Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 930: Meat and Soup
There is news that Xu Qingyou was released from prison early.

Li Jiankun felt no wave of emotion.

It was something that was expected.

After all, the Xu family has a mother who protects her son without any discrimination, and Xu's father is also in a high position with great power.

When Zhong Ling returned to China and talked about Xu Qing, Li Jiankun once said, "Although he was sentenced to seven years, there is a high possibility that Xu Qing will be released from prison early."

Later, Zhong Ling went to visit the prison and the feedback she gave back was the same.

In a society where human relationships are important, just get used to it.

Li Jiankun said "oh" and then asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Lin Xinjia shook his head: "It seems that I am too embarrassed to go home. I am dealing with imported goods in the south. It's funny that the orders have been placed with your refrigerator factory in Gangcheng."

Li Jiankun said nothing more.

As long as Xu Qingyou doesn't cause trouble, he has no interest in even looking at Xu Qingyou.

A decent person would ignore a grasshopper, as long as he didn't let it jump on him.

At the same time, I felt disappointed with this guy.

It doesn’t matter if we never meet again.

……

……

The next day, Standard Technology Company and Tanaka Institute successfully signed the contract.

Hayato Tanaka received a broken skull and a cash check for 800 million yen.

Standard Technology Corporation acquired the technology of ArF photoresist.

Two thick stacks of technical data.

At Li Jiankun's request yesterday, one copy each of the Japanese and English versions was given without any explanation. It's not necessary.

Since we are giving both money and leadership, it is normal to make some requests.

As for the reason why he made this request, of course there is one:
This kind of professional document is difficult to translate.

Without professional knowledge, top translation talents may not be of much use.

He knew very well that there was no shortage of technicians who knew English in the Chemical Engineering Department of the Huadian Research Institute, but there was not a single one who knew Japanese.

If I bring back a Japanese document and cannot translate it, I will just be helpless.

Later that day, in Li Jiankun's temporary office at the Trust Bank's Japan branch, Ran Zi began to fax English documents to Hong Kong City in a disorganized order.

The recipient is Effie.

Two days later, Lin Xinjia returned to the port city, carrying the information, entered the country through the Luohu Port, and came to the Huadian Industrial Park in the Special Economic Zone.

Inside the Huadian Research Institute building, third floor, Chemical Industry Department.

The office of Hou Jianyong, the person in charge.

The door is closed.

Hou Jianyong and his deputy Wang Jianping looked at the dusty Lin Xinjia and were both confused.

I don't know why the president of Gangcheng Huadian Corporation called them here in such a hurry without even having a cup of tea.

Lin Xinjia glanced at the two and asked, "There is still no progress in the research and development of photoresist, right?"

Hou Jianyong nodded with a wry smile: "There is a complete lack of this kind of material in China, and there is no experience to refer to. It is not easy to start from scratch.

"We have only analyzed the raw materials used in G-line and I-line photoresists through samples, which is not a significant achievement.

“It’s not difficult to know what raw materials are used, but it’s extremely difficult to figure out the ratio.

"This will take a long time of experimentation and trial and error, perhaps a thousand times, perhaps ten thousand times, perhaps a hundred thousand times..."

Wang Jianping took over the conversation:
"We also know the importance of photoresist, and we also know that everyone in the company is in a hurry. Without it, the photolithography machines shipped from the capital are equivalent to scrap metal, and there is no point in even starting them.

“However, there is no point in rushing scientific research, so I hope the higher-ups can understand and give us enough time.

"Our researchers are now sleeping only five hours a day on average, and they are busy working in the lab, and they will definitely come up with it as quickly as possible."

"You don't have to work so hard." said Lin Xinjia.

Ok?
Hou Jianyong and Wang Jianping were both stunned.

Lin Xinjia took out a bulging yellow file bag from his black leather briefcase:

"This is the technical data of ArF photoresist."

Hou Jianyong: “!!!”

Wang Jianping: “???”

The two were shocked and looked in disbelief.

What is the technical data of ArF photoresist?
Where is it?
No... Is there such a thing in the world?
How long has it been since the fourth generation of lithography machines came out?

They currently don’t even know when they will be able to develop the simplest G-line lithography machine.

Boom! The technical data of the ArF lithography machine suddenly fell from the sky...

Is today April Fool's Day?
If the person sitting opposite them was not the CEO of China Huadian Corporation, they would at least ask a few questions.

Now, after taking the file bag, Hou Jianyong hurriedly opened the coils and took out the thick documents.

Wang Jianping leaned over and checked with him.

Both of them are top experts in the field of chemical engineering, and they couldn't take their eyes off each other after seeing each other.

"Really!" Wang Jianping was surprised.

Hou Jianyong's eyes sparkled. He looked up at Lin Xinjia and asked, "Boss Lin, where did you get this?"

