Silicon Valley

Chapter 503 Joining forces with capital predators (two in one)

The Japanese stock market was in serious crisis and the society was very unstable. Coupled with Henry's slander, many investors withdrew their funds from Japan, and people from all over the world who originally planned to travel to Japan also gave up this idea.

Over the years, Japan has suffered many disasters, such as the real estate bubble crisis in 1990, the Hanshin earthquake in 1995, and the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Now it has been banned from the world because of offending Henry Williams, which once again triggered an economic crisis. number!

Japan has already been seriously injured, and this time it was bruised all over by Henry. Let alone the economy, it has set back 5 years!

In the early 1990s, Japan had more than 200 Fortune 500 companies, but now there are less than 50... On the other hand, Henry alone owns nearly 100 Fortune 500 companies!

It is hard to imagine, privately owning 100 Fortune 500 companies, what is this concept? It can be said that there is no such thing in ancient and modern times, even if it is shocking, it is not enough to describe it. Henry is the real rich and invincible country, and this "country" is not a small country, but a world-class power!

The United States is the undisputed number one power in the world, but if the United States does not include Henry's Fortune 500 companies, then there are only more than 80 companies! That's even less than Henry! Henry is so awesome and powerful, that's why he dared to have the courage to fight Japan!

Little Japan has a small territory and few resources, but its population is huge. There are more than 100 million people. Food, vegetables, meat, minerals, etc. have to be purchased from the outside world. However, these things are monopolized and controlled by Henry. The Japanese Go buy these things, at least double the price. The so-called wool comes from sheep, and Japanese businessmen are not philanthropists. They will definitely sell it to the Japanese at a high price, thus increasing the burden of life on the Japanese. When the Japanese save less, their spending power will decrease. And those who start a company can't make money. If the company doesn't make money, the income of employees will naturally decrease. With less income, the consumption power can only drop again and again... Under a series of chain reactions, the Japanese economy has shown a crisis. The spectacle of decline!

Japan is very miserable now, it is not so miserable to offend a country!

...

...

At this moment, in Williams Manor, the man who caused the Japanese people to live in dire straits was leaning on a recliner and listening to his subordinates' reports leisurely.

"Mr. Williams, the Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortia are moving very quickly. According to our inquiries, the two consortiums have sent a total of 100,000 business personnel to conduct inspections around the world, and are planning to build tens of thousands of buildings by May 2002. shop!"

"Hehe, it's interesting..." Henry chuckled, and then said unhurriedly, "Send someone to make trouble, and our people will compete for whichever piece of land or facade they fancy, and take this Raise the price! Hehe, aren’t the Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortiums rich and powerful, so they probably don’t care about paying a little more money..."

"Mr. Williams is wise! Such a mess will at least save them billions of dollars in extra funds, and it will also delay their construction of the store!"

"Yes, that's right. And during this period of time, you must integrate the department stores and supermarkets under my name and optimize resources! Then launch online e-commerce!"

"Mr. Williams, don't worry, we will complete the integration and optimization of business resources as soon as possible!!!"

Henry nodded, indicating that he could leave.

In just one month, the Mitsui consortium and the Mitsubishi consortium each lost tens of billions of dollars because of Henry's ban, so they couldn't wait to build their own stores. However, Henry will not allow their store to be built so smoothly. Presumably by then, the two consortiums will vomit blood in anger!

It is the happiest thing to base your happiness on the enemy's pain!

Henry stood up from the recliner with a smile, and then left the living room, happily playing with the two cuties Caesar and Diana...

2001 passed quickly, and Henry's company was booming. Under the guidance of his golden fingers, both business development and technology research and development were directed in the most correct direction. Especially in technology research and development, generally speaking, nearly half of the technology in technology development is useless, or something that cannot be commercialized, so it is normal to take detours. But under Henry's guidance, there are almost no detours to take, and the R\u0026D speed is faster than other companies do not know how many times. Combining technology and business, leading every step of the way, it completely beat the competition. Although there are golden fingers to use, Henry still invested a lot of money to increase the development of technology and recruited a lot of outstanding talents from all over the world!

Before he runs out of golden fingers, as long as the talent and technology are there, he can be invincible. In addition, Henry has a big weapon in his hands-that is money. If a competitor has a relatively powerful technology, and it seems that it may subvert the industry... It is easy to say, directly acquire the other party! A strong company is getting stronger and stronger, in fact, this is the reason, non-stop acquisitions, never-ending!

In the evening, Henry began to browse the company's annual financial statements. Except for the poor performance of Ares Arms, the rest are pretty good. This year, Henry created a revenue of 8 trillion US dollars, with a net profit of 240 billion US dollars, and left a part of the funds to the company. After dividends, Henry had 160 billion US dollars, but it cost more than 45 billion US dollars to pay taxes. , In the end, less than US$115 billion was obtained. When Henry thought of paying so much tax, his heart ached!

The corporate tax is paid by the company, and Henry is an American citizen, so he must also pay personal income tax. The United States specializes in pitting the rich. The richer they are, the more they pay. The personal income tax paid by Henry alone can be worth a Bill Gates.

As early as October 25, 2001, Microsoft released the XP system. This system is more powerful, crushing any operating system except Apple's mac-os. For a while, Microsoft's stock price soared, and Bill Gates His net worth also rose from more than 30 billion dollars to 45 billion dollars in an instant, and finally reached the tax paid by Henry...

Henry couldn't help being depressed, he actually let Bill Gates' worth reach his own tax level.

Henry has laid out a lot of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robots, bionics, biotechnology, energy, materials, nanotechnology, etc., and has begun to achieve some results. I believe that it will not be long before the speed of making money will increase. Big outbreak! !

