Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 217: Excessive Consumption
"I propose to immediately start the infiltration and destruction work against Portman, and MI[-] will be fully responsible for this."

The representative looked at Qin Xu in the auditorium.

Qin Xu kept nodding at the other party's proposals.

It wasn't until the other party looked at him, and everyone looked at him, that he realized that something was wrong with the way things were going.

"General Qin Xu, I think you have no objection to this proposal, right?"

The representative said seriously.

Some people in the venue felt a little confused, and some people thought it was natural.

I thought it was natural that I should ask Qin Xu, the representative in the auditorium, who had awakened his psychic powers.

Some of those who were surprised as to why this matter had to be approved by Qin Xu were all representatives who had not yet awakened their spiritual powers.

After all, the rules don't allow this.

Qin Xu only sat in the auditorium and could only listen, but could not express opinions or decide the direction of the meeting.

But in the eyes of their representatives who had awakened their psychic powers, Qin Xu felt too coercive sitting here.

Unconsciously, it suppressed the entire venue, and there was no way to ignore it.

So much so that when they asked Qin Xu for his opinion, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

At the same time, the representatives from the Rock Republic, Kuilak and Alpha West could not understand this at all.

Because this is obviously against the rules.

But they didn't say anything. After all, none of them, the representatives, had the right to make the decision.

"Do you need my opinion?"

People who have not awakened psychic powers feel embarrassed by Qin Xu's words. Others have asked you, so just say it.

The representative who had awakened his spiritual energy had no opinion on this and just said lightly.

"General Qin Xu, you just need to express your opinion. We will consider it as appropriate."

"Then I think there's nothing wrong with what you said, so just do as you say."

"Okay, then General Qin Xu, I'll leave this matter to you."

The representative said very seriously.

"..."

Qin Xu was embarrassed for a moment. He was waiting for him here.

-

Portman capital star.

The kite flew high, and the little girl ran wildly in the park, chasing the kite away.

A man and a woman were sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade, placed a picnic mat and were taking food out of the basket.

"Honey, how long has it been since we last came to Mar-a-Lago Park?"

With a happy expression on her face, the woman took out the picnic utensils from the basket and asked her husband beside her.

Joseph took out his phone and took a look. There was a countdown on the phone.

A countdown shows the time remaining for the summer camping trip they purchased.

Next to it, it shows that 10 has been paid by credit card.

The current loan amount is 1700 million.

You have a stable job, a permanent home, a complete family, and a good credit rating.

The upper limit of the total loan amount is the annual salary multiplied by 100, totaling 5000 million yuan.

The current remaining loan amount is 3300 million yuan.

Joseph glanced at the date on the top again, put down his cell phone and said to his wife with a smile: "It has been 6 years since we last came here."

"yes……"

My wife couldn't help but sigh.It is very difficult or expensive to experience this kind of pristine and vast natural environment in the capital city of Portman, where land is at a premium.

Although they shouldn't be so extravagant at their salary level, at Portman, this is the norm.

Excessive consumption is glorious, saving is shameful.

Only money that circulates is money, money that does not circulate is just a piece of waste paper.

Adhering to this concept and national policy, Portman's entire society is in a state of constant advanced consumption.

The Portman-Rockfield plutocrat will provide over-the-top loans to people with stable jobs, and then mortgage this high-quality IOU to the bank.

Take the money from the bank and provide loans to other people with stable jobs, and then mortgage this high-quality IOU back to the bank and lend it out.

In this way, we can realize a perpetual motion machine and create trillions of economic growth out of thin air.

And because the loan amount will only be consumed and not stored, it also significantly speeds up the circulation of money.

When merchants make money from sales, they will place more orders with factories.

If the factory has more orders, it can make money, and if it makes money, it can pay more wages to the workers. When the workers have money, they can spend more.

As long as this cycle turns fast and strong enough, the country's economy will take off instantly.

Originally there was a problem in this cycle.

That is, after the factory makes more money, the amount of wages paid to workers remains unchanged.

The money that should have flowed into the pockets of workers has been intercepted and transferred to the hands of capitalists. In this case, the cycle is broken, and the more it circulates, the less money there is.

The advanced consumption of national loans solves this problem very well.

And if capitalists use this extra money to raise workers' wages through loans, then it can be achieved -

It can not only increase workers' wages, but the money still belongs to the capitalists, thus achieving a win-win situation, that is, the capitalists win twice.

In Sea Lake Park, there are several families camping here, although the price here is high and not something ordinary people can afford.

But almost everyone, looking at the tens of millions of loans in their accounts, will unknowingly spend money lavishly.

"You are……"

When Joseph was smiling and looking at his wife who had just caught her daughter who was running around and making herself dirty, someone behind him stopped him.

"Joseph? It's really you. You look familiar even though I'm far away. Are you bringing your family to the park too?"

The person who came was Joseph's colleague at the robot manufacturing factory. The two joined the company at almost the same time and were also responsible for the management of robot production in the same position.

"Emily, come here quickly and introduce to you. This is the very close colleague in the military industry that I often mention."

A blonde woman walked by with her children, twins.

Two children, a boy and a girl, hid nervously behind their mother. Emily just smiled and pulled them out from behind.

"Call uncle."

The two children were hiding behind and unwilling to come out, and Emily also seemed to have a headache.

"hurry up."

As if they sensed that their mother was angry, the two children mustered up the courage to shout, and then hid back.

"Hello, uncle."

"Okay, okay, everything is fine."

Joseph looked at the two shy children and then at his colleague Vicente.

"Vicente, what a coincidence. Speaking of which, this is the first time our two families have met."

"Yes, but I mentioned to my family very early that I have a very good friend in the company."

While smiling, Vicente asked Emily and the children to bring their picnic tools over here.

The two spread out mats and sat together on the spot, and the three children soon started playing together.

Since they would appear reserved among adults, Joseph and Vicente let them all go play far away.
