Chapter 136: Shooting at Freedom
Zhou Ming is really angry, originally as a reborn, with a fifty-year-old psychological age, he will not be easily angry, but listening to Wang Jian's 'you Chinese are ignorant and ignorant' and a 'you Chinese are stubborn', Zhou Ming really can't bear it, not only Zhou Ming can't bear it, I believe that no matter who any master with a handle can't bear it.

As a college student, Zhou Ming also understands English, and he can understand what Wang Jian said to Nordriman without a translator.
If a foreigner says this, it is acceptable, after all, others are foreigners, and there will always be some ethnic prejudices, at most they will be arrogant. But what is the situation with you Wang Jian? Aren't you also a pair of black eyes and a yellow face? as if you are not Chinese.
Zhou Ming didn't hear that some foreign Chinese disagreed with the domestic situation, but he didn't expect this Wang Jian to be so extreme. It is really difficult for Zhou Ming to understand what kind of thinking he has, is it possible that as long as you wantonly belittle a person of your own nationality in front of foreigners, foreigners will look down on him and treat him as their own? Why is it that as long as you straighten your waist with your ability, foreigners will look down on you, but some people are unwilling, and they have to kneel down and call foreigner father, so that they are happy in their hearts?
"What did you say? I want you to apologize to me for what you just said. Wang Jian said with a gloomy face.
"I apologize for your face!" Zhou Ming scolded, "I said how good you are that you don't choose to be a dog, or the kind of cheap dog who wags his tail without giving bones! Do you think that if you belittle our domestic people and kneel and lick foreigners, they will accept you and treat you as their own? Don't be funny, that's just your wishful thinking, others just treat you as a dog!"
Zhou Ming's words obviously pierced the sore spot in Wang Jian's heart, after all, a person like him who is extremely admiring foreigners usually has a strong sense of vanity and a very fragile heart, and when he was stabbed by Zhou Ming like this, he immediately burst into flames.
"It's really barbaric and unqualified!" Wang Jian trembled with anger, he pointed at Zhou Ming and said, "You see if I said something wrong, you Chinese are a bunch of scum scoundrels, once they are exposed, they will only curse!"
"Scold you? Lao Tzu scolds you, Lao Tzu not only wants to scold you, Lao Tzu also wants to kill a mongrel like you who has betrayed your ancestors! Why is our nation so full of disasters and difficulties, and why is it difficult to develop? It is because of a scum like you who has forgotten your ancestors!" Zhou Ming scolded loudly.
Zhou Ming felt this way, and still remembered that on the Internet in later generations, there was always such a group of people who ate Chinese food and scolded Chinese mothers, as if in the eyes of these people, everything in their own country is bad, and everything abroad is good, even if a foreigner farts feel fragrant, as if as long as he belittles his own country and his compatriots, his soul can be sublimated and become a foreign devil.
But these people don't know how many foreigners come to China and think that China is very good, and they don't want to leave here.
Zhou Ming gets angry every time he sees these things, after all, everything has to be seen rationally, there are many things in China that have problems, but he can't blindly abuse, especially now looking at Wang Jian's cheap appearance of kneeling and licking abroad, Zhou Ming can't bear it.
Nordriman's accompanying interpreter had been translating for him, so he knew what Zhou Ming and Wang Jian were saying, and then he stood up and said to Zhou Ming: "Hey, I said young sir, I know that what Wang Jian said just now is very disrespectful to your nation and country, and I feel sorry for this. However, I think he is not wrong about one thing, after all, you are a centralized and authoritarian country, there has never been a free economy, and there is no series of relevant laws. ā
In the end, a foreigner came forward to apologize, which can't help but feel ridiculous, but things are so dramatic.
Facing Nordriman, Zhou Ming shook his head and said to him: "Mr. Nordriman, you will say this because you are thinking from your height, you are not from our country, you don't know our situation." ā
"You are already a highly developed capitalist society, and you have always provided policy doctrine to the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve, so you are used to doing it when everything is ready, but we are different here," Zhou Ming said, "My motherland has been poor for too long, everyone longs for a rich and happy life, and now the world is about to face another rapid development, we can't miss this train again." ā
"If we wait until we've got everything ready, we're missing the opportunity, not to mention the stock market. Zhou Ming said.
