Chapter 176, Huge Changes (Sit and Watch for the Leader 10/10)
"Today, the Petroleum Exporting Organization announced the lifting of the oil ban on us and called on us to use more oil. Bioenergy oil may be unsafe."
"Following yesterday's big news, the green currency depreciated significantly today, and the fruit currency appreciated significantly. The exchange rate of one green currency for the fruit currency fell below 5 points."
"Biliguo announced that this move is a move that will exacerbate global trade conflicts and will also seriously affect trade around the world. It refuses to use Guo currency for settlement and trade, and at the same time announced that we will be kicked out of the currency settlement group."
Soon, on the second day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, major news began to appear frequently outside.
"I'm going, I'm finally strong-willed, I'm finally going to push it into the status of an international currency. Now, I don't have to change money when I go out, and I can spend it all over the world."
"Haha, it's so cool. Let you use oil to choke us. Now our bio-oil has started to produce oil. Let's see how you continue to choke us. In the future, we will use bio-oil to hit you big dogs.
You have a bruised nose and a swollen face, but if you don't sell oil to us, let me see who else you can sell your oil to."
"Well, don't say it too early. It's really hard for those of us doing foreign trade business. We might lose our jobs this year."
"Yes, our factory makes clothing. It is already difficult for the currency to appreciate. If we have to use our own fruit currency in the future, it will be even more difficult. I don't know how to operate this factory in the future. Now
The labor costs are getting higher and higher, and life is too difficult.”
"Isn't that right? Many customers came to us early this morning to cancel their orders. There is no way. They don't have our fruit coins in their hands, only green coins. How can they sell them in the future?"
"For foreign trade, especially labor-intensive industries, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Exporting will definitely become more and more difficult in the future. Many factories may close down and many people will lose their jobs."
"The difficulties are only temporary. We are the world's factory. We produce most of the world's commodities. Some things must be used. We are promoting the internationalization of fruit currency for long-term interests."
"That's right, if they want to buy our products, they must sell them to us first, so that what we get is an equivalent exchange. Otherwise, even if they seem to hold trillions of green coins in their hands, that's nothing.
It’s just numbers. As soon as they print money, our wealth will depreciate, which means we are working for nothing.”
"We ordinary people don't understand much about these things. We only know that it may be difficult this year and finding a job is a big problem."
"No, we don't know how many people are going to lose their jobs."
"If foreign trade doesn't work, we can switch to domestic sales. The quality of foreign trade products has always been better than what we use ourselves. Why can't we use good products on our own people?"
"This is indeed a double-edged sword. It will be good for us in the long run, but in the short term, we will definitely experience a lot of difficulties. Many people will lose their jobs and many factories will close down."
"This is the transformation. We can't always produce clothes and shoes. We must slowly develop into mid-to-high-end industries."
"Actually, you don't have to worry. Everything is being advanced step by step. This year, clothes, shoes and other fields that involve a large number of jobs are not included in the list. What is included in the list are the two major fields of electronic consumer products and biopharmaceuticals.
.”
"Ninety percent of the world's mobile phones are now produced by us, and we can now achieve 100% localization. This is indeed a hard punch. If you want to buy our mobile phones, you must use our products.
We’ll settle the matter later.”
"As for biopharmaceuticals, these are mainly targeted at Xinghai Technology's genetic weight-loss drugs, AIDS vaccines and Kesailin. These three products can only be produced by Xinghai Technology, and they are still necessary. If you want to buy them, you must use us.
The fruit coins will be used to settle the payment.”
"I'll quietly tell you some good news. I specialize in imported fruit business. As the news was announced, the price of our imported fruits suddenly dropped a lot."
"The prices of cherries and durians that everyone loves to eat have dropped by more than half. In the future, it is estimated that everyone will be able to eat them freely."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Soon you will feel the many benefits brought by currency internationalization. Now the price of cherries, even if they are imported from South America, used to be dozens of pounds per kilo. The most expensive ones seem to be
It sold for hundreds, but now you can buy it for only a dozen yuan."
"There is also durian. It used to cost two to three hundred to buy a durian, but now you can get it for less than one hundred. As for other fruits, the prices are even cheaper."
"This is okay, we can finally achieve the freedom of durian and cherries!"
"This is really bad news. My family is from Dongshan and specializes in growing cherries. The price of these cherries has plummeted. I will make some people cry in the future."
