Bitcoin, a huge conspiracy of the Japanese consortium! (depth)
Japan is a very two-sided nation, and the two personalities of "chrysanthemum" and "knife" are thoroughly blended: peaceful and belligerent, arrogant and courteous, rigid and changeable, tame and stubborn...
Especially after the two great strikes of "World War II" and "Plaza Agreement", Japan changed its strategy to cover up the "low desire society" and build a warehouse in the open.
Many people think that Japan is a loyal follower of the United States, but they do not know that Japan has been working hard, grinding its knives quietly, and coveting the United States...
Of course, Japan has never given up its dream of world hegemony, and is now ready to seek world hegemony for the third time. Japan's strategy is becoming more and more exposed, and its secret weapons have already been seen as a dagger. We must be aware and vigilant!
As we all know, the strong starting point of Japan is the Meiji Restoration. The Meiji Restoration is that the Japanese take the initiative to learn from the West when they see the strength of the West. But many people don't know that the early stage of the Meiji Restoration in Japan is to learn from the West, while the middle and late stage is to learn from the Spring and Autumn Period of China, which is called Wang Zheng Restoration.
Japan's strength comes from the idea of "one family under the sun" in China.
Because Japan has always been the successor of Oriental civilization, after all, there are essential differences between oriental civilization and Western civilization. Oriental civilization originates from farming, stresses the unity of nature and advocates a stable social order, while western civilization originates from the sea, has always been in a mobile state, stresses instantaneity and conquerability.
The Japanese still advocate order and stability in their bones, which determines that Japan has embarked on a road of imitating the West but retaining the Oriental characteristics.
To make a comparison:
The greatest feature of Japanese enterprises'overseas investment strategy is that they generally focus on "commercial rights", while the overseas strategies of other countries mostly focus on "equity".
The United States is the godfather of the "equity" model, and China's strategic thinking of overseas M&A is constantly learning this model. What he values is absolute equity, so he is more accustomed to deciding whether to buy a company from the profitability of financial statements. This mode makes Chinese companies eager to make quick profits while entering overseas, but lacks precise layout.
The so-called "commercial right" model is to see the core position of the prey invested in in its industrial chain, and then to participate in the joint venture, and then through the dilution of shares, slowly encroach on the entire industrial chain, which is the way of mergers and acquisitions of Japanese enterprises.
"Equity" model is to seek short-term interests, pay attention to fast, cruel, accurate; the "commercial power" model is to seek long-term interests, pay attention to long-term flow.
Americans think that controlling a business is to control it, but Japanese don't think so. They control the upstream and market of resources through business associations.
For example, the registered capital of Panasonic Electric Appliance China Ltd. was $3 million in 2003, and by 2006, the number had soared 10 times. Panasonic used the money to dilute the shares of its Chinese partners and turn their original joint venture factory into a sole proprietorship. For Chinese partners, they may have earned a lot of cash, but the sales channels and networks they have built over the years have been handed over to Panasonic.
Through equity, Japan enters a country's industrial market with very low equity, and encourages the local government to promote the "domestic" industry. Through very low equity exposure, Japan enters the market and imports its own technology, industry, finance and trade rapidly, making it a real controller behind the national industry.
For example, Saudi Arabia has leapt from a country that can only export oil resources to a country with top petrochemical technology and become the largest petrochemical industry country. Many people, including the industry, fail to understand who provided the relevant industrial facilities in the country, such as petrochemical technology, petrochemical industry, petrochemical power plants, seawater desalination equipment, etc. The answer is that Mitsui and Mitsubishi are the leaders of the country's petrochemical industry, that is, the masters of commercial rights.
The idea of commercial power is the essence of ancient Chinese commercial civilization. In ancient China, it has been taboo for "two words of Commerce". Chinese people care about the realm of "elephant invisibility". They prefer to infiltrate the core idea of "business" into every corner of society, just like putting a drop of water into the sea, seemingly not exist, but always exist.
Deeply baptized by ancient Chinese civilization, the Japanese, taking advantage of their unique understanding of "commerce" ideology, constantly build and refine various long-term stable cooperative relations in society, including long-term market channels, long-term supply chain, long-term financing channels and so on. In this business climate, stability is the first, occupancy is the second, and profit margin is the third. Only in this way can we achieve a long flow of water.
However, the idea of "equity" in western commercial civilization is often more conducive to the plundering of the wealth of the working class by the wealthy, because the changes of Western society are too fast and the fluidity of wealth is too strong, they always have the taste of timely entertainment.
Having understood "commercial rights", let's take a look at "commercial associations".
The core purpose of commercial rights is to enable everyone to truly "co-exist and co-prosper", so "co-exist and co-prosper" is a universal value in Japan.
