As the "Disintegration Plan" progressed in an orderly manner, many Toyota Group suppliers became anxious because they discovered that Yao Nana and Lan Junyi were not thinking about the final payment at all, but were thinking about directly cutting off the group's cash flow.
In a hotel room in Tokyo, a dozen "victim" suppliers gathered together to discuss how to get the balance back.
“We can’t delay any longer. The Longxing Group has no intention of giving us the final payment. They are just here to kill the Toyota Group!”
“I have applied to the court. Freezing the liquidity of Toyota Group, but the review will take time, and there will also be a court confrontation. "
"At this rate, Toyota Group's liquidity will be squandered in less than half a year or less than three months. Clean!”
"How cruel, Longxing Group!"
"Chen Xing is really going to destroy us!"
The suppliers of the private rooms became more and more angry as they talked. It's not like they never thought of coming to collect debts. But they were all sent away by Yao Nana.
Is there anything they can do?
They have begun to try various methods, but with little success.
Because the contract clearly states that the balance of the goods must be paid within half a year, that is to say, as long as Toyota Group pays the balance within half a year, it will not be in breach of contract.
Can this situation wait for half a year?
Half a month is enough!
According to their understanding, Lan Junyi, the deputy director of Toyota Group, is purchasing a large amount of real estate to use as a temporary residence for Toyota Group on business trips.
It is said to be a residence, but in fact it is an excuse to absorb the group's funds.
What is outrageous recently is that Toyota Group is also purchasing a batch of supercars to ensure the commuting of executives.
Equipped with a super car for commuting, purchasing a large amount of real estate, and earning an annual salary of over 100 million, this kind of prodigal behavior should not appear in a formal group at all, because it can easily cause a break in cash flow.
Does Yao Nana care?
She doesn't care.
Lan Junyi doesn’t care either.
Chen Xing didn't care even more.
Because Nishikawa Takahiro has a veto power, Toyota Group's core technology cannot be transferred to Longxing Group through cooperation. Now it is just a vase.
After destroying it, the economic downturn of the island country will allow Longxing Group to find more opportunities. You must know that the trading team led by Li Daxiao and Yang Delong have been eyeing it.
In addition to shorting the stock market, they also continue to short the yen.
Because after the Japanese yen raised interest rates, the domestic economy of the island country did not improve significantly, but instead showed an economic downward trend.
This is mainly because semiconductor companies and automobile manufacturing companies are being attacked by the Longxing Group. As for finance and medical care, these two are not the economic pillars of the island country.
Because in the distribution of globalization, the United States monopolizes finance and medical care.
Finance, keep company with money.
Medical care, exchange money for life.
Relying on these two fields, the U.S. economy has remained strong in the past few decades.
If you want to make long-term investments, other countries are more or less unsafe, and the United States has strong military strength to protect you. In addition, the U.S. dollar is the hard currency in currency, so it will naturally lead to a bull market for decades.
As for medical care, today, Longguo, Maoxiong, and even most developed countries are extremely dependent on imports of high-precision medical equipment, and the manufacturers are basically from the United States.
Basic industries have been attacked, leaving the top leaders of the island country quite helpless.
But if they cooperate with Chen Xing...
They are also afraid that Long Guo will take this opportunity to use the Toyota Group's industrial system to complete a comprehensive upgrade of industrialization.
Once Dragon Kingdom breaks away from the middle and low-end industries and moves towards high-end industries, who can stop its great renaissance?
This is a dead end, and the island country has become a pawn in the game between the great powers.
……
When Toyota Group suppliers were filled with indignation and scolded Longxing Group, Toyota Group made another bad announcement.
[Announcement of Centralized Procurement Plan]
[In order to meet the daily communication needs of employees and improve work efficiency, the Toyota Group Board of Directors unanimously approved a procurement plan. We will purchase 50,000 brilliant X2 mobile phones through batch orders and equip all Toyota Group regular employees with work mobile phones. The total expenditure amount is approximately 3 billion to 5 billion yen. ]
The moment the external announcement was issued, the entire island country’s Internet exploded, and investors immediately questioned it.
