Remember【Pen♂Fun÷Ge】in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
Summer is coming to an end, and the temperature in Luzon is much better than before.
The war criminals have been imprisoned, and the post-war liquidation has ended. The transitional government has taken over the affairs of the country smoothly, and the tense atmosphere has subsided a lot.
At present, the army of the Moro Kingdom is still occupying Manila, and the scars of war can still be seen in the streets and alleys. The streets and alleys were not filled with the original, and the number of war refugees queuing up at the military checkpoint to receive relief food is less than before a lot.
Mindanao is developing light industries, and many factories, such as food processing plants, paper mills, and garment factories, have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Those who could not find work in Manila began to migrate south, taking a boat from Quezon City to Mindanao to try their luck.
Although the war between the two countries has just ended, the unification of the two countries for many years, after all, has made the people of the two countries have so few traces of blood ties. The relationship between the transitional government and Santos is good. In order to alleviate the tense employment pressure in the country, the two sides signed a special visa-free agreement to facilitate the unemployed in Manila to go to Mindanao to work.
The industry in Morocco is in its infancy, and these skilled talents from Manila are just in need.
In early September, with the help of Huaguo State Grid Corporation of China, the power grid in downtown Manila and industrial areas was barely restored. As for when Manila's power grid can be restored to the level before the war, it is estimated that it will have to wait until this time next year.
At this moment, in the suburbs of Manila, production has resumed in large and small plantations.
In the whole of Manila, and even the whole of southern Luzon, the least losses are only these unskilled planting industries.
Although domestic orders have been greatly reduced, but fortunately, relations between Singapore and the Philippines have eased after the transitional government took office. The orders from China have eased the pressure on these plantations, allowing those unsalable fruits to be disposed of at a price acceptable to fruit farmers.
Years of border frictions and Star Ring trade's participation in the Murphy War have made Filipinos generally hostile to Xinguo, but these fruit farmers who have gained benefits are undoubtedly helpful to the Xinguo businessmen who saved them from the fire. Thanks Dade.
Among them, led by the Future Human Group, the Future Human Creatures almost ate all of their unsalable inventory.
At this moment, these refugees who came from the city to work in the countryside are helping to load boxes of fruit onto wooden carts, and are leading the mules and horses to carry these goods to the pier. The plantation truck broke down, and the new car hadn't arrived yet. Before that, they could only get off in this primitive way.
Among those who moved the goods,
Some wore leather shoes, and some even wore trousers.
They obviously don't look like farmers, but they do harder work than farmers, and only they themselves know the bitterness of it.
Throughout Manila, there are not many companies left that have not closed down, and there are few decent jobs that can be provided for them.
Although the power supply has been restored in several large industrial parks, there is not a single factory in operation at the moment. It is not only the power grid that is paralyzed by EMP, but also those production lines and industrial machine tools. Without production tools, and with so many kilowatt-hours of electricity, it is impossible to plug yourself into the socket, right?
When it comes to the negative impact of EMP on Philippine industry, we have to mention the pure electric vehicle companies that Jiang Chen acquired earlier in Europe.
Previously, due to a series of EU sanctions, many pure electric vehicle companies such as Rurka declined from a market value of billions of dollars to the verge of bankruptcy. At that time, Jiang Chen ordered Rulka and others to move the company from Europe to Asia, settle in the Singapore-Malaysia special zone, abandon Europe, and focus on the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean markets.
When carrying out the order, Rurka's mood was undoubtedly desperate.
However, within two months, the situation immediately turned for the better! Not because of anything else, but because of the EMP that the Star Ring trade detonated over Manila!
Within the scope of the EMP strike, civilian vehicles in Manila were turned into scrap iron, and motor vehicles across the Philippines became tense because of this.
The paralysis of the transportation system is even more troublesome than the paralysis of the production system. Affected by this, the demand for automobiles in the Philippines has increased sharply, and the performance of Rurca Automobile Company has almost surged by leaps and bounds!
Especially pickup trucks, small and medium-sized trucks, in order to restore the paralyzed logistics, many companies have to borrow money from banks to buy them. In such a general environment, with its reliability and relatively low price, the Rulca brand has conquered half of the related type of car market in the Philippines in one fell swoop.
In order to fill this large gap in the market, Rulka has successively issued orders to the company's assembly plants to expand the production line. At the same time, it has joined forces with Future Heavy Industry and a number of electric vehicle manufacturers to invest in the construction of solar electric vehicles in major cities such as Manila in the Philippines. Car charging stations, further strengthening the current market position.
...
To maintain a long-term vassal relationship, it is by no means a mere contract, but an economic dependence relationship.
What Jiang Chen has to do is to let the Filipinos knock out every piece of iron ore from the mine, and it has to go through Xinguo or a steel factory indirectly related to Xinguo to sort, smelt... and finally smelt it into finished steel. Every grain of rice produced by the Filipinos has to go through the food processing factory of the Future Group, and then return to their own dining table.
At that time, even if the transitional government is disbanded and the new president elected by the Philippine general election is not Bautista, they will have to continue to hold their noses as a vassal for the employment rate and GDP data.
Having stayed in Manila for a month, Jiang Chen took the plane back to Koro Island after finishing the matters at hand.
After walking out of the airport and looking at the bustling crowds on the street, Jiang Chen finally had the feeling of returning to a civilized society. While staying in Manila, it was quite inconvenient in every sense of the word. Every time I travel, there are armored vehicles sandwiched between them, and there are at least two people standing in front of the door.
Fortunately, now that he is back, this kind of life should be over.
Unlike the dilapidated Manila, the developing Xinguo can be said to be thriving. The war between neighboring countries did not affect the lives of the people of Xinguo. On the contrary, because of the depreciation of the peso, the price of Koro Island was much lower than before.
Especially fruit and food.
In mid-September, the first batch of rice, cabbage and carrots produced under the sea finally landed in the farmers' markets on Koro Island and Penglai City.
Since there is no need to worry about pests, these agricultural products can be said to have no pesticides at all, and they are truly natural and pollution-free! Due to the carbon dioxide-rich environment of the ocean and constant temperature and other factors, these crops produced on the seabed are often of higher quality and more delicious than those cultivated on land.
Look at the rice grains, the grains are full like pearls, and the steamed rice is even softer and more delicious, it is addictive! There are also those cabbages, juicy and juicy, all of which are the same as suet jade. They are pleasing to look at, delicious to eat, and even more nutritious.
Such agricultural products, no matter which country's market they are placed in, must be competitive.
And most importantly, it's cheap!
Because it is a vegetable produced in the country, not only does it not have to pay tariffs, but even enjoys policy subsidies for corporate income tax. In addition, because there is no need to use pesticides, the three-dimensional planting of vegetables on the bottom and fish on the top even saves fertilizers, and highly mechanized farming does not require too much manpower.
If the one-time investment in the construction of the planting base is not considered, the cost of these seabed rice is at least 30% lower than that imported from Thailand and Australia!