The Japanese consortium uses this logic to establish a huge production system in society, to divide labor and cooperate, to avoid competition and to strive for win-win results. With manufacturing enterprises as weapons, the Japanese consortium controls the business layout of all links of the global industrial chain under unified integration, constantly establishes a huge production system, divides labor and cooperates, avoids competition and strives for win-win situation. So Japanese companies seldom fight alone and are very risk-resistant. From the perspective of industrial layout, Japanese companies like to give full play to the clustering effect, such as Panasonic's more than 60 factories in China are concentrated in the southeastern coastal areas.
The Japanese consortium is usually composed of three core parts: the host bank, the comprehensive business association and the large manufacturing enterprise. Take Mitsui Consortium as an example, Cherry Blossom Bank is its host bank, Mitsui Property is a comprehensive business association, while manufacturing industries such as Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic Electric Appliances, Toyota Motor and so on are just brand performers that the consortium pushes to consumers.
At present, the leading forces in Japan's economy are the six famous consortia, namely Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanhe and First Advocate Bank. The predecessors of these six consortiums are the four famous Japanese plutocrats, Anta, Mitsui, Sumitomo and Mitsubishi. After World War II, these chaebols apparently collapsed, but in fact, after the dissolution of the various enterprises in the form of "executive council" to maintain long-term cooperative relations. There is a loose association among the major member enterprises.
Japan's businesses, ostensibly competitive, are in fact continuing to work together. For example, when Mitsui is doing bulk trade, Mitsubishi and Marubeni seem to be competing, but in fact, the person in charge of each month should sit together to discuss the changes in the market. They have their own customer groups and regions through a period of competition, so sometimes there are conflicts in the process of competition, but they will coordinate.
If there is a conflict in the distribution of profits, sit down and negotiate. Let's sit down and divide the market. For example, when NEC went to occupy the Chinese market, Toshiba went to Vietnam to develop. At the beginning, it is possible to fight in a market and coordinate between enterprises at a certain time. This coordination does not necessarily involve business associations, and large enterprises will also sit down and coordinate.
Taking the steel industry as an example, Japan's iron and steel enterprises have directly or indirectly participated in iron ore deposits in Brazil, Australia and other countries for more than 30 years, controlling the upstream resources of the iron and steel industry, thus hampering the development of iron and steel enterprises in China and other Asian countries.
For example, Sony's joint investment with Mitsui has become more and more close. This close relationship is not an American-style holding relationship, but a mutual shareholding or joint investment. Just like a family, if two children get married, are two family members? In fact, that's the relationship. Not only a couple of children, I have ten sons, he has ten daughters, more than a couple in marriage, the family is closer.
These enterprises interweave into a huge business network through cross-shareholding and mutual trusteeship. Their ideal is to encroach on all aspects of their industry. Of course, apart from capital relations, long-term cooperation makes them like a family. When everyone criticizes Japanese business culture for attaching importance to interpersonal relationships and ignoring rules, few of them do so. People realize that it is the long-term and stable cooperation that has quietly built a huge overseas business empire.
The Japanese consortium can be called a monogamous system. A comprehensive business association with two consortiums in operation began to compete and merged slowly. The consortium is a large family: the father is the host bank, the mother is the comprehensive business association, the children are the industry, the mother breeds the industry and then continues to cultivate, provide services to provide consortia, grow up to return to the object, that is, financial services.
The main task of business associations is to integrate the industrial chain. Now China's economic production has become more and more fragmented. Japanese business associations organize these industries and link these enterprises through trade and investment. It is easy to carry out large-scale production. Originally, this enterprise and that enterprise did not have much connection, but because the business association invested 10% in it, in fact, through the business association has a relationship.
And their investments are not single-line. Sometimes they invest a part here and another part there. They have investment relations between them, so they become a network. Although only 10% of the investment, but can help you weave the network, and there are information sources, can put these information together, from which business opportunities can be found.
After World War II, Japan's plutocrats were torn apart, and in fact they were still connected to each other. The disbandment of the family was only the people of the family at that time. The people of the family were the capitalists, not the actual operators. The managers were managers. The managers did not disband, and usually had contacts. Finally, a consortium was formed. It was these managers who manipulated these enterprises.
Japan's consortium has now formed an industrial assembly network and a community of interests, which is a symbiotic relationship. With the development of internationalization, the consortium is becoming more and more internationalized. Now many Japanese do not know the existence of consortia and become more and more invisible.
Japan follows the pattern of putting finance into production, expanding production, expanding global market, occupying market and gaining profits. The United States is more inclined to use finance as a means of making profits through various derivatives.
Japan's model guarantees the stability of social order. For example, Japan's large companies have strong inheritance, which is basically brought out by teachers and apprentices. In this way, people will not be so impetuous, everyone is anxious society, it is difficult to produce good products.
Confucian culture in China is constantly learning the essence of various orders, the Japanese regard the country as a large enterprise, if a large enterprise has become a country.
