Chapter 701: Cashless Society
Huaxia is the world's number one manufacturing powerhouse, uh, that's about scale rather than strength. If you want to talk about strength, it must be the United States, followed by Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries, and then China, India, Turkey, Mexico and Brazil. This can be seen from the profits generated by the manufacturing industry.
Since the subprime mortgage crisis, the RMB has appreciated in recent years, labor costs have risen year by year, coupled with serious overcapacity of steel, and housing prices have continued to rise, causing various problems in the real economy. It can be said that the downward pressure on the economy is very strong and difficult to alleviate.
This kind of national event is said to have little to do with him, he was not strong before, he was young and inexperienced, and no one really cared, but now he is full of wings and is too deep. However, Zhou Shi did not want to participate in the formulation of the national plan, but just wanted to advance along a route with a high probability.
The best way to depreciate the renminbi is to spread the pressure to others, for example, the United States has made the world bear the consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis through this helpless means. In other words, the internationalization of the renminbi has actually become an inevitability. This is the mission that the times have entrusted to this generation of leaders. However, it is impossible for people to accept the renminbi for no reason, and no matter how the US imperialists are tossing, most countries in the world have recognized its strength. Why should you trust the currency of a semi-closed country that has not opened its financial market? This is the first thing; second, the overcapacity of the domestic manufacturing industry, and the four trillion yuan has made the domestic capital surplus, so what should I do? If it cannot be consumed at home, let the small partners of the world help consume it. Of course, this is impossible, or choose the surrounding partners to be realistic, so the Belt and Road is coming.
There is a very simple reason behind any complex reason, the Belt and Road is to solve domestic problems and come up with a solution, as for the plan is a loss or a gain, it depends on the domestic economic situation.
Zhou Shi used his shallow knowledge combined with the experience of his previous life to give a lecture to a professional financial expert, and then expounded the need to lay out Southeast Asia and Central and Eastern European countries in advance. Go out, explore boldly, and then use your own experience to lead the way for those who come after you. As long as it does not die early, the Four Elephants Fund will be able to grow and build its own moat in the development of the outside world. The Belt and Road Initiative is a plan that mainly focuses on infrastructure investment and construction, and it is also a plan for a country to guide domestic industrial capital to go global. The participation of the Sixiang Fund can assist the flow of domestic funds to countries along the Belt and Road (in disguised form to participate in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Silk Road Fund), and can also help overseas enterprises enter the Chinese market
Although Hu Zuniu is not confused, but it is not much better, this is called the boss's words, and the subordinate runs and breaks his leg, as if: "You buy me the best food in this place!"
Thinking big and starting small is not something that ordinary people can do. Sixiang Fund has AIA, and Modu Securities is acquiring RBS's investment banking assets in Asia, if it consolidates and develops, it will actually meet Zhou Shi's requirements. Through investment banking, we can gain an in-depth understanding of a country's superstructure, and through insurance, we can penetrate into the ordinary people of a country. There are also Internet social networks, if this information is fully integrated, Zhoushi Group's understanding of the surrounding areas of China may not be much worse than the country's understanding of overseas.
"Simon, I seem to understand something, Sixiang Fund wants to be a global financial investment group based on China!" Hu Zu Niu
"So to speak!" Zhou Shi sighed
"The focus of our expansion is on this line from China to Europe?" said Hu Zuniu
"Yes!" Zhou Shi said expressionlessly, he didn't know where he was dissatisfied. Sixiang Fund is now strong enough, and there are only a limited number of domestic financial institutions that can surpass him, just think about it, AIA is no worse than Ping An Insurance, and although Modu Securities and Huamei Sanxiang Bank are not strong, they at least make up for the sector of Sixiang Fund. It also has Spreadtrum Communications, a global leader in IC design. There are also outstanding enterprises such as Ningde New Energy, Huiyuan, Lao Fengxiang, Shanghai Jahwa, etc., and also invested in a large number of domestic outstanding enterprises such as Hengrui Pharmaceutical, Gree Electric Appliances, etc. It also has a lot of influence in the field of private equity funds, attracting a large number of domestic wealthy people to invest funds
"Simon, is there any idea that is difficult to implement?" Hu Zuniu, he is conscientious in the Sixiang Fund, although because of Zhou Shi's intervention and restrictions, the funds he can actually mobilize are not very much as people imagine, but the existing scale is enough to make people blush. Being able to deeply participate in the operation of more than 20 outstanding enterprises in the country, and there are no performance requirements, there is actually a lot of room for his own play, and he is also relatively satisfied. However, there are pros and cons, and every request made by Zhou Shi, the boss, is nerve-wracking.
"I have ideas, but I'm afraid you don't have the courage!" Zhou Shi said lightly
"What thoughts, you haven't said it yet, you know that we don't have the courage," Hu Zuniu
"This idea is bold, and people with a big picture will insist on promoting it!" Zhou Shi
"Simon might as well talk about it!"
"I want to promote a global cashless society and break the existing financial landscape!"
"Cashless society? Even in Europe and the United States, where the penetration rate of credit cards is very high, it is difficult to see the possibility of a cashless society, and how can a cashless society be linked to the financial landscape?"
"Forehead ???" Zhou Shikou is fast, and he always wants to put a righteous name on his actions.
"My cashless society is not what you think. Zhou Shi paused, and said unhurriedly: "I want to use the rapidly popularized smart phone and mobile payment to transform the existing transaction payment method." ”
He is not unfounded, Time Holdings, as his flagship core enterprise in the field of science and technology, has long carried out technical reserves in relevant aspects, including QR code technical standards, scan technology patents, and some other mobile payment-related patents, and even blockchain technology patent reserves. However, Hu Zuniu obviously won't know about these things.
"Pay with a mobile phone, if the penetration rate of mobile phones is high enough" Hu Zuniu still can't imagine this inevitable trend. After all, it is difficult for people at this time to have an accurate estimate of the development speed and influence of the mobile Internet, and the progress and evolution of technology are subject to the difference in knowledge level, which is not predictable by everyone.
"That's right, replace cash transactions with mobile payments and electronic transactions, and create a cashless society!" Zhou Shi stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Hu Zuniu. Whether it is the father of Web 2.0 or the father of the sharing economy, Yahoo's savior can hardly satisfy Zhou Shi's vanity, and only the founder of a cashless society can give him a sense of achievement.
