"One hundred billion credits!"
In the past year alone, the entire GDP of Sky City reached a full one hundred billion credits. A population of just over three million had generated one hundred billion credits in wealth. One must realize that back in '66, the entire GDP of Eagle Country was only a little over eight hundred billion. Eagle Country was one of the two most powerful nations on Blue Star, boasting a population of over one hundred million and a land area of several million square kilometers.
And yet, look at Sky City! Its population was in the millions—not even a fraction of Eagle Country's—and its territory was hundreds of times smaller. However, as a hub of free trade, Sky City enjoyed many preferential policies. Coupled with the powerful manufacturing capabilities Chen Feng possessed, the entire region of Heizhou served as his market for dumping products. A market of hundreds of millions of people is not easy to seize.
