Chapter 546: The Island Country Representatives Hit a Wall Again, Chen Xing Prepares for the Annual Technology Exhibition

After Chen Xing refused to reconcile, Hideki Kamioka convened another cabinet meeting to discuss how to save the economy overnight.

Ordinary people may not have felt how bad the island's economy is now, but they just feel that it is a bit difficult to find a job.

But Hideki Kamioka knows, and most members of the cabinet understand, that the island is only one step away from a large-scale bankruptcy wave.

Economic problems are like throwing a stone into the center of calm water. The first to feel the ripples are the central elite, followed by the rich, the middle class, the petty bourgeoisie...

Finally, the ordinary people at the bottom are late to realize it.

This is why, before every economic crisis, there are always some people who can get out of it, and there are always some people who don't know that they have experienced an economic crisis at all.

After the economic crisis comes, it is often the families between the rich and the well-off who are hurt. The economic crisis is like Thanos's snap of the fingers, which is a percentage deduction.

For example, you have 100 million Longguo currency, while Zhang San next door only has 1,000 yuan. With the advent of the economic crisis, the currency depreciates sharply. Assuming the depreciation rate is 25%, the money in your hand is equivalent to 25 million less, while Zhang San only loses 250 yuan.

When you have enough money in your hand, you will not feel the economic crisis.

You will only vaguely feel that wages are rising and prices are rising. One day, you will finally realize that you have experienced an unprecedented economic crisis.

This is not nonsense, but a true portrayal of many mountain families.

If you go to mountain families and ask what impact the financial crises in 1997 and 2008 have had on their lives, maybe they will ask what the financial crisis is.

As a member of the powerful class, Hideki Kamioka is a person at the center of the ripples and knows the pain earlier than other island countries.

But after several hours of meetings, it was almost dawn, and the island cabinet still did not give a new solution. It was still arguing about the three topics of borrowing money from the United States, cooperating with Longxing Group, and declaring national bankruptcy.

Just when Ueka Hideki was at a loss and looked worried, the new cabinet member Yokoi Tomohiko tried to suggest: "Why don't we bypass Longxing Group and talk directly to Longguo? As long as we reach a consensus with Longguo, Chen Xing will surely compromise."

The voice fell.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes with different expressions in the audience stared at Yokoi Tomohiko, the "newcomer", as if they wanted to see through him.

"I think it's okay. Although Chen Xing can represent Longxing Group, he cannot represent Longguo. As long as we reach a consensus with the latter, he will surely have to submit obediently."

"This is much more reliable than borrowing money from the United States and declaring national bankruptcy."

"That's right."

"Who should be sent to talk?"

Yokoi Tomohiko's opinion was adopted, and new problems arose.

In less than three seconds, everyone's eyes looked at a certain position again. The person sitting there was none other than Yoshida Kiyoshi, who was driven out by Chen Xing and looked like a lost dog.

Yoshida Kiyoshi already has experience in negotiations.

Besides, Yoshida Kiyoshi was chosen to go to the Toyota Group Headquarters Building because his immediate thinking and reaction ability was the best among all the members of the island cabinet.

Seeing that everyone in the cabinet was looking at him, Yoshida Kiyoshi slightly raised his head and felt extremely satisfied.

"Since we want to talk, let me go." He stood up and said.

"Tomohiko Yokoi, you should go too, so that we can take care of each other." Hideki Ueka, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Yokoi Tomohiko and Yoshida Kiyoshi and said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Tomohiko Yokoi responded.

Yoshida Kiyoshi did not speak, but nodded silently in response.

In the depths of his pupils, a subtle dissatisfaction flashed.

But this cannot be blamed on him. It is obvious that he can solve the problem with his assistant, but now there is an additional "leader".

This is like a project. You and your team took the initiative to volunteer, but the boss merged another team and asked you to work together.

What does this mean?

It means that the boss does not trust you and your team.

If he trusts you and your team, there is no need to arrange another team to participate in the project.

Obviously.

Kiyoshi Yoshida's impression score in Hideki Ueka is declining, so he must arrange a back-up to ensure that the negotiations can go smoothly.

However, to be able to get to this level, Kiyoshi Yoshida will also cover himself up and did not show any dissatisfaction.

…

After finding a breakthrough, Hideki Ueka immediately sent a letter to Longguo, wanting to hold a bilateral meeting on the topic of "Industrial Upgrading".

As the Brazilian incident has spread globally, the island country's overseas infrastructure plan has failed. When Wang Shan learned that the island country wanted to negotiate, he immediately sneered: "This little bastard is really dying, and he only remembered our old neighbor."

