the world is at stake

In the next five to ten years, big-ticket commodities such as home appliances, building materials, and vehicles will continue to enter the homes of ordinary people-this is how China's annual production and sales of more than 2000 million cars come about.

Miura stood outside the car, looking at the large advertisements posted on the self-built houses of farmers across the street. After laughing, he was quite startled—no matter what the format is, as long as it works.

People like Zhou Qingfeng don't care about face, they can bend and stretch, they can be soft and tough, and they are typical pragmatists.He will not live and suffer for 'political correctness', all just to get stronger.

"Zhou Sang, can China's GDP continue to grow this year?" Miura asked, "Does your country's statistics department have any estimates?"

The time spans directly from September to December, and the weather in the south is also getting colder.

Zhou Qingfeng asked the construction team ahead to clarify the road, then turned around and headed to the next intersection.To Miura's question, he sneered and said, "Didn't you Sankei Shimbun make an estimate? A drop of three percent."

"I don't think it's that pessimistic. Your country's industrial electricity consumption has not dropped significantly, indicating that manufacturing production has not been greatly affected. Sales of steel and automobiles are on the contrary rising, and domestic demand stimulation has played a big role."

What Miura said was serious.

"I personally think there will be a growth of about [-]%. This is an optimistic estimate. Although your country's export data to the United States in the second half of the year has not been released, the United States has repeatedly announced that China's exports to the United States have fallen by half."

"So?" Zhou Qingfeng asked back, "What are you going to do?"

"Continue to do business." Miura said with a serious face: "I think your country's economic growth will return to [-]% next year. After all, the 'Sacred Light' iPhone will be launched."

Speaking of the iPhone, Miura sighed again and again.He also tried to secretly come up with such a sharp tool for making money in the market in Japan, but after tossing for a long time, he found that it didn't work at all.

Japan's mobile phone industry is not as good as South Korea's. The industrial chain is simply not matched, and it is impossible to mass-produce smartphones in advance.It would be nice to be a component supplier for 'Holy Light'.

Zhou Qingfeng laughed while driving, "If I told you that this year China Railway not only completed the scheduled investment of 8000 billion yuan, but also exceeded the additional investment of 2000 billion yuan in the second half of the year. How do you feel?"

One trillion yuan?

Miura's expression froze, "Relying on investment to drive the economy? It's only an extra 2000 billion yuan, which is not enough to offset your country's losses in the US market."

"This year, the domestic 'three barrels of oil' completed a US$200 billion oil import transaction with Iran. Iran not only spent the 1000 billion yuan loan obtained in the middle of the year, but also spent all the additional 500 billion yuan loan.

In addition, under the threat of the US military, Iraq also emptied out its wealth and brought us tens of billions of dollars in orders, more than half of which purchased civilian industrial products.

North Korea also spent 500 billion yuan in loans.There is also the rapid growth of China's trade volume in Central Asia and Africa, which adds up to an export value of more than 700 billion US dollars. "

Miura was a little moved, and after careful calculation in his heart, he replied bluntly: "Your country's estimated export volume to the United States this year is 800 billion U.S. dollars.

The United States said that punitive tariffs of more than 20.00% would cut China's exports to the United States by half.There is a gap of at least 400 billion US dollars.The data you listed now only fills in 700 billion US dollars. "

Having said that, Miura realized something was wrong.Because Zhou Qingfeng didn't count the economic improvement brought about by "targeted poverty alleviation" and "Shengguang Online Store".

According to Sankei Shimbun's own estimates, poverty alleviation and large-scale infrastructure investment will benefit more than 6 million people. Even if each person earns only 100 yuan more per month, the GDP will increase by 600 billion yuan in half a year.

In fact, this figure is obviously a huge underestimate.

Judging from the situation of following Zhou Qingfeng to the countryside in recent days, the employment created by poverty alleviation is real.After poor families have higher and more stable income, they have more optimistic predictions about the future and are more willing to spend money.

For example, when home appliances are discounted, this group will take out their savings for many years for compensatory purchases.There are also farmers' self-built houses that consume a lot of building materials.

