With the Yamada consortium as a shield, they can do many things conveniently.For example, in the name of commercial espionage, spying on intelligence from all over the country, and playing an unexpected role at important moments, today is such a moment.

"Hello, I want to withdraw money." A well-dressed Japanese businessman walked to the counter with a smile, hoping to handle the withdrawal business. He was Shigeru Yamada in the disguise of a biochemical man.

The bank clerk didn't take it seriously, he handled it according to ordinary business, but when he opened the deposit receipt, he took a deep breath. It turned out that 5000 million Japanese yen was written on the deposit receipt.The salesman panicked at the time. He didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he could only bow and apologize to Shigeru Yamada, and then turned to find the manager.

The bank manager was quite calm, so he immediately hung up the phone to the president of Zhengjin Bank, Okubo Zongzheng, and then came to Shigeru Yamada with a smile and said: "I'm sorry, sir, if you want to withdraw more than one million yuan at one time in our bank, you need Make an appointment one day in advance, because it is impossible to store so much cash in the bank at any time."

"Really?" Shigeru Yamada didn't seem surprised, he stood up and smiled politely at the manager, "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow." Accompanied by him, he went out.

The manager quickly followed up with a smile: "Sir, our President Okubo hopes to meet with you in private. I wonder if you have time."

"Is Okubo Masamune? I still have this time, you send someone to lead me the way." Shigeru Yamada smiled and waved his hands.

"Hai." The manager hurriedly stood at attention and bowed, and then quickly arranged personnel to guide Shigeru Yamada's Chevrolet car to the mansion of Masamune Okubo.

Okubo Zong is the grandnephew of Okubo Toshimichi, the three masters of the Restoration, and is now the head of the Yokohama Specie Bank.Due to the family tradition, he did not live in a novel bungalow villa, but still lived in an old Japanese-style traditional wooden house.

After Yamada Shigeru arrived, Okubo Zongzheng received him in a kimono, and the two parties sat down on the tatami mat. Okubo Zongzheng said: "I haven't asked your name yet."

Shigeru Yamada bowed slightly: "Shigeru Yamada, I have asked Mr. Okubo about his reputation for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today."

"It turns out that you are the head of the Yamada consortium. I'm sorry." Okubo Zongzheng was taken aback. He immediately bowed his head to Shigeru Yamada as a salute, and then asked, "I don't know why Mr. Yamada came to the bank in such a hurry to withdraw money." Money, do you need it urgently?"

"Yes, the current financial turmoil has affected my consortium industry. Several companies have broken their capital chains, and I have to withdraw money to fill the loopholes. In addition, Hualan Industry and Commerce have been severely damaged. I plan to merge some Hualan companies. , Strengthen your own power." Shigeru Yamada expressed his thoughts without hesitation, making Okubo Zongzheng secretly stunned.

Unexpectedly, this newly rising business star of the Japanese country is so powerful. When the whole world is in financial chaos, he still has such strength to expand, but he is destined to not be able to get the money.It's not that Shigeru Yamada's certificate of deposit is a fake, even if it's a fake, it's impossible to be so blatant.

Shigeru Yamada did deposit 5000 million Japanese yen in cash at Zhengjin Bank one after another, which has greatly improved the performance of Yokohama Specie Bank in the past two years, but the situation has changed now.In the tide of rubber stocks, Zhengjin Bank, as an investment industry, also invested a lot of money in the stock market.In addition, the Ministry of Finance and the emperor personally paid a lot of money and entrusted Zhengjin Bank to invest in the stock market, but all the money was wasted.

Because of this situation, not only Zhengjin Bank is now tightening its money, but even the funds of the Japanese treasury are very tight.The shortage of funds in the national treasury not only affected the Fusang, the first ship of the first Japanese super crossbow-class battleship that was about to start construction, but even the Hanoi-class battleship under construction almost stopped work.Zhengjin Bank, which is facing poor capital turnover, can't give 5000 million Japanese yen to Shigeru Yamada at all.

"I don't know if you can accommodate me. Now that Zhengjin Bank is short of funds, I can't come up with so much money for the time being. Please forgive me, Yamada-kun." Okubo Zongzheng showed embarrassment.

