Chapter 319: Crisis Erupts
September 25th.
Homo sapiens is busy building internally.
At this time, a crisis in the world has reached a critical juncture that is difficult to suppress.
Despite the defeat in Southeast Asia in April this year, the Federal Reserve and the Board of Governors of the City on a Hill behind it have been introducing various economic measures to try to stabilize the North American economy.
However, the Council on the Hilltop made a fool of himself in June.
To be precise, it was not a stupid move, but the city on the top of the hill misjudged the strength and technical reserves of the Homo sapiens company and launched an economic blockade by mistake.
In particular, one of the key measures is to manipulate the overall price increase of semiconductors for Homo sapiens, and to withdraw foreign semiconductor companies from Sing Tao.
Originally, according to the plan, it should have been Homo sapiens because of the loss of the semiconductor industry in Sing Tao, and it would face a comprehensive rise in semiconductor prices, and Homo sapiens would suffer heavy losses.
But things are turning out on the contrary.
Homo sapiens quickly launched optoelectronic semiconductor products, which not only met their own needs, but also fought against them.
Amerika, which steals chickens and rice, and a number of semiconductor companies, not only did not cut the meat of Homo sapiens, but also lost the Southeast Asian market, and faced the strong squeeze of Homo sapiens in the semiconductor field.
Semiconductors, as one of the core pillar industries in North America, collapsed in an instant.
Although America used various financial means to temporarily stabilize the North American stock market for the first time, it was only temporarily suppressed, and the fundamental problem was still not solved.
For example, the sales volume of American semiconductor products in Asia, Africa and Latin America fell by 71.2% year-on-year in June ~ September this year.
Among them, Southeast Asia decreased by 95.7%, South Asia decreased by 63.1%, West Asia decreased by 26.5%, and Central Asia and Lucia decreased by 72.3%.
The decrease was 74.2% in Africa and 41.5% in Latin America.
Originally, Europe, the United States and East Asia have shown a downward trend in the consumption of semiconductor products in recent years, and they are counting on the increase in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Well, now the emerging markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America are directly finished.
Southeast Asia is the base camp of Homo sapiens, and American semiconductors can only be sold in Annam, Canglan and Khmer.
South Asia was originally a big market, but the economy was hit hard by the impact of the Assam War, and Homo sapiens imported a large number of cheap refurbished machines through local compradors in Dongba and Tianzhu, which squeezed this market.
Due to the oil and gas in West Asia, they can obtain a lot of gold dollars, and they have purchased a lot of optoelectronic semiconductor products from Homo sapiens.
Persia, on the other hand, acted as a second-tier dealer, importing various products of Homo sapiens to Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Not to mention the African region, some time ago, Wu Wei, the trade representative of Homo sapiens, personally visited the door and opened the entire African market.
In Latin America, Homo sapiens used the underground channels of clover oak on the one hand, and on the other hand, it supported various gangs and imported various cheap products in large quantities.
Lucia had no way to import electronic products due to the blockade of Europe and the United States, so Caesar simply purchased electronic products from Homo sapiens to fill the gap in American semiconductor products.
Look around.
In the entire region of Asia, Africa and Latin America, there is not a single place that is not affected.
Apple, Dell, HP, Samsung, Intel, Texas Instruments, TSMC, Infineon, ADM and other large semiconductor companies reported their third-quarter earnings.
The U.S. stocks, which were half-dead before, collapsed in an instant.
The market immediately had a chain reaction, after losing the entire Southeast Asian market, many European and American companies were negatively affected, and now the collapse of semiconductors has finally pushed the first domino.
This was followed by a plunge in the stock markets of major economies such as Dongying, South Korea, Britain, and France.
The international financial market is full of mourning.
There are countless trapeze artists on the rooftop.
……
Li Qingye, who has just completed the implantation of life-prolonging symbiotic worms.
He also recuperates in a secret sanatorium near Taunggyi.
Suddenly, a briefing on international events popped up in his internal special tablet, and he glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose:
"Finally can't hold on?"
He looked up and commanded, "Schedule a video call." ”
Sanchi Badalal made a skirt salute: "Yes, sir." ”
A few minutes later, she came over with a large-screen special video talker.
Li Qingye casually typed in Wang Xinya's name.
After a while, Wang Xinya, the head of the finance department, appeared in the video screen.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman."
"Xinya, how is the international financial market now?"
Wang Xinya quickly sorted out some information in her heart, and then replied: "At present, Europe, Dongying, South Korea, Dayuan Island, and Latin America have all been affected by the financial impact, and Wall Street is harvesting various high-quality assets in these regions. ”
"Our finance department has made an assessment that it is expected that in the next six months, more than 150,000 enterprises in Europe and the Far East will go bankrupt, and the number of directly unemployed people may exceed 200 million."
Li Qingye's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that there will be a large wave of unemployed people in the Far East next, and they will most likely seek to immigrate to our side." ”
Wang Xinya also deeply agrees: "This possibility is very high, but in some places, it is also possible to forcibly stabilize the internal economy by stimulating real estate and promoting infrastructure." ”
"Hehe, what's the situation with Annan Real Estate?" Li Qingye's gaze seemed to penetrate the mountains and mountains, and he saw the crazy property market in Annan at this time.
Wang Xinya is in charge of the economic research field of Homo sapiens, and she naturally knows Annan's economic problems at this time:
"The bubble is too big, although there was a lot of hot money that fled from us some time ago, but that can only make Annan's economy shine again."
"How many dollars do we have in trade at the moment?"
Wang Xinya flipped through the internal database: "At present, there are 325.7 billion, and these gold dollars are used as foreign exchange reserves by various countries. ”
She then shared the data with Li Qingye.
Li Qingye took a look.
At present, the region with the largest amount of foreign exchange in gold dollars is West Asia, with a total of 142.2 billion.
Then there is Lucia's 37.2 billion, and the Far East adds up to 92.5 billion.
The rest of Central Asia, South Asia, the Pacific island countries, Latin America and Africa add up to just over 50 billion.
"What's the situation over there?"
Wang Xinya replied with a smile: "Because we have a lot of gold dollars in reserve, plus direct trade with us, many countries in West Asia have not been seriously affected, especially Persia. ”
"It seems that after this economic crisis, they will strengthen their relationship with us."
Li Qingye and Wang Xinya talked for half an hour and decided on some strategies.
Homo sapiens does not look at companies in Europe, the United States and the Far East, after all, there are big differences in the industrial systems of the two countries.
If you take Jin Yuan to acquire enterprises in these regions, there is a high probability that you can only buy some unimportant chicken rib companies, after all, the capital forces in these regions are very vigilant about Homo sapiens.
Therefore, Li Qingye did not have the idea of competing with America, and Homo sapiens focused on technical employees.
America grabs industry, and Homo sapiens grabs talent.
As for bailing out?
Just kidding, why did Homo sapiens save them?
Homo sapiens wants those companies to explode in place, blowing up the market and labor, so that Homo sapiens can touch their corpses.
Just after Li Qingye and Wang Xinya finished talking about financial matters, another message popped up on his communicator.
