The mourning Sandy arrived at the newspaper office on foot, crying. Many people in the newspaper office were also hit by the recent social unrest, and their emotions were depressed. Because they understand that the current situation is caused by their newspaper, but the result is not what they want to see.
The readers of Christian Science Monitor are mostly elites, and they are a newspaper issued to the top and high society in the United States. There are not many newspaper staff, but they always insist on having their own views, and they must naturally analyze and report on the current social unrest.
"Sandy." The editor-in-chief called Sandy in the past. "Many people in the current turmoil have put forward the idea of boycotting the rabbit completely, and they should be sanctioned from various aspects such as politics, military and economy. You go to interview some Authorities, I need in-depth reports and insights in this regard. "
Sandy took over the task. He collected materials from government officials and scholars by telephone, mail, or personal visits. The conclusion drawn is ‘comprehensive sanctions or whatever, that are all means of playing against weak countries. For a big country like rabbits, economic means is the only way. ’
As for the economic boycott, a few years ago, an American reporter wrote a report that does not use rabbit-made commodities within a year. The conclusion is that all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are very difficult. If you do n’t buy rabbit products, your living expenses will skyrocket.
And today, is America ’s dependence on rabbit products deepened?
The results of the preliminary investigation made Sandy very happy ... At present, in the US market, among the various products of clothing, food, housing and transportation, ‘rabbit manufacturing’ has actually experienced a significant ebb. For example, in terms of clothing, Vietnamese manufacturing has begun to occupy a large market.
Southeast Asian, Latin American, and African companies have developed greatly in the past decade, and rabbits have many rivals in low-end commodities. The United States can still buy a lot of American goods in terms of food and clothing.
U.S. agriculture is developed and basically fresh food and food are produced domestically. The food processing industry is also manufactured locally, and even many Chinese supermarkets known for their low prices and Vietnamese supermarkets are selling American products. Daily necessities and furniture items are all made in the United States.
Among the world's top 500, American companies also have a huge advantage. Apple, HP, IBM, Cisco, GM, Ford, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Boeing, Locke Sid, DuPont, 3M, Johnson & Johnson. These super companies are still extremely powerful and make huge profits.
Sandy wrote in his article: "Many economists and business leaders believe that the manufacturing industry in the United States is still on the rise. It is not a rebound after the previous economic crisis, but a structural long-term Leading.
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 has given us more choices. So there is no rabbit manufacturing, we can use other countries' products to substitute. "
After writing this report, Sandy himself felt very happy. He felt that he had broken a certain spell, and a long-held view was no longer correct. Times are different. Without rabbits, the lives of the American people will not get worse.
After writing the manuscript, Sandy intends to do some finishing touches and send it to the editor. Before that, he decided to go out for a big meal to ease the tension in the past few days. To this end, he even hooked up a female editor of the newspaper office for dinner. At the table, he inevitably mentioned the work he had just completed.
"Oh ..., you mean we don't need to panic about the country on the other side of the earth?" The female editor seemed interested in Sandy's opinion and asked with a smile.
"Of course." Sandy teased some of his own survey data and interview materials. "Rabbit has always claimed to be a developing country. I think we need to be alert to them, but there is no need to panic. We are still this The best country on earth. "
"Really?" The female editor grinned. She used a fork in her hand to roll up a piece of bacon in her dinner plate and asked, "Do you know Smith Field Food Company in the United States?"
"What?" Sandy was dumbfounded. As a trainee reporter, he didn't really know any food companies.
Looking like Sandy is stupid, the female editor opposite has the happiness and interest of "being a teacher". She continued: "Smith Field Foods has four hog factories, more than 800,000 breeding pigs, and 40 pork processing plants, with an annual slaughter of more than 15 million heads."
"Oh ... it's amazing." Sandy could only exclaim, "This must be our American company, right? I know we are the best."
"Smith Field Food Company 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. Express helplessness.
"Ah ..., this sounds terrible." Sandy also stirred the bacon in his plate. I just thought it was good, but now it tastes like chewing wax.
Americans also have a sense of honor. In fact, it takes a lot of cohesiveness and a sense of identity to blend in a big country. When the American flag fluttered all over the world, Americans were proud and humorous, able to accept criticism from outsiders and willing to help others.
And now ... Sorry, the glory of the victory of the Cold War lasted only ten years, and everything changed. Sensitive, suspicious, restless, these new traits appear to Americans. The United States is still strong, but it is increasingly unable to cope with many challenges.
Many people feel that only rabbits in this world do not accept American values. Don't be funny, there are more countries that do not deal with Americans. For example, was n’t it the 'Opek' that reinvented the old beauty in the Middle East? So don't think that the whole world listens to Lao Mei.
And at the table, the female editor continued to educate: "In the garment 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 the "world market". Its exports and imports have an increasing impact on the world, and even the United States cannot leave the huge demand of the 1.4 billion people.
And rabbits not only export physical commodities, they are increasingly investing in finance. For example, you want to ask me to go to a movie later, right? The AMC cinema line we are going to, and the films made by Legend Pictures, are no longer made in the United States. "
Sandy was shocked, "They have also been acquired by the rabbit company?"
"This is news from many years ago." said the female editor.
"Fuck!" Sandy could not help but scold, "A developing country actually came to buy our big company, what kind of developing country is this?"
The female editor smiled and said, "Do you think rabbits will only do some gadgets like clothing, food, toys, etc.? People have not focused on the development of such a LOW industry for a long time. Now even the British are looking for rabbits to repair nuclear power plants , There are fewer and fewer things they can't do in this world.
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 commodities to the United States, so American standards will naturally prevail in the world.
But now a larger market is taking shape in the East. I believe that in another ten years, we will ask for rabbits. America ’s biggest mistake is probably to feel that rabbits are kind and bully. Just like you think now. "
It's really a picture of Tucson!
