News of the Wall Street crash quickly spread throughout the world, the clouds of crisis began to spread, and the world was in panic.
In this panic, only China became an isolated island.
The China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, which had long anticipated the outcome of the crash, took action together and released financial instruments that had been held back for several months in one day, abruptly stabilizing the first wave of financial shocks.
Of course, this is far from the end.
The storm in the financial market has not yet had time to spread to the sea of the real economy, and the waves have not yet surged.
——
Once strong winds arise, huge waves will flood the entire world.
Chang'an, NPU.
Chen Guo sat on the sofa, sipping tea while listening to the discussion between Chen Nian and Chen Feiyun.
".So this impact should be much stronger than we previously expected."
"The first thing to be affected should be the real estate market, and then, under the transmission of the market economy, the entire U.S. economic environment will turn."
"This is not a good sign. Since 2000, their economy has been booming for five years, and this time they are facing a major 180-degree U-turn."
"They're very difficult to deal with - it's almost impossible to deal with them."
"The economic track will be broken, and imported inflation is inevitable."
"Commodity prices should soon turn from rising to falling, with oil bearing the brunt."
"Secondly, steel, coal, and grain will also fall, and the operating pressure of many domestic companies will increase exponentially."
"The same goes for the transportation industry. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. This is a systemic problem. If we really talk about it, it would take days and nights to finish it."
Hearing Chen Feiyun's words, Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then asked:
"How is the situation in the United States? Is the society still stable?"
When he asked this question, Chen Nian actually had some bad thoughts in his heart.
After all, in his previous life, he had seen large-scale zero-dollar shopping and the grand celebration of the occupation of the White House, so he always thought about bringing these joyful and joyful things to the forefront.
The more chaotic a society is, the faster it will collapse.
Therefore, he has been reading various news these days, hoping to see what he wants to see.
But unfortunately, he really didn't see it at all.
The media seemed deaf and blind. They would rather report on a man in Florida shaving his cat's head than focus on Wall Street, where the streets are stained red with blood.
Chen Feiyun on the side shook his head and replied:
"According to the information coming back from our own news channels, at least Wall Street is in chaos."
"It's not just ordinary people, ordinary investors, it's also starting to be affected at the top of Wall Street."
"Just yesterday, a legendary fund manager from their side resigned. He was only 59 years old."
"After him, several other well-known investors had accidents - either committed suicide or disappeared."
"If this trend continues, although it cannot be said that the entire Wall Street is ruined, they will definitely be hit hard."
“How many people have died in total and what is the death toll?”
Chen Nian originally wanted to say how many people had reopened in total, but when he thought about it, most of the people who were on the road to despair were ordinary people, and there was no need to be so mean to them, so he changed his words empathetically.
"We have counted more than 50 people - the specific number must be more."
"We estimate that in the entire United States, there must be a thousand people."
Chen Nian took a breath. You must know that under normal circumstances, the number of suicides in the United States per year is between 40,000 and 50,000. But now, in less than a week, simply because of the impact of the financial market, Thousands of people died.
If this continues, will it be okay when the wave of real economic collapse rolls over?
Hmm. Maybe the United States will have a chance to steal the island country's title of "XX Great Power" this time.
However, this number did make him wary.
The situation was exactly as he expected. With the development speed much higher than that in the previous life, the United States fell harder from the sky.
I just don’t know if there is a chance to add fuel to their fire and make them completely unable to recover.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to ask:
"Tell us about other fields, what about other fields besides Wall Street?"
"There are no latest reports in other fields yet. After all, market transmission takes time."
"However, according to our estimates, this storm may bring tens of millions of unemployed people to the United States and cause economic losses ranging from 5 to 10 trillion."
"Their market economies will be hit hard. The most intuitive manifestation is that commodity prices may experience a short-term decline and then a sharp rise."
"If the problem is serious, we may even see large-scale famine in them."
"Of course, this does not mean that they will really starve to death. After all, although their social welfare and relief systems are weak, civil society organizations are very active, and their basic lives are still guaranteed."
"However, there is a group of people who are doomed to struggle for food and clothing for a long time."
"Understood."
Chen Nian pondered for a moment and then continued to ask:
"What about industry, technology, and the military?"
"Not optimistic about it. In a word, if there is no money, it will not be able to develop."
"Needless to say, industry, under the premise of the collapse of the real economy, many large industries will inevitably collapse, and the hollowing out of industries will become more serious - although they fell because of finance, they cannot stand up by relying on the real economy."
"Gamblers are like this. Next, they will inevitably further develop finance and the virtual economy to try for a chance to turn over."
