the world is at stake

When Zhou Qingfeng wandered the streets of the imperial capital, his enemies were not idle either.

After North Korea announced its abandonment of its nuclear weapons development program, the United States was unwilling to see this "hard walnut" in Northeast Asia fall completely to China, and instead began to win over it.

Although the U.S. and North Korea still don't trust each other, Er Fatty has China's assistance, and his hands are much more abundant than in history.He also hopes that the United States can abandon sanctions against North Korea so that he can normally communicate with the international community.

As a gesture of goodwill, some foreigners arrested in the Pyongyang coup were released.Miura, who was selected in Japan, became the lucky one because he voluntarily confessed his crimes after being arrested.

In the Panmunjom Joint Security Zone, Miura stepped across the [-]th Parallel under the DPRK's searchlights.To the south are his Japanese companion Taiichi Ishidate, and South Korea's Park Ho-chang.

"Miura-kun has worked hard."

"I'm giving you trouble."

The two Japanese bowed to each other, and even the Korean Park Ho-chang bowed and nodded.The three boarded a military vehicle, left the safe zone and returned to Seoul, which was considered to be the end of the release.

In the car, Miura, who had narrowly escaped death, asked himself about the coup after he was arrested.When he learned that China and North Korea had once again strengthened the alliance and strengthened their military power on the peninsula, he was deeply moved.

"How is our situation?" Miura was in a good mood after being rescued from the catastrophe.

Shi Li asked back: "Which aspect did Miura-kun ask?"

"Overall, after this failed coup, do we have any chance of winning with the 'Holy Light'?" Miura asked.

Park Haochang drove the car, and replied very straightforwardly: "I think that the combination of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea has made great achievements in changing history. At least our economic development is far better than in history."

Miura was overjoyed and discussed it with his companions in detail.

Also possessing the technology of the next 20 years, the West, Japan and South Korea are still more advanced in many fields.Its talent pool is also richer, and it uses boring technology from the document state to practice, both in depth and breadth than the 'Holy Light' team.

For example, in the semiconductor industry, there are millions of employees in Japan and South Korea, and they are experienced and well-equipped.However, due to China's backward industry, the corresponding talent pool is poor, and the level is still relatively low, let alone experience.

"Our GDP growth in South Korea has exceeded the historical value for two consecutive years."

"Ah... is that so? What about Japan?"

"The Japanese economy is also developing well."

"Great, how much?"

specific?

Now that mobile phones can't access the Internet at any time, it takes a little effort to check the specific data.The three ran to the US military base and found a computer to check the annual reports issued by their respective governments.

South Korea's economy has maintained a high-speed growth trend, which is indeed the result of the efforts of the selected team.

Its GDP grew by 2000% in 2001, and it reached [-]% in [-] when it was only a little over [-]%.

Japan's GDP growth rate is also increasing, for example, it reached 2001% in [-]-hahaha... At any rate, it is much better than the historical "a few tenths".

Even the U.S. has made achievements far exceeding its history. In 2001, its GDP growth rate reached [-]%.

Good news, right?

Miura pursed his lips in front of the computer, looked at the proud Park Haochang, then looked at the confident Shi Li, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't the data of us and the United States look so good?"

Shi Li originally kept a polite smile, but was overwhelmed by Miura's words, so he could only say dejectedly: "Last year, the Internet bubble burst, and the Nasdaq index reached a historical high of 5048, and then it collapsed.

The world is in a historic stock market crash.

Stocks of major companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, and Dell led the plunge.The stock market crash won't end until the second half of this year, with $[-] trillion in market value wiped out within two years.There are not a few people who jump off buildings on Wall Street. "

Miura didn't know much about the economy, so he asked: "Since we know the stock market is going to collapse, why don't we stop it?"

Shi Li was embarrassed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Park Haochang shrugged and told the truth, "This is a five trillion yuan crash, who can stop it? Besides, because we knew it would crash, and we knew those stocks would crash, so..."

Now Miura understands, "So we are actively shorting to benefit from the crash? Didn't we say that the 'fraternity' can no longer do this kind of thing?"

Shi Li continued to play dumb, while Park Haochang shook his head and remained silent.

Miura continued to speculate: "So the white people in the 'fraternity' still couldn't resist the temptation to make quick money in the financial industry, right? This is really hateful, they clearly said that they want to strengthen the industry."

Ugh……

Shi Li finally spoke, and sighed: "This is five trillion US dollars of funds. It will not disappear out of thin air, but will be transferred from the stock market. As for where it will be transferred and who will get it, it depends on everyone's ability gone."

Totally understood.

If the U.S. stock market crashes, global stock markets will suffer.The bursting of the dot-com bubble will lead to poor global economic performance for the next few years.

This "not so good" will continue until the "subprime mortgage crisis" in 08, and the slightly recovered economy will be completely hit again, and then continue until the 21s of the 20st century.

