No matter how the United States releases a white paper to warn neighboring countries of the dangers of Star Ring trade, these countries obviously did not take this innocuous warning to heart. The United States has been hyping up the threat theory of Hua Guo all day long. Are you doing business with Hua Guo very well?
The same reason.
In the eyes of neighboring countries, Xinghuan Trade and Future People Group have become sweet pastries.
As for why you say that, just look at Port Vanimo in New Guinea!
At the end of 2016, Port Vanimo was just a poor small town. Except for a sluggish airport and a half-built road, the entire city's economy is like a pool of stagnant water, supported by the half-dead "original ecology" tourism industry and a small amount of timber and ore exports.
Malaysia's Papua Province and Vanimo Port are only separated by a straight border line, occupying the west side of Papua Island. This straight national border almost divides the entire Papua island into two worlds, one modern and the other primitive. People in Jayapura always complain that poor people from New Guinea are taking their jobs, dirtying their city, drinking their water, but with the arrival of the future group, this condescending sense of superiority But it gradually disappeared.
Malaysians are surprised to find that Port Vanimo is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye! In just four months, the size of the city has expanded a circle, and there are four or five more flights at the airport that was originally inaccessible. As for the bustling port, six or seven berths had to be expanded.
When conditions permit, New Guineans are obviously more willing to stay in their own country than to go to work in neighboring countries. The economy supported by large iron and steel plants has forcibly boosted the local economy with brute force and driven a series of industries.
And this is just the beginning!
In February, Ruerka Automobile Co., Ltd., a successful city, passed a resolution of the board of directors to invest 200 million US dollars in the port of Vanimo, New Guinea, to build a factory to produce pure electric vehicles, officially entering the Asian market! Future Human Bio also relocated the seaweed breeding base to Vanimo Port to supply raw materials for the nutrient mixture production line on Anga Island. The parts production plant for domestic robots is also located near the port of Vanimo Port.
The population and land resources of Anga Island are in short supply. Transferring these labor-intensive industries to developing countries is the strategy implemented by Future Group since the beginning of 2017. On the other hand, New Guinea has a low sense of government presence, weak national defense strength, and rich labor and mineral resources. Fortunately, he became the target of Jiang Chen's stare.
Without the constraints of policy, the Future Group, like a hungry capital behemoth, took a bite in the eastern part of New Guinea. 30% of the residents of Port Vanimo work for Jiang Chen, and 50% of them are directly or indirectly supported by the Future Group. Future Group only took 4 months.
For such a behemoth, even if the New Guinea government is vigilant, the local government will not easily offend Jiang Chen for the decree in front of it. Among other things, Jiang Chen's words can make 50% of the people in the city lose their source of livelihood. Without the Future Group and Star Ring Trading, what would the city be like?
In a sense, the Future Group is like a drug to the local government of Vanimo Port. Foresighted officials certainly know that it will definitely not be good if things go on like this in the long run, but even if they know this clearly, they can't quit anyway. To be promoted in any country requires achievements, but Jiang Chen has what they need most.
The government of New Guinea has not thought about it. Split up Future Group's domestic industry through anti-monopoly investigations. However, the National Assembly just started to discuss this issue. Immediately, a group of aboriginal demonstrators holding signs appeared in Port Vanimo, standing at the gate of the local government to protest against tax rates and racial issues, demanding that Port Vanimo be demoted...
New Guinea is scared.
Of course, what they are afraid of is not a few demonstrators, but that Papua Island will become the second Mindanao Island. The star ring trade went crazy, and even the younger brother of the Yankee would dare to beat him up.
And he beat him face to face, and he didn't hold back when he beat him!
The matter of the antitrust investigation was never mentioned again, neither by the Governor nor by the MPs. After protesting for a period of time, those demonstrators also lacked interest and stopped demonstrating, and returned to the steel factory to work honestly.
certainly. These are small episodes.
The Future Group generates hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes for the local finances every month. Even for the foreign exchange, the local government dare not offend the people of the Future Group. Otherwise, it is impossible for those demonstrators to return to work in the factory safely, and it is impossible not to spend ten days and a half months in prison.
It is also because of the hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange. New Guinea's neighbor Malaysia is jealous.
They don't worry that the Future Human Group will subvert their regime. After all, their strength is not that of the Philippine National Team. The mixed air force of all countries has both the Russian MiG-29N and the Yankee F-18 Hornet! Although the Malays are not suitable for war, the air force in Southeast Asia is as strong as Singapore.
The Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Energy of Malay visited Koro Island twice respectively. They met with Zhang Yaping and Jiang Chen at the same time, sending a positive signal to the Future Group.
We have labor here. There are also resources, and there are basic industries to support! Everything that New Guinea has, we have in Papua Province on the same island of Papua, and they have more!
The words are so clear that the sentence "you come to invest with us!" is almost explained.
However, Jiang Chen did not respond to the enthusiasm of the two ministers at that time, but only vaguely stated that if Xinghuan Trading and Future Group needed to expand their business, they would consider cooperating with the resource-rich Malay side.
However, after finishing the polite words, there was no movement from the Future Group. The most anxious thing is the local government of Papua Province. Seeing that the poor country next to it is rising. Although the people of Jayapura hate the poor ghosts of New Guinea who come to work in their city, when these "poor ghosts" all run back When I went to work in my hometown, and I no longer saw New Guinea waiters in restaurants and McDonald's in the whole city, the citizens of Jayapura City began to worry again.
The sudden surge in labor shortage has led to a significant decline in the quality of life in Jayapura, and the speed of economic growth has also slowed down. Without these foreign labor, is there no unemployment rate for people in Jayapura? Obviously not.
While losing foreign labor, Jayapura also lost foreign consumers. The turnover of stores decreases, the performance growth of companies slows down, and jobs will naturally decrease. The more developed cities are, the more they rely on connections with the outside world.
As for the impact of the rise of Vanimo Port on Jayapura, the capital of Malay Papua Province, I will not fully refer to the rise of Shenzhen City and the decline of Xiangjiang, so I won’t go into details here.
Finally, the restless Malaysia sent people again. (To be continued.)
