Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 232

“Comrade Lebedev, your next task is to publicize the Seibu Group’s debt problems, especially credit debt, to the Japanese media. You must estimate the debt that Seibu Group cannot repay by next Monday to an approximate and accurate scale. Japanese financial media disclosed it…” Sergei used a voice changer to remotely direct Lebedev’s next mission. Lebedev had no idea that his superior was Moscow’s famous Minister Ulyanov. Lebedev only knows his superior code name “Phase Field Master”, and this title Lebedev has also been specially studied, and it is the old Japanese name for stockbrokers.

When Lebedev first concentrated on studying Western financial markets at the Institute of Economics of the International Socialist System in Moscow, he never thought that one day he would use his knowledge of economics to serve his country in this way. He himself couldn’t understand why the photo shooter would let him perform such a task. But he still vaguely felt that the photo shooter seemed to be the one who had been shorting the Seibu Group behind his back.

The photo shooter asked him to study the scale of bank credit debts of Seibu Group. He only gave three days. Even if Lebedev and his company’s employees worked overtime, it would be very urgent. But one thing Lebedev is clear is that Seibu Group’s credit debt is enough to trigger an earthquake in the Japanese banking system. Apart from other things, let’s talk about what Seibu Group relied on to eat a sixth of Japan’s land in the context of continuous increases in land prices in Japan. Of course, it was the bank’s credit, if it weren’t for the land held by Seibu Group. Value, this company has long been driven to a dead end by his aggressive development strategy.

To know how much money Seibu Group borrowed from the Japanese banking system, Lebedev had to study all the financial reports and audit reports of Seibu Group in the past five years. This is not an easy job.

Fortunately, it was just a simple and cumbersome accounting and auditing business. In order to get results as quickly as possible, Lebedev outsourced this work to Ambition Certified Public Accountants. Therefore, under the estimation of hundreds of professional accountants of Ambition, the debt scale of the entire Seibu Group could not help making Lebedev take a breath. The 170 subsidiaries of the Seibu Group lent a total of 2 trillion yen from the banking system. This figure may not be very vivid, but according to the 1988 statistical report just released by the Japanese government, Japan’s trillion yen last year was The amount means that Seibu Group’s credit debt is equivalent to about one-nineteenth of Japan’s GDP last year. And as the Seibu Group’s debt analysis report goes out, the debt relationship between Japan’s top 100 banks and Seibu Group is also clear at a glance.

Two trillion yen. That is two hundred billion dollars in debt. I am afraid that no Japanese bank can afford to lose this money. After Lebedev got the exact results, he immediately sent the report back to the country through the KGB intelligence system.

Sergei looked at the long list of banks in the report. These were only the debt relations between Japan’s top 100 banks and Seibu Group. Some smaller banks and financial companies did not appear on it. And Yoshiaki Tsutsumi’s business style is so special. Before the start of the action, Xie Liosa had carefully studied the biography of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the richest man in the world. This man did not start from scratch. He was the concubine of a large Japanese family. After squeezing out his elder brother and inheriting the family business, Tsui Yoshiaki began his dreamy business career. Tsui Yoshiaki’s business philosophy is to eat big and small. As long as it is profitable, he is willing to do it no matter how small the business is. Therefore, the Seibu Group has both large real estate companies and small businesses operating ice cream chain stores. Over the years, I don’t know how many companies have been acquired by him and then packaged and listed. It is precisely because of Tsuyoshi Aki’s business philosophy that Seibu Group has squeezed out Sony, Toshiba, Honda, Toyota and other Japanese manufacturing companies. , Became Japan’s No. 1 corporate group on par with the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Sumitomo Foundation and the Mitsui Foundation.

Sergey thought while running his fingers across the long bank directory. He has completed the first step of the entire Muddy Waters plan, which has plunged Seibu Group into a debt crisis, and now Sergei has to implement his second step plan, which is to allow Seibu Group’s debt crisis to spread to Japanese banks. system. In order to be convenient, it can also create enough social influence. Sergei directly selected his targets from the top ten banks in Japan. Soon he fell in love with Union Bank of Japan, which is ranked fourth in the Japanese banking industry.

Although the Bank of Japan is not the bank that grants the most credit to Seibu Group, it is the bank with the most prominent financial problems among the four major banks in Japan. A few years ago, the United Bank of Japan suffered huge losses due to the failure of overseas investment, and fell from second to fourth. And it was also widely distanced by the top three banks. In order to restore the decline, the United Bank of Japan formed a strategic alliance with the Seibu Group, which was thriving at the time. Provided Seibu Group with nearly 400 billion yen of credit ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ This amount is close to one-fifth of the assets of the United Bank of Japan. If the Seibu Group cannot repay the money, the Union Bank of Japan will close its doors.

After much consideration, Sergei finally decided to start with the United Bank of Japan, so under the instruction of Sergei, Lebedev once again disclosed the muddy water to Japan’s “Yomiuri Shimbun” in the name of the Muddy Water Research Institute. Exclusive financial analysis report for water.

In less than 24 hours, “Yomiuri Shimbun” disclosed the report to readers in the form of a column. Because of Muddy Water’s current reputation and attention, Muddy Water’s research report has become a hot topic of discussion on financial programs on major Japanese TV stations. The audience was first surprised by the size of Seibu Group’s huge debt. When Tsui Yoshiaki was the richest, his assets were as high as 130 billion U.S. dollars. But who would have thought that Seibu Group’s debt was as high as 200 billion U.S. dollars. “The world’s richest man” should be called “the world’s worst loser”.

Almost less than half an hour after the news was broadcast, the front door of Union Bank of Japan was suddenly full of customers who came to withdraw money. Many customers who have deposited their money in Union Bank of Japan have learned through TV that Union Bank of Japan is a major creditor of Seibu Group. Once Seibu Group is unable to pay its debts, then Union Bank of Japan must go bankrupt. As a result, a run on the United Bank of Japan finally kicked off Sergei’s plan. ()
