MTL - The Rise of Space Technology-Chapter 180 , it's very stressful
Chapter 180, the pressure is great
"Recently, with the sharp depreciation of green coins and the announcement of the abandonment of green coins for foreign exchange settlement in many countries and regions, the green coins have been sold off sharply. The price of vegetables and fruits has skyrocketed for a pound of coins, and even the super-sized fried chicken and burger set that could be bought for a few green coins in the past has skyrocketed to dozens of green coins now.”
"The sharp depreciation of green coins, stock market turmoil, huge shocks in the financial market, and a large number of financial securities companies have declared bankruptcy, causing the unemployment rate to soar to an unprecedented 25% or more, which means that among the working-age population, a quarter of Currently unemployed."
"The remaining three-quarters of the employed population, because of the soaring prices, their income is simply not enough to feed their family, there have been a large number of demonstrations, strikes, zero yuan shopping, beating, smashing, looting, looting, and shooting. Cases are frequent, a large number of shops are closed”
As usual, Liu Yuan started to pay attention to the news at home and abroad when he woke up early.
With the big news on the first day of the new year, the global situation has become turbulent.
Since the sharp depreciation of the green coin, it has already been in an economic crisis. Now the sharp depreciation of the green coin coupled with a large number of selling, its status as a world currency has been seriously shaken. At present, more and more regions do not Recognize its status.
The result of is catastrophic.
The original economic crisis and the current huge crisis, under the double blow, quickly swept the world.
"The good days are coming to an end. Without the international status of green coin, it is estimated that green coin will soon become almost the same as paper due to the over-issue of green coins in the past few decades."
Looking at the reports on the other side of the ocean, Liu Yuan didn't have the slightest wave in his heart.
This thing is actually like a bubble. The more it blows, the bigger it will burst one day. Now it’s just that someone stabbed it in advance.
In the final analysis, it is because they have been printing money to divert their internal problems all these years, and at the same time let people from all over the world pay for them and support them. Every year, a huge amount of wealth is looted by them invisibly.
We are not fools, we all know this.
But if it was in the past, everyone would still be willing to pay the bill, because a few decades ago, they were the largest industrial fruit in the world, and the industrial output value once accounted for more than half of the world.
This means that everyone sells things to them, and after changing the green coins, they can buy the goods they need from their hands. At that time, any goods could be produced, and they were the largest in the world.
However, with the passage of time, international currency is also a double-edged sword.
You can live a good life by printing money and playing with finance. Naturally, the industry slowly shrinks rapidly, especially with the rapid rise in labor costs, it is difficult for the manufacturing industry to persist.
Within a few decades, it has gradually been completely de-industrialized from an industrial manufacturing force. Apart from military industry, technology and agriculture, they only have finance.
They know very well that agriculture is the foundation of a country, and only by mastering agriculture and food can stability be achieved. Arms and technology are what maintain their strong power. Whether it is to cut or raise interest rates, they have the final say. Who can play them in the financial field?
The huge change also means that the green coins in your hand can no longer buy the goods you need from them, and there is only the value that circulates between each other.
But if the bubble is not big enough, it is still safe, and everyone is willing to accept it, but if you don’t want to, you will release water, print money to solve your own problems, and plunder the wealth of the world. After all, there will be a day of collapse.
They know it, and the whole world knows it.
So what they have to do is to let people all over the world accept this forever, accept their arrangement, and everyone should listen to him no matter where they are.
They are at the top, relying on finance, technology, and military to maintain everything. Its allies and younger brothers are in the second echelon. They are responsible for industrial manufacturing and produce high value-added products.
The third echelon depends on their mood. If you are in a good mood, I will give it to the four little dragons today. When you are fat, you will come and harvest a wave of leeks. Tomorrow, these low value-added, labor-intensive and resource-consuming industries will be transferred to other industries. place to go.
As for the fourth echelon, it is an echelon that has no sense of existence at all. Basically, this echelon can only be used as a source of raw materials and a consumer market forever.
This is the world they ultimately want to achieve and build, and everything is centered on it, all people must obey them, accept the rules it sets, and people all over the world support them with wealth to live their best lives. rich life.