"How can this work? Did Okubo-kun forget the business rules?" Shigeru Yamada's face darkened, "Since I have saved money in the bank, I can take it out when I need it. Your manager said that you need to make an appointment, and I abide by the rules." , Come back tomorrow to withdraw. But if I don’t get the money tomorrow, Zhengjin Bank will be in breach of contract, and you will declare bankruptcy.”

Yamada Shigeru's words were very harsh, and he stood up abruptly: "I'm leaving, I hope Okubo-kun can collect the money I need tomorrow, otherwise I will submit a protest to the Ministry of Finance." After finishing speaking, he ignored Okubo Zongzheng call, and left without looking back.

After Shigeru Yamada left, Masamune Okubo knew that he was in trouble this time, so he had no choice but to visit the Prime Minister Keitaro, hoping that the other party could give him a solution.

Katsura Katsura was born in the Japanese army. He has formed a cabinet three times in history. He is the longest-serving prime minister in the history of the Japanese country. He has become one of the driving forces for the Japanese invasion of China.As the spokesperson of Youtomo of Yamagata, he still has some affection for the Okubo family.What's more, the Yokohama Specie Bank is the bridgehead of Japan's invasion of China. It is related to the future of Japan, and the country will not let it go bankrupt.It is for this reason that Okubo Zongzheng came to visit in person.

"You mean that Shigeru Yamada, the chairman of the Yamada Foundation, went to the bank to withdraw money in person? You are also required to pay off the 5000 million Japanese yen deposit certificate tomorrow?" Gui Taro narrowed his eyes, obviously thinking about something.

"Yes. Now that the bank's funds have suffered greatly, it is impossible to repay such a large amount of cash. I hope that the Prime Minister can come forward and let the Yamada Foundation be flexible for a few days, so that I can raise funds." Okubomune was pleading there with his head down.

"Baga, what you said sounds nice. 5000 million Japanese won is not a small amount. Even the national treasury is hard to get it out now. Can you make up enough?" Gui Taro became angry when he heard that, 5000 million Japanese won is enough After building two Fuso-class battleships, where did Okubo Zongzheng go to raise so much money in a short time.If Zhengjin Bank still does not have enough money by then, where will his face be placed?

Chapter 333 The Acquisition of Shigeru Yamada

Okubo Zongzheng was so scolded that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't even dare to show his anger, but Katsura's anger still persisted.In fact, Guitaro also knows that this matter is not blamed on Okubo Zongzheng. This stock market crash was not estimated by Japan, and even the national treasury was in a serious deficit because of it. Now he is also having a headache with funds.

Gui Taro thought for a while and said: "How about this, make an appointment with Mr. Shigeru Yamada for me tomorrow, I want to meet him."

"Hai." Hearing that Guitaro wanted to see Yamada Shigeru, Okubo Zongzheng knew that he was saved, and he immediately agreed.

The next day Guitaro received Shigeru Yamada at his home. It was rare for the Prime Minister to receive Shigeru Yamada at his home, even if he was a member of the four major consortiums of Japan, but Shigeru Yamada didn't seem to be very happy about it.After the two parties drank a few glasses of sake, the geisha were called up to perform singing and dancing.

Katsura Yamada approached Shigeru Yamada with the help of Jiujin: "Yamada-kun is worthy of being a business genius. In just a few years, you have established a huge Yamada consortium. Now your consortium can be as famous as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda. Five big chaebols in Japan .”

"It's because I met an enlightened government that I got such an opportunity." Shigeru Yamada flattered him a little, and Katsuraro was greatly appreciated.

"Actually, I came to Yamada-kun today because of the deposit problem of Zhengjin Bank." Gui Taro said: "Yamada-kun should know that the recent rubber stocks have made everyone miserable, and even the country has suffered a lot. Zhengjin Bank Now that there is a shortage of funds, it is difficult to make up the deposit of 5000 million Japanese yen, so I think it will be possible for Yamada-kun to suspend the withdrawal and wait for a while."

"Wait for a while? As far as I know, this stock market crash has spread widely, and I'm afraid it will hit the industries of various countries. The financial industry will be in a downturn in the next few years, and it will be difficult for Zhengjin Bank to get out of the slump." Shigeru Yamada is obviously Come prepared, what Katsura said is hard to refute.