Today, Japan as a whole is actually a company. They are connected behind the scenes. This is a planned market economy and a comprehensive market economy complex.
So Japan seemingly is a capitalist country, in fact, in accordance with the way of the Big Commune in building the country, Japanese textbooks call themselves: Japanese-type "socialism".
Nowadays, if Chinese enterprises want to acquire overseas companies, many of them have to rely on American investment banks to complete the acquisition, which is bound to face great risks, because our pricing and financial system will be fully displayed in front of American investment banks. When Japanese companies make overseas M&As, they seldom use American investment banks. They rely solely on integrated businesses to complete M&As.
The powerful power of the Japanese model, we may get a revelation from the Japanese model, whether China should have a model of its own, but different from the United States model? This model has strong financial support, with well-informed business associations as pioneers, and excellent manufacturing enterprises to attack the city strategy. Does this business model chill the American economic missionaries?
If designed according to the economic system of the United States, finance and commerce are independent, even fighting each other. It is not a symbiotic system for businesses to find ways to gain commercial profits and oppress industrial profits. The ideal model should be that commercial support industry is bigger, and then benefit from the process of industry bigger and stronger.
Because Japanese consortia are more permeable, they prefer to hide behind as invisible giants. There are many invisible giants in Japan, such as Keynes.
Keats is well-known in the field of factory automation in the world, especially in the field of sensors. 70% of its products are innovative in the world, which brings high added value.
Today, it has more than 200 offices in more than 45 countries and regions worldwide, and employs more than 5,000 people worldwide. From the world 500 mandatory manufacturing enterprises to small and micro enterprises, many of them use its solutions.
Keynes has been praised by Business Weekly as one of the 1,000 most valuable companies in the world. For seven consecutive years, Keynes has been listed in Forbes magazine's Global Most Innovative Companies List.
The company's founder, Takeo Fujizaki, himself is very low-key, making so much money in China, but few people know it exists. This is the real invisible giant.
So, we are all singing Japan down now, and the Japanese are crying poor, but in fact, they know very well that they are not poor, they are just to dispel the hostility of others. Japan has been very willing to accept people talking about their depression. Is it not a kind of hardship? It has a very hidden strategic purpose.
While many countries are still keen to use economic data such as GDP, import and export volume to show their economic strength, Japan has begun to learn to cover up its real economic influence.
If a person flaunts all day, he will certainly be hated. The Japanese have really learned the essence of the Chinese thought inside the outer circle.
Therefore, Japan is a country that can not be underestimated!
1: Bitcoin
In the 1980s, Japan's economy grew so fast that it was close to the United States. By 1985, Japan had replaced the United States as the world's largest creditor country, and Japanese-made products flooded the world.
The crazy expansion of Japanese capital has made Americans exclaim, "Japan will occupy the United States peacefully!"
In the face of the strong rise of Japan's economy, the United States could not sit still and forced Japan to sign the Plaza Agreement. This is the turning point of Japan's economy, and then Japan fell into a decade of economic stagnation, that is, the "lost decade".
During World War II, Japan tried to conquer the world by military means, but ended in total failure. This time Japan's attempt to conquer the world economically failed again. This time, Japan is fully awake. It understands a truth: it is not feasible to fight for world hegemony.
As a result, Japan began to hide its glory, but it still did not give up that "dream".
In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the United States, and the global economy was affected. This great crisis opened up new opportunities for the Japanese.
The essence of all economic crises comes from the credit crisis of money issuing institutions. In 2009, the Japanese "Nakamoto" proposed a decentralized currency, Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not issued by a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. The total number of Bitcoins will be permanently limited to 21 million.
Bitcoin generates new bitcoins by "mining". The so-called "mining" essentially uses computer programs to ensure the consistency of the distributed accounting system in the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin can be used to cash most countries'currencies. Users can use Bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment in online games, and so on. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use Bitcoin to buy real-life items.
Undoubtedly, this is a huge challenge to the dollar, the traditional world currency!
More importantly, because it is stored in many computers around the world, no powerful force can erase it from the earth.
So, which country in the world most esteems virtual currency? No doubt, of course, Japan!
In September 1998, a researcher under the Mitsui Consortium of Japan published the book "Declaration of War against the United States: Japan's Economy, Liberated from the Status of Financial Slaves in the United States", which is directed at the hegemony of the United States under the theme of Japan's economic strategy.
As a scarce resource in the Internet era, Bitcoin is regarded by Japan as a storage means of future value. Compared with gold dollar/oil, it is not limited by any time and space. It has gold scarcity and is easier to split than gold, which is conducive to transfer transactions. At the same time, it is not issued as US dollar. So more epoch-making sense, Japan as a strategic resource!
