At night, the light rain that had been falling for the whole day had a tendency to grow bigger. Not only that, there was thunder and lightning rolling in the thick clouds. It seemed that the light rain was about to turn into a thunderstorm.
In the spacious hall, there was a desk lamp on the tea table. The lights were very bright. Miyashita Kita sat under the lights, looking through the files one by one.
All of these files come from the Postal Savings Bank. As for the information of Changxin Bank, he has read it. At the same time, compared with the information of Changxin Bank, some of the inside information of Postal Savings Bank are even more amazing.
Japan's Postal Savings Bank was established very early, and its history can be traced back to more than a century ago in 1871. It is one of the three major businesses under the Japanese Post Commune. It is also a standard state-owned bank.
Before 1985, the Postal Savings Bank was completely owned by the Postal Province, and its business volume was not large, and it belonged to a very inconspicuous small bank.
However, after 1985, Dazang Province participated and became a big dealer behind the Postal Savings Bank. In the following years, Dazang Province moved the annuity fund, pension funds, and the financial accounting business of the provincial department to the business scope of this bank.
At the same time, the Ministry of Funding Application of the Datura Province has launched a so-called financial investment and financing plan through the Postal Savings Bank, which directly withdraws funds through the bank's fund reserves to carry out various types of investment and financing, of course, mainly in real estate.
This plan allowed the province of Taoism to directly bypass the supervision and approval of the parliament, and had its own small treasury. Therefore, this plan became the second budget of Taoism, that is, the shadow budget that is not controlled by any department.
With the implementation of this plan, more and more stakeholders began to intervene. In the first few years, this plan did help Dazang save a lot of money. Unfortunately, the bursting of the bubble economy broke this good situation. The emergence of a large number of bad debts made the postal savings bank funds almost exhausted, and no one could get the money.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If you are used to living a luxurious life, who can be willing to live a life of scatteredness?
Aren’t Postal Savings Banks exhausted?
It doesn't matter, the Ministry of Taoism is in charge of the entire Japanese finance, and they say whatever they say
Therefore, two years ago, the province of Tripitaka issued a policy to reduce taxes from the Postal Savings Bank and provide subsidies for its insurance business.
Without the pressure of taxation, the Postal Savings Bank immediately raised its deposit interest rate, which is the highest among all Japanese banks.
High interest rates have attracted a large amount of savings deposits for the Postal Savings Bank, which has also caused the bank's scale to expand rapidly. So far, the bank has invested nearly 40 trillion yen in the so-called fiscal investment and financing plan.
Nowadays, the main investment direction of the fiscal investment and financing plan is Japan's government bonds. The province of Dazo Province issues treasury bonds with its left hand and buys them with its right hand, so that in the case of economic downturn, Japan still has no worries about the buyer of treasury bonds, because the biggest buyer is himself.
In addition to purchasing government bonds, there are two main beneficiaries of fiscal investment and financing plans, one is the road group and the other is the state-owned railway company.
According to the information seen by Kita Miyashita, so far, the operating capital of the road group has been 4.5 trillion yen, but its total debt has reached 15 trillion yen, and the operating capital of the state-owned railway company is 5.40 million yen, and the total debt is 21 trillion yen.
In other words, these two state-owned enterprises have actually been insolvent long ago.
The state-owned railway company has all the railway trunk lines in Japan. It is amazing that it can operate to this extent.
Of course, what is even more surprising is the road group. This company has all toll roads, highways and service areas along the expressway in Japan. With such high-quality resources, it actually lost so much
How do you pay for this money?
Of course, there will be no such information provided by Akamoto, but the time traveling Miyashita Kita is very clear that all this originates from a very special existence in the Japanese political and economic system: a special legal person
The definition of a special legal person in the Youfeige Economic Dictionary is: a legal person established based on special laws due to the needs of public interests or national policies.
In fact, it is some state-owned enterprises and institutions established under the name of state organs
These institutions made important contributions to the rise of Japan's economy for a long time after the war in Japan. However, after the 1960s and 1970s, they became mud ponds that nourished corruption.
These enterprises obtain funding from the national finances and operate. Most of their leadership positions are held by provincial departments and local chief executives after retirement. They receive extremely high salaries, but they regard these institutions as places for retirement.
