0345, Maintain friendship with the Japanese country?
"I want these two airframes."
After World War II, all "wild cats" were quickly eliminated.
To this day, there are about 17 or more Wildcats that are still flying.
Combined with the exhibits that cannot fly, there are less than 100 surviving aircraft in the world.
Bought for $600,000, the business is not a loss.
Reston saw that Lin Chao's hand was refreshing, and said with a smile:
"Director Lin Chao, I still know some collectors, I wonder if you are interested in getting to know them?"
Collectors in Europe and the United States have their own circles, and if they are not recognized, they generally do not see the real treasures.
As for the record-breaking objects at auction, they may not be as good as the ones in their hands.
Lin Chao smiled.
"I'm interested, and I'd like to ask Mr. Reston for a recommendation."
Reston said to Christina who was standing aside:
"Charming Miss, I also invite you to participate."
Christina nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Reston."
In doing business, in addition to price, network is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
Most of the people in the collecting circle are elites in the business world, or they are behind the scenes of the consortium.
Dealing with them well will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort for the company's business.
Reston says:
"There's a meeting this afternoon, let's go over now!"
Although the UK economy has been in a downward channel, it has not affected those collectors.
They have experienced a lot of winds and waves, and this small difficulty is really nothing.
But in recent years, there has been too little fresh blood in the collecting circle.
Those objects that are taken out are tired of looking, so they will also instruct their subordinates to find some qualified people to join.
If Lin Chao had the slightest hesitation when buying the body, it would be impossible to get an invitation.
"Mr. Lin Chao, Miss Christina, this is Karin Manor, which has a history of more than 100 years. It was built by Lord Wellington, but unfortunately the estate was not finished and the Wellingtons died of pneumonia.
It remained in ruins until the First World War, when London was threatened by the Germans and was refurbished by the current Sir Wellington. Now, it is an art center with a large number of artifacts on display every year. Today's theme is ancient books, some of which are said to date back a thousand years! β
Reston said in a slow tone.
Lin Chao nodded and said:
"The history of China is composed of words and culture, and the importance we attach to ancient books has been dissolved in the blood and is an inseparable part. Today, I feel very honored to be able to visit overseas collections. β
Although Karin Manor is well repaired, it is very dull compared to the garden architecture of China.
Lots of green space, with neatly built trees.
If you don't know, you'll think you're in a park.
"You're here."
Just as Reston was about to get out of the car, an old man with a grim face stopped in front of him.
However, after seeing Christina, he swallowed back what he was about to say.
In an instant, the old man changed his smiling face, and he stretched out his right hand.
"Welcome, beautiful young lady, I hope you have something to gain today."
"Thank you!"
Christina said with a smile.
When she was about to get out of the car, she found that Lin Chao had gone around to the car door from the other side and stretched out his hand to herself.
"Thank you."
Christina's expression froze, and at this moment she was a little uncontrollable, so much so that she almost burst into tears.
She took Lin Chao's hand and slowly stepped out of the car.
The old man withdrew his hand and glared at Reston fiercely, and he turned away.
Reston whispered:
"Our country is full of these rigid old guys, who think it's manners, but in my opinion it's really worthless."
Lin Chao just smiled.
He didn't have the slightest interest in these people falling into each other, but took Christina's hand and walked into the house that served as an exhibit.
I have to say that the decoration in the house is very atmospheric.
Famous paintings and potted plants are dotted among them, and they are not abrupt for a long time, even Lin Chao can't help nodding.
"Sir, is this your first time at the fair?"
At this time, a short and fat man in a white suit asked.
Lin Chao glanced at him.
Although the other party has an Asian face, from some small movements, you can still detect what kind of person he is.
"Hmm!"
The man smiled softly.
"Director Lin, why do you have such a deep prejudice against the Japanese people?"
ζθΆ says:
"Born in sorrow, die in peace. The history of the Chinese nation is too long, and the inclusiveness is too strong. Without these stumbling blocks of you, many people will forget that the world is full of dangers. From this point of view, I don't have the slightest prejudice against you, but I welcome it. If conditions permit, I would like to issue a one-ton medal. β
There was a slight embarrassment on the man's face.
"Director Lin, we are neighbors separated by a strip of water, so we should be friendly. Now, the development of China needs the technology of the Chinese state, and the Japanese country also needs the Chinese market. We should unite and work together to revitalize Asia's economy. β
Lin Chao smiled.
"Sir, I'm afraid you're mistaken. It is true that the Wa Kingdom needs the market in China, but China does not necessarily need your technology. Put away your theism, if the Wa Kingdom is really irreplaceable, it will not be expelled from the market now.
As for revitalizing the Asian economy, I am afraid you don't have to worry about it. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, your government did a good job. If it weren't for China, what would the Asian economy look like now? β
The man was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say in a whisper:
"Director Lin, the Wa Kingdom also wanted to save it, but we were powerless at that time."
Lin Chao said coldly:
"The financial crisis of 1997, which began with the Plaza Accord and the continued appreciation of the yen against the dollar, forced the Japanese to abandon the Citigroup market and enter the Southeast Asian market in a big way.
You have set up chess pieces in various places, first, to facilitate the transportation of your own fleet, and secondly, to use the production area as a dumping ground.
However, in the financial turmoil that began in 95, the economies of Southeast Asian countries began to decline, and after the inflation rate increased sharply, raw materials also rose wildly.
This is a fundamental blow to the Japanese economy, and you have to save it. In just one year, $12 billion was withdrawn from Thailand, $8 billion from South Korea, and $4 billion from Indonesia. You and I both know the consequences of such a large-scale withdrawal of capital.
Then, you used all your strength to encourage the Chinese government to keep the currency stable, and even appreciate.
It took us 8 years to get out of this crisis. To this end, a series of reforms to expand domestic demand have also been launched, such as medical reform, housing reform, enterprise reform, and education reform. This was followed by a wave of layoffs, inflation, and so on.
Now, you're doing it again, siphoning most of the money out of Citi, triggering the subprime mortgage crisis. After doing so much evil, you still want to talk about friendship with Huaxia, why don't you dream about it! β
