Yang Sheng is essentially a person who lives for the day. His biggest pursuit is a stable life. Besides, Emily will have to stay out for at least two more years before she can graduate. If she attracts too much attention, it will affect her life experience... Maybe she herself won't care about this.
But there is a saying that goes, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop..." Some things are not something he can avoid just because he wants to.
……
On the day of the speech or open class, perhaps because of Emily's great appeal, or perhaps simply because of Yang Sheng's own fame, the Double Day University Auditorium was almost full.
Yang Sheng prepared a manuscript of several thousand words in advance. He did not intend to talk about current affairs or anything like that. It was just some refined content on fitness and diet, which were relatively daily topics.
With the help of members of the martial arts club, the order in the venue was very good. In addition to teachers and students, Zheng Zhi and his wife Zhao Qing could be seen sitting in the seats below.
Many teachers and students at Shuangdan University know Yang Sheng, because the martial arts club now has a large-scale fitness activities on the playground. America has prison fitness or street and equipment-free fitness schools. According to this classification, Yang Sheng and the martial arts club promote the campus fitness school.
To this end, the school has also invested in a lot of public equipment. The content that Yang Sheng explained and taught in the martial arts club has been compiled and published. However, because it has just been put on the book market, sales statistics have not yet been compiled, and it is unknown what the market reaction will be.
At the beginning there is a relatively friendly interactive session, where people say hello to each other, and then there is the question-and-answer session. Generally speaking, even if this session is not arranged in advance, the people who get the microphone are all friendly people and will not ask embarrassing questions.
For example, a certain program asked Ai Daijin a question like "But aren't you American?"
I don’t know what the boy who got the microphone was thinking, but in this segment, he asked a question that seemed like it might embarrass Yang Sheng.
"Teacher Yang, as far as I know, you are not a citizen of your country, but hold an American passport. I would like to ask, why did you come all the way from an ideal country to develop in China?"
The previous questions were about how he met Emily, what color he liked, or what hobbies he had. Yang Sheng was originally smiling, but he was stunned for a moment. However, he had expected this kind of question to arise... Because in a community where the host is a good person and has a peaceful life, it is inevitable to be involved in such disputes. He hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Based on my knowledge structure and life experience, the domestic environment is more suitable for my life"
According to the procedure, each student who asked questions only had one question, but this boy did not hand over the microphone in his hand, but continued to ask:
"As far as I know, America's conditions are better than ours in all aspects. I don't know what kind of knowledge structure and life experience made Teacher Yang make this decision, but from what Teacher Yang said, it is definitely not something like patriotism. Can you tell us more about Teacher Yang's knowledge structure and life experience?"
Although Yang Sheng was not sure if he was here to cause trouble, he observed carefully.
He looked at him and saw that he and some students around him were wearing clothes with a unified logo. He guessed that the logo was not from any student club on campus, but more likely some NGO group that had infiltrated the campus. He then inadvertently made a few obscure casting movements, trying to sense the hostility... Although it was weak, these students did carry a hint of hostility.
"Although I didn't say anything before, but those high-quality programs endorsed by Emily have a stronger cultural and Chinese flavor, which made these idiots unhappy?"
"Indeed, even in modern times, there are still people clamoring that Chinese has completely become a Latin culture... not to mention the weirdo people who want European and American colonists to rule for another three to five hundred years."
"Speaking of which, Yang Bai's widow saw the opportunity early enough and asked the publisher to remove the ugly book "People of the Mysterious Country" from the shelves, otherwise she would also be relegated to the ranks of the rare and obscure..."
Yang Sheng's mind raced, and the conference hall fell silent within a few seconds. Other teachers and students could tell that this person had ill intentions, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Well then... I originally just wanted to talk about something more relaxing today. Since you asked me so sincerely, I will tell you about my personal knowledge structure and life experience."
There was a burst of laughter in the conference hall. Everyone could hear the sarcasm in Yang Sheng's words, except for the boy who asked the question, whose hand holding the microphone turned a little pale.
0083
Before officially starting his lecture (the bullshit), Yang Sheng glanced at the audience. Those who came to watch included students, teachers, international students, foreign teachers, and a few people from the society, such as Zheng Zhi and Zhao Qing, and maybe a few journalists.
