Sitting down again, Old Man David calmed down and began to analyze Sean, "You want to cut a knife from the book, it's no problem, I picked three companies to avoid being hostile to everyone, and it's no problem." ”

Sean raised his eyebrows, and what kind of desire to suppress the taste of these words sounded.

"It's no problem if you want to win over some domestic home appliance companies and automobile manufacturing companies that are opposed to them, but!"

Sean: Here we go.

"However, you hope that in the end, everyone will put pressure on the government, force the book government, and finally make them bow their heads, which is unrealistic!"

"So, you are not optimistic about my operation, and you think it will fail." The corners of Sean's mouth twitched.

"Yes!" Old man David nodded.

"Then you didn't say it earlier!"

"Young man, you have been too smooth sailing over the years, and the right setbacks can make you grow faster." Old man David said seriously.

Sean tilted his head and looked at Old Man David, he was extra to help you just now, you were so angry, what the hell, is there such a trick!

"You say, I listen, I still don't believe it!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"It's okay if you want to take advantage of the U.S.-Japan trade conflict, but do you know the history of trade friction between the U.S. and Japan over the years?" The old man looked at Sean calmly, "We invest in politicians, and politicians give us help, but this help cannot be unlimited, although the book government is under our control, it does not mean that we can put pressure at will, this is limited." ”

Sean pursed his lips and didn't say anything, he only knew that there was a lot of friction between the two countries in this era, and the home appliance industry, automobile industry, and semiconductor industry of the book were defeated by the United States.

Therefore, Sean believes that uniting these loss-making enterprises in the United States can definitely form an anti-Japanese trend and force the other side to make concessions and pay compensation.

"First of all, I'll tell you about history." Old man David said in a calm voice: "The trade friction between the United States and Japan has been around since 1960, and it was originally a textile trade war. ”

"The low-cost textiles of the book slowly hit the U.S. market, the market share increased significantly, a large number of domestic textile companies in the United States went bankrupt, the bankruptcy tide reached its peak in 1968, and several major domestic textile companies could not withstand it completely."

"Since 1965, the United States and Japan have changed from a trade surplus to a deficit, with $2 billion to $3 billion a year flowing into the book, in this case, the U.S. government began to intervene officially, and finally reached a U.S.-Japan textile trade agreement in 1972, which opened the prelude to the U.S.-Japan trade war."

"Then it was the 70s,Color TV war and steel war,After the export of textiles was limited,The book has been upgraded,A large amount of capital has flowed from the textile industry to the home appliance manufacturing industry and steel manufacturing industry,The first force is the TV industry,The black and white TV of the book,Color TV began to be exported to the United States in large quantities,About 90% of the imported color TVs in the United States,Occupy more than 30% of the market in the United States。

"At the same time, there is also the steel industry, and the United States has gone from being an exporter of steel to a net importer."

"A large number of home appliance manufacturing enterprises have gone bankrupt, at the same time, the trade deficit between the United States and Japan has further expanded, and the steel industry is the foundation of a country, the energy of steel giants you understand, during this period, during this period, the book can not withstand the pressure, 3 times actively limit the export of no steel, but still let the United States steel enterprises decline rapidly,"

"At the same time, the trade deficit between the two countries has further expanded, has reached about 15 billion US dollars, a large number of asset outflows, finally, the government continued to exert force, in 1977 the United States and Japan signed a trade agreement, the book was restricted to the United States color TV exports, 1976 special steel import quota restriction agreement, 1978 United States steel launched the price protection system."

"Every year, a large amount of money flows into the book, and the signed agreement forces the book to compromise, which makes a large amount of money flow into the automobile industry, 1975 began, the book of automobile companies into the rapid development channel, low-cost economic cars began to appear in the American market, by a large number of low-income groups like, began to impact the United States auto companies."

"By 1980, the production of the book car has surpassed the United States to become the world's first, the government had to force the book again, in 1981, the two countries signed a trade agreement between the United States and Japan on automobiles and parts, restricting the import of Japanese cars, raising tariffs on the book, and stabilizing American car companies."

"Then you know, in the '85 Plaza Accord, we forced Japan, Britain, Germany, France, and their currencies to appreciate, thereby inducing the depreciation of the dollar and saving the American economy.

"There is also last year, the 1987 US-Japan semiconductor trade agreement, after the US-Japan Tokyo negotiations in 81, we imposed 100% tariffs on some semiconductor products in Japan on the grounds of anti-dumping, but this still did not reduce the impact of the semiconductor industry, last year, we had to work again."

