Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

In addition to the public transportation industry, another area where Nanhua has made major investments is the technology industry.

Compared with transportation, the government's investment in this area is relatively less, but this does not mean that the government does not attach importance to the development of domestic science and technology industries.

Mainly, investment in this area is generally undertaken by domestic capital. For example, several consortiums under the name of the royal family are the largest domestic technology investment companies, as well as companies under the names of domestic noble families, and the chaebols that have emerged in recent years.

These people all know how South China became the world's number one economic power today. Precisely because they understand the ins and outs here, these people have also been investing heavily in the technology industry.

If you want to develop science and technology, you naturally need a large number of highly educated talents. For this reason, several or even dozens of new universities have been established in South China every year since 45.

To this day, there are still more than 600 universities in South China.

This number seems to be quite a lot, but for a city as big as South China, only 600 universities are definitely not enough, so in recent years the government has invested heavily in setting up 200 technical colleges. These technical colleges correspond to a certain industry in the country. Although the reputation of technical colleges is not as loud as those of comprehensive universities, for some companies, the birth of technical colleges has made it easier for them to recruit talents.

截止50年10月份，经民政部统计，南华的人口已经从42年的1.74亿上涨到如今的3.83亿。

The increase in population is mainly due to three parts. The first part is naturally the population that was incorporated into South China when it annexed lands from other countries. The number of these people is about 43 million. The second part is immigrants from the mainland, with a number of about 11 million. The last part is the naturally born population.

Because the country is concerned about the people's fertility, the country will even provide various subsidies after the birth of the third child.

It is precisely because of this series of measures taken by the government that the feat of doubling the population in eight years was achieved.

However, even though South China’s current population is approaching 400 million, it is still small considering South China’s existing territory.

You should know that the current population of South China is basically concentrated on the islands in the South Pacific, and this part of the territory alone is home to more than 250 million people.

But the area of ​​Nanyang is so small. South China has nearly 20 million square kilometers of territory in Australia and Africa. It is obviously unreasonable that only 100 million people live in such a large territory.

It is no longer possible for Nanhua to count on immigrants from its hometown in the north to fill its population. After all, those who could survive have already come here in the early years, and the rest are naturally unwilling to move.

As for attracting immigrants from other countries, this is also unrealistic. Nanhua is famous for its xenophobia. Although there have been no racial discrimination scandals in Nanhua, the problem is that everyone is aware of how Nanhua treated Niko and the local indigenous people of Nanyang in the past.

Nanhua says that it does not discriminate against other ethnic groups, but looking at what Nanhua has done in the past, isn’t this discrimination?

This is why there were a large number of white senior officials who followed Sun Tong to establish the country. The existence of these people greatly strengthened the connection between white people and Chinese in South China. Otherwise, you just wait, these Chinese in South China are looked down upon even by white people in Europe and the United States.

Not to mention them, even the white people in South China look down on their "poor relatives" in their hometown.

Look at the life that the people of Nanhua are living now, and then look at those "poor guys".

Nanhua set the minimum wage line as early as 40 years ago. Let’s put it this way, if the lowest-income people in Nanhua today go to Europe and the United States, they would be considered middle class.

More importantly, Nanhua has been engaged in the development of the entire industry, especially the industrial sector. Nanhua has never given up on industrial development, which has also resulted in very low prices in Nanhua.

High income and low prices. If you didn’t say this is the South China Empire, people might think this is the United States in the 1980s and 1990s.

In fact, the lives of ordinary people in the Ugly Country cannot be compared with those of the citizens of Nanhua. There is a gap of several levels between the two sides.

The common people have money, which is also of great benefit to domestic capitalists. After all, with the support of the domestic market, they can explore overseas markets with peace of mind. The only thing that makes Nanhua businessmen feel headache is that Longguo is too closed at the moment. Their products are obviously better, but they can never enter the Longguo market.

Currently, the only two things that Nanhua can export to Longguo are food and steel. However, Longguo has recently set its sights on Nanhua's rubber.

However, Longguo does not have much foreign exchange at the moment, so the Longguo government proposed a strategy of exchanging oil and gold for rubber.

It sounds unreliable that an "oil-poor country" uses oil to exchange materials from the world's largest oil-producing country, but in order to take care of its hometown, the South China government finally agreed to the deal with Longguo.
