Chapter 227 When people no longer believe(1/2)
...
"What else do you have to do tonight? Do you do scientific research or something?" Zheng Xiwen asked without directly answering Qiao Yu's question.
Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "Nothing is wrong for the time being."
"Come in and sit in without anything?" Zheng Xiwen invited.
Qiao Yu nodded happily, then followed Zheng Xiwen into the first-floor hut.
When he first came to Yanbei, he also lived here, but after Mr. Yuan took a walk around, he felt that the first floor was not suitable for human habitation, so he moved to the suite upstairs.
But in fact, Qiao Yu always thought that the small suite on the first floor was actually quite warm to live in.
Especially when the bed is placed against the wall, I feel very safe when I sleep.
Moreover, the window is facing the road opposite, and the curtains are opened in a crack. You can see people passing by when you look up. It is also interesting to observe secretly when you are bored.
"By the way, where is that Zhang Mingyu?" Qiao Yu asked as he walked into the room.
After all, there was an assistant last time, so I probably didn’t need to go abroad this time, so I only had a Zheng Xiwen arranged by my side.
"I'm going home for a blind date, and now I should be preparing to get married." Zheng Xiwen replied.
"Huh? Then when he really got married, I'll prepare a big red envelope for him. I don't have time to go to the scene, so you can find someone to deliver it for me." Qiao Yu said immediately.
Qiao Yu was not stingy at all about the person who protected him before.
After all, he wants to be rampant and at least he can do things according to his ideas. These people around him are quite important.
"Haha, okay! Then I will thank you on behalf of Xiao Zhang first." Zheng Xiwen smiled and replied casually.
At this time, Qiao Yu had already walked into the room and found that several computers had been connected to his small suite.
A total of six monitors were installed everywhere, like a miniature command center.
Perhaps for the purpose of cooling, the air conditioner in the cottage has been replaced.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It looks quite professional." Qiao Yu sighed.
"We are now taking over the security work of the International Mathematics Research Center. Not only you, but the project you recently applied for, and all the selected teams of scientists in the future, are among our protection."
Zheng Xi explained in a concise and concise manner.
Qiao Yu nodded in a clear way. It seemed that everyone was serious this time. He thought it was no longer just protection.
"What to drink?"
When Qiao Yu sat on the only two stools in the room, Zheng Xiwen asked.
Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "I just drank two cups of coffee from Professor Schultz, so I don't have to drink anything."
"Oh, you don't seem to have any interest in the stock market and the currency circle?" Zheng Xiwen didn't be polite to Qiao Yu, but instead asked.
Qiao Yu nodded and replied, "I have no interest in things like too many uncontrollable variables."
Zheng Xiwen smiled and said, "Actually, you can also care about these things a little. With your intelligence and talent, it doesn't take much energy to understand these things.
And when you reach your level, it is necessary to understand everything. Materialism believes that everything is related. Of course, I don’t mean to let you trade stocks. It’s just a simple understanding.”
As he said that, Zheng Xiwen operated it casually on the computer, Qiao Yu saw a dazzling green on the two screens in front of him.
"This is the trading data of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange and the European Exchange, and the night trading market. Do you see what do you see?" Zheng Xiwen asked.
Qiao Yu glanced casually and concluded: "The rise of precious metals and energy last night was quite gratifying, and agricultural products also rose a lot. It seems that the money from the currency circle has also found a place."
"yes."
Zheng Xiwen sighed casually, nodded and said, "So now the whole world is waiting for the opening of the US stock market and waiting to see how the US stock market performs today."
Qiao Yu blinked.
"The US stock market will not open until 9:30 pm, and there is still..." Zheng Xiwen looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer and continued, "It's only ten minutes. Let's take care of it today."
Qiao Yu blinked and suddenly realized that the teacher who had taught him how to do safety protection before was about to give him another political and economic class today.
But it doesn't matter.
Although he has no interest in the stock market, it is quite interesting to occasionally see the magnificence of the stock market.
"Do you know what the total market value of the US stock market is?" Zheng Xiwen asked again.
Qiao Yu shook his head, he really didn't care about these things.
"As of yesterday, there was still $59.8 trillion. The peak was $63 trillion that it once reached two years ago. Even though it has fallen a little, it still accounts for 50% of the total global corporate market value."
Zheng Xiwen casually reported a series of data, obviously he was prepared for it.
"Tsk tsk tsk... America is still rich!" Qiao Yu subconsciously expressed a series of emotions.
Sudaily is a market value of nearly 60 trillion US dollars, and if converted into RMB, it will be 420 trillion...
With such a huge market, it is no wonder that the whole world is concerned about it.
This is where hundreds of millions of canal workers eat and wear food.
