Chapter 682: Change
Nowadays, the Internet giants have basically passed the period of rapid development and reached a bottleneck, and the giants that can dominate the Internet field are all more than one trillion yuan in market value, which is measured by the currency of China.
Since two years ago, China's currency has begun to enter a period of rise, which has a huge relationship with the international situation.
Chip display screen and other modern high-tech indispensable items, from materials to the final product, in China has realized the whole industrial chain, and it is also at this time that the United States currency as the unit of settlement has been gradually abandoned.
China no longer needs to import a particular product from the United States, which is the key to the increase in the value of China's currency.
This year, it has been on par with the value of Chen's currency, and the exchange rate with the US dollar has remained at 0.35:1, and the currency has appreciated, which is mostly good news for Chen's large enterprises, but for export-oriented enterprises, the news is not so good.
Many export enterprises have very small profits, and they have relied on cheap markets to gain from them.
Currency appreciation is extremely unfavorable to the exporting countries of industrial products, and a small half of China's economy is exports.
The profit and loss of many enterprises is on the current exchange rate line, and when the currency appreciates, the profits of the enterprises are negative, and they lose money.
When the Americans talk about business, the price is negotiated in advance, settled in US dollars, and a good batch of goods is $100 US dollars, and when the exchange rate is 6:1, the company spends ¥560 on raw materials, and the selling price is $100, and the US dollars cannot be used directly when they arrive, and they exchange it for adult currency in the bank account ¥600, 600560.Net profit of ¥40.
When the exchange rate is suddenly 3:1, the company takes the raw materials or ¥560, the selling price is set at $100 in advance, and the money is converted to ¥300, 300560, and the net loss is ¥260.
Export enterprises make money similar to this model, basically if it is not a unique product, only the characteristics of cheapness, as soon as the local currency appreciates, the export business immediately shrinks and is cut off.
The benefits of the appreciation of the local currency are excellent for ordinary citizens, and the residents of the country will feel too cheap to buy imported daily necessities after the appreciation of the national currency, and they can buy a lot more things for a small amount of money.
With less expenditure for living, more spare money for investment will inevitably push up the price of domestic assets.
For example, the house may continue to appreciate and rise, and the price of the house will rise, and some business owners who originally did export will see that speculating in real estate is so profitable, and it is difficult to do export trading.
As a result, the entire country's economy is hijacked by these things, and there is no capital investment to continuously improve and increase productivity, but capital is idling around unskilled real estate, buying low and selling high.
Then the currency appreciation at this time, because there is no support, is actually an economic chaos, and it will fall back to the prototype after a chicken feather.
However, the country's currency has value, and if most of the country's exports become indispensable, then appreciation is a matter of course.
Just like Chen, the reason for the initial appreciation of the currency is that Chen's rich resources, huge iron-rich ore reserves, and one of the indispensable materials in the construction of the world economy, have led to the appreciation of Chen's currency.
At the highest time, it even reached an exchange rate of about 1:0.5 with the US dollar, and now it is gradually falling, which is too small with the number of high-tech enterprises in Chen Guo, and the economy has been dominated by resource exports, but when the exchange rate with the US dollar slipped to 1:0.3, it rose rapidly, and now it fluctuates at 1:0.4 with the US dollar.
China's currency is also close to this position, for many small and medium-sized enterprises in China, this is not good news, before many Americans came to buy, buy, buy, buy, a large number of American products are printed with madeinchina.
But now that exports are declining, they are likely to remain valuable unless they are competitive products.
For example, the price of Starry Sky's products is still based on the national currency, and the price of the dollar has almost doubled, but the number of sales has not decreased much, but the profit has increased by more than 50%.
Not only the starry sky, many companies with valuable products have obtained excess profits from this round of currency appreciation, but there are also some companies that are not in a good situation, including some well-known companies.
For example, Lianxiang is like Baidu......
Lianxiang used to rely on domestic cheap labor costs, sitting on the first place in the PC field, but now, currency appreciation, Americans used to be unable to buy much better products at the same price, and most of the time the choice at the same price is only Lianxiang.
