Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Since the year before last, I have served as a secretary in the staff team of my father's foreign minister. I am officially engaged in politics, and my qualifications are still very shallow. ?? Read a book ww?w·1?k?anshu·

In front of Tang Huan, Shinzo Abe seemed very humble, and respectfully guided him to Hikosaburo Kozoki, Shintaro Abe, and Toshita Takeshita.

There are many factions in the Liberal Democratic Party, and these three people belong to different small groups: Kozoki Hikozaburo is from the Watanabe faction; Abe Shintaro is from the Qinghe Policy Research Association, which originated from the faction of his father-in-law, former Japanese Minister Nobusuke Kishi; into factions.

In Japan, an island country with obvious consciousness and instinctive xenophobia, it is not good to not know the footsteps of powerful figures. Tang Huan greeted them proficiently and reservedly, and representatives of other consortiums also took advantage of the opportunity to come over to get acquainted, so that they could register.

Don't look at these dignitaries in the political arena well-dressed and dignified, but in Tang Huan's eyes there is no halo at all, because the other party has benefited from him, and the relationship between them is practical and clear.

Speaking of it, gold power politics is another characteristic of Japanese politics that can only be understood but cannot be described. The latest big scandal is the Lockheed Incident.

Although it is a leading aircraft manufacturing company and arms supplier in the United States, under the fierce competition from Boeing 747 and McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed's commercial wide-body jet business is not progressing smoothly. -The Samsung Airliner is facing sluggish sales.

At that time, All Nippon Airways purchased aircraft and selected McDonnell Douglas's - passenger aircraft. In order to grab orders from competitors, Lockheed stuffed 500 million yen in cash to the then Japanese Aida Nakakaku, and also took care of other important politicians, which in turn forced ANA to revise the order and buy Lockheed The company's l-Samsung airliner.

Originally, this kind of familiar and tacit inside story of money power was dealt with in the Japanese political arena in a covert manner, and outsiders who had no position were too lazy to care about such bad things.

But don't forget that the big American conglomerates are doing global business, and their interest structure focuses on the world. Lockheed used small tricks to get its competitors out of the game, which naturally attracted retaliation from the other side.

As a result, the matter was revealed. The chairman of Lockheed—Daniel Hofton and the president—Carl Cochon resigned one after another, and a large number of orders for the L-Samsung airliner were also lost. The total loss may have exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars.

Originally, Lockheed needed to sell at least one L-Samsung airliner in order to recover the cost. However, under the influence of this incident, Lockheed announced in 1981 that it would close its production line after ending the production of the first aircraft, and the delivery time of the last L-Samsung passenger aircraft will be this year.

As a result of this commercial fiasco,

Lockheed has completely withdrawn from the civil aviation market.

Japan here. It is also inevitable that there will be a major political earthquake. Kakuei Tanaka was finally prosecuted for violating the Foreign Trade Management Act and accepting bribes, and was jailed with several other officials.

Just on the 12th of last year, after 7 years of trials and hundreds of court sessions, the court found that Kakuei Tanaka had violated the foreign exchange law and was entrusted with accepting bribes, and sentenced him to four years in prison and a fine of 500 million yen.

However, great people will naturally have ways to deal with it, not to mention Kakuei Tanaka, a political leader with far-reaching influence. After paying 200 million yen in bail, he immediately organized a strong team of lawyers to appeal and defend himself from multiple angles.

therefore. Last year's verdict was just the beginning of a new battle.

Japan implements a four-level three-instance system. Therefore, in the original time and space, after the second instance and then the third instance, it was delayed until 1995 before the Japanese Supreme Court made a final judgment, rejecting Kakuei Tanaka’s second-instance appeal and affirming the original judgment. And then. Kakuei Tanaka has been traveling west with a crane for nearly two years.

In Tang Huan's view, the reason why Kakuei Tanaka was able to procrastinate in this lawsuit is largely due to the shrewd habits developed by Japanese politicians for a long time. Things that are not seen in the light can be pushed to the secretary, the driver and so on. on the staff around you. When things are unsolvable, they will lose their pawns to protect their commanders and die without confrontation, and use this as a buffer to allow more forces to come in to rescue them.

