Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

I talked about the proposal of Japanese semiconductor companies' production capacity transfer at the banquet before, and I remembered that since Japan surpassed the Soviet Union in 1978 and became the world's second largest economy, the distance between Japan and the world's number one economic power has been getting closer and closer. The popularity of Japanese products in the world is also increasing. The increasing trade friction between Japan and the United States is a reminder that Japan needs and has the ability to develop a broader overseas market.” Tang Huan began to find excuses to inquire about what he wanted Information.

Tang Sang is very concerned about Japan's economic situation. Noboru Takeshita smiled and nodded, The improvement of Japan's international status really starts with an economic power.

However, Japan is also facing potential competition. In addition to the 'Asian Tigers', Thailand and others are also learning from Japan's experience in the miracle of economic development, and are actively developing an export-oriented economy by devaluing their own currency. Tang Huan said After finishing the favorable conditions, began to list the unfavorable factors.

The competitiveness of Japanese products in the international market does not require low prices to maintain their advantages. Toshita Takeshita laughed loudly, In my opinion, in order to further help Japanese companies to develop overseas markets, the yen is doing the opposite. Appreciation of the land will undoubtedly be the most suitable policy.

With Japan's current economic status, once the yen appreciates, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction in the international currency market. I am afraid that the United States does not want to see the US dollar lose its long-standing strong position. Tang Huan expressed his different opinions.

Tang Sang, although you are a business genius, you still can't understand some of the essence due to the different perspectives you are in. Takeshita Akira made an inscrutable gesture and stopped the topic.

What are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail? My brother also has a news channel at the White House. Tang Huan secretly snorted disdainfully.

In the original time and space, as the chief executive of the Japanese Ministry of Finance, Nobo Takeshita, the Minister of Finance, was a strong promoter of the appreciation of the yen and an active advocate of the Plaza Accord.

Tang Huan tried his best to raise this topic and start a discussion. I just want to test whether Noboshi Takeshita's political ideas are still the same as in the original time and space. After all, people's minds are the most difficult to figure out, especially politicians.

Now that he has personally confirmed that the other party will not regret it when the belt is getting wider, Tang Huan cooperated accordingly, stopped the topic as soon as he saw it, picked up the tea set, and poured tea for several people.

The movements like flowing clouds and flowing water are so elegant that it is pleasing to the eye. Obviously, it has won the essence of the tea ceremony and attracted a lot of praise.

After being arty for a while, Tang Huan brought up another topic, Compared to Japan's rapid economic take-off, Western Europe's economic situation is not optimistic except for West Germany, but the policies adopted by each of them are big. There are different.

France is increasing the proportion of nationalization, while the United Kingdom is privatizing industries such as oil and telecommunications. I heard. The current Japanese cabinet also has a plan to privatize public enterprises?

Tang Sang's business sense is really sharp, that's true. Takeshita Toshi said on the ground: Tang Sang attracted Japanese investors before. The joint acquisition of Pacific Bell is a classic investment case. However, the situation in Japan is somewhat In particular, many intricate forces are staring at the big cake of the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and it may be inconvenient for Tang Sang to participate in it.

Would you like to hear more about it? Tang Huan asked curiously, I feel that Japan is very open.

Takeshita pointed to the outside of the tea room and asked. That Sun Zhengyi can be regarded as a spokesperson for Tang Sang's interests in Japan?

Tang Huan shrugged, and replied casually: We are alumni of the University of California, Berkeley. We can talk to each other, and we have become business partners.

He has indeed done a lot of things for you, such as the top membership card of the Pebble Beach Golf Course. His popularity in Japan is impressive, but his foundation is too weak. Takeshita Deng smiled slightly, Tang Sang is not married yet, right? If you marry a native family from the Japanese side, you can understand the mystery of it.

Shintaro Abe laughed, I guess, if possible, Takeshita would probably introduce his daughter to Tang Sang.

Unfortunately, it's a bit late to get to know Tang Sang. Takeshita Nobuki nodded unabashedly, Tang Sang, Japanese ladies from aristocratic families are all highly educated, perfectly combining traditional and modern virtues, absolutely the best Good wife and helper candidates.

