After Chen Xing refused to reconcile, Ueoka Hideki held another cabinet meeting to discuss how to save himself financially overnight.
Perhaps ordinary people have not noticed how bad the economy of the island country is now, but they just find it difficult to find a job.
But Hideki Ueoka knows, as well as most members of the cabinet, that the island nation is only one step away from a large-scale bankruptcy wave.
Economic problems are like throwing a stone into the middle of calm water. The first to feel the ripples are the central elite, followed closely by the rich, middle class, and petty bourgeoisie...
In the end, ordinary people at the bottom realized it later.
This is why, every time before an economic crisis comes, there are always some people who can escape unscathed, and there are always some people who don't even know that they have experienced an economic crisis.
After the economic crisis comes, it is often families ranging from the rich to the well-off who are harmed. The economic crisis is like the snap of Thanos' fingers, with percentage deductions.
For example, you have 100 million dragon national currency, while Zhang San next door only has 1,000 yuan. With the advent of the economic crisis, the currency has depreciated significantly. Assuming that the depreciation rate is 25%, the money in your hand is equivalent to 25 million less, and Zhang San only lost 250 yuan.
When you have little enough money, you won't feel the economic crisis.
You will only vaguely feel that wages are rising and prices are rising. Only when you stop one day will you finally realize that you have experienced an unprecedented economic crisis.
This is not nonsense, but a true portrayal of many mountainous families.
If you go to families in mountainous areas and ask them how the financial crisis in 1997 and 2008 affected their lives, they may have to ask what a financial crisis is.
As a member of the powerful class, Hideki Ueoka is at the center of the ripples and knows the pain earlier than other island nations.
But after several hours of meetings, it was almost dawn, and the island nation's cabinet still did not come up with a new solution. It was still arguing about three topics: borrowing money from the United States, cooperating with the Longxing Group, and declaring the country bankrupt.
Just when Hideki Ueoka was at a loss and looking sad, new cabinet member Yokoi Tomohiko tentatively made a suggestion: "Why don't we bypass the Longxing Group and talk directly to Longguo? As long as we reach an agreement with Longxing , Chen Xing must also compromise.”
The words fell.
The conference room fell silent instantly.
A dozen pairs of eyes with different expressions in the audience were all staring at the "newcomer" Yokoi Tomohiko, as if they wanted to see through him.
"I think so. Although Chen Xing can represent the Longxing Group, he cannot represent the Long Kingdom. As long as he reaches a consensus with the latter, he will have no choice but to submit obediently."
"This is much more reliable than asking the United States to borrow money or declaring the country bankrupt."
"That's right."
"Who should be sent to talk?"
Yokoi Tomohiko's opinions were adopted, and new problems emerged.
In less than three seconds, everyone looked at a certain location again. Sitting there was none other than Kiyoshi Yoshida, who was driven out by Chen Xing, looking like a lost dog.
Kiyoshi Yoshida already has experience in negotiating this kind of thing.
Moreover, Kiyoshi Yoshida was chosen to go to the Toyota Group headquarters before because his ability to react instantly was the best among all members of the island nation's cabinet.
Seeing everyone in the cabinet looking at him, Yoshida Kiyoshi raised his head slightly and felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Since we want to talk, let me go." He stood up and said.
"Yokoi Tomohiko, you should also go together so that we can take care of each other." Hideki Ueoka, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Yokoi Tomohiko and Yoshida Kiyoshi and said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
Tomohiko Yokoi responded.
Yoshida Kiyoshi did not speak and nodded silently in response.
In the depths of his pupils, a hint of unnoticeable displeasure flashed.
But you can't blame him. He could obviously solve the problem with his assistant, but now he has an additional "leader".
This is like a project. You and your team take the initiative to join the project, but the boss merges another team to let you work together.
What does this mean?
It means your boss doesn’t trust you and your team.
If he trusts you and your team, there is no need to arrange for another team to participate in the project.
Obviously.
Kiyoshi Yoshida's impression in Hideki Ueoka's mind was declining, so much so that he had to arrange backup to ensure smooth negotiations.
However, after reaching this level, Yoshida Kiyoshi would also hide himself and not show any displeasure.
……
After finding a breakthrough, Hideki Ueoka immediately sent a letter to Long Guo, hoping to hold a meeting between the two parties on the topic of "Industrial Upgrading".
As the incident in Brazil has spread globally, the island country's overseas infrastructure plan has failed. The moment Wang Shan learned that the island country wanted to negotiate, he immediately sneered and said: "This little Baga is really on the verge of death before he thinks of our old neighbor."
