Chapter 500 Standard (I)

"Lee, what do you think of us in the United States?"

Li Mo snorted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Lee, I'll be honest, you do do have some people who are unhappy about doing this. ā€

Japan's super stock market crash is not only due to internal reasons, but also to external reasons, and the external reason is the pressure exerted by the United States from all sides.

How to exert pressure, write specifically, can write tens of thousands of words of paper.

Iraq used troops in Kuwait, and the United States also used some plausible promises to confuse Saddam.

This is a national weapon, and it is impossible to serve the risk hedge fund companies such as the Tiger Fund.

Allowing the Japanese stock market to crash is to bring Japan's fast-growing economy to a halt, thereby eliminating a potential danger. The economy has come to a standstill, and Japan can only obediently be a dog of the United States and guard the gate of the western Pacific for the United States.

Iraq will use troops in Kuwait, and the United States will be able to find an excuse to use troops in the Middle East to realize its petrodollar plan.

That is the task of the United States.

But when they used the state apparatus to implement these two major policies in front, Li Mo picked up money in the back, not only the money of the Japanese, but also the money of the Americans.

Whoever you change, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Bush, I am not alone in the profits of several companies under my control, and you Americans account for a large proportion. ā€

Bush drank coffee and did not speak.

"Okay, I'll give you a promise, without my interference, I believe that the Japanese stock market will survive ......"

Li Mo suddenly stopped.

By '90, China's total trade volume had made great progress, but it was not yet a real exporter, and there was a large deficit in 84-89, and it was slightly better in 90-92, with a slight surplus, but by 93 it had a deficit of more than 10 billion US dollars.

Therefore, during this period, the main competitors of the United States, the military was placed on the Soviet Union and Russia, and the economy was placed on Japan.

Including the first few years after Clinton took office, his attitude toward China was that he regarded China as an enemy, but not an adversary.

Japan is the real adversary of the U.S. economy.

So US Treasury Secretary Summers said: "An Asian economic zone with Japan at its peak has created fear among most Americans, who believe that Japan poses an even greater threat to the United States than the Soviet Union".

Although the Japanese stock market fell to the bottom in '92, many Japanese companies took money from overseas to return to China to help the emergency, not only selling the Rockefeller Building back to the Americans at half the price, but also selling several large Japanese banks and insurance companies to foreigners.

So in the past few years, the stock market has crashed, and the Japanese economy cannot be called a lost decade, and it continues to be the country with the largest trade deficit in the United States.

In order to increase the market share of American manufacturers, the US government even threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Japanese luxury cars in '95. Lloyd Bentson, the first Treasury secretary of the Clinton Cabinet, believed that a stronger yen could boost U.S. foreign trade, so in 1993 he took measures to depreciate the dollar like crazy, causing the dollar to depreciate to 83 to 1 to 83.

The yen is worth more, but the Japanese economy is also finished.

With Japan's huge economy at this time, it took the United States only six years to gnaw it down, which is really not easy.

But Li Mo can't say that the Japanese stock market has stopped you Americans in less than two years, and in less than five years, the Japanese economy has also stopped you Americans.

It doesn't matter if the "heavenly machine" is leaked.

Not only Li Mo, but also Soros and Robertson, will also make some predictions about the politics and economy of countries around the world before the operation.

Even if Li Mo leaked the heavenly machine, it was not called the heavenly machine, it can only be said that Li Mo is smarter than Soros and them.

However, there is always a degree to everything, and you can be smart, but it is too smart for some politicians in the United States to like it.

At the moment, the Americans will not kill Li Mo with this money, although Li Mo is very careful.

But when they add up, it's hard to say.

Li Mo changed his words: "Bush, in this way, I can make a promise to you, the United States, that as long as the Japanese economy does not come to a standstill, I will never bring funds into the Japanese financial market." As for oil futures, I wouldn't be short or long oil futures until the new century. But in other areas of futures, or the stock market, if I have a conflict with a fund like Tiger, you U.S. government can't intervene. ā€

Although going back to the Americans, it is shameless.

Obviously, China has softened to such a point, and they have demonized it as the most threatening evil country on the planet, and they themselves toss around the world like that, and they say that they are the guardians of peace.

