Under the watchful eyes of all, Li Weidong walked into Mintai Foreign Trade Company and immediately attracted all the attention.

Feeling the envious, jealous and hateful gazes around him, Li Weidong sighed helplessly.

I really don't want to act like that. You forced me! I wanted to keep a low profile. If you didn't block the door just now and didn't let me in, I wouldn't have to wait until now! Li Weidong muttered in his heart.

Li Weidong walked into the Mintai Foreign Trade Company. The front desk was in charge of receiving a young girl. The girl was looking down at the mirror. Li Weidong walked in and saw through the reflection in the mirror that the girl's skin was not very good. All are pimples.

Hello, comrade, I'm here...

We don't accept renminbi and foreign exchange vouchers here! We also don't accept rubles. The young girl interrupted Li Weidong without raising her head.

The girl's tone was very stiff, and Li Weidong could feel that the girl's attitude was not very good, and it didn't look like a receptionist should behave.

Li Weidong didn't care how bad the other party's attitude was. In the 1980s, the waiters in state-owned restaurants were all cold, like a good unit like a foreign trade company, let alone expecting the staff to provide smiling service.

Li Weidong took out an envelope with a cashier's check of 10 million yen in it, and then Li Weidong said, I have foreign exchange, which is Japanese yen.

Yen is fine, but you have to pay in cash! The girl was still looking in the mirror.

It's cash exchange, cashier's check, and cash can be withdrawn at any time. Li Weidong replied.

The girl finally raised her head, and it turned out to be pimples on her face, big mouth and small eyes, sallow complexion, but she also put on a pink lipstick, like a monkey, it looks really ugly!

This front desk is probably recruited by the proprietress herself! Li Weidong complained in his heart.

Bring the cashier's check, I'll take a look. The girl said.

Li Weidong took out the cashier's check and handed it to the girl. The girl looked at the string of 0 numbers and returned the cashier's check to Li Weidong.

Turn left, the first door, and look for Manager Chen. After the girl finished speaking, she lowered her head again and continued to look in the mirror.

Li Weidong didn't bother to bother with a receptionist at the front desk, so he followed the direction pointed by the girl, knocked on the door and walked in, and saw the manager Chen.

Comrade, please take a seat. Manager Chen pointed to the chair in front of him, and then said: Comrade is the first time to come to us to pick up the goods, right? Show me your note first, and I will check which unit approved the note. .

Manager Chen regards Li Weidong as an official, and he has to read the note as soon as he opens his mouth.

Li Weidong said, Manager Chen, I'm not here to pick up the goods. I want to purchase a batch of imported equipment through your son.

Purchasing equipment! Manager Chen was stunned for a moment. Since he became the manager of this foreign trade company, he has been doing all the work of checking the notes and delivering the goods, and it was the first time that someone came to ask for purchasing products.

Under normal circumstances, if an enterprise wants to purchase imported equipment, it will go through the foreign trade department, write an application and report it, and then approve it at every level, and finally the foreign trade department will complete the purchase.

Although a trading company imports equipment, although it can save the intermediate links and save time and process, foreign exchange is too difficult to obtain. Even if the company wants to find a foreign trade company, it cannot use foreign exchange to go to a trading company to purchase.

Manager Chen was a little excited when he encountered a new business. He asked, What equipment are you going to buy?

Weaving machine. Li Weidong replied.

What is it for? Manager Chen obviously doesn't know much about machinery.

It is mainly used in the textile industry. Our factory intends to use a weaving machine to make a core braid for subsequent product processing. Li Weidong replied.

It turned out to be a textile factory! Manager Chen nodded suddenly. Although he didn't know what to do, he still pretended to understand.

I saw Manager Chen then asked: What kind of knitting machine is your factory going to purchase?

We've done research,

It is best to use the XD90-8-4S knitting machine produced by Japan's Otsuka Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., or the XD90-8-6 knitting machine. Li Weidong replied.

Otsuka Precision Machinery Company? Manager Chen looked confused.

This company is located in Osaka. It is a precision machinery manufacturer that has mastered the technology of the core components of high-speed knitting machines. Li Weidong replied.

Oh! It sounds very powerful. Manager Chen nodded, and then asked, Comrade, which unit are you from? Those who want to buy imported knitting machines must be big factories in the textile industry!

