It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 447 Life is often so unpredictable
If the bloggers were using videos to record their feelings while waiting for the robot to pick them up, then when they were waiting for the press conference to start, they were all posting frantically on Weibo:
"Whether it is using robots to carry passengers or Volkswagen's classic Jetta model, we can say that Volkswagen is very sincere this time, because they can be said to have tried every possible way to use all the elements that may cause heated public debate.

Jetta is not only the car used by Guangjia Aerospace's HBM robot when it roams the streets of Shenhai, but also a classic model in Volkswagen's history.

After it was launched in Europe in the 1970s, it was quickly introduced to the world by Volkswagen and has remained popular as a classic model.

The good thing about veteran car reviewers is that, although their understanding of technology may not be as deep as that of young people, they can talk about the history of some older car models.

"I can clearly feel that Volkswagen is paying tribute to the past, and using the robot driving model to tell the outside world that I have a sense of innovation.

There is a sense that history and the future are interacting at this moment, especially since this location is in Seoul.

The special location, the special product form, the special format, all combined together, I think it is really amazing.

There has never been a car brand launch event that I look forward to as much as the one held by Volkswagen today.”

Volkswagen's press conference has attracted a lot of attention on the hot searches on the simplified Chinese Internet, similar to what the blogger said, a special location plus a special product.

Over the past few years, Chinese car users have become accustomed to this. The new technology was first released by China's new energy vehicle companies. The market response was so enthusiastic that everyone felt that cars at this price should have such configurations. Only then did the major traditional joint venture brands follow suit.

Therefore, in the minds of Chinese consumers, traditional joint venture brands are synonymous with technological conservatism, but they are not entirely technologically backward.

This time, the first generation of mass-produced HBM robots was actually launched by Volkswagen Group, which is a new thing for Chinese consumers.

"Volkswagen has also reaped the benefits of cooperating with Chinese companies."

"Volkswagen is smart enough to sell itself to China in time and know that only by being deeply tied to China can it save itself, unlike Japan's auto companies which are so rigid."

"After all, Volkswagen has been cooperating with China for so many years, so it is still very flexible."

"It is said that Volkswagen has given enough, so much so that a few Audi models of this generation will have the side logo of Guangma Aerospace. I immediately wanted to buy it, but unfortunately my wallet does not allow it."

“Honestly speaking, these Chinese tech giants are too ruthless.

If they hadn’t been so ruthless and hadn’t driven the price of driverless taxis so low, the price of HBM robots would actually be appropriate and they could be purchased as productivity tools.”

“Forget it. No matter how much the HBM robot is priced at, it is purely a toy for rich guys and cannot be an investment tool for ordinary families.

You can only buy one at most, but big manufacturers buy in the tens of thousands and can negotiate very low prices with the general public.

How do you compete with others? "

"Volkswagen has finally come to its senses, thinking of holding a press conference in Seoul."

"Nonsense, you've never eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run. Many of their executives have personally experienced the merger of East and West Germany. It's natural that they can attract attention by hosting a commercial event."

Overseas, on Twitter, Germans and Japanese are arguing fiercely, with the French fanning the flames.

Because Japanese car companies also wanted to have a piece of this cake, but Volkswagen got there first, and with the gimmick of "slowly", Japanese netizens mocked German companies on Twitter for being dogs for China, while German netizens mocked Japanese car companies for waiting for slow death. The last Optimus Prime of Japanese car companies, Toyota, died in the past few years.

In short, the two sides were arguing fiercely.

This is also due to the fact that few Koreans use Twitter, otherwise they would have to join the battle.

Korea's social media ecosystem is somewhat similar to that of China, with monopolistic local Internet companies. Koreans mainly use Kakao Talk and NAVER, the former being a chat software and the latter a social media plus a search engine plus a portal website.

The Korean government's support for local enterprises and national character have jointly led to this result. They are also the only country that has both a local monopoly Internet industry and is within the American sphere of influence.

