The arrival of a new era has only been a little over half a year now.
Every time I return to the ancient city, even if the road is safe, I will sigh that everything in front of me has changed so fast...
"This is no longer the 1998 I remember..."
The influx of a large number of visitors from outside the country brought new technologies, new ideas and even new toys. Lu Ping'an's experience was not a special case. The traffic police brigade that had just stepped out was already full of strange gadgets.
"The world is changing too fast, and the laws and local people's concepts have not yet caught up..."
Along the way, Lu Ping'an has seen shopkeepers on the roadside more than once, shook his head at the "alien" seeking employment, and dealt with countless related disputes.
Some of them want to pay debts to get goods (get food), and some of them want to find a job first, but let alone local professional qualifications and skills licenses, most of them can't even speak the local language well.
"Hello", "Give me a job", "Borrow some money", these extremely simple Dongguo "words" are what they say the most and are also the most likely to cause disputes.
To be honest, at the beginning, local businesses and factories welcomed these laborers, especially since they did not need to pay social security and medical insurance, and their basic wages were directly cut in half.
But soon, they had various problems and disputes... There were too many and complicated problems, but in general, the labor capacity was low and there were too many problems.
This is actually not their problem. It is that the "talents" cultivated by the country's education system are naturally in line with the needs of local society and companies, while the "labor force" of other countries cannot even pass the language barrier, let alone local enterprises and commercial units.
Basic knowledge is required.
Manual work? When the labor force is overflowing, it is actually the most vulnerable position to overflow, and the involution is serious, which has caused a lot of disputes.
Anyone can do the work, allowing those "outsiders" to compete with each other, and even form gangs... This is similar to the dock gang, the water transportation gang, etc., and its existence itself means the genesis of trouble.
After they really formed a group, in addition to forming a group and demanding higher pay and better treatment from the "local boss", they often accidentally went wrong and became real gangsters and gangs, involved in illegal transactions and crimes.
....
"Hey, how are you? How are you doing lately?"
When Lu Ping'an returned to the police station, the familiar people welcomed him with "You still know how to come" eyes... The others had already returned to the team, but he had been "playing in the wild".
"It's not good at all. The criminal crime rate has increased by 362%, and various disputes have increased at least ten times. We are working overtime every day... Welcome to the overtime hell."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but click his tongue. He estimated that the situation was very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
Currently, what the ancient city is facing is the overflow of pure manual labor and the shortage of high value-added labor. What is even worse is that if it cannot be alleviated in the short term, those young and powerful... no, intelligent creatures with hands and feet,
Everyone will "fight for survival". At that time, the situation will inevitably deteriorate.
Moreover, the quality of the first batch of "immigrants" is actually not bad. Those who can get ferry tickets or "quotas" are themselves the result of being selected, but society cannot provide positions suitable for their abilities...
.This is similar to the dilemma where a large number of postgraduate students have graduated, and all the jobs in the society that serve the dishes are those with Ph.D.s competing for them.
They are still waiting and watching and exercising restraint, but once they take a step... they can't stop.
When outstanding talents go astray, the social destructiveness will be even greater, and beasts that have tasted blood may not return to their cages honestly.
The official "demographic dividend illegal operation" of the ancient city has ushered in a crisis.
"No wonder Wang Xier is already working hard to build a factory and recruit people..."
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an also vaguely understood their difficulties.
In fact, their factories are still under construction, and their technology is still in the process of localization... Even if the top experts work hard, it will take a long time for a complex and mature exotic creation to be completely localized.
There are three major problems: materials, technical theory, and industrial mass production.
Now, it seems that they have reached the last step of mass production technology. I heard that it can be completed in as soon as a month... And they recruited people from the very beginning, and they have been recruiting people now.
They are probably also rushing to seize the market with "exotic cars" as soon as the new traffic law is released, so that their loans can be repaid.
"Well, let's put it this way, should I go to the development zone and report to my 'superior'... Forget it, it seems they need me more here."
Along the way, Lu Pingan discovered that the situation in his "hometown" was also quite delicate.
In the final analysis, this is actually the fault of the city leaders' "leap forward" and "crossing the line". They used a set of rhetoric to break through the original upper limit of "a single ethnic group can settle in one city at most 50,000" and came up with "one ethnic group".
Plus One Mode", the paper data reached 80,000.
Why is it on paper? The real data Lu Pingan obtained from Wang Xier was actually 120,000.
These are just immigrants, the best quality immigrants... But no matter how high quality they are, they still need to eat.
The original resources could not be exchanged for local wealth. Due to various involutions, Lu Ping'an had knocked out two phosphorus spreading gangs in one day.
They need time to adapt to local conditions and basic conditions to develop their talents, but the reality of excessive involution and the "leap forward" of local officials have caused them to lose the opportunity for stable development in the early stages.
Lu Ping'an didn't want to go to the "development zone" because in a sense it was a large refugee camp. Over 70,000 people were crammed into a small development zone...
In the face of the new population, the original "promise" has become a joke.
Just supplying the daily necessities of those people is a headache for the ancient city, a city with a population of one million, not to mention that those directly responsible (the ones who take the blame) are still the group of people in the development zone... after obtaining
At the moment when it has independent development rights, the ancient city officials also lack the motivation and responsibility to directly govern.
Obviously, if some people can't sit still, they will go out to make a living on their own, and being an "autoworker" is not a good job, especially since many people have a high social status in their original country.
Now, before the "car factory" is turned into a business, the development zone only spends money to support people, and naturally it cannot provide much remuneration and treatment.
Maybe, after the car factory is put into production, it will be better...
"Tsk, a bunch of gamblers, haven't they considered the consequences of losing the bet?"
In Lu Ping'an's mind, the defeat of "Auto City" was a terrible disaster.
The upstream and downstream automobile industry can generate massive employment, but once it collapses, a large number of "industrial workers and families" lose everything overnight.
Too many people in the entire city rely on cars and their ancillary industries for a living. Once it collapses, all industries in the entire city except the population will collapse.
The labor force that has lost their "income" and "life" will "fend for themselves", and the entire city will gradually fall into a "city of sin".
The ancient city is even more exaggerated. It has not yet built an automobile industry, but it has attracted an excessive number of "industrial workers"!
Now the whole city is betting wildly, betting that this project will succeed. If it really fails...the floating population who are "tied" to the development zone will flood into the whole city to make a living on their own.
Under normal circumstances, it is possible to succeed in entrepreneurship and development. The main thing is to digest it slowly. Their talents and resources are also nutrients for the growth of the city.
But now, if they all join the pot, they will only become mincemeat in the "meat grinder".
"I hope they can succeed, I hope the car sells well..." Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an also felt numb. If it really got to that point, he actually had no choice.
He sincerely hopes that the bet between the authorities and the phosphorus spreaders will win, that their "cars" will sell well, and that the current period of chaos will pass quickly.
The number of outsiders overflowing has grown too fast and has caused serious social chaos. This is just a large number... There are also many "disaster victims" from other worlds. Without restrictions, they are not in their hometowns. The lower limit is
lower.
Lu Pingping dealt with a lot of people who spread phosphorus, but there were even more people whose race he couldn't identify.
"...Everyone, don't be merciful. Some of them are pitiful, but our responsibility is to protect this city and the citizens with ID cards...
"
In the official communication, the leaders of the police station and the special service team made it very clear.
As a "policeman", there are certain things you must do.
And this naturally became the reason why Lu Ping'an was forced to work overtime.
