The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property - Chapter 590

c566 historical trajectory

“Kitahara, you won’t object, right?”

The old god Kenji Owada is here with his legs crossed. He is almost 50 years old this year and he can’t wait any longer. Kitahara Sosuke’s intention is very obvious. He hopes to be parachuted in and Nakano Watanabe, who has more work experience and ability, will take over as Shirakawa Takashi. The position of president will be held by the younger Akatsuki Yamada in ten years’ time.

At that time, Kenji Yamada was already sixty years old. In terms of age and mental strength, he was not suitable to compete with his adopted brother Yamato Akatsuki.

Do I have to be a second-middle child for the rest of my life?

When he was just the branch manager of the Osaka Branch, he was ambitious and aware of his limited abilities. His goals were always limited to the board of directors. As long as he could join the board of directors, he would have fulfilled his wish.

Now, with the help of Kitahara Sosuke, he has jumped several levels and even replaced Ken Gennai, the leader of the progressive faction, and became the third-in-command under the president and vice president, a special agent!

But people’s ambitions will expand and will never be satisfied.

After understanding Kitahara Sosuke’s intentions, Owada Kenji gradually fell in love with Shirakawa Takashi.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to defect in Kitahara Sosuke’s camp, so on the surface, he still strongly supports Kitahara Sosuke, believing that he can defeat Takeshita Noboru and achieve greater glory, so the result will inevitably be Shirakawa Takashi’s retirement and a new person. Ascend.

But whoever goes up there can secretly operate it.

Kitahara Sosuke looked at him with a half-smile, not surprised by Owada Kenji’s betrayal and betrayal.

Power always makes people feel lost and lose their basic judgment.

He excluded Owada Kenji from the selection of the president, which was also based on reasonable considerations of Dongsan and future development. Kitahara Sosuke’s original idea was to use this matter to test the old man for the last time.

After all, he is a comrade who has followed him all the way from the Osaka period to the present. There is no credit but hard work. Especially when he was targeted by Shirakawa Takashi’s group, he saved important figures such as Kobayashi Kyoko. Kitahara Sosuke kept this in mind.

Very grateful.

If Owada Kenji can endure the disappointment of not being promoted and suppress his ambition, then after the merger of Tosan and Nippon Federation, Kitahara Sosuke will transfer him to the more core Kitahara Bank to serve as a director on the board of directors.

In his future territory, the most important Bank of Tokyo UFJ of the Mitsubishi Consortium will become a major boost and buffer zone for Kitahara Bank, paving the way for it to compete for the top spot in finance.

It’s just that most of Tosan’s directors and shareholders are senior executives of various families in the Mitsubishi Consortium. He, Kitahara Sosuke, cannot influence the will of these people in any case. If he wants to eat up Tokyo UFJ Bank, it means eating. Lost half the Mitsubishi Group.

Not possible at the moment.

The future also depends on opportunities.

If you can join Kitahara Bank as a director in the post-bubble economy burst period, your future will be not much worse than that of Tokyo UFJ.

There is still more room for development.

With Owada Kenji’s skill, ability and qualifications, it would be no problem for him to eventually retire as a general manager or even a full-time executive at Kitahara Bank. He could also develop his own faction at Kitahara Bank and install his own people.

This was the invisible benefit prepared by Kitahara Sosuke for him.

What a pity, what a pity.

At the last moment, he still lost himself.

Kitahara Sosuke was neither sad nor panicked. There was only regret and lamentation in his eyes, which made the originally complacent Kenji Owada feel a little uneasy.

Whenever Kitahara Sosuke shows this expression, someone is in trouble.

Could he still be sabotaging his journey to the top?

“Of course I don’t have any objections.” Kitahara Sosuke shook his head, “The election of the president of Tosan is based on the vote of the board of directors. With so many seats, the number of people I can control does not exceed five including myself. The head office The candidate for the position will not change based on my will.”

His initial idea was to ask the Owada brothers to give in. In the end, the only suitable candidate to succeed this position was Nakano Watari Ken. Even if the people of the Mitsubishi Consortium wanted to contain Kitahara Sosuke, they had to consider the future development of Tosan. It was impossible to support a person with complete abilities. Incompetent trash comes to power.

