Chapter 99: Bottom-fishing in the manufacturing industry
It's just dawn.
In the command center of the Royal Guard, Yang Ming found Edwang sitting in the corner.
Yang Ming was covered in mud and looked very embarrassed, with his hands slightly red and swollen.
Adwang put his hands in his messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was blank and unfocused.
"Your Highness."
Yang Ming called softly: "Edwang?"
The already quiet command desk became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Men and women in military uniforms turned their heads to look at this corner.
Adwant forced an ugly smile, his cracked lips trembled slightly, and his hoarse voice had a slight tremor.
"More than 20,000 people..."
Edwang's eyes were red. "More than 20,000 people were killed or injured last night. This is a huge disaster that has never happened in our history. There were more than a thousand car accidents... Those hovercraft manufacturers said that their cars were safe, but that was all bullshit!"
There was a little sobbing sound from the corner.
Yang Ming slowly walked up to Edwang .
Edwang took a deep breath and said calmly, "We are done, Ming."
"Why?" Yang Ming asked.
"You know why, why are you asking?"
Edwin suddenly became excited:
"These New Federation bastards! They destroyed us last night! They destroyed us so easily!"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "We are not dead yet, Edewang. The disaster has been brought under control. The hospital and police station have resumed work, and the army is distributing emergency food. The other four administrative planets have sent support troops."
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Adwant shouted in a trembling voice:
"Those citizens' deaths will definitely not be in vain... I really want to say this, I really want to say this! But I can't do anything for them, I can't get revenge! I can't see the hope of defeating the New Federation in my lifetime! I can't see it in my lifetime!"
Yang Ming just stared at Edwang.
It seemed that Adwang had found an outlet for his emotions. He had stood up and was walking down the stairs, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
"Well, let me tell you why we are done.
"The financial industry is about to collapse. Yilandu City has suffered a direct war attack. Almost all capital and merchants will leave here. Our currency will depreciate rapidly, and most of the people's wealth will evaporate in a short period of time.
“The rebellion of the Fifth Administrative Planet will not affect the Ilando Planet at all, but now, our enemy is the New Federation, and they have attacked our Prime Planet!
“Our country has lost its investment value! Both foreign and local assets will leave!
"Following this, the banking and insurance industries will fall into crisis, and the unemployment rate will explode in a short period of time! There will inevitably be a risk of bank runs, and Luofeng's already fragile economic system will collapse in an instant!
“Even if, even if we can use excessive bailouts to temporarily save this economic system.
“Half an hour ago, the New Federation announced that it would impose economic sanctions on us. They listed a list of 3,000 companies.
"If multinational corporations do not withdraw from Luofeng, they will be sanctioned by them. Domestic enterprises in our country are prohibited from using any production patents related to the New Federation. Soon we will not even be able to build a hovercraft!
"Even those greedy consortium giants have already set their sights on us.
“When we can no longer hold on, they will rush over and tear us apart like crazy, hollowing out our country and leaving behind five extremely poor administrative planets, where hunger is the tragedy of human nature every day.
"We're fucked!"
Edwan covered his head with his hands, sat back on the steps dejectedly, and muttered with lifeless eyes.
"Ming, we have imagined what would happen if the New Federation declared war on us. We can completely rely on the Sherman Empire.
“But no one expected that the New Federation would use high-tech warships to launch an asymmetric attack on us, and our defense system was easily pierced like a blank sheet of paper.
"Ming, even if you leave this bankrupt country now, I won't have any complaints. I understand the situation."
"I will not leave."
Yang Ming thought for a moment and said slowly:
"Things are going to get tough, but it's not going to happen yet, and it's not impossible to deal with it."
Edwang smiled bitterly and said, “You are going to give me chicken soup again.”
"Is not it?"
Yang Ming walked over and sat next to Edwang in front of a group of soldiers and officers, and patted his knee.
"I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, and all citizens in this country are under a lot of pressure right now.
