"Now you know who's better at bluffing, right?" "He dares to spout nonsense without knowing anything," Lin Ge said. "He's obviously trying to scam you. Once you believe him, you'll suffer a huge loss. Leave my brother here and toss me out to report the news. The money you'll get will be more than a few hundred million. You can even get a few billion."
Who doesn't know how to spout nonsense?
Anyway, these people are easy to bluff. If you don't know how to bluff in the United States, you will not be able to survive.
In fact, many people understood that if they wanted to do well in the United States, they had to rely on bluffing. This was a country that "established a country by bluffing." Whether it was to their own citizens or to other countries, they had perfected the essence of the word "bluffing".
If the United States sells crutches, their sales will definitely be higher than their own mountains.
It is not without foundation that the United States is good at bluffing. Think about the US dollar. This is the world's biggest Ponzi scheme directed by the United States!
Many years ago, no country was aware of this problem, and it was only in recent years that this problem was slowly exposed. Almost the whole world was involved in the Ponzi scheme of the United States. Everyone slowly lost confidence in the US dollar.
Xu Yun once read a story. It was very true.
A long time ago, the United States was still young. It was a very moral country. He worked very hard and established many very successful businesses. He became abnormally rich and hoarded more gold than anyone else in the world.
However, when the United States began to grow old, it began to forget the values of its youth. It began to make some bad decisions. Some of its "relatives" began to take advantage of it. One of them was a very cunning grandson called the Federal Reserve.
One day, the Federal Reserve brought his banker friend to visit the United States.
What happened next changed the course of the United States forever.
Even though the United States was the richest country in the world, the Federal Reserve still convinced the United States to issue some debt to further improve its standard of living.
The Federal Reserve used its printing machine to print paper money in exchange for the IOUs signed by the United States. Because the paper money was backed by the United States' gold, every country would think that it was valuable.
This way, the United States could use the paper money to buy anything it liked in the world.
After the Americans started doing this, they slowly became addicted to it. The Americans wanted to use paper money to buy all the beautiful things in the world!
The Federal Reserve took the IOUs from the United States and auctioned them off to all the bankers in the world. However, there was a problem here. The IOU signed by the United States had to be returned with interest.
When the time came for the IOU to be returned, the US Empire would not be able to repay the principal and interest. This would cause the US Empire to be unable to buy the things they liked.
Therefore, the US Empire had signed more IOUs than before. That way, the US Empire might have enough paper money to repay his debts. As time continued to pass, this pattern continued to repeat itself!
The United States continued to borrow more and more money to pay off its old debts.
At the same time, because the banknotes used by the United States were backed with gold, the rest of the world decided to use the banknotes of the United States to conduct bilateral trade.
This made the United States the biggest beneficiary, because the rest of the world became very willing to exchange all kinds of resources and goods for the United States' gold backed banknotes.
However, in the end, the rest of the world began to suspect that the amount of gold backed banknotes issued by the United States might have far exceeded the amount of gold held by the United States!
This caused the smart countries to sell their US dollars and start to buy gold instead.
At this time, the United States did not have enough gold to support its banknotes, and this mechanism began to collapse. Under such circumstances, the United States Empire announced that its banknotes were no longer backed with gold.
However, it insisted that the world should continue to use US dollars, because the United States Empire was still the richest country in the world, and every country should believe in the United States Empire's promise.
In the end, the rest of the world continued to trust the United States Empire, although the United States Empire's US dollars were different from before.
When the United States Empire became more and more greedy, it began to issue IOUs indiscriminately, and it spent money at a speed that no one could have imagined. The great business that the United States Empire had built when it was young began to decline, but at the same time, the United States Empire began to buy more and more things from all over the world. The amount of things it bought was much more than what it sold!
Other countries were happy to accept the United States Empire's banknotes because they could use its banknotes to conduct bilateral trade. However, the amount of US Empire's banknotes piled up like a mountain had actually exceeded the needs of the trade.
