Chapter 1029

With the rise of the Japanese economy, the US trade deficit with Japan has continued to expand in recent years.

The Japanese waved a lot of banknotes and kept buying American companies and buying houses and land in the United States.

There are even rumors that the Japanese have already bought half of the United States.

With the influx of Japanese machinery manufacturing and electronic products into the United States, capital rushed into the United States and annexed American companies, which caused considerable impact on traditional American industries. Numerous factories went bankrupt and workers were unemployed.

Under such circumstances, anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States has also risen.

Even American politicians can easily be elected as long as they scold Japan desperately and shout slogans against Japanese goods when they are running for elections. The trade deficit between the United States and Japan continues to increase, and finally evolved from a trade friction into a trade war.

At times like this, everyone in the Japanese government knows what happened.

“Last year Toshiba’s US trade volume reached 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, and the entire Mitsui Group’s trade volume exceeded 5 billion U.S. dollars…” said the head of Mitsui Group quietly.

Toshiba is the company with the largest export volume from Japan to the United States.

From electronic products to mechanical products, Toshiba’s products cover a wide range of fields.

It just so happened to give the Americans an excuse.

“Now Americans don’t just want fines! They want to use this opportunity to politically resolve the trade deficit with our country!” The head of Toshiba also pointed out the cause of the Americans.

Americans are too shameless.

Their products are not competitive and cannot survive in the market, so they are blamed as a result.

“Now it’s not about the impact of the trade deficit, but the U.S. government is forcing us to hand it over!” Takeshita Nominee roared.

“People don’t know where they are going. You have to ask the Americans! Maybe the Americans have controlled them, and they are forcing us to hand them over!” The person in charge of Toshiba is also on fire.

The prime minister is not hard at all.

Once Toshiba is cleaned up by the US government, they will then take action on other domestic manufacturing companies.

Previously, the Japanese government was forced to sign the Plaza Agreement to allow the world to bear American debts through exchange rate changes.

“What is your attitude?” Takeshita was also on fire. “Do you think the government is willing to see this happen?”

He felt that this first was quite aggrieved.

Yasuhiro Nakasone was constantly accused of taking bribes and retiring in a rush of peachy incidents. He chose Takeshita, who is good at manipulating power, as his successor. In May 1987, when Takeshita was the secretary of the Liberal Democratic Party, he held a political reception. By selling tickets to raise conference fees, he received 2 billion yen in sums at once, which fully demonstrated his economic and political strength.

It’s just that no one knew that the money was bribed by Takeshita.

The Riculut incident that caused Takeshita Teng to be overwhelmed has not yet erupted.

Takeshita Deng has a wealth of domestic methods, but he is very helpless with the behavior of American dad’s gadfly.

“Americans lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market crash two months ago, and they want to divert their attention now.”

“That’s not their consortium? Now their stock market has recovered, but what about our stock market?” The head of Mitsui said coldly.

Others will be afraid of Takeshita, they are not.

The strength of the Mitsui Group in Japan is strong enough.

Faced with their attitude, he couldn’t get angry.

In the United States, President Reagan is listening to Secretary of the Treasury Baker’s report, “In this way, our trade deficit is still expanding, and the trade deficit with Japan is growing the most rapidly…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Last year, the United States had the largest trade deficit with Japan.

Especially Japanese cars and electronic products are very popular almost all over the world.

“Does our domestic companies have no way to solve their problems and improve their competitiveness?” Reagan was angry.

Baker shook his head, “Our production cost is higher than Japan…”

It is not only a problem of production costs, but more importantly, companies based in the United States, hoping to obtain higher profits.

The most affected companies are General Motors, etc., and these companies are the main military contractors of the US Department of Defense, behind which are the consortia that control the lifeline of the US economy.

“Various industry associations hope that the government will come up with policies to support domestically produced products to avoid the entry of cheap Japanese products into the country, which will cause more companies to go bankrupt and more workers to lose their jobs…” Baker said.

What can Reagan say about such a thing?

Global economic integration was proposed by the United States, and it was originally intended to turn Europe into a supporting package for the United States.

Fortunately now, as a protective umbrella for the little devil, the American economy has been stabbed by the little devil under their protection in a huge hole.

“Your Excellency, we can take this opportunity to impose sanctions on Toshiba Group and other related companies on the grounds of violating the Batumi embargo on the equipment and foundations provided to socialist countries…” After Baker left, President Reagan called himself The think tank, hopes to have countermeasures.

