Rise of Australia

Chapter 539 Luxury Goods Street
The situation in Ireland collapsed so quickly that the British government must not have expected it.

But if we make a summary, we can only say that the British's long-term oppressive attitude towards the Irish is the culprit. Even if large-scale demonstrations broke out in Ireland, the British government still did not take it to heart.

Whether it was the blind shooting of the police at the beginning or the wanton arrests of marchers by local police officers, there is no doubt that they accelerated the deterioration of the situation in Ireland.

But so far, the British government feels that they can still quell the rebellion in Ireland at any time. After all, the power of the British Empire has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No external powers can defeat the British Empire, let alone a small Ireland.

Of course, the Irish War of Independence had nothing to do with Australasia, and Arthur had absolutely no intention of intervening.

No matter what, the British are now fully capable of suppressing Ireland, and at least maintaining the framework of the British Empire is completely fine.

Compared with the Irish War of Independence, Arthur paid more attention to the Philippine War of Independence. After all, this was a war that Australasia could control and was one of the protagonists.

Of course, the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence also made Arthur a little worried. After all, there were many Irish people in Australasia.

But thinking of the current situation in Australasia, most of Arthur's worries dissipated.

First of all, the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence was the result of Britain's long-term oppression of the Irish, which also involves historical issues in England and Ireland.

At present, the Irish people in Australasia are living a very good life. There is no oppression among the various ethnic groups in Australasia. The concept of a unified Australasian people is still very popular.

What's more, although Australasia is a multi-ethnic country, the various ethnic groups do not form fixed gathering places, but are scattered in various cities, making it impossible to form a parade on the scale of Ireland.

Various reasons determine that the situation in Australasia is unlikely to develop like the British mainland. Arthur is relatively reassured about this.

As long as the proportion of British people exceeds half of the total population of Australasia, the situation in Australasia can maintain overall stability, and there will basically be no problems.

After confirming that the Philippine War of Independence was developing as he thought, Arthur turned his attention back to the development of Australasia.

After 20 years of development, Sydney has become one of the most populous cities in the world, and its level of development is not inferior to that of European countries.

Of course, this is also a common problem in Australasia.Compared with Europe, the big cities in Australasia are not far behind. The only thing that lags behind is the number of big cities. To put it bluntly, it is still a problem of population.

Although the development of Sydney and Melbourne is not inferior to that of large cities in European countries, the problem is that these two cities are the only ones with higher development levels in Australasia.

Although it has been determined that the capital of Australasia in a few years will be St. Arthur's Castle, which is currently under construction, this still does not prevent the government from carrying out new planning and construction for Sydney and Melbourne, such as the two streets that are about to be built in Sydney. .

These two streets connect the most central streets in Sydney and are located in the middle of the Sydney expansion area. They are considered the top priority for the next construction.

In order to make up for the vacancies in Sydney as a developed city, these two streets, one as a financial street and the other as a shopping street, will be the top economic priority in the future construction of Sydney's new urban areas.

Needless to say, Financial Street goes without saying. The Old Street of Sydney connected to this street is home to three of the largest banks in Australasia.

Unsurprisingly, the new Financial Street will also build branches of three banks, and will also attract investment from around the world. It will become the most important financial street in Sydney in the future.

The other shopping street is naturally not an ordinary street. It will be a concentration center for Australasian luxury goods. Luxury goods from all over the country and even the world can be seen here, further promoting the development of Sydney and Australasia. economy.

Red wines from Arthur’s private winery will also be sold publicly here and serve as one of the flagship products, further building the reputation of Sydney’s shopping streets.

These two streets will be built first in Sydney. If successful, corresponding streets will also be built in Melbourne, and there are even plans for the new capital.

Overall, the populations of Sydney and Melbourne can fully support these two streets.At present, the populations of Sydney and Melbourne have both exceeded 300 million. They are also the two major megacities in Australasia and are still very famous internationally.

The construction of such a shopping street is not only to promote the economic flow of Australasia, but also to further enhance Australasia's tourism reputation and attract more wealthy foreign businessmen to come to Australasia to buy luxury goods.

After all, the Australasian government can collect taxes on all consumption in shopping streets, which has been a considerable income for a long time. It can also build the reputation of Australasia. It is definitely a business that will make a profit without losing any money.

