Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 326 Now is the moment

   Onodera Rana didn't know why Tao Zhiming seemed to be in high spirits this evening, but she felt very satisfied.

   Every day that followed, she also felt heartfelt satisfaction at the speed at which Onodera Fortune made money as if printing money.

   How much money Onodera Wealth really operates, only four people know.

   In addition to trading platforms such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Onodera Fortune has also opened accounts on trading platforms such as New York and London.

  Although various costs such as handling fees are higher, Ichiro Kawasaki and Nick Sada resolutely implemented Tao Zhiming's request.

  Pantaohui and Tao Zhiming themselves opened overseas accounts, which is much more convenient in Neon, a country that has opened up corporate foreign exchange settlements.

   Entering June, summer has arrived, and the heat of Tokyo is coming out from many corners.

   is no exception, WanderDance ushered in the highest single-day turnover in history.

   "The Pure Land of Bliss" sung by Meiyi Asuka, and "WanderParty" roared by Yinmei Township's band on the stage, because the performances are getting more and more mature, it has really fit the atmosphere of the current money-loving fans.

   However, what Sakai Izumi couldn't figure out was that it seemed that the guests remembered her the most.

  Tao Zhiming told her: that is because in the emptiness after indulgence in the ballroom, people began to look for the inner sunshine. Then the memory of WanderDance will tend to choose the warmest and uplifting her.

   Sakai Quan Shui was in a fog, but when the president smiled and said these words to her, she felt that her ears might be a little red.

  Tao Zhiming couldn't notice her small emotions, and it was only natural that WanderKTV's opening would explode. In addition to keeping Coldplay Digital Entertainment engineers on call at all times to avoid technical failures, WanderKTV has never really been on fire - there are always a few boxes left, and if there is a problem with the system in a room, it can be transferred past.

  New products need a running-in process.

  Tao Zhiming only pays attention to the Toshiba incident that even the 6 trillion stimulus plan cannot be suppressed.

   First, the newspaper published the remarks of the U.S. ambassador to Neon, saying that Toshiba Machinery's approach was a huge damage to the foundation of the relationship between the two sides. The words did not indicate that it was an order, but everyone read the tone from it: to apologize for the losses suffered by the United States, and to take compensation measures.

  Since things are so big, Tao Zhiming can of course be concerned about it. After all, he is also a friend of Mitsui, especially Tatsuo Nojima.

   "...The situation is not good now. On the US side, I heard that specific punishment measures are still being discussed." Nojima Tatsuo's voice was a little depressed, "Now, this is not just something that we need to face at Mitsui."

  Tao Zhiming thought that of course, but he asked: "Is there anything I need help?"

   "...No." Nojima Tatsuo would say that, and he didn't think he could help, but he said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Tao Jun."

   "Then let me tell you some good news." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "KTV, probably because the summer vacation is coming, there is a request for booking in July."

  Nojima Tatsuo laughed and replied: "As expected of you, Tao Jun."

  Tao Zhiming raised an eyebrow at Kinoshita Xiufeng after hanging up the phone.

   "This incident is not easy." Kinoshita Xiufeng was discussing this with him just now, "Does Nojima-kun say you don't need help?"

   "That's Mitsui after all. Besides, above Mitsui, everyone is a community of interests after all."

  Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Xiufeng watched the news on TV.

On the TV, a reporter from Neon sent a report from the United States. The reporter was a little frightened and reported with a worried look: "...As you can see, there are many people on the scene, and everyone is very excited. Our reporters also Be very careful... ah!"

In the picture, a strong man with a star-striped turban struggled to throw a flat and narrow car forum. The cameraman was very dedicated and photographed the tires rolling into the distance. The words "Fxxkoff" were sprayed with paint on them. .

   This kind of tire is, of course, commonly used in lighter and more fuel-efficient neon models.

   "Getoutofmycountry! JAPS!"

   "EachoneofyouisaSpy!"

   In the voiceover, there is a roar that is getting closer and closer.

   Kinoshita Xiufeng sighed: "It's so uncivilized... What does that sentence mean?"

  Tao Zhiming shook his head and didn't translate it. That derogatory name was unique, combining the words neon and ape into one. The latter sentence is even more stale, and it's the kind of thing you all come to steal technology.

  The picture in the news turned to another scene: in front of a car sales store, a Toyota car that was already a little out of shape was parked. Next to the car, there are also many axes or hammers in a frame.

