Chapter 3481: Catching up with the UK and the US
At this moment, the ratings of "A Date with Luyu" reached the ceiling. Thanks to word of mouth, almost everyone who could watch "A Date with Luyu" at this time chose the TV station 'Phoenix TV', or broadcast "A Date with Luyu" David's video channels of "A Date with Luyu". They all wanted to know how Lin Feng would answer.
Chinese people are paying attention, and foreigners are also paying close attention at this moment. These three questions about Chen Luyu have also been studied by all Western scholars. China's strength seems unstoppable, but what will be the final result? Will the rise of China affect the interests of other countries? Especially those in developed countries. The rise of this country represents a country's massive acquisition of resources. The earth's resources are limited and will inevitably affect the interests of other countries.
Regarding the rise of China, all walks of life in the West have different views, praise and criticism, and no consensus has been reached among them. At this moment, what would Lin Feng, the most successful businessman in China's history, the youngest businessman, a business leader destined to change the world in the future, think about it?
All the spotlights are on Lin Feng. At this moment, according to incomplete statistics, at least more than 1 billion people around the world are watching this live interview show.
Facing all the focus, Lin Feng smiled. Very relaxed, very calm, very comfortable, without a trace of panic or anxiety.
"I think everyone would like to know about these three questions. But personally, these three questions are not easy to answer." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Huh, I'm really going to use official accent! Some Western scholars who were anti-Lin Feng and anti-China immediately ridiculed him. This question is difficult to answer. This is not something you can brag about if you want to. Especially what Chen Luyu was asking was not an official, but a businessman. You have to ask the officials. No matter how much an official boasts, it doesn't matter. His term is only a few years, and he will no longer be in his position after a few years. Therefore, he can face criticism from the outside world calmly.
But businessmen are different. Businessmen have no term limit or election limit. You can keep doing it as long as you want. And Lin Feng is a different businessman. He was so young and so rich. There is also the support of several gentlemen behind the scenes. His words represent an attitude and a trend. Therefore, he didn't dare to brag carelessly. If he couldn't do it, it would be a fatal blow to him. Therefore, all Lin Feng can do is act official. Simulate a conflicting attitude and downplay the matter.
At this moment, it seems that it is indeed the case.
Unfortunately, these scholars underestimated and misjudged Lin Feng. Lin Feng has never been one to be content with the status quo and dare not speak. People who are afraid to face challenges head on.
The conversation changed!
"If you ask others, maybe others will answer you in very official terms. But if you ask me, I will only answer you with the truest thoughts in my heart. Because this is not only related to me,
It also concerns millions of Chinese people. Everyone wants to know when China will become strong. When will you be rich? Nowadays, many Chinese people are not living a satisfactory life. Due to various drawbacks and limitations in the development of the country, many people have a very difficult and painful life. They have been persisting because they are unwilling to give up their lives and themselves. And here, I will give them a reason to continue to persist, a belief to continue to persist. Lin Feng said loudly.
At this moment, the eyes of all Chinese people lit up. Especially those living in poverty have their eyes shining brightly. Life is hard, life is depressing. As a certain philosopher said, life is easy, life is easy, but life is not easy! For the Chinese, life is even more difficult.
"Mr. Lin, do you think China's economy will be generally upward in the future?" Chen Luyu asked.
Lin Feng nodded.
"China's economic development trend is unstoppable. Why do I say this? Because the Chinese are the most industrious nation in the world and the nation most willing to use labor to change their own destiny. Many people will say that the Japanese are the most hard-working nation in the world. The most hard-working nation, but that is not compared with the Chinese. Today, the Chinese work an average of 20 hours of overtime per week (leaving aside Saturdays and Sundays), while Japan only works 13 hours and South Korea only 12 hours. "Excuse me, why can't such hard-working Chinese people live better?" Lin Feng asked.
work overtime! Lin Feng's words resonated with countless Chinese people. Most Chinese people at the bottom of society today have to work about 20 hours of overtime every week, and some are even more exaggerated, even 30 hours. And many departments are open half the year, or even all year round. Such horrific overtime hours are not seen anywhere in the world.
