Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2502 - 2340: Upgrade
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
South Africa industrial park.
Right at this moment.
The opening ceremony kicks off. Weather's pleasant today since South Africa matches Australia's latitude. Northern Hemisphere faces winter, while Southern Hemisphere enjoys summer.
But now.
Northern Hemisphere welcomes early spring.
Southern Hemisphere steps into autumn.
Hence.
Conditions stay refreshingly cool. Thousands crowd the vast square buzzing with energy. Tang Qing hates long-winded talks, slashing the event to just half an hour.
Including.
His own speech lasting five minutes.
The remaining time.
Belonged to the South African President and top officials' addresses. With such a massive project and all local media watching, shortening it too much would look bad.
Down below.
The crowd appears full of vigor.
Just half an hour.
Bear through it, and it's done.
...
Meanwhile.
Huaxia.
Huaxia media had prepped stories on the South African steel park launch and blasted them out. Though distant, only CCTV showed up live.
Still.
Gathering info proved simple.
Quickly.
This story shot to second on hot searches. Any news featuring Tang Qing guarantees massive traffic these days.
Pick a catchy title.
Bound for top ten.
Often number one.
This round.
UK Brexit news explodes too hard. Eastern netizens tracked European drama for half a year; now another blockbuster hits.
Ignore it? Impossible!
"Courting death!"
"Not so sure, exiting EU might boost UK, never underestimate the empire's depths."
"True enough."
"Whatever! Doesn't affect us."
"Huge news feast."
"..."
On UK Brexit, when buzz first erupted, crowds claimed it impossible. Endless analyses droned on like speeches.
Today.
All quiet now.
Damn.
Who foresaw that press conference flipping everything? It spiraled out of control, ink everywhere, EU still scrambling to mop up.
Yet.
Seems.
Cleanup's incomplete forever.
Explanations?
Who's listening? Pure rage now. Started as Greece exit; UK joins, complicating chaos further.
Bottom line.
Europe's future? Unknown. But this story's longevity? Guaranteed.
...
Nineteenth.
Morning.
Tang Qing wraps up South Africa visit.
Airport.
Allen and team see him off personally.
"He's gone!"
Gazing at the plane, Allen sighs deeply.
"Yeah!"
Duo Su nods.
A touch reluctant.
Around Tang Qing, age fades fast. Childlike in purity, sage-like in wisdom.
In essence:
Wisdom bordering on divine.
True.
Only such brilliance crafts miracles in years. Lucky for them, they're part of it too.
Steel park's merely one.
Hummingbird.
They're partners there too.
One in South Africa.
Other in Nigeria; Hummingbird Network expands. Internet gaps slow business, but progress builds steadily.
No net?
Build it.
No power?
Wire it.
No roads?
Pave them.
Weak spending? Spark it. Before, idleness ruled; solo change fails.
Now.
Both nations stir with reform waves. SMEs and big funds, maybe spurred by Myanmar loans and builds, reject stagnation.
Crave shift.
So.
No lone battles.
Beyond both lands.
He knows.
Over half African nations stir with fresh momentum and ideas, not just biz but governments too.
This surge.
Its force steers Africa's path. Think tanks agree: Myanmar aid sparks mindset shift.
Plus.
No other explanation fits.
Someone orchestrating?
Ha!
Ridiculous dream talk.
So many folks, firms, elites, scholars, officials... One error wrecks it.
Thus.
Pure organic outcome.
"Come on, hop in the car, grab drinks, cheers to the uncertain road ahead." Duo Su grins.
"Haha, let's do it."
...
South African park launch slashes Wan Qing Mining's order crunch instantly. All three African parks run maxed out, pumping impressive steel volumes.
Plus.
Ultra-low costs.
No surprise.
Near mines! High-grade ore hauls to furnaces in under an hour. All parks follow suit.
Cost edge massive.
Of course.
Translates to end-price wins.
Suddenly.
Wan Qing Mining grabs bigger African steel slice. Hurt prior imports from elsewhere?
Nope.
Demand.
Supply.
Imbalance alone impacts.
Clearly.
Africa's old steel need: one unit. Now tripled. Wan Qing snags two, leaves one.
Thus.
Rivals envy the fresh demand feast Wan Qing devoured, stuck with scraps.
No starvation.
But.
Jealousy burns fierce.
Powerless.
They moved first; demand popped, they pounced. Three parks drop sequential, devouring Africa's new hunger.
Catch up?
Too late, just curse in circles.
...
Twenty-fifth.
UK.
Referendum launches.
At last.
Three days later, it ends. News blasts global headlines again; Chai Ren in far-off Beijing gapes slightly.
Back then.
Arctic trip chats hit this.
Greece.
Tang Qing predicted likely exit; most doubted.
Then.
It happened.
...
United Kingdom.
Tang Qing foresaw probable Brexit; most scoffed, saw mere hype, excitement sans real change.
Now.
It's real.
All.
Looking back, prophetic vibes hit. First call easier to retro-justify, angles reveal clues.
But.
Spokesperson's bombshell shoved events into frenzy, UK exit fever peaking wild.
Fact.
No expert cracks this wildcard; all stumped. Good thing they spin post-facto logic.
Chai Ren puzzles: Tang Qing's guess or insider? Process aside.
Tang Qing.
Nailed it.
Though he said possible only. Versus masses' impossible, his stance shone bold.
On Tang Qing.
Suddenly feels, never truly grasped him.
...
Elsewhere.
Tang Qing glances over, then ignores it. Upgrade looms.
