Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 305 The Status of Strength

   The two of them didn't know the lines they should say at this time, but their expressions were still on the right track.

"Hey!" Tao Zhiming's expression was solemn for a while, then he waved his hand with a smile, "I said no wonder why I came with Kitagawa, you don't know, I have asked Suzuki-san to dig up Kitagawa and Kondo Masahiko for over a month. material."

  Ueda Masahiro: ? ? ?

   Kinoshita Xiufeng: ? ? ?

   Anyway, Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng are stupid.

  What are you talking about?

  The Tao family took action, just for this? It's as if you were talking about your own little white face.

"It's true." Tao Zhiming vowed, "After we reached an agreement on this matter, the atmosphere became warm. What did you say to me about freedom and respect for different hobbies? Isn't this proof? Good guy, look at me with full eyes. Appreciation, being stared at, I felt uncomfortable. So I rushed them drunk and sent them away. It was so terrifying. Terrible!"

   "Are you serious?" Kinoshita Xiufeng was shocked, how was it different from what he expected.

   Ueda Masahiro was tortured by the train running in his mouth, and his eyes were as big as a rising cow: "Speak seriously!"

  Tao Zhiming was very happy after this.

   He said cheerfully: "I just think you don't think they are so arrogant, take it easy. Even if they are the dog legs of the United States, they don't have to be treated so carefully. If the United States is so invincible, why not level the world?"

  "..." Ueda Masahiro asked, "Are you sure they are from the United States?"

   "Of course he wouldn't say that directly." Tao Zhiming sneered, "It's just that I know his purpose very well."

   "Speak!" Ueda Masahiro's patience value was also rapidly decreasing.

   "Well, anyway, the last thing is to say, I hope I can become a friend of the Tao family and promote certain ideas in the field of culture and entertainment."

  Tao Zhiming said those words again, about freedom and peace.

   Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng were very puzzled: "That's all?"

   "That's all? Haha." Tao Zhiming sneered, "It's completely like a 'charitable family' that doesn't compete with the world, right?"

   "It sounds like there is no problem." Ueda Masahiro said suspiciously.

  Tao Zhiming looked at Kinoshita Xiufeng: "What do you think, Brother Xiufeng?"

   Kinoshita Xiufeng stared: "Hurry up and say, your expression is very disdainful."

This guy doesn't even have the patience to make a good show, Tao Zhiming can only say: "...Okay. Now I also agree with what you said, the Tao family is not a family, but an organization. Different people are responsible for different fields. For example, the Tao Ya person is in charge of the propaganda field, and the Tao Shan person may be in charge of the field related to intelligence or violence."

   "The purpose? Their purpose?"

   "Of course it will help the United States achieve better governance."

   Ueda Masahiro was very worried: "It's for the country of the United States, aren't you worried?"

   "Wrong, not for the country of the United States." Tao Zhiming shook his head.

   Ueda Masahiro's puzzled face: "...what do you mean?"

  Tao Zhiming didn't give a **** anymore: "It should be said that the country of the United States was established to serve the powerful. Since the rice dollar and gold are no longer linked, the rules of the game have changed."

   Kinoshita Xiufeng also had a puzzled face: "...What do you mean?"

  Tao Zhiming is a bit of a pain in the ass. Where should I start this lesson?

In fact, regarding the difference between the so-called industrial capital and financial capital, there are also means of seigniorage seigniorage and asset control that rely on exchange rates and financial policies on the basis of the global industrial division of labor, and then cover up the struggle for hegemony and military deterrence at this time. Value output, this class is beyond class.

   After all, it wasn’t long before financial capital really built this set of gameplay, that is, after the oil crisis in the 1970s. Moreover, Hongsu has not yet collapsed, and financial capital has not yet fully reached a consensus.

   It is not easy for two people in this era to fully understand the situation.

   There is too much content in it.

Tao Zhiming thought about it and said, "Let me ask a question. Master, you often chat with Professor Yamamoto, and you should have heard of his distress. Regarding the Tibet Province, there was no way to accept the request of the United States and signed a financial agreement. Regarding the agreement, he still can't figure out why he should give in like this, right?"

   Ueda Masahiro nodded, then asked nervously, "Does it have something to do with the Tao family?"

