I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 565 Nothing is more important than filling your stomach

The Barat people were met with great setbacks by Liu Fei.

He originally wanted to come here to trick Liu Fei, thinking that he would get hundreds of billions or even trillions of investment from Liu Fei no matter what.

Anyway, for them, any investment in their own territory is meat in their mouths.

As long as you can fool people, you will make a lot of money.

As a result, Liu Fei refused to listen and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

They also have to sigh that it is becoming increasingly difficult to fool people with pig-killing scams nowadays. After all, there are so many people who have been deceived.

The unhappy Barat people quickly officially announced the relevant news to the public.

The core of this is naturally the warp-speed spacecraft that Feiyun Technology has offered to build for 100 trillion rabbit gold.

A warp spaceship that costs 100 trillion rabbit gold.

This price is already astronomical.

It is not an astronomical figure for an individual, but it is also an astronomical figure for a region.

In the words of the Barat people: "Although we were prepared, we were still deeply shocked by this number. In front of the warp spacecraft, currency has lost its meaning!"

"We respect the value of technology and science, but Feiyun Technology is obviously insincere. Its offer is too expensive!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was boiling again.

In an ancient European manor, William, Steven, Constant and other knowledgeable people gathered together to discuss the matter.

"The news has been confirmed. The Barat people did make a special trip to Feiyun Technology yesterday."

"They want to go to Feiyun Technology to trick Liu Fei, hoping to exchange market for technology, and trick Liu Fei into transferring biotechnology, chip technology, wireless power transmission technology, controlled nuclear fusion technology, anti-gravity technology, etc. to them."

"In addition, I inquired about purchasing a warp-speed spacecraft."

William shared the latest news.

"Are they stupid or is Liu Fei stupid?"

“What kind of market can exchange for so much advanced technology?”

When Steven heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"They have always been like this. They don't recognize the reality and like to make empty promises and deceive people."

"This is not the point. The point is the price of the warp-speed spacecraft. Feiyun Technology is offering 100 trillion rabbit gold!"

Constant said.

"Yes, this is the point!"

"According to our reliable information, Feiyun Technology is currently building three warp spacecraft in the spacecraft factory outside Mars. Two of them are orders placed by their national team to Feiyun Technology."

"Based on the construction speed of the 'Zhengtu' spacecraft, these three warp spacecraft will be completed by the second half of next year."

"By then they will have four warp spaceships. No, to be precise, four warp space battleships!"

William nodded solemnly, and then the big screen behind him began to play photos they had taken of three warp spacecraft being built in outer space on Mars.

"By then, they will not only have enough warp spaceships to complete the 5000 million immigration plan, but they will also have extra warp spaceships to start re-exploring the interstellar universe. This also means that more planets with life will be discovered by them and then incorporated into their territory."

"If we don't catch up quickly, all the galaxies around our sun will be occupied by them in the future. Even if we can go to the interstellar universe in the future, we will face the embarrassing situation of being on a distant star journey."

As William finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

This time, William, Constant and Steven only invited truly knowledgeable people and elites to discuss this issue.

"There must be a reason why Feiyun Technology is asking 100 trillion rabbit gold for the warp spaceship. According to our scientists' estimate of the warp spaceship, the cost of Feiyun Technology to manufacture it is at least to trillion rabbit gold."

"The external sale price of 100 trillion rabbit gold is not excessive, and we did not make extra money. The main reason is that the number is too large, so it is impossible to make a huge profit."

Steven said.

If Liu Fei were present, he would definitely give them a thumbs up. After all, they are the ones who better understand the value of technology and what it means to do business.

If they had the technology of this warp spacecraft, their offer would be much better than Liu Fei's.

"If Feiyun Technology is willing to sell us a warp spaceship, can we take out 100 trillion rabbit gold?"

"I mean that we in the West should all contribute money to buy it."

Constant thought for a moment and said.

"100 trillion Rabbit Gold. According to Feiyun Technology's production speed, it can be completed in about 2 years. If we pay for it with 50 trillion Rabbit Gold a year, I don't think we can raise the money even if we add up together."

"Even if we don't eat or drink, we still can't come up with such a huge amount of money!"

"Besides, it's even a question whether they will sell it to us."

William shook his head and said, "So we must rely on our own strength to build a warp spaceship, otherwise we will never have a warp spaceship."

"Even if we build it ourselves, based on the cost, if we build a warp spacecraft and we have mastered the technology, we will need to prepare a huge fortune of at least 20 to 30 trillion rabbit gold."

