Chapter 82: The Great Depression (1)

At the foot of Huang Xuan, there is a small ditch with black water, mixed with garbage flowing down in a lower direction, and developing in all directions without restrictions.
The surroundings are crooked and crooked like a dangerous building, with grass sheds, brick houses and low-rise tube buildings adjoining each other. Huang Xuan looked around and saw nothing like the post-earthquake scene. If there were still a few black children frolicking in the distance, he could make a living It's in Tangshan.
"Africa?" Huang Xuan asked Lorraine with regret.
"East District of Detroit, Michigan, USA. Similarity is 91. Residence time is about 10 days."
"Slums?" Perhaps the slums are more vivid. Huang Xuan wiped off the thick leather hat on his head. Inside was a small round cap, tightly woven with metal entangled under it, entangled with his hair.
"Yes." Lorraine replied truthfully: "But you should pay attention to the children in front of you, they don't seem to be friendly to you."
That ’s natural. In 1931, during the Great Depression in the United States, the number of unemployed people reached more than 20. This problem is more obvious in the Automobile City. A large number of skilled workers have lost their jobs, even after Ford proposed the $ 5 work system. Will not disappear.
Vulnerable people are always the main force in the army of unemployed people, and the Detroit blacks are no exception. Although they do not madly attribute the yellow race to the enemy camp, the unfriendly atmosphere can be felt from the children in front of them.
In fact, Huang Xuan's every move was inseparable from childishness, and several black children felt that he could be bullied, and walked over slowly.
"I bet that his pair of shoes is worth a dollar." The leader was referring to Nike at the foot of Huang Xuan. After only the simplest dense woven alloy reinforcement, but the outer cortex is still very tough, it is easy to find that this is a good thing.
"50 cents." Another child guessed. A total of 5 of them, the largest should be no more than 15 years old, but perhaps black people develop faster.
Huang Xuan heard their conversation clearly. If it was in China, he might throw a punch at the guy, and then swollen his eyes and told him. These shoes are worth $ 200. But in a foreign country, I was unconsciously worried. He looked around, as if afraid of ambush.
"My suggestion. It's better to run away now." Of course Lorraine doesn't like to use energy. In the eccentric plane, the energy consumption is much more than in P112.
Several adults around saw the children's actions, but no one ignored them. There are roughly three kinds of men living in slums, those who want to leave, those who give up and those who are about to leave. But no matter what kind of person. Try to find a job or work hard every day, and only then will it be possible to eat enough bread.
Fighting is commonplace here. Huang Xuan can understand if he looks at the rough arms and scars of these children, even if he has strengthened himself. In the face of 5 people, the odds are still very low. He glanced at it twice and ran away helplessly. Even if these 5 kids were really overthrown. Perhaps there will be more children running out, as long as you think about the brotherhood of the 21st century American block, it is not surprising that two .45 calibers appear when necessary or unnecessary.
"Catch up with him." The children shouted, and Huang Xuan ran a kilometer more easily. He was originally on the outer edge of the slum, and now he has completely left this community.
The black water at the feet was still there, Huang Xuan kicked the floor annoyingly, and the splashed limestone hit the pants again.
"Go to sell grain first?" Huang Xuan asked Lorraine habitually: "Where is the market here."
"Battle Creek is a food distribution center in the Detroit area and a satellite city outside Detroit, but I don't think we can sell enough food."
"Why?" The people Huang Xuan saw just now are all hungry. In this case, the food price should be higher.
Lorraine replied with standards: "Because it is the Great Depression. Agricultural products have depreciated since two years ago, and the price of food is often lower than the price of transportation. And no one can afford food."
"Now is the time to pour milk into the river?" Huang Xuan remembers a teacher once said that in a period of time, capitalist countries in an economic crisis poured milk and coffee into rivers and the sea, shooting cattle and sheep directly. In the valley.
"That's right." Lorraine's answer made Huang Xuan feel weak for 15,000 tons of wheat. It was better to pour them into the sea. In 1929, before the collapse of Wall Street, the price of agricultural products in the entire United States plummeted. The first reason was the price war of Soviet timber. After that, the bumper crop of over-grown wheat in Canada caused panic to start, which eventually caused the stock market to fall. The depression began.
Judging from the simple idea, the more output, the less consumption, the more wealth, but for the entire capitalist market, when output increases, consumption remains unchanged or even decreases, producers will reduce income. When the decline in earnings becomes unpredictable, the factory will shut down, reducing consumption again, and then widening the crisis.
The economic crisis of the 1930s was the "Great" depression, and it was also closely related to the crazy investment in the 1920s. The factory owners expanded their production, hoping to increase productivity and manufacture more products, but the result was that People are disappointed.
