Lin Qiangsheng has boarded an ANA flight to Tokyo, and this time he finally got rid of Ibeka's entanglement, this chick seems to be following him, it's really close protection!

Sitting in the first class, the flight attendants are attentive to the service, warm care, and thoughtfulness, which is in stark contrast to the American Airlines flight attendants!

Last month, on August 12, 1985, the Japanese aviation industry shocked the world with the "JAL Flight 1 Air Crash", which killed 520 people.

At the end of summer, millions of people return to their hometowns to celebrate Obon, a traditional Japanese festival where people pay homage to their ancestors and therefore return to their hometowns to reunite with their families. In this case, most of the passengers on the flight were Japanese, but there were also 21 foreigners.

The plane involved in the crash, which belonged to Japan Airlines, suffered huge casualties due to poor rescue efforts and slow emergency measures in all aspects. Within hours after the crash, many passengers did not die and were still alive, but the slow rescue team was delayed and did not arrive at the scene until 14 hours later, so that in the end only four survived, after this incident, Japan's search and rescue work was widely criticized, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were constantly criticized by the Japanese public.

The crash was also the deadliest accident in the world involving a single sortie.

Japan Airlines was greatly affected after the crash, and passenger traffic plummeted. As the crash grew, several senior executives and junior employees of JAL committed suicide in shame because the plane crashed due to improper maintenance. An engineer at Boeing also committed suicide on charges of improper repairs.

Of course, ANA should take this as a warning, and it can be said that the entire airline has entered the most nervous state. At this time, any slight difference will be infinitely magnified, so the flight attendants on the plane are extremely nervous.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the small knowledge of the air crash provided on the plane and sighed with the responsible spirit of the Japanese. If there are one or two high-ranking officials in China who commit suicide in shame, it will have a deterrent effect. Let "some people" think before doing things, don't pat their heads to make decisions, maybe China will be civilized as a whole at that time!

Of course, the seats in the 80s were not as good as the all-inclusive seats of twenty or thirty years later, but you could lie down or work or something. Of course, some large planes may have a luxury first class cabin and a business van and economy class, but this one does not.

A flight attendant takes care of four or five passengers, and there are only a dozen guests in total. So it's pretty loose.

Lin Qiangsheng ordered a cocktail, plus an exquisite dinner, which was provided free of charge in first class.

After eating, he saw that the Japanese flight attendants were very beautiful, so he teased a few words, and the flight attendants here can speak fluent English, and there is really a lot less loneliness on the journey

"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm an assistant to Michael Hansen, the Asia Pacific President of Vanguard Financial Group! ”

Lin Qiangsheng met with the person who greeted him, and the man stepped forward and said, "I am also surnamed Lin, and my name is Lin Xiaodong!" I'm also the Deputy Head of Pioneer Group's Investment Division in Japan, and I've booked a hotel for you! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and shook hands with the man and said, "I'm sorry for you." Actually, I have some other things to do this time! ”

Lin Xiaodong nodded and said, "You're polite, you can directly order me and let me arrange the itinerary for you!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded. As he stepped out of Narita International Airport and then they got into a taxi, he found that Japanese taxis were very interesting, most of them were stunned Toyota Crowns, and the drivers were very old, and they were white-handed, polite.

Arrive at the Tokyo Metropole Hotel, a five-star hotel located in the sub-center of the city. The surroundings are very developed, and Lin Xiaodong accompanied Lin Qiangsheng to exchange some yen at the hotel's foreign exchange exchange point.

Lin Qiangsheng asked Lin Xiaodong, "Mr. Lin." You are the Tai. Bay people? ”

Lin Xiaodong said politely: "Yes, I am Taiwan. Bay Hualien people. Mr. Lim. I have the same surname as you, so you can call me Adong, it's more convenient! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, the pioneer company actually found you, who has the same surname as me!" ”

Lin Xiaodong said secretly, it is because I value you that I have been promoted to deputy director of Japan because I value you, and of course the Americans think that the same surname may get closer to each other so they will do this.

After the two arrived at the guest room, Lin Xiaodong saw that the sky outside the window was dark, so he said: "Mr. Lin, you may not have used to the jet lag, just have a good night's rest today, and I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning!" ”

Lin Johnson is flying in the evening, and the time difference between Tokyo and San Francisco is 15 hours, which is a day faster than in the United States, and with the time of the flight, it is evening again.

