Reborn American Tycoon

　If you don't tip or give less to the parking guy, your car may encounter misfortune.The oil on the floor is just a cloud, and there may be scratches in places you don't pay attention to.

　As for restaurants or coffee shops, it's okay not to tip, so don't go there again.It will be passerby A who will tip. If you don't give it, someone will spit on your plate next time.

　In economic society, don't talk about professional ethics. If you have money, you have morality. If you don't have money, you don't have it. There is nothing to say about it.

　Even with such poor service, not many people are willing to work in these industries.Or to put it bluntly, immigrants and ethnic minorities make up the majority.Those lofty Anglo-Saxons, they would rather go on the dole.

Chapter 316 The concubine really can't do it (repair)

　Compared with the United States, Japan's service industry is completely different.Expensive is really expensive, service is really good.Others may not be obvious. There is no way to compare the gap between the taxi and express delivery industry, Japan and the United States.

　"Is this a smoking car?" Looking at the slightly yellowed dining table, William White was very surprised. Nima, if you didn't tell me, I would have thought it was a dining car.This is how many people smoke here to smoke the dining table into yellowish brown.

　"Boss, there are not many passengers on the JR line now. Because of the Shinkansen, those who choose to take the JR line are old people. They don't lack time, or they don't know how to kill time."

　"That's not what I meant, Fujita, you see, ordinary cars are just fine, even in smoking cars, there are no cigarette ashes and butts.

　If it is in the United States, is it possible? "William White shook his head with a wry smile. The most distinctive feature of American subways is graffiti, and the easiest smell is the smell of urine. Los Angeles is better, if it is New York. There are some special lines, it is best to forget it alone, basically you can shoot A movie, the name is New York Subway Adventures.

　I have seen locomotive scheduling and maintenance.William White is a little annoyed. Is it really possible for the stuff here in Japan to be copied in the United States?

　"Fujita, next?"

　"Boss, the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. It should be said that this is the most important line in Japan. In a sense, it has a lot of similarities with the California high-speed rail."

　"Similar? Well, I understand. It's impossible to build from New York to Washington. It would be a deadly project."

　Japan can use a railway to connect the Kanto and Kansai, but the United States has no way to connect the north and the south.The first is that the land area is too large, and the second is that it is really unnecessary.

　"Filson, what's up with Disney lately? Are their services up?"

　Felson was taken aback for a moment, he was thinking about what the boss said just now.But what the hell is this Disney.

　"Service? Boss, the profits here in Los Angeles are increasing, but there are also a lot of troubles. As far as I know, the guild has made troubles at least three times this year. Although it was suppressed strongly later, there are always hidden worries."

　The corner of William White's mouth twitched violently, Nima, how is it compared to Japan, Felson didn't say anything.So, the meaning is already very clear, now they are going to rebel, what do you think?

　"Filson, how does this Shinkansen compare to the JR just now?"

　"Boss, it seems a bit difficult to provide such meticulous service."

　"Hehe, it's not that it's difficult, it's that it's impossible. My God, it would be a disaster if the management should be entrusted to Japan.

　Fortunately, it is just an experimental circuit, we can make appropriate adjustments.However, I don't expect to have the same capacity anymore, it's not realistic.

　As for smoking rooms, this is strictly prohibited.Smoking is not allowed anywhere. "

　Felson is also a bit big-headed. He has done his homework and knows what the trains in the United States look like now.Not to mention the Shinkansen, even the JR line, the gap is not 01:30.It takes twelve hours to travel [-] kilometers from San Francisco to Los Angeles, which is very illustrative.

　"Boss, if you refer to Japan, this is basically an airplane with wheels."

　Well, William White is a little confused.However, it seems to make sense!

　"Yes, you're right, that's it."

　Looking at the bewildered Filson, William White couldn't help but smile wryly.It seems that he did take it for granted that it is easy to buy high-speed rail, and technology is not a problem.The most troublesome thing is the service.

　"Filson, I'm thinking about buying an airline.

　By the way, after going back, no matter what else, first prepare for this aspect.

　Also, go back and immediately rectify Disney and increase the proportion of trainees.Those guys who don't know the so-called are all fired.

　What are you afraid of on strike? I have no money to pay for it?Let those bastards come to Disneyland in Tokyo to see, this is the service.

