Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2483 - 2321: An Industry on the Verge of Extinction
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
In an instant.
This massive impact struck hard.
It inflicted profound psychological trauma upon countless Indians. Watching the frenetic news reports, a sense of dizziness washed over the populace.
Damn it!
They had almost completely overlooked this.
In this day and age.
It has evolved into a critical annual milestone. Across India, over a billion souls labor tirelessly for half a year, yet their collective output barely reaches three times this specific sum.
Furthermore.
The global community views these figures with deep suspicion.
Toward the end of January.
When India unveiled its GDP data, the timing overlapped with the Davos Annual Meeting. Amidst the chaos of Greece's exit, they desperately sought the spotlight, only to find that no one truly cared.
They were the only ones foolishly celebrating.
A week later.
The fervor surrounding Davos began to wane.
Simultaneously.
As international focus on the Greek crisis subsided, Western media outlets finally weighed in. However, their coverage felt like a stab in the back.
"Phew!"
It was heart-wrenching.
The report bristled with skepticism.
It was frustrating.
Deadlocked.
They yearned to strike back, yet they felt utterly powerless. The analysis wasn't mere fabrication; it meticulously detailed India’s economic and trade performance over the preceding year.
It even accounted for currency fluctuations and population growth.
All things considered.
The report was exhaustive, leading to a single, stinging conclusion.
---Infused with fluff!
Heavily diluted at that. The inherently slapdash and unscientific statistical methods employed were subjected to ruthless scrutiny. They had braced themselves for praise, only to be cut down.
It was utterly infuriating!
Conversely.
Experts largely endorsed Myanmar’s GDP figures, even suggesting they might be conservative. This was because their accounting methods mirrored those of Huaxia.
They only track aggregate output that meets a certain threshold.
Small-scale enterprises.
Street vendors.
These sectors, often tallied by other nations, are excluded entirely.
Consequently.
The assessment posits that Myanmar’s GDP is actually undervalued. If measured against standard international metrics, Myanmar might very well rival India.
In a flash.
The very sky seemed to lose its luster for them.
...
Shortly thereafter.
The reports continued relentlessly.
"Within fifteen minutes, two trillion RMB worth of Modulation Solution was sold out, with over a third of the acquisitions coming from major wine enterprises."
"The implications are clear."
"Fruit wine market."
"It will face intense market disruption, given that these products paired with wine companies offer a unique sensory stimulation."
"..."
After processing this.
Countless individuals powered down their mobile devices, inhaled deeply, ignited a cigarette, and sat in the swirling haze, contemplating the fragility of life.
Perhaps.
They truly needed to embrace reality.
In the near term.
Surpassing Huaxia is out of the question; merely stabilizing their position to hold off Myanmar would be a blessing. Mentioning Huaxia causes their faces to twitch, especially after the nation’s explosive resurgence last year.
They first eclipsed Japan.
Securing the title of the world’s second-largest economy. Their GDP is three times that of India. To bridge such a gap, even if Huaxia remained stagnant, it would take years.
At least a decade.
Possibly.
Even longer to catch up.
Admittedly.
There exists a 'shortcut'—namely, a drastic appreciation of the Rupee. If it doubled in value, the GDP would double; a tenfold increase would dwarf both Europe and America.
But clearly.
Such maneuvers are pure fantasy, entirely unfeasible.
Avoiding depreciation.
That is already a stroke of fortune.
...
Europe and America.
Various nations.
Also reported on these developments. Seeing another four hundred billion dollars in orders once again shocked the public; the sheer scale remains overwhelming.
Nevertheless.
Experiencing it for the second time.
There was some level of mental preparation.
If one runs the numbers.
Over half of Myanmar’s GDP stems from the Myanmar Bank Group. Critics emerged rapidly, decrying its monopoly and the erosion of social equity.
They claimed it stifled Myanmar’s entrepreneurs.
In general.
A wave of protest emerged, drawing a significant following.
However.
No matter the volume of the outcry.
It had zero impact on Myanmar.
Because no domestic media outlet gave these opinions airtime. On a street in Xin’an City, witnessing the turmoil, an American confronted a local passerby.
"Why do you not protest the monopoly of the Myanmar Bank Group?"
The query.
Left the man flabbergasted.
Then.
He countered.
"Why should I protest?"
"They are a monopoly," the American insisted.
The local retorted:
"Monopoly or not, their existence is justified by results. Don’t your Western nations harbor your own monopolies? If you want to preach about anti-monopoly laws, disclose all your proprietary technology first, then we can talk."
"Otherwise."
"What is the point?"
With that.
He walked away with a strut.
For several moments.
The American stood there, trying to regain his composure.
"How rude!"
He muttered under his breath. It was clearly a bait-and-switch. He was discussing administrative monopoly, while the other had deflected to technological hegemony. The two are entirely distinct.
Still.
Even regarding administrative monopoly.
It appeared.
That from what he could see, far from crushing 'innovation opportunities,' it hadn't diminished the quality of daily life—in fact, it had improved it.
Land allocation.
Housing development.
Job creation.
Education.
Healthcare.
...
Myanmar addressed these livelihood issues remarkably well, keeping social friction to a minimum. With ample food, drink, housing, and property, why would one stir up dissent against a monopoly?
Was he foolish?
Among these factors.
What truly elicited the American’s envy was the Myanmar Bank Group’s 'all-encompassing' strategy, which had effectively integrated the nation's entire healthcare system.
Utilizing the full weight of the state.
To innovate in medical technology.
Ignoring other variables.
The national medical burden had been slashed, individual costs were manageable, and 'poverty through illness' had become a rarity, all while fostering economic growth.
At the very least.
Currently, this strategy seemed incredibly effective.
Though.
The United States wished to emulate it.
It was a massive challenge.
Interests were too tangled, and capitalist avarice knew no bounds. If they could profit the price of a luxury car, they would never settle for a bicycle; this has been the historical trend.
This reflection prompted.
"Sigh!"
The American let out a soft groan.
It seemed unsolvable.
Within a capitalist framework, attempting to reform capital from within is essentially a recipe for disaster. Seeing headlines about the disruption of the fruit wine market, he sighed again.
This sigh.
Wasn't directed at the wine market.
But rather, the issue of migration.
In the past.
The arrival of fruit wine had nearly crippled the global trade in addictive substances, effectively dismantling an entire industry and impacting millions.
Consequently.
Many suffered job losses.
Take Mexico, for instance.
A country cursed by being too far from God and too close to the United States. Following the industry's collapse, over a million individuals lost their livelihoods, pushing the country toward the brink.
Eventually.
The influx of people attempting to cross borders to find employment in the States spiked tenfold.
That crowd.
In waves.
In legions.
Swarmed like insects, surging into America. The fallout was predictable, driving the Immigration Bureau to its breaking point. A chaotic scenario, and even today, many attempt the crossing daily.
Security crises.
Labor market turmoil.
These problems only grew more acute.
Therefore.
Americans harbor complicated feelings toward fruit wine.
Of course.
There was a positive side.
For instance, regarding criminal activity; not long after the introduction of Transcription Fluid, the rampant local trade in illicit organ harvesting largely dissolved as the market demand plummeted.
Transcription Fluid.
Satisfied over eighty percent of the requirements for organ replacement caused by sickness.
Nowadays.
On a global scale, standard voluntary body donations are sufficient for patients whose needs cannot be met by Transcription Fluid. This effectively purged the illegal industrial pipeline.
Hoping to sell a kidney?
Sorry.
The demand has vanished.
