Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire Chapter 684

Since the 1980s, driven by industries such as automobiles, electronics, and integrated circuits, Japan's economic strength has gradually increased.

By the end of the 1980s, Japanese automobiles had dominated the world, and Japanese industries had blossomed in Western Europe and Latin America. Almost all countries were under the influence of Japan's strong economic strength. Japan was different from December 1986. The usual economic boom was called the "Heisei boom", and the Nikkei index continued to rise from 12,000 in 1985.

In the great stock market storm in 1987, Japan's stock price took the lead in reviving after a short-term sinking, which led to the recovery of the global stock market.

Since then, Japan's stock price has been on a strong upward trend, and now it has reached nearly 39,000 points, more than three times the lowest point in 1985, and 1.6 times that of Japan's gnp in 1985. The per capita gnp exceeds With the United States becoming the world's No. 1, the proportion of Japan's gnp in the world has risen from 6.4% in 1970 to 13.7%, and its net foreign assets have reached 3,800. billions of dollars, ranking first in the world.

In the face of Japan's economic prosperity and the skyrocketing stock market, countless people were fascinated and devoted themselves to the Japanese stock market.

In this process, many people have become rich by making huge profits in the Japanese stock market - not to mention others, Xu Cun alone made more than ten billion US dollars from the Japanese stock market after the 1987 stock market crash.

However-

Will the US really let the Japanese economy threaten its position?

In the words of Clinton-era U.S. Treasury Secretary Summers: “An Asian economic region culminated in Japan, which posed a threat to the U.S. even more than the Soviet Union, created the fear of most Americans.”

Four years ago, the "Plaza Accord" signed by the finance ministers of the United States, Britain, Japan, Germany and France at the Plaza Hotel in New York was aimed at devaluing the US dollar against other major currencies in a controlled manner.

Two years ago, when the New York stock market crashed, U.S. Treasury Secretary Baker put pressure on Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone to let Japan continue to cut interest rates. Soon the yen interest rate fell to 2.5%, and a large number of cheap capital flocked to the stock market and real estate. The annual growth rate of stocks is as high as 40%, and the real estate even exceeds 90%. Today, the Tokyo stock market has risen by 300% in three years. The total real estate price in one area of ​​Tokyo has even surpassed the current national real estate value in the United States. A huge financial bubble has begun to take shape—this can be regarded as America's second blow to the Japanese economy.

If there is no external destructive shock, Japan may gradually achieve a soft landing with a moderate austerity, but what Japan did not expect is that the United States has made the third and most deadly blow to the Japanese economy - with Goldman Sachs in the United States Countless big banks led by them have been shorting the Japanese stock market two months ago, and a large number of small and medium-sized investment banks in the United States have followed suit. The index rises and the situation is reversed.

This is an international financial feast. As one of the largest bankers in the world, how could Xu Cun not participate in it?

Moreover, Xu Cun not only participated, but he was the first to strike, and he was also the most ruthless. As early as four months ago, Xu Cun asked the Mitsubishi consortium for guarantee and signed an average of 35 times the amount of money with more than a dozen Japanese banks. Leveraged contract, and then Xu Cun asked Yuan Tianfan and Mei Aifang to go to Japan to short the Japanese stock market with their team and US$5 billion. (At the same time, Xu Cun also asked He Chaoqiong and Lizhi to bring their team and 10 billion US dollars to Taiwan to sell short the Taiwan stock market - because Xu Cun has not set foot in Taiwan for five or six years, Xu Cun's power is relatively weak, so (The highest leverage that He Chaoqiong and Lizhi can get in Taiwan is only fifteen times, on average, it is not even ten times, so Xu Cun has prepared five billion more for He Chaoqiong and Lizhi.)

Yesterday, the U.S. government strongly criticized the long-standing closed trading of the Japanese stock market and the practice of mutual shareholding among companies within a conglomerate or within the same industry, requiring Japanese companies to change the practice of mutual shareholding and making specific requests to Japan:

1. Reduce the shareholding standard of Japanese banks from 5% to 2%;

2. Cancel the restriction that general trading companies shall not hold shares in manufacturing enterprises;

3. Strengthen the restrictions on subsidiaries holding shares of the parent company.

This move by the United States hides infinite murderous intentions, pointing directly to the source of power for the long-term rise of the Japanese stock market.

Mutual shareholding among companies is the main feature of the Japanese stock market, and it is also one of the reasons for maintaining the long-term rise of Japanese stocks. If Japan adopts the US request to abandon the practice of corporate mutual shareholding, the shares entering the market will increase sharply, and the stock price will rise sharply. will fall sharply as a result.

In Japan, the stocks held by each other between companies are generally held for a long time and will not be easily sold due to the rise or fall of the stock price. Therefore, the stocks held by each other between companies are generally not listed for circulation.

In particular, the requirement for Japanese banks to reduce their holdings of corporate stocks is very sinister - in Japan, banks hold a large number of stocks, and once they are held for a long time, they will not be easily sold. After a long-term bull market, UU read www. .uukanshu.com The profits of the stocks held by the banks are huge. Once the banks sell the stocks, the Japanese stock market is bound to collapse.

So, these three U.S. demands were enough to cause a sharp drop in the Japanese stock market.

This morning, these U.S. demands began to appear on the front pages of Japan's economic media, putting a lot of pressure on the Japanese stock market, making investors aware that the United States did not want the Japanese stock market to remain high for a long time. Confidence in Japanese stocks has begun to shake, and some investors who are keen on Japan and the United States are even ready to sell their holdings.

In other words, the Japanese stock market crash is about to appear.

The meaning of Iwasaki's call to Xu Cun was that he wanted Xu Cun to come to Japan to sit in person at this critical moment - this would help stabilize the hearts of the Japanese banks that provided Xu Cun with ultrhigh leverage, so as to avoid accidents.

actually-

Iwasaki Masakazu has another intention for Xu Cun to come to Japan to sit in person personally - Iwasaki Masakazu hopes that Xu Cun can help him stabilize the core personnel of the Mitsubishi Group and even his own heart!

This time, the Mitsubishi Group invested more than three million US dollars (Mitsubishi Group did not use ultrhigh leverage like Xu Cun to gamble) - no wonder they are nervous, after all, they do not have the same foresight as Xu Cun. !

At any time, Xu Cun knew clearly that the reason why he could enjoy the blessings of Qi people was mainly because he possessed unparalleled wealth and power. Therefore, although Xu Cun really wanted to get Zhu Yin and then go to Japan, he could take into account. This incident and the importance of the Mitsubishi Group to him, Xu Cun still flew to Tokyo on his private jet on the evening of November 24, 1989, the night Zhu Yin left crying.
