The hour hand points to three o'clock, Eto Law Firm.

There are two men in suits sitting on the sofa in the office. They both wear nameplates with a white background and the letters "MIZUHO" engraved on them. The "U" and "H" are almost connected together.

It looks like "LH". Below the dark blue letters, a line of red supports these letters. This is the unique logo of Mizuho Bank.

One of the men looked about thirty-five years old, with an unruly expression on his face, as if coming to this small law firm was condescending to his status. His expression was a little impatient, and his eyes

He kept looking back and forth at the law firm, seeming to be quietly extracting all possible useful information.

This somewhat unruly man is Shimada, the vice president of Mizuho Shinjuku Branch. Shimada himself graduated from the Economics Department of a third-rate university in Toyo Island. Within the Mizuho Bank system that attracts the top financial graduates in Toyo, he was originally just a banker.

An inconspicuous existence. However, by chance, he was promoted to the position of account manager, responsible for corporate business.

As soon as he took up the position of account manager, Shimada successfully completed several large-amount loan projects. In particular, several companies that issued loans later grew into listed companies, bringing a steady stream of business to the bank. Shimada's ability immediately attracted senior management

Due to his appreciation, at the age of thirty-five, he was further promoted to the vice president of the Shinjuku District branch.

Next to Shimada is his deputy. The deputy's aura is obviously not that strong, so much so that he has to observe Shimada's expression next to him to see how he will act next.

"I don't think you need to pretend to be stupid." Shimada said to the young male lawyer in front of him, "What you mean is that you have worked in this law firm for three years and took over director Eto's partnership share. However, you have not

He had no knowledge of the damage to our bank's debt documents. Do you think you would believe this if you said it?"

Beiyuan spread his hands, skillfully controlled his facial muscles, and put on a harmless and innocent expression, "It is true that I have no knowledge of this incident."

"I've seen this trick a lot." Shimada was unmoved, "Do you think you can defraud the bank by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid?! Do you really think we are freeloaders?!"

"You have to let me see the relevant documents." Kitahara said, "Director Eto has run away, and I can't find any information related to this matter. Now, a bank pops up out of thin air and says, what did the law firm do to you?

The debt documents are lost and I have to pay compensation. You must show me the documents related to this matter."

"Do you think our Mizuho Bank is so boring that we would defraud you?" Shimada frowned, as if he felt helpless about the guy in front of him, and then winked at the deputy beside him.

The deputy immediately took out a stack of papers from the briefcase, but saw that each of these papers had been sealed with plastic sheets. In an instant, the small table in front of the sofa was covered with these papers sealed with plastic sheets.

.

"Just put it on the table like this. You can't touch it with your hands. I'm afraid you will take the opportunity to tear it off!" Shimada said coldly.

"Don't worry." Kitahara said with a slight smile, not caring about Shimada's sarcasm, "Wait a minute when I tell you which page to turn, and I'll ask this deputy to turn it over."

But I saw that these papers were all about a letter of credit project.

【letter of credit】

[The so-called letter of credit can be roughly understood as a type of payment instruction. That is, you have to pay for something, but the seller cannot trust you to pay. So you have to ask a bank with deep pockets to advance the money for you, so that the seller can rest assured.

Send the goods to you. A letter of credit is a certificate that the seller can take to the bank and let the bank advance the payment for you.】

[Of course, banks are not crazy. They will not advance money for you for free. They will charge a certain percentage of fees from issuing a letter of credit and require you to provide sufficient guarantee. 】

A piece of paper on the desktop reads, "Letter of credit item No. A9807. Issuer: Dongshan Import and Export Agency; Issuing bank: Mizuho Industrial Bank Shinjuku Branch."

Beihara's eyes scanned these materials carefully, and he held his cheek with his right hand, reading with unprecedented concentration.

The project itself is very simple. An import and export company named Dongshan requires Mizuho Bank to issue a letter of credit for it.

