I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 390 The butt determines the head
"I object!"

"If private anti-gravity aircraft become popular, the whole world will be in chaos."

"This anti-gravity aircraft is flying around in the sky. It's not safe at all."

"They are both flying at hypersonic speeds. If they collide in the air, it would be like two super bombs. It would be fine in a deserted area, but if they explode over a city, how many people would die?"

"Have you ever thought about this question?"

In a solemn conference room, everyone was discussing heatedly whether private anti-gravity aircraft should be promoted and popularized. Liu Fei and Fu Chunxiong were among them.

However, Liu Fei and Fu Chunxiong never spoke, but just listened quietly to everyone's discussion.

There are many people who support the opening of private anti-gravity aircraft, including people from private anti-gravity aircraft-related industries, especially those in the automobile manufacturing industry.

Although the emergence of atomic matrix batteries has allowed the electric vehicle manufacturing industry to recover, it is still unrealistic to further develop and dominate the world.

In many places, oil is cheaper than water, but electricity is sporadic and very expensive, so these places still prefer to use oil cars.

In addition, many regions are restricting the entry of our products. If the electric vehicle industry wants to be truly invincible in the world, it must transform into producing small private anti-gravity aircraft.

This is the mainstream and development direction of future transportation!
Outside of the auto industry, the people most supportive of developing private anti-gravity aircraft are those in the Midwest.

These areas are relatively less developed, transportation in many places is far less developed than in the eastern coastal areas, and a large number of people go to the eastern coastal areas to work.

If private anti-gravity aircraft could be made available, the development of the Midwest would be just around the corner.

A large amount of low- and medium-end manufacturing in the eastern coastal areas can be moved to the central and western regions where labor and land prices are cheaper, and the development of industries in various regions will no longer be restricted by geography and transportation.

In addition, a large number of people can flow back to the central and western regions, driving the development of all aspects of the central and western regions. After all, with talents, everything is possible.

But it was precisely because of this that it encountered strong opposition from the eastern coastal areas.

Once private anti-gravity aircraft become widely popular, a large number of industries will move to the Midwest, which will definitely be detrimental to the development of the eastern coastal areas.

In addition, as a large number of people return to the central and western regions, there will be a large number of population outflows in the eastern coastal areas.

By then, housing prices will definitely collapse, and all kinds of things will be greatly affected.

Although people in these coastal areas usually look down on outsiders, calling them "beggar dogs from other places", "country people", "you are not welcome, go back", etc., they always look down on outsiders.

But if all the outsiders return to their hometowns, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the locals.

Not to mention the plummeting housing prices and shrinking assets, who will we rent the extra houses and shops to in the future?
In the future, the outsiders who sell vegetables in the shopping mall, the outsiders who open shops nearby, the outsiders who drive Didi and deliver food will all return to their hometowns, and everyone’s life will become very inconvenient.

Therefore, they are all very opposed to the promotion of private anti-gravity aircraft, because people in these places know very well that once the industry is more evenly distributed, the population will flow back to the Midwest.

The good times for the eastern coastal areas could not last forever.

This world is ultimately a human world. Without people, there is nothing. With people, there is everything.

"be opposed to!"

"Nowadays, cars can all achieve unmanned autonomous driving, and anti-gravity aircraft can also achieve unmanned automatic navigation flight."

“These are things that can be solved using technology.”

Those who support the release of private anti-gravity aircraft stood up and said: "Release of private anti-gravity aircraft is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It is a major event in the country's long-term development and planning."

"First of all, once private anti-gravity aircraft can be promoted and developed, it can create direct employment for at least 3000 million people, and can completely upgrade the current automobile manufacturing industry and make it more powerful."

"Combined with related industries, the anti-gravity aircraft manufacturing industry can create high-paying jobs for at least hundreds of millions of people, because this is the anti-gravity aircraft manufacturing industry, not an industry with low technical content such as producing clothes and shoes."

"The second anti-gravity aircraft can enable our country to truly implement balanced development, promote the rise and development of the central and western regions, make the industrial distribution more balanced, allow the population to return to the central and western regions, make the distribution of resources and population more balanced, and promote the balanced development of all parts of the country."

