Chapter 404 America in the 90s was not out of reach
Hearing this, Wang Qiang already understood: "China is all in industry, and the Chinese population has many mobile phones and many gamers, so the biggest beneficiary of the invention of the Internet is actually China!" ”
Su Su smiled: "Yes, the United States does not have enough industry and population to take advantage of the Internet. Now China's 'Made in China 2025' is to achieve the production of Internet information CNC in 2025 - in fact, it has been realized now, and the last time there was a documentary "Brilliant China" that broadcast thousands of robots shipped by that courier company. There are only 6 people in Yangshan Port in Shanghai. But in China in the 90s, many people were stupid and couldn't even tell the difference between computers and TVs, who would have thought that China would become the biggest beneficiary? ”
Wang Qiang nodded: "But chips or something, the United States should have exploded during this period." ”
Su Su sighed: "There is no doubt that the United States will rapidly expand the advantages of electronic chips during this period, not to mention the monopoly of products, the benefits of patent intellectual property rights alone are unimaginable for ordinary low-end industries - that is, as mentioned earlier, if the software programs of other countries want to be compatible with their products, they must pay a lot of money, which is called the service industry!" This income is to sit on the ground and share the dividends, take the lion's head, and make money lying down. ”
"Then the United States put forward the concept of a new economy in 1996, that is, very tall life science technology, new energy technology, new material technology, space technology, marine technology, environmental technology and management technology, known as the beacon of mankind, which is simply brilliant and cannot be looked at directly!"
Wang Qiang was extremely unhappy: "I don't necessarily have any breakthroughs in their life sciences, and they don't require them to refine an elixir of longevity, at least can anti-cancer and AIDS be cured?" New energy technology is gas burning? Space technology is that all the space shuttles have been laid off, and the drawings of the moon rocket have not been found? ”
Su Su laughed: "Pretending to be a slogan must still be shouted." That's right, when the United States established the hegemony of the petrodollar, the United States soared on the road of the financial industry, deindustrialization, globalization and did not look back. The overdevelopment and excessively high profits of the financial industry have absorbed the best talents and educational resources in the whole society, and every university in the United States regards finance as a major subject, and the science and engineering textbooks of American universities are even more miserable, only the level of physics textbooks in Chinese high schools, and most of the people who take science and engineering courses are non-white ethnicity, and American creativity and productivity have begun to be seriously corroded. ”
Wang Qiang's brows jumped wildly when he heard this: "Don't underestimate high school physics!" Chinese high school students are actually the pinnacle of a person's life's intelligence! College students travel back to high school and immediately become scumbags! ”
Su Su said with a smile: "In short, on the surface, although the United States made 'fast' scientific and technological progress in the 90s, and a small step surpassed the development of ordinary countries for decades, this kind of 'fast' was extremely incommensurate with the status of the United States at that time." Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, which had no rivals, immediately stopped burning money and seeing no benefits in aerospace science and technology...... Therefore, the United States does not understand the truth that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and that the invincible foreign patients will perish in their country. ”
Wang Qiang suddenly realized: "That is to say, the 90s in the United States were actually stagnant? ”
Su Su said in a deep voice: "Yes, the reincarnation of history, the United States has expanded unprecedentedly!" Even if everyone understands the truth, the idea that 'I will leave the hard and boring things of being a scientist to someone else, and I will go to Wall Street to get a high salary' is pervasive in the minds of most young Americans. ”
"So the United States eliminated the Soviet Union, just as Spain wiped out the Inca civilization hundreds of years ago and obtained a huge amount of gold, silver and a large amount of land, Spain did not lead the industrial revolution of the steam engine, but embarked on a road of financial lending, and as a result, after the appearance of the steam train, Spain was the last of the European powers to lay railroad tracks, which is ridiculous!"
