Chapter 289: A One-Way Ticket to the Eternal Road [84/100]
What is the concept of annual revenue of US$113.45 billion?
If Huasheng Group is regarded as an independent provincial economy of the country, it ranks third; if Huasheng Group is regarded as an independent national economy, it will exceed Mexico's total GDP for the whole year last year, ranking 15th in the world.
Some media reported with exaggerated news that, with the current terrifying size of Huasheng Group, how many years will it take to squeeze into the top ten in the world as a separate national economy?
In the current world GDP ranking, the Republic and the United States are in the first tier of magnitude. Compared with the third tier, Japan is the second tier, and Canada ranks tenth. The total GDP of the whole year was US$1.7 trillion. Compared with the annual revenue of Huasheng Group last year, the gap between the two is about US$600 billion.
In this regard, economic analysts and related institutions around the world are in a very complicated mood. It is only a matter of time before the optimistic prediction of Huasheng Group entering the top 10 in the world, because the negotiations on the "Dream World" are still ongoing, but there will definitely be a result. After all, this is immortality, although it is the realization of alternative immortality.
Once a consensus is reached, it means that Huasheng Group's revenue capabilities will once again achieve a qualitative leap. The first two revenue leaps were Huasheng Electronics and Huasheng Pharmaceuticals, and the next time is undoubtedly the "Dream World". It seems that there is only a matter of time left to enter the top ten in the world.
...
The White House, Washington, USA.
"Erex, has the negotiations with the Chinese ended again unhappily?"
The newly appointed then-President Ying Jiang faced the mess left by his previous term in his first year of office. The most critical legacy issue is the "dream world" created by the Chinese, and there has been no negotiations until now.
"Yes, Mr. President." The person who answered was a white man with a blond hair, blue-eyed and hooked nose, who was the main person in charge of the negotiations on the vested interests of the Dream World on behalf of America. Elex added helplessly: "The Chinese are too tough on the issue of black boxes, and there is no room for negotiation every time they are involved in this issue. And the Chinese declared in yesterday's negotiation that no matter what, half a year later, the channels for immortality will be opened..."
"What?" The president, who was sitting in the work, couldn't help but change his face slightly.
Indeed, while rabbits are quarrel with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, they have been studying and formulating regulations on control of virtual countries for more than two years, including the formulation of corresponding ID cards for permanent citizens in the virtual world, the formulation of legal regulations, the extension of power resources and national will into the virtual world, etc.
Although Lichuan and Huasheng Technology created this virtual world, Huasheng is unable to manage it. There will be more and more "people" in the future. These "people" are not fabricated out of thin air. They have all existed in the real world. Lichuan is not a politician, and Huasheng Technology is just a company. As more and more "citizens" stay forever in the fantasy virtual world, government agencies will inevitably be born, and these can only be controlled by the state.
Huasheng Technology is a transcendent role as the "observer". It is only responsible for operating and maintaining the normal operation of the fantasy and virtual world, ensuring that the world will not collapse, etc. As for what changes will happen within the world, it is always an indifferent attitude.
At this moment, the American President learned that the Chinese would open an "eternal channel" on time in half a year. This incident had a great impact. Once the Chinese officially disclosed authoritative news, it would be a historic moment that would be recorded in the history of civilization.
These are secondary. The President believes that if American citizens learn that they cannot enjoy the welfare of "eternal life", the angry people will definitely demolish the White House. By then, poor handling of external matters will inevitably lead to the intensification of internal conflicts.
Although developed countries such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Australia are now venting their anger with the United States, when it comes to a critical moment, Hawksauce cannot control those countries to continue to maintain the same front.
Moreover, American people will riot because they cannot buy the "one-way ticket" to the Avenue of Immortality. It is very likely that people from other continents of European countries will do the same thing. If they cannot withstand the pressure, they will inevitably compromise like the Chinese.
In fact, the current situation itself is not optimistic, and governments around the world are under great pressure, including China.
Since Huasheng Technology announced the concept of dream world and immortality and was confirmed, people all over the world are restless and excited. Even if some young people do not need it urgently, they also have parents. The parents may still be very young, but they still have grandfathers, and even grandfathers have few days left.
No family wants their relatives to leave forever. Now Huasheng Technology has created a shocking world that can achieve alternative immortality. What's the point?
The current situation is that looking at the world, the elderly in various countries, especially developed countries, have the greatest desire for "alternative immortality". If you fail to take this bus, you can imagine that you will die with your eyes open.
In fact, there have been more people who have died with their eyes closed in the past two years, and the emotional depression of the people is getting deeper and deeper. Once the critical point is broken, the rabbit will also be under pressure.
Obviously, the rabbit will not be ripped off with these European and American people endlessly. The reason why they strive for it is because there is a lot of money to make. By carrying out "eternal business" for humans around the world, it will mean that unimaginable wealth will continue to flow into China. This is a tangible vested interest.
But it is not necessary, and it is also because of the confidence that you have the skills in your hands. You can also hold the nuclear stick in your other hand and have the strength to defend it.
After a long time, the President sighed: "It seems that we still lost this negotiation."
This sentence made Elex understand that the president would be unwilling to compromise after all, and he could only do this. Threats by force or through war are just effective means to bully small and weak countries, but the other side is a big country of the same magnitude as the United States.
If we could really achieve our goal through war, the Eagle's aircraft carrier strike group had already been driven over, and the Tomahawk cruise missile had already arrived from two thousand kilometers away.
but……
That is a country with an economic scale and war potential that is no weaker than that of the United States.
"Come in." The president said impatiently when he heard the knock on the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw the CIA's intelligence leader. He suddenly felt slightly excited. The game with the Chinese people on the surface continued, and the struggle in secret never stopped.
As soon as the CIA director came in with a document, the president called Elex back, and the only person in charge of the CIA was left in the president's office.