"By 1985, the trade deficit between the United States and Japan was as high as $46.2 billion, and you can imagine how much money flowed into Japan over the years.

"But the effect is not so ideal, taking the automobile industry as an example, we can forcibly raise tariffs, sign various agreements, reduce the impact of the book car on the American market, but, the world is not only the United States, the book has become the world's largest car producer, their cars have seized the foreign market, which has led to the rapid shrinkage of our car exports, data show that in 1982 our automobile industry workers had 200,000 unemployed."

Sean opened his mouth, he thought of the Toyota War, Africa imported a lot of Toyota cars instead of American Ford and Chevrolet, tsk, at that time he was thinking about the price.

"Exports are shrinking, unemployment is skyrocketing, even if we have a Plaza Accord, the dollar depreciates, and the competitiveness of exports is improved, but the effect is not obvious, and the political resources and influence of the United States are not unlimited."

"The 85 Square Agreement has offended Britain, France, Germany and Japan, and last year again forced the Benzi government to make concessions, and now you want to encourage Reagan again, difficult, difficult, difficult."

Sean pursed his lips and exhaled, "Well, you mean I can't count on the U.S. government to back me up." ”

Whether it is the home appliance industry, the automobile industry or the steel industry, the mud cannot support the wall, and the government has tried its best to pull the shelf, and it is especially like this.

Old man David nodded, and shook his head again, "It's not impossible, this requires you to stir up public opinion first and set off an anti-Japanese trend in the United States or the world, and then as an elected government, the official will have enough reasons to exert pressure on Japan." ”

Sean squinted and fell into deep thought, it didn't seem like it was impossible, it was just ......

Looking up at Old Man David, "You agree?" ”

"You're always embarrassed to let your family suffer losses, so you take the benefits to yourself, right?"

"The meat is rotten in the pot!" Sean sat back on the couch.

"So that's a pot?"

Sean snorted, and his expression immediately became solemn, "I, Sean, am a staunch Rockefellerist, and I must not let the family suffer!" ”

Old man David sneered, stinky and shameless thing!

"You have a hard time with the book government just because of the things in the east, and you have to mobilize the fleet to threaten them, this is not good, this is not a mafia, you are also a person with status and status now, this reason is not sufficient."

"I can allow you to expose Mitsubishi's forcible acquisition of the Rockefeller Center, as the most outstanding figure of the family's generation, and because you are an illegitimate child, you can't interfere in the internal operation of the family, so, I feel humiliated, for the glory of the family, you are angry and you just find an excuse to meet with the book government, and there are enough reasons to beat Mitsubishi."

"This is a battle of dignity, it is reasonable for the nobles to do anything with dignity, this is in line with the values of the Western world, things spread, you will be supported by the whole Western society, especially the hot-blooded and impulsive young people."

Sean smashed his mouth and stretched out a thumbs up to Old Man David, "Old people, old ghosts, this excuse is found, forever teenager, forever tears!" ”

Influenced by his previous life, Sean was influenced by Eastern cultural ideas when thinking about problems many times, especially the way of the king, but nobles, glory, duels or something, that is absolutely none.

Spit on my own face, let him wind and rain, I don't move anymore, impulsive duels or something, that's stupid.

The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, but goes to the duel or something in person, what if he is injured?

He prefers to hide behind his back and command remotely, for example, this time, using the Dongfang commission as an excuse, and now he was reminded by Old Man David that he had reversed.

Old man David glared at Sean viciously, and then continued: "There is only so much support for you for the time being, you can do the rest by yourself, how much money you can make, that's your problem." ”

"Okay, the excuse is sufficient, and it's understandable that I, a young man who acts arrogantly and can't stand grievances, is impulsive." Sean pondered for a moment and then smiled down.

Leaving Old Man David's place, Sean did not rush to do anything, but let the intelligence department start collecting information.

It's mainly a large company in China that has conflicts with the book.。

In the home appliance industry, Whirlpool, Mattec, Carrier, and the three major domestic giants in the United States have all been beaten by the Japanese.

Whirlpool, founded in 1911 and headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of large household appliances.

Founded in 1907, Maxtek has more than 26,000 employees and is one of the four major appliance manufacturers in the United States.

Carrier Corporation, founded in 1902 by Dr. Carrier, the inventor of the modern air conditioner, is headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, and employs 53,000 people.

