Chapter 909 Brexit
There has always been a mysterious department under the GB system to study big data analysis.
Liu Chen has long been making arrangements for big data and cloud computing.
Cao Zhi, the first batch of god-level academic masters summoned by GB, and a genius in the computer department.
Liu Chen asked him: "Are you ready?"
Cao Zhi smiled shyly, "87% sure."
Liu Chen also smiled, "That's enough."
What is Brexit? Brexit means leaving the EU. On January 23, 2013, British Prime Minister Cameron mentioned the Brexit referendum for the first time.
On January 4, 2015, British Prime Minister Cameron said that if possible, the referendum was originally planned to be held in 2017 in advance.
On May 29, 2015, the British government submitted and published a bill on the "Brexit referendum" to the House of Commons, including statements on the referendum issue, and promised to hold a vote before the end of 2016.
“How is data analysis?”
Cao Zhi gave it to Liu Chen for a look.
Why do the British want to leave the EU?
The first wave of impact brought by this historic event was: the global financial market was turbulent, the safe-haven funds rushed, and many conflicting financial phenomena emerged in a short period of time.
What exactly made the British so angry that they abandoned the EU as if they were worn out.
The easiest level to reach is: those who support Brexit are mostly middle and lower-class British people, those who support staying in Europe are mostly elites, and residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have different beds and dreams with England and Wales.
The mainstream political propositions of European far-right forces are: opposing globalization, European integration, Muslimization, and demanding tightening immigration policies.
Cao Zhi concluded: "Brexit is a cry from the poor."
In other words, in the years since the establishment of the EU, especially since its eastward expansion in 2004, the interests of the lower and middle classes in Western European countries have been the most severely damaged.
Liu Chen asked: "Why is this happening?"
"Because of the 10 poor Eastern European relatives who have joined the EU, the working class has poured into Western Europe in large numbers. Take the UK as an example. More than 1 million Eastern European immigrants have been accepted in 10 years. In the eyes of the lower and middle classes in the UK, Eastern European immigrants have stolen their jobs and applied for a large number of benefits and allowances. However, they rarely spend in the UK and send money back to their hometowns in Eastern Europe. This situation is also common in the Netherlands, Germany, France and other countries."
"It was at this time that the European economy fell into recession. When the cake became bigger, more people would share it, and everyone would not say anything; but when the cake could not grow bigger or even become smaller, the contradictions arise."
Liu Chen looked around and continued to ask: "What about supporting the European Remaining? Polls show that the European Remaining has great advantages."
"In the eyes of the Western European elite, the accounts are not settled in this way. Entrepreneurs and factory owners believe that Eastern European immigration increases the labor supply and reduces corporate costs; while politicians believe that immigration can bring economic growth and easily reflect their political achievements; and the eastward expansion of the EU can squeeze Russia's living space and make Europe safer. In this game of EU expansion and European integration, the rich are richer, the poor are poorer, and they are even forced to compete with Eastern European immigrants to work. Therefore, it is impossible for the poor to not be angry."
Liu Chen nodded and said, "On this level alone, it's too shallow. Our thinking might as well reach the second level: what has globalization brought about, who benefited from the new trade rules, why has the trend of opposing globalization appeared globally in recent years, and why is Brexit-style anger becoming more and more common: it appears not only in the UK, Western Europe, but also in East Asia and the United States."
Another core member of the big data team is Gu Fei, the first group of geniuses recruited and top students from the School of Journalism, with keen observation. She continued: "That's right, Mr. Liu, in recent years, the United States believes that WTO is too many people and it is difficult to achieve any new progress in trade liberalization. Therefore, it is starting a new business, building a new circle of friends such as TPP and TTP around core rules such as negative list system and pre-entry national treatment. In the new trade rules led by the United States, there is a very eye-catching clause: protect the interests of multinational corporations, and even prepare to establish a ruling mechanism that exceeds national sovereignty."
Liu Chen smiled and said, "Can you explain it a little more clearly?"
Gu Fei was very embarrassed, and he had a serious occupational disease. He smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Liu, under the new rules, multinational corporations will achieve global domination! An important reason for the anger of the poor is that there is a winner-takes-all situation in the era of globalization. It is difficult for the poor to turn over under the oppression of the Matthew effect. If the trade rules for multinational corporations to dominate the world under the United States are implemented, not only will the poor be poorer, but the poor country will be poorer, and it will be difficult for them to turn over."
Liu Chen was good at thinking and soon understood, and then said: "When you go deeper and reach the third level: what role has the global monetary policy played since the financial crisis and who is beneficial to it?"
Cao Zhi said: "We have found that the essence of global monetary policy in the past eight years: by borrowing more money to cover up previous debts. It is not that one or two countries are doing this, but that countries around the world are doing this."
"In 2008, when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates and announced the implementation of QE, all countries followed suit. Now that the Federal Reserve has begun to raise interest rates, all countries have to continue to spend money. Many countries have even been forced to implement unprecedented negative interest rate policies. The central bank not only purchases government bonds, but also starts to purchase corporate bonds without bottom line."
Gu Fei responded: "In the past few years, the electronic and virtualization of currency has become increasingly high, and people have less and less cash in hand. This means that the central bank's influence is becoming more and more efficient. When these powers are overused, the global leverage ratio continues to increase. In the era of high leverage and low interest rates, those who dare to borrow money and those who can borrow big money are often the people with the fastest increase in wealth. And the general public is destined to shrink wealth and make ends meet in such an era."
Liu Chen nodded and said, "Although the wave of opposing globalization is getting higher and higher, we must admit that with technological progress, globalization is an irresistible wave, and trade liberalization is also a basic trend."
Gu Fei nodded and said, "The opposition is not going to completely oppose globalization, but oppose unequal opportunities in the era of globalization. In the eyes of poor countries, rich countries occupy more opportunities; in the so-called rich countries like the United Kingdom and the United States, there are also dissatisfied poor people, who believe that the rich people occupy more opportunities. Therefore, there is no dispute in any direction, a dispute in the path, only a dispute in interests. Brexit and staying in Europe are all means, and in the end they can only achieve compromises between all parties through negotiations."
Seeing that they did make complete preparations, Liu Chen smiled and said, "The United States hopes that Britain will stay in Europe and extend its influence to Europe through this firm ally. Then we will use big data to make Britain leave the EU."
Cao Zhi and Gu Fei nodded.
Can only two unknown people decide whether to influence the world's progress or the world's pattern?
Brexit referendum time: June 23, 2016.
The results of the Brexit referendum on June 24, 2016 were announced: There were 382 constituencies. According to the vote counting results of 352 of them, supporters who left the EU were ahead, with a total of 51.9% of the votes, that is, 15.7 million people supported Brexit, while 14.58 million supporters remained in the EU, with a total of 48.1% of the votes.
British Prime Minister Cameron issued a statement announcing his resignation on the same day, saying that the Conservative Party will elect the next British Prime Minister at the October annual meeting.
This is a victory for the poor, and the entire British elite was like a loss of their parents.
On faebook, the American elite collectively mocked the UK.
Success.
Cao Zhi and Gu Fei jumped up excitedly, and Liu Chen, who was standing beside him, was also very happy. America and Shi Tou didn’t expect that, how much will you lose this time?
