Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Prince Charles nodded and said, there are too many people here, it is not very convenient for two people to talk, he wished to leave here as soon as possible and go to a place with few people.

"Princess, what about you?"

Yang Chen turned his head to look at Princess Diana.

Princess Diana shook her head and said, "You guys go, I'm a little hungry and want to eat something here."

"Okay, Yu Fei, you stay here with Diana, and just order the hotel's French chef to prepare a delicious foie gras."

"Chen, I didn't expect you to remember what I like to eat."

Diana was a little surprised. She remembered that she liked to eat French foie gras, but she only casually mentioned it once in front of Yang Chen.

"it is necessary"

Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, a charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he fired at Diana directly in front of Prince Charles.

Diana rolled her eyes and said with a deliberately disgusted tone: "You guys have something to talk about quickly, don't bother us here."

"Prince, let's go, I'll take you upstairs to relax."

There are spa centers in Xiangjiang five-star hotels. The spa center of Mandarin Oriental Hotel is a relatively famous service item. Yang Chen sometimes feels tired, so he likes to come here to relieve his fatigue.

in the sauna

Prince Charles experiences an oriental sauna

Speaking of Europeans, except for Finland, few Westerners have the habit of sauna.

The reason why Finns like to go to the sauna is mainly because the weather in Finland is relatively cold. As one of the five Nordic countries, one-third of Finland’s land is within the Arctic Circle.

Therefore, Finland is in the severe cold season for more than half a year every year. Due to climate reasons, sauna has become an indispensable living habit for Finns.

Yang Chen doesn't know if the British like to go to the sauna, anyway, seeing Prince Charles' performance, he obviously doesn't dislike it.

Prince Charles asked while wiping his sweat, "Chen, can you tell me about your current economic views on the island country?"

"What's your opinion on the island country's economy?" Yang Chen frowned slightly, and then asked, "What kind of opinion do you want?"

Prince Charles said: "I know that you never fight uncertain battles. This investment in the island country has been reported by the media all over the world. Such a large deal shows that you are very optimistic about the future economy of the island country."

"However, after experiencing the oil crisis, the island country has experienced rapid growth for 20 consecutive years, and it has slowly slowed down."

"I don't understand why you are still so optimistic about the island country's economy at this time. I have always thought that you are a very rational person. It is impossible to do something that is not beneficial for no reason. Can you tell me your reason?"

Yang Chen glanced at Prince Charles, and asked, "Prince, why do you want to know the reason?"

Prince Charles shrugged without concealing it, and said bluntly: "Frankly speaking, I made money with you last time. If possible, I would like to make more money with you."

Yang Chen was taken aback after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing: "Prince, this doesn't sound like what you said, I think you should be more sincere."

"I'm serious, Chen," said Prince Charles.

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

"As you said, Prince, after the oil crisis, the high growth rate of the island countries has slowed down. If the impact of the oil crisis continues, it will be difficult for the island countries to restore their previous growth rate."

"Of course, even if the oil crisis passes, it is already a miracle that the island country, as a resource-poor country, can maintain high-speed economic growth for 20 years."

"This kind of miracle, after the oil crisis, may be difficult to replicate. This is not only the opinion of economic experts in other countries, but also the opinion of economic experts in island countries."

"The era of high economic growth in the island countries has passed, and it will be good if the island countries can keep their economies from regressing in the face of an increasingly serious economic crisis."

Hearing this, Prince Charles looked at Yang Chen, and became more and more curious. He was not surprised that Yang Chen could analyze these things so thoroughly.

What he was curious about was, since Yang Chen knew all of this, why did he do the opposite, borrowing so much money from several major consortiums in the island country, and then put all the loaned money into the island country market.

This was something he couldn't figure out, so Prince Charles didn't interrupt rashly, but quietly waited for the next article.

"Many people only see the high economic growth of the island countries. They only see that the island countries are affected by the oil crisis. blow."

"At least so far, apart from the manufacturing industry being affected by the decline in global trade, the island country has experienced export difficulties, but its domestic stock market and financial industry have not been greatly affected..."

"In contrast, the United States, Europe, and Latin American countries have all been severely impacted by the oil crisis, and their currencies have depreciated, including the US dollar. After the outbreak of the oil crisis, many countries have experienced various problems."

"The national economy is the same as a person's illness. When a person is sick, he can take medicine to solve the problem, but when the national economy is sick, sometimes it can be transferred in various ways."

"For example, war!"

"War?" Prince Charles' eyes widened.

"Yes, that's right, it's war."

"However, I am not referring to bloody wars like World War I and World War II, but more peaceful financial and currency wars."

Chapter 892 How Sure?

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Prince Charles fixed his eyes on him, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Although the United Kingdom has lost its national power and influence rapidly since the end of World War II, as its former colonies became independent one by one.

But it is undeniable that in the international community, Britain is still a big European country, or a strong country.

Yu Wei, who once dominated for more than a century, with the influence of English, is enough for the British to continue eating their old books for decades.

The background of the Plaza Accord was that in the early 80s, the U.S. fiscal deficit increased sharply, and the foreign trade deficit increased sharply. There is such an agreement that the yen appreciates and the dollar depreciates.

The reason why the Ministry of Finance of the island country agreed to sign the Plaza Agreement and did not refuse the appreciation of the yen was that apart from being oppressed by several major powers in Europe and the United States headed by the United States, the other reason was that the domestic economy of the island country was overheated at this time, and there was not much room for growth. Urgent need to develop and expand overseas markets.

The appreciation of the yen can help island country companies expand overseas markets and allow island country companies to spend less money to acquire more overseas companies.

Everyone in later generations knows that after the 80s, with the appreciation of the yen, the islanders bought and bought in overseas markets.

There is a saying in later generations that the overseas industries of the island countries are higher than the domestic GDP of the island countries, which is twice or twice that of the island countries. Although the appreciation of the yen has slowed down the growth of the island countries’ local economies, and even experienced negative growth for a time, it has allowed the island countries to have a large number of enterprises. overseas assets.

It can be said that the real estate bubble in the entire island country only suffers from the people at the bottom of the island country, while the island country government and its consortia, on the contrary, have a longer-term development of the island country's economy in future generations due to its huge overseas industries.

After the bursting of the bubble economy in the 90s, the island countries of later generations have always been ranked behind the United States in terms of economic aggregate. Except for the sudden emergence of inland countries, almost no other country has surpassed it economically.

From this point, it is not difficult to explain that some things cannot be blindly looked at on the surface, and only by in-depth understanding can we know more of the truth.

The U.S. dollar is a global currency, especially after World War II. In order to restore their economies, European countries received a lot of aid from the United States. Apart from materials, a large part of these aids was the U.S. currency dollar.

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, before the establishment of the European Union, and before the emergence of the euro, the United States firmly controlled the economies of European countries with the dollar.

This is also an important reason why European countries have been deeply affected by the previous financial crisis in the United States, and it is also the reason why some people in later generations say that the United States kidnapped the whole of Europe with the dollar.

It is the unanimous decision of the United States, Britain and France to promote the appreciation of the yen, solve the economic crisis in the United States, trade deficits, and suppress the island country, a defeated country in Asia. This decision is definitely not the head of the three countries. decided.
