Instead of staying at home for a few days, Ye Quan first went to Oriental New Town to reassure people, meet with important partners, hold several meetings with the senior management of various groups, and formulate contingency measures in the face of the global crisis.

During the six months that Ye Quan was in the Hidden Gate, the situation in the major oceans was not optimistic.

In short, the world is starting to mess up.

By July, a large number of sea monsters had appeared in various seas, attacking passing ships everywhere, blocking sea routes, devaluing marine fisheries and causing a sharp decline in seafood.

The navies of various countries have dispatched to clear the sea monsters or escort the merchant ships, but the situation has not improved, and the targets targeted by the sea monsters will not escape the fate of destruction nine times out of ten.

The global maritime trade has been hit hard, the flow of commodities has been blocked, the total international trade has shrunk significantly, and the import and export industries and manufacturing industries of various countries have also been greatly affected, and the entire world economy has suffered a catastrophe.

As the world's factory, Xinhua's import and export business has also been seriously damaged, products can not be shipped out, raw materials can not be transported in, a large number of domestic factories and companies, in the severe situation of poor export channels, have to reduce production, stop work, lay off employees and even go bankrupt, everywhere is wailing.

Many people lost their breadwinner's jobs overnight, and unemployment was rampant.

Although the government quickly adopted a series of rescue and stimulus measures, such as expanding domestic demand, increasing the construction of roads, aviation, new energy, etc., and even taking advantage of the crisis to optimize the economic structure by administrative means, accelerating the speed of economic transformation and upgrading.

It's just that the impact of this crisis is too great, and it is difficult to save the car for a while.

Some developing countries that rely on resources and manufacturing exports are in a situation where exports are hopeless. Facing a severe test.

And there is no habit of saving. People in Western countries, who have always advocated early consumption, are also doing badly.

In today's strong dependence on the transportation industry. Once the majority of the paraplegic shipping is blocked, the price of goods will soar, and if you can't find a job for two or three months, you can only go bankrupt and live on the streets, relying on government handouts to survive.

The most powerful countries on the planet are no exception, equally oppressed by various crises.

There is a trend of de-hollowing out the country's domestic industrial policy, and many industries that cause serious environmental pollution and labor-intensive industries have been transferred abroad. What is left behind are high-value-added high-tech industries such as electronic chips, large aircraft, munitions, and precision instruments.

Low-end industrial products, such as daily chemicals, garments, shoes, bedding, etc., are imported from other countries.

But when global trade came to a standstill, what people needed was not airplanes and munitions, but industrial products that were not produced in Lijianguo, and there was no "Made in Xinhua" on the market, and everyone's living standards were rapidly declining.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and the like, and the extent of price increases is not as exaggerated as in some countries.

The worst is that some island countries with developed economies and extremely dependent on shipping, such as the Japanese country, which relies on exports for more than 65% of its economy, lack land resources and insufficient domestic demand. Arguably the hardest hit, unemployment has hit a record high.

The economic crisis has caused serious social security problems in various countries. The crime rate is on the rise, the sea monsters have caused various "doomsday theories" to appear, and the number of suicides has increased, and many people are in a panic day and night.

In order to alleviate the growing unemployment in the country, the four major groups and control-related enterprises have taken active action to stop the construction of some intelligent robots and fully automatic production lines, not only did not lay off employees, but also recruited nearly one million new employees in the past six months.

This crisis, in a certain respect, is also a major opportunity for the four major groups to develop by leaps and bounds, taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a large number of scientific and technological innovations and project development, recruit relevant talents, and engage in large-scale construction or expansion of production capacity.

The four major groups are known for their high technology and high quality, and their products sell well all over the world, but they are not greatly affected by the sea monster crisis, in addition to actively exploring the domestic and neighboring countries' markets, they are also thanks to Ye Quan's crazy investment in the aviation industry.

After the global shipping came to a standstill, countries have stepped up their investments in road, rail and air transport.

Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing Company set up 20 aircraft assembly production lines last year, and since the sea monster crisis at the beginning of this year, it has been desperately expanding, and some production lines work in three shifts a day, 24 hours a day.

By the end of October, relying on Xinhuaguo's strong production outsourcing capacity, known as the "world's factory", Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing Company had assembled more than 700 aircraft of various types.

In just two years, it has completed what its competitors would have taken half a century to complete, and has become one of the world's largest civil aircraft manufacturers.

Of the more than 700 aircraft, 500 are electric cargo planes and Totoro vertical take-off and landing aircraft, half of which are orders placed by China Eastern Airlines, which was only established this year.

The newly established China Eastern Airlines, focusing on cargo, has joined forces with several large airlines around the world to establish a global air transport network and seize the increasingly important air transport market.

Relying on the technical advantages of rare earth nano batteries and aviation manufacturing, the operating cost of electric aircraft is not much higher than that of ocean transportation.

Xinhuaguo has also increased investment in the aviation industry, actively carried out technical cooperation with Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing, Galaxy Aviation Manufacturing and other companies, and improved projects such as "large aircraft", electric aircraft, and large military transport aircraft.

Airports are being built in various places, and the aviation industry has been greatly improved due to the decline in the cost of air transportation, and many goods have abandoned sea transportation and began to circulate by air.

Although Hualong is a coastal country, it has been the least affected by this crisis.

In addition to frequent economic exchanges with Xinhua, Hualong has not even joined the United Nations, and most of its relations with other countries are cold, and there are few commercial and trade exchanges, and the reduction of shipping has not brought much bad results.

Because Xinhuaguo, a neighboring country, can meet Hualong Guo's demand for all low-tech products, which are imported through the land border, and Xinhuaguo's huge market demand can meet most of Hualong Guo's commodity exports.

In addition, the Crystal Palace base has cleared the Bay of Bengal of sea monsters, leaving little impact on offshore shipping and fisheries.

Hualong Guo is vigorously promoting new energy sources such as batteries and solar energy, with remarkable results, and the import of oil is not urgent, and with the support of the 'Crystal Palace' base in global marine mining, various industries are still thriving.

The aviation industry has also developed at a miraculous speed, and airports in various places have been built at the same time, and in per capita calculation, it has quickly caught up with other countries and become a developed aviation country.

In a very short period of time, Galaxy Aviation Manufacturing has also become one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, producing new types of civil aircraft in addition to military aircraft. (To be continued......)
