Chapter 396: Three Worlds (3)
North America.
America, Detroit.
The influx of European companies and the America's Industrial Revitalization Act have spurred a resurgence in automotive manufacturing and real estate.
Especially after the plastic crisis, a large number of new demands have made the automobile market hot.
Neither Ford nor General Motors has launched a trade-in service, nor does it provide a replacement service for old models of plastic parts, and even does not develop and produce replacement parts for old models.
Their goal is very simple: to force everyone to buy a new car.
If it is a simple quality problem, then General Motors and Ford will definitely not dare to play like this, the problem is that the car is now because of fungal corrosion, which is a "natural disaster" and is not covered by insurance and warranty.
Spurred by demand and funding, Detroit's auto industry is recovering rapidly.
At the same time, as the other three giants of the world's automobiles, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Audi also had to set up branches in North America.
The reason is that America has already placed an ultimatum and will either roll out of the North American market or relocate the production line.
The three auto giants, who did not have many choices, could only grit their teeth and come to North America to invest and set up factories.
At this time, Detroit has regained a trace of the style of the world's automobile city.
I just don't know if this is a resurrection or a return to the light.
At least the average North American who has been devastated by the economic crisis has also reduced their requirements for work treatment a lot.
And the Council of the City on the Hill knows that now they need these supplies to work hard, not give them high benefits.
Therefore, the Council of the City on the Hill took the lead and secretly organized a secret meeting with entrepreneurs.
Nothing is known about the secret conversation except for Homo sapiens.
And after the secret talks, a very peculiar phenomenon began to emerge in various parts of North America.
That is, all products and services except basic foods have begun to rise slowly.
For example, the price of building, renovating and buying a house is rising rapidly, and the average price has risen by 22.7% in six months.
The prices of education expenses, medical expenses, insurance costs, electricity costs, water costs, gas costs, communication fees, electronic and electrical products, and daily necessities have also increased by 30~60%.
As for why the price has risen.
The report of major companies is that the impact of the economic crisis and the plastic crisis, coupled with the sharp rise in the cost of raw materials, is a forced adjustment.
But at the same time, America also brought in a large number of Mexicans and Latinos to give these ultra-low hourly wages.
The Council of the City on the Peak, which learns from its own dogs, refers to these working immigrants as "trainees" and stipulates that they are paid a minimum of $2 an hour, and that they are not protected or insured.
With the help of these trainees, the Detroit plant was able to open.
As for those who don't work hard all day long, and still like the old beauty of blind comparison, the old men of the enterprise don't serve anymore, the hourly salary and benefits are like this, do it if you love to do it or not, you can do it yourself!
Lowering social welfare, raising the cost of living, bringing in Latin American labor, reducing wages by enterprises, and raising individual income tax substantially.
This set of combination punches down, the whole of North America was suffocated.
Don't accept it?
Then you just wait to go bankrupt and become a homeless man!
And all kinds of associations that dared to take the lead in doing things before, under the instructions of the bosses behind the scenes, all chose to remain silent.
A few people with iron heads have committed suicide by being shot in the back seven times.
In the face of the strong enemy of Homo sapiens, the Council of the City on the Top of the Mountain also put aside a large part of the internal differences and intrigues, and began to work together to adjust the state of North America.
After all, no matter how much the financial industry criticizes, it is empty after all.
Coupled with the fact that Homo sapiens does not admit the American knife at all, no matter how superb Wall Street's financial means are, they can't attack the financial system of Homo sapiens through a wall, right?
Allowing the Fed to sell off thousands of tonnes of gold in its stockpiles could cause the price of the gold dollar to plummet in a short period of time.
The problem is that now the gold won has become similar to the American knife.
Gold dollars are divided into employee gold dollars and trade gold dollars.
Among them, the employee gold dollar is basically a credit currency, after all, the vast majority of Homo sapiens employees will not exchange gold, but use it for internal consumption.
To a large extent, the trade gold dollar is a product of the Homo sapiens company, and gold is just the most intuitive collateral among them.
Therefore, the Fed's sell-off of gold can only affect the trade gold dollar, but not the internal of Homo sapiens.
To influence a highly self-sufficient internal circulation economy, the difficulty is comparable to directly starting a third war.
What's more, thousands of tons of gold Homo sapiens can still eat, and with the innovation of various technologies, the application scenarios of gold in the industrial field are also increasing.
For example, Homo sapiens' aerospace industry consumed 2.4 tons of gold and 4.6 tons of platinum group metals in the first half of this year alone.
In the future, with the crazy expansion of the aerospace industry, the industrial consumption of rare metals and precious metals will definitely increase.
If the Fed dares to sell gold, Homo sapiens will dare to follow.
Therefore, the trade gold dollar is also very strong.
Financial means are useless, military means cannot be defeated, information means are also pressed and beaten by Homo sapiens, and the Council of the City on the Hill has felt the threat of Homo sapiens.
Therefore, they do not dare to continue to play finance now, because they find that if they continue to play finance, they will only play themselves to death.
Returning to the real economy is the only way to combat Homo sapiens in North America.
Therefore, they came up with that set of combination punches, constantly breaking through the lower limit of the tolerance of ordinary people in North America, forcing these people to be on the verge of bankruptcy at all times, so as to lower benefits and wages.
Of course, in order to prevent public opinion of Homo sapiens from influencing ordinary people, the council has notified Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Must Die, and Amazon, and asked these Internet giants to build firewalls to block and filter out information about Homo sapiens.
At the same time, let these Internet giants find ways to tarnish the image of Homo sapiens and build it into an evil giant.
Recently, Hollywood has released more than a dozen movies and TV series in the genre of giant enterprises.
Including the remake of Resident Evil and the like, they all have the connotation of Homo sapiens.
Homo sapiens successfully replaced Lucia as the number one villain in Hollywood movies.
However, this method is limited to North America, and outside of North America, Homo sapiens has used satellite communications and submarine fiber optic cables to build its own Internet system.
When it comes to cognitive warfare, Homo sapiens is more comprehensive and more versatile than America.
After all, the gold dollar at this time is stronger than the constantly depreciating American knife, and the tens of billions of gold dollars invested by Homo sapiens in the field of culture and entertainment every year are not used to steal the box office and push small fresh meat.
America can build walls in North America, but it can't build walls all over the world.
In Latin America alone, there are many forces that do not accept America, so they will not cooperate with America.
With Homo sapiens, America will only be kind and pleasant when talking to them, instead of being domineering and bullying before.
Of course, the forces that build walls and retreat are not the only ones in America, but the intensity is different.
After all, it is difficult for some forces to be self-sufficient in their internal resources, and it is an inevitable choice for Homo sapiens to open up a part of the market.
For example, in Northeast Asia, even the automobile industry such as Toyota and Nissan have set up factories in North America, and the internal economy is in a serious vicious circle.
If it is not open to Homo sapiens and allows those ordinary people to immigrate to Homo sapiens, will it be possible to starve these people to death, or force them to do things?