　Do you know why my daughter came to Japan?She wants to go to Disney.Oh my god, there is a bigger one at the door, why did she come to Japan.

　Tell Michael Eisner I'm running out of patience, don't push me to move management. "

　"Okay, boss, I'll make a note."

　Having been in a high position for so many years, even if he doesn't have the aura of domineering, it is enough to make people startled.William White's style has always been relatively tolerant. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is generous or conniving.After all, these people around him have followed him for many years, and they have worked hard without credit.

　Generally speaking, as long as it is not a matter of principle, he will not lose his temper.Because it was really unnecessary, the legal department of the think tank teamed up, and the group of professional managers were pretty well-behaved.

　This time was different, because he was surprised to find out.There seems to be some problems with their own management.

　Of course, Filson and Fujita on the opposite side also had big heads.The boss took it for granted this time, even if you have money, it seems that you can't do it.

　In the concept of the American people, there is no such thing as service at all.What about the airlines, it's just that there are some more beautiful girls.

　Boss, do you think the current flight attendants have any services?

　If you think about it too much, it's your private flight attendant. Of course, there's nothing to say about this, because you paid enough money.

　"It's less than three hours, about twice as slow as an airplane." William White raised his wrist to look at his watch. It cost about US$100, which is not expensive.Of course, on the route from Los Angeles to San Francisco, some economical flights cost only a few dozen US dollars.

　"Boss, the time is actually about the same. The airport is generally far away from the city, but the Shinkansen is different. You can step on the Shinkansen, and the plane should be at least three or ten minutes earlier. By the way, there is also time for security checks and the like."

　William White did not refute Fujita's words.Basically what he said was correct, and he couldn't refute it.However, domestic flights before 911/[-] were as casual as you want.Not to mention the sloppy security check, Nima was selling tickets a few minutes before takeoff.

　Due to fierce competition, airlines are trying to accommodate more people.Ever since, they invented the special economy class.

　Well, you just wait, if someone delays, you can just fill in.The airlines have calculated that hundreds of people fly a plane, and for one reason or another, there will always be a certain percentage of people who will not be able to catch the plane.

　Ever since, part of the oversold is a special ticket.

　If it is full, I'm sorry, there is no compensation for this kind of special ticket, you can transfer to the next one.Of course, if your luck is really that bad, the airline will make up for it to some extent, usually with benefits such as free tickets.

　Well, this trick was also learned by the big rabbit later.However, they only learned half of it.Overselling has become an international practice. As for compensation, that is a feature.

　Generally speaking, for a distance of about [-] kilometers, the plane was slightly faster.If your final destination is downtown, then the time gap will not be greater than an hour.

　This is still Japan. On the road from Tokyo to Osaka, more than a dozen stations need to be stopped.If it is placed in California, there are actually not so many sites, or William White simply does not have this will.

　Unless you have a sufficient population base, you don't even have to think about it. Even if there is a high-speed rail passing by, it will never stop.Two and a half hours, this is William White's plan, and if there is no force majeure, this will inevitably be the final result.

Section 317 Lack of Investment Syndrome

　Along the way, William White has already had concerns about the direction of the California high-speed rail.Meaningless, the Germanic technology is more advanced, and from a security point of view, it seems to be very powerful.But still the same sentence, what suits you is the most suitable.

　Of course, this guy came to Japan with great fanfare, definitely not for some high-speed rail technology.There is a bit too much money in the pocket, and seeing that the Internet bubble is about to burst, White Investment has once again increased its selling efforts.In William White's view, this bubble seems to be about to collapse immediately.

　There is no way to watch the current financial channel. It seems that there are miracles everywhere.In the eyes of ordinary American imperialists, even if there are a few more William Whites, it seems that there is no need to make a fuss.

　"Shinsaibashi?"

　"Yes, boss, the busiest business district in Osaka." After dinner, William White declined the company of Japanese officials. In fact, they didn't care anymore. The negotiating team from the US imperialists came, and these guys were what they needed. Headache.

　"Sure enough, it's different from the scenery of Ginza." Looking at the obviously smaller buildings, William White felt a little bit pained.In the eyes of William White, these buildings in Japan are really a bit wretched.You said, why do you squeeze all these buildings into a pile.Tokyo is better, and the Bay Area can still see a bit of a metropolis, but as for Osaka, it always feels depressing.

