Technology company, I will become the light of China!

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

Ordinary people may not have realized how bad the island nation’s economy is right now, but they just feel that it’s a little difficult to find a job.

But Hideki Kamioka knew, as did the vast majority of the cabinet, that the island nation was only one step away from a massive wave of bankruptcy.

Economic problems are like throwing a stone into a calm body of water. The first to feel the ripples are the powerful elite, followed by the wealthy, the middle class, the petty bourgeoisie, etc.

In the end, ordinary people at the bottom of society only realized it later.

This is also why, before every economic crisis, there are always some people who can get away with it unscathed, and there are always some people who don’t even know that they have experienced an economic crisis.

When an economic crisis comes, it is often the wealthy to well-off families that are hurt. The economic crisis is like Thanos's snap of fingers, deducting percentages.

For example, you have 1 million Dragon currency, while your neighbor Zhang San has only 1000 yuan. With the coming of the economic crisis, the currency depreciates sharply. Assuming the depreciation rate is 25%, the money in your hand is equivalent to 2500 million less, while Zhang San only loses 250 yuan.

When you have little enough money, you won’t feel the impact of an economic crisis.

You will only vaguely feel that wages and prices are rising, but one day when you stop and finally realize that you are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis.

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

If you go to families in mountainous areas and ask what impact the financial crises in 1997 and 2008 had on their lives, they might ask in return what a financial crisis is.

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

But after several hours of meetings, it was almost dawn and the island's cabinet still hadn't come up with a new solution. They were still arguing about the three topics of borrowing money from the United States, cooperating with the Longxing Group, and declaring national bankruptcy.

Just when Ueka Hideki was at a loss and looked worried, new cabinet member Yokoi Tomohiko tentatively suggested: "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 words fell.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes with different expressions in the audience were all staring at the "newcomer" Tomohiko Yokoi, 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, I think he will have no choice but to submit."

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

"That's right, that's right."

"Who should be sent to talk?"

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

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

Kiyoshi Yoshida already has experience in negotiations.

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

Seeing that everyone in the cabinet was looking at him, Kiyoshi Yoshida raised his head slightly and felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

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

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

"Ok."

Tomohiko Yokoi responded.

Kiyoshi Yoshida did not say anything, but nodded silently in response.

Deep in his pupils, a hint of barely perceptible displeasure flashed across his face.

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

This is like a project where you and your team volunteer to take part, but your boss merges another team with you and lets you work together.

What does this mean?
It means your boss doesn't 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.

Yoshida Kiyoshi's impression in Kamioka Hideki's mind was declining, so he had to make a backup plan to ensure that the negotiations went smoothly.

However, having reached this level, Kiyoshi Yoshida was able to conceal himself and did not show any dissatisfaction.

……

After finding a breakthrough, Hideki Kamioka immediately sent a letter to Longguo, wanting to hold a meeting between the two sides on the topic of "Industrial Upgrading".

As the Brazilian incident has spread around the world, the island nation's overseas infrastructure plan has failed. When Wang Shan learned that the island nation wanted to negotiate, he immediately sneered: "This little bastard is really about to die, and he only remembered us, his 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 deceased 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 from his comrade's son, Wang Shan patiently explained: "The U.S. dollar continues to raise interest rates, and our stock market continues to absorb funds. The island nation's economy has been hit hard from both sides and is facing collapse."

"Plus, the island nation is notoriously small in land area and densely populated, so food products such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and various daily necessities are highly dependent on imports."

"Once the economy has problems, whether it is inflation or deflation, it will be no less severe than the real estate bubble in the 80s."

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

In the 80s, with the support of the United States, the island country, which was originally a defeated country, not only saw its economy recover rapidly, but also ushered in rapid development, becoming the second largest economy in the capitalist world, and the consumption capacity of its people also increased rapidly.

With the arrival of 1985, the United States, Japan and other countries signed the Plaza Accord, and the Japanese 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 island nation's real economy began to stagnate, and some export companies or other real economy companies had to abandon their original industries and invest their funds in the booming real estate industry.

The significant increase in people's consumption capacity and the large influx of funds into real economy enterprises are two major factors that have led to the boom in the island country's real estate industry!
Also during this period, hype funds bought off the media and brainwashed the public by saying that housing prices in the island nation would only rise further in the future because their land area was too small. Buying a house now would ensure a profit, and if they didn't buy a house now, they wouldn't even be able to afford a toilet in the future.

Due to the combination of various factors, housing prices in the island country have exploded!

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

Yes!

Buy the entire United States!

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

Because the housing prices in Tokyo's most central areas at that time had reached US$6.2 per square meter, a 100-square-meter house would cost a full US$620 million.

What about the United States?
The housing price in the most core area is less than US$4 per square meter.

If a bubble of this magnitude bursts, one can imagine what will happen to the people on the island: almost everyone will go bankrupt and be in debt.

Even with the rise of Japanese cars, the island country still has not been able to get out of the real estate shadow. 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 nation may really have to file for national bankruptcy.

