Chapter 1473 The Fortress on the Beach (Second update, please subscribe)
After transforming into a pesticide sprayer, he sprayed a circle of DDT in the community, and then made his voice clear through a TV camera. After that, Li Yian ended his day's trip and returned to his official residence.
On the way back to the official residence, the motorcade was speeding along Suzaku Avenue.
When the car is driving, Li Yian always looks to the roadside.
At this time, what he saw was not the prosperity of the city, but the passers-by on the street.
Today is the weekend, the sidewalks are full of pedestrians, and most of them are teenagers.
Looking at the young people on the roadside, there are more and more young people in Chang'an now. This is the biggest advantage of this place. In the past nineteen years, more than 70 million people have been born!
This kind of population advantage is unmatched by any other country.
Looking at those energetic teenagers, Li Yian couldn't help but said:
"Zheyuan, look at them, they are full of vitality... full of vitality!"
Your Excellency's words made Zhang Zheyuan nod in agreement:
"Yes, Your Excellency, this is the spirit that young people should have! With them, we have hope for the future."
"They have the spirit that young people should have, and they are also our hope. However, if there is a deviation,..."
The words paused for a moment, and then Li Yian said:
"Their vitality will be worn away by reality bit by bit, and eventually, they will become sluggish, and then they will not want to work hard, struggle, or even struggle at all."
The reason why I have such emotion is because I have also had such a mental journey.
"Your Excellency, this, how could this happen!"
Zhang Zheyuan thought this was impossible and said:
"Even a salted fish wants to stand up, let alone a human being? This is impossible."
Obviously he didn't believe that such a thing would happen, after all, it had never happened in thousands of years.
"How could it be impossible?"
Li Yian shook his head and said:
"This..."
Facing Your Excellency's rhetorical question, Zhang Zheyuan fell silent. After a while, he said:
"This should not happen, because our constantly improving systems and laws are designed to avoid this possibility."
Indeed, from the very beginning when the structure was set up here, every effort was made to avoid similar things happening.
But what if it can really be avoided completely?
But Li Yian, who once wandered around trying to lie down but couldn't, knew very well why he lay down, which was visible to the naked eye... there was no hope!
With that income, he could never afford to buy a house. Even with the help of his parents, he paid the down payment and overdrawn his income for the next thirty years, living like a cow and a horse.
In fact, at that time, he was envious of people who were lying flat. Those who had no money chose to lie flat. They put down their worldly gaze, and those who were rich chose to lie flat because they had the capital.
Thinking about this problem, Li Yian said:
"So, this is what I often say - what we are committed to creating is a society where everyone can realize their dreams!"
I don’t know since when, this has become a basic value of this land. has become people's consensus.
Everyone can achieve their dreams!
What is this dream?
Some people will look up at the stars, imagine the future, and move towards the frontier, while some people will keep their feet on the ground and focus on the life in front of them.
In fact, this is the normal state of people's lives. After all, people's pursuits are different, and the things they focus on are also different.
Even if they just lie down, that is their pursuit.
As far as society is concerned, social wealth will only lie flat if there is surplus. It is neither possible nor possible to lie down without having enough food. But what's most important?
We still have to make a bigger cake plate. Only in this way can the new generation of young people obtain wealth and rewards commensurate with their efforts.
Only in this way will they not choose to lie down for various reasons.
"The core of all this is to make the economic cake bigger. Only in this way can the problem be solved fundamentally. As long as the economy is good and the cake is big, it can be distributed to everyone. ..."
How to make a big cake?
Listening to your words, Zhang Zheyuan said from the side:
"Your Excellency, our exports hit a new high last year, and I believe our exports will increase further today. After all, in electronic products, household appliances, and even automobile products, our product advantages are still very large, even if it is clothing. , shoes, hats and other daily consumer goods. As the income level of people in Europe and the United States increases, our products are still very popular among the middle class in terms of brand quality. ”
In fact, under the guidance of Li Nian, local companies have always paid great attention to building brands under the guidance of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. In addition to directly using the well-known brands in pre-war Germany, they have also created many brands, especially in the In terms of daily consumer goods, brands are built through TV advertisements, movie placements, etc., creating this epoch-making operating concept. The products produced by local companies are not just simple products, but products with "brand added value".
There are not only simple luxury brands, but also affordable luxury products suitable for the consumption needs of the middle and upper classes. Of course, more of them are "branded" goods with guaranteed quality that the middle class needs, and this type of goods also happens to fit in with European and American life. Consumption upgrade after level improvement. This has naturally contributed to the surge in exports over the past two years.
