British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1619: sell noose

More than half a year has passed, and the economic trends of various countries have been presented in front of everyone. The trade deficit of the United States this year will definitely exceed 100 billion US dollars. It is nothing more than an optimistic estimate of only 120 billion. A modest 140 billion US dollars.

It is now 1984, even if it is as strong as a city on a hill, it would be unbearable to face such a level of trade deficit. After finally harvesting a mouthful of blood in Latin America, the money was not warmed up in the hands, and it was unfairly traded. It is tolerable and unbearable to transfer it to the hands of other countries. Especially Japan, which accounts for nearly 40% of the entire trade deficit, is not pleasing to the eye.

During Mrs Thatcher's time, the relationship between Britain and the United States was good, so the visit of US Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan was no surprise to the whole of the UK, but at this critical moment, the confrontation between the striking coal workers and the government intensified , Someone actually opened fire on the police, casting a shadow over the visit of the finance minister of a close ally.

Alan Wilson rejected the father of his son and his girlfriend, who is a lady of the same status, that is, Minister of Finance Lawson. Don't even think about the plan to release the treasury gold to deal with the fiscal deficit. It is not the first time that the supreme authority has rejected it. As long as the previous finance ministers mentioned it, he refused.

"This is the same as the threat of non-launch of nuclear weapons, and now is not the era of the Bretton Woods system. The pound sterling under the sovereign currency does not need to release gold reserves to deal with financial problems. What's more, the current situation is not serious. The released Less has no effect, and releasing more will reduce the weapons in the hands of the country in the future. This is not just a problem with the United Kingdom itself, is the problem with the United States even bigger? Otherwise, what is Donald going to do?"

Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that the more than 6,000 tons of gold in the British treasury are the biggest role to put in the treasury. He believes that the British can survive the suffering of British citizens.

"That's the truth." Lawson pondered for a while to express his agreement, "Estimated in the past ten months, the U.S. trade deficit this year may reach 150 billion U.S. dollars."

"That's right, a trade deficit of this size has almost wiped out the achievements of Latin America." Alan Wilson replied, "Britain cannot suffer losses to help the United States to cover the bottom line, and the Prime Minister cannot afford such consequences."

Finance Minister Lawson thought so deeply. He had to confront Donald Reagan at the meeting of the British and American finance ministers, so he immediately greeted and left. The afternoon meeting of the finance ministers lasted for two hours.

Lawson came to Whitehall again after the end, Donald Reagan's meaning can be summed up in one sentence, this trade deficit is unsustainable, America's problem must be solved immediately, and the allies of the free world must work together to help the United States solve this problem .

"What did our respected Chancellor of the Exchequer say?" Alan Wilson opened a box of Cuban cigars, handed it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a smile, and asked. This is a good... Soviet product.

Who made Cuba vote for the Communist Party? Compared with the hard-working smuggling by the Americans, it is cheaper to buy goods from the Soviet Union.

"I just said that this is mainly a problem of countries that are oriented towards silence. Germany, especially Japan, should be mainly responsible for this. Then I talked about the damage the strike has caused to the British economy this year. I hope the World Bank can provide some help."

Lawson lit his cigar complacently and said, "At the same time, I hope that Washington will speak out for justice regarding the shooting of the police."

"The care of the injured policeman is indeed the top priority at the moment." Alan Wilson nodded. "Maintaining law and order must not chill the hearts of the dedicated policemen."

Anyway, the British economy is like this this year. It really wants to help the United States, but the problem is that it is powerless and even wants to help the United States, which is in a huge trade deficit.

Donald Reagan's trip to the UK was very fruitful. The UK expressed its determination to stand on the side of the United States and attack the export-oriented countries that pursue unfair trade, that is, Germany and Japan.

It is no problem for Britain to clearly stand on the side of the United States, but if these two countries want to bow their heads, the United States still needs to come forward.

This visit is just to let Alan Wilson confirm one thing, that is, the pair of Axis brothers must be doomed, but why does the United States support these two countries? Isn't it just to come in handy at a time like this?

In a good mood, almost walking home with the wind, Alan Wilson revealed to the richest woman the basic facts about Germany and Japan's bad luck, and then asked, "How much money can we use without delaying business? You won’t find opportunities like this in the foreseeable future.”

