Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

In the past, Alisa relied on her status as the little princess of Siemens to go out. Now she is recognized by the world relying on her ability and the relationship between Yang Chen. If she leaves Yang Chen, everything about her now may disappear with her.

On the other hand, Yang Chen needs to maintain the relationship with Alisa to stabilize the industry in Europe, and at the same time have a cooperative relationship with the Siemens family.

The current relationship between the two is that love is mixed with career, and career is mixed with emotion. Although they rarely get together, the connection has not been broken.

Of course, a person like Alisa would naturally have all kinds of overt and secret suitors. Although Charles Spencer was a few years younger than Alisa, age was not a big problem sometimes.

Chapter 917 NBC

Yang Chen thought for a while, then looked at Charles Spencer.

"You don't want to go to Li's voice, do you?"

Unexpectedly, Charles Spencer didn't hesitate at all, he just shook his head and said, "I want to go to NBC. I have a friend who works there. Yang, I heard that you are now the private majority shareholder of NBC."

Hearing that Charles Spencer didn't want to go to Li, Yang Chen let go of the vigilance in his heart, nodded and said: "It was reported in the newspaper before that I am indeed a private major shareholder of NBC."

Charles Spencer said: "Well, can you ask me to work as a shareholder representative for you at NBC, as well as a director and so on."

Yang Chen asked suspiciously: "Don't you want to be a reporter?"

Charles Spencer said: "This is not a conflict. I will be your shareholder representative and also work as a reporter. It's just that with your support, I can be more free at NBC."

Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately understood, and asked, "You want to work in America? You don't want to stay in Europe, right?"

Charles Spencer said: "I would rather use my job as a reporter to travel around the world."

NBC is the abbreviation of the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, one of the three major commercial broadcasting companies in the United States (the other two are CBS American Columbia Broadcasting Corporation and ABC, the full name of the American Broadcasting Corporation).

Headquartered in New York and established in [-], it is the oldest and most powerful commercial radio and television company in the United States.

When Yang Chen became the private major shareholder of NBC last year, it caused quite a stir, because Yang Chen's series of acquisitions made his news media group already have a huge influence in the three major regions of Asia, Europe and the United States, and the title of media tycoon , and was then buckled on his head.

Regarding Charles Spencer's request, Yang Chen did not immediately agree. This future generation is a famous playboy, and he doesn't want the other party to use his name to make trouble.

Although Yang Chen is only a large private shareholder of NBC, he cannot really make decisions about all major and minor matters of NBC, but with the rapid rise of CAA in the past two years, the American media industry will give him a bit of face from Boss Yang.

The richest man in the future generation will build a movie theater, and top stars from Europe and America will come to join him. Now he is much better than the richest man in the world.

Not only movie theaters, but also everything related to media and entertainment. Maybe he didn't control these companies from top to bottom. American law does not allow monopoly, but as a shareholder, he still has certain decision-making power and influence. of.

The media and entertainment are integrated. We all know how chaotic the entertainment circle is. It does not distinguish between East and West. He is afraid that Charles Spencer will go to the United States, and there will be no supervision around him. If something goes wrong, he will lose face. .

Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Prince Charles' room

Yang Chen and Prince Charles were discussing things while drinking red wine. Charles Spencer was not here.

The topic of discussion between the two revolved around the recent Plaza Accord.

Holding his wine glass, Prince Charles smiled and said, "Yang, congratulations, you won the bet again."

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "It's not a gamble, it's because I have good eyesight."

Prince Charles joked: "You really don't know modesty when you say this. I remember, you told me last time that modesty is your virtue."

Yang Chen shrugged and said: "I forgot to tell you at the time, but there is actually one more thing I didn't tell you later."

Prince Charles asked curiously, "Oh? What is it?"

Yang Chen said solemnly: "Excessive modesty is actually a kind of pride. A great man in the inland once said that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. I need to move forward step by step, and I can't lag behind anyone, so I can't be too arrogant. Be humble, that would make me proud."

After Prince Charles heard it, the corner of his mouth twitched vigorously. He found that Yang Chen's face was getting thicker and thicker, and he needed to continue to slowly adapt and get used to it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to chat well that day.

