Chapter 883: Where Does the Road Lead?

After Mark's issue was settled, Yang Qing got in touch with another person.

This time it's a rich person, not someone who earns money through ordinary means.

He wants to flee, yet is reluctant.

Fleeing would mean losing many of his enterprises in Daxia.

Moreover, he dare not liquidate en masse, with too many eyes on him.

However, he has already gained some tacit understanding by donating to Yingjiang's universities.

This counts as having paved the way for himself.

After some time, he prepares to depart.

Before leaving, he wants to confirm something via Yang Qing.

Yang Lao, greetings. I heard you say Yingjiang is a heaven for the rich and a hell for the poor.

I have some spare cash and just want to give it a try.

But now the relations between Daxia and Yingjiang have shifted a bit.

I'm not sure whether Yingjiang remains fit for investment immigration.

Also, if Yingjiang can become the world's top power, aren't there many aspects we should learn from? Should entrepreneurs be given more room?

Yang Qing, hearing this, instantly grasps what he wants to know.

He did not answer his question directly.

Instead, he posed other questions.

Do you think there is still a chance for Yingjiang-Daxia relations to improve?

Also, Yingjiang's debt is mounting; how do you think they should resolve it?

Yang Qing's questions left the other person at a loss.

And it made him feel something was off.

What does Yang Qing mean by this?

Some related individuals seemed to discern certain possibilities from Yang Qing's remarks.

Yang Lao, I don't see how these questions relate to mine.

Yang Qing spoke meaningfully.

Your question isn't really asking whether Yingjiang, a nation dominated by conglomerates and merchants, thrives so well, why can't Daxia grant entrepreneurs greater dignity and rights?

If Daxia could offer you comparable treatment, the rich wouldn't flee, taking vast fortunes.

Also, are you trying to say that in Daxia, being rich can never compare to that?

Here, you needn't hide.

Some indeed act excessively.

Baseless talk keeps emerging.

But do you truly believe that going abroad is a good remedy?

In Daxia, despite your vast network and influence here, you feel unsafe.

You wouldn't suppose that, in the current international climate, moving to an unfamiliar locale would let you thrive, would you?

The wind has shifted.

The international scene is also shifting fast.

Yingjiang's economic pressure is huge, especially its enormous debt.

The moment has come; change is necessary.

In the future world, all will center on Yingjiang's debt resolution.

Also, Yingjiang's rate‑hike cycle is upon us.

Yingjiang's virus‑induced stimulus and the tariffs targeting Daxia are swiftly fueling its inflation.

Interest‑rate increases are inevitable.

Are you certain about heading to Yingjiang at this time?

The safest haven for future funds is Daxia alone.

Do as you see fit.

Yang Qing won't tell him that others can, through banks, simply erase his money.

Nor will he tell them that future encirclement will be the main theme.

Not only Yingjiang, but Daxia as well will engage in it.

That truly is a case of 'look after yourself'.

Zhang Jie cannot truly comprehend the information Yang Qing disclosed.

Still, he caught the gist of what Yang Qing meant.

The future is no place for reckless running.

Many intelligent individuals, however, gleaned much information from Yang Qing's remarks.

Especially the rate hikes, which represent a massive opportunity.

The leeway is vast.

For the officials, Yang Qing's remarks are even more valuable.

Those two lines of Yang Qing are the greatest reminder for them.

They directly decided their future course.

They must ready themselves for a prolonged conflict.

Yang Lao, Daxia too is having a rough time.

Yang Qing grunted.

"Currently, Daxia indeed faces many problems, such as financial adjustment, industrial adjustment, and so on."

"Especially, infrastructure investment that could generate significant economic benefits has reached its limit."

"Daxia currently needs new points of economic growth."

"Moreover, Daxia also currently faces a significant debt problem."

"However, relatively speaking, we still have considerable room."

"High-speed rail, highways, etc., indeed have little room left."

"However, Daxia's canal system can still be developed."

"Land transportation has been mostly developed, while air transportation still holds huge potential."

"The labor cost advantage in coastal areas has diminished, but the human resources along navigable rivers and canals still hold great advantage."

"Even without the advantage of sea-river transport, the advantage of secondary railway transport remains."

"Especially in the west, the low-cost new energy industry is sufficient to provide adequate advantage for western transportation."

"There are many opportunities; it just depends on whether you can seize them."

"Moreover, the western railway line can now directly connect to Europe."

"Some medium-to-high-profit products still have great competitiveness when transported by rail."

"Using railways to transport socks is unsuitable, but using them to transport phones is quite suitable."

"The future of Daxia is still very bright."

"It's another windfall."

"Many people in the live broadcast room got excited."

"Such a discussion is interesting; it's far more interesting than talking about whatever Yingjiang affairs."

"Many people now actually feel a bit dazed and confused, not knowing what the future holds."

"After all, we've gotten into a conflict with Yingjiang, so it's inevitable to feel worried."

"After Yang Qing said that, they became excited."

"Yeah, coastal areas have high costs, but if they move to the banks of navigable rivers, wouldn't that lower costs?"

"If there are no navigable conditions, we'll build canals."

"If there are no canals, then along the railway lines, in densely populated areas."

"We'll develop medium-to-high-profit industries here, then get rich via the Daxia-Europe freight train."

"Is none of this feasible?"

"Didn't Yang Qing say, the western new energy?"

"Zhang Jie, this person preparing to flee, feels terrible all over."

"What the heck, does Daxia still have such a bright future?"

"This damn, should I still run or not?"

"Otherwise, do more charity to offset what I've done before."

"He hesitated."

"He hesitated because of what Yang Qing said."

"When two giants fight, running around recklessly is indeed dangerous."

"Even going to a third party isn't safe."

"Yingjiang's interest‑rate hike cycle plunders exactly these places."

"I am very likely to become someone else's target."

"Otherwise, not run?"

"Or go to Qiongzhou."

"Qiongzhou is undergoing a major opening; although it has problems, it's convenient for me to flee."

"Better to pursue all three approaches."

"We need to prepare overseas routes, domestically strive to improve our image, and also go to Qiongzhou."