Qiao Yu really couldn't think of why when he was in Philadelphia, he felt that ordinary Americans seemed to be quite poor.
After all, there are only 300 million people in the United States. If you take out 60 trillion yuan and each person can get 200,000 yuan in stocks.
If it is put in China, it means that the per capita millionaires are all millionaires, and the super financial power is so terrifying!
"Yes, it's really rich. But at the same time, you have to know that just last month, US Treasury bonds have officially exceeded the 39 trillion US dollars mark! This also means that US Treasury bonds have accounted for 106.2% of GDP.
!”
Qiao Yu blinked and suddenly felt that many people in Philadelphia were poor.
This is almost equivalent to an average debt of US$130,000. According to Qiao Yu's shallow understanding of capitalists, if it is a good thing on average, ordinary people will definitely not be able to gain advantage.
But if everyone is a bad thing, ordinary people will definitely not be able to escape. In other words, even if countless ordinary people have nothing to do with this debt, the bitter fruit of these debts will definitely fall on ordinary people in the end.
Such a huge debt scale accounts for more than 100% of GDP, which is something that everyone knows that it cannot be paid off at all.
What is the concept of 39 trillion US dollars in debt?
Qiao Yu remembers that the interest rate on US bonds is quite high, and it is said that the average annual interest rate has reached four points! This is also impossible. The interest rate is not high and you can't borrow money.
This also means that the interest on treasury bonds alone is about US$1.56 trillion. According to roughly calculated 365 days a year, the daily interest is US$427 million!
Qiao Yu suddenly felt that the little money in his bank was really not considered money...
"It is a miracle that the US dollar can still buy things! With more military bases, you can be willful." Qiao Yu sighed.
"It's not just a problem of too many military bases."
Zheng Xiwen smiled, and then said, "As I said just now, the market value of the US stock market is still 59.8 trillion. And it is the market value under the premise that the US industrial system has declined.
This can be seen from the increase in power generation. Last year, China's power generation reached 10.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for more than one-third of the global share, reaching 33.7%.
In the same year, the annual electricity generation in the United States was 4.9 trillion kilowatt-hours, and the global share fell to 15.02%. Although the growth rate of power generation increased year-on-year, the driving force of growth of electricity was mainly due to the power demand brought by AI and data centers.
Non-industrial.”
Qiao Yu nodded.
He knows how much power consumed in the data center.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Just Xiyu Technology's small computer room with only two cabinets, the biggest monthly expense is electricity bills.
Not only does the computer in the cabinet need to consume electricity when calculating, but the power consumed to refrigerate the cabinet and keep the computer in the best state is also large.
Seeing the big picture, the power cost is absolutely a terrifying number for large data centers that provide cloud services and AI computing.
But even so, the annual power generation on the opposite side is less than half that of China.
After Zheng Xiwen finished these words, it was 9:30 pm. Teacher Zheng operated it a few times on the computer, and the screen in front of Qiao Yu directly turned into a market chart of Nasdaq and New Finger.
It is obvious that the Nasdaq is bright and beautiful when it opens, and it feels quite festive just by looking at it.
Of course, this is not good news for the other side. After all, the cultures on both sides are different, so the meaning of colors is also different.
In China, red represents festiveness, but on the opposite side, red represents danger and warning. Therefore, red also represents decline.
Especially those weighted technology stocks that are ranked above seem to have fallen miserably. They all look quite scary...
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... Uncle Zheng, you should have said that the US stock market began to plummet when it opened today has something to do with me, right?" Qiao Yu shrunk his head and asked knowingly.
"I think it really has something to do. After all, according to some experts, what supports the value of the financial market comes from confidence in future development. The opposite side is currently based on technology.
In addition to the military base you just mentioned, most of the confidence in maintaining a high-dimensional stock market value is based on its leading cutting-edge technology."
Zheng Xiwen said with a smile.
"To be honest, I just announced two Mason prime numbers, which can only be considered as finding a way to simulate quantum computing using electronic computers. This is at most a technological breakthrough at the software level.
Look at the ones that show the sharpest declines are Intel and Nvidia, the hardware-making companies. Google is a leading company in researching quantum computing, and they are not as sharp as these two companies!”
Qiao Yu pointed to the screen and said with a striking remark.
Zheng Xiwen smiled and retorted: "Do you think there is a possibility that this is because you announced at the report that the computer room used to calculate Mason's prime numbers is not their most advanced chips?
For example, the winning bidder for the computer room built by Xiyu Technology Company uses Kunpeng chip, right? This is true? The overall network solution of the computer room and the OceanStor storage system are not very related to the latest cutting-edge technologies in the United States.