However, this is a good wish after all, no one is willing to live under such rules and order, especially us, with a huge population of more than one billion, it is impossible to be poor forever, and can only be able to work in some labor-intensive industries. .
We have been like this since ancient times, and we will never be reconciled to it. We have been a nation on the top of the world since ancient times, how can we live under people for a long time?
And the emergence of Xinghai Technology has obviously promoted the development of all this, especially the transcendence of chip technology, which immediately dug up a large part of their technology industry.
The emergence of bioenergy technology has truly shaken the world's energy market. In the future, they will no longer have the final say in the energy market, but we will control it.
Of course, they will definitely not be willing to be shaken by others like this.
They still have a force capable of winning the whole world, how could they be so reconciled?
Liu Yuan continued to read the latest news.
As expected, the neighbors around us are a little dishonest, making frequent small movements and constantly testing. At the same time, in the seas to the east and south, they are also constantly testing and creating troubles.
The thick smell of gunpowder smoke is already in the air, and the smell of Sanzhan can be smelled by people all over the world, but we are not camels in the desert after all. The power between the two sides is very strong, plus Mao Zige is assisting.
Take a look at the news in your own home.
"Exports have shrunk sharply, a large number of factories and foreign trade companies have closed down, and the number of unemployed has surged."
The news that came first in the first place was also noticed by Liu Yuan.
There is no doubt that this is a double-edged sword, and it will have a great impact on our own industry. After all, we still need to rely on foreign trade to a large extent, especially for a large number of labor-intensive industries. The demand for foreign trade is even greater.
Now the appreciation of fruit currency has a great impact on these industries, which means that there is no competitive advantage in price outside, and exports are naturally shrinking sharply.
"Employment is a big problem. It's easy to have trouble without a job."
Liu Yuan thought silently in his heart.
"Perhaps we should take out virtual reality technology as soon as possible. If we develop virtual worlds, a lot of jobs will be created, and virtual games can also create a huge industry."
"Nowadays, there is a lot of unemployment in IT, and the Internet is sluggish. If there is no new industry, this is a very troublesome thing."
The first thing Liu Yuan thought of was the virtual reality industry. Once this virtual reality technology matures and starts to be put into the market, it will develop rapidly like the original Internet.
Compared with the Internet, the virtual world has greater development potential, and at the same time, it can also drive more employment, spawn a large number of related industries, and give birth to countless virtual technology companies.
Not to mention, the virtual game industry alone is enough to drive a huge number of jobs. Nowadays, games are only played by many young people. Once they get older, they rarely play games.
But the games in the virtual world are different. From the information obtained from the inheritance seeds, in the interstellar universe civilization, the virtual game industry is definitely a very large industry, and there are many people immersed in the virtual world.
The power of virtual technology lies in the fact that it can completely construct a virtual real world. Even a person with an extremely mature mind cannot resist its temptation.
Of course, there is no doubt that this will also bring many negative effects. Some people will be immersed in it all the time, unable to extricate themselves, and gradually become detached from the real world. In many civilizations, such people are called virtual people because they A person living in a virtual world.
"Oil prices plummeted, from more than 20 yuan to six or seven yuan in ordinary times, and everyone finally started to add oil."
"The price of imported goods has plummeted. The price of imported fruit is less than half of what it used to be. The price of imported frozen products has also fallen sharply. The price of chicken feet, which everyone loves, has dropped by more than seven layers."
Liu Yuan continued to read some news. The biggest point now is that the price of imported commodities has plummeted. The price of imported fruit that used to be expensive is now almost the same as that of the fruit grown by himself, but everyone can consume it.
"The pressure is still very high. There are two things to do this year. One is to develop anti-gravity technology as soon as possible. If there is anti-gravity technology, an air carrier and anti-gravity hypersonic fighter can be built, which is enough to shock the world. They can ensure their own safety and ensure that they can’t fight, even if they want to do it, they have to weigh it carefully, and they won’t take any advantage of this fight.”
"The other is to research the virtual reality technology, develop the virtual world, promote employment, stabilize the internal, and also help the internationalization of Guocoin."
After reading the news, Liu Yuan was silently thinking and planning what he would do at the age of 21.
