Chapter 871: Sharpening the Knife to Reap the Wealth of the East!

February 2, 1984.

Thursday.

The first day of the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday, Yang Ming came back too late. He drank again last night and didn't talk to other executives about many things.

Today, Yang Ming plans to meet Huo Jianning, Xu Qingsheng, Barlow and others first.

When Yang Ming got up to have breakfast with his parents, he saw Guan Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong were still here.

In addition to asking Lin Dezhong to prepare gifts for the two girls and let them go back to accompany their families for the New Year.

At this time, Yang Ming also gave each of the two girls a sum of money.

Like Zhong Chuhong's family situation, because she worked here for Yang Ming over the years, her family situation has improved a lot. Now her status is different, Yang Ming asked her parents to move out of Chongqing Building and arranged easier jobs for them.

Zhong Chuhong and Guan Jiahui left and went back to see their families.

Yang Ming finished breakfast and went upstairs.

In the study.

Two hours later.

Huo Jianning drove over.

Huo Jianning went up to the study. Now Huo Jianning seemed to be much more mature.

After Huo Jianning greeted Yang Ming, he began to report to Yang Ming about the situation at Su Lian.

"Boss, I haven't seen Andro for some time before I came back to Hong Kong. Andro's condition is likely to have deteriorated and he was hospitalized."

Last year, Yang Ming reminded that Andro would not be in office for too long.

Historically, Andro left this world on February 9, 1984 due to chronic kidney disease.

At this time, it was February 2, 1984, which was still a week away.

Thinking of Andro's situation, Yang Ming felt that he might not survive this time.

In other words, Andro left soon.

Soon, a new leader, Chernenko, took over.

Chernenko was in office for only thirteen months, which was a transitional period. Soon, Chernenko left, and it was Gore's turn.

Huo Jianning really admired his boss's prediction more and more.

Yang Ming was not in Sulian, but he seemed to know Sulian very well.

Now Yang Ming thought of this huge red empire, and then thought of the current domestic situation.

One is already in decline, like an old man who is about to fall ill.

One is gradually developing.

In terms of overall strength, the domestic situation is still far behind Sulian.

Now Sulian has long been deeply trapped in Afkhan, but cannot leave. On the other hand, Europe and the United States are still threatening Sulian, and Sulian has deep internal contradictions.

Most importantly.

Sulian's national destiny is not good.

Except Ilyich.

Next, the two superiors are both short-lived.

Like Andro and Chernyenko are short-lived.

If they have been doing well, Gore should not have a chance to take the throne. If Gore does not take the throne, I am afraid that the red empire of Sulian will still exist.

Huo Jianning stood there, and Yang Ming looked out the window.

"Jianning, wait until Gore takes the throne next year, and I will visit Sulian again."

Why next year?

It was because Andro left soon, and then Nenko also left soon, leaving only Gore.

It can be said that Gore was almost secretly supported by the country, and even Europe and the United States to get to the top.

As for Gore.

Yang Ming wanted to meet him and then further plan for Sulian.

"During this period, you should have more contact with him and prepare for my trip to Sulian next year."

"Yes, boss."

In recent years.

The Empire Group has been fleecing Sulian, using the temptation of high interest rates to borrow a lot of money from Sulian's banks, and then obtaining a lot of wealth from Sulian.

These are probably unknown to many people.

Now the Empire Group is really doing well in Sulian.

A large number of items entered Sulian through the First Shipping Group under the Empire Group.

Sulian also cannot do without the support of the Empire Group at this time.

Even so, Yang Ming still told Huo Jianning to pay attention to safety. Those KGBs are best at poisoning. KGBs are very cruel. As long as they target someone, they are likely to poison.

Yang Ming was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that the fact that two short-lived people successively rose to power in Sulian was related to these things?

After Yang Ming and Huo Jianning finished their conversation.

Huo Jianning went back to accompany his family. After a few days, he flew back to Moscow.

. . .

After Huo Jianning left.

Xu Qingsheng came.

Xu Qingsheng went up to Yang Ming's study and saw Yang Ming excitedly and said, "Boss, the housing prices in Dongyang, especially in the Tokyo circle, are rising more and more obviously."

At this time, the Empire Group held more and more properties in Tokyo, Dongyang, and even in the Tokyo circle.

The feeling of Dongyang housing prices is actually somewhat similar to the skyrocketing housing prices in Hong Kong in the past few years.

"Next year, Tokyo's housing prices will really start to go crazy. In addition, the yen in Dongyang will also start to soar next year."

Historically, the United States used the Plaza Accord to reap Dongyang's wealth.

Now there is one more person.

Yang Ming.

And Yang Ming's Empire Group.

There were two changes in the domestic economy of country 1. First, the foreign trade deficit expanded year by year, reaching $160 billion in 1984, accounting for 3.6% of the GDP of that year.

Second, the budget deficit appeared.

Under the shadow of the double deficit, country M introduced international capital to develop the economy by raising the domestic basic interest rate. The large influx of foreign capital caused the US dollar to appreciate continuously, and the export competitiveness of country M declined, thus expanding to the crisis of foreign trade deficit.

Under the pressure of this economic crisis, the United States hopes to strengthen the competitiveness of its products abroad by devaluing the dollar to reduce its trade deficit.

High interest rates attracted a large amount of overseas funds to flow into the United States, causing the dollar to soar. From the end of 1979 to the end of 1984, the dollar exchange rate rose by nearly 60%, and the exchange rate of the dollar against major industrial countries exceeded the level reached before the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

The sharp appreciation of the dollar led to a rapid expansion of the trade deficit of the United States, and the current account deficit of the United States reached a record high of 100 billion US dollars.

It can be said that the Plaza Accord led by the United States is inevitable.

On the one hand, the United States will severely damage the export trade of the East,

On the other hand, it is time for the United States to reap the East.

That is to say.

This time for Yang Ming.

In addition to harvesting the wealth of the East from real estate, it can also be harvested on a large scale from the appreciation of the yen.

After this time, Yang Ming does not know how much wealth he can harvest from the East.

In addition to the layout of the East real estate property, the layout of the yen, etc.

There are also things like Toyo Comics, Toyo Semiconductor Talents and Technologies, etc.

After talking about these, Xu Qingsheng also went back to spend some time with his family, and might return to Tokyo in a few days.

Xu Qingsheng just left.

Barlow is here.

Barlow is now in charge of the Empire Group's London headquarters and Western and Northern European affairs.

"Boss, are you going to Paris?" Barlow asked.

"Yes, I'm going to Paris in a few days, and then I'll go to London."
