"It's taking advantage of us to finish covering and go back and make up for it. Noboru Takeshita is really leaky in terms of being a person! Tang Huan turned his head and asked Tang Wenmao, "The reception preparations made before haven't been completely revoked, right?" ”

"It's still there." Tang Wenmao nodded, "Pebble Beach Golf Course has such a density of celebrities, how dare the operation team take it lightly." ”

As she was talking, Masako Wada called back to report that Noboru Takeshita was ready to continue her previous trip and come to Pebble Beach Golf Course for a vacation.

If you're coming, let's give you a warm welcome and hospitality. Rich is the master, who makes the current Japanese economy strong, and then the Minister of Finance is also prominent with the rising tide! It can be said that Takeshita came to the Pebble Beach Golf Course for leisure, which is to save face, and others may not have this opportunity if they want it.

Tang Huan gave an order, and the previous preparations were immediately taken out again, the welcoming team, the hotel, the considerate service, and the thorough security...... Wait, get in place quickly. All in all, it should be worthy of the specifications of a private party between the richest man in the United States and the Japanese Minister of Finance.

As soon as they met, Noboru Takeshita apologized with the humility peculiar to the Japanese: "The temporary change of itinerary has caused inconvenience to Tang." ”

"We're friends, it's nothing." Tang Huan replied with an understanding attitude, "What's more, the secret meeting of the finance ministers between the G5 is very important, and His Excellency the Minister of Finance is also involuntarily." ”

"No, this secret meeting was convened at my initiative. U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker was only responsible for providing a location like the Plaza Hotel. ”

Speaking of this, Noboru Takeshita made a gesture triumphantly, "So, the rhythm of this meeting is completely controlled by me, and it takes time for the Plaza Agreement to be released." It even took only 20 minutes. ”

Tang Huan cooperated with a very surprised expression, and hurriedly asked: "In this way, the decision to appreciate the yen against the US dollar was initiated and vigorously promoted by His Excellency the Minister of Finance?" ”

"Of course, this is a great opportunity for Japan to improve its international standing through economic strength." Noboru Takeshita gestured again with great ambition, "I'll take a direct stand at the meeting." The 20 percent appreciation of the yen against the dollar was much more than they expected, and the Germans, who had always been obsessed with maintaining the value of the mark, were even a little confused at the time. ”

Noboru Takeshita patted Tang Huan's arm and said meaningfully: "Actually, the dollar should have depreciated a long time ago, and the yen appreciated by 20 percent, which is normal!" ”

Tang Huan's main identity is a businessman, so naturally there is no need to be cautious and obscure like a politician. So he immediately thanked him directly: "Your Excellency's guidance is very important to me, and I will definitely express it when the time comes." ”

Originally, after the signing of the Plaza Accord, the G5 began to jointly intervene in the international foreign exchange market and sold a large number of dollars, which then formed a selling frenzy of market investors, resulting in a continuous sharp depreciation of the dollar.

September 1985, before the Plaza Accord. The US dollar fluctuated around 1:250 against the Japanese yen; As a result, in less than three months after the agreement was announced, the dollar depreciated rapidly against the yen to around 1:200.

In other words. The yen appreciated by 20 percent. And Noboru Takeshita's hint also proves this from another angle.

You know, the general trend can be referred to, but the specific micro-operation needs to be supported by accurate intelligence. If Tang Huan really thinks that everything is set in stone, everyone is an NPC, and the opponent is a boss who can be taunted by brainless people and go in that direction if he wants to. It may be tragic to make a wedding dress for someone else who is also scheming.

There's no ambiguity when it's time to get straight to the point, and politicians love that the most. Noboru Takeshita squinted his eyes with joy when he heard the assurance, "There will be something to say about it when the time comes."

The mystery of this, to put it bluntly, is very simple, politicians want to make a difference. Supporting resources, including financial resources, are indispensable. In a non-authoritarian system, they have to dig their own food through "justified" means.

The ecology of Japanese politics is often that politicians let secretaries, drivers and other cronies do this dirty job; If something happens, let him be a scapegoat.