There are probably both on-campus and off-campus ones. Shuangdan University has complete facilities, including a radio station and a TV station on campus. There are also camera crews at the venue.
He gestured to Laurie who came with him today. Although she was not as tacitly connected with him as Emily, she understood what he meant in seconds and threw her work iPad to him from 20 to 30 meters away.
Emily took advantage of the situation and made her hands into a megaphone shape and shouted, "I love you."
Yang Sheng couldn't help laughing, then he took the iPad in his hand. Many people in the conference hall also laughed knowingly.
Although the couple showed off their affection, the atmosphere suddenly lost its previous tension.
Following Yang Sheng's voice, it resounded throughout the venue:
“Before I formally introduce my knowledge structure and life experience, I would like to introduce my previous residence. Although it cannot prove everything, it can at least prove that I am qualified to introduce some of my personal cognition and insights to you.”
Yang Sheng did not bring his "mobile phone" with him, and was still exchanging mysterious data with the "map editor" at the "tiankeng base". After this process was completed, it would automatically return to Yang Sheng.
Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi's work equipment are products from another parallel world, which are very different from this world. However, after "I thought about it", they can also be connected to the Internet in this world, allowing Yang Sheng to remotely connect to the home server in the villa community, transfer some files from it, and display them on the large screen in the venue.
What is presented to everyone is a modern villa with a very avant-garde and beautiful shape even in this world.
It is a large villa with grass in the front and a swimming pool in the back.
Emily's three-story house is also the envy of everyone present, but when compared with the villa on the hill, it is so shabby and inconspicuous.
"Wow……"
There was a burst of surprised exclamations in the meeting hall, including the boy who asked the question, whose face was full of disbelief.
As Yang Sheng's fingers swiped on the Ipan, the images on the large screen behind him switched one by one. There were structural diagrams, renderings, panoramic views, and real-life indoor views. While Yang Sheng was looking at the images behind him, he was also experimenting with the operation methods and introduced:
"As you can see, this is where I lived before. Emily's house is next to it. As I said before, our two families are neighbors, and then we were accidentally captured by her."
At this point, Yang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he thought about the process of becoming Emily's boyfriend. There was also a lot of friendly or booing laughter in the venue, but most people were still amazed at the design and shape of the low mountain villa.
"Because it uses a lot of materials that are not available on the market, and there is a large underground space, the construction cost of this house is about 1500 million. Considering the land price and community value, the selling price of this house is about 5000 million. In the past, considering that American implemented a global strategic austerity policy and could not maintain the global monetary system, resulting in the currency depreciating several times, it may cost about 3 million now."
There was a sound of gasps in the conference hall, but the mysterious country was not a country bumpkin at this time, especially in Shanghai City, where high-rise apartments worth tens of millions were commonplace. It was just that compared with the surrounding living environment in Shanghai City, the low mountain villas looked more high-quality.
"This is just the construction cost and the selling price of the house. Of course, if it were now, with the economic downturn in the entire American continent, it would definitely not be worth 3 million. I personally estimate that it might be sold for around 5000 million, but I will not sell it. I just said 'just' at the beginning. I think the students and teachers who are doing this should all know that in places outside our country, real estate such as houses are taxed.
Yes, the annual tax rate where I live is about 2%, so even if I don’t live there, I still have to pay about 100 million in property taxes every year.”
There was another exclamation from the audience. For ordinary people, one million is an astronomical figure. For the wealthy people in the mysterious country who are not accustomed to paying property taxes, it is also a considerable amount of money.
What Yang Sheng was thinking was: Flower Country has disintegrated...Haha, even if I collect this money now, I will be collecting it from everyone as an official, haha...
He continued to introduce: "It's just the property tax, based on local business rules, also called the community owners' committee regulations, or other similar names, the abbreviation is HOA or POA, short for owners' committee. In our country, it is an organization formed by a group of residents, not even a street, but it is defined by law as an owner organization with certain legal enforcement powers, and the regulations in different places are different. They are only legally effective in this community. It has the right to collect property fees and organize some community activities. The person in charge is usually a more prestigious local person. In our place, the wives of two congressmen serve as the chief and deputy chief. Of course, after collecting the fees, they have to do something. For example, if the house is broken or the pipes are damaged, you can go to this committee for these things."
