"Such a big project is really life-threatening!"
"Yeah, I think it's pretty good now. What Congress is doing is a waste of money and people."
Just after 0 o'clock
In a restaurant on the middle floor, two slightly drunk men were talking about the underground engineering construction project announced by the city at the end of December a few days ago. The recruitment of workers has already begun, and construction will officially start on January 9 next year.
Two major events happened last year. One was that the Hillman family sold some of its medical properties to other businessmen. In the past, most people thought that antitrust laws were difficult to implement, but now they have actually started to do so.
, the medical prices for many diseases have been reduced a lot, which is a huge benefit to people in the entire city.
Another thing is the huge underground project in the city. The recruitment of workers for the project has begun, and Congress has listed everything in detail.
The standard wage for ordinary workers is 6 yuan an hour, and they work 8 hours a day. The excess is calculated as 1.5 times an hour, which is 9 yuan. Such a price attracts many workers. If they work 10 hours a day, a
You can earn 2,520 yuan per month. Excluding taxes and daily food expenses, you will actually have a net income of at least 2,000 yuan per month.
A large number of workers have signed contracts with Congress. The minimum contract is 5 years, and there are also 8-year and 10-year contracts. Different contracts also have different medical subsidies, as well as subsidies and compensation for industrial accidents. If you sign a 10-year contract,
When the contract expires, Congress will award a one-time sum of money. Calculated based on 360 days per year, at 10 yuan per day, you will receive 36,000 yuan after 10 years. This has exceeded the expectations of many workers.
36,000 can already buy a three-story, 100-square-meter building on the ground floor. Most of the workers have signed 10-year contracts, and some just plan to work for 5 years, save some money, and then change jobs.
All contracted workers will go to the local management office for training on the last three days of every month in the next year, and will receive some construction information and fill in a detailed job description. Do not overestimate the amount.
Fill in the form. If any discrepancy is found during the construction process and what can be done in the filled-in information will be deducted three times the basic salary for the day.
Mutant workers can get three times the salary of ordinary workers, and most of the mutants who originally worked as truck porters have basically signed up.
Many people feel that such a project will definitely affect the normal lives of many people, and Congress has repeatedly explained and stated that this is to build a semi-permanent underground transportation hub transportation system for the city.
Transportation network, logistics network, light and shadow material flow network, electric energy transmission network, water transportation network, garbage disposal network, and food waste treatment pools will be rolled out in 120 districts.
Locke said several times that the city will definitely be affected to a certain extent, but this is necessary for the city to develop better in the future. What the people are worried about is whether prices will fluctuate violently. This is not true.
Few people are worried.
But in November last year, Congress announced two relatively important technologies in agriculture, one is meat protein multiplication technology, and the other is crop growth technology. The former can increase the production of meat, eggs, and milk.
The latter can increase crop yields.
Among them, barley, wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, and beans can achieve a stable crop of five times a year, while other vegetable oils can be stable at around three to five crops a year. Most people are worried about whether such genetic foods will
It causes harm to the body, but Congress gave a clear answer. The harm is there. Under the current medical conditions, such harm can almost be ignored.
Many people have realized why the prices of some foods have dropped a lot, but the prices of processed foods have basically remained unchanged.
An uneasy feeling permeates the city. This uneasiness stems from the unknown. No one knows what kind of impact most people's lives will have after the start of this huge construction.
Even though Congress has repeatedly stated that it has gone through long-term studies and detailed planning and there will be no problems, such rhetoric cannot calm the uneasy mood.
"The next era begins at Duke!"
Hu Youran was holding the wine glass in his hand. Nowadays, he is a frequent guest on many programs. His economic expectations have made him a famous economist in the city.
"You really got it right, Lao Hu. Although we see some things, it's better not to say anything."
The two had discussed some phenomena in the city a few years ago, and these matters were ultimately related to the implementation of the antitrust law.
Many people only see the changes on the surface, but they don't know that these changes involve all walks of life. The changes are not just in the medical field. Since February last year, Hu Youran and Duke began to collect a large number of data.
The regional tax data in the city traveled to many places, and many of the changes were shocking.
This is a precursor to the real implementation of the anti-monopoly law. In order to create an economic market with healthy competition, anti-monopoly is necessary and necessary. It is also a means to balance the urban economy.
In today's era of fully open lighting and shadow technology, we are no longer as passive as in the past era of open technology. In these few short years, it can be described as changing with each passing day, and no new technology has emerged.
Hu Youran raised a glass and drank with Duke. Both of them were a little drunk.
"Duke, what do you think started appearing first!"
The deceiver asked seriously, and Duke sighed.
“Financial system!”