In addition to the construction of new urban areas, the renovation of old urban areas and the improvement of some buildings are also a very important part of Sydney's construction.

As one of the two largest cities in Australasia, Sydney is the face of Australasia, and all construction must be 100% attentive.

The first is the maintenance of the sanitary environment of some famous tourist attractions in Sydney. This is related to Australasia's reputation to the outside world. Therefore, the government attaches great importance to it and has promulgated corresponding sanitary laws.The second is the comprehensive popularization of electricity. Street lights are installed on almost all roads in Sydney, providing lighting for the city.

Because of the popularity of automobiles, corresponding traffic light devices have also been born.Out of consideration for the lives of car drivers and other people, under Arthur's order, the government improved the traffic laws, added traffic lights to the traffic laws, and added some traffic regulations.

For example, zebra crossings, intersection guide lines, lane divisions, traffic lights and rules for giving way to pedestrians have all been made into a simple traffic law manual, which every Australasian who obtains a driver's license needs to know and be familiar with of.

Yes, in order to regulate the automobile environment, Australasia has issued a driver's license, which is still very easy to pass compared to later generations.

After all, cars don't travel very fast now. Those who own cars are either experienced drivers who make a living from this, or they are high-ranking officials, and no one would make fun of their own lives.

The Australasian Traffic Law specifically stipulates that the maximum speed of small cars on urban roads must not exceed 50 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed of large trucks cannot exceed 40 kilometers per hour.

The speed limit on suburban roads has been increased to 60 kilometers and 50 kilometers, and there is a relatively complete set of traffic liability classification guidelines to ensure that any traffic accidents can properly divide responsibilities.

As for highways, don’t even think about them in the short term.Not only can the relevant configurations of cars fail to keep up, but the road construction environment cannot be so smooth. Raising the speed limit will only increase the probability of accidents.

I have to admit that humans are still very precise in looking for business opportunities.

In recent times, the taxi industry and the transport truck industry have ushered in huge business opportunities. Many taxi drivers and truck drivers make a living from this and have accumulated a lot of wealth.

Although a car is relatively expensive, the cost of taking a car for a short period of time is not expensive. This also allows many middle-class families to choose taxis when traveling, providing a large source of income for the taxi industry.

The same is true for the haul truck industry.Most manufacturers cannot afford to purchase a large number of trucks. Compared with this, cooperating with a transportation fleet for a short or long time has become a more cost-effective option.

When a manufacturer does not need transportation, the transportation fleet can also serve other manufacturers and earn income from both ends.

After a long period of development, these two industries have given birth to many taxi companies and transport companies that have taken shape, allowing many Australasians to succeed.

It is worth mentioning that although the sales of Benz One have entered a declining stage, the sales of several trucks of Benz Automobile are still on the rise.

Benz Automobile Factory is also developing cars with different shapes, and the results will be available soon. It is expected that a new round of car buying craze will break out.

Although Benz One supports different colors, after all, it is a car that has been sold for more than ten years, and its appearance design is already relatively backward.

Benz Automobile Factory is not obsessed with the sales of Benz One. The new generation of Benz cars not only have a completely different appearance design from Benz One, but also the interior and related hardware are different.

Under Arthur's influence, Benz Automobile Factory was not satisfied with its current results and still had a good spirit of exploration for cars.

According to the results of Benz's report, a new generation of Benz cars will be born within two years. After a period of testing, they can be sold simultaneously around the world.

Just in time to cut another wave of leeks before the arrival of the global economic crisis. Otherwise, after the economic crisis breaks out, no matter how eye-catching the design of the new generation of Benz cars is, it will be impossible to achieve good sales results.

Speaking of cutting leeks, Arthur is actually looking forward to the Sydney radio factory that has been built.

The construction technology of the radio is relatively simple, and even the simplest principle of the mineral radio may cost less than five Australian dollars.

But such a radio is fully capable of receiving signals from nearby broadcast base stations and realizing wireless broadcast reception.

If combined with several radio stations to broadcast different news and programs, it will definitely attract the attention of many people.

Low prices can also create a larger market. If marketed well, radios, including radio wave technology, can be sold to other countries and make a lot of money.
