Chapter 319: The Eve of the Plaza Agreement (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

There are a total of two students in Class 78 who were assigned to Changying Studio, in addition to Yang Xiaodan, who went to invite Wu Jianye before, and Wang Lianping, a classmate from the photography department.

Last year, Yang Xiaodan and Fu Yiwei's love work "Magical Land" was filmed by him.

In the evening, Fu Yiwei really followed Yang Xiaodan to attend their party, and seeing the love between the two, Wu Jianye didn't say anything.

"Lao Wu, this glass of wine should be regarded as a celebration of your happy wedding, when the factory worked here and couldn't leave, we didn't catch up with your wedding with Zhu Xuan, what do you have to drink now about this cup of happy wine!"

Yang Xiaodan and Wang Lianping said with wine glasses.

"Say this and you'll see the outside!" Wu Jianye said as he clinked glasses with them.

"It's the two of you, it looks like something good is coming now, when do you make a phone call, the sky is high and the water is far away!" Wu Jianye said.

"Haha, it's enough to have your words!" This time it was Yang Xiaodan and Fu Yiwei who clinked glasses to Wu Jianye.

Old classmates naturally talked more about interesting things in the school, and Zhao Fei, who was everyone's pistachio, his story was taken out by everyone, and he made a fuss.

The next day, Wu Jianye chatted with Jiang Qian again, and asked him to go to his own court culture once after returning to Yanjing, Jiang Qian has always respected Wu Jianye very much, so naturally there is no problem.

Wu Jianye stayed in Spring City for a week, one was to find a filming location, and the other was to discuss the situation with Chen Jialin during filming, although Chen Jialin was not a member of the crew of "The Last Emperor", but the "Last Queen" he is filming now is the same theme.

Among them, Chen Jialin is like Wu Jianye provides a very useful question.

The question of extras!

"The Last Emperor" will involve many big scenes, especially in the scenes of the Yanjing Forbidden City, lamas, rebel army, these will use a lot of extras.

With this question, Wu Jianye and the others returned to Yanjing!

After returning to Yanjing, Wu Jianye immediately held a meeting of the crew of "The Last Emperor", and after everyone's discussion and research, it was found that the scale of the extras in this play will reach nearly 20,000.

This is not something that can be put together by extras, especially the actors of lamas and rebels.

In the end, it was Zhao Ming who proposed that he come forward to communicate with Mr. Wang Lanxi, and the matter of the army would be easily solved by him.

Mr. Wang Lanxi is an old revolutionary, and he is also the first dean of the film academy, and later served as a leader in the Ministry of Culture, and he also has the experience of serving in the army, so it is best for him to come forward.

That night, Wu Jianye went to Mr. Wang Lanxi's house with Zhao Ming, and now although he has taken a back seat, his influence is still there.

At Mr. Wang Lanxi's home, Wang Lanxi also expressed his appreciation for Wu Jianye, who made Wu Jianye also a student from the film academy.

"Take a good picture, we are very optimistic about you!" Mr. Wang Lanxi patted Wu Jianye on the shoulder and said: "As long as you have your heart for the country, you can come to me directly if you have any difficulties in the future, and you don't have to let these old guys be lobbyists!"

"Don't worry, old dean, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"

In the face of these characters who can be written into history textbooks, Wu Jianye showed great respect.

"We are all old, and the movies of Huaxia will depend on you in the future!" the old dean sighed.

With the support of the old dean, Wu Jianye naturally didn't have to worry about the military actors, as for the selection of the lama, in the end, it was still Zhao Lao and others who helped solve it.

This reflects the advantage of Wu Jianye finding these teachers to serve as film consultants, these people cannot be simply described as film practitioners, they are the characters of the older generation who came out with the liberation of China, and their relationships are intertwined.

It is not at all comparable to the so-called old artists of later generations.

When I returned to the courtyard in the evening, it was already more than ten o'clock, but Wu Jianye saw that the light in his room was still on, and when he opened the door, he saw that Zhu Yan was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

After seeing Wu Jianye, he smiled: "I'm back, I must be hungry, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you." ”

"Hmm. ”

While eating noodles, Wu Jianye said, "If it's too late in the future, you don't have to wait for me!"

"It's okay, if you're hungry, someone will cook noodles for you!"

.......

