Chapter 101 Economic Crisis
After Chen Zhaoguang left, the Chen family gradually became calmer. Everyone tacitly stopped talking about Chen Zhaoguang. Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei were still busy at work all day long. Chen Zhaoping and Li Aihong usually went to see the renovation progress of their courtyard decoration, hoping to get it done one day earlier. Although Chen Weixiong's house is not small, everyone hoped to have their own home.
The holiday passed quickly, and the time for school was coming again. Chen Zhaojun had to move back to the dormitory and start his student life. However, this also has benefits. At least he could talk to the Japanese side. You should know that in the family courtyard of the General Staff, there are many phone calls. Chen Weixiong's family alone has two phones, but these phones are all military routes. Not to mention making international calls, it is very inconvenient to make calls from domestic and local areas. Chen Zhaojun was helpless. However, even if he returned to school, it was not very convenient to make calls. After all, there was a problem of phone bill restrictions, so Chen Zhaojun had to pay the phone bill at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau every few days.
After a few trips to the post and telecommunications bureaus, Chen Zhaojun discovered a good thing: pager! This business started in Beijing not long, but it was just after the New Year. At that time, the price of a pager was as high as 3,700 yuan. However, Chen Zhaojun still bought one without hesitation, so that his usual contact was much more convenient. However, this also made Chen Zhaojun regretful. In fact, the principle of pager is not complicated, it is nothing more than a single-frequency radio receiver, and the wireless paging system is
A one-way broadcast wireless selective call system without voice, which includes a base station and several peripheral base stations, data circuits, paging terminals and pagers. The paging terminal centrally processes the called user numbers and messages of the calling user sent by the telephone network, realizes functions such as repeated calls, re-station query, statistics and charges, and then encodes, converts them into digital signals of a certain code and format, and transmits them to each base station and peripheral station through the data circuit, and transmits them simultaneously through these base transmitters, and is called pagers are connected to the called pagers.
After receiving the signal sent by the base station, there will be information display. In Chen Zhaojun's opinion, these things are not complicated, and are basically very simple in principle. But one thing is unexpected. The key is that Chen Zhaojun does not have his own production base. Even if he has the technology, where can he go to produce? Using these ideas can only be thought about it. However, this triggered another idea of Chen Zhaojun. He remembered that Great Wall 0520 was also produced in 1985, which was an awesome computer. At that time, the technical level of Great Wall 0520 computer exceeded the level of ibm pc and nec980 at the same time. What does this mean? This means that China's computer level was the best in the world at that time. After all, when he asked, Chen Zhaojun realized that there was no Great Wall 0520 computer at this time. This really made Chen Zhaojun very depressed. But he didn't think about doing one by himself. After all, the level is here and he built a computer himself? Chen Zhaojun dared not think about it.
With a pager, of course, I had to call my home first. So I called my home. Zhang Guimei answered it. Chen Zhaojun told me that he had bought a pager and told Zhang Guimei the number. Zhang Guimei couldn't figure out what the pager was after listening for a long time, but it didn't affect her understanding of the function of the pager. Zhang Guimei knew that if she wanted to find Chen Zhaojun again in the future, it would be enough to just call his pager. Chen Zhaoping's information would be larger. When Chen Zhaojun told him that he had equipped a pager, Chen Zhaoping couldn't help but talk. He knew that it was just a small thing the size of a cigarette box, but the price was so expensive. Chen Zhaojun couldn't help but regret it when he heard what his elder brother said. He should buy one for his elder brother, so that it would be more convenient for him. Actually, this is not surprising.
Zhaojun was a person who was used to using mobile phones, and he didn't really keep a pager in his heart. The key is that he knew that in less than two years, pager would become popular and then the world would be ushered in. As a result, when Chen Zhaojun proposed to buy a pager for Chen Zhaoping, Chen Zhaoping refused very decisively. His reason was very simple. One was that he would definitely have a bad impact when using this thing, especially in such a unit. Secondly, if necessary, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will quickly equip everyone with pager, so Chen Zhaojun did not need to buy it for him. Chen Zhaoping's statement made Chen Zhaojun admire him very much. He knew that instant communication tools such as pager were a double-edged sword, which was convenient for himself and more convenient for others. At that time, he would not even know where to hide.
With the pager, Chen Zhaojun's contact is much more convenient. Michiko is far away from Japan and can easily find Chen Zhaojun. However, during this period, Michiko, who was conducting real estate operations in Japan according to Chen Zhaojun's instructions, lived in her heartbeat almost every day. The development of "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is very fast, and everyone basically doesn't need to think too much. Anyway, they aim at valuable areas and buy it in the shortest time. Then they don't think about it at all. They mortgage it to the bank.
Then use the money you have collected to buy land, and this cycle is like this. Some relevant urban planning departments in Japan are very strange. This "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is developing at an amazing speed, and the construction projects reported are all kinds of strange. If you want to build a few villas in the suburbs and buy land, it is understandable, but they can't figure out, "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" builds a small library in the suburbs, what is the significance of a school or something? Will someone run so far to read books? It's even more important to put it in a school.
