Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 859 Seemingly fair, but actually unfair
"Sorry, Mr. Reagan. In Japan, the Bank of Japan has always had the right to formulate monetary management policies. In the Ministry of Finance, only the Economic Planning and Investigation Section of the General Office has the right to make suggestions, but not to make decisions. We have no right to amend the "Foreign Exchange Control Law."

After a while of whispering between Takeshita and the surrounding staff, Takeshita spoke
Just from the expression on his face, Carter couldn't see the slightest hint of anger from the other party.It even seemed a little regretful.
It seems to be a very beautiful solution, but it is a pity that it cannot be solved due to personal and unit permission issues.
As expected of a man who will become the Prime Minister of Japan in the future, this performance skill.
Absolutely!

Take a closer look at Secretary Reagan's proposal. To be honest, there is a certain logical feasibility.But while the logic is smooth, there is also a logical trap hidden here!

What will happen if American and Japanese companies communicate with each other or purchase assets from each other?
Americans can see many technologies of Japanese companies, right?Even if you can't see it for a while, it still gives you a loophole!A crack appeared on an egg that was originally intact!
Represented by car companies, why have Japanese car companies been able to live so well these years?Even Moisturizing, oh no, has it threatened the status of American car companies?
With Chrysler and other U.S. car companies going from bad to worse, and even on the verge of bankruptcy, should Japanese cars sell better?
It's not just from fuel-saving technology!
As for the fuel efficiency of Japanese cars, this concept has been believed by quite a few people until the 21st century.In fact, in the future, whether it is a German car or an American car, everyone's fuel consumption will be about the same.But this concept is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Some people will attribute it to the thin skin of Japanese cars, light!So save fuel!
It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but for now.Carter is also a person who has more dealings with Japanese car companies. Carter is very clear that Japanese cars are really much more fuel-efficient than American cars in this era!
Moreover, the low fuel consumption of Japanese cars is definitely not due to simple low weight.But fuel-saving technology!
Japan is an oil-poor country, oil resources and its dependence on imports.Coupled with the promulgation of the Muskie Act, also known as the Air Environmental Protection Act, it directly led to a situation.
On the one hand, Japan relies on oil imports. Oil is a scarce resource in Japan, and the price is naturally not low.Japanese consumers can't be as unscrupulous as Yankees when buying a car.
Cars with low fuel consumption are more popular in Japan!
This has led to Japanese car companies paying more attention to this aspect of design.From a more optimized wind resistance design, to things like Honda's cvcc technology and vtec technology; Mitsubishi's MCA system, etc.
Japanese cars, from the very beginning, paid more attention to the development of fuel-saving technology; and it coincided with the United States tinkering with the Muskie Act, requiring all vehicles to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and NOx emissions to one-tenth of the original standards. .

In order to make their cars sellable in the United States, the Japanese have made great efforts to save energy and reduce emissions.
On the other hand, nature is America itself.At that time, American cars around 75 would give you more than [-] fuel for a hundred kilometers, no pressure at all!
After all, just kidding, the world's oil "comes out of" America.
For the United States, oil is worthless!

When Americans buy cars, they don't care much about fuel consumption.They only care about whether they can pretend and whether they are strong enough
Under the ebb and flow, American auto companies have been tricked by their own people.Not to mention saving fuel, it's difficult for them to reduce emissions!And if they can't figure it out, it means that many of their cars can't be sold in the US market at all.
On the one hand, there is the need to develop new energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, and on the other hand, there are many inventory vehicles and production lines that have to be shut down.
American car companies in a dilemma, life is so sad!
After all, technology research and development, technological innovation, this is not a one-shot job!

The Japanese guys have been tinkering with these things ten years in advance, or even more than ten years!

Now, if it is an American car company, it can easily enter the Japanese financial market through the deregulation of foreign exchange.To buy stocks in Japanese car companies, or use the malicious mergers and acquisitions that are popular in the United States to open the eyes of Japanese car companies.
As long as they get some power in the company, do you think Americans will go to see what these technical materials of Japanese car companies are? !

Wait until they finish reading and understand.

The life of Japanese car companies is not easy!

The production cost rises, or the price rises, and the car crashes again. The fuel consumption of American cars decreases, and the market competitiveness becomes stronger!
Once again one ebbs and another ebbs and flows, who is it that ebbs and flows?Who does it look like?

In addition to the problem of unequal core values ​​in the enterprise.Just talk about other assets, such as buying land?

Is the content of land resources in the United States on the same level as Japan? !
The Yankees come over and buy one-third of your land, and Japan doesn't accept it very much.And for the same price, if you take it to the United States, you may only be able to buy one-tenth of their land. Not to mention, if they want to develop, the remaining nine-tenths of the land are more than enough!And what about you in Japan?
Then, apart from the intuitive land use value, various mineral resources, natural resources, etc., are not in the same order of magnitude at all.To compare, it is as if a child and an adult agree to each other: If you slap me, I will slap you!

Is it fair?
It seems fair, but in reality, that slap is not the same thing at all!
When a child hits with all his strength, an adult will suffer at most, and even the pain will not hurt.But adults slap down
You may die!

"His Excellency Zangxiang, it is meaningless for you to say these words again! We have shown full sincerity, this is the best way to solve the problem now! We have not let Japan suffer!"

Noboru Takeshita can act, and Treasury Secretary Reagan can also act quite well.
Although sitting behind Secretary Reagan, Carter couldn't see his face.But only from the calm speech, Carter could easily tell that Treasury Secretary Reagan had known this kind of words early on, so he couldn't fool the other side.

Takeshita Akira may not be proficient in business, but the professional officials around him are not fools!
When the overall strength and background are not equal, some seemingly fair cooperation is often not necessarily fair!
Carter believes that if the Japanese side really took the initiative to accept such a suggestion from Secretary Reagan.If there is no restriction on the appreciation of the yen, then the surplus brought about by the exchange rate difference will go to the United States for investment.
In the end, Japan will definitely cry to death in the toilet!
After all, investing in the United States at this time, hey!You have revitalized the American economy, yes!
The United States is very short of money now!After being tossed by Volker for three years, the market is still a bit half-dead.
"If you don't accept my kindness! Then let's talk about the exchange rate issue. If you don't want to leave the exchange rate change to the market, then we have to artificially negotiate a ratio!"

"I propose, 160 to 1!"
