Chapter 503: Joining Forces with Capital Predators (2-in-1)
The severe crisis in the Japanese stock market, the great social unrest, and Henry's smear have led many investors to withdraw their capital from Japan, and people from all over the world who were planning to travel to Japan have dismissed this idea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Over the years, Japan has suffered many disasters, such as the real estate bubble crisis in 1990, the Hanshin earthquake in 1995, the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and now it has been banned by the world for offending Henry Williams, which has once again triggered an economic crisis, and countless companies have gone bankrupt and collapsed!
Japan has long been injured, and this time it was bruised by Henry, and the economy has been set back by 5 years!
In the early 90s, Japan had more than 200 Fortune 500 companies, but today there are fewer than 50...... On the other hand, Henry, who alone owns nearly 100 Fortune 500 companies!
It is hard to imagine that a private person owns 100 of the world's top 500 companies, what is the concept? It can be said that there is no such thing in ancient and modern times, even if it is not enough to describe it by shocking the world, Henry is the real rich and rival country, and this "country" is not a small country, but a world-class power!
The United States is the undisputed number one power in the world, but if the United States does not include Henry's Fortune 500 companies, there will only be more than 80 of them! This is even less than Henry! Henry is so awesome and powerful, so he dares to have the courage to fight Japan!
Small Japan has a small territory and few resources, but its population is very large, with more than 100 million people, and grain, vegetables, meat, minerals, etc. have to be purchased from the outside world, but these things are controlled by Henry's monopoly, and the Japanese buy these things, and the price is at least doubled. The so-called wool comes from the sheep, and the Japanese merchants are not philanthropists, they will definitely sell to the Japanese at a high price, thus increasing the burden of the Japanese people's life. When Japanese people have less savings, their spending power decreases. If the company doesn't make money, the income of employees will naturally decrease, the income will be less, and the consumption power can only drop again and again...... Under a series of chain reactions, the Japanese economy is in decline!
Japan is very bitter now, and it is not so bad to offend a country!
……
……
At this moment, Williams Manor, the man who made the life of the Japanese miserable, was leaning on a recliner and leisurely listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Mr. Williams, the Mitsui Foundation and the Mitsubishi Foundation are moving quickly, according to the information we inquired, the two consortiums have sent a total of 100,000 business personnel to inspect all over the world, and are preparing to build tens of thousands of stores by May 2002!"
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting...... Henry chuckled, and then said slowly, "Send people to make trouble, which piece of land or façade they like, and our people will compete and raise the price......!"
"Mr. Williams is wise! Such a mess would at least cost them billions of dollars in extra money, and it would delay them in building the store!"
"Yes, that's right. And during this time, you must integrate my department stores and supermarkets and optimize resources!
"Mr. Williams, you can rest assured that we will complete the integration and optimization of business resources as soon as possible!!"
Henry nodded, motioning for him to leave.
In just one month, the Mitsui Consortium and the Mitsubishi Consortium each lost tens of billions of dollars due to Henry's blockade, which is why they can't wait to build their own stores. However, Henry will not let their store be built so smoothly, presumably when the time comes, the two consortiums will vomit blood in anger!
It is the happiest thing to base one's own happiness on the pain of the enemy!
Henry couldn't help but smile and get up from the chaise longue, then left the parlor and went to play with Caesar and Diana......
The year 2001 passed quickly, and Henry's company was thriving, and under the guidance of his golden finger, whether it was business development or technology research and development, it was pointing in the most correct direction. Especially in the area of technology research and development, generally speaking, in technology development, nearly half of the technologies are useless, or things that cannot be commercialized, so it is normal to take detours. But under Henry's guidance, there are almost no detours, and the speed of research and development is many times faster than other companies. The combination of technology and business, step by step, completely stunned competitors. Although there is a golden finger to use, Henry still does not hesitate to invest heavily in the development of technology, and has recruited a lot of outstanding talents from all over the world!
Before his golden finger runs out, as long as the talent is there and the technology is there, he can be invincible. In addition to this, Henry has a big weapon in his hands - and that is money. If a competitor has a more awesome technology, it seems likely to disrupt the industry...... Powerful companies are getting stronger and stronger, in fact, this is the truth, non-stop acquisitions, endless!
In the evening, Henry began to look through the company's annual financial statements, and the rest were not bad except for the poor performance of the God of War Arms Company. This year, Henry created $8 trillion in revenue, net profit of up to $240 billion, leaving part of the funds to the company, after dividends, Henry had $160 billion, but it cost more than $45 billion to pay taxes, and the final hand was less than $115 billion. Henry's heart aches so much at the thought of paying so many taxes!
The corporation pays taxes by the corporation, and Henry is a U.S. citizen, so he must also pay personal income tax. The United States specializes in pit the rich, the richer you are, the more you pay, and the personal income tax paid by Henry alone can be worth a Bill Gates.
As early as October 25, 2001, Microsoft released the XP system, this system is more powerful, crushing any operating system except Apple Mac-OS, for a while, Microsoft's stock price skyrocketed, Bill Gates's worth rose from more than 30 billion to 45 billion US dollars in an instant, and finally reached the tax paid by Henry......
Henry couldn't help but be depressed, he actually let Bill Gates's worth reach his own tax level, this is not good, he has to work harder to make money in the future!
Henry has laid out a lot of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robots, bionic people, biotechnology, energy, materials, nanotechnology, etc., and has begun to achieve small results.
Recently, the iPhone smartphone is already under development, and it may be possible to go on the market next year! Many of these technologies have never been available, and Henry has a great appetite, and the relevant technology patents are all monopolized, and if some patents are in other companies, Henry will also directly buy them. It is conceivable that after the iPhone came out, other companies would be dumbfounded, and every mobile phone produced in the future was basically making money for Henry.
