Chapter 30 Whose Feast Is This?
One day later, Fan Wubing saw the grand occasion of the return of the Japanese national treasure "Grass Sword" on TV.
At the airport, thousands of people waited overnight with long and short lenses. When Yokoto Miichiro and others walked off the plane carrying the alloy box containing the "Grass Sword", the 100,000 citizens surrounding the airport suddenly Crazy about it.
And when Miichiro Yokoto solemnly opened the alloy box covered by the plaster flag in public, took out the "grass sword" in his hand, and waved it in the air, the whole audience screamed continuously, because one of the three artifacts The return of the "Grass Sword" made the vanity of the Japanese already inflated to the extreme rise to the extreme.
"You really shouldn't return this thing to them. If I had known earlier, I would rather throw this thing into the latrine, and I don't see them being so arrogant." I feel a little unhappy about the transaction, especially when I see the Japanese on the TV screen celebrating the whole country, I feel a little depressed.
The Asahi Shimbun even promoted it with great fanfare, and exposed to the media the heroes who welcomed the artifact Grass Sword back to the country. In addition to the two heroes Wuzhi Xiaoji and Crossing Miichiro, there were also six major consortiums who contributed money. However, none of the reports mentioned how much money the six consortiums had spent to bring back Grass Sword.
"Looking at this, it seems that you have made a lot of money from them!" Fan Heng felt that his son Fan Wubing would never do business at a loss, especially when facing the Japanese, his knife was sharpened. Sharp, so he asked.
Fan Wubing immediately rebuffed, "This is a commercial secret, and I can't say it if people don't tell it. It's purely a matter of professional ethics. Dad, you don't want me to be a person who doesn't trust me, do you?"
"Cut. I despise you for having that professional ethics to fool me! Could it be that I will steal your money?" Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing somewhat resentfully.
On the TV screen, when the grass sword was wrapped in a plaster flag and lifted above the heads of the crowd, the crowd automatically passed the "artifact" outside, where hundreds of monks in the shrine were shirtless. Waiting there with various instruments.
When the grass sword was passed there, several priests wearing hats shaped like men's male features on the head of Eguanbo put the grass sword into the sandalwood inlaid with pearls, jade, jade and gold and silver ornaments. In the wooden box, he worshiped in all directions, announcing the return of the grass sword, the three major artifacts of Japan, and then babbling and praying, probably wishing Japan a long-lasting national fortune or something like that.
Finally, when the grass sword was sent to the shrine to be enshrined. This farce gradually ended.
After the live TV broadcast ended, Fan Wubing's heart was also put into his stomach.
Although he successfully deceived Miichiro and others,
But he was always a little worried in his heart, if another knowledgeable and high-status Japanese rushed out and saw through his tricks, this matter would not end well.
To put it lightly, it is a deliberate fraud, but to put it more seriously, it is to destroy the long-standing traditional friendship between the people of China and Japan! Although Fan Wubing also felt that this kind of talk was really a hell. But if the truth is revealed, then hell is really going to happen!
Fortunately, this kind of scene did not happen. The moment the grass sword was enshrined in the Fusang Shrine, Fan Wubing knew that he had won. No one will question, and no one dares to question the grass sword enshrined in the Fuso Shrine!
Even if someone has doubts about the authenticity of the grass sword, they dare not raise it in person. At most, they can only demonstrate it based on Japanese legends or classics. The grass sword people who held a grand return ceremony in front of the media will eventually be spurned and attacked by all Japanese.
"Hehe. To be a successful liar is to deceive people so hard that you can't turn back. Even if you know you've been cheated, you can only bite the bullet and bear the consequences of being cheated, and you can't express any dissatisfaction. People have played it thoroughly! According to Yokoto Miichiro, they still have to thank me! When they go to Japan for a walk, I guess they have to treat them as state guests and fire a twenty-four-gun salute. All right!" Fan Wubing himself was flirting there for a while.
In the following time, Fan Wubing began to think about how to operate the glass factory. Now that he has mastered the management rights of the glass factory, he has recruited back some of his staff who were performing tasks in the south. On the one hand, he has started to clean up the employees of the original glass factory and is preparing to retrain them for work. On the other hand, he wants to take a look. Ordered a batch of equipment from abroad.
When it comes to ordering machinery and equipment. Of course, Japan is chosen, although their character is not very good. But in terms of mechanical processing, he still did a good job. Even if Fan Wubing didn't like the Japanese, he couldn't help but admit it.
In particular, Wangtian Zhengda Group also needs to purchase equipment from Japan for processing ham sausage and other meat products. These two purchases can be carried out in one place.
But these things are considered minor problems now, Fan Wubing directly called Wu Zhi Xiaoji and asked him to help him out, Wu Zhi Xiaoji immediately agreed, promising that there would be news within three days, and then Just hung up the phone.
Fan Wubing immediately felt very depressed. Although he didn't necessarily want Wuzhi Xiaoji to pay back the one billion dollar bill, but this kid dared to hang up his phone so quickly, what did it mean? Is it avoiding debt? Or did he feel his wings stretched stiff? There is no such reason!
Just when Fan Wubing blamed himself and Ai was suspicious, and when the Japanese were crazy about the return of Grass Sword, a group of Americans sat around and began to discuss their next prey.
"Bill, I think the Japanese have been too rampant recently, and they need to learn a little lesson." A middle-aged man with golden curly hair said to his friend.