"Militarily, the Middle East is definitely going to be in trouble."
"The security war in Iraq is not over yet, but I personally estimate that they will soon attack Iran again."
"After all, unless something happens to Iran, oil prices will not rise."
"It doesn't matter if you don't talk about the technology field. Anyway, they can't beat you alone."
Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Professor Chen, please stop treating me like this."
"Americans may be stupid, but they are not stupid."
"The more crisis comes, the more time they hold back their ultimate strategy. To be honest, even if they announce tomorrow that they will start to engage in nuclear fusion and produce results within 10 years, I will not be surprised. .”
Chen Feiyun chuckled and replied:
"I was just joking. Your worries are justified, but it doesn't matter. According to what I know about you, you will definitely be faster than them, whatever they have."
".Okay. Now that we've talked about them, what about us?"
Upon hearing this, not only Chen Feiyun, but also Chen Guo, who was sitting next to him, became interested instantly.
He sat up straight with a start. If his ears could move, they would be two meters high by now.
"Needless to say, we will definitely make a lot of money."
A smile instantly appeared on Chen Nian's face. He moved a little closer to Chen Feiyun and asked:
"Tell me more specifically?"
Chen Feiyun coughed and pretended to be reserved:
"Actually, I don't make much money. In terms of the financial market, it's less than 100 billion."
"We mobilized a large amount of resources in the early stage and participated in the investment plan of the big short seller in the U.S. financial market through various white gloves. The total investment amount exceeded 20 billion US dollars."
"Currently, the overall income has exceeded 300%."
"After that, we will exit one after another. After removing various costs, the return this time should be around 500%."
"It solves an urgent need. To be honest, I really have to thank them for giving me the opportunity."
"Otherwise, I really don't know how to make up for the foreign exchange losses caused by the Great Recession and the contraction of our exports."
"It's good now. Once the money arrives, all walks of life will be better off."
"Including us at Spark - we have already reported to our superiors that one-third of this money will be allocated directly to the Spark team as a fiscal budget, and converted into RMB, it will reach more than 200 billion."
"Rich, rich!"
Chen Nian couldn't help laughing.
How much does a Liaoning ship cost in total?
From purchase to launch, the maximum amount is about 60 billion yuan.
And now, easily, the cost of three Liaoning ships has come out!
Sure enough, the most profitable thing is finance, which is faster than stealing money.
However, Chen Feiyun has not finished speaking yet.
"Actually, the money we directly earn is not a large amount. Based on the various financial institutions active in the domestic market, our short-selling profits this time - just talking about book profits, should be between 180 and 200 billion US dollars."
"This money will later flow into our own market, and economic vitality will be significantly improved."
Hearing this, Chen Nian had only one thought in his mind:
Make a lot of money.
But such thoughts only lasted less than a minute, and his excitement quickly cooled down.
Because he thought that in his previous life, the American short sellers would have made more than 200 billion from us 20 years later.
Even the most conservative estimate is that within three years, this number will reach more than 6,000.
After all, their short-selling book profits once set a historical record of over 300 billion in one month.
damn it!
Chen Nian couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
Such a thing will never be allowed to happen again in this life.
After calming down for a moment, Chen Nian continued to ask:
"What about the rest? Is there nothing else besides the gains from the financial market?"
Chen Feiyun nodded and replied:
"There definitely is, but it's not easy to count yet - there are no figures."
"The crisis in the other country's real economy will inevitably free up a lot of market space. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of."
"In addition, as I mentioned just now, commodities, especially the oil sector, will expose many weaknesses. We can take advantage of them and gain a lot of long-term benefits."
"Of course, I don't understand this aspect of military affairs, so I won't talk about it for now. But at least, the strategy of the THAAD system we developed before should be able to be executed perfectly."
Hearing this, Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.
According to this statement, this financial war and economic war can be said to be in full swing.
Not only did it completely solve the problem of Spark's budget shortage, it also opened up a vast space for the entire domestic economy.
Obviously, the strategy of the Mountain Moving Project is right.
It just filled the country's most important shortcomings after the outbreak of the financial crisis, and cut off the other party's hope of dragging itself into the quagmire.
With the help of the results of this project, as long as China desperately builds infrastructure and advances in technology, it will be able to limit the impact of the financial crisis to a very small range.
An epic opportunity is coming.
Chen Nian couldn't help but start thinking about strategies for the next few years.
The Middle East is where our influence must reach.
In the Asia-Pacific, the iron plate originally united by the United States will inevitably fall apart.
In Europe, the decline of manufacturing will create optimal conditions for domestic companies to go overseas.
