"I said Director Wu, didn't you say that pollution and development coexist at the same time? But in this case, even if it is technological progress, then we can't get rid of pollution?"

This is Xu Zheng's wife, Tao Hong, she also appeared in this movie, and her status is still very detached, she came to Thailand with the crew, it's good, she is a tourist. However, it can be seen from this sentence that this woman's thinking is very thoughtful.

Wu Xiang did not answer the question directly, but asked another question: "Do you know how much fuel was consumed by cars in the past 100 kilometers?"

"......" both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"In the past, cars burned dozens of liters of oil for 100 kilometers! That's just an ordinary car, because the previous car engines were all steel, but now we use aluminum, how light are aluminum engines? That's why they are fuel-efficient! Isn't this technological progress?"

"But you still haven't answered my question, isn't the pollution still there? Even though fuel consumption is lower now, it seems that more oil is needed. ”

"Yes, but you know, this is just a sign of development, that is, we have more and more people driving now, and our lives are more convenient, right?"

"You, this, you ......" Tao Hong didn't know what to say, it seemed right, it didn't seem right, Wu Xiang's words were still around!

Actually, it's a Jevons paradox, which is that the more we save resources, the more resources we spend, because we're constantly evolving.

"It's not just cars, it's a lot of our lives. are constantly developing, getting better and better, more power-saving. It's more fuel-efficient, and it's more convenient for you. We have produced a lot of pollution, and I admit it, but do you know how strict our pollution was in the past?"

"......" still shook his head, as if he had forgotten.

"Just say me. Wu Xiang began to give his own examples, "My family is from Shencheng." It was the old industrial base, and when I was a kid, I looked at the sky, and sometimes it was even red! The smoke coming out of the steel mills. I saw the huge cooling tower of the power plant with my own eyes, so there is no need to talk nonsense. But now, it's just a few days of smog, which one is stricter?"

yes. This is really what Wu Xiang saw with his own eyes. Although it is not excluded here that there is a premise for the relocation of heavy industry enterprises in Shencheng, you must know that our current industrial production capacity is much stronger than when Wu Xiang was smaller, that is, at least 20 years ago. I can't find a clean sky, at least in the eastern industrial cities. Right?

But is that the reality?

In fact, we are now experiencing the fact that 'development solves pollution', but this is a silent process that many people can't see!

"Let me talk about the consequences of not developing, that is, we will always be the 'factory' of those countries in Europe and the United States. That's right, that is, they moved their high-polluting industries to our country, but if we continue to stay in the same place, then well, these high-polluting industries will stay in our country, and they won't be able to leave, so how can pollution be managed?"

"How can this be? Isn't this right? Isn't Europe and the United States solved?"

"Didn't you say it before, they moved away?" "That's right, that's the reason, then, if they can move these highly polluting industries in Europe and the United States, we can too, right? We are a big copycat country, so why don't we use this method?"

Wu Xiang's words seem to have opened a window, it seems that this trick is good.

"But can we do that?"

"Brother, how can this thing be moved? What will happen to our people if it moves out?"

Everyone has been brought in by Wu Xiang, and they have already started thinking about it.

You know, we are a country with a population of more than one billion, and the pressure on this employment problem is very great, and although some polluting industries are very polluting, they really drive employment!

"Yes! We can do it!" Wu Xiang gave an affirmative answer as soon as he came up, he was so sure?

Wu Xiang is really a little sure, he is reborn, although when he was reborn, this result has not yet been fully revealed, but this form is still very good.

"Actually, there are two main points. Everyone should often hear the shouts from above, to industrial transformation, industrial upgrading, right?"

"That's right!" even if you don't listen to the news, you know it.

"In fact, industrial upgrading and transformation is just that. Let me give you an example, which is the United Kingdom, which was also known as the 'factory of the world' back then. But I am afraid that everyone does not know how this Britain is declining, the reason is very simple, in fact, at that time, they were doing industrial transformation. To put it simply, the British saw that they were very good, so they didn't want to be as happy as before, and these guys started to invest ......"

Investment?

It's really an investment, back then, that is, before the First World War, Britain's national strength was very strong, known as 'the sun never sets', with such a strong national strength, it was naturally very rich, and the pound was the world's common currency at that time, and foreign countries used this pound to make foreign exchange reserves.

The British looked at it, so what kind of work did they do? Just eat the interest, so they began to make financial investments, all kinds of investments.

In the history books, this is called the export of capital. And this kind of output leads to the fact that Britain is no longer the world's factory, so what about the world's factory?

One is Germany, in fact, Wu Xiang said something in "Rebirth", which is what Dr. Cartel said, the relationship between 'Made in China' and 'Made in Germany'.

The other is the United States, which used to be the source of raw materials for the United Kingdom. Like cotton or something, but then the British wanted to enjoy it, so. It would be enough to simply build factories in the United States, and the British would do the same.

What is the result of these investments by the British?

