Chapter 382: Valuable Market Resources
The changes within Homo sapiens did not attract the attention of the outside world.
This is due to the closed economic operation mode and the strong internal secrecy.
The time has come to May 3, 2023.
Li Qingye, who has lived temporarily on Bandon Island in Luzon for more than half a year, took time to read the internal briefing for the first quarter in his spare time to study genetic technology.
Judging from various hard indicators.
Homo sapiens Inc. Q1.
In the field of basic raw materials, the industrial sector produced a total of 270 million tons of steel, 32.27 million tons of electrolytic aluminum, 2.41 million tons of refined copper, 420 million tons of cement, 14.42 million tons of glass, 32.57 million tons of plastics (antifungal version), 73.6 billion cubic meters of methane, 143 million tons of oil, and 5.36 trillion kWh of electricity generation.......
In the field of finished products, it produced 27.36 million deadweight tons, 21.13 million automobiles, 3,725 aircraft, 57.36 million mobile phones, 27.36 million notebook computers, 13.55 million desktop computers, 29.68 million tablet computers, 730,000 medical equipment, 1.67 million engineering equipment, and 75.23 million working exoskeletons......
Li Qingye was not surprised by this, after all, the current population of Homo sapiens is rapidly approaching the 1 billion mark.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Personnel.
At present, Homo sapiens has a total population of 670 million people in Southeast Asia (including Assam and Ceylon).
After a part of the population of Dongba District has been relocated, there are still 128 million people.
Madagascar, the Comoros, the Seychelles, and the Maldives combined, with 34 million.
The Egyptian district has 121 million.
The new Western Pacific region, with 21 million.
The total population reaches a huge size of 974 million.
In the first quarter of this year, the scale of immigration reached a new high, with a total increase of 27.63 million immigrants.
The largest source of immigrants was Tianzhu, followed by the Far East, Annam, Dongying, Xiba, South Goryeo, and a number of small East African countries.
Li Qingye raised his head: "Bagyila, why has the immigrant population in the Far East declined?" I remember that in the fourth quarter of last year, there seemed to be 8.76 million, how did it drop by more than a million this year? ”
Bagyila, who was in charge of the internal logistics department, quickly replied: "Sir, because of the recent welfare improvements in the Far East, and the upgrading of plastic products caused by the fungal crisis, their factories are full. ”
Li Qingye raised his eyebrows: "I see, it seems that the pressure we put on them is forcing them to make changes." ”
Baghaira still sees very clearly according to the data of the Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Field Service:
"Yes, but according to our assessment, this is just drinking to quench thirst, because of the deterioration of the foreign trade environment, domestic consumption is limited after all, and many of their resources are not self-sufficient, the problem is only temporarily covered up."
Li Qingye was noncommittal about this, and only asked curiously: "How is the housing price in Tuchuan?" ”
"It's still the same, it's been a stalemate."
Li Qingye smiled: "Then I'll rest assured, it seems that we can harvest a few more years of population from the Far East." ”
When it comes to harvesting the populations of other regions, Homo sapiens has always been a no-no-no.
In terms of looking at the population issue, Homo sapiens is different from other forces, whether it is high-quality talents or ordinary people, Homo sapiens is willing to accept it unconditionally.
The purpose is also very simple, Homo sapiens has some biochips and various new technologies, which can quickly transform ordinary people into high-quality talents, so the population will not become a burden, but an accelerator for development.
And by siphoning the population of other regions, it can effectively weaken its development potential.
After the development of human civilization in the 21st century, small countries and widows are destined to fail to achieve industrialization to maintain the entire industrial chain.
And the standard for this small country is that the population is less than 300 million.
In other words, there are only a few forces in the world that are qualified to maintain the entire industrial chain.
Why is Lucia's industry so poorly developed? It is because its market is only 140 million people, and it cannot maintain the whole industry chain at all.
Now there are only four forces in the world with relatively complete industrial chains, namely Homo sapiens, the Far East, America and the European Union.
Just look at the population and control areas of these forces to know how harsh the conditions are to play the whole industry chain.
300 million people is just the starting point.
It is also necessary to have sufficient resources, relatively high population quality, and a perfect and stable internal environment to maintain the operation of the entire industrial chain.
These conditions are indispensable.
For example, in Tianzhu, the population and territory are sufficient, but the remnants of the surname system are too serious, and the internal business environment is extremely bad.
Another example is Australia, which has a large enough territory, very rich resources, and relatively stable interior, but the population is too small.
There is also Brazil in South America, whose population and resources are barely enough, but the economy is secretly controlled by America, and it is regarded as an economic colony, constantly harvesting.
Many people know the importance of mineral resources to a power.
But what many people don't know is that human resources and market resources are also very important.
Now Homo sapiens is frantically siphoning the population of other regions in order to reduce the available manpower and market of the other party.
Don't look at the global trade of Homo sapiens, which was openly and covertly resisted by the great powers, but Homo sapiens harvested human resources, but indirectly occupied a part of the market, and it was permanent.
The population is the market.
Giant enterprises need a huge population if they want internal circulation.
And the population that is devoured by the giants will disappear from the free market forever.
In other words, the total population of Homo sapiens at this time is 974 million, which means that the free market has lost its market share of 974 million people.
That's almost one-eighth of the total global population.
Without the loss of the market of 974 million people, those forces that pursue a free market will inevitably decline the economy as a whole.
The market is a resource that is similar to mineral resources, and it is very important for countries around the world today.
Market resources are inevitably closely linked to every natural person, and it is difficult to create a new market out of thin air.
The reason why Homo sapiens is hostile to Europe and the United States is because the population eaten by Homo sapiens has not opened its market to Europe and the United States.
To be precise, Homo sapiens actually abides by the rules of free trade.
However, Homo sapiens' products are very competitive, and Homo sapiens can precisely regulate all employees inside, in this case, the so-called free trade will lose its freedom, and it will not be possible to obtain market resources within Homo sapiens.
And Homo sapiens is constantly grabbing the remaining market resources of the free market.
Now Homo sapiens has established a large number of trading companies in Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and Latin America, and has supported the local comprador forces, which is to seize the market.
After repeated battles, Homo sapiens has occupied a great advantage in the global medical field, mineral field, agriculture field, food field, and transportation field.
This situation is extremely unfavorable for both industrial and financial countries.
But for agricultural and mining countries, as long as Homo sapiens is willing to support each other, the development is not bad.
For example, through a series of cooperation with Homo sapiens, Persia exported oil and gas to Homo sapiens, and imported agricultural and industrial products from Homo sapiens.
In addition to consuming some of their own imported products, they also started entrepot trade, selling a large number of products produced by Homo sapiens to Central Asia, and their lives were much better than before.
Another example is the small coastal countries in Africa, which also helped Homo sapiens open up markets to the interior of Africa through entrepot trade.
Homo sapiens siphons the population while opening up the market, and this double squeeze has caused great pressure and impact on those industrial and financial countries.
Thank you for your support (ω'), and thank you for the reward of "*GGQ*".
