The five teams that Xu Yun had divided into five teams headed towards the southwest direction. Soon, they locked onto a factory in the suburbs that had already declared bankruptcy. This was originally a medical equipment manufacturing factory, but due to improper management, it went bankrupt.
It was indeed very difficult for Hua Xia to do production now. The poor economy would lead to many losses. After so many years, many people had been wondering why money was worthless. Perhaps it was because too much RMB had been printed, which led to this situation.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises faced failure due to insufficient production funds. The banks did not dare to lend easily because of too many bad debts over the years, which led to this problem. What they did not know was that it was the large enterprises that could not repay the money. Due to corruption in certain aspects, it led to a vicious cycle.
After the housing reform, at the beginning of 1989, when Yanjing first publicly sold commercial housing in prime locations, the highest and best price should be 2,000 yuan per square meter. According to some investigations by the relevant departments, the average price of housing in the country at that time was 300 to 400 yuan. Some small areas only had a price of 100 yuan.
The wages were low at that time, but there were many people who could buy a square meter with their monthly salary. But now, a commercial housing in Yanjing's prime location was 2,000 yuan? Dream on! 20,000 yuan? It was still a dream! Even if it was 200,000 yuan, there would still be people fighting for it, right?
What about some third or fourth-tier small cities? How much was the housing price? 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 … there were too many. And the income of these third and fourth-tier small cities was not much. A monthly salary of two to three thousand was considered a good unit, and it was comparable to the official business. A monthly salary of five to six thousand was enough to buy a one-square-meter house. That was considered a high income, right?
At least 80% of the people in these small cities could not buy a dozen or twenty square meters per year.
To put it simply, there was more money printed, but the money distributed to the people did not change, which led to the current situation. This situation was not caused by the people's lack of effort, but it was inevitable.
The economy was declining, and the growth of fiscal revenue slowed down significantly. Last year's fiscal revenue growth was only in the single digits. There was a serious oversupply of real estate, and the government's revenue from selling land decreased significantly.
Under such circumstances, the civil servants needed a raise, the military expenditure was also increasing, and so on. Any government unit in the country would probably have a group of idle people. They didn't even know what they were busy with when they went to work. Their work efficiency was low, and a simple task could only be completed after eight rounds. These were all reasons. That was why many projects were unable to continue due to the decline in revenue.
Therefore, at this time, the price of crude oil would fall, but the consumption tax on gasoline would continue to increase. This was a trap for many people who rarely drove and thought that the drop in oil prices would allow them to save more money. Of course, increasing taxes would naturally increase the revenue, but it would be a huge blow to the economy.
This medical equipment manufacturer produces a lot of products. So, although the company was incurring losses in the past, the government subsidized them through export tax rebates and other subsidies.
In the past, the reason why the value of the money could continue to rise was largely due to the pressure from the US Empire. Now, our Prime Minister is resolute and resolute. He is no longer afraid of the US Empire's pressure on the exchange rate. He can let the currency depreciate. I'm not even afraid of war, why would I be afraid of you pressuring me to devalue the RMB?
Actually, thinking about it carefully, the depreciation of money might not be a bad thing for Hua Xia. It's just that some of these enterprises can't be maintained anymore. But if they go bankrupt, so be it. If they can't generate income, there's no point in keeping them. It will only waste the country's money.
Anyway, the owners of these loss-making enterprises were not poor. They spent the country's and the bank's money on many extravagant things in their lives. In the end, it didn't matter.
There should be no one in this abandoned factory. The company went bankrupt, the owner ran away with the money, and everything that could be sold in the factory was taken away by the workers. No one would visit a place like this.
However, Xu Yun and the rest felt a lot of auras. This was why Xu Yun and the rest were sure that the other party would gather in this place. For Hua Xia people, this kind of place was an unlucky place. No one would be so free as to come here to look for trouble.
Perhaps only those idiots from Japan would think that this was a safe place.