"What do you mean, Chief?"

Wang Shan's assistant Li Kang was puzzled.

Although he is an assistant, he has another identity, that is, the biological son of Wang Shan's dead comrade-in-arms, so he has always been trusted and cultivated by Wang Shan.

In many cases, he represents Wang Shan to a certain extent.

Facing the question of his comrade's son, Wang Shan patiently explained: "The US dollar continues to raise interest rates, and our stock market continues to absorb funds. The island country's economy can be said to be hit by a double blow and is facing collapse."

"In addition, the island country is famous for its small land area and large population. Food products such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and miscellaneous daily necessities are highly dependent on imports."

"Once there is a problem with the economy, whether it is inflation or deflation, it will be no less than the real estate bubble in the 1980s."

Perhaps many people do not understand how terrible the real estate bubble of the island country was. It is the largest in human history.

In the 1980s, the island country, which was originally a defeated country, not only recovered its economy rapidly under the support of the United States, but also ushered in rapid development, becoming the second largest economy in the capitalist world, and the people's consumption capacity also increased rapidly.

With the arrival of 1985, the United States, Japan and other countries signed the Plaza Accord, and the yen began to appreciate continuously. The island country also lowered the benchmark interest rate from 5% to 2.5%, which led to the vigorous development of the lending industry and further stimulated people's housing consumption.

It was also during this period that the real economy of the island country began to stagnate, and some export companies or other real economy companies had to abandon their original industries and invest funds in the booming real estate industry.

The two major factors of the substantial improvement in people's consumption capacity and the substantial inflow of funds from real economy companies have brought about the explosion of the real estate industry in the island country!

During this period, speculative funds bought off the media and brainwashed the public that the island country's housing prices would only rise further in the future because its land area was too small. Buying a house now would definitely make a profit. If you don't buy a house now, you won't even be able to afford a toilet in the future.

With all these factors combined, the island country's housing prices exploded!

At its peak, Tokyo's housing prices could buy the entire United States!

Yes!

Buy the entire United States!

Of course, this buying the United States refers to the total value of all real estate in the United States.

Because the price of Tokyo's housing prices in the core area at that time had reached 62,000 US dollars per square meter, and a 100-square-meter house would cost a full 6.2 million US dollars.

What about the United States?

The housing prices in the core area were less than 40,000 US dollars per square meter.

When this level of bubble burst, the fate of the island people can be imagined. Almost everyone went bankrupt and everyone was in debt.

Even with the rise of Japanese cars, the island country still couldn't get out of the real estate haze. In the past two or three decades, the wages of the island country's low-level workers and ordinary white-collar workers have not increased, and have remained at the level of the 1990s.

If it happens again, the island country may really file for national bankruptcy.

"Then we might as well not meet."

Li Kang suddenly spoke.

Wang Shan had already thought of the idea in his mind, and said: "We still have to meet, and we have to be at least polite."

"But!" Suddenly, he changed the subject: "Whether to agree to their request or not is another matter."

"The chief is still thoughtful."

Hearing this, Li Kang immediately flattered.

Wang Shan just smiled at this, obviously he had already gotten used to it.

...

At noon the next day.

The island country's negotiation plane landed in the imperial capital.

Wang Shan, Wang Fang, and a group of top bosses personally greeted them and paid enough attention, making Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko feel that this negotiation will definitely be successfully completed.

However!

When they moved to the conference room.

No matter what Kiyoshi Yoshida said, Wang Shan and Wang Fang were a little indifferent, and their desire for cooperation was not too strong.

Seeing this, Yokoi Tomohiko was a little anxious and said:

"Dragon Country has always wanted to upgrade its industry and stop being a low-end OEM country. As long as you agree to let us join the BRICS Alliance and persuade Longxing Group to rebuild the business environment for electric-powered vehicles for us, you can get a complete high-end industrial system."

"Although the country is the parent of the enterprise, there is an old saying in our Long Country that the sky is high and the birds fly freely. How high, where and how the bird of Longxing Group flies is up to the company to decide. You can talk to them in person."

As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, he looked at Yokoi Tomohiko and declined: "As for the BRICS Alliance, there are currently more than 20 members and there is no plan to expand. If there is a plan to expand members in the future, we will contact you as soon as possible."

In the adult world, if others have clearly expressed their refusal, it would be impolite to pester them again.

Tomohiko Yokoi obviously has no experience, or rather, he has been carried away now, just like a red-eyed gambler, with no rationality, just wanting to go all in and make it all back.

