"You can do it if there is no law prohibiting it." Hamano replied forcefully: "Don't your companies often say that they want freedom? Is there any law that prohibits two companies whose presidents are husband and wife from participating in bidding? There is no such thing in terms of procedures.

Question. As long as the accounting systems of the two clubs are sound and their finances are independent of each other, it doesn't matter if they are husband and wife."

"Don't shy away from relatives when promoting talents. As long as they can provide quality projects to the city hall and citizens, then so what!" Hamano said.

"I think you used this sentence to the wrong person." Beiyuan took a step forward, "For citizens, it is indeed 'anything can be done unless the law prohibits it', but as your city hall, it is 'anything can be done without authorization by law'

Prohibited! Clubs with a marital relationship can bid, but the question is, has your city hall verified whether there is concerted action and collusion in bidding!!"

In an instant, Kitahara immediately exposed Hamano's logic.

"Our city hall strictly abides by legal regulations and procedural requirements in all bidding projects, and fulfills its verification obligations!" Hamano continued to reply. At this time, he was a little overwhelmed.

The young male lawyer continued to walk forward.

Every step closer makes the opponent feel immense pressure.

"If that's the case, then show us the evidence that your city hall has fulfilled its verification obligations!" Kitahara suddenly raised his voice, "If you can't show it, then please explain to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Department of Finance why you didn't check such obvious benefits.

Relationship, why are you derelict in your duties! Did you receive any benefits?!"

Hamano was so shocked by Kithara's sudden burst of powerful aura that he shivered.

Especially the sentence asking him to provide evidence.

This is what he said before, and he said it back in his face.

"If you need evidence." Kitahara turned to look at Iwasa, the adjudicator of the case, "We can retrieve the bank records of the two presidents. Let's see how the profits of the two companies were distributed to their respective shareholders.

How are the bank transfers going?"

Hamano was forced to this point, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He seemed to hear the beating of his own heart.

As a very senior lawyer, he has not felt such tension for a long time.

The young man in front of me actually has such ability.

Even Hamano now has to use his full strength.

Hamano understands that any excuse he makes now is feeble. Instead, the other party will only seize the flaw and fight back more violently.

After further thinking, Hamano already had a solution. That is to "supplement" a copy of the materials directly afterwards. Yes, let the two clubs provide a "note" before participating in the bidding. As long as it is disclosed in the "note"

As long as the relationship between the two is husband and wife, it won't be a big deal.

Any material can be replenished.

As long as it can be proven that the city hall has fulfilled its relevant obligations and there are no violations, it will be fine.

How many materials are needed in this form, and how many are there.

Supplement whatever documents are needed.

City Hall will always be invincible.

Thinking of this, Hamano suddenly calmed down. He immediately said: "As to whether the city hall has fulfilled its verification obligations, we will supplement the information after today."

As soon as these words came out, all the city hall officials present understood it. This means to make up for it afterwards. If you can make up a set of materials that appear to have no procedural problems, then it will be useless even if the lawyer opposite you shouts at your throat.

.

Miyagawa, who was sitting on the seat, also heard the implication of Hamano's words.

Obviously, for the city hall, any material can be supplemented.

And for Beiyuan, it is really unfair.

No matter how you tear open the opponent's defense, you can fill it up immediately.

This is the power of those in power.

Hamano bets that Kitahara only controls this one project at most. The presidents of the two companies are husband and wife, which indeed provides superficial evidence of whether there is collusion in bidding. However, this situation is rare after all. High-tech Industrial Park

For bidding projects, this is the only project that has such problems.

You are lucky to have caught this mistake this time.

Such luck will never happen again.

Bidding collusion is so difficult to prove.

Hamano believes that Kithara will never be able to provide evidence of collusive bidding in other projects.

"Next, I will describe the second project where there is collusion in bidding." Kitahara stood in front of the conference table and said. At this time, he paused slightly as if to make him appetizing. It was this pause,

Many city hall officials are feeling nervous again.

"Tender for the intelligent electronic control system of the talent apartment in the Hi-Tech Park project." Kitahara's voice continued, "Companies participating in this project need to pay a bidding deposit of five million yen in advance to avoid subsequent breaches of contract in which the company withdraws or abandons the bid.

In the final round of bid evaluation, five companies were shortlisted, and one company won the bid.”

Kitahara spoke calmly like this.

The listeners did not hear for a moment that there was any collusion in bidding.

"Excuse me, where is the collusive bidding!!" Hamano said loudly, "I have read the information on this project. All procedures and documents are complete. The verification obligations that should be fulfilled have also been verified. The personnel of these clubs are also independent of each other.

There is no relationship whatsoever. There is no so-called concerted action relationship between the presidents. For such an innocent project, where is the evidence of collusive bidding?"

Kitahara slowly took out four pieces of A4 paper.

He looked unhurried and unhurried.

This posture does not seem to be in the middle of a fierce case trial, but like a teacher in the classroom, taking out his handouts before giving a lecture to stupid students.

He slowly showed page after page to everyone in the conference room.

Make sure everyone can see the details of these materials.

These four A4 pieces of paper are bank transfer vouchers.

It has the Mizuho Bank logo on it.

For a moment, everyone was confused. They didn't know what the young male lawyer wanted to say. What could these bank transfers express? How could they reflect collusive bidding?

The next second, the male lawyer was heard saying;

"It's strange, it's strange. Apparently four independent companies did not win the bid in the last round. Then, the deposits during the bidding should be returned to their respective accounts. Why, the materials I obtained here show that these four companies did not win the bid.

For companies that win bids, their deposits will be returned to the same bank account."

"Obviously they are four different companies, but why did they use the same account to collect the refunded deposit? Can you explain it to me?"

Kitahara deliberately asked a mischievous question.

The moment this question was raised——
Chapter completed!
