Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Right Choice [Ask for Subscription!2nd Update]

Since the signing of the Plaza Accord, the yen has risen from 25 to 1 to 1 against the dollar.

The sharp appreciation of the yen has also made the company rich.

In particular, local industries such as Nintendo, Namco, and Hudson account for the majority of large companies. This kind of feeling that you can buy one steamed bun a year ago and two steamed buns the next year if you have one dollar in your pocket.

The entrepreneurs of the company cannot be called stupid, and the large appreciation of the yen is almost a devastating blow to the export industry.

If it weren't for the fact that the red and white machines produced by Nintendo had been in production for several years, the price of electronic components had been reduced to the price of cabbage to offset this appreciation, so that the cost of making NES would not have risen.

Otherwise, Nintendo's overseas strategy will collapse.

For example, a company like Sega, which has foreign capital involvement, simply chooses to build factories in the United States and Europe, and produce and sell nearby.

Although wages in these places are high, they are not a loss compared to the yen that is rising day by day.

However, most industries are not as fortunate as the video game industry.

As a result of the sharp appreciation of the yen against the dollar, the competitiveness of the industry has been sharply reduced.

The company that has almost swept the low-end market around the world, in the face of daily changes in the exchange rate, it is impossible to say that it does not have a toothache.

Even, if you own a house in Tokyo, you can make more money in a month because of the increase in value than if you make a factory a year's worth of products.

The bosses are not stupid, in this case, a large number of capitalists with cash in their hands, choose to invest their money in the real estate industry, or financial real estate.

Because, compared to industry or finance, money comes quickly. And, almost nothing, the money is there and the money is constantly turning over.

Compared to engaging in industry, the financial industry is too easy and too profitable.

When the exchange rate increased to 15 yuan, Takahashi had already begun to sell the Tokyo properties that he had been buying for two years.

On the map of Tokyo, the number of pins representing Takahashi's real estate has been decreasing, and his wealth has skyrocketed day by day. Takahashi converted the money into dollars as slowly as possible.

In order to prevent the authorities from looking for themselves to drink tea, in addition to a small transfer of funds into dollars. Takahashi also chose to pay in Japanese yen for the money that 10,000 households need to pay in countries around the world.

The money after the sale of the goods will not flow back to the headquarters, but will remain in the accounts of the 10,000 households where the goods have been sold.

In this way, little by little, Wanhu began the journey of moving ants.

Logically speaking, the economy is far from collapsing. Capital from all over the world is surging, and a large amount of hot money will speculate on the real estate market that is more red than Dongfanghong.

However, Takahashi began to plan to transfer assets outward early. Because, he is not the main player in this game.

Don't think it's really global.

Although Takahashi knew that the economy of Yuben would continue to rise, he didn't know when to close his door and let the dog go.

If you are more greedy, choose to get out when the yen exchange rate is at its highest. Let's not talk about whether you can find the highest point, that is, whether you can get out of it all, it's a question.

Takahashi is not like some stockholders who always fantasize about buying from the lowest point and selling from the highest.

Is that realistic?

Realistic eggs.

Anyway, I have taken advantage of this wave of finance and made an unknown amount of capital.

Now, even China's government, which is desperate for dollars, is strongly urging 10,000 households to change their settlement currency from dollars to yen.

Takahashi naturally follows the wishes of these people.

However, most of the companies in this country do not choose to sell their real estate little by little like 10,000 households.

The entire circle of video game manufacturers seems to have blown a wave of the headquarters building.

SNK's new plan, TEC, Konami, and Capcom all have plans to build new headquarters buildings, or they have already begun to build them.

With the price of land in Tokyo doubling in almost a month, there is no reason not to build a headquarters building.

Even if you can't use all of them after you've built them, you can sell them.

However, because the price of land and building materials has risen very high. Although these video game manufacturers can be said to be arrogant, they have also chosen to take out loans to build buildings.

And manufacturers such as Nintendo, looking at the increasingly crazy economy, see the strong consumption power.

It also began to restart the amusement park plan that had been sealed for a long time.

However, it is said that it is an amusement park plan, but in fact it is also a real estate plan.

The land occupied by the amusement park also represents a lot of money.

Namco, for example, can only be a small amusement park.

And the deep pockets, as Nintendo, which is actually the number one company in the game industry. Directly began to benchmark against Disney, planning to build a Nintendo park with game characters such as "Mario" and "Zelda" as elements.

Nintendo felt that since Disneyland could attract all the children of the book, they would go crazy to play. Nintendo Land is sure to have the same effect.

You know, it's the end of '88 now. Children don't spend as much time watching Disney animations as they do playing video games.

With this mentality, almost all Nintendo people feel that building a Nintendo park will not lose money.

Therefore, this resolution of Yamauchi Pu did not even oppose it on the surface.

In comparison, Wan Hu, who still makes games with peace of mind, seems to be an outlier in the entire video game circle.

However, various manufacturers are no longer surprised. After all, the person in charge of Wanhu is not a man himself, and it is natural that he should do things strangely.

In fact, at the beginning, there were still friends who tried to analyze the reasons for the success of 10,000 households.

At first, there are indeed traces to follow, but the further back you go, the more incomprehensible it becomes.

If Hudson, Namco, Konami, and Capcom are fired from the Nintendo system by Nintendo. Even if you don't say that the president will sit down and apologize and then step down, and conduct a purge to seek forgiveness, you have to find Nintendo Theory.

However, Wanhu directly accepted Nintendo's expulsion from the system. As if I had foreseen this.

And now it seems that Wanhu's "inexplicable" choice does not seem to be right or wrong.

There are still many players playing the game of Wanhu, and Wanhu has not suffered a lot of vitality because of this. And Nintendo's red and white machine does not seem to have any bad consequences because of the lack of one manufacturer in 10,000 households.

In such an era, I really disagree with how to make a "right choice" under the tide of the times.

Even, no one knows what is "right".
