Chapter 447: 323. Technology is in the hands of civilization_3

"Even if they fully develop their industries, it will take at least fifteen years to catch up with Great Xia, but unfortunately, the calamities will not give them enough time.

"This is not just my conclusion, but a result reached by a large number of professionals from the Lan shi Kingdom, after three months of evaluation."

Fox was silent for a few seconds and then asked a question: "Old man, according to you, are white people destined to be trampled under the feet of the Great Xia People?"

McMallaman spoke bluntly: "Yes! Every empire has a lifespan, and the white empire is about to end!"

Fox found it hard to accept: "That’s impossible!"

McMallaman said unceremoniously: "When your daughter grows up, she should be more willing to marry a Xia person, rather than a white person like you."

The old man’s youngest son was unmarried, and this granddaughter was an "unexpected" outcome.

Fox gritted his teeth: "You’re talking nonsense!"

The father and son glared at each other, almost on the verge of a quarrel.

At this moment.

The television screen changed.

The previous footage was showing the changes in various cities of Great Xia during the Age of Calamity.

Now it returned to the studio of the New Year’s Eve special program.

The pleasant voice of a beautiful female host flowed out from the speakers: "Dear viewers, this New Year’s Eve special program is about to reveal the first New Year’s gift for the entire nation."

In previous years, on this day of New Year’s Eve, the national TV station would have a large gala starting from 8 PM and lasting until the new year.

This year, the New Year’s Eve gala was unprecedentedly canceled, replaced by a live broadcast lasting from 8 AM to 8 PM on New Year’s Day, spanning a full thirty-six hours.

The officials had announced in advance that surprises would be distributed to the people nationwide during the live broadcast at irregular intervals.

This is why McMallaman turned on the TV early in the morning.

The male host next to her said loudly: "The Supreme Governance Team has decided to give Pioneer Alliance stocks to the entire nation, and every citizen with a Great Xia National ID can receive 20 shares."

Great Xia has 1.8 billion people, 20 shares per person means 36 billion shares.

This is definitely a grand gesture.

In contrast, when the Pioneer Alliance first issued shares worldwide, it only issued 25 billion shares.

Fox couldn’t help but say, "Sh*t!"

McMallaman asked a question: "What is the current price of Pioneer Alliance’s stock?"

Fox replied: "I checked yesterday, it has risen to 245 Xia Yuan, 170 Xia Yuan higher than when it was first issued."

McMallaman nodded: "That means each Great Xia person is being given almost 5000 Xia Yuan, Great Xia is very generous!"

The old man wasn’t too clear about stocks and asked again with interest: "How does Great Xia have so many shares?"

Fox answered: "The total share capital of the Pioneer Alliance is 500 billion shares, with only 25 billion shares publicly issued, accounting for 5% of the total share capital."

McMallaman glanced at his son: "You must have bought quite a few shares when they were first issued, right?"

Fox had to admit: "Yes, I did."

McMallaman continued to ask: "You lost a lot, didn’t you?"

Fox didn’t speak.

But his expression already said it all. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

McMallaman wasn’t surprised at all, his youngest son didn’t like Great Xia at all and lacked confidence in it, losing money was expected.

The old man commented again: "Great Xia truly shared the wealth gained from pioneering the Otherworld with the Great Xia people."

Fox had a different opinion: "Last year, the Lan shi Kingdom also distributed money to all Lan shi people, each receiving 1000 pounds."

McMallaman scoffed: "Now, material goods are the real hard currency, what the Lan shi Kingdom distributed is just waste paper.

"After just a month, Lan shi’s currency depreciated significantly, becoming a laughing stock, do you see the Lan shi Kingdom daring to distribute money now?

"The same goes for the Carmenia Federation, they probably don’t dare to distribute money either, because the resources in Carmenia are also insufficient.

"Pioneer Alliance’s stocks are more valuable than money. Now, 20 shares are only worth 5000 Xia Yuan, maybe in a few months they’ll be worth 10,000 Xia Yuan."

Fox was left speechless.

McMallaman continued: "Great Xia’s high-level truly treats civilians well, whereas the high-levels of Carmenia Federation and Lan shi Kingdom are all ruthless bandits.

"Anyone with common sense can see where ordinary people can live longer, so now Great Xia is the country that people from other countries most want to immigrate to."

The old man looked at his son: "I went to great lengths to secure our family’s safety by bringing you all to Great Xia, but you, fool, don’t understand my efforts."

Rarely, Fox did not retort.
