Technology company, I will become the light of China!

As the "Dismemberment Plan" was progressing in an orderly manner, many suppliers of the Toyota Group became anxious because they found that Yao Nana and Lan Junyi had not even thought about the final payment, but were thinking about directly cutting off the group's cash flow.

In a hotel box in Tokyo, more than a dozen "victim" suppliers gathered to discuss how to get back the balance.

"We can't delay this any longer. Longxing Group has no intention of giving us the final payment. They are here to destroy Toyota Group!"

"I have applied to the court to freeze Toyota Group's liquidity, but the review will take time and there will be a court confrontation."

"At this rate, Toyota Group's liquidity will be squandered in less than half a year or three months!"

"How cruel, Longxing Group!"

"Chen Xing is really going to destroy us!"

The suppliers of the box became more and more angry as they spoke. They had thought about coming to collect the debt, but were always sent away by Yao Nana.

Do they have a solution?

They have tried various methods, but with little success.

Because the contract clearly states that the balance of the goods must be paid within six months, that is to say, as long as Toyota Group pays the balance within six months, it will not be in breach of contract.

Can we wait half a year under the current circumstances?
Half a month is enough!

According to their understanding, Toyota Group's Vice Chairman Lan Junyi is purchasing large amounts of real estate to be used as temporary residence for Toyota Group's business trips.

It is said to be a residence, but in fact it is an excuse to absorb the group's funds.

What is outrageous recently is that Toyota Group is also purchasing a batch of supercars to ensure the commuting of its executives.

Equipped with supercars for commuting, large-scale real estate purchases, and annual salaries exceeding 100 million yuan, this kind of wasteful plot should not appear in a formal group at all, because it can easily cause a break in cash flow.

But does Yao Nana care?
She doesn't care.

Lan Junyi didn't care either.

Chen Xing doesn't care even more.

Because Takahiro Saikawa has a veto power, Toyota Group's core technology cannot be transferred to Longxing Group through cooperation, and now it is just a vase.

After destroying it, the economic downturn of the island country will allow Longxing Group to find more opportunities. You know, the trading team led by Li Daxiao and Yang Delong has been eyeing it covetously.

In addition to shorting the stock market, they are also continuing to short the yen.

After the yen interest rate hike, the island nation's domestic economy did not improve significantly, but instead showed a downward trend.

This is mainly because semiconductor companies and automobile manufacturers are being targeted by the Longxing Group. As for finance and medical care, these two are not the economic pillars of the island country.

Because in the global distribution, the United States has monopolized finance and medical care.

Finance, being with money.

Medical treatment, exchanging money for life.

Thanks to these two areas, the US economy has remained strong over the past few decades.

If you want to make long-term investments, other countries are more or less unsafe, but the United States has strong military power to protect it. In addition, the U.S. dollar is the hard currency among currencies, so it is natural that it has been in a bull market for decades.

As for medical care, to this day, China, Russia, and even most developed countries are extremely dependent on imports for high-tech medical equipment, and the manufacturers are basically from the United States.

The attacks on the basic industries have left the island nation's top leaders helpless.

But if I cooperate with Chen Xing...

They were also afraid that Longguo would take this opportunity to use Toyota Group's industrial system to complete a comprehensive upgrade of industrialization.

Once the Dragon Country moves away from the low- and middle-end industries and moves towards high-end industries, who can stop its great rejuvenation?

This is a dead end, and the island nation has become a pawn in the game between major powers.

……

When Toyota Group's suppliers were outraged and cursing Longxing Group, Toyota Group issued another negative announcement.

[Public announcement of centralized procurement plan]
[In order to meet the daily communication needs of employees and improve work efficiency, the Toyota Group Board of Directors unanimously approved a procurement plan. We will purchase 5 Brilliant X2 mobile phones through batch orders to equip all Toyota Group formal employees with work mobile phones. The total expenditure is approximately 30 billion to 50 billion yen.]
The moment the announcement was made, the entire island nation’s Internet exploded and was immediately questioned by investors.

[Suzuki Mio]: "The Toyota Group is crazy, right? They bought houses and cars, and then bought mobile phones. Is this how you give us investors' money?"

[Takada Yuto]: "Yamolu! I don't want to play anymore. Please give me my money back. I will never invest in stocks again!"

[Matsumoto Tamaki]: "Longxing Group has gone too far. Ever since it took over Toyota Group, all kinds of bad news have been coming out. Chen Xing doesn't treat us island investors as human beings!"

[Hideki Horikawa]: "Nikkei 225 futures hit the limit down. It's over. My life is over. I'm going to Longguo and fight Chen Xing to the death!"

If people used to be impatient for the stock market to open, now retail investors and institutions on the island are terrified of it.

As a leading indicator, night index futures can determine to a certain extent whether the market will open high or low, and how the day will go.