Nearby, the iPhone smart phone is already under development and may be listed next year! Many of these technologies have never been released, and Henry has a big appetite. He has monopolized all related technology patents, and if some patents belong to other companies, Henry will also directly acquire them. It is conceivable that after the iPhone came out, other companies would be stunned, and every mobile phone produced in the future is basically making money for Henry.

Under Henry's order, Google has also started to develop the Android mobile phone system, so that other mobile phone manufacturers can help Henry develop the smartphone market. Even if Henry ate all of a small cake, he still wouldn't be full. Only by making the cake bigger can Henry divide the biggest piece of it! On the other hand, it can also prevent the US judiciary from suing Apple for antitrust crimes.

Caesar and Diana, who were born in February 2001, are now able to walk independently. However, they will fall down from time to time, and they will cry loudly when they fall. Henry will Caesar and Diana Anna hugged them and wanted them to walk for her to see. Unexpectedly, Caesar walked in a hurry, accidentally fell to the ground, and burst into tears. Henry comforted him for a while, but Caesar was still crying. There was nothing to do, so Henry hurriedly called Ulysses. Sure enough, Ulysses came, and Caesar stopped crying.

"After all, I'm closer to my mother!" Henry said "jealously".

Ulysses gave Henry a white look, and said: "Of course the child kissed his mother, why are you so busy usually, don't spend much time with them!"

Henry was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but hugged Diana and Caesar, kissed each of their faces, and said, "Okay, okay, Dad will spend more time with you in the future!"

Watching the two children grow up, before he knew it, Henry was almost 28 years old, and he would be 30 years old in two years. Time makes people old, Henry thinks that it is time to let Gene Umbrella Company develop a potion that will not age and prolong life, or an evolutionary potion. As the research on the gene umbrella deepens, Henry feels more and more that the gene is a magical code containing countless treasures, and whoever can control it is the god.

After dinner, Henry started to work again. As the richest man in the world, a self-motivated richest man in the world is actually not easy. This is like the emperors in the feudal period, there were fatuous emperors who were licentious and ignored the government, and there were also wise emperors who cared for the people and the country and cared about the world. And Henry is the latter.

Right now, Henry owns so many department stores and supermarkets, and there is also Nicholas International E-Commerce Group. Therefore, he feels that he can establish and support the development of his own brand in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, from small things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, to large household appliances, everything is included!

Once such a business empire is established, it will probably be several times more terrifying than it is now! At that time, human beings on earth will mainly do three things in their lives: birth, Williams, and death.

Just as Henry was planning his future development, a phone call came.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Soros!"

It turned out to be Soros' call, Henry was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the purpose of his call.

"Hello, Soros first, what can you do?"

Soros said with a smile: "Mr. Williams, you and I are short selling the Japanese stock market this time, can we be considered allies?"

"En!" Henry nodded.

Soros smiled and continued: "But, although we are allies, we fight each other independently, and our strength cannot be concentrated. Therefore, if we join forces together, it will be different..."

Hearing this, Henry smiled and said, "Okay, how do you say to join forces?"

"We advance and retreat together, contact each other, and agree on when to attack and retreat together. In this way, not only will the attack be strong, but also when we retreat, the Japanese stock market will not rebound sharply due to lack of cooperation, thereby reducing the tension between the two sides. loss!"

Henry nodded unconsciously. If one party in the stock market suddenly retreats, it will inevitably cause the Nikkei index to rise sharply, and the money that should be earned will also be reduced!

"Okay, no problem, I'll let Kailina contact you, let's work together!"

"Haha... I wish us a happy cooperation! It's their misfortune that Japan provoked you!!! That's it, I won't bother you!"

"Okay." Henry hung up the phone.

Although Henry tricked Soros, Soros is a capitalist who pays attention to profit. As long as he has money to make, it is not impossible to turn war into jade. Henry then came to Karina's room and talked to her about the cooperation with Soros. After talking for a long time, Henry stayed in Karina's room that night.

In the following week, the Japanese stock market fell even more severely. Only from the changes in the stock market, professionals have been able to analyze that the world's richest man has teamed up with capital predators. Panic came to Japan for a time, and stockholders dumped their stocks one after another, causing the stock market avalanche to intensify!

"Wall Street Journal": "Under the joint efforts of Soros and Henry Williams, the whole of Japan fell, an unprecedented blow, not much worse than the stock market bubble in 1990. Unfortunately, in 1990, the Japanese government still had financial resources to carry out To save the market, but now, the Japanese government is powerless and can only watch the other side wantonly play with the Japanese stock market!"

"Reuters": "Affected by the Japanese economy, the stock markets of Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries all fell to varying degrees. A new round of Asian financial crisis may break out!"

"The Times": "Japanese companies have suffered the heaviest blow in China. Although the Japanese government has protested to the Chinese government, due to the actions of non-government spontaneous organizations, the Chinese government stated that it cannot forcibly use force to suppress it, but can only guide it. , so that the public can rationally look at the Japanese issue. At the same time, the Chinese government expressed the hope that the Japanese government can respect history, recognize the evil deeds of the Nanjing Massacre, and apologize to the people of China. This may make the public calm and rational stand up……"

"Asahi Shimbun": "On November 30, 2001, Henry Williams blocked Japanese companies, which caused huge losses to Japan. His monopoly, hegemony, and abnormal competition behaviors should be condemned and praised by the world. Sanctions by the law... Now, Henry Williams and Soros have joined forces to crack down on the Japanese stock market, causing thousands of companies to go bankrupt and countless workers laid off and unemployed, causing Japan to be in chaos and people's livelihood is difficult! Henry Williams's The behavior is simply insane, if he has a conscience, please stop your stupid actions immediately!"

"..."

When Henry saw the Japanese newspaper, he sneered disdainfully, and wanted me to stop? Hmph, I will not give up until Japan is brought down.
