Chapter 452: New Era (Part 2)
After entering the first year of the Galaxy.
The world pattern has undergone a fundamental change.
The landmark event of this transformation was the founding ceremony of Sapiens.
A global stock market crash followed, and then the Free Alliance led by America announced a physical disconnection from the rest of the world.
Various social commentators called this event the beginning of the "era of anti-globalization."
Indeed, the world no longer has the conditions for economic .
The Free Association is creating its own small circle, and the European Association, Russia and the Far East are also creating their own small circles.
If they don't form their own closed circle, they will never be able to compete with Homo sapiens companies in the free market.
For example, in the international trade market at this time, small shrimps in Africa usually exchange minerals for gold, and then use the gold to purchase food, daily necessities, home appliances, etc.
As for why we purchase from Homo sapiens companies instead of other economies, the reason is very simple.
At this time, the Port of Colombo on the Island of Ceylon was the largest trading city in the Ceylon Ocean region.
The commodity trading center that was relocated from Yangon had a crowded trading hall.
Curry, the new head of Persian International Trading Company, is making various purchases with his subordinates.
He looked at the price scrolling panel in the trading hall, which displayed product quotes from various city-level branches of the Sapiens Company.
For example, Chiang Mai fragrant rice costs 123 gold yuan per ton, Red Sea virus-free broken rice costs 53 gold yuan per ton, and Ganges premium long-grain rice costs 84 gold yuan per ton.
Curry ordered: "Purchase 500,000 tons of Red Sea detoxified broken rice."
"Got it, Manager Curry." The trader quickly inquired about the Red Sea Rice Company's inventory status through the system's built-in communication software.
This Red Sea detoxified broken rice is very popular in the international market. It can not only be eaten by humans, but also used as feed.
The key is that it is very cheap.
As the second largest trading partner of the Homo Sapiens Company, the Homo Sapiens Company purchases large quantities of oil and natural gas from Persia all year round. Persia, which has obtained a large amount of foreign exchange, naturally spends money on shopping.
Although Persia had a large amount of foreign exchange in gold and dollars, it did not mean that they spent money lavishly.
Why are there so many places willing to cooperate with Sapiens even though they know that Sapiens has evil intentions?
The reason is very simple, that is, the price is fair and the quality is good.
When Sapiens purchases local minerals, the prices are very reasonable and relatively stable.
The other party purchases materials produced by Zhiren Company at prices that are also lower than those of equivalent international products.
For example, the Red Sea detoxified broken rice in front of us is only 53 gold yuan per ton, equivalent to US$106.
However, it is wishful thinking to buy broken rice at 53 gold yuan per ton in the international grain market. Even if ABC D pours all the rice into the sea, they will not sell it at this price.
After all, the price is 53 gold yuan per ton, and deducting the production cost and transportation cost, you still have to lose dozens of yuan.
This is not business, this is charity.
However, the Red Sea Rice Company under the Sapiens Company can still earn about 8 gold yuan per ton. This is mainly because of its large production capacity, coupled with the assistance of various high-tech technologies, which can reduce the overall cost to such a low level.
Therefore, as the head of the Persian Trading Company, what he pursues is good quality and low prices. He can't just ignore the cheap ones and go specifically to purchase the expensive grains of ABCD, right?
The same goes for other products.
Many regions make money and spend money. If they purchase products from other forces, not only will the prices be inflated, but the product quality will also be inferior to that of similar products from the Zhiren Company.
Against the backdrop of deglobalization, these backward regions can now only rely on selling mines to make money and then support themselves internally.
As for why another economy with very strong manufacturing industry is not accepted by backward regions, the reason is very simple: the cost-effectiveness is not high.
When selling the same quality of ore, the purchasing price of the Homo Sapiens Company will fluctuate according to the price in the international market, resulting in some price differences.
However, the value of gold yuan is very high, so many people prefer to use gold yuan for consumption because it is very cost-effective.
If products from other economies or large companies want to compete with Sapiens, they must lower their product prices.
But this is not Gazi Ge’s live broadcast room. A Philips mobile phone worth 8,900 yuan can be easily charged up to 1,800 yuan.
The selling price of Zhiren Company's products needs to be investigated and analyzed by the marketing department before they can be officially listed for sale.
Typically, the marketing department will deliberately lower the price below the cost price of similar products, making it impossible for competitors' products to compete with Sapiens.
This is why companies like ABCD, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are being suppressed by Homo Sapiens.
Sapiens' products are of high quality and low price, while other companies' products are not even as high as Sapiens's in cost price, so how can they compete?
Not to mention that they are still creating closed small circles and playing the internal circulation of the internal market.
Under such circumstances, competitiveness in the international market will naturally decline rapidly.
The reason for the decline in international trade competitiveness is that after each region is closed, their currency will inevitably be confined to a certain area and lose the possibility of becoming a world currency.
After the Free Association led by America announced the cutting off of private communication optical cables and the enclosure of its own territory, the US dollar began to lose its qualifications as a world currency.
Many small forces are worried that the US dollar will suddenly depreciate, not to mention other mainstream currencies.
The only strong currency in the world now is the gold yuan.
Therefore, small forces or companies that started out in small places all required the use of gold yuan in trade and did not accept other currencies.
This situation is the reason for the rapid decline in international trade among major economies.
They have secretly asked all internal companies not to have any cooperation with the Sapiens Company, which has resulted in them having no money.
However, their own currencies are not recognized, and small forces are worried that the other party’s currency will suddenly depreciate.
As for the currency swap, it is also useless.
The international trade market at this moment has become completely different from that of a few years ago. The specific difference lies in the production cost.
Why did Persia International Trade Company not choose ABCD to purchase grain? It was because ABCD could not provide good quality and cheap grain.
This is the key issue in the current international trade environment.
The gold dollar, as the world's currency, has been excluded by major economies, while the production costs of these economies remain high.
If currency swaps are adopted, small forces will definitely suffer losses.
Therefore, the scale of their international trade is destined to shrink rapidly.
Through a series of means, the Homo Sapiens Company completely occupied the market , and at the same time, various mineral resources were continuously transported back from these places.
This is also the reason why Sapiens companies can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai State in the era of de-globalization.
In addition to the huge changes in international trade, another thing also began to ferment, that is, the life extension technology and biochips announced by Li Qingye.
Although all major forces secretly blocked the relevant information, there were still some that slipped through the net and secretly spread the information about biochips and life extension technology.
Those who are worried about not being able to leave in the future should quickly go to some marginal areas or free ports.
For example, in Hong Kong, a lot of people suddenly poured in at this time. They were all young people who were eager to join the Zhiren company.
