Chapter 497: Hanjing Olympics

PS: I had a cold, I took medicine and slept before I got up......

............................................................

The current economic crisis caused the major powers to abandon the gold standard and fixed exchange rates, and introduced credit currencies and floating exchange rates, and greatly depreciated their currencies. By the beginning of this year, the United States could no longer bear it, and depreciated the dollar by more than 40 percent! From one ounce of gold = 20. $67, depreciated to $35 per ounce of gold. i.e. one dollar from the exchange for 1. 50,463 grams of gold, depreciated to 0 per dollar. 88,859 grams of gold.

In this context, China is no exception, also following the trend of abolishing the gold standard and fixed exchange rate, and also depreciating the Chinese dollar by one-third, and the original renminbi (Chinese yuan) is exchanged for 0. 75,232 grams of gold, directly reduced to 0 per RMB (Chinese Yuan). 5 grams of gold. Of course, this amount of gold is only a reference standard, and it cannot be directly exchanged, and since the collapse of the gold standard, the world has banned the direct exchange of currencies for gold.

There is no way for China to devalue its currency, all the major trading partners have depreciated their own currencies, and if you don't depreciate, you will lose a lot of money. Of course, China's Chinese dollar has depreciated, and the other countries in the SCO economic circle have also depreciated, and their currencies are directly linked to the Chinese yuan.

However, because China's currency depreciation is only aimed at imports and exports, and at the same time as the currency depreciation, it also increases wages and the selling prices of industrial and agricultural commodities in proportion, so the people's lives have not been affected much, but because of the downturn in the international market, the general price of basic daily necessities such as grain and textiles has decreased, and the purchasing power has increased on the contrary. To put it simply, life is better.

China's current average income data has increased by half, an average worker's monthly income has increased to about 80 yuan, 100 kilograms of standard rice is only 6-7 yuan (the price of old grain and other defective grains is lower, but now there are not many people in China to eat), 10 kilograms of pork about 5 yuan, this income level is enough to feed the whole family, if the family has two people working, this life can be better. As for an intermediate skilled worker, the monthly income has increased to about 200 yuan, which is enough to live a more comfortable life. And this is only personal income, not counting all kinds of social benefits that have not been distributed to individuals.

..............................................................................

Friday, July 15, 2773 (1932), Suide County No. 2 Middle School, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.

"Jingle bell ......" The campus of Suide No. 2 Middle School reverberated with a crisp school bell. At this time, it was already summer vacation, but after high school, the study task was heavy, and vacation make-up classes became the choice of many schools and parents.

"It's time for school...... a group of students rushed out of the classroom and ran towards the carport. In a short time, a large number of bicycles and e-bikes drove out of the school gates. Bicycles and e-bikes have been popular in China for many years, and these two types of vehicles with low prices and low costs have become the most popular means of transportation, even for middle school students.

The retail price of an ordinary bicycle is now 20-25 yuan, which is almost unchanged from 20 years ago, and with the increase in income and currency depreciation, this price has been reduced. The electric bicycle is a new product that has only been around for five or six years, and it is naturally more expensive, but the unit price of the popular version is only 40-50 yuan, and it can be paid in installments.

When the students were almost gone, the teachers followed suit. Their vehicles are mainly electric bicycles and motorcycles, and there are many LNG vehicles and electric vehicles. Now China is vigorously promoting electric vehicles, a single-box two-seater car only costs 200 yuan, a two-box five-seater electric car is only about 350 yuan, and the monthly salary of an ordinary teacher is about 180 yuan, which can be bought in a few months, of course, it is another matter to be reluctant to buy.

In the "Fifth Five-Year Plan" in 1930, Mr. Wen put forward a goal of "striving to have a motor vehicle in every household by the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan", which ended in 1934. But now it looks like this goal can be achieved ahead of schedule.

"Today's children are so happy, in the past, this bicycle was a diorama, but now even dolls are used......" said an old teacher riding an electric bicycle with a smile.

