On the other side of the ocean, inside the broadcasting aircraft factory.
Douglas walked slowly in the huge empty factory, looking at the huge passenger planes in the factory. They were like giants, standing quietly, some were just skeletons, and some were almost completed and delivered. To the buyer.
But now, everything seems to have pressed the time pause button, frozen in this moment forever.
The factory that used to be bustling and busy is now empty, and all the engineers have left.
It’s not that Broadcasting Corporation is poorly managed. In fact, Broadcasting Corporation’s financial status has always been very good. As the world’s largest passenger aircraft manufacturer, it is also one of only two manufacturers in the world.
Broadcasting has always accounted for about 60% of the global passenger aircraft market. It can receive orders for more than 1,000 passenger aircraft every year, and can produce and deliver more than 1,000 passenger aircraft of various models every year.
As a high-tech enterprise, the profits from broadcasting have always been quite good, and my life is quite comfortable.
However, with the complete collapse of Green Coin, it turned into a pile of waste.
Broadcasting has also encountered an unprecedented crisis.
The collapse of Green Coin has a terrible impact on the economy. It means that huge wealth has evaporated completely overnight. It also means that all contracts signed with customers have no meaning for broadcasters. The other party pays Green Coin. In terms of coins, it is equivalent to paying a pile of waste paper.
There is no way for broadcasters to use this waste paper to pay employees, even though everyone's contract still says how many green coins they get per year.
But employees are also human beings, and they also have families to support, wives, children, and children. How can they work if they don’t even have enough to eat?
Now the price of goods has risen to the sky, green coins are like waste paper, everyone's life has slipped into chaos, food and daily necessities are in short supply, and eating is a problem.
What's even more disgusting is that although there are three of the world's four largest grain merchants here in Lijiangguo, it stands to reason that food should be the most indispensable. Even if the currency collapses, at least there will be no problem with food supply.
However, capitalists are capitalists, and they will never let go of such a rare opportunity to make a fortune. They will not sell grain to you easily, and the price of grain has risen the most.
The breakdown of order and extreme chaos have seriously affected the normal operation and production of enterprises.
To be honest, employees also hope to come to work, because only when they go to work can they have food. During this special period, countless people have lost their jobs and cannot find jobs.
However, the broadcaster only has green coins in his hand, and does not have the food and daily necessities that everyone needs. Even when everyone goes to work, they still cannot get the food they need.
The bustling factory suddenly came to a halt.
"It's been half a month already, I wish it was just a pause in time!"
Douglas looked at the factory in front of him. He knew that the fate waiting for this place was only overgrown weeds. Maybe in a future year, someone would think of this place and start production and operation here again.
It's just that it's no longer possible to build airplanes.
Since Xinghai Technology announced its anti-gravity aircraft plan, the broadcast has received countless unsubscriptions, the most important of which are from across the ocean.
In the past, although the market on the other side of the ocean accounted for about half of its market demand, it was the largest customer group.
However, Broadcasting is just like other beautiful fruit companies, they are just as arrogant.
So what if you are my biggest customer?
If I want to increase the price, I can increase the price. If I don’t want to sell to you, I won’t sell to you. What can you do?
In the end, aren't you asking me to sell you a plane just like you asked grandpa to sue grandma?
After all, there are only two companies in the world that can build passenger planes: Broadcasting and Shell, and we all have the same attitude, the same arrogance, whether we want to buy them or not.
But now, things have changed.
They found a better choice. With their own large-scale aircraft manufacturer, they abandoned the broadcast in an instant. Even if it was a breach of contract, even if it was the previous deposit, it no longer mattered.
Anyway, green coins are no different from paper now, and I can easily exchange them for a bunch of them to pay you. Of course, it would be best if you could deliver the passenger plane to me.
The passenger plane is still the same passenger plane, and it is still a valuable thing, but even if the broadcaster has a completed passenger plane in his hand, he is not willing to sell it at the previous price at this moment.
But customers are obviously not willing to tolerate your bad temper anymore. They want to sell or not. Now they have many choices. If they want to increase the price, there is no way. We will only use green coins to buy your passenger planes.
Faced with the same arrogance, Douglas even personally called customers on the other side of the ocean, hoping that the other party would pay with fruit coins.
As long as the broadcaster can get a certain amount of fruit coins, he can buy enough food and living materials for his employees, and he can get his company running again.