"Although this number is much smaller than 100 trillion, it is still an astronomical figure and we need to tighten our belts to save it."

Steven thought for a moment and said.

William nodded and said, "So this is the focus of our meeting. We should think about how to get the money to build a warp spacecraft."

"If we continue on the path we are on now, we will never get out of the solar system."

“Perhaps we should learn and study from the people of Shenzhou and concentrate our efforts on doing great things.”

"But we don't have the technology or the funds, and we can't concentrate our efforts on big things right now. No one will agree to it. Everyone likes things that are beneficial, but everyone will oppose things that are not beneficial."

"We just spoiled them too much, so they gradually became like this."

"Working five days a week is not enough, I want to work four days a week and rest three days."

"Hourly wages are getting higher and higher, there are more and more requirements, but working hours are getting less and less. No one is creating wealth. How can we survive?"

"The wealth left over from the colonial era has been squandered over the years. The welfare benefits are too good, which has led to our current backwardness."

"This has led to our gradual deindustrialization, because it is becoming increasingly difficult for real industries to survive, and they can only be slowly transferred out. As a result, others are becoming stronger and richer, while we are in a vicious cycle."

"So, you're saying their opinions don't matter anymore?"

"Yes, for our long-term benefit, in order for us to be able to leave the solar system, we must make choices and must concentrate our efforts on major tasks."

"But what if they don't want to?"

"They will, because once they can't afford milk and bread, they will understand what is most important."

"Maybe that's the only way!"

William, Steven, Constant and others quickly discussed that an earth-shaking change was about to come.

They acted very quickly and relevant laws and regulations were quickly introduced.

The first point is that many restrictions on enterprises have been lifted, such as allowing overtime, no limit on working hours, abolishing the minimum hourly wage, canceling holidays, allowing enterprises to freely hire and lay off employees, etc.

As soon as these were released, they were immediately well received by entrepreneurs who had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Everyone talks about industrial relocation, but the fact is that they are never relocated voluntarily, but are forced.

The ever-increasing minimum hourly wage, the ever-shrinking working hours, the various ever-increasing benefits, restrictive rules and regulations, and so on.

These have forced industries with lower profits to be unable to survive, and they have been forced to continuously transfer industries to developing regions, which eventually turned into a phenomenon of industrial transfer.

Originally, they had a very good plan, to keep high-tech and high-tech industries with high profits and little pollution, to develop the financial industry, etc., so that they could make money and solve many problems.

But it turns out that without a foundation, a tall building will collapse.

Now that many restrictions on enterprises and industries have been lifted, these entrepreneurs are naturally cheering. In sharp contrast, ordinary people are extremely dissatisfied.

Everyone's life was already difficult, with fewer and fewer job opportunities, the unemployment rate remaining high, and people unable to make money and live the happy life they once had.

Now you black-hearted, greedy vampires are actually starting to cancel many benefits, including the minimum hourly wage, vacations, etc., and you are also asking us to extend our working hours.

Nima!

Quit it!
Everyone was angry.

Not only do they strongly oppose these newly introduced systems, but they also demand further increases in hourly wages, more benefits, shorter working hours, and so on.

There seems to be a tendency of confrontation between the two sides.

Neither of them had the intention to give in or compromise, and they would not give up until the other party agreed to their demands.

Obviously, this time, it seems that neither side has the intention to back down.

This unprecedented and massive live freeze has lasted from July to December, and there is still no sign of stopping. Neither side is willing to compromise or bow their heads.

December is winter in the northern hemisphere, and the earth is shrouded in cold.

Thomas woke up early in the morning.

There is no heating in the house, so this winter is particularly cold.

The reason there was no heating was, on the one hand, because Thomas's family had run out of money and he had been unemployed for not just a day or two, but for several years.

The family has been struggling to make ends meet for a long time, and has been living on previous savings in recent years, while also receiving some industrial relief funds or something.

Although the amount is getting smaller and smaller, coupled with the currency depreciation, it is better than nothing.

In addition to the lack of money, another problem is the chaos that has swept across all industries. The heating company has also stopped working and is simply unable to operate normally. Even if there is money, there is no heating being delivered.

"Cold! So cold!"

Thomas got up, boiled a pot of hot water for himself, and brewed some cheap tea from Africa.

In the past, their family drank Bharat tea, and they would add milk and sugar to the tea, but now they can only drink cheap tea from Africa, let alone milk and sugar.