Wang Qiang immediately understood: "So it is completely logical for China to catch up with the United States in science and technology in the next ten years!" ”
Su Su said with emotion: "Yes, since 2007, China has demonstrated the mid-course anti-missile satellite technology under the pressure of the United States as a warning - this is the Star Wars concept that the United States fooled the Soviet Union at the beginning, and the United States itself does not dare to guarantee that every shot will be missed!" Then from 2011, China's stealth fighter public debut, and then to the blowout display of high-end equipment in 2015, are the results of China's full catch-up under the pressure of a strong enemy - the so-called peak glory of the United States in the 90s, but as the Western world has always pretended to tout, it seems to be powerful and desperate, but in fact it is not out of reach! ”
Wang Qiang suddenly understood: "One is rotting, the other is catching up, and the gap between the two sides only needs one or two financial wars to narrow the economic gap!" ”
Su Su smiled: "Yes, but that was more than ten years later." And now the road still has to be taken step by step - the time point is 1994, that is, the time when China directly depreciated the exchange rate of the US dollar to RMB to 1:8 in an instant, and frantically introduced foreign capital to promote exports. At this time, the United States is busy tossing Russia and digesting the gains of the former Soviet Union. ”
"At this time, it is also the time when the "Plaza Accord" signed by Japan in 1985, which appreciated the yen for ten years, is about to expire, and the financial groups that have been sucking up blood have begun to withdraw one after another, and Japan will usher in the second blow of the 1995 financial crisis after the bubble collapse in 1990! Anyway, it's good to get used to it. These international investors who withdrew from Japan have found new blood-sucking targets - Southeast Asia and the Four Little Tigers! ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "This is what I just said about killing pigs!" ”
Su Su smiled: "That's right! Both China and Japan regard Southeast Asia as their backyard, and Japan also successfully established a yen zone in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, which is something that the international financial group cannot tolerate. At the same time, it will further shrink China's peripheral space. ”
"Before 1994, when the dollar depreciated, the Four Little Dragons followed the depreciation of the dollar, and their exports were very nourishing, and they once had a sense of superiority in front of China. And now, China has directly depreciated the exchange rate to 1:8 and started to grab export business, and their good days are over. ”
Wang Qiangle was happy: "Could it be that the depreciation in 1994 is still a good time for China?" ”
Su Su smiled: "Who knows? Maybe it's a historical coincidence? And the four little dragons, in order to pretend to be forced, they took the lead in announcing to the world that they had entered the developed regions, according to the standards of the developed regions formulated by the United States, the market should be opened, the finance should be opened, and the following can be imagined! A large amount of international travel capital enters their property market and stock market, pushing their bubbles up wildly, and then causing inflation, Brother Qiang, what should you do if it is? ”
Wang Qiang was stunned: "Brother just wants to listen to the story, do you have to let international capital enter the stock market and real estate market?" Can't you just do something serious? ”
Su Su smiled: "When it comes to the point." To put it bluntly, Sixiaolong is a foundry, and does not have its own unique stunt advantage industry, why should international capital invest in a foundry? ”
Wang Qiang said angrily: "The foundry will be replaced at any time, pretending to be a wool." If there is inflation, that is, there is more money and less things, and you should find a way to get the money out of the market - let the money go into the bank? ”
Su Su said with relief: "Congratulations to Brother Qiang, you graduated from the third grade of primary school in the first semester!" The way to get money into the bank is to raise interest rates, which is unattractive without interest. Therefore, Brother Qiang will notice a common phenomenon, as long as the central bank announces an interest rate hike, the stock market and property market will fall. ”
Wang Qiangle said: "It's the big move of the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and let the funds flow back!" ”
Su Su smiled: "That's right, the principle is the same." However, interest rate hikes need to be cautious, even the Federal Reserve must be accurate in the right time, place, and people, otherwise the consequence of raising interest rates is that the more interest is given, the more debt is owed. The four tigers have no choice but to raise interest rates, so more international hot money is rolling in to eat interest, and the foreign debts of these countries and regions are increasing! ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "Exports are blocked, inflation, and foreign debts are increasing, this is the rhythm that is going to end?" ”
Su Su sighed: "Yes, the standard financial harvesting routine, what you want is that the country can't repay its debts, and then buy assets at a low price, and Latin American countries are this kind of harvested - this is the so-called middle-income trap!" ”
