Chapter 101: Economic Crisis
After Zhaoguang left, the Chen family gradually calmed down again. Everyone has a tacit understanding of a wide range of things. Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei are still busy going to work all day, and Chen Zhaoping and Li Aihong usually go to see the renovation progress of their courtyard when they have nothing to do, hoping that they can do it a day earlier. Although Chen Weixiong's house is not small, everyone is looking forward to having their own home.
The holidays passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the time for school began again, and Chen Zhaojun had to move back to the dormitory to start his student life. However, this also has advantages, at least you can talk to the Japanese side on the phone. You must know that there are many telephones in the family courtyard of the General Staff Headquarters, and Chen Weixiong's house alone has two telephones, but these telephones are all military lines, let alone making international calls, and it is very inconvenient to make calls to domestic and local places. made Chen Zhaojun very helpless. However, even if he returned to school, it was not very convenient to make a phone call, after all, there was a problem of phone bill restrictions, and Chen Zhaojun had to go to the post and telecommunications office to pay the phone bill at the end of three days.
After a few trips to the post and telecommunications office, Chen Zhaojun found a good thing: a pager! This business has not been in Beijing for a long time, but it is only a year later. At that time, the price of a pager was as high as 3,700 yuan. However, Chen Zhaojun still did not hesitate to buy one, so that. It's much easier to keep in touch with yourself. However, this also made Chen Zhaojun regret, in fact, the principle of the pager is not complicated, it is nothing more than a single-frequency radio receiver, the wireless paging system is a one-way broadcast wireless paging system without voice, which includes a base station and a number of peripheral base stations, data circuits, paging terminals and pagers. The paging terminal collects the message of the called user number and the calling user sent by the telephone network to realize the functions of repeated call, re-station inquiry, statistics and billing, and then encodes and converts it into a digital signal of a certain pattern and format. The data circuit is transmitted to each base station and peripheral station, and transmitted at the same time through these base transmitters, and the called pager receives the signal of the base station transmitting ground, and there will be information display. In Chen Zhaojun's view, these things are not complicated things, and they are basically very simple in principle. But one is unexpected, the key is that Chen Zhaojun does not have his own production base, even if he has technology. Where to produce? Using these ideas can only be a matter of thought. However, this triggered another thought of Chen Zhaojun, he remembered that the long > was produced by +.985, which was a terrific computer, at that time, the long > +.=|:M ping. What does this mean? This means that the country's computer level at that time was the best in the world. As a result, as soon as he inquired, Chen Zhaojun learned that there was no long-term >+.= machine at this time. This really made Chen Zhaojun depressed. But he didn't think about doing it himself. After all, put it horizontally here, and do it yourself with a computer? Chen Zhaojun couldn't even think about it.
With pagers. Of course, you have to call home first. So he made a phone call home, and it was Zhang Guimei who answered, Chen Zhaojun said that he had bought a pager, and at the same time told Zhang Guimei the number. Zhang Guimei listened to it for a long time and didn't understand what a pager was. However, this does not affect her understanding of the function of the pager, Zhang Guimei knows that if she wants to find Chen Zhaojun again in the future, it will be easy to find, as long as she calls his pager. Or Chen Zhaoping's amount of information is larger, when Chen Zhaojun told him that he had a pager, Chen Zhaoping couldn't help but be surprised, but he knew that it was just a small thing the size of a cigarette box, and the price was frighteningly expensive. Chen Zhaojun heard the eldest brother's words. I can't help but regret it. You should buy one for the eldest brother too, so that the eldest brother is also more convenient. In fact, this is not surprising, Chen Zhaojun is a person who is used to using mobile phones, and a pager is really not in his heart, the key is that he knows that it will not be two years. The pager will become popular, and then it will usher in the world of big brother. As a result, when Chen Zhaojun proposed to buy a pager for Chen Zhaoping, Chen Zhaoping refused very decisively. His reasons are very simple, one is that if he uses this thing, it will definitely have a bad impact, especially if he is in such a unit. The second is that if necessary, the General Office of the Central Committee will soon equip everyone with a pager, so there is no need for Chen Zhaojun to buy it for him. Chen Zhaoping's statement made Chen Zhaojun very impressed, he knew it. Instant messaging tools such as pagers and mobile phones are a double-edged sword, which is convenient for oneself at the same time, but also for others, and when the time comes, you don't even know where to hide.
。。。
With the pager, Chen Zhaojun's contact is much more convenient, and Michi is far away in Japan, so it is easy to find Chen Zhaojun. However, during this period of time, Michi, who was engaged in real estate operations in Japan according to Chen Zhaojun's instructions, lived in a heartbeat almost every day. The development speed of "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is very fast, and everyone basically does not need to think too much, anyway, it is aimed at valuable areas, buy it in the shortest possible time, and then do not think about it at all, and then mortgage it to the bank, and then use the money to buy land, and so on. It is strange that some of the relevant urban planning departments in Japan are developing at an astonishing speed, and the construction projects reported are also strange. If they want to build a few villas in the suburbs and buy land, this is understandable, but they can't figure it out, what is the point of the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" building a small library and school in the suburbs? Could anyone have traveled that far just to read a book? It's even more funny when it's placed in school, and the scenery of the place chosen is okay, but there are too few people. Who would send the child so far away? But after a few months, the people in charge of urban planning began to find out. If the city ushers in a major development, no matter what direction it develops, the land of the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" will be like a bone stuck in the most critical place. But at this time, Japan's urban planning officials are not in a hurry. Because they have discovered the operation of the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company", their basic capital is not large, but they continue to use the existing land as collateral, desperately
line loans. The loan was then used to purchase the land in the new land. This kind of operation is a rapid development model, but it is extremely risky, in case they can't buy the land in their hands before the capital chain is broken, then this "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" will quickly be beaten back to the prototype and become nothing.
