Chapter 30 Whose feast is this?

One day later, Fan Wubing saw the return of the Japanese national treasure "Kusanagi Sword" on TV.

At the airport, thousands of reporters were waiting for a night with long and short shots. When Miichiro and others walked off the plane with alloy boxes containing the "Kusanagi Sword", the 100,000 citizens surrounding the airport suddenly went crazy.

When Miichiro, the Shanmao solemnly opened the alloy box covered by the plaster flag in public, took out the "Kusanagi Sword" and held it in his hand and waved it in the air, the audience screamed continuously. As the return of the "Kusanagi Sword", the head of the three major artifacts, the Japanese's vanity, which had already expanded to the extreme, rose to the extreme.

"You really shouldn't have returned this thing to them. If I had known it, I would rather throw this thing into the pit than be so arrogant." Fan Heng felt a little unhappy about Fan Wubing's private deal with the Japanese, especially when he saw the Japanese on the TV screen celebrating the whole country, he was even more depressed.

Asahi Shimbun even promoted it with great fanfare and exposed the heroes who welcomed the magical artifact Kusanagi Sword to the media. In addition to the two heroes Wu Zhi Xiaoji and Hando Miichiro, there were also financial supporters like the six major consortiums who paid a lot of money, but all the reports did not mention how much the six major consortiums spent to welcome Kusanagi Sword back.

"Looking at this way, it seems that you have made a lot of money from them!" Fan Heng felt that his son Fan Wubing never did a loss-making business, especially when facing the Japanese, the knife was sharpened, so he asked.

Fan Wubing immediately refused, "This is a commercial secret. If someone doesn't say it, I can't say it either. It's purely a professional ethics issue. Dad, you don't want me to be a person who doesn't speak, right?"

"Tsk, that professional ethics is actually fooling me, I despise you! Will you still rob your money?" Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing with some disappointment.

On the TV screen, when the Kusanagi sword was carried over to the top of everyone's heads with a plaster flag, the crowd automatically passed the "divine artifact" outside. There, hundreds of monks in the temple were bare-handed and waiting there with various magical artifacts.

When the Kusanagi sword was passed there, several priests wearing hats similar to men's male characteristics on their heads, put the Kusanagi sword into a sandalwood box with pearls, jadeite and gold and silver jewelry, and then worshiped them in all directions, announcing the return of the Kusanagi sword, the head of the three major artifacts of Japan. Then they prayed again, probably to wish Japan a long-term fortune.

Finally, the farce gradually ended when the Kusanagi sword was sent to the temple for worship.

After the live TV broadcast ended, Fan Wubing's heart was also put into his stomach.

Although he successfully deceived Miichiro Hengdo, he was always a little worried. If a Japanese who knew the pros and had a high status came out and saw through his tricks, it would be a little difficult to end.

To put it lightly, it is a deliberate fraud, and to the point is to destroy the long-standing traditional friendship between the peoples of China and Japan! Although Fan Wubing also thinks that such words are really damn, but if they are exposed, they will really be damned!

Fortunately, this scene did not appear. The moment when the Kusanagi sword was enshrined into the Fusang Shrine, Fan Wubing knew that he had won the whole thing. No one would question it, and no one would dare to question the Kusanagi sword worshipped into the Fusang Shrine!

Even if some people have doubts about the authenticity of the Kusanagi sword, they dare not raise it in person. At most, they can only argue based on Japanese legends or classics. Anyone who dares to question the Kusanagi sword that once held a grand return ceremony in front of media around the world will eventually be despised and attacked by all the Japanese.

"Haha, a successful liar is to deceive people so that they can't turn back. Even if they understand that being deceived, they can only bite the bullet and bear the result of being deceived, and cannot express any dissatisfaction. This time, I have played the Japanese completely! According to Miichiro Hengdu, they still have to thank me! When will I go to Japan for a walk, I guess they have to take it as a guest of state and treat it twenty-four salutes!" Fan Wubing was there for a while.

In the following time, Fan Wubing began to consider how to run a glass factory. Now he has mastered the management rights of the glass factory and will recruit some of the subordinates who are carrying out the mission in the south. On the one hand, he began to clean up the original glass factory employees and prepare to re-train and take up their posts. On the other hand, he has to take a look and order a batch of equipment from abroad.

When it comes to ordering machinery and equipment, of course, they are the first choice for Japan. Although they have a bad personality, they still do a good job in machining. Even if Fan Wubing doesn't like Japanese people anymore, he cannot help but admit this.

Especially for Wangtian Zhengda Group, it also needs to purchase equipment for processing meat products such as ham sausages from Japan. These two procurements can be carried out in one place.

However, these things are now small problems. Fan Wubing called Wu Zhixiaoji directly and asked him to help him do it. Wu Zhixiaoji immediately agreed to ensure that there would be news within three days, and then hung up the phone.

Fan Wubing suddenly felt very depressed. Although he didn't have to let Wu Zhi pay the one billion dollar account, this kid dared to hang up his phone so quickly. What does this mean? Are he hiding debts? Or does he feel that his wings are hard? There is no such reason!

Just when Fan Wubing was skeptical of himself, and when the Japanese were crazy about the return of Kusanagi Sword, a group of Americans sat together and began to discuss their next prey.

"Bill, I think the Japanese are too rampant lately, they need to learn a little bit of a lesson." A middle-aged man with blonde curly hair said to his friend.

