How much more delay will that cause?

"President Yang…"

Since it's decided, Yang Qing doesn't want to keep talking nonsense.

Letting the people go is already his biggest concession.

"Alright, my people will quickly finish counting those who want to leave; don't say anything else."

Seeing Yang Qing's firm attitude, the two also realized saying more was useless, so they could only say goodbye and leave.

Soon, Huaguang Electronics was officially established.

More than half of the people didn't leave; many had already become deeply tied to the Yang clan, and many also held part‑time professorships at Tequ Daxue and Gangdaoligong.

Leave for Pine Lake?

It's just waiting for the equipment, which takes a year and a half.

After Huaguang was established, they were officially considered members of the Yang clan's enterprise.

Their benefits immediately improved.

While looking over Hongqing Investment's project list, Yang Qing met Dongzi and also became a member of the Hongqing Investment project.

Tian Guoli also reported that Pang Dong's large supermarket had been completed, and business was booming.

Yang Qing's layout began to bear fruit.

As Daxia joined the global economic community, investment was further relaxed.

The Gangdao Yang clan's industry also began a full‑scale invasion of Daxia.

Wang Lin resigned his position at the Gangdao Imperial City, went to the Mainland, and became the CEO of the Mainland Imperial City.

Others also noticed Wang Lin's little cleverness.

One by one, they turned around and became the bosses of the Mainland branch offices.

By now, except for Huang Zhan and Lin Cong, almost everyone had gone to the Mainland.

The people of the Jingmen Club also poured into the Mainland, while at the same time many Mainland businessmen took the opportunity to join the Jingmen Club.

The Jingmen Club's investment in the South Ocean also reached its peak, with hundreds of thousands of people pouring into the South Ocean each year.

Yang Qing looked at these data, felt excited, and his population‑export plan officially began.

Now those being exported are all poor people, and wherever the Jingmen Club goes, the economic benefits are great, improving the survival environment in the South Ocean region is very beneficial.

The South Ocean populace's mood is not great.

(Refer to those living a decent life in Baxi.)
