Japan, Tokyo.
Deng Lijun never dreamed that after nearly half a year, Fang Yan would finally be willing to make this call to herself.
"Really! That's great!"
"I will definitely tell my agent the good news as soon as possible and ask him to plan an itinerary for me to return to Hong Kong."
“I am very much looking forward to the day when I can meet you in Xiangjiang. When the time comes, I hope to thank you in person. Thank you, Fang Sheng!”
After saying "Thank you" three times in a row, the long-awaited international call was hung up reluctantly.
“Huh!”
Deng Lijun breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down her mood, and then couldn’t wait to call Minoru Funaki regardless of what time it was.
After a while, the call was dialed, and a tired and confused voice came from the other end:
"What's the matter, Xiao Deng?"
"I'm sorry, Zhou Mu-san, for disturbing me."
Deng Lijun said with a hint of apology in her tone.
"It's okay, I just don't sleep now."
Minor Funaki picked up the remote control and turned the volume of the TV that was broadcasting financial news to the lowest level.
Since the end of August, many gossips about the Japanese stock market, foreign exchange market and property market have been circulating in Japan.
After all, after more than two months of negotiations, Japan and the United States reached three agreements. The policies that Japan should introduce in the future should include financial liberalization, expansion of domestic demand, and lowering bank interest rates. However, Japan has not agreed to the tax cuts that the United States wants. .
So in early September, the United States invited France, West Germany and the United Kingdom, plus Japan, and the finance ministries of the five countries held a meeting in London, which involved a series of issues such as the opening of the market and the Japanese yen exchange rate. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen has changed from 1:260 to 1:250.
In less than a month, the yen appreciated by 3.8%.
Right now, including him, more and more people who are not in the financial field are beginning to pay close attention to the foreign exchange market, but no one knows when the five countries will confirm the final agreement, so the entire The exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen has been fluctuating up and down, with shock adjustments.
But to Teresa Teng, she neither understood nor was interested, so she immediately brought the topic back:
"Funaki-san, let me tell you good news. Mr. Fang Yan has finally contacted me."
"That's right!"
Funaki Minoru suddenly became energetic and his attention also changed. Move away from financial news.
"Mr. Fang Yan still remembers the agreement between us. He is going to invite me to Xiangjiang for an interview."
Deng Lijun said with a smile on her face.
"Excellent!"
Minori Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice, "Sure enough, Mr. Fang Yan is not a person who breaks his word."
Deng Lijun is used to seeing big scenes, and she is still excited at this time Incessantly.
I have been looking forward to songs with dialect lyrics since the beginning of the year, especially when Matsuzaka Keiko released a new single, "Snow Flower", which is still a new song with dialect lyrics, and it still caused a stir in Japan. The song reached No. 4 on the Oricon Chart in its first week, breaking the previous best performance of "Red Sun". Moreover, it was the late winter when it was released. This winter ballad quickly spread from Japan to The fire has reached Asia.
The sales volume of the single has reached 500,000, which is a feat only achieved by national idol-level singers such as Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda.
"Did Mr. Fang Yan tell you what type of song he prepared?"
Minor Funaki asked: "Is it your best lyrical slow song?"
"This one he I didn’t say it, I just said it was the theme song of the movie.”
Teresa Teng recalled it seriously.
“Movie?” Minoru Funaki’s heart skipped a beat, “What movie!”
Teresa Teng bluntly said that it was a movie produced by Shaw Brothers Pictures, and the script was written by Fang Yan himself.
“Nani!!”
Funuki stood up excitedly and confirmed again and again before finally convinced that the news was true, and he was overjoyed.
Being able to contribute a theme song to a movie written by the Oscar-winning screenwriter is a good thing that many Japanese singers dream of!
When I thought of this, my words were full of excitement: "It's really great! No matter what type of song it is, it must be next!"
"That's what I thought at the time."
Deng Lijun smiled.
"When does Mr. Fang Yan want us to go to Xiangjiang? Now?"
Minori Funaki said impatiently.
Deng Lijun said: "He said that at the end of September, the specific time will be notified separately."
"The end of September? That will have to wait for a while." Minoru Funaki was startled and kept mumbling "Why is it the end of September?" and his eyes couldn't help but look at the financial news on TV.
