Although Catherine did not know the details of the matter, it was only because Catherine did not investigate. After Catherine specifically inquired about it, she seemed to understand.

"In other words, the United States and the Soviet Union are both preparing to join the military and reduce their armies by more than 15%. At the same time, they are pulling other countries to follow them...?"

Catherine finally understood what was going on.

Although it is said to be disarmament, it is obvious that both the United States and the Soviet Union want to increase their confidence and prove that they are not a foreign power but a domestic cadre.

The Soviet Union seemed ready to illustrate this point through a display of military might.

As for the United States, it seems that it is preparing to make money from Japan...

"This situation is really strange..."

It's just a reduction of the military. Is that all?

"The tempered carbon nanotube fiber material is indeed very good, but...this thing cannot be produced on a large scale in the short term..."

According to the current dressing speed, if the US military can complete the equipment replacement of elite troops within 20 years, it will be extremely fast.

As for now? Ha, just kidding.

"Economic problems? That's not right. I feel that the current situation is pretty good..."

Strictly speaking, the current social development is indeed very good, great, and very good.

But that's all.

"If... I vigorously promote the Internet now, maybe there will be another trend..."

The Internet is a ferocious beast and a terrifying monster. But on the other hand, as long as the Internet can be fully promoted, the future will be completely different.

Although Catherine is promoting it now, she has not let go.

The copyright of the Internet is almost entirely in Catherine's hands.

From web pages to Weibo to QQ and online games, on the other hand, the Internet can even be said to be Catherine’s personal thing!

but……

What if Catherine completely turned the Internet upside down now?

Obviously, there will be a crazy, leap-forward prosperity similar to the one in the United States in the 1990s!

"Video games, e-commerce, electronic office... In short, it will definitely cause a huge sensation..."

Now, Catherine holds the reins of the Internet in her hands.

But if one day, this rein is torn off, I believe a big treasure will appear in front of everyone.

This is a huge treasure worth hundreds of billions, trillions or even countless!

Of course, it’s not like no one said that Catherine was running a trust or something.

But don't panic Catherine - there's someone above us!

When it comes to the temptation of becoming younger, even if she is a shameless person, there are still people who will help Catherine take advantage of it.

However, Catherine herself did not want to hold on any longer.

The market here is indeed huge, but it is impossible for one person to swallow it up. Instead of doing this, it is better to promote the normal development of the Internet.

"When they sign a disarmament agreement, I will let go of the Internet..."

This is what Catherine realized at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that current storage devices are underdeveloped, Catherine would even want to create a virtual online game, which might be more interesting...

"Kate, your phone number is Mr. Soros."

Elsa discovered that Catherine had returned to Eden, so she shouted directly to Catherine.

Catherine did not pick up the phone. Instead, she directly connected to the other party through the smart computer.

"This is Mr. Edson Soros. It's really interesting to call at this time."

Catherine responded directly to the other party with her brain, which felt good.

"Ms. Edson, I wonder if you have noticed the recent news?"

Soros's voice is full of greed and temptation.

But Catherine already knew what the other party was going to say.

"I'll give you 50 billion, all of which will be used to speculate on Japanese yen."

"Ahem..."

Soros over there has been choked by Catherine.

Soros has a keen sense of smell. Of course, Soros will not be unaware of anything happening in Japan.

But Catherine said that she would give him 50 billion in one breath, which really surprised Soros.

This is 50 billion in 1981!

"50 billion, give me all the money to speculate on the Japanese yen. If an agreement is signed between the United States and Japan, then the appreciation of the Japanese yen will be at least doubled. I don't want more, until they increase it by about two-thirds, and then sell it."

That’s it.”

"protocol?"

Soros has never heard of this.

Information is a very important way for financiers to make money.

Soros is so proud because of his access to information.

If the information is lost, the money Soros can earn will be at least half less.

But Catherine obviously has more information than the other party.

——For Catherine, this is probably the last possible difference from the original history.

This is the "Plaza Accord".

In the original history, in 1985, Japan replaced the United States as the world's largest creditor country, and Japanese-made products flooded the world. The crazy expansion of Japanese capital made Americans exclaim, "Japan will peacefully occupy the United States!"