But now it is different, after the currency appreciation, Lianxiang's products are basically at the same level as other manufacturers, and because of the cost of technology, most of them are even cheaper and more affordable than Lianxiang.
This business may really be going to cool down this time; The same is true for Baidu, the national currency appreciates, but for various reasons, the value of Baidu is constantly shrinking, the higher the value of the national currency, the lower the market value of Baidu.
The main reason for this is that various content providers have invariably begun to block the interfaces provided to Baidu, including platforms such as video, music, literature, etc.
And Baidu's content is really poor, and most of the content made at a large price is a "bad movie", and it may not be long before the capital behind Baidu can't stand it, can't see hope, and chooses to withdraw when it is the key node of Baidu's life and death.
Yang Yi is just waiting for that moment, if the starry sky reveals this idea at this moment, Baidu's stock price will definitely stop falling and rebound, Yang Yi will never give Baidu this opportunity, and with Andy, a financial master, there will naturally be no mistakes.
This time at the entrepreneur conference Lianxiang, in fact, it can be regarded as revenge for Andy, Andy did a good acquisition case for Tan Zongming in Hon Hai, almost to sign an agreement, but was snatched away by Lianxiang, of course, Lianxiang spent a lot of money, has been targeted several times in recent years, before and after the release of Lianxiang's high-end mobile phone, the Internet will always be full of spy photos of new products from the starry sky.
Under various targets, Lianxiang is not dead now, and the foundation is thick enough.
At the end of the entrepreneur conference, Yang Yi called on enterprises to abide by the provisions of the "Labor Law" with employee care, so that employees can have more free time, and then expand their personal knowledge and creativity, and become a boost for the development of enterprises.
Technology is the decisive factor in determining the export of products, as long as your products are irreplaceable, then there is no need to worry about buyers, even if the price is high?
After the Entrepreneur Conference, Yang Yi turned to Sulawesi, and part of the core of the starry sky has gradually moved here, and under strict management measures, although there are many hostile enemies around, it is also very safe here.
High-tech weapons are not born into a population without the popularization of modern scientific knowledge can understand, most of the Indonesians who have been caught in the war for many years have not had the opportunity to learn, and their fate is naturally uncontrollable.
It's like a piece of land as big as Sulawesi, if you say it's sold, it's sold, and no one will take into account the opinions of the populations that have lived in Sulawesi for hundreds of years.
Vina is a native girl born in Sulawesi who is now just coming of age, and in recent years, she has seen a series of drastic changes in the environment in which she grew up, and she has also been given the opportunity to study.
Everyone has to study, the starry sky is in the tentative regulations of Sulawesi, education is a must for every citizen of Sulawesi, and now Sulawesi has a rationing system, and if you don't receive education, you won't have anything to eat, which is the most effective way.
According to the provisional regulations, Sulawesi citizens must obtain a certificate of completion of higher education before they can freely choose their life, and before obtaining a certificate, they are only subject to the regulation of life, study military training, and of course, have weekly holidays.
For the inhabitants of Sulawesi at a time of great change in the world, there are unfortunate and fortunate people, and there are rich local farmers, ranchers, and plantation owners in the past, most of whom are unwilling to be suddenly encroached upon, and there is no compensation, and many of them are the inheritance accumulated over hundreds of years.
Some of these people resisted, and many of them died, but most of them were forcibly relocated to other islands in Indonesia.
The demolition of millions of people may be the biggest operation of the new century, and it is even more aggressive than the surprise attack of the US military on Iraq at the beginning of the new century.
Since that time, the national power of the United States has gradually declined, and that war, like the war between Britain and Argentina in the Malvinas Islands, was the last glory of Britain.
Today's Britain, let alone aircraft carriers, does not even have many warships; And the number of US fleets is also sharply reduced, the new aircraft carrier launched is five years ago, and there has been no news about the latest aircraft carrier.
