Chapter 1071 Front Page Headlines

Suddenly hit by the Q11 incident, it is conceivable that the financial and commercial world should have a very intense reaction to it, especially when the two World Trade Center buildings were completely destroyed, which made people extremely worried about the direction of the world economy.

Therefore, this time, under the promotion of Ziqi, CCTV's "Daily Financial Interview" column invited economic experts, military experts, and well-known multinational entrepreneurs at home and abroad to gather together to discuss this matter.

The loss of the United States in this incident can be said to be extremely serious.

The direct economic loss is heavy. The World Trade Center located on Manhattan Island in New York was destroyed in an instant. This world business power gathering place with a cost of 1.1 billion US dollars has a total of 1,200 companies from all over the world, with 50,000 workers working in shifts at ordinary times, and about 150,000 business personnel and tourists coming and going every day.

Two months ago, two American real estate companies won the bid for the lease of two skyscrapers and their underground shopping malls for 3.25 billion US dollars. The world-renowned Morgan Stanley Dean Witter is the largest tenant, renting a total of 25 floors for 3,500 employees to work.

Two towering buildings were suddenly destroyed. The restoration of the Pentagon will cost at least several hundred million dollars, and the loss of talent is even more difficult to estimate with numbers.

The transportation and tourism industries suffered serious losses. It is estimated that in the future, some systems of the global financial market may change due to this crisis, and the direction of financial market development will also be adjusted. Four domestic flights in the United States were hijacked in one day, causing huge casualties and property losses, which is rare in history.

All flights in the United States were grounded, and flights from other countries to the United States were either grounded or diverted to Canada. Last year, the average total revenue of American airlines was about 3.6 billion US dollars a day. The US civil aviation industry has been on a downward trend in the past two years. This incident has a serious impact on the civil aviation industry, and it is possible that the US civil aviation turnover will drop by about half in the next few months.

Closely related to the civil aviation industry is the tourism industry. People in developed countries go on vacation, and a large proportion of them take planes. However, this poison attack made 266 people become human bombs. The psychological trauma caused by fear to people is difficult to heal in a short period of time, which will greatly affect the development of the tourism industry.

The insurance industry is facing difficulties. The property insurance of casualties, several buildings, four planes, company objects and undesigned cars has not yet been counted. Some experts preliminarily estimated that the losses are between 10 and 15 billion US dollars, which is unbearable for insurance companies with annual income of about 40 billion US dollars.

Securities dealers and exchanges suffered heavy losses. Securities markets such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange were all closed. The New York Stock Exchange has only been closed twice in history, once within four months at the beginning of World War I, and the other time was from March 4 to 14, 1933 during the Great Depression. The direct trading losses caused by the stock market closure this time are about 10 billion US dollars.

After showing a lot of numbers and analysis, Ziqi kicked off the interview.

An expert on American issues said that the economic impact of the Q11 incident in the United States is not limited to the direct losses of the incident itself, but more importantly, it has affected people's investment and consumption confidence, causing the US dollar to depreciate relative to mainstream currencies, the stock market to fall, and the prices of strategic materials such as oil to rise for a time, and it has affected mainstream financial markets such as Europe and Asia in real time from a regional perspective, causing the market to overreact, thus leading to slower economic growth in the United States and other countries in the world.

It can be seen that the world politics and international relations before the Q11 incident are obviously different from the situation after the Q11 incident. The US war against terrorism will bring about new changes in international relations and geopolitics, and lead to the interaction of relations between major powers. Changes in the international political, military and diplomatic situation will definitely affect the policy choices of other countries' economic and social development.

"For China, in order to minimize the negative impact of the US Q11 incident on our economy, we should be prepared and plan ahead. We should not only pay attention to the impact of the US Q11 incident itself on our economy, but also study the long-term impact of the strategic orientation, tactical orientation and policy orientation adopted by the United States and the international community to deal with terrorist activities on our economy, and timely track and study the changes in international political economy after the Q11 incident." The expert said, "As a major country, my country can mainly rely on the huge domestic market to improve its economy. We should further increase the intensity of reform, take measures to stabilize people's psychological expectations, expand residents' consumption demand, and stimulate private investment and production and operation activities. Taking advantage of my country's accession to the WTO opportunities, speed up the pace of utilizing foreign capital, and attract foreign capital through institutional innovation, transparent, clean, efficient administration and booming economy.

