Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2331 - 2171: Phase 2
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
At present.
We're in the age of credit-based money.
Indeed!
Thailand might crank up its money printers, yet the outcome would spell disaster, as it would surely cause the Thai Baht to lose value, mostly because of open financial markets.
Any decision tied to the Thai Baht could sway the currency exchange rates.
Yet.
The Asia Dollar stands apart.
Myanmar enforces tight financial restrictions, with strict oversight on the Asia Dollar's entry and exit. So, when they ramp up printing, the global exchange rate won't swing wildly.
The rate holds steady, and once they've drained out extra liquidity,
it gains strength.
Or weakens.
It's completely in their hands.
And that's.
One key advantage of such financial oversight, a feat Thailand can't match. As these thoughts crossed his mind, Wangsa let out a sigh. Opening up finances brings both gains and pitfalls.
For Thailand.
All they can do is watch with jealousy.
...
The group was taking a leisurely walk.
Before long.
They hopped into vehicles heading to Delin Province to check on various projects. With Derli Province's fame booming, the second stage of expansion is now rolling out, pushing southward.
Deeper into the interior?
Hardly.
The logic is straightforward—upholding tourism standards. Every beach section in Myanmar caps its visitor numbers, and the hotels, oceanfront villas, and communities all hit development limits.
Thus.
Expanding properties inland isn't an option.
On this point.
Tourists absolutely love it.
Truth be told.
Not many folks enjoy packed beaches. Sure, it's buzzing, but who'd turn down more space to savor the shore all to themselves?
Thanks to that, coastal homes on the market, including resales, have skyrocketed in price multiple times, since everyone realizes it's a limited treasure.
If they loosened up.
Sure.
Developers could throw up tons of structures and rake in profits. But without that rarity factor, the setup now earns near-universal thumbs-up from buyers.
Wild unchecked growth is the last thing they desire.
The Second Ring.
The motorcade raced forward.
During their prior visit.
Construction rigs were everywhere shaping the Second Ring, but these days, it's nearly finished. Banning more inland building has greatly boosted the roadways.
Every couple of kilometers.
Communities pop into view.
Right now.
All these communities are snapped up. Being ocean-view spots, they came fully fitted when sold, complete with furnishings, all set for immediate living.
Hence.
Plenty of residents have settled in.
"Tsk tsk!"
Tang Kai marveled.
This spot.
Just five years back, it was desolate wilderness, yet now it's a top-tier global getaway where homes vanish from shelves like hotcakes.
Meanwhile.
It's sparked massive spending.
Take vehicles, for instance.
Loads of these affluent visitors from everywhere have grabbed cars for local trips, stashing them in garages, using them maybe a month yearly, with spots always occupied.
So extravagant.
Ahead.
The path runs almost arrow-straight into the distance, tempting any driver to hit the gas hard, though that's a no-go around here.
Top speed allowed: sixty.
Cameras watch every inch without gaps. Speed over the limit, and fines hit right away. It's drawn tons of gripes, but with ironclad rules, folks just have to comply.
If not.
Your points drop.
Possibly losing your license altogether.
Tough enforcement.
Similar to Huaxia's system, starting with twelve points annually; lose them, and you're stuck waiting for renewal plus mandatory safety classes. That's why crashes are so scarce.
Beyond that.
Across Myanmar.
Road mishaps stay incredibly rare.
Sure enough.
Myanmar's authorities aren't totally rigid.
So.
East of the Second Ring.
A Third Ring was built.
It's a fast lane, creating three side-by-side routes with distinct roles: the first for coastal sights, the second for residences, and the third for quick journeys.
For now.
All three handle traffic.
Still.
They're taking it slow.
Skipping the highway, they prefer scanning the distant Second Ring, not having visited in ages. A bunch of these structures rose from their own firms' efforts.
Brings back feelings.
Along the roadside.
No greenery.
Instead, a gentle stream, much like Yangon's new city's loop waterway, shallow to the knees, meandering softly—mainly to channel rain away, keeping silt from dirtying the resort shores and harming clarity. At first, folks got a kick out of drifting on floats there.
These days.
Not so much.
It was fun once, but nearby beaches abound, villas boast private pools, and communities share public ones—no reason to splash in untamed streams.
...
This very moment.
Over in Labut.
"Excellent."
"We welcome you and eagerly await your visit."
"..."
Once the call wrapped up.
Kan Qin ended it with a grin.
The breakthrough Alzheimer's treatment drug's ripple effects outpaced his forecasts; within an hour, top figures from multiple nations signaled plans to come.
Hosting such overseas leaders highlights a nation's global standing, filling him with joy. Recently, he's noticed everything flowing more easily.
Tasks.
Regulations.
Connections.
...
Everything advancing swiftly, leaving him thrilled. Moments ago, two nations announced intentions to fully adopt transcription fluid as an official medication.
Covered under safeguards.
Truly heartening.
At the moment.
Only a handful of countries truly embrace and roll out transcription fluid. Adding two more is a win. Before, he shrugged it off.
After all.
Drug sales abroad wouldn't match tourism bucks.
But now.
Things have shifted. The thriving travel scene doesn't depend just on sick visitors anymore. Prime settings and ever-better attractions.
That's the core.
Plus.
Myanmar Medical Group packs power, pioneering the Alzheimer's cure, so even if transcription fluid users head home for care.
Fresh cases keep arriving.
Bottom line.
It won't dent Myanmar's travel-driven wealth. Glancing back to January's start, Kan Qin chuckled wryly. Last year's GDP topping 600 billion US dollars had stunned the globe.
However.
Ling laid down a goal.
For this year.
Fiftyfold.
Signifying GDP must top one trillion US dollars. Through twelve months of pushes via initiatives and reforms, Kan Qin sees it.
Myanmar's upside is huge.
Today.
Mid-December already, and they've hit 950 billion US dollars. Come the next reporting window, smashing one trillion looks within reach.
Wow!
Five years prior.
Myanmar's GDP was a mere fiftieth of today's figure. A fifty times leap in five years? That's a flat-out economic wonder in history.
And he.
Stands as both observer and builder of this wonder.
Gazing upward.
Toward the east and north ceiling spots where Ling stays, a spark of reverence flashed in his gaze. Seconds later, he refocused and dove into a pile of papers.
Quite hefty.
"Nationwide Hydropower Engineering Construction: Phase 2 Project Plan"
This outlines next year's agenda.
Earlier.
After polishing water purity, they tackled full river oversight, bolstering current hydro setups, and carving out numerous side streams.
That marked phase one.
Phase two.
Brings another massive venture, investments over 300 billion Asia Dollars. Even skimming it, his pulse quickened. Ling's plans always swing big, and this proves no different.
Inside the files.
The blueprint calls for lining every river edge with concrete barriers, essentially building retaining walls. The chief aim: to manage the river's breadth.
Alongside that.
Every side stream gets an overhaul.
Before.
They'd only been dug out.
Now.
They're set for channel-like builds.