In fact, the benefits generated by poverty alleviation have exceeded at least one trillion yuan, or even more.The more this helps the poor, the better the economy develops.It means that the more you spend, the more money you have.

For this alone, it is conservatively estimated that China's GDP can increase by US$1000 billion.This, combined with the previous increase in exports, not only made up for the lack of the US market, but became more.

Hiss...impossible.

This is counterintuitive. The Americans have played rogues and made bad moves. Not only did your Chinese economy not fall, but it is still growing strongly - the growth rate is far faster than expected?

Where is Lao Mei's face?

Zhou Qingfeng boldly advertised for Guizhou Mutton Noodles.With such a good marketing effect, should more than 3000 million people in Guizhou remember his love?

The combined population of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan exceeds [-] million.

[-]... [-] million!

'Shengguang' lost nearly [-] billion yuan in the construction of online stores in these poor places this year, but it has an excellent reputation.Will the common people recognize this brand?How much will it earn next?How much GDP can be produced?

Miura's face was shaking, red and hot.He thought of the comments in the circle of homeless candidates about Zhou Qingfeng's advertising for a local snack, and the mocking voices were very ugly.

The general idea is that the Americans are cornered and have to rely on a bowl of rice noodles to save the economy.

The ad was done so badly, it was simply a negative teaching material for promoting aesthetics, completely wasting the popularity and aura of the richest man in the world.

But now it seems that maybe they did it on purpose.

It's just that it's so bad, it triggers social discussion, and the media automatically promotes it.

Not only the mutton powder was publicized, but also the concept of poverty alleviation and solidarity.

This world is full of strong admiration mentality, what the strong do is right.As long as Zhou Qingfeng can succeed, as long as China's economy does not decline, who would dare to say that this advertisement was not well done afterwards?

Naturally, someone will stand up to interpret for the winner, ridicule the ignorance of the previous people, and regard it as a classic case in the field of propaganda-when everyone is thinking about how to be beautiful, an ugly one is more prominent.

In this regard, 'Coconut Tree Brand' coconut milk is an example.Others can't learn it even if they want to.

Miura's scalp was a little numb, feeling that something was wrong.Many hot money in the world economy are waiting to see China's recession, trying to short the Chinese economy with related concepts.

For example, it is the case in Hong Kong stocks, Chinese concept stocks in U.S. stocks, and even the domestic Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets.

"Zhou Sang, can China's economic growth reach 2002% in 5.00?" Miura asked suspiciously.

5.00% is a psychological dividing line.Compared with China's 5.00% GDP growth at every turn, [-]% would be considered a sign of recession.

Zhou Qingfeng answered irrelevantly and said: "Around January next year, China will announce this year's economic data. Due to the pessimistic attitude of the market, many financial institutions are short-selling, even many idiots in our country.

These guys who only look at Western public opinion and think they can see through the Chinese economy are selling stocks in an attempt to cause a stampede effect and cause further damage to the Chinese economy.So some stocks related to China are at a low point recently. "

Miura's face turned pale.

"Miura, you are also shorting, right?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a smile.

Miura began to hem and haw, unwilling to answer honestly.

"'Holy Light' has borrowed more than 1000 billion US dollars of foreign exchange from the national foreign exchange management department, and is sweeping the market together with the national team.

How much others throw, how much we charge.Now we have to wait until the end of January next year, when the national statistical department releases economic data.Do you think this counts as sitting in the manor? "

Miura's face was even paler, as if he was about to go bankrupt, he went straight to the rooftop.

Only then did Zhou Qingfeng spit out a number, "Although affected by the US trade war, the country has adopted many measures to protect employment, tap domestic demand and promote exports. This year's GDP is expected to grow by 11.00%."

"So high?" Miura yelled, "How could it be so high? Is it completely unaffected by the suppression of you by the Americans? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

After shouting for a long time, Miura suddenly became dejected.A trip to mainland China has shown that the country's government is indeed capable of filling the economic gap left by the trade war.

The more data you look at, the more you realize that its economy is rapidly transforming.The role of exports in the national economy is being rapidly replaced by domestic demand.

Miura took out his cell phone and started making calls.But as soon as Zhou Qingfeng reached out his hand, he snatched his phone and smashed it to pieces.