After a few sips of hot tea, I felt warm all over.

"Honey, we are out of food at home. If this continues, we may starve to death."

His wife Laura also got up early and told Thomas about the situation at home again.

"I see!"

Thomas nodded, put on an old, slightly tattered down jacket, a windbreaker he had bought more than ten years ago, and a gentleman's hat, and hurried out.

As soon as he came outside, Thomas saw several frozen people on the street, which made Thomas stand there in a daze for a long time.

He was very glad that he had saved some money when he was working before. Not only did he pay off his mortgage, he also had no burden. Even if he was unemployed for a few years, he could still live in his own house and his family would not go hungry.

But others are different.

In this romantic country, in this age where consumption is paramount, only a few people have food in hand. The vast majority of people live paycheck to paycheck, or even live beyond their means, being advanced consumerists.

In the past, people could make a living by receiving welfare, relief, etc., and they could live well even if they did not work.

But now various welfare benefits have been cancelled one after another, with currency depreciation and soaring prices, life is very difficult for this kind of people.

Many people lost their houses and became homeless. When winter came, homeless people frozen to death could be seen everywhere.

"This can't go on like this!"

"We really can't go on like this."

Thomas couldn't help but say secretly.

"If this continues, I don't know how many people will die."

"I must find a job, even if the salary is very low, at least I have a job that can buy bread and milk for me and my family to fill our stomachs!"

Thomas is a relatively rational person with independent thinking ability.

This is also the reason why he was able to save money when he had a job before. He has always been against pre-consumption and excessive consumption and is more frugal.

At the same time, he is also clearly aware of the importance of work.

Work not only creates social wealth and brings income to oneself, but also makes society more stable.

Countless people like Thomas kept pouring out from every corner of the city, and everyone had a look of confusion on their face.

They have been on strike from July to December now, a full six months.

I originally thought that it would be the same as before, the crying child gets the milk, and as long as they keep going, they will eventually get what they want.

However, the reality is that until now, they have not obtained any of the results they wanted.

The situation is even getting worse and life is becoming more difficult.

Shrouded in the cold, there is no heating, it is freezing, and even the electricity and water supply often have problems. There are frequent water and power outages because the people from the power company and the water supply company are also holding activities.

Everyone's life is getting worse and worse, especially the prices of various daily necessities are rising rapidly.

Food is becoming more and more expensive, and more and more people can no longer afford bread.

On the streets, people gathered together and numbly followed the flow of people towards the center.

The shops on both sides of the street had long been raided, were dilapidated, and some were even burned black. Until now, no one has been managing these things.

There was nothing left to steal even if you wanted to. Everything was in chaos.

Thomas looked at everyone's expressions. Everyone was confused and worried about the future. Everyone wanted to go back to the past, back to the time when they could live a good life by working five days a week and six hours a day.

However, all this is simply impossible.

Everyone's life is becoming more and more difficult, and now everything is erupting at once in a concentrated manner.

Millions of people gathered from all corners of the city to the center of the city. Everyone gathered together, but they no longer had the energy to shout various slogans.

No one will pay attention to you even if you shout. Now you are in a state of complete chaos.

The huge square in the city center is filled with piles of garbage of all kinds, and the stench is still terrible even in winter.

The rich have already flown abroad for vacation early.

For them, no matter how chaotic it is, it will not affect their lives and they will continue to enjoy themselves.

For ordinary people, the more chaotic life is, the harder it is.

At this moment, Thomas has clearly realized this.

He has now gradually begun to believe many of the things said on television, in newspapers, in the news, and in the virtual world.

Wealth is created through labor.

If no one works, where will the wealth and welfare of society come from?
In the past, it could still barely survive by relying on first-mover advantage, technological advantages, etc., but now it has fallen behind, with all high-tech industries lagging behind and constantly going bankrupt, and even finance has been gradually transferred away.

Do you still want to live the same life as before? Is it possible?
Impossible! It's simply impossible.

Even if everyone achieves their goal this time, it will break out again soon, and each time it will be more ferocious than the last. In the end, it will be the same as it is now, and we must try to change.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. We have lived a good life for decades, and now we are asked to work hard just to earn a few lousy dollars?
Too many people quit.

Thomas slowly withdrew from the huge crowd and prepared to find a job. Even if the job required long hours and low salary, he would do it.

Because nothing is more important than filling your tummy!