Many large manufacturing companies and members of Congress in the United States began to become restless. They lobbied the U.S. government and strongly requested the then-Reagan administration to intervene in the foreign exchange market and devalue the U.S. dollar in order to save the increasingly depressed U.S. manufacturing industry. Many economists also

He also joined the team lobbying the government to change its stance on a strong dollar.

After the signing of the "Plaza Accord", the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and sell a large amount of U.S. dollars in the international foreign exchange market, which then formed a selling frenzy among market investors, leading to a continued substantial depreciation of the U.S. dollar. In September 1985

In March, the U.S. dollar fluctuated around 250 yen per U.S. dollar. In less than three months after the signing of the agreement, the U.S. dollar quickly fell to around 200 yen per U.S. dollar, a drop of 20%.

After that, the U.S. authorities represented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Baker and financial experts represented by Frederic Bergsten, Director of the American Institute of International Economics, continued to verbally intervene in the U.S. dollar, expressing that the U.S. dollar exchange rate at that time

The level is still high and there is still room for decline. Under the hint of the tough attitude of the U.S. government, the U.S. dollar continued to fall sharply against the yen, reaching as low as 120 yen per U.S. dollar. In less than three years, the U.S. dollar has fallen sharply against the yen.

The Japanese yen has depreciated by 50%, which means that the Japanese yen has doubled in value against the US dollar.

And now, Japan has already vaguely seen this trend.

The two oil crises were opportunities for Japan.

In this world, the Red Army has been recognized by many Arabs. Because of this, although Japan is on the blockade, Japan has received sufficient supplies during the two oil crises, and their industry has not stopped.

, on the contrary, it has become more prosperous than in history.

In addition, the Iran-Iraq war broke out in advance, and the United States and the Soviet Union were tired of responding. Japan took the opportunity to develop rapidly, and the original gap of four years in history disappeared.

It is for this reason that Americans are now also eyeing Japan.

Japan became the world's largest creditor country in 1980, five years earlier than in history.

Of course, this is also related to Reagan’s own self-destructive economic policy...

"Plaza Accord", this famous thing, Catherine will never forget.

Unless Japan suddenly declines in this world, or the United States suddenly finds a new gold mine, the "Plaza Accord" or something similar will inevitably reappear.

The Plaza Accord is also an excellent environment for speculation.

In the 10 years since the signing of the "Plaza Accord", the value of the Japanese yen has risen by an average of more than 5% per year, which is tantamount to providing international capital with a guaranteed profit when investing in the Japanese stock market and real estate market. In the nearly five years since the "Plaza Accord"

, the stock price increased by 30% every year, and the land price increased by 15% every year, while the annual growth rate of Japan's nominal GDP during the same period was only about 5%.

The "Plaza Accord" had an immeasurable impact on the Japanese economy. Because, after the Plaza Accord, the yen appreciated significantly, which had a considerable impact on Japan's export-led industries. In order to achieve the purpose of economic growth, Japan

The government uses loose monetary policies such as lowering interest rates to maintain the prosperity of the domestic economy.

Historically, Japan's benchmark interest rate has dropped significantly since 1986, which caused a large amount of domestic surplus funds to be invested in non-production tools such as the stock market and real estate, thus forming the famous Japanese bubble economy in the 1990s.

Until Catherine came into this world, it can be said that Japan had not taken a breath.

50 billion, Catherine doesn’t want more. As long as she can earn another 30 billion, Catherine will be satisfied.

By that time, Catherine's cash holdings will reach 110 billion. The cash alone will be a quarter of the size of Rockefeller's today.

With funds, this means that Catherine will have a lot of room for maneuver in the future.

And there are many things that Catherine can do next.

Well... wouldn't it be interesting to develop something that is beyond ordinary people's expectations?

"Okay, that's it. For specific things, just give me a plan."

"Okay, Miss Edson."

The other party just hung up.

Catherine stood up with a relaxed expression.

"Well, there is no need to worry about the United States. Our main purpose now is to see what the Soviets want to do... Well, speaking of it, Afghanistan in history seems to have been supported by the United Kingdom, the United States, France and China.

…”

Mao Xiong must have used his left hand when opening the dungeon...

So, if it were Andropov, would he also follow the example of Brezhnev in history and open the copy with his left hand?

"Or is it really just a simple show of muscles?"

It seems that all we can do is wait and see what happens?
