Chapter 138: 138 The cargo ship
At the trading port, National Capital Region of Dayi. A month ago, this place was destroyed by the 1st Fleet of the Empire. Then send the destroyer into the palace, forcing Dayi to sign an unfair treaty.
The 1st Fleet of the Empire was stationed at this port. On the withdrawal condition, Dayi County must pay an additional two million yuan of the war indemnity. The Imperial 1st Fleet will withdraw.
Dayi Country would not want this horrible Fleet to dock in the capital. They all raised the war indemnity money and handed it over to the 1st Fleet of the Empire, hoping that the other would withdraw.
The 1st Fleet withdrew under the treaty agreement. Besides, the Empire had asked for 99 years to lease a portion of the trading port. Of course, Dayi would not deny it and be forced to give a portion of the Empire's harbor.
This trading port began to reconstruct. Over 50 percent of the restoration progress is progressing. It was under construction by imperial engineers who designed the port to handle heavy cargo transportation. And today, Dayi trading port must welcome new visitors.
"The iron warship has returned."
Some have noticed the iron warship, the Empire's demonic power symbol, has returned. People hurriedly gazed at the sea in fear, with all the unforgettable memories that the Imperial Fleet destroyed this port in the blink of an eye.
"This is a much larger iron ship than before." Villagers stared at a steel ship that was several times larger than a warship was docking at this trading port.
This is a cargo ship on board, loaded with containers of 40 feet and 20 feet. Contain all goods from the Empire. The cargo ship has docked in the trading port. Then the workers brought down the tools to move the goods.
The villagers from that area began to realize that the iron boats did not harm them. Many people started to come and watch with interest.
An international treaty goes into effect. As a result, goods from the Empire could flow into neighboring countries without being taxed. As a result, many products are only slightly higher in the pricealmost the same price as in the Empire.
As the container staff descended, opened the containers and found many modern goods lined up. There were hundreds of containers still waiting to be opened. The merchants and villagers knew that this iron ship carrying a huge amount of modern goods from the Empire immediately generated excitement.
"Oh, that's a stylish product."
"I miss so much. How long have I not used these products?"
People immediately thought of their past. Modern imperial products are top-rated, such as soap, toothpaste, glassware, and cosmetics are in great demand among people of all levels. Anyone who has ever used these products will become so addicted that they will never withdraw. Can no longer be short of these modern products.
But problems began to arise after the blockade of the Four Nations Alliance. Since then, imports of modern products have declined and are no longer available to buy. Not only that, products that can be purchased on the black market are also costly. It is a hundred times more expensive than the original price. There was only an aristocratic class with enough wealth, who could buy it without difficulty. As for ordinary villagers, it was immediately no chance.
Everyone very misses these products. Many people flock to ask the staff the price of the product. And when everyone had learned the truth, they were silent for a while before they could regain their consciousness.
"Very cheap, very cheap."
"Hey, am I dreaming? Why is the product price so cheap?" Villagers refused to believe the price. Even if they saw the truth for themselves.
This price before the blockade of the Four Nations is also 3-5 times higher. Because merchants who imported the product had plus a huge. But these goods were imported directly from the Empire. There is only a slight increase in the cost of shipping. But the price is still very cheap. Until most people cannot believe.
While everyone was stunned by the product's price, the merchant who saw this opportunity hurriedly walked forward and said loudly.
"I bought all of these products."
This sentence awakened everyone, then realized that they too had to take these goods.
"I bought all of them as well."
"Take it, take my money."
Both the public and the merchants were busy scrambling to buy modern products. And it is incredible, hundreds of containers of goods have been purchased entirely. Not only that, but not everyone was satisfied, wanting more products.
"What? The products are out of stock."
"It's not true. Why is the product going to run out so quickly?"
"I need a lot more products. If you can get it for me, I will definitely reward you." Many merchants hurriedly bribed to get more goods.
The merchants began to notice that The Empire's cargo ships were huge, and could contain countless products. This is equivalent to its own junk boat, which may carry hundreds of cargo back and forth compared to a single voyage cargo ship.
"Everyone, calm down. I assure you that there will be many more products delivered to Dayi." The officers hurriedly made a promise to end the chaos.
The people who heard it began to calm down, left happily while looking forward to new ships to come.
Not only the Dayi region, Dalian, Datang, and Dajin. There are new modern freight forwarders transported to the place. Causing happiness to the people very much.
Everyone had the same symptoms as Dayi, hurried to buy all the modern products. Especially to the royal chef of Datang, who was delighted to see the seasoning powder. He immediately hoarded a large amount of seasoning powder. Prepare to cook a large set of dishes for Emperor Datang.
The first round was sold out within hours. Such good news was inevitably returned to the imperial capital.
At a high-end restaurant in Shenzhou, private merchants were celebrating these sales have skyrocketed.
"Drink for success." Businessmen pouring liquor to each other. Then happy drinking.
"Fortunately, I obeyed the emperor's words." Businessmen recalled Zhao Lingxin's words that urged them to hasten to produce a large batch to alleviate the economic crisis.
After selling out a lot of products, everyone began to feel the economic crisis had faded. And the Empire's economy has grown more insane than before. As if a person who had been bruised for a long time released a single blow.
Many products are produced and exported to four countries. The Empire's merchandise was unique on its own, and without the tax wall, the more it sold it as if it were free. A large amount of the remaining inventory was sold out at once. Some people have begun to regret that if they knew this would be the case, they would have to rush to produce more stocked products.
"I am already preparing to expand a new production base in the North for some time."
Some businessmen began to see a large foreign purchasing power that needed modern goods from the only Empire could produce. Causing the manufactured products to be guaranteed to be sold out for sure With the entire Empire's production rate, there was only 30 percent of the surplus production. Which is sufficient for domestic consumption but certainly not enough for chest delivery.
Right now, only the northern part of the Empire was without an industrial estate. But because now the north region has started the construction of basic infrastructure. And wage rates that are lower than in other areas. Now the northern part of the Empire has begun to watch businessmen investing in establishing an industrial factory.
The Empire's stock exchange is now two. Shenzhou and Dongzhou returned to their previous state of the economic crisis.
Industrial expansion began to increase. This time, no need to worry about another economic crisis. Because there is purchasing power from abroad to absorb the manufactured products. According to preliminary estimates by the government, it is expected that the Empire has five times the number of industrial plants to be able to produce enough products for export, where this level of production will saturate the foreign purchasing power.
Soon until the Empire reaches that time, it is afraid it will take some time before another economic crisis occurs. The government has already prepared a plan to deal with it next time, so it will not repeat itself again.
And now the imperial foreign ministry is in great turmoil with welcoming ambassadors from all four countries.