I heard that the American media has always been very concerned about Tang Sang's age, and they have caused a lot of trouble because of it. Koko Hikosaburo also started gossiping.

To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal. Tang Huanyun waved his hand calmly, I will be 30 years old next year.

It's amazing. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are geniuses. The three old guys were full of admiration with rare eyes.

Abe Shintaro even added, Tang Sang is actually one year younger than Inuko Shinzo, but now he can't even drink alcohol.

I heard that Jin San has already dated a formal girlfriend? Takeshita Ono then asked.

Not long ago, she was Akie, the daughter of Akio Matsuzaki, president of Morinaga Confectionery. Shintaro Abe replied with satisfaction.

The marriage between Jin San and the prominent Morinaga family is really a well-matched marriage. Omotoki Hikosaburo praised.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and Akio Matsuzaki is worried about the possible threats to Morinaga Seika. Abe Shintaro sighed.

Is it because of the vicious case that Ezaki Glico Katsuhisa Ezaki was kidnapped and the food produced was poisoned? Komotoki Hikosaburo hurriedly asked.

That's right. Shintaro Abe nodded, The 'twenty-one-faced man with strange faces' just threatened Ezaki Glico, and then extended his hand to Maruda Foods, but the police's detection work has made no progress. As Japan's most As one of the influential food manufacturers, no one can guarantee that Morinaga Seika Co., Ltd. will not become the next blackmail target.

The extortion case mentioned by Abe Shintaro began on March 18 this year when Ezaki Glico Katsuhisa Ezaki was kidnapped at his home and was asked for a ransom of 1 billion yen in cash and 100 kilograms of gold.

However, it is very miraculous that three days later, on the afternoon of the 21st, Katsuhisa Ezaki escaped from the abandoned warehouse where he was imprisoned.

And this group of kidnappers who called themselves Twenty-One Faces of the Weird did not stop, and continued to threaten Ezaki Katsuhisa personally and Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. It was further upgraded to send challenge letters to the four major newspapers of Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, and Asahi Shimbun, clamoring that if they still do not receive benefits, they will send a letter of challenge to Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. Chocolate, put highly toxic cyanide.

As a result, the police actually found chocolate mixed with cyanide in a convenience store, and a note signed Twenty-One Faces of the Weird Man was posted on it. The general idea is that this box of food is dangerous, and those who eat it should be careful.

For this reason, Ito-Yokado, Jusco, Daiei and other supermarket chains have withdrawn Ezaki Glico products, and the stock price of the company has also been hit hard. According to estimates from the Osaka Stock Exchange, it has lost at least 5 billion yuan. JPY.

On June 26, Twenty-one Faces of the Weird once again sent letters to the four major newspapers, announcing the end of the threat to Ezaki Glico. Claiming that the weather in Japan is too hot, I will go to London, Paris and other places to escape the summer and come back in January next year seems to imply that Ezaki Glico gave in and paid 600 million yen, but Ezaki Glico denied it.

Regardless of the inside story, Ezaki Glico finally survived the catastrophe, the stock price began to rise, and product production gradually resumed.

But actually. Twenty-one Faces of the Weird did not go to escape the summer heat as it claimed, but continued to stretch out its claws. Maruda Foods then received a threat letter similar to that of Ezaki Glico before.

Looking at this posture, Twenty-one Faces of the Weird is likely to turn all Japanese food companies around. A well-known company such as Morinaga Seika is obviously a target.

When it comes to this matter, Shintaro Abe can't help feeling terrified for his future in-laws.

Tang Huan didn't interrupt their discussion, but just pretended to listen carefully.

Gein, this is destined to be a doom for the Japanese food industry. Take Ezaki Glico as an example. Originally, the stock price stayed well at 745 yen, but after being blackmailed, it fell directly to 589 yen.