Speaking of which, this was indeed the case. This place was really the only good choice for them. The place was remote, there were no lights, and there were few people. There were many large and empty factories. If someone came, it would be easy for them to detect it.
The Japanese were also humans. They would get hungry even if they didn't eat. In order to escape, they took many turns and corners without stopping to rest. Now that they had a place like this, they naturally wanted to sit down and have a good meal.
Speaking of which, these guys were really good at enduring hardships. They were well-prepared. They even brought pots and some rice to cook soup. They ate some canned beef and canned sardines. As for their dry rations, they ate compressed biscuits.
Among these people, other than Bi Sheng, who had been in contact with Xu Yun and the rest for a long time, there seemed to be another commander. This person might be the real supreme commander.
After the soup was cooked, Bi Sheng picked up a bowl and walked towards the guy. "Mr. Kaneda, please have something to drink."
"Okay." The man called Mr. Kaneda slowly took off the white mask on his face. There was no expression on his face. The split scar on his eye looked particularly scary. At this time, Bi Sheng also handed over a portion of canned beef and a portion of compressed biscuits.
"Mr. Kaneda, I am willing to take full responsibility for what happened today. I chose the wrong time and caused the mission to fail in the end." Bi Sheng stood in front of Kaneda Takekawa and said seriously, "I hope Mr. Kaneda can give me a chance to make it up to you!"
You have already done very well. "Kaneda Takekawa said," You are willing to serve the Japanese Empire. You have a good mentality. Although this mission didn't succeed, I'll still recommend you to be the commander of the Japanese Sakura Flower Group in China. "
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Kaneda!" Bi Sheng immediately stood upright.
Kaneda Takekawa drank a mouthful of rice soup and said slowly, "Bi Sheng, how many years of training did you receive in Japan?"
"Ten years," Bi Sheng said.
"Then, are you sure you don't feel guilty about the losses your actions have caused to your country?" Kaneda Takeawa asked.
"No! I am an abandoned child in this country. I have no meaning here. It was Mr. Kaneda who gave me a new life, so I will follow Mr. Kaneda and be loyal to you forever! "
Kaneda Takekawa nodded satisfactorily, "I am relieved to hear that. Unfortunately, your identity has been exposed. If you can't kill the two people who saw your face, it will be difficult for you to continue your mission in Hua Xia … "
"Mr. Kaneda! Please believe me, we just need to make some adjustments. I will come up with a new plan! I will definitely kill those two people and get the Ebola virus weapon for the Japanese Empire! "Bi Sheng said," I promise! "
"Oh? Do you have a new idea? "Kaneda Takekawa asked.
Bi Sheng was slightly stunned. He really didn't have a new idea. The meticulous plan this time had exhausted him. It was only because Xu Yun and Lin Ge's strength was far beyond their expectations. Otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago.
In fact, Bi Sheng couldn't be blamed for this. If it wasn't for Kaneda Takekawa, Bi Sheng really wanted to ask why so many people couldn't take down Xu Yun! Why didn't Kaneda Takekawa make a move until the end? Was it because he was afraid of exposing his identity?
"Do you have something to say?" Kaneda Takekawa saw Bi Sheng's subtle expression and said, "Is there something that you are not satisfied with?"
"Mr. Kaneda, Bi Sheng doesn't dare to complain!" Bi Sheng quickly said, "I just can't think of a better plan at the moment, so I have a headache. I hope Mr. Kaneda can give me some time. I will definitely come up with a better plan."
Kaneda Takekawa nodded, "Very good. You are from Hua Xia. You know Hua Xia better than we do. You know how Hua Xia thinks, so I believe you can come up with a better plan! Don't let me down. I think highly of you! Do you understand? "
"Understood! I will do my best for Mr. Kaneda! "
"No, it's not for me. It's for the Japanese Empire! "Kaneda Takekawa said," You will be recognized by the Emperor and the Prime Minister! "
"Yes!" Bi Sheng looked fearful.
