Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

"In terms of financial operations, it cannot be said to be ethical or unethical. This is just an operation. The financial market does not belong to the category of ethics. It is not immoral. Ethics simply does not exist here because it has its own rules of the game. I As a participant in the financial market, I will play this game in accordance with the established rules. I will not violate these rules, so I do not feel guilty or responsible."

——George Soros.

In Tan Zhenhua’s "Circle of Friends", George Soros should be regarded as an alternative model. According to the evaluation of Citibank President John Reid, this person is a cold-blooded financial animal. Human feelings.

Just like his own motto, he will act in accordance with financial laws and bloodthirsty instincts, maximizing the benefits from all opportunities. As for the consequences of this behavior, it is not in his consideration. within.

Therefore, even if there is no deep memory from his previous life, Tan Zhenhua knows that in the face of the Southeast Asian financial environment at this time, George Soros will never be indifferent.

This point can also be circumstantial evidence from another person who is very similar to George Soros in personality and methods, "Demon Blade" Guo Zhaode-because Guo Zhaode has been talking in Tan Zhenhua's ear many times, saying so well. It’s a shame not to have a big vote...

It must be done. Tan Er and his gang have done things like robbing other people’s treasury more than once. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "repeated offenders", and they can be described as "crime-laden" and "exhausted." And in the foreseeable future, many crimes will be committed, and the scale and value of the crimes will also increase...

However, because the crime involved a lot of countries and regions, the impact will be extremely far-reaching, and a certain systemic major risk must be properly handled. At the same time, in Tan Zhenhua’s plan, it is necessary to achieve the goal of depriving wealth. There are multiple purposes outside. Therefore, how to commit the crime, how to control the scale of the case, and how to smoothly accomplish certain long-term strategic goals after committing the crime requires careful planning and preparation.

As a result, in the newly completed headquarters building of "Red Flag Capital", the lights stayed almost all day and night.

At the same time, on Wall Street on the far side of the ocean, George Soros finally completed all the preparations. His eyes were gleaming with bloodthirsty rays, like an African giant crocodile lurking on the Nile for a long time. A little head came out, peeking at the unconscious prey on the shore.

Behind him, more giant crocodiles have lined up, restlessly waiting for a signal of action, and a **** massacre is about to begin.

But the prey didn't know that their bad luck was coming, and they were still in the midst of the prosperity that was set off by feasting.

The prosperity of Southeast Asia has lasted for more than ten years. For such a long time, people here have become accustomed to the continuous improvement of living conditions brought about by the rapid economic development. They enjoy the enjoyment brought by the continuous enrichment of materials, as if all this is justified. And, it will last forever.

But is this really the case?

Sometimes, the superficial prosperity is really just an illusion, such as Southeast Asia at this stage.

Beginning in the 1950s, due to the needs of the current situation and strategic considerations, the U.S. State consciously transferred some of the domestic low-end manufacturing capacity to the U.S., pushing the U.S. economy into the fast lane of rapid development. After more than 20 years of development, After that, the land and labor costs inevitably increased in the country. High labor-intensive and low-value-added industries such as garment processing and daily necessities began to overflow. At that time, China had not yet opened the country. The regions that mainly undertook these Japanese foreign industries are the Southeast Asian countries, and these countries have also taken advantage of the rapid economic development of the Japanese nation.

For Southeast Asian countries, this is a great opportunity. They have also grasped this historical opportunity well, opened the door to the country, and welcomed Japanese people to invest and set up factories in their own countries. These factories have provided a large number of Southeast Asian countries. Job opportunities, and soon became an important force driving the economic development of these countries.

The Japanese people also think that their own strategy is very successful. They even put forward a "geese" theory, arrogantly thinking that the Japanese are the goose, leading the economic development of the entire Southeast Asia.

But there are some things, you can't be too arrogant, such as self-proclaimed as a goose.

When a sleeping giant woke up, everything began to change quietly.

Southeast Asian countries can rise up by taking over the transfer of production capacity from the Japanese country because of the comparative advantage of cheap land and labor resources compared to the Japanese country, but with the awakening of another big dragon, this comparative advantage is lost and weakened-these small countries Who can have a greater advantage than Huaxia?

And there is another important problem. In the process of gradual economic prosperity, all Southeast Asian countries made short-sighted mistakes. They did not take advantage of this great opportunity to complete industrial upgrading. They were just immersed in the exchange of resources such as cheap labor and land. Complacent in short-term interests, the country's industrial capacity and labor efficiency have not completed substantial evolutionary development, which paved the way for their future major failures.

Originally, according to the general law, although the "big dragon" is fierce, there is always a long process for the transfer of industry-you relocate or build a new factory, from decision to implementation, it takes time Right? It takes more time to reconstruct the entire supply chain system, but a certain emergency has accelerated the process of all this.

In September 1985, Waguo signed the famous "Plaza Agreement" and the yen started a violent rise.

I have introduced the impact of this agreement in the previous article. One of the most important points is that due to the sharp drop in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the yen, the Japanese suddenly discovered that they had become rich!

What do poor people like to do the most?

Invest, buy, buy, buy!

As a result, all goods denominated in Japanese yen in the country have been fired up, and because of loose credit, it is easy to borrow money from banks and other financial institutions, and the interest rate is low, and countless companies and even individuals have received large sums of money. Many of them have flowed out of the country, and their preferred investment location is the countries in Southeast Asia where the Japanese people have established a considerable foundation.

Some of this money has been invested in manufacturing, and a large number of Japanese-owned factories have been built, which has enabled Southeast Asian countries to develop more rapidly. Textiles, food, automobiles, integrated circuits, computer accessories, consumer electronics and other products have been labeled The large-scale dumping of Japanese trademarks around the world also makes these countries form a typical export-oriented economic structure.

Some money started the same activities in the country, and began to speculate on the prices of resource commodities, quietly accumulating asset bubbles after another.

The leeks are growing, and the sickles used to harvest them are being sharpened sharper and sharper in unattended corners.
