Chapter 539 Luxury Street

The situation in Ireland collapsed so quickly that the British government probably did not expect it.

But if we make a summary, we can only say that the British people's long-term oppressive attitude towards the Irish is the culprit. Even if a large-scale demonstration broke out in Ireland, the British government still did not take it to heart.

Whether it was the blind shooting of the police at the beginning or the wanton arrest of the demonstrators by local sheriffs, there is no doubt that it accelerated the deterioration of the situation in Ireland.

However, up to now, the British government feels that they can still quell the rebellion in Ireland at any time. After all, the strength of the British Empire has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The external powers cannot defeat the British Empire, let alone just a small Ireland.

Of course, the Irish War of Independence has nothing to do with Australasia, and Arthur has absolutely no intention of intervening.

In any case, the British are now fully capable of suppressing Ireland, at least maintaining the framework of the British Empire is completely no problem.

Compared with the Irish War of Independence, Arthur attaches more importance to the Philippine War of Independence. After all, this is the war that Australasia can control and is also one of the protagonists.

Of course, the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence also made Arthur a little worried, after all, there are many Irish people in Australasia.

But thinking of the current situation in Australasia, Arthur's worries dissipated by half.

First of all, the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence was the result of Britain's long-term oppression of the Irish, which also involves the historical issues of England and Ireland.

At present, the Irish in Australasia are still living a good life. There is no oppression between the various ethnic groups in Australasia, and the concept of a unified Australasia is still very popular.

What's more, although Australasia is a multi-ethnic country, the various ethnic groups have not formed a fixed gathering place, but are scattered in various cities, and it is impossible to form a parade scale like Ireland.

For various reasons, the situation in Australasia is impossible to develop like the British mainland, and Arthur is still relatively relieved about this.

As long as the proportion of British people exceeds half of the total population of Australasia, the situation in Australasia can remain generally stable, and there will basically be no problems.

After confirming that the Philippine War of Independence had developed as he had expected, Arthur turned his attention back to the development of Australasia.

After 20 years of development, Sydney has become one of the most populous cities in the world, and its level of development is not inferior to that of European countries.

Of course, this is also a common problem in Australasia. The big cities in Australasia are not much behind those in Europe, but the only thing that lags behind is the number of big cities, which is still a population problem.

Although the development of Sydney and Melbourne is not inferior to that of big cities in European countries, the problem is that these two cities are the only ones with high development in Australasia.

Although it has been determined that the capital of Australasia in a few years will be Fort St. Arthur, which is currently under construction, this still does not prevent the government from making new plans and construction for Sydney and Melbourne, such as the two streets that are about to be built in Sydney.

These two streets connect the most central streets in Sydney and are located in the middle of the Sydney expansion area. They are the top priority for the next construction.

In order to make up for the lack of Sydney as a developed city, these two streets, one as a financial street and the other as a shopping street, will be the top economic priorities in the construction of Sydney's new urban area in the future.

Needless to say, the financial street is connected to the old street of Sydney, where the three largest banks in Australasia are located.

If nothing unexpected happens, the new financial street will also build branches of three banks, and will also attract investment from all over the world. It will be the most important financial street in Sydney in the future.

The other shopping street is naturally not an ordinary street. It will be a concentration of luxury goods in Australasia. Luxury goods from all over the country and even the world can be seen here, further promoting the economy of Sydney and Australasia.

Including the red wine of Arthur's private winery, it will also be sold publicly here, and as one of the main products, it will further promote the reputation of Sydney's shopping street.

These two streets will be built first in Sydney. If they are effective, corresponding streets will also be built in Melbourne, and there are even plans in the new capital.

Overall, the population of Sydney and Melbourne can fully support these two streets. At present, the population of Sydney and Melbourne has exceeded 3 million. They are also the two major megacities in Australasia and are very famous internationally.

The construction of such a shopping street is not only to promote the economic flow of Australasia, but also to further promote the tourism reputation of Australasia and attract more foreign wealthy businessmen to come to Australasia to buy luxury goods.

After all, the Australasia government can collect taxes on all consumption in the shopping street, which has long been a considerable income. It can also promote the reputation of Australasia, which is definitely a sure-win business.

