Chapter 32 Crazy
Chen Yu buried his head in writing a book, but the wheel of history was rolling forward.
The 1980s had to be said to be a very exciting era. In this short decade, China achieved reform and opening up and opened its doors; RB became the world's second largest economy, and even surpassed the United States for a time; and the collapse of the Red Empire, one of the two poles in the world, even gave an exclamation mark for this era.
It can be said that the world pattern in the next half century has emerged in just ten years.
China's economy has taken off due to reform and opening up. In just 30 years, it surpassed RB and became the world's second largest economy, and its economy is still developing rapidly.
RB has been stagnant in the next 30 years due to the collapse of the bubble economy, but even so, it took China 30 years to surpass it.
As for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it completely changed the pattern of the entire world. The end of the Cold War has turned the world from a two-pole battle to a superpower in the next thirty years.
This era is the best for RB, because these decades are the era of the rapid development of RB economy. With the signing of the Square Agreement, it has injected surging momentum into the RB economy, and has made the national confidence of the entire country expand unprecedentedly, and has also given the RB people the confidence to clamor to buy everything.
The RB people in the 1980s were crazy, waving the yen all over the world, consuming frantically, buying whatever they wanted to buy.
Mitsubishi Real Estate bought 51% of the equity of the Rockefeller Center, a landmark in the United States for $850 million; Sony bought Columbia Film Company for $3.4 billion; Panasonic bought Universal Pictures for $6 billion; RBShuwa bought Citi Plaza, and the famous Van Gogh's "Sunflower" and so on...
At that time, there was a very popular saying in RB, which was "shinism", that is, enjoying timely fun.
"Consumption is virtue" has become a consensus among RB people, especially young people. In the famous brand stores on Fifth Avenue in New York, there were crowds of people who went shopping from RB overseas. At that time, RB people consumed more than half of the world's luxury goods, and even department stores such as France implemented purchase restrictions on tourists holding RB passports.
In the bubble era, the entire RB society was in a hypocritical prosperity period, and all behaviors were trying to cater to and stimulate consumption. For young people who were constantly comparing and consuming, merchants constantly encouraged them to enjoy the current life, artificially turning every festival into Valentine's Day or date.
Every festival has become a good time for carnival, and every festival couple needs to prepare gifts for each other. Rolex, Omecca and others spend 10,000 yuan, so there is no surprise.
During the period of the bubble economy, the average salary of RB was 120,000 yen, while in 1990, the average salary level in China was only 178 yuan. The exchange rate at that time was about 10,000 yen to exchange for 300 RMB.
If you are getting married, buy wedding dresses or dresses above one million, and fly to tourist attractions such as Australia, Bali, Fiji for honeymoons, and a wedding cost 300,000 to 500,000 or more.
On the beaches of resorts around the world, there are all kinds of yellow-skinned and dark-haired RB people lying, and even black people who work as waiters in hotels in Fiji have learned to speak Japanese.
It sounds like a déjà vu, doesn’t it? I have to say that studying history can make many interesting discoveries.
There is nothing new under the sun. When Chen Yu followed his college tutor to learn about the RB bubble economy era in his previous life, his tutor often spoke this sentence.
In the eyes of that mentor, there were many similarities between RB at that time and China today. The mistakes and successes RB made at that time were precious experiences and worth studying, learning and reference.
Chen Yu naturally benefited a lot from his teacher.
However, for Chen Yu at that time, learning this knowledge was for credit, and now recalling this knowledge can help him succeed.
Knowledge changes destiny, this sentence is a real truth.
However, for Chen Yu, the next few years will be relatively stable. During this period, there seems to be no major event that is particularly worth paying attention to except for the explosion of the US Challenger Space Shuttle, the explosion of the Soviet Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and the world's population exceeding 5 billion.
Of course, 1989 was an important historical node because the Internet appeared this year.
This is something that Chen Yu is very concerned about, because in the next thirty years, it can be said that the whole world is revolving around the Internet.
Unfortunately, he is not a programmer, otherwise he would have made the Internet in advance and he would have become the richest man in the world by lying down.
But even so, Chen Yu felt that it was not difficult to become the world's richest man, and he could do it with hard work. After all, the future Internet giants have not yet begun to make a fortune!
Chen Yu can invest in those future Internet giants in advance or simply buy them before they grow up. When they become giants, the money will really be just a number.
Before this, what Chen Yu had to do was to accumulate early funds so that he would not have the money to buy the geese when the geese laying golden eggs were in front of him in the future.
After all, in addition to buying these golden eggs in advance, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, the collapse of the RB bubble economy, the European currency crisis in 1992, and the Asian financial crisis in 1997, these four major financial events are all good opportunities to make money and require a lot of funds to operate.
Thinking of these things, Chen Yu did not stop the pen in his hand, and lines of text appeared under his pen.
With all concentration and no one disturbed me, apart from the fact that I had a bit awkward writing at the beginning because I needed memories, Chen Yu quickly got into the state and wrote more and more smoothly.
But just as he finished writing a paragraph and was about to sort out the manuscript on the table, the doorbell suddenly came downstairs.
Although he was a little upset and interrupted his thoughts, Chen Yu quickly got off the upstairs and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Heimutong.
Hei Mutong, who appeared in front of Chen Yu, was wearing a light-colored wool coat, holding a handbag in his hand, and stood in front of Chen Yu's door with a bit restrained attitude.
"I have written the lyrics about that song, so I specially want to show it to you." Kuroki Hoshi told Chen Yu that she had come to visit, but her expression always made people feel that this was just an excuse.
