Chapter 350 The Inner Ghost in the Japanese

Not only is it not an academic school, but also combined with Reagan’s background

Carter believes that this old man may "know the current affairs" better than anyone else! Whether it is his experience in Hollywood, or from being an avid supporter of the Democratic Party during the Roosevelt era to the current Republican leader who supports New Nationalism against

The supervision of large companies has now become the representative of large capital groups

It can be said that Reagan has a strong sense of the entertainment industry, the snobbishness of people in Vanity Fair! He "taunts the low and praises the high", and he plays it better than anyone else!

There is almost nothing that cannot be discarded by such a person, just whether the price is enough!

If the implementation of conservative trade doctrine can get more votes than free trade doctrine, he will definitely change his position as soon as possible. He will directly abandon the concepts and beliefs that he once preached.

As of May 1 last year, the total number of laid-off auto workers in the United States exceeded 220,000! If Reagan can re-solve jobs for them, these 220,000 votes are almost a certainty! To solve this problem, the votes of several industrial states such as Ohio will

, it must be in his pocket!

And as time goes by, the more unemployed auto workers there are, the greater the number of potential votes will be! The possibility of stable votes will also become greater.

"Oh, I know. I'm just angry, you know?"

Akio Toyoda's sigh brought Carter's thoughts back to reality.

"As I just said, if the U.S. government introduces various restrictive measures, I will understand! Other than regretting that the great opportunity has passed, I will not be angry."

"Because as you said, the positions are different! The U.S. government should do this. If the same situation occurs in Japan, I also hope that our Japanese government can do the same! This kind of thing should be done accordingly, even if it is a trade opponent

, I will also express my approval for it.”

"But the current situation is that we feel like there is a mole within ourselves! Our Ministry of International Trade and Industry is not willing to harm the interests of our Japanese car companies, but also protects American auto workers and the market? What an irony! They

Is it the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan or the U.S. Department of Commerce?!"

"I understand your emotions. Since ancient times, people have often hated traitors more than upright enemies. I understand, it's just that"

Carter wanted to say that even if the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry did not do this, the situation would not be much better. Perhaps raising tariffs would only reduce the price competitiveness of Japanese cars in the market and reduce their market share in disguise. There is no such direct restriction on your export quantity.

It's straightforward, but the result is the same.

But after thinking about this, Carter thought it was unnecessary to say it.

It doesn’t make sense whether MITI is a mole. Maybe they are just considering that if they don’t accept the conditions of the United States, it will lead to more serious consequences?

Since the reduction of the market share of Japanese cars in the United States is irreversible, why not be more obedient? Be more obedient and take care of the matter yourself. In this way, if the American father is happy, he may be able to help in other ways.

How about some compensation of your own to recover Japan’s losses in automobile output?

If we continue to fight hard, we might not even get any compensation, which is a net loss!

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I said it's not because of the tariff issue. That's what I mean. It's not a direct tariff barrier, but it's more severe than the tariff! It's restricted to us in terms of the quantity supplied directly from the source! If there wasn't this

Self-limiting agreement, let alone 5 Hiaces, you just want 500, 5,000."

Like Carter, after getting angry, Akio Toyoda did not want to bring up this disgusting topic anymore. After sighing for an unknown number of times, he continued to say:

"We are businessmen. The more orders we have, the happier we are. There is absolutely no reason to shut out orders. It's just that once this agreement comes out, the already small quota will be wasted on sea lions."

"For a vehicle like this, the first priority is cost-effectiveness. The profit margin is too small. If possible, we would prefer to use the quota on high-end cars such as Crown. At least, if the profit margin is larger, our losses will be smaller!"

But since you are the one who has spoken, I will think of a way for you, and it shouldn’t be a big problem. At this time, if you look for Nissan or Mitsubishi, there is probably no chance. They also don’t want to export such low-profit cars."

"E, Mr. Toyota, actually I plan to import these five cars to China."

After almost being moved by Akio Toyoda's sincerity, Carter added this sentence quietly. It seemed that he didn't say it just now.

If it is imported to China, what does it have to do with the self-restriction agreement on automobile exports to the United States?!

Akio Toyoda:

"You! Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Did you mean to see our joke?"

After a brief silence, Toyoda Akio became furious:

"You have such a bad conscience! I thought you saw the news about Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry issuing a self-limiting agreement, or discovered that your U.S. Customs has not raised tariffs on Japanese car imports at all, so you came to me. It turns out you

Are you trying to trick me?! Do you want to see a joke about us Japanese persecuting Japanese people?! Do you enjoy watching it?!"

"Ahem, cough, you can't say that! Don't slander me, you are obviously the one who started this topic! I just plan to open a hotel in China, and then I need a car. I thought of you, so naturally it was you who said this yourself

I didn’t say anything! It’s none of my business!”

Indeed, he didn’t say anything.

After recalling the whole story of his phone call, Carter was very confident.

"Okay, okay, let's wait a minute, settlement method? US dollars or Japanese yen?"

"U.S. dollars! But don't worry, I'll wait for the approval here before placing the order. I just called in advance to ask. I thought that if Toyota didn't have the corresponding model, I would find a way from the United States.

Who would have thought of that? Hahahaha! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought of some happy things and it has absolutely nothing to do with your MITI's saucy operations!"

Although he didn't directly say "I don't want RMB", the subtext was already obvious. Carter didn't bother to worry about purchasing a car for a certain number of people, since he could afford it in US dollars anyway.

"Bage Yalu, I have tolerated you for a long time! You are definitely laughing at us!"

After roaring and making a little joke, Akio Toyoda returned to his seriousness:

"I'll have the salesperson contact you later. If necessary, just contact him directly."

"You just happened to call. Let me talk to you about another issue. It's the Automobile Workers Union and the Zuojia Factory."

"Don't even think about it! This is a hot-button matter. You can't refuse the Automobile Workers Union's move here! I can't help it!"

"I'm not asking for your help to refuse, and I know I can't refuse now. I just hope that I can ask you to help take care of it and don't let the union go too far! They have made a big fuss, and our business has been affected, and it will affect your Bank of Bath

It’s not a good thing, is it?”