Two weeks later, the same channel and the same host reported a much-anticipated news:
“On September 22, the United States, France, and West Germany , Japanese and British finance ministers and central bank governors at the Plaza Hotel in New York, Discussing how to solve the serious trade deficit and fiscal deficit problems in the United States, and then signing a joint agreement, named the Plaza Accord after the hotel.”
At the same time, similar news was also heard around the world. TV stations broadcast it, including Xiangjiang.
Bai Ruoxue saw this report for the first time and shouted loudly:
"Teacher Fang, look at it!"
"Is the negotiation done?"
Fang Yan was in a hurry ran to the living room.
“It’s a deal! It’s a deal!”
Bai Ruoxue was so excited that she jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Teacher Fang, we succeeded!"
Seeing them jumping and jumping, crying and howling, Gong Xie He looked confused and said: "What's the matter? What's the deal?"
"Sister Gongjie, The five-nation agreement has been negotiated!”
Bai Ruoxue said excitedly that the five countries will use 18 billion U.S. dollars to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to make the U.S. dollar lower its value against major international currencies in an orderly manner. Solving the huge trade deficit in the United States is equivalent to a substantial devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
“It turns out that this is the thing that has caused you to be on tenterhooks and think about it day and night for so many days!”
Gong Zhen looked at Fang Yan with a haggard face and unshaven beard on his left, and Bai Ruoxue with dark eyes and lack of sleep on his right.
"Yeah, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't have asked for such a long leave from school!"
Bai Ruoxue noticed the strange look in her eyes, and then realized that they had been hugging each other since just now In celebration, he immediately let go of his hand and his face gradually turned red.
“Ahem!”
Fang Yan pretended to cough, and then tried to resolve the embarrassment: “Ruoxue, how much do you think the yen can appreciate this time?”
"Teacher Fang, the Plaza Accord stipulates that the yen and mark must appreciate significantly to restore the overvalued U.S. dollar price. The purpose is to at least increase the exchange rates of various countries' currencies against the U.S. dollar by 10% to 15%. I think the appreciation of the yen The amplitude will greatly exceed this ratio."
Bai Ruoxue analyzed it carefully.
“Huh?!”
Gong Qie was startled.
Bai Ruoxue said: "Things are universally connected. After the Plaza Accord is signed, if countries start to sell U.S. dollars, those foreign exchange investors and financial institutions holding U.S. dollars will definitely also sell U.S. dollars. A selling frenzy will form, causing the U.S. dollar to continue to depreciate.”
"If calculated at 20%, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen would probably fall to 1:200."
Fang Yan excitedly waved his fist in the air.
"Teacher Fang, I think there is more. Although the Plaza Accord stipulates that the time for the five countries to intervene in the market is only 6 weeks, the impact of terror on the market may last as long as half a year, or even a year. According to this length of time If we were to calculate it, I’m afraid the appreciation would be Reaching thirty-forty percent."
Bai Ruoxue's eyes were full of admiration, "Although your move of pulling the lever was risky, you really made the right move to kill the dragon!"< br>
“Pull the lever? What does it mean?”
Gong Qian was confused and couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about.
At this moment, the phone rang, and the caller was naturally the old Mike family who was far away on the other side of the ocean but was also paying close attention to the Plaza Accord.
As soon as the connection was connected, Old Mike, Luo Dian and others congratulated each other. What they meant was nothing more than——
This is what I have seen in so many years of working in the industry. The greatest trader!
Seeing Bai Ruoxue chattering in English, Gong Zhen became more and more curious, tugged at the corner of his clothes in dialect and said:
"What are you thinking about now?"
"I'm thinking about where to invest this large amount of money I've earned?"
"A large amount of money?"
In Gong Xie’s clear eyes With a trace of confusion and astonishment: "How many are there?"
Fang Yan held her cheek and kissed her forehead: "How should I put it, at least a few small targets, and it's also a beautiful knife! ”
"Small target, how small is it?"
Gong Qie was confused until he put a number next to his ear and said a number, and his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
Fang Yan smiled but said nothing. You must know that when Shasha big households came to buy mushroom eggs, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only about 2 billion US dollars.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so “crazy” as to sell mushroom eggs. I really can’t afford to hurt a poor rabbit!
And if you let the country know that you probably have the money on hand to buy a few mushroom eggs, it is tantamount to detonating several mushroom eggs! (End of chapter)
