Chapter 96 Kitahara and Hanzawa: Confrontation!
"So, what is the on-site inspection of the Finance Department today?" Hanzawa said.
In the office hall of the headquarters, the second department headed by Hanzawa stood opposite to the people from the financial halls such as Kurosaki and Kitahara. The tense atmosphere in the office hall seemed to be filled with. In other parts of the hall, there were often shouts from the inspectors of the financial hall asking for the printer to be brought in quickly.
"Before, we received your regulatory letter about the Yoshizawa Trust project. However, there should be some time before the time limit for submitting the documents. What information are you here today to collect," Hanzawa continued.
Hanze’s idea was to first draw out what materials are needed for today’s Financial Hall.
In this way, the focus of the Financial Department's investigation can be initially determined.
Then, respond according to the intended investigation focus.
Kitahara took out a form, "Please prepare according to the information above."
Hanzawa took this information form.
He glanced at it.
Although there are many listed on the form, they are all basic information.
For example, project introduction documents.
Yoshizawa Trust's company introduction archive.
List of people participating in the trust project, etc.
For these basic information, conduct on-site inspections with great fanfare?!
At this time, Hanze didn't know that the key to this information form was the list of people participating in the trust project by the bank. The real purpose of this trip to the Financial Department was to immediately start a conversation with the bank staff after getting the list and catch them off guard.
"What if we can't prepare today, after all, time is really rushing." Hanzawa looked at Kitanhara.
"Then we will continue to stay until you provide it." Kitahara said.
The young male lawyer spoke extremely tough words in a plain tone.
At this time, more than half of the counters in the head office's business department stopped service.
Many personnel were temporarily transferred to deal with on-site inspections by the Finance Department.
The normal operations of banks have been greatly affected.
You know, this is the head office.
The customers they receive are all large enterprises.
The longer the on-site inspection of the Financial Department is delayed, the greater the negative impact.
"We can only do our best." Hanze knew that at this time, we could not confront the Finance Department head-on. Then, Hanze planned to leave the office hall and discuss with the people from the Second Department of Business how to deal with the information list provided by the Finance Department.
However, in the next second—
Kitahara's voice sounded:
“By the way.”
"What?" Hanzawa turned around.
"From the beginning, we didn't say that today we came just for the Yoshizawa Trust project." Kitahara smiled.
The lawyer brought out a form again:
"In addition to the Yoshizawa Trust project issue, we suspect that the Tokyo Central Bank has the following eight major problems in its business. They are—"
“Loan risk classification is inaccurate.”
"The loan is entrusted to pay and has not been approved according to the review conditions."
"Off-site data reporting is inaccurate."
“Insufficient auditors.”
"Unified credit management does not meet the requirements."
“Affiliated loan management is not in compliance.”
"M&A loan 'three checks' is negligent."
"The conditions for credit approval have not been strictly implemented."
"For the above issues, the Finance Department has taken sample inspections from your bank and selected 120 loan projects for verification."
After hearing this, Hanzawa was stunned. The lawyer in front of him actually raised the eight major compliance issues of the so-called Tokyo Central Bank and also asked to withdraw 120 loan projects for inspection.
This is an unprecedented inspection force!
This is a lot of work!
Hanze took a deep breath.
He really wanted to refute the male lawyer in front of him.
However, it is time for the Financial Department to take the upper hand.
Hanze knew that there was no room for bargaining with the other party yet, so he could only nod, then turned around and began to explain his work.
...
...
...
"What should I do! Deputy Chief Hanzawa!" a subordinate asked anxiously.
The staff of the second department of the business department where Hanzawa is located, all of them crowded in a remote office and asked the deputy director for help in dealing with the inspection methods of the Finance Department.
"Now they actually ask for so many items to be inspected at one time! It's simply!"
"They are here to find fault."
"These suspicions of the Finance Department are not genuinely proven."
In the office, my subordinates said one by one, one by one.
At this time, Hanzawa also fell into deep thought.
What is the intention of the Financial Hall to come here today?
Hanzawa said, "They asked to withdraw 120 loan projects from us, which should be just to disperse our manpower. Their focus is probably on Yoshizawa Trust."
This is Hanze’s judgment.
Then, the deputy director of the second department of the business took up the list of information for Yoshizawa Trust given by Kitahara.
There are some ordinary information above.
What exactly is the documentary evidence materials the Finance Department wants?!
Hanze can't figure it out at all.
At this time, outside the office, many bank personnel were being called around by prosecutors in the Finance Department, and if there were any unsatisfactory aspects, they would be scolded.
