In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Nao Nagano was driving on the road to the company site.

The guy was whistling with a relaxed look on his face, obviously in a good mood.

nonsense.

As a worker, although my income was meager, I still wanted to eat seafood. The problem was that I couldn’t buy it even if I spent all my savings and gave all my sincerity.

Watching the boss order seafood and eat it to his heart’s content, I was so envious.

But he was clearly eating seafood, and he wanted to go to a roadside food stall to order some cheap abalone, but he got food poisoning and was eventually fined and jailed for half a month.

People eat it every day, taking turns eating it, and even eat hundreds of them together, and nothing happens to them.

What now?

The seafood that you used to be unable to afford at a sky-high price is now delivered to your door and you can even enjoy it at your own expense.

A sense of satisfaction and superiority lingers in my heart.

cool!

Came to the club whistling.

After parking the broken car, Nagano Nao went to the office.

Kurata Himiri was helping him annotate documents. Seeing someone coming over, she put down her pen and said, "Sir, many presidents have wanted to visit you these days. One just called again."

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't call adults when no one is around."

"Hate it! It's so embarrassing to call you that. I can't even call you that."

"Shout or not?"

"Owner!"

Kurata Himiri said this with a wronged look on her face, her face turning red with embarrassment.

Nagano Nao took the opportunity to sit on the still warm chair and hugged her: "Who wants to visit me?"

"Yamaguchi Bank President Fukuyama Hisari, Sanwa Securities Public Relations Department Director Kawamura Hayato, Hyogo Bank President Watanabe Masao..."

Chapter 147 The Past and Present of Sanhe Group (Two chapters in one, please subscribe)

Japan is a developed free market country.

The financial industry can be said to be the most developed in Asia.

Just like the banking industry, in addition to the Bank of Japan as the core bank, there are also major financial group main banking institutions, and the main banks also have industrial banks with different businesses. In addition to these banking institutions, each county and prefecture also has local urban banks.

Yamaguchi Bank and Hyogo Bank, as their names suggest, are both local banks.

As two urban banks in the Kansai region, since they are able to survive in Kansai, they naturally have certain business relationships with the Sanwa Group.

The complexity of this relationship often dates back decades or even hundreds of years.

Just like the Yamaguchi Bank, its head office was originally set up in Kobe, and its major shareholder is the Yamaguchi Corporation, and the major shareholder of the Yamaguchi Corporation is the Yamaguchi-gumi. However, the relationship between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sanwa Group is very complicated.

In the mid-10s, the police set up the "Outline of Measures to Suppress Violence" and re-designated the 5 major wide-area gangs, adding five organizations: Tokyo Sumiyoshi-kai, Tokyo Nihon Kokusei-kai, Tokyo Tosei-kai, Kawasaki Yoshito-tō, and Tokyo Hokusei-kai. They then launched the first nationwide "Operation Top" to crack down on gangs.

In this operation, the Yamaguchi-gumi was listed as the primary target for crackdown.

Originally, the Yamaguchi-gumi would be destroyed this time, but Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda turned a blind eye and as a result, the Yamaguchi-gumi not only did not die, but instead gradually broke out of Kansai and became the largest violent group.

The Ikeda family and the Mito Tokugawa family behind Sanwa are related by marriage, so the relationship between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sanwa Group becomes even more complicated.

Just like Toho Corporation, which is controlled by Hankyu, the reason why it was able to become the largest entertainment company is inseparable from the influence of the Yamaguchi-gumi's branches across the country.

As one of the 44 main companies under Sanwa, although Nippon Seibo is detached, it also has many business dealings with Yamaguchi Bank.

For example, when it comes to pension payments, urban banks in each region will assume this responsibility, and local banks are undoubtedly the best choice.

Another example is revenue.

Japan Life Insurance is just an insurance company and cannot engage in commercial activities directly. It cannot just lie down and sleep all day with tens of trillions of dollars, so it naturally needs some channels to make money.

For example, lending money is a sure way to make money!

There is also usury, which makes even more money.

But big companies can’t possibly get involved in such low-level, inferior industries!

Therefore, the Yamaguchi Bank, which is controlled by the Yamaguchi-gumi, is naturally a long-term partner. As for whether the Yamaguchi Bank uses the money for real estate loans, consumer loans, or usury, it has nothing to do with Japan Life Insurance.

Ok!

The main thing is that Japan's Shengbao has always been very proud!

Hyogo Bank is actually similar.

But if Yamaguchi Bank can be regarded as the wild grandson of the Sanwa Group, then Hyogo Bank can only be said to be the wild grandson of the wild grandson.