"Actually, many economists know that the island country's economy has been growing continuously for so many years. It is an oceanic island country that lacks resources and needs to import everything. Its GDP is close to that of the United States, the number one economic power."

"The development of the island nation's economy creates a lot of room for the yen to appreciate. Even if there is no Plaza Agreement, the yen will automatically rise."

"Both the United States and European countries want the yen to appreciate. Similarly, the economies of island countries also need the appreciation of the yen to provide assistance for the overseas expansion of island countries' companies. It is difficult for me to lose..."

After listening to the analysis, Prince Charles nodded in approval of Yang Chen's statement. Economists from all over the world have actually seen this. The news of the depreciation of the US dollar has actually appeared long ago.

Since the outbreak of the oil crisis, the price of energy in the United States has risen sharply, and the consumer price index in the United States has risen accordingly. There has been serious inflation in the United States, and its inflation rate once exceeded double digits.

For example, when people deposit their money in the bank, the actual rate of return at the end of the year is negative 12.4%. That is to say, people deposit their money in the bank, not only do not earn profits, but also suffer serious losses.

Faced with this situation, in order to control severe inflation, the Federal Reserve Board of the United States raised the official interest rate three times in a row in the late 70s and early 80s, and implemented a tight monetary policy.

The result of this policy of raising interest rates is that official interest rates and market interest rates in the United States are as high as double digits. In the short term, the real interest rate (the real rate of return after deducting inflation) is close to zero on average from the early 70s to the end of the 3s. Interest rates rose sharply by 5%-[-]%.

The high interest rate of banks has attracted a large amount of overseas funds to flow into the United States, causing the price of the dollar to soar. From the beginning of the 80s, when the interest rate of the Bank of America was adjusted, the exchange rate of the dollar rose by nearly 60% in just a few years. The exchange rate of the dollar against major industrial countries, surpassed the level reached before the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

The sharp appreciation of the dollar has led to the expansion of the U.S. trade deficit and the fiscal deficit of the U.S. government. Both of these problems need a depreciation of the U.S. dollar to solve the problem.

The depreciation of the U.S. dollar will not only allow the yen to appreciate, but also stabilize the pound, which is constantly depreciating due to the weakening of the country.

"However, I think this is just the beginning. If the island countries cannot stabilize their policies, solve the impact of the appreciation of the yen and the large-scale inflow of foreign capital."

"Then the consequences will be unimaginable, and the yen is likely to appreciate further. If the US government is determined to teach the islanders whose scars have healed and forget the pain, let them know who is the boss and who their government listens to. , then the appreciation of the yen must be larger than imagined.”

Chapter 918 Newport

The nature of the islanders has always been that when a villain succeeds, he becomes rampant.

Since the island nation’s economy has grown rapidly for 30 to [-] consecutive years, and its GDP has been getting closer to that of the United States, the top-down fear that the island nation once had toward the Americans has gradually diminished.

Well the scars forget the pain

Those who have milk are mothers, and those who have money are fathers.

The islanders have never thought about the reason why they recovered so quickly after the war, and the reason why they have created two or three decades of continuous high-speed economic growth is because of the support of the Americans. During the period, a large number of military supplies orders were given to the island countries, which led to the rapid rise of their manufacturing industries.

Buy short America, peacefully occupy America's voice.

It’s not just the voices that appeared after the Plaza Accord and the appreciation of the yen. Since the rise of the island nation’s manufacturing industry, island nation companies have been competing with American companies in the global market.

Those who can't be contested must be contested, and those who cannot be contested must be contested even more.

After the Plaza Accord, the island nation’s asset bubble was behind the short-selling of the island nation’s currency market. It was none other than a group of financial institutions on Wall Street in the United States. They led global financial speculators to sweep away the social wealth accumulated by the entire island nation for decades. null.

Throughout the modern economic history of the island country, since World War II, the island country's rapid economic growth in the past two to three decades, the oil crisis in the middle, and the economic crisis have not slowed down the island country's economy.