"Third, the promotion of anti-gravity aircraft can enable our country's industries to be truly global and have stronger global competitiveness."

"Just like our steel bars and cement can now be sold to the least developed regions, our products are no longer restricted by shipping and geography and can be easily shipped around the world."

"If private anti-gravity aircraft can be promoted and popularized in the future, we can be more competitive on a global scale."

"Oppose! Oppose!"

Before the other party finished speaking, those who opposed the promotion of anti-gravity aircraft stood up and expressed their views. "We should focus our efforts on developing some areas first and let some areas get rich first. This has always been our policy!"

"Once private anti-gravity aircraft become widespread, this policy will certainly become ineffective."

“And only when everything is centralized can there be efficiency, competition and standards.”

"You just said that once private anti-gravity aircraft are popularized, they will replace the automobile manufacturing industry, which will cause people related to the automobile manufacturing industry to lose their jobs and will also cause a devastating blow to related industries."

Liu Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard what the opponents said.

The opponents are obviously getting a little anxious.

Once anti-gravity aircraft are promoted on a large scale, all aspects of the eastern coastal areas will be like having their fuel source cut off, losing the source and driving force for subsequent development.

"You also know that we should make some areas and some people rich first, rather than letting these people and these areas become richer and richer while other places become poorer and poorer."

"Many eastern coastal areas are already comparable to the richest and most developed regions in the world. What more do you want?"

"Will you be satisfied only if people from other places come to the eastern coastal areas to work like you, slaves and servants, for generations to come?"

As they were talking, someone stood up angrily and started cursing at the opponents.

"Do you think that the development of your eastern coastal areas depends on your own hands?"

"Without us people from the Midwest, how can you develop?"

"Without the hard work of our people in the central and western regions who paid agricultural taxes and provided resources to support us, would you be where you are today?"

"Without the years of tightening our belts and giving priority to supporting the development of the eastern coastal areas, would you be able to enjoy the good life you have now?"

"Now that you are rich and developed, you not only look down on people from the Midwest, but also strongly oppose our development when we finally have the opportunity to promote the development of the Midwest."

"Even if all the resources in the country were given to you, you would still not be satisfied and would even think that you are so great."

The supporters were so angry that they were about to launch regional attacks.

"We're just discussing the matter at hand."

"It is indeed unsafe to promote private anti-gravity aircraft on a large scale. With tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of anti-gravity aircraft flying around in the sky, who can guarantee their safety?"

"Secondly, it will have a huge impact on the current automobile manufacturing industry, causing a large number of industrial workers to lose their jobs."

"Third, once private anti-gravity aircraft become popular, they will definitely bring about all kinds of new problems. For example, criminals will be able to escape the country very easily in the future."

"Fourth, we have worked hard for many years to build up the eastern coastal areas. This is why we have everything we have now. Once private anti-gravity aircraft are promoted, it means that all our previous construction will be demolished, and all our efforts will be wasted."

Opponents still expressed strong opposition, even though each of their reasons were untenable.

Liu Fei listened carefully.

In the past, Liu Fei did not have a deep understanding of the saying "the butt determines the head", but now, watching the two parties arguing fiercely, he truly understood this saying.

The promotion of anti-gravity aircraft is truly beneficial to the country and the people. It can truly promote balanced development across the country and truly break the limitations of geography and transportation.

Promoting balanced distribution of industries, promoting balanced development among regions, and making the distribution of population, industry and resources more balanced and reasonable will truly benefit the country and the people.

Moreover, the promotion and development of anti-gravity aircraft is also the trend and inevitability of historical development.

Even if it is not released now, it will be released sooner or later.

Yet the situation now is exactly the same as it was when the electric light first appeared.

When electric lights first appeared and were promoted, they were strongly opposed by the Gas Lighting Company in Britain. The Gas Lighting Company tried every means to protect its established monopoly position and its own interests.

As for whether electric lighting is more advanced, safer, brighter, or the future development trend than gas lighting, they are not considering it at all. They only want to protect their monopoly position and interests.

This is a typical case of the butt deciding the head!

Everyone knows the benefits of promoting private anti-gravity aircraft, but some people firmly oppose it and oppose the promotion and popularization of private anti-gravity aircraft because it will fundamentally damage the interests of these people.
