Chapter 918 Westeros Effect 2. Zero

On April 20, early in the morning, the eyes of the world were focused on the Westeros system.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, two Boeing 767 private jets and three Boeing 747 business airliners took off from Los Angeles International Airport in sequence.

Target Beijing, China.

Now that the matter has been made public, the Westeros system is no longer obscured. Related media platforms such as TV and Internet have published press releases for the first time, and major media in North America, Asia, and Europe have quickly started to follow up.

The Westeros executive team, led by the Simon Westeros, will pay a two-day official visit to China on April 22 and April 23, as well as the new US Secretary of Commerce Mickey Kan Specially headed government delegations accompanied.

What the media first noticed was the huge scale of this visit.

Among them, the core of Westeros system includes 27 people, including Simon Westeros, Westeros President James Rebled, Igerett Ceo Jeff Bezos, Cisco Ceo John Money Perth, Cisco CEO John Chambers, Verizon Telecom CEO Raymond Smith, Highgate Pictures President Ella Doichman, Apollo Management Company Leon Black, Levison Group CEO Francis Levison, Nokia Chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila, etc.

As for the government team, headed by Minister of Commerce Mickey Kanter, there are 19 officials, large and small.

In addition, there are peripheral members surrounding the core team, such as assistants, security, and services, with a total of more than 400 people.

Finally, there are more than 300 media reporters from various parties in the United States, including newspapers, televisions, and Internet platforms. In addition to Westeros’ own platform reporters, other aspects are actively invited by the Westeros system.The main consideration is that such an important news event, rather than let the North American media play freely, it is better to lead actively.

All calculated, the total number of visiting teams is close to 800 people.

As for why the outside world noticed this in the first place and caused heated discussion, a simple set of comparisons is clear enough.

Beginning in 1972, successive presidents of the United States visited China. Richard Nixon’s visiting team was 300, Gerald Ford 450, Ronald Reagan 600, and George Bush 500.

Some people may question that Simon Westero is only a businessman after all. How can he compare with the President of the United States?

However, from various recent official statements issued by China and various preparations made by China’s capital region to welcome Simon Westero’s visit, it can be found that this country is fully responding to this visit in accordance with the highest specifications of the head of state level .

Anyone with a little knowledge knows that with the current strong influence of the Westeros system, Simon Westero is fully worthy of such reception specifications.

After all, Simon Westero currently has a personal net worth of more than US$1 trillion, which is higher than China’s annual GDP of US$730 billion in 1995, and the entire Westero system, in terms of scale and volume, is already equivalent to this world. The third largest economy after the United States and Japan.

After 13 hours.

At 23 o'clock in the middle of Western United States time and at two o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, China local time, Simon Westero's landline first landed at the Capital International Airport. When the pick-up screen from the Chinese side came, I saw a Chinese core deputy senior executive attending The pick-up ceremony thoroughly confirmed China's reception specifications for Westeros' visit.

Because according to diplomatic etiquette, the reception at the head of state level, such as the United States, will be picked up by the vice president on behalf of the president, as is the case in other countries.

For Simon Westero, the Chinese side really gave such specifications.

Globally, some regular media are shocked by the height of a 28-year-old young man who is unconsciously already.The unscrupulous media is a question in an uproar. How is Simon Westero qualified? Is he the real president of the United States?

Immediately after,

April 22.

In the morning, a welcome ceremony was held in the General Assembly Hall and talks were held.In the afternoon, visit the Forbidden City together.In the evening, the state banquet.

April 23.

In the morning, a large-scale business cooperation agreement was signed, involving all aspects of real estate, technology, and finance.In the afternoon, a forum on politics and business.In the evening, literary and artistic performances.

The two-day compact schedule continued, and the media found that compared with the reception of the head of state, the only difference in the entire reception process of Simon Westero's visit was that they did not review the honor of the three armed forces together. After all, this is a regular country and Diplomatic etiquette between countries.

However, with the exception of a few media that are still loud and noisy, there is not much ridicule for rendering at this time.

because.

Simon Westero's impact on this visit occurred almost immediately.

Westeros effect.

That's right, the Westeros effect that has frightened Japan every time after all these years.

