"Hello everyone, I am Xiaotong, a reporter from CBV Activision Team 6. Today is the last day of the year. I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year!"
On a crowded street, a reporter wearing a simple white short skirt and overalls smiled, bowed respectfully in front of the camera, and said a lot of blessings. At this time, behind the camera, suddenly ran
A man came over.
"Oppose exploitation, oppose..."
After the camera shook a few times, the TV program stopped immediately. Several staff members immediately pushed the man who came in front of the camera to the ground. The man was still struggling.
"You evil lackeys, lackeys!"
The man is still shouting. In the past month or so, a major event has happened in the city. Most companies have united to sue the Angus family, hoping that the Angus family will pay off the debts owed by these companies. Most companies
They are all construction companies, or material dealers, as well as some construction equipment manufacturers.
Although the case has been filed and the Department of Law has taken it over, the case is too involved and the circumstances are so serious that it requires investigation before a conclusion can be drawn, so the case has been adjourned. Businessmen all know that this is a matter of Congress.
strategy.
But in fact, some businessmen have begun to cut the wages of some workers, all of which are expounding a point. Because the Angus family owes them money, there is no settlement for the time being, and it is now difficult to operate, so they can only reduce the wages of the workers. Dissatisfied
The workers began to vent their emotions on the Angus family.
Violet has already stood up and said that the construction money, material money and other parts of the money owed to the merchants will be paid in full, and has told most people that now the Angus family as a whole
Being in debt, it is impossible to get money out, but most people still don't believe it.
There are always demonstrations on the streets where workers gather during their breaks, and the mutants are also becoming dissatisfied because the Angus family has been suspended for more than a month.
The voice of dissatisfaction is not only from the workers, but also from more office workers who are dissatisfied with the AI ​​network workers, which has caused unfair competition, and Congress has been very slow to grant quotas for those who have opened the AI ​​network. So far, there are only 270
Ten thousand users are already a very large group, and many people who cannot activate the AI ​​network and are still waiting in line are becoming increasingly dissatisfied.
A few days before the end of the year, another ugly incident of abusing prisoners and making money from prisoners was revealed in the prison. Congress has promised to investigate. Many people are questioning Section 11 about this matter, but Section 11 has never faced it head-on.
I have responded, and they all say it is a myth.
Today is the last day of this year, and the city has begun to fall into huge chaos again. Many voices from the bottom have begun to rise up. They are using the failure of the orchard plan as an excuse, hoping that Congress will allocate part of the planting farmland to the people at the bottom. Many people at the bottom
People are almost unable to live anymore. Some areas in some areas have become slums. The supply of water and electricity is a problem. The monthly income of most families is less than 300.
Consumption in cities has also begun to shrink rapidly. In the first half of the past year, taking the middle class as an example, consumption has shrunk by 55%. Most people have also noticed that this is related to the explosive growth of AI networks.
"Sir, may I ask how you plan to spend your time tomorrow?"
After Xiaotong resumed her interview on the street, she ran up to a young man with his head hunched, followed by a bulging AI incorporeal woman.
"How else can we survive? I can hardly afford to eat. I really don't know what the Congress is doing."
The young man said that the female incorporeal AI beside him made a scissor hand gesture and began to persuade him with a smile.
"Master, don't be discouraged. As long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to improve next month. Xiaomeng has made a consumption plan for you next month. Just pay back some money this month and I will help you plan accurately.
"
The young man ignored the reporter and smiled bitterly, but then nodded again.
"You have to help me plan well."
Xiaotong seemed a little embarrassed and hurriedly started interviewing other people. Many people on the street said that they would celebrate the New Year at home this year and would not go anywhere.
This year has been unbearable for many people. Many people have spent the whole year in worry. Consumption in the city has dropped sharply, and many companies that provide demand have experienced some problems.
More and more people are becoming unemployed, especially those who do not work using AI networks. Now some companies have begun to change their hiring standards. If you are not a user of AI networks, it is difficult to find a job.
The air in the city is filled with disturbing air. You can often see people throwing garbage in some alleys on the streets. Urban garbage has accumulated in many places.
After finishing her work, Xiaotong covered her nose. There was an unpleasant smell of garbage in the breeze. Although the garbage disposal port on the middle floor had covered almost all places, she still needed to pay a monthly garbage disposal fee.
Calculated to deal with the amount of garbage in the mouth, one kilogram of garbage costs 30 cents.
A family produces about 40 kilograms of garbage a month. It only costs more than ten yuan, but some people are no longer willing to pay. Originally, liquid food was only a best-seller at the bottom level, but now it has become a best-selling item in the middle-level food market. Sanlian
The company seized the opportunity and launched a large number of new flavors of liquid food to attract middle-class consumers.