Similarly, if the U.S. government shamelessly deals with Li Mo, it can also scandalize Li Mo as the most evil person.

But the basic truth has to be taught.

Otherwise, without Li Mo's appearance, Li Mo's various customers would also protest.

"Okay," Bush Jr. was pleased with this reply.

George W. Bush is gone.

Le Yijuan said: "Americans are really domineering. ā€

"The United States will be a pseudo-hegemon in the future, what is the hegemon, Fu Jiezi of the Han Dynasty, and Xuan Ce, the king of the Tang Dynasty. ā€

Le Yijuan knew Wang Xuance, but he didn't know Fu Jiezi.

Li Mo told the story of Fu Jiezi again.

"It's fierce. ā€

"The Western Han Huo is sick, and the Eastern Han Banchao is more fierce than him. ā€

In fact, there was no shortage of fierce people in all Chinese dynasties, even in the Song and Ming dynasties, including the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there were many super fierce generals in the Han people. But because of the adjustment of the system, their talents cannot be brought into play, so it is difficult to show the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

However, Li Mo's promise was not needed at all, and even if no one entrusted Bush Jr. to come over for "negotiations," Li Mo took the initiative to give up the operation of oil futures and the Japanese stock market. At most, in the Asian financial crisis a few years later, Li Mo will paddle in the back, and avenge Soros and Robertson.

But this is also a very bad sign, indicating that more and more American politicians are beginning to be dissatisfied with Li Mo......

"Money is hard to earn. Li Mo thought to himself.

Despite his foresight, it was not always smooth sailing.

He looked out the window.

Outside the window, the leaves rustle in the monsoon winds of the eastern Pacific.

A few yellowish leaves fell in the wind......

Since Li Mo came to the United States, he also took the time to look at Rong Dike and Yili.

As for Cisco, in fact, if Li Mo counts the shares of Bush Jr. and Ballmer, Li Mo can achieve absolute control.

However, Li Mo did not interfere with Cisco's operation, at most, as before, let Hao Like send someone over to check the finances.

Li Mo also secretly went to the first villa he bought and handed in his homework to Liu Wanruo.

Then there was the acquisition of Io Studios and Marvel.

Pereman also wanted to put forward some conditions, this time it was not Limer who was negotiating, but Shefman was negotiating with a few negotiators, so he was decisively rejected by Xerfman.

There are only two acquisition agreements, and you either agree to one or not, with no strings attached.

Pereman himself is a financial businessman on Wall Street, not an entrepreneur, and his acquisition of Marvel is mainly to make money, and with such gains, he has no way to refuse. So despite the opposition of some high-level Marvel executives, he made an agreement with Io Studios.

It's not about selling companies, it's about which copyrights are sold.

He didn't put all the money in his pocket, and then took out some funds from it, and after a dazzling operation, he still succeeded in listing Marvel and made another amount of money......

Anyway, ordinary shareholders don't want to know the truth.

After the two sides signed the contract, Li Mo looked at the information.

Very early on, Li Mo asked Hao Lick to pay attention to this company, but at that time, in Li Mo's heart, it was undoubtedly a behemoth. In addition, Li Mo did not expect that Marvel would quickly fall into embarrassment in the late eighties, let alone the coldness of the comic book industry in the United States during this time.

Hao Like not only collected a lot of information about Marvel under Li Mo's instructions, but also collected a lot of information from other comic companies.

Li Mo hastily read through this pile of materials and said: "Xefman, you immediately contact a person named Todd McFarlane in Marvel, if he is willing to jump ship to our Io Studio, I am willing to grant him the position of President of Io Studio." If he can lead other Marvel talents over, the same will be reused. ā€

In Li Mo's previous life, Marvel went public in 91, that is, a few months later, but the boss Pederman continued to circle money and harshly exploit employees. So Todd McFarlane left Marvel with Jim Lee, Rob Lefeld, Jim Valandino, Eric Larsen and others, and founded the American ImageComics company, and then launched works such as Regeneration Man, known as a quasi-giant.