As long as passenger planes can be continuously produced, there is still hope and salvation. Green coins have collapsed, but euros, fruit coins, etc. have not collapsed. You can choose to use these currencies to pay. With these currencies, broadcasting can still be done.
Purchase enough goods, and then use the goods to pay your employees so that they can survive.
It's just that the customers on the other side of the ocean refused, and they directly canceled hundreds of orders, and the liquidated damages were already paid to their accounts. It's just that the green coins are now waste paper and have no meaning at all.
This taste is very unpleasant!
For the first time, I felt the taste of arrogance, and also felt the taste of being ignored.
"There will never be another broadcast."
Douglas closed his eyes helplessly. He knew clearly that the consequences of the collapse of Green Coin. He had been enjoying the benefits of the internationalization of Green Coin, and his own manufacturing industry had been completely hollowed out.
When the green coin is pierced and the powerful force cannot be maintained, the collapse is just the beginning. The situation we will face next will be even worse. All order is collapsing, and then in chaos
Slowly it was rebuilt, but by that time, it might be completely different.
...
Empty headquarters.
Compared with broadcasting, the empty shell is relatively better. At least it is still operating normally, the factory is still operating, and the order is still there.
But the impact was still huge.
We have always been wearing the same pants as Liliguo, and the collapse of the green currency has still had a strong impact on the economy here.
The euro is also depreciating significantly, and the unemployment rate is surging. There is no doubt that this will naturally cause a large wave of clothing movements of various colors, and general strikes are happening one after another in various places, getting more and more intense.
People here have always lived a life of high welfare. Even if they don't work, they can still receive a large sum of unemployment benefits. Sometimes they even work hard for a month, and the salary they receive is actually the same as the unemployment benefits.
The money received is almost the same.
There is no doubt that this is a pathological phenomenon. When there is no difference between working and not working, fools know how to choose, and there are more and more lazy people.
There are fewer and fewer people working, and everyone’s enthusiasm for work is getting lower and lower. Even if you have money and silver, you will still have nothing.
What's more, this kind of high welfare is often based on high taxes. Working people work hard to support a group of lazy and idle people, even though it is impossible to continue for a long time.
It has gradually become apparent in the early years. It is weak in succession, difficult to maintain, and has high debts. People's demands will only become higher and higher, such as increasing wages, reducing working hours, increasing social benefits, etc.
But few people go back and think about where the money comes from.
If no one works, no one will create wealth and value. In the past, we could barely survive by relying on finance and technology.
However, now, with the collapse of Green Coin and the powerful impact, finance is about to collapse. Countless banks and financial companies have collapsed one after another, and massive amounts of wealth have evaporated overnight.
As for technology, the empty shell is facing a huge crisis at this moment.
A large number of customer orders are signed with green coins. If you pay a customer for a passenger flight, the other party will give you green coins that are like waste paper.
If you don't pay for the flight and ask the other party to pay euros or fruit currency, the other party will rather break the contract, because the liquidated damages are also written in green coins, and what they give you is still waste paper.
In the end, all you get is a lot of waste paper green coins. If it weren't for relying on several major European industries behind it to make strong fruit, I'm afraid the empty shell would be like a broadcast, and it wouldn't be able to support it at all.
Of course, what is really scary is the challenge from Xinghai Technology. They have officially announced their entry into the aircraft industry. With the anti-gravity technology they have mastered, traditional passenger aircraft still have no competitive advantage.
The empty shell has received a large number of unsubscriptions. Customers are waiting and watching, wanting to see the situation of this anti-gravity aircraft. After all, the current economic situation is not good, and the operation of airlines has also become extremely difficult. Everyone is waiting and watching.
Let’s see what happens next.
"Anti-gravity technology~"
"We must obtain anti-gravity technology, otherwise we will be eliminated sooner or later. The doomsday has come, and it depends on whether we can get a new life in the apocalypse."
Enders, the shell president, was alone and quietly thinking about the situation in front of him. He saw everything in front of him very clearly.
Anti-gravity technology is the mainstream and trend of future development. Not only the manufacturing of large aircraft, but also the manufacturing of cars and ships will be greatly impacted, and then gradually eliminated and replaced by anti-gravity technology.
If this technology can be obtained, the empty shell can not only survive the immediate doomsday crisis, but also gain a new life.
PS: Some book friends say that I am stupid. In fact, I just want to express one idea. When we rise, many pseudo-developed countries will have a hard time. When our technology rises, then we will be the crushers of developed countries.