"Japanese benzene."

"what?!"

Hou Jianyong and Wang Jianping looked at each other. Didn’t Japan impose an embargo on the relevant technology on us?
Besides, this is the most advanced photoresist technology, a scientific secret!
“I bought it.”

Lin Xinjia saw what the two were thinking and explained, "But the buyer is not Huadian. As you know, Huadian is on the blacklist and it is impossible for it to buy this technology. You are the person in charge of the Chemical Industry Department of the Industrial Park. Mr. Li means that there is no need to hide it from you.

“He used some tricks.

"In theory, it is against the rules to give the information to Huadian, but we will not sell this photoresist. It will only be used to produce finished chips in the future, and no one will know about it."

Lin Xinjia looked at the two of them deeply:

"Mr. Li has been in Nihon for almost a whole year for this purpose. He also has something to tell you."

Hou Jianyong and Wang Jianping were filled with emotion. It was simply that Mr. Li was omnipotent!

The two of them sat up straight, pricked up their ears, and their expressions showed a hint of respect for Li Jiankun from afar.

Mr. Li said:

“It’s a shortcut, but it’s not something to brag about.

“Our goal should be to achieve self-ownership of core technologies.

“Technology is developing, and what is advanced now will become obsolete in the future.

“The foundation has been given to you. Don’t rest on your laurels, and don’t become dependent on them. Continuous exploration and progress is the company’s development philosophy and the mentality that researchers should uphold.

“He looks forward to hearing that the Ministry of Chemical Industry will make a breakthrough in photoresist technology and lead the world in the near future.

"When that happens, he will celebrate for you all."

Hou Jianyong and Wang Jianping's eyes filled with tears after hearing this.

"Please ask Mr. Lin to tell Mr. Li that we will remember his words and will never let him down!"

"Yes! In the near future, we will definitely develop our own photoresist that will lead the world!"

Lin Xinjia smiled and said:

"I won't tell you. You can talk to him yourself. He should be back soon."

……

……

Time flies.

This morning, light snow fell in Tokyo.

The year 1986 came quietly.

Li Jiankun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, overlooking the street view of Ginza, and suddenly realized that he had spent most of his time in 1985 in Japan.

Suddenly I felt like I was wasting my life.

However, in his mind, he was very clear. From the perspective of benefits alone, this year's gains were greater than those of the past few years after his rebirth combined.

He stared at a piece of snow that had not yet melted and clung to the clear window glass.

Snow symbolizes the arrival of winter.

It always reminds people of going home.

In the following days, Li Jiankun had separate meetings with bank boss Sun, Tsuruta Nakamura, and Sun Zhenyi.

Earlier, in order to cooperate with the operation, Li Jiankun gave Lao Sun the title of vice president of Particle Bank Syndicate.

This time, Li Jiankun completely secured Lao Sun's position.

From now on, he is truly the vice president of the Particle Bank Group, enjoying the treatment and rights of the position, and is in charge of all investments of the group company in Nippon Benzene.

Arimi House Co., Ltd. and Standard Technology Corporation are both privately supervised by him.

Old Sun was filled with gratitude for this New Year gift. He had never thought that he would get such a promotion in his career after he turned fifty. He patted his chest and expressed his loyalty to Li Jiankun. His original words were:
"Boss, I don't have any special abilities. I've been in charge of the purse strings for half my life, and I can only do this one thing.

"Leave your money bag to me. If a penny is missing, I am the only one you can ask for help!"

Li Jiankun explained two things to Tsuruta Nakamura:
1. Continue to acquire land and acquire good land.

2. Hold on to all the land you own.

For example, in Kyoto, the Kyoto Metropolitan Government had urged Arisui House Co., Ltd. many times to start development as soon as possible, and they delayed it as much as possible, mobilizing all their connections and using all kinds of means; when it really couldn't be delayed any longer, they selected a few pieces of land, let the construction team enter the site, pretended to delay, and continued to delay.

Tsuruta Nakamura asked, "How long will it take?"

Li Jiankun said: "I will wait until I think the land price has reached its peak and I want to sell it."

The time he spent alone with Sun Zhenyi was longer than the time he spent with Old Sun and Tsuruta Nakamura combined.

Firstly, Standard Technology Company had just been established, and the blueprint drawn by Li Jiankun had to be transmitted to Sun Zhenyi frame by frame.

Secondly, Li Jiankun attaches the most importance to the goal that he wants to achieve through this company.

ArF photoresist is a good start.

But it's not enough.

Far from enough.

Li Jiankun showed no mercy and had no psychological burden when it came to taking advantage of Riben Technology.

Of course, as his fake play became real, Sun Zhenyi was now unaware of his true intentions.

