Entering the living room, Aoyama saw an elderly man with greying hair combed into a Big Back Head style, wearing a white shirt, slightly overweight, and with a somewhat fierce look in his face, sitting on the sofa.
It was none other than the boss of Takeda Fuji, Takai Baoyu.
A legendary figure, born in 1930 to an ordinary family, he started his business by offering loans to housewives in the 1960s, and by the '70s and '80s had become the leading company in the loan industry, the king of cash flow.
However, it was not until the next year in the original timeline, when he introduced the automatic loan machine, followed by Takeda Fuji's listing in 1996, that he finally became Japan's richest man in 1999 with a capital of 7.8 billion US Dollars.
