Courtyard light

Chapter 850 Come and go

Not only the map, but also the other accompanying personnel were deeply moved when they saw this scene on the road.

Many of them had even been to Kyoto before, and comparing this to what Kyoto looked like before, these people felt as if they had arrived in a developed Western country.

High-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and some of them even use glass curtain walls, which are even more dazzling under the spring sunshine.

The two-way ten-lane road looks so wide.

Of course it looks wide now because there are no vehicles on the road.

You can imagine how busy such roads are on normal days.

There seem to be some cypress trees planted in the green belt on the side of the road, and they are neatly trimmed.

White street lights stretched out one by one into the distance, and there was not a single electric wire to be seen on the entire road.

If it weren't for the Chinese signboards everywhere, the map's entourage would have thought they had arrived in a developed Western country, and it seemed to be better than other developed Western countries.

The ground is clean and tidy!

They attended related activities during the day, and at night, Map and others looked at the scenery outside the window.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the density of vehicles on the road illuminated by street lights is surprising.

And it doesn't look fake because of the license plates and types of cars.

"Oh!" Map sighed. From the moment the plane began to land until now, what he saw made him feel deeply moved.

The map also knows what the problem of its own country is now, that is, there is a group of people who continue to hollow out the country.

Map is well aware of this, mainly because the previous president was too incompetent and took the lead in corruption. There are now more than 2400 gangs in the country, and these 2400 gangs are in collusion with many departments and officials.

Although the map has taken anti-corruption measures, the results have been minimal because everyone from top to bottom is doing the same.

Maps knows that this is not the right way to go, so they want to push for change.

The map also knows that if it is not changed, the situation will become worse, but if it is changed, there is still a possibility of success.

However, the situation around the map is more complicated. Not only is it filled with various groups, but there are also some pro-Western groups.

These people were originally sucking blood from the fat bear, and the map was changing, which was exactly what they wanted to see.

Because these people want to seize more wealth in a fair and honest way.

However, what is giving Maps a headache now is that there is no problem with the normalization of bilateral relations, but in terms of trade, many things in our own country are looked down upon by our neighbors here.

The construction machinery of our neighbor has been the world's top exporter for many years in a row. Various kinds of construction machinery are exported to arid and barren Africa, scorching Middle East, tropical rain forests of South America, and even Northern Europe.

The types of engineering machinery in some Eastern countries have covered almost all engineering machinery, and the materials used in different regions are also different, including the metal materials, rubber materials, lubricants, etc. of the engineering machinery itself.

Moreover, some Eastern countries were the first to install air conditioning on construction machinery. Not only were they the first to install air conditioning on construction machinery, they were also the first to install air conditioning on tanks.

Just this small move has allowed the engineering machinery of some Eastern countries to occupy Africa, the Middle East, and South America.

As for minerals and energy, the map also shows that some Eastern countries have close contacts with European consortiums and distributors, forming a circular business chain.

Take iron ore for example. Although Feixiong has large reserves of iron ore, the cost of mining it is far greater than the international iron ore price.

Mainly due to the climate of the fat bear, the mining of iron ore can only be maintained for half a year.

Moreover, the only way for Fat Bear to reach certain countries in the East is by rail, but now this railway is simply unable to meet the needs of heavy loads.

Besides, the cost of rail transportation is much higher than that of sea transportation.

Some Eastern countries import mineral resources from Australia, Brazil and Africa through sea transportation and a mature logistics system.

This makes Fat Bear's mineral resources not have much advantage.

The only thing they can show off is energy, but some Eastern countries also revealed today that they still have an oil field with a capacity of 100 million tons, which has not yet been exploited and is sealed.

Not to mention that the two Middle Eastern countries still have nearly 10 years of energy debt.

As for processing machinery, the processing machinery of some Eastern countries has been sold all over the world. They are no longer the countries that had to exchange various agricultural products for processing machinery.

Even in some areas of precision machining and CNC machining, it has reached world-class levels. Especially with the support of the semiconductor field, CNC machining has further taken the lead in the world.

Don't ask how the map knows this. Ever since some Eastern countries began exporting engineering machinery, the export volume of Fat Bear's engineering machinery and processing machinery has been decreasing. In the beginning, it could earn several billion rubles a year, but later it became less than 1/10 of the previous amount.