If someone wants to come and visit you, it’s definitely not okay to not see them.

In a society where you have to give gifts to your neighbors even when you move house, it is impossible for a stay-at-home person who is afraid of socializing to survive.

Nagano Nao said: "Then you can take care of the arrangements, Feili."

"Master, do you have any other social engagements recently?" Kurata Himiri asked seriously, holding a pen.

Nagano Nao thought for a moment and said, "Except for entertaining you and Hattori, there should be nothing else."

"Hate!"

Kurata Himiri smiled angrily but started to make a schedule.

Don't tell me yet.

She was quite talented at being a secretary. Even though she had only been working as a secretary for a short time, she had already adapted to the job and arranged President Nagano's schedule perfectly.

I picked up the itinerary and took a look at it.

daily:

Chair the meeting at 9am.

Signed and sealed at ten o'clock.

The lunch break is from twelve to two.

At three o'clock, I made an appointment with Hankyu President Yoshiaki Shingo to play golf and discuss business.

Meet with Hisashi Fukuyama, President of Yamaguchi Bank, at 7 o'clock.

Thursday......

......

The packed schedule has fully arranged the time, and even meals and rest have been planned in advance.

Nagano Nao laughed and said, "I never knew that you, Hiri, are really suitable to be a housekeeper!"

"Hmph! Don't look down on me. I'm from the School of Management." Kurata Himiri said a little proudly, with a kind of smugness and sweetness in her voice.

Nagano Nao couldn't help but reward him: "Then I'll follow your arrangements. However, the appointment with Yoshiaki Shingo will be held at another place."

"Why? It would be rude to suddenly change the place of the reservation."

You can't say you can't play golf!

To be honest, it's really embarrassing.

Golf has long been a national sport, and even a casual game costs tens of thousands of yen.

It's just that in this bubble era, even the lowest-paid convenience store employees can play golf. You are the Minister of Health and Welfare of Japan, the President of Osaka Asset Management, and you control hundreds of billions of funds. Even your fart can attract many people. If you can't play golf, people will probably laugh to death.

Suddenly I thought of Jingtian Heng.

Every time I meet myself, I take a bath.

At that time, because I had no clothes to cover my body, I always felt like everything was seen through, which was very stressful.

Could this also be a means of controlling subordinates and gaining power?

"I suddenly want to take a hot spring bath."

"Hayi! I'll notify Hankyu right away to go to Arima Onsen."

that's it.

Lunch break until three o'clock.

Naoto Nagano arrived at Arima Onsen.

This hot spring also belongs to Sanhe and is controlled by the industrial center Nissho Iwai.

Of course, to be precise, in Osaka and the entire Kansai, from birth to death, from eating to shitting, from walking to going to heaven, everything is inseparable from Sanwa.

In this respect, Sanhe is completely different from other conglomerates.

Old conglomerates are often centered around banks, radiating to the entire conglomerate industry, or like Yasuda, they only engage in the financial industry.

Because Sanhe’s past and present life are just like its name, it almost went bankrupt three times.

The first crisis occurred in 1933, when Sanhe had not yet formed a conglomerate and only the banking industry made a living mainly by lending.

As a bank, Sanhe can be regarded as a non-mainstream bank. This non-mainstream does not mean non-mainstream, but rather means weird and not serious.

At that time, it was only a few years since the outbreak of World War II. The country was vigorously developing heavy industry and chemistry. All major conglomerates and banks saw the signs and expanded their business in this direction. However, Sanhe Bank was actually dealing with some light industrial loan business. The whole country could not find a loan target even after digging deep in the ground!

Sanhe’s trading partners are also not engaged in serious business - light industry mainly based on fiber.

There is a price to pay for not doing one's job properly, and the result was that after the end of World War II, Sanhe Bank fell from third to the last of the five major banks.

Fortunately, the leaders of the Sanwa Group were not the kind of people who would not turn back until they hit the wall. After the war, they immediately adjusted their business and began to transform into a heavy chemical industry center, providing loans to machinery and steel manufacturers based in Osaka.

Don't tell me yet.

If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.

Because it did not participate in the war, Sanwa Bank was not affected like other groups when the financial system was disintegrated after the war.

Moreover, with the revival of the fiber industry, Sanhe Bank immediately recovered. Many textile industries were under the loan business of Sanhe Bank. At that time, Sanhe Bank was in its heyday.

However, after the war, they strongly supported the development of heavy industry, which was obviously a stupid act.

In the 1950s, deflation swept Japan. Sanhe Bank was unable to recover its huge loans and suffered tons of damage, so much so that it almost went bankrupt and had to change its business direction in order to survive.