A middle-aged teacher next to him also said with emotion: "No, these babies were born after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they grew up in a honey pot." They don't say they haven't been hungry, they have been raised with milk and meat since they were children, and they all look tall and big, and the doll in the first year of high school has grown taller than me. ”

"This is all a nutritious meal plan engaged in by Mr. Wen, from birth to graduation from college, every day is thunderous milk and eggs, chickens, ducks and fish meat change tricks, except for school holidays, there has never been meat, if it doesn't grow tall, it's a strange thing!"

"Even if the school is on vacation, it won't stop the meat. Now who can't afford to eat meat, and the children rarely go home once, that doesn't point to the good. Like that kid in my family, when he came back from college vacation, he actually ate kimchi for a week, saying what he experienced in a life of hunger and cold. ”

"No, everyone's life is better now. It's even more dreamy when I think about it now......"

Several middle-aged and elderly teachers were chatting on their bikes, and a series of cars soon overtook them. In addition to the school leaders who play with cars, most of them are young teachers, and those who ride bicycles are not unaffordable, and some of them just have different consumption habits. Or the home is close and there is no need to buy a car. Others also have cars at home, but they don't use it.

A few high school students were riding their bikes and chatting.

"Hey, I said, it's Friday today, what's going on tomorrow?" said Student A.

Student B: "What else can I do, watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?" I also want to write about my impressions......"

Student C: "Tomorrow the Olympics will start, I want to watch the sports meeting at home, so I won't come out......"

Student Ding: "Yes, I want to watch the sports meeting ...... too"

"Cut, isn't the opening ceremony at night? It's only now that the Olympics are open, there must be fewer people in the aviation club during this time, everyone has watched the Olympics, aren't those planes ours?" said a tall boy very wittily.

"yes, anyway, there are replays of the Olympics, or ask your family to help record them, and just go back and watch them. We still took the opportunity to occupy the plane, but there were usually too many people, and it was not our turn at all. A square-faced boy expressed his support.

"It's really, the county's aero club is too small and there are too few planes. There are only six planes in total, and there are hundreds of members, and it takes a long time to queue up every time you get on the plane, so it would be nice if there were more planes. Student A couldn't help but complain.

Student B said with a wistful face: "Hey, I will definitely buy a plane to play by myself in the future, and I don't have to go to the club anymore to queue up, I can play if I want to......"

"However, it's not enough to have an airplane, you still have to have a hangar, an airport, maintenance equipment, etc., which is a lot of money......

"Cut, you're so stupid, the aviation club has a storage and hosting business, your plane can be docked at the aviation club, use the club's airport, and let the club help with maintenance and overhaul, just pay some money every month." It's a lot easier than if you were to do it yourself. ”

The students are all members of the local aviation club. According to the relevant regulations of the aviation club, it is very simple to join, as long as you are a Chinese citizen who is at least 16 years old, has no criminal record, and has obtained the consent of your guardian and your employer, you can apply to join the club. After submitting the application, the club will organize a physical examination, and those who pass the medical examination can become probationary members.

However, as we all know, pilots have extremely high requirements for physical fitness, and this physical examination will brush down many people. Although this is only a folk club, and the requirements are much more relaxed than those of military pilots, not everyone can pass the test. Those who have fear of heights can't ask for it, those who are nearsighted, those who are weak can't ask for it, and those who have slow reactions can't ask for it...... There is a long list of requirements, and it is thankful that a third of them can pass the test.

Moreover, these people who become probationary members are not able to get on the plane right away, but also have to learn 50 hours of flight theory classes in the club, and then conduct various simulation training, and then train in gliders and paramotors to find out what it feels like to fly. After passing the re-assessment, you can become a junior member and start learning on the computer. At first, I drove the simulator on the ground, and then got on the plane when I was almost done, and was taken by the instructor to fly, and after passing the assessment, I was eligible to fly solo, get a flight license, and become an intermediate member.