This year's yen exchange rate is one dollar to two hundred and fifty-one yen. As a freely convertible currency, the yen can also be exchanged against the British pound. The British pound is 1:2.8 to the U.S. dollar, and one pound can be exchanged for about 700 yen. Alan Wilson remembers that before and after the signing of the Plaza Accord, one dollar was exchanged for 240 yen. Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, so they will earn less next year.

After the Plaza Accord, the Japanese stock market increased by nearly three times, and the yen was also raised to 120 yen per dollar within two years. As for the value of 80 yen per dollar in the 1990s, that was too far away .

Judging from the coincidence time with the Japanese stock market bull market, Pamela Mountbatten is currently exchanging yen, and if the Japanese stock market reaches its apex and leaves the market, the yen will be exchanged for pounds or U.S. dollars, together with the factors of yen promotion. Within this period, there will be five or six times the profit, which is based on conventional considerations.

In fact, during the bubble economy period, if you caught the star stocks of the Japanese stock market, which is commonly known as the stock king, it would not be five or six times the profit at all, but five or six times the principal in one day.

With the rapid development of the Japanese economy, ordinary Japanese people are faced with spending money freely, buying things freely, finding jobs freely, and every day in the future will be better.

"Is five billion pounds enough?" Pamela Mountbatten asked pitifully, "Honey, I trust you so much, you have to know that once you lose money, after so many years of hard work, it will be..."

"But what?" Alan Wilson said with a look of who in the family has the final say, "It's nothing more than two years of hard work to make up for the loss. Is it successful? That's the profit that can be sold by selling the noose."

The noose can be sold at a profit of 300%, which is five or six times the profit. Isn't it worth rushing to put your own neck on it?

"Don't worry, the success rate is close to 100%. Maybe Washington has talked with Tokyo for several rounds now, but in secret, we don't know. Isn't this normal? We also have secret talks with Saudi Arabia to avoid letting the United States people know."

Alan Wilson said good words of relief, but he hid it tightly, and it will be revealed to the world when it is time to do it. When the first British Typhoon fighter jet appears in Saudi Arabia, the United States will know.

Alan Wilson has no way of knowing the inside story of the negotiation between the United States and Japan, but he is sure that this negotiation must exist, and it is true.

The first negotiation even took place in 1983, when a major country was cracking down, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury proposed to Japan for the first time three major reform requirements: liberalization of financial market access, liberalization of interest rates, and internationalization of the yen.

One month later, U.S. President Reagan visited Japan and clarified the policy of "correcting the low yen" among the three major reform requirements. Tracing these government-level demands on Japan is based on an American company.

Caterpillar of the United States released a report entitled "The Contradictions of the Dollar and the Yen—Existing Problems and Solutions." The company's chairman at the time was Lee Morgan, so the report is often referred to as the "Morgan Report."

Caterpillar is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery and mining machinery. In the 1970s and 1980s, Caterpillar, like many American companies, was hit hard by the siege of its Japanese counterparts.

In the international market, Caterpillar's construction machinery sales were as high as 3.3 billion US dollars, but only three years later, this figure dropped to 1.7 billion US dollars. Almost all of the market that was eaten away fell into the hands of Japan's Komatsu and Hitachi.

An American company, of course, cannot issue orders to the Japanese government. However, there is a rule of the game in American politics—lobbying. Lee Morgan took his report and lobbied members of the U.S. Congress to put pressure on the Japanese government through their transfer to the U.S. government.

For this reason, the United States has already started negotiations with Japan on number theory. Against the backdrop of a record-breaking trade deficit this year, Reagan will definitely ask Japan to respond immediately~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same time, in 1985 Before arriving, an ordinary couple from far away England also prepared a noose for sale, which was proved to be strong enough to hang anyone.

The funds of Alan Wilson and the richest woman have been transferred in banks all over the world. When they entered Japan, it was already impossible for anyone to determine which country the original source was.

1984, the same time as the famous year in the UK, has passed, and people are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the new year, but the U.S. Treasury Department is dignified, and only rough first-hand information can be obtained from customs and taxation, so don’t bother It has been verified that the U.S. recorded a record deficit of 140 billion U.S. dollars this year, nearly 40% of which came from Japan.

This huge number makes it difficult for people to relax. The United States did not occupy Japan, and Japan is the enemy of the United States.

A trade deficit of this scale almost makes the United States' hard work in Latin America meaningless, and financial harvest cannot be done every year, but Japan has trade every year. Doesn't this make Wall Street's hard work go to waste?
