Chapter 463: The Japanese Economic Myth
Originally Wang Deming thought that the Soviet Union would try to stop them, but when Wang Deming and Diana's plane took off safely, they did not receive any news.

This made Wang Deming very curious. What were these high-ranking Soviet officials thinking?

Do you think doing business with me is a reward?
Do you think I can accept such poor conditions?

So that's why you were so confident in letting Diana and I leave?

Or do you believe in Diana's beauty trap?
After the plane took off, Wang Deming looked at Diana beside him. It was undeniable that Diana was indeed a beauty, especially a beauty with gentle charm.

But no matter how charming she is, she is nearly 50 years old.
I really don't understand.

The destination of the plane was Tokyo, Japan. Wang Deming's original purpose of this trip to the Soviet Union was to make some advance preparations.

The Soviet Union after its collapse is truly a good place to do business, of course, compared to before the collapse.

In Tokyo, Japan, Mitsui hosts Wang Deming and Diana at his manor.

There are rockeries, pine trees, ponds, stone steps, and a thatched hut in the middle of the courtyard, which is used to make tea. Mitsui is kneeling beside him, and a pretty woman in a kimono with a slender neck is making tea.

"Mr. Deming, you haven't been to Japan for a long time. Why did you suddenly come from the Soviet Union this time?"

Mitsui held the teacup and turned it clockwise, which was the tea ceremony passed down by the Japanese. He lowered his head and took a sip, then asked in confusion.

Wang Deming sat cross-legged, wearing a Hanfu costume that he had specially made for him. It had wide sleeves and a jade pendant and belt, and he looked like he was out of this world.

He smiled and said, "Of course it's for Soviet business."

Mitsui curled his lips, "Soviet Union!"

"Hey, what's the point of doing business with this kind of gangster?"

"Until now, they still occupy our four northern islands. They deserve to die of poverty!"

Wang Deming laughed, "I heard that Toshiba, which is under your Mitsui, secretly sold several five-axis CNC machine tools and made a lot of money. Be careful not to be discovered by Batumi."

"What?" San Jing couldn't sit still any longer. "Mr. Deming, how did you know that?"

"Of course I have friends in the Soviet Union." Wang Deming shook his sleeves, very casually, "I give you a piece of advice, don't trust them too much."

"Although I don't know who in the Soviet Union's upper echelons is on the American side, I can tell you for sure that there must be someone there."

"Be careful that the news is not leaked by the US spies inside the Soviet Union. If you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself."

San Jing quickly stood up, sat down opposite Wang Deming, knelt down and bowed deeply, "Mr. Deming, we have been good friends for so many years, please help us!"

"Please show us a way!"

"Many thanks!"

Looking at Mitsui who was kneeling in front of him like a dog, Wang Deming smiled in his heart. If he didn't give him a good beating, how could he cooperate with him next time?

Sima Guang's evaluation of the Japanese in "Zizhi Tongjian" is very accurate: they know small etiquette but not great righteousness, they are particular about small details but have no great virtue, they value trivial matters but neglect integrity and shame, they fear power but have no virtue, they will surely steal and invade when they are strong and will surely be submissive when they are weak.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you." Wang Deming came out from behind the table and helped Mitsui up with one hand. "We have been friends for many years and have many project collaborations in Tokyo."

"How can I watch you being sanctioned by the evil American Empire?" "It's just"

Mitsui knew in his heart that this was a benefit, and immediately showed an excited expression, "Mr. Deming, as long as our Mitsui family can do it, we are willing to pay any price!"

"As long as you open your mouth!"

Mitsui was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. How could the sale of five-axis digital machine tools to the Soviet Union be done without the approval of the Mitsui family?

It's just that they were really blinded by money at the time. The Soviet Union paid ten times the price, and the money didn't have to go through public funds; it went directly into their own pockets.

It's not that they didn't consider the matter at the beginning, it can only be said that wealth is tempting and they want to give it a try.

Now, they are very clear about the consequences of their failure!

The United States is like a hungry wolf, eyeing Japan covetously. Even when the Japanese Prime Minister visited the United States, there were eavesdropping devices installed in the plane.
Mitsui was sweating profusely and was extremely nervous. Now that Wang Deming knew about it, there was no guarantee that someone would not reveal it to the Americans later. So he had to feed Wang Deming.

Fortunately, he has been in contact with Wang Deming for more than ten years and still trusts Wang Deming's character.

It should be said that most Japanese, especially senior executives, have great trust in the character of the Chinese.

Seeing that Wang Deming was still hesitating, Mitsui quickly expressed his position again: "Mr. Deming, you are not only a friend of our Mitsui family, but also a friend of our Great Japanese Empire."

"This matter is not just a decision made by the Mitsui family alone!"

Wang Deming nodded slowly, and with one hand, he pulled San Jing up from the ground. "Haha, we have been friends for so many years, how could I not trust you?"

"I do have something I would like the help of my Japanese friends."

"You say!" Mitsui breathed a sigh of relief. He just had to state the conditions.

"I will use all my assets in Japan and Hong Kong to mortgage them into Japanese yen."

"Then the Japanese bank could not close my foreign exchange trading channel, allowing me to buy and sell foreign exchange at any time."

"Can this be done?"

Mitsui was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "No problem."

Mitsui was thinking, what is the origin of this Wang Deming? Is he really from China? How did he know that the United States was about to hold a meeting of five finance ministers? How did he know that the yen would definitely rise?

However, in Mitsui's view, everyone who trades in foreign exchange is speculating.
The Mitsui family, the Sumitomo family, the Mitsubishi family, etc., have already made their arrangements in the foreign exchange market, converting external capital into Japanese yen and placing it in banks, waiting for appreciation at any time.

It's not just the Japanese chaebol families, the major American conglomerates, and the old European chaebols, the Childs family as well.

Mitsui acted quickly and immediately arranged for people to connect with the people Wang Deming arranged from Hong Kong.

Only then did he realize that Wang Deming’s foundation in Hong Kong was no less profound than that of the Mitsui family.

Hong Kong is just a small place, but with four major trading companies and one bank, it is truly rich enough to rival a country.

After pledging a large amount of Japanese yen, Wang Deming also looked for counterparties in the foreign exchange market who were bullish on the Japanese yen. Unfortunately, he only found a few counterparties with positions worth only a few tens of billions of US dollars.

According to Soros, a future Quantum Fund investor, a position of only a few billion US dollars? What kind of position is this?