On the other hand, although Lockheed has found a way to dredge the relationship, the method is really not clever. Gift giving is also a broad and profound knowledge. How can you give cash with straight eyebrows and catch people's pigtails.

Tang Huan's pursuit of interests in Japan is inevitable, but he thinks that he has done a great job without form.

At this stage, cash gifts are no longer popular in Japan, but stocks. After all, the Japanese economy is entering a golden age, and Tang Huan went a step further, giving investment opportunities for rising stocks.

Sometimes when I meet those politicians who really have two brushes in cultural accomplishment, they will send his calligraphy to the auction house.

All of these, there are countless ways to deliver benefits to the target. The three smiling old men on the opposite side took advantage of it quietly.

During the exchange of toasts, Tang Huan found Shinzo Abe with his gaze, raised his glass and said, Abe, let's have a glass of wine.

Shinzo Abe said with a look of embarrassment: Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I'm not good at drinking.

Nonsense, I know you can't drink alcohol. You want to read a book w?ww?·1?k?anshu· Tang Huan secretly smiled in his heart, and persuaded him: Have a drink, it can relax the meridian and activate the blood, which is beneficial body and mind.

Bastard, why are you hesitating when Tang Sang proposes a toast to you? Abe Shintaro was a little angry when he saw his son being so cowardly, I told you a long time ago, how can a man not drink while exercising.

Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, don't get angry. Since Abe really can't drink, forget it. Tang Huan quickly advised, and then added, It's just that I feel a little regretful.

Shinzo Abe said hastily: Mr. Tang is very kind, how can I not appreciate flattery?

After having a drink with Shinzo Abe, Tang Huan seemed very happy, and raised his glass again, Abe is a well-known family, with a long history of family education, and his future is boundless. We need to move around more in the future.

Seeing that Mr. Fu's intention to make friends is so obvious, Shinzo Abe dared not show face, so he bit the bullet and drank a second cup. Everyone is in the same cultural and traditional circle, and he has already expected that the other party is likely to drink a third cup with him.

as expected. Tang Huan raised his glass again with great interest, I didn't expect to meet Abe when I got out of the car today. Fortunately! Come, let's drink the third glass together.

Shinzo Abe is going all out. Suppressing the discomfort, he closed his eyes, raised his neck, and drank the third cup.

What comforted Shinzo Abe was that other people gave this heroism a round of applause. Father Abe Shintaro praised in a child-teachable tone, Yo Xi Yo Xi.

After this seemingly cheerful round of drinking, the topic at the banquet began to turn to the main topic.

Shinzo Abe, who was dizzy above and overwhelmed below, held on for a while, and finally staggered straight to the bathroom while everyone was not paying attention.

After noticing Shinzo Abe's embarrassment, Tang Huan smiled secretly, and then turned his mind to the proposal lobbied by these old and cunning Japanese.

It turned out that in the face of an increasingly strong rebound in the US semiconductor industry, Japanese semiconductor manufacturers and relevant agencies responsible for trade friction negotiations. They put their minds on Tang Huan, the world's largest memory purchaser, and hoped to reach a private deal with each other, that is, let him play tricks in international trade and reduce the United States' import of memory from Japanese semiconductor suppliers on the surface. So that the trade deficit in this field of the United States will not be so ugly, and the benefit offered by Japan is a lower ex-factory price of memory.

These profit-seeking grandsons are planning to let me take the lead. After quickly calculating the gains and losses, Tang Huan came to this conclusion.

Is Lockheed enough in the United States? But after its hands crossed the border, it was not forced to completely withdraw from the civil aviation market.

At present, semiconductor manufacturers in the United States are struggling on the line of life and death. An alliance is being formed to put pressure on the federal government against its Japanese counterparts. If he was really bought off, the fire would not be contained in the paper. Maybe one day when it is exposed, it will become a big scandal.

After thinking of this, Tang Huan slowly said under the spotlight of everyone: This proposal is indeed a good win-win solution. However, I have always been in awe of the rules, and I still dare not offend the United States. There are many colleagues who are waiting to be fed.

See Tang Huan speak so frankly. Several people who took the lead in promoting this matter looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking in unison: The awe of bullshit, this is because the price we offered is not high enough.

