In the morning, 11:50, Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Branch.

As the vice president of the branch, Shimada was sitting in the office, studying in detail the 500 million yen non-performing loan related to Dongshan Club's letter of credit. He frowned and carefully flipped through the pages.

However, after a while, it seemed that I had found nothing. I sighed softly and closed the document again.

Then, Shimada picked up Kitahara's resume and looked at it carefully again, looking at the information with sharp eyes like an eagle. He was convinced that Kitahara was not innocent in this 500 million yen pledged warehouse receipt incident.

This Kitahara must still maintain some kind of communication channel with the missing law firm director Eto, and he must dig out the inside story behind it.

Shimada has gradually felt the pressure in the bank. Especially in the morning, the head office of Mizuho Bank announced the establishment of a special work team, which will conduct inspections in 47 secondary branches across the country and collect information on important loan projects under each branch.

, check whether due diligence has been performed, whether there are any violations of the bank's internal control system, and whether there are any cover-ups of bad loan debts.

As this news came, all branches and sub-branches were already panicking. In this recent period in Japan, in order to complete the loan task targets assigned by the above, the subordinate branches and sub-branches have more or less tampered with the loan projects.

The formal risk control review only satisfies the situation on the surface. If a substantive review is actually carried out, I don’t know how many bad debts can be uncovered.

This inspection of the head office is about to bring a storm, and if nothing unexpected happens, it may cause another personnel shakeup within the bank.

And Shimada didn't want to be shocked. He looked at the information on his desk. Among the projects he handled, the one he was most worried about was the 500 million yen bad debt of Dongshan Club's letter of credit. Although he had tried hard to cover it up

, but there is no guarantee that this inspection will not be discovered. During the nationwide inspection, if it is revealed that the pledged warehouse receipts disappeared, and 290 tons of copper disappeared from the Tokyo Bay port, such a major low-level mistake, I am afraid that I

It will become a joke among bank colleagues, and your career will be completely unsafe.

Suddenly, "哐, 哐, 哐", there was a rapid knock on the door.

As if he didn't care that the person sitting inside was the vice president of the branch, he heard the voice of the person outside the door anxiously saying: "Vice President Shimada, the president of the Tokyo branch has arrived downstairs. Please prepare to attend immediately.

Inspection Countermeasures Meeting!”

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Mizuho Bank Head Office announced a nationwide inspection. The first stop of the special work team's inspection was the Tokyo Branch. Tokyo Branch President Yukihiro Takamatsu immediately decided to take the lead in self-examination and self-correction before the inspection began. Only the news of the nationwide inspection was announced.

In less than 2 hours, Takamatsu planned to lead his team to conduct a survey at the Shinjuku District branch, and at the same time hold an inspection and countermeasures meeting at the Shinjuku District branch. The presidents and deputy presidents of the 23 ward branches in Tokyo must all come, except for business trips.

Shinjuku City Branch attended the meeting.

Shimada opened the office door, stood in the corridor, and looked down.

His office is on the third floor. At this time, the corridor on the second floor and the lobby on the first floor are already filled with employees of the Shinjuku branch. These employees have finished dressing and are standing nervously at the entrance of the lobby, looking at the bright door.

, be prepared for the business sedan that will appear at any time.

After a while, the shadow of the vehicle seemed to be vaguely visible, and then the glass door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the lobby of the branch first. His face was a little dark, and his face looked a bit weathered, like an ancient general who had survived a brutal battle on the battlefield. As he followed,

The moment he stepped into the lobby, the tense and solemn atmosphere was pushed to its peak. The air suddenly felt like a quagmire, making people breathless.

The man in the lead is President Takamatsu of the Tokyo Branch. He is from Kansai and first served as the deputy president of the branch in Miyako-ku, Osaka. He is extremely familiar with trust investment business and overseas cross-border financing business. In his

During his management period, the Osaka Miyako Sub-branch relied on his two unique skills to become the number one Kansai branch in performance. He was later promoted to the president of the Tokyo Branch and officially entered the bank's middle and senior management system.

During his tenure as the president of the Tokyo branch, he was known for his high-pressure employee management. He once introduced a last-place elimination system, which squeezed the employees of various branches in Tokyo into misery. Although the last-place elimination system was eventually criticized due to too much opposition.

, was forced to suspend, but the strict performance appraisal system was retained. So much so that employees of various branches in Tokyo privately called President Takamatsu of the Tokyo branch "Old Yama."

Behind Takamatsu, there are other branch directors, as well as the presidents and deputy presidents of branches in Tokyo's 23 wards. The management of these banks all exude a similar oppressive aura. With the arrival of many leaders, these

A mountainous sense of oppression is forcing every employee standing in the lobby and corridors.

When a female employee of the Shinjuku branch standing at the gate saw Takamatsu, her throat trembled at first and she was a little nervous, but then she said loudly, "Welcome President Takamatsu of the Tokyo Branch to come and give guidance! All colleagues from the branch are welcome to visit!!"

A loud female voice echoed in the lobby.

In an instant, the entire lobby suddenly burst into applause. The applause came like a wave over and over again. Many employees kept applauding vigorously, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces. When the big shots of the branch passed by, they nodded slightly.

Just like a humble feudal retinue meeting his master knight.

Amidst the applause and smiles, the strict hierarchy within the bank was clearly revealed.

Takamatsu continued to walk forward expressionlessly, as if he was accustomed to this kind of welcome ceremony. He looked up at the president of the Shinjuku branch who came to receive him, and simply asked where the conference room was.

No polite words or pleasantries, just get to the point.

This is enough to illustrate the serious nature of the nationwide inspection that the head office is about to launch.

When Shimada saw this scene, he couldn't help but sweat broke out on his back, and his hands were shaking slightly. Although the head office suddenly announced a nationwide inspection this time, there were actually some signs before. The Tokyo branch has already

Inexplicably, it intensified its efforts to spot-check loan projects of its various district branches.

It is estimated that the branch has actually already received the news that the head office is preparing to start inspections.

Various types of credit and loan projects that Shimada was responsible for were also included in the random inspections. However, there were so many various branch projects that the branch randomly inspected that Shimada doubted whether the branch really had enough manpower to complete these random inspections. His own

Whether Higashiyama Kaisha's letter of credit project can escape the nationwide inspection and the internal self-correction of the Tokyo branch.

Shimada recalled the figure named Kitahara again in his mind.

hateful!!!

It would be great if Kithara could raise 50 million yen by the end of the month!

As long as I have the 50 million yen, I will be able to temporarily cover up this incident.

Shimada clenched his fists slightly and walked towards the conference room with somewhat heavy steps. The conference room was usually not far from his office, but now when walking, it seemed like a cliffside path in the mountains, making people walk step by step.
Chapter completed!
