Chapter 413 Fraud

Beijing.

ADM special research group.

Lao Ren reported his recent work to his superiors.

First, currency.

Red banknotes appreciate internally and depreciate externally, which can absorb more foreign exchange and promote export trade.

Correspondingly, the country needs to take out more red banknotes to exchange for foreign exchange, which is used to introduce technology and equipment from overseas, purchase goods, repay foreign debts, and pay for study abroad and travel expenses.

Therefore, the production capacity of the printing press is seriously insufficient.

More printing presses need to be installed and more red banknotes need to be issued.

However, since so much foreign exchange could not be spent all at once, if the company wanted to maximize its profits, it had to find a way to buy some high-yield products.

Such as gold, stocks, futures, high-value currencies...

Forget about gold. I don't know which mysterious force has been collecting gold on a global scale for four years. They not only bought gold bars, gold jewelry, and golden Buddhas, but also robbed gold mines and vaults. During the Iraq War, they also collected Iraq's gold in front of the main North American army.

Nowadays, the price of gold has skyrocketed, up 730%, to about 380 red coins per gram, causing no one to dare to sell.

It’s not that I’m afraid of falling, it’s that I’m afraid of being snatched away.

It is said that last month, in order to stabilize the currency fluctuations caused by the North African war, England specially purchased 500 tons of gold from Australia and escorted it with two destroyers.

But not long after the two warships left the port, they suddenly disappeared without a sound and have not been heard from since.

In short, no matter how awesome you are, don't touch gold.

And you should never touch stocks or futures.

Because the international situation has been extremely complicated in recent years.

You took advantage of the investment boom of Dongfang and bought A shares. Suddenly, North America launched 3G technology and licensed it to Dongfang free of charge. U.S. stocks soared and A shares fell slightly. Seeing this, you reluctantly sold your shares, fled A shares, and bought U.S. stocks crazily. Unexpectedly, Sanyuan Agriculture suddenly launched three series of handheld game consoles. U.S. stocks fell to the point where the power was turned off, and A shares took off directly.

You were in so much pain that you had to pick the soles of your feet and were forced to sell your shares at a loss and leave the U.S. stock market and return to the A-share market. You never expected that the three series of handheld game consoles would reach a settlement with Federal Capital, the U.S. stock market would soar, and the A-share market would fall again.

Stocks are so mysterious, and funds are equally fantastic.

Two years ago, the East joined the WTO. You had a hunch that the East's industry was about to take off and the demand for various rare metals would surge, so you bought a copper mining fund.

Unexpectedly, Sanyuan Agriculture discovered the world's largest open-pit copper mine, Aynak, in Afghanistan, causing copper prices to plummet.

You reluctantly cut your losses and switch to soybeans, but you encounter a bumper harvest in Amur, March-Five soybean seeds are on the market, and soybean prices fall.

At the same time, the Battle of Aynak broke out, the Peruvian copper mines were looted by the Armed Forces, the global copper supply was insufficient, and the copper price soared. You gritted your teeth and bought the copper mine fund again. You never expected that the Meihekou Development Zone would be established and the Far East Trading Company would lower the copper price, and you lost a lot of money.

Of course, this "you" definitely does not refer to the ADM special research team.

So the only thing you can invest in now is probably 'high-value currencies'.

That is, the Euro, or the US dollar.

Over the past year, the red note and the euro have been pegged to each other, the red note has depreciated, the value of the euro has remained unchanged, and the investment returns have been small.

In order to prevent capital from flowing back to the East and to increase the market competitiveness of North American products, Federal Capital continued to lower interest rates, hoping that the US dollar would depreciate and force the red currency to appreciate, but ultimately failed.

At this point, the US dollar's interest rate cut cycle has ended and it is time to raise interest rates.

In other words, there is no absolute relationship between interest rate cuts and interest rate increases and currency depreciation or appreciation.

When North America is approaching an economic crisis, it will cut interest rates to depreciate the US dollar, allowing its currency to be exchanged for more US dollars, so that North America can attract more capital to invest, thereby increasing employment rates, and then completing commodity exports and making more money internationally.

Once all the capital entering North America has made money, Federal Capital will choose to continue raising interest rates in order to keep their funds in North America and to attract more external capital, so that these capitals can earn more interest.

The process is called: dollar tide.

Interest rate cut cycle: US dollars flow into other countries → their currencies depreciate and their debts increase.

Interest rate hike cycle: US dollar returns to North America → its currency appreciates, but its country loses capital investment, suffers economic depression, and is unable to repay its US dollar debt.

Ultimately, federal capital achieved the goal of reaping global wealth.

In this process, if federal capital goes too far or other countries implement effective countermeasures, an economic crisis will break out in North America.

What Mr. Ren needs to do now is, first, use the foreign exchange in his own hands to buy a large amount of U.S. bonds before the U.S. dollar interest rate increases, and then get more interest after the interest rate increases.

The second is to disrupt the rhythm of the US dollar tide, accelerate the rate of interest rate hikes in the US dollar, and allow the company to earn more interest in a short period of time.