"The general rule where I live is that community residents have an obligation to maintain the local land value, or real estate value. So even if we're not there, the lights in the house have to stay on. We don't want people to see that it's pitch black, spooky, desolate and uninhabited, which would lower the real estate value here. So even if we're not there, the lights and other facilities in the house, such as water pipes and heating pipes, have to stay on and unobstructed. If there are no automatic devices, we have to hire a professional housekeeping company to maintain them."
"As you can see, my house is quite large, so I need to turn on about 30% of the lighting to meet the minimum standard. In addition to the house, the entire hill belongs to Emily and I, so we need to turn on a certain amount of hill lighting at night. High-power lighting consumes a lot of electricity. My family's electricity bill and other expenses are about 1.2 yuan a month. Emily's family's is less, but it's still about 3K."
Yang Sheng's inner thoughts were: Fortunately, I have [photovoltaic panels], so the electricity bill is really not that much. Otherwise, the annual electricity bill would be like Schwarzenegger's, heading for six or even seven figures.
But the audience, including the boy who asked the question earlier, were already gasping.
"That's impossible. Even if we convert it to a devalued currency, we will need 6000 and 1500 kWh of electricity per month."
"Didn't you hear what Teacher Yang said just now? We need to turn on high-power lights. This calculation might be about the same. If we turn on several or dozens of 1000-watt headlights,
“This is such a waste.”
Yang Sheng let the big screen behind him freeze the picture on a panoramic photo of a low mountain villa at night, with half of the mountain brightly lit. He placed his iPad on his abdomen with both hands, smiled and waited for the audience to prepare for a while before saying:
"I just heard a classmate say that it is a waste. In our opinion, it is indeed a waste. This is a difference in concepts, but it is a hard rule in the local area. As mentioned before, based on business rules, it is one of the necessary conditions to maintain the real estate value of the entire community... If students and teachers have studied abroad or consult teachers who have studied abroad, these are easy to verify. In addition, there are many regulations such as communities not allowing clothes and bed sheets to be hung out to dry. Therefore, in many cities, residents have to use high-power dryers to dry clothes and bedding. This machine is also a big power consumer. Our school should have many international students or diplomats from developed countries. As far as I know, their average household annual electricity consumption is between 2 and 3 degrees, and an average of about 2000 degrees per month."
When Yang Sheng said this, there was already an uncontrollable buzz of discussion in the audience. This was an unimaginable amount of power consumption for the people of the mysterious country. It was because this world did not have topics like Thunberg's environmental protection, otherwise the audience would have been in a mess.
The discussion began to focus on some European students in the audience. After receiving a positive answer, it gradually died down in an atmosphere that was unclear whether it was felt to be extravagant or envious.
Yang Sheng waited until the audience calmed down a little before speaking:
"I'm telling you all this not to show off my wealth or anything, but to explain some of the local customs and practices, and to explain that the community committee has the power to make such regulations, and if you want to live in this community, you must respect these regulations. As I said just now, the community committee has the power to perform some legal operations. If you don't comply with these community regulations, they have the power to auction your house, and then give you the money after deducting the handling fee, and then let you get out of the community."
After he finished speaking, there was another buzz of discussion from the audience. Although teachers and students who are interested in studying abroad or immigrating will learn about the community systems in European and American countries through many channels, neither the study abroad or immigration agencies nor the local tour guides will introduce these things to them.
However, Yang Sheng did not give the audience time to whisper to each other this time, and continued:
"It's not so bad where I live. There are too many rich people in the community, so many public welfare projects, such as community health and other matters that fall under the management of the property, are maintained by donations from the rich. No property fees are charged to ordinary residents. Of course, I
Emily's family and I are both wealthy people in the community. We both write checks to the community committee regularly, but I want to make it clear that this community is the size of a county, and except for me, there is no one of color in the family."
"Of course, it was not until the middle or even late Qing Dynasty that people from our mysterious country were classified as people of color in Europe. Before that, in their traditional concept, people from our mysterious country were white."
At this time, a white guy in the audience took the microphone, stood up and said in broken Chinese: "Yes, Mr. Yang, before I went abroad to study, I read church documents in St. Peter's Basilica. Before the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, the European world, including church people, generally believed that the East was an ideal country on earth."