In short, Higashiyama Club wants Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Branch to help it pay for imported goods. The import amount is 500 million yen, and the bank needs to open a letter of credit of 500 million yen. To this end,

Higashiyama Corporation must provide a corresponding guarantee to Mizuho Bank, and the value of this guarantee must also reach 500 million yen.

According to the information on the desktop, Higashiyama Co., Ltd. pledged 290 tons of copper materials stored in its warehouse at Wakasu Terminal in Tokyo Bay to Mizuho Bank in exchange for the bank issuing a letter of credit.

Beihara's eyes continued to scan the next materials. The continuity of the materials suddenly stopped here, like a straight highway suddenly encountering a break. In this batch of materials, the most important copper pledge document was missing.

"Where's the pledge note for 290 tons of copper?" Kitahara raised his head and asked.

"What was lost was the warehouse receipt for 290 tons of copper." Shimada said coldly, "Dongshan Club pledged the warehouse receipt for 290 tons of copper to us in exchange for the issuance of a letter of credit. Later, Dongshan Club's financial situation

It was difficult and unable to repay the money we advanced. For this reason, we entrusted Eto Law Firm to recover the money advanced by the bank from Dongshan Club on our behalf."

"After we transferred the warehouse receipts for the 290 tons of copper to Jiang Teng Law Firm, your former director has disappeared. The pledged warehouse receipts for the 290 tons of copper have also disappeared. There is no such pledged warehouse.

We simply cannot exercise our pledge rights against Dongshan Club. Therefore, your law firm must bear responsibility for all losses suffered by our bank in Dongshan Club’s letter of credit project. In other words, you must bear the liability for your professional negligence.

Liability for compensation of 500 million yen.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In other words, the lost debt document is a pledged warehouse receipt for 290 tons of copper?" Kitahara confirmed again.

Shimada nodded coldly.

"Wait, wait." Beihara sneered, "Don't lie to me. What Dongshan Club pledged was the warehouse receipt, not the bill of lading. If the warehouse receipt is lost, just go to the delivery warehouse to get a replacement. A total of 290 tons of copper.

Squeezed in the warehouse, don’t you have to pay the rent in the warehouse? Is the owner of the warehouse a fool? Freeing up space for Dongshan Club to store copper materials? The warehouse should even be urging you to pick up the goods."

"We have confirmed this a long time ago." Shimada's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The next second, Shimada's lips moved slightly.

An unbelievable word came out of Shimada's mouth.

But I heard a somewhat cold voice saying:

"These 290 tons of copper disappeared from the port of Tokyo Bay."

As Shimada's voice fell, the law firm suddenly became a little quiet.

It seemed that at this moment, the air stopped flowing because of these bizarre words.

"Hahahahaha." Kitahara couldn't help laughing, "Vice President Shimada, are you kidding me? 290 tons of copper, even if it requires a large container truck, will have to be hauled for several days and nights. This

How could it disappear from the port of Tokyo Bay? These 290 tons of copper must still be in the warehouse in Tokyo Bay. I guess they may have mistaken the warehouse where the copper is stored."

"This kind of error is also very common. After all, the location numbers of different warehouses may be close to each other, and maybe the warehouse receipt number is copied wrong. With so many tons of copper, as long as the warehouse checks it, it is impossible not to find it.

At that time, all we need to do is ask Dongri Club to cooperate in issuing a reissue of the warehouse receipt." Kitahara said with a smile.

"After we have repeatedly confirmed, this batch of copper materials has indeed disappeared." Shimada said coldly, "Do you think we have not done what we just said? The warehouse has recently undergone a transaction, and the owner of the warehouse has already

Many materials that had been stored for some time could no longer be found. We specially asked the new warehouse owner to open the warehouses one by one to see where the copper materials were stored. However, if there is none, there is none."

"Vice President Shimada, I think you are joking." Kitahara raised his lips, "This is not a fairy tale world, and there is no magic. 290 tons of copper cannot disappear."