The above truth is not only known to the relevant urban planning departments in Japan, but also to Michimo and her team, seeing that the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is developing faster and faster, and more and more land is being hoarded. However, on the contrary, the pressure on their local funds has also begun to increase. As the number of loans increased, Meizhi had to inform Chen Zhaojun to use the money he had invested in the securities market to fill the hole in the real estate market. At first, the situation was not very serious, but by the end of August, Chen Zhaojun was a little unbearable.
—
The only reason why Chen Zhaojun dared to carry out such land hoarding was the signing of the "Plaza Agreement". The problem is that Chen Zhaojun does not remember exactly when the "Plaza Agreement" was signed. So when it came time to make a plan, it was a little difficult to grasp the timing. Seeing that it was now the end of August, and there was no news of the "Plaza Agreement", Chen Zhaojun began to wonder if he had misremembered the time of the "Plaza Agreement". Or because of the butterfly effect, there is no "Plaza Accord" at all? If this is the case, Chen Zhaojun's cheating this time can be regarded as a complete failure. In order to leave a little money to make a comeback, Chen Zhaojun felt that it was time to stop the land project and invest this part of the funds in the US stock market. Because he knew that the basis of his investment in Japan was based on the "Plaza Accord", and without the "Plaza Accord", everything would be unnecessary, and it would be better to throw money into the US stock market. Choose a few stocks with high growth potential for long-term investment. In this way, you can quickly recover your losses in Japan. That's it, at the beginning of a new short-term repayment cycle. Chen Zhaojun had a discussion with Mei Zhichang, and the main purpose was to discuss whether it was worth continuing to invest money in the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" project.
。。。
"Jun Chen, you must know that we have invested a lot of money and energy in this project, if you stop investing now. This means that your company will be all owned by the bank after the next short-term repayment cycle, and all our initial investment and energy will be in vain. Michi, of course, does not want Zhaojun Real Estate to go out of business, because it means that she will lose an opportunity to earn a high salary. Michi knows that with its own expertise and ability. It's not hard to find another job, but it's hard to find another job that's so good. After all, this is in Japan, a world dominated by men, and Michi is now the CEO of "Zhaojun Real Estate Company", one
"Michi, you also know that my capital is limited. Now that it's basically all injected into the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company", if I don't stop before I go bankrupt completely, then my fate will be very miserable. Chen Zhaojun is also telling the truth. He knows that there are many opportunities to make money in the future, even if he doesn't go abroad to earn money when the time comes. However, after 1987, when the country opened up the securities market, as long as he had the original capital, he could still make money in the stock market.
Meizhi was originally Chen Zhaojun's financial advisor, and of course she knew Chen Zhaojun's financial situation. She understands very well that if the current situation continues, Chen Zhaojun will become nothing after two or three repayment cycles at most. This is still under the condition that the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" maintains the status quo. By that time, not only the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" was finished, but Chen Zhaojun was also finished.
"But Chen Jun, weren't you very planned and sure at the beginning? I'm curious to know, what was the rationale behind such a massive expansion in the first place? Michi didn't understand what made Chen Zhaojun think that Japan must have a very rapid economic take-off, so that he used this unconventional development model.
Chen Zhaojun thought for a moment, he didn't know how to explain it to Michi.
"Forget it, I guess this is a very serious guiding mistake I made. For this, I deserve a certain punishment. So be it. Our real estate company has completely stopped expanding in the near future. If the situation does not fundamentally improve in the next repayment cycle, there is no need for our project to continue. When the time comes, you can liquidate the company and declare bankruptcy. Then you come to the country, and I have some things to arrange for you, if you wish. Chen Zhaojun thinks that Meizhi is not bad, at least honest.
"Listen to your orders." Michi could only helplessly say that she knew that what Chen Zhaojun said was the truth. Although she felt that Chen Zhaojun's style of action was very risky, she was still willing to continue to work for Chen Zhaojun.
"Okay then, we'll see you in October." Chen Zhaojun didn't have much confidence at this time. The next repayment cycle is at the end of September, and if the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" cannot reverse the situation by that time, the only thing waiting for it is to declare bankruptcy.
"Okay, do you think I should declare a holiday?" This is just a more euphemistic way of saying layoffs. Michi is now thinking about helping Chen Zhaojun save money. She also counted on Chen Zhaojun to develop with the rest of the money. Don't look at the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is about to declare bankruptcy. However, Chen Zhaojun's personal funds are still abundant, enough to find another project to toss. Of course, the new project can no longer be as big as the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company".
"There's no need for this, I think I can still afford these salaries, and everyone knows the company's current situation, and when we stop expanding, they will know what's going on, and those who want to resign let them go." Chen Zhaojun can only say this.
Although Michi felt that Chen Zhaojun's approach was incomprehensible, she still admired Chen Zhaojun's personality.