Including countries like Myanmar and Vietnam, which are far poorer than China, it is impossible for them to have such terrible overtime hours. This is why many companies are still willing to invest in China after the wages of Chinese workers have increased significantly. Because Chinese workers are willing to work overtime just to make money and change their lives.
"Okay, let's not talk about these digressions. Regarding overtime, if we talk too much, it will arouse the disgust of many people. And if you want to change, this cannot be changed overnight. It will not take a short time to discuss it. It can be solved internally. I don't mind analyzing it with you here, but today is not the right time. We will talk about this issue when we have the opportunity in the future." Lin Feng turned the topic to the topic.
"The first question is, when will China become the world's largest economy? According to last year's ranking, China ranked fifth in the world with a GDP of 2 trillion US dollars, only behind the United States, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. Based on my personal experience and research in business, I predict that in 2008, China will surpass Germany and become the world's third largest economy. Of course, many people will definitely ask at this moment why it is surpassing Germany instead of Britain. Because the British economy has seriously declined, while Germany is an emerging economy in Europe. The technology and will of the Germans will make their country the most important economic force in Europe. However, China will surpass Germany and become the world's third largest economy." Lin Feng said loudly, "In the 1950s, our country shouted the slogan of catching up with Britain and the United States. I can assert here that next year, China's economic situation will catch up with Britain and surpass Britain!"
There was applause at the scene. Catching up with Britain and the United States has always been the slogan of all Chinese people in the last century. But it has never been realized. Now, the grand goal of catching up with Britain is finally realized, which naturally makes people happy.
Of course, if we surpass Britain, what about surpassing the United States?
Lin Feng smiled.
"In 2008, we will become the world's third largest economy, and in 2009, we will become the world's second largest economy, surpassing Japan and becoming the world's largest economy after the United States!" Lin Feng said proudly.
Long live China! Someone screamed at the scene. This reality is very exciting and crazy. But when can we surpass the United States? Once we surpass the United States, China will surely become the world's largest economy.
All Chinese people's eyes flickered and waited for Lin Feng's answer.
At this moment, some experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were also waiting for Lin Feng. Originally, they were noncommittal about Lin Feng's answer. Although Lin Feng is the most successful businessman in China's history, Lin Feng is just a businessman after all, and he is not an expert in financial trends. His answer is probably just a good wish at most.
But at this moment, Lin Feng's assessment of China's next three years surprised these experts. Their previous assessment was similar to Lin Feng's. They believed that they would surpass Britain next year and realize their ambition to become the world's third largest economy in 2008. But they got this data because they had countless resources and data, and they got the answer after calculating with extremely tedious mathematical formulas. But Lin Feng said it easily. Moreover, it seems that this question was asked temporarily, and Chen Luyu asked it on a whim.
And Lin Feng answered it easily, and he was confident, obviously he had already known it in his mind. The meaning of this is too terrible. Could it be that Lin Feng had a team to evaluate the relevant data for him? This team is too terrible. After all, no matter how rich Lin Feng is, he can't have the advantages of the state machine they have.
But they are all buried in calculations all day long, and the evaluation can only come up with a rough budget, but Lin Feng got it easily. This is too unacceptable. At least it is unacceptable for them, the experts.
However, most of these experts are experts who are obsessed with research, not those so-called experts in society. They don't have any intrigues. They are only obsessed with research and have simple minds. Since Lin Feng's assessment is the same as theirs, they will accept this reality. Lin Feng has a terrible team that can help him easily figure out the trend of a country.
So, how does Lin Feng's team assess when China will surpass the United States? The United States is now a super economy, far surpassing the following countries. When will China be able to surpass it?
Regarding this question, Lin Feng's face was serious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone must be very curious about when China will surpass the United States. Regarding this issue, I must be responsible and tell you a fact very seriously. In 2005, the total GDP of the world's countries was 14.46 trillion US dollars, Japan was 4.66 trillion US dollars, Germany was 2.73 trillion US dollars, the United Kingdom was 2.27 trillion US dollars, and China was 2 trillion US dollars. The top five countries, excluding the United States, only add up to 11.66 trillion US dollars, which is not as good as the United States. It is not easy for China to surpass the United States!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets on Qidian (m). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