Since Noboru Takeshita had already attained the important position of Minister of Finance, he naturally had to aim for the highest position -- Prime Minister.

The resources that Tang Huan sent over were exactly what Takeshita Noboru needed. Moreover, the form taken by the richest man is far more delicate and ingenious than that of his American counterparts, and Noboru Takeshita has a sense of security.

In fact, Tang Huan is not only so "good" to Noboru Takeshita, in order to win large orders in the Japanese market, Zheru Japan, which is responsible for localized operations, has not woven a network of relationships.

Of course, Tang Huan's value in Takeshita's eyes is not only limited to the economic level, but also includes the political level, especially Tang Huan's resources and access to China, which is a neighbor in Japan.

Although China's economy is not yet developed at this stage, its status as a great power cannot be ignored, and Sino-Japanese relations sometimes become a bargaining chip in Japan's political arena.

Tang Huan, who can talk to China's high-level leaders, even if he simply assists in communication through the needle, as long as the timing is right, he will play a role in a stroke of genius very likely.

Therefore, Tang Huan and Noboru Takeshita, who each take what they need, have a lot of common topics with each other. One of the main focuses is on various economic issues, including the privatization of Japan's state-owned enterprises. Tang Huan has always been interested in this, and he has quietly made a lot of money from it.

For example, the entire Japanese food industry suffered from the poisoning crisis, which caused the stock prices of related companies to plummet, and it took several months to recover and the stock prices returned to normal prices.

In addition, Japan Airlines, which had just crashed Flight 123, was in a similar situation.

More than 500 lives were lost in one fell swoop, and Japan Airlines lost the trust of its customers in an instant, and the number of passengers on domestic routes was cut by one-third with a click.

In addition, there is still a so-called inside story in Japanese society, that is, Boeing, which has a maintenance error, is actually taking the blame for important customers, which has further led to a sharp drop in the booking rate of Japan Airlines.

Although it is now the end of September, there is still a quarter to go before the 1986 New Year, but it is completely predictable. Japan Airlines' number of passengers on overseas routes during the New Year's holiday is set to decrease, and competitors such as All Nippon Airways are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain market share.

To put it simply, Japan Airlines is going back to the bottom line, and the crash of Flight 123 forced its chairman to resign, and even the manager of the company's maintenance department committed suicide. Although they had nothing to do with the cause of the accident, they could not withstand the surging pressure of public opinion.

In fact, as long as you calm down, you will think about it. Japan Airlines is still profitable despite this blow, and it is rumored to be one of the targets of privatization, so there is also room for operation.

In the course of playing, after quietly exchanging information, Noboru Takeshita left for Japan.

Before leaving, he mentioned in passing, "The DNA identification team you sent to Japan. It really played a big role, significantly speeding up the identification of the victims of the Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash. As for the recognition of judicial status in this field, it is believed that the time is not far off. ”

"This kind of attempt is also being made in the UK." Tang Huan explained while personally sending Takeshita Noboru to the plane.

……

Similar to the frequent breakthroughs in various IT technologies in recent years, genetic engineering, another frontier in the high-tech field, has also made remarkable progress, including the practical application of DNA in identification.

Tang Huan also couldn't accurately assess how much his Fangyuan workstation and supporting genetic simulation experiment software had played a role in promoting genetic engineering research.

But. This does not prevent him from penetrating and laying out this field. One of these initiatives is to expand its reach into related biotech companies such as Genentech, Amgen, Cetus, etc., which is also a combination of investment in HIV research.

But one thing must be pointed out. These start-ups, which were first established in the 1970s, are still very popular with investors. Take Cetus as an example, when it IPO in 1981, it raised $100.8 million in one fell swoop, although it was not as good as EA, which was listed on the backdoor market at that time, but it was still comparable to Apple, the star of the IPO a year ago.

Everyone wants to grab good things. And Tang Huan's start is a little behind, but he doesn't plan to be too greedy, this field is also extremely money-burning, it would be good for more people to help pay the bill, and finally wait for the opportunity to harvest the fruit.

