Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2437 - 2277: Congo Gold New City Handover

Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
The Saudi King, facing Myanmar Bank Group's exclusive city construction proposal, negotiates from an initial twelve billion dollars and ultimately selects the maximum thirty billion dollar plan after reviewing expansive, innovative designs that blend Arab aesthetics with modern brilliance. The announcement ignites enthusiasm across the Arab world, leading nations like the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait to swiftly order their own scaled versions, amassing projects worth over a thousand billion dollars. Architectural firms worldwide study the groundbreaking styles in awe, as bidding commences, awarding substantial contracts to local enterprises alongside Myanmar's affiliates.

At this moment.

The calendar.

Has advanced to November.

In the urban development initiatives across Arab nations, as construction surges forward with great enthusiasm, right after Roy City in India, the delivery of the second urban project has commenced.

Congo Gold.

The capital city.

Dawn of a new day.

President Waite, accompanied by several high-ranking officials, set off from the presidential residence in a vehicle convoy toward the emerging metropolis. Gazing at his surroundings, a wave of contentment washed over him after serving three years in power.

Over these three years.

Congo Gold as a whole has experienced profound transformations.

Power supply.

Telecommunications.

Both have achieved near-total coverage, with the country's primary power grid now operational. Electricity's arrival has sparked a sharp rise in consumer goods needs.

Televisions.

Fridges.

Cooling units.

Illuminations.

...

In certain areas, once fundamental requirements are met, desires keep expanding, operating at maximum output. As a result, facilities for power distribution and conversion continue building without pause.

All to satisfy the escalating requirements.

Thanks to electricity.

Spending habits.

Skyrocketed right away.

Coupled with internet access.

And improved roadways.

Delivery networks have also expanded swiftly.

Today.

Living conditions in Congo Gold have elevated dramatically from the time before his leadership, ensuring his popularity remains exceptionally high.

Soon enough.

The upcoming election.

Feels securely within reach.

Reflecting on this.

He felt reassured.

Another idea crossed his thoughts regarding the key elements driving these shifts, like Tang Qing, the Myanmar Bank Group, and their primary role in the building efforts.

---In Huaxia.

He held deep appreciation.

Immensely thankful.

...

In a short while.

They left the urban limits.

The motorcade sped along a broad expressway, and at the horizon of the flatlands, the massive outline of the fresh city faintly appeared.

One term echoed in his mind.

Stunning!

From any viewpoint, it captivates the eye, and he quietly dreamed of revamping the whole capital, though it's merely a fleeting fancy.

Funds are lacking.

Even this city relied on collective contributions to come to life.

At present.

Congo Gold's governmental budget focuses intensely on foundational developments, including highways, overpasses, rail lines, and essential public costs.

Divert funds to erect a fresh capital?

Pure fantasy!

Seek loans?

A lender must exist first, and estimates suggest at least four or five trillion Asia Dollars, an amount Myanmar Bank Group won't provide.

Excessively large.

Progress must happen gradually.

Abruptly.

An notion surfaced: Why not raise funds for a new capital project?

"..."

In an instant.

His own suggestion shocked him, but it seemed potentially workable. Constructing in a remote spot would surely face opposition from existing capital dwellers.

Hence.

Memories of Langyu County from his Myanmar trip came to mind, where expansions blend old and new, and once inhabitants relocate, the prior structures get removed.

Through this approach.

Numerous obstacles could be overcome.

Yet.

While the concept attracts him, he realizes execution proves far from straightforward, though upon his return, floating the proposal might yield results—who knows?

...

Right then.

A deputy leader commented.

"I've heard numerous business tycoons plan to develop a follow-up new city, perhaps even more beyond that, targeting Congo Gold's premier urban centers."

"Excellent news."

Waite grinned.

The interest from tycoons in launching another new city didn't catch him off guard. After all, who turns down quality advancements? Moreover, it signals solid investment and faith.

Back in the day.

Local conditions lagged far behind international standards.

Consequently.

Vast fortunes amassed by locals fled overseas. Under his guidance now, while parity with the West remains elusive, the progress stands as remarkable.