Kakao's stock price has soared by more than 50%. Tencent holds about 10% of Kakao's shares. They invested in Kakao in 12 with only 4 million RMB, and now the market value has exceeded 1800 billion RMB.

Germany and Japan are quarreling because their pillar industries are in direct competition, and Volkswagen and Toyota have been engaged in a widespread war around the world in the past five years.

Because most of the market size in the Chinese market has been swallowed up by Chinese domestic car companies, and Chinese car companies are also constantly attacking overseas markets, under such high-intensity competition, Volkswagen and Toyota are both thinking about grabbing each other's cake.

As Europe's independence and autonomy increased, relations between Germany and Japan deteriorated sharply due to the direct economic confrontation between the two countries.

As for the French adding fuel to the fire, anything that could make the Germans uncomfortable was easy for the French to do.

"Mr. Wen, Guangjia Aerospace plans to develop business in Goryeo in the future. The first step here must be to find a place to stay, so I plan to buy some properties. Do you have any commercial real estate companies with good service attitude that you can recommend?" Sitting next to Lin Jia was Wen Zhengren.

Moon Jeong-in was one of the operators of the Goryeo operation this time. Thanks to the smooth success of the event, his power in the Blue House increased greatly, and he was even regarded as a shadow president by some international media.

After listening to this, Wen Zhengren felt that the other party's sense of smell was too sensitive, but then he thought again, as the president of Guangjia Aerospace, she has been ranked in the top five of the Forbes Women's Power List in recent years, so it is not surprising that she has such a sense of smell.

It is normal for housing prices to plummet after turmoil.

Seoul’s housing prices had collapsed once before due to excessive leverage and economic downturn. After this round of turmoil, housing prices have ushered in a new round of decline.

Many Koreans are willing to sell their houses and immigrate to the Maple Leaf Country or America even if it means losing money.

It’s the same logic as why a lot of people from Hong Kong ran to their dream motherland England.

Under such circumstances, real estate prices in Seoul have fallen to the bottom, and residential, apartment and commercial properties are facing a trend of total collapse.

Financial markets were also depressed.

The entire situation reveals one signal: Goryeo is finished.

Of course, American Hayek is behind this. This must be taught a lesson to all countries that attempt to engage in sneaky cooperation with Laos and China.

Especially Japan, if you want to launch such a surprise attack against the Chinese, although America will not do anything personally, it can easily make things difficult for you in the capital market.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a deliberate suppression, and a lot of capital is frantically buying up the current Goryeo assets. This is a good news at the level of a nuclear bomb. Wall Street institutions are bearish on all Goryeo-related data, from government bonds to the Goryeo securities market to the credit rating of the country, and have given extremely poor evaluations.

They even downgraded Goryeo's national credit rating every now and then in order to suppress Goryeo's asset prices.

Looking at the actions of Wall Street capital, they are all bottom-fishing and frantically buying valuable assets in Korea.

Moon Jeong-in saw it very clearly in the Blue House, but he couldn't and had no way to explain it to the people. He knew that it was not only Wall Street capital that was bottom-fishing, but Chinese capital was also frantically bottom-fishing.

Now hearing what Lin Jia said, I immediately know that the other party must also want to get a piece of the pie, so let’s share it.

It's just a piece of commercial real estate, nothing special.

"I'm not sure either. I'll give you the contact information of the chairman of Hanwha Group. I'll ask my secretary to introduce you to him. I believe Hanwha Group will be able to find the right commercial property for you at the right price."

Wen Zhengren not only wanted to give the other party a share of the pie, but also wanted Hanhua to cut the price, which had already reached the bottom, and sell it to Guangjia Aerospace.

If you want to do favors, you have to do it properly, and Wen Zhengren is very clear about this.

Li Xinyin, who was sitting next to them, heard their conversation and recalled their conversation in the hotel the night before.

While in the hotel, Lin Jia mentioned to her that he wanted to buy a commercial property in Goryeo.