[Mio Suzuki]: "Is the Toyota Group crazy? After buying a house and a car, and then buying a car and buying a mobile phone, this is how our investors' money is given to you?"
[Takada Yuuto]: "Yazai Road! I don't want to play anymore. Please give me your money back. I will never invest in stocks again!"
[Matsumoto Tamaki]: "Longxing The group has gone too far. Since taking over the Toyota Group, all kinds of bad news have continued. Chen Xing does not regard our island investors as human beings!”
[Hideki Horikawa]: "The Nikkei 225 Index futures fell to the limit. It's over. My life is over. I'm going to Dragon Country to fight Chen Xing!"
If in the past, we couldn't wait for the stock market to open, then now Retail investors and institutions in Japan are afraid of the opening.
Night-time index futures serve as a leading indicator, which to a certain extent can determine whether the market will open higher or lower, and how it will proceed during the day.
Now the Nikkei 225 is down 9% and no one wants to open the market.
Because once the market opens, there is a high probability of a devastating and tragic drop.
Not only the Nikkei 225 index futures fell, but also the stock market index futures in Asia and the entire world fell. Only the three major indexes of Longguo maintained their upward attack.
Faced with this situation, if you were an international fund trader, what would you do?
Obviously.
Follow market trends.
Trading against the market often involves huge risks. If you are not fully sure, it is easy to lose your pants.
In addition to the lamentations of retail investors in island countries, there are also a large number of lower-level workers who are worried about the economy, and can even be said to be confused.
Why is this happening?
This has to start with the island country’s economic structure and pillar industries.
As we all know, the island country is a country that is resource-scarce and highly dependent on imports.
It does not have rich mineral resources or a huge area of arable land, but it needs to feed hundreds of millions of people.
Faced with this internal situation of scarcity of resources and inability to be self-sufficient, it can only continue to import to maintain a balance between supply and demand.
Foreign exchange reserves are particularly important if you want to import and export trade.
Island countries generally earn foreign exchange through four areas, one is exporting seafood, the other is exporting cars, the third is exporting high-precision equipment, and the fourth is supplying various industrial materials.
Now the automobile export trade has been cut in half, high-tech equipment is under the supervision of the United States, and the majority of the income from industrial raw materials, semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist are both captured by the Dragon Kingdom, leaving the island country with only seafood to earn foreign exchange.
Is seafood alone enough?
It's obviously not enough.
In the past, automobile exports accounted for 40% or even higher of foreign exchange earnings, while seafood accounted for less than 10%.
If the industrial structure cannot be adjusted quickly, a large number of unemployed people will appear in the island country, and the entire social economy will be affected.
If a speck of dust of the times is placed on an individual or a group, it will be an unbearable weight.
Take the Spinning Jenny, for example. In books, it was the wave of industrialization, but in the eyes of the spinning workers at the time, it was the thing that caused them to lose their jobs.
Another example is the globalization promoted by the United States, which threw its low-end industries to Asia. As a result, workers at the bottom have no jobs and can only return to farming, and are called red necks.
Perhaps in the future, history books will only record the industrial restructuring of the island country. Regardless of failure or success, these few sentences contain too many family unemployment.
……
FSA Financial Services Agency.
In the president’s office.
Saitoi was promoted again. He looked at the arrow pointing downwards and felt despair and helplessness in his heart. Longxing Group's precise sniper attack destroyed the industrial foundation of the island country.
Exports of automobiles and semiconductor materials, the island country’s two major foreign exchange earning areas, are now being choked by the Longxing Group.
“What exactly are we going to do?”
Saitoi muttered to himself.
While speaking, he clicked the mouse to check the international price changes of semiconductor raw materials.
When he saw that the prices of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers had dropped by another 2%, he fell into silence.
Since Longxing Group conquered related fields, the international quotations of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers have been declining.
