Chapter 525: The Island Nation's Elite Flees, Chen Xing Organizes the Longxing Technology Exhibition
As the Dismemberment Plan was advanced in an orderly manner, many suppliers of Toyota Group became anxious because they found that Yao Nana and Lan Junyi did not think about the final payment at all, but wanted to directly cut off the cash flow of the group.
In a hotel box in Tokyo, more than a dozen "victim" suppliers gathered to discuss how to get the final payment back.
"We can't delay any longer. Longxing Group did not want to give us the final payment at all. They are here to kill Toyota Group!"
"I have applied to the court to freeze Toyota Group's working capital, but the review takes time, and we have to go to court to confront each other."
"At this rate, within half a year, within three months, Toyota Group's working capital will be squandered!"
"It's really cruel, Longxing Group!"
"Chen Xing really wants to destroy us!"
The suppliers in the box became more and more angry. They had thought about going to the door to collect the debt, but they were all sent away by Yao Nana.
Do they have any solution?
They have begun to try various methods, but with little effect.
Because the contract clearly states that the balance of the goods must be paid within six months, that is, as long as Toyota Group pays the balance within six months, it will not be in breach of contract.
Can it wait for six months in this situation?
Half a month is enough!
According to their understanding, Toyota Group's Vice Chairman Lan Junyi is purchasing a large amount of real estate for Toyota Group's temporary residence on business trips.
It is said to be a residence, but in fact it is an excuse to digest the group's funds.
What is outrageous recently is that Toyota Group is also going to purchase a batch of supercars to ensure the commuting of executives.
Equipped with supercars for commuting, large purchases of real estate, and annual salaries of over 100 million, this kind of wasteful plot should not appear in a regular group at all, because it is easy to cause a cash flow break.
But does Yao Nana care?
She doesn't care.
Lan Junyi doesn't care either.
Chen Xing doesn't care even more.
Because Nishikawa Takahiro has a veto, Toyota Group's core technology cannot be transferred to Longxing Group through cooperation. 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 should know that the trading team led by Li Daxiao and Yang Delong has been eyeing it.
In addition to shorting the stock market, they are also continuing to short the yen.
Because after the yen interest rate hike, the domestic economy of the island country has not improved significantly, but has shown an economic downturn.
This is mainly because semiconductor companies and automobile manufacturers are being sniped 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 swallowed up finance and medical care alone.
Finance, with money.
Medical care, money for life.
Relying on these two areas, the US economy has remained strong in the past few decades.
If you want to make long-term investments, other countries are more or less unsafe, and the United States has a strong military strength to escort it, and the US dollar is the hard currency among currencies, so it naturally has gone through decades of bull market.
As for medical treatment, to this day, the high-tech medical equipment of Longguo, Mao Xiong, and even most developed countries are extremely dependent on imports, and the manufacturers are basically from the United States.
The attack on the basic industry makes the top leaders of the island country quite helpless.
But if they cooperate with Chen Xing...
They are also afraid that Longguo will take this opportunity to use the industrial system of Toyota Group to complete the comprehensive upgrade of industrialization.
Once Longguo moves away from the low-end and moves towards high-end industry, who can stop its great revival?
This is a dead end, and the island country has become a pawn in the game of big countries.
…
When Toyota Group's suppliers were indignant and scolded 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 board of directors of Toyota Group unanimously passed a procurement plan. We will purchase 50,000 brilliant X2 mobile phones through batch orders to equip all Toyota Group's formal employees with work mobile phones. The total expenditure is about 3 billion to 5 billion yen. ]
When the announcement was made, the entire island country's Internet exploded, and investors immediately questioned it.
[Suzuki Mio]: "Is Toyota Group crazy? They bought houses and cars, and then bought mobile phones. Is this how you give us investors' money?"
[Takada Yuto]: "Ya meilu! I don't want to play anymore. Give me back my money. I will never invest in stocks again!"
[Matsumoto Tamaki]: "Longxing Group is too much. Since taking over Toyota Group, all kinds of bad news have continued. Chen Xing doesn't treat us island country investors as human beings!"
[Hideki Horikawa]: "Nikkei 225 Index Futures hit the limit down. It's over. My life is over. I'm going to Longguo and Chen Xing to fight!"
If it was said that people couldn't wait for the stock market to open before, then now the island country's retail investors and institutions are afraid of the opening.
As a leading indicator, the night index futures can determine to a certain extent whether the opening is high or low, and how the intraday period will go.
