Chapter 869 – Seizure Button
Things progress quickly.
Snap!
Snap! Snap!
Numerous reporters.
Busy pressing the camera shutter.
A large scoop exploded.
It’s a sight I can’t believe even when I see it.
“How do you feel?”
“Do you admit your mistake?”
“Please say something!”
Because it is unfolding.
Lee Chan-wook.
He is a globally recognized CEO.
It is also famous in Japan.
I run numerous businesses.
“The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that CEO Lee Chan-wook is suspected of violating the Financial Instruments and Transactions Act and special breach of trust! Please say a word to the disappointed people!”
I was caught up in huge criminal charges.
No, it is judged to be certain.
Redemption.
It can be executed because the prosecution has the evidence.
‘I couldn’t confirm it.’
‘I don’t know, arrest me first.’
‘I don’t want to make eye contact with reporters.’
In general, that is.
If you arrest anyone, it becomes a problem.
It makes that problem disappear.
There is a way to do that.
“Representative Lee Chan-wook’s arrest has been completed, and he has now been delivered to the detention center.”
“Good job.”
“The problem is… There is no problem, right?”
A rookie prosecutor asks an insensitive question.
The chief prosecutor grins.
‘I don’t know!’
There is just room.
I haven’t done this in just one or two days.
Notice from above.
There is a ‘must’ arrest and investigation into ××.
“You worked hard, just relax. As you work, you will gradually learn.”
The Prosecutor General issued the order directly.
It is to realize the meaning.
‘Right now, high-ranking people are trying hard to get Lee Chan-wook involved. We just have to move in line with that.’
Do it even if there is no evidence.
First, grab it and take a look.
It is a common phenomenon in Japanese society.
—————————–±
『Sontaku』
1. Politicians’ will
2. Pressure from those in power
3. Orders from practitioners
4. Cooperation among stakeholders
5. Execution by police, prosecutors, etc.
±——————————————–
This is possible because of Japan’s unique practices.
It is called Sontaku (そんたく).
Act by considering the wishes of your superiors.
Even if it is not right, we follow it blindly.
“Hi! Hi! Then I understand… Oh, you don’t have to worry. I’ll assume what I knew.”
Create evidence.
Manipulating the current situation.
And then put the front and back situations together.
Of course, this cannot happen.
If you get caught, it could turn into a big problem.
“They say Lee Chan-wook has been arrested! The court will probably accept the evidence presented by the prosecution.”
That’s not what I ordered.
It is to follow carefully.
Therefore, there is no problem.
‘Keuhum. I don’t know.’
Senior Liberal Democratic Party member Kyogoku Nobunaga gazes into the distance.
As if he wasn’t interested.
I know the truth.
I gave the order through my aids.
Let the subordinates do what they want.
“That happened.”
“Yes, something like that happened. I think you should know.”
“I have now received the report.”
It is Japan’s political structure.
The problem is handled without a single risk.
A thorn in my eye.
You can pull it out if you want.
I don’t care about the law or public opinion.
“A report will also be sent to the Prime Minister. He was concerned about Lee Chan-wook and all running around, so I’m sure he will be satisfied.”
This is the secret to maintaining vested interests.
With this much power, there is nothing you can’t do.
We unite around them.
This is why Japanese society cannot change even if it wants to.
“Well, Senator, we’re in big trouble!”
“They say Lee Chan-wook escaped from prison?”
“Congressman, you have a great sense of comedy.”
“It’s not Lee Chan-wook, it’s Japanese citizens escaping.”
“…”
Escape from the Planet of the Apes was beginning.
* * *
Japanese.
Extremely conservative.
I hate change to an obsessive level.
It gets worse as you get older.
It’s the reason I went through 30 lost years.
Buzz, buzz!
The wind of change is blowing.
The front of the bank is crowded for the first time in decades.
“What brought you here? Hehe.”
Masahiro, the bank president, smiles brightly.
It is a huge problem in Japanese society.
Elderly people.
I don’t spend any money.
Up to that point, it can be said to be personal freedom.
“I brought money…”
“Money? Oh, my! What can I do for you? Is it safe? Or should I give you a bigger deal?”
The problem is that it is not used ‘at all’.
I don’t leave it to the bank and keep it.
‘Make a deposit at least. You senile old man!’
It is called a closet deposit.
It is just kept in the house like a shrine.
The amount of money tied up like that is astronomical.
There is no money flowing into the Japanese economy.