The same goes for processing equipment. Some Eastern countries are upgrading their industries by refurbishing their previous processing equipment and then selling them to the world at a low price.

Map's entourage is also thinking about in which areas to cooperate after the normalization of relations between the two sides.

After much thought, Map realized that the only bulk commodity that his country could offer was energy. As long as some countries in the East were willing to pay in pounds, dollars, or francs, the price would be lower.

On the second and third days, the two sides held discussions.

On the fourth and final day, the map headed to the streets of Kyoto.

The map has arrived at the largest self-service supermarket in Kyoto.

Wanjiafu Supermarket, with its rows of shelves piled high with all kinds of merchandise, shocked the people there.

Especially looking at the fruit section in the supermarket, tropical fruits are shockingly cheap here.

There are also various vegetables, meat and poultry. There are no restrictions here, you can buy as much as you want.

The map even shows caviar produced by some Eastern countries themselves...

There are also various high-end liquors, wines, and distilled spirits from all over the world, displayed openly on the shelves.

There are also countless kinds of beverages. Looking at the map, there are more than ten brands of cola alone. In addition to Pepsi and Coca-Cola from the West, there are many other colas.

There are also various fruit juices and various plant drinks.

These plant-based beverages, including tea drinks, also have a large market in the West.

The drinks were primarily promoted through the animated film Kung Fu Panda.

With a wide variety of merchandise, customers only need to push the shopping cart, select the goods they like, and then go out to check out.

Not only is there a self-service shopping area, but there are also counters opened by various brands from all over the world, a wide range of luxury goods, and dazzling jewelry.

There is even a children's playground, a cinema, and many restaurants.

This is no longer just a place to sell goods.

There is everything here for eating, drinking and having fun.

I visited Wanjiafu Supermarket in the morning and had lunch there. This supermarket offers a variety of food from all over the world.

Of course there are also local snacks.

In the afternoon, we visited a Panda computer factory in Kyoto.

In the spacious and bright factory, workers are skillfully assembling parts on the production lines.

Panda Computer has not just one assembly factory, but four across the country. The parts for Panda Computer's assembly factories come from hundreds of upstream manufacturers. Some manufacturers specialize in producing plugs. Because electricity standards are not the same around the world, everything from plugs to other things are different in each region, so different batches of computers have to be produced.

The current factory price of the first generation Panda computer is less than US$2000, and the factory price of the second generation Panda computer is about US$4000.

Map and others were looking at the computers, which were stacks of US dollars.

Panda Computer generated tens of billions of dollars in computer exports alone last year!

Map and others were so envious. Of course, the person in charge of the Panda Computer Factory himself did not say how many units were shipped each year or how much money was earned each year.

Because these are already public data, there is no need to show off now.

At some point, Map even had an impulse that it would be great if these Panda computers were produced in his own country, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the debt.

Hundreds of billions of dollars, and this is just for computers, not including Internet hardware equipment.

After these computers are produced, they will flow to the world through various logistics channels.

Moreover, Feixiong will have to import a large number of these computers in the future, because Panda computers will also be needed after the Internet is connected.

People in China are also gearing up for the opportunity, as the Internet has created one wealth myth after another.

As long as the Internet is accessible to one's own country, then one's own country can also make money on the Internet.

Then we visited the Panda mobile phone factory, which of course is just an assembly factory.

To be honest, I am very envious of the map. The foreign exchange earnings brought by these two products, computers and mobile phones, are many times more than those of my own country.

These Panda phones will also enter the Fat Bear market in the future.

Map and others also wanted to visit Fenghuo Technology Company, but representatives from some Eastern countries said that this was a private enterprise and the boss was not in the country, so they could not communicate with the other party!
Although Map was a little unhappy, there was nothing he could do.

As for other businesses, such as the Kyoto Motorcycle Factory and the aircraft manufacturing plant, these maps are not of concern.

Because what Fat Bear lacks now is not engineering machinery or airplanes, but various light industrial products and money.

The map came and went, and before it left, both sides issued a joint speech, which was to normalize relations, open more border ports, and establish a border mutual trust mechanism in the future.