"Yes, I grow mangoes in Nanhai. The price of these mangoes will definitely fall. It's over. I just invested hundreds of thousands."
"..."
With the announcement of various news, there is also a heated discussion on the Internet.
Some people applaud, and some people secretly complain. Many people engaged in export trade will have a really hard time in the future. A sharp appreciation of the currency is not conducive to exports. What is even more difficult is that if the settlement is done in fruit currency in the future, the export business will
It will be even harder to do.
At the same time on the other side of the ocean.
William Li came to the supermarket to buy daily necessities as usual. When he saw the prices of the goods on the shelves, he couldn't help but curse.
Prices have increased again, and this time the price increase is very large, basically increasing by about 20%, and some even increasing by more than half.
"shit~"
"Oh, God, the price has increased again, this is too expensive!"
"The money given out is simply not enough to offset inflation. Everything has gone up, and prices are too expensive."
You can hear people complaining everywhere. Prices are rising and inflation is accelerating. This is almost the norm in recent years.
In the past, when I was shopping, I could buy a lot of things with dozens of green coins. The prices of many things were calculated in cents. One green coin could buy a large pile of meat, and I could also buy a lot of milk.
You can buy big buckets, cheap clothes, and even a few green coins or more than a dozen green coins.
You can buy very good quality clothes with dozens of green coins, so their consumption has always been very casual and the waste is very serious.
However, now, after the price increase in the past few years, you can still see products priced in cents before, but now they are extinct and can no longer be seen.
Random products cost several green coins or more than a dozen green coins. There is a history of buying a large shopping cart with dozens of green coins and never returning them. When everyone buys something, they have to do the math carefully.
, try to buy as little as possible, after all, the unemployment rate is very high now, many people are unemployed, and it is difficult for income to increase.
If they continue to shop like before, they will spend hundreds of green coins, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden and pressure for them.
William Li and his wife Alice took the computer and calculated carefully.
The pressure is still very high now. William Li has never found a job. Although his parents sold the house and remitted the money, they paid off the mortgage in one lump sum and there is still some leftover, but there is definitely no way to hold on for too long.
of.
Life is very tight, and the children are clamoring to buy toys, but when they see that the prices of toys have increased even more outrageously, they are reluctant to buy them.
"Too expensive, too expensive!"
"The prices have increased so much overnight. Even clothes, shoes, toys, and even paper towels have increased in price."
Alice was shaking her head while shopping.
The large-scale water release has already caused prices to skyrocket. Now the status of the green currency as an international currency has been shaken and has depreciated significantly. As almost all goods need to be imported, prices have skyrocketed overnight.
I carefully selected and spent a lot of money to buy a cartload of things, and when I came to the checkout counter, I seemed to be preparing to settle and pay.
"Bang~bang~"
Following several gunshots, people in the supermarket suddenly screamed and hid on the ground one after another. Before everyone could figure out the situation, a large group of black uncles rushed in with their faces covered.
They rushed to the checkout counter immediately, robbed the cash in the checkout counter, and then took the shopping cart and started shopping for zero yuan in the supermarket.
The scene was in chaos. In the chaos, someone pushed a shopping cart and walked outside. When other people saw this, they immediately followed suit and ran outside like birds and animals. As for the problem of not paying the checkout,
Now no one cares or cares at all.
When William Li and Alice saw this, they also pushed their shopping carts, followed the crowd, and hurried out. When they got outside, they quickly transferred the contents of the shopping carts to their cars, and quickly moved out.
Just ran away.
"Haha, it feels really good to buy it for zero yuan."
William Li couldn't help but burst into laughter. He finally had a prostitute for nothing. Now he understood why the old gangsters like to buy for zero dollars. This feeling was really not good.
"Bang~bang~"
But before he could be happy, a few gunshots startled him again. It turned out to be shops on both sides of the road. There were really large groups of people shopping for zero yuan. In the past, most of them were black uncles, but now there are even a large number of people.
All the white people joined in, smashed open the stores, and a large number of people rushed in. In the blink of an eye, every store was looted.
"Go, go~"
William Li hurriedly sped away from here, but soon, when he came to a main road, the road was suddenly blocked. Looking ahead, it turned out that there were a large number of unemployed people shouting slogans and holding up signs holding I need a job.
Class signs at the parade.
"More and more people are unemployed!"
William Li sighed.
