Chapter 382 Valuable Market Resources
The changes within the Sapiens company did not attract much attention from the outside world.
This is due to the company's closed economic operation model and strong internal confidentiality capabilities.
The time has come to May 3, 2023.
Li Qingye, who has been living on Bandon Island of the Luzon branch for more than half a year, took time to read the company's internal briefing for the first quarter in his spare time from researching genetic technology.
Judging from various hard indicators.
Sapiens Inc. first quarter.
The various subsidiaries under the Industrial Division, in the field of basic raw materials, produced a total of 270 million tons of steel, 32.27 million tons of electrolytic aluminum, 2.41 million tons of refined copper, 420 million tons of cement, 14.42 million tons of glass, 32.57 million tons of plastic (antifungal version), 73.6 billion cubic meters of methane, 143 million tons of oil, and 5.36 trillion kWh of electricity...
In the finished product field, 27.36 million tons of ships, 21.13 million cars, 3,725 aircraft, 57.36 million mobile phones, 27.36 million laptops, 13.55 million desktop computers, 29.68 million tablets, 730,000 medical devices, 1.67 million engineering equipment, and 75.23 million work exoskeletons were produced...
Li Qingye was not surprised by this. After all, the total number of employees at Zhiren Company was rapidly approaching the 1 billion mark.
According to the statistics of the company's human resources department.
Currently, Sapiens has 670 million employees at its Southeast Asia headquarters (including Assam branch and Ceylon branch, etc.).
After the Dongba Branch was adjusted and some natural person employees were relocated, there were still 128 million natural person employees.
The Mada Island Branch, Moon Country Branch, Seven Sisters Islands Branch and Male Islands Branch have a total of 34 million employees.
The Suez branch has 121 million employees.
The newly added West Pacific branch has 21 million employees.
The total number of employees has reached a huge scale of 974 million.
The number of migrant workers in the first quarter of this year reached a new high, with a total increase of 27.63 million migrant workers.
The largest source of migrant workers is India, followed by the Far East, Annan, Japan, West Pakistan, South Korea, and a number of small East African countries.
Li Qingye raised his head and said, "Baghira, why has the number of migrant workers in the Far East decreased? I remember that there were 8.76 million in the fourth quarter of last year. How come it has dropped by more than one million this year?"
Bagheira, who was in charge of the internal affairs department, quickly replied:
"Sir, because the Far East has recently improved a lot of welfare, and the fungal crisis has triggered the replacement of plastic products, their factories are operating at full capacity."
Li Qingye raised his eyebrows: "I see, it seems that the pressure we put on them is forcing them to make changes."
Based on the data from the back office and field departments, Bagheira can see the situation very clearly:
"Yes, but according to our assessment, this is just a temporary solution, because the foreign trade environment has deteriorated, domestic consumption is ultimately limited, and many of their resources are not self-sufficient, so the problem is only temporarily covered up."
Li Qingye did not comment on this, but only asked curiously: "What are the housing prices in Tuchuan?"
"It's still the same as always. It's still a stalemate."
Li Qingye smiled: "Then I feel relieved. It seems that we can tap into more human resources from the Far East."
When it comes to absorbing human resources from other regions, Zhiren Company has always been open to it.
When it comes to human resources, Sapiens Company is different from other forces. Whether it is high-quality talents or ordinary workers, Sapiens Company is willing to accept them unconditionally.
Its purpose is very simple. Sapiens has some biochips and various new technologies that can quickly transform ordinary workers into high-quality talents. Therefore, too many people will not become a burden, but will become an accelerator of development.
Moreover, by siphoning human resources from other regions, its development potential can be effectively weakened.
After the development of human civilization into the 21st century, small countries with a small population are destined to be unable to achieve industrialization that maintains the entire industrial chain.
The standard for a small country with a small population is a population of less than 300 million.
In other words, there are only a few forces in the world that are qualified to maintain the entire industrial chain.
Why is Russia's industry so poorly developed? Because its market has only 140 million people and cannot sustain the entire industrial chain.
There are currently only four forces in the world that have relatively complete industrial chains, namely, Sapiens, the Far East, America and the European Union.
A look at the human resources and regions of these forces will show how harsh the conditions are for playing with the entire industry chain.
Three hundred million people is just the starting point.
Sufficient resources, relatively high population quality, and a complete and stable internal environment are also needed to maintain the operation of the entire industrial chain.
None of these conditions can be missing.
For example, India had sufficient population and territory, but the remnants of the clan system were too serious and the internal business environment was extremely bad.
For example, the Kangaroo Country has a large enough territory, abundant resources, and is relatively stable internally, but its population is too small.
There is also the Redwood Federation in South America, which has a passable population and resources, but its economy is secretly controlled by America, and it is treated as an economic colony and constantly harvested.
Many people know the importance of mineral resources to a force.
But many people don’t know that human resources and market resources are equally important.
Now the Homo Sapiens company is frantically siphoning human resources from other regions in order to reduce the other party's available manpower and market.
Although Sapiens has been openly or covertly boycotted by the great powers in global trade, the human resources harvested by Sapiens have indirectly occupied a part of the market, and it is a permanent occupation.
Population is the market.
If giant companies want to maintain their internal circulation , they also need a large workforce to sustain it.
The human resources devoured by giant companies will disappear permanently from the free market.
In other words, the total number of Homo sapiens employees at this time is 974 million, which means that the free market has lost the market share of 974 million people.
That's almost one-eighth of the world's population.
Without this market of 974 million people, the free market forces will inevitably see their overall economy decline.
Market resources, which are somewhat similar to mineral resources, are very important to countries around the world today.
Market resources are inevitably closely connected with every natural person, and it is difficult to create new markets out of thin air.
The reason why Sapiens Company is hostile to Europe and the United States is that after Sapiens Company swallowed up the human resources, it did not open the market to Europe and the United States.
To be precise, Sapiens actually abides by the rules of free trade.
However, Sapiens' products are very competitive, and Sapiens can precisely control all internal employees.
In this case, the so-called free trade will lose its freedom and market resources will not be available within the Homo sapiens company.
Moreover, Homo sapiens companies continue to seize the remaining market resources in the free market.
Now, the Homo sapiens company has established a large number of trading companies in Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and Latin America, and is supporting local comprador forces in order to grab the market.
After repeated open and secret struggles, Sapiens has gained a great advantage in the global medical, mining, agricultural, food and transportation fields.
This situation is extremely unfavorable for industrial and financial countries.
But for agricultural and mining countries, as long as the Homo sapiens company is willing to support each other, the development will be good.
For example, Persia, through a series of cooperation with Sapiens Company, sells oil and natural gas to Sapiens Company, and purchases corresponding agricultural products and industrial products from Sapiens Company.
In addition to consuming some of the products themselves, Persia also started re-export trade, selling a large number of products produced by Homo sapiens companies to Central Asia, and life there was much better than before.
For example, small coastal countries in Africa also help Homo sapiens companies expand markets into inland areas of Africa through re-export trade.
While Homo sapiens companies are siphoning global human resources, they are also expanding their markets. This double squeeze has created tremendous pressure and impact on industrial and financial countries.
