Expedition to Europe

Since the first economic crisis broke out in the United Kingdom in 1825, economic crises occurred approximately every ten years before the 20th century.

The reasons for the outbreak of the economic crisis are very complex. One of the main factors is insufficient government intervention in the market.

In fact, in the nearly one hundred years from 1825 to 1920, there was no concept of "government macro-control" in the world. In the economic field, basically all economic behaviors relied on the market itself for regulation. This is true in the 21st century. It seems incredible.

But in the 20th century, liberal economics was the mainstream ideology, and this point has basically reached a consensus in the global economic field.

Old Renault is also well-informed and has a lifelong business career. Since entering the 20th century, Old Renault has personally experienced economic crises three times, namely in 1900, 1907, and 1914 when the world war broke out.

Since he has experienced it personally, the old Renault must still have fresh memories of the economic crisis. Therefore, when the economic crisis is mentioned, the old Renault is still frightened: "The economic crisis will harm society in all aspects. Once the economic crisis breaks out, life will be difficult for Americans. Life will not be easy. If you are not careful at that time, it will be a lose-lose situation.”

Old Renault is still used to relying on his own strength to solve problems, so he has such lamentations. Qin Zhiyuan does not. Qin Zhiyuan has his own views on the economic crisis and his own way of dealing with it: "Since it is a crisis, it must be Danger and opportunity coexist, and economic crises occur regularly. Before the 20th century, it was about once every ten years. In the 20th century, it was about once every seven or eight years. Haven't you discovered anything? "

Qin Zhiyuan was earnest and good at tempting. Old Renault was not stupid, but his thinking was a bit rigid and he did not turn around for a while.

"Time is getting shorter and shorter." Old Renault followed Qin Zhiyuan's intention and suddenly jumped up from his chair: "It's 20 years now, is the economic crisis coming again?"

It's almost the same. If there are no accidents, next year, in 1921, a new economic crisis will come again.

"I didn't let you think about this. What I mean is that the outbreak of the economic crisis is closely related to the progress of productivity. For example, before the 20th century, every time there was a change in productivity, production efficiency would be improved, but at the same time, the development of the consumer market did not If you keep up in time, overproduction will occur, which will lead to an economic crisis. If you are in the manufacturing industry, you should know that in the factory. Machines will be updated approximately every ten years or so, and then production efficiency will increase. Overproduction of products will lead to crises, which will lead to market depression due to poor sales. Then the market will gradually recover with the development of new markets, and then new markets will emerge. A round of machine and product updates... may not be accurate, but that's probably what it should be." Qin Zhiyuan searched his guts to popularize science about the old Renault.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't study economics either, so it was pretty good that he could remember so much.

"That's pretty much it." Old Renault agreed with Qin Zhiyuan.

Of course I agree. What Qin Zhiyuan said is the experience summed up by countless experts in the economic field. If it is applied to the old Renault, it may not be completely consistent, but the general trend will not be wrong.

"Okay, since you agree, then you will find that in the process of organizing production, the change of productivity is not the most important, the market is the most important, so our first stop is to go to the Republic of China." Qin Zhiyuan is in He confessed his purpose in front of old Renault without any concealment.

"The Republic of China, yes, the market of the Republic of China is so important. When I think of a big market of 400 million people waiting for us to develop, I just can't wait." Old Renault showed a little excitement.

Well, rather than saying that the old Renault showed a little excitement, it is better to say that the old Renault is too afraid of the economic crisis. As long as the risk of the economic crisis can be reduced, even if the old Renault is allowed to feed the tiger, it is not out of the question.

"The Republic of China has a huge potential benefit for us. You must know that the current industry of the Republic of China is very poor, and there is almost no industrial base. There is no shortage of smart people in the Republic of China. There will definitely be people who are willing to cooperate with us and obtain technology from us. By then it is estimated that the machines in our factory will need to be updated, and selling them to the Republic of China will be a good choice." Qin Zhiyuan's calculation was shrewd.

"Selling machines" may sound a bit despicable, but the real reality is that many times, more people can't find a temple with a pig's head, and you can't even buy a machine with money.

Selling machines is equivalent to selling technology. The gain and loss are actually worth considering.

"Haha, you're teaching people how to fish, aren't you afraid of teaching the apprentices to starve the master to death?" Old Renault still has the cunningness of a businessman in his heart.

"Starve to death? How is it possible? Even if we sell existing machines to the Republic of China, we will have more advanced machines, and we will definitely have technical advantages. This technical advantage is enough to allow us to take a big step forward and take 10,000 steps back. He said that even if the market in the Republic of China is saturated, there are still Indian markets, African markets, etc. Our products have even entered the American and European markets, so don't worry about the market. As long as we have technical advantages, sales will not be a problem. "Qin Zhiyuan is confident.

