Chapter 604: I want to divide the meat

"Oh? So Zhenhua, what is your opinion?" Guo Zhaode asked.
He has always attached great importance to Tan Zhenhua’s suggestions, and after many practices, although Tan Zhenhua respects his professional opinions most of the time, as long as he opposes it, there must be important reasons, and according to Tan Zhenhua’s thinking If implemented, the most fruitful results will be achieved.
This is also the reason why he believed that Tan Zhenhua has the ability to predict the future when he chatted with his friend Yu Pengxia in private.
Tan Zhenhua replied: "I suggest that we take the first step out in New York and Tokyo."
New York, the center of global finance, also has a financial sacred place like Wall Street. Compared with London, it is obviously more attractive to the gathering of global capital. In Guo Zhaode's plan, he originally regarded landing on Wall Street as the ultimate goal of expanding his financial territory, but Tan Zhenhua Proposing to log in now, this is of course possible. Keep the existence, control the scale and risk, train the team, explore talents, and accumulate the understanding and experience of the market. This is originally a running-in process that a new team must go through. It is enough to grasp the degree in the process.
But why does Tan Zhenhua put Tokyo in particular and list it as the first development priority?
Compared with the established international financial centers of New York, London, Paris, and Frankfurt, Tokyo, which is in Asia with Hong Kong, has really risen in recent years. Whether it is scale, influence, or status in international finance, it is still quite Inferior, although from a geographical point of view, Tokyo and Hong Kong are closer, and communication and command are more convenient, but will this conflict with Hong Kong's status?
Guo Zhaode raised this question.
Tan Zhenhua explained: "Tokyo, with the support of the United States after World War II, has gradually risen. It can be said to be a rising star in the world's financial world. However, when it comes to history, it cannot be said to be short. After all, the so-called "six consortia" , There is a relationship of inheritance or evolution with the major "chaebols" before World War II, and with the need of the "Cold War", the United States gradually loosened its support for the Japanese country in all aspects, and the country's economy has been greatly developed. Since 1980, the GDP of Japan has surpassed Soviet Russia, becoming the second largest economy in the world after the United States. To measure this, Tokyo is the most economically active region in the world except New York. There is no doubt?"
Both Yu Pengxia and Guo Zhaode nodded slightly and agreed with Tan Zhenhua’s statement. Tan Zhenhua went on to say:
From a numerical point of view, the Japanese nation is currently the second largest economy in the world, second only to the United States. There is obviously no doubt that he is an economic giant. However, in my opinion, there is a fatal problem in the economy and financial industry of the country, and this problem will inevitably erupt at some time in the future, and it will put the country’s economy in a very short period of time. Happened, it will also be our golden opportunity. I learned an experience from this experience in London. Guess what?
Guo Zhaode understood it after a second thought, and smiled and said, "Zhenhua, you don't mean to say that Rothschild joined some people to legally rob the British treasury, right?"
Tan Zhenhua snapped his fingers and said: "Bingo, Zhaode, you are right. We have worked so hard to operate the foreign exchange market to make a small amount of money. But you can look at other people's Rothschilds. Land to make money, on the one hand, they used the exchange rate to force the British government to bow, thus grasping the control of several companies that are the lifeblood of the country. This is simply a textbook-style business that combines short-term and long-term interests to obtain the greatest benefits. Case!"
His words resonated with the two present. After all, in the battle of London just past, these two were actual participants. Guo Zhaode was the real commander of the battle. Looking back now, the layout and strangulation of Rothschild , Can be called classics of commercial warfare.
"Then Zhenhua, what is the Achilles heel of the Japanese economy that you said?" Yu Pengxia asked curiously.
Tan Zhenhua explained: "The most fatal problem for the Japanese nation is its lack of economic independence."
"How to say?"
"Zhaode and Pengxia, as we all know, on the surface, from the beginning of the 1950s, with the support of the U.S. State, the country has continued to undertake the industries gradually transferred from Western countries, plus its unique consortium. The enterprise group structure of the center finally reached its current achievements, and it has grown into one of the global economic giants, the second largest economy after the United States, and it has launched market competition with the United States in chemical, automotive, electronics, shipbuilding and other aspects. It can even be said to have achieved great success. However, its economic success cannot conceal its political weakness, and the politics of the Japanese country is completely involuntary. If it is separated from the so-called "protection" of the United States, it will immediately collapse, and then the problem is coming. If you were from the United States, what would you do when you find that an opponent has threatened your leadership in many ways, but you hold his lifeblood?"
"How to do it? Of course kill him." Guo Zhaode replied without hesitation.
"Yes, kill him. This is the natural choice. Then, I will make another assumption. Without using the ultimate means of war and using only economic means, how can you achieve your goal and kill him?"
This time, Guo Zhaode thought for a long time. After more than ten minutes, he hesitated to raise his head and replied: "If it were me, I might consider manipulating the exchange rate and using the political capital in my hands to force him to actively appreciate the currency by 50% or Higher, in this way, due to the appreciation of the currency, the price of its export products will rise greatly, which will reduce the market competitiveness of its products, thereby attacking its industrial product exports, restricting or delaying the expansion and protection of its enterprises The purpose of related industries in the country."
Tan Zhenhua couldn't help but admire his "demon knife" partner again. The solution proposed by Guo Zhaode was exactly the same as the method adopted by the "Plaza Agreement" that the U.S. forced the Japanese to sign and implement a few years later, and it is precisely because of this far-reaching impact. Japan’s rapid economic development was interrupted, and the country fell into a stagnation that lasted for thirty years or more.
He sighed: "Zhao De, you are exactly the same as the solution I thought of. Do you now understand the reason why I want to add Tokyo to the first step I took?"
I understand, I really understand the exchange rate, Tan Zhenhua must have foreseen that at some point in the future, the exchange rate of US dollar to Japanese yen will undergo a major change before he wants to arrange all this in advance!
You know, from the first day Tan Zhenhua entered the financial market, the exchange rate has been his most advantageous weapon to fight the enemy and strengthen himself. From Hong Kong to London, he has proven this many times.
"So Zhenhua, when do you think this incident will break out?" Yu Pengxia, who was silent for a long time, asked. He was really curious about how Tan Zhenhua's foresight ability or the crow's mouth would manifest itself.
"This question, I think so," Tan Zhenhua replied in a joking tone. "The current Japanese country is like a pig raised in a pen. Regardless of its fat and strong body, it looks like a majestic pig. It's a pity that it is only food raised by others. Since it is food, of course it is necessary to wait for it. Killed when the fattest is strongest, and you can eat the most meat, right?"
Yu and Guo couldn't help laughing. Guo Zhaode said, "Zhenhua, your metaphor is too bad, but it seems to be right... So when is it?"
"Well, it won't be too long, just a few years, you will know in advance, I promise, after all I want to rush to divide a big piece of fat!"
