I want to be a warlord

Chapter 365

No matter how much I believe what Wang Zhen said, these gang owners who are doing business in Iraq will not really start to reduce their stockpiles without investigating at all.

None of these people has a low net worth. Each of them is worth tens of millions, and they are all calculated in US dollars.

After all, we are doing business abroad, so it is inconvenient to use soft currency.

After I went back and analyzed it with my close friends and subordinates, everyone thought it was better to ask experts.

Although the word expert has become a derogatory term in today's Internet, it mostly refers to the kind of people who like to show off in the outside world and do not do their job properly. Those who really do academic work in universities and research institutes have no problem with their level. of.

What's more, this is a private question, and it is a foreign matter. You are paid to do things, so there is no need to say something 'nice' against your conscience.

As soon as the video started, Song Yuwu, Bao Zhongping, Nie Huixiong, Dai Jiaqiang and others were sitting in a row, opposite an old professor of finance and economics.

"Here in Iraq, terrorists bombed a river like Huayuankou some time ago. Now downstream..."

After briefly explaining the matter, the old professor opposite asked some key questions.

After pondering for a long time, the old professor said: "There is no specific data. We can only judge based on the superficial situation. What I said may not be correct. You are real front-line workers and have more practical experience. You will have to adapt to changes when the time comes to prevent consequences. huge loss."

"You're too polite, old gentleman. Just say it, whether it's right or wrong, it's our own problem." Song Yuwu knew the other person's worries and directly gave him reassurance.

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you, and you can just listen to it." The old professor smiled and said, "According to the current situation, in fact, an economic crisis may not necessarily occur."

Everyone suddenly became energetic.

"For example, in 98, the Asian economic crisis affected all countries around the world and caused heavy losses. Even when the world was in chaos, we had no problems at home. Instead, our economic growth reached a higher level, relying on state regulation. .”

"The economy had a soft landing. At that time, a large amount of money had nowhere to go. Inflation has already occurred and exports have also declined due to the economic crisis. But as for us, we have begun to engage in real estate and infrastructure construction, using real estate and infrastructure to stimulate the national economy. development, not only weathered the economic crisis, but also greatly improved people's housing standards and related infrastructure, laying a good foundation for economic take-off in the new century."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that the government has the ability to conduct comprehensive macro-control of the market and that there are no problems with the policy."

Everyone felt discouraged after hearing this. In fact, everyone still hopes that the Iraqi economy will develop in a good direction. After all, if the economy is not good, their business will also be affected.

"The Iraqi government..." Bao Zhongping shook his head with a wry smile, "If they have some ability, they won't have no ability at all."

"That won't work. When a crisis occurs in the market economy, if there is no strong government intervention, its collapse will be faster than imagined. At that time, everyone is thinking about running away."

Things have become obvious at this point, and the expert opinion is to 'jump the gun'!
In fact, not only did Song Yuwu and the others find people, but others also found experts in their network, and they all came to the same conclusion, so what else could there be to say.

……

The market sometimes reacts extremely slowly, sometimes it reacts extremely quickly and is completely unpredictable.

And now... In just a few days, the market in Baghdad has reacted.

Foreign trade business generally has a long cycle. After all, it has to go through ordering, production, customs clearance, shipping, clearing, transportation, transit, warehousing, etc. From start to finish, it takes several months.

If you say you want to reduce the amount of stock in the future, you have to clean it up from now on. So, the first thing is the Baghdad market. A large number of daily necessities, from clothing, shoes and hats to kitchen supplies, from home decoration boards to toys, suddenly the wholesalers started to cut prices. Shipped.

At first, everyone didn’t think that wholesalers were talking about problems with capital turnover, something happened at home or in the factory, stocks suddenly fell, and they were preparing for retirement...

Anyway, the reasons are all kinds of, including divorce.

If you don't take advantage of this kind of advantage, wouldn't you be sorry for your status as a businessman?
But as time went by, everyone discovered that there was not one problem, not two, not three...

Why are all the Chinese businessmen selling their goods collectively?

At this moment, panic suddenly came up.

The previous debate about crisis factions and conservatives has directly come to an end and is over!

Everyone’s first reaction is to cover the lid!
The market must not collapse now, and we must not let the losses fall on ourselves!

Various chambers of commerce, various groups, and various families began to communicate on a large scale. In fact, this kind of problem always happens once every few years on average. Everyone has experience in dealing with it, and soon all parties reached an agreement and speculated. !
What is 'fried'?
It is to artificially create a shortage of supply, and then use rumors...ah, it is coordinated by propaganda, triggering a panic buying wave among the people, and passing on their losses to the people at the bottom.

What is the bottom layer?

This is fucking called the bottom!

Just like a tall building, some people live on top, some live in the middle, and some live on the bottom.