　After taking stock of his assets, William White was surprised to find that even he didn't seem to know what to invest in Japan.

　During the bubble economy, projects that could stimulate economic development were basically exhausted.Not to mention infrastructure construction, there is already serious duplication of investment.From highways to high-speed rails, everything worth building has basically been completed.

　"Fujita, if I give you ten trillion pills, what can I invest in Japan?"

　Uh, it seems that Fujita has seen some things in the world, and was also taken aback by William White's words.Nima, if this is bubble crisis money, although it is scary, it will not be like it is now.

　"There is no way, let alone investment, even value preservation is enough. The current inter-bank lending has basically stagnated. In such an environment, the bigger the investment, the harder it is to make."

　"Stagnation?" William White stopped and looked at Fujita with interest.

　"How do you say that, let's talk about it carefully."

　"Small balls for ten people."

　Looking at the octopus balls that this fellow ordered, Fujita's head was full of black lines.Nima, boss, can you be more reliable? A group of guys in suits and leather shoes surround this small stall. People think it is a club that collects money.

　Sure enough, the guy who sold the little balls was a little surprised.But it was nothing but shock, William White handed over ten thousand Dan, and this fellow had no other thoughts.

　Even though William White is no longer young, he will definitely not be able to get enough of the banquet in Japan.Don't look at dozens of dishes at every turn, this thing is similar to feeding cats, which means something.

　Of course, octopus balls are useless, and this is also what his daughter often sees eating. Out of curiosity, I will try it myself today.

　"Boss, before this, inter-bank lending was very frequent, with a deposit of 10 yuan, they dared to do business of 100 million yuan or even more.

　But with the collapse of the real estate bubble, the collateral in the hands of banks has shrunk a lot.That's not enough, the current problem, no matter whether you borrow or take out a loan, no one is willing to accept real estate or land as collateral. "

　Today's William White is not the Wuxia Amon in his previous life. He understood Fujita's words as soon as he heard it.

　Including the rabbit country of later generations, although the whole world is avoiding a topic, it is helpless that no matter how high-sounding your reasons are, the financial attributes of real estate cannot be deprived.

　Housing is not speculated, this is just a dream.All over the world, the most common collateral, other than real estate, seems to be securities.

　The current situation in Japan is that real estate and land have lost their financial attributes, which is terrible.As we all know, in the craziest era of Japan's bubble, only one land price in Tokyo could buy four lands in the United States.

　As for now, a 90% drop in housing prices is already enough, but the problem is that a 110% drop is useless, and the banks still don't buy it.You know, if you mortgage your land and house in 10 years, the bank will give you a loan of up to [-]%.Well now, let alone a [-]% increase in valuation, no one is willing to accept mortgages if it falls by [-]%.

　Therefore, Japan now is a pool of stagnant water.Bubbles may be illusory, not shrinking valuations.After all, a considerable part of land and real estate has actually been capitalized.

　"Fujita, I know what you said. The only thing I don't understand is how many years have passed. It should have ended long ago, right? It's time to liquidate, to make a comeback, what's going on with this half-dead state?"

　Fujita is speechless, haven't you seen that the officials of the Ministry of Finance have changed?

　The ghosts of the Bank of Japan are well known to the consortium and the officials.They are actually waiting, as long as the prices of land and real estate rebound, then the activity of the market will naturally rise.

　Isn't this the Asian financial crisis coming again?

　The government has no money to rescue the market, and calls on these banks to bleed themselves to save themselves. If the yen really collapses, everyone may be beaten back to their original shape.

　Unfortunately, the bank refused.It was also at this time that the Ministry of Finance discovered the problem.One of the most important responsibilities of this institution in Japan is to supervise financial institutions.

　"They dare not speak up, and they have to help the bank cover up the truth. Unfortunately, they waited for the worst moment."

　"Fuck, they still have money to lend me? These bastards are not fooling me, are they?"

　Fujita smiled bitterly, it wasn't a matter of not having money.Japan's savings rate keeps rising, and many people move their savings to larger banking institutions for fear of bank bankruptcy.Therefore, the big guys like Mitsubishi Mitsui are not short of money. On the contrary, the huge bank savings make these guys feel overwhelmed.

