On the morning of September 12, Ziqi urgently contacted Fan Wuxian and asked him to do a live broadcast program.

The sudden blow of the 911 incident can be imagined that the financial and business circles should have reacted very violently to this, especially after the complete destruction of the two World Trade Center buildings, which has caused people to worry about the direction of the world economy.

Therefore, this time, under the promotion of Ziqi, CCTV's "Daily Financial Interview" column invited economic experts, military experts, and well-known multinational entrepreneurs at home and abroad to gather together to discuss this matter.

The losses of the United States in this incident can be described as extremely severe.

The World Trade Center, located on Manhattan Island, New York, was destroyed in an instant, and this place where the world's business forces converged at a cost of up to 1.1 billion US dollars, there were as many as 1,200 enterprises from all over the world, 50,000 people went to work in normal times, and about 150,000 business personnel and tourists came and went every day.

Two months ago, two U.S. real estate companies bid for the lease of two skyscrapers and their underground shopping malls for $32.5 billion. The world-famous Morgan Stanley Tim Hui Bank is the largest tenant, renting a total of 25 floors for 3,500 employees.

Two skyrocketing buildings were wiped out in one fell swoop, the Pentagon's restoration work was at least in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and the loss of talent was hard to measure.

The transport and tourism sectors have suffered serious losses, and it is estimated that in the coming period, some institutions of the global financial markets may change as a result of this crisis, and the direction of the development of financial markets will also be adjusted. Four U.S. domestic flights were hijacked in one day, causing huge casualties and property damage, which is rare in history.

All flights across the U.S. are grounded, and flights from other countries to the U.S. are either grounded or rerouted to Canada. Last year, the average total revenue of US airlines in a day was about $360 million. The civil aviation of the United States has been going downhill in the past two years, and the impact of this incident on the civil aviation industry is very serious, and it is possible that the turnover of civil aviation in the United States will drop by about half in the coming months.

Closely related to the civil aviation industry is tourism, people in developed countries go out on vacation, take a large proportion of airplanes, but this attack caused 266 people to make suicide bombs, the psychological wounds caused by fear to people are difficult to heal in a short period of time, will greatly affect the development of tourism.

The insurance industry is facing a predicament, and property insurance for casualties, several buildings, four planes, company property, and countless automobiles has not yet been counted, and some experts have initially estimated that the losses will be between $100 and $15 billion, which is unbearable for insurance companies with annual revenues of about $40 billion.

Securities dealers and exchanges suffered heavy losses, and securities markets such as the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Exchange were all closed. There have only been two closures in the history of the New York Stock Exchange, one within four months of the start of World War I, and the other during the Great Depression from March 4 to 14, 1933. The direct trading losses from the stock market shutdown are about $1 billion.

After presenting a lot of numbers and analysis, Ziqi kicked off the interview.

An expert on US issues said that the economic impact of the 911 incident in the United States is not only limited to the direct losses caused by the incident itself, but more importantly, it has affected people's investment and consumer confidence, causing the US dollar to depreciate relative to mainstream currencies, the stock market to fall, and the price of oil and other strategic materials to rise for a time, and to affect the mainstream financial markets such as Europe and Asia in real time, causing the market to overreact, resulting in a slowdown in the economic growth of the United States and other countries in the world.

What can be seen is that world politics and international relations before 911 and the situation after 911 are already markedly different, and the US war against terrorist activities will cause new changes in international relations and geopolitics, triggering interaction between major powers. Changes in the international political, military, and diplomatic situation will certainly affect the policy choices of other countries' economic and social development.

