Chapter 1,558 Reagan wants to take action
Of course, the UK also has an electronics industry. Otherwise, if Alan Wilson had been busy for so many years, it would be the same as history.
However, the UK has a problem with the UK, which is that they are expensive. Take electrical appliances as an example. Malaya and Xiangjiang make color TV sets and radios, while the UK makes home theaters and commercial refrigerators.
Of course, when I come to the United States this time, I can’t just take a real vacation. I also want to see what level the CDs in the United States have reached, for example, whether they are ready to be used as VCDs.
Alan Wilson can still recall that VCD was seized by a big country and became a rare original product in the early days. Although the technology was purchased from the United States, it is undeniable that the definition of invention is to produce a finished product rather than a technology. VCD was indeed popular for a while.
.
Alan Wilson also wanted to seize the opportunity. He knew very well that VCD would be eliminated soon after it did not become popular for a few years. He just wanted to use this to develop the British semiconductor industry. If one product became popular for a few years, it would be enough to make the British semiconductor industry popular.
Semiconductors are on the right track, and the rest is a matter of tireless investment.
First of all, it is impossible for him to make that stupid mistake, that is, lack of capital and large-volume expansion of production, which leads to the inability to share costs, resulting in high costs. At the same time, he has not worked hard on patents, resulting in many competitors.
Appliances, which seem cheap, can make a lot of money at special times. Alan Wilson can remember that when he was a child, his family spent the same amount of money on buying a house and buying a color TV. If his memory did not lie to him, that is
A color TV is equal to a house.
The United States is a big country in electronics, and Alan Wilson wants to come and inspect it this time. Of course, Europe is not without companies in this field, including Philips. He will also inspect the Netherlands after he returns.
Nowadays, there are definitely many countries promoting CDs. This cannot ignore Japan, another electronic powerhouse, but there is no need for Sony to go there. However, Alan Wilson will not forget Japan as a country. On the next day, he lamented that Japanese manufacturing is devouring the world.
Did Devour not consume the world?
The European market has long imposed restrictions on Japan, but the supreme authority is not lying. For Americans, the United States is the world, and the Celestial Kingdom is a common thought when it is a hegemon. This cannot be used to criticize a certain country.
arms.
"We can't compete with Japan. It seems that for at least 20 years, Japan will be the largest economy in the world." Alan Wilson began to compare Japan's economic strength in front of Reagan, who had just come to power and was determined to do something big.
Influence.
In 1980, which was last year, Japan had undisputedly surpassed the United Kingdom for two consecutive years and became the second largest economy in the free world. After all, it had twice the population. Although he never forgot Japan,
There is no way that the British and the 50 million Japanese can be one-on-one, and the supreme authority should even out the remaining 50 million gap.
This is unrealistic. Japan finally surpassed the UK by virtue of its size advantage, but Alan Wilson is not sad. Without him, it would not be Japan's problem. What the UK should worry about at this point in time is not to be surpassed by Italy.
Even the third-ranked position in Europe is no longer secure.
After hearing what his old friend said, Reagan's expression changed a bit, and then he said, "Japan's disregard of intellectual property rights and its dumping strategy against the United States must be stopped. American citizens are already incredibly angry."
It’s done! As soon as Alan Wilson heard this set of rhetoric, he knew that Japan’s good days were over. Reagan’s stance was different from that of previous US presidents. The United States was about to start getting serious. Alan Wilson had been ignoring it for so many years.
Intellectual property issues, but never received a response.
But Reagan's stance this time was completely different. From this perspective, Reagan's coming to power is not all bad, but it mainly depends on how you look at it.
At least it will be tough on Japan, which has already dealt a major blow to the U.S. auto industry. On this issue, Reagan's coming to power is very popular.
The perceptions of Britain and Japan are completely different from a third-party perspective. As the former hegemon, Britain only continued to operate by guarding its ancestral property for decades after the war.
From the perspective of other countries, Britain was originally very strong, but now it only maintains a considerable handicap. It is acceptable that it has not completely collapsed.
But Japan is different. Japan, a defeated country, is the result of American laissez-faire. Now it is preparing to destroy American jobs. This is intolerable.
Moreover, in terms of business strategy, the UK has always taken a high-end route and has always strictly adhered to the highest overall profit part. If ordinary shipbuilding is not good, it will go all out to build yachts. The UK sells the most expensive cars of the same level.
After all, the British population is just that. Although many workers in sunset industries are unemployed this time, the problem is still controllable. The population of the United States is four times that of the United Kingdom. The automobile industry can starve the United States to death if it only eats high-end products. The United States is indeed forcing
The price is incomparable with that of old Europe, cars are more expensive than those in England, and shirts are the same as those sold in France. Who is going to buy them?
