Niu Ru was thinking about what Xiao Qi said, but he still felt that it was a bit too exaggerated.
But if those second-tier countries in Europe are really living their lives as Xiao Qi said, then the Eurozone is really in trouble this time.
However, what Niu Ruzheng is thinking more about is not these countries and the Eurozone, but what kind of impact such a huge change will have on China.
"Tell me, what will happen if things are as you expected?" Niu Ruzheng asked immediately as there was a genius with international vision in front of him.
"I think Europe's economy will be hit hard, and even those countries that are not in this situation will be affected, thus affecting their own economic development." Xiao Qidao, "In this way, Europe's imports from China will be affected.
It will be greatly reduced, and our exports of small commodities and OEM products will be hit hard again."
Niu Ruzheng slightly tilted his head.
The population of developed European countries is about 1 billion, and their number one importer of daily necessities is China. Once this market falls into trouble, the effect will be greater than that of the United States. China has finally been able to slow down.
I'm afraid a lot of small and medium-sized export companies that have such a bad tone will go bankrupt.
"So what kind of preparations can we make?" Niu Ruzheng asked again.
It's not that he pinned his hopes on Xiao Qi. It's not that exaggerated for a young man to bear the fate of a superpower.
But as the saying goes, "Listen to both and you will understand. Many of Xiao Qi's ideas are original and can be used as a good supplement."
Xiao Qidao: "At the domestic level, I am not as proficient as Uncle Niu and you, and I don't understand either. But I feel that the plan to stimulate domestic demand must not be launched. In the past six months or so, high-pollution and high-energy-consuming industries have been banned.
We have achieved good results in shutting down low-production-efficiency enterprises and integrating steel, shipbuilding, heavy industry, construction and other industries, and we must not fail at this time."
Niu Ruzheng agreed with Xiao Qi's statement, "Don't worry, Boss Bian and No. 1 have already reached a consensus on this matter. Instead of dragging it out like this, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily relieve the pain and cut off all the unnecessary ones.
It’s also to lay a solid foundation for better development in the future!”
At this point, he smiled again, "What's more, the PM2.5 environmental problem caused by you and Vice President Yu has already attracted great attention from people in most parts of the country, especially the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which is the most polluted. Those
It doesn't matter if officials don't follow the central government's path, the people below will make trouble."
Xiao Qi chuckled.
In addition to this auxiliary means, Niu Ruzheng did not say that the policies that Xiao Qi and he devised a few years in advance to guide the healthy development of real estate put a tight curse on real estate early, making it impossible for it to turn around.
It is also the efforts of the past few years that have allowed the people above to see the results and the public's praise and support. Therefore, during this severe economic test, even if some people proposed to loosen restrictions on real estate, they did not receive much support.
"Internationally, I think this crisis is a big test for us, but it is also a good opportunity." After thinking about it, Xiao Qi said seriously: "Neither the United States nor Europe is a good thing. We, China, want to be in power.
We have to step on their shoulders. And now China’s voice in the international arena is not as good as the two of them. So if we can provoke them to fight, then it will be good for us to reap the benefits."
"Provocation?" Niu Ruzheng frowned, "The subprime mortgage crisis has not only affected Europe, but also China, Japan, and South Korea. They are all the same. How can Europe and the United States start fighting?"
He didn't mention what Xiao Qi said about the relationship between China, the United States, and Europe. The competition is real. This is something everyone knows. However, as the vice president of the government, of course he can't say these things.
Speak up and just look at the results of your work.
"Uncle Niu, as I said just now, in order to join the EU, some second-tier countries turned to investment banks such as Goldman Sachs in the United States to make their accounts look good, so the EU agreed to their joining.
"Xiao Qi said eloquently, "But just because the accounts look good on the surface, it doesn't mean that there are no problems with their accounts. It's just that they have used some small tricks, which will definitely be exposed when they should be exposed. This matter is not only
Only these small countries know it, but investment banks like Goldman Sachs, which handle it personally, know it even better!"
Niu Ruzheng's eyes lit up, and he obviously thought of some of the connections.
Xiao Qi continued: "For example, Goldman Sachs produced beautiful financial statements for Greece and lent a sum of money to Greece. Then it packaged the country's sovereign debt into financial products and sold it to Deutsche Commerz.
Bank. This is the famous DS, commonly known as credit default swap insurance.