A year ago, the quoted price of 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafer was US$270. Now the quoted price has dropped to US$136, which is close to being cut in half.
Why did it fall so hard?
The three Longguo companies, Longxing Industrial, Kunpeng Industrial and Shanghai Silicon Group, currently control 70% of the world's semiconductor silicon wafer share.
18-inch, 20-inch, and 22-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, as well as 14N purity, directly defeated the island country’s 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers and gained pricing power.
Ordinary people in the island country may just feel the unemployment crisis now, but in Saitoi's view, this is not just an unemployment crisis, but an economic crisis for the entire island country.
Not only Saitoi saw the precursors of the economic crisis, but some businessmen with a keen sense of smell also noticed abnormalities.
For example, Miyazaki Yui knew the deal was broken the moment he saw Yao Nana messing around with the Toyota Group.
The consequence of the collapse of the talks is the possibility of an economic crisis, a double blow to the real economy and the financial system. The island country may suffer a setback in development for decades like Thailand.
Anyone who knows history knows that Thailand did not rely on tourism in the past. Their industry and finance were ranked among the best in Asia.
But with Soros and other Wall Street financial capital shorting the Thai baht, Thailand returned to poverty almost overnight.
Without industrial and financial support, they can only develop tourism.
With the rapid development of tourism, in order to better serve tourists and increase income, many gray industries have quietly sprung up.
In order to avoid the shrinkage of wealth and the devaluation of assets, many wealthy island countries have begun to sell off their assets or exchange their Japanese yen for U.S. dollars, euros and Japanese currency.
Because once an economic crisis comes, the local currency and real assets will depreciate significantly, and even companies will be worthless.
For example, during the Asian economic crisis in 1997, Japanese and Korean companies with no cash flow were mercilessly hunted down by Wall Street in the United States. To this day, Japanese and Korean tycoons are still working on Wall Street.
The lighting of the fuse for escape made Hideki Ueoka very anxious.
In the past, he used to laugh at the Dragon Kingdom's foreign exchange controls, which restricted capital flight, and felt that he was not free. Now he really wants to have foreign exchange controls to reduce the speed of capital flight.
Finance Minister Ishida Mitsunari never thought that in just one or two days, the amount of money fleeing the island country would actually double, including a large number of wealthy elites.
You must know that in most countries in the world today, domestic economic distribution follows the 80/20 rule. Simply put, 20% of people control 80% of society's wealth.
The group of people who are fleeing capital from island countries and avoiding financial risks are the 20% elite, or the 1% of the 20%, the top group of rich people. These people have a far-reaching sense of smell. More sensitive than ordinary people.
"The elites are no longer optimistic about the domestic economy and must find a way to reverse the situation." Ishida Mitsunari muttered to himself.
He originally thought that the Toyota Group was an incident that would lead to unemployment, but he did not expect that it would cause a wave of panic in the country.
If it is not corrected in time, it is very likely that the economic depression will reappear.
If the society falls into a state of deflation, the economy of island countries with poor land resources and high reliance on imports may regress for decades.
……
The next morning. Nikkei 225 opened as scheduled.
Almost without any surprise, there was a five-minute circuit breaker at the opening, and the confidence of all retail investors had been wiped out.
Someone cut off the meat and left.
There is a trapeze artist.
Someone is quietly buying the bottom.
After only five minutes, the "smart money" that bought the bottom lost 3% of its account, and it continued to fall.
The current Japanese stock market is just like the U.S. stock market in 2000, 2001 and 2002. It fell by nearly 90% in three years, and all retail investors were buried in the ground.
The frequent declines in the stock market have brought about an increase in savings deposits.
People begin to not believe that money can be made in the capital market, which is a very scary thing.
Because the stock market is not just an investment market, it is also a financing channel for enterprises.
If the stock market fails to develop, companies will not be able to raise funds in the secondary market, which will naturally affect the whole society.