"George, I agree with you. This nouveau riche is too proud and letting them show off in the international capital market is simply an irresponsible approach. I think the American people should take more responsibilities in international affairs." The answer was a silver-haired old man with a wise face.

Although the Japanese stock market has begun to fall, the total holding volume is still a very terrifying number, and the land prices in Japan have risen to an incredible level.

Take the price of commercial buildings and land in Tokyo Chuo District. In 1982, it was only 3.5 million yen per square meter. By the end of 1990, it actually rose to 32 million yen. According to the current exchange rate, it was equivalent to an astonishing US$220,000 per square meter of land.

Land prices and stock prices push each other and rise in cycles. As land prices rise, the value of enterprise and household assets rises, the stock prices of enterprises rise accordingly, the value of land guarantees increases, and the loans obtained from banks increase.

Corporate profits and economic growth expectations have risen, substantial interest rates and risk discounts have declined, residents' consumption, real estate investment, and corporate equipment investment are rising, and asset prices and the real economy have pushed each other up, gradually forming a super huge bubble.

According to an example, if Japan's total land assets are compared with the United States, the high land prices in Japan are astonishing. Taking the end of 1990 as an example, Japan's total land assets were 24 trillion yen, while the land assets in the United States nationwide were about 6 trillion yen, which is four times that of the United States!

Japan's land area is only equivalent to one state in the United States, and it is the fifth-ranked state, which means that at least four states have a larger area than Japan's land area.

At the peak of land prices, the total value of land assets in Chiyoda District, Tokyo was almost the same as the total amount of land assets in Canada as the entire country.

There is a sentence to summarize, the Japanese are crazy!

Just as the Japanese were frantically welcoming the return of Kusanagi Sword, the Americans began to take action. They began to frantically sell the land they had quietly hoarded in Tokyo and the surrounding areas, almost at any cost.

In fact, they will not lose money. After a few years of quiet operation, the price of these lands has increased by at least four times. Even if the price is reduced by 30%, there will be extremely generous profits to get.

The Japanese naturally discovered the abnormal situation. The fluctuations in the real estate market were too great, and Americans were shrouded in the shadows everywhere. However, the self-esteem they had just established made them unable to admit that they were failing. Therefore, from major consortiums to ordinary people, they all repurchased land crazily, pushing land prices to new heights.

After a brief madness, it must have fallen rapidly. Since the second quarter of this year, Japan's real estate market has finally been unable to support it. Thirty percent have plummeted in one month. Many people have become debt-ridden paupers overnight, and more than one hundred people jumped from high-rise buildings in Tokyo every day.

Fan Wubing was very calm about all the news in Japan. He also felt very helpless when he looked at the crazy faces in the Tokyo stock market and real estate market broadcast on TV.

Fan Heng was also sitting in front of the TV and watching financial news. After seeing the tragic situation of the Japanese economy beginning to collapse, he frowned and asked, "Why did Japan become like this? It was obviously the world's largest economic power yesterday, but it turned into a stinky dog ​​shit overnight? It seemed that the entire Japanese economy was going wrong? What's going on? I'm increasingly unable to understand it."

Fan Wubing thought about it and said, "I can't explain clearly what it is. But since Japan has reached this point now, it means that there must be something wrong with their economic policies."

"I read the newspaper and said that it was the Americans who manipulated all this," Fan Heng said.

"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, banks 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. However, the performance of banks depends on the amount of loans. Which companies need a large amount of working capital? Naturally, they are real estate companies! Therefore, many banks are crazily lending to real estate companies. As long as there are projects with land, banks will evaluate the land at a high price and provide huge project development funds."

"Oh, then this is a false prosperity?" Fan Heng asked.

"Of course," Fan Wubing explained, "In order to expand the loan business, banks also encourage people with land to invest in and develop real estate projects such as residential, office buildings, etc. The development funds are provided by banks, and land owners use land as guarantees. This advantage is that they can evade property inheritance tax. You should know that in Japan, land is the main property of many families. If an inheritance incident occurs, a high inheritance tax is required. Therefore, people would rather accept bank loans and engage in real estate projects to avoid taxes."

"But I didn't see any loopholes from this?" Fan Heng still didn't understand. Since there was a guaranteed project, why would there be problems?

Fan Wubing continued to explain, "Because the price of land is not static, nor is it just rising and not falling. Once the land price and stock price plummet, banks will have a large number of bad debts, and the bank's bad debts will increase, which will lead to a significant decline in everyone's trust in banks. Therefore, the bank's stock price will fall, the bank will fall into a liquidity crisis, and eventually lead to a large number of banks going bankrupt. In this way, the economic bubble will finally burst!"

Fan Heng heard it for a long time before he understood, "What do you mean is that the Americans took advantage of the Japanese's economic loopholes and made profits from it, and finally pushed them gently when the Japanese occupied the cliff on the top of the mountain?"

"That's right, that's it." Fan Wubing laughed, and then said to his father Fan Heng, "Strictly speaking, I am one of the masterminds behind this, but I was foresighted and ran faster, so the Japanese regarded the Americans as enemies. They were actually just scapegoats for many smart people who made a fortune silently. The real giants are often the ones who hide the deepest and fastest but make the most profits."

"How much did you blame for being hacked from Japan?" Fan Heng grabbed his son and asked.