"...Don't keep thinking about the Tao family, the Tao family is just a **** with little power." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Actually, in this respect, Professor Yamamoto is too ideal. In fact, Neon did not choose , do you all agree?"

The two were silent for a while, and Kinoshita Xiufeng said: "Yes, there is an Akasaka News Center next to Mori Minoru's Roppongi Hills. American military officers often go there by helicopter. Why are the bars and dance halls in Roppongi like this? More? Isn't that the reason?"

"The reason why I can make money after every interest rate cut news is here." Tao Zhiming said, "Because Neon has no choice. So, they made the best choice in this situation. choose."

The    words are the same as tongue twisters, Ueda Masahiro's eyes are fixed: "What kind of choice is called the best choice?"

"The best option is, instead of letting the Americans fully harvest the wealth accumulated by Neon in the past 40 years, it is better to let the most elite group of Neon harvest part of it first, and then transfer it to the outside of Neon in various ways. level, and recreate a neon overseas!"

  …

   The Taoya people who returned to a quiet villa drank a lot of water, but still felt dizzy and had an uncomfortable stomach.

   But his mood was very high, and even the maid who brought the water seemed to be a bit brighter tonight.

   "Tao Sang, that Tao Dalang, you seem to take it very seriously." Kitagawa hadn't left yet.

  Taoya laughed, but his laughter was actually delayed a little bit, and then he forcefully said, "He's...a very smart guy. He's pretending! I can see it!"

   "Which part is loaded?"

"I don't know about that part of the Tao family! But...the wine he took out! The way it was placed! Betrayed him." Tao Yaren's eyes showed a little smug, "but...he can actually guess...the direction of my strategy. It's the whole... East Asia! Very clever!"

   Kitagawa asked again: "Since he knows the Tao family...why is he still so disrespectful to you?"

   "Pretending to be confused...it's good!" After Tao Yaren finished speaking, he looked at Kitagawa suspiciously, "Have you...offended him before?"

   "...No!" Kitagawa looked innocent, "I haven't touched it at all!"

  Tao Yaren also didn't understand: "Could it be that... Kondo Masahiko didn't tell the truth? Did Tao Dalang really angered that night?"

   Kitagawa also got a little more anger in his eyes: "After I go back, I will ask him more carefully!"

  Taoya felt thirsty again, so he took a few sips of water, and then he felt a little more comfortable in his throat. I drank too much water and burped again. The smell of alcohol was surging, and I felt a little nauseous for a while.

   He frowned and walked to the bathroom with a twist.

  This wine is really strong, and after drinking a lot of water, it’s easy to want to pee.

   When he came back from the bathroom, his footsteps became steady and his mind became clearer.

"Maybe, he was really angry at the time, and he didn't care about a mere singer at all, so he did it. When I saw you today, I might be using the topic to play." Tao Yaren's tongue smoothed a lot. Mahiko's dissatisfaction was used as an excuse to hold on to it, but it became a bargaining chip. So, he is very smart."

   "...So it is." Kitagawa was skeptical.

"Isn't the best wine in the ballroom now all with whiskey and brandy?" Tao Yaren smiled, "He didn't know you were going, but he still placed Neon, Zhou Kingdom and Xia Kingdom wine in advance. The most obvious direction is to test me. Because I know the Tao family, I guess that the purpose of my looking for him is to use his identity to do something to the Xia Kingdom. As for the wine of the Zhou Kingdom, I want to imply that , he knows our mission is to exert influence throughout East Asia."

   Kitagawa couldn't believe it: "How could he... guess?"

"As expected of the person who killed Iwasaki Kuranosuke." Tao Yaren was full of admiration, "I'm looking for him, whether it's good or evil, to show his talent first, and then personally tell his wealth and strength. Wanted to tell me: he was either a very tough foe or a very valuable friend."

   "...That's why you suddenly said, is it to make friends?"

"Yeah, look, didn't he suddenly become very refreshing?" Tao Yaren smiled aftertaste, "With the strength he has shown recently, even if Chiyan Xinshui exerts influence, Dentsu will also It will be swayed to cooperate with him fairly. The exchange I proposed is just going with the flow. He was very angry at Kondo Masahiko before, didn't he go with the flow in the end?"

   "But Mahiko and Akina..."

   Taoya frowned and looked at him.

   Kitagawa lowered his head: "I see, I will let Mahiko do it."