A can of 1 yuan is enough for people with big appetites to fill up, and people with small appetites can eat two meals of liquid food. It has become a best-seller in middle-class areas. Some restaurants that used to only cost 3 to 5 yuan for a meal have begun to close.
.
There are always people who put garbage in bags and secretly throw it on the street. In the end, these garbage can only be handled by people from Section 5. The money can only be paid with part of the local tax. Many people who normally take out garbage can
People made dissatisfied sounds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the advent of consumption and unemployment, many higher-level education schools are in a hurry, and some schools have even announced their closure because they cannot recruit students.
However, the only thing that remains unchanged in all this is the upper class. The economy of the upper class is still stable. Restaurants that cost hundreds of yuan a meal are still doing brisk business every day. In those glamorous clothing stores, sales are still very good every day. Many new models even sell out as soon as they are put on the shelves.
Hot sales.
The most popular place every night is still Qinglong Street. This bustling street has never been depressed since the city was founded. More and more fresh faces with beautiful faces appear on Qinglong Street.
"Move faster girls!"
Ada sat in a convertible sports car and asked the beautiful little girls to get in the car. It was just 10 o'clock in the morning.
"I'll take you to have a good meal. There are many rich people coming to our store tonight. You have to serve me well. Remember to give me a good rest when you come back later. Tonight is not the best.
On New Year's Eve, you have to keep up your energy. I guarantee that the tips you will receive each night will not be less than 10,000 yuan."
The little girls got into Ada's car with excited chattering sounds. At this time, Ada saw Harrison talking and laughing with several doormen on the street not far away. Ada sighed and said contemptuously
He smiled and drove away in the car. At this time, a woman with disheveled hair ran out and knelt in front of the car.
"Please don't fire me, Queen Ada!"
The woman looked sallow and thin, and she appeared to be in great mental pain. Ada looked at the woman with her chin in her hands.
"You have no value anymore. Your turnover has been basically zero recently. The contract is signed in black and white. Get out! You are no longer needed here."
Ada said, and the little girls behind her smiled and made faces at the woman on the street. She looked despairing. At this time, Harrison ran over.
"Miss Ada, please don't extend your grace..."
The car started, Ada laughed and left without looking back. Harrison looked at the girl who was still squatting on the street crying. This is a scene that is often seen on Qinglong Street. These girls are
You spent your youth and energy here, and although many made money, most of the money actually went to the owners of these shops.
"I just bought a house. The old man at home has been sick recently. Harrison, please help me think of a solution. You know Queen Ada very well, don't you?"
Harrison hummed and could only agree first. The woman seemed to see hope. Harrison helped the girl up. Just as she was about to enter the store, a bunch of things were roughly thrown out by several bodyguards.
"get out!"
Harrison looked at the woman with some embarrassment, and the woman burst into tears again. At this time, several doormen came over to persuade Harrison, not to worry about this kind of thing, he couldn't control it.
Harrison watched the woman take something and disappear blankly into the alley across the street.
Having worked as a doorman on this street for so many years, Harrison knew the rules here very well. Old and lustful people would be kicked out quickly, as would women who were rejected by most customers. Many of them now go to 29
Harrison also went back to visit the area. It is now very strictly controlled. Women who go there will be recommended by the people in the business department to work on the farm, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan.
Most women couldn't accept it and started a small business in District 29, but many people secretly returned to their old business because District 29 is very close to the eastern agricultural base and the customer base is still sufficient.
Many men who have worked on the farm for a day want to have a drink and find a place to sleep. As long as a woman provokes them at this time, most men will obediently give up the money, even if it is their hard-earned money.
.
"It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Jean!"
Harrison smiled bitterly. He has now bought a house here and is doing quite well. In his free time, Harrison will also take on some craft work and help repair clocks in some wealthy homes.
After a while, Ada drove back. She looked around in panic, and then suddenly pulled Harrison over.
"If someone from the business department comes later, remember this, but don't say anything about me telling that woman to get out. Do you hear me clearly?"
Just when Harrison was confused, a management vehicle from Section 5 drove towards us. Several female staff came over and immediately held Ada down and handcuffed her.
"Sir, what law have I broken?"
"An employee of your store just committed suicide. We need to investigate."
Harrison watched more and more management vehicles coming over. Everyone felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Everyone was afraid of being dismissed and investigated because Alpha, the chief of Section 5, had already issued strict orders to rectify the security here. He went to the local regional section to
Officials and clerks colluded with some shops, and there were even cases where special envoy service girls were forced to death. Alpha has reiterated that as long as there is a death case in this place, all employees will be punished.
Officially, because of such extremely strict orders, people in Section 5 have paid more attention. Some store owners are even more afraid that if problems arise, their stores will not simply close down.