Our factory is the garment factory of Qinghe District Transportation Company. Li Weidong answered honestly.

Qinghe? Where is it? A transportation company? Is it a transportation company? A clothing factory? Why is it related to the transportation company again? Where is this from?

Manager Chen was confused, and then he asked, This comrade, what level of enterprise is your garment factory? National level? Provincial level? Shouldn't it be prefecture level?

Li Weidong had no choice but to answer: Qinghe Transportation Company is a prefecture-level enterprise, and our garment factory is the third industry of the transportation company.

The tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise came to me to talk about purchasing imported equipment! Where am I, a vegetable market? When I want to buy vegetables, I will come here after a walk! Manager Chen secretly thought.

At this moment, Manager Chen wanted to yell: Get out of here!

Mintai Foreign Trade is really no white person here, as long as anyone who can enter this door, how can there be an ordinary enterprise! It can be said that there are as many high-ranking enterprises as dogs, and there are often national-level enterprises. Occasionally, there are one or two prefecture-level enterprises, and the notes they take are also strong and background.

To put it another way, ordinary enterprises cannot get approval slips to import goods.

Nowadays, a Qinghe Transportation Company, which has never been heard of before, is still a subsidiary of the company's three production companies to talk about the purchase of imported equipment, which instantly makes Manager Chen feel degraded.

What is Xiao Liu doing at the front desk, why are all cats and dogs put in it, the tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise can be let in! Manager Chen's face was ashen, and he planned to see off guests directly.

Li Weidong seemed to have expected Manager Chen's reaction, so he instantly took out the cashier's check, pushed it in front of Manager Chen, and said, Manager Chen, I came with money.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, ten million yen! Manager Chen glanced at the cashier's check and counted the 0 on it. , disappeared instantly.

This is also a man who sees money.

Is this a promissory note from Fuji Bank? 10 million yen, according to the exchange rate, it is about more than 60,000 US dollars. Manager Chen is in foreign trade after all, and he has also dealt with Fuji Bank. The Fuji Bank logo on the ticket.

After the Plaza Accord, the yen continued to appreciate. Although it was not as crazy as the 20% surge in the first three months, the general trend was still rising. In 1987, the dollar against the yen fluctuated at about 1:160, and 10 million yen could be exchanged for more than 60,000 US dollars.

In 1987, if an ordinary poor man could get 5,000 US dollars, he was considered to be strong, and the ability of official fathers was greater, but signing a note was only 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. It is easy to be noticed by the relevant departments.

Therefore, the purchase business of more than 60,000 US dollars is also a big order for Mintai Foreign Trade Company.

This comrade, what is your surname? Manager Chen finally remembered to ask Li Weidong's identity.

My surname is Li, my name is Li Weidong, and I am the director of the garment factory of Qinghe Transportation Company. Li Weidong replied.

It turned out to be Director Li! Manager Chen nodded and continued: Director Li will wait here for a while, I have to report to our general manager.

...

About ten minutes later, Li Weidong met the general manager of Mintai Foreign Trade.

The general manager of Mintai Foreign Trade is named Xiao Yuanzheng. He looks like he is in his thirties. He wears a suit and tie, and speaks with a pure Beijing accent. His temperament is like an unsheathed sword. Without losing the edge.

The moment he saw Xiao Yuanzheng, Li Weidong felt that this Xiao Yuanzheng was definitely a son of a high-ranking official.

Director Li, please take a seat. Xiao Yuanzheng pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

Li Weidong sat down, glanced at the furnishings in front of Xiao Yuanzheng, and found that there were several advertisements in Japanese on Xiao Yuanzheng's hand, and after a closer look, they were all real estate advertisements.

Many of these high-level cadres have their eyes above the top. They look gentle and elegant on the surface, but in their hearts they despise ordinary people. When dealing with such people, you have to be the first to win! Li Weidong thought of this, he said. Asked: Mr. Xiao is interested in Japanese real estate?

Director Li still understands Japanese? Xiao Yuanzheng asked.

Understand a little. Li Weidong continued: To be honest, the yen in my hand is earned from dealing with Tianfeng Motors.

Tianfeng Motor, that's a world-class big company. Xiao Yuanzheng said casually.

