The system’s answer left Tang Qing feeling a bit dazed.
Two hundred billion RMB?
Tang Qing couldn’t quite believe it.
Damn, did he have that much money?
No, did he have that many assets? He had no idea.
Could the system be counting that plot of land he had in Myanmar?
But that shouldn’t amount to so much.
"So, system bro, did you include the land I have in Myanmar in the calculation?" Tang Qing asked incredulously. He could believe that land being worth a hundred billion RMB, but two hundred billion, and this is the minimum? That’s a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?
"Yes, host." the system answered definitively.
Tang Qing swallowed hard.
Damn, he really did have that many assets.
"System, but I’ve had that land since March, and it’s now June. Why didn’t I complete the billion-dollar asset-owner achievent task before?" Tang Qing asked again. His asset gains had skyrocketed previously, and every refresh on the first of the month would finish the asset owner task, but the task capped at a billion was untouched for two months without any movent. This didn’t add up.
The system imdiately answered, "Host, the asset-owner task tallies the total value of non-monetary assets you control. Before, you’d only just gotten control of the area in Myanmar and didn’t have total ownership, so it wasn’t counted. But once your influence perates all aspects of the area, establishing a comprehensive managent system, gaining legislative and enforcent rights, and receiving approval of your rule from ninety-five percent of the locals, then it’ll be totaled in."
Tang Qing nodded in enlightened understanding.
Indeed, the soldiers had established a comprehensive managent system there, and of course, they were the ones to enforce and legislate. Coupled with the disarming and large-scale infrastructure and industrial construction, clearing of land for farming, Kan Hua (a local practice), and other asures created a lot of jobs. This raised their incos and gradually stabilized the local’s hearts, accepting the soldier’s ruling power.
So, that’s it.
"So you’re saying, only when I have full control over the property there it can be counted in, right?" Tang Qing asked again.
"Yes, host," the system answered.
"Then how did you calculate the total value of the assets? I don’t rember it being that valuable." Tang Qing asked.
"Host, Every person that recognizes your ruling power is calculated as a hundred thousand RMB, every square kiloter of land ownership is one million RMB, the surface structures are calculated by their investnt cost, and all the minerals within three kiloters underground are calculated at current international mineral prices," the system said.
The first calculation made by the system was easy to understand. People were also considered part of Tang Qing’s assets. Although it seed a bit low at only one hundred thousand yuan, considering the local cost of living, that amount probably equated to their total inco for half their lives.
"So, how much total value did you calculate for the Myanmar property?"
Tang Qing also was curious.
Two hundred billion yuan was only an upper limit, not its real value.
However, the system was ’stubborn as ever’.
"Since the asset-owner task has been cancelled and will not be generated in the future, you may pay 100 million yuan each ti you want to use this service."
Hearing these words, Tang Qing couldn’t help but feel indignant.
Damn it.
Tang Qing clenched his fists.
You’ve already made the calculations, and now you’re asking for money. You’ve got no sha.
Alright then.
The system had lost all its sha.
"Okay, fine, take the hundred million and get it over with." Tang Qing said helplessly. Although paying a hundred million for a number felt like a bit of a ripoff, compared to his curiosity, it was worth it. If he didn’t buy it, it would keep bugging him.
"Host, you are about to purchase the total value of the assets service, which will cost 100 million RMB. Please confirm," the system said.
"Confirm," Tang Qing said, feeling the pain.
After speaking and watching a hundred million deducted from his wallet, Tang Qing felt as if his heart was bleeding. He nagged, just earning about thirty million RMB daily from arbitrage, wouldn’t this an he had been working for nothing for three days?
Damn money-hungry system.
"Host, your total own assets amount to 9,556 billion RMB. Here’s a detailed breakdown.
Total personnel assets: 107 billion.
Total land assets: 39 billion.
Total mineral assets: 9,354 billion.
Total structural assets: 21 billion.
Total enterprise assets: 35 billion."
What Tang Qing got for his 100 million RMB purchase was not just so hastily provided numbers. There were more detailed classifications below, explaining in detail how these statistics were calculated. For instance, personnel assets included how many people there were in the territory and how many recognized his ruling power, accurate down to the last digit.
For mineral assets, it was precise down to the ton. To Tang Qing’s surprise, under that small track of land, lying within three kiloters underground, there were more than 2,100 tons of gold. This almost made Tang Qing so excited that he wanted to jump up on his feet and order soone to get it dug up imdiately.
For the enterprise assets category, it was even more comprehensive, even calculating yesterday’s new trash bin at the Sky Eye’s entrance. Tang Qing was befuddled.
