How can I say that the Japanese in the 1980s and 1990s were stupid?

Falling from the top to hell.

In the beginning, in the early 1980s.

Japan's economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, putting even Yingjiang under the greatest pressure.

In desperation.

Yingjiang used a bayonet to force Japan to sign the "Plaza Accord" and forced the yen to appreciate. Countless people, including Lei Weidong, took advantage of the yen's appreciation to make a fortune.

To be honest, the appreciation of the yen is good for Japanese people, because when the money becomes valuable, everyone becomes richer. But if the yen appreciates too fast, it will be a disaster for the economy.

Late eighties!

Japan's economy has entered a strange circle, that is, everyone has more and more money, but the entity cannot continue to work, because Japan's economy is an export-oriented economy.

Things produced cannot be consumed domestically and must be exported.

But as the yen appreciates, buying things becomes cheaper, but selling things becomes relatively more expensive.

As a result, a large number of bosses withdrew from the real industry, took the money and embarked on the road of buying and selling, buying a large number of companies around the world, especially Eagle Sauce.

The most typical ones are the two major film companies, Universal and Columbia. These are iconic companies and have caused a greater sensation than the purchase of a hundred physical companies.

As a result, many people in Hollywood held demonstrations to protest, but the Japanese idiots had money and used money to win over everyone.

However, if you have money but no guns, you are a fat sheep.

The Japanese bought and sold, and finally made a wedding dress for Yingjiang.

In the early 1990s, Japan's stock market crashed and the financial crisis came, which plunged its economy into a quagmire. In the following decades, Japan's economy rose and fell, always bouncing back and forth between the 40,000 and 5 trillion range. Many companies

They all reached the point of bankruptcy.

I have to look further abroad!

At this time, global economic growth has limited bright spots.

One is Yingjiang. Due to the promotion of information industrialization, Yingjiang has entered a rare rapid development path. However, Yingjiang is too wary of Riben, and suffers too much loss, so Riben does not dare to be too presumptuous.

The other two good places are Bangzi Country and Rabbit.

Bangzi Country's economy has been developing rapidly since the 1960s, and it was still strong in the 1990s.

However, the domestic market is limited, and the technology is not lagging behind Japan's. In many aspects, it is in competition with Japan, especially in the shipbuilding industry. It competes with Japanese companies on a global scale and defeats them.

The second one is the rabbit.

It is different from the rabbit in the original space and time.

Due to the weak foundation of the original Space-Time Rabbit, although it developed rapidly, its foundation was so weak that even if it tightened its belt, it could not come up with money to develop the economy, so it needed foreign investment.

And this time and space.

There is a wealthy man like Lei Weidong here.

From the Plaza Accord to Black Monday, from the Japanese stock market crash to the Gulf crisis and the final collapse of Mao Xiong, Lei Weidong accumulated a large amount of cash in his hands.

In particular, the Japanese stock market crashed, leaving Lei Weidong with trillions of yen in his hands.

With so much money, it is impossible to have a child in your hands. You must find a way to spend it, especially the Japanese yen. Lei Weidong, who knows the direction of Japan’s economy, goes to the extreme in order to spend the Japanese yen in his hands.

Everything.

Japan was spreading money across the country and orders were pouring in with hundreds of billions and hundreds of billions of yen, making Japan's capitalists almost crazy and trying every means to meet the needs of the Eastern Group.

For Eastern Group, although the money is painful, it cannot be taken away, and compared with the hundreds of billions of dollars in chips imported by the mainland in the future.

What do these yen count for?

"What do you think of this business?"

Located in the office building of Toshiba, a subsidiary of Mitsui.

Toshiba executives gathered for a meeting.

Mainly because a business order from the Eastern Group was so difficult for everyone that no one dared to make the decision, and a meeting was needed to determine whether to accept it or not.

"Everyone, you all know that Dongfang Group sent us a request to provide after-sales service for two MBP-110S units. Do we want to accept this order?"

The president, also the chairman, who was sitting at the head of the desk, glanced at the subordinates present with a sharp look and said.

"Accept or not!"

To be honest, everyone present felt very sad.

As Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer and the second largest integrated electromechanical manufacturer, Toshiba's strength is unquestionable and it ranks among the best in the world.

But with Japan's economic recession, Toshiba has also been hit hard.

If it loses the order from Eastern Group, it is likely that it will fall into despair and fall out of the leading ranks.

But taking orders is not good either.

Why is Toshiba being suppressed by Yingjiang? Those four MBP-110S are just an excuse. Now asking Toshiba to perform maintenance on two of them is not handing a knife to Yingjiang and letting them continue to suppress Toshiba.