There are some things that Li Jiankun intends to let him accept slowly.

After making these arrangements, Li Jiankun sent someone to Kyoto to bring back Miduko.

Miduko's injuries are no longer serious. She underwent three months of rehabilitation treatment in Kyoto. Now, from the outside, there is no sign that she had ever been seriously injured or on the verge of death.

The moment I saw Miduko in the large flat in Ginza.

The latter smiled sweetly and called "Master" obediently.

Li Jiankun knew that her memory had been restored. However, there was a very obvious change in Miduko.

It’s hard to describe, but generally speaking, there’s a stronger and more independent temperament.

This is a good thing.

Li Jiankun asked her to continue resting for a while, but Miduko refused and went to work at the New Power Public Relations Company the next day.

Li Jiankun sent Mr. Sun from the bank to meet with her and inform her of the changes in the Nissan business.

From now on, her and the New Power Company's main task is to assist Tsuruta Nakamura and Sun Zhenyi to do public relations for some people and things in order to achieve the goal as soon as possible.

Li Jiankun transferred his large Ginza flat to Miduko.

This property, which is worth more than one million US dollars, has since become Miduko's private residence.

……

……

"Leave now?"

Regarding Li Jiankun's suggestion to go back to China together, Wu Yingxiong waved his head and said, "If you need anything, you can take Miss Ran and the others back first. Xiaowan and I will stay here."

At the desk next to him, Feng Xiaowan nodded in agreement.

The two of them still kept an eye on Li Jiankun's stock holdings and the corresponding trends of various stocks all day long.

As if it was their life and property.

The weather was getting colder, but Li Jiankun's heart was warm. He said softly:

“Haven’t I told you all this before? We have been keeping an eye on it for several months. Judging from the current situation, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar will continue for a long time, and the appreciation of the Japanese yen will also continue for a long time.

“I don’t plan to close my position any time soon.

"Why, I won't close my position for three years, and you guys are going to keep it here for three years?"

Wu Yingxiong and his wife both understood the truth and trusted his judgment.

"But this is a stock portfolio with a capital of 5 billion US dollars!"

"Brother Kun, it's better to be safe than sorry. Let us keep an eye on it."

Li Jiankun was quite helpless: "Don't you two have something else to do? I think that matter is more important than mine."

Looking around the world today, there are only a handful of talented people like Xiao Yingxiong and Feng Xiaowan.

In today's China, it is even more like the horns and scales of a phoenix.

Almost as soon as they returned home, people from government agencies came to visit them.

The little hero is from Modu.

Most of the veteran stock traders in later generations know that the first securities trading department in New China was established in the JA District of Shanghai in 1986.

It is called Jing'an Securities Sales Department.

Li Jiankun had heard about it in his previous life. It was said to be quite a sensation. There were a lot of people queuing up, starting from Jing'an Temple and all the way to BJ West Road, stretching for hundreds of meters.

Although there are only two types of stocks available for sale, one is "Xiao Fei Le" and the other is "Yan Zhong Industrial".

Each person is limited to purchasing two tickets, each worth fifty yuan, in paper form.

The little hero and his wife just caught up.

Although it seems a bit like a waste of talent to let the two of them participate in this job, it is of great significance.

Without this securities branch, there would most likely not have been the Shanghai Stock Exchange established in 1990.

This is something that will go down in history.

For the young hero and his wife, it will be a good starting point for their careers.

Li Jiankun didn't want them to miss it.

In fact, they didn't want to miss it.

Seeing their hesitation, Li Jiankun raised his hands and patted them on the shoulders:
“Okay, that’s settled.

"You two are certainly very skilled, but I have people on my side. I just need to keep an eye on this kind of thing and leave it to Old Sun and the bank's securities department."

The two finally agreed.

At this time, Zhang Gui, who was sitting next to the sofa, said tentatively, "We are all leaving, shouldn't we make a summary and do some calculations to see how much the boss has earned so far in Nippon?"

Li Jiankun and Wu Yingxiong turned their heads to look at him.

I didn't realize before that this guy has the potential to be a miser...

He seems to be addicted to counting money and asks for settlement every now and then.

Zhang Gui scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "What's the matter, don't you want to know, brother? Secretary Ran?"

Zhang Fu and Ran Zi looked at each other and thought...

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "Okay, that counts as one."

He used to have the habit of taking stock of his accounts at the end of every year to see how much he had earned that year, but now his business is too big to keep count.

If you ask him how much money he has, he really doesn't know.

Wu Yingxiong pointed at the computer and said, "What are you calculating? It's obvious at a glance."

Zhang Gui retorted: "You can see it clearly, but I can't."

Wu Yingxiong raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

Clap clap clap!

The young couple worked on the computer like tigers.

Li Jiankun raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, just give a rough estimate."