"Then we might as well not meet." Li Kang suddenly said.

Wang Shan had already thought of what he was thinking, and said, "We still have to meet, and we have to show the minimum etiquette."

"But!" He suddenly changed the subject: "Whether or not to agree to their request is another matter."

"The chief is very thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, Li Kang immediately began to flatter him.

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

……

noon the next day.

The island nation’s negotiation plane landed in the imperial capital.

Wang Shan, Wang Fang, and a group of top bosses came to greet them personally and showed great importance to them, which made Kiyoshi Yoshida and Tomohiko Yokoi feel that this negotiation would definitely be successfully completed.

however!
Wait for them to move to the meeting room.

No matter what Yoshida Kiyoshi said, Wang Shan and Wang Fang were somewhat indifferent, and their desire to cooperate was not very strong.

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

"Longguo 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 convince Longxing Group to rebuild the business environment for electric vehicles for us, you can get a complete high-end industrial system."

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

Wang Shan just finished speaking, and then looked at Yokoi Tomohiko and declined: "As for the BRICS, there are more than 20 members at present, and there are no plans to expand. If there are plans to expand members in the future, we will contact you as soon as possible."

In the adult world, if someone has clearly expressed their refusal, it would be impolite to continue to pester them.

Tomohiko Yokoi obviously has no experience, or rather, he has become too excited now, just like a red-eyed gambler, with no rationality at all, and just wants to go all in and make it all back.

"We in the Great Sun Empire have a complete high-end industrial system. Isn't the BRICS alliance for development? With our joining, you can take advantage of our industrial development to develop rapidly."

"That's right!" Yoshida Kiyoshi was also a little excited, and quickly agreed: "Your Dragon Country has developed so fast, isn't it because the former Russian bear assisted with a nearly complete industrial system? You are reaping the benefits of the ready-made things, you know."

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

Although what both of them said was true, the international situation was different.

Accepting industrial assistance from the former Russian bear was a helpless move, because the Dragon Country was in urgent need of strengthening its strength to cope with the crisis.

Moreover, Longguo did not take it for free; it also paid real money.

But now?

The military strength of the Dragon Kingdom is to maintain the second place and strive for the first place.

There is no urgent need for Longguo to rush.

Even if we take a step back, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for Dragon Country in the negotiations, as 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 costs 3 yuan, which is 1 yuan more expensive than outside. If you don’t buy it, when you are panting and sweating profusely, the mineral water on the mountain costs 5 yuan, and you have to buy it even if you don’t want to.

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

"In fact, Chief Wang has made it very clear that the business environment in Longguo is free. If we were asked to come forward and force companies to do things, it would indeed be a bit inappropriate."

Wang Fang reminded gently.

After several reminders, Tomohiko Yokoi and Kiyoshi Yoshida were aware of the two men's attitudes.

Looking for Chen Xing?
They just refused.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Xing might have already talked to these people, so there seemed no need to continue the discussion.

However, Chen Xing was indeed a bit wronged!
He didn't even talk to Wang Shan about it, 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 we calm down and think carefully, we can completely wait until it can no longer hold its breath.

"Ah-"

Chen Xing sneezed.

He took two tissues, cleared his nasal cavity, and threw the paper balls 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, is not only rainy, but also has arrived in "winter" early.

"The weather is getting colder."

Chen Xing glanced out the window and saw that it was still raining moderately in Shenzhen.

He didn't think about it in other ways. After all, for people who were born and raised in eastern Guangdong, it was normal to catch a cold during a typhoon.

Because the temperature might be 40 degrees the day before, so hot that your pants are soaked, but the next day, the temperature might suddenly rise to more than degrees, and you won’t have time to put on winter clothes.

Retracting his gaze, Chen Xing continued typing on the keyboard. At this moment, he was writing the draft of "Longxing Annual Technology Exhibition" in combination with the black technology that Longxing Group was about to announce.

Don’t think that holding a press conference is easy. Even if you are a CEO with hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, you still have to memorize the script if you want to hold a press conference.

Only after memorizing the manuscript can you hold the press conference smoothly.

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

Because the "Longxing Annual Science and Technology Exhibition" is too important and involves a large number of core products, Chen Xing did not ask others to write the manuscript, but chose to do it himself.

On the Weibo information platform, the official account of Longxing Group has been continuously releasing news recently in accordance with Chen Xing's instructions.

New car.

new phone.

Including the new house in a recent blog post.

One after another, the forward-looking blog posts touched the hearts 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 one with the highest number of likes was from a resident of Yulong Bay. He not only posted a photo of his family, but also wrote: "I have been living here for almost half a year and I am very satisfied in every aspect. I look forward to the arrival of the new owner!"

In the reply section to his comment, there are a large number of people who need to buy a house, and they all want to know first-hand information.

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

As victims of unfinished buildings, if Chen Xing had not taken over collapsed real estate companies such as Country Garden and Evergrande Group, they would not know who to turn to for justice.

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 confidential, and Chen Yapeng also reminded them, so they could only post photos and keep silent about other things.
