Chapter 969 It’s Not Time to Close the Net Yet!
February 18, 1985.
The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
This year, because there is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, tomorrow is the New Year's Eve.
Even so, now the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa is busy preparing for the upcoming New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.
Yang Ming did not go to the Empire Group Building to work today.
When Yang Ming sat down in the garden, Lin Dezhong said, "Young Master Yang, I have sent out the invitations for this year's New Year's Eve banquet."
The New Year's Eve banquet at the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa is more lively every year.
The most important thing is that more VIPs are invited.
In previous years, it was held on the second floor underground, but this year it was held in a large square nearby.
This large square was also rebuilt reasonably in the past few years after Yang Ming spent money to buy the surrounding land. The area is nearly 10,000 square meters. Many precious flowers, plants and trees are planted around it, and it looks like a garden inside and out.
In addition, there is a Feng Shui pond nearby, which raises many carps.
When Yang Ming went to Toyo, he was very impressed by the fat carps in Toyo Setagaya Villa.
After returning to Hong Kong, he also had people dig a pond, and raised those carp in it.
"Is Xu Qingsheng back?"
"Young Master Yang, Xie Yan has gone to pick him up."
Xu Qingsheng came back by plane this morning, but he has not returned yet.
Chen Zhenhua did that thing for Yang Ming in Korea, and Yang Ming gave him a large sum of money. Considering that he is now in his thirties and not yet forty, but as a bodyguard, he can almost retire.
Chen Zhenhua does not want to retire so soon. He took the money back to Hong Kong just to buy a house. Now he still stays in the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to work for Yang Ming.
As for Xie Yan, he often follows Yang Jirong.
. . .
Half an hour later.
A young man in colorful clothes got out of the car. Wasn't it Xu Qingsheng who came back from Japan?
Xu Qingsheng took off his sunglasses, greeted Lin Dezhong, and walked over to greet Yang Ming respectfully.
"Boss, I'm back."
"I've been waiting for you here."
Yang Ming and Xu Qingsheng went to the area near the Grand Plaza and looked at the lotus pond. The water in the lotus pond was mountain spring water that could be recycled, and the carp in it were bought from Japan.
"Boss, the housing prices in Tokyo have soared more significantly than last year." Xu Qingsheng said on the side.
When Yang Ming wanted to invest in Japan's real estate, Xu Qingsheng couldn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, in the past two or three years, Japan's housing prices have risen more and more significantly year by year.
"It's okay now. When the Plaza Accord of the Five Countries comes out, not only will the Japanese yen appreciate significantly in Japan, but the housing prices will also be more obvious."
For Yang Ming.
The sharp depreciation of the US dollar against the Japanese yen before and after the Plaza Accord is also a very good investment opportunity.
After the Plaza Accord was signed, the five countries began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market, selling a large number of US dollars in the international foreign exchange market, which then formed a selling frenzy among market investors, causing the US dollar to continue to depreciate significantly.
Historically, in September 1985, the yen exchange rate fluctuated around 250 yen to the dollar. Less than three months after the Plaza Accord came into effect, it quickly appreciated to around 200 yen to the dollar, an increase of 20%.
At the end of 1986, the dollar was worth 152 yen, and in 1987 it reached a peak of 120 yen to the dollar.
From the nominal exchange rate of the yen against the dollar, from February 1985 to November 1988, it appreciated by 111%; from April 1990 to April 1995, it appreciated by 89%; from August 1998 to December 1999, it appreciated by 41%.
From the actual effective exchange rate of the yen, from the first quarter of 1985 to the first quarter of 1988, it appreciated by 54%; from the second quarter of 1990 to the second quarter of 1995, it appreciated by 51%; from the third quarter of 1998 to the fourth quarter of 1999, it appreciated by 28%.
In Yang Ming's view, these are all very good investment opportunities.
This can be seen from the foreign exchange investment of Japanese yen and US dollar, Yang Ming can obtain a large amount of wealth, and then enter the real estate of Dongyang.
In 1990, before the real estate bubble of Dongyang was punctured, he quickly left two years in advance.
So it is still unknown how much wealth of Dongyang can be swept away.
Today, the changes in Dongyang real estate and the exchange rate of the Japanese yen in Dongyang are just showing step by step that the world has not changed the Dongyang market and economy because of Yang Ming's arrival.
"After the New Year, when you return to Dongyang, you just need to keep an eye on Dongyang's real estate. As for the Japanese yen foreign exchange futures, I will let others take charge."
"Yes, boss."
Now Yang Ming is looking at the fat carp in the lotus pond.
Yang Ming knows.
Dongyang has developed rapidly since the 1960s, especially in the 1970s.
In the past 30 years, the people of Dongyang have accumulated a lot of wealth.
If these wealth cannot be obtained through other channels, after the Plaza Accord, the yen will appreciate a lot, resulting in a severe blow to Dongyang's export competitiveness, which directly promotes the rise of Dongyang real estate.
Dongyang people have accumulated a lot of wealth, which naturally flows into Dongyang real estate.
However, in Yang Ming's opinion, the population of Japan is limited. Moreover, Japan began to age after the 1970s, became more obvious after the 1980s, and became very serious after the 1990s.
In this case, even if people in Japan speculate on real estate, no one will take over in the end.
Or the speculators have fled ahead of time.
Even if the Japanese did not burst the real estate bubble themselves, there would be a big drop sooner or later because no one would take over.
"Qingsheng, the carp in the Japanese are getting fatter and fatter, but it's not time to eat it yet."
Xu Qingsheng smiled after hearing this.
He naturally understood what the boss was talking about.
Yang Ming fed the carp.
Had breakfast with Xu Qingsheng, Yang Jirong and his wife.
Xu Qingsheng still had to go back to see his family.
He was in the Japanese, and did not bring his family to the Japanese, fearing that they would be affected by the Japanese. Xu Qingsheng knew that when his mission in the Japanese was completed, he would definitely say that he would be transferred back to the Hong Kong headquarters.
In the morning, Yang Ming met Xu Qingsheng.
In the afternoon, Yang Ming met Barlow who flew back from London.
At this time, Barlow was already the head of the Empire Group in Western Europe and Northern Europe.
In addition to the large-scale privatization of Country Y, which was still ongoing, the Empire Group was further swallowing up other industries in Country Y.
Last year, after Yang Ming acquired the Bossac Group in Country F, he began to enter the industry of Country F on behalf of the Empire Group.
Now Barro first reports to Yang Ming about the situation at the European headquarters and the further progress of the Empire Group in European luxury goods.
"Barro, what is Arnault doing now?"
Last year, Yang Ming swallowed up the Bossac Group and Dior before Arnault.
In fact, Yang Ming has changed Arnault's fate.
However, the fact that this person can succeed in history shows that he is still very powerful. From beginning to end, Yang Ming will not underestimate him.
"Boss, after he came back from Country M, because we acquired the Bossac Group and Dior, he just refocused on real estate."
Real estate?
The Arnault family itself came from real estate. Now Arnault continues to enter the real estate industry because Country F is now gradually privatizing on a large scale.
"As long as he doesn't develop into a luxury brand, we have luxury brands in Italy and Switzerland in addition to further acquiring luxury brands in Country F. When the time is right, we can take it down."
