Chapter 187: High-end Bureau
After the dinner ended, Kentaro Miyamoto and Miki Fujiwara returned to the room where they were staying. He sat down on the single couch in the living room.
Kentaro Miyamoto leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "I ate too much." ”
Fujiwara Miki sat down on the other single sofa next to him, leaned forward towards him and leaned over and said, "That's what you said earlier. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto put his right palm on his belly and stroked it up and down, "I said so many things, what do you mean by me?" ”
Fujiwara Miki said bluntly: "If you want to make a game, you are at most an accomplice, and those big chaebols are the real main culprits." ”
Kentaro Miyamoto understood: "I'm just thinking about it and having a good time." You can't take it seriously, right? ”
Fujiwara Miki didn't say anything and laughed: "I really took it seriously." ”
Kentaro Miyamoto had a saying: "To manipulate such a large plate is definitely not something that a person of my level can do."
Uncle Masao is the real one who only plays high-end games. Even Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was successfully won by him 10% of the shares, but it was a terrible thing. ”
Fujiwara Miki didn't understand, "Didn't Chairman Ishihara tell us personally that he was only interested in commercial rocket launches?" ”
Kentaro Miyamoto couldn't help but laugh and said, "You also believe this?" Should I say you're simple? Or are you stupid?
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is not only a private Japanese enterprise in the field of heavy industry, but also a military enterprise. This also directly involves the government and the military.
Without the nods of the government and military bigwigs, the leaders of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the top decision-makers of the Iwasaki family would not have been able to do so.
This transaction is by no means a pure business cooperation. For a special transaction like this, even the Ministry of Commerce will not be able to pass the hurdle.
If Uncle Masao is really only interested in commercial rocket launches, a project that can exceed a trillion in the future, then he can directly increase his investment in Musk's company called Space Exploration Technology.
What's more, rocket recovery technology is the only one that has researched and mastered it, and is at the forefront of the world. After all, rocket launches at this stage, those are all disposable. ”
He paused at this point, deliberately lowered his voice, and then added: "You should know the Plaza Accord!"
There has always been a voice from the outside world that those high-ranking officials of the Japanese government at that time were quite stupid and fell for the conspiracy of the Americans. Is that really the case? The answer is no.
Japan also sees the high risks involved, and has privately rehearsed the worst-case scenario. Why did Japan still sign it?
It was the United States that came up with a major threat that Japan had to be forced to accept, and that was Okinawa. Since August 15, 1945, after Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II, Okinawa was occupied by the United States and administered by the United States.
After the 1952 San Francisco Peace Treaty came into effect, the U.S. military occupied the area and built military facilities such as airfields, missile bases, and barracks on the island.
In November 1965, Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato visited the United States to discuss the issue of the return of Okinawa with U.S. President Johnson.
In November 1969, Eisaku Sato visited the United States again and issued a joint statement with President Nixon to return the administration of Okinawa to Japan in 1972.
In June 1971, Japan and the United States signed the Okinawa Return Agreement, which stipulated that the United States would renounce its administration of Okinawa. Okinawa's Voice of America can continue to be used for 5 years;
Within five years from the date of entry into force of the agreement, Japan will pay $320 million to the United States for the cost of receiving retirement benefits for U.S. facilities, base workers, and the removal of special weapons......
On May 15, 1972, when the agreement between the two sides came into effect, the United States returned Okinawa to Japan, but it was not the whole thing.
It is a well-known objective fact that even today, the United States has only returned part of Okinawa to Japan.
The purpose of telling you this period of history is to say that the United States at that time threatened Japan with Okinawa, and if it did not sign the "Plaza Agreement," it would not pay it back.
During this period, in addition to the active protests of Okinawans and other people, the chaebols contributed a lot of money. Although it is only a nominal return to Okinawa, it has an extraordinary and far-reaching significance.
As a result, a new trend of thought and a new consensus have emerged and formed among the Japanese business circles, that is, to achieve political goals through economic means. The four northern islands are still in the hands of the Russians.
It is impossible to take back the four northern islands by means of war, as far as the current situation is concerned. It is even more unrealistic to take back the four northern islands through political means.
The only thing left is to get back the four northern islands from the Russians by economic means, or rather, by spending money to redeem them.
As for how to buy deciously and how to sell decently on the other side, the two sides are pulling and pulling over and over again. Not only that, but they also have to give a good account to their ordinary citizens. ”
It was the first time Miki Fujiwara had heard of it, and asked in disbelief, "Really, or fake?" ”
Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. As for the source of the information, I heard these things from my own father.
What's even more exciting is that the Japanese financial community has always had a plan, that is, to completely drive the Americans out of Japan's territory.
Who wants their neck to be ridden by outsiders? Japan's recognition of the United States as a father is also forced, and it is not out of sincerity. The Japan-US alliance is about using each other and calculating. ”
Fujiwara Miki was refreshed and said, "It's too complicated. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto said eloquently: "High-end bureaus have always been like this. If the strength and level are insufficient, even if you want to join, you can't do it at all.
If the strength and level are satisfied, someone will presumably take the initiative to pull it in. As long as the business is big enough, don't think about staying out of politics and staying alone.
In my personal opinion, whether Uncle Masao was pulled in or actively joined, it shows that his Karuizawa group has become a force and force that cannot be ignored in Japan.
Uncle Masao's stance and stance will directly affect all aspects of Japan. This is not only economic, but also political, social, and so on. ”
Fujiwara Miki was an eye-opener and said, "I've heard you say that Chairman Ishihara has obvious left-wing political tendencies in Japan. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto boldly guessed: "Even if Uncle Masao is not a populist, he will not be happy to see the US military stationed on Japanese soil."
He tried to restore Japan to a normal country. This is neither a defeated country that has always continued as a defeated country, nor is it a fascist state that has embarked on militarism. ”