"For China, in order to minimize the negative impact of the 911 incident on our economy, we should be prepared and take precautions. It is necessary not only to pay attention to the economic impact of the 911 incident in the United States on China, but also to study the long-term impact of the strategic, tactical, and policy orientations adopted by the United States and the international community in dealing with terrorist activities on China's economy, and to follow up and study the changes in international politics and economy after the 911 incident in a timely manner. The expert said, "As a big country, China can mainly rely on the huge domestic market to do a good job in the economy, and should further intensify reforms, take measures to stabilize people's psychological expectations, expand residents' consumption demand, and stimulate private investment and production and business activities." We should take advantage of the opportunity of China's accession to the WTO, speed up the pace of utilizing foreign capital, and attract foreign capital through institutional innovation, transparent, honest, and efficient administrative management and a thriving economy. ”

Another economic expert said, "For the people of the world, the fight against terrorism will be a long, arduous and complex struggle for human society. This incident is a stark reminder that in today's civilized world, we have a common enemy -- terrorism, which is the modern-day Satan of the devil, whose cold claws are ready to take the precious lives of our loved ones at any time. Terrorists can use any means to create trouble at any time and anywhere, to hit the world's financial and commodity markets and to undermine confidence. International speculative funds will also stir up trouble and make profits, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by terrorist activities to engage in speculative activities, making huge profits by creating terrorist incidents, and increasing financial risks.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with the international community and crack down on terrorist activities; On the other hand, it is necessary to study the issue of increasing reserves of international strategic commodities, especially oil reserves, so as to minimize the impact of financial turmoil caused by terrorist activities on our economy. It is our common responsibility to fight terrorism and protect the lives of our citizens, and at least on this point, the interests of China and the United States are the same. ”

Another economic expert analyzed more illustrative data, pointing out that the 911 incident will hit Americans' consumer confidence, plunge the U.S. economy into recession, and delay the time for economic recovery. Since the second half of last year, the US economy has been sluggish, with poor earnings of high-tech companies, massive layoffs, a sharp drop in investment, and a large trade deficit, and the economy mainly relying on consumption, which accounts for 70 percent of the gross national product. The U.S. growth rate in the second quarter of this year was only 2 per 1,000 percent and the unemployment rate reached 5 percent in August, which has cast a shadow over consumer confidence, which fell to an eight-year low.

The sudden attack has undoubtedly worsened the US economy, which is enough to plummet the already fragile consumer confidence and shake the consumer spending that supports US economic growth. Declining consumer confidence, falling stock markets, and declining corporate profits will further limit firms' ability to invest and finance, and corporate mergers and acquisitions will decline accordingly, affecting already negative growth in US investment. The impact of consumption and investment could tip the U.S. economy into recession, significantly delaying the recovery of the U.S. economy.

When it was Fan Wuxi's turn to speak, everyone responded with warm applause.

"Mr. Fan Wuzhi is already an old friend of our column, as the boss of Fan's Investment Group, he has a lot of interests in the United States, and we would like to hear his opinion on this matter." Ziqi said.

Fan Wuxian greeted the camera, and then said, "Everyone, I want to show a set of pictures first, please take a look." ”

What Fan Wuxian displayed on the big screen is a screenshot of the front page of newspapers and magazines around the world about the 911 incident today.

"As a public figure, you have to have a judgment of the general trend. China now needs stability at home and an image externally, and its own progress must force you to increase your soft power, which naturally has respect for universal values. Because you are a member of the world, nature includes **, freedom, human rights, and so on. "What I'm showing now is the front page of the 911 incident, all the front pages of the newspapers of various countries, all the front pages are 911 news reports, and only our page is the reception of the leaders." It is said that the Americans are going to make a display board about the 911 incident in the world's major media newspapers, and I think that when you stand in front of this display board in the near future, you will immediately have a momentary feeling that China must become a part of the world, and we must have a common value judgment. ”

Fan Wuxie's words made many people feel faceless, but when they saw the front page headlines of the world's media were the World Trade Tower, which was pouring down in smoke, everyone suddenly had a feeling that China was too far behind the world.

Although China has been reforming and opening up for more than 20 years, some things have not changed, and in this world that has gradually become one, excessive differences are obviously not beneficial, especially when the world's eyes are focused on this display board, what will everyone think?

Although several guests later expressed some opinions on the 911 incident, but in any case, the visual impact brought to people by the pictures displayed by Fan Wuxian was greater, Fan Wuxian did not say much, but relied on the pictures of the front page content of newspapers in various countries that he temporarily collected, and conquered the audience in an instant.

Or, while most people are still talking about how many more Americans have died, Fan's collection of pictures will calm everyone's minds a little.

After all, it is the huge ideological gap that is the most important cause of confrontation and confrontation.

There are no pop-ups