Yang Sheng didn't expect that there would be international students to support him. He said "Wow" and "Thank you for this classmate's speech," and gestured for him to sit down.
However, the foreign student said something before sitting down.
"But the glory of the past is only the past. Some of my classmates and I are curious about what kind of profound knowledge structure and life experience Yang Xianseng had."
Yang Sheng smiled and said, "You will hear it."
He took a closer look at the foreign student and the boy who had asked the question earlier.
"To continue what I said before, I cannot reveal the exact location of where I live. It was by chance that I was able to live here. It's not like you can live here just because you have money. Compared to social status and personal property, blood ties and race are more important here. First of all, people of color, no matter how rich or how high your social status is, are naturally excluded from this community. If you go to an agency, the agency won't mention the houses here to you. Even if you take the initiative to ask for a place, they will politely but firmly reject you, unless you have a recommendation from a big shot who has a say here."
"This is the European and American style community isolation system. It is a test point. Please remember it carefully. I will mention it at the end of this speech."
With the previous preparation, what Yang Sheng said at this time was not difficult for the participants to accept, and the community system, or the community isolation system, was basically within the knowledge scope of most domestic university teachers and students.
……
Yang Sheng picked up his iPad and scrolled through it. After hearing the speech of the foreign student who seemed to be supporting the show but was actually sabotaging it, he also adjusted the content to be released next. After thinking for a while, he put a video on the big screen behind him and introduced it:
"The following video involves some personal privacy, so I will blur the faces of the people. And because it does not comply with the current online broadcasting regulations in our country, it can only be shown in this hall. I will not provide a way to download it afterwards."
After saying that, he walked some distance to the side, leaving the view.
The screen starts.
Although the faces are blurred, one can see that this is a scene of a confrontation with the police. In a corridor, several uniformed and armed PD officers and K9 officers with a police dog are confronting a person who is believed to be a woman behind the door.
The background conversation was in English, but this was Shuangdan University, so even if English was not good, all the participants could basically understand a few words. At worst, they could just whisper to their classmates or teachers and basically understand the content of the conversation.
The male voice should be Jing Yuan, who was repeatedly shouting at the woman, asking her to calm down and not be impulsive.
There are the date and the name of the scene in the upper right corner of the video, but for privacy reasons, they are censored and cannot be seen at all. Perhaps due to carelessness, even the date was censored, and no useful numbers can be seen.
This was not something Yang Sheng had brought over from the past or from a parallel universe. Rather, there was a period of time when he and the woman in his family were traveling through America, and they frequently communicated and exchanged ideas with the county bureaus passing by on the ground. He happened to have a piece of video footage from their database that he thought was useful, and the situation was very consistent with a case he knew.
The woman behind the door was very emotional. Instead of calming down after Officer Jing's shouting, she pulled the door and made an attacking gesture. The police officer outside tried to stop her but to no avail. He fired four shots at her with a pistol, but the buffer bullets had no effect. However, this action completely angered the woman. She screamed and stabbed Officer Jing in front of her with the sharp knife in her hand.
Then the picture freezes, but the background sound continues.
"Bang*7"*3...
At least three on-site personnel performed the classic emptying-magazine gesture.
Gunshots rang out on the big screen, and the scene was silent. Everyone was stunned. This was a celebrity speech that was common on campus, and it might have involved some unpleasant content, but no one expected to witness such a scene that was obviously captured by Jingfang's law enforcement camera. Group 6 9 4 9 3 6 1 3 5
Some excitement...
After a while, the freeze-frame image on the big screen was cancelled and returned to the original dormant desktop, and Yang Sheng's voice also sounded in the conference room.
"What you just saw happened in another high-end community. It was a real case of disrespecting the rules of the homeowners' committee. As I mentioned before, I have to protect some people's privacy, so I will not mention names and places. I will only inform you of some information that Jingfang has learned."
"First of all, this lady is a Chinese American, 42 years old, with a PhD in bioinformatics from Yale University. She works as a senior technical officer at a large biopharmaceutical company. The community where she lives, where her house is, is not that expensive, but it is also a very high-end community.
