Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1739 Public resentment boils

The introduction of the two guests instantly ignited the people in front of the TV. The market share of various industries in the United States is gradually occupied by Japanese companies. It can be said that the public resentment was very deep at this time, which immediately made many people nervous; of course, mainly executives of Japanese companies in the United States. If the situation continues to escalate, the United States will take action.

Japan is an island country with very limited resources. It has become the world's second largest economy and its commodity exports have made a huge contribution. Among them, the U.S. market is a top priority; it is one that cannot be lost. Japanese businessmen know that crisis public relations must be carried out; otherwise, their products may lose the US market.

At the same time, inside ABC TV station, there was laughter and laughter. People are unemployed, and the economic downturn has little to do with them; there are always companies with good business, and as long as they have ratings, advertisers know how to choose.

Nielsen interviews are not considered important programs, and their ratings have always been low. But today, uncharacteristically, it ranked first in the ratings for the same period. Of course, it was the last time period, and the number of people watching at the beginning was really not that many.

I plan to replay it at noon tomorrow. Many viewers have not heard the explosive recording. At this moment, I have already begun to call the TV station.

As soon as the Nielsen interview ended, the head of Japan's Toyota Corporation in North America called ABC TV.

As one of ABC TV's largest advertisers, it is obviously more appropriate for them to come forward. According to the original plan, ABC TV station will definitely rebroadcast the program tomorrow. By then, more people will know that American companies are being treated unfairly in Japan. If they do this to Japanese companies in the United States, Toyota will definitely bear the brunt.

Toyota now not only represents itself; it also represents all Japanese companies. Just as the Nielsen interview was being broadcast, Toyota's head of North America Masaru Toyoda suddenly received a call from the Japanese Embassy in the United States.

He said that he would stop ABC TV station from reporting on the American Hawkins Company's experience in Japan at all costs.

If the identity is reversed, Americans may come forward in person and call Japanese TV stations; don't play with fire and burn yourself. But this is an American TV station, and the Japanese Embassy dare not contact us directly. First of all, if there is no exchange of interest between the two parties, they will ignore you at all; if you act rashly, you will take the initiative to send news materials to the other party.

The Japanese Embassy in the United States actually interfered with the content broadcast by its American TV station; but it seriously interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. Americans cannot let things go and will only make things worse.

Therefore, companies can only be asked to come forward, and Toyota is naturally the best candidate.

After receiving the call from Toyota Yaji, ABC TV President Gervin Mathieu certainly understood what the other party meant. I was very unhappy because the Japanese came to advertise; they were welcome and could broadcast any news. It was an internal matter of the TV station and had nothing to do with the Japanese.

Gervin Matthew didn't waste any time and said directly: "President Toyota, ABC TV must be responsible to the audience. We only report the most authentic news and do not deliberately target anyone."

If it were normal, Toyota Yaji would only offer good words and give some benefits; perhaps ABC TV station would also restrain itself. No one wants to offend the donor, let alone the money. But as luck would have it, the head of Toyota North America had a lot of fun today and drank a lot. Although I'm not drunk, I'm definitely a little drunk; I naturally don't pay that much attention when I speak.

Toyota Yaji said very domineeringly: "President Matthew, do you know who you are talking to! ABC TV station must be having a hard time. If Japanese manufacturers do not advertise, you may not even be able to pay wages next year. I was very polite when I spoke to you just now, so don't be shameless; don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."

ABC executives took the initiative to work overtime tonight. They all want to know how the public reacts and what the specific ratings are. The topic is still somewhat sensitive, and they are worried about taking responsibility.

After receiving a call from Toyota Yaji, I chose to turn on the hands-free mode to avoid suspicion. Just to let everyone know that he has no private transactions with Japanese companies.

At this moment, hearing that the Japanese were so arrogant made ABC executives extremely angry. The Toyota Yaji humiliated not only Gervin Mathieu, but also the ABC television station, which could even be magnified to the entire United States.

