Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 913 Newport

  The nature of the islanders has always been that the villain will be mad when he is successful.

   Since the high-speed economic growth of the island country for 20 or 30 years in a row, and the GDP has been continuously drawn closer to the United States, the top-down fear that the islanders used to have in the United States has begun to gradually decrease.

   Well, the scar forgets the pain

   If you have milk, you are a mother, and if you have money, you are a father.

The islanders never thought that the reason why they recovered so quickly after the war, and the reason why they have created rapid economic growth for 20 or 30 years in a row, is because of the support of the Americans, and because of the Americans in the Korean War and Vietnam. During the war, a large number of military orders were given to the island countries, so that their manufacturing industry rose rapidly.

  Buy short the United States, the voice of peaceful occupation of the United States.

  It is not only after the Plaza Accord and the appreciation of the yen that the voices emerged. Since the rise of the island country's manufacturing industry, the island country's enterprises have competed with American companies in the global market.

  The ones who have passed have to fight, and those who have not been able to fight have to fight even more.

After the Plaza Accord, the island nation’s asset bubble, the power behind shorting the island nation’s currency market, is none other than a group of financial institutions on Wall Street in the United States. They lead the global financial speculators and wipe out the social wealth accumulated by the entire island nation for decades. null.

   Throughout the modern economic history of the island country, since World War II, the island country’s rapid economic growth for 20 to 30 years, the oil crisis in the middle, and the economic crisis have not slowed down the island country’s economy.

   Up to the Plaza Accord, Japan's export competitiveness began to be severely hit due to the appreciation of the yen, and then the bubble economy was burst, and the island country fell into economic stagnation for two decades.

   A large part of the economic circle of the island country in later generations believes that the Plaza Accord is a shocking conspiracy laid out by the Americans in order to bring down the Japanese economy.

   The reason is that since the Plaza Accord, the economic GDP of the US and Japan has been several times different, and the GDP has widened significantly. Anyone who changes it feels abnormal.

  The appreciation of the yen, Yang Chen laid out two years in advance, and then he will soon be able to reap the rich fruits. After the global capital continues to flock to the island country due to the substantial appreciation of the yen, he can take advantage of the situation to withdraw.

   With global capital paying for him, he can leave at a high price

  If several major consortiums in the island country are willing to eat the things they sold to him before, then the economy of the island country will probably be hit more severely than in the previous life when the economy bubbles.

   Several major consortiums in the island countries of later generations, taking advantage of the appreciation of the yen, are buying and buying all over the world, and their overseas net assets are almost blown away at the beginning of the 21st century.

   The core of the overseas assets of the island countries is actually in the hands of consortia like Sumitomo. As long as they lose more, their overseas assets will also shrink when the bubble economy of the island countries collapses.

   In addition to the appreciation of the yen, he can make a lot of money, and after a few years, when Wall Street financial institutions short the currency of the island country, he can also make another profit.

  Prince Charles now earns small money with him, maximizes the profit of small money, and puts the British royal family in the front. No matter how this transaction is calculated, it is very cost-effective.

  If Prince Charles knew what Yang Chen was thinking at this time, he would probably scold him. Of course, what he scolded was not that Yang Chen was using the sign of the British royal family, but that Yang Chen looked down on the money he earned.

  This time the Plaza Accord, the appreciation of the yen, in just a few days, calculated on the books alone, it has almost caught up with the money Yang Chen made for Prince Charles in the Falklands War.

  This is definitely not a small sum of money for Prince Charles.

Hearing Yang Chen talk about the appreciation of the yen, this is just the beginning. Prince Charles thought of the data he had discussed with several British economists before. Just as Yang Chen thought, there is still a lot of room for the appreciation of the yen. of uncertainty.

This uncertainty mainly comes from the United States, as well as the direction of global capital, the free economy pursued by Europe and the United States. Since modern times, island countries have been trying their best to get rid of the identity of Asian countries, and they are pursuing a free economy. .

   In a free economy, the capital market is difficult to control. Since the appreciation of the yen is already doomed, there will not be much change.

   As for even how much, that is a variable.

If there is still a lot of room for the appreciation of the yen, Prince Charles naturally doesn’t mind following Yang Chen to continue to make more money. As for Yang Chen’s misjudgment, the space for the appreciation of the yen is controlled by the island government, then they can’t lose, at most That is, make less money.

   Aside from the appreciation of the yen, Prince Charles pretended to be casual and asked, "Yang, I heard that you spent two years in Australia building a new Darwin port?"

   "You are quite well informed." Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at Prince Charles, thinking that the attention of the British royal family to him was really hard work.

   After thinking about it, Yang Chen explained: "At the beginning of the month, Xingang has officially started its navigation. It's not a big deal, so I didn't inform the prince."

   Hearing Yang Chen's explanation, Prince Charles smiled and exposed Yang Chen's lie.

  To say that in the entire Northern Territory, the location of Darwin Port is definitely the best. Yang Chen’s rebuilding of a port is tantamount to superfluous.

   However, from Yang Chen's series of plans in the Northern Territory, Prince Charles also knew what the other party was taking into account.

  Near Darwin Port, not only are Australian troops stationed, but also US military bases. If a new port is not built, import and export will be in the hands of others.

   Yang Chen had always wanted to get the ownership of Darwin Port, but the Australian government was unwilling and only agreed to Yang Chen's investment to expand the construction of Darwin Port.

   Faced with the uncontrollable Darwin Port, Yang Chen had no choice but to choose to build a new port near a large mine near the sea. The excuse was directly based on the convenience of transportation.

   The investment ratio of building a port is not proportional to building a railway that is not too long. Not only was the Australian government opposed, but many local officials in the Northern Territory were also opposed.

The reason why    finally passed was the help of the British government in secret.

   In the 21st century, the former colonies of the United Kingdom still have a large number of horses who have their hearts on the United Kingdom, not to mention this period, especially in the Australian immigrants, many of them are British descendants.

  As the influence of the UK in the international position is waning, Australia has begun to move closer to the US and embrace the American thighs. In many cases, the words of the Americans are more effective than the words of the British government.

For the changes in the Australian government, the United Kingdom naturally cannot sit idly by. Now Yang Chen is trying his best to move closer to the United Kingdom, and he is fighting with the British royal family. The rapid development of the Northern Territory is in the eyes of people who care about it. It is only a matter of time before Australia is a state, so the influence of the Northern Territory will be reflected in time.

   The less restrictions Yang Chen is subject to in the Northern Territory, the greater his influence in the Northern Territory in the future, which in turn can play a certain role in Australia's decision-making.
