Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2392 - 2232: Growing the Cake

As dusk settles in.

The sun dips low in the western sky.

Making their way back to the urban area.

Gliding along the freshly laid asphalt highway, free of any rough patches. This marks not the blogger's debut trip to Africa, yet the shifts since his earlier visit stand out dramatically.

Along the road's edge.

Simple thatched dwellings persist in view.

Yet.

From time to time, tidy and appealing 'mini villas' pop up unexpectedly, instantly identifiable as the prefabricated homes from Wan Qing Mining.

Such structures dot numerous nations across Central Africa.

"Spot them?"

His companion queried, flashing a grin.

"Absolutely!"

The blogger confirmed with a nod, "I've encountered them in Congo Gold; word is they're gaining traction. Built at Wan Qing's Central Africa industrial park, distributed through local tribes—fascinating setup."

Tanzania.

Situated east of Congo Gold, divided by a vast lake.

Thus.

Spotting goods from that region doesn't catch him off guard.

"Spot on."

"These prefab villas are beginning to gain popularity locally too. As neighbors, the tribes have set up sales networks here, and the trade thrives nicely."

"Regrettably."

"Outsiders struggle to break in." His friend lamented.

At those words.

Confusion crossed the blogger's face.

"A monopoly?"

"Precisely."

His friend agreed with a nod, "Wan Qing Mining avoids direct sales of these villas; they hand them over to indigenous tribes. And those tribes boast extensive connections here."

"So."

"The key distributors end up being major tribes, who already dominate their areas. European firms attempt to copy the model but get crushed by the realities on the ground."

"Gotta admit."

"Tang Qing."

"Masters the art of commerce; he just focuses on manufacturing, while the tribes manage all the sales ups and downs to rake in profits."

"..."

Mentioning Tang Qing sparked endless admiration from him.

In Africa.

Tang Qing.

Commands substantial sway; Wan Qing's Central Africa park stands as the continent's biggest steel plant and a powerhouse across the Central African economy.

Furthermore.

Partnerships abound; a key investor in Congo Gold United Power Grid Co. belongs to a formidable Tanzanian clan.

Eventually.

It joined the Hummingbird network.

One could argue.

Even without direct involvement in African affairs, his reach outstrips that of the most established Chinese conglomerate operating here for over three decades.

He's undeniably a heavyweight.

...

"Incredible!"

The blogger burst out.

Back home.

Few likely grasp Tang Qing's clout in Africa; public focus tends to linger on those three major listed firms.

In the midst of his surprise, a truck rumbled into sight.

"Whoa!"

"A Hummingbird delivery vehicle?"

"Correct."

"Even serving rural villages?"

"No way; it hasn't expanded that far. Likely bound for a nearby county seat; Hummingbird's reach in Tanzania stays limited to urban centers in each county."

"Does this clash with your operations?" The blogger wondered, brow furrowed.

After all.

Chinese entrepreneurs in the region often capitalized on poor logistics and scarce goods. Hummingbird's arrival introduces fresh rivalry.

That's accurate.

Hummingbird skips e-commerce itself.

Still.

Ali and its affiliates dive into online retail, much like how digital platforms disrupt brick-and-mortar shops—web purchases often prove more affordable.

Hearing this.

His friend chuckled and inclined his head.

"It does affect us somewhat."

"But."

"The hit is manageable. Remember, economic conditions shape what people can afford; Hummingbird and online sales mainly touch upscale spending."

"Plus."

"The regional economy is advancing; folks have extra cash, boosting their buying capacity—trade flows smoother these days than in the past."

"As the overall market expands, even a smaller slice yields a bigger piece."

Having absorbed this.

The blogger saw the logic.

True enough.

Back then.

Local spending power might have hovered at a billion, but scaling to ten billion means that despite any reduced share, the absolute gains surpass old levels.

"In summary, Africa's market holds tremendous potential ahead." His friend wrapped up.

"Right!"

The blogger concurred with a nod.

Absolutely.

Should trends persist, explosive growth may not be guaranteed, but the landscape will transform beyond recognition from bygone days. Transformations could accelerate even more in coming years.

Luckily.

With surging needs, Huaxia, the global manufacturing hub, stands to gain immensely, be it through sourcing raw materials or broadening export lines.

Vast possibilities await.

...

Night descends.

Arriving in the city.

Vibrant lights flood the roads and lanes, powered not by Tanzania's main grid but by the Congo Gold United Grid Company's supply.

Undeniably.

Near Congo Gold, eight of nine adjacent nations host this grid's operations, which spread swiftly.

...

That evening.

He posted the new video.

Before long.

Comments flooded in energetically.

"Dealing in rocks? Solid venture; why not bring some to our nation." A naive query drew quick pushback:

"Butt out!"

"What an idiot?"

"Spot on."

"Like it says, it's for saving resources; buy if possible, skip digging your own. We ought to adopt this mindset, avoid draining our reserves endlessly."

"Totally."

"..."

"Myanmar's gone all-in on imports, floating effortlessly. Rumor has it coastal fishing's fully banned; all seafood comes from abroad."

"Loaded!"

"Regular nations can't replicate it lightly; shifting every fisher means massive hurdles; they pulled off fresh jobs to reemploy them all."

"..."

Shortly after.

The agricultural clip dropped.

"Huaxia funding?"

"Massive scale."

"Scenery seems pleasant; spotted rice fields. Double cropping yearly looks feasible; our farmland's short—time to acquire plots in Africa."

"Couldn't agree more."

"..."

"That lamb's a steal price-wise."

"Mouth watering."

"Practically tasting it via the video."

"..."

Next, the third clip centered on Tang Qing ties, from roadside prefab homes to the Hummingbird truck sighting. Viewers quickly grasped.

The breadth of Tang Qing's African ventures.

At the same time.

A swell of national pride stirred within.

Watching.

Our firms thrive across Africa, reshaping transport, telecom, and daily life; a few even coveted those homes.

"These prefab villas look stunning; any chance in our market?"

"Nope."

A dash of reality chilled the enthusiasm.

Still.

Disappointment stayed mild. Demand breeds supply in this world, and with no exclusive patents, plenty eyed business angles.

Mimic a tad.

Appears.

Wan Qing Mining likely wouldn't object.

...

Tang Qing wouldn't bat an eye; offloading these compact villas primarily clears some trade debts, fitting solely for African contexts, not the home market.

Risks cutthroat rivalry.

Should copycats emerge.

Cracking down fiercely looks poor; flush with funds, they've skipped the Huaxia scene entirely.
