Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 351

Not only is it not an academic school, but combined with Reagan's background
Carter believes that this old man may be more "aware of current affairs" than anyone else!Whether it is the experience in Hollywood, or from the fanatical supporters of the Democratic Party during Roosevelt's time, to the current Republican leader. From supporting the new nationalism's supervision of large companies, to now becoming a representative of large capital groups.
It can be said that in Reagan, there is a strong sense of entertainment, the people in Vanity Fair, snobbery! "Stepping on the low and holding the high", he played it more slippery than anyone else!
For such a person, there is almost nothing that cannot be discarded, it only depends on whether the price tag is enough!

If conservative trade doctrine can win more votes than free trade doctrine, he will definitely change his position immediately.Directly abandon the ideas and beliefs that I once preached.
As of May 5 last year, the total number of laid-off auto workers in the United States exceeded 1!If Reagan can solve the work for them again, these 22 votes are almost a certainty!To solve this point, the votes of several industrial states such as Ohio must be in their pockets!
And over time, the more autoworkers out of work, the bigger the pool of potential votes!Stable votes are also increasingly likely
"Oh, I know. I'm just mad, you know?"

Akio Toyoda sighed, bringing Carter's thoughts back to reality.

"As I just said, if the US government introduces various restrictions, I understand! I will not be angry except to regret that the great opportunity has passed."

"Because as you said, the positions are different! The U.S. government should do this. If the same situation happens in Japan, I hope our Japanese government will do the same! This kind of thing should be done, even if it is a trade opponent. , and I will also acknowledge it.”

"However, the current situation is that we are like ghosts from within ourselves! Our Ministry of International Trade and Industry actually does not hesitate to damage the interests of our Japanese auto companies, but also protects American auto workers and the market? How ironic! They Is it Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry, or the U.S. Department of Commerce?!”

"I understand your emotions. Since ancient times, people have hated traitors more than righteous enemies. I understand, it's just"

Carter wanted to say that even if Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry did not do this, the situation would not be much better.Perhaps raising tariffs is just to reduce the price competitiveness of Japanese cars in the market and reduce their market share in a disguised way. There is no direct restriction on your export volume, but the result is the same.

But this, Carter thought about it, and felt that there was no need to say it.
It doesn't matter whether the Ministry of International Trade and Industry is an insider or not.Perhaps they are just thinking that if they do not accept the conditions of the United States, it will lead to more serious consequences?
Since the reduction of Japanese automobile market share in the United States is irreversible, why not be obedient?Be nice and take care of things yourself first.In this way, if the American father is happy, maybe he can give himself some compensation in other ways to recover Japan's loss in car output?
If you continue to fight hard, you may not even get any compensation, and you will be in a net loss!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I said it's not because of the tariff issue. That's what I mean. It's not a direct tariff barrier, but it's even more ruthless than tariffs! Directly in terms of the quantity of source supply, we will be banned! If there is no such Since the restriction agreement, let alone 5 sea lions, you want 500, 5000."

Like Carter, Akio Toyoda didn't want to bring up this disgusting topic after his anger.After I don't know how many times I sighed, I just heard him continue:

"We are businessmen. The more orders we have, the happier we are. There is absolutely no reason to reject orders. It's just that once this agreement comes out, the quotas that are not much, if they are wasted on sea lions"

"This kind of tool vehicle is cost-effective first. The profit margin is too small. If possible, we would like to use the quota on high-end cars such as the Crown. At least, the profit margin is larger, and our losses can be smaller! But since you are the one who spoke up, let me think of a way for you, it shouldn’t be a big problem. At this time, it’s probably useless for you to find Nissan and Mitsubishi, and they also don’t want to export such low-margin cars.”

"Emmm, Mr. Toyota, actually. These five cars of mine are going to be imported to China"

After being almost moved by Akio Toyoda's sincerity, Carter quietly added this sentence.It seems that just now, I didn’t mention the place of import.
If it is imported to China, what about the self-restriction agreement on the export of automobiles to the United States? !
Akio Toyoda:.
"You! Why didn't you say it earlier?! Did you deliberately want to see our jokes?"

After a brief silence, Akio Toyoda became exasperated:
"You have a bad conscience! I thought you saw the news about Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry's self-restriction agreement, or found out that your US Customs has not raised tariffs on Japanese car imports at all. That's why you came to me. It turns out Are you talking to me?! Do you want to see the jokes of us Japanese persecuting Japanese people?! Did you enjoy watching it?!"

"Ahem, cough, you can't say that! Don't slander me, you obviously started this topic! I just plan to open a hotel in China, and then I need a car. When I think of you, it's obvious that you said it yourself I didn't say anything about these words! It's none of my business!"

did not say anything
Recalling the whole story of his phone call, Carter was very confident.

"Okay, okay, then wait like this, the settlement method? USD or Japanese yen?"

"U.S. dollars! But don't worry, I will place an order after the approval here. I just called in advance to ask. I thought that if your Toyota didn't have a corresponding model, I would find a way from the United States. Who would have thought hahahaha! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought of some happy things, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your Ministry of International Trade and Industry's coquettish operations!"

Although there is no such thing as "no need for renminbi" directly, the subtext is already obvious.Carter didn't bother with single-digit car purchases, since he could afford them in dollars anyway.

"Bageyalu, I have endured you for a long time! You are definitely laughing at us!"

After roaring and making a little joke, Akio Toyoda returned to seriousness:
"I'll let the salesman contact you later, and you can just contact him directly if necessary."

"It just so happened that you called, and I'll talk to you about another issue. It's the auto union, the Georgia factory."

"Don't think about it! This is a hot topic. You can't refuse the auto union! I can't help it!"

"I'm not asking for your help to come forward and refuse, and I know I can't refuse now. I just want to ask you to take care of it, and don't let the union make too much trouble! They are making a lot of noise, and our business is affected. To your Bath Bank It’s not a good thing, is it?”

　Today is the first two changes. A classmate who hasn't seen him for two years has rushed back from Yichang, so he has to meet him at night.Normal updates should resume tomorrow.