“Buying commercial property in Seoul now?”

“Of course, the price is right now, and Seoul will be the center of the entire Korean Peninsula in the future.

Think about it, Seoul has developed to this point even though there were missiles pointing at it 180 kilometers away. Now there will be no obstacles for Seoul to develop into a metropolitan area similar to Tokyo. If not buy now, when?
Foreigners cannot buy property in Seoul unconditionally, otherwise I would recommend that you consider buying a house here as an investment.

I have already told my father that he can consider buying some commercial real estate investments in Seoul in the name of the group."

"But aren't many experts saying that China will lose its original position in the European and American trade system and its development will plummet?"

“Forget it, domestic financial experts only do one thing, which is to translate articles from Western media such as Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. into Chinese.

The better ones will summarize the arguments and express them in their own words, while the worse ones will just copy them verbatim.

Goryeo had long lost its position in the European and American trade system. It was because of the loss of this status that the former was the cause and the latter was the result, rather than the former being the result and the latter being the cause.

How does it lose something it didn't have?
Furthermore, for Goryeo, the development plan is enough for them to develop rapidly for ten years.

The investment opportunities are here. Without relying on foreign capital, Goryeo's own accumulation is enough. The voices on the Internet are all noise, trying to interfere with you.

Take the so-called law for example. The Anglo-American legal system was once praised by a group of people as if it were a god or a magical weapon. Once you have this magical weapon, you will be invincible in any field.

They said that Hong Kong had lost this sacred artifact and was about to decline.

In fact, India also follows the Anglo-American legal system, and Baiyue is exactly the same as China. Why is it that India always prevents foreign investment from leaving, withholds foreign investment profits, and even directly confiscates your factories, while Baiyue has no such thing?

In recent years, Baiyue's overseas investment has also been higher than that of India.

What experts say online is all noise, especially those in the humanities and social sciences. Most of them just repeat things without thinking.

Do you know what they said about Chinese scholars in the humanities and social sciences when I was at Columbia University? "

"Just follow the crowd? Go with the flow?"

“No, no, no, these are Chinese contexts, you wouldn’t say that in an English context.

They say that most of the research done by Chinese scholars is derivative scholarship, which is a simple expansion or repetition of the research of others.

This is the case in the academic field, and this group of scholars' statements on public social media are even more so.

Especially when it comes to commenting on current affairs, Western theories are directly applied to tailor Chinese facts.

If the facts do not match the theory, then the facts must be wrong. How can my Western theory be wrong? It must be your Chinese reality that is wrong. "

“Speaking of this, I heard something interesting. There are rumors that experts on the Goryeo issue worked together as a think tank to formulate this plan, and the New York Times even gave a detailed list.

Because these experts are experts on Goryeo issues and they disappeared collectively for a period of time.

Then, based on this list from the New York Times, all developed countries concentrated on confiscating the overseas assets of these experts and banned them and their families from entering the country.

Many children of experts in America, Maple Leaf Country, and Kangaroo Country were driven back.”

This is real.

If Americans can’t do anything about the Chinese, how can they do anything about these experts?

None of these experts escaped, and under the leadership of America, they and their families were not allowed to enter the country.

They enjoy a good reputation on the Simplified Chinese Internet. Old Chinese netizens feel that they had previously wronged the experts in the humanities and social sciences. They did not expect that there are experts like you who are thoughtful, principled, and courageous!
Even though these experts have assets and children in America, older Chinese netizens helped explain that this is normal.

Several scholars whose assets were mostly in America committed suicide by jumping off a building as they could not accept the heavy losses.

So sometimes the world's joke happens to you, and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. You gain fame but are completely expelled from your own ideal country.

The waiting period passed quickly, and Lin Jia was the first to take the stage at the Volkswagen press conference, giving an opening commentary for the press conference:
"Good evening, everyone. It's actually hard for me to imagine that I would be holding a product launch in English for a German company in Korea."