Another economic expert said, "For people all over the world, in today's civilized world, we still have a common enemy...terrorism, it is the modern devil Satan, its cold claws can take away the precious lives of our loved ones at any time. Terrorists may use various methods to create trouble at any time and place, hit the world financial and commodity markets, and undermine people's confidence. International speculative funds will also stir up trouble, take advantage of the opportunities provided by terrorist activities to engage in speculative activities, make huge profits by creating terrorist incidents, and increase financial risks.

Therefore, on the one hand, we should strengthen cooperation with the international community and crack down on terrorist activities; on the other hand, we should study the issue of increasing the reserves of international strategic commodities, especially oil reserves, and minimize the impact of financial turmoil caused by terrorist activities on my country's economy. It is our common responsibility to fight terrorism and protect the lives of citizens. The interests of China and the United States are consistent.

Another economic expert made a more data-illustrating analysis. He pointed out that the Q11 incident would hit American consumer confidence, plunge the US economy into recession, and delay the time of economic recovery. Since the second half of last year, the US economy has been sluggish, high-tech companies have poor profits, a large number of layoffs, and a sharp decline in investment. Trade continues to have a huge deficit, and the economy mainly relies on consumption, which accounts for 70% of the gross national product. The growth rate of the United States in the second quarter of this year was only 0.2%, and the unemployment rate in August reached 5%. These factors have cast a shadow on consumer confidence. The consumer confidence index in August fell to the lowest level in eight years. g. , this sudden attack has undoubtedly made the US economy worse, enough to make the already fragile consumer confidence plummet, and shake the consumer spending that supports US economic growth. The decline in consumer confidence, the decline in stock prices and the reduction in corporate profits will further limit the investment and control capabilities of enterprises, and corporate mergers and acquisitions will also decrease accordingly, thus affecting the US investment, which has already been in negative growth.

The impact of consumption and investment will cause the US economy to fall into recession and greatly delay the time for the US economic recovery.

When it was Fan Wubing's turn to speak, everyone responded with warm applause.

"Mr. Fan Wubing is already an old friend of our column. As the boss of Fan's Investment Group, he has more conflicts of interest in the United States. We want to hear his views on this matter." Ziqi said.

Fan Wubing nodded to the camera, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show a group of pictures first. Please look at what Fan Wubing showed on the big screen. It is a screenshot of the front page of newspapers and magazines around the world today about the Q11 incident.

"As a public figure, you must have a general judgment. China now needs stability at home and image abroad. Its own progress must force you to increase your soft power, which naturally respects universal values. Because you are a member of the world, it naturally includes democracy, freedom, human rights, etc. "Fan Wubing said to everyone, "What I am showing now is the front pages of newspapers in various countries about the Q11 incident. All the front pages are news reports about Q11, and only our pages are about the leaders' reception. It is said that the Americans are preparing to make a display board of major media newspapers in various countries around the world about the Q11 incident. I think that when you stand in front of this display board soon, you will immediately have a momentary feeling that China must become a part of the world and we must have a common value judgment. "

Fan Wubing's words made many people feel embarrassed, but when they saw the front-page headlines of the World Trade Center in the world's media were all about the World Trade Center collapsing with smoke, everyone suddenly felt that China had fallen far behind the world.

Although China has been reforming and opening up for more than 20 years, some things have not changed. In this world that has gradually become one, excessive differences are obviously not good, especially when the world's attention is focused on this display board, what will everyone think in their hearts?

Although several guests later expressed some opinions on the Q11 incident, in any case, the visual impact brought to people by the pictures shown by Fan Wubing was greater. Wubing didn't say much, but relied on the pictures of the front-page content of newspapers in various countries that he temporarily collected to conquer the audience in an instant.

Or, when most people are still talking about how many Americans have died, Fan Wubing's picture collection will make everyone's minds a little calmer.

After all, the huge gap in ideology is the main reason for opposition and confrontation.
