After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 815 Urban Complex

And its impact on the rest of the world is far from over.

Such as economic growth slowing down, international trade shrinking, unemployment rising, and financial market volatility increasing.

Moreover, it did not stop in Asia, but also spread to other countries and regions in the world, spreading contagiously.

Nearly one hundred countries in the world with financial markets of a certain scale have been affected to varying degrees by this financial crisis.

In Europe, as shrinking demand for oil led to falling prices, Russia's export revenue fell to $10 a barrel.

The stock and bond markets fluctuated, the government fiscal deficit increased sharply, and serious financial and political crises emerged.

Then it spread to countries such as Ermao, Jieke, and Bobo.

The Asian financial crisis also affected stock markets and economic growth in Europe, the United States and Latin America through financial and trade channels.

In addition to the plunge in European and American stock markets, the United States' export trade experienced its first negative growth in the 1990s in the first half of 1998.

Among them, exports to Asia decreased by 14%, affecting its economic growth.

The devaluation of Asian currencies has weakened the competitiveness of Latin American products, while shrinking demand has reduced the income of Latin American oil and raw material exporters.

As European and American investors withdrew huge amounts of funds from Latin American stock markets, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico became debtor countries.

It is said that the Asian financial crisis had the least impact on our country, and the RMB was preserved and did not depreciate.

But its occurrence directly led to a sharp decline in export volume.

Last year, our country's export growth was 20%, but this year it has become zero growth or even negative growth.

The main reason is that our country is highly dependent on exports to the surrounding countries. If their economies collapse, our orders will naturally disappear.

Our country already has overcapacity, and with the sudden disappearance of foreign trade orders, the overcapacity situation has become even more serious.

As a result, a wave of layoffs of state-owned enterprise employees came in full swing.

At the same time, there was also a reform of the housing allocation system.

From then on, there was no longer any talk of the government allocating housing, and people had to solve their housing problems on their own.

Of course this applies to most units, excluding special units.

Coupled with the floods, people have had an extremely difficult time this year.

It was as if everything had come together at once.

In order to revitalize the economy and save itself, the country announced the issuance of 2700 billion yuan in national bonds a few days ago.

We plan to find a new way to develop infrastructure to stimulate domestic demand.

In order to support the country's policy, Xia Ran allowed his company to absorb 300 billion yuan in government bonds.

This is purely to support the country's construction, otherwise she would definitely not invest the money, it would be a pure loss to gain publicity.

After watching the news broadcasts for the past two days, Xia Ran locked himself in his room and thought carefully for two days.

Finally, I met with the senior leader through Director Liu and had a good talk with him straight to the point.

After getting the guarantees she wanted, she began to send people to continue hoarding land in various major cities. She wanted to build urban complexes in advance.

This will stimulate domestic demand and solve the reemployment problem of some laid-off workers.

1000 million laid-off workers is not a small number.

What’s more important is that there are thousands and thousands of families who depend on these people for their survival.

She should do what she can.

But she said it first.

Before she could start large-scale construction in any city, she had to get the endorsement from the higher-ups.

She didn't want to be fattened up by some local people and then slaughtered like a fat sheep.

When problems arise, she only turns to the higher-ups.

Of course, they signed a military order with each other.

What Xia Ran needs to ensure is that she operates legally, pays taxes according to the law, and does not damage the local environment.

Do not deduct or exploit workers, and pay all the insurance that is required.

The other party's military order was that Xia Ran's company would enjoy the treatment of a foreign-funded enterprise, and local leaders could not deliberately make trouble or find fault.

Moreover, she only accepts management from above and not from local governments, so of course the taxes belong to the local governments.

In this way, while Xia Ran began to hoard a large amount of land, he also started to meet with the top leaders and second-in-command in various places.

Discuss investing in building a factory and an urban complex in their area.

The company also put out advertisements for a large number of recruitment.

People who heard the news almost broke down the thresholds of each office, all coming to register.

There is no other reason, just because the salary and benefits are good enough.

We recruit people from all walks of life, from architects, urban planners, and engineers, to bricklayers, carpenters, and decorators, and even small jobs like washing clothes, cooking, and sweeping.

Because of the greetings from above and the green channel opened, Xia Ran Company completed these procedures very quickly.

Xia Ran first selected five cities to start construction simultaneously, namely the capital, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Pengcheng, and Xishi.

From the perspective of economic benefits alone, it is definitely more promising in the first four cities.

However, Xi City is the distribution center of the five northwestern provinces. As half of her hometown, she has to take it into consideration, so as not to be left too far behind by other places.

So the large-scale construction of these five cities was prepared in advance with great fanfare.

I didn't expect that the most difficult part was the design plan.

Xia Ran read several versions but was not satisfied with them. Maybe it was because he had read too many versions in later generations.

She felt that this was a small step and the design plan was too conservative, and it would not meet her expectations.

Finally, she had no other choice but to recall what the future would look like, drew some sketches, and asked these people to improve and fill them in.

"Boss, if we really build it according to your drawing, the cost will be much higher."

"Well, if we're going to build it, we should do it all at once and try to make it last for as many years as possible, otherwise it will become outdated in a few years, which would cause more trouble if we rebuild later."

"Okay, then we get it."

After several revisions, it was finally finalized.

Of course, the local urban planning department is involved throughout this process.

As for the ancient buildings, Xia Ran suggested that they should all be preserved, even if it meant enclosing them within his own buildings.

Maybe it will become a famous check-in spot in the future.

"With these ancient buildings, our descendants will at least have prototypes to look at when they read ancient books, rather than relying solely on imagination. Therefore, all of them should be preserved."

Just like that, the grand construction project was launched.

Before the construction started, Xia Ran called all the responsible persons from all over the place together to hold a mobilization meeting.

Naturally, he gave everyone a loyalty pill and watched them eat it.

Li Huaimin finally reacted at this point.

The medicine they took before should have more than just the effect of strengthening the body.

Otherwise, these core members would not be given one pill each.

When he returned to the office and Xia Ran was the only one left, Li Huaimin asked his doubts.

Xia Ran told the truth: "You guessed right, its effect of strengthening the body is real, it is not fake at all.

However, it also has another name called Loyalty Pill. As long as you don't betray, there will never be any side effects.