For this reason, Tang Huan arranged an 18-month speculative plan to make things worse, and he was really embarrassed to make a sympathetic gesture of booing and asking for warmth.

but. A central figure like Tang Huan, even if ignored for a moment, will be immediately recognized, so the topic will soon return to him.

Dao: The digital wireless walkie-talkie system with encryption function that Tang Sang's company previously sold to the police department may be affected by this incident and get an official purchase order. Because some people suspect that the police used so many Many resources are still nothing, which is related to the interception of the walkie-talkie used by the police during the operation.”

Tang Huan nodded, The digital encryption wireless walkie-talkie is a phased product in the process of our research and development of digital communication technology. It has performed very well in Xiangjiang, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the upcoming Summer Olympics.

It turns out that Tang Sang's technology research and development has expanded to the field of communications. No wonder he is so interested in the privatization of the Japanese telecommunications industry. Takeshita Deng laughed, Then you should consider my proposal even more. Why don't you talk about your standards? We So that I can help you find a qualified young lady from an aristocratic family.

Tang Huan rubbed his brows, and frankly rejected the more advanced sugar-coated bullet in front of him, The scandals about me reported by the media are not completely untrue. With such a bad reputation, it's better not to drag down those ladies.

Tang Sang is really honest. Several old guys kept having fun as if they had discovered a new world, and joked one after another: It doesn't matter, people are not romantic_You are a waste of youth, the ladies of the family are reasonable, and will definitely understand your wonderful past life.

...

After inquiring from several heavyweight and powerful figures in the current Japanese cabinet, Tang Huan has more ideas about the future appreciation of the yen and the privatization of Japanese public enterprises.

The next day, Tang Huan went to Waseda University, one of the global partners of the Confucianism Training and Certification Center, and received another honorary doctorate.

This is also the meaning of the question, and there will only be more gains of this kind in the future. Tang Huan has real talents and knowledge, so he feels at ease.

The stay in Asia was not short, and the affairs were almost handled. Tang Huan planned to hold a thank-you reception as usual, and then went to the United States to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the Olympic Games.

At this time, Sony President Akio Morita and Sony President Norio Oga came to visit together.

Naturally, Tang Huan guessed that these two would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. After all, in this videotape format war, the mighty VHS Alliance directly turned the tables, exposing the unpopularity of the Betamax Alliance.

I originally thought that I picked up a big bargain from Sony and was still holding on in the United States, continuing to fight price wars in the home video recorder market. As for whether it was clearing the warehouse or running away, only God knows.

Feng Shui took turns, Sony, which won the videotape format competition in the 1970s, will fall on the battlefield in the 1980s, and there is almost no suspense.

As the founding father of Sony, Akio Morita appears calm and composed on the surface, but his heart seems to grow grass, restless. Hearing that Tang Huan was currently in Japan, he hurried to find him.

The two sides look at the dispute over the format of the video tape very rationally. The Gein Group is so big that it is inevitable that there will be conflicts in certain fields. When the strengths and weaknesses of the leaders have already been determined, they still have a sense of time and focus on cooperation in the overall situation. For good, from the beginning of the conversation, they can guess each other's thoughts.

Tang Huan directly said lightly, Welcome Sony to produce VHS video recorders.

The application field of video tape is so wide, Sony just lost a little in the home video recorder market. Akio Morita played down this embarrassing failure pretending to be relaxed.

Tang Huan couldn't help but smile when he saw Akio Morita's stubborn mouth, but he had to admit that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable. The field of broadcasting applications, as well as the closed-circuit television monitoring system he favored, all needed to continue to fight territory.

Since everyone can let go of their differences and sit together calmly, it means that cooperation is the general trend. Tang Huan casually set a tone.

Akio Morita nodded in agreement, That's true. We have been cooperating happily on personal computers and CD-DAs. Sony always hopes to further expand the scope of cooperation between the two parties.

Then let's start with the computer. Tang Huan smiled knowingly, In order to cope with the video processing performance improvement brought by the next generation of 32-bit personal computers, can Sony provide a set of color computer monitors? Relatively high-quality and inexpensive Trinitron product solutions? (To be continued.) u