When Miura showed horror, Zhou Qingfeng said calmly: "The information I analyzed is not free."

"Zhou Sang, what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, the iPhone is going to be sold in the Japanese market."

Japan is a market with strong consumption power, but also a very closed market.When others have been playing with smartphones for a long time, they are still using old functional phones, and they are still proud of it.

Miura's face collapsed, and he said with a sad face: "Zhou Sang, I can't do it. Japan is very conservative, and the Americans are not easy to mess with."

"If you can't do such a trivial thing, what's the point of your life?" Zhou Qingfeng turned his head, revealing his fierceness.

Miura immediately changed his words: "Zhou Sang, wait. I will try my best, I will try my best."

"Just doing your best?"

"I will definitely do it, definitely!"

Chapter 23 Reform Pilot

Zhou Qingfeng returned the crushed mobile phone to Miura, then threw it outside a small township-level airport, and then walked away.

Miura had to bow to thank him with a bitter face, after all Zhou Sang didn't kick himself off the helicopter like last time, it was already very polite.

The Japanese was carrying a handbag, standing alone at the corner of a foreign country, sighing.

After half a year of construction, thousands of county and township aviation points all over Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have been successfully constructed.They are all cement runways within a kilometer, a low terminal building like a bus station, and a control tower about ten meters high.

The construction cost of this airstrip is less than one million yuan, and only small aircraft such as Y-5 and Y-12 can take off and land here.But in the southwestern region, it really promotes local traffic.

People in remote areas were very curious at first, but soon accepted that it is so strange to have an airport at their doorstep.Due to the gathering of people, the vicinity of the airport has become a lively place.

Miura walked into the terminal building, hearing the noise of soliciting tricycles and vans.Several small shops opened just outside the terminal building, selling some soup powder, fried vegetables, boiled eggs, corn cobs and other food.

The terminal building has only two floors, and the total area is only a thousand square meters, which is very simple.There are seven or eight surveillance cameras staring at the four corners of the building, and five or six security guards are everywhere to maintain order, and the law and order are not bad.

This is a trial of 'Shengguang' and the government's reform of backward areas. Before the establishment of a developed road network, airstrips were used to connect remote towns and villages.

Although the airport is a bit dirty, there are government subsidies for passenger and cargo transportation, and the price is not too expensive compared to road transportation, but it is much more time-sensitive.

Especially after the passenger transport has been replaced by Yun 12 with a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour, the safety and comfort are greatly improved, and the speed is even faster than taking a passenger car on a winding country road.

It's like when the high-speed rail just appeared, everyone felt that the doubled fare was too expensive and they were unwilling to take it.But after the real ride, no one wants to buy a ticket for the green leather car.

But 'Holy Light' ordered 12 Yun-[-]s in one go, and even Hafei made a fortune, so everyone was happy.

It used to be a big deal for ordinary people in mountainous areas to go to the provincial capital, and it took two or three days.Now it costs more than 300 yuan to buy a ticket, and I can definitely arrive within two hours.

That is, there are relatively few flights, and most small airports have at most one dedicated passenger flight a day.Therefore, Yun 5B, which is a combination of passenger and cargo, is also very popular.

Miura can speak Chinese, walked into the terminal, bought a new mobile phone in the gift shop, and inserted a mobile phone card.He immediately called his companion in Japan and asked to reconfirm China's economic data, especially the part related to poverty alleviation.

After making the phone call, Miura bought another plane ticket and planned to transfer to leave China and return to Tokyo——Zhou Qingfeng asked him to handle the sales of iPhones in Japan, not just casually.

The United States is engaged in a trade war, so it is natural to put pressure on its global allies to take action against China.The European side made it clear that it was not happy, and the pressure was all on the two dogs of Japan and South Korea.

The South Korean economy has achieved great development in recent years by being tied to China, not to mention that Wall Street has a controlling stake in the Korean conglomerate and is unwilling to give up the Chinese market.

In contrast, Japan is very hard, and the beautiful father can do whatever he says, holding the dog tightly by the leash.If there is any dissatisfaction, the Special Search Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office will come to arrest people.