Initially, there were only a dozen aero clubs in China, with only one in the capital and some key cities. Later, with the increase in aircraft production and the improvement of people's living standards, there were more and more aviation clubs. Up to now, there are more than 3,600 aviation clubs, not only at the municipal level, but also at the county level, and even more than one in some big cities.

The vast majority of the planes in these clubs are the classic Coach-1 "Sparrow" trainer, which is the Magic Wave 2. This thing is too cheap, according to the current domestic price is only 500 to 700 yuan (different configurations, the price is different), cheaper than a car. Pipes, plywood, and canvas are just that cheap.

The Sparrow is now the world's largest aircraft, with 280,000 Sparrow trainers produced in China and other countries that have purchased production licenses by the end of last year, including prototypes and various magic modifications.

"Actually, my family also bought a plane, you can come to my house tomorrow after watching the opening ceremony......" chatting and chatting, a student who had not spoken suddenly dropped a big bomb.

", Le Yizhong, did you buy a?" Several other classmates slipped their hands when they heard this, and they almost hit the street on the spot.

"Le Yizhong, what kind of plane did you buy?" a round-faced student couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a good plane, it's the most ordinary socialist pesticide plane, the agricultural version of the sparrow......" Le Yizhong pretended to be light-hearted, but the smugness on his face couldn't be concealed. "The forests contracted by our family have to be sprinkled with pesticides and fertilizers, which is very troublesome to use manually. So my dad bought a plane to spread pesticides and fertilizers......"

"This plane doesn't usually work, so I can play with it myself......"

"it, local tyrant, let's be friends......" The classmates expressed envy, jealousy and hatred.

And when they had spoken, they came to the junction, and each of them went home to scatter his birds and beasts.

"Come to my house tomorrow to watch the opening ceremony......" Le Yizhong couldn't help but remind his classmates that he would come to see the tomorrow, and this forced installation is good.

In fact, at the price of sparrows, many families in China can afford it, but it is not enough to just buy a plane, and a series of supporting facilities in the airport hangar are not affordable for ordinary people. And now although the Chinese government allows private people to buy airplanes, for safety reasons, there are restrictions on private use of airplanes, not that you can buy them if you have money, and you can fly if you buy them. Of course, if you just collect it and put it at home as an ornament, then you don't need to be subject to these restrictions, but if it is used to fly, you have to obtain the route qualification. This level is very strict, and many people can't apply.

Le Yizhong's family also obtained the approval in the proper name of agricultural use.

..................................................................

The next day (July 16), 8 p.m., Hanjing, National Stadium.

At this time, the opening ceremony of the 10th Olympic Games is being held in the National Stadium, which was completed three years ago.

The Olympics on this plane are also full of disasters and difficulties, and they are even more unlucky than the original time and space.

The sixth edition of the Berlin Olympics in 1916 was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. By the seventh session in 1920, although the First World War had ended, all the participating countries had been exhausted from the five-year war, and the hooligans were busy licking their wounds and rebuilding after the war. For example, the respected Mr. Wen publicly stated that he would never let his own people take the risk of participating in the competition. As a result, the Olympic Games, which were originally scheduled to be held in Antwerp, were also cancelled. The big hooligans didn't come, and they still had a yarn.

As a result, the Olympic Games on this plane were suspended twice, and it was not resumed until the eighth edition in 1924, which was held in Paris as scheduled. It was also the case that France showed the world the fruits of its post-war reconstruction, and after four years of reconstruction, Paris had regained its pre-war prosperity. And because there were so many places destroyed in the war, the reconstruction work was simply torn down, and it can be said that the whole of Paris was rebuilt. The world is presented with a new Paris.

At the same time, for the first time, a live television broadcast was also carried out, and with the joint efforts of technical personnel from many countries led by China, the television signal network from France to various major countries was set up and adjusted before the opening of the Olympic Games. So that far away China and the United States on the other side of the ocean can also watch the grand occasion of the Olympic Games at the same time. Of course, this live broadcast can only be regarded as an attempt, but it only covers the entire Europe, North America and East Asia and other regions where the great powers are located, but not the South Asian subcontinent, Africa, Oceania and South America, and people in these places can only watch the broadcast.