This time, not only Japan, but most countries in Asia except China failed to escape.

On April 22, the first day of the opening week of the new week, since 1996, it has barely managed to break free of the Japanese stock market that plunged last year. After the opening, it sharply turned down. The deepest decline on Monday was once 63, and the decline at the closing day was as high as 49. 16893 points fell to 16065 points.

At the same time, the stock markets of Asian countries such as South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia have plunged, and the general declines are all around 5, among which the decline of the Korean stock market is as high as 76, which is simply unbearable.

On April 23, accompanied by a large number of urgently issued various statements stabilizing the market, Southeast Asian countries that thought that yesterday's plunge had passed found themselves wrong.Not only did the expected rebound not come, as the Westeros delegation signed a series of cooperation agreements with China, the stock market curves of Southeast Asian countries did not even have a tendency to rise, and they still plunged into the water.

First of all, Japan has the largest volume.

Throughout the day on Tuesday, the Nikkei 225 index plunged by 63 again, and it had dropped to 15053 points at the close of the day. It fell 109 points in two days. According to the current momentum, even if it probes down to 05, the Japanese stock market will fall to the beginning of last year. In the darkest period after the Great Hanshin Earthquake and the Sarin gas incident, the Japanese stock market fell back below 15,000 for the first time in ten years after it rushed to 15,000 in the 1980s.

Many people think that this kind of thing will not happen again. However, in just two days, the Nikkei 225 index has been hovering around the 15,000 threshold.

South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and other countries also failed to escape. Throughout the day on Tuesday, the stock markets of other Asian countries other than China fell by more than 7, which is even worse than Monday.

The stark contrast to other Asian countries is undoubtedly the gradually improved Chinese stock market.

Over the course of two days, China's Shanghai Composite Index has skyrocketed by 136, from 765 points at the opening of Monday to 869 points.

Similarly, in North America, the Dow and Nasdaq both made new highs. The Dow Jones index has risen 37 times for two consecutive days, from 6139 points to 6365 points.The Nasdaq index's two-day gain also reached 43, from 3,416 points to 3,562 points.

Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden financial shock.

After careful analysis, everything is so logical.

The earliest thing can be traced back to the end of World War II, first of all, Japan, relying on the occasion of the Korean War and the deliberate support of the United States, relying on a large number of war orders to quickly restore the economy.Then, during the Cold War, East and West confronted each other. Out of the need to siege, Southeast Asian countries received a lot of economic assistance from the United States and Japan. The economy developed rapidly, and regional economic giants such as the Asian Four Little Dragons and the Asian Four Little Tigers appeared one after another.

All this until the nineties.

To be precise, it was 1992.

Prior to this, China's opening policy has been in a state of sway. Although the economy is recovering rapidly, overseas capital has always worried about China's business environment.But China, which has been weak for too long, needs a lot of foreign investment to develop, so it has only appeared in the 1990s that all kinds of lost principles have been accommodated.

Then, in 1992, the tone was completely set. In 1994, China’s “Company Law”, “Labor Law”, and “Intellectual Property Protection Law” were promulgated, proclaiming that China entered the first year of the market economy. Economic confidence has risen again.

However, the negative effects accumulated over a long period of time cannot be eliminated immediately.In the original time and space, attracting foreign capital to actively invest in China was also a relatively slow process. It was not until the millennium that China entered the World Trade Organization before entering another stage.

This time, Simon's visit to China and the large number of cooperation agreements signed by the Westeros system with China openly can be said without exaggeration, directly defusing international capital's concerns about investing in China.

The rapid rise of the Westeros system in ten years is enough to cover such guarantees.

Putting aside political concerns, looking at China, a country with a population of 1 billion, the world’s largest population, has a vast territory, and is rich in human resources and natural resources.The economy is in a period of rapid growth, and all walks of life are full of opportunities. The standard blue ocean market also has many preferential policies for foreign investment.

Such a country can certainly invest without hesitation.

Capital is also limited.

With the huge size of China, when a large amount of capital originally intended to invest in Asia began to flow in, the other countries in Asia were the first to bear the brunt.

