Chapter 81 The Planning Begins [First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]
On the other end of the phone, Shuichi Kuroda did not speak immediately.
But Kiryu Yaya knew that the other party was not hesitating, but pondering.
So he continued, "The problems of the Miyazawa Group, on the surface, seem like a complete mess, but if you really break them down, they are simply two pieces."
"Miyazawa tourism and Rokko golf course development."
He paused briefly at this point, as if giving the other person time to process it.
"Miyazawa Tourism is the core entity of the 8 billion yen credit line from Mitsubishi Bank. Minister Furuta had just arrived in Osaka at that time, and he couldn't just stand by and watch it go wrong."
He said "Minister Kouda" very naturally.
It seemed like it was just mentioned casually.
But in reality, this was the real test he was putting out tonight.
If Kuroda Shuichi and Kouyuhiko had no connection whatsoever, then to him, this statement would be nothing more than a routine banking assessment.
However, if the two people maintain contact, then when these words are spoken, the other party will leave a trace.
really.
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Then, Shuichi Kuroda finally spoke up: "Yes, I agree with that."
There were no follow-up questions, nor were there any comments.
This reaction is itself a reaction.
Kiryu Yaya's eyes darkened slightly, he already knew what was going on, but he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he followed the logic from before and continued to build up the story.
Kiryu Yaya continued, "Rokka is different."
"That was a ticking time bomb for Sumitomo Bank from the start. The reason it hasn't exploded yet is simply because Miyazawahara has been using funds from Miyazawa Tourism and the group's internal funds to keep it afloat."
"But from Mitsubishi Bank's perspective, it is absolutely impossible to just stand by and watch Miyazawa Kanko get dragged into this mess."
"As long as the judgment within the banking system moves in this direction, Rokka will become a problem asset that must be dealt with as soon as possible."
At this point, Kiryu Yaya paused slightly and lowered his voice.
"When that time comes, President Kuroda will naturally be able to intervene at the appropriate time."
""
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
The laughter was low, but it still revealed a hint of undisguised satisfaction.
Kuroda Shuichi said slowly, "Kiryu-kun, you are even more outstanding than I thought."
"I wouldn't call myself outstanding."
"7
Kiryu Yaya said calmly, "I just know very well that my most valuable asset right now is precisely my position at Mitsubishi Bank."
"If I leave here, my value to President Kuroda will immediately decrease by more than half."
"So, instead of switching jobs now, it's better for me to stay at Mitsubishi. Let's get things in order first, and then get the products to you."
There was a moment of silence on Kuroda Shuichi's end.
It's different from before.
This time, there was a clear hint of displeasure in the silence.
Because this wasn't the answer he initially wanted.
The night before last, he called Kiryu Yaya out and offered him an annual salary of 20 million yen. What he really wanted was to remove this young man directly from the Mitsubishi Bank system.
Pick them and keep them close at hand; that's the safest way.
But soon, as if realizing something, Kuroda Shuichi probed, "So, you plan to stay at Mitsubishi for the time being, and work from within the bank to help cut Rokko off from the Miyazawa Group, and then I will take over this land."
"right."
This time, Shuichi Kuroda remained silent for an even longer period.
Clearly, he was weighing his options.
Weighing Kiryu Yaya's words, we wondered whether he was genuinely pledging allegiance or had ulterior motives.
Logically speaking, this argument is almost flawless.
It's perfectly normal for a young person who has just joined the bank to be hesitant to switch jobs immediately after receiving an offer of a 20 million yen annual salary.
So it's quite normal for him to want to use this big case at hand as a way to present a respectable pledge of allegiance to his future boss.
Moreover, Rokko is the piece of land that Kuroda Shuichi most wants to take right now.
If Kiryu Yaya can truly pave the way for cutting Rokko within Mitsubishi Bank, then for Kuroda Shuichi, that would be far more valuable than someone who simply switched jobs.
And if this step goes smoothly...
Then Kiryu Yaya is no longer just a young man "worth digging into".
Rather, it is a nail that has the potential to be driven into the core of the Osaka branch.
He could very well be the next Kouyuta.
Thinking of this, Kuroda Shuichi's initial displeasure vanished almost instantly.
Compared to this possibility, the 20 million yen annual salary is not that important.
Finally, Shuichi Kuroda spoke again.
This time, his voice was filled with laughter again.
"it is good."
'
"Kiryu-kun, I accept what you say."
"You will remain at Mitsubishi Bank for the time being."
"As for Rokka—if you can really get this land to my table, that 20 million yen annual salary will definitely not be the end."
""
Kiryu Yaya smiled, but the smile was faint.
"With President Kuroda's words, I feel relieved."
Shuichi Kuroda was clearly in a good mood, and even his tone was a bit lighter.
"So from now on, we're considered to be in the same boat?"
Kiryu Yaya looked out the window, the heavy night pressing against the glass: "Of course."
On the other end of the phone, Shuichi Kuroda chuckled twice.
"Okay, very good."
"Kiryu-kun, I like you more and more."
"Since that's the case, there's no need for us to beat around the bush anymore. If you have any news, just call this number; it's my personal direct line."
"clear."
Then, Shuichi Kuroda said with satisfaction, "Very good."
"Then it's settled."
"I'll be waiting for your news after the Golden Week holiday."
"I won't disturb your rest tonight."
As he finished speaking, his tone softened, carrying a hint of gentle rebuke.
"Kiryu-kun—
"6
"Don't let me down."
No, it won't.
Kiryu Yaya said softly.
Goodnight, President Kuroda.
"Good night."
The phone hangs up.
The room fell silent again.
Only the clock on the wall remained, ticking slowly, one tick at a time.
Kiryu Yaya did not immediately put the receiver back.
He remained seated in the same position, eyes downcast, motionless for a long time.
A few seconds later, he gave a very faint laugh.
His plan had officially begun.
After the phone call ended, the room remained quiet for a long time.
Outside the window of the new apartment, the streets of Esaka are divided into sections by the night and scattered neon lights, with the occasional sound of motorcycles passing by in the distance.
Kiryu Yaya sat at the table and redrew the relationship diagram of the Miyazawa case by hand.
Keiko Miyazawa, Hara Miyazawa, Shuichi Kuroda, and Hiko Kouda are several lines intertwined like ropes.
The more you look at it, the more it resembles a net that is slowly closing in.
He stared at the paper for a long time before finally reaching for the lighter.
Flames shot up.
The draft, filled with names and arrows, curled at the edges in the firelight, then quickly turned black and shrank, finally turning into a small clump of ash that fell into the ashtray.
Kiryu Yaya carried the ashtray to the sink, rinsed it with water, then returned to the table and picked up the phone.
A few seconds later, the call was connected.
"————Feed?"
Keiko Miyazawa's voice was very soft, as if she had already finished washing up and was preparing to rest.
"it's me."
"Kiryu-kun?"
Her voice immediately became more clear-headed: "It's so late, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
'
"Don't panic, nothing bad will happen."
Kiryu Yaya calmed her down before saying, "I have some thoughts I'd like to discuss with you regarding the upcoming Mitsubishi Bank briefing."
"Okay, go ahead."
Keiko Miyazawa listened attentively.
"At the briefing, you must pay attention to these things —"
Kiryu Yaya, unhurriedly, laid out his second card.
