What is about to break out will be a military war in the new era that makes rabbits and polar bears blow up, and it also shortens the time of bilateral confrontation that was originally estimated to take years as a unit to a unit of days, and it is precisely because of this war that the foundation of the strongest strength of the United States has been laid, and at the same time, it has also completely stabilized the dollar, coupled with the rise of the Internet and various electronic technologies, the world has also entered an era of single-level power.

Oil prices will also be like a roller coaster, falling rapidly, speculating futures, and naturally need to be closed when it is good, after all, Chen Zhiwen only knows about the oil crisis, and does not know how the price of oil rises in the middle of the process.

This time the layout of oil futures, he also entrusted almost 10 institutions in different countries to operate, so as to avoid the possibility of attracting the attention of outsiders in the same company because the scale is large enough.

Although the Internet has not yet been popularized, the age of electronic information has begun, and the buying and selling of futures is much faster than the previous purely telephone trading, whether it is buying at the beginning or selling now.

An order went down, and a few minutes later, all the investment banks involved in this matter received the order, and then immediately put the sell order out, and with the help of computers and local networks, many people can also quickly see the news, so that any transaction can be carried out quickly.

It took a total of 5 days, and when the US aircraft carrier fleet had just been launched, Chen Zhiwen also cleared all the futures in his hand and cashed out US dollars.

As Chen Zhiwen knows, the initial contact is one-sided, just like the African indigenous people hundreds of years ago, encountered the guns of the Europeans, they were vulnerable, and the price of oil immediately began a roller coaster of skyrocketing and plummeting.

Regarding the follow-up oil price has been the third oil crisis, Chen Zhiwen no longer pays attention to it after all his funds are cashed out.

This time in oil futures, he invested a total of $3 billion in the early days, magnified and bought $15 billion in oil futures with normal 5 times leverage, and then sold them after the oil price more than tripled, counting the transaction fees, commission fees, etc., which were deducted in the middle, and made a net profit of almost $16.5 billion.

It's not that Chen Zhiwen doesn't want to invest more, but although oil has the largest trading volume in the world, with trillions of dollars per year, most of it is contract spot trading, and only a small part of it circulates to the futures market, and futures are also limited in time, so the funds that can be accommodated are limited in the short term.

The return on this investment is much worse than in Japan, but the cycle is much shorter, which is much more cost-effective.

For Chen Zhiwen, another piece of good news, that is, the Japanese market has finally exploded.

Since 1985, the signing of the Plaza Accord has marked the beginning of the appreciation of the yen against the dollar, and all assets in Japan will begin to appreciate significantly, which is not good for industry and the intention of the US government, but Japan has a strong foundation, and the appreciation of the yen in the short term is equivalent to a healthy adult, eating hormones that can stimulate adrenaline, and it is invincible in the short term.

In addition, a large amount of US dollar capital has entered Japan for speculation, and Japan is also daydreaming of surpassing the United States to become the world's No. 1, so Japan's real estate, stock market and finance are appreciating at a very fast rate, which has attracted more internal and external funds.

The money involved, the madness of human nature, can be described by BT, a total of the total house price in Tokyo, can buy half of the United States, a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries design aircraft chief engineer, a lifetime income, less than the daughter's income from a year of speculation, a single apartment in Tokyo, when the house price is the highest, the transaction price reached 3 million US dollars.

Japan's housing prices have broken through everyone's expectations again and again, making many Japanese people think that there will never be an upper limit on housing prices in Tokyo, until the housing prices are crazy to the point that the Japanese government is terrified, and they are not stupid and know the threat.

As a result, the policy of several consecutive interest rate hikes has calmed the market down a little, that is, in this matter, Chen Zhiwen arranged for the withdrawal of funds, and he will not wait until the last day to leave.

However, the government did not dare to make a dead move, so it did not completely suppress housing prices and the stock market until the outbreak of the third oil crisis.

Although Japan has energy and oil reserves in the short term, the economy is expected, and no one knows how long the Middle East will be chaotic, and at the same time, everyone is optimistic about the future economic trend, worried that the oil crisis will come back.

As a result, a large amount of money began to withdraw from Japan, which led to the beginning of the decline of Japan's real estate and stock markets, and the economic bubble, like an avalanche, once it started, would be unstoppable like a thunderbolt.

Japan's bubble was punctured by the oil crisis, but it was not an economic crisis like 1929, and with the efforts of Japan's local consortiums and government, the rate of decline did not reach the level of a plummet, but the long-term decline has been set.

Among them, the biggest loss in the Japanese market is not the real estate market, but some financial giants, because in the crazy era, banks will not consider risks.

In October 1990, Japan's real estate market entered a state of collapse, and a large number of developers were unable to repay their principal and interest, which began to plunge banks into a bad debt crisis.

"This little Japan is still counting on the property market to rise again to restore the economy, but it's really a pipe dream." Chen Zhiwen sat in the presidential suite of the highest hotel in Tokyo, looked at the buildings in front of him, and said with a smile.

A year ago, it was the place with the highest concentration of wealth in the world, but today, a lot of capital is retreating, and while a place like Tokyo would still be one of the most expensive cities to fall again, it will never return to its peak.

"Now the entire Japanese government hopes that the United States can calm down the Middle East as soon as possible and let the global economy recover." Tian Xiongyi, who was beside him, said that he was the top manager of the Hutchison Group in Japan, and this time the big boss came to Japan for a tour, so it was natural for him to accompany him.