However, if Zhou Qingfeng asked Miura to do the work, it was equivalent to giving him the right to sell the iPhone in Japan.

Alas... Miura sat on the bench in the terminal building, sighing heavily, not knowing what to do.When he sighed a few times, the old man sitting next to him suddenly said: "Brother, you were also downsized?"

What 'lite'?

Miura looked up with a puzzled expression on his face.

But when the old man met the same kind, he pointed to an advertising poster on the opposite wall and cursed bitterly: "I tell you, it's all caused by this bastard."

The ad for boiled mutton, on the poster is Zhou Qingfeng's headshot, with a line of words at the bottom - eat mutton, strengthen your yang energy, men should never fail with their golden guns!

Miura could understand it, and his face was shaking all the time—how could the richest man in the world resist such a vulgar advertisement?Does he really lose his face?

The old man continued to sigh: "It was the bad guy surnamed Zhou who made suggestions to the central government, which caused the imperial capital to send inspection teams and selected more than a dozen counties as pilot projects.

What are we going to do to "reduce staff and increase efficiency" and "better troops and streamline administration"? Forcibly cut off one-third of the county's financial support.

This kind of thing often happened in the past, but it was all perfunctory, and the people and departments were simplified more and more.This time, someone in the county came up with an idea to change the teachers and doctors to private ones to deal with the tasks of the superiors.

As a result, he was caught by the inspection team from the imperial capital, labeled as "disloyal to the party, dishonest, deliberately distorted against the central policy", and handed over to the procuratorate after double-opening.

This time it is really serious. All the more than 300 civil servants in our county will be re-employed, even the county and township heads are no exception.

After a round of assessment, nearly half of the manpower was unqualified, and all of them were dismissed and re-recruited from the society.It is said that employment is tight this year, and the county only plans to retain more than 800 civil servants, giving priority to recruiting fresh graduates as civil servants.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this county, so what if you don't know how to use computers?I can obviously work for a few more years, but now I can only go to the provincial capital to join my children and grandchildren. "

The old man sighed, very unwilling.At the end, he looked at Miura's face, "Brother, from your department, why have I never seen you in the county?"

Miura still had a bitter look on his face, and he was not interested in talking nonsense at all, so he just said bluntly: "I am Japanese."

The old man was surprised at first, and wanted to avoid suspicion after a while, but he quickly moved closer and asked, "Are you a reporter from Japan? Shall I reveal to you some inside information about the government colluding with businessmen?

It's the 'Holy Light' group, it's black, it's too dark!As a result, our officials have no means of living, and there is no way to survive.Many officials were arrested innocently because of trivial matters.

Why doesn't your international community report and report?

You can't let such an ambitious person be too carefree! "

Miura was expressionless, and said in a low voice: "How do you know that we didn't report it? How do you know that we just let it go? If this can be dealt with, why are we here to seek cooperation?

In addition, based on what you said just now, you are an authentic traitor.As the imperial army, I will personally authenticate you.There are also many diehards like you in the Japanese government, who are incompetent and stupid, and they still refuse to leave. It's really annoying. "

"You..." The old man was furious, pointed at Miura and cursed: "You must be a fake foreign devil. From that place? Who is your leader? Call your person in charge."

Miura took out his Japanese passport from his handbag and waved it, "Come... hit me. I can't cure Zhou Qingfeng, and I can't cure you, an old bureaucratic trash?

As a Japanese, I look down on you the most, and I will make a fuss.In the past, I would definitely like to make friends with you, but today I just don't like you. "

The red passport has three alienated Chinese characters 'Japan' on the head, which startled the old man.He heard that Miura's Chinese words were well-spoken, and he thought it was a fake bragging, but he didn't expect it to be a real Japanese.

"You... aren't you Japanese very proud? When did you become like this?" The old man was in a hurry, but he could only avoid it like a lost dog.

Miura erupted for a while, then withered again immediately.He put away his documents and sighed, "We don't want to become like this, it's all forced."

Employment is not good in China this year. A hundred or so counties across the country were selected to reorganize the civil service system, provide some jobs for college students, and eliminate many disadvantages at the grassroots level.
