Since the late 1970s, the real estate market, stock market and foreign exchange in the Sakura Country have continued to rise. Among them, the real estate market has increased by an average of 18% since 1980, with a steady increase every year.
As for the stock market, the Nikkei 225 index rose from about 2,000 points to 8,000 points, with an average annual increase of about 20%.
Even the foreign exchange rate of Sakura Country. In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system collapsed and the Japanese yen began to gradually move towards a floating exchange rate system. The exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar was around 360 yen to the US dollar. By the end of the 1970s, it appreciated to around 200 yen to the US dollar.
Moreover, in the 1980s, after the signing of the Plaza Accord, the Japanese yen appreciated significantly again, and the exchange rate against the US dollar once exceeded the high of 150 yen to 1 US dollar.
Bao Junyi looked at the sky of Hong Kong, and Nan Nan said, "We need to speed up our layout. The world situation is facing a turning point."
"Looks like I still have to go to Tokyo again to oversee the layout there."
......
A few months later.
In 1981, after the new and old presidents of the United States took over and Katz lost the election, Reagan came to power and became the president of the United States, starting an eight-year drastic reform in the United States and implementing a series of policies known as "Ragan Economics."
However, due to domestic currency collapse and economic downturn, it is necessary to increase project construction in various places, increase employment rate and ease inflation policies.
Due to the substantial interest rate hikes in the United States, a large amount of capital has flowed into the United States. They then used these funds to invest in various infrastructure projects in the United States, resulting in increasingly tight funds, reduced liquidity, and more serious inflation in countries around the world.
At this time, Jia Yue was reporting to him: "Mr. Bao, the Federal Reserve is now in close contact with the Presidential Office and may continue to raise interest rates."
"Moreover, the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hikes have lowered U.S. domestic inflation, but this has been passed on to other countries."
"As a result, the performance of all the subsidiaries of our Miracle Group has continued to decline, and even..."
Bao Junyi interrupted, "I know the current international situation, but now is not the time to cut costs. This labor cost is just a drop in the bucket for the group."
"We can't scale back now; we have to continue expanding and even acquire some companies so that our subsidiaries can form a complete ecological chain and a closed loop."
"Mr. Bao, countries around the world are cutting spending right now. How about we do the opposite?"
Bao Junyi waved his hand and said, "Taking advantage of the global economic downturn, we're buying up some high-quality stores, central office buildings, mines, wineries, jewelry brands, etc. at bargain prices."
"Among them, our Kowloon Real Estate, Watsons (convenience store chain), agricultural groups, mining groups, etc. can all expand madly and acquire mines, farms, etc. in Brazil, Australia, Argentina, Peru, and other regions."
"If we invest billions of dollars, we can definitely build a global convenience store chain, the largest agricultural group, the mining group with the most mines, and so on."
Jia Yue was shocked by his plan. Her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it. It took her a while to recover.
He said in surprise: "Mr. Bao, are you serious?"
"certainly!"
"Bao Sheng, you know that according to your plan, the initial funding will require several billion US dollars. Moreover, it will require continuous investment. Besides the long payback period, there are also some regional policy issues to consider."
Bao Junyi smiled and said nonchalantly, "The funding you mentioned is absolutely fine. We've made $18 billion in profits on crude oil futures, plus arms orders, over $26 billion. This means the group has earned over $44 billion this year."
"Of this, $10 billion has already been given to Yuan Tianfan for planning. Adding the remaining $4.8 billion in the group's account, the total is $38.8 billion."
"These are not including the revenue from Kowloon Real Estate, Watsons, Miracle Auto, Miracle Chip and other sectors."
Jia Yuezheng was speechless. It turned out that his confidence came from his wealth. I thought he had some other trump cards.
He calmed down and thought carefully about Bao Junyi's words. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. However, the risk was really not low.
Jia Yuezheng hesitated for a while before saying, "It's possible, but isn't the risk too high?"
"Should we first choose a track, fully commit to the experiment, and only go all in if we see results?"
Bao Junyi shook his head and said, "Time waits for no one, we must proceed together."
"Besides, this opportunity is just a window of opportunity. By the time everyone recovers, the huge pie will have been almost divided up."
He and Jia Yuezheng discussed in the office for more than an hour before they came up with the basic plan for the group. The rest still required Jia Yuezheng to organize meetings, come up with specific plans, and make a series of arrangements including market research.
"Da...da da."
At this moment, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground came from outside the door.
Qiu Shuzhen knocked, pushed the door open, and said, "Junyi, are you done?"
Seeing Qiu Shuzhen coming, Jia Yuezheng immediately said, "Mr. Bao, we've almost finished discussing it. I'll go down and discuss it in a meeting and then decide."
"As for the specific plan, I'll send it to you once it's ready."
Bao Junyi smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "Alright then, give it to me as soon as you're done."
"no problem."
Jia Yuezheng quickly picked up the documents and briefcase, left the office quickly, and closed the door.
Bao Junyi glanced at the beauty and teased, "Why are you looking for me at this time? Is there something good going on?"
"Yes, Sister Anna prepared a table full of delicious food and asked us to go back early in the evening."
