Chapter 1304 The So-Called Traditional Industry
White Investment, many people now call it White Capital. Generally speaking, this is considered an upstart of the Internet, or a beneficiary of the new economy.
Well, it is relatively easy to understand that William White is spending money on warehousing and logistics. After all, even if your network can be transmitted via satellite, if Internet users ultimately have any needs, you must also fulfill them through logistics.
In this way, warehousing logistics is not difficult to understand. It is also acceptable to spend huge sums of money to lay out cold chains. After all, as the scale of Happy Farm continues to expand, the pressure on sales is also increasing.
However, if you keep doing this, the scale of the real economy may exceed the virtual economy. Ahem, investment banks all over the world are trying to reduce heavy asset allocations. You are doing the opposite. Is there some conspiracy?
"New economy? George, it's strange that the outside world doesn't see it this way. If you see it this way too, it would be very disappointing."
"Uh⊙⊙!" Little Bushu was a little curious, and he came to Happy Farm more than once or twice. In his opinion, this farm is nothing more than the Internet. Compared with those who participate in actual operations, more players just use this Happy Farm as a platform.
"Is not it?"
"Hey, of course not. What's going on out there? It's amazing that I, William White, am an upstart.
Traditional industries?
Let me ask you, George, is the most traditional industry, food, clothing, housing and transportation?
You see, I have my own clothing brand, my own farm, my own property, and my own car brand.
If I have all the basic necessities of life, how can I be considered a representative of the new economy? "
William White shrugged his shoulders and dismissed it. In his opinion, it was because those old guys had run out of skills. Haha, since the money is not enough for you, it seems that the beatings are not enough for you. In order to retain what little pride they had left, they did not want to side with William White.
"What, deny it? By the way, the high-speed rail project from San Francisco to Los Angeles has been approved. Soon, I will get involved in the transportation field.
Hey, George, apart from the lack of steel mills and military industrial enterprises, I don’t think I have any shortcomings here. "
"Uh!" Xiao Bushu was shocked again. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that I was shocked. William White's proportion in the real economy is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. If you are talking about speculators at this time, you are really covering your ears.
Can you imagine how shocking it would be if William White became the largest farmer one day?
Perhaps, the arrival of this day will not be too long!
Land resources may be relatively scarce for other countries. But for the United States, most of their land can be planted in rotation.
This is the main reason why William White rejects genetically modified crops.
no need!
Yes, for relatively fertile land, the yield increase of genetically modified crops is not obvious.
"Haha, I see, that's what I said.
Don't worry, William, I'm not going to be their lobbyist. "
William White smiled bitterly, I believe you. Now you can only represent the Bushu family, but not the younger Bushu. Of course, if my friend proposes a high-speed railway project, you need to consider it here.
It is true that monopoly is not conducive to economic development. The United States, once a great railroad country, is rapidly declining.
Or maybe only the kilometers are scary. When it comes to transportation capacity and speed, it's really a bit pitiful. If you look at small Japan, there are already several Shinkansen lines.
Alas, Japan is trapped by its small land area. For such a strange land, its development from highways to railways is far ahead of that of the United States.
"I know George, this time, Morgan should be working with me.
What's going on with these old guys? Even if they can't be fully laid out, at the very least, can't they do one or two experimental ones? "
Little Bushu smiled bitterly, as soon as there was some movement here at William White, a group of old guys became very nervous. This kind of mentality is very unhealthy. Although he can't understand this, he can understand it.
Aren't you afraid that you will do it?
If it happens, too many industries will be affected. Passenger rail transportation is basically a joke in the United States.
Ahem, well, since the advent of jet airliners, the number of railway passenger transport has been declining. This is not limited to the United States, but also occurs in countries with larger land areas.
Train tickets are more expensive than air tickets. This is common sense in vast countries like the United States and Australia.
In this case, the high-speed rail you are planning to build now will be very embarrassing. You see, San Francisco is 600 kilometers from Los Angeles, more than six hours on Interstate 5, and one and a half hours by plane. If there is a high-speed train that takes two and a half hours, ahem, can the current train that takes 12 hours be dismantled?
In William White's view, the current route has nothing but sightseeing and sentiment.
Well, maybe there are no more Chinese workers. The mood of the American emperor is tangled. In their view, such a huge engineering project is just like a joke.
Money is easy to come by, and many banks will provide loans. The technology is pretty good, although America's is a little worse.
Ahem, okay, it's very bad. It is neither as good as the Gallic Rooster nor as good as the Germans. The gap with Japan is also all-round.
A so-called scientific and technological power is lagging behind in all aspects. If it were told to the melon-eating masses, who could imagine it.
Sorry, it’s just a fact!
"George, this is just your wishful thinking. Without demand, there will be no research and development, and there will be no progress.
The long-term monopoly has caused the current situation. Even if you win the election, I'm afraid you won't be able to change it.
Ten years, at least, without a long-term investment, we can't even produce anything. "
“Um, William, are you sure you’re not joking?
Judging from your face, I can be sure. However, this is exactly what I am worried about. Since it is not a joke, then do we really have no way to produce it? "
"Absolutely not possible. Unless."
"Unless what?" Xiao Bushu was a little anxious. To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure now. Lao Ke, the president, has indeed done an outstanding job. This also creates a problem.
Whoever succeeds will be unlucky!
A bad, incompetent person will be labeled on his head.
Issues between men and women will be over as soon as they are over. It would be quite embarrassing if you bring them up again and again. Not to mention the future, just looking at the current public opinion, almost no one is talking about Lao Ke.
How to say?
Faced with such a degree of temptation, Lao Ke was able to stick to the last bottom line. Well, let’s call it a bottom line, or a joke. Now the whole world knows that what the President of the United States says is not what he says.
You see, even though he has become the laughing stock of the whole world, Lao Ke's approval rating is still very high. If he could work for three terms, Lao Ke would not face any opponents.
The reason is that Lao Ke has made great efforts in economics. After the Asian financial crisis, the United States has left Japan far behind.
What? Is GDP useless?
Just kidding, no matter how many people say it, the importance of this GDP ranking cannot be compared to the entertainment rankings like Forbes.
Let's put it this way, the alternation of rankings means war. John Bull lost his power in World War I, and Eagle Sauce established his position in World War II.
Think about it, when Japan secretly approached the United States, how entangled their hearts were.