Gervin Matthew: "Mr. Toyota, you are talking to the president of ABC TV station in the United States; not your employees. If this is the attitude, then I'm sorry, there is no need to continue the conversation. As for Toyota, or Japanese companies It is your freedom whether you choose to cooperate with ABC TV station. The United States is a free business society, this is not Japan."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly without giving the other party a chance to explain; there was no need to continue the conversation, and maybe the crazy Japanese would say even more unacceptable things. He is also a person who cares about face and does not want to be outnumbered in front of his subordinates.

At this time, a director of ABC TV station said: "Who gave the Japanese such courage? Previously, they deliberately targeted American companies and asked Hawkins Fund executives to apologize. Now they directly called ABC TV station and ordered us not to allow them to apologize. Report relevant news.”

"I'm a little confused now. Does the United States have troops stationed in Japan? Or does Japan have troops stationed in the United States?"

"Toyoda Yaji dares to say this, and it is clear that he does not take ABC TV station seriously. In the eyes of the Japanese, he is paying us advertising fees and has the right to ask us to do anything."

"ABC has always only earned the profits it deserves, and does not have to kowtow to anyone; this is a matter of principle. I don't know what you think."

The Japanese are already knocking on the door, so how can we watch? How dare you threaten a TV station? I wonder if even the White House dares not offend the media easily. The Japanese really think they can cover the sky with one hand, but they think too highly of themselves.

Gervin Matthew: "ABC TV has the right to let the people know more truth; it must give the Japanese some color."

"Send all reporters to interview more heads of American companies affected by Japanese companies. At the same time, keep an eye on members of Congress. It's time for them to take action."

"ABC TV station opened a professional channel to continue reporting on this matter."

The interview is easy to understand, but is it necessary to open a professional channel? It's just an American company being treated unfairly, and it's not like a global crisis has occurred.

However, the president has already expressed his stance, and he has indeed made the ABC executives feel ashamed just now. It is not unacceptable to open a professional channel.

The Japanese ambassador to the United States did not know that his call just now not only had no effect, but even completely offended ABC TV station. Now there is no room for relaxation, but hope has become very slim.

ABC TV reporters took action overnight and had to perform well in front of the president. Everyone is watching at this moment, so you can’t fall behind other colleagues.

In recent years, many American companies have been affected by Japanese companies, and of course a large part of them are due to the Black Cloud Group. But at the moment, I can't care about that much. I can put all the blame on the Japanese. Who made them so arrogant?

It is to make it clear to Japan that there will be a heavy price to pay for offending the Americans.

The heads of American companies who have been suppressed by Japan for a long time seem to have found a backbone. The reporter added that the business was very good before, since the Japanese came over; because of the low prices, customers have not placed orders for a long time.

The dumping of Japanese goods in the United States, if it is not stopped or relevant laws are introduced, the U.S. manufacturing industry will cease to exist.

The U.S. Congress is the highest legislative body in the United States, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members of both chambers are directly elected by voters in each state. There are 2 senators from each state, a total of 100, with a 6-year term and 1/3 re-election every two years. A total of 435 members of the House of Representatives are elected according to the population proportion of each state. They serve a two-year term and all are re-elected at the end of the term. Members of both houses can be re-elected for any term. Members of the Senate and House of Representatives are full-time and may not hold government positions concurrently.

After the bill is passed by both houses, it is handed over to the president for signature; if the president does not veto it, or if it is vetoed but is re-passed by 2/3 of the members of both houses, it will officially become a law. The House of Representatives and the Senate work under the chairmanship of their respective speakers. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is elected by the General Assembly, and the Vice President is the current Speaker of the Senate. Both houses have many committees, as well as joint committees composed of members of both houses. Most of the work of Congress is carried out in various committees. The main and most obvious task of the U.S. Congress is to legislate and formulate laws that affect every American. Legislation often requires decisions on controversial issues, such as health insurance reform, war, trade exchange rates, etc. The bill goes through a series of It can become law only after a review process.

