Chapter 827: The Grave of the Empire

In the two months of 29zuihou, the atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn, and the world seemed to have entered winter in advance, the US stock market collapsed, 30 billion capital evaporated, and those investors all wanted to cry without tears.

In fact, in the past decade, the United States has had serious problems in its development, such as the increase in industrial output by 50 percent, but agriculture has always lagged behind, and workers' wages have not increased, resulting in polarization and a widening gap between the rich and the poor.

The income of the common people did not increase, and as a result, those financial geniuses played the game of capital, borrowed a lot of money, and engaged in advanced consumption, creating the illusion that the capital market was thriving, and covering up the real fatal things.

When the financial markets collapsed, tens of thousands of businesses declared bankruptcy, two-thirds of the country's households fell into abject poverty, and unemployment skyrocketed.

At times like these, the government may be able to redeem itself if it takes strong measures, but President Hoover was a firm believer in liberalism and believed that the market would save itself. In view of the poverty of the people, the model of neighborly mutual assistance is adopted. The result is a very ridiculous problem.

For example, the huge JPMorgan Bank only needs to take care of the problems of dozens of households around the company, but a person who is semi-unemployed has to bear the livelihood of the completely unemployed around him, and this kind of assistance has become a joke.

It's not that Hoover had a low IQ. Or is he a natural idiot? Of course not, the reason is simple, Hoover has to play for those gold lords. It is not enough for the financial predators to sweep away the windfall profits of the capital market, they also want the country to continue to sink in crisis. Then take advantage of this opportunity to buy high-quality assets and make another windfall!

Because of this, by the beginning of the 30s, the number of registered unemployed people in the United States exceeded 6 million. And the number of people who are invisibly unemployed, semi-unemployed, may even approach 10 million. Germany, which has the closest economic ties to the United States, has more than 5 million unemployed. Japan, which has always relied on the U.S. market, has also lost more than 1 million unemployed, and what scares Japan more than unemployment is the rapid decline in trade volume.

Compared with the peak, Japan's exports to the United States have fallen to only about 200 million yuan, less than 10% of the original amount, and they are still declining. With the loss of the U.S. market, the four small Japanese islands suddenly became dead islands, and in addition to expanding their armaments, they were preparing for foreign expansion. There is no choice.

Britain and France have not yet recovered from the trauma of the First World War, and their economies have collapsed, and these two countries are no better, and they have been recruited. The whole shijie wailed, and in the midst of this environment. Only two countries are relatively peaceful, one is Russia. One is China!

Russia is engaged in jihua economy. Almost in two parallel planes with Shijie. The more the economic crisis, the happier the Russians became, Stalin had just tasted defeat at the hands of China. Stalin's determination to develop industry was unprecedentedly strong.

He took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dump large quantities of agricultural products in exchange for valuable funds to buy machinery. On the great plains of Ukraine, there are millions of starvations, but this is no longer in the heart of the Iron Commander.

Compared with Russia, China has attracted more attention. This is a large free economy, and whether China will survive or not, everyone is waiting to see.

However, China's stock market and housing market have continued to rise, and prices have repeatedly hit new highs, showing that Shijie is still full of confidence in China. Of course, this is just a faΓ§ade, and China's top brass knows that this is just a prelude to sheep shearing.

Zhang Tinglan has convened three economic meetings in a row, and the main members of the cabinet and members of the New People's Party Executive Committee have all gathered.

As an authority on the economy and the government's steward, Wang Yongjiang spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, the influx of Western financial capital into China is very obvious, and if decisive measures are taken to suppress the stock market and at the same time re-tighten the relaxed financial controls, we are expected to let these financial capitals cut off the market." ”

"In that case, let's do it right away." Zhang Taiyan immediately said: "These guys are all uneasy, let them be unlucky, and people in the world will only applaud." ”

Wang Shuhan smiled bitterly: "Things are not so simple, if we take action first, we will end up with the truth." Politicians in various countries are anxious because of the economic crisis, and if we rush to the front, we will definitely become the most haode target and be jointly attacked. ”

Finance Minister Yan Zepu also said: "The president has long issued an order for various ministries and commissions to jointly compile a procurement list, and we have to buy a lot of things. If we offend the Western financial consortium to death, I am afraid that it will affect our procurement actions, and I think we will have to weigh it carefully. ”

Zhang Tinglan didn't speak at this time, in fact, he also knew in his heart that things were not as simple as he imagined, and it was impossible to solve the problem by relying on one size fits all. The financial predators have already suffered a loss last time, and if they are not sure, they will not make a second mistake.

It is precisely because he sees that Zhang Tinglan still has a demand for others, so he will rush to the Chinese market unscrupulously. These international financiers are the group of people with the highest IQ, and if you want to compete with them, you really need to add 10,000 hearts, and it is too important to be proportionate.