“Nikkei 225, I hate you!!!”
Ginza Building.
A man reaches the highest point.
After he shouted with all his strength, he suddenly jumped forward and the crowd watching below silently closed their eyes.
Just hearing a muffled thud, several doctors immediately came out of the ambulance parked nearby to deal with the funeral of the man who jumped from the building.
“Another dance. In the past two years, hundreds of people have danced, right?”
"The Ginza Building is still under control. I don't know how many people died in other places. They were all gamblers who used leverage to speculate in the stock market."
"Stock trading is scary."
"10 people entered the stock market. , all 9 people are losing money, this is a gambling place, how can it be scary? The most important thing is that our economy is not good and we don’t have the extra funds to increase our profits.”
“There are still people who want to jump in!”< br>
Under everyone’s gaze, another person stood at the top.
There were police officers beside him trying to dissuade him, but to no avail. The same muffled thud and the same process of collecting the body.
Not only in island countries, there are desperate investors jumping off buildings because of the stock market all over the world.
And on the other side.
The Longguo stock market is exactly the opposite.
As Longxing Group announced last night that it would acquire Tesla’s Magic City Super Factory, as a technology leader, it was once again attracted by domestic and foreign capital, with an increase of up to 17%.
The high gains drove the entire market upward.
The current Golden Dragon Technology Index is very similar to the Nasdaq Index more than ten years ago, making people full of desire for speculation.
Due to the crazy rise in the stock market, many retail investors have made money.
Some go to buy a house.
Some go traveling.
Some go to change cars.
The economy that was originally sluggish due to the interest rate hike in the United States has gradually been revitalized, and many people are willing to spend money.
The people are willing to consume, and the economy that is a stagnant water will flow.
Anyone who has observed water sources in the mountains knows that a pool of stagnant water can easily become smelly and turbid, but if it is a flowing stream, the water will be clear and sweet.
The money in the bank does not idle, and the money in hands does not stagnate. This is a sign of an upward economy.
At this time, the investors in the stock bar began to be in a high mood and talk loudly with other people.
[Feng Xiao Xixi]: "I made another 20,000 yuan. I decided to go out for a massage tonight to help the younger brothers of the technicians."
[Yu Huangdi]: "She has sick parents, she is in debt, and her younger brother has to go to school. If we don't help them, will there be love in this society?"
[Big A-share God]: "They all say Buffett An annual return of 20% is awesome. My current return is as high as 140%. I feel like I am also a stock god, and I can also be Buffett!"
[Black Flash]: "Come on, brother, let's do it! It’s time to hit the trend of the times. If the country didn’t want to use the stock market to revitalize the economy, how would we get rich? ”
Investors in the Dragon Country and investors in the Island Country are two extremes at the moment.
One makes money like drinking water, and the other loses money like running water. The national economy is vividly reflected in the stock market.
Wall Street such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs Group have given up on the U.S. stock market and turned to embrace the Longguo stock market, injecting a large amount of capital and raising the buy level of Longxing Group to "overweight", allowing investors to Keep buying.
Less than a month after listing, the stock price is about to increase by 30 times, but everyone thinks that Longxing Group can at least increase by 50 times.
……
And on the other side.
Longxing Group Bantian Base.
In the president's office, Chen Xing was playing with the three-fold template machine in his hand, commenting from time to time: "One fold, two fold, three fold. This three-fold screen seems to be closer to a tablet. , It’s really interesting.”
“In the past, many software could not adapt to the dual-folding screen, and there would be gaps. The three-folding screen makes up for this shortcoming,” Liang Ziang, the person in charge of the folding mobile phone project, quickly answered.
The Cuican X2 Fold was well received, but a problem was discovered after promotion.
That is mobile applications, which sometimes cannot achieve full screen. This is because the software does not specifically design pages for double-folding screens, resulting in blank spaces.
But the three-folding is different, it can directly apply the flat structure.
Tablets have been in the market for so many years and have a fairly mature structural framework, which is very friendly to tri-folding screens.