“The New Federation wants to strangle this country to demonstrate the strength of their country.
"When I arrived, I just received news that the Emperor had fallen into a coma, the eldest prince went to the Second Administrative Planet overnight, and the third prince is now on the back of the Yilandu Planet.
“If you collapse again, I’m afraid there’s really no hope for this country.
"Don't worry about the rich people now. They can leave if they want. They are all vampires anyway if they stay here.
"You have to think about what you have left."
Adwant murmured, "What is it?"
"Natural resources," Yang Ming said, "Rhodium-6 core industry."
"This industry simply cannot provide so many jobs."
"You still have a population of more than one billion," Yang Ming said, "eleven administrative stars and nearly a hundred resource stars in development. These are the real skeleton of this country."
Adwant frowned tightly.
Yang Ming continued:
“You understand economics, so you are afraid of the sharp decline in wealth that will be caused by the collapse of the financial industry, but at this time we need to look beyond the financial economy to look at the problem at hand.
"Now we must first ensure three things - ensuring people's livelihood, maintaining production, and stabilizing social order.
"To be more specific, we need to solve the most basic daily necessities such as food, electricity, fresh water, heating and energy, set up a state-owned asset management agency as quickly as possible, negotiate with those capitalists who want to flee, and use all means to make them leave their production equipment behind.
"Wake up quickly, Edwan! You are an expert in these matters, now you must race against time!"
"call--"
Edwin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured:
"I don't care about the rich, but the remaining 93 percent of the people. I want them to have enough money to buy basic necessities. Food is the most critical strategic resource."
"That's it," Yang Ming said, "Life will get better after a while. If social order collapses completely, that would be a real comprehensive crisis."
Edwang's eyes lit up a little more, and he frowned and said, "But our treasury funds are not enough, and there is no way to revitalize the entire market. Although our country is not too big, the manufacturing industry involves all aspects. It is too complicated and too huge!"
Yang Ming curled his lips and said, "You have plenty of ways to get money. You control a huge amount of wealth yourself."
"My father is in a coma now," said Adwant with a frown, "I must ask for his permission before I can use a large amount of royal assets."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor may not reject this proposal."
Edwan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If I really do this, when my father wakes up, he might kill me."
Before Yang Ming could say anything, Edward stood up suddenly.
“So I have to complete enough acquisitions before my father kills me!
"If the Luofeng royal family cannot stand up and protect their people at a time like this, then what is the meaning of the existence of this royal family!
"Yes, I must provide for my country!"
There was no hesitation in Edwan's eyes.
What he saw was a group of old, middle-aged and young officers and soldiers, who were staring at him with burning eyes.
"Well, it has nothing to do with your military system. I want to develop the economy and protect people's livelihood. I don't need a laser gun to develop the economy."
With just one sentence, Edwang instantly extinguished the fighting spirit of these soldiers that had just been ignited.
"General Felimon! Yang Ming will assist you in completing the disaster relief mission! Reduce casualties to a minimum."
Old Felimon immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, my Lord."
"Send someone to bring all the ministers who can still move and think to the palace meeting room as quickly as possible."
"yes!"
Adwang took out his network terminal which had just restored slow communication, sent out more than a dozen messages in succession, and slowly walked to the door of the command room.
He opened the door and left quickly.
Just as a group of officers were about to lower their heads and continue working, Edwan pushed the door open again and stuck his head in.
"If this can motivate you... I swear, I will make the New Federation pay the price for their war!"
An old officer was holding up his cane in the corner, shouting excitedly: "Yeah——"
Daodao shifted his gaze over and the old officer put down his cane guiltily.
Ed Wang curled his lips: "Very good support."
boom!
The hall door was closed by Edwan.
Yang Ming could almost see his brisk back.
This is Edwin.
Yang Ming stretched his legs, took out the replacement device he had just obtained, a bar-type network access terminal, and sent a message to Lu.
'Buy the manufacturing industry at the bottom, don't touch people's livelihood.'
