The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property - Chapter 581 Faction

January 5, 1992, exactly 5:30 pm.

The Kitahara TV screen changed, and the camera focused on the tall Kitahara Investment Headquarters building in the commercial center of Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

The large conference hall on the 36th floor of the building.

The huge staircase conference hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, is brightly lit and magnificently decorated, just like a palace.

As the camera moves, people in front of the TV can intuitively see every corner of the conference hall.

Countless people were excited and excited.

The concept of the Kitahara Foundation has long been deeply rooted in Osaka, and has since spread to other major cities.

In what is perceived as a recession in the national economy, waves of new college graduates are encountering unprecedented difficulty in finding jobs, which is in stark contrast to the golden job search period of the 1980s.

In particular, some core clubs of the six major consortiums have not recruited any new people in the past two years.

The only one going against the trend was the Kitahara clan club.

After the Kitahara Foundation was officially established two years ago, the Kitahara Corporation has recruited nearly a thousand new employees. Super high salaries, high-quality office environment, and enviable benefits. All of these are intertwined, making the Kitahara Corporation a recruitment market. In the most popular area in the world, even in its sub-clubs, elites who graduated from the National Four Heroes flocked to apply for jobs.

The companies that first joined forces with Kitahara Sosuke and were later integrated and merged into Kitahara Motors have now become indispensable automobile manufacturers in Japan. The Kitahara Motors they developed are as famous as Toyota and Grandta, and they are facing a sinking market. , extremely popular.

Hikaru Takeuchi, one of the two giants of Kitahara Motor Co., Ltd., accompanied by his daughter Hana Takeuchi, also wearing a suit, trousers and fireworks, came to the Kitahara Investment Headquarters building.

His stature was quite stooped. Although with the help of Kitahara Sosuke, Takeuchi Rubber was brought back to life and even managed to a level that he could not imagine, he also made countless efforts to secure this position.

At the end of 1989, Takeuchi Rubber almost went bankrupt for a loan of several million yen. Now, his annual salary is more than 10 million yen. Things are unpredictable.

“Dad, do you think President Kitahara will still remember me?” Takeuchi Hana looked a little timidly at the towering building and the general club members who came and went, all of whom seemed to be top elites.

After her family became wealthy, at the strong request of her father, she left the laboratory and went to a junior college for further study. After that, she went to study at the Mercedes headquarters in Germany for a year. She is now an executive director of Kitahara Motors. But she always felt that she was getting further and further away from Kitahara Sosuke and his circle.

In my memory, the young man who came to his factory with Norika Fujiwara holding an umbrella, and then said with a smile that the bank does not “borrow umbrellas on sunny days and take away umbrellas on rainy days”, has become increasingly blurry.

“You should remember that at that time, you yelled at President Kitahara several times.” Takeuchi Hikaru laughed.

“Oh, I didn’t understand anything at that time. Dad, why do you always mention this? It’s so embarrassing!” Takeuchihua stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.

“Brother Takeuchi, long time no see.” A burst of hearty laughter came from the outside, and Nakajima Matsu, who was relatively cheerful, walked step by step.

He is another giant of Kitahara Motors, the former president of Ada Seiki.

Following Nakashimamatsu was the unsmiling Yamada Kazuma.

His mother had a relationship with Nakajima Matsu. After being kicked out by the Yamada-gumi, he worked as a janitor at Ada Seiki. It was that loan incident that made him meet Kitahara Sosuke, which changed his life’s destiny.

“Brother Nakajima, haha, have you just arrived too?” Takeuchi Hikaru smiled and went up to say hello. He was the one who introduced Nakajima Matsu to Kitahara Sosuke. To Nakajima Matsu, Takeuchi Hikaru has been a good brother for many years. Good friends and lifesavers, the relationship between the two families is very good.

This also led to the fact that there were no factional divisions within Kitahara Motors. The two of them were always the dominant ones. In this regard, Kitano Lan once vaguely proposed the idea of ​​splitting the two. However, considering that they followed Kitahara Sosuke very early, it was The old hero, being a lover himself, was a little embarrassed, and he shouldn’t have done what Chino Rin should do, so he let it go.

“Hello, uncle Nakajima, hello brother Yamada.” Takeuchihua smiled sweetly.

“Hana-chan is beautiful again. Are you married?” Nakajima answered with a smile.

