Chapter 2288 Reaching the magical country of Greece!
What does 12 times mean?
In 2007, the per capita income in most cities in Daxia was barely over 1000 yuan per month.
A debt that is 12 times the GDP is like a Daxia person earning 1000 yuan a month, but his monthly consumption is 1 yuan!
This terrifying level of debt is unprecedented in the entire human history!
Feng Hongyang couldn't help but complain: "Greece's debt level is so bad, why is it still willing to get involved in the affairs of the hegemonic country?"
Chen Mo responded: "First of all, you have to know that the entire Ou League is frantically borrowing the Hegemony Currency to speculate on subprime bonds. Their currency has long been kidnapped by the Hegemony Currency.
The same is true for Greece.
Secondly, Greece doesn’t actually have much trade with Daxia, so even if the relationship is completely severed, it won’t have much impact on it.”
"Now that the hegemonic country has issued the order, the Greek country will definitely be willing to be the first to jump out and support it in exchange for some benefits."
Ji Longxiang snorted coldly: "It has no impact on Xi country, but it has a very bad impact on our Daxia! It will also have a great impact on you!
If Greece takes the lead and other countries find that they can make profits without any impact, they will definitely follow suit.
By that time, without considering the economic issues, just considering the international impact, your superiors will force you to withdraw.
The Foundation's move is similar to the conspiracy you like to play. If it were me or a madman, even if it told us how the plot would unfold, we would be powerless to change it. "
Feng Hongyang nodded in agreement: "Now it depends on whether you can crack this not very clever but very effective conspiracy."
Chen Mo: "I need to go to Greece to collect some news."
In fact, it is difficult to make Greece bankrupt. After all, it is a country, and a developed country at that. How can it be so easy to make it bankrupt?
But it is also very simple to say.
Even if Chen Mo does nothing now, Greece will file for national bankruptcy due to debt problems in one year and three months.
What Chen Mo needs to do now is to speed up this process.
That day, Chen Mo asked He Chaoling to arrange a flight to Greece.
Accompanying Chen Mo is a team of professional paparazzi from the former Moyuan Entertainment, now Mo Xun Entertainment.
Cai Nong specially selected a group of top paparazzi who wished they could get materials under the bed of the female star under layers of protection and follow Chen Mo to conduct secret interviews and filming.
On the plane, the head of the paparazzi team asked Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, we are very good at shooting celebrity gossip. Even if you want me to shoot what color pants the four young actresses wear today, I can do it for you.
But... the card you mentioned is about the Greek debt problem... We don't understand what it is!"
The other paparazzi also looked at Chen Mo curiously.
Chen Mo first explained the Greek debt problem in common terms, and then said: "Now the whole of Ouzhou has gone crazy. The economic prosperity has caused hedonism to spread in Ouzhou.
Especially the social welfare system, which has become extremely magical.
The most magical of them all is Greece."
"Greece is a country with a large influx of capital, and its tourism and real estate industries are booming. At the same time, Greece's welfare level has leapt to third in the world along with its economic development, and is almost on par with the hegemonic countries.
But you should know that Greece's economic level is only ranked 96th in the world! "
"Greece has 100 million civil servants, but its total population is only 1100 million. All dock workers in Greece are civil servants and receive 14 months' salary a year.
The monthly salary of an entry-level worker is between 3000 and 10000 euros.
It’s only 2008 now, and even the hegemonic countries can’t even reach such a terrifying salary level.”
"And Greece is free from elementary school to university! Medical care is also free for all!"
"Greek law allows civil servants to retire and receive pensions after the age of 40."
"The average retirement age in Greece is 53, which is among the highest in developed countries. And they have up to six weeks of vacation every year."
After hearing Chen Mo's description, all the paparazzi, even He Chaoling, were stunned.
"This is not Greece, this is clearly heaven!"
"That's right, this benefit is really too good!"
"In comparison, the welfare system of our Great Xia has been crushed into rubbish!"
"According to Greek law, I can retire now, haha!"
"..."
The paparazzi started talking excitedly.
After all, it was the first time they heard of such awesome benefits.
Everyone's eyes were filled with longing and yearning.
"It's awesome, but at what cost?"
Chen Mo's light words instantly quieted the paparazzi at the scene.
Yes, even if they don’t understand economics, they still understand simple mathematics.
The economy ranks only 96th, but welfare ranks third; one-tenth of the population is a civil servant; and the salary level of ordinary people is unbelievably high...
All of this requires a huge amount of money to maintain!
Greece simply does not have the income capacity!
“It takes three or even ten generations to pay off the debts of one generation for the happiness it enjoys.”
"The way Greece is doing things now is equivalent to not caring about the lives of future generations at all."
He Chaoling immediately saw through the essence of the matter and sighed.
"Descendants? The Greek nation can't even survive this year! Their generation can only enjoy a few years of happiness, and they will have to pay off their debts in the rest of their lives.
Therefore, a country’s economic level must be matched with a corresponding welfare system. If it is too high or too low, it will cause fatal problems.”
Chen Mo sneered.
After the group arrived in Xi Country, Chen Mo easily interviewed the material they wanted through the relationship with a member of the Hongmeng Club.
It was not until after the secret visit that Chen Mo realized that he had underestimated the magical level of the Greek country.
According to Chen Mo’s team’s investigation, Greek civil servants can still receive pensions even if they die!!!
"We are a very wealthy country, and the government has very loose control over pension payments.
Even if our elders pass away, we will choose to conceal the facts so that we can continue to receive their pensions.”
"If my grandfather were still alive, he would be 116 years old this year. His pension increases every year and has risen to 3 euros a month this year. Our family doesn't even need to work. We can be financially free just by relying on his pension."
"In our town, there are many people who die at the age of 100 and still continue to receive pensions."
"What? Causing losses to the national treasury? Hahaha, our country of Greece is very wealthy and has a small population. What's the big deal about receiving this little money?"
"..."
The magical events are not only reflected in the pension, but also in something even more exaggerated...
