Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"So, in this situation, the United States is already hard-pressed! At this time, it is no longer up to President Reagan to think."

"If the U.S. dollar is not devalued, this deadlock cannot be broken. And, just like this negotiation, we came here to discuss the appreciation of the yen, aren't we also talking about the depreciation of the U.S. dollar?!"

After delivering his verdict, Carter stood up from the bathtub
I’ve been in the bath for a long time, and the bathroom smells like alcohol. If you still can’t get up, then act more sober, it will look a little fake!
Wrapped in a bathrobe, he took Akio Toyoda to the sofa in the guest room and sat down.

"From an external point of view, we are doing a depreciation of the dollar! From the internal point of view of the United States, the next step is to restore the economy. Only the federal government can invest in infrastructure and certain key industries to expand social demand. One way. In this way, the supply of dollars in the real economy will increase, and the dollar will still depreciate!"

"It's like Japan, when facing pressure from the United States today, because the United States is Japan's largest export destination and the largest overseas market. You need this market, so you have to compromise. The U.S. government also has to compromise with society, because The American system is like this. Any government official who wants to secure his position needs votes from society. In other words, Japan needs the United States, and the United States needs American society, even if Mr. Reagan does not want the dollar to depreciate. , can’t do it! Last year’s U.S. unemployment rate has exceeded 11%, if there is no action, his position will be unstable.”

After all, it's a matter of mutual compromise.
Carter can understand the struggle of the Japanese at this time, and understand their psychology of wanting to minimize losses as much as possible.But if it was Carter, Carter felt that facing this situation, there was no need to complain at all.
Instead of always thinking about how to reduce losses, it is better to focus on how to adjust the economic structure to deal with the impending slump in the US market.For example, organize some business missions, go to China, go anywhere in Europe to open up some new markets, to make up for the losses in the US market?
"Yes, the public opinion at the beginning of this year was very unfavorable to Mr. Reagan."

Akio Toyoda, who followed Carter's voice and sighed, couldn't help but think of the current situation in the United States.
If you combine the current public opinion in the US media with the fact that Genzige has been using the "big talk" about economic recovery before he came to power, think about it.
The possibility of the US changing coaches is not only possible, but also very high!
This doesn't seem to be too much, and it is necessary to keep asking Carter for proof!
"Ahahaha, let me tell you a joke. This public opinion has something to do with me. If it weren't for my show, this little braid about Mr. Reagan, I'm afraid the media wouldn't be so entangled in it."

Carter chuckled and acted like a prankster:
"After all, the Democrats also understand that to curb the high inflation in the past, the pain of economic recession is always unavoidable. But who let the arguments put forward in an entertainment program arouse widespread discussion among Americans?"

"If the discussion is not big, they can still pretend not to see it, and maintain a tacit understanding and calmness. But the hot discussion has already risen, and I can't help being moved."

"I worked so hard for the U.S. Treasury Department because I was afraid of being missed by Mr. Reagan. I was actually surprised why this issue was hyped up like this."

"I see. I remember that you seemed to be busy with a program called "Tucao Conference" some time ago. I said why you didn't go to class, sneaked into the Ministry of Finance, and ran to Japan all day long."

Akio Toyoda realizes something
An inner puzzle seems to have been explained.

Just like Michio Yasuda said, Carter said that he was interested in this meeting, and the explanation he came here on purpose is obviously not convincing.
And this explanation was replaced by the fact that he accidentally stabbed the president in the eye because of the program he was tinkering with.Then hurry up and show your strength, clean yourself up, and show that you really made an unintentional mistake. Look, am I not running errands for you now? !
In this way, temporarily stabilize the emotions above.In addition, when you come to Japan, you can avoid wandering in front of Genzi to some extent, in case Genzi is in a bad mood and vents his anger on Carter.
This makes sense!
"Carter. Have we known each other for several years?"

Akio Toyoda, who made up a complete logical chain in his own brain, was a little moved.

Carter, who seems to be active but actually came here passively, can't help but make him feel a little empathetic.At the same time, I also feel a little guilty about my group of people, forcibly drinking alcohol to force questions
"It's been almost four years, what's wrong?"

"Actually, today, you should be able to feel it? Our purpose! I don't want to hide from you, I was called back suddenly by my family today, in order to know an accurate message from your mouth: whether the United States will Change the person for the talks? Will it be true? Just stop talking, directly raise tariffs, or ban the sale of Japanese goods, etc. "

"You are still different from them!"

He took a deep look at Akio Toyoda, the earliest Japanese he knew, and the most "Westernized" Japanese among the group.
Carter seemed to have made up his mind:
"I guessed their purpose ever since Michio Yasuda called me!"

"You know, he's not a guy who can keep his mouth shut. A big party like today, a big event like this. Can he resist showing off in advance? Surprised. Have you seen him bring you Was it a surprise?"

"Haha, indeed! He is a person who expresses his joy and anger on his face. There are happy events, but there are never surprises. It has been like this since he was a child. Whenever he finds something interesting, it will spread in the circle at most within a day."

"Yes, but he pulled out the twilight chain, telling me to come if I don't come. If they come to ask, I may not say it, but since you are here."

Carter stood up, picked up the rescue soup on the coffee table, and walked slowly to the window
Steady pace, without the slightest hint of drunkenness
"I don't know the United States, and I don't know what Brother Genzi thinks. I didn't ask, you know, I don't think I ran far enough to hide from him now, how could I take the initiative to join Washington?"

"But the White House may really be thinking about replacing Treasury Secretary Reagan as he chairs the talks."

"Just in the afternoon, before I came here. I went to Secretary Reagan's room. Coincidentally, a call came from the White House at that time. I didn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but from the sound, there should be no good words .”

"Minister Reagan's expression changed from embarrassment to anger. Oh, right! There is also a piece of private information, the truth of which has not been verified!"

"Well, it's okay, you say! Carter, I am very touched and grateful to hear this!"

"Don't panic, don't be too busy impressing! As I said, I don't know if it's true or not, but I personally feel that the relationship between Treasury Secretary Reagan and Nancy Reagan doesn't seem to be very harmonious!"

"Nancy Reagan. First Lady?!"

"That's right."