It was at this time that China began its bid to host the Olympic Games. Unlike the original time and space of the Great Picture Dynasty, Wen Desi has not paid much attention to the Olympic bid, in his opinion, this kind of thing is not worth too much effort, if it can be done, it will be done, and if it is not successful, forget it. He completely cannot understand the idea of "winning the Olympic bid at all costs." Holding such large-scale international events can indeed show the country's image, but this is not the only means, the country's image still depends on hard power after all, if the purpose of holding any international activities affects the normal life of one's own country, it is pure putting the cart before the horse.

Now China is already very strong, and it doesn't need these tricks to prove itself, and if it can be successful, it will be the icing on the cake, and if it doesn't happen, it will have no impact. Therefore, China's attitude towards bidding for the Olympic Games is lukewarm, that is, it has been said in several news that there is no such national mobilization at all.

However, how else to say that people are cheap. China's indifferent attitude has only aroused the interest of the Olympic Committee. At that time, Coubertin personally went to China for a field trip, and after he took a group of Olympic Committee officials to see around China, he went back and made a decision, and the 10th Olympic Games were held in China.

I have to say that the promotional film called "Awakening China" played a great role. This fifteen-minute promotional film adopts a large number of shooting and production techniques of later generations, fully embodying the image of an ancient country in the East for thousands of years, the glory of ancient times and the revival of modern times. At that time, before the vote, as soon as the promotional film was released, the general trend was set. Rival Los Angeles slammed into the streets.

Afterwards, the economic crisis that broke out in 1929 also made the Olympic Committee very happy, and if it was really in Los Angeles, I don't know what it would have been.

But now that the application has come down, then we have to do it well, and Mr. Wen immediately sent people all over the world to solicit sponsorship and advertising, pre-sell TV broadcast rights, and carry out various business plans. According to the experience of later generations, the Olympics is very profitable as long as it is not brain-dead.

Therefore, the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is exactly the same as the previous ones, and the opening ceremonies of the previous editions are very simple, that is: the head of state of the host country announces the opening, the athletes enter, the Olympic flag is raised, the Olympic hymn is sung, the Olympic flame is lit, the dove of peace is released, the salute is fired, and the athletes take the oath.

At the opening ceremony of this year, Wen Desi directly copied the Olympic model of later generations, adding welcome ceremonies, fireworks and large-scale cultural performances later. In these things, naturally, they are stuffed with private goods. It's all about promoting Chinese culture and showing the country's strength.

The first to appear was a powerful air formation, with 468 planes whizzing through the sky with colorful lights. In the air, the words "1932" and the Olympic rings logo were formed. Before the audience could recover from the shock, the lively fireworks show began. Subsequently, there were all kinds of large-scale theatrical performances full of private goods.

After the theatrical performance, it was the athletes' entrance ceremony, and a total of 57 countries and regions participated in the Olympic Games, with a total of 1,876 participants. If it weren't for this economic crisis, the number of participants would have only increased. As is customary, the Greek delegation from the birthplace of the Olympic Movement entered the venue first, followed by delegations from other countries and regions in the order of simplified Chinese character strokes, with the host country China being the last to appear.

After IOC President Latour's thank-you speech, President Wen Desi of the People's Republic of China announced in a loud voice: "The 10th Olympiad in Hanjing is open!"

Suddenly, the bright fireworks bloomed in the night sky, the passionate melody resounded throughout the audience, the colorful flags waved, and the cheers lasted for a long time. The filming and production techniques of later generations fully reflect the image of an oriental thousand-year-old country, the glory of ancient times and the revival of modern times. At that time, before the vote, as soon as the promotional film was released, the general trend was set. Rival Los Angeles slammed into the streets.

Afterwards, the economic crisis that broke out in 1929 also made the Olympic Committee very happy, and if it was really in Los Angeles, I don't know what it would have been.