The United States may never have the same glory as it used to be, the rise of China, Southeast Asia, the place of confrontation, will gradually end with a full-scale withdrawal of the United States, and where is next?
Vina doesn't know this, she only knows that many of her friends don't know where they went, it is said that on another island across the sea, fortunately Vina's family is only the original middle-class family in Sulawesi, which ensures that she has received a certain education, and also ensures that her family has not suffered too much loss in the midst of change.
After gradually getting used to it, she fell in love with today's life, without the previous attachment to the family, and now they have become independent individuals, although the family is still there, but it does not affect the individual's life.
She is only 16 years old, she doesn't know what her future will be, she just wants to graduate from high school as soon as possible and go to the university life that her classmates yearn for.
If you say that what Vina has learned in the past few years of study, the most important thing is to open her eyes to the world.
More than 100 years ago, the Moscow Cathedral, the coronation of the tsar, the national anthems of various countries, Li Hongzhang embarrassed to get up, sang a hometown Lu opera, that year he was 74 years old, after bidding farewell to Russia, he went to Europe and the United States, fell into a dream composed of giant ships and train skyscrapers.
The dream is like a nightmare, and Master Li, wearing a yellow vest, sits on the streets of London in a daze, like an abandoned child who has missed the bus.
The nineteenth century has come to an end in a hurry, the twentieth century is thundering, and the steam behemoth is breathing savagely, but the ancient kingdoms of the East are like ashes buried in time.
Li Hongzhang had foreseen this, as early as 30 years ago, when he was in middle age, he once played a song, calling the encounter between the East and the West "a great change unseen in 3,000 years."
At that time, the east and the west were still separated by the vast angry sea, and under the roaring waves, there was a gap in science and technology and a convection of culture.
The waves roared for more than half a century, and the people on both sides of the sea were strangers to each other.
Later, the Chinese people opened their eyes, looked at the world, and then began to catch up, sacrificing the happiness of two generations to create today's China.
And if the Sulawesians had not woken up and had not been awakened, when would this time be?
Now they don't have to sacrifice the happiness of one or two generations, they have the best chance of encountering, and in the blink of an eye, they find that their lives have changed unexpectedly.
Most of them don't know what the space elevator is, but they only know that their living environment is changing every year, from the simple house in the first year to the resettlement house in the second year, and then to the personal apartment today, and the living conditions are getting better and better year by year.
Nowadays, there are quite a few people who have passed higher education, the total number has exceeded 100,000, and the total number of Sulawesi natives is now just over 3 million, and these 100,000 people who have passed higher education have been diverted one by one to work in various professions.
One of the most stringent astronauts is already working on the International Space Station (SCO).
Vena still remembers that the school broadcast the live news in real time at that time, and she was slightly proud in her heart when she remembered it, and looked at the road ahead, a little unfamiliar, when the college entrance examination was approaching, she only returned to her personal apartment once a month.
The environment of the school is also very good, she likes the school a little more now, and now there are new changes in the city every day, all kinds of construction machinery come and go, the location of the apartment assigned by Vina is not very good, I remember that the last time I came back, there were still various buildings around.
Overpass underpass park and so on, it's only been a month, and the surroundings are different, not at all as busy as last month, but a look that surprised her, as if seen on TV, those scenes in big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
a small park on the corner where someone is walking; Vehicles passing through the intersection in an orderly manner; Pedestrians boarded the overpass with an elevator, and a faint singing could be heard in the underpass.
Vina walked to the underground passage and found that it was very spacious, and most of the small shops operated outside the country were snacks, but in this underground environment, it was not dark at all.
Around the pillars sat young people, some holding musical instruments and singing something.
……
Since the SCO cooperation meeting, the space elevator project has officially begun, and countries with resources and capabilities have shared the corresponding projects, and countries have also organized corresponding scientific research teams to jointly tackle certain problems.
Starry Sky came up with a package of plans, which was basically not refuted, the chief engineer of this project is Yang Yi, and now she is back in Sulawesi to clean up some of the space junk in the early stage.
