Chapter 739 [Carbon Standard (), Debt Expansion ()]
Han Qiulin couldn't help but look at Lu Ming and asked curiously: "Do you think this can be realized?"
Hearing this, Lu Ming did not answer directly, but immediately analyzed: "Think about the point of this question? Under the conditions of the Western market economy, if investing in environmental protection, or investing in the climate, could make money, the private sector would have already made money.
After entering, the reason why there are not so many funds entering related fields related to climate change shows that it is not profitable now.”
If I could make money, the funds would have already gone in, why would I wait until now?
Han Qiulin couldn't help but nodded suddenly: "I see, it makes sense."
"The attitude of these people today seems to be that they want to force themselves." Lu Ming smiled and said lightly: "If you insist on doing this, don't think about it, you will definitely need financial subsidies, so the final additional cost will be
Every taxpayer in the world must pay the bill, isn’t that what it says?”
Indeed, if you want such a large amount of funds to flow in now, you must provide large-scale subsidies, otherwise why would you go in?
The cost of financial subsidies is of course spread on the head of every taxpayer, becoming an additional cost for all taxpayers, and the subsidy period will be quite long.
Lu Ming paused and said: "Of course, if such a large amount of money really goes into new energy and supporting facilities, it will definitely reduce the cost of new energy. For example, photovoltaics are declining very quickly."
This matter is definitely one of the vested interests for Tiansheng Capital. Now it has deeply rooted in the new energy field and has a huge first-mover advantage. It can be said that it can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the world change with a smile.
Han Qiulin followed Lu Ming's thinking and analyzed it by herself: "If every taxpayer in the world needs to bear such an additional cost, it will inevitably lead to people either reducing consumption or expanding debt. One of the two will happen.
.If consumption is reduced because the public has to bear a new cost, the economy will not be able to develop, and all countries will definitely not agree."
Having said this, she looked at Lu Ming and said, "So, if things really progress like this, the only option is to add new debts."
Lu Ming nodded and glanced at Han Qiulin approvingly, sighed and said: "Yes, this is the reason. Eventually we will see that there will be a new variety in the world's total debt, let's call it
'Environmental debt', bankers and financiers all over the world show great concern about climate change because all debts are the assets of bankers and financiers."
"All those who are in debt have to pay principal and interest to financial institutions every month. Additional debt is an additional chain, which makes the burden on everyone in the world heavier, and makes the assets and liabilities of financiers and bankers around the world
As their financial statements become stronger, their assets will also become richer, and wealth will further concentrate among a few people."
At this point, Lu Ming smiled: "Looking at this issue from the perspective of financial capital, who would not be enthusiastic? Who would not support it? Why not do something that is obviously a good thing and has endless benefits?"
Han Qiulin asked: "Does Tiansheng Capital really want to participate?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Of course you participate. If you don't participate, you're a fool. Fortunately, our country has industrialized and become comprehensive, and we have changed from being game participants in the past to being one of the rule makers of today's new game."
One."
After a moment of pause, Lu Ming sighed: "What is really difficult is that for those countries and regions that have not yet achieved industrialization, they will basically be unable to stand up under the future carbon tax and the world's lowest tax rate under the two major labeling systems."
Under the world system of carbon emissions tax and the world's lowest tax rate, it has become a thing of the past to rely on low-end manufacturing accumulation to achieve industrialization as before. If the carbon emissions of the goods produced by your company exceed the standard, you must increase taxes, otherwise you will sell them.
Don’t go out; your company wants to rely on low tax rates to complete primitive accumulation. Sorry, this path is not feasible under the background of the world’s lowest tax rate.
If you cannot complete accumulation, you cannot develop. The world market has nothing to do with you, and of course it is impossible to achieve industrialization.
Other countries and regions do not have markets like Greater China. A country's market can be so huge that it can develop its own relatively independent economic cycle. It is even more impossible for other countries and regions to achieve industrialization.
At the end, Lu Ming looked at Han Qiulin who was thinking and smiled: "The best thing about this 'environmental debt' is that it is based on a better moral high ground. The whole world can use this 'environmental debt' as collateral to create
New credit expansion.”
Gu Zhi
"And it corresponds to an obligation that humans have to assume in order to save the earth on which they live. See how much you play with it. It sounds much better than the annoying US dollar debt. Relatively speaking,
, people all over the world will of course be more willing to accept environmental debt. If it is not profitable, it will not be early, and those people are very smart."
After a while, Lu Ming looked at the time and ended the topic: "It's getting late. Go back. If you have any work, come over tomorrow morning and deal with it."
After speaking, Lu Ming stood up and left the company.
"Wait a minute." Han Qiulin suddenly stopped him.
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Lu Ming turned his head and glanced at her. Han Qiulin was still sitting with no intention of moving. She looked at him and suddenly said with a smile: "Since it's already so late, let's wait a little later.
."
"Uh..." Lu Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw her like this, but he immediately came to his senses, shook his head, looked at her with a smile, and pretended to sigh: "Oh, it seems that there is nothing left today.
You won’t let me leave.”
Han Qiulin raised her eyebrows and said, "So, let's open a warehouse to store grain."
At the end, Lu Ming walked over slowly with a smile and said: "Okay, obey the order, I will open the warehouse according to the order, and I will definitely pay the full amount, and I will never deduct the food and salary."

The next day, Tuesday, June 11th.
The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets opened slightly higher in early trading today. After the opening, the three major stock indexes fluctuated upwards. The two markets increased in volume and the rebound continued.
About five minutes after the market opened, the concept of rare earth permanent magnets started to rise sharply after being flat for five minutes. It immediately broke out strongly in the early trading and set off a daily limit wave. The sector rose by more than 5 points.
Materials, Tiantong shares and other stocks have reached their daily limit.
Among them, Jinli Permanent Magnet's daily limit today has reversed yesterday's negative line, with a cumulative increase of +260% in one month. It is undoubtedly the leading target of this market round of the rare earth permanent magnet concept.
At about 10 o'clock, Cai Lianshe issued a text message stating that the three departments will go to Duodi to investigate strategic mineral resources such as rare earths. The reporter learned that the Development Committee issued the "Notice on Conducting Research on the Situation of Strategic New Mineral Resources such as Rare Earths".
Yesterday, teams led by heads of the Development Committee, the Ministry of Industry, and departments and bureaus unrelated to natural resources rushed to many places to conduct investigations.
As soon as the news came out, the rare earth permanent magnet concept sector continued to rise, with the sector rising by more than 6%. Recently, the hype of the rare earth concept has been very hot, and it is all based on the current general situation. The story here can be told.
Much more.

(Ps: Some book friends think that the 150 trillion U.S. dollars in the article is unrealistic and outrageous, but the reality is so outrageous. This plot is also supported by real data.
On November 3, 2021, the so-called Financing Day of the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, a focus of the day was a major announcement: nearly 500 global financial services companies with US$130 trillion in assets (accounting for approximately 1% of global financial assets)
40%) are committed to meeting the climate goals set in the Paris Agreement, which include limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
In fact, some financial institutions believe that $130 trillion is not enough, and at least $150 trillion is needed. If you have any questions, you can search for relevant news from last year’s Glasgow Climate Conference.
Right, financiers in reality are so naughty. Our novel is only 150 trillion dollars, which is already very conservative. According to the exaggeration that the novel is higher than reality, 200 trillion dollars is not too much...)