The current problems in the United States, Alan Wilson has a clear mind, are nothing more than two points, industrial protection and harvesting other economies. They are very familiar and have been used again by the United States more than 40 years later.
In fact, the general environment is pretty much the same. Forty years later, Russia was still unwilling to bow its head. A certain big country had developed competitiveness, and there were only so many markets in the world.
Europe is the forefront of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. If the United States wants to strike hard at Europe at this time, and European countries cannot maintain their economic advantages over Eastern Europe and cannot stand proudly, then they may really consider defecting to the Soviet Union. After all,
The electoral system is not impeccable. No matter how many pressure relief valves are installed, if there is a problem with the fundamentals, it will be difficult to change.
Therefore, the United States must not be able to target Europe, and can only choose a secondary direction. Harvesting once can still maintain a decent life compared with other regions. The fattest one is of course Japan. Alan Wilson has been arranging and planning for many years with Japan.
To engage in industrial competition is to wait for the United States' tolerance to reach its extreme.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Japan is at the forefront of the Cold War, the United States may have changes. Then another option is Latin America. This place where the United States has the greatest influence is actually likely to be two
There is no escape from any place, it is just a question of who will be first and who will be last within a few years.
In terms of industrial protection, obviously through Reagan's dialogue, Alan Wilson knew that this was going to be serious, and a real trade war would definitely begin soon. As for harvesting, Latin America, the American private territory, absolutely cannot escape, and only by advancing at the same time can the United States' problems be solved.
.
Leaving the remaining time for Mrs. Thatcher to implement the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson went to visit the American semiconductor industry.
The old man arranged two tour guides for him, both of whom were female, Lana Turner's daughter Cheryl, and he didn't know the other one, but he seemed to have a good relationship with her.
Cheryl is the illegitimate daughter that Alan Wilson has admitted personally, but that is a red herring, but he is really very good to Cheryl. He took good care of her when he was in Europe, which is no worse than his own daughter.
Now, this legendary celebrity daughter who killed her enemies at a young age in order to protect her mother has embarked on a different path.
Now the leader of the American feminist movement, Lana Turner has entered politics and started a family. Lana Turner is pleased to see her daughter's development.
Alan Wilson was also very pleased. He kept teasing Cheryl as a good daughter. The woman next to her was surprised. Based on her understanding of Cheryl, even the other party's husband did not joke so easily.
"When I was traveling in Europe, Sir took great care of me and treated me as his own daughter." Cheryl replied without any embarrassment, "When someone asked Sir, he said I was his illegitimate daughter."
"It turns out there is such a wonderful experience, I have never heard of you talking about it before." Pelosi sighed with a smile, and the jealousy in her eyes flashed away. The age difference between the two was not big, but Cheryl has become a feminist
Leader, Idaho House of Representatives, but she still continues to work hard in politics.
This is of course due to the supreme authority in the front. Cheryl is definitely treated as a biological daughter in this regard. After expressing his desire to return to the United States, Alan Wilson began to plan how to borrow Cheryl's childhood skills to protect her mother from killing enemies.
His deeds are a big deal. If he were elected as a senator, he would definitely not put in any effort. It would be too difficult.
However, although it is not easy to elect a member of the House of Representatives, you still need to work hard. Otherwise, how would the beautiful child raised by Pauline Godard know Cheryl? Elections cost money, and they require a lot of money.
Compared with the supreme authority that truly benefits the country, the fake Prime Minister Thatcher is not without merit. In terms of promoting neoliberalism, Reagan attaches great importance to the advice of Mrs. Thatcher who has been Prime Minister for two years. The most important thing is that
As a woman, Mrs. Thatcher would never admit that she was wrong.
This firm attitude and the statement that the problems facing the UK were minor gave great encouragement to President Reagan, who was also preparing to implement Reaganomics, and greatly increased his confidence.
The false US president's increased confidence made Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan, who was truly prepared to promote Reaganomics, very pleased. If he knew that the British Prime Minister's visit had this effect, he would be more attentive and finalize the matter with the British Cabinet Secretary earlier.
, instead of waiting until one month after the president takes office.
The one-week visit was a quick one, and Alan Wilson had gained a lot. He was very satisfied with the living conditions of his son and his illegitimate daughter. As for the female Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives decades later, he had finished visiting the semiconductor industry.
Only then did I know, but they were minor characters and not worth caring about. When he and McCarthy were drinking and chatting, Reagan was just forty years old and he was still standing as a henchman.
On the occasion of parting, Alan Wilson bid farewell to the two Reagans, expressing his original intention to defend the special relationship between Britain and the United States. The two sides said goodbye amicably, and the special transatlantic relationship was once again defended.
"When you come back to the United States, it's like going home." Mrs. Thatcher said in a strange tone. She didn't expect this man to know so many people in the United States. He also had good rapport with the opposite sex. He even knew Reagan's wife.
