Chapter 379 Food shortage
Wang Qiang, who graduated from the first grade of elementary school, felt good about himself and immediately discovered the problem: "Since the US economic crisis in 1929 was caused by 'money', then the unlimited printing of money in the United States later was 'money'?"
Su Su said angrily: "This question is, Fat Tiger can answer you when playing house - my things are my things, and your things are also mine! Basically, it's still goods = coins, is there any problem?"
Wang Qiang was so amused and laughed: "Damn it! My brother didn't think so!"
Su Su smiled and said, "So, the principle of unlimited printing of money is very simple. Just have a hard fist, and children all know it."
Wang Qiang browed: "But now the United States can't harden its fists in front of China, so unlimited printing of money is not working."
Su Su nodded: "Yes, China used to be very obedient. The United States recognized it no matter how much paper it printed, and it also took the opportunity to store a huge amount of US dollars as a financial weapon. But it was different after 2008. At that time, Guanhai was saying in the news that "the United States can lead the world for 50 years", while finding Brother Tao, and wanted to play a game where G2 equally divide the earth, that is, the United States continues to be the boss and China becomes the old 2, but all the goods exported by China must be settled in US dollars."
Wang Qiang browed: "It's the same as those Saudi Arabia's Middle East countries must settle oil in US dollars?"
Su Su smiled and said, "Yes, but this time Brother Tao directly overturned the table and went to the G2 of the damn... In fact, from this time on, the life of the US dollar has been in China's hands. If you want to blame, the United States cannot scare China with its fists, nor can it be able to make the huge amount of foreign exchange in China's hands by trade. So now it is a new topic. When infinite money printing is not easy to use and becomes a currency, how many more money the United States prints will expand and collapse?"
Wang Qiang coughed dryly: "Tell me directly!"
Su Su smiled and said, "Often the 20% more print, it will collapse. This is also the reason why the United States printed 700 billion more dollars after 2008, which made the whole world scream. Because at that time, players holding US dollar and US debt will feel panic and will throw out the US debt in their hands, which will form an avalanche effect."
Wang Qiang understood: "The 700 billion US dollars is so scary. The trillion US dollars in China are really financial nuclear weapons."
Su Su said seriously: "Now we don't talk about the US dollar that is linked to oil, but we just talk about the RMB that is linked to goods and grain. This issue involves the weakness of the RMB. Brother Qiang knows what a grain gap is?"
Wang Qiang said in surprise: "It's just that there is not enough food?"
Susu nodded: "Let me give an example, please listen to the question - if grain costs 1 yuan per pound, it can supply 10,000 people in a certain area, but there are 11,000 people in this area, that is, there are 1,000 people who cannot supply it, how much will the price of grain increase?"
Wang Qiang was stunned: "Is this a primary school mathematics problem?"
Su Su laughed and said, "Brother Qiang can also be a brain teaser. Anyway, people always think of it."
Wang Qiang frowned and said, "There are 10% of people who cannot supply it... This one, the price has increased by more than 10%?"
Su Su laughed: "It's okay not to increase!"
Wang Qiang exclaimed: "Brain teasers? Could it be that you can kill that many 1,000 people?"
Su Su laughed: "Brother Qiang, your idea is really a prehistoric era. You can't be wrong. Human beings have been doing this for millions of years since evolution, but it has only begun to become civilized in recent hundreds of years."
Wang Qiang changed his mind: "You can also plan the distribution! During the Soviet Patriotic War, you can just mix various wood chips and brans into the bread and spread them."
Su Su clapped and laughed: "Congratulations to Brother Qiang! I came up with another good idea!"
Wang Qiang was also very excited: "Brother's IQ occupied the bird of highland!"
Su Su smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease Brother Qiang anymore. If it's market competition--"
Su Su's face darkened: "Then the food price will theoretically rise to infinite! Because the one thousand people with the gap will never be willing to starve to death. They will continue to push up the price until someone has exhausted their property and can no longer compete to get out!"
Wang Qiang was frightened: "This is the same as buying artifacts for rankings in the game!"
Susu nodded: "That's right! For several major international capital groups that control grain, deliberately creating a food shortage is their usual method. So for China, focusing on the three rural issues is the top priority. China has more than one billion people, and as long as a grain shortage of 10 million people is generated, it will cause a shock to grain prices. Therefore, China actually doesn't care about gold and foreign exchange, but only cares about whether food production is reduced in natural disasters. So Brother Qiang-"
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I understand the truth that children all know."