If the Greek national debt does not default, then the banks will continue to receive high annual premiums from Goldman Sachs and earn a lot of money. But on the other hand, if the Greek national debt defaults, the DS index will be raised, and the banks will be responsible for paying the shortfall.
The more parts there are, and conversely, Goldman Sachs, who sells this DS contract, can earn more profits from it.
Deutsche Bank has indeed made a lot of money in the past few years, which makes them think that the DS in their hands is a good asset. But they ignore that Goldman Sachs is not a philanthropist. They eat people without spitting them out.
A tiger with bones! For the high premiums it has given in the past few years, once the debt crisis in Greece breaks out, Deutsche Bank will spit out all the profits!"
"Why are you so sure that Greece's debt crisis will break out?" Niu Ruzheng said.
"I'm just giving an example, but the Greek debt crisis may indeed be one of the first to break out." Xiao Qi replied, "I know Greece specifically. When the economic environment is not good, Greece
It would be strange for a country like this that loves to eat and is lazy to work, not to be unlucky. Let me give you an example. Their ordinary staff usually get up at 9 o'clock and have breakfast at 10 o'clock. They have lunch at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and start their lunch break at 4 o'clock. Then they get off work at night.
I just went to play around, had dinner at 10 o'clock, and rested at 12 o'clock... Uncle Niu, tell me, if they are not unlucky in such a country with such a way of life and work, is it the hard-working workers of our country who are unlucky?"
Niu Ruzheng burst out laughing. He knew that many Western European countries were very lazy, but he did not expect that the way of life and work in Greece was like this.
"Except for Greece, developed countries in Western Europe have developed welfare systems, so Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. are all in a similar situation to Greece. They also have serious problems with sovereign debt." Xiao Qidao: "Once it happens,
If these countries have a sovereign debt crisis, they are not the only ones who are unlucky. Britain, France and Germany will also be unlucky. Because the EU only has an access mechanism and no exit mechanism, there is no way to drive these guys out. In this case, in order to safeguard the entire EU
To maintain the stability of the Eurozone, Britain, France and Germany can only lend them money to help them survive the crisis.
But the problem is definitely not as simple as these people think. The economy and finance of these lazy countries have long been rotten to the core, and they have long been calculated by American investment banks. As long as Britain, France and Germany step into this quagmire, they will not be destroyed.
You will never be able to stabilize the situation if you drag yourself down. If you want to save countries like these, it will take at least five or ten years of hard work."
"I understand." Niu Ruzheng said thoughtfully, "Since the Americans are fueling the flames, can we reveal this information to Greece and other countries in advance, so that they can prepare in advance, and at the same time
It will increase their hatred of the United States and drive a wedge between the EU and the United States."
"If you want to tell us, don't worry about countries like Greece and Italy. They are of no use at all." Xiao Qi said very rudely, "Just tell France and Britain directly! France has a good relationship with us, and Britain is a famous troublemaker.
, they can make things even bigger."
No wonder Xiao Qi said it cruelly. Countries such as Italy and Spain often bullied China when they were strong.
Moreover, there is basically no relationship between countries. If you want to be strong, you must learn from Qin.
Xiao Qi didn't tell Germany, but Niu Ruzheng smiled knowingly.
It's no secret that Xiao Qi is very cold towards Germans. The German ambassador and the strong woman have mentioned this matter in private many times. They hope that the Chinese government can have a good talk with Xiao Qi. Germany welcomes it.
People from Fairy Company have respect for Fairy Company and expect to get along with each other in a friendly manner instead of tit for tat.
But Xiao Qi never paid attention to what others said, and still implemented a special high-price policy towards Germany. He also repeatedly criticized Germany's various tax policies for foreign companies together with Qiao Gangzhu, Li Jianxi, and Ellison, which made the German government very unhappy.
face.
"Why didn't I say Germany?" Xiao Qi explained seriously: "An overly powerful Germany is not in the interests of China. This time we not only want to provoke the EU and the United States to fight, but also weaken the EU.
.Germany, a powerful country based on its real economy and industry, would have been very difficult if we had not been dragged down by the EU this time."
Niu Ruzheng actually agreed with Xiao Qi's theory.
The Germans are notoriously not good at financial activities. What they like most is to work hard, study their own technology, and develop heavy industry and light industry. Their industrial products are definitely among the best in the world.
Faced with such a country, not even the United States can use financial means to bring them down, let alone China.
It seems that being able to seize good opportunities is indeed the way for a country to develop! (To be continued...)
