Chapter 838 Economic Vassal

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
The summer is coming to an end, and the temperature in Luzon is much better than it was some time ago.

The war criminals have been imprisoned, the post-war liquidation has ended, the transitional government has taken over national affairs smoothly, and the tense atmosphere has calmed down a lot.

At present, the Moro army still occupied Manila, and the scars of war can still be seen on the streets and alleys. There were no war refugees lined up in line to receive relief food at military checkpoints than before.

Mindanao is developing light industry, and many such as food processing plants, paper mills and clothing factories are sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Those who could not find a job in Manila began to migrate south and took a boat to Mindanao to try their luck in Quezon City.

Although the war between the two countries has just ended, the reunification over the years has left the people of the two countries with such bloody ties.

The transitional government has a good relationship with Santos. In order to alleviate the stress of stress in the country, the two sides have signed a special visa-free agreement to facilitate unemployed people in Manila to go to Mindanao to work.

The industry in Moro is in its infancy and is just in need of these technical talents from Manila.

In early September, with the help of China State Grid Corporation, the power grids in downtown Manila and industrial areas were finally barely restored.

As for when Manila's power grid can return to its pre-war level, it's probably time to go next year.

At this moment, production has resumed in plantations of all sizes in the suburbs of Manila.

In the entire Manila and even in southern Luzon, the only ones that suffer the least losses are these untechnical planting industries.

Although the orders from China were reduced, fortunately, the relationship between New Zealand and Philippines eased after the transitional government came to power. The New Kingdom lowered tariffs on a total of 21 items such as bananas, mangoes, coconuts, iron ore, etc. The New Kingdom eased the pressure on these plantations and allowed the unsold fruits to be disposed of at a price that could be accepted by fruit farmers.

The years of border friction and the participation of the Star Ring Trade in the Mozambique War have made the Filipinos generally have a considerable hostility towards the New Country, but these fruit farmers who have obtained benefits are undoubtedly grateful to the New Country merchants who saved them from the fire and fire.

Among them, led by Future Ren Group, Future Ren Bio almost ate all of their unsold inventory.

At this moment, these refugees who came to work in the countryside from the city were helping to carry boxes of fruits on wooden carts and lead mules and horses to hold the goods to the dock.

The trucks on the plantation broke down and the new car had not arrived yet. Before that, they could only use this original method to get off.

Some of these people who transported the goods were wearing leather shoes, and some even wore trousers.

They obviously don’t look like farmers, but they are doing harder work than farmers, and only they themselves know the bitterness.

In Manila, there are few companies that have not gone bankrupt, and there are only a few decent jobs that can be provided to them.

Although several large industrial parks have resumed power supply, they cannot find a factory that has started construction at this moment.

It is not only the power grid that is paralyzed by EMP, but also the production lines and industrial machine tools.

Without production tools, if you have only a few kilowatt-hours of electricity, it is impossible to plug yourself into the socket, right?

Speaking of the negative impact of EMP on the Philippine industry, we have to mention the pure electric vehicle companies that Jiang Chen acquired in Europe earlier.

Previously, due to a series of EU sanctions, many pure electric vehicle companies such as Rulka once declined from a market value of billions of dollars to a verge of bankruptcy.

At that time, Jiang Chen gave an order, he asked Rurkka and others to move the company from Europe to Asia, settle in the New Matthew Region, abandon Europe, and focus on the Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets.

When executing the order, Rurkka was undoubtedly desperate.

However, less than two months later, the situation immediately turned around!It’s not because of anything else, it’s because of the EMP that Star Ring Trade detonated over Manila!

Within the EMP attack range, civilian vehicles in Manila have turned into scrap iron, and motor vehicles across the Philippines have become nervous.

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 Rulkau Automobile Company has almost surged in a leap!

Especially pickup trucks and small and medium-sized trucks, many companies have to buy them when they borrow money from banks to restore paralyzed logistics.

In this environment, with reliability and relatively low selling price, the Rulka brand has conquered half of the Philippines-related car market in one fell swoop.

In order to fill this large market gap, Rulkar has made orders to expand its production lines to the company's assembly plants, and at the same time, it has joined forces with Future Renhe Industrial and several electric vehicle manufacturers to invest in the construction of solar electric vehicle charging stations in major cities such as Manila in the Philippines, further consolidating its current market position.

……

Maintaining a long-term vassal relationship is by no means just a contract, but an economic dependence relationship.

What Jiang Chen has to do is to let every piece of iron ore knocked out by the Filipinos from the mine cave be sorted and smelted through the Xinguo or indirectly related steel plants... and finally refined into finished steel.

Every grain of rice produced by Filipinos has to pass through the food processing plant of the Future Group and then return to their own dining table.

By then, even if the transitional government was dissolved, the new president elected by the Philippines' election was not Baudista. For the sake of employment rate and GDP data, they had to continue to pinch their noses and become this vassal.

I have been staying in Manila for a month and the matter at hand has been dealt with, so Jiang Chen took a plane back to Koro Island.

Walking out of the airport and looking at the bustling crowds on the streets, Jiang Chen finally felt like he was returning to a civilized society.

It is quite inconvenient in all senses when staying in Manila.

There were armored vehicles clamping before and after each trip, and at least two people stood before opening the door.

Fortunately, now that he is back, this kind of life should be over.

Unlike the dilapidated Manila, the developing new country can be said to be thriving.

The war against neighboring countries did not affect the lives of the people of the new country. Instead, due to the depreciation of the peso, the prices on Koro Island have been much lower than before.

Especially fruits and food.

In mid-September, the first batch of rice, cabbage and carrots produced from the seabed finally landed in farmers' markets in Koro Island and Penglai.

Since there is no need to worry about pests, these agricultural products can be said to have not sprinkled with pesticides at all, and they have truly achieved pure natural and pollution-free!

Due to the carbon dioxide-rich environment of the ocean and constant temperature, these crops produced from the seabed are often much better and more delicious than those cultivated on land.

Look at the rice grains, which are as plump as pearls, and the steamed rice is even soft, glutinous and fragrant, which makes it addictive to taste!

There are also those cabbages, which are so savory and are all the same as mutton fat jade. They look pleasing and taste delicious and have no say in nutrition.

No matter which country the market is put into, its competitiveness will definitely be nothing to say.

And the most important thing is cheap!

Because it is a vegetable produced in the country, not only does not have to pay tariffs, but even corporate income tax enjoys policy subsidies.

In addition, because there is no need to use pesticides, the three-dimensional planting of fish farming on the vegetables below even saves fertilizer, and highly mechanized farming does not require too much manpower.

If the one-time investment in building a planting base is not considered, the cost of these rice grown under the sea will be at least 30% lower than that imported from Thailand and Australia!
