Chapter 1,035 Differences of Opinion
Not only the media reporters present and netizens watching the live broadcast were paying attention to this press conference, but high-level governments of various countries were also secretly watching the press conference.
There are not many developed countries in the world that welcome immigrants, and there are even fewer developed countries that welcome Chinese immigrants, and Xinguo is one of them. At the beginning, the top leaders of China did not expect that this big-handed country would replace the United States in just four years and become the first choice for domestic immigrants who are inclined to immigrate.
The most incredible thing is that although they have raised the immigration threshold several times, the number of Chinese immigrating to new countries continues to increase every year. In the past four years, the average number of Chinese overseas immigrants each year has been approximately 1.25 million, an increase of nearly one million compared to the previous four years. Among these 1.25 million immigrants, 80% have chosen the new country as their second home.
What is even more unbelievable is the attitude of the new country towards immigrants. Whether it is the new country government or Star Circle Trade, they seem not to care about the public security and economic problems that the crazy influx of immigrants may bring. They always seem to be able to find ways to absorb this rapidly growing population. So far, the new country's economy has shown no signs of collapse, and is instead thriving.
As for the security environment, let alone that. There is almost no room for criminals and terrorists to survive here. Occasionally, one or two smuggled robbers are confused about the situation, and the law enforcement drones lurking in the streets and alleys teach them how to behave.
It must be said that the name Guanghan City has won the favor of many Chinese people. Not only because this name makes them feel friendly, but also because of the sense of cultural identity that is even higher than blood connection. However, not everyone is satisfied with this status quo.
"Hmph! Guanghan City? This time it's Guanghan City, what will it be next time? If we don't restrict them, won't they bring out Tiangong and Tianting?"
In an antique tea room, a man with Chinese character face looked as if he was watery and said something that was neither salty nor cool.
At this moment, almost all the heads of the ten major families are sitting here. Even the Wang family, which has not been doing well in recent years, still has a place in front of this long table. Although no one here is still in power, there is no one who is not inextricably linked to the real power class. Although their opinions cannot represent the opinions of the entire republic, they can at least represent some people...
For example, the man with the Chinese character face is Zhao Youyong, the head of the Zhao family. The two giants Huaguo Aluminum and Huaguo Telecom are both in the Zhao family's bowl. The former is a leading company in the production of rare earths, and the latter is a large state-owned communications giant, which shows the breadth of the family's influence.
The reason why he has such a big prejudice against the new country is not because the rare earths produced on the moon have impacted China's rare earth market, but mainly because Jiang Chen has touched the Zhao family's cake. Under the banner of Huaguo Aluminum, they have been illegally mining rare earths in local areas and smuggling them to foreign companies for profit. However now,
Because Futureman Mining has squeezed into the rare earth market by relying on the rare earth minerals on the seabed and the moon, which has further lowered the export price of rare earths, they have to lose at least billions of dollars in profits every year.
Zhao Youyong's speech was recognized by some people, but only some people.
Liu Xiangguo acted as the peacemaker this time and put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Others like to call this name, so we can't stop it. Since the people like it, let them call it. Anyway, we won't lose any meat."
It’s not your Liu family who lost a piece of meat.
Although he was thinking this, Zhao Youyong just snorted and did not answer. He dared to take down others who said this, but Liu Xiangguo, an old fox, let it go. The Zhao family's own buttocks are not clean, so there is no need to offend others by arguing.
Future Mining's entry into the rare earth market has indeed harmed China's interests, but objectively speaking, the damage is actually quite limited. Although it monopolizes the global rare earth export market, China has never controlled the pricing power of rare earths. The costs of violent mining and environmentally friendly mining are sky-high. Rare earths sold to foreign companies at bargain prices cannot be mined through formal channels, and this has become a tool for some people to line their own pockets. Every year, China’s The losses approached tens of billions of dollars.
However, everything has two sides. At the beginning, it was to earn foreign exchange and join the WTO, and did not control the export volume of rare earths. Now it has become the second largest economy. China has long been short of that little money, but the rare earth issue has become an indispensable issue. What a mess.
"I think we need to introduce more stringent visa review laws, especially for travelers to new countries. More and more people are immigrating to new countries, and most of them are highly educated technical talents. If things continue like this , I'm worried about the impact it will have on our economic environment." Another old man raised a very practical question.
"I agree," Zhao Youyong said immediately, "Strengthening people-to-people exchanges between the two countries is a good thing, but everything should have a degree. Now that a good thing is about to turn into a bad thing, it is necessary to take care of it!"
"What does it matter? There are so many of us anyway." Ye Qinghua took a sip of tea, chuckled, and said to the ground, "When the British fled to America, no one said that it was wrong to close the country and prevent people from leaving. ?We can’t ********** and let Western countries see the joke.”
Zhao Youyong gave Ye Qinghua a gloomy look. The Zhao family and the Ye family were not very good at dealing with each other in the first place, but now Ye Qinghua jumped out to undermine him, which made him quite dissatisfied.
However, Mr. Ye didn't care about his dissatisfaction. After finishing speaking, he leaned on the chair and sipped the tea with a smile.
The Huaguo Aerospace Group has developed rapidly with the help of Star Ring Trade, which represents China's share of the asteroid mining pie. Naturally, the Ye family's status has also increased. Ye Qinghua has no objection to Jiang Chen at all. It's a pity that he and his granddaughter were not successfully matched together.
"Okay, okay, it's pointless for us to discuss here. We're just chatting casually. Don't break the friendship." Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Xiangguo began to make peace with him, and comforted Zhao Youyong with a smile and signaled Don't let him get excited.
From the beginning of the tea party to now, they have been discussing the issue of star ring trade for almost half an hour, but no conclusion has been reached. This is quite rare. But for Liu Xiangguo, this is the best result.
At this time, someone asked a very practical question.
"If the United Nations wants to vote on the legality of New Zealand's territorial sovereignty over Guanghan City, how should this vote be cast?"
The middle-aged man who was sitting in the front seat and had been silent until now slowly spoke.
"Abstain."
Liu Xiangguo was still sitting there drinking tea with a smile, as if he had expected it. Ye Qinghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Neutral is always the most conservative choice. Zhao Youyong's expression was still as dark as water, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
With their own thoughts in mind, the tea party continued.
The same discussion, in different forms, is happening around the world. The U.S. Congress was in a quarrel before the press conference began. The White House even held a cabinet meeting to discuss how to deal with the enclosure of the moon by the Star Ring trade.
But no matter what the final result of their discussion is, Star Ring Trade will not make any changes as a result.
Amid applause that was either sincere or hypocritical, the Nth press conference held by Starring Trading gradually came to an end. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