Gui Taro frowned, he really wanted to say let the Yamada Group invest some more funds to revitalize Zhengjin Bank.After all, Zhengjin Bank is the bridgehead for Japan's invasion of China, and the financial industry that has been cultivated for many years cannot be easily given up.Seemingly knowing Guitaro's thoughts, Shigeru Yamada smiled and bowed: "Actually, I have a solution."

"Do you have a solution? Tell me quickly." Gui Taro asked immediately after being refreshed.

Shigeru Yamada smiled calmly and said, "As the financial window of the Great Japanese Empire and the channel for Hualan to pay Gengzi's indemnity, Zhengjin Bank can't fall down. But because of poor management, I think the Okubo family has fallen It is difficult to maintain the normal operation of the bank, so I hope to acquire Zhengjin Bank."

"Acquisition?" Gui Taro gasped. In the history of Japan, there has never been a precedent for the acquisition of a state-backed bank.

"Yes, I will inject funds into Zhengjin Bank to revitalize it. From now on, we will still be the economic window of the empire to the outside world, and we will act in full accordance with the will of the empire." Shigeru Yamada's words are indeed the best way to solve the crisis, but Katsura still has concerns.

The reason why the Okubo family was able to occupy a high position and control the huge Yokohama Specie Bank was due to the shadow of Okubo Toshimichi, one of the "Three Heroes of the Restoration" from his ancestors.It's a pity that the talent of the Okubo family has withered. Since Okubo Zongzheng took charge of the family business, Zhengjin Bank is gradually declining.If it weren't for the government's policy support and Boxer indemnity, Zhengjin Bank would have closed down long ago.

Gui Taro hesitated, he also knew the current domestic situation.Once Zhengjin Bank goes bankrupt, it may cause a chain reaction, and the result will be unpredictable at that time.But he was very worried about handing it over to the newly emerging Yamada consortium.

Seeing Guitaro's hesitation, Yamada Shigeru said with a smile: "My company is very large and urgently needs a big bank for capital flow, and Zhengjin Bank is suitable for it. Even if it goes bankrupt and acquired, I will reopen it. "

Shigeru Yamada first expressed his determination to win, and then changed the subject: "If the government can support me to get the Zhengjin Bank, I am willing to pay part of the funds to support the Navy's Fuso shipbuilding plan."

Shigeru Yamada's words made Gui Taro's eyes brighten. Although he was born in the army, his vision was no longer limited to the army in this position.Katsura Katsura knew very well that for an island country like the Wa Kingdom, if it wanted to ensure national security, it must have a strong naval support.

For a long time, Japan has always regarded naval construction as a top priority, and the people of the whole country tightened their belts and wanted to build warships.However, since the launch of the Dreadnought battleship of the Saar Kingdom in 1907, it was declared that all battleships in the world at that time were obsolete, so the Wa Kingdom was eager to build new warships.

In order to obtain the design drawings of the new warship, Wa again gritted his teeth to raise funds, and ordered the King Kong battleship and a complete set of drawings from Saar.After getting the drawings, the Japanese people felt like they had found a treasure, and after careful research, they designed the Fusang super crossbow-class battleship.Originally, the Japanese shipyard had already planned to lay the keel and prepare for the start of the first ship, but this time the rubber stock market disaster drained the funds of the Japanese country, and the construction of the new warship was urgently stopped.

Without the super crossbow-class battleship, it would be difficult for the country to protect its own sea area, and the whole country has reached a consensus on this point.Seeing that the design drawings of the warship are already available, but it has been delayed due to funding problems, Gui Taro is very anxious.Today Shigeru Yamada suddenly said that he would provide funds. How could this not make Guitaro ecstatic, and after thinking twice, he decided that he could only betray Okubo Zongzheng.

"If Yamada-kun can support one-third of the cost of the four Fuso-class battleships, I will agree to your request." Katsura Katsura knew that it would be difficult for a consortium to support the construction of four battleships. After all, it would cost more than 3000 million Japanese yen. .So he decided to ask the other party to provide one-third of the funds, and the country will take part of the remaining money, and can also get part of the assistance from the other four big chaebols, so that the new battleship will be available.

