"Flowers" has been very popular recently, in fact, think about it, why is it so popular, why is this TV series shown during this time period?
The TV series mentioned that the Shanghainese in the 90s were very keen on Mengtejiao, a piece cost nearly 1000 yuan, and the salary of ordinary workers at that time was only 300-500, which is about equal to the salary of ordinary people for 3 months, which is equivalent to your current monthly income of 1w to buy a 3w T-shirt, what a luxury, and in Shanghai at that time, almost everyone had one or even some families two, and the popularity was beyond people's imagination!
In addition to some objective reasons, a large number of good-looking and fresh things have just entered the market, which has opened everyone's eyes to crazy consumption, and perhaps more importantly, confidence, everyone has extreme confidence in the environment at that time, and firmly believes that the future must be infinitely better, and indeed we have done it, we have soared from 1.89 trillion yuan in the early 90s to 120.47 trillion yuan now (2022), how amazing!
In the play, the private room of Zhizhenyuan is as low as 2800, Reiko goes to the boutique opposite to buy tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, and the newly opened night Jingdong is ridiculously expensive, and Miss Wang's monthly income at this time is only in her early 1000s, which is still an excellent employee of a high-quality state-owned enterprise who graduated from a famous university!
And who were the people who could really make a fortune at that time? Did Rubao always have an industry? Not at all! The accumulation of primitive capital was to rely on speculation, to speculate in stocks, and to seize the torrent of the times; to be honest, it was completely contrary to what we are advocating now to do business, engage in innovation, and upgrade industries, but it has become the darling of the times!
However, Mr. Fan of Sanyang has a bit of entrepreneurial spirit, breaking the monopoly of foreign technology and independently developing high-tech fabrics, but in the end, they have become well-known brands, due to the lack of channels of Mr. Bao, they still end in loneliness!
From the perspective of the present, what does "Flowers" inspire us?
That's right, it's confidence, the reason why Mr. Bao dares to use the clothing company is because he believes that the financial market will be good in the future, and the people dare to spend desperately to buy Mengte Jiao is also because of confidence!!
This is an inventory of the glory of the private economy in the past 40 years. Some people say that Hong Kong's former "Lion Rock Spirit" can be seen from the flowers, and that kind of optimism, enterprising, desire-driven, confidence-bursting, and savage growth are indeed precious in the current economic transformation.
Since the Sino-US trade war, it can be said that China has won a great victory in commodity trade, but what about the financial market? Kneeling on the ground, a group of financial speculators have followed the West to vigorously sing the praises of China's economy, running faster than anyone else, fleeing farther than anyone else, and taking the opportunity to flee as soon as there is an improvement! As a result, every time I always want to dump the pot on China and say something unpleasant, I am not surprised that these people do whatever they do.
Capitalists have no motherland, and making money is always the first priority!
Young people have more self-confidence, more belief, when a poor and two white leaned on the shoulders to carry the hand, the water and bridges have come all the way, not to mention that now, we are no longer the year, now we can go to the moon in nine days, under the five oceans to catch turtles, there is the world's most complete industrial chain, there is a strong aerospace high-tech, I firmly believe!