Only then did Tao Yaren nodded with satisfaction: "Xitaosang, you grew up in the United States, and he is a descendant of the Xia Kingdom in Neon. For our Tao family, your background is the best. You don't need to Worrying that he will threaten your position, I have another use for him. The direction of his role is precisely the Chinese-speaking world that you cannot enter smoothly. "

   Kitagawa said worriedly: "But he...was not nurtured by you from the very beginning. With such a strong strength, will he be willing to do things according to your requirements?"

Tao Yaren smiled confidently: "Yes. Chiyan Xinshui will not give up, he will need help at some point. Besides, the neon advertising industry and entertainment industry have strict barriers. If he wants to enter, he can only join us. camp!"

  …

In   WanderDance, Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng heard Tao Zhiming's words, and their mouths could not close for a long time.

   What is called this is the best choice?

   Recreate a neon at the financial level?

Tao Zhiming wasn't going to talk too far, so he started with recent events: "In Showa 46 (1972), the rice dollar was no longer exchanged for gold. The neon yen to the rice dollar rose from 360:1 to 220 to 250. :1. Not only neon, the currencies of many developed countries have appreciated, and the world has entered an era of floating exchange rates.”

   Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng listened quietly.

  Tao Zhiming continued: "The exchange rate rises, and exports are hindered. Then the following year, the Middle East war broke out, and the price of oil quadrupled in more than a month. The impact of this is that prices have risen across the board since then."

   Ueda Masahiro nodded: "Indeed, commodity prices in Showa 48 rose a lot."

"The rise in prices brings about a crisis." Tao Zhiming said with emotion, "Just this year, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry approved the VLSI plan. Neon decided to gather the strength of major consortiums to help the semiconductor industry in the future. Take the lead in the revolution. This year, the United States has done two very important things.”

   "What?" Kinoshita Xiufeng always felt that there was some kind of secret in what he said at the moment.

Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "In June of Showa 48, the United States first revised the trade law and added some very special provisions. Then they went to the Middle East in July and got a very important condition: after that OPEC's oil transactions can only be done in metric dollars."

   However, with the knowledge reserve and pattern of the two, I could not understand why these two things are important.

Tao Zhiming said with admiration: "Since then, when all countries in the world are struggling to recover from the crisis caused by oil, the status of the Mi Yuan has become more stable. In the past, there was as much gold as the Mi Yuan. Now, buried underground I don’t know how much oil there is. The whole world needs rice dollars, so the United States will print them. Anyway, things like rice dollars can still be returned to the United States in various ways. Look, in just ten years, two things happened. the oil crisis.”

   Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng both frowned, what does this mean?

“In a crisis, economists are reflecting, and politicians are rotating. In other developed countries, workers’ wages are rising along with rising prices, so it is getting harder and harder for their industries to recover. In Neon, everyone is They are used to overcoming difficulties together, so they can barely bear it. But in the United States, they have begun to promote financial liberalization. They believe that the financial market needs innovation, such as free interest rates, free exchange rates, and open markets and capital..."

   Now Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Xiufeng understood: "Isn't this what's happening in Neon now?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhiming laughed, "The new trade law adopted by the United States in Showa 48 stipulates that the United States can sanction and retaliate against countries whose trade practices are unfair or unreasonable, and they can also impose sanctions on countries that comply with international trade rules. Ruling. The world's transactions are mainly settled in rice dollars. If you face sanctions, what can you do?"

"If you don't want to face sanctions, you can only agree to the other party's conditions when negotiating. One of these conditions is that finance must be free, and it must meet the US trade law's definition of fairness or reasonableness. Fairness is to comply with international trade. The requirements of the agreement; reasonable, that is, not harming the commercial interests of the United States.”

"Although it's a pity." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Neon is not a country that can resist the United States. Therefore, the semiconductor agreement was signed. Therefore, the Plaza Agreement was also signed. Professor Yamamoto just doesn't understand, this is because Neon cannot. Resist it. Because within the framework of the new US trade law and international trade agreement, in the context of the US dollar still being the world currency, and within the reach of the US around the world, this new set of rules is the truth. "

  Tao Zhiming looked at the two dumbfounded people and smiled: "This is a new order based on rules. The United States talks to Neon from the position of strength. Is Neon qualified to say no?"

   "No." Tao Zhiming asked himself, "Neon does not have this qualification."
