Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 542 Interest Logic Chain

Carter, who returned to New Haven after receiving some enlightening advice from the former auto union president, was in no rush to act.Again, everything has two sides, even multi-faceted.
As far as the current matter is concerned, Carter stroked the logical chain of interests:

The role of Toyota in South Georgia, in addition to solving the employment problem at the beginning, this world-class car company can also bring more high-value jobs. Simply put, it is to make the middle class and wealthy class population on its site more many.This benefit is actually relatively simple and clear, such as banks and intermediaries
It is almost beyond doubt whether the intermediary who sells cheap goods has a high income, or the intermediary who fiddles with luxury goods has a high income!Oh, the premise is that the total amount is consistent.Of course, the higher the customer unit price, the higher the intermediary income.

From this unilateral point of view, Carter should strongly support Toyota, and even escort it.However, behind Toyota, there is Mitsui 80s, especially Japan in the early 80s, the invasion of the United States
As far as car companies are concerned, let’s not talk about the real estate sector. In a few years, we will be clamoring to “sell Tokyo and buy the United States”. , I see, I conquer" play
Although I know that from a general perspective, Mitsui can't do it.But just like what Woodcock said, if you can't handle the big ones, can't you handle the small ones?If you focus on this small area of ​​South Georgia
Toyota holds a large number of employed people, and Mitsui has money in his hands.Throwing money at the same time and threatening at the same time, isn't this the way to play sweet dates with one hand and stick with the other?Asking himself, Carter felt that there was almost a 100% chance that the city of Argyll, and even the government of Douglas, his hometown, would not be able to resist this temptation.

Carter didn't want to play around, his house was stolen!In particular, these Japanese people have a tradition of stealing backstabs!From learning from China in ancient history to waging war trying to occupy China.After being aided by the United States, it is now aggressively invading in various fields
Sometimes Carter had to admit that, as far as "learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians", these Japanese who live a good life are really good at it.If it is carried out well, it is called thoroughness.
So in this regard, Carter can't get too used to Toyota.It belongs to the kind that not only helps it develop stably, but also controls and suppresses it to limit its growth rate
Huh? ?

Isn't this what the United States does to Japan? !

This is how the logic of interest is measured between Carter's "local snake" force and the "cross-river dragon" force of Japanese car companies.But when a third party is added, that is, the "sitting tiger" of the United States, there are more things to consider
Populist sentiment, from a certain point of view, is linked to consumers.Just like Hongxing Erke sold out of stock in the live broadcast that year, sometimes consumers' emotions come up, which is irrational at all.When the sentiment against Japanese products is high, as an American, as an American company, if you go against the sentiment of the people. And this does not include the federal government
In order to explore the balance point, Carter decided to delay for a while.At the same time, began to collect more information about Japanese companies, the situation in the United States, and public opinion activities in various places.Among them, one of the more sensitive issues was the arrest of six French executives from Hitachi, which naturally became the focus of Carter's research.

However, the collection of data and the transmission of information take time.After reports of public opinion from various places, the situation of Japanese companies in various places, and some information about the actions of the US federal government are still being sorted out, time has quietly passed to the summer of 1982
Except for the sporadic boycott of Japanese goods that Carter encountered on the Yale campus, life on campus was fairly stable.Just off campus.
"It's a bit like the rain is coming!"

Lobbying the Congress to legislate, the proposal to increase import tariffs on Japanese goods was widely circulated; a "1 hammer 1 dollar" event in Southfield, where Toyota cars were smashed, also appeared on the TV screen.
Looking at the TV screen, the host was perverse, and even exclaimed that it was a big deal to watch the excitement, Carter couldn't help but sighed.Because in addition to these things, smashing Hitachi air conditioners, refrigerators, radios, etc. seems to be trivial things individually, but when combined together, it is not that simple.
"Why think so much! Think about what to bring! We are going to Europe tomorrow. We plan to go to the supermarket in the afternoon and buy some daily necessities. Are you going?"

While folding his military uniform, Rick glanced angrily at Carter who was sitting in front of the TV without moving.

"It's enough to ensure that your own interests are not damaged. The Japanese were raped, not you, so why bother you! Also, Charles asked, when will his Guarana be returned to him? "

"Let's talk about it after I buy the violin. Am I going to Italy? When I have time to go out, I will look for it. Why is he in a hurry, he can't use the violin either!"

"Oh, I think you have no intention of paying back at all"

"Just know it, why say it!"

Unreasonable, after replying to Rick angrily, Carter turned off the TV, walked to his bed, and began to pack his luggage:

"Doing business is really addictive! I don't care about it, I just pretend I haven't seen or heard of these things, so I can naturally have peace of mind. But now, don't you know this? We always talk about danger and opportunity Coexistence, so I always wonder, will the crisis of the Japanese be my opportunity?"

"You are not addicted to business, you are addicted to speculation!"

"Hmm, you're right! Maybe I'm really just a speculator in my bones, not a pure entrepreneur."

Carter shrugged and accepted Rick's evaluation very frankly.

Just kidding, the traversers don't speculate, and go to start a business in a dull way?No, it should be said that when you know more information, it is impossible for you not to speculate
Greed, no joke!
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, what are you going to buy? Can't you buy it when you get there?"

"I can buy it, but I'm worried that there are always some things that may not be as convenient as ours, especially some snacks. You're not bad, you've been assigned to southern Europe. Think about where I am? Germany!"

Rick spread his hands exaggeratedly:

"The opposite is the Soviet Union, which means that there is no war. If there is a war, can I go to the front line? Doesn't it make sense to stock up on supplies?"

"You are a young master soldier! You also brought some snacks. You are on vacation, right?! The armored division is so free?"