Yamada Kazuma nodded slightly in greeting and said no more.

“I’m already engaged to Shixiong. Uncle Nakajima remember to come for the wedding banquet when the time comes~” Takeuchihua replied with a smile. Her fiancé was the young man who was almost cheated in the laboratory. The two were childhood sweethearts and supported her all the way. It’s natural to be together.

After a while, a group of people from the former Osaka Chuo District branch of Tosan also arrived.

Headed by Kuroda Yu, there are also Ishikawa Sayuri and others. They were also the first cronies to follow Kitahara Sosuke. With this honor, they became prosperous in Kitahara Bank.

Sayuri Ishikawa had the experience of working as a secretary for Kitahara Sosuke, and was also a good friend of Kobayashi Kyoko. At that time, she was crazy about bringing the two of them together. Although she had never done anything about these things, she had the highest status among the group of people.

Now she and her husband have been committed to providing various financial talents to Kitahara Bank. Ishikawa Sayuri serves as the head of the human resources department of the Osaka branch and has made great achievements.

However, her relationship with Akatsuki Yamada is average. If Akatsuki Yamada comes to the Osaka branch, she will have a huge headache.

The group finished reminiscing and were about to enter the building, but were blocked by another wave of people.

There were also a group of people chatting happily at the door. When they saw them approaching, there was a hidden look of ridicule on their faces.

These people, headed by Akatsuki Yamada, including Masayoshi Son and others, were the top talents that Sosuke Kitahara later recruited from various fields and various clubs, and they are also one of the important pillars of the current Kitahara Consortium.

Ishikawa Sayuri and others are called the “Osaka School” internally. They are mainly composed of employees in the Osaka area and the elders who followed Kitahara Sosuke in the early days. They have a strong internal network of connections. Many of them are with Kitahara Sosuke or others. They have close relationships with women; Akatsuki Owada and others are called the “Tokyo Faction”. Most of the members live in Tokyo. They have deep backgrounds and are powerful, but as foreign monks, they have trouble dealing with the elders of the “Osaka Faction”.

Not far away, there was another wave of people.

They are collectively known as the “Kyoto faction”.

Representatives of the Kyoto faction include Kitahara Sosuke’s close friends, Hashimoto Shota, Echizen Goro, Miyazaki Hayao who controls Studio Ghibli, etc., as well as Irie Masa and other subordinates who are loyal to him, as well as some political and business circles. Characters, such as the former Yamashita Warden and his daughter, Nagano Shizuko (another daughter of Nissho Iwai President Hiroshi Uchida) who was ambiguous with Kitahara Sosuke, Miyazawa Kaoru, Kita Sonoko, and Sakai Mieko, etc.

Their characteristic is that they were a major supporter of Kitahara Sosuke during the Kyoto period, and they themselves were not involved in internal power struggles for various reasons, and they had good relations with the “Osaka faction” and the “Tokyo faction”.

In addition, because the Kitahara clan’s business has expanded overseas and has taken root in Thailand and Russia, Kikujiro and others have gradually spawned a large “overseas faction”. They call themselves Victoria. people

As the Beiyuan Consortium grows, the number of internal factions will only increase and become more complex. This is inevitable.

Looking down from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see this scene at a glance. Standing next to Kitahara Sosuke is Chino Rin. She will give birth to a baby in April or May. She insists on attending this meeting, and her five-six-month-old belly is beginning to take shape. She slightly covered her size with loose clothes, but her figure was still charming and her appearance was still peerless.

“Aosuke, there is a strong smell of gunpowder between them.” Chino Rin said, holding his shoulders and whispering, “Oh, Osaka faction, Tokyo faction, Kyoto faction, and an overseas faction?”

“It is something that is inevitable. Just like the internal corruption last time, even if I reach that point, there are still people who can’t control their hands and mouths, and there are always familiar old faces who have left the Beihara Consortium forever.” Kithara Sosuke smiled, then looked down, “I hope one day, I won’t see any of them leave the Kithara Consortium.”

The consortium is like a country, and he is the emperor of this country. In the past, I couldn’t understand why many of the country’s heroes had difficulty ending up in peace, but now I can understand it.

Various reasons always emerge in endlessly.

Human desires are endless.

He only hoped that there would not be a day when he would personally send away a group of people.