“Not bad.”
Chen Xing folded it a few more times.
After playing with it for a while, he looked at the crease of the flexible screen and said, "Is there any way to make this crease lighter? Although it is not obvious when the screen is bright, it is particularly prominent when the screen is dark."
"This can only be left to the technical department. I can only say do your best."
Liang Ziang has no idea.
Although three-folding is good, there will be obvious creases at the folding point of the flexible screen, but this is unavoidable.
Chen Xing did not dwell on this issue, and immediately said: "The design is good. You can discuss it with other departments and try to make a real machine within three months."
"Okay CEO." Liang Ziang responded and asked at the same time: "What is the funding for this project, and what is the name?"
"What is the estimated production cost of a three-fold mobile phone?"
“Because the configuration has not been determined yet, but I estimate that there is a high probability that it will exceed 20,000, because the three-folding process is far more complicated than the double-folding.”
“A mobile phone with a price of 20,000…”< br>
Chen Xing fell into thinking.
This is not a cheap price, and the groups that can consume it are either rich or expensive.
"Let's do this. You ask Vice President Zhang for project fund approval. As for the project name, you decide on your own. I only want the final results."
"Okay."
With Chen Xing's approval, Liang Ziang can go ahead and do it.
Actually, he didn’t know much about making a three-folding machine because the cost was too expensive, with one unit costing tens of thousands of yuan.
That's why he put together a prototype three-fold model and brought it to Chen Xing for approval.
Only when Chen Xing nodded did he dare to continue developing folding screen mobile phones.
After Liang Ziang left, Chen Xing opened an encrypted document and typed the words "tri-fold mobile phone" on it.
Besides the three-fold mobile phone, there are also low-altitude flying cars, ternary computers, ternary chips...
Why do you make this document?
Very simple.
Chen Xing wants to hold a science and technology exhibition.
If the technology accumulated by Longxing Group needs to be released again and again, it would be too cumbersome. Chen Xing does not have so much energy. After all, the financial decisive battle has now reached a fever pitch.
So Chen Xing’s current idea is to hold a technology exhibition exclusive to Longxing Group to give the world a big technological shock.
In order to prepare for this exhibition, Chen Xing had to inquire about the progress every now and then to decide when it would be held.
Just as Rebus once said, this time Chen Xing will bet all the reputation he has accumulated in the past to successfully organize this science and technology exhibition.
......
While Chen Xing is still busy on how to make Longxing Group go further, the chaebol groups in Japan and South Korea are thinking about how to hold on to the market.
Because Japan and South Korea are close to the Dragon Kingdom, their economies are being continuously siphoned off.
Business order volume decreased.
Market demand changes.
The domestic economy is in depression.
This has led to changes in the peninsula's economic system. Many chaebol groups, such as Korean Star Group and Lotte Group, have begun to sell off unimportant assets.
Wall Street giants are also interested in selling their stocks when they see the economic recession.
From the perspective of Wall Street, Peninsula Enterprises has lost most of its value. Even if it is as strong as Korean Star Group, it now has to face layoffs and reduce capital expenditures.
However, LG Group, which cooperates with Longxing Group, is not affected and even has a vague tendency to become the number one chaebol.
Faced with today's severe economic situation, senior leaders of the peninsula are running around the world, trying to find a way to break the situation.
The experience of the peninsula and the flight of the domestic elite made the speaker of the island nation Hideki Ueoka unable to sleep. He could clearly feel that the building was about to collapse in just an instant.
He had to do something.
He wants to revive the domestic economy.
After reading a large number of books and reviewing a large amount of historical materials, Hideki Ueoka found a strategy to provide a large number of jobs for the people at the bottom, which is to learn from the large infrastructure of the Dragon Kingdom, use work as a relief, and create a large number of low-level jobs.
As for how to build large-scale infrastructure, he also thought of the land purchased by the island country in Brazil, where large-scale infrastructure construction can be carried out.