But in fact, it does not have many independent works produced by Dark Horse Company, and it is mainly attached to Marvel and DC, cooperating with them or painting on behalf of them to survive. In particular, the American Image Comics Company, which is a company in name, is actually a loose comic book alliance of many authors, many of whom have their own independent studios. For example, Korean-American Jim Lee has his own Wildstorm studio, which created classics such as "Batman: Silence", "Superman: For Tomorrow", and "Justice League" for DC, which was later directly merged into DC.

The other people Li Mo couldn't remember, only vaguely remembered two people, one was this Todd, and the other was Jim Lee, and he couldn't even remember it without turning over the information.

However, Li Mo has a natural sense of rejection of Koreans.

Especially after the Yili incident, although some companies under Li Mo's name continued to employ a large number of Koreans or Koreans, Li Mo was even more disgusted with Koreans.

He knew that Jim Lee was a talent, and because of this mentality, he didn't mention it.

As the CEO of a company, this mentality is definitely not good.

However, Li Mo also consciously kept this mentality in his heart and did not say it.

For the image comic company, Li Mo also did not know clearly.

However, under Todd's leadership, being able to quickly turn a new comic company into a quasi-giant company shows that Todd has a certain ability.

These young people left Marvel a few months after Marvel went public, but right now, Pereman took the money given by Li Mo, what would he do? With his character, it is impossible to come up with how much money to pay dividends, let alone invest them in Marvel for development, but put them in his own pocket.

So whether it is listed or not, many creators of Marvel will feel even more angry and disappointed with the actions of Marvel's senior management.

And Marvel sold these classic images, Marvel's future will be even more uncertain, as long as Li Mo prescribes appropriate conditions, these aspiring and talented young creators will be seduced by Li Mo.

That's the real draw.

But it doesn't mean that Li Mo has given up on Marvel.

By doing this, Li Mo preserved the essence of Marvel at the lowest cost.

If Marvel is acquired now, it will pay a lot of money every year, and its goal is to preserve these essences.

Taking down Todd not only brings some outstanding talent to Io Studios, but also eliminates a strong competitor in the future.

But in addition to these essences, Marvel also has some intellectual property rights under its name, which can be used in the future, but Li Mo is not in a hurry.

A year later, Pereman still listed the Marvel operation, and Li Mo also expected it.

It's just that the essence of Marvel was siphoned off by Li Mo, whether Marvel was 96 years, or 95 years, or even went bankrupt earlier, Li Mo felt very curious in his heart.

Then Li Mo began to prepare for the second thing.

Later, there was a widespread saying in China, first-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises do brands, third-rate enterprises do products, there is also a stream in the IT industry, and fourth-rate enterprises do services.

But this is not necessarily the case, such as Wal-Mart, which can be called a service they do, or at most a brand, but in fact, Wal-Mart often ranks among the top five of the world's top 500 companies in the future.

Although Foxconn has many of its own technology patents, in general, it is still a downstream enterprise engaged in processing, but later became a super enterprise in the top 100 of the world's top 500.

But in a sense, this criterion is also very important.

The second thing has to do with this standard.

At this moment, George W. Bush made a phone call, saying that his father was at his family's estate and wanted to meet Li Mo.

The Bush family's estate is not in Texas, Bush's home base, but in Newin.

It's also an honor.

Don't look at the American media often making fun of the US president, but when it is the turn of the US president to meet them, they are guaranteed to be happy one by one. As a foreign businessman, even fewer can be received by the president of the United States.

Except for Ma Yun, who has Alibaba in his hands, which has a promoting effect on small and medium-sized enterprises in various countries. Li Mo's current wealth can barely be compared with Ma Yun later, but there are still some differences between the two.

Reagan didn't count, that meeting was purely for show.

But Li Mo hesitated on the phone.

At the urging of his mother, he will go home for the New Year this year no matter what.

There's still a lot to be done.

Moreover, at this juncture, it may not be a good thing for him to meet Bush Sr. in person.

"Lee, Lee, are you listening?" asked Bush Jr. on the other end of the phone.

"I was listening, but I was dazzled by this surprise......"

Bush Jr. thought to himself, "Why don't you talk about it, you dare to tear down the Berlin Wall, and my dad will be stunned by surprise when he sees you?" But when he thinks of the Berlin Wall, Bush Jr. is speechless. How bold is this kid?
