Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

"In this case, let's exchange interests with them to see who is the real winner in the end."

Chapter 879 Divide

When Yang Chen said this, his face was really blushing and he was not out of breath.

In the 80s, the United States forced the yen to appreciate in order to solve its own export deficit problem. The dramatic changes in the exchange rate behind it caused book losses on assets composed of US treasury bonds.

In this case, the Americans immediately flowed a large amount of funds into the island market to avoid the risk loss caused by the exchange rate.

As soon as American capital moved, other international capital followed suit, and a large amount of international hot money poured in. The direct consequence was that the island country's stock market and real estate industry soared.

As we all know, the stock market and real estate are two industries that are second only to the profits generated by arms sales.

Due to the large influx of international hot money in the stock market and real estate of the island country, the stock price and housing price are rising day by day. Naturally, the island people cannot just watch others come to their homes to earn their own money.

As a result, the island country's own national money did not pour into the dwindling manufacturing industry, but all poured into real estate and the stock market, and together with international capital, raised the book value of the two industries.

The increase in book assets has stimulated the desire for consumption, which has led to the continuous growth of consumer demand in island countries and further stimulated economic development.

However, this separation from the normal economic development resulted in the bubble blowing bigger and bigger.

Without a physical manufacturing industry, the exports of island country companies are showing a downward trend. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to resource-poor island country manufacturing.

In the late 80s, after the decline in the export of low-end and mid-end manufacturing industries, the island countries had no choice but to turn to the strategy of "building the country with technology" and began to vigorously encourage scientific research and development in order to maintain their own competitive advantages in the high-end manufacturing field.

In terms of high-end manufacturing, the island countries of later generations do not have the strength to say that, but if a country only relies on high-end manufacturing, it will not be able to become a powerful country, and it will not be conducive to its own economic development.

Losing the middle and low-end basic industries is like a building. Although it looks towering, there is always a certain risk due to the unstable foundation.

In the 21st century, why is the inland increasingly prominent in the international status?

It's not that the inland high-end manufacturing industry is so powerful, it's mainly the low-end and mid-end industries that allow Chinese manufacturing to go global and bring influence.

Once the inland market is closed in later generations, most countries in the world will be affected. This impact is from top to bottom, involving all aspects, rather than the simple economic impact of the lack of that part of the car or the lack of the chip of the mobile phone. .

The middle and low-end industrial chain is the closest and most closely related to the lives of ordinary people, while the high-end industrial chain, to be honest, even if it has a certain impact, it will not affect the normal life of ordinary people at the bottom.

If it cannot affect the normal life of the people at the bottom, it will be difficult to form a large influence, and it will be difficult to make other countries make compromises.

Take South Korea as an example. South Korea likes to trouble the island country with historical issues. In order to beat South Korea, the island country always restricts South Korea in the export of high-tech products.

And this kind of restriction has never made South Korea really succumb, because high-tech products cannot really affect the normal life of the Korean people.

Without the autonomy of the army and the basic manufacturing industry, the island nation is equivalent to losing two arms and two legs. In the end, all that is left is a body that maintains life and brains.

Why do people in later generations always say that the island country is a piece of meat, a piece of fat around the mouth of the United States, when the United States is hungry, and when it is needed, it will take a bite.

It is because the influence of the island country's economy on the world is not as great as imagined. High-tech products are sometimes not as important as food.

After the deindustrialization of the United States in later generations, it vigorously subsidizes its own agriculture and animal husbandry every year to maintain the interests of farmers and herdsmen.

The reason is very simple, because as long as people are alive, they have to eat, and they cannot do without food.

People cannot live without food, just like industry cannot live without oil.

Therefore, every time the United States sanctioned other countries in later generations, it first limited petrodollars, and then blocked food imports.

The impact of the rise in food prices is that the price rises immediately, and the people will not have enough to eat, and social turmoil will occur.

This is why island countries are resource-poor countries that need to import everything. Most of their land is not used for other more profitable things, but vigorously supports agriculture and encourages people to grow food.

However, it is a pity that the island country is too small in size and has a large population. No matter how hard it is, it is impossible to be truly self-sufficient in terms of food.

Under the constraints of various conditions, the island country does not have an advantage in all aspects, especially now that even the overlord, the United States, is playing its idea, the island country has no capital to confront other military and economic powers.

In the following five-nation square agreement, not only the United States will be divided into the cake of the island country, but several other European countries, as well as the world's capital forces that move after hearing the news, will participate.

It can be said that throughout the 80s, the wealth brought about by the island nation's economic miracle was almost divided by the capital forces of the entire world.

Time is running out, there is not much time left for Yang Chen to prepare.

The reason why he wanted to contact the major chaebol forces in the island country was to occupy the most favorable position as quickly as possible.

After sending Li Guowei away, Yang Chen found Yuan Tianfan again.

Li Guowei is in charge of real estate in the island country, and someone is also in charge of the stock market.

According to the statistics of later generations, the island countries were in the Plaza Agreement and after the appreciation of the Japanese currency.

Its stock market has risen by 30.00% every year, while the real estate industry has only an average of 15.00%.

Of course, this is an average, not all stocks and real estate are only up 30.00% or 15.00%.

Some industries whose stock prices have risen sharply, such as retail stocks, automobile stocks, entertainment and media stocks, etc., will inevitably have a wave of rising climaxes as the people of the island countries spend more.

In order to further make money from the island country, Yang Chen is already preparing to list his orange technology on the island country's Tokyo Stock Exchange at the end of the year.

In this way, once the stock price of the island country goes up, the U.S. side will follow suit, and if he wants to sell it, he will be able to obtain greater benefits.

At the same time, you can also earn a wave of exchange rates.

There is one more thing that Yang Chen has never dared to forget, that is the global stock market crash in [-], that historical moment known as "Black Monday" in the world.

The most serious economic crisis broke out in the United States since World War II, the stock market crashed, and the entire U.S. stock market plummeted.

His investment in the United States must be fully withdrawn before [-]. By being optimistic about the economy of the island country, he will withdraw funds from the United States and invest in the stock market and real estate industry of the island country.

The global stock market crash in [-] affected the island countries in the early stage. After the stock market fell, it immediately resumed its rise. This wave of sharp rise did not really fall from the top until the end of [-] when the bubble economy was punctured.

It lasted for two full years in the middle, and when the U.S. stock market had almost fallen, it was possible to withdraw from the island country and buy the bottom of the U.S. stock market.

Come and go, don't be too sour.

Chapter 880 Tokyo Is Clean? ?

end of May

Yang Chen left the increasingly chaotic Xiangjiang

boarded the plane to the island

This is his first trip to an island country. Compared with going to other countries, he still has a lot of resistance to the island country in his heart.

As a young man in the 21st century who grew up watching anti-Japanese dramas

To be honest, it is absolutely impossible for you to ask Yang Chen to have a good impression of the islanders. Not only Yang Chen alone, but many people of the same generation as him don't have a good impression of the islanders.

Speaking of it, Yang Chen's generation can be said to be the generation most deeply influenced by the culture of the island country. At that time, the anime and games of the island country almost swept the entire inland.