Now the Nikkei 225 has fallen by 9%, and no one wants to open.
Because once the market opens, there is a high probability of a devastating and tragic decline.
Not only the Nikkei 225 index futures are falling, but also the stock market index futures of the entire Asia and the world are falling, except for the three major indexes of Dragon Country that keep attacking upward.
Faced with this situation, if you are a trader of international funds, what would you do?
It's obvious.
Follow the market trend.
Trading against the market often involves huge risks. If you are not sure, you can easily lose everything.
In addition to the wailing of retail investors in the island countries, a large number of grassroots workers are worried about the economy, and can even be said to be confused.
Why is this the case?
This has to start with the economic structure of the island countries and the pillar industries.
As we all know, the island country is a country with scarce resources and highly dependent on imports.
It does not have rich mineral resources or a large 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 import and export trade, foreign exchange reserves are particularly important.
The island countries earn foreign exchange in four areas: one is exporting seafood, the second is exporting cars, the third is exporting high-precision equipment, and the fourth is the supply of various industrial materials.
Now the automobile export trade has been cut in half, and high-precision equipment is under the supervision of the United States. The income from industrial raw materials, semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresists, have been conquered by the Dragon Country. The island countries only have seafood to earn foreign exchange.
Is seafood enough?
Obviously not enough.
In the past, automobile exports accounted for 40% or even higher of foreign exchange, 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 in the era, if placed on an individual or a group, is an unbearable weight.
For example, the Jenny spinning machine, in the book, it is a pioneer in industrialization, but in the eyes of the spinners at the time, it is something that caused them to lose their jobs.
Another example is the globalization promoted by the United States, which threw its own low-end industry to Asia. As a result, the bottom workers have no jobs and can only return to farming and be called rednecks.
Perhaps in the future, history books will only record the industrial structure adjustment of the island country. Whether it is failure or success, a few short sentences contain too many families unemployed.
…
FSA Financial Department.
In the president's office.
Saito Jing was promoted again. He looked at the arrow that turned downward and felt desperate and helpless. The precise sniping of Longxing Group destroyed the industrial foundation of the island country.
Automobile and semiconductor material exports, the two major foreign exchange earning areas of the island country, are now strangled by Longxing Group.
"What should I do?"
Saito Jing muttered to himself.
While speaking, he clicked the mouse to check the international price changes of semiconductor raw materials.
When he saw that the prices of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers dropped by another 2%, he fell into silence.
Since Longxing Group conquered the relevant fields, the international quotations of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers have been falling all the way.
A year ago, the quotation of 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers was US$270, and now the quotation has fallen to US$136, which is close to halving.
Why is it falling so hard?
Longxing Industry, Kunpeng Industry, and Shanghai Silicon Group, three Longguo companies, currently control 70% of the global semiconductor silicon wafer share.
18-inch, 20-inch, 22-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, and 14N purity, directly strangled the island country's 11N12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers and obtained pricing power.
Ordinary people in the island country may only feel the unemployment crisis now, but in Saito Ii's view, this is not just an unemployment crisis, but an economic crisis for the entire island country.
Not only did Saito Ii see the precursor of the economic crisis, some businessmen with a keen sense of smell also noticed the abnormality.
For example, Miyazaki Yu, when he saw Yao Nana messing around with Toyota Group, he knew that the talks had collapsed.
The consequence of the collapse of the talks is that an economic crisis may break out, and the real economy and the financial system will be hit hard. The island country may regress decades of development like Thailand.
Those who know history know that Thailand did not rely on tourism in the past. Their industry and finance are ranked in Asia.
But with Soros and other Wall Street financial capital shorting the Thai baht, Thailand almost returned to poverty overnight.
Without industrial and financial support, they can only develop tourism.
With the rapid development of tourism, many gray industries have quietly grown in order to better serve tourists and increase income.
In order to avoid wealth shrinkage and asset depreciation, many wealthy people in the island countries began to sell assets or exchange their yen for US dollars, euros and dragon country currency.
Because once an economic crisis comes, local currencies and real estate assets will depreciate sharply, and even companies will be worthless.
For example, during the Asian economic crisis in 1997, Japanese and Korean companies without cash flow were ruthlessly bought by Wall Street in the United States. To this day, Japanese and Korean chaebols are still working on Wall Street.
The ignition of the escape fuse made Hideki Kamioka very anxious.
In the past, he had ridiculed Dragon Country's foreign exchange controls, which restricted capital outflows and felt that he was not free. Now he wanted to have foreign exchange controls to reduce the speed of capital outflows.
