Chapter 721, Wang's Trading Company
Jason Morgan's various tactics in the Fox Moon Starfield are essentially about dividing up the pie.
That is certainly important. The benefits of production capacity should be controlled by the alliance. Otherwise, it will be controlled by the inefficient bureaucratic system of the empire, just like in the past. How can the alliance concentrate its efforts on major tasks? How can it collect enough tax revenue to satisfy the empire while still having room to develop the local economy?
However, simply dividing the cake is definitely not enough.
Having grasped the situation in the Fox Moon Starfield and dealt with various forces, Jason Morgan did not forget to expand the pie.
Development is the fundamental goal.
In this respect, he also has a unique advantage: the Jin Di Star and the Gang Huo Long Star Region.
The two are actually one.
He worked in the Steelfire Dragon Star District for so many years, and the development of the Steelfire Dragon Star District was inseparable from the Mingyang Sect. He went to Jindi Star many times, made many friends, and personally negotiated many collaborations.
These methods can also be used in Fox Moon.
Talking about cooperation from Jindi Star is a bit far-fetched, the distance is too great; but Alamita is not that far, so it's still worth discussing.
Another factor is the relocation of some industries that benefit from technology spillover from the Steel Fire Dragon Star District.
This matter was originally encouraged and promoted by the Alliance Central Committee.
The core area of the alliance is engaged in high-value production and industrial upgrading. Naturally, the eliminated production capacity needs to be absorbed. Forcing the core area to also engage in this is not a good approach. Even for those who cannot enter high-end industries, transitioning to service industries or supporting industries would be more reasonable.
By virtue of his status as a 'former leader' of the Steelfire Dragon Star District, he was able to successfully absorb the overflow production lines from the Steelfire Dragon Star District.
There are multiple industries that can be transported to the Fox Moon Star Region.
He has decided to build a new industrial center in the Nine Maidens Star Region, the southernmost part of the Fox Moon Starfield.
Nine Women have a natural locational advantage, being relatively close to the Alfonzo foundry world to the south. In the past, they have undertaken a lot of resource processing and served as suppliers for the three foundry worlds in Alfonzo.
This means that the Nine Women Star Region actually already had a certain industrial base.
The industries he transferred from the Steel Fire Dragon Star District happen to require a certain industrial foundation to succeed.
The most valuable of these is the production technology for some of Titan's common components;
It's not just about introducing the production line, but also about including a complete set of technical specifications. That means that if the industrial base is sufficient, the production line can be expanded.
These Titan components are of considerable value to Aramita in forging the world.
This single industry alone can immediately provide jobs for millions of people; around the hundreds of thousands of people with high output value, a series of supporting processing industries, energy industries, service industries can be derived... the entire planet will benefit from this.
As production lines expand further, the industrial spillover effect will be even stronger.
Of course, this is just one of the industrial lines that have been relocated from the Steelfire Dragon Star District. There are others, which, although not as technologically advanced, are quite suitable for the industrial base of the Nine Maidens Star District and are also suitable for working for Alamita.
Working for the foundry world was a development path Jason Morgan had taken before, and he was very familiar with it.
However, relying solely on the manufacturing industry of Titan parts is certainly not enough to support the development of an entire star sector.
Jason's goal is to transform the Nine Star District into a star industry center within ten years.
Fortunately, his wife had served as the principal of the Loyal Succession Academy in the Alliance Central Committee for many years, and her network of connections was quite reliable. As a veteran of the Alliance himself, he also knew many people.
Combining these two approaches, he also secured a major investment from the alliance's overall industrial support project for the nine star regions of the Spiderweb Universe: a production line for Camel-class civilian transport ships.
The Camel-class isn't particularly large; it's slightly larger than the Flying Dolphin but much smaller than the Whale-class. It's not a warship, so the production value of manufacturing it isn't that high.
But no matter what, those civilian ships are still starships!
Shipbuilding, as an ultimate industry and an absolute heavy manufacturing industry, possesses the most representative characteristic of ultimate industries—its enormous integration effect.
From raw materials to industrial processing to the energy industry, and with a massive workforce, along with various consumer goods industries and service industries... the whole sector will take off.
Even a relatively small civilian transport ship like the Camel-class has a price tag of fifty million per ship.
If the annual production can be increased by a few more ships, the effect will be very good.
You can use it to pay taxes directly;
Those with surplus funds can collect them to develop the civil aviation industry, build merchant ships, expand the scale of the caravans in this star region, and accelerate the circulation of goods within the star region, which will greatly help the economic development of the entire star region.
The ships carrying the relevant technical blueprints and equipment are almost here.
Jason Morgan, and many locals in the Fox Moon Starfield, eagerly awaited the arrival of his newfound status.
Jason also knew that the caravan responsible for transporting these devices came from the second largest trading company in the alliance—the Wang Family Trading Company.
Its size is second only to the largest Gu family business.
In fact, it was originally separated from the Gu Family Business Company and received a large amount of investment from the Gu Family Business Company.
It owns dozens of fleets that transported supplies and personnel to the front-line troops during the war without complaint; during lulls in the war, when there was still spare capacity, it worked hard to maintain trade between the alliance and the outside world to earn money; now, it has taken on the responsibility of transporting large fleets for industrial relocation.
More importantly, Jason Morgan also heard that the caravan passing through the Fox Moon Starfield was exceptionally large, and it wasn't just there to transport equipment and technology to Fox Moon; it would also be bringing in a lot of supplies and taking many away. After passing through the Fox Moon Starfield, it would continue north, eventually completing a trade with the Devouring Star Universe.
The trading partner is the renowned 'Infinite Starfield'. Ultra 500 Stars shines brightly in the history of the Human Empire, being the home of the once-massive Infinite Legion during the Legion era. Although the Legion has since been disbanded, the Infinite Warband, as one of the founding legions, still uses Ultra Star, the capital of the Infinite Starfield, as its home planet, protecting this starfield.
The Infinite Starfield is located southwest of the Star Devouring Spacefield, and is also part of the Empire's Eastern Frontier, belonging to the Transcendent Spacefield. The distance from the Transcendent Spacefield to the northern part of the Spiderweb Spacefield is not particularly far. Although it is separated by the Star Devouring Spacefield, it is not necessary to cross the entire Star Devouring Spacefield. You only need to cut in from the southwest corner.
Their coming to do business with the Alliance naturally means Infinite Chapter.
During the last war, a company of the Infinite Chapter was saved by the Alliance. After fighting side by side throughout the entire war, they formed a friendship.
This trade is a testament to our friendship.
Therefore, to show that it was a serious matter, the caravan dispatched by the Wang family business was led by a heavyweight figure - Ms. Wang Jiarong.
As the head of the Wang family business and also the cousin of Governor Gu, she is the most distinguished person in the alliance who has managed to travel this far.
Jason Morgan also had his own agenda.
He really hoped to meet Wang Jiarong. Just for a chat of ten or fifteen minutes would be enough. If she spared him a little something, he could have a full meal.
