After solving Zhang Xiaowen's long-delayed case, everyone present felt a little relieved. To be honest, it was unexpected that Zhang Xiaowen could end up like this.
This is considered exile! After all, Zhang DaDa used to sit in a high-level office and command investment managers with more than 7 million silver quotas.
His fund is one of the best among the Chinese investment teams. The old manager and Hu Xueyan have given him very high authority. Once he encounters a good opportunity, he can even dismantle more than 10 million taels of silver.
This is already a top investor. In Xiao Letian's previous life, he would have been a figure living in the top floor office of the Lujiazui Financial Center in Pudong in the Magic City!
Such a master was relegated to the lowest level by Xiao Letian and became an ordinary employee filling out forms and completing procedures for investors. He probably also had to do the job of handing out flyers on the streets.
This is the same difference between heaven and hell. Such a gap is worse than killing him!
But after hearing Xiao Letian's detailed analysis just now, no one present sympathized with him, and no one considered the problem from the level of the head of state.
Once you stand on it, you will realize how much evil this guy has done!
Seeing the soldiers taking Zhang DaDa away, Hu Xueyan sighed, "I will let him go back with the merchant ship tomorrow. I really regret raising such a wolf cub!"
The old shopkeeper shook his head, "Don't say that. If he wasn't so bold, where could he go to complain to the head of state and pull Lin Yuanmiao down from his high position alive?"
"He is a born adventurer and a gambler! There are not many such people now, and there will definitely be many in the future... My uncle is right, human nature is selfish, and greed is our nature!"
Liu Henzhen hesitated on the side, with an expression on his face as if he was constipated. Finally, he couldn't help but asked, "The head of state! I have a concern, which is also extended from the truth of the head of state just now!"
"Ask! I will give you time today, and you must ask until you are no longer confused!" Xiao Letian said.
"Yes! The head of state just said that the earliest mercantilism turned into capitalism, there is actually an important node, that is, there is too much money in society without physical investment!"
"Can I understand it this way... Of course, I also gained some understanding from studying the Journey to the West and European history!"
"Europe was actually very poor in the Middle Ages. There were many countries in that place and religious repression was very strong. They were not as rich as China!"
"However, it is precisely because poverty leads to change that we embark on an adventurous voyage to find the golden mountains overseas!"
"Mountains of gold and silver were finally found. The New World and Africa are rich in gold and silver, and there are other resources that can be exchanged for gold and silver!"
"Whether it's food, minerals, spices, rubber, jewelry... or even black slaves!"
"These eventually turned into money flowing to Europe, that is to say, North and South America and Africa. The wealth accumulated by the indigenous people for thousands of years was looted by the Europeans!"
"At the beginning, Europeans who had been poor for a long time began to expand production with their sudden wealth! Textile factories, railways, steam engines, munitions... all kinds of industries prospered, and these industries even created A steady stream of profits!”
"Then I have some questions, why can't this model continue? Why can't it continue forever? Why is there so much money that cannot be invested, wandering in the market and eventually turned into capital? Instead of factories?"
Liu Yuzhen frowned, "After so many years of war in Europe, those smart people should know how Britain won! Why did Spain and France finally lose in front of Britain?"
"It's not because the British cleverly turned the plundered gold and silver into factories, railways, mines... and finally formed huge productivity, that their products became competitive!"
"And all the money stolen from Spain was used for the enjoyment of nobles and the construction of churches! France is even more of a usury country, and everyone in the country is lending money to earn interest!"
"It is precisely because of this gap that the rise of the United Kingdom has occurred... Those smart British people clearly know that engaging in industry to increase productivity is the right way to make the country rich and powerful... We have learned from the past, so why do we still engage in capitalism?"
"Can't all countries follow the example of Britain and continue investing in factories when they have money?"
Liu Henzhen's question made people's eyes brighten. Xiao Letian nodded, "Wonderful! I didn't expect that you have made such progress in your study and study in the past few years. If I had known, I would have taken you to Europa!"
"Your question is very interesting... but it's a bit taken for granted!"
"Actually, if you want to find the answer to this question, you have to look at it from different aspects! First, you have to study human nature. What else is there besides greed? Of course there is also laziness!"
“It is human nature to get something without working, or to work less and gain more!”
"The same goes for doing business. The pursuit of high profits is of course the main purpose, and another requirement is to earn high profits easily, which is also very important!"
“It’s not that you can’t make money by investing in factories, mines, and shipping merchant ships, but it’s that you can’t make quick money, and it involves too much energy!”
"Not everyone can become a qualified factory owner! But most people know that loan sharking can make money!"
"With the same profit margin, humans will naturally choose the one with the least strength!"
"This is one reason, and on the other hand, we need to study the market! You must know that the improvement of productivity not only improves national strength, but also has a side effect!"
"That's market saturation! This is a big trend, such as the textile industry... There are no technical barriers to this industry now. Any country in the world can build it as long as it has investment!"
"As a result, there are more and more factories, but the global population has not exploded, which will cause market saturation!"
"What should I do if it becomes saturated? Isn't it just declining profits and vicious competition?"
"Businessmen are very smart. They have already noticed the changes in the market. For the same one hundred thousand pounds, they will calculate the risk and return of every investment!"
"Traditional industries have gone through the period of huge profits, and these businessmen are no longer willing to invest anymore!"
"The third reason, which is also very important, is that the colonialism that the Europeans believe in is completely predatory colonialism. They are unwilling to help the colonies industrialize, but only use the colonies as a base for raw materials and a market for selling goods! "
"This is very troublesome! There is always an upper limit to this business model of trafficking goods from Europe! If you really want to break through this upper limit and break this lid, you have to actively invest capital to build factories in market destinations!"
"But the Europeans are too arrogant. They don't want the colonies to become stronger. They are unwilling to engage in education and have no investment in infrastructure. How can we invest in such a colony?"
Xiao Letian sighed, "For many reasons, European capital has been held back in the country and cannot be released. The only result is that the capital will play with itself!"
"Get rid of the entity and turn capital into a game that can expand and increase its value. Of course, it is still attached to the real economy on the surface, but it has been completely separated from it in operation!"
"Haha... I'm a little unfounded now. The crisis is just a sign. I analyze that humans will have to wait another seventy, eighty or even a hundred years before they really taste the bitter consequences!"
"I'm afraid not many people in Europe will accept what I say now!"
After listening to the words, Zhang Xiaowen raised his hands and bowed deeply, "Thank you, the head of state, for breaking the confusion and enlightening me! I understand..."