Sold to Republic of China machines and transferred to Republic of China technology, it was also to develop the Republic of China market.

In Qin Zhiyuan's impression, the economic model of the Republic of China is more like the self-sufficient model of small peasant economy, that is, even without the intervention of external forces, the Chinese can be self-sufficient, and the economic dependence on foreign countries is not great. If you want to develop the market of the Republic of China, you must destroy the small peasant economy model of the Republic of China. In this regard, if the national forces in the Republic of China are used, the effect will be much better than Lan Fang's bare-handed battle.

"Hey, since you two got on the boat, you have been talking about work. Don't you feel that this is a bit rude?" Julie finally couldn't help coming over and gave Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault each a cup of coffee, and at the same time sent a lady's resentment.

"Haha, sorry, speaking of which, I should go see Ferdinand. He slept a little too long this time." Old Renault avoided the question.

Ferdinand Foch was also on the boat. After all, he was old and his energy was not as good as Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault. Therefore, as soon as he got on the boat, Foch went back to his cabin to rest.

"I woke up a long time ago and went to the bridge with Bastien. I guess I'm discussing with Xie how to use the aircraft carrier." Julie smiled, and the resentment in her words was more obvious.

Well, compared with the economy, the military is even less popular with ladies. Although Julie still has military status strictly speaking, she doesn't like the aircraft carrier currently in service in Lan Fang. It's too ugly.

"Oh my God, look at what you have done to Qin De?" Qin Zhiyuan looked back at Qin De and immediately collapsed.

Because he was going to visit China, Qin De wore a Chinese-style long gown and a small melon-shaped hat on his head, which made Qin Zhiyuan laugh and cry.

"What's wrong? Isn't it cute?" Julie was immediately diverted.

"This is not a Hanfu or a regular dress. Do you want to make the people of the Republic of China laugh at you with such a messy outfit?" Qin Zhiyuan was disgusted when he saw the long gown and a mandarin jacket.

"How could it be? I think it's very cute!" Julie didn't understand.

In Julie's eyes, Qin De looks good in whatever he wears, which is a mother's nature. But in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, the long gown and jacket represent the former Qing Dynasty, which is the eternal pain in the hearts of the Han people.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

Think about it, the emperor of the former Qing Dynasty still lives in the Forbidden City, but the child of King Lan Fang appears in the capital of the Republic of China wearing traditional Manchu costumes. What does this mean? It can be extended to countless possibilities.

"Dear, go and change him, put on the sailor suit that Virginia sent, that suit is very cute." Qin Zhiyuan has his own aesthetic point of view.

"Virginia"'s full name is Virginia Montmorency, Gaspard's daughter.

Gaspard is Qin Zhiyuan's personal housekeeper, and it is natural for Gaspard's daughter to work for Qin Zhiyuan.

Virginia and Julie have a good relationship. At Julie's suggestion, Julie invested and Virginia was responsible for the operation. They founded a children's clothing brand called "Ugly Duckling", which produces all the clothing, toys and daily necessities needed by children.

People of this era did not have the awareness of "intellectual property rights", but after Qin Zhiyuan knew about this, he still sent someone to Denmark to send 500 francs to Andersen's descendants to purchase the right to use the words "Ugly Duckling".

In Qin Zhiyuan's mind, if you want to do something, you must do it to the best, and the same is true for the "Ugly Duckling" brand.

After the birth of the "Ugly Duckling" brand, Qin De, the first heir of the Lan Fang royal family, immediately became the spokesperson for "Ugly Duckling". Almost everything Qin De used was produced by "Ugly Duckling", which also made "Ugly Duckling" well-known to a certain extent. In the current Penglai Island, "Ugly Duckling" already has its own store, and Virginia and Julie are ambitiously preparing to open "Ugly Duckling" all over the world.

Qin Zhiyuan chose the sailor suit for a reason. Now Qin De is on the navy ship. If the first heir of the Lan Fang royal family wears a sailor uniform, he will definitely win the support of the navy. This is also another form of winning over.

Well, Qin De, who is just over half a year old, has to consider the impact of wearing clothes. This is also the sadness of being a member of the royal family.

"That sailor suit is not bad, but An Zhe doesn't seem to like those round stripes. He always wants to tear them off." Julie has no objection.

How to say the sailor suit, some people like it very much, and some people don't like it very much. The stripes on the clothes are undoubtedly one of the most criticized reasons. If the figure is not so standard, wearing a sailor suit really looks like a zebra.

In fact, it's all hypocrisy. A half-year-old child knows nothing!
