In the US, when the news about Beidacang Group and Hope Group's merger dies down, another big piece of news came out. West Coast Docks, Wind and Rain Holdings and Hehuang Group will be working together to rebuild 5 ports in the US.
This is not a traditional rebuild. It is a challenge to the Dock Union because the 5 ports will be using the latest CNC equipment. This news shows the number of workers in those 5 ports will be reduced by about 90%, and some new workers will be hired.
On the same day, the Western Longshoremen's Union contacted the Western Coast Terminal Company to protest. But the other party gave them two options. First, they can recommend them to a logistics company. This way, they will not lose their jobs.
The other option is to find a new job yourself. Anyway, we do not need you anymore. Also, we will be rebuilding the docks soon, and your strike has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we cannot do business during the rebuilding period.
The Dock Union realized this is different from the past. In the past, they used to threaten their bosses to compromise for salaries and benefits. Now, their bosses do not need them anymore. What else can they do?
Also, the salaries of the remaining workers will be increased. They are no longer united, and everyone wants to stay.
The Dock Union still wants to pressure the other bosses. But the other bosses are also annoyed with these workers. The high labor costs had greatly affected their profits.
The Dock Union also felt it is a good thing to have a boss who can threaten these workers. Many bosses cannot afford to replace all the workers with CNC equipment as the investment is too high.
But in the long run, CNC equipment will save them money. At least they can replace some of the workers with CNC equipment, and they will not be threatened by these workers.
Which boss likes to be threatened by their workers? If there was a replacement, the bosses would have replaced all of these workers long ago!
Some workers choose to work at other docks, and some choose to look for other jobs. Some workers are still waiting for new jobs recommended by West Coast Docks. Delivery workers might have lower salaries, but it is much easier.
Some workers with some savings chose this job as it is safer than being a dock worker.
Actually, the California Consortium is able to suppress the situation so quickly. These bosses had planted spies in the Union, and they can influence the Union's decision to a certain extent.
Furthermore, they are using this as a pilot project to contribute to the development of the US ports. The investment this time was not a small amount. Those dock workers could also work as construction workers.
No matter what, this was bringing in investment for the US. The reason why the US developed so quickly in the past was because of the employment created by infrastructure.
Some people wanted to use the port as a threat to the safety of the port, but they were quickly suppressed. This investment was not easy to get. Hua Xia was not as weak as the United Arab Emirates, and the reason itself was not tenable.
Following that, another piece of news came out. The United States was preparing to import Hua Xia's high-speed rail technology to improve the United States' rail transportation. Currently, they had planned an experimental section and signed the agreement.
The agreement was not a formal contract. If the contract was breached, the compensation would not be particularly high. Moreover, the general agreement was just a framework. The specific details of the contract had not been finalized yet.
This news once again caused an uproar among the Americans. Why was it Hua Xia again?
In their impression, high-speed rail should be from Europe, like Germany or France. Even if it was from Asia, it should be from Japan or South Korea. This technology should be from a developed country. The US was so powerful, and why did they want to import Hua Xia's technology from an underdeveloped country?
But because Hua Xia's high-speed rail technology appeared later, it was better. Japan's Shinkansen was launched earlier, but the ride experience was terrible.
It was the same for South Korea, France, and Germany. These technologies appeared earlier than Hua Xia, but they had stopped upgrading their technologies. This was because they could not sell their technologies and could not use them in their own countries.
China had bought some technologies from France and Germany, and then developed and upgraded them. This is one of the best technologies in the world, and it's more economical.
Reed and the rest had told them to announce this news first and see the public's reaction before deciding if they should proceed with this project.
They wanted to see the resistance from all sides and see if this investment was worth it. This was understandable, but Feng Yu felt this was not worth it.
This was because if they were to demolish the buildings now, the cost might be higher. In the US, there was no standard for demolishing buildings. Every family's demolition fee was different, and it was kept confidential.
Feng Yu felt they wanted to use this news to increase Obama's reputation and prove that Obama had done a lot. At that time, even if the cooperation failed, it could be said that there were many obstacles, and Obama's reputation would not fall.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Hua Xia's high-speed rail exports were famous all over the world. But many contracts were broken by the other parties, and Hua Xia was not happy with the compensation.
In this life, Feng Yu wanted to make this a success. Once there was a successful example in the US, it will be crucial for Hua Xia's overall high-speed rail exports.
Feng Yu could use these profits to fill the gap in demand for Hua Xia's high-speed rail. Hua Xia's railway network will take at least another decade to upgrade, and the investment will be astronomical.
At this time, a new topic popped up on the internet in the United States. It was the threat posed by China. This time, it was not about the military. It was about the economy.
They claimed that more Chinese companies had started to invest in the US, and more US dollars are in China's pockets. The US streets are filled with Chinese, and more and more US dollars are in China's pockets.
In the long run, the US economy will be controlled by Hua Xia, and this was unimaginable. They were calling on Obama to face this issue.
But they did not know this was Obama's doing. Without foreign investments, how can the US economy improve? Are you all going to watch the US economy decline? You all want your living conditions to get worse?
Hua Xia had made all the money in the US? How is this possible?! How much money can Hua Xia make? Our investments in Hua Xia had also made a lot of money.
The US netizens gave an example. Do you all know how much Feng Yu made in the US every year?
Feng Yu saw this news and felt it was interesting. Even if you all know how much I made in the US, can you all stop me? If I withdraw my investments in the US, your US economy will be affected again!
Feng Yu does not need to care about this news, as the US will suppress it.
