From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 756 Fighting for the future

  With the addition of the 'Sharp Knife Squad', Qiaojia's manpower is sufficient.

  Three locations, the sharp knife, the Jazz, and the A team led by Joe boss are responsible for one respectively.

  The three teams each lead a 10-person P.B support team. The Russians recruited by these 'jackals' from their hometown are actually not bad.

  Compared with Wagner who stayed and worked in Tobruk, they even have a little advantage in technology and equipment.

  The three groups of people set off at ten o'clock and rushed towards their respective targets.

   Choga chose a residential building near downtown Newark, New Jersey…

  It took about an hour to drive from P·B Farm, and they arrived at the predetermined location.

  It's almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night...

  Joga and the others sat in a low-key business car, passed through the messy streets, and finally stopped on a driveway sandwiched between the community and a low commercial street, opposite to a dense low-end community.

  There are really few cars on the road in the city center of Newark, and occasionally passing by seems to be in a hurry.

  A large number of homeless men, buddies wandering on the street, street girls standing under street lamps, drug dealers hiding in hidden alleys, and drunken punk youths opened Joga's eyes.

  Probably due to professional reasons, Choga didn’t think it was very dangerous here, and the legendary drug addicts did not appear everywhere, but the fact is that white people are rarely seen here at night.

  Choga’s time in the United States is not too long. He has never really had a deep understanding of the customs and customs of this place in the United States.

  In the past, he only heard about it. After seeing the actual situation, Choga realized that what someone told him in the past that the so-called middle class in America lived in the suburbs, and that the night in the city center would become dangerous was probably true.

  Unemployment, racial issues, gangs, drug dealers, and a large number of homeless people in the gray area, these people invariably gather toward the city center late at night.

   What attracts them to gather here is the public facilities in the city center.

  The United States is indeed too big, and New Jersey, which is close to New York, is not as prosperous as people imagine, and the population is far from being dense.

  Underground transactions anywhere need a place. The city center with street lights, neon signs and even 24-hour convenience stores has become a hotbed of gray world.

   And the most critical source of popularity are those homeless tramps.

  They are the main consumers of cheap drugs, and the market formed based on them will naturally attract people in need.

  Because drug dealers need a regular source of customers, and those addicts who want to find drug dealers will come here. After there is traffic, there will be street girls here.

  They can satisfy some of the needs of the addicts who buy the virus, and even enjoy themselves along with it.

   And gangsters will naturally gather around...

  The reason why the "vagrants" who are the basis of everything gather in the city center has a very cruel logic, that is, they cannot settle in other places.

   Most of the urban areas are public facilities, and they have the right to find shelter from the wind and rain here.

  The communities in the outskirts are different, they are all private places, and homeless people walking around in them will soon attract the police, or be violently driven away by the joint defense organization formed by the locals.

   Choga, who has gradually developed a bit of ruler thinking, can easily see the core logic in this nightlife with American characteristics or capitalist country characteristics.

  The city center is the place where the service industry is most concentrated in any city, and where many people work.

  In the past, Qiaojia always listened to people advocating that old America was more advanced. They loved living in the suburbs, living in big houses and breathing fresh air.

  It’s actually bullshit!

   Qiaojia didn't see any convenience in living in the suburbs?

  Aside from those mansions, the middle and low-level communities are actually very average.

   Not only is the location remote, but the transportation costs are high.

  It takes 40 minutes to drive to the supermarket, so what's so 'convenient'?

  Wage earners all over the world are actually the same. They all want to live closer to where they work when the living area and security conditions are not bad.

  However, around the old and beautiful city center, it is precisely a relatively dangerous place, and many apartment communities that should be considered good locations have turned into cheap communities in the end.

  The core reason for this is that the public facilities in the city center can provide resources for homeless people to survive.

  Then a series of gray industries extended by the gathering of homeless people will naturally lead to a decline in law and order.

  The decline in law and order will naturally lead to a decline in surrounding housing prices, making it difficult to rent out houses. Landlords have to accept immigrants, or those who have lost their credit and cannot rent houses in good communities come to rent houses.

   Can this be any good?

  People all over the world think that the old and beautiful middle-class people especially love the suburbs, maybe it's just because not all places are Manhattan.

  According to Joga’s understanding, the ultimate dream of many people who work and live around New York is to have an apartment around Central Park.

  The traffic there is convenient, the life is convenient, and the night is not dangerous.

  The root cause of all this is over-urbanization and structural poverty.

  These homeless homeless people have nowhere to go because of laziness or bankruptcy.

  Public facilities became their last shelter, and then the bustling area during the day became an area where gray transactions were rampant at night, and even the police didn't like to come here.

  Now many people in Huaguo are advocating land privatization, and even want to allow farmers to put their fields on the market for sale.

   But those vested interests will never consider what will happen to the landless farmers once they go bankrupt in the city?

  Once a large amount of land is merged, farmers are driven into the city, and the enterprises in Huaguo do not have so many labor positions, what will the city look like?

  The highest urbanization process in the world is Brazil, and large groups and private large farmers have bought most of the farmland.

