A house, a story

Riel, an American old lady who fooled China1300 million people, February 8, 2005 at 20: 21/oubb/293957.html. Once upon a time, such a fable was quietly popular among the people in China. It said that there was an old Chinese lady and an old American lady. Old China said that I had worked all my life and finally saved enough money to buy a house, while the old American woman said. It goes without saying that while Chinese people are tightening their wallets and scrimping, Americans are borrowing and spending smartly. This fable seems to tell us that, as China people, don't cover your wallet tightly, but rest assured to spend it. In a nutshell, when you save enough money to be smart, you will be old and have no time to be smart. Look at Americans, how smart they are to spend money today and tomorrow; From a big perspective, only when our people put down their wallets and have the courage to spend in advance can the country prosper. Look at America. People are so rich because they dare to spend money tomorrow. As a result, those economists responded to the call and gave us a lesson in macroeconomics for free: the troika that drives economic growth is consumption, investment and export. The first is consumption. Only by stimulating domestic demand can the economy grow rapidly, but there is a famous scientific name called "consumption-driven growth" Therefore, people, in response to the government's call, open their wallets and spend in advance.

The call of the government, the rhetoric of scholars, the propaganda of the media, and the little wind that the old American lady came out of nowhere and fanned her with a small fan made us little people really dizzy. Didn't old Mr. Kong Ming say that saving lives and saving lives? Didn't our great man also tell us to be hard-working and simple? Besides, it's all over. Isn't China a member of the WTO? You have to have a world view. Look at foreigners who live in small buildings and drive around the world. We have kept a "permanent card" for one room, one living room and one living room all our lives, and even our friendly neighbor Xinmatai didn't go to see it. Looking back, I almost lived my whole life in vain.

The great leader once said, how bold and successful we China people are, we are not afraid of not being able to do it, and we are afraid of taking it by surprise. No, we China people have finally thought of it. We must make a big fight, and we can't let that old American woman look down on China people. Open the passbook and see if there are tens of thousands left. Why not buy a house first? Isn't there a zero down payment? You can live in a big house without spending a penny, and a family of three, four and five is happy. It turns out that the most cost-effective thing in the world is borrowing and spending. If the American old lady knew that China people now live in big houses and don't spend a penny, she would be surprised to say "the world today is different" in Chinese. Who says that our people have to live a hard life and our country has joined the WTO, or we must have a world vision, otherwise how can we reach the level of moderately developed countries? To maintain the world level, we must first spend like foreigners. Turn on the TV, I really don't know what a wonderful world this is. People who used to wear clothes with crocodiles and began to show off were dumbfounded. If the brand in the eyes of foreigners is Versace Chanel, that is identity. Somebody, credit card service! The strength of China people is indeed infinite, and this time it's foreigners' turn to be dumbfounded. The story that three rural women in China bought 500,000 euros in a duty-free shop next to the Eiffel Tower in Paris had to make the French people hold their chins in their hands in surprise.

In less than 10 years, many people in China started their own "negative" lives. A house with a market price of millions has to bear thousands or even thousands of dollars in January. Of course, people have gradually discovered that he is not only burdened with a mortgage of several thousand yuan a month, but also has high medical expenses, high education expenses for his children and, of course, higher housing prices, and its growth rate has made the world stunned. However, China people's pockets are not bulging much, but the bills for dunning are increasing. Suddenly looking back, the Chinese people actually found that their originally peaceful life was changed by an old American lady. Look at the old lady in America. It turned out that she didn't have to spend money on her own when she was sick, and the pension was arranged by the government. No wonder people are so persistent, and they are still clamoring for money today and tomorrow. Now people are rethinking the rampant consumerism. Look at us again. There are so many self-funded projects, but we stupidly follow that hateful old American lady as a negative example. What should we do tomorrow?

Now we should not only ask ourselves whether we were fooled by that old American woman, or whether we just made up an old American woman to fool ourselves.