Everyone produces garbage and wastewater when they are alive, and they have to be poured down. The garbage and wastewater will flow downward and eventually accumulate at the bottom.

This is called the rise of clear air and the descent of turbid air.

To give an example: On September 9, Tianjin, purchase restrictions will be lifted in the six non-city districts.

The next day, the number of local second-hand houses sold at reduced prices suddenly doubled from 2783 units the previous day to 5858 units.

This proves that there are plenty of houses!

However, too many houses appear on the market for people to purchase, which will definitely not bring buyers the joy of buying the house they like, but will cause panic among buyers. With so many houses, does that mean they are not valuable at all?

Therefore, real estate agencies will carry out a certain degree of 'control'. Only one or two sets of identical houses will be released. This artificially creates a tight supply of houses and waits for one or two sets to be sold before releasing similar houses in the same community. Release the source.The same goes for real estate developers, who will not release all the houses at once.

It's like the 'last item' from a street stall. It's been sold for so many years, but it's still the last item!
Moreover, real estate has its own special characteristics. If a house is released little by little, the price can also be increased. It was sold for 15000 last month and 16000 next month.

Is this a price increase?
Houses are always bought when they go up, not when they go down!

As for the real situation?

The time from the time you purchase a house with a loan to the time it can be traded normally is calculated in years, so there is no need to worry about this 'price increase' trick being exposed.

One problem can be found in most cities: new houses are more expensive than second-hand houses.

why……

If you buy a second-hand house, you will find that when you buy it, the agent will tell you that there are too few houses, and when you sell it, the agent will tell you that it cannot be sold at this price...

Poor information!
Closer to home.

Baghdad was the fastest place for rumors to appear. Ace was going to launch a full-scale attack on Baghdad. To this end, it was necessary to cut off the railway lines and highway lines leading to Baghdad. For a long time to come, all kinds of daily necessities would not be transported in.

It is simple, clear and clear, which is very consistent with the public's impression of Ais and the Baghdad government.

Did Asis achieve the siege of Baghdad?

Semi-encirclement is also encirclement!

Is the Baghdad government incompetent?

There is no doubt about that!
Moreover, Ace can keep clamoring to attack Baghdad.

Therefore, the rush to buy happened as a matter of course, and the market suddenly became more prosperous than ever before.

From grains, oils, rice and noodles to clothing, shoes and hats, there is no shortage of things to buy.

Even the arms market has become extremely prosperous.

After all, once Ace begins an attack, no one expects the government troops to be able to resist it.

So how to protect yourself?

Of course it's buying a gun and bullets.

After all, if my neighbor collects grain and I collect guns, my neighbor becomes my granary!
It's so simple!

The panic buying started in Baghdad and then quickly spread to the middle and lower reaches. Although the pipeline project has been basically completed and the domestic water problems in major cities have been basically solved, commercial water use is still difficult.

What's more, terrorist activities in the middle and lower reaches are becoming more and more rampant, and everyone feels that a fight may break out at any time.

Once a war breaks out, the problem of material circulation will become difficult. If you don't rush to buy now, won't you have nothing to eat or use when you wait for the price to rise?
As panic buying began in the middle and lower reaches, the rush began to spread towards the northern and eastern areas and other prosperous areas that were not occupied by Ace.

There is nothing wrong with the rumors. Once Baghdad is occupied or completely surrounded, it will be almost equivalent to Iraq losing its government. Warlords everywhere are already doing their own thing, and it will only get worse by then.

You block me, I block you, isn't it natural that there will be a shortage of supplies?

Who doesn't know that what they are using now are all Chinese goods, and if things can't be shipped in, there will be a shortage.

In just one week, the panic buying wave swept across Iraq, including the occupied area of ​​​​Ais, where supplies were even scarcer.

……

"Good fellow, I'm so good!" Wang Zhen looked at the reports sent from various places and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why did this economic crisis suddenly come?"

"There is no sign at all!"

"Rumors and such are so abominable!"

Jin Mao and others looked at Wang Zhen with disdain. Who the hell started the rumor in the first place? Don’t you have a clue?
shameless!

Natalia looked at Wang Zhen angrily, "Look at the mess you made. Now the big market has become depressed!"

"Ah?" Wang Zhen blinked, looking innocent, "Why did it affect the big market?"

"Nonsense, Chinese businessmen are afraid of the spread of the economic crisis and have begun to reduce future imports. In the short term, supplies are being snapped up, resulting in insufficient supply. Without goods, how can the market not be depressed?"

Wang Zhen laughed, "I'm doing this for the good of the Iraqi people."

"How the hell can you quibble about this?" Donkey's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Is this called sophistry?" Wang Zhen suddenly became furious.
