Chapter 489: A Conspiracy Against Japan
Speaking of which, the bubble economy in Japan at this time has burst, and the entire Japanese economy is really different from the prosperous scene of the 80s and early 90s. However, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. At this time, if you go to any Japanese person and tell them that their economy will stagnate for a long time, no one will believe it.
As we Chinese have learned in our elementary political lessons, a capitalist economic crisis is an economic crisis that inevitably occurs under the normal fluctuations of the absolute productive forces of production relations. Japanese people, who like to think in numbers, also think that the current economic downturn is just a normal economic fluctuation that will change dramatically in a short period of time. Not to mention the Japanese, even the Chinese at this time did not believe that in the next period of time, that is, after just a few decades, Japan's economy would stop due to lack of momentum, and finally be completely surpassed by China.
However, Shen Yiyi has a deep impression of this round of "sinking" history of the Japanese economy. Not to mention that she has secretly asked the Morgan family to help harvest the fruits of the economic turmoil that originated in Southeast Asia, and will eventually affect the Japanese securities and foreign exchange markets.
Shen Yiyi knows that in the economic recession of more than ten years, there is a large number of Japanese companies that are finally facing bankruptcy and bankruptcy because of the recession. Many Chinese companies have even succeeded in acquiring the assets of Japanese companies and become the new owners of Japanese industries.
It's just that Shen Yiyi also knows. Because Japan and European and American countries are wary of China, although China has money in the future, it will be able to buy companies from developed countries. It is still difficult for enterprises with real technical strength to receive it. Most of the acquisitions were made by Japanese companies in the retail and apparel sectors.
Shen Yiyi also knows that even if Japan's industry seems to be far surpassed by China in terms of total volume, the core strength of its technology is far beyond that of Chinese enterprises. It's as if Japan's heavy industry sectors such as steel mills and shipyards have long been surpassed by China and South Korea, but Japan's industrial strength is enough for the country to have its own Soryu-class submarines and its own Shinshin fighters. The technical difficulty of their development of military weapons is much less than the "political" difficulty. The "no war" constitution, as the mantra that has been tied to Japan's head, really binds Japan's development potential, and it is no wonder that after Abe took office, he finally completed what his predecessors had always wanted to do to amend the "peace constitution."
It is difficult for Chinese at the moment to understand. Why was Japan's industrial strength preserved after the collapse of Japan's major industries? Isn't this completely contrary to the Chinese's consistent thinking of big industry?
However, Shen Yiyi read such a view from a later economic-related paper. After the war, Japan was cleaned up by the United States, and they had that cunning nature in their bones. So that they were ready to make a comeback at the time of their surrender.
As the fascists' brothers, Japan's big chaebol families were naturally dismembered by the US occupation forces after their unconditional surrender and restricted their development. However, after being dismembered, the chaebol family organized the decomposed industrial modules together through a well-designed shareholding and holding mechanism.
Large companies are responsible for the planning of large industries and the introduction of final products to market, but the processing capacity of countless processes is broken down into small enterprises that are closely related to each other. Some of these small businesses are controlled by the side branches of the big chaebols. Some are family-run industrial units. It was difficult for Americans to be sufficiently wary of such an ingenious design for a while. So let the chaebol groups take advantage of the loopholes.
Of course, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the escalation of the Cold War between the East and the West, Japan turned from a defeated enemy country to an ally of the United States, and the United States would not have put any more thought into limiting Japan's capabilities.
As a later generation who knows something about such things, Shen Yiyi is very hot about these hidden industrial capabilities in Japan. Of course, she would not unrealistically want to take all of Japan's hidden industrial prowess, which is also impossible. Since people took the trouble to hide it at the beginning. Then you must be quite sensitive to this area. Shen Yiyi didn't want to make himself uncomfortable. However, in the field where you have a plan to develop, you can do something on one or two key points in a small way. Such a possibility will still make Shen Yiyi have a lot of imagination that looks beautiful.
Today, her eldest lady is sitting here, willing to accompany this handsome member of the Japanese chaebol family to talk nonsense here, and what supports her in her heart is such an imagination of the future.