"Chief, what do you mean?"
Wang Shan’s assistant Li Kang was puzzled.
Although he is an assistant, he also has another identity, that is, he is the biological son of Wang Shan's deceased comrade, so he has always been deeply trusted and cultivated by Wang Shan.
In many cases, he represents Wang Shan to a certain extent.
Faced with the question of his comrade's son, Wang Shan patiently explained: "The U.S. dollar continues to raise interest rates, and our stock market continues to absorb funds. It can be said that the island country's economy has been double beaten and is facing collapse."
"In addition, island countries are famous for their small land and large population. Grain products such as wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as miscellaneous daily necessities, are highly dependent on imports."
"Once there is a problem in the economy, whether it is inflation or deflation, it will be no less than the real estate bubble in the 1980s."
Perhaps many people don’t understand how terrifying the island nation’s real estate bubble was. It was the worst in human history.
In the 1980s, with the support of the originally defeated country, the United States, the island country not only rapidly recovered economically, but also ushered in rapid development, becoming the second largest economy in the capitalist world, and the consumption power of the people also increased rapidly.
With the arrival of 1985, Japan, Japan and other countries signed the Plaza Accord, and the yen began to continue to appreciate. The island country also lowered its benchmark interest rate from 5% to 2.5%, which led to the booming development of the lending industry and further stimulated people's purchase of houses and consumption.
It was also during this period that the real economy of the island country began to stagnate, and some export companies or other real economy companies had to abandon their original industries and invest funds in the booming real estate industry.
The substantial increase in people's consumption power and the substantial inflow of funds from real economy enterprises have brought about the explosion of the real estate industry in the island country!
It was also during this period that the media was bribed with speculation funds, and the public was brainwashed to say that housing prices in island countries would only skyrocket in the future, because their land area is too small. If you buy a house now, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. If you don't buy a house now, you will not lose money in the future. I can’t even afford a toilet.
The combination of various factors has led to an explosion in housing prices in the island country!
At its peak, housing prices in Tokyo could buy the entire United States!
Yes!
Buy the entire United States!
Of course, buying in the United States refers to the total value of all real estate in the United States.
Because of the housing prices in Tokyo at that time, the price in the core area had reached US$62,000 per square meter, and a house of 100 square meters cost a full US$6.2 million.
What about the United States?
Housing prices in the core area are less than US$40,000 per square meter.
When a bubble of this level bursts, one can imagine the fate of the people of the island country. Almost everyone will be bankrupt and in debt.
Even with the rise of Japanese cars later, the island country still failed to get out of the real estate haze. In the past 20 to 30 years, the wages of the bottom workers and ordinary white-collar workers in the island country have not increased, and they have remained at the level of the 1990s.
If it happens again, the island country may really have to file for national bankruptcy.
"Then we might as well not meet." Li Kang suddenly said.
Wang Shan had already thought of the thoughts in his mind, and said: "We still have to meet, and the minimum etiquette must be followed."
"No!" Suddenly, he changed the subject: "Whether or not you agree to their request is another matter."
“The chief is still thoughtful.”
When Li Kang heard this, he immediately flattered him.
Wang Shan just smiled at this, obviously already used to it.
……
Noon the next day.
The island country's special plane for negotiation landed in the imperial capital.
Wang Shan, Wang Fang, and a group of top bosses personally welcomed them and paid enough attention to them, making Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko feel that this negotiation could be successfully completed.
However!
Wait for them to move to the conference room.
No matter what Kiyoshi Yoshida said, Wang Shan and Wang Fang were a little indifferent, and their desire for cooperation was not too strong.
Seeing this scene, Yokoi Tomohiko became a little anxious and said:
"Longguo has always wanted to upgrade its industry and no longer be a low-end OEM country. As long as you agree to let us join the BRICS Alliance and convince Longxing Group to rebuild the business environment for electric energy-driven vehicles, you will A complete high-end industrial system can be obtained.”
"Although the country is the parent of the enterprise, there is an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom that the sky is high and the bird can fly. How high, where and how the bird of Longxing Group flies is entirely up to the enterprise, but you can personally and They talk.”
As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, he looked at Tomohiko Yokoi and declined politely: "As for the BRICS Alliance, it currently has more than twenty members and has no plans to expand. If there are plans to expand members in the future, we will contact you as soon as possible."
< br>
In the adult world, if others have clearly expressed their rejection, it would be rude to continue to pester them.
Yokoi Tomohiko obviously has no experience, or in other words, he has already got the upper hand. He is like a red-eyed gambler with no sense and just wants to earn it all in one go.