He wasn't very tired, so he asked Lin Xiaodong: "Mr. Adong, can you help me introduce the exchange rate of the yen first, what is the price now, please take a seat first!" ”

Lin Xiaodong was polite, sat down and said: "That's right, the Tokyo foreign exchange market is an invisible market, and traders trade through the network of modern communication facilities. In Tokyo's foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar fluctuates dramatically against the yen. Prior to the Plaza Accord, USDJPY had been hovering around 1 USD/250. However, market analysts believe that with the signing of the agreement, the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and sell a large number of dollars in the international foreign exchange market. ”

Lin Xiaodong said excitedly: "Now the dollar sell-off is increasing, the selling of various investment institutions is unprecedented, now the dollar has fallen by more than 3% against the yen, the market speculation on the yen is very hot, now as long as you invest in the yen can make money!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with satisfaction, laughed and said: "It will only take two or three days for the five countries to sign the agreement, and the West's actions are fast, and this is just the beginning!" ”

Lin Xiaodong nodded in agreement, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, Mr. Lin!" You were so far-sighted, you acted so early, you bought a lot of yen early, and now you can sit back and wait for your assets to appreciate! ”

He couldn't help but be envious and jealous, the young man in front of him was more than a dozen years younger than him, but he was already a rich man, although Hansen did not come to greet him in person, but he also told himself to be careful, and told him that this was a VIP customer of the company.

With the appreciation of the yen, Lin Qiangsheng's assets will definitely double and grow upward, and now speculating on the yen is really more profitable than doing anything!

Lin Xiaodong helped turn on the TV, tune to the economic station, and translated several economic news for Lin Qiangsheng, all about the impact of the Plaza Agreement and the exchange rate of the dollar and the yen on Japan.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the Japanese interviewed on the street were all overjoyed, celebrating the appreciation of the yen, and his words were full of expectations, including many words of pride and pride for the rise of the country.

"This Japanese people say that the yen has appreciated, and their families can travel abroad, and they can go to many places and buy more good things back to Japan!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, the current Japanese are probably similar to the Chinese more than twenty years later, to buy all over the world!

The people interviewed on TV danced and shouted loudly, and Lin Xiaodong translated: "This person said that he hopes that the yen will appreciate more, so that he can feel more proud!" He also said that he would like to thank the Japanese government and officials, as well as entrepreneurs, thanks to their hard work, Japan is what it is today! ”

Lin Xiaodong also smiled, and seemed to be encouraged by the interview on TV.

Lin Qiangsheng ignored the change in his feelings, but looked at it but couldn't laugh. This national spirit of Japan is truly terrifying, and in any case, what a perseverance and tenacity it has been with the Japanese to achieve such achievements in the past few decades, creating the so-called "Showa era", especially after the Second World War.

Now, he really can't say what the "Plaza Accord" really is!

Lin Xiaodong shook his head after translating and said: "In Japan now, the whole people have fallen into a state of madness!" ”

His feelings are extremely complicated, the Japanese are indeed getting richer and richer, and this is the result of a mixture of external and internal forces. The yen is still an international currency, imagine that the Japanese don't do anything, and the assets are rolling upward, this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing to find, if you change to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, you will definitely be as happy as them! (To be continued.) )

ps:ps: (the information does not account for the number of words) Japan has invested in the "acquisition of the United States", and has gradually gained control of the lifeline of the American economy, but the United States has no power to fight back. According to statistics, Japan's direct investment in the United States increased more than tenfold between 1980 and 1988. The Japanese own $285 billion in U.S. direct and securities assets; controlled more than $329 billion in U.S. banking assets (14% of U.S. banking assets); sued more than 25 percent of the assets of the banking sector in California and 30 percent of its outstanding loans; Owns more real estate in the United States than the European Community combined; Purchased 30~40% of U.S. Treasury bonds; 25% of the daily trading volume of the New York Stock Exchange; Japan provides 20 percent of semiconductor devices, more than 30 percent of automobiles, more than 50 percent of machine tools, and the vast majority of consumer electronics and dozens of other goods and services in the U.S. market.