Minister of Finance Mitsunari Ishida never thought that in just one or two days, the capital outflows from the island countries would double, including a large number of wealthy elites.
You should know that in most countries in the world today, domestic economic distribution follows the 80/20 rule, which means that 20% of the people control 80% of the wealth in society.
The people who flee the island countries to avoid financial risks are the 20% elites, or the top 1% of the 20%, the richest people. These people have a much more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people.
"The elite class is already pessimistic about the domestic economy, and we must find a way to reverse the situation." Ishida Mitsunari muttered to himself.
He thought that the Toyota Group was an event that guaranteed unemployment, but he didn't expect it to cause a wave of panic in the country.
If it is not corrected in time, there is a high possibility of a recurrence of economic depression.
If the society falls into a state of deflation, the island economy, which is poor in land resources and highly dependent on imports, may regress by decades.
...
The next morning.
Nikkei 225 opened as scheduled.
Almost without surprise, there was a five-minute circuit breaker at the opening, and the confidence of all retail investors had been wiped out.
Some people cut their losses and left the market.
Some people flew around.
Some people quietly bought the bottom.
The "smart money" who bought the bottom lost 3% of their accounts in just five minutes, and it is still falling.
The current island stock market is like the US stock market in 2000, 2001 and 2002. It fell by nearly 90% in three years, and all retail investors were buried in the ground.
The frequent declines in the stock market have brought about an increase in savings deposits.
People began to not believe that they could make money in the capital market, which was a very scary thing.
Because the stock market is not just an investment market, it is also a financing channel for enterprises.
If the stock market cannot develop, enterprises will not be able to raise funds in the secondary market, and naturally, the whole body will be affected.
"Nikkei 225, I hate you!!!"
Ginza Building.
A man climbed to the top.
After he shouted with all his might, he suddenly jumped forward, and the crowd watching below closed their eyes silently.
There was a muffled sound, and several doctors immediately got off the ambulance parked nearby to deal with the aftermath of the man who jumped from the building.
"Another one jumped. There 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 use leverage to trade stocks."
"Trading stocks is terrible."
"Nine out of 10 people who enter the stock market lose money. This is a gambling place. How can it not be terrible? The most important thing is that our economy is not good and there is no extra money to pull it up."
"There are still people who want to jump!"
Under everyone's gaze, another person stood at the highest point.
There were police officers beside him trying to dissuade him, but it was still useless. The same muffled sound of plop and the same process of collecting bodies.
Not only in the island country, there are desperate stockholders who jump off buildings because of the stock market all over the world.
On the other side.
The stock market in Longguo is completely the opposite.
With the announcement of the acquisition of Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory by Longxing Group last night, it, as a technology leader, was once again pulled up by domestic and foreign capital, with an increase of up to 17%.
Under the high increase, the entire market was driven upward.
The current Jinlong Technology Index is very similar to the Nasdaq Index more than a decade ago, which makes people full of speculation desire.
Due to the crazy rise of the stock market, many retail investors have made money.
Some go to buy houses.
Some go to travel.
Some go to change cars.
The economy, which was originally depressed due to the US interest rate hike, has gradually been revitalized, and many people are willing to spend money.
If people are willing to consume, the stagnant economy will flow.
If you have observed the water source in the mountains, you know that a stagnant water is easy to stink and turbid, but if it is a flowing stream, the water source will be clear and sweet.
The money in the bank is not idle, and the money in your hands is not stagnant. This is the performance of the upward economy.
At this time, stockholders in the stock bar began to float and talk with others.
[Feng Xiaoxixi]: "I made another 20,000 yuan. Tonight I decided to go out for a massage and help the technicians' younger brother."
[Yuhuang Emperor]: "Sick parents, she is in debt, and her younger brother has to go to school. If we don't help them, is there still love in this society?"
[Big A Stock God]: "It is said that Buffett's 20% annual return is very impressive. My current return rate is as high as 140%. I feel that I am also a stock god, and I can be Buffett!"
[Black Flash]: "Come on, brother, we are in the right place. If the country does not want to use the stock market to revitalize the economy, how can we get rich!"
The stockholders of Longguo and the stockholders of the island country are at two extremes at this moment.
One makes money like drinking water, and the other loses money like running water. The national economy is reflected vividly in the stock market.
Wall Street, such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, have given up the US stock market and turned to embrace the Longguo stock market, injecting a lot of funds, and raising the buying level of Longxing Group to "overweight" to allow investors to continue buying.