"Our Empire of Japan has a complete high-end industrial system. Isn't the BRICS alliance just trying to develop? With us joining, you can develop rapidly by leveraging our industrial strength."
"That's right!" Yoshida Kiyoshi also got a little carried away and hurriedly agreed: "Your Dragon Kingdom has developed so fast, isn't it because the former Mao Xiong assisted an almost complete industrial system, and you know the benefits of reaping the benefits."
The two people's "reasonable arguments" still failed to impress Wang Shan.
Although what the two men said is true, the international situation is different.
It was a helpless move to accept the industrial assistance from the former Mao Xiong, because the Dragon Kingdom at that time urgently needed to strengthen its strength to deal with the crisis.
Moreover, Longguo didn’t get it for nothing, it also paid real money.
But what now?
The military power of the Dragon Kingdom is to protect two people and fight for one.
There is no urgency, and there is no need for Long Guo to rush.
To put it bluntly, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it will be to the Dragon Country's negotiations, and the island country's economy cannot afford to waste time.
This is a bit like buying water in a scenic spot. The mineral water at the foot of the mountain costs 3 yuan. It is 1 yuan more expensive than outside and you don’t buy it. When you are out of breath and sweating profusely from climbing, the mineral water on the mountain costs 5 yuan. You have to buy it even if you don’t want it.
Only by grasping the other party's pain points can you maximize your own interests.
"Actually, Chief Wang has made it very clear that our business environment in Long Country is free. If we are asked to step in and force companies to do things, it would be a bit inappropriate."
Wang Fang reminded tactfully.
After several reminders, Yokoi Tomohiko and Yoshida Kiyoshi became aware of their attitudes.
Looking for Chen Xing?
They just refused.
If nothing else, Chen Xing may have already lost his temper with these people, and it seems completely unnecessary to continue talking.
However, Chen Xing is really a little unfair!
He didn't get angry with Wang Shan at all, because in his opinion, there was no need to make a special call for such a small matter.
Moreover, according to the current economic situation of the island country, as long as it calms down and thinks carefully, it can completely wait until it can no longer hold its breath.
"A sneeze——"
Chen Xing sneezed.
He casually took out two tissues, cleared his nose, and threw the paper ball into the trash can.
Due to the typhoon, the temperature in eastern Guangdong has dropped sharply in the past two days. October, which was originally the hottest month, was not only rainy, but also "winter" came early.
"The weather is getting cooler."
Chen Xing glanced outside the window, it was still raining heavily in Shenzhen.
He didn't think about other aspects. After all, for people born and raised in eastern Guangdong, catching a cold during a typhoon is very normal.
Because the day before, the temperature might be 40 degrees, so hot that your underwear would get soaked, but the next day, it might suddenly reach more than 10 degrees, and you wouldn’t even have time to wear winter clothes.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Xing continued to type on the keyboard. At this time, he was writing a draft of the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" based on the black technology that was about to be announced by Longxing Group.
Don’t think that holding a press conference is easy. Even if you are a billionaire or a billionaire, you have to memorize the draft carefully if you want to hold a press conference.
Only by memorizing the manuscript can the press conference be held smoothly.
If you bring a manuscript to the stage, it is not a press conference, but a manuscript reading meeting. No boss has ever done this before.
Because the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" was too important and involved a large number of core products, Chen Xing did not let anyone else write the manuscript, but chose to do it himself.
On the Weibo information platform, the official account of Longxing Group has been constantly releasing news recently according to Chen Xing's instructions.
New cars.
New mobile phone.
New homes including a recent blog post.
Each forward-looking blog post touches the heartstrings of millions of netizens.
The latest blog post about real estate has received millions of comments.
Among them, a large number of young people are curious about how smart the whole house is, and a large number of netizens are looking forward to new cars and new mobile phones.
Among the millions of comments, the comment with the most likes was from a Yulongwan resident. He not only posted a photo of his family, but also wrote: "It has been almost half a year since I moved in, and I am very satisfied with everything. I look forward to the new owner." Coming! ”
In the replies to his comments, there are a large number of people who just need to buy a house, and they all want to get first-hand information.
However, the Yulongwan resident did not reveal any details, but asked them to wait for the news of Longxing Group's press conference.
As victims of unfinished buildings, if Chen Xing hadn't taken over real estate companies such as Country Garden and Evergrande Group, they wouldn't have known who to talk to.
Before Longxing Group held a press conference to announce the specific technical applications of the whole-house smart suite, they were obliged to keep it secret, and Chen Yapeng also reminded people, so they could only share photos and keep silent about other things.
