Chapter 490: Strong Medicine
Red River Delta Plain.
This once densely populated area had a population of 23 million at its peak, but now only has about 12.47 million people left.
The local real estate market, which was in dire straits, has completely collapsed. Pigeon cages that used to take 20 to 30 years to buy are now ignored even at a 10% discount.
The situation in the Red River Delta Plain is also happening in several other delta plains in Asia.
Population plummeted, real estate collapsed, and the consumer market continued to shrink.
After losing the support of a large number of ordinary people, the urban middle class quickly fell into a wave of bankruptcy, which in turn accelerated the scale of people going to work for Homo sapiens companies, triggering a vicious cycle.
In order to save the population, the masters had to make painful cuts.
The first year of Xinghe, December 22nd.
Saigon, Hanoi, Tokyu and other populous cities in Asia have adjusted their minimum wage standards, and the minimum monthly salary has soared to US$2,000, entering the developed regions overnight.
At the same time, the prices of fuel, electricity, water and food have also been lowered.
Cheap oil and natural gas from Russia, cheap iron ore and wheat from Oceania, and cheap pork, beef and chicken from North America.
The import of these cheap goods quickly lowered local prices.
At the same time, a large amount of taxes were levied on the rich. This time, the four major forces joined forces, and the previous method of transferring assets overseas was no longer effective.
After all, the four major forces have already taken over most of the core areas of the entire free world, and the rich have no way to transfer their property to the Sapiens company.
As for the small shrimps in Africa and Latin America, the rich people dare not go there. Even if they go, do they really think that the four major forces are vegetarians?
The four major forces said: Don’t think that just because we can’t defeat the Homo Sapiens Company, we can’t deal with you fat pigs.
Especially in America, the City on the Hill Council ordered its accounting firms, tax companies, the Federal Reserve and major banks to attack with all their might and cooperate with the other three major forces.
The four major forces are determined to collect the money from the rich. If they don't collect the money from the rich, will they exploit the ordinary people? How can those poor people have money? Ordinary people are now barefoot and are not afraid of those wearing shoes. At worst, they can find a way to run away.
Therefore, the four major forces are very clear that if they want to cut off ties, they will cut off the rich, because these rich people will definitely not be able to escape anyway.
After all, these wealthy people now have three choices:
First, give up everything and go to work as an ordinary worker at the Zhiren Company.
Second, they can hand over 95% of their assets and still stay in the local area to do whatever they want.
Third, he committed suicide by shooting himself seven times in the back, and then donated all his assets to charity.
Make your choice!
Don't say I didn't give you a chance.
The free world has supported you for decades. Now it is your turn to repay the free world. I hope you will not be ungrateful.
Obviously, most of the wealthy are afraid of death and are reluctant to part with their bottles and jars, so they grit their teeth and hand over 95% of their assets, and also have to accept high tax rates in the future.
After getting such a huge amount of assets, the bosses of the four major forces finally restrained their greed this time and took out most of it to improve the living standards of ordinary people.
therefore.
Now a spectacle can be seen.
That is, areas like the Red River Delta Plain became developed regions almost overnight.
South Korea and Japan are no longer inward-looking.
On the one hand, their population was only 50-60% left at that time, leaving a large amount of resources free.
On the other hand, the chaebols and bosses have found their conscience and are trying hard to force welfare and wages on ordinary people, and even directly give them land and houses.
He almost knelt down, hugged the ordinary person's thigh and said: Please don't leave.
Under coercion and inducement, ordinary people who were content with the status quo stayed.
The four major forces took drastic measures and finally managed to stop the trend of further population loss.
Of course, this was only a barely sufficient stop.
After all, Sapiens still has some advantages, such as education and medical care, which is difficult for the four major forces to catch up.
This is also a headache for all major forces right now.
In order to counter the increasingly powerful technology of Sapiens, they certainly can't continue to play the game of happy education, but must increase the proportion of elite education.
However, elite education is a very anti-human education. Children are also human beings and they also hope to be worry-free.
America has gone to extreme lengths in this regard. They directly use brainwashing and elite education, strictly prohibiting young people from accessing any content related to Sapiens, and completely locking these young people in an information cocoon.
After all, they don’t have the biochips of Sapiens, so there is no way to make students learn quickly, so they can only resort to information isolation and brainwashing.
As for Sapiens' advantages in medical care.
At this stage, all major forces can only adopt free medical care. Even private hospitals are included in the free medical care system. The purpose is to improve the efficiency of various medical services.
The previous free medical care for hemiplegia could definitely not continue.
Otherwise, patients will have to wait in line for months to see a doctor. How can we talk about a good life then?
It is very easy to see a doctor at the hospital run by the Zhiren Company. The fees are very low and the service attitude is good.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that most of the employees of the Homo Sapiens Company are new humans, and many of them basically do not get sick.
Therefore, hospitals do not have to worry about staff shortages at all. It is common for dozens of doctors and nurses to see one patient.
Due to the continuous decrease in the number of patients, the medical division of Sapiens now has to adjust the operations of various hospitals. Many doctors and nurses have begun to turn to the field of scientific research and merged the hospital and the biomedical research institute into one.
The major forces were forced into a corner and had no choice but to desperately increase the income of medical staff, increase the number of medical staff, and implement free medical care to counter the medical advantages of Homo Sapiens.
The advantages of Sapiens Company are still obvious now, and there are still many people willing to work for it.
It’s just that there isn’t as crazy an influx as before.
After all, the welfare levels of major forces have also improved, and many people feel that they can live a very comfortable life in their hometown, so they naturally have less intention of going to work for the Zhiren Company.
As for why America and the European Union are willing to help the other two major forces improve their living standards.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
If America doesn't help, the human resources of these two places will sooner or later be drained away by the Homo Sapiens company.
Sapiens originally had nearly 3 billion employees.
Now that these more than one billion human resources are being swallowed up by Sapiens, America might as well surrender .
Whether from the perspective of protecting the free market or from the perspective of slowing down the pace of growth of the Sapiens company, America has to bleed to help.
It's a situation where one gains while the other loses.
If America doesn't help a few old friends through the difficult times, then Homo Sapiens will benefit the most.
If America helps, it can not only stabilize the basic foundation of the free world, but also benefit itself and reduce the benefits of Homo Sapiens Company.
All the big bosses in the Hilltop City Council, if they have a bit of brains, know how to make a choice.
The cooperation among the four major forces is now becoming increasingly close, precisely because the pressure from the Homo Sapiens Company is too great.
If we don't join forces, we will suffer the consequences.
The Geo-Association in the aerospace field is just an attempt by various major forces and a test of the waters.
In the future, as long as the arch-enemy Sapiens Corporation still exists, the four major forces will certainly continue to maintain a cooperation that is only in name only.