"… As you can see, the owner of this store has put up a sign at the door. If you buy an American car, you can also smash the car next to it. For every smash, the store owner will donate 1 meter to the American Automobile Association. This is simply It's terror marketing..."

"All in all, the Toshiba incident seems to have become a fuse, and now it has become fierce again due to the trade dispute that has eased a little after the neon yen has begun to appreciate. Moreover, the recent depreciation trend of the neon yen is very firm. In the context, the Toshiba incident has exacerbated the dissatisfaction of many people in the United States. We can see a lot of extremely unfriendly slogans from the demonstration team..."

   "Of course, the United States is not without some rational voices. The following pictures are from the US cable news network."

  The next screen is equipped with subtitles and neon simultaneous translation. It is nothing more than some characters talking and debating there.

  The picture of 9 U.S. Congressmen smashing Toshiba radios together at the beginning of the year was played repeatedly, and then the two sides were arguing over the keyword "bashing neon".

However, a person who is very worried about the status quo seems to have inadvertently exacerbated the unease of the Neon people, because he said: Now even those who do not become the "bashing Neon" gang will be considered as part of the Neon lobby. Tools or idiots, it's ridiculous, there's no rational middle ground.

   Kinoshita Xiufeng was a little stunned: "Is this too exaggerated? At the beginning of the month, when I went to the United States for an official visit, wasn't it just the trade friction issue?"

  Tao Zhiming chuckled: "The current situation is probably the result of the negotiation, not the reason for the next negotiation."

   Kinoshita Xiufeng looked at him in amazement. Could it be that Toshiba Machinery is about to be abandoned like this?

   Tao Zhiming was very emotional: exert pressure, divert conflicts, and create bargaining chips.

  In the original dimension, he was still a baby at this time, where did he personally experience the American dad raising the killing stick and smashing the neon? Besides, being here at the moment makes it even more heartfelt and absurd.

   At this moment, just at that moment.

   However, even Neon's own TV station conveys strong concerns, intentionally or unintentionally, and has a faint feeling of blaming Toshiba for causing trouble.

Tao Zhiming understands this. After all, Hongsu is still there at this time. The United States is hyping up the machine tools exported by Toshiba, so that Hongsu can manufacture more advanced black fish in the sea. This is a huge hidden danger, and it may become an influence. A game that tipped the scales of the war.

   This black pot is too big, and Neon can only endure it for a while.

   The most exaggerated is undoubtedly the full-page commentary of a famous newspaper, the headline is: Caesarean section suicide is not enough to make up for sin!

   The editor-in-chief of this big newspaper is not stupid, right?

   So it was obvious that he was trying to lead a scapegoat out, so that everyone could step down.

   In fact, although the results have not come out, the chairman and president of Toshiba Machinery have already resigned, after Neon promulgated emergency economic measures.

   But now that is not enough.

  If you look at the mainstream public opinion around the world, it is obvious that Toshiba Machinery is violating the trade agreement. For the rising neon, there are more than one complaints in the face of neon's cheap and huge output.

   Not only Toshiba Machinery is at the center of the whirlpool, but also a listed company closely related to the Mitsui Consortium. The stock price is very conspicuous in the neon stock market, and the decline is obvious at a glance.

   Because there are negative news related to Toshiba or Mitsui almost every day.

   For example, key departments in the United States have canceled orders with Toshiba.

Sure enough, the U.S. passed the preliminary Toshiba sanctions bill in the House of Representatives soon: the two arrested ministers who handled the matter must be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison, the Toshiba factory in the United States was closed, and any Toshiba Group products were banned. After entering the United States for 5 years, a fine of 10 billion yuan will be levied.

   Neon horror.

   Not to mention anything else, 10 billion yuan, 10 billion yuan in 1987.

   Only those who have been following these latest industry news know that everything has a cause and effect, because the tariffs on semiconductors have been increasing.

   And the target of the attack is on the entire Toshiba Group, but it is not Toshiba Machinery that has committed a crime, or is it aimed at Toshiba Semiconductor?

   The conditions that are now offered are not the sanctions clauses that take effect after the final decision is made. They are nothing more than letting Neon figure it out.

   Familiar recipe and taste.

  Tao Zhiming watched this big scene while enjoying the pleasure of winning gold in the foreign exchange market in this June.

  The final climax is undoubtedly Neon's first confession.

Apologize.

