Chapter 1748 What Kind of Developing Country Is This?

Sandy arrived at the newspaper office on foot crying. Many people in the newspaper office were also affected by the recent social turmoil, and they were depressed. Because they understand that the current situation is created by their newspaper, but the result is not what they want to see.

The Christian Science Monitor, whose readers are mostly elite, is a newspaper for the top and upper class in the United States. There are not many staff members in the newspaper office, but they have always insisted on having their own viewpoints. Naturally, they must conduct in-depth analysis and reports on the current social turmoil.

"Sandy." The editor-in-chief called Sandy over, "Many people in the current turmoil have proposed the idea of ​​completely boycotting rabbits and punishing them from political, military, economic and other aspects. You go to interview some authoritative people, I need in-depth coverage and insight on this."

Sandy took up the task, collecting materials from government officials and academics through phone calls, emails, and personal visits. The conclusion reached is that 'comprehensive sanctions and the like are all means to play against weak countries. For a big country like Rabbit, economic means are the only way. '

As for the economic boycott, an American reporter wrote a report a few years ago - not to use rabbit-made products within a year, and concluded that it was very difficult in all aspects such as basic necessities of life. If you don't buy rabbit products, the cost of living will skyrocket.

And today, is America's reliance on rabbit commodities deepening?

The results of the preliminary investigation made Sandy very happy..., in the current US market, among all kinds of basic necessities, "Made by Rabbit" has actually experienced a sharp decline. For example, in terms of clothing, Vietnamese manufacturing has begun to occupy a large market.

Enterprises in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa have developed greatly in the past ten years, and Rabbit has many competitors in low-end commodities. The United States can still buy a lot of American goods in terms of food and clothing.

The United States has developed agriculture, and basically fresh food and food are produced domestically. The food processing industry is also made locally, and even many Chinese supermarkets known for their low prices, including Vietnamese supermarkets, are also selling American products. There is no shortage of daily necessities and furniture items made in the United States.

Among the world's top 500 companies, American companies also occupy a great advantage. Apple, HP, IBM, Cisco, GM, Ford, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Boeing, Lockheed, DuPont, 3M, Johnson & Johnson. These megacorporations are still powerful and hugely profitable.

Sandy wrote in his article: "Many economists and business leaders believe that the manufacturing industry in the Greater America is still on the rise. It is not a rebound after the previous economic crisis, but a structural long-term lead.

In the current era of globalization, it is difficult for a country's products to dominate the US market. The division and transfer of global industries have given us more choices. So there is no rabbit to make, we can substitute goods from other countries. "

After writing this report, Sandy himself felt very happy. He felt that he had broken some kind of spell, that a long-established view was no longer true. Times are different, and life for the American people would not be any worse without rabbits.

After the manuscript is finished, Sandy intends to do some polishing and send it to the editor-in-chief. But before that, he decided to go out for a big meal to relieve the tension of the past few days. For this reason, he even hooked up with a female editor of the newspaper to have dinner, and at the dinner table he inevitably mentioned the work he had just completed.

"Oh... you mean we don't need to panic about that country on the other side of the world?" The female editor seemed interested in Sandy's point of view and asked with a smile.

"Of course." Sandy showed off some of his survey data and interview materials, "Rabbits have always claimed to be a developing country, I think we need to be vigilant against them, but there is no need to panic. We are still the most Great country."

"Really?" The female editor snorted and rolled up a piece of bacon on her dinner plate with a fork in her hand, and asked, "Do you know the American Smith Field Foods Company?"

"What?" Sandy suddenly lost his temper.

As a trainee reporter who just took over, he really doesn't know much about food companies.

Seeing Sandy being silly, the female editor opposite had the joy and interest of "being a teacher". She continued: "Smithfield Foods has four hog factories with more than 800,000 breeding pigs and 40 pork processing plants with an annual slaughtering capacity of more than 15 million pigs."

"Oh...that's amazing." Sandy could only exclaim, "This must be our American company, right? I knew we were the best."

"Smith Field Foods is really great. It is the world's largest pork producer and its products are sold all over the world. But just a few years ago, it was acquired by a rabbit company." The female editor shrugged slightly, expressing helplessness.

"Ah..., this sounds terrible." Sandy also stirred the bacon on his dinner plate, which he thought was very good just now, but now it's a bit tasteless.

Americans also have a sense of honor. In fact, to knead a big country always needs a strong sense of cohesion and identity, otherwise it will be a mess. When the flag of the United States was flying all over the world, Americans were proud and humorous, able to accept criticism from the outside world, and willing to help others.

But now..., sorry, the glory of victory in the Cold War only lasted for a decade or so, everything has changed. Sensitive, suspicious, restless, these new traits appeared in Americans. The United States is still strong, but it is becoming more and more powerless in the face of many challenges.

Many people feel that only rabbits in the world do not accept American values. Don't be funny, there are many countries that have trouble with the Americans. For example, when the "OPEC" was launched back then, wasn't it the oil tyrants in the Middle East who made a big deal out of America? So don't think that the whole world listens to Laomei.

In front of the dining table, the female editor continued to educate: "In the clothing industry, Vietnamese manufacturing is indeed seizing the rabbit market. But the most powerful textile industry in the world is still the rabbit.

And the rabbit is not the simple "world factory" in the past, in fact it has become a "world market". Its exports and imports have a growing influence on the world, and even the United States cannot do without the huge demand of the 1.4 billion population.

Rabbits are not only exporting physical commodities, they are increasingly making financial investments. Like, you want to ask me to the movies later, right? The AMC movie theaters we are going to, and the movies produced by Legendary Pictures, they are no longer purely made in the United States. "

Sandy was shocked, "They were also acquired by Rabbit's business?"

"This is news from many years ago." The female editor said.

"Fuck!" Sandy couldn't help cursing, "A developing country actually came to buy our big company, what kind of developing country is this?"

The female editor laughed and said, "Do you think rabbits can only make clothes, food, toys and other gadgets? People have long since stopped focusing on the development of such a low-level industry. Now even the British are looking for rabbits to repair nuclear power plants. There are fewer and fewer things they can't do.

In the past, the United States was strong because it had the largest unified market in the world. If other countries want to make money, they must sell their goods to the United States, so the American standard naturally prevails in the world.

But now a bigger market is forming in the east. I believe that in another ten years, we will be asking for rabbits. America's biggest mistake is probably thinking that rabbits are kind and easy to bully. As you're thinking about it now. "

It's really a broken pattern!