Before the official start of filming, Wu Jianye still has one important thing to do, that is, the Plaza Agreement.

Before the Plaza Accord, RB's development was as fast as a bazooka, and there was a sense of pride in the future of RB at this time.

The acquisition of Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures was just a microcosm of the RB consortium at that time, and after the Plaza Agreement, RB Meizizi took the appreciated Japanese dollar and clamored to buy the entire United States.

Mitsubishi used $1.34 billion to acquire Rockefeller Center, a national historic landmark in the United States, RB Life Insurance merged with Riemann Brothers in Schaeson, and the Bank of Tokyo acquired the United Bank of America, in addition to RB people also invested in real estate in LA, New York, Hawaii and other central cities, RB people almost controlled nearly half of the real estate in downtown LA, prompting real estate prices in Los Angeles to soar, and by the end of the 80s, 10% of the real estate in the United States had become RB people's pockets.

During this time period, RB people's self-confidence is unprecedentedly high, and it seems that they have stepped out of the shadow of the United States, but the United States has perfectly shown RB people that your father is your father after all, and it is because your father loves you, if you don't hurt you, you should be spanked when dealing with bear children!

At present, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen is about 1:245, and the highest point will reach 1:250! After the Plaza Agreement, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese dollar will reach 1:120, an increase of more than two times.

This is not only the foreign exchange market, but also the stock market and real estate market of RB.

After the Plaza Accord, RB's stock market did usher in a period of crazy rise, in 1984 the Nikkei index was 10,000 points, after the Plaza Accord ended, the Nikkei Stock Average was 13,000 points in January 1986, and it rose to 26,000 points in September 1987.

There is also a small story in this, which can fully illustrate how terrible the real estate bubble of RB in this era is, in a school in Tokyo, an old janitor, who has served in this school for forty years, has been living a hard life, after retirement, ready to return to his hometown from Tokyo to spend his old age, so he asked someone to sell a small house in Tokyo, and the result was that this small house was sold for a high price of 8 million US dollars, and the janitor became a rich man in an instant, and returned to his hometown as a rich man with full wealth。

This shows the housing prices in Tokyo!

It's a pity that there are too few talents available in Wu Jianye's hands, if RB's stock market, Wu Jianye can also let Yan Wen operate after the Plaza Agreement, then RB's real estate market can only choose to give up......

β€œ...... As of today, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the yen is 238.7 yen to 1 US dollar, because we are moving faster, so the average exchange rate should be 242 yen to 1 US dollar, we and JPMorgan Bank and other banks in the United States used 100 times leverage, deducting 10% of the collateral, we now have 58.5 billion US dollars in our hands, will be fully invested in the international foreign exchange market to buy yen. ”

New York, USA!

For the sake of this square agreement, Wu Jianye specially asked for leave from China, saying that he would come to the United States to negotiate with the investment company about the investment of "The Last Emperor", and came to the United States on purpose.

And the hotel where he lives is also the Plaza Hotel where the Plaza Agreement was signed.

Wu Jianye sat on the sofa in the hotel suite, discussing the matter of the Plaza Agreement with Yan Wen, who was sitting opposite him, and after saying this number, Yan Wen himself could feel his heart beating violently.

With a capital of 58.5 billion US dollars, it can be said that this is a big gamble by Wu Jianye......

The kind that gambled on his life.

Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, the expression on his face was extremely dignified, even if he knew the trajectory of history, Wu Jianye still couldn't help but tremble a little.

As long as this time is successful, Wu Jianye will achieve corner overtaking in the international capital market, and when the time comes, Wu Jianye will have a strong capital flow in his hands.......

But at this time, Wu Jianye naturally couldn't let outsiders see his nervousness, even if it was Yan Wen, now he was everyone's backing, he couldn't show a trace of panic: "Don't be nervous, just do what I say, it's a worm or a dragon, just look at this time!"

"By the way, did I find the team you were looking for?"

Yan Wen said in a deep voice: "It has been formed. ”

In order to deal with the Plaza Agreement, Wu Jianye not only found Morgan Bank as an agent, but also knew that eggs could not be put in one basket, and almost reached cooperation with several major banks in the United States, all of which were run by Wu Jianye in the past few days when he came to the United States.

The number of people in charge of this team has reached 200 people, who are responsible for the operation of various foreign exchange markets around the world.

September 22, 1985.