Whirlpool, Matech, the white goods manufacturer with the most fierce competition with the book, the two giants that survived the previous TV wars.

Carrier, the air conditioning giant, has fierce competition with Toshiba and Hitachi, and the main competitive market is not only household air conditioning, but also central air conditioning from buildings, hotels and shopping malls.

In addition to this, the automotive industry, General Electric, Ford Motor, etc., can be pulled out by Sean.

Of course, before that, the first thing Sean did was to stir up anti-Japanese sentiment in the country.

"Pete Chernin, Sony is in talks with Coca-Cola to buy Columbia Pictures, you know that, right?"

"You know, in fact, the Japanese were laying out in 86, or even earlier." Chernin said: "In the early days, Sony engaged in gramophones, tape recorders, and tapes, and Sony believed that only when the software developed and expanded, the hardware could play its due role, so they were in the layout of audio and video products in 68 years, and cooperated with CBS to open the largest record company in Japan. ”

"It is also this policy that allows Sony's audio equipment to quickly seize the market and expand globally."

"After 82 years, in order to promote their CD technology and seize the most important market in the world, at the suggestion of Sony, CBS/SONY built a CD factory in the United States, and later Lawrence Tehu, the majority shareholder of the CBS Group, wanted to sell CBS Records, and CBS Walter Etonnikov suggested that the company be sold to Benzi."

"Akio Morita immediately agreed, but during the negotiation process, CBS found that Sony attached great importance to the record industry, so it reversed itself several times after reaching an agreement, and raised the price, from $1.3 billion to $2 billion.

"In January of this year, the transaction was completely completed, and CBS Records, which has a record business in 40 countries around the world, completely belonged to Sony, and this merger was completed at five times the profit price of CBS Records, which is the largest acquisition of a Japanese company to an American company, and it is a sensation."

"Then why don't I know?" Sean snorted, you Chernin floated, and it was a sensation, this is a mockery of my loneliness!

"Uh...... You were abroad at the time, and you didn't pay attention to it. Chernin smiled awkwardly.

"And what about the acquisition of Colombia?" Sean asked again.

"It's still the same strategy of using software to assist hardware development." "They're going to use their huge library of records and movies to promote their Betamax distribution format as a way to unify the playback standards in the market, and if they succeed, the standards are completely in Sony's hands, and all the companies that use them will have to pay them in the future," Chernin said. ”

"What's more, Sony's mini TVs and videotape players 'Watchman' and 8mm cameras and other products are entering the U.S. market, their equipment is the best match is the Betamax format, software and hardware are extremely adaptable, other companies' products are not able to compete with them, in order to adapt to the Betamax distribution format, everyone has to use Sony's 8mm cameras, with 8mm cameras must join the Betamax distribution format alliance."

In the end, Chernin gave a definition, a great strategy.

"We're also using Sony's 8mm cameras now?" Sean frowned.

"Yes, both the TV station and the film company are using it, and I have to say that their cameras are really better, whether it is the audience or the development trend of the movie, the requirements for clarity are getting higher and higher, and they can only use their cameras, so they can only use the Betamax format."

Fuck, Sean scolded and was in a bad mood, although it had nothing to do with him, but it was okay to be unhappy.

"Well, the biggest acquisition, well, good, give them propaganda propaganda, to shape the rhetoric that the Japanese are starting a counteroffensive against the United States."

"Counterattack on the United States?" Chernin nodded, exaggerating, provoking contradictions or something, he was very familiar with it, but this time the blow was a bit big.

"Well, let's publicize it, because CD is Sony's technology, so, in the future, any American song must be given money to the Japanese first, and after CBS was acquired by Sony, these classic American songs, from now on, no longer belong to Americans from a legal point of view, they are Japanese, Ben, and Song!"

"In the future, everyone sings, and they sing Japanese songs, and Americans don't have their own songs, so when they are promoted, they put on Japanese kimonos for these singers, and their smiles are a little more obscene and perverted."

Chernin: ???

Even if Chernin didn't have any antipathy towards the Japanese, after listening to Sean's words, he felt that the muscles on his head were beating, and the Japanese were too hateful.

He himself couldn't imagine what it would be like to change Michael Jackson into a kimono......

He can imagine that if this set of propaganda is carried out, the Americans will go crazy and the Japanese will also go crazy.