It’s a joke that the scenery you choose is OK, but there are too few people. Who would send the child there so far? But a few months later, these people in charge of urban planning began to discover. The “Zhaojun Real Estate Company” seemed to be taking the method of surrounding the city in the countryside and attacking everywhere. If the city ushered in a major development, no matter what direction it developed, the “Zhaojun Real Estate Company” would be like a bone, stuck in the most critical place. However, at this time, the Japanese urban planning officials and
Don't worry. Because they have discovered the operation method of "Zhaojun Real Estate Company". Their basic funds are not large. They just keep using existing land as collateral and desperately borrowing from the bank. Then they use the loan to purchase new land. This operation method is actually a rapid development model, but the risks are extremely high. If they cannot buy out the land they have in their hands before their capital chain breaks, then this "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" will be quickly defeated back to its original form and become nothing.
Not only did the relevant urban planning departments in Japan know about these above, but Michiko and her team also knew about them. Seeing that the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is developing faster and faster, and the land is hoarding in their hands, their financial pressure has also begun to increase. As the number of loans increases, Michiko had to notify Chen Zhaojun and use the money he invested in the securities market to fill the holes in the real estate market. At the beginning, this situation was not very serious, but by the end of August, Chen Zhaojun could no longer withstand it.
The only reason why Chen Zhaojun dared to hoard land such land was the signing of the "Platform Agreement". The problem is that Chen Zhaojun did not remember when the "Platform Agreement" was signed. So when the plan was made, the time was a little unsure. It was now the end of August and there was no news about the "Platform Agreement", Chen Zhaojun began to doubt whether he had remembered the time of the "Platform Agreement" wrongly, or because of the butterfly effect, there was no "Platform Agreement" at all? If so, Chen Zhaojun's cheating this time would have been completely failed. In order to leave some funds to make a comeback, Chen Zhaojun felt that it was not
It is time to stop the land project and invest this part of the funds in the US securities market. Because he knew that his investment in Japan was based on the "Platform Agreement". If there was no "Platform Agreement, everything would be unnecessary. It would be better to throw the money into the US securities market and choose a few stocks with great value-added potential for long-term investment. This would also quickly recover his losses in Japan. In this way, at the beginning of a new short-term repayment cycle, Chen Zhaojun had a long talk with Michiko, with the main purpose of exploring whether it is worth continuing to invest money in the "Platform Real Estate Company" project.
"Chen Jun, you have to know that we have invested a lot of money and energy in this project. If you terminate your investment now, it means that your company will all belong to the bank after the next short-term repayment cycle, and our early investment and energy will be completely destroyed." Michiko of course does not want "Shojun Real Estate Company" to go bankrupt, because it means she will lose an opportunity to get a high salary. Michiko knows that with her professional knowledge and ability, it is not difficult to find another job, but it is difficult to find such a good job. After all, this is in Japan, a world dominated by men. Michiko is now considered a ceo of "Shojun Real Estate Company". Of course, she is not willing to lose all this.
"Michiko, you also know that my capital is limited, and now I have basically injected "Zhaojun Real Estate Company". If I don't stop before I go bankrupt, then my fate will become very miserable." Chen Zhaojun said the truth. He knew that there are still many opportunities to make money in the future, even if he doesn't go abroad to make money. But after 1987, China opened up the securities market. As long as there is original funds, he can still make money in the stock market.
Michiko was originally Chen Zhaojun's financial advisor, so she certainly knew Chen Zhaojun's financial situation. She knew very well that if the current situation continued, Chen Zhaojun would become nothing after experiencing two or three repayment cycles at most. This was still the case when the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" maintained the status quo. By that time, not only did the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" end, but Chen Zhaojun also finished it.
"But Chen Jun, weren't you very planned and sure at the beginning? I really want to know what reason did you conduct such a large-scale expansion?" Michiko didn't understand what made Chen Zhaojun think that Japan would have a very rapid economic takeoff, so that it used this unconventional development model.
Chen Zhaojun thought for a while, but he didn't know how to explain to Michiko.
"Forget it, I think this is a very serious guiding mistake I made. For this, I should be punished. Let's do this. Our real estate company has completely stopped expanding in the near future. If the situation cannot fundamentally improve in the next repayment cycle, there is no need to maintain our project. At that time, you can liquidate the company and declare bankruptcy. Then you come to China and I have some things to arrange for you if you want." Chen Zhaojun felt that Michiko was not bad, at least she was honest.
"Listen to your orders." Michiko could only say helplessly. She knew that Chen Zhaojun was telling the truth. Although she felt that Chen Zhaojun's style of conduct was very adventurous, she was still willing to continue working for Chen Zhaojun.
"That's good, we'll see you in October." Chen Zhaojun had no confidence at this time. The next repayment cycle was at the end of September. If at that time "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" could not turn the situation around, the only thing waiting for it was to declare bankruptcy.
"That's good, do you think I should announce my holiday?" This is just a more euphemistic statement. Michiko is now thinking about saving money for Chen Zhaojun. She also expects Chen Zhaojun to develop with the remaining money. Don't think that "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is about to declare bankruptcy. However, Chen Zhaojun's personal funds are still abundant, enough to find another project to make trouble. Of course, new projects cannot be as big as "Zhaojun Real Estate Company".
"This is unnecessary. I think I can still afford these wages. Everyone knows the current situation of the company. When we stop expanding, they will know what's going on. Those who want to resign will let them go." Chen Zhaojun could only say this.
