00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about my experience in China so far. I'll

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: give a full breakdown.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: I'll give a full breakdown on market Mondays, because at

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: that time I'll be here for a week already.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: But I've been here for a day and it's interesting, Well,

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: what's interesting?

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: Curious?

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Okay.

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: The first thing that I noticed is that nobody speaks

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: loud publicly. Nobody. It's almost like Truman Show, where it's

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: not in a bad way, but it's like everybody's you know,

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: you get used to America normalizes things to you so

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: when you land INFK, you hear everybody screaming, they running,

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: the cab drivers that somebody argue with their baby, mom's

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: on the phone. I landed like at first, I thought

49
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: because I landed early in the morning, so I'm like,

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: maybe it's just early in the morning. But then throughout

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: the course of the day, I notice nobody's like yelling,

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: nobody is speaking loud, very low temper. Another thing I

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: noticed is everybody. Nobody's in a rush to go anywhere.

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: It's in the middle of the week, and everybody's just

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: and it's just taking their time and it's just patient.

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: I say, like, once again, you gotta remember I used

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: to work in Manhattan for ten years, so I was

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: taking the subway three times a week, rush hour traffic,

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: people bumping good at it, like get out of my way,

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Like so you used

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: to that frenzy. But I'm just like, yo, everybody's just trying.

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Nobody nobody's doing that. Another thing that I noticed, man

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: I was talking to this is a market Monday's conversation.

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: I was talking to the young lady that was driving me.

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: She's from China. You know, there's twenty electric vehicle companies

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: in China, and I was asking her. I was in

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: one car. I'm like, what is this? She named after

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: got the name of it had it had three D

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: monitor screen, the seats it was like a van seats,

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: massage seats. It looked like a Maybach spreader at the

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: company I never heard of. She said, there's twenty different

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: Chinese electric vehicle companies. Twenty she said by D is

73
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: the biggest, but she was like, no, there's twenty. There's

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: twenty different ones. I'm like, damn, that's crazy as hell.

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: I also noticed that there's grocery told me like, there's

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: grocery stores and every mall.

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: M hmm yeah, yeah, huge African population here. Really, I'm

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: in fool strong.

79
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: So that's this is the manufacturing capital of the world

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: when it comes to like home goods and all that.

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: So they was like the Africans set up three hundred

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: thousand Africans and they set up shop because they're doing

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: business back and forth. They send the material back and

84
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: forth to Africa. Yeah, walk into the showroom. Black art

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: all over the place.

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm art and very interesting.

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: Tell me more, not early, not necessarily, what you've been

88
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: what you would have expected, what you've been programmed. Propaganda

89
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: is a real thing. Like I said, I'm having full

90
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: report after week, but you know you kind of get

91
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: a gauge of things after the day.

92
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Man.

93
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been very interesting, bro. Like it's

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: a great so far now having a good time for sure.

95
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: The technology. Everybody's just very polite, like I said, it's

96
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: just it's one of these things and it's cheap. Like

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: the girl was telling me how much you pay for

98
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: rent and she said, she said two thousand for rent,

99
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: two thousand for for a one bathroom. Two thousand damn money,

100
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: which is yin that they change. So I did the conversion.

101
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: It's one hundred and seventy five dollars in the city

102
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: you're in now, or.

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred and seventy five cash. Bro.

104
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: This is the problem with printing money, shipping that in

105
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: fact into other countries because then now the value of

106
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: the dollar goes down, and now you have to wipe

107
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 4: away the middle class to offset these losses. It sucks, man,

108
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: Like we built other countries up to tear ours down,

109
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: and then we get told our country is the greatest

110
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: on earth and it has not been that for a

111
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: long time.

112
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: And you gotta and you gotta have a conversation about

113
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: forced inflation. Inflation is one thing, but how much of

114
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: it is forced inflation based off of capitalism? Greedy capitalism?

115
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Because if they could have, if they can have two

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: hundred dollars rent and extremely efficient society, there's no trash

117
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: clean obviously. I might know, you know, China highways. Everything

118
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: it looks you know, it looks like how you think

119
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: it would look. Yeah, I'm like, damn, what the hell?

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: So then I started thinking like, okay, well I saw

121
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: a closet and the closet was sixteen thousand dollars, and

122
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: they said, my my entior design ha said, that same

123
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: closet in America's eighty eighty five thousand dollars.

124
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: It is this for eighty five thousand, Like mermaids come

125
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: out of it, Like, yo, these classes cost a lot

126
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 4: of money.

127
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: These closet room.

128
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: Like when I say a closet, like a whole entire room, okay,

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: got you okay, with the island, with the got you cold,

130
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: all the whole thing, right. So I'm just like, yo,

131
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: it's just really really interesting as far as like we're

132
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: talking about the price of cars, right, Like, they can't

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: allow these cars to come into America because it will

134
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: crash that the auto the automotive industry.

135
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: Yahmn cars are like what twenty eight thousand something like

136
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: that US.

137
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what keep in mind, that's what taxes

138
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: added on top of it. Yes, yeah, right, So man,

139
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: like I said, we have a full breakdown on market mondays.

140
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: But so far it's been pretty interesting, pretty eye opening,

141
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: and on a certain level, pretty alarming. Because she was

142
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: like she I told her how much like average rent

143
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: in America is, and she was like, her question was

144
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: to me was she's never been to America? She said, well,

145
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: how do you how do regular people pay that? How

146
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: do they survive?

147
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: Oh?

148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: My, that's and now now it all makes sense. Now

149
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: I understand why people are walking with no care in

150
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: the world. Now I understand at twelve o'clock everything shuts

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: down for mandatory lunch, and then from one to two

152
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: everybody takes a nap. Told you, I understand why you

153
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: can be stressed free on a certain level. Right, because

154
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: you're paying two hundred dollars for rent, you're paying twenty

155
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars for one bererom and you're only making

156
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a month, You're going to be stressed

157
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,120
