Chapter 937: Big Tom and Kotaro

Tan Zhenhua put down the phone and finally made a decision after careful consideration for a long time that he must leave.
Although he was really reluctant.
Thousands of people worked together, all of whom ignored the scorching heat of Guangnan’s summer and the unbearable sultry heat in the cabin, swaying sweat that could never be wiped off, showing all their enthusiasm and exerting their best efforts, just for Hurry up and enter all the structural drawings of an aircraft carrier into the computer.
Such a scene of unity and collaborative work makes it easy for everyone involved in this matter to be deeply infected and intoxicated, and it is easier for people to boil and consciously become a part of it. Tan Zhenhua is no exception.
However, he is actually no longer needed here. He has done everything he can, what should be done, and what can be done. The remaining ones are Yang Yan, Zhu Yingfu, Cao Hongxi, Zhang Shaozhong, Guo Rongwei and their areas of expertise. They can't help either, just like the things he is going to do now, they can't help either.
And he must do it immediately, because the shelf life of a message worth one hundred thousand dollars may expire at any time.
Time is running out, and he didn't even have time to go to Xiangjiang, which is close at hand, to celebrate with all his friends and elders that the joint statement on Hong Kong's return to China signed by China and Britain took effect on May 27.
Xiangjiang on that day should be very lively, right? In the cabin of the night flight, he thought, looking at the dark ocean under the wings.
...
New York, Wall Street.
"Eric, you came just right. I heard some news related to the advice you gave me last time. I want to confirm to you again that the incident about the exchange rate of the country will really happen this year?"
Tan Zhenhua replied with an expression of astonishment: "Philip, I remember that I should have said this to you half a year ago. You won't tell me. You haven't taken any action yet, have you?"
Philip Abramo spread his hands in a bit embarrassed manner: "Eric, I don’t believe you, but I have always been dealing with the stocks of small and medium-sized companies on Wall Street. For the exchange rate you mentioned, I’m not Too good."
"Then my dear Mr. Philip, can I ask you how you operate the stocks of small and medium companies?"
"Oh, that's too simple, Eric, you know, my messenger, Mr. Bloom, is very reliable. He always helps me find useful information. Well, he often helps me Deliver your opinions to the right people. You see, things are sometimes simple."
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said that he fully agreed with Philip's evaluation of Mr. Bloom's ability, and then said: "Philip, it seems that I must first thank you for teaching me your experience in operating stocks, um, in return and exchange, I will also tell you my experience in operating exchange rates-in fact, Philip, I think there is no difference between operating exchange rates and operating stocks. Based on your previous experience, we might as well make an interesting hypothesis and analogy. You will understand soon."
"Oh?"
"Once upon a time, there were two gentlemen, one of them was named Tom Big, and the other was named Little Taro. Mr. Big Tom’s house has always been very wide. Well, it can be regarded as the widest blue star; Mr. Kotaro used to be wide, but This person’s brain was a bit pitted. He actually tried to challenge Mr. Big Tom one day. Of course he had to be repaired by Mr. Big Tom. He was beaten so badly. The big watermelon fist was smeared. The spine has been interrupted, and the family property has been lost..."
Philip heard what Tan Zhenhua said interestingly, and couldn't help but urged with a smile: "Now Mr. Kotaro should learn how to behave, what about later?"
"Later, Kotaro couldn't beat him, so naturally he had to surrender. After he surrendered, he was relieved to serve as a servant of Tom's house. But here we have to praise. The skill of Mr. Kotaro in serving people is first-rate. "Blowing, pulling, playing and singing are all exquisite, sucking, slipping, hooking, licking, etc.", making Mr. Tom more comfortable serving him. By doing this, the more Tom sees him, the more pleasing he will be. Very loyal, and the family is really poor, so I handed over some of the unsightly properties of the family to Kotaro. As a result, it didn’t matter. Kotaro managed well, and soon became rich. He seems to be richer than the other servants in Big Tom's house by long-term labor and everything, and it has the meaning of challenging the master."