"Our Great Japanese Empire has a complete high-end industrial system. Isn't the BRICS alliance for development? With us joining, you can completely take advantage of our industrial development."

"That's right!" Yoshida Kiyoshi was also a little carried away, and quickly echoed: "Your Longguo has developed so fast, isn't it because the former bear aided a nearly complete industrial system, picking up ready-made benefits, you know."

The two people's "argumentation" still failed to impress Wang Shan.

Although what the two said was true, the international situation was different.

At the beginning, accepting the industrial assistance from the former bear was a helpless move, because Longguo urgently needed to strengthen its strength to deal with the crisis.

And Longguo did not take it for free, but also paid real money.

But what about now?

Longguo's military strength is to maintain the second place and strive for the first place.

There is no urgent need, Longguo has no need to rush.

Even if we take a step back, the longer the time is dragged out, the more favorable it will be for Dragon Country in the negotiations. The island country's economy cannot afford to waste time.

This is a bit like buying water in a scenic spot. The mineral water at the foot of the mountain is 3 yuan, which is 1 yuan more expensive than outside. You don't buy it. When you are panting and sweating, the mineral water on the mountain is 5 yuan. You have to buy it.

Only by grasping the other party's pain point can you maximize your own interests.

"Actually, Chief Wang has made it very clear that our business environment in Long Country is free. If we are asked to step in and force companies to do things, it would be a bit inappropriate."

Wang Fang reminded tactfully.

After several reminders, Yokoi Tomohiko and Yoshida Kiyoshi became aware of their attitudes.

Looking for Chen Xing?

They just refused.

If nothing else, Chen Xing may have already lost his temper with these people, and it seems completely unnecessary to continue talking.

However, Chen Xing is really a little unfair!

He didn't get angry with Wang Shan at all, because in his opinion, there was no need to make a special phone call for such a small matter.

Moreover, according to the current economic situation of the island country, as long as it calms down and thinks carefully, it can completely wait until it can no longer hold its breath.

"Ah sneeze——"

Chen Xing sneezed.

He casually took out two tissues, cleared his nose, and threw the paper ball into the trash can.

Due to the typhoon, the temperature in eastern Guangdong has dropped sharply in the past two days. October, which was originally the hottest month, was not only rainy, but also "winter" came early.

"The weather is getting cooler."

Chen Xing glanced outside the window, it was still raining heavily in Shenzhen.

He didn't think about other aspects. After all, for people born and raised in eastern Guangdong, catching a cold during a typhoon is very normal.

Because the day before, the temperature might be 40 degrees, so hot that your underwear would get soaked, but the next day, it might suddenly reach more than 10 degrees, and you wouldn’t even have time to wear winter clothes.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Xing continued to type on the keyboard. At this time, he was writing a draft of the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" based on the black technology that was about to be announced by Longxing Group.

Don’t think that holding a press conference is easy. Even if you are a billionaire or a billionaire, you have to memorize the draft carefully if you want to hold a press conference.

Only by memorizing the manuscript can the press conference be held smoothly.

If you bring a manuscript to the stage, it is not a press conference, but a manuscript reading meeting. No boss has ever done this before.

Because the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" was too important and involved a large number of core products, Chen Xing did not let anyone else write the manuscript, but chose to do it himself.

On the Weibo information platform, the official account of Longxing Group has been constantly releasing news recently according to Chen Xing's instructions.

New cars.

New mobile phone.

New homes including a recent blog post.

Each forward-looking blog post touches the heartstrings of millions of netizens.

The latest blog post about real estate has received millions of comments.

Among them, a large number of young people are curious about how smart the whole house is, and a large number of netizens are looking forward to new cars and new mobile phones.

Among the millions of comments, the comment with the most likes was from a Yulongwan resident. He not only posted a photo of his family, but also wrote: "It has been almost half a year since I moved in, and I am very satisfied with everything. I look forward to the new owner." arrival!"

In the replies to his comments, there are a large number of people who just need to buy a house, and they all want to get first-hand information.

However, the Yulongwan resident did not reveal any details, but asked them to wait for the news of Longxing Group's press conference.

As victims of unfinished buildings, if Chen Xing hadn't taken over real estate companies such as Country Garden and Evergrande Group, they wouldn't have known who to talk to.

Before Longxing Group held a press conference to announce the specific technical applications of the whole-house smart suite, they were obliged to keep it secret, and Chen Yapeng also reminded people, so they could only share photos and keep silent about other things.