America America may still be a tough nut to crack.
But it doesn’t matter, we don’t need to do too much, we just need to seize this opportunity and destroy one or two of their industries.
For example, food.
We had established our own outpost during previous small-scale food conflicts.
Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe it’s time for us to let go and do something big
Thinking of this, he asked:
"What about our follow-up plans? Have we entered the discussion stage?"
Chen Feiyun shook his head and replied:
"It cannot be said that it has entered the discussion stage. It should be said that it has entered the practice adjustment stage."
"We have withstood the first wave of impact."
"But soon, the second wave of impact on the real economic market will come, which will also be a big test for us."
"At present, the main directions are still two points."
"The first one is to produce results of the mountain-moving project as soon as possible and carry out infrastructure construction."
"Second, encourage private technology research and development and technological innovation to revitalize the economy."
"Grab these two points and basically the problem will be solved."
Hearing this, Chen Nian asked with some confusion:
"What about stimulating domestic demand? Are you not stimulating domestic demand?"
"ah?"
Chen Feiyun looked at Chen Nian in surprise and asked:
"Does this need to be mentioned specifically?"
"It's about boosting domestic demand. In fact, there are only two influencing factors that are more important."
"Money and security."
"Once infrastructure and civil technology take off, all walks of life will have something to offer. Everyone will make money, and naturally there will be more money in their hands."
"Then, market expectations were good, military strength increased, and a sense of security also increased."
"Once these two factors are resolved, the money that should be spent will naturally be spent."
"Our structure still needs to be big. Why are we always looking at the two dollars in the hands of ordinary people? If we want to eat, eat from the big ones. Let's start from the United States and eat all of Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East!"
Chen Nian nodded solemnly.
In the previous life, China actually did not have such courage.
However, in good conscience, that is not enough.
In this life, after the strength broke through a certain threshold, the strategic layout of the superior decision-makers also moved to a higher level.
There is no bailout plan, no four trillion.
Because, in the final analysis, it is printing money.
And what we have to do now is grab money!
The engine was started and the wheels were running.
While Chen Nian was chatting with Chen Guo and Chen Feiyun about the next plan, in an office at the Poly Technology headquarters, General Manager Wang Ming was receiving a special guest.
——
In other words, this is a familiar friend.
Khatim from Saudi Arabia.
He was holding a cup of black tea in his hand. After taking a sip, he said slightly teasingly:
"Wang, it seems that you really made a lot of money from us."
"Although I don't understand tea, I can drink it. This cup of tea is much fresher than the one I drank the last time I came here."
"Has your logistics service finally been upgraded?"
Hearing his words, Wang Ming couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Hatim, you really don't understand tea."
"This is an ordinary Longjing tea picked this year. The market price is only four to five hundred and one kilograms. It is not considered a precious tea at all."
"As for the last time, what I gave you was fermented oolong tea, which is good tea. You are really a fool."
"Then why didn't you give me the tea from last time?"
Hatim asked curiously.
"Because it's specially prepared for customers who can't handle it - you don't want to be the guest who can't handle it, right?"
Hatim waved his hands quickly, laughed and said:
"I don't want to, I don't want to."
"We are already friends, we can't embarrass each other."
"That's good, it seems we have reached a consensus."
Wang Ming also smiled back, and then he took out the documents that he had prepared long ago from the drawer and handed them to Hatim's hand.
Hatim rubbed his hands excitedly. After taking the document, he flipped through it and asked:
"So this time the financial crisis in the United States is really your plan? I didn't expect you to be so powerful as to be able to leverage a country's economy."
Wang Ming shook his head gently and replied:
"How is that possible! These are all rumors."
"What we did was, at best, we saw the opportunity in advance and made a lot of money from them."
"I'm so envious of making a huge fortune. King, promise me, if there is another opportunity like this in the future, please bring us with you, okay?"
"We are willing to be your closest partner - as close as you want! We can even be closer than your Bati!"
"Then it depends on your sincerity."
Wang Ming gave Hatim a meaningful look, and the latter blinked understandingly. Then he began to calm down and carefully read the documents in his hand.
It took half an hour for Hatim to finally read the last page of the document.
Then, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a sigh:
"Incredible!"
"If I weren't sitting in front of you, I wouldn't even believe that such a thing could actually exist."
“In my impression, drones are still small, slow and useless products that can only take pictures.”
"And your drones have infrared scanning, terrain modeling, active phased array radar, optional electronic warfare pods, and can even mount weapons. Yes, even the weapon system is the most advanced in the world. s level."
"Are you sure you want to sell this kind of thing to us?"