Hope glimmers.

As such.

Investors circle back, not just for urban builds but across various businesses, spotting how advancing infrastructure unlocks.

Fresh opportunities.

Forming a vast marketplace.

Unsurprisingly.

Savvy entrepreneurs seize such chances.

"Currently."

"Myanmar Bank Group stands to rake in more profits." The deputy remarked with a helpless chuckle.

What a bind!

They aspire to spearhead these ventures, yet partners overlook them, opting instead for Myanmar Bank Group to collect oversight charges over granting them control.

Naturally.

Distrust isn't the sole barrier.

Equally.

Standards of excellence weigh heavily.

To be blunt.

Should they oversee the grand bids, direct operations, and uphold quality, he doubts his team's ability to avoid mishaps—impossible.

Furthermore.

Myanmar Bank Group's stellar track record in city building plays a role; the mighty grow mightier, and for public collections, folks favor established overseers.

In the end.

No one treats money lightly.

"Indeed." Waite agreed with a nod and a soft sigh.

His thoughts drifted to last month's deals Myanmar Bank Group clinched in the Arab regions, stirring a pang of jealousy—projects worth billions of dollars.

Fees for planning and supervision alone hit tens of billions USD.

Astonishing!

Such lucrative returns.

Additionally.

Myanmar-linked companies will pocket hefty gains too, feasting lavishly. Though he envies them, he understands this bounty is for others to savor.

It's their expertise at work.

...

Within Congo Gold's new metropolis.

This very instant.

The area thrives with activity, and surveying the scene, it resembles a thriving nation's urban hub.

Spotless.

Orderly.

Attractive.

Years prior, imagining such a place seemed impossible. On this visit, most attendees had pooled resources for the project originally; joy filled the air.

Stepping inside homes.

Decorations stand ready. Consistent guidelines with varied aesthetics, as contributors selected styles during building phases.

Televisions.

Cooling systems.

Web connectivity.

Chillers.

...

Everything furnished.

Naturally.

Not every unit matches this; selections incur costs, so some prefer self-fitting—deliveries come as empty shells.

No obligations.

Still.

Right now.

Plenty rue their choices.

Watching neighbors settle in fully equipped, while they tackle piecemeal setups, brings mild regret. Remember, initial backers often hail from middle-income brackets.

Thus.

Inevitably, they worry neighbors judge empty spaces as signs of financial strain.

Sigh!

Pride matters to them.

Fine then.

No use dwelling; time to furnish onward.

...

This particular day.

Across Congo Gold.

Excitement surrounds the new city's handover.

The affluent.

Having skipped prior fundraisers, now gear up for upcoming builds, eager to snag properties—be it for profit or personal use, the value shines.

The less fortunate pledge inwardly to hustle for earnings, aiming to relocate, since viable income paths were scarce before.

Days of idleness.

Aimless drifting.

Nowadays.

Possibilities abound.

Electricity brings.

Myriad needs to the forefront, skipping details, merely fixing gadgets could sustain countless lives, alongside linked service sectors.

At the same time.

Firms tied to Myanmar pour investments into Congo.

Agriculture.

Livestock.

Manufacturing plants.

All require workforce, and projects offer jobs aplenty for the willing—once uniformity ruled, turning inert meant staying put.

Today.

Effort yields upgrades: bikes become scooters, scooters evolve to autos.

In a flash.

Countless outlooks shifted dramatically.

...

Post-handover.

Resale housing in the city boomed explosively, hardly shocking, as many contributors viewed units as assets, not residences.

Yet.

Unlike vague past blueprints, tangible structures near the capital now sell effortlessly.

Notably.

Retail spaces' values climbed even steeper.

Inevitable.

Typical urban areas.

Fresh constructions keep rising, flooding commercial spots, and for enduring worth, they no longer promise multi-generational security like old times.

Risks of sudden obsolescence loom.

But.

For this new development.

Bans on additional buildings ensure commercial holdings hold strong value over extended times, if not eternally.

Far from instant irrelevance.

Hence.

Tremendous potential for returns, especially since residents here tend to be well-off, with spending power surpassing elsewhere.