If competition is fair, everyone knows that American domestic companies can compete with Japanese companies except in some high-tech fields.

The cost of ordinary consumer electronics in the United States is much higher than that of the little devil.

In the United States, even many military units are willing to choose equipment from Japan, which has good technical performance, low price, and more importantly, it is durable and does not have harsh environmental requirements.

“Using the Toshiba incident?” Reagan frowned.

As the president of a superpower in the world, he is still a little unwilling to do such a thing, which is too unnatural.

“Your Excellency, in the face of national interests, everything can give way. For their benefit, the Japanese are only exporting top strategic processing equipment to our enemies for their own profit, only for tens of millions of dollars. According to estimates, they have to reopen their relationship with the Soviet Union. The gap between people, to maintain our leading edge, the government must invest 200-30 billion U.S. dollars in nuclear submarine technology…”

Another consultant said.

“These little devils are greedy for petty gains, but they bring such a big hidden danger to our national security. Caesarean section is not enough to apologize! These losses must be borne by Japan! Without our protection, they would never develop!”

Another consultant gritted his teeth.

Because of the protection of the United States, Japan was able to develop rapidly after the war.

Even, in order to allow the Japanese government to have development funds, under the intervention of the U.S. government, the Japanese government did not even make any compensation for the grave disaster caused by their aggression against China. Even many Class A war criminals escaped punishment by the International Court of Justice… …

The purpose of the United States’ support for Japan is to encircle China and prevent the Soviet Union from attacking the United States from the Pacific.

It turned out not to be bad. Japan used the support of the United States to develop rapidly based on the European and American markets. In just a few decades, it developed into the second largest economy after the United States!

“Supporting Japan is for the national interests of the United States. These bastards do not want to repay their favors, but harm us and must be severely punished!”

Almost all consultants felt that the Japanese must be severely punished.

As the leader of the capitalist world, the United States takes the elimination of socialism as their mission.

It turned out to be good. Under the protection of the United States, the little devils who don’t even need to worry about national defense, under the protection of the United States, and the support of all kinds, actually cheated the American father.

It is tolerable, which is unbearable.

“If we do not deal with it seriously, more and more Japanese companies will continue to provide China and the Soviet Union with banned technology and strategic equipment for money… One Soviet Union has made us unable to deal with it, and then a powerful China… to At that time, European countries will be out of our control! Now the European Community is becoming more and more active…”

After World War II, Europe had to rely on the United States across the Atlantic as its backing because of the threat of the Soviet Union.

During World War II, it was not supported by the United States, and Europe was killed by Hitler a long time ago.

As the control of the United States deepened, the European economy was disintegrated by the United States and could only become a vassal of the United States.

These countries are naturally unconvinced and are constantly making troubles.

Just as the French provided nuclear technology to Iraq.

The United States can’t clean up France. If even the little Japan under their control can’t clean up, how can you be the big brother in the future?

“Not only must Toshiba be fined 15 billion U.S. dollars according to the original plan, but they must also increase their fines on China’s export of prohibited equipment, with a fine of 20 billion U.S. dollars to make up for the technological investment we need to invest in maintaining the advantages of the Soviet Union ; At the same time, a 200% tariff must be imposed on all Toshiba products imported, stop importing any Toshiba products for 5 years, close all Toshiba factories in the United States, and drive Toshiba completely out of the United States…”

“Toshiba has sold a lot of products in our country,” someone said worriedly.

When Toshiba is driven out, its domestic counterparts will have a larger market.

In this way, the unemployment rate can also be effectively controlled, and at the same time the trade deficit with Japan can be reduced.

“Let Toshiba provide permanent free after-sales service to all the products they sold in the United States…” the consultant who initially proposed sanctions against Toshiba said calmly.

Everyone took a deep breath.

In this way, Toshiba has only one way to go bankrupt.

However, Toshiba is bankrupt, and US capital can buy Toshiba.

Don’t they like buying American companies?

Why can’t the United States acquire bankrupt Japanese companies?



“Not only Toshiba, it must conduct a comprehensive investigation. All Japanese companies that provide socialist countries with violating Batumi regulations, as long as they provide socialist prohibited equipment and technology, must comprehensively sanction these bold Japanese companies…” Some consultants felt that It is not enough to just pack Toshiba.

After all, the Japanese are not only Toshiba, which has gained a huge market share in the United States.
