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 smoothly taken over the country's affairs, and the tense atmosphere has calmed down a lot.
At present, the Moro army still occupies Manila, and the scars of the war can still be seen in the streets and alleys. The streets and alleys are not flooded with the original, and there are fewer war refugees queuing up at military checkpoints to receive relief food than before. A lot.
Mindanao is developing light industry, with many food processing plants, paper mills, and garment factories springing up like mushrooms after a rain. People who could not find jobs 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 reunification over the years has left the two peoples with some blood ties. The transitional government has a good relationship with Santos. In order to alleviate the tense employment pressure in the country, the two parties signed a special visa-free agreement to facilitate the unemployed in Manila to go to Mindanao to work.
Moro's industry is in its infancy, and it needs these technical talents from Manila.
In early September, with the help of the State Grid Corporation of China, the power grid in downtown Manila and the industrial area was finally restored. As for when Manila's power grid will be restored to pre-war levels, it will probably 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 entire Manila, and even in the entire southern Luzon Island, the only ones with the least losses are these unskilled planting industries.
Although domestic orders have been greatly reduced, fortunately, relations between Singapore and the Philippines have eased since the transitional government came to power. New Zealand has lowered tariffs on a total of 21 commodities from the Philippines, including bananas, mangoes, coconuts, and iron ore. The orders from China have eased the pressure on these plantations, allowing the unsalable fruits to be disposed of at a price acceptable to the fruit farmers.
Years of border friction and the participation of Xinghuan Trade in the Morphine War have made Filipinos generally hostile to the new country. However, these fruit farmers who have gained benefits are undoubtedly grateful to the new country businessmen who saved them from the fire. Be grateful.
Led by the Future People Group, Future People Biology has eaten up almost all of their unsalable inventory.
At this moment, these refugees who came from the city to work in the countryside were helping to move boxes of fruit onto wooden carts, and leading mules and horses to carry the goods to the dock. The plantation truck broke down and the new truck had not arrived yet. Until then, they could only make do with this primitive method.
Some of these people carrying goods wore leather shoes, and some even wore trousers.
They obviously don't look like farmers, but they do work that is harder than farmers. Only they themselves understand the bitterness of it.
Throughout Manila, there are only a few companies that have not closed down, and there are not many decent jobs available to them.
Although power supply has been restored to several large industrial parks, not a single factory in operation can be found at the moment. It is not just the power grid that is paralyzed by emp, but also those production lines and industrial machine tools. Without production tools and a few kilowatt-hours of electricity, it’s impossible to plug yourself into an outlet, right
Speaking of the negative impact that emp has had on the Philippine industry, we have to mention the pure electric vehicle companies Jiang Chen acquired in Europe earlier.
Previously, due to a series of sanctions imposed by the European Union, many pure electric vehicle companies such as Rulka once declined from market value to billions of dollars and were on the verge of bankruptcy. At that time, Jiang Chen gave an order to Rulka and others to move the company from Europe to Asia, settle in the New Matt District, abandon Europe, and focus on the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean markets.
When executing the order, Rulka's mood was undoubtedly desperate.
However, less than two months later, the situation immediately took a turn for the better! It’s not because of anything else, it’s because of the emp that Star Ring Trade detonated over Manila!
Within the scope of emp's attack, all civilian vehicles in Manila were turned into scrap metal, and motor vehicles across the country became nervous 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 Rulka Automobile Company has surged almost by leaps and bounds!
Especially pickup trucks and small and medium-sized trucks, many companies have to borrow money from banks to buy them in order to restore paralyzed logistics. In this environment, with its reliability and relatively low price, Rulka's brand conquered half of the related car market in the Philippines.
In order to fill this large market gap, Rulka has successively issued orders to the company's assembly plants to expand production lines. At the same time, it has united with Future Heavy Industries and a number of electric vehicle manufacturers to invest in solar electric vehicles in major cities such as Manila in the Philippines. car charging stations to further consolidate the current market position.
…
Maintaining a long-term vassal relationship does not rely on a mere contract, but on economic dependence.
What Jiang Chen has to do is to have every piece of iron ore knocked out of the mines by the Filipinos have to be sorted, smelted, and finally made into finished steel by steel plants in or indirectly related to the new country. Every grain of rice produced by the Filipinos has to pass through the food processing plants of the Future Group and then return to their own tables.
By then, even if the transitional government is dissolved and the new president elected in the Philippine general election is not Bautista, they will have to continue to pinch their noses and be a vassal for the sake of employment rate and GDP data.
Having stayed in Manila for a month, Jiang Chen took a plane back to Coro 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 felt like returning to a civilized society. Staying in Manila is quite inconvenient in every sense of the word. Every time I travel, there are armored vehicles sandwiched between me. When I open the car door, there are at least two people standing in front of me.
Fortunately, now that he is back, this life should be over.
Unlike the dilapidated Manila, the developing new country can be said to be thriving. The war between neighboring countries did not affect the lives of the people of the new country. On the contrary, due to the depreciation of the peso, prices on Coro Island were much lower than before.
Especially fruits and foods.
In mid-September, the first batch of rice, cabbage and carrots produced from the seabed finally landed at the farmers' markets of 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, making them truly natural and pollution-free! Due to the carbon dioxide-rich environment of the ocean, constant temperature and other factors, these crops grown on the seabed are often of higher quality and more delicious than those grown on land.
Look at the rice grains. They are as plump as pearls. The steamed rice is even softer, glutinous and fragrant. It’s so addictive to eat! There are also the cabbages, which are juicy and juicy. Each cabbage is just like the mutton-fat jade. It looks pleasing to the eye, tastes delicious, and is nutritious.
No matter which country the agricultural products are placed in, their competitiveness will definitely be unmatched.
And the most important thing is that it’s cheap!
Because they are vegetables produced in the country, not only do they not have to pay tariffs, they even enjoy policy subsidies for corporate income tax. In addition, because there is no need to use pesticides, the three-dimensional planting of vegetables below and raising fish on top even eliminates the need for fertilizers, 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 rice grown under the sea is at least 30% lower than that imported from Thailand and Australia!