"Even if there is no oil crisis, the land price of the stock market in small Japan, which is against the sky, will inevitably have problems." Chen Zhiwen smiled lightly and said: "But it doesn't matter, it doesn't have anything to do with us, Tian Sheng, I came to Japan this time, half of the tour is for travel, and the other half is for some things to tell you." ”

"Chen Sheng, please speak." Tian Xiongyi said immediately.

"First, during this time, no matter what the financial assets in Japan fall into, or if you think you can buy the bottom, it will not work, and I will not allow my funds to buy any real estate or stocks, unless you have my separate order." Chen Zhiwen said.

Today's Hutchison Land is already very large-scale, so unless it is a super-large-scale investment, Chen Zhiwen, the boss, will know about it, otherwise, the ordinary ones are basically decided by the middle and high-level subordinates, and it is indeed because if Chen Zhiwen is asked everything, then he must not be tired to death.

However, some general directions are still set by him, such as buying a house in Japan before, buying stocks in Wanwan, buying technology stocks in the United States or stocks of several special companies, etc., these are all directly authorized by Chen Zhiwen.

In fact, there are still many people who are optimistic about the future of Japan, if Chen Zhiwen is not a traverser, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a correct judgment, maybe it will also be a bottom, after all, no one would have thought that Japan's economy would stagnate for the next 30 years, and the economy has not changed very badly, but for external investors, there is no great investment significance, it is better to invest in the mainland or even the United States.

"Okay, I see." Tian Xiongyi agreed, with the boss's previous investment record, no one dares to question his decision, and if it is the highest level like Zhou Jiayang, he may be able to ask the reason, but his level is not enough, and there is no need, even if the boss's decision is really problematic, he still dares to face to face now? Don't want to work anymore?

"Second, we should keep an eye on some technology and patents in Japan, collect information on this, and then communicate with relevant companies within the group to see which company needs it, and fully cooperate with them, purchasing technology patents, poaching people or directly acquiring companies." Chen Zhiwen said again.

In this era, Japan's technology in many aspects, it can be said that it is the world's first, that is, behind South Korea and Wanwan, in fact, it is also taking advantage of the Japanese real estate crisis, a large number of technical personnel were pitted by real estate, and they were dug up, thus laying the foundation of South Korea's Wanwan in the field of electronic technology.

Such a good opportunity, Chen Zhiwen naturally wants to participate, in fact, to this day, it is no longer meaningful to make a little more money, for him, it is just a number, the reason why he is still so active in real estate finance, but also in order to get more resources, with more resources and funds, to do other things, it is much more convenient, what he really hopes for, or his own products in the technology market breakthrough, so that there is more sense of achievement.

After all, purely making more money, for him, there is nothing to be happy about, but his own products, being able to move towards more success step by step can make him more excited.

"Okay, it's just that there are too many of these industries, I don't know if Chen Sheng has any priority industries here?" Tian Xiongyi thought for a while and asked.

"Well, the first choice is cars, batteries, LCDs, chips, especially batteries, which are the most important." Chen Zhiwen said again.

The technology involved in these two fields is too high, and it can't be done by a company without a strong background, especially chips, people don't sell lithography machines, then there is no play, and the lithography machine can't do it by itself, because this difficulty even exceeds the space station, the lithography machine itself is almost a collection of modern human industry, don't look at the Dutch Asmael can make it, but in fact its supplier, It is a top company in dozens or even hundreds of sharp fields in the world, a combination of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea science and technology, and it is difficult for the mainland to make achievements in this field in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the last industrial crown.

In terms of automobiles, people are very important, but this market industry is too mature, there is no team of tens of thousands, it is impossible to turn over any waves, and as Japan has been a strong industry from the 60s to the 20s of the 21st century, it can even be said to be the foundation, from the two fields Nissan these companies to dig dozens of hundreds of people may not be a problem, but thousands of people, it is not realistic.

Only the battery is one of the core industries of the global economy in the future, but it is still in the embryonic stage, and the lithium battery will be widely used in the future, comparable to the chip, but the technical difficulty is much lower, which is the most important industry that Midea has the most opportunity to control.

After all, even BYD and CATL can control this market in the future, and the beauty is at least a certain possibility.

The lithium battery, although the theoretical technology is not invented in Japan, but the current commercialization of the foundation is in Japan, today, the global lithium battery industry, half of the talent and technical reserves, are also in Japan.

This is also enough to see the terrible of little Japan, if it were not for the fact that the mainland has become the world's factory in the future, relying on the production of mobile phones, controlling the client of the battery, and thus controlling the lithium battery technology in the new century, so that the little Japan has lost the basis for iterative research and development, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen in the era of electric cars.

Of course, the same is true for LCD and chips, the reason for this, it is worth pondering, there is no market, no matter how awesome the technology is, it will not work, plasma TV, hydrogen energy vehicles, the reasons for failure are the same, this is also the fundamental reason for Chen Zhiwen's early development, vigorously developing the retail industry and building a good relationship with retail supermarket giants, first have a market, and then slowly develop technology, is the easiest to succeed.

It doesn't matter what happens in the future, but now a large number of lithium battery talents are in Japan, and Chen Zhiwen naturally wants to dig these people over. Just as Samsung spent a lot of money to hire chip engineers from Japan and learned their technology, so that Samsung has the ability to control the entire market, and Midea is almost the same thing, but it is in the field of lithium batteries that no one pays attention to.

"The battery industry? Well, I'll focus on the progress of various research institutions in Japan. Tian Xiongyi agreed.

"Okay, that's it, in the future, your main task in Japan is to lock in their scientific and technological talents and technology, and so many of your real estate investment talents will be transferred back to the mainland, where the group needs to open up a new market in the real estate industry." Chen Zhiwen said. (End of chapter)
