Tang Qing's companies buzzed with excitement as the annual bonus increased by twenty percent, confirmed as truth and sparking widespread joy among employees at Comet Group, Comet Movies, and Sheng Tang headquarters. Artists under Comet Movies cherished the fair resources and supportive environment, free from industry pitfalls, while leaders like Gao Ming at Zhongyu Special Guard marveled at the billion-dollar payout, largely funded by Wan Qing Mining's African success. In Myanmar, Vice Minister Kan Qin celebrated the 2009 GDP surpassing one trillion U.S. dollars—a fifty percent surge—reporting the milestone to Ling, who set a modest ten percent growth target for the coming year.

Shortly.

Once the discussion wrapped up.

Kan Qin headed back to his office, swept up in a wave of intense feelings. It needed some moments for him to steady himself, before he settled into the seat and began scanning the files, reflecting on the year's upcoming efforts.

The topmost focus boiled down to just a single aspect.

---Infrastructure.

Highways.

Bridges.

Railways.

Hydropower.

Urban development.

Airports.

Facilities.

.....

The vast array of initiatives, even the mere list could pack a hefty premium volume. This represented an all-out funding push, zeroing in on massive undertakings up to now.

From this year onward.

For a three-year span.

The aim stands to link every village in Myanmar, drawing lessons from the Myanmar Economic Zone. The intent shines through: within three years, massive road builds will cease.

Just maintenance.

No fresh builds.

Meanwhile.

Officials plan to fund broad new rural upgrades.

Internet reach.

Power supply.

These goals stand mostly met already. Clean water delivery emerges as the key drive for the coming three years. It's long since covered in the Myanmar Economic Zone, yet remains spotty in other areas.

Therefore.

The scope of reach and the investment magnitude become easy to picture. Even Kan Qin found himself tutting in wonder at this outpouring exceeding ten trillion Asia Dollars.

Click! Click!

What an epic scope.

Yet.

He approves.

Without funds, it might make sense, but right now in Myanmar, government coffers strain tight, buried under heavy debts. Still, thanks to the Myanmar Bank Group, loans flow freely.

Pay back gradually.

Besides.

This falls under Ling's domain, far more secure than tapping foreign lenders. As to why Ling throws cash around so freely, Kan Qin grasps it deep down.

Not wasteful folly.

Rather, sustaining the flow.

These days.

The Asia Dollar's global push speeds up, echoing the dollar's path. Hoarding it tightly, skimping every bit—how else could nations grab Asia Dollars beyond mere savings?

International status stays out of reach.

Thus.

Spend freely.

Spend big! Build that currency loop, and places like Huaxia will gladly shell out fortunes for premium buys such as Oasis.

All the while.

Only so can global deals settle in Asia Dollars. Though it stirs some anxiety, on this move, Kan Qin can only declare.

---Awesome.

Back then.

Yearned to spend but lacked means.

Today.

Time to catch up!

...

On that day.

Myanmar's National Bureau of Statistics released the 2009 GDP figures to the world.

In a flash.

Global press erupted in frenzy.

"Stunning! Myanmar's 2009 GDP surges past fifty percent growth, topping one trillion dollars, securing a spot among the top fifteen world economies."

"A once-in-a-century wonder!"

"Third straight year of Myanmar claiming the world's number one GDP growth!"

"Southeast Asia's biggest economy."

"..."

Truth be told, observers had braced for it. Thanks to top-notch data handling and an early reporting schedule, Myanmar led the pack year after year.

In 2010.

The year's prime global economic bombshell.

Arrived.

At first look.

Plenty felt their calm shatter.

"Holy crap, one trillion dollars—for real?"

"Oh man!"

"Official numbers, gotta be legit."

"Wonder!"

"From six years back, it's fiftyfold now—I’m speechless. What a legendary achievement, a true century's marvel."

"Unreal!"

"..."

Trillion.

Dollars.

Together, they pack a massive punch. The jump from prior heights over six hundred billion isn't merely four hundred billion more—it's an entire tier up.

One trillion dollars.

A fresh milestone. These stats now thrust them into the global top fifteen, and clearly, their momentum rolls on.

No slowdown.

Right away.

Innumerable developing nations burned with envy.

...

India.

Mixed emotions swirled everywhere.

In 2008.

Boasting over 1.2 trillion dollars for more than a billion souls, India doubled Myanmar's size, but after one year, they watched it nearly close the gap.

The sensation soured.

Plus.

Insiders know their GDP math carries flaws, inflating by twenty percent—at minimum.

Thus.

Trouble brews.

Deduct that twenty.

Oof!

It lands roughly even with Myanmar, a bitter pill they struggle to swallow. A struggling neighbor not just matching pace in mere years but drawing level.

Perhaps.

Even poised to pull ahead.

"Our GDP stats aren't out yet; they’ll top Myanmar's for sure!"

"Absolutely."

"We've got the huge population!"

"Exactly."

"..."

Clinging to odd assurance, they pinned hopes on Indian officials, yearning for stats offices to deliver a win, outpacing Myanmar.

But.

Right then.

In India's capital.

The stats team reeled in confusion. Myanmar's early quarters data had alarmed already, but equaling India hit like thunder.

This round.

For pride's sake.

Hmm!

Simply... pad the figure!

They're pros at it anyway.

Not excessive, not skimpy—just enough yearly uptick to dodge gripes from locals.

For harmony and image, real figures stay buried; heck, they barely know the true ones themselves.

India.

Operates as a federation.

Hence.

States go rogue, with each province half-heartedly tallying GDP. Usually, it's slapping on a tad more than last year's report.

No big deal.

So.

Any GDP probe leaves them jittery, utterly stumped. If chatting quickest GDP boosts, it hinges on goods output and infra spending.

See.

Huaxia.

Annual export hauls?

Business investments?

Fresh builds popping up? Infra cash hits cosmic levels, yet growth hovers near ten percent. India, though?

One.

No world-factory status.

Two.

Few big firms investing.

Three.

Local demand lags, builds stay scarce.

Four.

Infrastructure?

Laughable.

Land grabs alone prove nightmarish—forget real progress. This growth style lacks solid ground, but amid such economic vibes.

Claiming seven or eight percent rise, rivaling Huaxia—sharp eyes spot the fluff instantly.

Oof!

Fine!

Old saying holds: roll with it.

...

In Innerpitou's highlands.

Villa.

Gitti, done with fieldwork.

Strolled leisurely to the lounge.

Flicking on the television, news hit first, sparking a flicker of doubt at her lips. Back when captured, GDP hovered above three hundred billion dollars.

Now.

Word says it nudges past one trillion dollars.

Five years.

Fiftyfold leap.

Suddenly.

She froze for beats.

Soon enough, that doubt morphed into a faint wry grin. An event this huge couldn't be phony, and honestly, it tracks without stretching.

Trade.

Infrastructure.

Loans.

Tourism.

...

Countless engines hauling Myanmar's GDP skyward make these results logical, if jaw-dropping—an outright economic phenomenon.

And that.

Deepened her respect for the group once more. Orchestrating one task shows skill. A zone, genius. A nation, legend. But steering the globe?

"..."

Briefly, words escaped her.

She just sensed.

The globe.

Shifts beyond her grasp.