"I mean, this should also represent your most advanced technology in the field of drones, right? Aren't you worried about technology leaks?"
Wang Ming shook his head and answered frankly:
"This is a secondary technology, just an export version."
Hatim was shocked when he heard this.
"Is this still an export version? So what are its limits?"
"Sorry Hatim, you know, I can't answer your question."
"understand."
Hatim instantly realized his gaffe, and then he paused for a moment and changed the topic gently and deftly.
"It's indeed a good thing. However, if you just give us this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the conditions you want, right?"
"You know, priority is something that all countries are fighting for, and the EU has a high bid and the United States is constantly putting pressure on us."
"If we really give priority to supply to you, you know what consequences we will face."
Wang Ming nodded and said nothing.
In fact, Hatim did not lie on this point.
Saudi Arabia's oil exports are huge and have a great influence on the entire international market. Which country it gives oil to first can affect that country's energy status to a certain extent.
Previously, Saudi Arabia's oil had always been supplied to Europe and the Americas first.
Now, if China demands changes to this, it will inevitably lead to a major reaction from the United States.
Because the change in oil supply priorities is, in essence, a major challenge to U.S. energy hegemony.
It is true that China does not need to worry too much.
Because this "reaction" may not hit China's head.
But it will definitely hit Saudi Arabia on the head.
Therefore, Hatim's request at this time is actually not excessive.
So, after Wang Ming thought for a moment, he said:
"Plus a batch of the latest air-to-air missiles that are enough for you to use."
"PL-15, how's it going?"
".Your latest air-to-air missile is obviously the PL-17. You have reported it in your own news. Have you forgotten?"
"There is no foreign trade version of the PL-17 - not yet."
Wang Ming replied decisively.
".That's not enough."
Hatim sighed and did not continue to bargain with Wang Ming, but said bluntly:
"Ming, you know what we want."
“You can provide that to island countries, why can’t you provide it to us?”
"As long as you agree to export, even if it's just one set, we will spare no effort to ensure your priority in supply. Isn't this a simple deal?"
Wang Ming's eyes sharpened and he replied:
"No, Hatim, this is not a simple transaction."
"You only see the transaction itself, but you don't see the problems behind the transaction."
"If you really have the THAAD system, the situation in the entire Middle East will completely boil over. This is not the result you and I want to see."
"Is it really that serious?"
Hatim asked suspiciously.
"really have."
".Okay then. Let's get back to the original discussion."
"Caihong-8 drones, PL-15 air-to-air missiles, and three more DF-21s, just conventional warheads."
"In exchange, we paid a price equivalent to US$60 billion in oil and guaranteed priority supply rights."
"We will give you 40 years." Wang Ming shook his head and refused, then said: 2 "Rainbow-8 and PL-15 are fine, but DF-21 is not given."
"You're kidding me. Just DF-21 can buy back all your stuff."
"Plus, we don't need that long."
"Give us 30 billion, plus 15 years of priority supply rights, and the drones and missiles will be yours."
Hatim looked directly into Wang Ming's eyes, trying to find a trace of concession there.
But it was obvious that the other party was as determined as he thought.
Even so, he still wanted to try again.
"We really need DF-21. The Middle East is about to be in chaos. If you don't give THAAD, why don't you at least give us missiles?"
"If we don't even have missiles, as your closest friends, how can we protect the oil fields?"
"This matter is non-negotiable."
Wang Ming said solemnly.
"We have already assessed that the Rainbow-8, plus the fighter jets and ballistic missiles we gave you before, are enough for you to protect yourself."
"We can no longer provoke the balance of power in the Middle East, as that will make the situation even worse."
"You only have two choices."
"Yes, or no."
"If you don't, you won't be able to sleep."
Hatim was speechless.
He knew that what Wang Ming said was right.
After this financial crisis, many things will be reshuffled.
And in the process of shuffling, conflicts are absolutely inevitable.
As the core of the storm, the war in the Middle East can almost smell of gunpowder.
Everyone is gearing up, everyone is afraid of war, but they all know that war is inevitable.
the reason is simple.
There is a big gangster, and he still has one of his hands stuck here.
So, he could only shake his head and said:
"Let's send five more J-10s - anyway, you already have J-22s and J-20s."
"make a deal!"
A smile appeared on Wang Ming's face.
He thought secretly in his heart:
It is said that after the financial crisis, the whole world is full of opportunities for us.
But we didn't expect that the first opportunity would hit us so quickly.
Still in his own field!
The momentum of this development is very good.
Taking advantage of this trend, we will also make a fortune just like those Americans did.