As the third largest economy in the world, Japan is also the first country to provide legal protection for digital currency exchanges. In 2017, the Japanese government amended the Capital Settlement Act, recognizing Bitcoin as a legal payment method, and formulated a series of standards and rules for exchanges. Subsequently, the Japanese government formally terminated the 8% consumption tax required to buy Bitcoin on the exchange.
At the same time, the Sector Chain Strategy Department, which combines Mizuho Group, the second largest financial institution in Japan, with many FinTech companies, has emerged as the core organization of the study of the Japanese Sector Chain.
This is the world's first national block chain, KYC (Know Your Customer). This high-level confirmation mechanism was jointly completed by three major Japanese banks (Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Mitsui) and Deloitte at FinTech Experimental Center, which occupied the commanding heights of the global block chain.
Today, the yen has become the main French currency for Bitcoin pricing, accounting for 65% of Bitcoin's global trading volume, nearly three times that of the second dollar. Japan has won the top spot in the global bitcoin market, and its position is hard to shake.
Japan has GMO click, the world's largest retail foreign exchange trader, which also has a virtual currency licence, with a monthly foreign exchange volume of up to $1 trillion.
The Japan Financial Services Authority is developing a block-chain-driven platform that will enable Japanese customers to share personal information instantly between banks and financial institutions.
Bitflyer, Japan's largest virtual currency exchange, currently has more than 800,000 people active, with 24-hour trading volume of nearly 400,000 bitcoins.
Deutsche Bank's financial experts report that the crazy growth of bitcoin in recent years is mainly driven by the Japanese. The real driving force behind bitcoin is the Japanese, who are keen to overthrow the US dollar hegemony with virtual currency.
Japan's private enthusiasm for virtual money is also high. China advocates mobile payment while Japan advocates virtual money. This is why Japan seems indifferent when China has entered the era of "no cash", because it has chosen another new financial path.
In many shopping malls in Japan, bitcoin can be paid for. The signs in the shopping malls are everywhere indicating "bitcoin payment" slogans, which are just as common as WeChat payment / Alipay payment in China. Unlike our scan code payment, the real time exchange rate of bitcoins and yen will be displayed before the Japanese scan code, which will facilitate the confirmation of businesses and customers. Although there is an additional process of checking the exchange rate, in the actual experience, bitcoin sweep payment gives people the feeling of "seconds over".
Even when walking on the streets of Tokyo, you can often see vehicles passing by with advertisements on bitFlyer, Japan's largest trading platform.
When China entered the era of mobile payment, Japan also quietly entered the era of virtual payment.
Of course, Japan has not abandoned its mobile payment. Japan plans to raise the proportion of cash-free settlement to 40% by the time of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, but this move is aimed at clearing the obstacles for further implementation of virtual currency payment.
There are also a group of housewives in China and Japan, known as "Mrs. Watanabe" ("Watanabe" is a common surname in Japan), who have a very keen sense of investment and will start quickly when they see the opportunity.
Because of Japan's long-standing policy of low or zero interest rates, Mrs Watanabe needs to increase income for her family through various investments. Today in Japan, Mrs Watanabe has replaced bankers as the main player in the digital asset market. They use family funds to invest in Bitcoin to increase their value.
With the cooperation of the Japanese government and the Japanese people, Japanese businessmen also vigorously promote Bitcoin payment. Bic Camera, for example, is a comprehensive appliance store, equivalent to Suning, China. To encourage customers to pay in Bitcoin, Bic Camera also offers an additional 5% discount. It is worth mentioning, for example, that foreign tourists can enjoy an 8% excise tax exemption if they show their passports.
Japan's entertainment industry is also actively cooperating with the national strategy, very supportive of virtual currency, Japan has a combination called "virtual currency girl" and has also conducted a public performance.
The members of the group are named after eight virtual encrypted currencies: BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (ETH), ADA (Ada) and so on. Members of the magic group said they would promote knowledge of digital money through entertainment. Of course, they would also accept digital money to buy concert tickets and related peripherals.
Japanese real estate began to accept Bitcoin, such as Yitanzi, a real estate company in Tokyo, which sold a commercial building for 547 Bitcoins, converted into dollars, for about $6 million, or nearly 50 million yuan.
GMO, a well-known Japanese Internet company, has also made a decision to pay employees of its subsidiaries in the form of Bitcoin. GMO also provides a 10% bonus to employees willing to try, which can compensate for the loss caused by the price fluctuation of Bitcoin. GMO said it hoped to improve its cognitive ability through the actual use of digital money.
The financial system of Japanese consortium is itself the philosophy of block chain. The major domestic consortia and Internet companies are all involved in the industry of block chain. They have laid out block chain technology in exchange, investment bank, cross-border payment and other fields. Grab the height of global block chain.
Japan Block Chain Association (JBA), founded in 2014, has more than 100 members, including Sumitomo Mitsui Bank and many other consortia.