Google, under Henry's orders, has also begun to develop the Android phone system, so that other mobile phone manufacturers can help Henry develop the smartphone market. A small cake, even if Henry ate it all, he would not be able to eat enough. Only by making the cake bigger can Henry take the biggest slice of it! On the other hand, it can also prevent the US judiciary from suing Apple for antitrust crimes.
Caesar and Diana, who were born in February 2001, are now two little ones who can walk independently, but they will fall down from time to time, and cry "wow, wow, wow" when they hurt, Henry hugged Caesar and Diana, and wanted them to walk to show themselves, but I never thought that Caesar was in a hurry, and accidentally fell to the ground, and immediately cried. Henry comforted him for a while, but Caesar was still crying, and when he was out of luck, Henry hurriedly called Ulysses. Sure enough, Ulysses came, and Caesar stopped crying.
"After all, it's better to be close to my mother!" said Henry, "jealously."
Ulysses glanced at Henry and said, "Of course the child kissed his mother, who told you to be so busy and not spend more time with them!"
Henry was speechless for a moment, couldn't help but pick up Diana and Caesar, kissed each of them on the face, and said, "Okay, Dad will spend more time with you in the future!"
Watching the two children grow up, before you know it, Henry is almost 28 years old, and it will be two years away. Time is urging people to get old, and Henry feels that it is time to quickly let the gene umbrella company develop an elixir for immortality and longevity, or an evolutionary potion. As the study of the gene umbrella became deeper and deeper, Henry felt more and more that the gene was a magical code containing countless treasures, and whoever could control it was a god.
After dinner, Henry started to work again, as the richest man in the world, the richest man in the world with self-motivation, it is not easy. This is like the emperor in the feudal period, there are faint monarchs who are extravagant and ignore the government, and there are also Ming monarchs who are for the people and the country and care about the world. And Henry is the latter.
At the moment, Henry owns so many department stores and supermarkets, and there is also the Nicholas International E-Commerce Group. Therefore, he feels that he can establish and support the development of his own brand in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, to household appliances, everything is included!
Once such a commercial empire is established, I am afraid that it will be several times more terrifying than it is now! At that time, human beings on the earth will only do three things in their lives: birth, Williams, and death.
Just as Henry was planning his future development, a phone call came.
"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Soros!"
It was actually Soros's call, Henry was stunned at first, and then understood the purpose of his call.
"Hello, Soros first, what are you doing?"
Soros smiled: "Mr. Williams, you and I are both shorting Japan's stock market this time, we can be considered allies, right?"
"Yes!" Henry nodded.
Soros smiled and continued: "However, although we are allies, we are fighting each other, and we cannot concentrate our strength. So, if we join forces, it will be different......"
Hearing this, Henry smiled and said, "Okay, how do you say we join forces?"
"We advance and retreat together, contact each other, agree on when to attack together, retreat together. In this way, not only will the blow be strong, but when retreating, the Japanese stock market will not rebound violently because of the lack of cooperation, so as to reduce the losses of both sides!"
Henry nodded unconsciously, if one side of the stock market suddenly retreats, it will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in the Nikkei index, and the money that should be made will be reduced!
"Okay, no problem, I'll ask Karina to contact you, and we can work together!"
"Haha...... I wish us a happy cooperation! Japan provokes you, it is really their misfortune!! then that's it, don't bother you!"
"Good. Henry hung up.
Although Henry has cheated Soros, Soros is a profit-oriented capitalist, as long as there is money to be made, it is not impossible to turn hostility into friendship. Henry then came to Karina's room and told her about working with Soros, and after a long talk, Henry stayed in Karina's room that night.
In the week that followed, the Japanese stock market fell even more sharply. Just from the changes in the stock market, professionals have been able to analyze that the world's richest man has joined forces with capital predators. Panic once hit Japan, and investors sold their stocks one after another, causing the stock market avalanche to intensify!
The Wall Street Journal: "With Soros and Henry Williams joining forces, the whole of Japan has fallen, and the blow is unprecedented, not much worse than the stock market bubble of 1990." It is a pity that in 1990, the Japanese government still had the financial resources to bail out the market, but now, the Japanese government has nothing to do but watch the other side wantonly play with the Japanese stock market!"
Reuters: "Affected by the Japanese economy, the stock markets of Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries have fallen to varying degrees, and a new round of Asian financial crisis may break out!"
The Times: "Japanese companies have suffered the hardest blow in China, and although the Japanese government has protested to the Chinese government, because it is a voluntary action of civil society, the Chinese government has said that it cannot forcibly use force to suppress it, but can only guide the people to look at Japan rationally." At the same time, the Chinese government expressed the hope that the Japanese government would respect history, recognize the evil deeds of the Nanjing~Massacre, and apologize to the whole Chinese, which may make the people calm and rational......"
Asahi Shimbun: "On November 30, 2001, Henry Williams banned Japanese companies, which caused huge losses to Japan. Its monopoly, hegemonism, and abnormal competition should be condemned by the world and punished by law...... Now, Henry Williams and Soros have joined forces to crack down on the Japanese stock market, causing thousands of companies to go bankrupt and bankrupt, and countless workers to be laid off and unemployed, causing chaos in Japan and making people's lives difficult! Henry Williams's behavior is simply mad, if he has a conscience, please stop your stupid actions immediately!"
“……”
When Henry saw the Japanese newspapers, he sneered disdainfully, and wanted me to stop acting? Hmph, I will not give up until Japan is destroyed.