Now the Nikkei 225 is down 9% and no one wants to open the market.

Because once the market opens, there is a high probability that there will be a devastating and tragic decline.

Not only the Nikkei 225 index futures fell, but stock market index futures across Asia and the world were also falling. Only the three major indexes of Dragon Country maintained their upward momentum.

Faced with this situation, if you were an international fund trader, what would you do?

It is clear.

Follow market trends.

Trading against the market often involves huge risks. If you are not completely sure, it is easy to lose everything.

In addition to the wailing of retail investors on the island, a large number of grassroots workers are also concerned about the economy, and some may even be confused.

Why is this happening?

This has to start with the island country’s economic structure and its pillar industries.

As we all know, the island nation is a country with scarce resources and high dependence on imports.

It has neither rich mineral resources nor a vast area of ​​arable land, but it needs to feed hundreds of millions of people.

Faced with this internal situation of scarce resources and inability to be self-sufficient, it can only continue to import to maintain a balance between supply and demand.

If you want to engage in import and export trade, foreign exchange reserves are particularly important.

The island country earns foreign exchange roughly through four areas: one is exporting seafood, two is exporting automobiles, three is exporting high-tech equipment, and four is supplying various industrial materials.

Now the automobile export trade has been cut in half, high-tech equipment is under the control of the United States, and the bulk of income from industrial raw materials, semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresists, have been conquered by Dragon Country. The island country only has seafood to earn foreign exchange.

Is seafood alone enough?

It's obviously not enough.

In the past, automobile exports accounted for 40% or even higher of foreign exchange earnings, while seafood accounted for less than 10%.

If the industrial structure cannot be adjusted quickly, a large number of unemployed people will appear in the island country and the entire social economy will be affected.

A speck of dust from the times, if placed on an individual or a group, would be an unbearable weight.

Take the Spinning Jenny for example. In books, it was a pioneer in industrialization, but in the eyes of the spinners at the time, it was something that caused them to lose their jobs.

Another example is the globalization promoted by the United States, which threw its own low-end industries to Asia. As a result, the bottom-level workers lost their jobs and had to return to farming, and were called rednecks.

Perhaps in the future, history books will only record the island nation’s industrial restructuring. Whether it was a failure or a success, just a few short sentences would reveal the unemployment of too many families.

……

FSA Financial Services Agency.

In the president's office.

Saito I was promoted again. He looked at the arrow turning downward and felt despair and helplessness. The precise sniping of Longxing Group destroyed the industrial foundation of the island country.

The export of automobiles and semiconductor materials, the two major foreign exchange earning areas for the island country, are now strangled by the Longxing Group.

"How exactly should we do this?"

Saitoi muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he clicked his mouse to check the international price changes of semiconductor raw materials.

When he saw that the price of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers dropped by another 2%, he fell silent.

Ever since Longxing Group conquered the relevant fields, the international quotations for photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers have been declining.

A year ago, the quoted price for 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers was US$270. Now the price has dropped to US$136, nearly halving.

Why did it fall so hard?
Three Chinese companies, Longxing Industrial, Kunpeng Industrial and Shanghai Silicon Group, currently control 70% of the global semiconductor silicon wafer market share.

18寸、20寸、22寸半导体硅片，还有14N的纯度，直接绞杀了岛国的11N12寸半导体硅片，拿到了定价权。

Now ordinary people in the island nation may only feel the unemployment crisis, but in Saito I's view, this is not just an unemployment crisis, but an economic crisis for the entire island nation.

It was not just Saito I who saw the signs of an economic crisis; some businessmen with a keen sense of smell also noticed something unusual.

Take Miyazaki Yu for example. The moment he saw Yao Nana messing up the Toyota Group, he knew that the negotiations had failed.

The consequence of a breakdown in the talks is a possible economic crisis, which will deal a double blow to the real economy and the financial system. The island country may suffer a setback in development by decades, just like Thailand.

Anyone who knows history knows that Thailand did not rely on tourism in the past. Their industry and finance were among the best in Asia.

But with Soros and other Wall Street financial capital shorting the Thai baht, Thailand fell back into poverty almost overnight.

Without industrial and financial support, they can only develop tourism.

As the tourism industry develops rapidly, many gray industries have quietly emerged in order to better serve tourists and increase revenue.

In order to avoid shrinking wealth and asset depreciation, many wealthy people in the island country began to sell their assets or exchange their yen into US dollars, euros and dragon currencies.

Because once an economic crisis comes, the local currency and real estate assets will depreciate significantly, and even companies will become worthless.

For example, during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Japanese and Korean companies with no cash flow were ruthlessly bought out by Wall Street in the United States. To this day, Japanese and Korean chaebols are still working on Wall Street.

The ignition of the fuse for escape made Hideki Kamioka very anxious.

