"Little Li's flying knife has made a loud noise, and Chu Liuxiang will not be seen in this world. Δ Novels""

At 18:60 on September 21, 1985, Gu Long, a 48-year-old martial artist, left. Walking so quickly, so pitiful, so unrestrained, so magnanimous, without any burden, and without any remembrance of the world.

The news of Gu Long's death quickly spread throughout Taiwan and overseas through newspapers, radio and television. Major newspapers in Taiwan and Hong Kong and Macau published Gu Long's bad news in prominent positions.

Knowing that Gu Long was gone, Xu Cun also sighed! Xu Cun even had the idea of ​​writing an elegiac couplet for Gu Long himself.

pity--

Xu Cun, who had little talent and learning, raised his pen several times, but in the end he couldn't come up with an elegiac couplet worthy of Gu Long.

Later, Xu Cun called Zhou Liang Shuyi and asked Phoenix TV to turn all of today's programs into black and white broadcasts to show his condolences to Gu Long.

Just the day after Gu Longxian passed away, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the former Federal Republic of Germany, and Japan began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market, and all countries began to sell the US dollar.

It is said that at the square meeting, Japanese Finance Minister Nori Takeshita said that Japan is willing to assist the United States in taking market interventions to lower the dollar exchange rate, and even said a "20% devaluation is ok".

After this, the US government authorities, represented by US Treasury Secretary James Baker and experts represented by Fred Bergsten (then director of the US Institute for International Economics), continued to verbally intervene in the dollar. , indicating that the level of the dollar exchange rate at that time was still high, and there was still room for decline. The US dollar continued to fall sharply against the yen under the hint of a tough stance from the US government. The "Plaza Accord" opened the prelude to the sharp appreciation of the yen.

Xu Cun was greatly relieved that the Plaza Accord was held as scheduled and the changes in the currency market. Before that, Xu Cun had been worried that the Plaza Accord would not happen or would not happen as scheduled because of his aggressive purchase of Japanese yen. Fortunately, the Plaza Accord finally came to life as scheduled!

actually--

Xu Cun was also worried.

In the last life, there was an unconfirmed claim that it was not James Baker, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who proposed to hold this square meeting, but the then Japanese Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance) Takeshita Nori (who arrived in 1987). During the 1990s, he also served as Prime Minister of Japan), and US Treasury Secretary James Baker just chose a specific meeting place. In 1995, a report was published in The Economist, an influential economic publication in Japan. Nori Takeshita himself admitted the above statement.

One proof that Takeshita took the initiative to participate in the preparation of the square meeting is the date of the meeting—September 22, 1985. It is a practice for governments to choose Sunday to announce major news, because financial markets are closed, and announcements at this time can give the market sufficient time to react. September 23 is the autumnal equinox, a public holiday in Japan, while Europe and the United States do not rest. According to the recollection of Tomomitsu Oba, the Finance Minister of Japan’s Ministry of Finance at the time who attended the Plaza meeting, Peyer, President of the West German Central Bank, who attended the meeting on behalf of West Germany at the time, believed that Japan was the first country to face the market after the Plaza Accord. Because the Tokyo foreign exchange market is in the easternmost time zone. After learning that the next day was a public holiday in Japan, West Germany became the first market to open. Peir was displeased and thought he had fallen into a trap that Japan had planted in advance.

Even if Takeshita didn't offer to hold the plaza meeting, he was the most visible at the meeting. One detail is that among the G5s with various countries, the media specifically referred to the United States and Japan as G2s. There were too many episodes around Takeshita Noon before and after the plaza meeting. For example, in order to keep secrets before the meeting, Takeshita made an appointment to play golf at a golf course near Narita Airport before going to the United States, and then feinted and went straight to the airport, wearing a golf jacket on the plane. The governor of the Bank of Japan, who was on the same plane, wore a large mask to prevent being identified by the media. At the press conference after the agreement table, a reporter asked: "Why does Japan tolerate the appreciation of the yen?" Takeshita Nomon replied: "Because my name is 'Deng'." ("Deng" and "sheng" Homonym in Japanese).

As the Minister of Finance of Japan and the Prime Minister of Japan two years later, how could Nori Takeshita allow the yen to appreciate sharply for no reason? It is because the sharp appreciation of the yen has provided a good opportunity for Japanese companies to go global and expand overseas on a large scale, and also promoted the adjustment of Japan's industrial structure, which is ultimately beneficial to the healthy development of the Japanese economy. Therefore, Takeshita Nori and the Japanese government vigorously promoted the Plaza Accord.

The orderly decline of the US dollar against major currencies can solve the huge US trade deficit, so US Treasury Secretary James Baker and the US government are also vigorously promoting the Plaza Accord.

The question is, the two most important countries are vigorously promoting the Plaza Accord. How could the Plaza Accord not be signed? How can it not be implemented?

After paying attention to the currency market for ten consecutive days, Xu Cuncai turned his attention to the shooting of "The Matrix".

In the end, Xu Cun selected the cast list for the first part of "The Matrix" as follows:

Li Guohao as Neo

Yang Ziqiong as Trinity

Zhou Run as Morpheus

Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith

Will Smith as Tank

Whoopi Goldberg as Prophet

Wu Zhenyu as Cypher

Except for Agent Brown, the rest of the agents and crew are all black and white-in order to take care of the emotions of the Japanese audience, Xu Cun specially let Kurata Yasuo play the role of Agent Brown, and prepared to give him some extra action scenes.

The reason why Xu Cun cares so much about Kurata Yasaki~lightnovelpub.net~ is not only because he has to take care of the emotions of the Japanese audience, but also because of Oshima Yukari's face-after all, Kurata Yasuo is Oshima Yukari's master, and Oshima Yukari Not long ago, Xu Cun gave birth to a son.

Hugo Weaving played Agent Smith in The Matrix.

Will Smith is not yet an actor, let alone the little black who almost won the Oscar twice - he is still just a rapper.

Whoopi Goldberg is the black actress who played the psychic Ota in "The Ghost Story".

In order to prevent the sequel to The Matrix from changing actors, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to sign an agreement with Hugo Weaving, Will Smith, and Whoopi Goldberg that they must appear in the sequel to The Matrix, and set the maximum liquidated damages.

In addition, in order to prevent "The Matrix" from turning sour, Xu Cun also deliberately brought the Wachowski brothers, who are currently working on woodworking, drawing comics, and conceiving "The Matrix", as assistant editors.