"George, I agree with you. This upstart is too complacent. It is simply irresponsible to let them show off in the international capital market. I think the American people should take more responsibility in international affairs." Responsibility." The answer was a silver elder with a wise face.
Although Japan's land stock market has begun to fall, the total holdings are still a very scary figure, while the land price in Japan. It has climbed to an unbelievable level.
Take the price of commercial buildings and land in the Central District of Tokyo. In 1982, it was only 3.5 million yen per square meter. By the end of 1990 last year, it had risen to 3.5 million yen per square meter Twelve million yen, calculated according to the current exchange rate, is equivalent to an astonishing US$220,000 per square meter of land.
Land prices and stock prices drive each other. Cycle up. Due to the rise in land prices, the value of assets of enterprises and households has risen, and the stock prices of enterprises have risen accordingly, the value of land guarantees has increased, and the land loans obtained from banks have increased.
Corporate profits and economic growth are expected to rise, real interest rates and risk discounts are falling, residents' consumption, real estate investment, and corporate equipment investment are enthusiastic, and asset prices and the real economy are mutually driving up. Gradually a huge bubble formed.
According to an example, if Japan's total land assets are compared with that of the United States, the price of land in Japan is astonishingly high. Taking the end of 1990 as an example, the total land assets in Japan were 240 billion yen, while the land assets in the United States were about 6 trillion yen, which is four times that of the United States!
The land area of Japan is only equivalent to one state in the United States, and it is the fifth largest state. That is to say, there are at least four prefectures whose land area is larger than that of Japan.
At the peak of land prices, the total value of land assets in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward was almost equal to the total value of land assets in Canada as a whole.
There is a sentence to sum it up, the Japanese are crazy!
Just as the Japanese were frantically welcoming the return of the Grass Sword, the Americans started to do it. They began to frantically sell the land they had quietly hoarded in Tokyo and the surrounding areas, almost regardless of the cost.
In fact, they will not lose money. After several years of quiet operation, the price of these lands has at least quadrupled. Even if the price is reduced by 30%, there will be extremely lucrative profits.
Naturally, the Japanese also showed signs of abnormality. The fluctuations in the real estate market are too great, and the shadow of Americans is everywhere, but their newly established self-esteem makes them unable to admit that they are failures, so everyone from the major consortiums to the common people is crazy Land repurchases land, pushing land prices to new heights.
After a short period of madness, there must be a sharp decline. Since the second quarter of this year, Japan's real estate market can no longer support it, and it has increased by 30% within a month. Many people became paupers with heavy debts overnight, and more than a hundred people jumped from tall buildings in Tokyo every day.
Fan Wubing followed all the news in Japan very calmly, and he also felt very helpless watching the crazy faces in the Tokyo stock market and real estate market shown on TV.
Fan Heng also sat in front of the TV with his son, watching financial news. After seeing the horrors of the Japanese economy beginning to collapse. He frowned and asked, "Why did Japan do this? It was obviously the world's largest economic power yesterday. It turned into stinky shit overnight? It seems that the entire Japanese economy is going wrong? What is going on? What's the matter? I can't understand more and more."
Fan Wubing thought for a while and said, "I don't know exactly what it is. But since Japan has come to this point, it means that there must be something wrong with their economic policies."
"I read in the newspaper that the Americans manipulated all of this," Van Heng said.
"The Americans must have participated in this matter, but it is not correct to say that it is entirely the responsibility of the Americans." Fan Wubing explained to his father Fan Heng, "In Japan, the banking and securities industries are strictly separated. Banks are prohibited from engaging in securities investment business other than treasury bonds and local government bonds, and overseas securities business is also strictly restricted. But the performance of banks depends on the amount of loans. What kind of business needs a lot of liquidity? Naturally, it is a real estate company! Therefore, many banks are frantically lending to real estate companies. As long as there is land for a project, the bank will evaluate the land at a high price and provide huge project development funds.”
"Oh, so this is false prosperity?" Fan Heng asked.
"Naturally." Fan Wubing explained again, "In order to expand the loan business, the bank also encourages people with land to invest in housing, office buildings and other real estate projects. The advantage is that you can avoid property inheritance tax. You must know that in Japan, land is the main property of many families. If there is an inheritance event, you need to pay a high inheritance tax. Therefore, everyone would rather accept bank loans and engage in real estate projects to avoid tax .”
"But from this, I didn't see any loopholes?" Fan Heng still didn't understand. Since there are guarantee items, why are there problems?
Fan Wubing continued to explain, "Because the price of land is not static, nor does it only rise but not fall. Once the land price and stock price plummet, there will be a large number of bad debts in banks, and the increase of bad debts in banks will lead to People's trust in banks has dropped significantly, so bank stock prices will fall, banks will fall into a liquidity crisis, and eventually a large number of banks will go bankrupt. In this way, the economic bubble has finally burst!"
After listening for a long time, Fan Heng finally understood, "You mean that the Americans took advantage of the Japanese's economic loopholes and profited from them, and finally when the Japanese occupied the cliff on the top of the mountain, they gently Push them?"
"That's right, that's it." Fan Wubing laughed, and then said to his father Fan Heng, "Strictly speaking, I am also one of these behind-the-scenes black hands, but I have the foresight and run faster, so The Japanese regard the Americans as the enemy. They are actually just scapegoats for many smart people who make a lot of money. The real predators are often those who hide the deepest and sneak the fastest but make the most money. .”
"How much money did you hack from Japan?" Fan Heng grabbed his son and asked.
"This is a very personal matter." Fan Wubing resolutely refused to speak.