Just in terms of the practical application of DNA identification. In addition to the paternity test like Jobs and his daughter Lisa, and the identification of the victims of the Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash, it also includes another field - criminal investigation, and the British side may carry out such judicial attempts because of a series of rape and murder cases.

There are also many talented experts in this field, such as Alec Jeffries of the United Kingdom, Weishaw Taniguchi of Japan, and Kelly Mullis of the United States.

The identification methods used for DNA identification, including restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, polymerase chain reaction analysis, etc., Tang Huan used the latter, which was mainly invented by Kelly Mullis, who led a team to Japan to help identify the victims of the Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash.

It can be simply understood that the polymerase chain reaction analysis method is more advanced than the restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

In fact, identification is only a small use, and this method can be widely used in medical and biological laboratories to determine whether the specimen will show a certain genetic disease map, the diagnosis of infectious diseases, gene duplication, and so on.

Not surprisingly, the polymerase chain reaction analysis, as well as the heat-resistant DNA polymerase Taq enzyme used in it, derived from aquatic heat bacteria, are patented, and belong to the goal of Tang Huan, who has paid lip service to the idea, must reap the fruits.

As soon as Takeshita left on his front foot, Kelly Mullis returned to the United States, so Tang Huan came to him by the way to ask about the situation.

"The practical application is quite satisfactory, I am in a hurry to come back to correct several important deficiencies in the genetic simulation software found in practice, and I can't understand the communication on the phone." Judging by Kelly Mullis, it seems that he doesn't want to come back from Japan yet.

While the polymerase chain reaction alone is enough to guarantee success, Kelly Mullis is a weirdo who is a bit out of tune with a serious scientist.

In his early years, for example, after completing his postdoctoral work, he spent two years managing a bakery until he was encouraged by a friend to return to the scientific community.

In the original time and space, Kelly Mullis, who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction, opened a company that specialized in selling jewelry containing DNA fragments of deceased celebrities, including Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe.

Later, in his autobiography, Kelly Mullis expressed a number of non-mainstream views, including questioning the origin of AIDS as HIV, the solid scientific basis for global warming, and even supporting astrology.

What's even more exaggerated is that Kelly Mullis preached to many people, including Tang Huan, that he had met with alien creatures this year.

In general, the scientist likes to be seen as a free-spirited figure who likes surfing and beautiful women.

Dealing with such a strange person, Tang Huan didn't bother to talk about the difference in identity, and asked directly to the core of the question, "Is the Japanese side interested in our DNA identification technology?" ”

"Of course." Kelly Mullis patted his chest smugly, "Don, here's our business opportunity. However, I need further resources to optimize the automation, accuracy, etc. ”

Tang Huan glanced at the other party and said in his heart: Although I recognize that you are very good at research, it does not mean that I trust you to have enough ability to grasp the business situation. You should continue to be a scientist, even if you are a passionate scientist, you will be more reliable.

"Understood, I'll continue to send you assistants." Tang Huan nodded, sent Kelly Mullis away, and then called John Chambers and other subordinates to discuss the layout of Fangyuan Computer's expansion of its business to medical equipment. Recent advances in the biosciences reminded him that it was time for him to extend his IT reach into this lucrative field.

In fact, D2's technology and equipment for film special effects can also be used for medical imaging.

The disagreement among the participants was that this cake was not a desert, and the old companies, including HP, had been working for many years.

Fangyuan Computer Company, which is already very large, is working hard to optimize its internal business processes. As a result, a lot of people are a bit conservative about acquisitions.

"You should first list the possible acquisition targets, and try to get the results when I come back from Asia." Tang Huan finally clapped his head.

Yes, he's about to embark on another round of global travel, and the first stop is Japan.

On the plane, Tang Huan naturally remembered that around the DNA identification technology that has not yet officially entered the application stage, can it be possible to carry out artistic creation in TV dramas in advance? (To be continued.) )