The smile on Philip's face gradually faded. He knew that Tan Zhenhua was about to get to the point, so he couldn't help but ask again: "I heard that you have an old saying in China, which seems to be called "The shop bullies the customer, the slave bullies the master", this little Taro I used to suffer from the loss of rice, and now I am making a fortune, I am afraid I will not be willing to remain a slave to Tom's house, right?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "Who said no? Big Tom is also aware of this problem. How can his "Blue Star First" brand name be challenged? So he planned to take some measures to beat Kotaro and control it by the way. The development momentum of Kotaro's family may still be able to pick up a handful of wool from Kotaro's family. But this is a bit difficult, because after decades of development, the industries that Big Tom was given to Kotaro have long been eaten by Kotaro. I changed my name and my surname, and became Kotaro's family. It is basically impossible to get it back now, so there is only one way."
"any solution?"
"Of course it is trying to prevent the goods produced by the Kotaro family's industries from being sold, Philip, think about it. If the things he produces have not been sold or sold well, can Kotaro's family continue to maintain the momentum of prosperity? "
"That is naturally impossible, but this method is easy to do, but how to implement it is a problem."
Tan Zhenhua applauded and laughed: "Philip, in your words, the most important thing about this method is actually implementation, but fortunately, there are two things in Big Tom’s house that are very strong and have been controlled very well. One of them is Big Tom. A bank opened by his family. His bank has the strength of the Blue Star first, and he also issued a kind of IOU called "dollar". Because Tom’s family has always been the largest wealthy blue star, his family’s issued IOUs are all Blue Star recognizes it, not only recognizes it, but also uses it for circulation transactions, because everyone thinks that Tom’s family is so rich and should not fall back on accounts. Therefore, the main commodity trade on Blue Star is also priced in US dollars. Of course, Kotaro’s family also has them. Banks have also issued an IOU called the "yen", and with the development of Kotaro's family in recent years, many people have recognized the yen, but it is still far from the international influence of the US dollar. "
It was the first time Philip heard someone call "currency" an "IOU", and he couldn't help but feel a little fresh, but after all, he has also been on Wall Street for many years, and he can be regarded as an "expert" in the financial industry. I think it makes a lot of sense—the IOU is actually a piece of paper pledged by the credit and physical assets of an individual or a unit. Thinking about it this way, what about currency? It's just that the mortgage is the national credit and national assets of the currency issuer.
Seeing that Philip understood what he meant, Tan Zhenhua continued with a smile: "Because when settlement between the various industries in Kotaro's family, all IOUs issued by his own family are used, but when foreign trade is settled, the settlement is from Tom's family. IOUs, so, there must be a settlement ratio between Tom’s IOUs and Kotaro’s IOUs. This is the exchange rate of USD to Japanese Yen. Well, look, Philip, you should know by now. How are the Toms planning to attack Kotaro's industry?"
After thinking about it for a while, Philip understood, and tentatively asked, "Is it true that as long as the yen appreciates against the U.S. dollar, the goods that are priced in Yen in Kotaro's house will be expensive if converted into U.S. dollars?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and replied: "Yes, the same product is more expensive, so fewer people naturally buy it, and it also leaves room for competition with cheaper products of the same kind. This is how Tom's family is prepared to deal with Kotaro's family. s method."
Philip carefully recalled the recent trade situation between the U.S. and Japan and the various trade frictions that had erupted. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, Eric, this is the best way for Big Tom's family, but There is another question. The current economic situation of Kotaro's family is very good. With the method you just mentioned, he can certainly see the harm it has caused to his family's economy. Then how can he be willing to bear this kind of loss?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "Why Philip, have you forgotten how you operate the stocks? Don't you know that in addition to the great bank, there is one thing that is also very good at Big Tom's?"
"What is it?"
"Of course it is the knife in your hand!"