Third, the appreciation of the US dollar can be exchanged for more and more red banknotes. In order to avoid losses, it is necessary to increase the value of the red banknotes.

Fourth, the red banknotes appreciated in value, and the amount of foreign currency exchanged for red banknotes decreased. In order to increase foreign investment in the Eastern market and to facilitate foreign investment loans, it is necessary to lower the interest rate on red banknotes.

(Regarding 'interest rate cut → capital repatriation', in the previous article, many book friends said that the book had it written the other way around, and that it should be interest rate hikes that can achieve capital repatriation. In fact, the historical background is different.

In 03, even though North America was deindustrializing, it still focused on the real economy, otherwise there would not be so many high-tech industries. Therefore, "interest rate cuts are conducive to loans and will attract external companies to develop in North America."

In reality, North America is completely deindustrialized and focuses on financial investment. Interest rate hikes are conducive to attracting overseas capital to deposit money in North America, so "interest rate hikes will trigger capital repatriation."

Correspondingly, the East focuses on the real economy. In order to attract overseas capital and facilitate overseas capital loans for development in the East, such as building factories and purchasing real estate, it has significantly lowered interest rates, so interest rates are now very low.

So the East at this stage is actually a bit similar to North America in 03. Of course, it is only a bit similar. After all, the essence is different.

So, if the East focuses on finance in the future, it is very likely to be like reincarnation, very similar to North America today... In general, history is a vicious circle.)
After reporting on currency, Lao Ren elaborated on the current financial and economic development in the East.

A shares are connected to the Xintai Data Center, and through high-precision operations, the average annual return of -8.3% has been increased to 4.7%. By utilizing the commodities in the trade hall in the form of cost supply, the annual return of 4.7% has been increased to 12%~20% at the market economy level.

In other words, you make a profit of 10 yuan in the stock market, the market price of a razor is 20 yuan, and the cost is 10 yuan. You can use the 10 yuan profit from the stock market to buy this razor without cashing out.

On the contrary, if you cash out, you will need to pay 20 yuan.

This move has greatly boosted people's enthusiasm for investing in A-shares, and also increased the total market value of A-shares from 4.7 trillion to 19 trillion. It has also filled specific financial accounts, such as the Poor Township Development Fund in Agriculture 3.0, the Extremely Poor Family Education Fund in the Hundred Schools Alliance, the Special Family Medical Fund in Sanyuan Pharmaceutical, the Hundred Schools Alliance-College Student Volunteer Association Fund, the Dongshan Expressway-Yellow River Bridge Management Fund, etc., with nearly 10 trillion red banknotes, helping superiors solve many problems that were difficult to solve in the past, and also greatly promoted the development of the Eastern economy.

Superior: "Wait, you helped us solve the problem?"

Lao Ren nodded, "Yes."

“Doesn’t this solve problems within the factory?”

"Doesn't the factory belong to us?"

"···"

Lao Ren continued: "Against this background, Sanyuan Agriculture launched three series of handheld games. The original intention was to ensure that the red currency increased internally and depreciated externally, or that the red currency increased internally and increased externally, narrowing the gap with developed countries, and achieving two no worries and three guarantees."

"Two no worries, three guarantees?"

"Yes, leader. We don't have to worry about food or clothing. We have guaranteed basic medical care, compulsory education, and housing security."

“When did we make this decision?”

“No plan?”

"Really do not have."

"Leader, you must have remembered it wrong... Just tell me, is this decision correct?"

"Yes! That's right!"

"Then do you remember?"

"Now I remember, I did make it."

Lao Ren continued, "But in fact, the foundation of Sanxi Electronics is still around the 1950s. The reason why it has achieved its current success is mainly due to the use of high-tech materials, which has achieved a qualitative leap and taken a completely different path to develop electronic devices that are different from the mainstream in the world today."

"In other words, among the three series of handheld game consoles that have been made public, the three series of electronic industry can achieve mass production and meet market demand. The only models are the agricultural version, medical version, and financial version. The color screen SY handheld game console and the color screen Earl Elaine handheld game console need to rely on the semiconductor supply and foundry of Wabang Island."

"Once the North American Third, Fifth, and Seventh Fleets return to the Asia-Pacific, the Japanese will no longer dare to supply or manufacture for them."

"So the three series of handheld game consoles are only targeting a specific consumer group in China. They are still unable to compete with 3G mobile phones in the large and international markets."

"Like student families, parents can buy a 3-series handheld game console for their children and two G phones for their own use."

"The reason why Yu Yang promoted it so much is nothing more than betting that Federal Capital does not know the actual situation of Sanxi Electronics, betting that Federal Capital was frightened by Sanxi Industry's production capacity in the past, and betting that Federal Capital dare not gamble."

"In this case, Federal Capital will certainly make substantial concessions considering the Eastern market, allowing the 3-series handheld game consoles and G mobile phones to coexist in the market and making both models compatible with each other's application services."

After looking through the relevant information, the superior said, "It seems that the competition between the two sides will shift from the product to the social evaluation level. You criticize my app for being a scam, and I criticize your app for being a scam."

“Yeah, that’s also called marketing.”