"Boss, can we give you a machine? They don't understand it anyway!" Senior executive Oyamada Ansai made a throat-cutting gesture.

"no!"

Kyouichiro Abe, the executive in charge of contacting Oriental Group, shook his head and said: "Business is not done with integrity. If you refuse because you are afraid of the sanctions from Eagle Sauce, at best you will not cooperate with Oriental Group in the future.

If MBP-110S is destroyed, people will be offended to death."

"If you offend us, we'll offend you. What's there to be afraid of? Could it be that he will kill us?" Oyamada Ansai, who came up with the idea, has a strong sense of racism and looks down on Chinese people and scorns them.

"Oriental Group is not a mainland state-owned enterprise. If a mainland state-owned enterprise is cheated by us, it can only consider itself unlucky.

It's different for private companies. Everything is decided by Lei Weidong. For these two MBP-110S, they have given us US$5 million in installation and upgrade costs, if we dare to do anything wrong."

Kyouichiro Abe said, "According to our investigation, Lei Weidong spoke the truth in Xiangjiang, and few of those who opposed him had a good ending, and most of them died violent deaths.

With Lei Weidong's worth, for the sake of face, he could offer 100 million U.S. dollars to kill all of us sitting here. Think about it, the 100 million U.S. dollars offered by the Tsukamoto Group turned Hong Kong upside down, and in the end it was Lei Weidong who suppressed it.

Given Japan’s current economic environment, if someone offered us $100 million to kill us, I don’t know how many Japanese people would go crazy. Everyone should be careful when going out.”

"How much will we lose if we give up cooperation with Eastern Group?" the chairman asked, signaling everyone not to argue.

"Twenty-seven hundred and seventy-eight billion yen." Yuki Morishita, the company's financial director, stood up and replied, "If we lose this order, it will be picked up by Four Stars or colleagues from Takajiang.

We will fall from the leading position in the semiconductor industry, from second to fourth or even fifth position."

"Is it that serious?" Oyamada Ansai disagreed with Morishita Yuki's judgment.

"It's much more serious than this." Technical leader Seiichiro Takatsu stood up and said in a positive tone, "The financial crisis has caused heavy losses to Japanese domestic companies, and procurement will be impossible within a few years.

We can only rely on overseas markets, and the largest order currently is the order from Eastern Group.

If it were thrown away, industries like machine tools would be fine.

semiconductor!

The reason why semiconductors are called semiconductors is not only because of the large investment but also because of fierce competition. Semiconductor companies can easily become half-established.

According to Moore's Law, in chip development, the number of transistors on a chip of the same area doubles every 18-24 months, that is to say,

If the semiconductor technology in our hands is not updated, it will fall behind in two years, become obsolete equipment in four years, and become junk that no one wants in six years.

It is better to take advantage of the current technological leadership and sell it to Eastern Group, and use the money in exchange to research and develop semiconductor technology to maintain our leading position in the semiconductor industry."

"What if the Eastern Group uses the technology we exported to develop newer semiconductor technology and compete with us?"

Even though he knew that Toshiba Group would not have orders from Dongfang Group, Oyamada Ansai was still unwilling to sell semiconductor technology to the other party.

"Semiconductor technology is not that simple. Even if you have equipment, technology, and personnel, it still requires time and money. Dongfang Group is a newcomer in the semiconductor industry.

It’s hard to say whether we can fully understand our technology.

Even if we understand it thoroughly, it will take several years or even more than ten years to catch up, and this is not something we need to worry about." Seiichiro Takatsu replied loudly.

Yes, the youngest people sitting here are all fifty years old, and the older ones are all seventy years old. After more than ten years, everyone has basically retired and is enjoying a comfortable life at home with a pension.

The Toshiba incident has nothing to do with them.

Moreover, even if Eastern Group catches up in semiconductor technology, the first headache will be Eagle Sauce. As Toshiba, it is better to consider its own interests.

"Since everyone is arguing, let's vote. Those who disagree with the Eastern Group, sell semiconductor technology and upgrade MBP-110S please raise your hands."

Seeing that everyone was arguing and there might not be a result for several days, the chairman adopted the fairest method, which was to vote.

But he played a trick.

That means raising your hands if you disagree.

This invisibly brought the centrists over.

Haojiang!

"Wow, is this a place where people live? It's so luxurious." After getting out of the car and looking at the magnificent villa in front of him, the pheasant couldn't help but cry.

The villa in front of me is really too big and luxurious. Compared with it, the place where I live is not as good as the kitchen, not even the doghouse.