In the past, he had ridiculed Longguo’s foreign exchange controls, which restricted capital outflows and made him feel that he was not free. Now, he wanted to have foreign exchange controls to slow down the rate of capital outflows.

Finance Minister Mitsunari Ishida never thought that in just one or two days, the amount of money fleeing the island country would double, including a large number of wealthy elites.

You should know that in most countries in the world today, domestic economic distribution is based on the 20/80 rule. Simply put, % of the people control % of the society's wealth.

Those who are fleeing the island country's funds to avoid financial risks are the 20% elite, or the 20% of the 1%, the top richest people. Their sense of smell is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

"The elites are no longer optimistic about the domestic economy. We must find a way to reverse the situation." Ishida Mitsunari muttered to himself.

He originally thought that the Toyota Group was the one that provided a guarantee for unemployment, but he did not expect that it would cause a wave of panic in the country.

If not corrected in time, there is a high probability that economic depression will reappear.

If society falls into deflation, the economy of the island country, which has scarce land resources and is highly dependent on imports, may regress by decades.

……

The next morning, Nikkei 225 opened as scheduled.

Almost unsurprisingly, there was a five-minute circuit breaker at the opening, and the confidence of all retail investors was wiped out.

Some people cut their losses and left the market.

Some people fly high in the sky.

Someone is secretly buying at the bottom.

After just five minutes, the "smart money" that bought the bottom lost 3% in their accounts, and the market continued to fall.

The current stock market in Japan is just like the U.S. stock market in 00, 01 and 02. It has fallen by nearly 90% in three years, and all retail investors have been buried in the ground.

The frequent declines in the stock market have led to an increase in savings deposits.

It is a very scary thing that people are beginning to lose faith that money can be made in the capital market.

Because the stock market is not just an investment market, it is also a financing channel for companies.

If the stock market fails to develop, companies will not be able to raise funds in the secondary market, which will naturally lead to a ripple effect.

"Nikkei 225, I hate you!!!"

Ginza Building.

A man reaches the top.

After he shouted with all his might, he suddenly leaped forward, and the people watching below closed their eyes silently.

There was a dull thud and several doctors got out of the ambulance parked nearby to deal with the aftermath of the man who jumped from the building.

"Another one has jumped. There must have been hundreds of people who have jumped in the past two years, right?"

"Ginza Building is still under key control. I don't know how many people have died in other places. They are all gamblers who used leverage to speculate in stocks."

“Stock trading is scary.”

"Nine out of 10 people who enter the stock market lose money. It's just a gambling place. How can it not be scary? The most important thing is that our economy is not good and there is no extra capital to push up prices."

"There are still people who want to jump!"

Under everyone's gaze, another person stood at the highest point.

There were policemen beside him trying to dissuade him, but it was of no avail. The same muffled thud and the same body collection process happened again.

It's not just the island country, there are desperate investors jumping off buildings because of the stock market all over the world.

And on the other side.

The situation in Dragon Country’s stock market is quite the opposite.

With Longxing Group announcing last night that it would acquire Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory, the technology leader was once again pulled up by domestic and foreign capital, with an increase of up to 17%.

The high increase has driven the entire market upward.

The current Jinlong Technology Index is very similar to the Nasdaq Index more than a decade ago, which makes people full of hype.

Due to the crazy rise of the stock market, many retail investors have made money.

Some go to buy houses.

Some go traveling.

Some went to change cars.

The economy, which was originally sluggish due to the US interest rate hike, has gradually been revived, and many people are willing to spend money.

If people are willing to consume, the stagnant economy will start flowing.

Anyone who has observed the water source in the mountains knows that a stagnant water can easily become smelly and turbid, but if it is a flowing stream, the water will be clear and sweet.

The money in the bank is not idle and the money in hand is not stagnant, which is a sign of an upward economic development.

At this time in the stock bar, investors began to feel elated and talked loudly with others.

[Feng Xiaoxixi]: "I made another 2 yuan. I decided to go out for a massage tonight to help the technicians' younger brothers."

[Emperor Yuhuang]: "If we don't help our sick parents, her who is in debt, and her younger brother who needs to go to school, is there still love in this society?"

[A-share God]: "They say Buffett's 20% annual return is amazing, but my current return is as high as 140%. I feel like I am also a god of stocks, I can be Buffett!"

[Black Flash]: "Come on, brother, we are in the right place at the right time. If the country didn't want to use the stock market to boost the economy, we wouldn't have gotten rich!"

Investors in the Dragon Country and the Island Country are at two extremes at this moment.

One makes money like drinking water, the other loses money like water flowing. The national economy is fully reflected in the stock market.

JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street companies have given up on the U.S. stock market and turned to embrace the Longxing stock market, injecting large amounts of capital and raising the buying level of Longxing Group to "overweight", allowing investors to continue buying.

