Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 576: Appreciation of the yen and clues to privatization

...

"Speaking at the banquet before the proposal of Japanese semiconductor companies to transfer production capacity, it reminds me that after surpassing the Soviet Union in 1978 and becoming the world’s second largest economy, Japan is getting closer and closer to the world’s number one economic power. Japanese products are becoming more and more well-known around the world. The increasing trade friction between Japan and the United States is not a reminder that Japan needs and has the ability to open up a broader overseas market." Tang Huan began to find excuses to find out what he wanted. Information.

"Tang Sang is very concerned about Japan's economic situation." Takeshita nodded with a smile, "The promotion of Japan's international status really starts with an economic power."

"However. Japan is also facing potential competition. In addition to the'Four Little Dragons in Asia', Thailand, etc., are also learning from the experience of Japan's economic development miracle and actively developing an export-oriented economy through devaluation of the national currency." Tang Huan said After finishing the favorable conditions, they began to list the unfavorable factors.

"The competitiveness of Japanese products in the international market does not require low prices to maintain an advantage." Takeshita laughed loudly. "In my opinion, in order to further help Japanese companies open up overseas markets, the yen is going the other way. The appreciation of the land will undoubtedly be the most suitable policy."

"With Japan's current economic status, once the yen appreciates, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction in the international currency market. I am afraid that the United States does not want to see the dollar lose its long-standing strong position." Tang Huan expressed his different opinions.

"Tang Sang, although you are a business genius, because of your different perspectives, you still can't understand some of the essence." Takeshita stopped the topic in an unpredictable manner.

"Pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, brother also has a news channel at the White House." Tang Huan snorted secretly.

In the original time and space, as the highest official of Japan's Ministry of Finance, Takeshita, the Minister of Finance, was a powerful promoter of the appreciation of the yen and an active advocate of the Plaza Accord.

Tang Huan tried his best to arouse this topic and start the discussion. I just want to test whether Takeshita's political philosophy is still the same as in the original time and space. After all, people's minds are the most difficult to figure out, especially politicians.

Now that he has personally determined that the other party's "clothes are getting wider and won't regret it", Tang Huan cooperated and stopped the topic as soon as he saw it. He picked up the tea set and poured tea for several people.

The movements are so graceful that they are pleasing to the eye. Obviously he has the essence of the tea ceremony, which has attracted a lot of praise.

After being arty for a while, Tang Huan brought up another topic, “Compared with the rapid rise of Japan’s economic take-off, the economic situation in Western Europe, except for West Germany, is not optimistic, but the respective policies adopted are huge. There is a difference. France is increasing the proportion of nationalization, while the United Kingdom is privatizing industries such as oil and telecommunications. I heard. The current Japanese cabinet also has a plan to privatize public enterprises?"

"Tang Sang's business sense is really keen, and it is true." Takeshita Old God said in the ground: "Tang Sang attracted Japanese investors before. The joint acquisition of Pacific Bell can be called a classic investment case. However, there are some things in Japan. Especially, many intricate forces are staring at the big cake of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation. It may be more inconvenient for Tang Sang to participate in it."

"Want to hear the details?" Tang Huan asked curiously, "I feel that Japan is very open here."

Takeshita pointed out the outside of the tea room and asked. "That Sun Zhengyi is Tang Sang's interest spokesperson in Japan, right?"

Tang Huan shrugged and replied casually: "We are alumni of the University of California, Berkeley. We can talk to each other and become business partners."

"He did successfully help you with a lot of things, such as the top membership card of Pebble Beach Golf Course. The popularity in Japan is looking up, but the foundation is too weak." Takeshita Teng smiled slightly, "Tang Sang is not married yet. If you marry a local family in Japan, you can understand the mystery."

Shintaro Abe laughed, "I guess, if possible, Takeshita would introduce his daughter to Tang Sang."

"It's a pity, it's a bit late to get to know Tang Sang." Takeshita nodded without concealment. "Tang Sang, the Japanese ladies are all highly educated, and they perfectly combine the excellent qualities of tradition and modernity. They are definitely the best Helping people from within the wise."

