Blackstone Code Chapter 82: Culture is an invisible knife
When the economy goes backward, people's spending power will become a joke. After the income decreases, there will be 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 the abortion rate, goes down the same way as the economic index does during a recession.
After the recession, people have fewer opportunities for entertainment. Because of unemployment at home for a long time, the demand in certain areas has begun to flourish, so newborns will become part of the wave, which will continue to impact these already Families that are already crumbling, and 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 even take the initiative to break the law to seek entry into prison. Eat free meals.
In this 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 a channel to exchange rewards through labor equivalent, and their money will be drained bit by bit in the process of maintaining a living, and this money will flow into the hands of capitalists. Start to breed and 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 quietly flourish, and the rise of these industries is actually related to the form of society.
For example, discount stores and retail, and some wholesale markets, these industries will become hot, people's consumption must be planned, they must spend every penny carefully, including the middle class , they can't enjoy the fun and class differentiation brought by wealth as much as they used to.
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. , caress about.
Industries related to agriculture will also have a certain degree of improvement. In fact, many families have begun to grow some edible food near their residences to supplement their families. If it is not for livestock and poultry breeding within the city limits, these people are afraid Even cattle have been raised.
Among the investment projects of many foundations, the proportion of funds flowing to agriculture and animal husbandry is much higher than in previous years. In fact, investment banks and funds are more sensitive to changes in the market, and the proportion of their investment in agriculture and animal husbandry is about the same. The future economic trend can be seen.
If there will be obvious economic development in the future, they will invest their money in appropriate industries 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 will bring Yes, but many people always ignore this issue.
Tobacco, alcohol, and the entertainment industry will also grow rapidly.
Cigarettes and alcohol can make people forget their sorrows temporarily, and the entertainment industry can make people forget the pains in life for a short time. If the price of this happiness is not high, people will squeeze out a little money to buy it. hapiness.
In addition, the impending storm will break down the walls of the half-solidified Baylor federal capitalist ruling class, and some artificial thresholds, city walls, will be smashed by the storm, and some less conspicuous industries will become easier access.
Of course, in addition to these, the second-hand market will also have an unprecedented rise, which is why Lynch will form a brand-new, state-wide, specializing in second-hand goods trading and auction company.
He has the right time and the right place. This time, he wants to make a fortune. If there is no accident, after this storm is over, a business genius will rise up here.
Of course, it's a bit redundant to talk about this 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 these You can hear and understand."
The Fox and his son nodded. The business income is like making a movie and selling tickets. The box office is the business office. They continued to look at Lynch, and Lynch raised a second finger and continued to say, "The second part comes from the federal government's subsidy act..."
The Foksu father and son looked at each other. Lynch's statement really aroused their interest. From fearing the federal government to taking up the federal government's job, the two may have been suspected of illegal behavior not long ago. The father and son partner suddenly had an impulse.
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, plus the Federation's independence in the international community (maintaining relative independence, no clear position), It has caused some problems, releasing the pressure of the society, soothing the emotions of the people, and seeking some commonality in the international community have become the important tasks of 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 in the shortest possible time. Foreigner, befriend him?"
Mr. Fox thought about it 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 said, and if we have common topics and even hobbies, we will soon become friends."
Lynch pointed to him, "That's 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 watch a movie from abroad carefully, and even think about what's behind the movie~IndoMTL.com~ 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 form and 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 be open and aboveboard. It is an industry that has a future.”
Lynch said a lot. Mr. Fox was very moved, so was Little Fox. He studied management, not sociology, not financial economics. He didn't understand this, but he thought what Lynch said was very interesting. Makes sense.
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, you will invest in it. ?"
In Mr. Fox's view, if the entertainment industry can really make money, Lynch will never let this opportunity pass.
During this period of time, he has gotten to know Lynch very clearly and deeply. He is a pure businessman. All his actions are to seek maximum profit, including helping him realize the transition from illegal to Legal, these processes of laundering money.
These are all Lynch's efforts to rip flesh and blood on him, but Mr. Fox doesn't dislike this calculation, or Lynch's method.
If he can keep his assets tumbling and doubling, someone like Lynch would be best.
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.
Lynch shrugged, "Why not?"
