Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 873 Behind the brilliance of the island country

   Facing Yang Chen's rhetorical question, Li Guowei had nothing to say.

   As Yang Chen said, a government that does not even have the autonomy of its own national army, how can they have the ability and courage to fight against a superpower.

   Obviously, the more fun the island country dances, the more wealth it shows, the more memorable it is.

   You must know that in the early European and American countries, most of the reason why their industrial revolution was successful depended on plundering by force to promote the process of industrialization.

  The United States was founded late, and most of the land was purchased with money, rather than plundered by pure force.

   However, please don’t forget that from top to bottom in the United States, whether it is political system or living habits, everything in the United States is actually inherited from the United Kingdom.

The blood flowing in Uncle Sam's bones also has the robber gene contained in the British, but it is different from the undisguised military aggression of European countries. The Americans are more sophisticated. They do not use pure force to plunder, but use economic aggression, search wealth of the world.

   Having said that, we must recognize one thing, that is, the economic regression of the island countries cannot be entirely blamed on the fact that several major countries in Europe and the United States forced the yen to appreciate.

   You must know that in this matter, Europe and the United States are not only targeting an island country, but several major powers are also targeting West Germany at the same time.

  The Plaza Accord, the yen and the mark appreciate simultaneously.

   However, after the appreciation of the mark, the West German economy not only did not regress, but also completed the national reunification in the 1990s. In the end, it took only 30 years to pay off all the arrears of World War I.

  Can you tell me, how much damage did West Germany’s performance, you can say, the appreciation of the currency bring to West Germany?

   Obviously, it cannot.

   So, in the final analysis, the ten years of disappearance from the population of the island countries are completely self-inflicted.

  The so-called, do not die.

   As mentioned before, the islanders are an extremely inferior and arrogant nation. At the same time, the islanders also have an almost paranoid gambling gene hidden in their bones.

   Since the end of World War II, the islanders have both hated and feared the United States, the emperor on their head, but that kind of hatred has been deeply buried in the hearts of the islanders, and they dare not show it.

Due to the hatred in their hearts, the islanders have been holding back their anger in their hearts. After the post-war economic recovery, they also achieved the second place in the global economic aggregate. After forgetting their pain, the islanders gradually began to gain self-confidence. swell up.

  The rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen, although the international competitiveness of Japanese companies has declined rapidly, but the international status of the island country is rising rapidly.

  In the 1980s, the island country taught all countries a lesson about 'you can be willful if you have money, and you can do whatever you want if you have money. ’

Due to the rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen, the people of the island country suddenly doubled their money. This made the people of the island country, who had created an economic miracle for 20 years and whose pockets were too big, suddenly felt that they were not bad for money. .

   treats money as dung

  The people of the island countries, who have never really enjoyed the benefits of a strong country, have finally experienced the life that the global people serve them after the appreciation of the yen.

   The wealthy middle-class people, in order to gain more wealth, think more about investing, trading in the stock market, funds, etc. In the 1980s, the stock market of the island country was booming across the board, and the market responded enthusiastically.

Apart from the middle class and the bottom-tier petty bourgeoisie who arrived, they did not treat themselves badly. They enjoyed life and improved their living standards. They became the pursuit of the people of the island countries. They traveled and swept the major luxury goods in Europe and the United States. Favorite thing to do.

  The middle and lower classes have enjoyed the dividends of the appreciation of the yen, which has opened a series of buying, buying and buying models. The upper class of the island country is naturally unambiguous, especially the real estate tycoons of the island country. They also started the pace of investing in real estate around the world.

   Centered on the United States, the real estate tycoons of the island countries are clamoring for the peaceful occupation of the United States.

   The so-called, the harder the pressure in the early stage, the greater the rebound in the later stage.

   The sequelae left over from World War II broke out from top to bottom in the island country in the 1980s.

  The suffocation that the islanders have been suppressed for decades has finally been released in the United States after the appreciation of the yen.

   This is exactly the same as the behavior of the people after the rise of the inland economy in later generations. With the increase of national strength and the prosperity of the people's life, the people of the two countries showed the same situation.

  The only difference between the two

   should be on the national government

  Inland is a truly independent country, with a people's army that dares to confront the world-class US military, and is not restricted by any country in terms of national defense.

  Inland people are rich and go out and pretend to be rich, and they don’t need to be afraid of not revealing their wealth, because behind everyone there is a strong motherland that protects everyone’s life and property.

  In island countries, since the end of World War II, the United States has relaxed restrictions on the bottom society due to the passage of time.

   However, the US has never given up control over the high-level officials of the island country, especially the military.

  The powerful US military stationed in the island country is like a sharp sword hanging over the head. The people at the bottom of the island country can pretend to be rich with the American people, and show that the rich is the uncle.

   But the island government can't

  Without the barrel of a gun, the government of the island country can’t get tough.

  Compared with the suzerain country that used to be next door, the attitude of the United States towards the island country has always been to fight when it is disobedient.

   Regarding the speculation of his own boss, Li Guowei has also worked in the bank for so many years, so naturally he is not a fool.

  What the **** are European and American countries like, Li Guowei sees it more clearly than Yang Chen, after all, he came from that era.

   "I remember that the British Prime Minister Palmerston in the 19th century once said that between countries and countries, there are no permanent friends, but only permanent interests."

  "Although this sentence sounds harsh, it captures the most fundamental problem between countries."

   "The island country is now a piece of meat in the mouth of the United States. Americans need it now, and sooner or later they will talk about this piece of meat."

   "And what we need to do is to occupy a favorable position as soon as possible before the Americans have spoken, so that we can try to get enough benefits from the middle."

   "You also said that the first-tier cities in the island country, especially Tokyo's real estate, have grown rapidly in recent years. In this case, we need to hurry up."

   "Now the government of island countries is vigorously supporting their country's entertainment industry, and animation games are the most important part of it. Those chaebol forces must be very jealous of our game companies now."

   "In that case, let's have an interest exchange with them to see who is the real winner in the end."