Japan also has the Block Chain Alliance, which has rapidly exceeded 100 member organizations, including Microsoft Japan, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mitsui Sumotomo, Bitbank and ConsenSys.
Japan's major consortiums have different directions in the block chain, basically in-depth development. For example, Sumitomo Mitsui selected cross-border issues to study how to apply the block chain technology to complex cross-border transaction issues, and completed the cross-border transaction experiment of the whole block chain at the end of March 2018.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group has jointly developed an infrastructure based on block chains to issue, transfer and collect electronic cheques with Hitachi Group of Japan.
As a well-known Japanese consortium, SBI is one of the largest venture capital and private equity asset management institutions in Asia. Since 2016, SBI has been planning "SBI Encrypted Digital Money Ecosystem".
Japanese Internet giant GMO Networks announced plans to develop its own mining chip, which will use 7 nanometer (nm) nodes to reduce energy consumption. GMO also owns an encrypted currency exchange, GMO Coin.
In April 2017, Mizuho Financial Group of Japan and IBM Japan announced that they will jointly build a platform of trade financing block chain.
These consortiums are highly collaborative, such as Mizuho Finance Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Finance Group. Fujitsu will test a cloud-based block chain platform to send funds between individuals and develop a smartphone APP to improve the availability of the system.
For example, Yokohama Bank, Mizuho Financial Group, Rena Bank and other institutions are jointly testing the international funds transfer system based on digital currency. Once this test is completed, it will achieve independent transfer, and no longer need to use the US dollar as the intermediary.
Now Japan is far ahead not only in terms of transactions, but also in terms of virtual currency application scenarios, such as real estate registration, identity registration, inter-bank clearing, insurance, supply chain and consumer payment.
On the surface of all kinds of signs, Japan is trying to use "block chain" technology to complete its bend over China and the United States.
In order to paralyze the world's vigilance, Japan has launched a series of "introspective" works in recent years: Japan sinks, Japan is about to collapse, Japan's crisis, Japan's challenges, Japan's disadvantage and so on.
But we should also see that Japan has also secretly formulated the "Rejuvenation Strategy" and "Future Investment Strategy", which is called hiding the sky and crossing the sea.
Today, the global economic situation is becoming more and more delicate, and the debt crisis and bubble assets of countries are still growing. However, countries are still using traditional monetary means to protect the growth of the bubble, and the global economy is facing collapse at any time. Once the crisis breaks out, credit and money will be stripped. At this time, there must be a more credible currency to carry people's credit. Who will stand in the middle of the stage of the new world?
It is necessary to know that in Japan's Rejuvenation Strategy 2016, block chain technology is mentioned twice, while in Future Investment Strategy 2017, block chain technology is mentioned 25 times.
We must present Japan's ambition today!DJMINER
Especially after the two great strikes of "World War II" and "Plaza Agreement", Japan changed its strategy to cover up the "low desire society" and build a warehouse in the open.
Many people think that Japan is a loyal follower of the United States, but they do not know that Japan has been working hard, grinding its knives quietly, and coveting the United States...
Of course, Japan has never given up its dream of world hegemony, and is now ready to seek world hegemony for the third time. Japan's strategy is becoming more and more exposed, and its secret weapons have already been seen as a dagger. We must be aware and vigilant!
How powerful is Japan?
As we all know, the strong starting point of Japan is the Meiji Restoration. The Meiji Restoration is that the Japanese take the initiative to learn from the West when they see the strength of the West. But many people don't know that the early stage of the Meiji Restoration in Japan is to learn from the West, while the middle and late stage is to learn from the Spring and Autumn Period of China, which is called Wang Zheng Restoration.
Japan's strength comes from the idea of "one family under the sun" in China.
Because Japan has always been the successor of Oriental civilization, after all, there are essential differences between oriental civilization and Western civilization. Oriental civilization originates from farming, stresses the unity of nature and advocates a stable social order, while western civilization originates from the sea, has always been in a mobile state, stresses instantaneity and conquerability.
The Japanese still advocate order and stability in their bones, which determines that Japan has embarked on a road of imitating the West but retaining the Oriental characteristics.
To make a comparison:
commercial power
The greatest feature of Japanese enterprises'overseas investment strategy is that they generally focus on "commercial rights", while the overseas strategies of other countries mostly focus on "equity".
The United States is the godfather of the "equity" model, and China's strategic thinking of overseas M&A is constantly learning this model.

The so-called "commercial right" model is to see the core position of the prey invested in in its industrial chain, and then to participate in the joint venture, and then through the dilution of shares, slowly encroach on the entire industrial chain, which is the way of mergers and acquisitions of Japanese enterprises.
"Equity" model is to seek short-term interests, pay attention to fast, cruel, accurate; the "commercial power" model is to seek long-term interests, pay attention to long-term flow.