"Is this what you call 'confidence in winning'?" Even as a 'modest and polite' Japanese, Miura wanted to give up his honorifics, complain, and even scold his mother.

"Why has the Korean economy been doing well in the past two years?" Miura asked again.

When the Japanese and American economies are both bad, the Korean economy is too good.

This time, Shi Li got into trouble and took the initiative to say: "The Korean economy is maintained by the Chinese market. Korean conglomerates have completely lost their principles. As long as they make money, they will do anything."

Park Ho-chang immediately retorted, "Japan can also make money from the Chinese market, so why should they blame us? Has the Korean government stopped you? Why blame others for your own incompetence?"

The Koreans show their temperament at a point, and they don't have a good attitude towards the Japanese.After arguing for a few words, Park Haochang left angrily, leaving only the two Japanese sitting in front of the computer.

After the new century, the performance of Japanese companies in the Chinese market is indeed far inferior to that of Korean companies.Shi Li had nothing to say, he could only sigh.

Miura was silent for a while, then reached out to search the financial news related to China on the computer.The Japanese media are still very concerned about this aspect, and soon found the "Asahi Shimbun" analysis report on China's economy in the past two years.

"GDP increased by 2000% in 12.00, and even soared to 2001% in 14.00?" Miura's eyes widened, and he read the numbers on the screen repeatedly, wondering if he had misread it.

"You read that right, Zhou Qingfeng's 'Holy Light' team's incentive to the Chinese economy is beyond imagination."

Shi Li sighed continuously.

"Sometimes I really hope that Zhou Qingfeng is Japan's elected candidate. If he goes to the parliament to beat those stubborn old antiques to death one by one, I absolutely support it 100%."

Since the economic collapse in the 90s of last century, Japanese society has been famously rigid and rigid.They are not seeking change to survive and re-open up the market, but instead they are obsessed with digging into the dead end.

On the contrary, the "Asahi Shimbun" was blunt in its report, saying that the internal cause of China's rapid economic growth comes from its highly effective anti-corruption and economic transformation in the past two years.

Compared with domestic cover-ups, Japanese financial reporters have collected dozens of bizarre cases involving high-level Chinese officials.In these cases, without exception, the deceased were killed under extremely strict protection.

A lot of news is unknown in China, but it is often spread abroad.

For example, "The second son of the Lingnan Wang family was beaten to pieces in the high-end club in the imperial capital." This case had a huge impact and shocked the whole Lingnan.

The Japanese media had a particularly interesting comment on this case, "Whoever is the ultimate beneficiary is the most suspected. The Lingnan Wang family has billions of dollars, and now all of them have entered the national treasury."

Seventeen other companies were killed together, so a huge amount of assets were confiscated.

The treasury has suddenly become rich. Although many of them are shares and real estate, the working capital is enough to support large-scale scientific research and infrastructure investment.

In addition, five real estate developers in Hong Kong died unexpectedly, which is a huge windfall in the hands of 'Holy Light'.By the way, by ransacking the house and selling it, the Hong Kong government has greatly won people's hearts and eased social conflicts.

After the anti-corruption campaign, the power of the central government has been greatly strengthened, allowing drastic system reforms to be carried out.

For example, 'Shengguang' entered the aerospace industry and directly dismantled several institutes of the aerospace department - 'Shengguang.com' reported that one institute had 5000 people, [-]/[-] of which were leaders, and few worked.

Now the leaders have been laid off, and the institutes have been reorganized. Many academicians have expressed their opinions to the central government, saying that this will affect the progress of some key projects, which is not good for the overall situation.

But the word "engage in the party and government" ends the controversy - "sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake", the number of leaders is several times that of the employees, and there is still a ghostly progress without thorough reform, which will only waste time and money.

Similarly, the Ministry of Railways was restructured into the "Railway Corporation" 12 years ahead of schedule; several aircraft manufacturing plants and engine plants were merged into AVIC; .

The Asahi Shimbun regards these intensive reforms as a major change in China's power structure, as well as preparations for China's entry into the WTO and competition in the global market.

"It is predicted that the growth rate of China's GDP in 2002 will reach more than 15.00%, because the internal friction that has long restricted its development has been greatly reduced. The interests of regions and departments have been abruptly broken.

We have reason to believe that all this started with the series of cases that began in early 2000.

Who is behind the accidental death of a large number of powerful figures? The reason is really worth exploring by the media, but it may also be a mystery of the century. "

Miura read the "Asahi Shimbun" report, and knew what happened behind it without thinking too much.He looked at Shi Li and asked, "We are still the second largest economy in the world, right?"

Shi Li nodded, "Yes."

"When was it surpassed by China?"

"About eight years from now."

"It doesn't look like eight years now."

"I agree with this view point."

"But our technological development is obviously faster than that of China. We have more high-tech talents, and the speed of digesting future technologies is far faster than that of China."

