Chapter 1025 Brazenly Bringing Private Goods

"Abolish the 25% increase on Japanese car imports, but increase the anti-dumping duties on imported TVs and computer monitors to 40%. Tsk tsk, you young people are still ruthless!"

Two days later, in Scowcroft's office, Carter smuggled a report of his own into the daily transfers for personal gain.

Oh no, this cannot be called entrainment!

It can only be said that when sending the documents, he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Scowcroft.

"What's more! There is also a quota limit. We discussed it and thought that the annual import quota of 400 million units is a reasonable number! I just roughly calculated the specific data. According to the statistics of the Japanese Ministry of Labor, the current Japanese manufacturing industry workers, the average hourly output value is 3861 yen. And 400 million TVs or computer monitors are worth about 360 billion yen. That is to say, the output of these 400 million units will be directly solved by Japan More than 1000 jobs."

"Even if the jobs indirectly driven by us are 2.5 in the United States, there are at least 14 indirect jobs. In this field, it can solve the employment problem of 14 people, or even [-] families, which is not bad! This figure , should be within the barely acceptable range of Japan!"

Stepping on the soft carpet in Scowcroft's office, Carter crossed his legs leisurely.Always looking at the data will inevitably lead to the loss of humanity.

From Carter's point of view, the reservation of 14 jobs for Japan may not touch Japan's psychological bottom line in the field of display equipment.In other words, it is not possible for them to completely break their defenses and refuse directly.But from the perspective of those original workers, once the United States accepts Carter's proposal and the Japanese high-level officials agree.

That will be tens of thousands of laid-off and re-employment.
Although, the export is not left, the restrictions on the automobile industry are not being opened, the big deal is to go back!
But how much is the restored market over there? !
But then again, the so-called "righteousness does not control wealth, and compassion does not control soldiers".Just looking at the data on paper doesn't make Carter really feel ashamed.Even more ruthless
"Increasing U.S. imports of goods. Agricultural products. Computer products?"

Without directly responding to Carter, the old man just read the report silently.

At the beginning of the report, after it was proposed that the restrictions on the import of Japanese automobiles can be relaxed, it is to strengthen the control on the import of Japanese electronic products, especially display equipment, and the last item has become "in order to adjust the trade between the United States and Japan." Structure, to calm the problem of excessive trade surplus or deficit. Japan needs to increase its imports of American goods, and the following are suggested industries”

The first item, agricultural products!
There is nothing to say about this point. The United States is sparsely populated, and now, the coverage of intensive production is increasing.A small farm, one or two old farmers, the grain produced by the large farm they can take care of can almost supply the rations of a village!
Agricultural products cannot be sold at high prices in the United States. The root cause is too much supply!
Moreover, in recent years, although the economy has been turbulent, in reality, it has been considered smooth.Reports have already been published one after another on the problem of overproduction in American agriculture.

It's not new at all, and Carter came up with the idea of ​​exporting a plethora of produce to Japan.It is a relatively good way. In places like Japan with many people and little land, it is necessary to ensure the stability and safety of the staple food, the land that can be used to grow melons, fruits and vegetables, and the patience to farm in the countryside during the frenzy of the previous few years. There will not be too many people.

As a result, the relative price of agricultural and sideline products in Japan is relatively high!There is nothing to say about the proposal to take the surplus things from the United States to Japan to sell at a good price. Basically, it can be directly passed on to Lao Bu or Baker.

But when he saw the next suggested item that followed, the old man was a little bit overwhelmed:

"Do you know the total amount of electronic products that Japan imports from us in the United States every year?"

Pushing his glasses, the old man brewed his emotions.

"I know a general idea, not much!"

"Then why don't you think there are many?"

"Because there is no shortage, Japan's electronic technology has developed very fast in recent years. If you don't look at things like flagship chips, their electronic products are not necessarily inferior to ours in many fields. Take the computer field as an example. In terms of storage, Japan is doing better than us now. Oh, yes! If this is the case, I think we have to add one more, we have to restrict the export of core technologies such as semiconductor technology! Especially for those training service companies, the business must Start the review! Once it involves the preparation, development, teaching, transfer, and export of semiconductors and other fields, they have to stop them!"

With a slap on the forehead, Carter suddenly realized that he had missed something.No, it should be said, it seems a bit too blinded by money, and the eating looks a bit ugly!

So, for the benefit of American, he hurriedly made up a few sentences.

"You know that there is no shortage of people, and you still write these in openly? What the hell are you thinking?!"

Unfortunately, it's too late!
An old man like Scowcroft is not a human being.

Carrying private goods is not important, but if you make it so obvious, isn't it a bit too much? !

Obviously, the front is quite serious, right, why is it to smooth the trade surplus and deficit, and ease the tense bilateral trade relationship.It also put forward a decent suggestion that Japan expand its imports of American agricultural products, and that's the same thing!
The United States has more and Japan has less. Buying more will not only complement resources, but also help to bridge the gap in trade structure.Everything is still fine, but you turned around and suggested that people take the money and buy a bunch of computer equipment that they don't lack at all, and they are fully capable of making?
Don't you just want to sneak a little and increase your sales? !
After all, once Japan agrees to this agreement, it will be a big purchase at the national level!Although it doesn't necessarily mean paying the bill directly, relevant policy tilts will definitely come out. No matter who pays the money, Carter's products are sold anyway!
"Well, that's a good question. All I can say is that John Akaski is a graduate of Yale's '60"

Listening to the old man's sarcasm, Carter just added this sentence lightly.

There was no wave in his heart, and he even wanted to pick a booger.
Sure enough, upon hearing Carter's words, the old man fell silent.He didn't ask who the damned John Akaski was, except for the new president of IBM, who brought it up at this time, it wouldn't be anyone else!
Guessing, I feel a little scolding in my heart.

How can you play this? !
Today, in the field of mainframes and high-end PCs, it is also the No. 1 in the entire computer manufacturing industry, and the boss belongs to Yale; the sales leader in the field of personal PCs is basically the leader in the field of personal PCs, and ROG, the boss of TOP3 in the computer manufacturing industry Also from Yale.plus a yale president
Maybe it's useless to be a Yale graduate.But unfortunately, there was a Carter in the middle.
It can be said that the channel was opened up directly. At this time, Carter and John Akaski stood in line.Everyone has to weigh the opinions of these two!What's more, it's not that the relationship is not in place, and if it really happens, the benefits that should be there, these two are not people who are not willing to give it.
No matter which direction he looked at, the old man couldn't think of any reason for the person in the Oval Office to refuse.