Americans think that controlling a business is to control it, but Japanese don't think so. They control the upstream and market of resources through business associations.
For example, the registered capital of Panasonic Electric Appliance China Ltd. was $3 million in 2003, and by 2006, the number had soared 10 times.

business community
Having understood "commercial rights", let's take a look at "commercial associations".
The core purpose of commercial rights is to enable everyone to truly "co-exist and co-prosper", so "co-exist and co-prosper" is a universal value in Japan.
The Japanese consortium uses this logic to establish a huge production system in society, to divide labor and cooperate, to avoid competition and to strive for win-win results.

And their investments are not single-line. Sometimes they invest a part here and another part there. They have investment relations between them, so they become a network. Although only 10% of the investment, but can help you weave the network, and there are information sources, can put these information together, from which business opportunities can be found.
After World War II, Japan's plutocrats were torn apart, and in fact they were still connected to each other. The disbandment of the family was only the people of the family at that time. The people of the family were the capitalists, not the actual operators. The managers were managers. The managers did not disband, and usually had contacts. Finally, a consortium was formed. It was these managers who manipulated these enterprises.
Japan's consortium has now formed an industrial assembly network and a community of interests, which is a symbiotic relationship. With the development of internationalization, the consortium is becoming more and more internationalized. Now many Japanese do not know the existence of consortia and become more and more invisible.
Japan follows the pattern of putting finance into production, expanding production, expanding global market, occupying market and gaining profits. The United States is more inclined to use finance as a means of making profits through various derivatives.
Japan's model guarantees the stability of social order. For example, Japan's large companies have strong inheritance, which is basically brought out by teachers and apprentices. In this way, people will not be so impetuous, everyone is anxious society, it is difficult to produce good products.
Confucian culture in China is constantly learning the essence of various orders, the Japanese regard the country as a large enterprise, if a large enterprise has become a country.
Today, Japan as a whole is actually a company. They are connected behind the scenes. This is a planned market economy and a comprehensive market economy complex.
So Japan seemingly is a capitalist country, in fact, in accordance with the way of the Big Commune in building the country, Japanese textbooks call themselves: Japanese-type "socialism".
Nowadays, if Chinese enterprises want to acquire overseas companies, many of them have to rely on American investment banks to complete the acquisition, which is bound to face great risks, because our pricing and financial system will be fully displayed in front of American investment banks. When Japanese companies make overseas M&As, they seldom use American investment banks. They rely solely on integrated businesses to complete M&As.
The powerful power of the Japanese model, we may get a revelation from the Japanese model, whether China should have a model of its own, but different from the United States model? This model has strong financial support, with well-informed business associations as pioneers, and excellent manufacturing enterprises to attack the city strategy. Does this business model chill the American economic missionaries?
If designed according to the economic system of the United States, finance and commerce are independent, even fighting each other. It is not a symbiotic system for businesses to find ways to gain commercial profits and oppress industrial profits. The ideal model should be that commercial support industry is bigger, and then benefit from the process of industry bigger and stronger.
Is Japan really poor?
Because Japanese consortia are more permeable, they prefer to hide behind as invisible giants. There are many invisible giants in Japan, such as Keynes.
Keats is well-known in the field of factory automation in the world, especially in the field of sensors. 70% of its products are innovative in the world, which brings high added value.
Today, it has more than 200 offices in more than 45 countries and regions worldwide, and employs more than 5,000 people worldwide. From the world 500 mandatory manufacturing enterprises to small and micro enterprises, many of them use its solutions.
Keynes has been praised by Business Weekly as one of the 1,000 most valuable companies in the world. For seven consecutive years, Keynes has been listed in Forbes magazine's Global Most Innovative Companies List.
The company's founder, Takeo Fujizaki, himself is very low-key, making so much money in China, but few people know it exists. This is the real invisible giant.
So, we are all singing Japan down now, and the Japanese are crying poor, but in fact, they know very well that they are not poor, they are just to dispel the hostility of others. Japan has been very willing to accept people talking about their depression. Is it not a kind of hardship? It has a very hidden strategic purpose.
While many countries are still keen to use economic data such as GDP, import and export volume to show their economic strength, Japan has begun to learn to cover up its real economic influence.
If a person flaunts all day, he will certainly be hated. The Japanese have really learned the essence of the Chinese thought inside the outer circle.
Therefore, Japan is a country that can not be underestimated!
Second: Japan's ambition!
1: Bitcoin
In the 1980s, Japan's economy grew so fast that it was close to the United States. By 1985, Japan had replaced the United States as the world's largest creditor country, and Japanese-made products flooded the world.
The crazy expansion of Japanese capital has made Americans exclaim, "Japan will occupy the United States peacefully!"