In the past life, when Miyashita Kita participated in the scandal investigation of the Tripitaka Province, he checked the archives of the Road Initiative. The information at that time showed that there were several special legal persons under the Road Initiative, such as: East Japan Expressway Co., Ltd., Nakano Expressway Co., Ltd., West Japan Expressway Co., Ltd., Capital Expressway Co., Ltd., Hanshin Expressway Co., Ltd., Expressway Facilities Association, etc.
Among them, the Expressway Road Facilities Association is a real estate leasing department. It controls a large number of highway service areas, parking lots, monopoly telephone services, broadcasting stations in the expressway, high-rise billboards on both sides of the expressway, etc.
The Expressway Facilities Association subcontracted these profitable facilities and real estate to 103 operating companies under its jurisdiction, and these operating companies are private. Most of their owners are retired bureaucrats from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, Tripitaka, and Road Group.
The annual turnover of these 103 operating companies exceeds 550 billion yen, but the annual turnover of these 103 operating companies is less than 75 billion yen, while the annual profit of the expressway and road facilities association is only 7 billion yen per year.
In his previous life, these scandals emerged in the spring of 2000 with the exposure of the scandal in the province of Tripitaka. The then Japanese Prime Minister Eizo Koburi once ordered an investigation, but just one month later, Eizo Koburi fell ill after falling asleep and died in office. The investigation also came to an abrupt end and there was no follow-up.
Later, Mori Yoshiro came to power and the investigation started again, but during the service of this big-mouthed prime minister, scandals continued, and the investigation did not make any progress.
Until later Junichiro Koizumi came to power, he stopped all investigations and directly implemented the postal privatization reform. During his tenure, he went to China and fought against North Korea. This investigation was completely devastated.
As a time traveler, a person with a knowledge of his previous life, Miyashita Kita knew very well how deep this mud pit was. It was really unfathomable. Those who were caught in the previous life, including Akamoto, were just victims who were pushed to the front desk. That is, Akamoto was already dead at that time. If he didn't die, he probably wouldn't have been pushed out.
The interest groups wrapped in this scandal are so big. No matter who they try to overturn them and expose them to the sun, they dare to jump over the wall and bit the guy who lifted the quilt to death.
In his previous life, when he learned some of the inside stories, the first feeling of Miyashita Kita was shocked, and the second feeling was that he secretly advised himself to stay away from this mud. Of course, more often, he still treated these things as topics after dinner.
As for now, Kita Kita's idea has completely changed. He feels that he should go deeper and get closer, and should participate more in it as a part of the case.
Of course, as a person without any background, Kita Kitaya also knows that if he can't climb up or there is a problem in the future, then the person who is waiting for him may be sacrificed as an abandoned child. He may be killed by suicide like Kasuke Sanada in his previous life, or he may be like more victims, and he will need to stay in prison until death.
But the question is, so what? Even if you can't climb up and be sacrificed as an abandoned child in the future, will this deal really be a loss for spending half of your life in exchange for the beauty of ten years?
There is such a crossroads in front of me. Going to the left, I will be such a small leader of a gangster for the rest of my life, not as good as the top, and the life of a superior person, the luxury of a piece of paper and gold, and the countless beauties of money, have nothing to do with me. The only thing I can do is to run around and be busy, be full of eyes, but can only meet the lowest-level life needs
Maybe twenty years later, or maybe thirty years later, if you are lucky, it may be fifty years later, you will end your life in some dirty and dilapidated nursing home. When you close your eyes, what you regret may not be what you did in this life, but what you did not do in this life.
Going to the right, you will face another kind of life. This life may be more dangerous and more dangerous, but at the same time, you can control the fate of more people. Many people will fall into hell with their sneer, and many people will reach the peak of their lives with their smiles.
If you are not lucky, you will probably have to live a ten-year life of extravagance. In these ten years, money, beauty, mansion, and luxury cars are not considered my pursuit. My life will be something that many people dare not imagine in their dreams.
If you are lucky, it may be thirty or fifty years later that you will close your eyes in a mansion, and before you take your last breath, countless people will be surrounded by you...
These are two completely different choices, and they are also two completely different lives. If any ordinary person had the opportunity to choose, where would he go?
In the spacious hall, there was a desk lamp on the tea table. The lights were very bright. Miyashita Kita sat under the lights, looking through the files one by one.
