Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 994 - 101: Another Corner of the World

The world is vast, and the universe is wide, inevitably causing many joys and sorrows to remain unshared.

As the heart of the Federation, the Central Star Domain is prosperous and affluent. Due to economic abundance, people are more willing to extend kindness to those in need. This charity, born of wealth, acts like a lubricant, reducing friction and conflict.

"Unfortunately, the Star Domain we are in does not have this condition," a silver-gray-haired young man explained to his friend standing before him.

Behind him, the wall of the background panel was lined with various statistical data, accompanied by explanatory text and analysis. From the labels, it seemed to compare the Northwestern Star Domain and the Central Star Domain.

"As you can see, if the current economic trend continues, the economic gap between the Yongliu Star Domain and the Central Star Domain will only widen, and the population will continue to decline."

"It's a kind of slow demise."

"So, what do you want to do?" Another young man in the room sat in a chair, coldly watching his friend in front of him.

"You understand what I mean, Yade. We grew up together, with similar family backgrounds and many shared experiences. You understand how I feel." The silver-gray-haired young man adjusted his glasses.

"I hope to change this situation," he pressed his hand against the table.

"Moxun, how do you plan to change it? With protests and slogans? Those are just tools for politicians to put on a show and can't touch the core interests," he called out the other man's name.

"Of course, I have some ideas before discussing this with you." Moxun lightly adjusted his glasses, his gaze confident.

"You know, since I graduated, I've worked at the top giant enterprise 'Echo Valley' Asset Management Consulting Company. Over the past few years, I've understood a lot about the logic of capital operation and am now aware of the weaknesses of the Federal Central Council."

"The public believes that the Federation's economic policies are formulated based on the poverty of various regions or with noble intentions."

"But the truth is, many economic policies are made merely to satisfy and balance the interests of various parties."

"In today's world, where technological development has gradually slowed down, it's been a long time since new industries, new sectors, or new fields have brought impactful changes. Existing industries have gradually entered a stock environment. Simply put, if one eats more, another eats less."

"In the most common floating car industry, if the Federation's annual demand is about 10 billion vehicles, and Company A sells 6 billion vehicles, the other companies' sales must necessarily decrease by 6 billion vehicles."

"Currently, Companies A and B are competing against each other, initially, their strength and production capacity are similar. However, Company A is in the Central Star Domain, while Company B is in a remote Star Domain. Even if their costs are similar, Company A, being close to the political and commercial center in the Central Star Domain, can gain more policy biases and promotional resources."

"Apart from the Star Domains of Companies A and B, other Star Domains often lie hundreds or thousands of light-years away. The residents of these Star Domains have limited channels to understand information about other Star Domains. Most are not deeply embedded network users and don't have the time to sift through oceans of information for news irrelevant to their lives and work."

"Whoever can push their brand information in front of these Star Domain residents can capture their market share."

"And with the Central Star Domain naturally possessing cultural and political centers, it holds a promotional advantage in this regard."

"Over time, as you might have guessed, the inevitable result is that Company A secures successive victories in competition. They can also use the Central Star Domain's central position to more rapidly extend their influence into other untapped markets."

"With market share and profits, they can afford more substantial funding to improve and continue expanding to reduce costs."

"Thus, inevitably, Company A will gradually devour B Company's market entirely."

"Our current environment is just that; across the Northwestern Star Domain, they're made up of cheap, low-end industrial clusters. High-end, high-value-added industries invariably relocate to the Central Star Domain, eventually abandoning this land."

"If the wages of the core societal industries' personnel aren't high, then the wages and benefits of those providing food, entertainment, and services to these industry personnel won't be high either."

"This is the root of poverty in many Northwestern Star Domains."

"Then why haven't other Star Domains shown such evident situations? Though their economies aren't as prosperous as the Central Star Domain, they aren't universally impoverished either." Yade inquired.

"Why is that, Yade? You aren't quite aware, are you? Think back to the stories of our ancestors from our grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's generation," Moxun said, sliding the panel before him. The background wall changed to show new images, depicting the names of enterprises that faded into the past.

'White Curtain Union,''Ex-Dynamics,''Volcano Heavy Industries,''Rin Eagle Security Matrix,''Wash Snowbird,''Cuige Wind'...

These were the giant enterprises that once thrived in the Northwestern Star Domain, which held immense capital and power. They were, at one time, mainstream forces entrenched in the Federal Central Council. However, following the end of the civil war four hundred years ago, these enterprises were either dismantled, acquired, or had their patents confiscated, leading to their decline.

"During the civil war back then, the Federation was largely divided into eastern and western parts, and our Star Domain was the heartland of the defeated faction."