This kind of disappointment can be clearly felt in Detroit. Huang Xuan walked slowly on the bank of a river passing through the city. There were not only many homeless people along the way, but more of two eyesless, stout, but nothing. Men.
The Great Depression has been going on for two years. The huge pressure of life not only caused hunger, but also caused psychological hopelessness. In the 1980s, the United States also had an unemployment rate of 12-only half of the Great Depression-but just look Looking at what Americans say today, how much panic has been caused to them in the past few years, so much harm.
"No one wants food, what should we do." Huang Xuan almost talked to himself. The materials they bring are basically all agricultural products, and a few handicrafts are used as gifts, but no matter which kind. These are the lowest-priced gadgets of this period.
Lorraine did not speak, which proved that he had no choice. Huang Xuan sighed, and felt that he was very similar to the unemployed on the roadside. If he had nothing to do in this trip, he would have lost his blood. This is the real bloodlessness. Not only do all materials need to be discarded, but the energy worth tens of millions of dollars It was burnt in vain. If not counting the 300 million US dollars still frozen in the Huang's fund, Huang Xuan wants to enter a new plane again, and can only sell assets.
To store enough energy, it is not enough to rely on a few electrolytic aluminum yards. Furans has not yet entered the formal, pitiful energy available. It takes a lot of time to buy futures.
Think of here. Huang Xuan couldn't help but quicken his pace, if Lorraine couldn't help, he could only rely on himself.
At the end of the 1920s, Detroit reached its peak, with a population of more than 2 million, becoming one of the four major cities in the United States, and as the backbone of the population. Workers have an absolute advantage here.
If someone watches the NBA games, they will find that the style of the Detroit Pistons has always been tough, people call them bench gangsters-because Detroit people like this style, so only bad boys will be exchanged to Detroit. To stay in Detroit.
The traffic on the street is also permeated with a tough, classic car with a big horn whizzing past when it encounters a slow car. White or black people in the car will yell and occasionally swear.
This is completely a unique style.
Huang Xuan's knowledge of Detroit is far more than that of Japan. For a time, the Huang family had great interest in the automotive industry. Of course, in the end, it did not make a trip.
However, during the one-year verification period, not only Zhang Xinyi, but also Huang Qunsheng also participated in it. When eating together, Huang Xuan could hear Detroit's name from time to time.
Detroit is located in the area of ​​the Great Lakes, backed by the Detroit River, the natural environment was originally very good, but years of industrial development have begun to ruin it all, Huang Xuan strolled beside an unknown black water tributary, the air exudes the smell of garbage He whispered to Lorraine: "The headquarters of the four major automobile companies in the United States (GM, Ford, Chrysler and Amerika) are all in Detroit. If it is now, the car production here should be the first."
"That's right." Lorraine answered with certainty.
Huang Xuan shrugged, passed by two young people, and stopped to look around. It was only noticed that many vehicles on the street were the same clumsy.
"This is ..." Huang Xuan pointed to one of them.
"T-type cars, the most sold cars in the world, before the production was discontinued in 1927, Ford-made T-type cars accounted for 57% of all produced cars."
"I know it." The T-type car has four bicycle-like tires. It entered China after the Revolution of 1911. It can be seen in many films about Shanghai. A bodyguard stands at the door of a T-type car. Location, staring at the surrounding doors. The T model made Ford rise. When other cars sold for $ 3,000, the first T model was only $ 850, and 5 years ago, a T model was only $ 260. At that time, the Ford plant had begun to implement a $ 5 daily salary. That is to say, these workers only need two months' salary to buy a T-car. This was 1931, the United States in the quagmire.
Huang Xuan did not actually care about Model T cars. He was trying hard to remember what his mother said about Ford when it was this time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he knew that putting things in his head was better than putting More useful in the database.
"Tell about the Ford after the T-type." Huang Xuan had to turn to Lorraine for help, but fortunately there was also the keeper.
"After Ford shut down its T-model production line, it started to develop the A-type car for six months. The results were good, about 6 million units were sold, and there were V8 and B-type cars in the 1930s."
"It's here." Huang Xuan clenched his fist in his right hand, hitting on the left palm: "Lorraine, the technology we sold to Ford V8 and VB cars."
"Vending technology is usually banned in plane transactions, which will greatly reduce the energy of the buffer zone, and harvest less, usually people should still focus on material transactions."
"Doesn't Napoleon kill the energy of the buffer zone?" Huang Xuan sneered. Lorraine dismissed what he said was less, and some income was enough.
Lorraine argued: "That was because the first sequence required ..."
"OK." Huang Xuan pressed his hands, saying: "Don't pay attention to your sequence requirements. There is no plane base here. Selling technology, I have to benefit, and you have to buffer energy. How good?"