Thomson-Wu is a member of the U.S. Congress. Just by his name, you can tell that he has a Chinese background. But at this time, his English is definitely much better than Chinese. It has been nearly a hundred years since my great-grandfather came to the United States. As for why he can become a member of the House of Representatives, it is not only necessary to unite ethnic minorities; the main reason is that the Wu family has chosen to marry white people since the second generation.

Even Thomson Wu is no exception. His wife is of pure Germanic descent. My father-in-law has a very good background, otherwise he would not have become a member of the House of Representatives at such a young age.

Thomson Wu, who is not yet 40 years old at this time, can definitely be regarded as a young talent.

After reading the ABC TV report, I feel that this is a very good opportunity; it is also an opportunity to increase influence. If you make good use of it, your dreams may come true.

Although there is a nominal chance to become president, it is also clear that it is almost impossible. But as governor, there is still hope. The premise is to gain the trust of voters, or to gain more support.

At present, the American people hate the Japanese very much, and this time they may offend the entire Wall Street; they can definitely take advantage of it.

Therefore, when an ABC TV reporter interviewed Thomson-Wu, he asked him what he thought about the current Japanese companies occupying the US market and going deep into various fields; and whether there were issues such as double standards! The congressman's answer made the TV reporter overjoyed.

Thomson-Wu said that if the United States wants to continue to maintain its status as a great power, it must control core areas in its own hands. There is nothing wrong with capital freedom, but it also depends on the specific situation.

Japanese companies can receive huge subsidies when exporting, so the increased tariffs in the United States will not have much impact on them, at least it will not be reflected in prices.

In addition, Japanese products themselves do not pay special attention to quality. Of course, this does not mean that they are not good. Japanese cars are indeed economical and durable, but they do not pay special attention to safety.

For example, where Japanese cars can use plastic, they will never use steel. Once a car accident occurs, the safety of the vehicle occupants is difficult to guarantee. Saving fuel is important, but compared with lives, people need to know how to choose!

When the reporter asked, would it be suggested to sanction some Japanese companies during the meeting?

Thomas-Wu said that he would first consider the survival and happiness of American companies and people; as for other issues, they are not that important.

This is just the beginning, there are many more members of Congress like Thomson-Wu. They all said that some Japanese companies should be sanctioned, otherwise the future of the United States will be extremely dangerous.

As for why it didn’t happen before, the main reason is to follow the principles of commercial freedom and fairness. Now it is the Japanese who are causing trouble, and the United States must fight back. If you cannot do this, you will lose the trust of the people. It also proves that the top management is incompetent or has other shady secrets.

It can be said that the White House has been involved, which gave Reagan a very headache.

No one expected that Americans would react so violently. Mr. Bao was also a little confused. It was just a tape; was it so powerful?

In fact, the tape is just a trigger. Americans have deep resentment against Japan; after all, the streets are full of Japanese goods, and luxury real estate basically belongs to the Japanese.

I can’t say that I hate the rich in my heart, but at least I feel very unbalanced. As a defeated country, Japan is also the younger brother of the United States. Why should Japan live a happier life than the Americans?

Of course, people instinctively ignore at this moment the hard work of the Japanese since the end of World War II.

It's normal for long-held grievances to be suddenly ignited and explode in an instant. If you don't do anything, you can take advantage of this opportunity to add fire to the relationship between Japan and the United States. I don't believe that Reagan can sit still. At this time, Mr. Bao already had a new plan in mind. He believed that many companies in Japan would be stripped of their skins even if they did not die.

Now is not the time for mercy, but for who can win the future. In previous lives, Japanese companies seemed to have suffered heavy losses at this stage, but this was more of an appearance. Many companies have transformed into producing high-end raw materials and basic accessories; overall sales have not been affected much; they have just retreated from the front desk to the background.

It has a bad reputation, but it has also succeeded in diverting American attention; for a long time, it did not focus on Japanese companies. Bao Zixuan doesn't want to take advantage of them just like this. After so many years of development; Heiyun's fangs are sharp enough. While harvesting the Japanese stock market, he must also package his technology and talents.

Although it is difficult to implement, it is not impossible.