In addition to the construction of new urban areas, the transformation of old urban areas and the repair of some buildings are also very important parts of Sydney's construction.

As one of the two major cities in Australasia, Sydney is the face of Australasia, and all construction must be 100% attentive.

First of all, the maintenance of the sanitary environment of some famous tourist attractions in Sydney is related to the external reputation of Australasia. Therefore, the government attaches great importance to it and has specially promulgated corresponding health laws.

The second is the full popularization of electricity. Almost all roads in Sydney city are equipped with street lights, providing lighting for the city.

Because of the popularity of cars, the corresponding traffic light devices have also been born. Out of consideration for the lives of car drivers and other people, under Arthur's order, the government improved the traffic law, added traffic lights to the traffic law, and added some traffic regulations.

For example, zebra crossings, guide lines at intersections, lane divisions, traffic lights, and the rules of giving way to pedestrians are all made into a simple traffic law manual, which every Australasian who obtains a driver's license needs to understand and be familiar with.

Yes, in order to regulate the car environment, Australasia has issued a driver's license, which is still very easy to take the test compared to later generations.

After all, the current car speed is not fast. Those who own cars are either old drivers who make a living from it, or those dignitaries, and no one will joke with their own lives.

The Australasian Traffic Law specifically stipulates that the maximum speed of small cars on urban roads shall not exceed 50 kilometers per hour, and the speed of large trucks shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour.

The speed limit on suburban roads has been raised to 60 kilometers and 50 kilometers, and there is a relatively complete set of traffic responsibility division criteria to ensure that any traffic accident can be properly divided.

As for the highway, don't think about it in the short term. Not only can the relevant configuration of the car not keep up, but the construction environment of the road can't be so flat. Raising the speed limit will only increase the probability of accidents.

It has to be admitted that humans are still very accurate in looking for business opportunities.

In recent times, the taxi industry and the transport truck industry have ushered in huge business opportunities. Many taxi drivers and truck drivers make a living from this and have accumulated a lot of wealth.

Although the price of a car is relatively expensive, the cost of taking a car in a short period of time is not expensive, which also allows many middle-class families to choose taxis when traveling, providing a large source of income for the taxi industry.

The same is true for the transport truck industry. Most manufacturers cannot afford the cost of purchasing a large number of trucks. In comparison, cooperating with a transport fleet for a short or long time has become a more cost-effective choice.

When a manufacturer does not need to transport, the transport fleet can also serve other manufacturers and earn income from both ends.

After a long period of development, these two industries have given birth to many taxi companies and transportation companies of certain scale, which have led many Australasians to success.

It is worth mentioning that although the sales of Benz One have entered a declining stage, the sales of several trucks of Benz Automobile are still in an upward period.

Benz Automobile Factory is also developing cars with different appearances, and results will be available soon, and a new round of car buying fever is expected to break out.

Although Benz One supports different colors, after all, it is a car that has been sold for more than ten years, and its appearance design is already relatively backward.

Benz Automobile Factory is not obsessed with the sales of Benz One. The new generation of Benz cars not only has a completely different appearance design from Benz One, but also has different interiors and related hardware.

Under the influence of Arthur, Benz Automobile Factory is not satisfied with the existing achievements, and still has a good spirit of exploration for cars.

According to the results reported by Benz, the new generation of Benz cars will be born within two years, and after a period of testing, they can be sold simultaneously around the world.

It is just right to reap another wave of profits before the global economic crisis comes. Otherwise, after the economic crisis breaks out, even if the design of the new generation of Benz cars is eye-catching, it is unlikely to achieve good sales results.

Speaking of reaping profits, Arthur is actually more looking forward to the Sydney radio factory that has been built.

The construction technology of the radio is relatively simple. Even the simplest crystal radio may cost less than five Australian dollars.

But such a radio can fully receive the signal of the nearby broadcasting base station and realize the reception of wireless broadcasting.

If it is matched with several radio stations to play different news and programs, it will definitely attract many people's attention.

Low prices can also create a larger market. If the marketing is good, the radio, including the radio wave technology, can be sold to other countries, making a lot of money.