Tang Huan, who had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, made a gesture without waiting for them to open his mouth, and continued: Actually, I also came up with a solution for you. Why don't you transfer some of your production capacity to the outside, for example, put it in Taiwan, mainland China. At that time, Japan’s trade surplus with the United States can be partly diverted.”

Hearing this idea, representatives of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers who attended the meeting began to discuss it.

Thanks to everyone's kind invitation, I might as well disclose some news here. Tang Huan raised his voice and began to break the news sonorously.

First of all, Fangyuan Computer Company will launch a personal computer with a complete 32-bit architecture and a brand new operating system next year.

At that time, the basic capacity requirement of the main memory used by Fangyuan personal computers will increase four times from the current 256kb to 1mb, and the mainstream configuration will increase from 512kb to about 2mb.

As for products such as higher-end workstations and servers, the capacity of the main memory will also double.

With Fangyuan Computer's annual sales of more than 10,000 personal computers alone, you can imagine what kind of pulling effect it will have on the memory market.

Secondly, this year will be an important milestone for the Zheru product line when the full 32-bit PC platform arrives. All 16-bit software will be upgraded to a more powerful version, and its demand-pull effect on memory will not be large. If expected, it should show up in the second half of the year.

The memory market will only grow bigger and bigger. Since everyone is worried about the Japan-US trade friction, it is better to transfer production capacity to nearby areas. While diverting the trade surplus, it can also significantly reduce costs. Why not do it.

What Tang Huan said really moved many people's minds, and they immediately raised their own questions, Mr. Tang, I heard that you have a factory in mainland China. Are your interests guaranteed?

Many special economic zones have been opened in mainland China, and the investment conditions are extremely favorable. I have indeed received a lot of benefits. Tang Huan smiled slightly, As for the so-called guarantee, I have to rely on the foreign minister and other ministers of state to help you understand .”

Since 2010, the foreign policy of the Japanese government has begun to move closer to mainland China, and the official relationship with Baodao has become increasingly cold. In addition, the structure of Baodao is limited. Therefore, Japanese businessmen are more interested in mainland China. interested.

However, Tang Huan only wanted to lead the way, and he didn't want to endorse. The political relationship between China and Japan was very complicated even in this era. The water was too deep for him to mix.

Everyone can come to an end after talking at this point at the banquet. As for whether to continue to lure Tang Huan into the bait, the Japanese business community will have to wait for the next opportunity.

Next, Tang Huan was going to enjoy the Japanese tea ceremony with Hikozaburo Omotoki, Shintaro Abe, and Noboru Takeshita, so that they could talk about some topics that were inconvenient for public discussion in relative places. This was also the biggest purpose of his coming to this banquet.

...

Before entering the tea room, Tang Huan went to the bathroom, just in time to see the pale-faced Shinzo Abe retching at the sink.

Abe, are you feeling unwell? Tang Huan asked casually, amused in his heart.

Shinzo Abe didn't dare to say that he was in pain because of Tang Huan's three glasses of wine, so he could only answer vaguely, Yes, my stomach and intestines are not feeling well.

The stomach must be nourished. Tang Huan showed a very concerned look, and took out a pair of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets from his pocket and handed it over, It's better to take two of these, the effect is very good.

This... Shinzo Abe looked at the blue Jianweixiaoshi tablet with a strange expression on his face, and hesitated to take it.

What's the matter? Tang Huan asked, and suddenly realized, Didn't you misunderstand this thing as Viagra, it's Jianweixiaoshi tablets.

Seeing Tang Huan took a piece in his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it, Shinzo Abe blushed, and quickly took the Jianweixiaoshi tablet, hiding his embarrassment, and joked: This is a good thing. Nourishing the stomach, it can also be used as a cover. Hehehe...

Abe is very smart, he is really a great talent. Tang Huan gave a thumbs up, and then added: Since Abe likes this kind of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablet, I will ask my assistant to send a few boxes to me tomorrow. It has just been launched in the United States. , it’s hard to see shadows here in Japan.”

Thank you, thank you... Shinzo Abe said with a smile on his face. (To be continued.)