The big guy argued for a long time, and he had to set his eyes on Zhang Tinglan, wanting to hear his opinion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the weak, a crisis is a danger, and for the strong, this is an opportunity. Of course, we cannot allow Western capital to take what it wants, but we must also face up to the problems of Chinese society, and some garbage and toxins should also be cleaned up. ”

Zhang Tinglan's words are of course not untargeted, there are two fatal problems in the development of industry in recent years, the first is that the quantity is there, and the quality cannot keep up. The second is that new entrepreneurs cannot rise, and the economy is still dominated by powerful families.

Since the era of Fengtian, several famous entrepreneurs have been supported by the government, and even have relatives with high-ranking officials, even Zhang Tinglan is no exception. In addition, Zhang Tinglan also founded a large number of companies and controlled many industries in the name of military welfare. These industries are very competitive under the protection of power, and the motivation to innovate jishu is also insufficient, and today, these enterprises have become a burden to the state.

Zhang Tinglan is not unclear, but he himself is the culprit, not only he has a large number of industries, such as his father-in-law Zhou's family, such as Qiao Lanyun's brother Qiao Ruixuan, these are all family members, without a proper opportunity, they can't start.

The current crisis has given Zhang Tinglan an excuse for drastic reforms, and completely introduced China's economy into formalization and marketization. As the so-called big waves wash the sand, Zhang Tinglan also wants to really support a group of entrepreneurs, so that they can grow up and compete with Shijie, as long as this is the case, in order to support the sky of China's economy.

Wang Yongjiang is the person who knows Zhang Tinglan's mind best, and as soon as he heard him say this, he immediately cleared Zhang Tinglan's plan. Cutting meat from oneself requires great courage and courage, Zhang Tinglan can do this, and he can't help but give a thumbs up secretly.

"President, since you have this idea, I'm afraid that the financial market will be reshuffled. Shouldn't we give some small and medium-sized investors a warning so that they don't go bankrupt? ”

"Yes, but time is limited, if you can understand, you can understand, if you can't understand, then you are looking for your own death, and we have no choice. I believe that after this reshuffle, the economic situation will be like a rebirth of Nirvana, and it will advance by leaps and bounds. ”

……

"Anshan Iron and Steel has risen again, and it has risen again!"

"Needless to say, I don't look at what company Anshan Iron and Steel is, it is an industry supported by the president, and it can be worse. When I go back, I'm going to take a house in Hangzhou as well, and throw it all in. In a year, I'm afraid I'll be able to get two or three more houses. ”

The front of the Shanghai Stock Exchange is crowded with people, very lively, a large number of speculators come every day, Wall Street is silent, Shanghai has developed, many people jokingly call this the west is not bright and the east is bright.

But just when everyone was discussing hotly, suddenly Anshan Iron and Steel and several other companies' brands were taken off. These include Dalian Shipbuilding, Nanhai Petroleum, Fengtian Automobile, etc., all of which are the darlings in the eyes of shareholders.

All of a sudden they were all suspended, and everyone was extremely surprised. The securities exchange quickly gave the answer, these companies are involved in the defense industry, and they want to carry out shareholding reform, clean up equity, and temporarily suspend trading in order to avoid too much impact on the market.

After the news spread, an atmosphere of panic spread rapidly, but before everyone could react, more than a dozen other companies were also investigated, and their problems were mainly unqualified financial reports, which had serious loopholes.

This series of actions by the Chinese government seems to be rectifying its own enterprises, but in fact it is trapping foreign capital. The capital that came in also focused on speculating on these high-performing stocks, but the result was temporarily suspended, and they couldn't cash out and leave the market, isn't this a big trouble!

Originally, financial capital wanted to live in a thousand flowers, and not a single leaf would be touched. As a result, the capital fell into it at this time, and they didn't dare to let the stock market crash, otherwise the capital would be wasted, and this feeling of not being able to go up is really uncomfortable!

These people can only do the work of the Chinese government desperately, and even many people have directly found Zhang Tinglan, and the United States and Britain and other countries have also frequently exerted pressure. However, the Chinese government is just talking about it, we are dealing with internal economic problems, and as long as it is completed, we will definitely restore the financial market as soon as possible, and we will definitely not disappoint investors from all countries.

In the face of this kind of cookie-cutter answers, these financial predators are crazy, they are tens of millions of dollars a minute, how can they have time to grind with China!

However, at this time, Zhang Tinglan left Beijing again and went to the west to inspect. Of course, this operation is to hide from trouble, but Zhang Tinglan also wants to meet an important person, that is, the king of Afghanistan, to be precise, the former king Amanullah!

Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires, where the British are unlucky, the Russians are unlucky, and the Americans are close behind. The big countries have fallen into the sand one after another, but they have never tired of it, and the reason is very simple, that is, Afghanistan is too important, and as long as it controls it, it will pinch the heart of the Eurasian continent.

Zhang Tinglan is ambitious, and if she wants to restore China's status, she will naturally not let go of Afghanistan! (To be continued......)