Less than a month after listing, the stock price is going to 30 times, but everyone thinks that Longxing Group can at least double 50 times.
…
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 could not adapt to the double-fold screen page, and there would be gaps. The three-fold makes up for this shortcoming." Liang Ziang, the person in charge of the folding mobile phone project, quickly answered.
The Brilliant X2 folding is well received, but a problem was found after promotion.
That is, mobile phone applications sometimes cannot achieve full screen, because the software does not design pages specifically for the double-folding screen, resulting in blank spaces.
But the three-fold is different, it can directly apply the tablet 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-folding screens.
"good."
Chen Xing folded it a few more times.
After playing with it for a while, he looked at the crease of the flexible screen and said, "Is there any way to make this crease lighter? Although it is not obvious when the screen is bright, it is particularly prominent when the screen is dark."
"This can only be left to the technical department. I can only say that we should do our best."
Liang Ziang didn't know what to do.
Although three-folding is good, the folding area of the flexible screen will have obvious creases, but this is unavoidable.
Chen Xing did not dwell on this issue, and immediately said: "The design is good. You can discuss it with other departments and try to make a real machine within three months."
"Okay CEO." Liang Ziang responded and asked at the same time: "What is the name of the funds for this project?"
"What is the estimated production cost of a three-fold mobile phone?"
"Because the configuration has not yet been determined, but I estimate that it will most likely exceed 20,000, because the three-folding process is far more complicated than the double-folding process."
"Twenty thousand mobile phones..."
Chen Xing fell into thinking.
This is not a cheap price, and the groups that can consume it are either rich or expensive.
"Let's do this. For project fund approval, you go to Vice President Zhang. As for the project name, you decide on your own. I only want the final results."
"OK."
With Chen Xing's approval, Liang Ziang can go ahead and do it.
In fact, he didn't know much about making tri-folding products because the cost was too expensive, with one unit costing tens of thousands of yuan.
That's why he put together a prototype tri-folding model and brought it to Chen Xing for approval.
Only when Chen Xing nodded did he dare to continue developing folding screen mobile phones.
After Liang Ziang left, Chen Xing opened an encrypted document and typed the words "tri-fold mobile phone" on it.
Next to the three-fold mobile phone, there are low-altitude flying cars, ternary computers, ternary chips...
Why make this document?
Very simple.
Chen Xing wants to hold a science and technology exhibition.
If the technology accumulated by Longxing Group needs to hold press conferences again and again, it would be too cumbersome. Chen Xing does not have so much energy. After all, the financial decisive battle has now reached a fever pitch.
So Chen Xing's current idea is to hold a technology exhibition exclusive to Longxing Group to give the world a big technological shock.
In order to prepare for this exhibition, Chen Xing had to ask about the progress every now and then to decide when it would be held.
Just as Rebus once said, this time Chen Xing will bet all the reputation he has accumulated in the past to successfully organize this science and technology exhibition.
…
While Chen Xing is still busy thinking about how to make Longxing Group go further, the chaebol groups in Japan and South Korea are thinking about how to hold on to the market.
Because Japan and South Korea are close to the Dragon Kingdom, their economies are being continuously siphoned off.
Business order volume dropped.
Market demand changes.
Domestic economic depression.
This has led to changes in the peninsula's economic system. Many chaebol groups, such as Korean Star Group and Lotte Group, have begun to sell off unimportant assets.
Wall Street giants are also interested in selling their stocks when they see the economic downturn.
From the perspective of Wall Street, Peninsula Enterprises has lost most of its value. Even if it is as strong as Korean Star Group, it now has to face layoffs and reduce capital expenditures.
However, LG Group, which cooperates with Longxing Group, is not affected and even has a vague tendency to become the number one chaebol.
Faced with today's severe economic situation, senior leaders of the peninsula are running around the world, trying to find a way to break the situation.
The experience of the peninsula and the flight of the domestic elite made the island nation's Speaker Hideki Ueoka unable to sleep. He could clearly feel that the building was about to collapse in just an instant.
He had to do something.
He wants to revive the domestic economy.
After reading a large number of books and reviewing a large amount of historical materials, Hideki Ueoka found a strategy to provide a large number of jobs for the people at the bottom, which is to learn from the large infrastructure of the Dragon Kingdom, use work as a relief, and create a large number of low-level jobs.
As for how to build large-scale infrastructure, he also thought of the land purchased by the island country in Brazil, where large-scale infrastructure construction can be carried out.