Economically developed Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc., will not only encounter competition from European and American capital in China in terms of investment, including exports of these countries, but will also encounter competition from more powerful European and American companies in China.The average economic level is stronger than China's Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries. The low-end manufacturing industry, which has a large industry share, will inevitably be hit by China's relatively lower cost, and it will fall into a recession because of the loss of competitiveness.

Thus, with Simon Westero's visit to China, the capital market gave the most direct feedback.

In the original space and time, the development of other Asian countries basically followed this trend.

The two decades of Japan’s loss may have internal reasons for improper domestic economic policies, but it is not because of the rise of China that has taken away the national games.As for Southeast Asian countries, even after the Asian economic crisis and the rise of China, they basically lost their sense of international presence.

Simon's visit to China just catalyzed the trend in the coming years.As a result, the stock markets of these countries fell across the board.

After the two-day official visit ended, Simon directly disappeared into public view.

Faced with media inquiries, the official statement of the Westeros system was that the two began private vacations, and did not want to be disturbed. According to various sources, the couple is clearly still in China.

This is undoubtedly a big difference.

Free.

If a real head of state paid a state visit, how could he disappear if he wanted to disappear?Even if you briefly avoid the spotlight, no matter where you go, no matter what you do, there will be a special record.Maybe the outside world will envy the scenery, but the talents in the bureau understand that this feeling of not having a little private time is actually not good at all.

With the cooperation of China, the couple wanted to avoid the attention of the outside world, as if they only read a mantra, and then disappeared.

No one can find it.

This has greatly relieved other Asian countries.

Sure enough, the Westeros avoided the public view, and the Westero effect seemed to disappear. On Wednesday, after many people inevitably stayed up all night, the Japanese stock market finally did not turn around after the opening day, and returned to 15000. The darkness within the point, but a rebound, the stock markets of other Asian countries may have risen and fallen, and the overall is far less tragic than the previous two days.

In order to make sure that this "good" will not be interrupted, even many people directly contacted the Westeros system for testing. The current Prime Minister of Japan, Ryutaro Hashimoto, also called the James Rebold who is still in China. Inquiring about Simon’s itinerary, he even abandon the subtlety of the Orientals very frankly and sincerely begging Mr. Westeros not to show up in the near future.

Even in order to show the good, it also brought out the real benefits.

As long as Simon Westero no longer makes public appearances in the near future, the three companies Sony, Panasonic, and Canon in Japan can also waive the patent infringement lawsuit that is being initiated against Tinkerbair regarding the production of digital cameras and digital video cameras. Reach a settlement.

In fact, this is both human and level.

After all, Tinkerbair was established too short and did not have deep roots in the technical layout of established Japanese electronics manufacturers. Until now, many components of Tinkerbearer have to be purchased from these companies.With the rapid rise of Tincobair, manufacturers such as Sony felt threatened and began to use patented weapons to try to suppress it in recent years.

Unfortunately, the effect is obviously not great.

After all, the main market for Tinkerbal products is still concentrated in the United States. Even if Japanese companies dominate, but the US government is crazy, it will suppress a cutting-edge electronic giant that has grown up in China according to the wishes of the Japanese.

The reputation of the Japanese is quite good.

Simon didn't plan to show up, and since the other party gave benefits, he also asked James to give a positive answer.

Although Simon was invisible directly after ending the official schedule, the huge Westeros delegation and the US government team did not leave immediately. They were still in consultation and exchanges with China in various aspects. According to personal work arrangements, it is expected that Stay for about a week.Even though various agreements have been reached before, after all, time is too tight and many details need to be improved.

On the other hand, the impact of Simon's visit to Southeast Asia was "immediate."The same is true in China.

The growth of the Chinese stock market is still second.

In the following days, many investment projects in China were being negotiated. The progress of negotiations was generally accelerated. Some investments that were only intended were also entered into the formal negotiation stage. Many countries in North America, Europe, Latin America and even Africa began to look for investment missions to China. .

At this point in time, no one questioned whether China’s high-standard reception of Simon Westero was a big deal.

If you can, even the standard reception of alien visitors is no problem.

Ok.

Of course, except for other countries in Asia that have just experienced a financial turmoil and are still apprehensive.