Shigeru Yamada's face showed embarrassment. He deliberately thought for a long time before bowing his head and said: "Hai, for the glory of the empire, the Yamada consortium will do its best." The poor Okubo Zong was still waiting for the good news at home, but he didn't know that he had been betrayed A good price was paid.

In the past two years, Zhengjin Bank obtained a lot of benefits from Xia Yeping Company by lending money to Sheng Xingsun, and obtained 40-year parity right to use Daye ore for Yawata Iron and Steel Works, which made Okubozong proud for a while.As a result, before the ink on the agreement was dry, the Yawata Iron Works was annexed by the Yamada Group.Now in this stock market crash, Okubozong originally wanted to create another glories, but ended up ruining his own future.

Chapter 334 True and False Japanese Yuan

When Okubo Zongzheng knew the cabinet's decision, he sat on the spot for a long time without saying a word.Wa country is such a realistic country. When you have enough power, you will have friends everywhere. Once you lose power, no one will take a second look at you.The loser is always just a joke for others, which is one of the reasons why the Wa country advocates power.

After the Yamada consortium took over the Yokohama Specie Bank, the financial situation has stabilized, but without knowing it, prices in Japan are rising rapidly.The reason for rising prices is very simple, that is, there is an excess of money.

Currency is an equivalent. When it is equal to the products produced by the country, the price will be very stable. Once there is a shortage or surplus of currency, it will cause fluctuations in product prices.Wa country has always been careful to print currency, and has never dared to issue excessive Japanese yuan to avoid large fluctuations in the economy, but the current economic performance is exactly the situation of printing and issuing a large number of paper money.

After Gui Taro got the news, his first reaction was that someone was forging Japanese coins, but he soon gave up this idea.At that time, Japan's printing technology was not outstanding, so they worked hard on paper.Wayuan's paper is made of four kinds of wood pulp unique to the country of Wa, and is manufactured according to strict ratios, which cannot be easily imitated.This technology was very advanced at the time, and the Japanese Yuan became one of the most difficult currencies to be imitated at that time.

There is no danger of being counterfeited, and the Japanese government naturally wanted to check the channels of currency inflow, but they sent a letter before they could check the Yamada consortium.It is claimed that when Okubo Sosho was in charge, more than a dozen foreign banks in Guanghai City sold Japanese dollars wantonly, and exchanged Japanese dollars from Zhengjin Bank for a large amount of foreign exchange, which caused many Japanese dollars to return to the country.

Gui Taro was taken aback. He knew that those foreign capitalists had no sympathy to talk about. As long as it was beneficial to him, he never minded betraying his friends.However, the return of so many Japanese yuan has already exceeded the amount of currency printed by the Japanese country, which seems a bit wrong.After a cabinet meeting and discussion, they quickly came to a conclusion.The powerful countries in the Western Continent have suffered too much losses in this stock market crash. They are using their advanced technology to forge Japanese coins to make up for the shortfall.

With this judgment, the Japanese government will naturally take immediate action. They ordered all the overseas banks of the Japanese country to stop accepting the Japanese dollar exchange business to prevent the loss of foreign exchange.Although the Japanese government's decision kept its own foreign exchange, it also completely offended those foreign banks.

When foreign banks in Gwanghae took back their loans, the Gwanghae merchants gave them a large amount of Japanese dollars. The money cannot be circulated globally, and it is of little use for them to keep it in their hands.But now that the Japanese yuan has stopped being exchanged, the money is in their hands, so the governments of various countries jointly put pressure on the Japanese country and demanded that the Japanese yuan exchange be reopened.

The country of Wa is also aware of its sufferings. The trauma of the stock market disaster is already huge. If the crisis is passed on to other countries, the economy of the country of Wa will go bankrupt.Therefore, they can only grit their teeth to withstand the pressure of various countries, and refuse to open the exchange business under the pretext of the appearance of counterfeit Japanese yuan coins.

There is nothing wrong with Wa's actions, but all the powerful countries in the Western Continent were annoyed at once, and in the end even Sa'er began to alienate Wa, intentionally or unintentionally.In order not to crush its own economy, Wa paid the price of being isolated internationally.
