Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 1008 Independence Day Holiday

Time is always passing quietly like the drizzle on a spring night.

After working in the White House, after the freshness passed, Carter gradually felt a little bored within a few days.

All kinds of assessments reflect endless reports.Although this is the job a newcomer should have, that is to become a ruthless PPT monkey
But for Carter, who is used to giving orders, it seems a bit too plain.Sometimes, I like to enjoy peace, but after all, I am just a young man under 30 years old, and some exciting work content occasionally comes to mind.

As a major in the Army, and in the eyes of senior officials, he is also known as a "China hand". Carter usually receives tasks related to the field of military defense or the affairs of the Far East.It may be that something happened in the world, and they have to make a report to evaluate the problems reflected in that event: such as the level of technological development, such as mobilization ability, etc. The directions of observation are varied, and it can even be said to be all-encompassing.

These two hundred or so people, including agents of the FBI and Narcotics Bureau under the Ministry of Justice; The agency's agents are the eyes and ears, collecting information from all over the world all the time, analyzing and judging it.

Although life is boring, Carter is not willing to give up the efficient way to obtain information.For example, information about Japan.

In the past, I wanted to obtain information about its economic trend, either through public channels such as the news media, or through comprehensive analysis of things disclosed intentionally or unintentionally by members of the Japanese economy such as Michio Yasuda.

And after arriving here, whether it is the Ministry of Energy or the Ministry of Finance, I can receive their information.It can even be analyzed and evaluated by experts in relevant economic fields!

In the latest report, Carter saw some topics that aroused his interest: the Bank of Japan began to issue low-interest or even interest-free loans to banks!
The role of this money is also obvious, that is, to avoid the risk of a run as much as possible!
But among them, regarding the judgment on the trend of Japan's economy, Carter does not agree with the argument that they will recover in the next year or the year after.Indeed, looking at the per capita GDP and other data cited in the report, Carter agrees with this conclusion.

In 1989, Japan’s per capita GDP was 465.8 million yen, but in such a bubble era, this indicator was obviously too high; last year, this figure dropped sharply to 350 million yen, and this year, the experts’ forecast It is floating in the range of 330 million yen to 335 million yen.The decline has been controlled and will rebound next year.As for the reason, it is naturally because Japan's current economic structure has not collapsed, which is similar to the situation in the United States in 87, and the fundamentals are too stable.

In human terms, this logic is: whether the stock market plummets or the real estate market plummets, this can only be called the bursting of the asset bubble.Assets that were once valuable are now worthless!
Of course, this will cause a large number of people to go bankrupt, and even return to the pre-liberation overnight.But this has not affected Japan's pillar industry today: manufacturing!

Japanese industrial products are still popular all over the world. As long as the world's demand for Japanese products is still there, Japan's economic foundation will not be shaken and will not collapse!Even after the asset bubble burst, people who were really making money on their own could no longer make money, and were even in debt. In this environment, they will be forced to work harder!This will create greater production capacity and allow more industrial products to flow out of Japan.

With this basis, just like the stock market crash in the United States in 87, after talking with several economists in the office, Carter found that they generally believed that Japan's recovery would be next year, and it would not exceed the year after that at the latest.

Regarding this conclusion, Carter knew in his heart that this was different from the history he knew.But from a certain point of view, this is another good thing. Just as Carter has not exchanged the yen currency for a long time, Carter is also based on the stability of Japan's fundamentals. Even after such a wave, there will be such a bloodbath. The nascent growth maintains a certain degree of confidence, and it is a bet that the yen will appreciate.

If the economics and financial circles at this time generally hold this view, then the yen reserved in Carter's hand is not worried that no one will want it.Even now, in a Japanese bank, with an annual interest rate of nearly six points per year, Carter has become the one who makes money lying down.

Make money while lying down, spend while standing up!
On weekdays, Xiao Yinxin gets out of school very late.Basically, they can’t go home until six or seven o’clock, and after Carter gets off work from the White House, it takes nearly an hour to get home.

Have another dinner, and it will be around eight o'clock casually.

After getting tired of each other for less than two hours, it was time to wash up and get ready to rest.If you don't look at the expenses of the mansion, security, and nanny, Carter even feels that his life has never been so frugal.

The meals are normal home-cooked dishes. Although the ingredients are well used, they are really not that expensive.Especially in this year and month, meat products, which are relatively expensive in most areas, also belong to the price of cabbage in the United States.

But once the weekend comes, the desire to "sprinkle coins" is completely irresistible!

Even though there are only two days a week, counting the few months before work, you can basically go to the beaches of Miami, the Gobi Desert in Yellowstone Park, and the waterfalls. all over
In a blink of an eye, the time came to March 7.

The sunlight woke up Carter, looking at the sleeping girl beside him, Carter lightly moved and got up quietly.

"Good morning, sir!"

"Good morning! Breakfast will be eaten after Yin Xin wakes up!"

After getting along for several months, Carter has figured out the habits of the two nannies.It is quite like the habit of "grandma thinks you are hungry". I don't know if it was developed in the difficult period of Korea in the past, when it was difficult to eat a full meal.

They attach great importance to food!When greeting, the most frequently asked topic is whether you want to eat now
But let alone, since they came, Carter has hardly dealt with his stomach casually, and they will prepare food almost every moment.

"Okay, sir, your dress was delivered last night from the dry cleaner. I hung it in the cloakroom!"

"Okay, hard work."

Nodding, Carter walked to the bathroom to wash up.

Today is the Independence Day holiday, which is basically equivalent to National Day. Although there is only one day off, as a member of the Federation Cardinal, people like Carter naturally have a lot of benefits.

For example, tonight's concert at the National Mall, even if it is a newcomer to the White House, there are still a lot of benefits that it should have.There are almost as many tickets as there are, and the federation pays for the tickets. Naturally, Carter will not be polite with the federation's finances, and directly received two tickets.

The concert starts at 07:30 in the evening, as for the daytime!
First go to the clothing store to pick up Li Yinxin's dress, when the 12-year-old girl officially grows up.In just a few months, the gowns she brought no longer fit, and there was not enough time to order them.

With a little modification, it becomes the best choice!

The rest of the time is naturally to go out to feel the festive atmosphere, and then wait for the night to fall