In the face of the strong rise of Japan's economy, the United States could not sit still and forced Japan to sign the Plaza Agreement. This is the turning point of Japan's economy, and then Japan fell into a decade of economic stagnation, that is, the "lost decade".
During World War II, Japan tried to conquer the world by military means, but ended in total failure. This time Japan's attempt to conquer the world economically failed again. This time, Japan is fully awake. It understands a truth: it is not feasible to fight for world hegemony.
As a result, Japan began to hide its glory, but it still did not give up that "dream".
In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the United States, and the global economy was affected. This great crisis opened up new opportunities for the Japanese.
The essence of all economic crises comes from the credit crisis of money issuing institutions. In 2009, the Japanese "Nakamoto" proposed a decentralized currency, Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not issued by a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. The total number of Bitcoins will be permanently limited to 21 million.
Bitcoin generates new bitcoins by "mining". The so-called "mining" essentially uses computer programs to ensure the consistency of the distributed accounting system in the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin can be used to cash most countries'currencies. Users can use Bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment in online games, and so on. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use Bitcoin to buy real-life items.
Undoubtedly, this is a huge challenge to the dollar, the traditional world currency!
More importantly, because it is stored in many computers around the world, no powerful force can erase it from the earth.
So, which country in the world most esteems virtual currency? No doubt, of course, Japan!
In September 1998, a researcher under the Mitsui Consortium of Japan published the book "Declaration of War against the United States: Japan's Economy, Liberated from the Status of Financial Slaves in the United States", which is directed at the hegemony of the United States under the theme of Japan's economic strategy.
As a scarce resource in the Internet era, Bitcoin is regarded by Japan as a storage means of future value. Compared with gold dollar/oil, it is not limited by any time and space. It has gold scarcity and is easier to split than gold, which is conducive to transfer transactions. At the same time, it is not issued as US dollar. So more epoch-making sense, Japan as a strategic resource!
As the third largest economy in the world, Japan is also the first country to provide legal protection for digital currency exchanges. In 2017, the Japanese government amended the Capital Settlement Act, recognizing Bitcoin as a legal payment method, and formulated a series of standards and rules for exchanges. Subsequently, the Japanese government formally terminated the 8% consumption tax required to buy Bitcoin on the exchange.
At the same time, the Sector Chain Strategy Department, which combines Mizuho Group, the second largest financial institution in Japan, with many FinTech companies, has emerged as the core organization of the study of the Japanese Sector Chain.
This is the world's first national block chain, KYC (Know Your Customer). This high-level confirmation mechanism was jointly completed by three major Japanese banks (Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Mitsui) and Deloitte at FinTech Experimental Center, which occupied the commanding heights of the global block chain.
Today, the yen has become the main French currency for Bitcoin pricing, accounting for 65% of Bitcoin's global trading volume, nearly three times that of the second dollar. Japan has won the top spot in the global bitcoin market, and its position is hard to shake.
Japan has GMO click, the world's largest retail foreign exchange trader, which also has a virtual currency licence, with a monthly foreign exchange volume of up to $1 trillion.
The Japan Financial Services Authority is developing a block-chain-driven platform that will enable Japanese customers to share personal information instantly between banks and financial institutions.
Bitflyer, Japan's largest virtual currency exchange, currently has more than 800,000 people active, with 24-hour trading volume of nearly 400,000 bitcoins.
Deutsche Bank's financial experts report that the crazy growth of bitcoin in recent years is mainly driven by the Japanese. The real driving force behind bitcoin is the Japanese, who are keen to overthrow the US dollar hegemony with virtual currency.
Virtual Payment in Japan
Japan's private enthusiasm for virtual money is also high. China advocates mobile payment while Japan advocates virtual money. This is why Japan seems indifferent when China has entered the era of "no cash", because it has chosen another new financial path.
In many shopping malls in Japan, bitcoin can be paid for. The signs in the shopping malls are everywhere indicating "bitcoin payment" slogans, which are just as common as WeChat payment / Alipay payment in China. Unlike our scan code payment, the real time exchange rate of bitcoins and yen will be displayed before the Japanese scan code, which will facilitate the confirmation of businesses and customers. Although there is an additional process of checking the exchange rate, in the actual experience, bitcoin sweep payment gives people the feeling of "seconds over".
Even when walking on the streets of Tokyo, you can often see vehicles passing by with advertisements on bitFlyer, Japan's largest trading platform.
When China entered the era of mobile payment, Japan also quietly entered the era of virtual payment.
Of course, Japan has not abandoned its mobile payment. Japan plans to raise the proportion of cash-free settlement to 40% by the time of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, but this move is aimed at clearing the obstacles for further implementation of virtual currency payment.
There are also a group of housewives in China and Japan, known as "Mrs. Watanabe" ("Watanabe" is a common surname in Japan), who have a very keen sense of investment and will start quickly when they see the opportunity.