Of course, in addition to his own industrial planning, Shen Yiyi did not mean to look down on the Japanese market. It is still one of the seven major industrial countries, and Tokyo, Japan, is still a world fashion landmark in this era, with a huge influence. In particular, it has considerable influence on some areas that are very reverent of Japan, such as the island of Taiwan. Shen Yiyi will not let go of this kind of benefit.
These twists and turns in Shen Yiyi's heart, the Miyagi Yuta sitting in front of her would not know. He just put on a posture that he had long been accustomed to thinking he was very handsome, and talked to Shen Yiyi about introducing this self-propelled balance car, which had already made a lot of noise in the United States, to Japan.
"Miss Shen shouldn't have any prejudice against Japan, right?" Yuta Miyagi suddenly asked.
Shen Yiyi was a little stunned: "Does this prejudice you said mean something else, or does it mean something else?" ”
Yuta Miyagi smiled slightly, revealing his neat white teeth. The Japanese still wore formal clothes, a demeanor that other Asians of this era had not yet learned.
"Miss Shen is a smart person. Some unpleasant things have happened in our two countries in history, so I can understand that some Chinese have some uncomfortable feelings about Japan when they talk about it. So I came here today with some preparation in mind. However, in Miss Shen's body, I didn't feel that kind of hostility at all. So I asked. ”
Shen Yiyi was a little ridiculous: "In this way, do you think that if I am hostile to you, it is normal." This kind of polite way like this now makes you unaccustomed to it. "Do you think this person is sick? If you are born with cheap bones, you can't talk about each other.
"Of course not. Actually, I appreciate your polite attitude, Miss Shen. Because at least this friendly atmosphere allows us to have a better environment to discuss issues. Another thing that Yuta Miyagi didn't say was that such an obvious Chinese beauty, in particular, didn't have any negative emotions about herself, which made him feel even better.
"Mr. Miyagi is really thinking a little too much." Shen Yiyi was not prepared to let him have any false expectations. Originally, I was not ready to talk about this issue, but since people took the initiative to bring it up, I accepted it unceremoniously, "In fact, like other Chinese, I am deeply angry and unforgivable about what your country has done to my country before." But for you, I just feel like you're not my enemy. ”
Speaking of which, the people who did those things back then are either dead or on the way to death. For someone of Mr. Miyagi's age, I'm afraid he rarely hears about the events of the past. It seems a little unfair that you didn't do anything wrong and let you suffer some consequences for the past. ”
Shen Yiyi's words made Yuta Miyagi not know what kind of expression to make. The previous words of this little Chinese girl were a little unkind, but the latter paragraph made him feel very reasonable, and it was also a statement that he was willing to accept.
"Of course, as a country, Japan owes my country a formal apology. Japan, as a nation, also owes my nation a sincere apology. But apologies should come from the heart and from the heart. An apology given by someone else who pressed his head hard is not a real apology. So I'm not particularly interested in forcing you to apologize. Shen Yiyi said what he really thought in his heart, and sure enough, he saw Miyagi Yuta on the opposite side with a relieved expression.
"But while I think that apologizing should be a matter of spontaneous will, the act of apologizing or not will determine how others treat you. What kind of attitude do you want others to treat you, then it is best to show yourself that you can be treated this way. I believe Mr. Miyagi can still understand this truth. Shen Yiyi added such a sentence. In fact, this question is still quite profound, it is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two, and it is not suitable for discussion at such a breakfast table at all. If it weren't for Shen Yiyi's clear knowledge that there was a person not far from her who was paying attention to her words and deeds, she wouldn't have said such a thing at all, just to get rid of some of her next actions.
Ao Tianyang wore a waiter's uniform and carried a tray with boiling water, sugar and milk on it, always circling around Shen Yiyi and Yuta Miyagi. Don't look at the fact that he has been politely asking the guests sitting at the other table now whether they want to drink coffee or tea or something, his ears have always been paying attention to what Shen Yiyi and this Japanese who looks a little oily and powdery and makes him unhappy. (To be continued.) )
