Chapter 884: Reminder or warning


"Mr. President, hello, this is Tan Zhenhua, you can call me Eric."
"Then Mr. Eric, hello, look, I have received your letter and accepted your invitation, now you can tell me what you want to talk to me."
After briefly introducing the two of them, Kumagaigawa retired very consciously, and at the same time gently closed the door, leaving only Sawa Masaichi and Tan Zhenhua in the room for a close conversation. He knew that this might become a history. The moment of sex, and he has also become the person who influenced the development of history.
"Talk about some interesting little things that have happened in the past few decades, Mr. President, if you are interested and have time."
"Mr. Eric, I came here specially from Tokyo just to hear you talk about these interesting little things, okay?"
"Of course, Mr. President, depending on your age, you must have experienced a period of leap-forward economic development in the Japanese country. That is, because of the outbreak of the Korean War, the Americans gave a large number of military supplies orders to the Japanese country for production, which stimulated the total GDP of the Japanese country. During the period of rapid growth from 15.1 billion USD in 1951 to 1.24 trillion USD in 1983, it must be said that in 30 years, the total economic volume has increased by more than 80 times, which is the same worldwide. A miracle."
Masazu Zuo nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Tan Zhenhua’s statement. As a Japanese man who has grown up during this exciting period of history and has spent most of his career, this is what he has always done. One point of pride, he believes that it is the struggle of his generation that has created the prosperity of the Wa country today.
"But what I want to discuss with you today is just a small issue in this period of history-about the economic and trade frictions between the U.S. and the U.S. After my research, the development of the U.S. industry and economy will inevitably be with the U.S. There have been economic frictions in different industries in different periods. Mr. President, I have some information here. You may be interested to take a look."
Zuobozheng frowned slightly, because Tan Zhenhua mentioned a country that is very sensitive to the Japanese people—the U.S.'s significant influence in the economic development of the country. However, he still accepted the document handed over by Tan Zhenhua. Look through.
And Tan Zhenhua continues his short story:
"Since 1955, with the acquiescence of the U.S., the U.S. began to export a large number of fiber products such as towels, metal tableware, folding umbrellas and other groceries to the U.S. Since the average labor cost of the U.S. during the same period was much lower than that of the U.S., these were cheap. Commodities quickly flooded the U.S. market. By 1968, the U.S. exports to U.S. turned black, which triggered the first U.S. rice trade dispute. The U.S. people demanded that the U.S. restrict imports of all kinds of goods from the U.S., especially The amount and quantity of finished fiber products is a long-term negotiation. The Japanese fiber industry believes that export restrictions are related to its life and death and strong resistance. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement in 1971, and the reason for that agreement was that both parties agreed. Acceptable conditions are achieved because the oil crisis that broke out that year gave everyone a chance to step down in a dignified manner, and the Japanese countries have also begun to make industrial transformations, transferring low-end fiber reprocessing industries to other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia that are cheaper. This country focuses on the production of high-tech raw materials."
This is a seemingly remote and irrelevant topic, but Tan Zhenhua said it very seriously, and Saha Masaichi also seemed to listen very intently.
"Since 1976, as countries gradually got rid of the oil crisis, the goods exported by the Japanese countries have undergone a fundamental change. Among the products exported from rice, industrial products such as household appliances and special steel accounted for a large share, while the United States started The Japanese government was required to purchase a large amount of its agricultural products such as beef and oranges. At this time, these categories of commodities have become the center of the second trade friction between Japanese rice and rice.
"The next situation developed faster. Entering the 1980s, the automobile manufacturing industry in the country began to rise, and industries such as industrial machine tools and semiconductors also developed by leaps and bounds. The center of gravity of the trade friction between the two countries shifted to the machinery industry and electronics. In terms of industrial equipment and high-tech products, for Toshiba, the industry that currently has the most competitive advantage compared to the United States is undoubtedly semiconductors. If more accurately, it is DRAM."
Saba's eyebrows rose, and he felt as if he understood what the young man in front of him was trying to say.
"Mr. Eric, what do you mean is that the friction between the U.S. and Japan in the semiconductor industry will become more intense?"
"It's not going, but it's now." Tan Zhenhua corrected: "From the current point of view, the Japanese nation has achieved an overwhelming advantage in all aspects. From the perspective of the most typical product of semiconductor devices, DRAM, the Japanese nation is catching up with the development and production of 16K chips. After leveling the United States, 64K chips began to lead, 128K chips completed the surpass, and now 256K has achieved an absolute advantage. In the global 100 billion US dollars semiconductor market, it has occupied more than 60% of the market share. If you look at DRAM alone, it even exceeds 90%, if this is a battle, I have to say that the country has won victory."
Sawa Masaichi’s face showed some pride, because Toshiba, but the largest semiconductor company in the country, according to Tan Zhenhua’s statement, the country is in the semiconductor war-in fact, in the country, the relevant personnel in the industry are also This is called this fierce competition with the United States and won, so there is no doubt that Toshiba is the biggest contributor to this battle!
Of course it is also the biggest gainer.
Looking at the smug look on Masazu Zuo's face, Tan Zhenhua's mouth was filled with a smile. People who are familiar with him can understand the hidden meaning behind that smile.
That was the expression after watching the prey step into the trap he had set up.
"Mr. President, I wonder if you have heard an old Chinese saying?"
"Mr. Eric, the culture of China has a long history and profoundness. I don't know which sentence you said?"
"It's just this sentence: Misfortune comes to be relied on, good fortune comes to misfortune."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Eric, I don't understand too much?"
"This sentence comes from the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Zi, a famous thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. It means that good and bad are interdependent and transform each other, and good and bad are caused by each other. Bad things can lead to good results, and good things can also lead to causes. In the event of bad results, everything has its two sides.
The expression on Masazu Sawa's face was serious. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Mr. Eric, how should I understand what you mean by this? Is it a kind reminder or a threatening warning?"
