Chapter 422: Windfall (10)
James exclaimed, "Oh my God, six of the top ten banks are all Japanese, and the top three are all Japanese, and four of the top five are Japanese, it's crazy!"
The Wise Rat said, "You're looking at this, this is the 1980 ranking!"

10 First Persuasion (Day)
James said: "How is it only a Japanese bank, my God, in less than ten years, there has been such a big change, and among the top ten banks this year, there is not a single American bank!"
The wise mouse said, "Look at 1970!"
1. Bank of America (USA)
2. National City (United States)
3. Chase Manhattan (United States)
4. Barclays (English)
5. Hanover (United States)
6. Wigan Chase (US)
7. National Westmins (English)
8. Bank of the West (United States)
9. National Lavolo (West)
10. New York Chemistry (USA)
"It's the other way around, seven of the top 10 banks are American!"
The wise mouse said: "You see, in less than 30 years, the national strength of the United States has been in relative decline, and now Japan has a tendency to replace the United States, and the current Americans are anxious, even a symbol of their pride! Rockefeller Center has been bought by the Japanese, can they not be in a hurry!"
James asked puzzledly, "Then what does this have to do with Canada!"
James said: "It's a big deal, the original Canada is a small follower of the United States, and it is obedient to the United States, but now Canada has begun to curry favor with the Japanese, a very important sign, that is, 100% of the oil produced by Canadian oil companies is sold to the United States, but now, a large part of Canada's oil is sold to Japan, and the American people can't accept this reality, they don't allow Canada to betray like this, so they are now starting to beat Canada, I think you should understand what I mean!"
When Yao Yi heard the wise mouse say this, he knew very well in his heart that in his previous life, after Japan's economic bubble burst in 1991, Japan's economy fell into the biggest recession after the war, which lasted for more than 20 years, and the Japanese economy still showed no signs of recovery, and the economy was getting worse, and there was no longer the strength to argue with the United States.
Moreover, a few days ago, Yao Yi noticed that Canadian newspapers reported on the control and plundering of Canada's oil resources by American oil companies, and public opinion demanded that Canada's domestic oil companies carry the banner against the United States.
However, Canada's oil companies are state-controlled enterprises, and the main oil production is in China, and some of the oil produced is sold to the United States, and only to Japan in recent years, while Juneng Petroleum and Natural Gas Company is a 'private' enterprise, but the shareholders are congressmen, and more importantly, it occupies all the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico in the United States, and the oil produced is not sold to the United States at a low price according to the United States' expectations, but a large part of it is sold to Japan at a high price, which has become a thorn in the side of American politicians. Meat's thorns.
Now it is the American government that not only wants to let this company down, but also to teach Canadian politicians, and even to some extent, to teach Canadian politicians, it is these congressmen who are shareholders who promote the change of political intentions in Canada, and it is normal for them to be repaired by the US government.
Yao Yi thought a lot in this short period of time and quickly came to these conclusions.
Now Yao Yi understands in his heart that the acquisition of this oil company means confrontation with the entire US government, not those oil tycoons, and those oil tycoons only play the role of pushing the 'waves', but in fact do not play a decisive 'sexual' role.
Yao Yi said: "Now I understand why you are so embarrassed, in fact, this game is a fight between the United States and Canada, the United States uses all means to prevent you from participating in this matter, and the Canadian government also understands in his heart, so he also prevents you from joining the war group, and they are afraid that they will now use the power of the Japanese to contend with the United States!"
The wise mouse said: "That's just their wishful thinking, Japan is a castrated country, and now there have been all kinds of crises in Japan, I'm afraid that in the next period of time, the Japanese government will not confront the United States for a little oil in Canada, the economic ties between them are too close, besides, Japan's defense still needs the United States to protect, and the oil in the Middle East is endless, there is no need to stand up for Canada, in this struggle, Canada will die very badly!"
James thought to himself: "Then what should I do, in this case, Canada will be completely reduced to the economic vassal of the United States again!"
Yao Yi said: "Canada is originally the supplier of raw materials to the United States, and there is no economic independence, so it is normal for the above situation to occur, and once this one is defeated, I am afraid that it will not be twenty or thirty years, and I want to recover!"
The wise mouse said: " Twenty or thirty years, hehe, I'm afraid that what the United States wants to do now is to fully control Canada's economic lifeline, is it not clear that the World Bank ranking just now, the sharp depreciation of the dollar, from the past dollar began to change to waste paper, the current United States urgently needs to draw nourishment, to make up for the domestic financial deficit, experts predict that the total US national debt this year will exceed 2.8 trillion US dollars, next year will rise sharply, since the second oil crisis, the US economy has been declining, growth is sluggish, deficits are continuous, the national debt is increasing at a rate of more than 10 percent every year, if there is no other economy at this time for its blood transfusionand the United States will fall like a giant who has lost blood!"
At this time, Yao Yi thought to himself: "Hehe, it seems that the United States and the Soviet Union are vying for hegemony, whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, they are overwhelmed, but the United States finally held on, but the Soviet Union fell, and the United States was able to hold on, not because of how advantageous his economy was, but because the hegemony of the dollar in the world was helping it, as long as it started the money printing press, it could continue to plunder the wealth of the people of the world, and the Soviet Union did not have such good luck!"
In fact, the United States does not only solve the problem by printing money, but it also has a very important advantage, and it is this advantage that helps the United States to tide over the difficulties.