The chaos outside has further aggravated the pressure in the office.
Hanzawa shook his head again.
He felt that if he continued to think so, he would be a dead end in the maze.
This Financial Department investigation is very different from the past.
That is the participation of this Kitahara lawyer.
Hanzawa felt that this Kitano lawyer had brought extremely huge variables to this Financial Department inspection.
We must never respond according to the previous ideas.
Hanzawa looked at the information list again.
Suddenly a bold idea popped up in my mind.
What if the goal of the Finance Department this time is not documentary evidence materials, but people!
One of the items required in the information list is the list of bank participants of Yoshizawa Trust. Is it possible that after the Financial Department got the list, they asked these people on the spot?!
If that's the case, that's bad!
Thinking of this possibility, Hanze couldn't help but feel cold sweat.
The third group of the second division of Yoshizawa Trust is in charge of the second division.
There were six participants, namely: Oshima Kiji, Yasuki Shinsun, Mihashihashi Hatsuki, Kimijima Yuichi, Ota Shuko, and Uchimura Natsumi.
I am the general manager of this project.
According to the regulatory agencies' ideas, they usually break through the people below first, and then finally break through themselves.
Hanzawa immediately stood up, glanced out a few times from the glass at the office door.
"What's wrong? Deputy Chief Hanzawa." A subordinate asked.
"How many conference rooms did they want in total today?"
"Seven rooms."
Hanzawa calculated. One of the seven conference rooms was left for the Finance Hall itself, and the remaining six were used for on-site interrogation of the six people, Oshima, Yasakawa, Sanhashima, Kimijima, Ota and Uchimura.
It's just right!
The number of conference rooms used by the Financial Hall further proves his judgment.
Hanzawa immediately said: "Odao, Yaskawa, Sanbashi, Mudao, Ota, Uchimura, you six are staying! I have something to say to you. Everyone else will go out first."
Later, Hanzawa gave detailed guidance on how these six people should respond to possible conversations in the Finance Department.
When these six subordinates first heard that they might be questioned by the Finance Department today, they showed a surprised expression and could not believe it. They were still wondering if Hanzawa was overly worried.
However, looking at Hanze's extremely serious expression, they had to listen carefully.
Hanze's nerves are already very nervous.
If the Financial Department successfully breaks through the bank employees today, the war will be directly over and there is no room for salvation.
Hanzawa talked and gave instructions one by one, telling them how to ask questions in the financial department, how to prevent traps in the questions, what questions should be answered positively, and what questions cannot be answered. Under what circumstances can they be truthfully stated, and under what circumstances, they must insist that they do not know.
Time is very tight.
However, Hanzawa even conducted a one-on-one mock interview with the six employees.
All this is done just to be foolproof.
Soon, the bank's business hours were over.
At about six o'clock in the evening, the Financial Department asked for basic information about Yoshizawa Trust and the list of people participating in the project were prepared.
Hanze held the materials in his hand, took a deep breath, and came to the office hall, standing in front of the lawyer Kitahara.
"This is the information of Yoshizawa Trust, please check it."
At this time, there were six people in the second department of the business department, including Yasakawa, Sanhashima, Kimijima, Ota, and Uchimura, and a total of six people, and they were also standing nearby with Hanzawa. The employees were also nervous and were ready to be called by the Finance Department for questioning.
All the people from the bank are on guard.
Kitahara took over the information from Hanzawa and began to flip.
After dozens of seconds, the lawyer then turned to the page of the personnel list.
Then, he stopped.
At the moment of stopping, the hearts of the bankers present were almost leaping into their throats.
Especially Oshima, Yaskawa, Sanbashi, Mushima, Ota, Uchimura, some of them sweating with nervousness, while some of their hands were already trembling.
Kitahara took this list and looked at Hanzawa:
"Are these people from your business department 2?"
"Yes. They are in the third group of the second and six people participated in this trust project."
"How many people are there in the third group."
"Eleven people."
At this time, Hanze was absolutely sure to judge that the Finance Department was planning to question the people on the list. The strategy for this surprise question must have been suggested by the Beiyuan lawyer to the Finance Department. The Beiyuan lawyer's method of acting really has a ruthless style, which is completely incompatible with his young appearance.
Fortunately, I used the daytime to conduct a conversation training for six people participating in the Yoshizawa Trust project.
Otherwise, if you were caught by the Finance Department today, it would be over.
The next second, I heard Kitahara's voice ringing:
Chapter completed!
