Rebirth: Japanese investor

  Chapter 7 The Asian Financial Crisis

   The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto ate the breakfast that Sakai Rie had prepared before leaving the door. He stopped a taxi by the side of the road, and was about to visit the president of the Taitung branch of Danzifang.

  In RB, all walks of life have their own guild organizations. The top is nationwide, followed by regional Kanto (East RB), Kansai (West RB), Hokkaido area, Kyushu area, Shikoku area, Okinawa area.

   Finally, it is divided according to the districts in each city or metropolis. Masayoshi Kishimoto inherited his cheap dad's business in Taito Ward, Tokyo, and naturally inherited his membership in this industry.

   Ballroom is a relatively special line among the 360 ​​lines of RB. It has the same purpose as the custom industry, and it can best reflect the desires in human nature.

   At the same time, this also brings some characteristics that are different from legitimate industries such as restaurants. Even if it is legal, it can also escape, but in addition to the special care of the police, the local gang forces will naturally be involved more or less.

Masayoshi Kishimoto, who got into a taxi and sat in the back seat of the car, of course understands that any country in the world has sex, gambling, no matter how legal it is, there will be all kinds of intricate and complicated relationships behind it. You can do it if you want. of.

  Since he is determined to sell the billiards room he inherited from his cheap dad, it means that he will quit this business completely.

   It is essential to inform the relevant parties in advance. From then on, he will completely draw a clear line with the gambling industry, and will only be a legitimate investment industry that is upright and open.

  The taxi driver turned on his car's wireless radio, and there was talk about the Asian financial turmoil.

   "I don't know when this Asian financial crisis will end. There are fewer and fewer people taking taxis, and business is getting harder and harder.

   The money of this **** taxi company is not a penny. "The taxi man couldn't help but sighed at the difficulty of the current situation.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi did not speak. But his heart is like a mirror, and the people who suffer the most from the financial turmoil are ordinary people like taxi uncles.

   As for the end, it won't be next year. The yen exchange rate fell from 115 yen to the dollar in late June 1997 to 133 yen to the dollar in early April 1998.

   During May and June, the exchange rate of the yen fell all the way, once approaching the mark of 150 yen to the dollar. With the sharp depreciation of the yen, the international financial situation became more uncertain, and the Asian financial crisis continued to deepen.

   The year after that, that is, 1999, will completely end the Asian financial crisis. Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea were the hardest hit areas, while RB, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries and regions also suffered considerable losses.

  Many people regard Soros as the culprit of this disaster, the person who should go to **** after death, but Kishimoto Justice does not think so.

  Soros just discovered the many problems accumulated in the process of economic development of these countries, and acted as the last straw that broke the donkey's back.

   Even if it is not Soros, there will be another person to carry out a harvest. At this time, the total amount of international hot money has reached 7 trillion US dollars.

   Who are the owners behind these international hot money? Once they feel that there is profit there, they will inevitably make it bloody, like locusts crossing the border.

   They made a lot of money one by one, but they reaped some of the decades of economic results there into their own pockets.

   All industries are withering, the economy is sluggish, and a large number of unemployment... The people who suffer the most are still ordinary people at the bottom of society. Their lives were severely negatively affected.

   A situation like this will never end, it will change, and it will come again and again after a period of time. The countries or people who have been hurt will not learn much experience and lessons from it.

  As Hegel said, the only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind has not learned any lessons from history.

   Besides, the economy of Southeast Asia is the economy of a servant country. When they face international hot money, they are often like a little boy standing in the ring, facing the boxing champion.

When    arrived at the place, the taxi uncle stopped the car. Kishimoto Masayoshi paid the fare, got out of the car, and ran directly to the billiards room where the president of the Taitung branch was.

   As soon as he entered the door of the billiards room, he heard a very loud noise. In addition, the air was filled with various cigarette smells.

  If an exhaust fan is not installed in the indoor air filled with a lot of nicotine, mosquitoes and flies will inevitably be smoked to death.

  A male clerk took the initiative to step forward and smiled: "I'm sorry, it's full."

   "I'm not here to play, I'm here to find your boss." Kishimoto Masayoshi expressed his intentions.

When the    male clerk understood, he raised his right hand in one direction and said, "That's our boss's office over there."

   Kishimoto Masayoshi blurted out a "thank you", turned sideways, and took another step towards the place pointed by the other party. As soon as he knocked on the door and entered, he was greeted by the branch president's smiling face.

   "What kind of wind brought you to me?" The branch president took the initiative to get up and walked out of the desk, and greeted him.

   "Southeast, northwest wind. Your business is very good!" Kishimoto said politely.

   "It's so-so." The branch president raised his right hand with a smile, and suddenly scratched his bald head.

   As soon as he finished speaking, he took a can of coffee from the side and delivered it to Masayoshi Kishimoto. Then, motion to the other party to sit down and talk.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi held the coffee in his hand, but did not open it. He sat down and said straight to the point: "I plan to resell my billiards room."

   The branch president was immediately surprised. He knows very well that not only his own business is good, but the business of the entire industry is good.

  Others are expecting the financial crisis to pass quickly, but they, on the contrary, want the financial crisis to continue like this.

   "Aren't you kidding me?" the branch president said in disbelief.

   "No, I mean it. If you are interested, I will sell it to you! Taito District has two prosperous commercial districts in Ueno and Asakusa.

  You are on the Sensoji side, and I am on the Ueno Park side. If you own mine, Taito will be yours.

   From now on, no one will dare to come to Taito District to compete with you. By then, your status in this industry will also be greatly improved. "Kishimoto said calmly.
