Chapter 246: The mighty task force arrives in loyal Ceylon
Meanwhile.
Ceylon in January '22.
This year has been off to a brand new start.
The amphibious assault ship USS Greater Luzon, along with other warships and supply ships, appeared in the North Harbor of Colombo Harbor.
Almost at the same time.
An aviation division and a field division from Honsavady also arrived in Jaffna, the capital of the northern province of Ceylon.
The Ceylon Army, which had been secretly prepared for a long time, quickly took over the Luzon Navy, the Honsavwady Air Force and the Army, and began to reorganize the navy, land and air force of Ceylon on this basis.
Tianzhu, which was the most likely to intervene in the Ceylon Change, was caught in the Assam War at this time, and there was a full-scale confrontation with Xiba in the west, and there was no energy to meddle in Ceylon at all.
America is also difficult to get out of because of the clover oak in Latin America and the strategy of suppressing a certain eastern power.
As for the other forces, they have no presence in the Ceylon Ocean.
However, it is Americaka's dog son, Australia, who recently brought his own dog food and pointed fingers at Ceylon and Aoba Group.
For this mad dog who can't see his position clearly, it obviously doesn't know that he has committed a way to die, and Homo sapiens has already made a note of it in a small notebook.
Rear Admiral Hu Zhengyue, commander of the task force, and Rear Admiral Matugem, the newly appointed head of the Ceylon Navy, spoke a lot of things to Ceylon television from the North Harbour Pier in Colombo.
The two then headed to Negombo Harbor, on the north side of Colombo.
In the future, the port of Negombo will be built into a professional military port.
At the same time, the Fourth Ceylon Ocean Fleet, which is subordinate to Homo sapiens, was formed, and together with the Third Ceylon Ocean Fleet stationed in Honsawady Tova, to jointly defend and deter the entire Ceylon Ocean periphery.
……
The financial building in Colombo, just in front of the port of North Harbour.
Horton put down the binoculars in his hand, and the expression on his face was very gloomy: "Bastard! ”
Sunny and John, who were also in the office, also looked ugly, after all, this time the Wall Street financial group lost tens of billions of dollars in Ceylon's sovereign foreign debt, which is definitely not a good thing for them, the regional heads.
"What now?" John asked with a headache.
Sunny thought for a while: "The Bank of Manila is still collecting Ceylon sovereign bonds, but the price is only about 8.2% of the previous price, and our losses are too serious." ”
"Can Ceylon's assets in North America and Europe be enforced?" John asked.
Houghton shook his head: "I investigated, the three major families do have a lot of assets in Europe and North America, but this is not the official assets of Ceylon, and now among the three major families, except for the Solomon family, the others belong to the exile forces, and their property will be ours sooner or later, so there is no need to freeze it directly." ”
Although the Wall Street financial group has already regarded the international assets of the three major families as a bag, it must be decided to directly freeze these assets, and then who is willing to transfer the assets to Europe and the United States in the future.
Moreover, the Wall Street financial group also intends to find opportunities to use these families in the future, and now they have swallowed the international property of these families, and it is estimated that Ceylon and Aoba Group will be even happier.
What's more, with the means of Wall Street financial groups, more reasonable methods can be used to hollow out the assets of these families little by little, and people have nothing to say.
After all, the money is already in Europe and the United States, and Wall Street has too many ways to "earn" these assets.
Now the headquarters has given Horton and others the task of finding a way to bring down the economies of Ceylon and Honsawady, instead of keeping an eye on the property of those international citizens.
Horton looked depressed: "It's very difficult!" This economic model is too closed. ”
After the drastic changes in Ceylon, Horton and others felt the domineering of giant enterprises during their more than three months in Colombo.
On the surface, Ceylon is very welcoming to foreign-funded companies, the taxes are very favorable, and the service is also not to be said, but whether it is Coca-Cola, or McDonald's, or Wal-Mart and Sam's Mart, they are all under unprecedented repression.
This crackdown was not led by Ceylon, but by the Aoba group.
In the face of this situation, foreign-funded enterprises are helpless, and even if they go to the WTO to appeal, it will have no effect.
For example, now Colombo.
The Aoba Group has contracted the city's power supply, water supply and gas, and the prices offered to foreign-funded enterprises and their subsidiaries are all the same on the surface.
The key lies in this "bright side", which is the real big problem.
The unit price of electricity, water and gas for the Aoba Group is set very high.
Among them, the commercial electricity tariff in Colombo starts at 10 gold yuan per kilowatt hour, the commercial water bill starts at 2 gold yuan per cubic meter, and the commercial gas rate starts at 10 gold yuan per cubic meter.
This price is simply a money grab, the problem is that you don't use it and can't do it.
With such high electricity, water and gas bills, many companies will feel the pressure, but in fact, only private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises feel the pressure, but the Aoba Group has no pressure at all.
After all, the money given by the subsidiaries of the Aoba Group to the power company, water company, and gas company is just a left-handed exchange for a right-handed hand.
Anyway, the Aoba Group will continue to frantically recruit employees, and those private companies will go bankrupt, and the employees will be sucked away by the Aoba Group immediately, and there will be no large-scale unemployment at all.
Only the owners of private companies and foreign-owned enterprises were injured.
Even because of the treatment problem, many private enterprises cannot retain people at all.
This is the pig killing plate of the Aoba Group's merger of Ceylon private industries, through the large-scale increase in the price of basic materials, artificially creating inflation, but the Aoba Group can use transfer payments to smooth out the losses of some subsidiaries.
Of course, it is not impossible to fight against the pig killing plate of the Aoba Group.
After all, Ceylon now has to abide by the WTO's "free trade" rules.
If these foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises can join forces and import materials and raw materials on their own, it can indeed fight against the malicious inflation of the Aoba Group.
The question is, what is the purpose of foreign-owned enterprises and private enterprises?
The purpose of a business is, in the final analysis, to make money.
So how do you make money in the territory of giant enterprises?
This is a very real problem.
Giant enterprises have locked up the vast majority of the population, and they can pay subsidies to all employees through internal subsidies, and then lock in most of the funds in the hands of employees.
As a result, other businesses will not be able to operate here, and naturally there will be no way to make a profit, and even continue to lose money.
In this case, it is like a moth to a fire if you continue to invest more.
Horton and the others have now thoroughly figured out the operation mode of the Aoba Group, and they are not fighting with a company, but with a "country".
And what is even more troublesome is that this "country" is still covered with a layer of corporate skin, and at the same time there is a national "shell" called Ceylon.
In other words, the Aoba Group enjoys the benefits of the state, but does not have to bear the responsibility of the state.
Holden can't go to the WTO to sue the Aoba Group for maliciously subsidizing himself, right?
Now including Horton's Da Mo Company, these foreign-funded companies seem to have obtained a free market in Ceylon, but in fact they have only obtained a nominal free market.
Because within Ceylon, there is another "country" that is highly overlapping and highly closed with Ceylon, that is, the Aoba Group.
The invisible barriers of the Aoba Group are the fundamental reasons why it is difficult for foreign capital to move in Ceylon.
Now foreign forces will either use force to destroy the various subsidiaries of the Aoba Group in Ceylon; Either force the Aoba Group to become a full-fledged state.
Of course, there is one last way, and that is for them, the foreign capital, to get out of Ceylon.