It's very precise and it won't happen overnight. It requires statistics.

Another thing is that if we want to calculate his entire income from Nippon Benz this year, it would not be complete if we only consider the stock market.

If we just do a rough calculation, it is simple:
In the Japanese financial market, including investments in shorting the US dollar, Li Jiankun invested a total of 5 billion US dollars.

In Nippon Benz real estate, including the acquisition of Seibu Real Estate, it invested approximately 5 billion US dollars.

Ten billion US dollars.

All cash flows of Li Jiankun.

He also borrowed some money from the two banks under his name.

Let’s not count the period before the Plaza Accord. Although there were fluctuations in the two major markets at that time, they were generally stable.

It has been almost three months since the Plaza Accord was issued.

The ratio of the US dollar to the Japanese yen is around 1:200.

The drop was about 20 percent.

Conversely, the yen gained 20 percent against the dollar.

In other words, Li Jiankun made 2 billion US dollars without doing anything.

In addition, due to the favorable factor of the appreciation of the yen, the Japanese stock and real estate markets are highly sought after and are also rising beyond the fundamentals.

Li Jiankun and Wu Yingxiong calculated that this increase would bring at least a 5% profit.

Therefore, according to conservative estimates, Li Jiankun's revenue from Nippon Benzene this year is US$2.5 billion.

"His!"

The Fugui brothers and Ran Zi both took a deep breath.

Just hearing this number makes one's heart pound.

Ran Zi thought that with this money, she could buy a row of skyscrapers along the Victoria Harbour.

Brother Fugui heard Wu Yingxiong say something last time:

At present, my country's total foreign exchange reserves are approximately US$2.6 billion.

In one year, oh no, less than one year, at most half a year, Brother Kun earned the foreign exchange that had been accumulated over thirty years with the efforts of the whole country!
Feng Xiaowan chuckled and said, "Are you scared now?

“In fact, this conclusion is not rigorous. Brother Kun’s layout this year, whether in the stock market or real estate, is still profitable, and it is hard to say how long it will last.

“The income generated in the future should also be counted as Brother Kun’s profit this year.

“After all, there is almost no need to invest anything.”

She paused and continued:
"Hero and I have done a calculation. If the Japanese yen continues to appreciate for another year, even if we take into account that the appreciation rate will gradually decrease, the profit of Brother Kun's layout this time can reach 5 billion US dollars.

"If the yen continues to appreciate for another two years, this number will reach 8 billion.

"If the Japanese yen continues to appreciate for three years, the principal will double directly, and the profit will be 10 billion US dollars."

The three jaws of the Fugui brothers and Ran Zi almost dropped on their necks.

"Oh right."

Feng Xiaowan added: "I'm just talking about the stock market."

Wu Yingxiong took over the conversation: "Theoretically speaking, if the yen continues to appreciate, the land value in Japan, which has a relatively small land area and a large population, will appreciate much faster than the stock market."

Zhang Gui stammered, "Then, if we add the land, how much can the boss earn in the end, based on three years?"

"We can only speculate."

Wu Yingxiong pushed up his black-framed glasses and said, "Three years from now, in 1989, if Brother Kun's two investments can continue to appreciate in value until then, the profit may reach 100 billion... um, US dollars."

blind!
Not to mention the Fugui brothers and Ran Zi, Wu Yingxiong swallowed hard after saying this.

Feng Xiaowan next to him was not much better than him.

The calmest person at the scene was Li Jiankun, because he knew exactly how much money he would most likely make from this wave.

At this moment I just want to say one thing: this is a master.

You know, in his previous life, in 1990, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi once again topped the list of the world's richest people with a net worth of 160 billion US dollars.

The main thing they rely on is the land they have.

Now that Seibu Real Estate belongs to him, he does not intend to give up on purchasing land in Nippon Benz before he decides to sell it and go ashore.

When should I get rid of it?

It was the eve of the bursting of Japan's economic bubble.

"alright."

Li Jiankun clapped his hands and said, "These are just your beautiful guesses. I dare not even think that the yen will continue to appreciate for three years."

He changed the subject:
“But it’s a good profit after all.

“You are all heroes who have stayed here with me for so long.

“Everyone thinks about what they want, let’s get some rewards.

"Of course, if Zhang Gui wants to find a wife, don't look for me for this matter.

"Otherwise I can only be vulgar and give you money."

Zhang Gui smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Money is good. It would be even better if it was US dollars. Isn't it true that no one wants it internationally now? Boss, I want US dollars. Let's go back and pretend to be a big shot."

Wu Yingxiong laughed: "Gou Gui'er is quite calculating."

We have been together for so long that our relationship has become familiar to a certain extent.

The air is filled with happiness.

With meat and soup, it is naturally enjoyable.