Hu Youran nodded. It seemed that Duke also understood that for such a huge underground project, even if it has been saved for so many years, in order to prevent the inflation from destroying the originally good economic market, the only way is to stabilize the price.
Stable tax revenue and various savings were continuously collected, and everything was operated in a planned manner by the gods. It was almost perfect that when the times changed, no large-scale riots occurred.
But no matter what we do, there is still no way to stabilize purchasing power. Market rules cannot allow it to remain stable as before when supply and demand are unbalanced.
As people's incomes increase, their purchasing power will be greatly enhanced. However, demand may exceed supply in the city, and prices will definitely rise. This cannot be controlled by humans or by law. The premium of products will definitely increase.
Find your own breakthrough.
In the process of laying urban underground projects, all walks of life will be affected by the construction. The city is facing an unprecedented reshuffle. Although many people have felt it, they cannot completely understand it.
Hu Youran has read in detail the underground construction plan announced by the Congress, as well as a series of things such as the public technology corresponding to the plan. If allowed, this construction project will only take 5 years to complete at most, but this will not be enough for the public.
The harm of the market economy is huge.
Hu Youran quietly stared at some live programs being broadcast on the TV. Many people from the National Management Committee were invited to appear on the TV. They all used various rhetoric to explain the many benefits, but Hu Youran knew very well.
This bill is very dangerous.
This year the urban population exceeded 19 million, and Hu Youran estimated that the population should have exceeded 20 million by now, because there are still more than 1 million illegal households.
Too high-speed construction will damage a good market, but the gods decided to use 10 years to build it. It has been planned to minimize the impact on the market, but it requires people from the entire city to do this.
Paying the bills for mega construction.
Today, there are less than 10 million people working. The remaining 10 million elderly people and newly born or school-going children account for 80%. 5% are sick and disabled, and 13% rely on crime to make a living.
And some black households, and 2% are women from the upper class who don't have to work at all.
Within ten years, half of the non-working population will probably gradually reach a conversion rate of 60%, and the urban working population will rise to about 15 million. This will just be able to offset the impact of prices on the city, and the city will begin to develop rapidly again, and
The population will continue to grow.
Once the construction is completed, the city will usher in a more developed society. These ten years will be extremely difficult for the city.
Hu Youran doesn't like this approach very much. The population will begin to enter a state of control in 10 years, because the current maternity subsidy has been reduced by several hundred yuan in this year's adjustment, but this amount will continue to decrease.
Until there is no maternity subsidy, the population will be contained at a constant value, and then the city will enter rapid development for half a century.
The city lights that guide countless people into a new era are very scary. Everyone who sees the lights is like a moth in the dark, and will desperately rush towards the lights to fuel the flames.
Underneath the lights is the bloody fact. No one has seen this. This is what Hu Youran is most worried about. If everything goes well, the future may not be too bad, but if something goes wrong, the whole city will...
Like a boiling furnace.
All this is because human lifespan has been extended, and the entire society will accumulate more powerful energy.
"You just worry too much, Old Hu. Since the gods can do all this step by step, they have naturally considered how to deal with risks and emergencies. No matter how the times change, the one thing that remains unchanged is always
People’s hearts!”

On a street called Gold, lights are on in a long, five-story building that was built in October last year.
There are a large number of financial companies on this street that is more than 2 kilometers long. Currently, most of the bank's affairs are handled in this building dedicated to special management officers.
In a conference room, Jin Mian and Vivian led a large number of board members to deal with matters in the 7 departments and review the situation of banks in various places.
There were certain problems in the accounts of many banks. Everyone in the room stared at the light and shadow screen solemnly.
"Do you really want to do this?"
Vivian asked in a serious tone, and Jin Mangan nodded.
"There is no way. 30% of the people in the city still use the financial system provided by the Hillman family. If the money is not controlled, it will be very difficult for the upcoming construction."
The two of them quietly looked at some files in the Hillman family's mobile payment network system. Previously, because the Hillman family began to charge a certain amount of handling fees and management fees, most people and merchants abandoned mobile payment, but now.
After the Hillman family sold some assets in the medical industry last year, a large number of people returned to online mobile payment because of the high interest rates offered by the Hillman family. The reality is far more than 30%, because this number is still
rising.
Banks lost their advantage because they were unable to carry out any commercial activities. They had no interest on deposits, but only interest on loans. The Hillman family launched many short-term interest-free loans, and a large number of citizens returned to online mobile payments.
go.
Recently, a large number of savers have withdrawn their funds from banks and deposited them into the Hillman family's online mobile payment company.
Jin Mian and Vivian were troubled by this. The people in Section 7 had discussed it a long time ago. Once the Business Section was established, there would be no physical cash in the city. They would no longer be a bank, but a third party.
To be continued...