After a rough look, he felt that he had got his money’s worth.
One hundred million.
It’s not that much of a loss.
Tang Qing kept swallowing his saliva.
Nearly a trillion RMB, this was too much, he felt like he was dreaming.
"System, are you sure there’s so much mineral deposits underground in Myanmar?" Tang Qing asked further. Even though he had complete faith, human nature couldn’t be changed; people like to confirm.
"This asset inventory is precisely accurate," the system said.
"Right, system, since you can provide such accurate statistics, do you have a map of the mineral distribution there?" Tang Qing suddenly realized that the system must know where the mines are. If he could buy that, it’d be even better. There’s no need to waste manpower on exploration, once the location is found, begin digging directly.
"Sorry, the system does not offer this service," the system answered.
"Darn it, system, you do have it but won’t sell it to ," complained Tang Qing.
With mines worth over nine hundred billion RMB, Tang Qing was itching to excavate them all. However, the system’s calculation was a bit unscientific, these were still unmined, adding them all up seed a bit too much and they couldn’t be imdiately converted into cash.
So, this couldn’t really be taken as a reference. The real assets should still be computed based on the recognized liquid assets, after considering the realization period, it doesn’t amount as much.
Tang Qing gradually cald down, rembering today’s most crucial matter.
"System, what is the auxiliary function of Level 5? Why can’t I find any new icons or anything?" Tang Qing searched the system interface for a long ti and didn’t find anything new, only several ugly icons.
"Host, the Level 5 auxiliary function allows you to buy industrial equipnt. It’s located in the Mall," the system replied.
Industrial equipnt?
Tang Qing frowned, this was a banking system, why involve industry and even open it as a subclass product in the mall.
But, taking no account of it right now.
He doesn’t know now certainly because he hasn’t thought about it.
The system and its designers couldn’t possibly forget the purpose of the system’s existence. There’s no point in him worrying about it.
Consequently, Tang Qing entered the mall.
Besides the weapons equipnt section, a new industrial equipnt section had been added.
Intrigued, he clicked on it.
Then, there were several subclass options.
tallurgical Industry Equipnt.
Power Industry Equipnt.
Textile Industry Equipnt.
dical Industry Equipnt.
Semiconductor Industry Equipnt.
....
There were generally twenty or so categories. Clicking on them would reveal various production lines for industrial products, with detailed information about the equipnt operation and the manufacturers. They are not system-made, and like weapons equipnt, they are all ’borrowed’.
The level of technological content varied greatly. Judging by the production years, the system had listed all the industrial equipnt from the ’80s till now among its sales list, hence, it was a bit ssy and very tiring to look at. Anyway, Tang Qing, a layman in this, was at a loss. It’s better to let others rack their brains.
There were no weapons production equipnt inside.
But, that was to be expected.
The weapons were already being sold separately. They could be exchanged, so why produce them?
And Tang Qing truly didn’t want weapons to appear there. After all, things bought from the mall could be brought out instantly, the production itself would require ti, manpower, transportation, raw materials, and so on. There was too much hassle involved, so at least in the short term, Tang Qing didn’t want to get involved in the military industry.
After looking at the whole range of equipnt sufficient to establish an entire industrial system from low-level to high-level, from raw materials to product assembly, Tang Qing gradually understood the system’s intention, or rather, he was not surprised. Just like what Tang Qing had thought about industrial layout earlier, it requires a large amount of investnt and ti, and is not necessarily successful.
All the assets controlled by each banker were countless. They firmly held over half of the social ans of production and production process and even the end sales, so they could have such a strong influence.
Real industry.
It’s a compulsory course for a banker.
Or to say, it’s an important pillar of ’financial power’.
Not to talk about far-off matters, just take the industry equipnt and raw materials in Myanmar that are currently controlled by Wangsa. The stuff sold by Wangsa to them might not be good things, they generally were phased-out products. What advanced equipnt could there be from a single Thailand?
He didn’t think so much before because there were no choices, only Wangsa was a partner.
Now, this new auxiliary function seems to be just in ti. It plays a decisive role in his upcoming ’Industrial Alliance Plan’, the developnt plan for Myanmar, and his future global industrial layout.
He plans to be a ’big villain’.
Either cooperate or sell your company to , otherwise, I’ll start a new company and challenge you. The industrial plan he’s designed is ant to create conflicts and not be a friendly industry for all.
That’s right.
It saves his R&D ti. Tang Qing also knew about the research area in the Combat Dispatch Center, that can only focus on a few specific things and couldn’t carry the research work of the whole industry.