Because they were not sure how the mountain of banknotes should be used, other countries began to lend their US dollars to the United States Empire.
In the end, the United States Empire owed trillions of US dollars to many countries around the world. Even if the value of these US dollars depreciated at a rate of 10% every year, the United States Empire could still persuade other countries around the world to lend to the United States Empire at an interest rate of less than 3% per year!
Now, the amount of debt owed by the United States Empire had increased by five thousand times compared to when the Federal Reserve first approached the United States Empire and proposed this terrible plan!
The United States Empire now owed all its creditors more than ten or even twenty trillion US dollars! At the same time, the United States Empire also made a payment promise worth more than two trillion US dollars in the future. Even a fool would know that this promise would never be fulfilled.
On the other hand, the value of the banknotes printed by the Federal Reserve had always been less than 5% of the United States Empire's IOUs. The United States Empire became more and more worried. Many countries were warning it that the entire system was about to collapse.
If the United States Empire admitted how fraudulent its current financial arrangements were, then the entire world would refuse to supply goods to the United States Empire in exchange for banknotes. At the same time, the entire world would not provide financing to the United States Empire at such a low interest rate.
If the entire world lost confidence in the United States Empire's US dollars and stopped using them, then the United States Empire would be finished. Moreover, the United States Empire had so many lazy people who were "rescued" and "raised". This was a blow that the United States Empire could not bear.
During the year of the Beijing Olympics, the financial crisis in the United States Empire almost caused the financial system that the United States Empire relied on to collapse. The desperate United States Empire could only turn to the Federal Reserve for help.
Then, the Federal Reserve began to print banknotes on an unprecedented scale out of thin air. The Federal Reserve hoped that the entire world would not notice what it was doing.
This seemed to work in the short term until an even more serious financial crisis came. The United States Empire began to issue a large number of IOUs again. The Federal Reserve also began to print a large number of banknotes in an attempt to fix the system. However, their desperate attempts to keep the system operating were ultimately futile.
Now, countries all over the world began to realize that they were involved in a huge Ponzi scheme designed by the United States Empire and the Federal Reserve. All countries slowly began to lose confidence in the US dollar.
Over the years, no one wanted to lend money to the United States Empire at such a low interest rate. Many countries also began to ask the United States Empire to pay more banknotes in exchange for goods they wanted.
This was the reason why the lives of many ordinary people in the United States Empire had plummeted. Because the United States Empire no longer had the ability to circulate the US dollar around the world, the United States Empire could no longer spend as extravagantly as before.
In fact, the United States Empire had fallen into a deep depression because the system it had built was constantly disintegrating.
The United States Empire used to be the richest country in the world. However, it was now about to become a bankrupt and exhausted country. One had to know that the United States Empire was shouldering a terrifying amount of debt.
If the United States Empire fell one day, the world would not sympathize with it. This was because many countries in the world would celebrate the fall of the United States Empire.
Right now, the United States Empire had not fallen yet. Everyone was living in this huge Ponzi scheme. Those who had US dollars in their hands should quickly throw them away.
Think about it. 30 years ago in Hua Xia, one US dollar could be exchanged for eight RMB. Ten thousand RMB could be exchanged for eighty thousand RMB. Eighty thousand RMB could be exchanged for any three rooms in the Third Ring Road.
Today, 30 years later, one US dollar could be exchanged for six RMB. Ten thousand RMB was sixty thousand RMB. Sixty thousand RMB could only buy half of a small toilet in the Third Ring Road. Excluding the soaring prices in Hua Xia, the US dollar was depreciating very quickly.
If they did not hurry up and get rid of the US dollars in their hands, they would be the ones who would be cheated.
The United States Empire was so good at bluffing. Therefore, if they wanted to survive in the United States, they had to be better at bluffing.
Today, Lin Ge would be able to fool these black people with his lies.
