Chapter 45 The Damn Economy
Chapter 45
The economic crisis caused by Laomei is raging all over the world. If it is not impossible to beat Laomei, Laomei will definitely be beaten by the crowd now.
This economic crisis is really weird, and the central banks of all countries are helpless.
Generally speaking, for a crisis caused by inflation, you only need to tighten money. In the crisis caused by deflation, you only need to release liquidity to solve the problem.
This time is different. Inflation and deflation will directly put the central banks of various countries on fire.
You can only choose to deal with this kind of paradoxical crisis, and the Fed obviously intends to solve the problem of inflation first.
To a certain extent, this is actually a kind of shock therapy. If it is handled well, it may be the phoenix nirvana. If it is not handled well, everyone should prepare for war. This is the last way to stimulate the economy. It is best not to use it unless it is a last resort.
The old Americans are really ashamed to depreciate the US dollar again. The current inflation is caused by their withdrawal from the Bretton system. The US dollar has already depreciated significantly. If you do it again, it is estimated that allies will be alienated.
This decision is not easy to make. The economy is already very bad. If money is tightened again, a large number of enterprises and farmers will go bankrupt. It is a dream for a donkey to be re-elected. Everyone will choose to vote with their feet.
In this economic environment, it is still king to reduce big moves and make money secretly.
William White is already very hated, you made a profit of over 100 million so easily, how can you embarrass other people. This year's Hollywood giants, almost everyone loses money, it's better to keep a low profile.
Toronto is not so hot, and it is still very comfortable in the morning and evening. Since it is a luxurious version of Home Alone, the props should not be too simple.
The two unlucky robbers are indeed weird looking, which makes people have the urge to beat people at any time. These two hit the street are also lucky, the salary of 200,000 US dollars is very generous.
The most important thing in this movie is actually the children. Some people are really born actors. For example, this kid today has a pair of big eyes that are very agile.
With such a live treasure in the crew, it is impossible not to be lively, and William White doesn't care, and he is very conniving at his mischief.
Sometimes he thought, this kid will definitely be beaten when he gets home, and he has never seen such a naughty kid.
Thanks to an experience, the shooting was smoother this time. Now it's not a photographer hired outside, so the arrangement is naturally more obedient.
The economy of the United States is in shock, and the number of unemployed people is already terrible. Factories close down almost every day, and farmers who have lost their land abound.
It's not right to say that it's all bad. The semiconductor industry is developing very well, and the stock price even has some gains.
For this situation, William White did not know how to evaluate it. Lao Mei's luck is really against the sky. On the surface, it looks very bad, and the economy seems to have the possibility of negative growth.
This GDP really can’t grow negatively. It’s not a big problem if you increase it a little bit, but negative growth will cause big problems. Don't forget that after deducting the increase in inflation, the economy is retreating sharply.
From the perspective of future generations, this economic crisis in the United States is simply too good. It wiped out all backward industries at once, at least a large part of them.
Without this crisis, backward production capacity cannot be eliminated. If you close the factory at this time, the guild will have nothing to do. It’s not that the boss doesn’t want to run the business anymore, it’s just that it’s too late to continue the game. No matter how much you argue, it’s useless. The boss is bankrupt, so it’s useless for you to do whatever you want.
"Master, there are several farms in the surrounding area that are willing to sell." Uncle Fu also had a serious expression on his face.
"If they really want to sell, we just buy it, and the price is about the same, and there is no need to over-press the price."
"Okay, young master, that's all we can do, we can't do anything else."
"Well, agricultural products are not easy to sell, let's increase the grape growing area."
"Master, this year's wine won't be easy to sell, our inventory is already huge." Uncle Fu still looked worried.
"It's okay, it will pass sooner or later, and the red wine won't go bad."
Fu Bo didn't raise any doubts about his young master's judgment. After all, there are many successful cases. Besides, these wines are really nothing, they are all brewed by themselves, and the cost is just that.
Selling the farm to William White, they still retain the opportunity to start over. If they are taken away by those banks, they are probably finished.
White Farm doesn't make money either, and may still lose money this year, but William White doesn't care about these profits. When the economic situation improves, these lands won't be so cheap.
The location here is good after all, and it is very close to Houston. As long as the economic situation improves, these investments will come back.
Anyway, he is not short of money now, and office software is selling very well. According to this trend, the valuation next year will definitely not be low.
Next year is also the election year in the United States, and everyone will work hard to promote this new industry.
Except for the high-tech industry, other industries are laying off employees. Regarding this situation, everyone is helpless and can only wait for the darkness to leave as soon as possible.
There are exceptions, of course. The life of the foot basin is very good. The export and domestic economy are good. This is what makes Laomei resentful. The rise of this little brother is too fast, and it must be suppressed.
Big Blue still intends to test the attitude of White Software. Even if the acquisition fails, it still hopes to purchase some shares.
William White was also very hesitant about the giant blue's temptation. He wanted better cooperation. Obviously he couldn't refuse this olive branch, but he had to keep a certain distance. If he was swallowed by them, it would be very sad at that time.
"Tom, in the A round next year, I can give them 5% of the shares. I don't want cash, and they can exchange for shares."
"Okay, boss, I'll reply to them."
With William White's statement, Big Blue can't say anything dissatisfied. They are so big, of course they won't take too many shares, otherwise it is not a cooperation, it is an acquisition.
William White knew that they might be just a test, and they might not cooperate with him in the end. They hoped to move forward in a low-key manner, and absolutely did not want to attract the attention of the outside world.
It's quite nonsense when you think about it. It seems really embarrassing to engage in microcomputers. The Big Blue is also sneaky. William White can't figure it out. Is this thing really so bad?
The growth rate of CPU is almost a geometric multiple. Now these inconspicuous garbage are definitely cutting-edge technology ten years ago. Now the mainframe with a shiny cross will be a pile of garbage ten years later.
This thing is really funny, where is Silicon Valley?
How can there be such a conservative group of people, and the immediate interests really make these people confused?
In addition to Big Blue and HP, there is also Xerox, which are all enterprising companies, but now they are all dead.
This is the case in the United States. As long as you have something to do with capital, you'd better give up your dreams, because the price of that thing is too high, and shareholders won't like it.