“I want you to leave this to me. However, this old man has a favor to ask…”
It is the same phenomenon as arteriosclerosis.
Those 30 years of hard work are lost.
‘Finally!’
You have to escape.
It must change.
The Japanese government implemented several policies.
One of them is ‘Abenomics.’
I will lower the value of the yen and burn my closet savings.
The effect may be appearing.
I just thought Masahiro was like that.
“Just tell us anything! We will definitely accommodate it.”
“Then exchange this money for something called a dollar.”
“Hi?”
I hear an unexpected answer.
I can’t help but be dumbfounded.
That’s right.
‘The old man makes a difficult sound like a dollar.’
I hate change.
I don’t know how the world works.
All I can do is watch the news on TV.
They are asking for currency exchange.
It’s not like hundreds of dollars that you might spend on a trip.
Percussion!
It must have been kept in a closet.
A bundle of money worth tens of millions of yen appears.
“All of this?”
“Okay.”
“Well, if you need dollars, you can change them at any time, but why bother…”
The appearance is insignificant.
His behavior is also shabby.
However, he is a very wealthy person who lived through the bubble era.
Gulp!
This is why the bank president personally responds.
Customers who can be called such VIPs.
“Please leave it to me in dollars too!”
“I want to take it in cash…”
“”Me too! Me too!””
Dozens of people stood in line.
These are people who normally wouldn’t come even if I called them.
‘Dae, what on earth is going on…’
Individuals owned tens to hundreds of millions of yen.
There are billions of yen worth of money here.
Convert it all to dollars.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a situation equivalent to a bank run.
“Can I ask why… Why are you trying to change it? If it’s not rude.”
We need to know the cause.
Masahiro’s smile has disappeared, and he is sweating profusely.
‘It’s because I don’t trust you guys.’
‘Are they trying to take our money again?’
‘These bad bank guys.’
Elderly people.
I didn’t make a closet deposit from the beginning.
In the past, it was usually left to the bank.
It shouldn’t be like that.
One incident completely changed the mindset of the Japanese people.
─The reason why Japanese people do not leave their money in banks. Txt
After defeat in World War II
The Japanese government came up with an incredible idea
‘Deposit blockade’
The debt is repaid with the Japanese people’s money
Japanese people experience the miracle of turning their life savings into just a few months’ worth of salary.
From then on, I stopped trusting the country
Have it in cash
└Japanese people in their 40s and older still don’t make deposits
└PTSD is worth it
└Isn’t it 80 years ago?
└After the Russo-Japanese War, what was done to deteriorate finances was to block deposits. In other words, it’s not the first time haha
The government is stealing the people’s money!
Even today, in the 21st century, it remains a trauma.
It might happen again.
This is because such anxiety has become overwhelming.
“S-No way! How could something like that happen? In this day and age…”
“Then what is this video?”
“Hi?”
I was already feeling strong.
The value of the yen continues to fall.
The reason.
It couldn’t be a coincidence.
There may be a huge conspiracy going on.
〈The value of the yen has been falling over the past 10 years. And recently it has been plummeting. Do you really think this is a coincidence?〉
I believe it.
Why?
This is what the Japanese government has done at every moment of crisis.
There is no guarantee that it won’t happen again.
No, I’m sure it will happen.
“Calm down! It’s just a conspiracy theory spouted by a Korean, right?”
“What, Korean?”
“Are we discriminating now?”
“So what I’m saying is… How much would a foreigner who is not from our country know?”
This is the older generation in Japan.
Of course there were doubts.
Conservative thoughts are not easily changed.
‘Then why were you arrested?’
‘The purpose is clear to anyone.’
‘No matter what, you can never trust the government.’
It provided the opportunity.
The arrest investigation of Lee Chan-wook is suspicious to anyone.
Lee Chan-wook and the nation.
One side is lying.
If you have to choose one of the two.
“Lee Chan-wook doesn’t lie.”
“Everything he said was true.”
“Just change it to dollars right now. Hurry up!”
At least they don’t choose the Japanese government.
Trauma is deeply rooted.
Elderly people.
I had pressed their seizure button that had been dormant for decades.
‘…’
Masahiro, the bank president, breaks out in a cold sweat.
It is not something you can solve on your own.
Even when you are worried, they come in droves.
Rich people in the Japanese archipelago are trying to sell yen.
〈 Since you don’t use the yen, they are trying to turn it into a piece of paper. The Japanese government came up with another way to extort money from the people.〉
The time bomb planted by Lee Chan-wook is activated.