"To make a bigger economic cake, it is not just about simply expanding production. After all, the world will not allow other countries to impact their own production and markets. When most countries realize this, they will boycott foreign countries. products,”
Not to mention other things, the U.S.-Japan trade dispute decades later was essentially due to the impact of Japanese product exports on the United States, which then led to the trade dispute between the United States and Japan.
"If you rely entirely on exports in all aspects, the economy will have problems, so it must be transformed and upgraded. Before problems arise, we must make the people rich, because the key to economic transformation and upgrading is to boost domestic demand, and domestic demand requires the people to have money. Money, if you don’t have money, you will be in trouble..."
Looking at the busy streets outside the car window, Li Yian said:
"Two years ago, our GDP exceeded 250 billion yuan for the first time. Last year, it exceeded 290 billion yuan and was close to 300 billion yuan. The economic growth rate exceeded 14%. What makes our economic growth so strong? Zhe Do you know? ”
Facing your question and following your gaze to look out of the car, Zhang Zheyuan thought for a while and said:
"It is these young people. We have tens of millions of young people. They are the largest market. Even if each person buys a pair of sports shoes every year, it can create a market of hundreds of millions or even billions a year."
Zhang Zheyuan's answer made Li Yian nod. He thought of what the real estate boss said when he was working in a real estate company:
"What about real estate, supply, demand, land development, urbanization, nonsense, just in one sentence, we have a huge post-80s generation!"
Although he didn't have a good impression of the belt man who later used the sewing machine, Li Yian felt that what he said was very sincere because he hit the core issue with one word.
What exactly is domestic demand? In essence, it is the debt function and leverage function of population income.
The generation with huge domestic demand at that time was the generation born in the 1980s. They are the group with the largest population base. They can spend 3 dollars and 6 pockets left by the previous generation. Business owners can spend the present tense giving them the income function. The future tense can be spent with the leverage given to them by financial institutions.
They are spending three generations of money, and the population peak of one generation is all the trump cards for domestic demand. Any economic problems can be paid for by this group of people. All debt problems and economic problems will be paid for by this generation. Then there will be no real economic risks.
In fact, this is not special. The same is true in Europe and the United States - the "baby boomer era" is also an example. Their consumption during their teenage years stimulated the economic development of Europe and the United States. When they entered adulthood, they got married and had children, which further promoted the development of European and American real estate and other markets. .
What's the only difference between them?
In fact, the core is not the six pockets of the previous generation, nor the leverage given to them by financial institutions, but the income function given to them by business owners.
It was the income given to them by the business owners that allowed them to share in the dividends of social and economic development that enabled them to achieve great development.
"Yes, we have a huge generation born in the 1950s. With them in the next ten or twenty years, we will have huge domestic demand, but whose money are they spending?"
Li Yian asked back:
"It's their parents' money. Their parents are willing to give them the best. Whether they are from Asia or Europe, they are all the same when it comes to treating their children. They are willing to give their children the best. This is consumption. The root cause, but what we have to consider is distribution..."
Pointing to the bustling street outside the window, Li Yian asked:
"Last year, our economy grew by more than 14%, so the question is, has people's income increased by 14%? My question is not about business owners, not company executives, but the most ordinary people, whose income has increased Is it 14%? That’s the issue of development dividend!”
"Whether we can share the dividends of development! This is the key to whether we can continue to develop and whether young people will continue to struggle. And this is what we need to pay attention to. We have established an environment where people dare to spend money. place, but one thing must be done first - its distribution mechanism is fair for everyone..."
Li Yian, who had withdrawn his gaze from the window, looked out the window and said in a serious tone:
"Whether each of them can benefit from development is not only related to them personally, but also to our future. If we cannot truly share the dividends of development, then..."
Looking out the window again, looking at this bustling city, Li Yian's tone became low and solemn:
"Everything we build today is just an illusion before the collapse of glory, just a fortress on the beach..."
Just staring at the bustling city outside the window, Li Yi'an couldn't help but have a question in his heart, will everything here become a phantom before the glory collapsed?
With his brows furrowed, Li Yian didn't know the answer. After all, there were too many "miracles" in history, and those "miracles" were always talked about by people.
But in the end, how many "miracles" are just dreams?
Thinking of this, Li Yi'an frowned more and more... Can the Equator Miracle, this miracle that shocked the world, last forever, attracting the envy of the world like it does now?