Because of Japan's long-standing policy of low or zero interest rates, Mrs Watanabe needs to increase income for her family through various investments. Today in Japan, Mrs Watanabe has replaced bankers as the main player in the digital asset market. They use family funds to invest in Bitcoin to increase their value.
With the cooperation of the Japanese government and the Japanese people, Japanese businessmen also vigorously promote Bitcoin payment. Bic Camera, for example, is a comprehensive appliance store, equivalent to Suning, China. To encourage customers to pay in Bitcoin, Bic Camera also offers an additional 5% discount. It is worth mentioning, for example, that foreign tourists can enjoy an 8% excise tax exemption if they show their passports.
Japan's entertainment industry is also actively cooperating with the national strategy, very supportive of virtual currency, Japan has a combination called "virtual currency girl" and has also conducted a public performance.
The members of the group are named after eight virtual encrypted currencies: BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (ETH), ADA (Ada) and so on. Members of the magic group said they would promote knowledge of digital money through entertainment. Of course, they would also accept digital money to buy concert tickets and related peripherals.
Japanese real estate began to accept Bitcoin, such as Yitanzi, a real estate company in Tokyo, which sold a commercial building for 547 Bitcoins, converted into dollars, for about $6 million, or nearly 50 million yuan.
GMO, a well-known Japanese Internet company, has also made a decision to pay employees of its subsidiaries in the form of Bitcoin. GMO also provides a 10% bonus to employees willing to try, which can compensate for the loss caused by the price fluctuation of Bitcoin. GMO said it hoped to improve its cognitive ability through the actual use of digital money.
The ambition of the Japanese Consortium
The financial system of Japanese consortium is itself the philosophy of block chain. The major domestic consortia and Internet companies are all involved in the industry of block chain. They have laid out block chain technology in exchange, investment bank, cross-border payment and other fields. Grab the height of global block chain.
Japan Block Chain Association (JBA), founded in 2014, has more than 100 members, including Sumitomo Mitsui Bank and many other consortia.
Japan also has the Block Chain Alliance, which has rapidly exceeded 100 member organizations, including Microsoft Japan, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mitsui Sumotomo, Bitbank and ConsenSys.
Japan's major consortiums have different directions in the block chain, basically in-depth development. For example, Sumitomo Mitsui selected cross-border issues to study how to apply the block chain technology to complex cross-border transaction issues, and completed the cross-border transaction experiment of the whole block chain at the end of March 2018.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group has jointly developed an infrastructure based on block chains to issue, transfer and collect electronic cheques with Hitachi Group of Japan.
As a well-known Japanese consortium, SBI is one of the largest venture capital and private equity asset management institutions in Asia. Since 2016, SBI has been planning "SBI Encrypted Digital Money Ecosystem".
Japanese Internet giant GMO Networks announced plans to develop its own mining chip, which will use 7 nanometer (nm) nodes to reduce energy consumption. GMO also owns an encrypted currency exchange, GMO Coin.
In April 2017, Mizuho Financial Group of Japan and IBM Japan announced that they will jointly build a platform of trade financing block chain.
These consortiums are highly collaborative, such as Mizuho Finance Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Finance Group. Fujitsu will test a cloud-based block chain platform to send funds between individuals and develop a smartphone APP to improve the availability of the system.
For example, Yokohama Bank, Mizuho Financial Group, Rena Bank and other institutions are jointly testing the international funds transfer system based on digital currency. Once this test is completed, it will achieve independent transfer, and no longer need to use the US dollar as the intermediary.
Now Japan is far ahead not only in terms of transactions, but also in terms of virtual currency application scenarios, such as real estate registration, identity registration, inter-bank clearing, insurance, supply chain and consumer payment.
On the surface of all kinds of signs, Japan is trying to use "block chain" technology to complete its bend over China and the United States.
In order to paralyze the world's vigilance, Japan has launched a series of "introspective" works in recent years: Japan sinks, Japan is about to collapse, Japan's crisis, Japan's challenges, Japan's disadvantage and so on.
But we should also see that Japan has also secretly formulated the "Rejuvenation Strategy" and "Future Investment Strategy", which is called hiding the sky and crossing the sea.
Today, the global economic situation is becoming more and more delicate, and the debt crisis and bubble assets of countries are still growing. However, countries are still using traditional monetary means to protect the growth of the bubble, and the global economy is facing collapse at any time. Once the crisis breaks out, credit and money will be stripped. At this time, there must be a more credible currency to carry people's credit. Who will stand in the middle of the stage of the new world?
It is necessary to know that in Japan's Rejuvenation Strategy 2016, block chain technology is mentioned twice, while in Future Investment Strategy 2017, block chain technology is mentioned 25 times.
We must present Japan's ambition today!DJMINER
