Chapter 82 Great Depression (1)

At his feet, there was a small ditch with black water, mixed with garbage, flowing in a lower direction, developing in all directions without restriction

Huang Xuan looked around like a dangerous building, with straw sheds, brick houses and low tube-shaped buildings next to each other

He looked around and saw a scene after an earthquake

If there were not a few black children playing in the distance, he would have thought he was born in Tangshan

"Africa

" Huang Xuan asked Lorraine regretfully

" Eastern Detroit, michigan

Similarity is 91 %

Duration of stay is about 10 days

"" Slums

" Perhaps the slums were more figurative

Huang xuan wiped off the thick leather hat on his head, which contained a small round hat

The Densely woven metal wrapped it around his head and tangled it with his hair

" Yes

" Lorraine answered truthfully," but you should pay attention to the children in front of you

They don't seem friendly to you

" Of course, it was during the great depression in the united states in 1931, when the number of unemployed people was more than 20 %

This problem was even more obvious in the car city, where a large number of skilled workers lost their jobs

Even after ford proposed the five-dollar working system, this scenario would not disappear

The disadvantaged were always the main force in the unemployed army, and the black people of Detroit were no exception

Although they did not frantically place the yellow race in the enemy's camp, the unfriendly atmosphere could be felt in front of the children in front of them

In fact, Huang Xuan's every move was childish, and a few black children felt that his appearance could be deceived and slowly walked over

" I bet his shoes are worth a dollar

" The leader pointed to the nike under Huang Xuan's feet, which was only reinforced with the simplest woven alloy, but the outer leather was still very tough, and it was easy to see that it was a good thing

"50 Cents," another child guessed

There were five of them, and the oldest of them should not be more than 15 years old, but perhaps black people develop faster

He heard their conversation clearly

If he was in the country, he might throw a punch at this guy, then punch him in the eye and tell him that the shoes were worth $ 200

However, he was in a foreign land and unconsciously felt a little worried

He looked around as if he was afraid of an ambush

" My suggestion is to run away now

" Lorraine, of course, did not like to use energy

In the heterotopic plane, the energy consumption was far greater than in the p 112

A few adults around them saw the children's actions, but no one paid attention to them

There were three types of men living in the slums: those who wanted to leave, those who gave up and those who were about to leave

But no matter what kind of person, he or she must try to find a job or work hard every day

Only in this way can he or she have enough bread

Fighting was a common occurrence here

Huang Xuan only needed to look at the children's rough arms and layers of scars to understand that even with his strengthened physique, he still had a low chance of winning against five people

He looked twice and ran helplessly

Even if these five boys were really knocked over, there might be more children coming out

Just think about the brotherhood in the 21st century american neighborhood and you will understand that it is not surprising that two

45-caliber Colt appear when necessary or unnecessary

" Catch up with him

" The children shouted, and huang xuanze ran a kilometer more easily

He was originally on the outskirts of the ghetto, but now he had completely left the community

The black water was still under his feet, and Huang Xuan kicked the floor in disgust, and the splashed stones hit his pants again

" To sell food first

" Huang Xuan habitually asked Lorraine," where is the market here

"" Battelle Crick is the food distribution center in Detroit and the satellite city outside Detroit, but I don't think we can sell enough food

"" Why

" The people Huang Xuan had just seen were all hungry

In this case, the price of food should be higher

Lorraine replied by standard," because it's the great depression

Agricultural products have been depreciating since two years ago

The price of food is often lower than the price of transportation

And no one can afford food

"" Is this the time to pour milk into the river

" Huang Xuan remembered a teacher who told him that at some point in the economic crisis, capitalist countries poured milk and coffee into rivers and seas, and shot cows and sheep into valleys

" That's right

" Lorraine's answer made Huang Xuan feel powerless

15,000 tons of wheat

It would be better to send them back to the sea

In 1929, before the collapse of wall street, the prices of agricultural products in the united states plummeted

The first reason was the price war of the soviet union's timber

After that, the panic began with a bumper wheat harvest that was overgrown in canada, causing the stock market to plunge and the great depression to begin

In a simple way, the more output, the less consumption, and the more wealth, but in the entire capitalist market, the more output, the less consumption, or even the lower, the producer would lower the income, and when the decrease in the income became unpredictable, the factory would stop working

That would reduce consumption again and then expand the crisis

The economic crisis of the whole 1930s was a" great" depression, which was also linked to the frenzied investment of the twenties