Obviously, the British did not play finance well and shot themselves in the foot, not only did Germany grow stronger, but the United States also took advantage of the opportunity to rise. It became the world's largest power, and its GDP was the world's largest before World War II.

Britain really played too badly at that time, almost a beginner level who couldn't play finance. But these Brits still want to play, they want to play, and they have played many times after that, mostly in failure.

In fact. There is another particular reason why the UK is doing this. That is, Britain is just an island country, even if he 'never sets', but because of its small place and the restrictions of few people, there is no way to further expand. This point is also very similar to Japan, otherwise how could there be a 'Anglo-Japanese alliance', and this strange combination is called 'glorious isolation' in history!

But. This trick of the British is actually very good. The United States later learned very well, and of course, they made a lot of changes, as well as some of their own advantages, and finally achieved what Britain wanted to achieve, which ......

I can't help but say that Yingmei is really a harmonious father and son.

In that case, our country should now learn from what Britain and the United States did in the past? Our country is also very good now, with more than $4 trillion in foreign exchange.

Let's talk about this matter, if you want to talk about investment, it is not wrong, and it is indeed doing, we have invested a lot of oil fields, mines, fields, many, many of us Chinese do not know, in fact, we have become big landlords, big mine owners.

But, let's not forget, we have a population of more than a billion people, and our employment problem has always been very stressful!

So what to do?

This requires a change of tactics.

Overseas investment projects, or factories!

This is also very ordinary, but we can export labor, and this is the key!

Yes, doesn't exporting labor services abroad solve the problem of employment?

And this is actually a model, we can completely change this model, that is, invest in a foreign factory, and then export the labor in the past, of course, there will definitely be foreign workers, but we naturally become managers, and in this way, isn't that equivalent to moving pollution overseas, and then solving the problem of employment pressure?

That's right, that's the solution!

Because of development, we have money, because of development, we have technology, then we can follow the example of Britain and the United States to invest, and most of our investments are in third world countries, we can build factories there in the name of developing the local economy, and we can also export labor services, and we can also expand our entire production capacity.

You know, this is the real 'world factory'!

The whole world is the factory of our Chinese, we not only export capital, we also export people!

This is the solution to pollution, of course, it may sound a bit unjust, but at least we didn't go to the third world with guns, ammunition and airplanes, right? And the economy there really needs to develop, and the third world countries do need to build.

Development and pollution are good friends, so if the third world wants to develop, they naturally can't avoid the process of pollution, right?

When Wu Xiang said all these things, the entire crew of "Thai Legend" was stupid!

They didn't expect that Wu Xiang would have such a way, and they didn't expect that Wu Xiang was a ......

No wonder, this guy is the boss!

Well, in fact, these tricks are not original to Wu Xiang, because in a few years, as long as people who pay a little attention to the news can see that our country will have foreign investment almost every day, either to help such and such a country build high-speed rail, or to help such and such a country build a canal, anyway, we Chinese are very busy, the whole world is looking for things to build.

Moreover, the most important thing is that because we want to ensure quality and quantity, and ensure speed, we must also let Chinese workers build, which is a must, because many countries are really lazy to do it.

Let's just talk about those black uncles in Africa, it's not that we discriminate against them, these guys don't know what's wrong, it was originally colonized by the Western powers, but as a result, the Western powers didn't learn the good things, but instead learned a stinky problem. For example, it is a common occurrence in Africa that you have negotiated a good salary, but then you regret it after less than a day of work, and immediately organize to go on strike and bargain with you.

This...... It's really forcing us to our own people!

"That's not right!," someone thought there was a problem, "if the Third World also developed, where would the polluting industries go?"

Wu Xiang smiled, "It's very simple, didn't there be an economic policy before the Austrian Bar came to power? Industry is going to return to the United States, and they actually don't care about pollution now?"

......As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed, because they had already figured out that this polluting industry actually represents economic growth and development, and when in the end, everyone has developed, and Europe and the United States that used to enjoy a comfortable life may have problems, and at that time, they will beg others to 'pollute' them.

That's it now, Comrade Guanhai shouted under Zhenhua's large crane that the industry of the United States should return to its homeland!

"Lao Wu, I said that you simply passed the civil service exam, I think you will have more development in your career!" In the end, it is natural that no one is not persuaded by Wu Xiang, but if Xu Zheng doesn't come to ridicule him, is he worthy of himself?

Wu Xiang ignored Xu Zheng's ridicule, this guy just smiled, and then said: "Let's talk about environmental protection again, don't you think about it, just talk about PM2.5, isn't this thing a little weird?"

Weird, so what's weird? (To be continued......

PS: Thank you Mu Xiao for your reward, thank you for the monthly ticket of the Longyou merchant, thank you for the black car!

Don't worry, the black car will be sorted out and tell you the truth about this PM2.5. Of course, the black car is definitely not an anti-environmentalist, the black car just wants to tell everyone that we are not wrong with environmental protection, but there is no need to be so extreme.

Thank you for your support, thank you!
