Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

At Huang Xuan's feet, there was a small ditch with black water, mixed with garbage, flowing to the lower direction, developing in all directions without restriction.

The surroundings looked like dilapidated buildings, thatched sheds, brick buildings and low tube buildings. Huang Xuan looked around, and what he saw was like a post-earthquake scene. If there were not a few black children playing in the distance, he would have thought of living In Tangshan.

Africa? Huang Xuan asked Lorraine with some regret.

Michigan, USA, Detroit East. The similarity is 91%. The residence time is about 10 days.

Slums? Maybe it's more vivid to use slums. Huang Xuan wiped off the thick leather hat on his head. Inside was a small round hat with densely woven metal wrapped around it, intertwined with his hair.

Yes. Lorraine replied truthfully: But you should pay attention to the children in front of you. They don't seem to be friendly to you.

Naturally, 1931 was the period of the Great Depression in the United States, and the unemployment rate was as high as 20%. This problem was more obvious in the Motor City, and a large number of skilled workers lost their jobs. Even after Ford proposed the $5 working system, such a situation Nor will it disappear.

Vulnerable people are always the main force in the unemployed, and the black people in Detroit are no exception. Although they did not crazily attribute the yellow race to the enemy's camp, the unfriendly atmosphere can be felt from the children in front of them.

In fact, Huang Xuan couldn't escape his childishness in every move. Several black children felt that his appearance was deceptive, so they walked over slowly.

I bet those shoes of his are worth a dollar. The leader refers to the Nike under Huang Xuan's feet. It has only been reinforced with the simplest densely woven alloy, but the outer leather is still resilient, which is easy to spot. This is a good thing.

Fifty cents, another kid guessed. There are 5 of them, the oldest should be no more than 15 years old, but maybe the blacks develop faster.

Huang Xuan heard their conversation clearly. If he was in China, he might have jumped up and punched this guy, then swollen his eyes, and told him that these shoes are worth 200 dollars. But in a foreign land, he was unconsciously worried. He looked around, as if he was afraid of an ambush.

My suggestion, it's better to run away now. Of course, Lorraine doesn't like to use energy. On the alien plane, energy consumption is far more than in p112.

Several adults around saw the behavior of the children, but no one paid any attention to them. There are roughly three types of men living in the slums, those who wish to leave, those who give up and those who are about to leave. But no matter what kind of person it is, try to find a job or work hard every day. Only in this way can it be possible to eat enough bread.

Fighting is commonplace here. Huang Xuan only needs to look at the rough arms and layers of scars of these children to understand that even with his strengthened physique, the odds of winning against 5 people are still very low. After looking around, he ran helplessly. Even if these five boys are really knocked down, there may be more kids running out. Just think of the 21st century American neighborhood fraternity to understand that there are two . Walter is not surprised at all.

Follow him. The children shouted, while Huang Xuan ran for a kilometer relatively easily. He was originally on the outer edge of the slum area, but now he has completely left the community.

The black water under his feet was still there, Huang Xuan kicked off the ground in annoyance, and the gray stones splashed hit his pants again.

Go sell food first? Huang Xuan asked Lorraine habitually, Where is the market here?

Battle Creek is the grain distribution center of the Detroit area, a satellite city outside of Detroit, but I don't think we can sell enough grain.

Why? The people Huang Xuan saw just now looked hungry. Under such circumstances, the price of food should be higher.

Lorraine replied with a standard: Because it is the Great Depression. The value of agricultural products has been depreciating since two years ago, and the price of food is often lower than the price of transportation. And no one can afford food.

Now is the time to pour milk into the river? Huang Xuan still remembered that a certain teacher once said that in a certain period, capitalist countries in economic crisis poured milk and coffee into rivers and seas, and shot cattle and sheep directly. in the valley.

That's right. Lorraine's answer made Huang Xuan feel weak for a while. It would be better to dump 15,000 tons of wheat back into the sea.

In 1929, before the collapse of Wall Street, the price of agricultural products in the United States plummeted. The first inducement was the price war of Soviet lumber. After that, the over-planted wheat harvest in Canada caused panic, which eventually caused the stock market to plummet. The depression begins.

From a simple point of view, the more output, the less consumption, the more wealth, but for the entire capitalist market, if output increases and consumption remains unchanged or even decreases, producers will reduce their income. When the reduction in earnings becomes unpredictable, factories will shut down, reducing consumption again, and then amplifying the crisis.

The reason why the economic crisis of the 1930s was the Great Depression is also closely related to the crazy investment in the 1920s. Factory owners expanded production in the hope of increasing productivity and manufacturing more products, but the result was disappointing. people disappointed.

