Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981
Page 805
Hearing this, if Li Guowei didn't understand, he would be really stupid.
"Boss, what do you mean, the yen and the mark are likely to appreciate next?"
"It's obvious. The best way to solve the trade deficit is to reduce the export cost of domestic enterprises. Only when things are cheap can it be conducive to export competition..."
"But the governments of the island countries and West Germany. Will they agree to revalue their currencies?"
Once the yen and the mark appreciate rapidly, the international competitiveness of the export products of the island countries and West Germany will decline rapidly.
Faced with this kind of thing, any country will not easily agree to appreciate its own currency.
Yang Chen said with a faint smile: "Do you think that a government that even controls its own national defense force is in the hands of other countries, do they have the strength to resist and the courage to 'say no'?"
To say that currency appreciation is sometimes not necessarily a bad thing. The two countries targeted by the Plaza Accord, West Germany and the island countries, reacted differently in the last two countries.
With the appreciation of its national currency nearly doubling, West Germany is still developing in an orderly manner and has not been greatly affected.
And the island country, due to various reasons, in exchange for the 'disappeared decade'.
Chapter 878
Facing Yang Chen's rhetorical question, Li Guowei had nothing to say.
Just like what Yang Chen said, a government that doesn't even have the autonomy of its own country's army, how can they have the ability and courage to fight against a superpower.
Obviously, the more fun the island nation dances, the more wealth it shows, and the more memorable it is.
You must know that in the early European and American countries, most of the success of their industrial revolutions was due to plundering by force to promote the process of industrialization.
Although the United States was founded late, and most of the land was purchased with money, rather than using pure force to plunder.
However, please don’t forget that from top to bottom in the United States, whether it is political system or living habits, everything in it is actually inherited from the United Kingdom.
The blood flowing in Uncle Sam's bones also has the robber gene contained in the British, but it is different from the undisguised military aggression of European countries. wealth of the world.
Having said that, we must recognize one thing, that is, the economic regression of the island countries cannot be completely blamed on the fact that the major European and American countries forced the yen to appreciate.
We must know that Europe and the United States are not only targeting the island country in this matter, but also targeting West Germany at the same time.
The Plaza Accord, the Yen and the Mark appreciated simultaneously.
However, after the appreciation of the mark, not only did West Germany's economy not regress, but it also completed national reunification in the 90s. In the end, it only took 30 years to pay off all the arrears of World War I.
Tell me about West Germany's performance, can you say how much the currency appreciation has hurt West Germany?
Obviously, it can't.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the ten years of disappearance in the population of the island countries are entirely their own fault.
The so-called, do not do not die.
As mentioned before, the islanders are an extremely inferior and arrogant nation. At the same time, there is an almost paranoid gambling gene hidden in the bones of the islanders.
Since the end of World War II, the islanders have both hated and feared the United States, the overlord on their heads, but that kind of hatred is deeply buried in the islanders' hearts and they dare not show it.
Because of the hatred in their hearts, the islanders have been suffocating in their hearts. After the economic recovery after the war, and at the same time they have won the second place in the global economic aggregate. After the islanders forgot the pain on their bodies, their self-confidence began to slowly Swell up.
With the rapid appreciation of the yen, although the international competitiveness of Japanese companies has declined rapidly, the international status of the island country has been rising rapidly.
In the 80s, the island nation taught all countries what it means to be self-willed if you have money, and do whatever you want if you have money. '
Due to the rapid appreciation of the yen, the money in the pockets of the people of the island country suddenly doubled. This made the people of the island country, who had created an economic miracle in the past 20 years and their pockets were not enough, suddenly feel that they were not short of money.
Treat money like dung
The people of island countries who have never really enjoyed the benefits of a strong country have finally experienced the life of people all over the world serving them after the appreciation of the yen.
Rich people in the middle class, in order to gain more wealth for themselves, think more about investing, stock market, fund and other transactions, the stock market of the island country in the 80s, it was all the way red, and the market responded enthusiastically.
Except for the middle class, the lower-class petty bourgeoisie who have arrived, they do not treat themselves badly, enjoy life, improve their living standards, and become the pursuit of the people of the island country. Traveling and sweeping all major luxury goods in Europe and America are the favorites of petty bourgeois families in the island country in the 80s. doing things.
The middle and lower classes have enjoyed the dividends of the appreciation of the yen, which has opened a series of buying and buying models. The upper class of the island country is naturally unambiguous, especially the real estate tycoons of the island country. They also started to invest in real estate around the world.
Among them, the United States is the center, and the real estate tycoons of the island countries are clamoring for the peaceful occupation of the United States.
The so-called, the harder the pressure in the early stage, the greater the rebound in the later stage.
The sequelae left over from World War II broke out from top to bottom in the island nation in the 80s.
The aggrieved islanders have been suppressed for decades. After the appreciation of the yen, in the United States, under the world's one-stop shopping, they were finally released.
This is exactly the same as the performance of the people after the rise of the inland economy in later generations. As the national strength increases and the people's lives become more prosperous, the conditions displayed by the people of the two countries are exactly the same.
The only difference between the two
It should be on the national government
Inland is a truly independent country with a people's army that dares to confront the world-class US military, and its national defense is not restricted by any country.
The inland people have money and go out to pretend to be rich. There is no need to be afraid of not revealing their wealth, because behind us there is a strong motherland that protects our lives and property.
As for island countries, since the end of World War II, the United States has relaxed restrictions on the bottom society due to the passage of time.
However, the United States has never given up control of the high-level island countries, especially the military.
The powerful US military stationed in the island country is like a sharp sword hanging above the head. The people at the bottom of the island country can pretend to be rich with the American people.
But the island government can't
Without the barrel of a gun, the island government can't stand up.
Compared with the suzerain country next door, the United States' attitude towards island countries has always been to fight when they are disobedient, until you are hurt, and until you sing to conquer.
As for his boss's guess, Li Guowei has worked in the bank for so many years, so it is not for nothing.
Li Guowei sees what European and American countries look like more clearly than Yang Chen, after all, he came from that era.
"I remember that Prime Minister Palmerston of Britain in the [-]th century once said that between countries and countries, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
"Although this sentence sounds harsh, it is to grasp the most fundamental issue between countries."
"Island countries are now a piece of meat on the lips of the United States. Americans need it now, and sooner or later they will eat this piece of meat."
"And what we need to do is to occupy a favorable position as soon as possible before the Americans say anything, so that we can try our best to get enough benefits from the middle."
"You also said that the first-tier cities in the island country, especially Tokyo real estate, have seen rapid growth in recent years. Since this is the case, we need to hurry up."
"The governments of the island countries are now vigorously supporting the entertainment industry in their countries. Animation and games are the most important part of it. Those chaebol forces must be very greedy for our game companies now."