  Toshiba spent 100 million yen to publish an apology statement in 50 mainstream newspapers in the United States.

   No matter how many neon people with patterns cry out that this is a shame, it will not change the fact. The truth also includes: the Prime Minister also apologized to Mi Tong.

   So Tao Zhiming watched this scene with ease, because he also let Onodera Fortune buy some Toshiba Group stocks in advance.

  If you are not cool, why should others target you?

   This is also true. Toshiba Group has always outperformed the average growth rate of the Neon stock market throughout the entire process of the event.

   The gesture of apology is put on, and the next stage is the mediation stage.

  Tatsuo Nojima attended the board of directors of Sanyu Bank in early July.

Seeing his tired and haggard appearance, Tao Zhiming said, "Nojima-kun, although there is nothing to help you, but the funds that Sanyou Bank invested in Onodera Fortune, I arranged some help to stabilize Toshiba's stock price. Now things are going on. Has there been a turnaround?"

"...Thank you." Nojima Tatsuo didn't care about this. In fact, he was sure that Tao Zhiming knew the truth behind it, so he did not shy away from saying, "Now the Neon Semiconductor Association has also increased its funds by hundreds of millions of yen. Help lobby for the final sanction terms. Hopefully, the sanctions will be limited to Toshiba Machinery and the deadlines will be shortened.”

  The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn, and Ueda Masahiro's face was even more gloomy.

Tao Zhiming said in a timely manner: "Semiconductor, since the United States wants to vigorously suppress it, it shows how impressive the future of the personal computer-related industry chain is. Brother Nojima, and Brother Anzhai, both of you are considering how to adjust. The next stage of the semiconductor layout, right?"

   Anzai Zenwei and Nojima Tatsuo looked at each other, but neither spoke.

   Of course there are their respective layouts, but what is a partner in this conference room may not necessarily be in other areas.

Tao Zhiming patted his forehead, and then said: "Actually, I want to make suggestions. It would be better for everyone to have more layouts. Since the establishment of Sanyou, I have been researching opportunities in the field of science and technology, and commissioned others to do a lot of research. In fact , I heard that the scattered stars of the universe are now investing a lot in the semiconductor field. The semiconductor companies of Mitsui and Sumitomo, especially Toshiba, seem to have been poached by many elite members because of the friction in the past two years. Is this status quo? Do you want to turn a blind eye?"

Speaking of Toshiba, Tatsuo Nojima said after a moment of silence: "But now that the situation is being resolutely curbed, the directors do not want to make drastic and persistent actions, such as increasing investment. Moreover, now in the financial sector The profits came too fast..."

Tao Zhiming knew it in his heart, and then smiled: "The construction plan of Mogami Bliss Town has been launched, and this model has been initially sought after by the market. I have been to Xiangdao before, and I feel that with the population density and income level there, There is also a huge room for operation. And since Neon is limited by the current situation, the cost of manufacturing is getting higher and higher, is it possible to transfer some semiconductor production lines with thin profits as a layout? This is very important to contain the universe. The possible rise of state chaebols in the semiconductor field also makes sense.”

   "Transfer out?" Nojima Tatsuo made a move.

  Toshiba has a history of reselling production lines that will soon fall behind to replenish funds. As early as 7 years ago, after two years of negotiations, the 5-micron production line was transferred to Xiaguo.

  Anzhai Shanwei shook his head. NEC had long considered transferring the 3-inch chip production line, but the price was not negotiated.

   "At such a sensitive time now, I didn't think about it." Nojima Tatsuo then thought of the current situation and said calmly.

"Really?" Tao Zhiming smiled and stopped talking about this problem, just planted a seed, "Then for the model of Mogami Bliss, there are people who want to cooperate with Kashima or Osaka. What do you think? The main thing is The other party will take out the funds, Mogami is responsible for exporting the business model in the future, and Sanyou is responsible for providing certain financing support.”

   Speaking of this, Anzhai Shanwei got excited: "The window guide is hoping that we can provide sufficient financial support for super-large construction projects!"

  Tao Zhiming thought that Mie Yefu was really hard enough to blow bubbles.

   The stimulus plan of 6 trillion yen this time is only the vice president's Mie Yefu who estimates that he is secretly entertained. However, the central bank still does not print money, and it does not print money in life or death, but the window guidance is full of power to demand higher loan quotas.

   Tao Zhiming estimates that the major commercial banks are afraid that they will have to issue new bonds soon, right?