What’s more, Nakano Wataru Ken, who was transferred from outside, is not a member of the Kitahara Consortium in name. He is neutral and has his own power and group. At most, he can only be said to be close to Kitahara Sosuke, which is also within the acceptance range of the Mitsubishi Consortium.

Kitahara Sosuke had already thought about all this.

But if Kenji Owada and Akatsuki Owada don’t act according to his will, there will be some trouble.

It seems that I can’t wait any longer.

After Kitahara Sosuke finished speaking, Owada Kenji’s heart finally settled.

That’s right, he and Shirakawa Takashi had already arranged the members of the board of directors, and the position of president was already within their grasp. No matter how powerful Kitahara Sosuke was, he couldn’t possibly influence the will of so many people.

Otherwise, why would he be supporting other people? So what if he takes the position directly!

Just change the banking law and that’s it.

“Akatsuki, what did you say?” Kitahara Sosuke looked at Yamada Akatsuki who had been silent.

Owada Xiao quickly stood up and bowed: “President Kitahara’s will is my will.”

“Okay, I understand.” Kithara Sosuke nodded with satisfaction and looked at Nakano Watanabe.

Nakano Watanabe smiled faintly: “When President Kitahara invited me to come, I made my attitude clear. You will make the decision on these matters, and I will try my best to handle them.”

Having no power in the banking bureau, he could see the end at a glance, but after leaving the Financial Services Agency, he saw new hope.

Moreover, Nakano Wataruken’s vision is much more profound than Owada Kenji’s.

The latter only saw the temptation of the position of Dongsan President, but ignored the most important thing.

What really matters is Kitahara Sosuke, everything else is empty.

If you are a friend with him, you will have everything; if you are an enemy with him, you will not die well.

Three people faced off against two people.

The atmosphere was anxious and full of gunpowder smoke.

Finally, Kitahara Sosuke clapped his hands: “That’s it. Congratulations to Mr. Owada for being promoted to President. I won’t be attending the ceremony. Goodbye, President Shirakawa.”

Kitahara Sosuke stood up with a smile and left the office with Yamada Akira and Nakano Watanabe.

Looking at their leaving figures, Kenji Owada breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he had regained a victory, right?

He looked at the silent Shirakawa Takashi. The latter didn’t know why, his face was gloomy, and he had no joy of victory at all.

The last high ground of Dongcheng has been saved, why are you not happy?

“Shirakawa, don’t worry. After I take over, I will help you retain at least 30% of your people.” Owada Kenji waved his hand, “After all, you have done a lot this time.”

Looking at Owada Kenji who was a little bit conceited, Shirakawa Takashi suddenly felt that he had not made the best decision in this last arm wrestling match.

After reminiscing with the familiar staff upstairs and downstairs, Kitahara Sosuke and the three of them got into the car without stopping, leaving Kyoto and heading to Tokyo to participate in today’s prime minister election speech meeting.

Akatsuki Owada chattered endlessly in the car, angrily scolding his sworn brother for being irrational. He didn’t get any news. It seemed that he had the surname of Owada and was not really accepted by the family.

“By the way, President Kitahara, are you free on the fifth of next month? I’m getting married. The wedding will be held at the Tokyo Hotel. I hope to invite you to be a witness.” Akatsuki Yamada asked with a smile.

“Oh? Of course I’m free, why haven’t I heard you talk about it?” Kitahara Sosuke smiled and nodded.

“Haha, she is the executive director of the Lafayette Club. I met her on a business trip and her name is Tanahashi Takako. I thought I don’t need to bother you with these little things.” Yamada Xiao said with a smile.

Kithara Sosuke nodded slightly. He knew that Lafayette Club was in the cosmetics business.

“About the president,” Xiao Yamada asked tentatively.

“Akatsuki, I have decided to let you stay in Tosan as the vice president. Nakano Watanabe-san, go to UFJ Bank.”

Kitahara Sosuke breathed out.

History has returned to its original trajectory.
