#581 - Chapter 581: GDP growth in 2001 tripled! Postponed announcement? The Strategic Research Insti
The law is the bare minimum of morality.
Starting from the end of the year before last, after a series of revisions from the criminal law to the public security administration regulations, China has become a harmonious place.
Has the quality of people improved?
No!
It's because corporal punishment is very deterrent.
It's a real beating!
Really hurts!
The kind where you can only sleep on your stomach for a month or two!
The popularity of Skynet and the Seagull system has greatly deterred crime.
Of course, the core of social harmony and stability lies in the substantial improvement of the economy.
People have money.
Who would steal or rob?
Who doesn't cherish the good life now?
Originally, although investments in various fields brought massive job opportunities, they were still limited.
Now it's different!
From small appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners.
To heavy industrial products such as tunnel boring machines, dredgers, and gantry cranes.
These cores are where the bulk of the profits lie.
With high corporate profits, and given the state of labor shortages, how can employees be recruited?
Raise prices!
Compared to last year, the salary for the same job has increased by at least two times this year, otherwise, don't even think about recruiting anyone!
The whole of China is thriving.
This is exactly what Chen Hao was looking forward to!
Unfortunately...
In just a few months, the country has undergone earth-shattering changes, but as the creator of all this, he doesn't have time to take a look—he is leading a group of scientists to tackle key problems.
...
Southwest Sea.
The old man is in a meeting.
From social atmosphere to economic development, everything is improving, but the external environment is very bad.
When we were weak, the top management was very happy as long as they developed the atomic bomb and were not subjected to nuclear blackmail by the neighbor next door.
Now.
China is in its heyday.
Under the instigation and support of North America, the Bear, which poses a threat to China, makes the top management feel like they have a bone stuck in their throat.
When I am weak, I only ask to be able to protect myself.
When I am strong, I cannot tolerate the slightest threat!
No way around it.
The China of decades ago was barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes.
Now, not only are we wearing shoes, but also high-end leather boots—the Bear is barefoot.
Large land area!
The world's number one nuclear arsenal!
Close proximity!
The three points added together, even knowing that the Bear wouldn't dare, still can't help but worry.
"When will that anti-nuclear weapon equipment be completed?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Not sure," the old man shook his head.
"How about... letting Commander Chen participate in the research and development? The speed will definitely be faster!"
"No!"
The old man flatly denied: "He knows the priorities better than you and me! What he is fully researching must be the most important thing. Although Tsarist Russia makes us uneasy, everyone knows—they don't dare to act!"
Nuclear deterrence is worrying, but it is not so urgent.
On the contrary, North America has the right to speak on the Internet and really dares to cut it off when necessary!
Tap, tap, tap!
The old man tapped the table: "How do you all think last year's GDP should be reported?"
This is one of the core topics today.
Last year.
The Statistics Bureau gave a secret report.
Given Chen Hao and the country's huge investments in countless fields, bringing massive job opportunities, the GDP growth rate in the first half of the year was 237%.
It is estimated that the annual growth rate will be at least 250%!
As a result, in the second half of the year, the brain-computer interface was developed.
Technology exploded!
In the second half of the year, a large number of high-tech products came out, and China began to reap the world!
Although countless products were launched starting from the fourth quarter.
Moreover, the initially launched ones were only those with relatively low technological content.
But in the end...
Because of the soaring in the fourth quarter, driving the annual GDP growth rate, it finally reached 298%—far exceeding expectations!
That's right!
Annual growth as high as three times!
The Statistics Bureau further made predictions.
Given that a series of products were only launched in the fourth quarter, and more technologically advanced parts have not yet been developed, and the launch will be postponed—in short, the current product chain is not yet complete.
This year.
That is, 2002.
Maintain at least 300% growth!
What concept is this?
In Chen Hao's previous life, the GDP in 2000 was 10 trillion Chinese yuan, and the GDP growth he led in this life in 2000 was deliberately hidden by the country—the real GDP in 2000 was nearly 11 trillion.
Less than 10% growth doesn't seem like much?
Subsequently, start a surge!
In the previous life, the GDP in 2001 was 11 trillion.
In this life...
Soared to 43 trillion!
Exceeding the data of the previous life in 2010!
Once such an increase is announced to the outside world, countries hostile to China will definitely go crazy, right?
North America has a trump card.
The international situation is very hot, and we can't stimulate them anymore.
So...
How much is appropriate to announce?
"Reporting too low, North America won't believe it either."
"That's right! We have already monopolized the market for most high-tech products, and the profits are so high... North America won't know?"
"We might as well report a higher increase than the actual increase and let them be confused!"
Several old men expressed their opinions.
Suddenly!
General Wang ran in, leaned close to the old man's ear, and said something in a low voice.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said loudly: "Announce that because the situation is special this year, the GDP will be postponed to the end of February!"
The other people looked at each other.
Postponed?
North America still controls most of the global media and public opinion.
If China announces it later, those guys will definitely act up and find various reasons to smear us.
"Xiao Wang, tell everyone!" The old man smiled.
"Commander Chen has given the go-ahead!"
General Wang took a step forward: "The research and development has entered the final stage and will be fully completed in the near future, destroying North America's trump card—at the latest by the end of February!"
Now.
It's the end of January!
...
Ten days later.
A certain Kuaishou live broadcast room is overcrowded.
Zhang Zhong is live streaming.
In the past few months, with the nationwide labor shortage, the increase in wage levels has been extremely alarming, and the second batch of industrial parks has been completed...
First of all, the shipment of smartphones has greatly increased.
Secondly.
People have money in their hands.
Even if they can't afford Chuangshiji's, they can afford Huawei's mid-to-low end, right?
The number of smartphone users has grown exponentially.
The number of users of various software has also skyrocketed.
That's right!
How could the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room have reached more than two million a few months ago?
"We are wronged! Originally, we were friends with Tsarist Russia, but they followed the United States. Who can we reason with?"
"North America has advanced technology and controls the global Internet and countless public opinion media."
"In short..."
According to the instructions from above, the Strategic Deception Bureau has been very busy recently.
Various shows of weakness.
Various acts of cowardice and pitifulness, posing as innocent victims.
Suddenly!
Halfway through the live broadcast.
Zhang Zhong's other phone rang.
"Friends in the audience, I'm sorry, I'll take a call first."
He disappeared from the video and went to answer the phone.
More than two million viewers waited.
Five minutes later.
Zhang Zhong returned to the camera with a face full of apology: "Well... I have something urgent and have to end the broadcast. If you have time, you can watch Professor Ai's live broadcast next door—yes! He's on air!"