"Yes, we have made rapid progress and corrected many wrong technological development directions. For example, Toyota intends to change its future investment from hydrogen energy to lithium batteries."

"is that useful?"

"I don't know. It seems to be useful now. But I don't know in the long run."

The two Japanese chatted for a long time, and gradually looked at each other silently, neither of them spoke.But they obviously have ideas to communicate, but they are unwilling to take the initiative to speak, and can only look at each other.

Just like this for a long time, the Korean Park Haochang jumped out again, and said impatiently: "I have been waiting by the side for a long time, why didn't you express your opinion?"

The two Japanese were frightened and stunned.

Park Haochang asked again: "Are you trying to betray the 'Brotherhood'?"

Miura and Shi Li shook their heads at the same time, silently expressing their steadfastness.

Park Haochang was furious, "Don't deny it, I know what you guys want to do. I just want to say, I am willing to join the gang."

The two Japanese still shook their heads, but did not speak.

Park Haochang stomped anxiously, "Don't you Japanese have any normal expressions? Why don't you dare to admit it?"

Miura glanced at Shi Li, hesitated for a while and said, "Maybe we should have a drink."

Shi Li immediately agreed, "Yes, we should have a drink together to celebrate Miura."

"Have a drink? Shouldn't we find a way to contact 'Holy Light' at this time?" Park Haochang wanted to say more, but two Japanese covered his mouth and dragged him away abruptly.

"Stop it, stop it soon."

Chapter 77

Miura returned to Seoul, took Shi Li and Park Haochang to find a barbecue restaurant to drink.After eating and drinking, they walked along the street with wine bottles, planning to discuss something.

Although the three of them were staggering, they still kept a clear mind, and none of them wanted to take the initiative to speak. They could only talk about what they saw in front of them. There happened to be a game machine store by the roadside, and seven or eight passers-by were standing at the door, engrossed. Staring at a big screen.

"What is this?" Miura had been imprisoned in North Korea for nearly a year and was not aware of the latest trends.

Park Haochang only glanced at it, then sighed: "It's the latest game released by 'Holy Light'. The processor performance of the game console is not good enough to run high-quality masterpieces, so Jian Zou Pifeng pays great attention to the game plot. "

The screen outside the game console store only has simple pictures and text descriptions. A young man in his twenties is manipulating the character to choose different dialogues, scenes or items, and other onlookers have come up with ideas.

This game looks very sticky.

"what game is this?"

"A pornographic game called "Jang Ziyan"."

"Ah... pornographic games?" Miura was extremely confused, "'Holylight' sells pornographic games to promote their game consoles? Their marketing is too bold."

"No, this game cannot be underestimated. It is now a well-known masterpiece in Korea, and it has aroused a phenomenon-level discussion and attention."

"Is this still a miracle?"

"The heroine Jang Ja Yeon in the game is a newcomer to the entertainment industry. She was born in a poor family and must find ways to earn money to pay off her parents' debts. She is always facing various dangers.

The loan sharks will force Zhang Ziyan to make pornographic movies, the seniors of the agency company may rape her at any time, and the cooperative advertisers try their best to force her to accompany the chaebol.

Any dialogue, scene, time and supplies in the game have connotations.In short, the heroine faces danger everywhere, and must strike a balance between selling her body and making money.

But if she abandons conscience and shame and sells her body wantonly, the heroine will soon commit suicide due to depression.This game is very successful, and the creators have worked hard on the plot design and characterization. "

Park Haochang talked eloquently, with feelings in his heart, obviously he had also played games.

Miura was dumbfounded when he heard that, but his interest became even stronger.

Shi Li interface continued: "This game is indeed very interesting. It realistically depicts the Korean showbiz and chaebol circles. The character of Zhang Ziyan is extremely tragic. As long as you play it, you will be naturally substituted, and you can't help but be attracted.

The performance of the "Holy Light" game machine is obviously rotten, and it is because of similar text and picture games that it opened up the Japanese and Korean markets.Its price is not cheap at all, but there are a large number of fans.

The game marketing strategy of 'Holy Light' is also worthy of attention.Its works will not be released all at once, but one scene at a time.For example, "Zhang Ziyan" has been put into [-] scenes, and each scene has new plots and new challenges.

Every time there is a new plot, game fans scold the creators for being psychopaths and trying to abuse the characters they control.But every time I play it, I can't extricate myself from it.

Because the plot of this game is too real.Many stars in the Korean entertainment industry publicly stated that the characters in the game are a true portrayal of their lives.

The media regards this game as a "workplace textbook", and thinks that newcomers who have just entered the society need to play it in depth.So whether it is a game console or a game, it sells very well. "

While the three were chatting, a standing painting of a female character being raped suddenly appeared on the screen outside the store.The manipulative young man cursed angrily, "Why isn't there a good guy in this game?"

An uncle next to him patted the young man on the shoulder and sighed: "I reminded you just now, don't let Zi Yan believe her senior's words. This game is really too realistic."