This feeling of disappointment can be clearly felt in Detroit. Huang Xuan walked slowly on the bank of a river passing through the city. Along the way, there were not only many homeless men, but also dull-eyed, thick-bodied but doing nothing. the men.

The Great Depression has lasted for two years. The huge pressure of life has not only caused hunger, but also psychological hopelessness. In the 1980s, the United States had an unemployment rate of 12%-only half of the Great Depression-but as long as Looking at the remarks of Americans today, you can know how much panic and harm they caused in those few years.

No one wants food, what should we do? Huang Xuan was almost talking to himself. The supplies they brought were basically all agricultural products, and a few handicrafts were used as gifts, but no matter what kind they were, they were the cheapest items during this period.

Lorraine didn't speak, which proved that he had nothing to do. Huang Xuan sighed, feeling that he was very similar to the unemployed on the side of the road. If he got nothing from this trip, he would lose all his money - this is a real loss of money, not only all the supplies need to be discarded, but also the energy worth tens of millions of dollars is worthless. It was burned in vain. If the 300 million US dollars still frozen in the Huang's fund were not counted, if Huang Xuan wanted to enter a new plane again, he would have to sell his assets.

In order to store enough energy, it is not enough to rely on only a few electrolytic aluminum plants. Furans Company has not yet entered the formal stage, and the energy that can be used is pitifully small, and it will take a lot of time to buy futures. .

Thinking of this, Huang Xuan couldn't help speeding up his pace. If Lorraine couldn't help, he could only rely on himself.

At the end of the 1920s, Detroit reached its peak, with a population of more than 2 million, becoming one of the four major cities in the United States. As the backbone of the population, workers have an absolute advantage here.

If someone watches nba games, they will find that the style of the Detroit Pistons has always been tough. People call them bench gangsters-because Detroiters like this style, so only bad boys will be exchanged to Detroit. Stay in Detroit.

The traffic on the street is also permeated with toughness. Classic cars with loud horns roar past. When encountering slow cars, white or black people in the cars will yell and occasionally swear.

It's a totally unique style.

Huang Xuan's knowledge of Detroit far exceeds that of Japan. There was a time when the Huang family was very interested in the automobile industry, but of course, they didn't make the trip in the end.

However, during the one-year verification period, not only Zhang Xinyi, but Huang Qunsheng also participated in it. When eating together, Huang Xuan could hear Detroit's name from time to time.

Detroit is located in the Great Lakes region, backed by the Detroit River. The natural environment was originally very good, but years of industrial development have begun to destroy it all. Huang Xuan is walking by an unknown black water tributary, and the air is filled with the corruption of garbage With no breath, he whispered to Lorraine: The four major American automobile companies (General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and America) are all headquartered in Detroit. If it is now, the car production here should be the number one.

That's right. Lorraine answered with certainty.

Huang Xuan shrugged, brushed past the two young men, stopped and looked around, only then did he notice that many vehicles on the street were equally clumsy.

This is... Huang Xuan pointed to one of them.

The Model T, once the most sold car in the world, produced 57 percent of all cars produced by Ford before it ceased production in 1927

I know it. Model T has four bicycle-like tires. It entered China after the Revolution of 1911. In many films about Shanghai, a bodyguard stands on the door of a Model T. Position, eyeing the surrounding doors.

The Model T made Ford rise. When other cars sold for $3,000, the first Model T cost only $850. Five years ago, a Model T cost only $260. At that time, the Ford factory had begun to implement a daily wage of $5. , In other words, these workers only need two months' salary to buy a Model T car. This is still 1931, America in the quagmire.

Huang Xuan didn't really care about Model T cars. He was trying to recall what his mother said about Ford back then. Only then did he realize that putting things in his head is more useful than putting them in a database. .

Tell me about the Ford after Model T. Huang Xuan had no choice but to ask Lorraine for help. Fortunately, there is His Excellency the Guardian.

After Ford closed the Model T car production line, it took six months to develop the Model A car. The results were good. About 6 million were sold. In the 1930s, there were V8 and Model B cars.

It's right here. Huang Xuan clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand: Lorraine, we sold the technology for Ford's v8 and vb cars.

Selling technology is usually prohibited in plane transactions, which will greatly reduce the energy of the buffer zone, and the harvest will be less. Generally, people should still focus on material transactions.

Will killing Napoleon not reduce the energy of the buffer zone? Huang Xuan snorted. Even more disdainful of Lorraine's lesser harvest, some income is fine.

Lorraine argued: That's because the first sequence requires...

Okay. Huang Xuan pressed both hands and said, Don't bother with your sequence requirements. There is no plane base here. If you sell the technology, I get benefits, and you also have to buffer energy, how good?.
