Chapter 1997 The Fox and the Chicken
Mae Gang also received a directive.
The ultimate purpose of its directives is to accomplish one action – to stop reverse shipping to Western countries, or to raise the threshold for transportation in their countries.
To put it bluntly, it is to take the shipping on the edge of Southeast Asia as the middle point, and the transportation cost and tax cost from the inside to the outside remain the same, but if you import from the outside to the inside, both tax and transportation costs must be redefined, and this definition is naturally higher.
It is cheap to export goods and goods from Southeast Asia and northern countries across the ocean, but if you want to sell goods from Western countries, the cost has reached a new level.
As a highly monopolistic and currently the world's largest maritime logistics company, Meigang's decision will have a very drastic impact on the world's international free trade, and will even be scolded by the joint organization.
If this directive was put forward by someone else, it might have encountered great doubts, but it was none other than Jiang Yang, the real boss behind the scenes, who said this.
Everyone understands that this is a soil emperor who says nothing about it, and no one dares to refute his words, let alone question them.
The word "do as it is" has long become the ironclad discipline of the Jiang family.
At 10:30 a.m., the Mae Port Shipping officially issued a notice at 12 p.m., and sent a commissioner to negotiate with Huaxia in the north of Mae Hong Kong, Bangladesh in the west, and Indonesia in the east to negotiate the issue of taxation.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, all the proposals were adopted, and a joint announcement was issued by a number of countries.
"It's easy for me to sell you things, but if you want to export your things and sell them to us, the price will be much higher."
"The emergence of the New Silk Road has brought the countries of the East closer together, for today. And today, is it finally time to fire the first shot? ”
When this directive appeared, economic experts from various countries expressed their views on this major adjustment of the international free trade market.
"The hegemony of the US dollar will not be extinguished, and it may be a bit fantastical to use this method to prevent the US dollar from standing in the international arena."
"On one side is the union of the strong and the strong, and on the other hand, ...... Alas, look at what our neighbors are, Cambodia and Vietnam, the old, weak, sick and disabled, this market is mosquito meat for people, and it is harmless to eat it or not......"
The experts appeared in front of the television, on the online media. Some experts danced excitedly, cheering up the people, and kept saying that we have finally stood up, we are strong, and we are finally going to take action to clean up the big beauty, and they have the momentum of lying down and tasting courage and finally getting revenge. The masses of the people listened to the clouds and fog, followed by the same excitement, one by one, like soldiers who had won a battle, and all the pride and glory were written on their faces and in the words on the Internet.
Some experts take a different view and worry about their country.
There is no doubt that Laos and the United States are leading the world in terms of military strength and economic strength, and the gap in their height is not a star and a half at all, but a qualitative gap like a chasm. Now that such a major economic friction has suddenly appeared, I am afraid that there will be unimaginable consequences, and it may even be war. When the people heard this, they were naturally worried, some of them said that they would fight with them, and some of them prayed for world peace. Of course, there are also those keyboard warriors who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement and hide behind the computer to make a lot of nonsense.
But what is most sober is some of the views expressed by a certain Russian economist.
"The current adjustment of the global trade and economic situation should only be an economic strategic adjustment, and it will never rise to the height of war. In terms of trade, the East has greatly restricted the export threshold of European and American countries, and there must be economic blows and wear and tear, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones. For ordinary people, such an adjustment is not something to celebrate. Because the threshold for Western countries to export has been raised, it means that the prices at which people in ASEAN and other countries buy imported products will also increase. ”
"Cars, watches, household appliances, as long as the products or accessories rely on all the products imported, the price will have a very big increase. This means that goods that people can buy normally can no longer be purchased at the same price. From the perspective of the international situation, the adjustment of Meigang this time is to force the capitalists of Western countries to invest and build factories in ASEAN, China and other countries, so as to achieve the purpose of OEM production and reduce import costs. ”
"First, it can solve local employment and tax problems, and second, they can learn from the technology and experience of these manufacturers."
The expert sat in front of the TV and said his views in an orderly manner: "But on the whole, in the international situation, this is conducive to the development of all countries, but in the end, it is the people at the bottom who pay the bill." After all, it is the people who spend the money, and it is the governments of various countries that receive the money. ”
"I don't understand where the central idea of some people's joy and excitement is, and I can't figure out what they think."
Of course, the analysis of the last expert did not appear in the television media of the country concerned, and the Russian masses also enjoyed watching it, like watching monkeys, and it was not their business.
In any case, Jiang Yang's order can be regarded as setting off an uproar in the global trade market.
At 3:30 p.m. on May 3, 2007, such a piece of news appeared in the Western media led by the United States.
"I really can't imagine any other country that can lead the world like the United States."
"Is there one?"
On TV, on the computer, on the mobile phone, an old Western man said seriously to the remembered camera: "I really can't imagine the second one." ”
This person is the first "leader" that Lao Mei has put on the stage today.
Immediately after that, the overwhelming news reappeared, it was a well-known scholar in the West, talking eloquently to the camera.
The fox said to the chicken, Give me a few of your eggs every month, and I will save them for you, and when you are too old to lay eggs, I will give them back to you. So, the chickens of the whole village gave the eggs to the fox as agreed, and the fox ate and drank every day, and his mouth was full of oil. Even in order to please the foxes around them, they gave each other a few eggs that they couldn't eat. ”
The Western scholar continued with a mockery on his face: "Many years later, when the chicken is old, when he looks for the fox to retrieve the eggs, the fox drinks another meal of old hen soup. Oh, what an interesting story......"
"Don't ask me who this story is for, and don't ask me why I'm telling this story. I will only tell you that more than 90% of the world's people have the same fate as the old hen in the story, and the United States is by no means the fox. ”
"It's ridiculous that a group of foxes, despite being such clowns, are desperately trying to compete with the United States for the right to lead the world, and even now they are ready to do so."
The scholar laughed, "Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive me for laughing out loud. ”
When this news appeared, it instantly caused a large sensation around the world, especially on social media in Eastern countries.
Suddenly, turmoil returned.
And Jiang Yang, who was far away on Taiping Island, also laughed after seeing the news.
"It seems that these Jews also know the way of shutting down, their clever tongues and eloquent words are not worse than ours at all, and now Piqing's old boy has met an opponent......
