Chapter 83 Culture is an invisible knife

When the economy goes backward, people's spending power will become a joke. After the income decreases, there is no "consumption" in the strict sense, but more of the expenses that have to be done to maintain a living.

But not everything, like the birth rate and abortion rate, goes down the same way as the economy does during a recession.

After the recession, there are fewer opportunities for people to have fun, and because of unemployment at home for a long time, the demand in some areas begins to flourish, so the newborn will be part of the wave that will continue to impact these already crumbling. Families, some families who originally planned to have children, will also abort those children who would have been born because of financial difficulties.

It's also very interesting that newborn waves and abortion rates don't conflict.

For example, the crime rate will increase significantly. Many people are forced to take risks due to the pressure of life and begin to engage in illegal criminal activities to obtain the necessary foundation for life. Some people will even take the initiative to break the law to seek to enter the prison and eat for free. meals.

In such an environment full of stress and anxiety, the whole society will have a morbid situation, and at the same time, wealth will flow up from the bottom of the society at an accelerated rate.

Ordinary people lack channels to exchange remuneration through labor equivalent, and their money will be drained bit by bit in the process of maintaining a living. This money flows into the hands of capitalists, and the sense of hatred for the rich in society begins to spread. .

Whenever the economy is in recession and the society is depressed, it is the time for the capitalists to revel.

But there are also some industries that will flourish quietly, and the rise of these industries actually has a certain relationship with the form of society.

For example, discount stores and retail, as well as some wholesale markets, these industries will become hot, people's consumption must be according to the plan, they must use every penny carefully, including the middle class, they have no Ways to enjoy the fun and class differentiation of wealth as much as in the past.

This is also one of the few opportunities for the middle class to get in touch with the bottom of society. They can’t drive, because they need money for gas, and they go shopping with a basket of vegetables like ordinary people who don’t know how to look with their eyes.

Industries related to agriculture will also see a certain level of improvement. In fact, many families have already started to grow some edible food near their residences to supplement their households. If livestock and poultry are not allowed to be raised within the city limits, these people may even be cattle. already raised.

Among the investment projects of many foundations, the proportion of funds flowing to agriculture and animal husbandry has increased a lot compared with previous years. In fact, investment banks and funds are more sensitive to changes in the market. It can be seen from the proportion of their investment in agriculture and animal husbandry. future economic trends.

If there will be obvious economic development in the future, they will invest their money in the appropriate industrial or financial fields. When they start to invest in agriculture and animal husbandry on a large scale and reduce other investments, it means that the cold winter is coming. Many people always ignore this question.

Tobacco, alcohol, and the entertainment industry will also grow rapidly.

Cigarettes and alcohol can make people forget their worries temporarily, and the entertainment industry can make people forget the pain in life for a short time. If the price of this happiness is not high, people will squeeze out a little money to buy this happiness.

Plus the coming storm will break down the walls of the already semi-solidified Baylor federal capitalist ruling class, some artificial thresholds, city walls, will be smashed by the storm, and some of the less conspicuous industries will become easier Enter.

Of course, in addition to these, the second-hand market will also have an unprecedented rise, which is why Lynch wants to form a brand-new, state-wide, auction company specializing in second-hand goods trading.

He has the right time and the right place, and this time he wants to make a fortune. If there is no accident, after this storm is over, a business wizard will rise up here.

Of course, it's a bit redundant to talk about these now. He briefly explained it to Fox and his son, and then talked about another way to make money behind the entertainment industry.

"The real profit of the entertainment industry, which is related to culture, comes from two parts. On the one hand, it is the normal operating income..." Lynch raised a finger, "...I believe you can listen to these. understand and understand."

Fox and his son nodded, the business income is like filming a movie and then selling tickets, the box office is the business office, they continued to look at Lynch, and Lynch raised a second finger and continued, "Second Partly from the federal government's subsidy act..."

The Foksu father and son glanced at each other. Lynch's statement really aroused their interest. From fearing the federal government to taking up the federal government's job, two father and son partners who may have been involved in illegal acts not long ago, There was a sudden urge.

I just don’t know, is this bowl of rice from the federal government any good?
"Society will soon become unsettled, a large number of unemployed people will become a destabilizing factor in every city, coupled with the Confederation's independence in the international community (maintaining relative independence, no clear position), has caused Some issues, releasing social pressure, pacifying people's emotions, and seeking some commonality in the international community have become important tasks for the federal government in the next stage."

Lynch paused when he said this, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Fox, if you stand with a foreigner, under what circumstances will you accept this foreigner in the shortest possible time, Befriend him?"

Mr. Fox thought for a while and said, "If our language can communicate, he knows some of the things I talk about, and I also know some of the things he says, and if we have common topics and even hobbies, we will soon become friend."

Lynch pointed to him, "It's quite right, the commonality of culture, we rarely have time to sit down and read a book from a foreign country, even if it is a world-class classic."

"But we can seriously and carefully watch a movie from abroad, and even think about the things behind the movie. This is what makes the movie special."

"The entertainment industry can not only help the upper class to appease the lower class's dissatisfaction with the social formation, reduce friction and contradiction between some classes, but also export to the world to seek more commonality and recognition. Doing these things can not only make money in an open and honest way, Eat federal subsidies, do not need to worry about retaliation from certain interest groups, this is an industry with a future."

Lynch said a lot. Mr. Fox was very moved, and Fox was also very moved. He studied management, not sociology, not finance and economics. He didn't understand this, but he felt that what Lynch said was very reasonable.

He looked at Mr. Fox, as if he wanted to confirm Mr. Fox's attitude, and the latter asked a very direct question, "Friend Lynch, if we follow your advice and invest in the entertainment industry, will you take a stake?"

In Mr. Fox's view, if the entertainment industry can really make money, Lynch will never miss this opportunity.

During this period of time, he has gotten to know Lynch very clearly and deeply. This is a pure businessman. All his actions are to seek the maximum profit, including helping him realize the transformation from illegal to legal, These processes of money laundering.

This is all Lynch's efforts to bite the flesh and blood on him, but Mr. Fox doesn't hate this calculation, or he doesn't hate Lynch's method.

If he can keep his assets tumbling and doubling, it would be best to have someone like Lynch.

The entertainment industry is an industry he is not very familiar with. If Lynch really thinks this industry is suitable for entry, then he should invest.

As if seeing through Mr. Fox's careful thinking, Lynch shrugged, "Why not?"

　When I was young, I was ignorant. The teacher said that I would regret it if I didn’t study hard. As a result, the existence she needed to look up to once also called me to lead.

I have smoked for many years, over 20 years, friends bet that I would never quit, and the next day I never smoked again.

Recently, I felt that I was too fat, and my family complained that I would never lose weight in my life. In two months, I lost more than 20 catties.

I'm not saying this to show off, I just want to prove that when one has perseverance and determination, nothing can stop me...

Until someone asked me, are you rich?
I suddenly felt that there was no need to change anything for someone else's words, I was who I was.
