Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

From cleaning up the gangsters as the starting point, leading to the Itaewon issue, to adjusting the Itaewon rectification plan to the Itaewon business district transformation plan and submitting it to the National Assembly, there are many processes that need to be followed, and the preparation time is not short.
Compared with the preparations in South Korea, Carter's here is much easier!

If you buy shares from Japan to fool people, how can you still use fooling? !
It sounds like a whole thing, the originally bustling business district has been remodeled and re-tendered, almost completely reshuffled and restarted.It just so happens that the Japanese conglomerates have too many dollars in their hands to spend.After reading Korean news reports and combining Carter's description, after confirming the authenticity, he expressed his willingness to invest almost without hesitation!
In terms of flicking US funds into the market, there is no need to mention the South Korean market.The surrounding commercial facilities of the US military base have always been a fat business. Even if it is not particularly fat, the income is quite safe.
As soon as I heard that the Itaewon business district is outside the gate of the Yongsan base of the US military stationed in South Korea, it is also in the center of Seoul, South Korea.What nonsense is there? !
The only difficulty Carter feels now is how much should he take?

A whole commercial district involves compensation for demolition, road repairs, commercial plaza construction, snack street construction, etc. Such a large-scale project is completed.Even in the 80s, you can't play without billions of dollars!

And now, I have several projects, although the money comes in quickly, but the money is spent quickly!

For PTU with compound interest leverage, if a sum of money is repaid, it will be loaned out again immediately.Moreover, for PTU, which is preparing to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this money is not easy and cannot be transferred; the other big cash cow, ROG, will not be mentioned, and it will be fully invested in capacity expansion.
Before 1987, there was basically no money back
DOG Real Estate has a little spare money, but on the one hand, the Douglas housing market is becoming saturated, and the income is slowing down;The income from the previous small wave of yen speculation has to be subsidized.
Considering his various messy debts, Carter thought about it carefully, and after a long absence, he found that the money in his pocket didn't seem to be enough!
Taking the situation in the Itaewon business district as an example, I can only allocate a maximum of about 8000 million yuan to invest in such a long-term project.This amount of money is only enough to build a commercial plaza at most.
The way to pay back the capital is also very simple, rent collection!Taking the current market situation in Korea as an example, it is already very good to be able to collect 1000 million US dollars a year.
"Forget it, just one! It's the same if the location is better."

Sighing faintly, Carter was directing the Japanese side, the proceeds continued to be invested in real estate, and after expanding the number of rooms in Twilight Chain, he set foot on the flight back home.
The days that followed remained flat for a long time
While Congress was quarreling in South Korea, Carter just took time to visit Washington.While worshiping the top of the mountain, I met Director Casey by the way and told about my plan.

And Director Casey is worthy of being an old intelligence officer. After listening to Carter's plan to boil a frog in warm water: first use some small things to let Lu Tae-woo obey orders, and then gradually increase the intensity and put forward more demands, he directly expressed his support. .

At the same time, Carter also completed the shelling of golden cicadas in Georgia.While registered as a second lieutenant in the National Guard, Carter did not need to go to other places, and stayed in Douglas for the rest of the time.

Go to the bank for a while to see the current situation, and go to the mayor's office for a while to drink afternoon tea.Then I brushed my face everywhere in my hometown
Today's Black Flag Savings Bank, to be honest, Carter looks a little helpless.

You can't say that it hasn't developed, but compared with other thriving industries, Black Flag's income is quite worrying.If you only look at the business on the table, that guy is losing money
Even in 1985, for Bank of America, the winter had not yet passed!

The mines planted in the era of high interest rates have exploded one after another.After the exchange rate between the United States and Japan went through the Plaza Accord, it may be beneficial to the United States in the long run, but in the short term.
The trade deficit between the United States and Japan has not only not narrowed, but has expanded further!

This is not difficult to understand. Taking Japan’s total exports in 1986 as calculations, the yen value was 35 trillion yen, a decrease of 3000% compared to 1985; however, if the dollar value was 16 billion US dollars, it was an increase from the previous year. 2092%!

An increase for Japan means a loss for the United States!

More U.S. dollars flowed out, so that the U.S. market has not fully recovered.Maybe it doesn't matter much to the general public.
After all, no matter what, the export of Japanese goods has decreased, and there are more American goods on the market. For American companies, they have to start hiring again.This should be a good thing for ordinary people, but it is not good news for banks that play a role in circulation in the commodity economy!
There is less money in the U.S. market, and U.S. companies are still unable to make money, which means a lack of confidence in loans and an increase in the risk of bad debts!
With the reduction of the net population inflow in Douglas, the residential market becomes saturated, and the demand for housing loans decreases; while commercial loans, it happens to catch up with such a big environment
If possible, Carter would not be willing to read the annual financial report submitted by Black Flag Bank Holdings.That's really, once you see it, it's a big head.
However, staying in Douglas is not without benefits, except that you can witness the growing prosperity of your own capital.Carter also came forward in person, going to Atlanta to meet with the people who met Southwestern Bell.
The people at Southwestern Bell showed great interest in the trial operation of the Pearson-Douglas fiber optic communication line.But because the business of these two cities is not considered prosperous, and they are concerned about the high cost of fiber optic ducts, they have no intention of directly getting involved.

It just means that if Carter can build a fiber optic main line linking Atlanta to Columbus and Macon and other cities, Southwestern Bell is willing to pay for the lease of Carter's communication lines
The first client of DOG real estate transformation has already found [-]%!
Then, it is to maintain continuous attention to various economic events!With this attention, the time came to 1986.
In January 1986, after nearly three months of stalemate starting last October.The exchange rate between the United States and Japan is getting closer and closer to the 1 mark, and now it is basically impossible to understand the "grand occasion" of 200 to 210
However, due to Japan's resistance, this ratio has not been able to exceed 200 for a long time.
It all looks the same as it did last year.
Just when Carter was thinking whether he should stop following him for now, on January 86, 1, Carter suddenly saw a strange news on TV.
"What about the exchange of 1 US dollar for 199 yen? Is there any problem with the exchange of 190 yen? Every industry is different, and there are not all acceptable environments."

In the picture is a picture of Japanese media interviewing Noboru Takeshita.When asked by a Japanese reporter that the US-Japan exchange rate may break through 200 recently, Takeshita Akira said something like this
At first glance, this is a piece of football.

It is not at all said whether it is possible for the yen to appreciate below 200 yen for 1 dollar.

But the problem arises in the communication
Looking at the headline written by Reuters on the screen, Carter was shocked instantly: The 200 yen mark may be lost!
The headline used by Reuters when reprinting the report was: Prime Minister Takeshita Can accept the exchange rate of around 190 yen! !
