Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Chapter 628 Trade Between the Two Realms

After spending several days dealing with Wanda, Natasha, and Helen Zhao, feeling refreshed and invigorated, he leisurely returned to the main universe.

Two weeks later, Awai Group officially declared bankruptcy, and a large number of employees lost their jobs overnight.

The once-glorious Ma Huyou looked dejected and sat alone for a long time, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Revenue continues to shrink, while operating expenses remain high—sky-high electricity bills, rent, and labor costs have already put the company under immense pressure.

After receiving their severance pay, the people went their separate ways to make a living. Even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to find other jobs.

Dahong Group dominates both the live streaming and e-commerce sectors.

The software industry suffers from a severe oversupply of talent, making it extremely difficult to stand out.

Squeezed by this, many small and medium-sized processing plants have gone bankrupt one after another.

However, the unemployment rate across China has actually decreased by more than half compared to a few years ago.

As long as you're willing to work hard, there's never a shortage of jobs.

The world of Mr. Zombie is desperately craving all kinds of industrial products.

One after another, abandoned factories restarted their machines and began to emit smoke again.

Every day, tens of thousands of industrial products are continuously transported to the world of Mr. Zombie.

Every day, precious materials such as gold, silver, jade, and emeralds flow back to the main universe from the world of Mr. Zombie.

To improve transportation efficiency, Lin Quan expanded the original aperture, which was about three meters in diameter, into a stable optical gate that was ten meters high and twenty meters wide.

Centered on Renjia Town, brand-new asphalt roads extend in all directions like blood vessels.

Bulldozers, road rollers, bridge-building machines... all kinds of construction machinery are working day and night to pave roads and build bridges in the world of Mr. Zombie.

Global trade? How much can you earn by selling goods to neighboring countries?

Ordinary industrial products with low technical barriers to entry can easily see their profits multiply several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times once they enter the world of Mr. Zombie.

Overcapacity? This term is completely ineffective in the world of Mr. Zombie.

The advance team used funding to pave the way and quickly acquired plots of land.

The massive amount of industrial products sold to the world of Mr. Zombie generated countless profits.

Armed confrontation? A drone flew overhead, dropping several specially made munitions, and the enemy was instantly annihilated.

In just a few months, the advance team has purchased large quantities of iron ore, silver ore, gold ore, and even oil deposits in the Mr. Zombie world.

Having thoroughly studied the movie's plot, Lin Jiu decisively defeated Shi Jian and successfully took control of the Maoshan Sect.

Relying on industrial materials supplied by the main universe, the Maoshan Sect has become incredibly wealthy.

Lin Jiu, the deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Myriad Realms, formally sent letters to major sects such as the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Qingxu Temple.

After weighing the pros and cons, various factions joined together, dividing responsibilities according to region, and working together to guard the areas where demons and monsters frequently occurred.

Maoshan Sect, Qingxu Temple, Longhu Sect, and others undertake the distribution of consumer goods—daily necessities with low technical content and high sales volume.

High-precision or special-purpose products are exclusively handled by the advance team.

……

Main universe, inside Wuxian Gymnasium, Feitian Trading Company office area.

"Mr. Zhang, please sign. The total order for Xiawei X01 is 30 million units."

This phone has entered the Chinese market, the world of Iron Man.

With mobile phone prices continuing to fall, the low-end version of the Xiawei X01 retails for only 2,500 Xiawei coins in the main universe.

Once transported to China in the Iron Man universe, it can be resold for 5,000 Chinese yuan.

Of course, settlements between China and China were mainly conducted using hard currencies such as gold and silver.

For example, a single Xiawei X01 unit can generate a net profit of about two thousand, which is split 50/50 between the two parties.

To coordinate cross-border logistics, the World Liaison Office officially registered and established Feitian Trading Company.

Every day, a massive amount of goods are shipped to the worlds of Mr. Zombie and Iron Man through this channel.

Similarly, mountains of raw materials and finished products are distributed daily by the company to various parts of China.

In the Iron Man universe, the China Shenmao Bureau spearheaded the formation of more than thirty trading companies.

All goods imported from China are distributed to distributors at various levels by these companies.

China, with its population of over a billion, is a supermarket; China, with its population of over a billion, is also an irreplaceable supermarket.

Huaxia's industrial products have no competitors in the world of Mr. Zombie—a century-old technological gap is enough to completely suppress all similar local industries.

The internet and finance industries suffered heavy blows, while the manufacturing, processing, and equipment industries expanded rapidly, forcing a large number of Chinese to switch careers and devote themselves to real industries.

Setting up a small factory is not difficult as long as all the necessary permits are in place; and as long as the products are up to standard, there is no need to worry about sales.

To alleviate the widening gap between the rich and the poor, China has significantly raised the prices of basic agricultural products such as grains, vegetables, and fruits.

If prices don't go up, there will be no one in the fields—everyone will go to set up factories, who will still be willing to bend down and farm?

Ordinary rice used to cost less than two yuan per kilogram.

The yield of rice is about 1,000 jin per mu, but after processing into rice, only about 800 jin remain.

A mu (unit of land area) of land can't be sold for much money. After deducting the costs of fertilizer, seeds, harvesting, and transplanting, most farmers would be losing money without policy subsidies.

Large-scale mechanized farming? The plains of China are scarce, and the terrain in many places is complex, making it simply not feasible.

Basic necessities such as grains, vegetables, and fruits have been included in a strictly controlled embargo list.

As the prices of rice, vegetables, apples, and other commodities rose to over ten yuan per kilogram, farming became profitable again, and many people packed their bags and returned to their hometowns to farm.

Jobs in coastal factories start at a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan; wages in inland factories are at least 20,000 yuan.

With prices of rice, flour, oil, vegetables, and radishes rising again and again, many migrant workers have simply packed up their belongings and gone back to their hometowns to farm.

What to do when you can't find enough people? Bosses have no choice but to grit their teeth and raise wages, and one after another, they follow suit.

There's no worry about selling the goods—by paying the workers higher wages, the profits are still substantial.

Wages are too low? Can't they run their own factory? If one person doesn't have enough capital, surely a few fellow villagers can chip in? If they can't work in a big factory, can't they at least set up a small family-run factory?

No one expected that China's industrial center would shift so quietly.

The vast majority of industrial products were shipped to the Mr. Zombie world; a small portion was sold to the Iron Man world.

……

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month that year, Lin Quan drove an amphibious armored vehicle, carrying Chen Shiyan and the others, and set off to return to his hometown for the New Year.

He rolled up his sleeves and personally took charge of the cooking, serving up dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Bok Choy, and Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce...

Firecrackers explode, and the New Year's Eve dinner is served; people sit in a circle to play cards, chat by the door, and fishermen squat on the bank to cast their lines.

After paying New Year's visits at his maternal uncle's house and staying at Baoshan Farm for a few days, Lin Quan led his people back to Haizhou.

I had dinner and drinks with Liu Yu, Ma Tao, and Li Xiong, and we even took a cow to a fight.

After being cooped up in the Cuizhu residential area for a few days, Lin Quan set off for the world of Iron Man.

Later, he got along well with Wanda, Natasha, Diana and others; after that, he returned to the world of Mr. Zombie with Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu.