Before the devaluation of the currency, the price of 50 yuan could buy two three-story houses like Emily's in many places with poor land prices... We can see that the staff who came to her house were quite patient and restrained with her. Although it eventually led to a tragedy, the video we saw was actually a scene after they had been persuading her for 45 minutes."
"We mentioned before that in the American community, there are communities and homeowners committees that formulate some common rules for the community. No matter how outrageous it is, such as not allowing you to dry clothes outside or turn off the lights, you have to abide by it."
"In the high-end apartment complex where she lives, the owner's committee stipulates that a property fee of about 1 yuan is collected each year to maintain some external expenditures of the community. Let me explain here. I am not very clear about Europa, but in America, almost all the funds for local security bureaus do not come from the national unified financial allocation, but from local self-raised funds. To put it bluntly, it is a bit like a professional security company with a license and a badge. According to the fees paid by each community, the security forces paid by the security party are also correspondingly equal. That is, the high-end community pays the funds and will receive extra care from the security party, such as this 45-minute patient persuasion. Communities that do not have money to pay the funds will not receive the patronage and care of the security party unless a serious case occurs. Therefore, we know that the public security in many ordinary and civilian communities is quite poor... Hollywood movies almost never hide this point. Problems such as the proliferation of guns, crossfire, and blue independence almost all occur in such communities."
"Perhaps because of her inherent ideas, this woman did not pay the property management fees stipulated by the owners' committee after moving into this community, and she has been in arrears for three years. The cause of the incident is that the owners' committee felt it was troublesome and did not want to argue with her anymore, so they entrusted Jingfang to come to their house to inform them that they would go to court to initiate the auction procedure, auction her house, deduct the property management fees, return the remaining funds, and then let her leave this community."
"We have mentioned before that the owners' committee has every right to do so, even though private property is sacred and inviolable... haha."
At this point, Yang Sheng could not help laughing, but no one below had any idea what was so funny, including Zheng Zhi and Zhao Qing. The "Hell Jokes" notebook computer he provided did not contain any stories about the time when Da Mao was forced to become an invader, so they were all a little confused.
But a few international students and the boy who asked the question earlier all knew what he wanted to say, and they couldn't help but frown and look serious.
“Sorry, um…” Yang Sheng cleared his throat and continued, “The wind can come in, the rain can come in, but the king cannot come in. However, the owners’ committee does have the power under the legal framework of America… Due to the conflict of concepts, this tragedy happened. This is also a test point. I will also mention this after I have systematically introduced the knowledge structure and life insights. Please remember it.”
Upon hearing this, a few international students and the boy who asked the question were a little surprised. They originally thought that Yang Sheng would make a big fuss about this, but they didn't expect him to just briefly mention it and... let it go.

Yang Sheng's speech triggered a tsunami-level reaction on the Internet in just a few days.
However, apart from a few uneducated internet trolls who tried to attack Emily's social media accounts, she managed to win over most of them just by relying on her looks. There was no one with brains or pure businessmen who came forward to refute his point of view.
As for why he went to attack Emily's social media account, it was because apart from his previous ID LucasTheStorm, Yang Sheng did not register any new social media account on any website. Many internet trolls couldn't find a place to attack people, so they could only go to attack Emily. As a result... we can only say that SP or XP is the primary productive force.
Emily's blonde, blue-eyed looks are a natural deterrent to some knee-jerks.
As for those who have brains and are pure businessmen, first of all, they have brains, and secondly, no matter who they oppose, it is business. Yang Sheng’s views are basically irrefutable because they are all facts without emotions. Even the simplest multiple-choice questions, anyone with a normal brain will know what to choose.
Besides, these people also have to consider their own future and way out. The higher they climb in Europe and the United States, the more they can feel what Yang Sheng said.
Let's take the most obvious and simple example. Why is Aidan not active in America but returns to the mysterious country? It is because under the operating model of the European and American world analyzed by Yang Sheng, he has no chance to stand out. And he returns to the mysterious country to do his thing because it is profitable.
Now the most they can do is to be stubborn about things like "those are just analyses, not true" and "the European and American world doesn't really do that". But if they bring up things like the Indians, Tasmanians, the American's past war history, and the actual situations that Euken has suffered in recent years, it will be another series of old-fashioned wars of words.
