Chapter 529: Draining the Last Drop of Blood
Chapter 529: Squeezing the Last Drop of Blood
Two days later, Yin Zhaotang took the documents and invited Sir Yu to have tea, explaining: "Special period, special treatment, it won't work after the return."
"Draw up a list of names and the branch will conduct an assessment first. If suitable, they will be officially admitted after one year. The minimum standard is to wear a flower on the shoulder."
"In addition, the Zhi Gong Committee has decided to establish a branch of the Police Force, which will be affiliated with the Hong Kong Island branch. You will be the person in charge. If you have time in the evening, go to the Chung Yi Building to take the oath."
Yu Shaoze looked at the document, smiling broadly, already very satisfied: "Thank you very much, Commissioner."
"The police branch has guns and people. At the end of the year, we will definitely elect you as an alternate member at the committee meeting. You should still call me Ah Tang. Calling me committee member all the time is too formal."
"However, you should be more cautious in doing things. When recruiting members, remember to do it in secret and don't give the foreigners any handle. I don't want there to be an underground organization destroyed by the foreigners in 85." Yin Zhaotang joked.
Yu Shaoze nodded slightly and said jokingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Yin. Unless the foreigners don't want to collect the remaining 12 years of 'taxes', otherwise, when our police force conducts public activities, the foreigners will have to pretend to be blind."
The Hong Kong Police Branch is a subordinate organization of the Hong Kong Branch, but apart from political tasks and program requirements, Yin Zhaotang has no right to interfere in specific affairs.
Like local governments, they cannot interfere in the railway, oil, and power systems.
Yu Shaoze earned a status for his brothers and also earned an extra title for himself, so of course he was happy.
"Hahaha, Sir Yu is a brave one!" Yin Zhaotang gave a thumbs up and smiled brightly.
Yu Shaoze lifted up his suit sleeves, looked down at his watch, and said with a smile, "I'm leaving first. Remember to call about the number."
Watching Sir Yu get up and leave in a hurry, Yin Zhaotang also raised his watch in the restaurant, stared at the calendar on the dial, and said, "It's almost time."
Although, on the street, Lao Zhong had sent his brothers in, under the banner of borrowing troops, to help the people of Dapu Niu defend the place, so that Dapu Niu could spare some strength to sweep Ye Suping's territory.
However, they had not yet deployed heavy troops because they were actually waiting for a date that would cause the "boycott coalition" to collapse without a fight, allowing Lao Zhong to easily wipe them out - the Plaza Accord!
Since the boycott coalition is supported by Ye Suping's money from the Japanese stock market, when the Japanese stock market crashes, there will be chaos inside without Lao Zhong having to step in.
Just over a month, in the blink of an eye, it’s here, isn’t it?
As for weakening the Number Gang, it was secondary. In this civil war, the weakening of the Number Gang was inevitable. He led the Tai Po Cows and could make the Number Gang strong or weak as he pleased.
In the current situation, there is no need to weaken the Number Gang. It is nothing more than an excuse to shut up Yu Shaoze. You can't say that he has someone in the US government and even has a copy of the terms of the Plaza Accord.
On the way back to the building to work, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the five major countries, namely the United States, Japan, Britain, France and Germany, gathered at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Under the spotlight of the media, the politicians, dressed in fine clothes and well-mannered, picked up their pens to sign the "Agreement on Joint Intervention in Foreign Exchange". Since the meeting was held at the Plaza Hotel, it was called the "Plaza Accord" by the people. On the second day, the "Plaza Accord" swept the financial world like a storm, and the central banks of the five countries took strong action and sold US dollars in the market. The foreign exchange market was shaken, the US dollar depreciated sharply, and correspondingly, the currencies of the five countries rose.
Yin Zhaotang witnessed history and sighed in his heart: "The Japanese devils are so cruel."
Can't the political elites in Japan see that the Plaza Accord was a trap set by the Americans?
He doesn't believe it!
Because the political figures in Japan are all from aristocratic families, and they have been influenced by the world since childhood and fought their way to the top. It is certain that the Plaza Accord, which advocates the restoration of the trade deficit, solving the dollar deficit, ensuring the safety of the US consumer market, and distributing profits to manufacturing countries, is actually a sugar-coated bullet.
The "American consumer market" lured them in, and then through the devaluation of the US currency, they got rid of their debts and swallowed up the industrial achievements of Japan, Britain, France and Germany after World War II.
First of all, we must make it clear that debts will not disappear. If the US debts are gone, other countries will have to pay them back. It is nothing more than that the Japanese have been beaten to death and have to kneel down to help the US pay off its debts.
A son repays his father's debt.
To some extent, it's only natural.
However, after World War II, the industrial achievements accumulated by the blood and sweat of the Japanese people will be sold to the United States by politicians. They will become the planes and yachts of American financial tycoons, oil tycoons, and real estate bosses, and the cars, steaks, and single-family villas of American workers.
The United States succeeded once with this method, and it became addicted. The four trillion yuan and the trade Z are all the same routine. China also took a wave, but it really couldn't take the second wave. Of course, the Plaza Accord is not all poison. For example, West Germany relied on "controlling housing prices", "developing industry", and "raising interest rates" to use the Plaza Accord to enter the US market and boost its economy.
But the size of the U.S. consumer market is limited, and if someone eats, someone has to vomit.
The United States signed an agreement with the other four countries with the idea of "eat whoever is weak, eat whoever is stupid." Japan is not stupid, but it is weak and destined to be eaten.
Therefore, Japan’s response after the Plaza Accord was actually very appropriate. Just like China 40 years later, it lowered the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates, tried to promote internal circulation, and then impacted the high-tech market, using high-profit products to change the industrial structure and drive the economy.
Unfortunately, without the protection of military strength, the garrison was forced to retreat. The "lost thirty years" fully proves that for a small country with few people, no matter how hard you try, it is just meat on the chopping board.
As the yen appreciated, international investors suddenly found that although the real estate and stocks they bought in Japan were still appreciating, firstly, the orders from the companies they held began to decline, and the dividends became smaller. Secondly, when they wanted to exchange dollars and arbitrage back to their home countries, they found that the depreciation of the dollar could not catch up with the increase in oil, steel, and various production raw materials.
The vultures hovering in the financial market have no meat to eat. After some calculations, the "profits" of international hot money are no match for the "depreciation", and even the price of gold has begun to soar.
You know, international capital comes to make money, not to do good deeds. In the end, a large amount of capital began to flee first, and the continued rise in housing prices was a stimulant given by the Japanese government and the last drop of blood for all the Japanese people who were immersed in the dream of a "developed country".
At the same time, it will crush the dreams of a group of international hot money to get rich quickly. No matter how much they have earned, they have to hand it over to Wall Street!