"Is this the way you Chinese do things?" Nordriman said, "doing first and thinking then is indeed a very pragmatic method, and it is also very suitable for your current situation, perhaps this is the way you have made Nanjiang have such amazing development." ā
Nordriman changed his words at this point, and then said: "But there is one thing, and you have not done any preparation like this, will not you give the speculators a great chance?"
Zhou Ming still shook his head and said: "Mr. Nordriman, you are wrong again, we are not unprepared for anything, at least we are prepared for the company law, securities law and accounting law you said, and the situation on our side may be different from your side, our side can first be issued by the government to issue a temporary method, which can be used as a law to regulate the securities market, under this framework, speculators will not do much." ā
In the end, Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and added: "I think even if Mr. Nordriman is operated by you, I'm afraid you won't find any good speculative opportunities." ā
Nordriman smiled slightly: "Perhaps, but that's another question, because the securities market is a market that requires absolute freedom, but your state system is autocratic, isn't it strange? Under such a system, how can you guarantee the free trading of securities, how can you ensure that your securities market is not manipulated?"
Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "Mr. Nordriman, I know that you are a master of Western free economic theory, but I still want to say that in the world, it is impossible for a truly absolutely free market economy to exist, and a truly free market economy is not necessarily a good thing, otherwise your Mr. President would not have implemented the New Deal under the tremendous pressure of the entire bourgeoisie fifty years ago, wouldn't he?"
Nordriman said: "Indeed, as you said, we did intervene in the economy against our original intentions at that time, but in the end, the economic recovery still needs to be done by the market itself, otherwise everything will be left to the administration, which will only make the market lose its vitality and become corrupt." ā
"I agree," Zhou said, "no matter how imperfect the free market is, in a free market, in the long run, the sum of the benefits gained will far outweigh the sum of the benefits lost." ā
Nordriman nodded silently, agreeing with Zhou Ming's point of view, but Zhou Ming's next words shocked him.
"But Mr. Nordriman, please pay attention to the term I have a long-term view," Zhou Ming emphasized, "and time is what is missing in a free market, because a free market that runs entirely on its own tends to collapse very quickly when anything goes wrong." The reason for this is simple: the free market is made up of a group of self-interested people. ā
"This is something that even your patron saint of free enterprise recognizes," Zhou Ming said, "Two hundred years ago, he wrote in The Wealth of Nations that peers are enemies, and that even in games for entertainment, people have their own agendas, and they often communicate with each other only to conspire to harm the public interest or to try to inflate prices." ā
Zhou Ming spread his hands: "This meaning could not be clearer, if a free market is completely self-operated without referee supervision, then the market participants will destroy the market themselves." You will always say that the problem of our country is that the mechanism is flawed, then again, your problem is your insatiable capitalists. ā
"Of course, Mr. Nordriman, I don't say this nonsense in front of you," Zhou Ming said, "to give you the simplest example, if I understand correctly, the original Wall Street was free, and at that time it was free to the point that there was no regulation at all except public opinion, just like when the neighbors played a game of poker, but the newspaper? God, if someone writes an article in the newspaper, it can also be called regulation." ā
"I think this is what you want the most, right? But what is the result?" Zhou Ming asked himself, "At that time, Wall Street was the most corrupt time in history, and speculators could manipulate the market as much as they wanted, until the government began to intervene. ā
"Let's take it a little closer, I believe you must have heard of the stock market crash in Hong Kong City three months ago, Mr. Nordriman, and Hong Kong City has always been the representative of the Western free economy in the East, but the result? ā
Zhou Ming said: "Of course, this is related to the inexplicable stock market crash on Black Monday in the United States, but the bigger reason is that the port city itself, there is a huge bubble in his financial market, as long as there is a little wind and grass, this bubble is punctured, then it will cause an unimaginable financial tsunami, and it is for this reason that the port city is now introspecting and planning to set up an agency called the Securities Regulatory Commission, in order to supervise the market." ā
In the end, Zhou Ming concluded: "So Mr. Nordriman, whether it is the black history of Wall Street or the stock market crash in Hong Kong City just past, it is a good illustration that freedom is relative, and our securities market is the same, he needs a big hand to hold his reins, only in this way, can he maintain a healthy situation of stable development." ā
Nordriman listened intently to the translation, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to nod silently at each sentence until the last word of the translation was finished.
Nordriman exhaled a long breath, he couldn't help but applaud, and said to Zhou Ming with emotion: "Wonderful, really wonderful, this is the most wonderful judgment I have heard in the past few years!"