Factory owners expanded production, hoping to increase productivity and produce more products, but the results were disappointing

This sense of disappointment could be clearly felt in Detroit

Huang Xuan was slowly walking along the bank of a river that passed through the city

Along the way, not only were there many vagrants, but there were more men with dull eyes, thick and idle

The great depression had been going on for two years, and the immense pressure of life not only caused hunger, but also psychological hopelessness

In the 1980s, the united states had an unemployment rate of 12 % - only half the rate during the great depression - but just look at what americans say today

In those years, they were so scared that they were hurt

" No one wants food

What should we do

" Huang Xuan was almost talking to himself

Most of the supplies they brought were agricultural products and a few handicrafts were used as gifts, but either way, it was the cheapest item of the 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 people on the roadside

If he did not get anything, he would lose all his blood

This was the real loss of blood

Not only did all the supplies need to be discarded, but the energy worth tens of millions of dollars was wasted

If not counting the $ 300 million that was still frozen in the Huang's fund, huang xuan would have to sell his assets if he wanted to enter a new dimension again

To store enough energy, it would not be enough to rely on just a few aluminum smelters

Furans is not yet in the right place, and the amount of energy it can use is pitifully low

It would take a lot of time to buy futures

Thinking of this, Huang Xuan couldn't help but quicken his pace

If Lorraine couldn't help, he could only rely on himself

In the late twenties, Detroit reached its peak

With a population of more than two million, it became one of the four largest cities in the united states

As the backbone of the population, workers had an absolute advantage here

If anyone were to watch an nba game, they would find that the Detroit pistons had always been tough, and people called them bench gangsters - because the Detroit people liked this style, only bad kids would be traded to Detroit to stay in Detroit

The traffic on the street was also permeated with a strong force

Old cars with big horns whizzed past, and when they encountered slow cars, the white or black people in the cars would shout, occasionally making rude remarks

It was a completely unique style

The perception of Detroit far surpassed that of japan

There was a time when The huang family was very interested in the car industry, but of course, they didn't succeed

However, during the one-year verification period, not only Zhang Xinyi, but also Huang Qunsheng was involved

Huang Xuan could hear the name of Detroit from time to time when they were eating together

Detroit was located in the great lakes area, with its back to the detroit river

The natural environment was good, but years of industrial development had begun to destroy it

Huang Xuan strolled by an unknown branch of black water, and the air reeked of garbage

He whispered to Lorraine

" The four major us car companies (General purpose, ford, chrysler, and amerika) are all headquartered in Detroit

If it were now, the production here would be number one

"" That's right

" Lorraine answered with certainty

Shrugging his shoulders, he brushed past the two young men and stopped to look around

Only then did he notice that many of the cars on the street were equally clumsy

" This is

" Huang Xuan pointed to one of them

" The t-shaped car, which used to be the most sold car in the world, made up 57 % of all cars produced by ford before it was discontinued in 1927

"" I know it

" The model t had four bicycle-like tires that entered china after the revolution of 1911

In many films about the great Shanghai, a bodyguard stood at the door of a model t car and watched the surrounding doors

The t-model made ford rise

When other cars sold for $ 3,000, the first t-model only cost $ 850, and five years ago, a t-model only cost $ 260

At that time, the ford factory had already started to pay $ 5 a day, which meant that these workers, It only takes two months'salary to buy a model t car

This was america in the mire of 1931

In fact, he didn't care about the t-car

He was trying to recall what his mother said about ford

Only then did he realize that putting things in his head was more useful than putting them in a database

" Talk about the model t ford

" Huang Xuan had no choice but to ask Lorraine for help, but fortunately there was his excellency the warden

" After shutting down the production line of model t, ford began to develop model a in six months

The results were good

It sold about six million units

In the 1930s, there were v8 and b cars

"" Right here

" Huang Xuan clenched his right hand and hit it on his left hand

" Lorraine, the technology we sell to ford v8 and v-b cars

"" Selling technology is usually prohibited in the plane trade, which will greatly reduce the energy of the buffer zone, and the harvest is less

Usually people should still focus on the material trade

"" Wouldn't killing Napoleon reduce the buffer energy

" Huang Xuan snorted

He was even more dismissive of what Lorraine said was less rewarding, as long as there was some income

Lorraine argued," that's because the first sequence requires

"" Ok

" Huang Xuan pressed his hands and said," ignore your sequence requirements

There is no plane base here

If I sell the technology, I will get the money

You have to buffer the energy

How good is that
