Chapter 247 The Majestic Task Force Arrives in Loyal Ceylon
Chapter 247 The majestic task force arrives in loyal Ceylon
at the same time.
Entering Ceylon in January 2022.
This year got a brand new start.
The amphibious assault ship Grand Luzon, along with other warships and supply ships, appeared in the North Port of Colombo Port in a mighty manner.
Almost at the same time.
An aviation division and a field division dispatched by Hongsawady also arrived at Jaffna, the capital of Northern Ceylon Province.
The Ceylon Army, which had been secretly prepared for a long time, quickly contacted the Luzon Navy, Hongsawady Air Force and Army, and began to reorganize Ceylon's navy, land and air force system based on this.
Tianzhu, which was originally the most likely to intervene in the changes in Ceylon, was now caught up in the Assam War and in the all-out confrontation with West Pakistan in the west. It had no energy to intervene in Ceylon.
America also has trouble getting out because of the clover oaks in Latin America and its strategy of suppressing a certain eastern power.
As for other forces, they have even less presence in the Ceylon Ocean.
On the other hand, America's dog son, Australia, recently brought his own dog food and pointed fingers at Ceylon and Qingye Group.
For this mad dog that couldn't see its own position clearly, it obviously didn't know that it was committing suicide. The Homo sapiens company had already made a note for it in its small notebook.
Rear Admiral Hu Zhengyue, the commander of the task force, and Rear Admiral Matugumo, the newly appointed head of the Ceylon Navy, spoke a lot in front of Ceylon TV station at the North Port Pier in Colombo.
The two then headed to Negombo Port on the north side of Colombo.
In the future, Negombo Port will be built into a professional military port.
At the same time, the Fourth Ceylon Ocean Fleet affiliated to the Homo Sapien Company was formed, and together with the Third Ceylon Ocean Fleet stationed at Hongsawady Dawei Port, they jointly defended and deterred the entire Ceylon Ocean surroundings.
…
The Financial Building in Colombo can just see the port of Northport.
Holden put down the telescope in his hand, with a very gloomy expression on his face: "Asshole!"
Sunny and John, who were also in the office, looked ugly. After all, this time the Wall Street financial group lost tens of billions of dollars on Ceylon's sovereign foreign debt. For regional heads like them, it was definitely not a good thing.
"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. If we sell it at this price, our losses will be too serious."
"Can Ceylon's assets in North America and Europe be enforced?" John asked.
Holden shook his head: "I have investigated and found that the three major families do have a lot of assets in Europe and North America, but these are not official assets of Ceylon. Now, among the three major families, except for the Solomon family, they are all exiled forces.
Their property will belong to us sooner or later, and there is no need to freeze it directly now."
Although Wall Street financial groups have already taken the international assets of the three major families into their pockets, they will definitely have to try and freeze these assets directly. Then who will be willing to transfer the assets to Europe and the United States in the future.
Moreover, the Wall Street financial group also plans to find opportunities to take advantage of these families in the future, and now it has swallowed up the international properties of these families. It is estimated that Ceylon and Qingye Group will be even happier.
What's more, with the methods of Wall Street financial groups, they can use more reasonable methods to empty out the assets of these families bit by bit, leaving people speechless.
After all, the money is already in Europe and the United States, and Wall Street has many ways to "earn" these assets.
The task now given by the headquarters to Horton and others is to find ways to bring down the economies of Ceylon and Honsawady, rather than focusing on the property of those international citizens.
Holden looked depressed: "It's very difficult! This economic model is too closed."
After the dramatic changes in Ceylon, Holden and others felt the tyranny of giant companies during their more than three months in Colombo.
On the surface, Ceylon is very welcoming to foreign-invested enterprises, with very favorable taxes and excellent services. However, whether it is Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Wal-Mart and Sam's Supermarket, they have all been suppressed like never before.
This suppression was not led by Ceylon, but by the Qingye Group.
Faced with this situation, foreign-funded enterprises are helpless. Even if they appeal to the WTO, it will have no effect.
For example, Colombo now.
Qingye Group has contracted the city's power supply, water supply and gas, and the prices offered to foreign-funded enterprises and its own subsidiaries are apparently the same.
The key lies in this "clear surface", which is the real big problem.
Qingye Group’s unit prices for power supply, water supply and gas are set very high.
Among them, commercial electricity prices in Colombo start at 10 gold dollars per kilowatt hour, commercial water prices start at 2 gold dollars per cubic meter, and commercial gas prices start at 10 gold dollars per cubic meter.
The price is a steal, but the problem is that you can’t use it even if you don’t use it.
With such high electricity, water and gas bills, many companies will feel a lot of pressure, but in fact, only private companies and foreign-funded companies feel a lot of pressure, but Qingye Group does not feel any pressure at all.
After all, the money given to the power company, water company, and gas company by the subsidiaries of the Qingye Group is just a left hand for the right hand.
Anyway, Aoba Group will continue to recruit employees frantically. If those private companies go bankrupt, their employees will be sucked away by Aoba Group immediately. There will be no large-scale unemployment at all.
Only the bosses of private companies and foreign-funded companies were injured.
Even because of remuneration issues, many private companies cannot retain employees at all.
This is the pig-killing plan of the Qingye Group to merge with private industries in Ceylon. It artificially creates inflation by increasing the prices of basic materials on a large scale, but the Qingye Group can smooth out the losses of some subsidiaries through transfer payments.
Of course, there is actually no way to fight against the Qingye Group's pig-killing plate.
After all, Ceylon now has to abide by the WTO's "free trade" rules.
If these foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises can unite and import their own supplies and raw materials, they can indeed fight against the malicious inflation of the Qingye Group.
The question is, what is the purpose of foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises?
The purpose of a business, in the final analysis, is to make money.
So how do you make money in the territory of a giant company?
This is a very real problem.
Giant companies have locked up most of the population. They can provide subsidies to all employees through internal subsidies, thereby locking in most of the funds in the hands of employees.
As a result, other companies will not be able to operate here, and naturally they will not be able to make a profit, and will even continue to lose money.
Under such circumstances, continuing to increase investment is simply a moth flying into the flames.
Holden and others have now completely understood the operation mode of Qingye Group. They are not fighting a company, but a "country".
What's even more troublesome is that this "country" is still covered with a layer of corporate skin, and there is also a national "shell" called Ceylon.
In other words, Qingye Group enjoys the welfare of the country but does not have to bear the responsibilities of the country.
Holden can’t go to the WTO to sue Qingye Group for maliciously subsidizing itself, right?
Now including the Dalian Motor Company where Horton works, these foreign-funded enterprises seem to have gained a free market in Ceylon, but in fact they have only gained a nominal free market.
Because within Ceylon, there is another "country" that is highly overlapping with Ceylon and is highly closed, and that is the Qingye Group.
The invisible barriers of Qingye Group are the fundamental reason why it is difficult for foreign investment to operate in Ceylon.
Now foreign capital forces can either use force to destroy the various subsidiaries of the Qingye Group in Ceylon; or force the Qingye Group to become a formal country.
Of course, there is one last way, which is for foreign investors like them to get out of Ceylon.
