Chapter 30: Whose Feast Is This?

A day later, Fan Wuxian saw the grand occasion of the return of the national treasure "Kusanagi Sword" on TV.

At the airport, thousands of reporters waited all night with long and short lenses, and when Yokoto Miichiro and others stepped off the plane carrying an alloy box containing the "Kusanagi Sword," the 100,000 citizens who were surrounding the airport immediately went crazy.

And when Yokoto Miichiro solemnly opened the alloy box covered by the plaster flag in public, took out the "Kusanagi Sword", held it in his hand and waved it in the air, the audience screamed continuously, due to the return of the "Kusanagi Sword", the first of the three major artifacts, the vanity that had already swelled to the extreme rose to the extreme.

"You really shouldn't have given this thing back to them, if I had known, I would rather throw this thing into the pit than see them so arrogant." Fan Heng felt a little unhappy that Fan Wuxian was making such a big deal with Yue himself in private, especially when he saw that Yue himself was celebrating the whole country on the TV screen, and he was even more depressed.

In addition to the two heroes of Wu Zhi Xiaoji and Yokoto Miichiro, there are also six major consortia such as the six major consortia who paid a high amount of money, but none of the reports mentioned how much money the six consortia spent to welcome back the Kusanagi sword.

"Look like this, it seems that you make a lot of money from them!" Fan Heng felt that his son Fan Wuxian would never do a loss-making business, especially when facing himself, the knife was sharpened quite sharply, so he asked.

Fan Wuxian immediately refused, "This is a trade secret, people don't say it, I can't say it, it's purely a matter of professional ethics, Dad, you don't want me to be a person who doesn't believe in my word, right?" ”

"Cut, that work ethic came to fool me, I despise you! Isn't it possible that I'll rob you of your money? Fan Heng said to Fan Wuxian with some smugness.

On the TV screen, when the Kusanagi Sword was wrapped in a plaster flag and lifted above everyone's heads, the crowd automatically transmitted the "artifact" outside, where hundreds of monks in the shrine were waiting shirtless, carrying various magic weapons.

When the Kusanagi sword was passed there, several priests wearing hats with the same shape as a man's male surname on the top of their heads, put the Kusanagi sword into a sandalwood box inlaid with pearls, jade, jade, gold and silver ornaments, and then bowed to the four directions, announcing the return of the Kusanagi sword, the head of the three major artifacts of the country, and then babbling and praying, probably wishing for the longevity of the country.

In the end, when Kusanagi Sword was sent to the shrine to be enshrined, the farce gradually came to an end.

After the live TV broadcast, Fan Wuxi's heart was also put into his stomach.

Although he successfully deceived Yokoto Miichiro and others, he was always a little worried in his heart, and if he rushed out again to say himself who knew how to do it and had a high status, and saw through his tricks, it would be a bit difficult to end it.

To put it mildly, it is a deliberate fraud, and the main point is to undermine the long-standing traditional friendship between the peoples of China and the two countries! Although Fan Wuxi also thinks that this kind of talk is really a hell, but if it is exposed, then it will really be a hell!

Fortunately, this kind of scene did not appear, and the moment the Kusanagi Sword was enshrined in the Fusang Shrine, Fan Wuxian knew that he had won completely. No one will question it, and no one will dare to question the Kusanagi sword that was enshrined in Fuso Shrine!

Even if someone has doubts about the authenticity of the Kusanagi sword, they don't dare to bring it up in person, and at most they can only argue based on the legends or classics of the book, and anyone who dares to question the Kusanagi sword enshrined in the shrine and who once held a grand return ceremony in front of the world's media will eventually be spurned and attacked by all the people themselves.

"Hehe, a successful liar is to deceive people so that they can't turn back, even if they understand that they have been deceived, they can only bear the consequences of being deceived, and they can't express any dissatisfaction. This time, I can be regarded as playing myself thoroughly! According to Yokoto Miichiro, they have to thank me! When they go to Yueben to take a walk, it is estimated that they will have to be treated as state guests and set off a twenty-four salute! "Fan Wuxian himself has been there for a while.

In the following time, Fan Wuxian began to think about how to run the glass factory, and now he has mastered the management of the glass factory, and recruited some of the subordinates who carried out the mission in the south, on the one hand, began to clean up the original glass factory employees, ready to retrain and take up their posts, and on the other hand, he wanted to take a look and order a batch of equipment from abroad.

When it comes to ordering machinery and equipment, of course, it is the first choice, although their character is not very good, but they still do a good job in machining, even if Fan Wuxian no longer likes himself, he can't help but admit this.

In particular, Wangtian Zhengda Group also needs to purchase equipment for processing meat products such as ham sausages from Yuben, and these two purchases can be carried out in one place.

But these things are now a small problem, Fan Wuxi directly called Wu Zhi Xiaoji and asked him to help get it, Wu Zhi Xiaoji immediately agreed, promising that there would be news within three days, and then hung up the phone.

Fan Wuxi suddenly felt very depressed, although he didn't necessarily have to let Wu Zhi Xiaoji repay the billion-dollar bill, but this kid dared to hang up his phone so quickly, what does this mean? Is it hiding from debt? Or does he feel like his wings are stretching out? There is no such reason!

Just when Fan Wuxian was feeling sorry for himself and suspicious, and just when he was crazy about the return of Kusanagi Sword, a group of Americans sat around and began to discuss their next prey.

"Bill, I think I've been too rampant lately, and they need to learn a little lesson." A middle-aged man with curly blond hair said to a friend.

