Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"It's really not possible, like this! Let's take a step back, okay? The reservations for the public are not open for the time being, but those AV companies, as well as the customers introduced by those custom shops in Yoshihara and Shinjuku, can we receive them?!"

"These are stable channel customers, they don't need to make room reservation calls. We can make some money by opening our rooms to them in advance! During this time, the owners of those custom shops have been asking me when they can open The room was given to them, and they all said that their customers had seen our promotional posters a long time ago, and they couldn't wait!"

"I don't feel good like this, the sense of mystery is gone!"

Carter frowned slightly.

The bosses in the custom industry are looking forward to the opening of Twilight, and Carter is not surprised.After all, as a strategic partner of the custom industry, the love hotel has Michio Yasuda as the top and bottom of this line.
A big boss in the same industry, and a guy from the background of the Japanese chaebol, always sells face!What's more, cooperating with Twilight not only has face, but also liking!
In order to tie the custom industry to his own chariot, Carter designed two sets of standards in advance in terms of housing prices.One set is for ordinary customers, commonly known as individual customers; while the other set is a channel price specially prepared for the custom industry!
Compared with the rack price of individual customers, the channel price is usually 7% off the rack price, which can be regarded as leaving enough profit margins for the bosses of the Japanese custom industry.Cooperating with Twilight can not only broaden the business field, but also perfectly compare the legal risks
It can be said that the store makes money happily, and the customer can play with confidence.
just
"Forget it, let them wait a little longer and take a long-term view. If some unruly guests use the room in advance and then secretly take pictures, it will greatly reduce people's psychological expectations. This is not Good for my plan!"

"Oh, you're like this, I explained to those people, let their clerk accompany the customer to the hotel, okay? Supervise the whole process, and repeatedly emphasized that taking pictures is prohibited"

Michio Yasuda became a little anxious when he heard Carter's speech like "the bastard eats the weight".As a traditional businessman, watching the money in the account decrease every day, his liver hurts!

"No, it's still not safe. At most, we can make a batch of invitation coupons and distribute them in a fixed amount. The recipients should be screened. At least they must be the kind of people who look honest and honest."

Looking at Michio Yasuda's anxious face, Carter chose to compromise after a little hesitation.

Investors' emotions and confidence have to be taken care of to some extent.

"I still emphasize that sentence, no photography is allowed! No photography is allowed! At least until the official opening, it must remain mysterious!"

"Okay, okay, you've said it several times, I'll remember it. Just issue the coupons. You plan to be the first batch, how many coupons will you issue? 600?"

"400. Don't worry! Don't stare! I mean, 400 coupons can be sent out every week. Then, the AV company can allow them to use the venue for shooting first, but in the rental contract, you have to write Ming. All the videos shot in the room under the Twilight flag are prohibited from being released to the public before we officially open!"

"You're really domineering in this business"

Tucao is Tucao.
After some tugging, Michio Yasuda, who had met some goals at least, was unwilling to dwell on these small problems.

The AV production companies in the 80s are not those big names with an output value of over [-] billion in the future.It sounds like a film and television production company, but it sounds like a bunch of small workshops
Squeeze them, for Twilight Capital, there is no psychological burden at all.
Accompanying Michio Yasuda to visit some of Twilight's special guest rooms, and then went to the Twilight chain customer service center and room scheduling center located in an office building in the suburbs to see the preparations, Carter continued his work.
When the sun rose the next day, Carter stood in the guest room, leaning on the window sill, and looked downstairs quietly.The U.S. negotiating representatives headed by Secretary of the Treasury Ronald Reagan boarded the convoy sent by the Japanese Prime Minister Akira Takeshita and set off for the venue.

Carter didn't start until the tail car of the convoy disappeared at the corner of the street.
Sumitomo Bank, Mitsui Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Sanwa Bank, Quanye Bank, plus Fuji Bank, which I have already visited.The attitude of these six major banks basically determines the attitude of the entire Japanese financial sector
Carter's target today is Sumitomo and Mitsui.

Mitsui in the morning and Sumitomo in the afternoon, all in one day.The information Carter got was not much different from what he got from Fuji Bank!

Everyone is a smart person, looking at the obvious attitude of the United States this time, as well as the series of "self-restriction agreements" in the past.Almost every Japanese knows that the United States suppresses Japan's mind.
But what can I do if I know?

As the largest exporter of Japanese goods, it is as if you are running a small business, and as a result, more than 60% of your orders come from the same large customer.Suddenly one day, this big customer finds you and says to you: "Brother, your price is too high! Lower the price a bit, and if you don't lower the price, I won't buy it!"

At this time, will you surrender or not? !
You must drop!

A price cut is nothing more than earning a little less.But if you refuse, it is not a question of making 60% less money, but a backlog of a large number of goods, and a large number of production lines are forced to stop working.
Then you have to pay your employees
In a small business, it is still uncomfortable to face this situation.Let alone a country!
Yesterday's visit to Fuji Bank Ryoto Yasuda spread quickly in Japanese banking circles.This also directly led to the fact that Carter was clearly informed of his attitude by the other party almost as soon as he stepped into the gate of Mitsui and Sumitomo today.
有225比1的，有230比1的，也有220比1的.
No one is taking chances, but again.
No one is willing to accept the excessive appreciation of Japan, or the rapid appreciation of the yen.
"The question they are most concerned about is how to ensure that the scale of the yen's appreciation is controllable. And, they are not very happy to see the yen appreciate rapidly. In the conversation with me, they often use a word called 'step' by step'."

"Gradually promote the internationalization of the yen? In fact, I feel it even if you don't say it! At today's meeting, the group of Japanese evaded each other and kept saying that they were willing to cooperate and respond to our US's initiative of a large international market, but In terms of specific measures, it is hemming and hawing, vague!"

He picked up the coffee cup and slammed it hard on the small coffee table beside the chair. Treasury Secretary Reagan looked very angry.And Carter, too, understands
For the first meeting, Carter had already guessed such a result without going to the venue.

Such a major matter cannot be settled in one meeting.The first meeting is more like a meeting. It is already very good to be able to confirm that the core ideas are the same!
Knowing clearly that it is impossible for Japan to resist the demands made by the United States, whether or not to go to this first meeting has little effect.

"Procrastinate!"

Carter smiled and picked up the teacup in his hand, and took a sip:
"I thought about this issue on the way to Sumitomo Bank today. Looking at the attitude of the Bank of Japan, the bottom line should be around 220. If it does not exceed this line, they will not resist violently. But obviously, such a small The victory should not be enough for us.”