"I heard that the American media has been paying great attention to Tang Sang's age, and there have been a lot of disturbances about it." Kizaki Hikosaburo also followed the gossip.

"To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal." Tang Huanyun waved his hand calmly, "Next year I will enter the year of standing."

"It's amazing, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a genius." The three old guys were amazed with the strange look in their eyes.

Shintaro Abe even added, "Tang Sang is actually one year younger than Inuko Shinzo, but now he can't even drink."

"I heard that Shinzo has already dated a formal girlfriend?" Takeshita Tengge asked afterwards.

"It was Akie, the daughter of Akio Matsuzaki, president of Morinaga Confectionery, not long after the date." Shintaro Abe replied with satisfaction.

"The marriage of Shinzo and the eminent Morinaga family is really a right marriage." Kazakihikosaburo praised.

"As the so-called tree attracts the wind, Akio Matsuzaki is worried about the possible threat Morinaga Confectionery may face." Shintaro Abe sighed.

"Is it because of the recent vicious case of Ezaki Glico's Katsuhisa Yangtze River being kidnapped and poisoning the food produced?" Ozaki Hikosaburo asked hurriedly.

"Exactly." Shintaro Abe nodded. "That'weird twenty-one face' just finished threatening Ezaki Glico, and then reached out to Maru Dai Food, but the police's detection work has not made any progress. Being the best in Japan One of the influential food manufacturers, no one dared to guarantee that Morinaga Confectionery Co., Ltd. will not become the next blackmail target."

The blackmail case mentioned by Shintaro Abe began on March 18 this year when Ezaki Glico's Katsuhisa Changjiangzaki was kidnapped at his home, and he was asked for a ransom of 1 billion yen in cash and 100 kilograms of gold.

However, it is very magical that on the afternoon of the 21st three days later, Rupiao Ezaki Katsuhisa escaped from the abandoned warehouse where he was imprisoned by himself.

And this group of kidnappers who claimed to be "twenty-one faces of strangers" did not stop, and continued to threaten Esaki Katsura personally and Esaki Glico Co., Ltd. It then upgraded to sending challenge letters to the four major newspapers: Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, and Asahi Shimbun, clamoring that if the benefits are not received, they will be produced by Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. Chocolate, put in highly toxic cyanide.

As a result, the police actually found chocolate mixed with cyanide in a convenience store with a note signed "Weirdo Twenty-One Faces" on it. The general idea is that this box of food is dangerous, and people who eat it must be careful.

For this reason, Ito Yokado, Jiasco, Daiei and other supermarket chains have withdrawn Esaki Glico’s products. The stock price of the company has also been hit hard. According to the Osaka Stock Exchange, it has lost at least 5 billion. JPY.

On June 26, "Weirdo Twenty-One Faces" once again sent a letter to the four major newspapers announcing the end of the threat to Ezaki Glico. The claim that "the weather in Japan is too hot, I will go to London, Paris and other places to escape the heat, and come back in January next year" seems to imply that Ezaki Glico yielded and paid 600 million yen, but Ezaki Glico denied it.

Regardless of the internal situation, Ezaki Glico finally survived the catastrophe, the stock price began to rise, and product production gradually recovered.

But actually. "Weird Twenty-One Faces" did not "go away from the heat" as it claimed, but continued to stretch out its magic claws. Maruda Foods then received a threat letter similar to Ezaki Glico's before.

Looking at this posture, "Weirdo Twenty-One Faces" is very likely to round all Japanese food companies. A well-known company like Morinaga Seika is obviously even more of a target.

When it comes to this, Shintaro Abe can't help being frightened for the future in-laws.

Tang Huan didn't interrupt their discussion, but just made the appearance of listening carefully.

Gein is destined to be a disaster for the Japanese food industry. Take Ezaki Glico as an example. Originally, the stock price stayed at 745 yen, but after being blackmailed, it dropped to 589 yen.