"Yu Sanyuan is at a disadvantage." Old Ren nodded without saying anything.

Sanyuan Agriculture’s external publicity channels are divided into the factory channel managed by the factory art troupe, factory newspapers and periodicals, and three series of forums.

Factory channels and newspapers can only be broadcast and distributed within the factory.

Although the Sanxi Forum can be accessed through the world's Internet, many countries around the world have imposed restrictions on it, especially in North America. Only farmers who have joined Agriculture 3.0 can browse it with the help of Sanxi devices.

However, newspapers and television programs from outside can enter the factory.

Based on this, even if the three series of handheld game consoles and 3G mobile phones are integrated into the market, Sanyuan Agriculture will still suffer a great disadvantage in marketing.

Because there are too many news media controlled by federal capital.

Moreover, the popularity accumulated by these news media over a long period of time is far beyond the reach of the three series of propaganda channels.

For example, you know the New York Times, but you don’t know the Sanyuanchang Newspaper.

When the New York Times said that Sanyuan Factory News was a lie, you were influenced by your own ideas and, without knowing the truth, you would subconsciously believe that Sanyuan Factory News was indeed a lie.

Even if the Sanyuan factory newspaper tells you the truth, you will go to Time magazine to verify its authenticity.

Yet Time and the New York Times go together.

In the end, you still think that the Sanyuan factory report is a lie.

The same reason.

When all the media in the world said that Yu Sanyuan had died suddenly, even if the Sanyuan factory newspaper came out to clarify, you would still think that Yu Sanyuan had indeed died suddenly.

This is what is so scary about the North American Democratic faction.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Sanyuan always regards You Zi as his biggest enemy.

The superior thought for a long time and said, "In order to create a fair and just market competition environment, it is necessary for us to issue some documents to standardize the operation of news media."

“There are also online portals and online media.”

"Comrade Ren, I'll leave this matter to you."

"It's not right to be in the right place, it's better to let me take charge of the radio and television system."

"You think too much."

"Then leave it to the boss."

"You are thinking too much."

"···"

···
10 month 15 number.

The Vostok manned space program was a huge success, and Vostok astronauts entered space for the first time.

the same day.

After several days of discussion, Yu Yang, Old Bull and Old Smith finally reached a final cooperation intention.

That is, the three series of handheld game consoles and 3G mobile phones will coexist in the market, both sides will be compatible with each other's application services, and a firewall will be set up for the ternary communication network to allow entry into the North American market.

Subsequently.

Yu Yang took the two old men to visit and experience the new changes in Shiliying Street.

For example, the three-series application incubator - Hangaixi e-commerce zone.

For example, the three-series electronics factory cluster - Puyang Electronic Industrial Park.

For example, AI Model Training Center-Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau.

For example, AI Application Testing Center-Xintai City.

At the same time, business groups sent by federal capital also arrived in Shiliying one after another.

We started to conduct some tests and inspections on the three series of electronic products.

Including the following mandatory items that must be obtained for sales in the United States:

FCC-ID certification (the number given by FCC to electronic products),

FCC-DOC certification (wireless function products),

FCC-VOC certification (self-test),

FDA certification (North American food and drug supervision), DOE certification (North American energy licensing), CPSC certification (detection of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates).

As well as voluntary UL certification (purchaser requirement), ETL certification (safety mark), Energy Star certification (energy saving and power consumption), etc.

and some additional children's product CPC certification, compliance requirements and North American policy requirements.

Then there is the network firewall, referred to as "wall", which involves sensitive topics, climbing ladders and walls, graphics card matrix autonomous defense and other issues.

···
A week later.

Xintai City.

Driverless BRT buses are running on the streets, laser projections are being shown on large screens, mini drones are occasionally flying high in the sky, and a huge magnetically levitated globe is floating in the city center square...

People coming and going are either wearing AR goggles, riding electric scooters, or walking with humanoid robots.

Old Bu and Old Smith, who came here for the first time, were stunned for more than ten seconds before they came to their senses.

Yu Yang put AR goggles on the two people's faces.

In an instant, the scene in the field of vision changed again.

Virtual values, virtual pointers, virtual time...

"Incredible!"

Old Bu looked at his health bar and the various values ​​of his body, "This is incredible!"

Old Smith's eyes widened.

Because in AR eyepiece, its life ended in 2012.

And pay 200 million, look at old Bull...
2018!

"impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Old Smith's strong reaction, Yu Yang asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"How could I possibly die earlier than Old Bull?"

"Oh, don't mind that thing, it's just a fortune-telling program jointly launched by Futu Temple and Dongyue Daomen."

"Then can you tell me why you can live to the year 2450?"

"Because I'm cultivating immortality."

"···"

"Oh, you may not understand what cultivation is. In North American terms, I have unlocked my genetic lock and my brain development has exceeded 20%."

"···"

Old Bu obviously didn't believe these things and interrupted the two people's nonsense, "Yu, where is the toilet?"

Yu Yang looked at the trash can, "Toilet!"

next moment.

A portable toilet ran out of the alley and opened its door.

Yu Yang made a gesture of invitation.

Old Bu: “…”