This trip had a huge impact on the map.

The changes in some Eastern countries are so great that I can’t even imagine it. Although I have learned about it from various materials before, it was only when I saw it in person that I realized that some Eastern countries have truly stood up.

The new destroyers of some Eastern countries are even only slightly inferior in performance to the Bald Eagle's unserved destroyers.

"It's mainly energy transactions. Feixiong is stronger than us in rocket engines and aircraft engine manufacturing. However, we have also surpassed them in some areas of rocket engines." Sun Aiguo and Liu Hai were drinking tea. Sun Aiguo was telling Liu Hai what Map had done this time and what kind of cooperation there would be in the future.

In fact, by 2020, we are no longer weak in the field of rocket engines. Without looking at other things, just look at hypersonic and professional anti-aircraft carrier ones.

If these things want to perform well, they must first have a good heart.

In fact, at this stage in the field of materials, especially ultra-high temperature materials and low temperature materials, we are not inferior to Fat Bear at all.

Of course, Fat Bear will definitely not sell its rocket engine technology at this stage, as this is the core thing.

The engine of a strategic bomber is also the most core thing.

"Finally, after much discussion, the two sides decided that the only direction of cooperation could be energy."

"But Map's entourage is willing to do some business with us. They are willing to dispose of some bad assets."

"Fat Bear is facing too much debt now, not just domestic debt."

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this. Fei Xiong’s resources were indeed extremely abundant, not only energy but also mineral resources. It was just that the cost of their mineral development was too high.

"Many people have contacted Feixiong to import Panda computers, Panda phones and related equipment."

“And the demand is not low!”

“The key is that they want to pay in rubles.”

Liu Hai heard this and said, "The exports can be handed over to the production base in Europe. Anyway, the Gallic Chicken is buying the energy from the Fat Bear."

Liu Hai really doesn't want the ruble, because it depreciated so much later on, but of course it's impossible for him to completely give it up.

"Let's start with bartering and opening up the trade channels. Although we are no weaker than Fat Bear in terms of construction machinery and processing equipment, as long as their things are cheap enough, they will have value even if they are scrap metal." There is nothing useless in this world, it's just a matter of value. If you buy construction machinery as construction machinery, you'll be a sucker, but if you buy it as scrap metal, then there's no problem.

What does Fat Bear have the most? It's scrap metal.

Didn’t you see that in 2020, Big Goose is still refurbishing the sealed scrap metal and sending it to the battlefield?

This time we will try to buy all their scrap metal.

Fat Bear has many heavy machinery processing factories. There are so many good things in them and so many tons of metal in one heavy machinery processing factory.

The wealth that Fei Xiong has accumulated over the years would fetch a lot of money even if he sells it as scrap.

"That's the truth!" Sun Aiguo nodded. Doing business is something that everyone talks about with each other.

"The only downside to doing business with Fatty Bear right now is that there are too many gangs. According to official statistics, there are over 2000 of them!"

"Old factory manager, you have to think like this. We are just doing business. Whoever is willing to give us something, we will give it to them."

"Trading markets will be established at the open border ports one after another, and trade and buying and selling will be free at that time."

"In fact, sometimes individual transactions are more convenient. Our national team can't do it because it's too ugly!"

"And there is no way for the national team to say that it is in the transaction..." Liu Hai spoke again. If the country were to come forward to make a transaction, many things would be difficult to do, such as kickbacks and the like, but if it was a private business, this would be very easy to do.

"Well, I wonder what the map will think after seeing the development of our country this time?"

"I saw the fruit section of Wanjiafu Supermarket on the map. There were so many fruits, placed in piles in the fruit area. I saw a little bit of envy in the map's eyes." Sun Aiguo let out a long sigh after he finished speaking.

The price of imported fruits from abroad is not high, mainly because of the well-developed logistics system. Ships or cargo planes transport domestically exported mobile phone and computer chips to all over the world, and when they come back, they also carry some other things. Anyway, it is much better than returning empty-handed.

Besides, our country has more than one billion people, which is itself a large market. In 2020, we will use this large market to teach those disobedient guys a lesson.