As he spoke, Sean suddenly remembered something, picked up the phone and dialed Murdoch, "Old man, don't miss me!" ”

Murdoch: You can't die!

"Just kidding, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you, my Kashima Garden is renovated, how about a drink, well, don't forget to bring your daughter."

"Damn, shut your mouth, say something quickly, I'm not as idle as you!" Murdoch snorted.

"What you said, as if I can't find you if it's okay, we are the two largest cable media in the United States, I believe that there is a lot of room for cooperation between us, and we are invincible!"

"Really?" Murdoch absolutely didn't believe it in his mind, but he couldn't help but hope in his heart.

The program quality and viewing experience of the two stations are not comparable to those three radio stations, and if they are really united, they will definitely be able to grab more market share from the three radio stations.

"Three days later." Murdoch agreed.

"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you." Sean smiled and suddenly said, "By the way, there is a publicity, I'll ask the people below to send it to you when I go back and help cooperate." ”

Murdoch: "......"

I knew you were a son of a bitch.

"Don't worry, it's definitely hype-worthy, it's very easy to pull ratings, it doesn't matter if there's any numbness, push it to me, when did my Sean pit his friends!" Sean said in a big way.

"Okay, let's go." Murdoch reluctantly agreed, although the two companies did not unite openly before, but the secret cooperation was not less, and the two stations quarreled with each other and dismantled the stage, which was better than the show.

Hanging up the phone, Sean looked at Chernin again, "I want to promote CBS, and after stirring up the people's emotions, I will poke out Sony's acquisition of Colombia." ”

"The symbol of Colombia is not the Statue of Liberty, go back and change the kimono to the Statue of Liberty, looser, the kind that leaks, the smile should be obscene, and make a bow GIF."

"Oh yes, don't hold the torch anymore, it's become a symbol of the Japanese, where can it still burn!"

"Well, it becomes...... The one that women usually use, the kind of buzzing massage. Sean raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face gradually became perverted.

Chernin looked confused, what?

This is Sean's misunderstanding, he is familiar with massage sticks, but this thing was only developed in 87 years, Japan's Daito Electric, which makes electric hair clippers, and later changed its head to become a fascia massage gun to relax muscles......

Well, it's not a big difference, it's really relaxing......

It's just that I didn't expect that the majority of female friends developed its real function, and later in the early 90s, it was known to the world that there was such a magical tool through the output of Japanese action movies.

Well, the first was the SM tool on the spot......

(PS: I don't understand, is it because the power was too high at the beginning?) ）

Sean described the communication, Chernin was stunned, but the gaze at Sean became weird, the boss has so many women, in fact, ...... Well, no way, it's quite normal.

The atmosphere in the room was very awkward for a while.

"I said I didn't actually use it, but I saw it a long time ago, do you believe it?" Sean was also extremely embarrassed, where did he think that this thing was only spreading privately in a small area now.

"I, letter!" Chernin nodded 'firmly', he was afraid of being silenced.

"Fuck!" Sean kicked him angrily, "I've really seen it in Japan, and the hell knows it's not popular." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Chernin nodded frantically.

I can't explain it.

"Fuck off, stay away from me, see you fucking angry, get things done for me, emotions must be teased, if the audience doesn't know what that thing is for, then you can popularize science!" Sean was not at ease and raised his mouth.

"Don't worry, we will let it out little by little and promise to provoke anti-Japanese sentiment."

Chernin was gone, sitting in the car, and for some reason, involuntarily remembered the thing that Sean had said.

He is not young anymore, he is busy with work every day, and he is indeed a little powerless, the key is in the TV station, all the women who come in and out are beautiful, and I don't know how many women are seduced every day......

Hey, buy a few back, well, it can be said that the boss ordered it, and Chelny's smile gradually became perverted...... For work, yes, that's it.

Sean: MMP

……

As soon as she heard that she was going to Sean's Deer Island for a banquet in three days' time, Murdoch's eldest daughter Prudence's eyes began to light up.

Not to mention, start a big purchase, from top to bottom, from underwear to dresses, all kinds of jewelry should also be complete.

In order to make himself more beautiful and attractive, Prudence simply asked Twentieth Century Fox to help hire a team of stylists to serve him.

When he heard the news, Murdoch was devastated, and suddenly wanted to kill Sean.

Bring...... How about 50 bodyguards?

Well, Sean's bastard would never have thought that this could be there!

Thinking about it, Murdoch's smile gradually became perverted......