However, Tang Huan laid down an 18-month speculative plan for this, and he was really embarrassed to make a polite gesture of sympathy.

but. Even if a central figure like Tang Huan is ignored for a moment, people will be immediately aware of it, so the topic will soon return to him.

Said: "The digital wireless walkie-talkie system with encryption function that Tangsang's company previously promoted to the police department may be affected by this incident and get an official purchase order. Because some people suspect that the police used it. Many resources are still nothing, which is related to the eavesdropping of the walkie-talkie used for police communications during the operation."

Tang Huan nodded, "Digital encrypted wireless walkie-talkie is a phased product in our process of developing digital communication technology. Its service performance in Hong Kong, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the upcoming Summer Olympics is very good."

"It turns out that Tangsang's technology research and development has expanded to the field of communications. It's no wonder that he is so interested in the privatization of the Japanese telecommunications industry." Takeshita laughed, "Then you should consider my proposal. Let's talk about your standards. I can help you find a qualified family lady."

Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, and frankly declined the more advanced sugar-coated cannonball in front of him. "The scandals about me once reported by the media are not completely false. With such a bad reputation, don't drag down the ladies."

"Tang Sang is really honest." The old guys seemed to have discovered the New World, and they joked, "It's okay, people are not tyrannical_little boy, the ladies of the family are reasonable, and they will understand your wonderful life in the past. "

...

After inquiring about several heavyweights in the current cabinet of Japan, Tang Huan is more aware of the future appreciation of the yen and the privatization of public enterprises in Japan.

The next day, Tang Huan went to Waseda University, one of the global partners of the Philosophy Training and Certification Center, and received another honorary doctorate title.

This is also the intended meaning of the question, and this type of gain will only be more in the future. Tang Huan has real talents and learns, but he also feels at ease.

The time spent in Asia is not short, and the affairs are almost handled. Tang Huan intends to hold a thank you reception as usual, and then he will go to the United States to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the Olympic Games.

At this time, Sony President Akio Morita and Sony President Norio Oga visited together.

Naturally, Tang Huan guessed that these two had nothing to do with the Three Treasures Hall. After all, in this videotape format war, the mighty vhs alliance directly set the table, making the unpopularity of the betamax alliance exposed.

I thought I had picked up a big bargain from Sony and was still supporting it in the United States, and continued to fight the price war in the home video recorder market. As for whether it was clearing away, only God knows.

Fengshui turns. Sony, which won the videotape format competition in the 1970s, is about to fall on the battlefield in the 1980s. There is almost no suspense.

As the founding father of Sony, Akio Morita was calm on the surface, but restless in his heart as if grass were growing. Hearing that Tang Huan is currently in Japan, he hastened to find him.

The two sides looked at the dispute over the videotape format very sensibly. The Gein Group has grown, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts in certain areas. When the strengths and weaknesses are already known, the leaders still focus on the overall situation of cooperation. For good, you can guess each other's thoughts from the beginning of the conversation.

Tang Huan directly threw out a sentence ~www.NovelMTL.com~Welcome Sony to produce vhs video recorders. "

"The application of video tapes is so extensive. Sony has only slightly failed in the home video recorder market." Akio Morita pretended to play down this embarrassing failure easily.

Seeing Akio Morita's death, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile, but he also had to admit that there was some truth in what the other party said. The broadcast-level application field and the closed-circuit television monitoring system he favored, all need to continue to fight. Site.

"Since everyone can put aside their differences and sit together peacefully, then it shows that cooperation is the general trend." Tang Huan casually set a tone.

Akio Morita nodded in agreement, "It is true. We have been happily working together on personal computers and cd-da. Sony always hopes to further expand the scope of cooperation between the two parties."

"Then let's start with the computer." Tang Huan smiled faintly, "In order to cope with the video processing performance improvement brought by the next generation of 32-bit personal computers, can Sony provide a set of color computer monitors? Relatively high-quality and inexpensive Trinitron product solutions?" (To be continued.) u