　Of course, William White doesn't care if these guys are dead or not.The only thing I'm curious about is why Buffett doesn't come to invest.In today's Japan, if you use the word fear, it may not be able to explain the problem.

　"Okay, back to Tokyo, you help me make an appointment with those chaebols.

　I think this is the best opportunity for us to fill in the last shortcoming in Asia. "

　"Uh, boss, what are you planning to do?"

　"White Plaza and White Center can be launched in Japan at the same time.

　Fujita, have you forgotten that I am also a real estate predator. "

　Not only Fujita was inexplicably shocked, but even Filson was dumbfounded.I don't know, I thought this little ball had shattered his head.

　Facing the astonishment of the two, William White did not explain anything.What can he say, there are many real estate crashes in this world, generally speaking, the [-]% discount is the end.That's it, and it's the worst kind, and it's usually not that bad.

　In today's Japan, it is impossible to get worse, so there is nothing to hesitate about.Even if it is impossible to make a huge profit that exceeds the average bond yield, it is not difficult.

　That being the case, how about playing the savior.At the very least, it can also reduce the hostility of some people.

　You see, although my buddies have sucked a lot of blood from you, but my buddies are rewarded.In other words, the buddies don't want to kill the pig right now.

Chapter 318 You just eat hairy pigs

　Just as William White had expected, this guy had just returned to the other courtyard in Tokyo, and the boss who came to visit in a hurry was simply a crucian carp in the river.

　Of course, it is not without doubts, but at this juncture, who can control so much.

　The decline in new housing construction data in the United States will cause panic in the market. I don’t know how to feel about the simultaneous stagnation of land and construction in Japan.I believe that if there is such a day, it will inevitably be a disastrous result.

　Japan's real estate market is weird, unlike most countries in the world.Even during the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, housing prices in Beverly and Long Island did not fall much.The current property market in Xiangjiang is also very sluggish, but if you look at the villas in Mid-Levels and Repulse Bay, they have fallen a little, but they didn't say how much discount they would offer.

　Japan is a bit of a pain in the ass, even in the most scarce Bay Area, housing prices are still plummeting.As far as this is still Tokyo, the rental market is very good.In the eyes of William White, this is simply incredible.Such an obvious investment opportunity, what are you waiting for?

　Foam?

　If it doesn’t exist, you can buy a high-end apartment with ten years’ rent. If you don’t invest at this time, what are you waiting for!

　You should know that the so-called 10% rate of return is an internationally accepted investment index.Once the rate of return is higher than this figure, investors basically have no risk.What I’m talking about here is only ordinary investors. If it’s corporate behavior, the situation is even more different.At the very least, everyone's cost of capital is different. Through various capital operations, William White will definitely be able to get a cheaper loan.

　What?Isn't the bank not accepting this kind of collateral?

　This is not absolute, you go to see how the enterprises in the rabbit country get loans.It doesn't matter if you don't have collateral yourself, just find a company of similar size to guarantee it.

　As for William White, he had plenty of collateral.Legendary World and Vikings, these are the coveted assets of Japanese banks. As long as you can confirm joint and several liability, they will not worry about the safety of funds.

　William White is high-spirited here, but the United States across the Pacific Ocean is not very strong.A bunch of retail companies gearing up to find out that although they have played a lot of tricks, this year's Thanksgiving season promotions are really not very effective.

　Uh, it looks like it has little to do with that guy.

　Online and offline retail sales data fell across the board, blinding the eyeballs all over the place.Of course, although the overall data is not good, a group of IT companies led by Compaq Apple still handed in a beautiful result.

　"Damn it, what is this? Is the strong stronger?"

　Looking at the shriveled little old man opposite, Buffett sneered.Old guy, if you don't touch Nasdaq, I guess you won't have tears.As for those who bet on the collapse of Nasdaq, they are afraid that they will collapse first.If possible, the person they want to kill the most should be the guy in front of them.

　Forget it, stay away from this guy, the old man is not benefiting, so please don't splash my blood all over.

　"Alan, what are you talking about? In the securities market, the most popular companies are of course the so-called leaders.