Ding ding!
'receive.'
Yang Ming looked around and found a sofa with no one sitting on it. He slowly walked over and lay down on the sofa with his body covered in mud. He closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while. The officers and soldiers around him did not dare to disturb him.
Ding ding!
Lu sent a message: 'Boss, Uncle Hatton wants to buy the bottom together.'
Yang Ming smiled slightly and immediately replied:
"Take him with you. This is a big business. The more money we have, the better. In abnormal times, we are allowed to use abnormal means. No matter which factories and enterprises we take over, our first priority is to ensure that they run smoothly."
'clear.'
Yang Minggang closed his eyes for more than ten minutes, then opened them and stood up.
Edwan couldn't take care of the old emperor now. He had to go and say hello to Princess Dana.
…
In the thinking space, Lu's eyes were glowing red.
Oh, the boss finally gave me permission!
The boss said they wanted to buy at the bottom, but they simply did not have the extra funds to do so, and they could not even come up with a cash flow comparable to Kolev's.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as her boss allows her to use abnormal means, she has plenty of ways to make money.
The most efficient way now is to use the money from neighboring banks to purchase low-priced high-quality assets sold by Luofeng Enterprise, and use the comprehensive information advantage to earn start-up capital by reselling a few times.
The law is not prepared for single-line or single-transaction operations.
Nor is it intended to conduct only legal operations.
Lu waved his hands rapidly, and dialog boxes and transaction interfaces popped up one after another in front of him.
A company named Miss Molly was quickly registered in Luofeng's neighboring country.
…
The emperor's bedroom was blocked by a large number of guards.
When Yang Ming arrived here after changing his clothes, he was stopped by the guards with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Major, His Majesty is still not awake. According to the princess's order, no one is allowed to approach now."
"I am here on the orders of His Majesty Adwang to understand His Majesty's health condition," Yang Ming said, "I don't want to embarrass you all, please let me know. If the princess doesn't allow me to, I will leave."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The guard bowed his head and saluted, then turned around to report.
The two rows of mechanical soldiers stood there with their heads down, already in shutdown mode.
The old emperor should be in the same situation, and who knows how many components of his positron brain might have been burned.
Soon, the guard came over with a somewhat apologetic look on his face and shook his head slightly at Yang Ming. Just as Yang Ming was about to leave, a maid opened the palace gate, holding an old-fashioned network access terminal in her hand.
"Major Yang Ming! The princess hopes you can answer the voice call."
Yang Ming stared at the network access terminal in front of him.
He suddenly realized what Princess Daina urgently needed right now.
Electronic component.
Repair the bionic robot parts used by the old intelligent emperor.
Princess Daina didn't let me in, but asked me to answer orders... And the maid in front of me was the maid that Daina trusted the most...
Yang Ming realized that there were two problems facing him.
First, if the old emperor wakes up so quickly, all of Adwant’s plans will be at risk of being obstructed.
Second, if he helped Princess Dana, Princess Dana might kill him afterwards to silence him.
Yang Ming is not afraid of Dana, but this is the period of rapid development for him, and it is best not to encounter any difficulties.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming raised his hand to grab the network access terminal, but his palms were empty, his eyes were blurry, and his body stepped back a few steps. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and his breathing became rapid.
"Major Yang Ming!"
The guards rushed forward to support Yang Ming.
Yang Ming whispered: "What's wrong with me?"
"Are you too tired?"
"Maybe," Yang Ming looked at the network terminal in the maid's hand, "I'm afraid I need to take a rest first... Ahem, ahem, let me answer the princess's order first."
"No need," the maid said hurriedly, "You should have a good rest first!"
Yang Ming did not insist, and with the help of two guards, he went to the nearest guard lounge.
Acting skills may not be necessary at normal times, but they are necessary at critical moments.
Yang Ming pondered for a moment, and when there was no one around, he sent a message to Lu.
"Let the old emperor sleep a few more days."