Less than a month after listing, the stock price is heading for a 30-fold increase, but everyone thinks that Longxing Group can at least increase 50 times.

……

And on the other side.

Longxing Group Bantian Base.

In the president's office, Chen Xing was playing with the three-fold template machine in his hand, and occasionally commented: "One fold, two folds, three folds, this three-fold screen seems to be closer to a tablet, which is really interesting."

"In the past, many software couldn't adapt to the pages on the dual-folding screen and there would be gaps. The triple-folding system makes up for this shortcoming." Liang Ziang, the person in charge of the folding phone project, answered quickly.

The Brilliant X2 Folding was well received, but a problem was discovered after promotion.

That is the mobile phone application, which sometimes cannot achieve full screen. This is because the software does not have pages specially designed for dual-folding screens, resulting in blank spaces.

But the tri-fold is different, it can directly apply the flat structure.

Tablets have been on the market for so many years and have developed a fairly mature structural framework, which is very friendly to tri-fold screens.

"good."

Chen Xing folded it a few more times.

After playing with it for a while, he looked at the crease on the flexible screen and said, "Is there any way to make this crease lighter? Although it is not obvious when the screen is on, it is particularly prominent when the screen is dark."

"This can only be handed over to the technical department. I can only say that we will try our best."

Liang Ziang was also unsure.

Although the three-fold feature is good, there will be obvious creases at the folding point of the flexible screen, but this is unavoidable.

Chen Xing did not dwell on this question and immediately said, "The design is good. You can discuss it with other departments and try to make the actual machine within three months."

"Okay, President." Liang Ziang responded and asked, "What is the funding for this project and what is the code name?"

“What is the production cost budget for a tri-fold phone?”

“The configuration has not been finalized yet, but I estimate that it will cost more than 20,000 yuan, because the triple-folding process is much more complicated than the double-folding process.”

"A cell phone that costs 20,000 yuan..."

Chen Xing fell into thinking.

This is not a cheap price, and the people who can afford it are either rich or noble.

"How about this, you go to Vice President Zhang for project funding approval, and you can decide on the project name yourself. I just want the final results."

"Ok."

With Chen Xing's approval, Liang Ziang can also do it with full confidence.

In fact, he had no confidence in making the three-fold machine because the cost was too high, costing tens of thousands of yuan for one machine.

This is why he had to piece together a prototype three-fold model and bring it to Chen Xing for review and approval.

Only with Chen Xing's nod did he dare to continue developing the foldable screen mobile phone.

After Liang Ziang left, Chen Xing opened an encrypted document and typed the five words "three-fold mobile phone" on it.

Next to the tri-fold mobile phone, there are also low-altitude flying cars, ternary computers, ternary chips...

Why make this document?

Very simple.

Chen Xing is going to hold a science and technology exhibition.

If Longxing Group were to hold press conferences again and again for the technology it has accumulated, it would be too cumbersome, and Chen Xing doesn't have that much energy. After all, the financial decisive battle has reached a fever pitch.

So Chen Xing’s current idea is to hold a technology exhibition exclusively for Longxing Group to give the world a great technological shock.

In order to prepare for this exhibition, Chen Xing had to ask about the progress every now and then decide when to hold it.

Just as Lei Jun once said, this time Chen Xing will bet all his past reputation on making this technology exhibition a success.

……

While Chen Xing was still busy thinking about how to make Longxing Group further progress, the chaebol groups in Japan and South Korea were thinking about how to hold on to the market.

Because Japan and South Korea are close to the Dragon Country, their economies are being continuously siphoned off.

Business order volume has declined.

Market demand changes.

The domestic economy is depressed.

This has already led to changes in the peninsula's economic system, with many chaebol groups, such as Hanxing Group and Lotte Group, beginning to sell off unimportant assets.

Wall Street giants are also deliberately selling their stocks as they see the economic recession.

From the perspective of Wall Street, Peninsula companies have lost most of their value. Even a strong company like Hanxing Group now has to face layoffs and reduce capital expenditures.

However, the LG Group, which cooperates with the Longxing Group, is not affected, and even has a tendency to become the number one chaebol.

Faced with the current severe economic situation, senior officials of the peninsula are traveling back and forth around the world, trying to find a way out.

The fate of the peninsula and the exodus of the domestic elite have left the island nation's Speaker Hideki Kamioka unable to sleep. He can clearly feel that the collapse of the edifice is only a matter of seconds.

He had to do something.

He wants to revive the domestic economy.

After reading a large number of books and checking a lot of historical materials, Hideki Kamioka found a strategy to provide a large number of jobs for the grassroots people. That is to learn from the large-scale infrastructure of the Dragon Kingdom, use work instead of relief, and create a large number of grassroots jobs.

As for how to carry out large-scale infrastructure, he also thought of it. That is, the land that the island country bought in Brazil can be used to carry out large-scale infrastructure.