Today, financial magazines, investment banks, and countries all over the world are paying attention to the United States, Manhattan, and the G5 meeting.

This will be the first attempt in history by multinational cooperation to intervene in the currency market, and all the traders are like cats that smell fishy, waiting to make a fortune on this feast.

At 10:45, which was supposed to be the start of the conference, the reporters who were guarding outside the Plaza Hotel also looked at the finance ministers of various countries, and the deputy ministers entered the Plaza Hotel.

Wu Jianye was standing on the highest floor of the hotel at this time, watching all this with cold eyes.

"Why hasn't U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker shown up yet?"

By eleven o'clock, James Baker, the US Treasury Secretary as the host, had not appeared, and Yan Wen couldn't sit still.

"Don't worry, you've been waiting for a year, are you still worried about this time?" Wu Jianye smiled and soothed.

"But......" Yan Wen was also a little uncertain at this time, "Brother, the United States won't regret it, right?"

"Don't worry, on such a big occasion, James Baker naturally has to be the last to show his importance!" Wu Jianye continued to laugh.

The minutes passed by until 11:30, and James Baker was late, and the explanation he gave turned out to be that the plane was delayed due to weather problems......

"Damn, it's so shameless!" even Yan Wen, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but scold, obviously he was under tremendous pressure. He was very disgusted with James Baker's showmanship.

Originally, this meeting was a meeting of 15 people from the finance ministers, vice ministers and central bank governors of the five countries, but there were three more people, namely Malfort of the United States, because he did all the contact work before the meeting began, and it was easy to continue to argue when the meeting was held without him.

The other two people were a little interesting, because the meeting was in English, so these two were translators, and the RB people said that they didn't understand English...... The French do not speak English, Lao Tzu is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and the historical legacy of France and the United Kingdom has led to two interpreters for them.

Sometimes negotiations between major powers are actually so nonsense......

In fact, it had already been agreed between the five countries, so the first item was soon determined by the conference, which was 'appreciation of non-dollar currencies', not 'depreciation of the dollar', and 'orderly appreciation'.

As for whether Germany wants to accompany the tie-up, the German deputy minister also readily agreed to this proposal, anyway, this time, it is not to accompany the tie-up all the time, and it is also a good talk to stick a knife in the ribs for a friend, as for whether this friend is the United States or RB, then no one knows.

Then it's time to discuss the details, how much to pay, how to pay, and how to spend it?

The whole operation given by the Americans is about six weeks, with a total investment of no less than 18 billion dollars, and in general, everyone sells the dollar together, buys the yen or the mark, and France and England can also buy the franc and the pound under certain circumstances.

It is even mentioned that Germany can buy a certain amount of Italian lira, but this is not important, so I will not go into details, after all, it has nothing to do with Wu Jianye's plan.

Then the United States proposed a distribution plan of 18 billion US dollars, that is, the United States, RB, and Germany each bear 25%, and France and the United Kingdom share the remaining 25%.

However, this proposal was vetoed by the three European countries, and everyone was originally playing with the two countries of you, so you should bear more of it.

Therefore, the distribution plan proposed by the Europeans is the United States, with the RB each bearing 30%, and the remaining 40% being borne by the three European countries, and there is no internal distribution according to the country.

The United States agrees with the Europeans, but everyone is out to play, so it's better to make the accounts clear, and the brothers settle the accounts.

So the final proposal was for the United States, with RB each bearing 30%, and the remaining 40%, 25% for West Germany, 5% for England, and 10% for France.

West Germany, the three European countries, is naturally a well-deserved big brother, the French side thinks that it only needs to overpower the British, and the British are poor and short-minded, the horses are thin and long, and Qin Qiong also has a time to sell yellow horses, so there is no choice but to swallow his anger.

Naturally, the internal strifes of the five countries could not be seen on TV, but as the time came to 16 o'clock, the G5 meeting ended, and James Baker came to the front of the reporters with everyone participating in the meeting.

"Brother, can we start the Tokyo operation tomorrow?" asked Iwawa.

In order to maximize the benefits of this time, Wu Jianye has a layout in all seven major foreign exchange markets in the world.

They are the New York foreign exchange market, the Paris foreign exchange market, the London foreign exchange market, the Sydney foreign exchange market, the Hong Kong foreign exchange market, and the Tokyo foreign exchange market.