  After those farmers who lost their land entered the city, they could only build one slum after another on the surrounding public land.

   Do you think people would like to live in the mountains? That's because the flat places are owned by the Lord.

  The landless farmers in India are even more miserable, because India is more crowded, and they lose their land and can only build slums around the city.

  The characteristic slums built on both sides of the railway are not because those people really like it, but because the two sides of the railway are public land, and those who build houses on private land will be beaten to death.

  'Freedom' is indeed important, but most people in this world cannot control 'freedom' rationally and rationally, because most of us cannot escape the siege of business groups.

  The consequence of the complete privatization of land is that the land of most people will be merged and occupied by large groups.

  Other places, Qiaojia has no right to speak, but in Huaguo, Qiaojia thinks that those who propose to take farmers' land to the market and completely urbanize Huaguo should be killed.

   Some of these people are the spokespersons of some capital, and most of the rest are vested interests!

   Just like real estate developers and real estate speculators!

  They don't break the law, but in order to protect their own interests and plunder more interests, they can't see or pretend not to see the situation of others.

   There is no benefit at all, just aiming at democracy, freedom and privatization, and just shouting, it is purely full of food.

  The industrialization of Huaguo cannot bear so much labor force...

  Now, as long as you don’t suffer from a serious illness, urban people can have a meal as long as they are willing to work hard. The big deal for those who come out of the countryside is to ‘go home and farm’.

  Once farmers’ land is merged and so many laborers abandon agriculture and enter the city, it will first cause wages to fall, then housing prices to rise, and the cost of renting houses to rise.

  As competition intensifies, there will be more structurally impoverished population.

  In the end, even if you give up industrial upgrading and return to the labor-intensive low-end processing industry, you can barely support everyone.

  Even if everyone can accept a very low salary, once there is a problem in the international market and the excess products cannot find a way out, the result will be unimaginably bad.

  Joga and the others parked their car on a quiet street, and the TV in the window of a second-hand electrical store by the roadside was playing the speech of the black buddy in the white house in Congress...

  The theme is 'Return to Asia-Pacific'.

  Choga knew that the real competition within the great power region began at this time.

  Huaguo's low-end processing industry will be impacted by Lao America's involvement in the Asia-Pacific region...

  Because Huaguo suffered an unprecedented imported inflation in 2008 due to the financial disaster on Wall Street.

  The old United States used cheap materials from Huaguo to stabilize domestic prices, and then printed a large amount of money, causing the prices of commodities to rise wildly, allowing Huaguo, a material and raw material importer, to bear most of the inflation for him.

  In order not to make the price weird, a large amount of money has poured into the real estate market and large infrastructure industries.

The price control is not bad, the stock market is evaporating a batch of redundant capital, but there is still too much money left, the financial attributes of real estate are enlarged, and the housing price becomes bizarre, and finally even a batch of vested interests that cannot be lost Crowd, leading to consequences...

  The wages of ordinary people have increased a lot, but the rise in labor costs has led to a decline in the competitiveness of low-end processing industries, causing many manufacturers to relocate in order to survive.

  The Jialiang trade presided over by Qiao Liang, in this context, seems to have been soaked in a honey pot.

  The Afika and Middle East markets opened up violently by Joga have given some small and medium-sized enterprises who have not had time to adjust, provided a breathing space and time to upgrade.

   But that's not enough at all...

  Choga can’t help much anymore, because he only has one oil field and a crude oil export port in Tobruk, and his money is limited!

  Qiao Liang even realized this problem earlier than his brother, because people kept giving him 'lessons'.

  From the professors at their school to the heads who deal with him, they are all trying to instill macro thinking in him...

   Both brothers are from the countryside, but Qiao Liang is more responsible than his elder brother!

  Because of his special status, people have chatted with him more than once, asking about the possibility of relocating the low-end processing industry to Afica.

  The most typical ones are high-pollution plastic, cement, ceramic tile and other material factories.

   There are also some factories such as leather bags.

  Joga has never been successful, because the area where his influence radiates is really not a good investment environment.

  Central Afica, as the name suggests, is in the middle of Afica. Based on the traffic conditions here, once the low-end industries cannot be digested locally, then don’t even think about exporting. The transportation costs can eat up all the profits.

   Qiao Liang didn't understand, but Qiao Jia understood that those people were implying that they should bring Congo Kinshasa under their control.

  The Congo River wharf plan proposed by the old King of North Industries is the key to it.

  Export-oriented economy is not limited to exporting products to overseas markets. The export of low-end industries that Chinese people are most familiar with is also a part of exporting capital.

  Regarding these, Choga is still willing to accept the move, but it will take a long time to plan, because if the relationship with the United States and France cannot be balanced, P·B will have endless troubles.

  Boss Joe has so many guys who eat with him, he has to be responsible for everyone!

  The most important thing now is the general election in front of us. If the old woman is not dealt with, changes may occur in Iraq at any time, and P·B will have no peace in the next few years.

   Just when Choga was lost in thought, a guy in a black hoodie came to the side of the car, tapped the window lightly, and then made a motion gesture...
