Chapter 82 - 0082 Culture is a knife with an invisible blade

  When the economy goes backwards, people's ability to consume becomes a joke, and with lower incomes there is less "consumption" in the strictest sense of the word, and more spending that has to be done in order to make ends meet.

  But not everything goes down the same way as the economic indicators during a recession, such as the birth and abortion rates.

  After a recession people become less able to entertain themselves, long periods of time because they are unemployed and at home, and certain areas of need begin to flourish in annoyance, so newborns will be part of the constituent wave that continues to hit these already faltering families, and some of the families that were planning to have children will abort those that would have been born because of the financial woes.

  The fact that the newborn wave and the abortion rate don't conflict is a very interesting point.

  There will also be a significant increase in crime for example, many people will be pressured to go to extremes and begin to engage in criminal behavior to get the necessary basics of life, and some will even actively break the law in order to get into jail for free meals.

  In this stressful, anxious environment, the whole society will appear a kind of morbid situation, at the same time, wealth will accelerate from the bottom of the society upward influx.

  Ordinary people lack the channels to exchange their labor for equal pay, and their money will be drained bit by bit in the process of maintaining their lives, and the money will flow into the hands of the capitalists, and the sense of hatred of the rich will begin to grow and spread in the society.

  Whenever there is an economic recession and a social depression, it is the time for the capitalists to revel.

  However, there are some industries that will quietly flourish, and the rise of this part of the industry actually has something to do with the shape of society.

  For example, discount stores and retailing, as well as some wholesale markets, these industries will become so hot that people will have to spend according to a plan, and they will have to spend every penny wisely, including the middle class, who will not be able to enjoy the pleasures of wealth and class differentiation as they did in the past.

  This is one of the few opportunities for the middle class to engage with the lower strata of society, they won't be driving because it takes money to fill up the tank, they'll be carrying baskets of groceries like they're less likely to shop and be calculating like the average person they're not likely to look at squarely in the eye a lot of the time.

  Sectors related to agriculture will also see a boost, many families have actually begun to grow some edible food near their homes to supplement their income, and if livestock and poultry weren't allowed within the city limits, these people would be afraid that they would already be raising even cattle.

  Among the investment projects of many foundations, the proportion of funds flowing to agriculture and animal husbandry was much higher than the magnitude of previous years. In fact, the investment banks and the fund side were even more sensitive to the changes in the market, and from the proportion of their investment in agriculture and animal husbandry, they could pretty much tell the trend of the economy in the future.

  If the future economy will have obvious development, they will put money in the appropriate industrial or financial areas, when they began to invest in large-scale agriculture and animal husbandry, scaling down other investments, it means that the winter is going to bring, but many people always ignore this problem.

  Tobacco, alcohol, and the entertainment industry, too, will all get a quick boom.

  Cigarettes and alcohol can make people forget their sorrows for a while, while the entertainment industry, can make people forget the pains of life for a short while, and if the selling price of this pleasure is not too high, people will squeeze out a little bit of money to buy this pleasure.

  Coupled with the fact that the coming storm will break down the walls of the already semi-consolidated capitalist ruling class of the Baylor Federation, some of the artificially created thresholds, the walls, will be shattered by the storm, and some of the less eye-catching industries will become easier to enter.

  Of course, in addition to these, the second-hand market will also get a rise like never before, which is why Lynch wants to form a brand-new, state-wide, specializing in second-hand goods trading, auction company.

  He holds the right place and the right time, this time he is going to make a fortune, if nothing happens, after this storm is over, a business wizard will rise up here.

  Of course it was a bit redundant to talk about all of this now, he briefly explained to Fox's father and son roughly, and then talked about another way to make money behind the entertainment industry.

  "The entertainment industry, the entertainment industry that has to do with culture really makes its profit from two parts, on the one hand it's the normal proceeds of business ...", Lynch held up a finger, "... . these I believe you can hear and understand."

  Fox father and son both nodded, the operating income, just like making a movie and then selling tickets, the box office is the business office, they continued to look at Lynch, while Lynch held up a second finger, and also continued, "The second part comes from the federal government's subsidized behavior ... "

  Foxu father and son both looked at each other, Lynch's statement truly piqued their interest, from fearing the federal government, to picking up the federal government's rice bowl, the two father and son partners, who might have been suspected of illegal behavior not too long ago, suddenly had a flash of impulse.

  I just wonder if the federal government's bowl is any good.

  "Society will soon become volatile, a large number of unemployed people will become a destabilizing factor in every city, coupled with the federal government in the international community to "stand alone" (to maintain relative independence, no clear position), has led to a number of problems, the release of social pressure, to appease the public mood, and in the international community to release the pressure, to appease the public mood, and in the international community to release the pressure, to appease the public mood, and in the international community to release the pressure, to appease the public mood. Releasing social pressure, calming public sentiment, and seeking some commonality in the international community have become important tasks for the federal government in the next phase."

  Lynch paused at this point and suddenly asked, "Mr. Fox, if you stand with a foreigner, under what kind of circumstances will you accept this this foreigner and become friends with him in the shortest possible time?"

  Mr. Fox thought for a moment and said, "If our languages are communicative, he knows some of the things I talk about and I know some of the things he says, and we have common topics or even hobbies, we will become friends in no time."

  Lynch pointed at him, "That's a good point about the commonality of cultures, it's rare that we have the time to sit down and carefully read through a book from a foreign country, even if it's a world class classic."

  "But we are able to seriously, carefully watch a movie from a foreign country and even think about what's behind the movie, that's what makes it so special."

  "The entertainment industry can not only help the upper class to appease the lower class to recognize the dissatisfaction of the social form, reduce some of the friction between the class contradiction, but also can be exported to the international level to seek more commonality and recognition, to do these things not only can make money openly and honestly, eat the subsidies of the federal government, and do not need to worry about the retaliation from some interest groups, this is an industry with a future. "

  Lynch said a whole lot, Mr. Fox was very heartfelt, little Fox was also very heartfelt, he studied management, not sociology, not financial economy, he did not understand this, but he felt that Lynch made a lot of sense.

  He looked at Mr. Fox, as if he wanted to make sure of Mr. Fox's attitude, while the latter asked a very direct question, "Friend Lynch, if we followed your advice and invested in the entertainment industry, would you take a stake?"

  In Mr. Fox's opinion, if the entertainment industry could really make money, Lynch would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

  During this period of time together he had gotten to know Lynch very clearly and deeply, this was a pure businessman, everything he did was to seek the maximum profit, including all these processes that helped him to realize the transition from illegal to legal and to launder his money.

  It was all Lynch's effort to rip the flesh from his bones, but Mr. Fox didn't hate the calculation, or Lynch's methods.

  It would be best if he could keep his assets rolling over and doubling, and some more people like Lynch.

  Entertainment was an industry he wasn't too familiar with, and if Lynch really felt that it was a good industry to get into, then he would have invested in it.

  As if he had already seen through Mr. Fox's small mind, Lynch shrugged, "Why not?"