"George, I agree with you, this nouveau riche is so carried away that it is simply irresponsible to let them shine in the international capital markets, and I think the American people should take more responsibility in international affairs." The answer was a silver-haired old man with a wise face.

Although the stock market has begun to fall, the total number of holdings is still a very terrifying number, and the land price in the country has climbed to an incredible level.

In 1982, the price of commercial buildings and land in Tokyo's Chuo Ward was only 3.5 million yuan per square meter, but last year, at the end of 1990, it rose to 32 million yuan, which is equivalent to a staggering $220,000 per square meter of land at the current exchange rate.

Land prices and stock prices push each other and rise in a cyclical manner. As the price of land rises, the value of corporate and household assets rises, and with it, the share price of enterprises rises, the value of land guarantees rises, and loans from banks increase.

Corporate profits and economic growth expectations have risen, real interest rates and risk discounts have fallen, household consumption, real estate investment, and enterprise equipment investment have become enthusiastic, and asset prices and the real economy have pushed each other up, gradually forming a super huge bubble.

For example, if we compare the total amount of land assets in the United States with those in the United States, the price of land is staggeringly high. Taking the end of 1990 as an example, the total amount of land assets in the United States was 240 billion yuan, while the total amount of land assets in the United States was about 600 billion yuan, which is four times that of the United States!

The land area of the land is only equivalent to one state in the United States, and it is the fifth state, which means that at least four states have a larger land area than the land area of the state.

At the peak of land prices, the total value of land assets in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward was almost equal to the total land assets of all of Canada.

There is a sentence to sum up, I am crazy!

Just as he was frantically welcoming the return of Kusanagi, the Americans began to make a move, and they began to frantically sell off the land they had quietly hoarded in Tokyo and the surrounding area, almost at any cost.

In fact, they will not lose money, and after a few years of quiet work, the price of these lands has increased at least fourfold, and even if the price is reduced by 30 percent, there will be extremely large profits to be gained.

The fluctuations in the real estate market are too great, and the shadows of Americans are shrouded everywhere, but their newly established self-esteem makes them unable to admit that they are failures, so from the major consortia to the common people, they are crazy to buy back land, pushing the land price to a new height.

After a brief period of madness, there must be a sharp decline, since the second quarter of this year, the real estate market can no longer support it, and in a month it has plummeted by 30 percent, and many people have become debt-ridden overnight, with more than 100 people jumping from high-rise buildings in Tokyo every day.

Fan Wuxian paid close attention to all the news of Yuben very calmly, and he also felt very helpless when he looked at the crazy faces in the Tokyo stock market and real estate market broadcast on TV.

Fan Heng also sat in front of the TV with his son to watch financial news, and after seeing the tragic situation of the economy beginning to collapse, he frowned and asked, "Why did this happen?" Obviously yesterday it was the world's largest economic power, but overnight it became stinky shit? It's as if the whole economy is going in the wrong direction? What's going on here? I don't understand it anymore. ”

Fan Wuxian thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you what it is." But now that they have come to this point, it means that something must have gone wrong with their economic policy. ”

"I read in the newspapers that it was the Americans who did all this." Fan Heng said.

"The Americans are definitely involved in this, but it would be incorrect to say that it is entirely the responsibility of the Americans." Fan Wuxian explained to his father, Fan Heng, "In Yueben, banks and securities industries are strictly separated, and banks are prohibited from engaging in securities investment business other than treasury bonds and local government axe bonds, and overseas securities business is also strictly restricted. However, the performance of banks depends on the amount of loans, and what enterprises need a large amount of liquidity? Naturally, it is a real estate enterprise! Therefore, many banks are crazy to lend to real estate companies, as long as there is a project with land, the bank will evaluate the land at a high price, providing huge project development funds. ”

"Oh, so that's false prosperity?" Fan Heng asked.

"Naturally." "In order to expand the loan business, the bank also encourages people with land to invest in the development of real estate projects such as residential buildings and office buildings, and the development funds are provided by the bank, and the landowner uses the land as a guarantee, which has the advantage of avoiding property inheritance tax." You must know that in this case, land is the main property of many families, and if there is an inheritance, you need to pay a high inheritance tax, so you would rather accept bank loans and engage in real estate projects to avoid taxes. ”

"But I don't see any loopholes in this?" Fan Heng still doesn't understand a little, since there is a guaranteed project, then why is there a problem?

Fan continued, "Because the price of land is not static, nor does it just go up or down. Once the land price and stock price plummet, the bank will have a large number of non-performing loans, and the increase of the bank's non-performing debt will lead to a significant decrease in everyone's trust in the bank, so the stock price of the bank will fall, and the bank will fall into a liquidity crisis, which will eventually lead to the bankruptcy of a large number of banks. In this case, the economic bubble has finally burst! ”

Fan Heng listened for a long time before he understood a little, "Do you mean that the Americans took advantage of the economic loopholes of Yue and profited from it, and finally gently pushed them when he occupied the cliff on the top of the mountain?" ”

"That's right, that's it." Fan Wuxian laughed, and then said to his father Fan Heng, "Strictly speaking, I am also one of these masterminds behind the scenes, but I have the foresight and run relatively fast, so I regard the Americans as enemies, and they are actually just scapegoats for many smart people who have made a fortune quietly." The real predators are often the ones who hide the deepest, sneak the fastest, but make the most profits. ”

"How much money did you get from this book?" Fan Heng grabbed his son and asked.

"It's a very personal question." Fan Wuxian resolutely did not say.