Li Weidong went on to say: I also know the situation in Japan. If Mr. Xiao wants to invest in Japanese real estate, now is not a good time.

How do you say this? Xiao Yuanzheng asked.

Japan's real estate has already created a bubble, and the bubble will grow bigger and bigger. It's like beating a drum to pass flowers. When the bubble explodes, whoever hands the flowers will lose everything. Li Weidong said.

Xiao Xiao Yuanzheng's eyes showed a hint of joking, obviously feeling that Li Weidong was sensationalizing, he joked: Director Li, your opinion is completely opposite to those economists in Beijing! There are many economists in Beijing. Everyone feels that Japan's economy is doing very well, the stock market is rising, real estate is also increasing in value, and both official and private assets are increasing substantially. At this rate of development, within ten years, Japan is likely to surpass the United States. become the largest economy in the world.

Japan's real estate is increasing in value, and stocks are indeed soaring. Some economists have calculated that if you sell all the real estate in Tokyo, you can buy the entire United States with the money! Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued; Mr. Xiao Do you think one Tokyo is worth the entire United States? This is what I call a bubble, which is the inflation of asset prices.”

But now Japan's economy is indeed thriving. Xiao Yuanzheng said.

The last madness before the collapse. Li Weidong continued: This year, the world's economy has experienced rapid growth, and there will inevitably be a round of inflation. Western countries will raise interest rates and attract funds back to the European and American markets. inevitable thing.

However, the United States may not allow the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates, because once the Bank of Japan raises interest rates, funds will not return to the European and American markets, and Japan will also worry that more international capital will flow into Japan and promote the appreciation of the yen...

Li Weidong began to talk about Japan's economic bubble.

Japan's economic bubble in the 1980s is no stranger to economists in the market outlook. The causes and consequences of the economic bubble and the wrong decisions the Japanese government made in dealing with the economic bubble have long been agreed upon.

However, at the beginning of 1987, most economists did not realize the seriousness of Japan's economic bubble. Even some economists saw the hidden worries of the economic bubble, but they never thought that bursting the economic bubble would directly lead to Japan has been in recession for two decades.

At that time, there were not many people studying economics in China. Even those so-called economists, their research was far behind the world. When economists all over the world were advocating the rise of Japan's economy, the domestic economy Scientists can only follow along with booing.

What's more, in the mid-1980s, the domestic economic pressure was much more serious than Japan's, and the country's ass had not been wiped clean, so there was no time to study foreign countries.

In his previous life, Li Weidong once enrolled in an MBA program at a business school, and also met several female stars and female models who wanted to be a sugar daddy.

At that time, when he was in the MBA course, the professor once talked about the economic bubble in Japan, so Li Weidong is not unfamiliar with the causes and consequences of the economic bubble in Japan, as well as the impact it brings.

Now Li Weidong told Xiao Yuanzheng these contents, which instantly aroused Xiao Yuanzheng's interest.

The children of high-ranking officials in the capital of that era were no strangers to national events and the international situation. After all, they grew up in that kind of environment and had been fascinated by them since childhood. Many 15- or 16-year-old sons and daughters of high-ranking officials are well-informed when it comes to national affairs, and their knowledge and vision are obviously several times higher than ordinary people.

Older senior cadre children, if there is an elder in the family, can also get access to some internal reference materials, such as some local research, some expert analysis, etc., the senior cadre children can also see it.

Xiao Yuanzheng is such a son of a high-ranking cadre. He has seen some economics professors in Beijing and analyzed the Japanese economy. However, the analysis of those professors is completely opposite to what Li Weidong said.

Of course Xiao Yuanzheng believed in the professor, that's why he dismissed Li Weidong. However, as Li Weidong explained slowly, Xiao Yuanzheng felt more and more that what Li Weidong said seemed more convincing!

The judgments of those economists in Beijing, and the various analyses on the internal reference, in Li Weidong's mouth, instantly became a wrong conclusion.

Xiao Yuanzheng really wanted to find some loopholes in Li Weidong's words to overturn Li Weidong's conclusion. However, when Xiao Yuanzheng carefully analyzed Li Weidong's inference, he found that Li Weidong's inference was reasonable and perfectly matched, without the slightest flaw!

What is the origin of this young man? Did he come back from studying abroad? Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help but start to face Li Weidong in front of him.
