Chapter 516 Black Comedy
Sophia was also very happy to see her parents come to their senses.
The six of them chatted happily on the beach.
Old man Osta asked curiously: "Gao, where are you from?"
"Seris." Gao Jianbin replied with a smile.
"Cerris? They should be doing well there, right?"
Sophia was chatting with Saionji Kyoko.
"Apricot is from Tokyo? Japan seems to be a developed country! The benefits there should not be much worse than our company!"
Saionji Kyoko shook her head. "It's very different, especially in terms of housing. Although our company charges 1 yuan per square meter per month for rent, our income is high enough. In Tokyo, whether you buy or rent a house, the price-to-income ratio is a bit distorted."
Sophia frowned. "That's not right . I was watching a TV show in the free world some time ago. One of the shows said that as long as you work hard, you can buy a 130-square-meter apartment in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo in five or six years. That person is still an ordinary girl."
"..." Saionji Anzi's eyes widened, her whole brain was stuck, and then she asked in shock: "Are you sure it's Chiyoda District, Tokyo? Not Hokkaido?"
"That's what the show said! Any questions?" Sophia didn't know much about the situation in Japan.
"Haha, housing prices in other parts of Japan have collapsed, and housing prices in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo will not drop much." Anko Saionji picked up her mobile phone and checked the recent real estate information in Japan. Then she saw the latest housing prices in various districts of Tokyo.
She casually projected it: "Sophia, this is the housing price in Chiyoda, Tokyo at this time."
Sophia looked at the holographic projection.
The average price per square meter is around 1 to 1.1 million yen.
At this price, a 130-square-meter apartment would cost at least 130 million yen.
"This price is still due to the economic crisis and population decline in recent years. 20 years ago, the unit price there was still 1.5 to 1.6 million per square meter."
“The per capita income in Tokyo should be pretty good, right?”
"Before 2000, the per capita income in Chiyoda was about 9 to 10 million yen. The year before last, it dropped to 7.5 to 8 million yen. This year, it is still at this level."
Sophia calculated that if she could save half of her income, she could buy a 130-square-meter apartment in Chiyoda in about 26 to 30 years.
But Kyoko poured cold water on her: "This income is not the median income of ordinary people in Tokyo. The median is about 3 to 4 million yen per year."
"This girl is really amazing. She could successfully buy a house in five or six years." Sophia exclaimed in amazement.
"Haha, the internal situation in Japan is very rigid. Even if she sells meat, she can't earn 130 million in a few years, unless she sells flour." Xingzi spread her hands.
"..." Sophia was shocked: "So serious?"
"Why else would I come to the company? That place is a rigid world where background determines everything. Ordinary people can only run small businesses at best, such as roadside stalls and family restaurants." Xingzi recalled her former classmates.
Sophia quickly took a sip of lemon tea to calm herself down: "Isn't this the caste system in India?"
"They're all the same, convergent evolution!" Xingzi's words were full of sarcasm.
"The company is still the best." Sophia leaned back in the beach chair, looking at the pure blue sky.
"Shooting this kind of TV show is just to deceive people outside. Those of us who have lived in Tokyo know the inside story there. We are just deceiving ourselves!"
"It seems that we need to be more careful about the movies and TV shows in the free world, as there is too much false information in them."
Xingzi nodded. "Yes! In the past, Japanese TV programs often showed how developed and advanced Europe was. After I went there a few times, I changed my previous beautiful filter."
"Haha..." Sophia almost fell forward and backward with laughter.
Of course she knew the situation in the European region, the business model that had not changed for decades and the backward infrastructure.
The tap water in some areas is not drinkable at all. For example, in Western Rome, Sofia’s hometown, the tap water there is too hard and drinking too much water can easily cause mediterranean fever.
If it's just a matter of hardness, then forget it.
The problem is that the tap water pipes in some areas are lead-containing pipes installed in the last century, and drinking too much will directly cause lead poisoning.
The Sapiens Company often exposes the dirty deeds of the four major forces, and the communication airship basically outputs them right in front of them.
Continuously exposing the misdeeds of these forces will help the employees of the Zhiren Company to enhance their sense of superiority and reduce the naive ideas of some employees.
After all, without comparison, there is no gap.
How can we demonstrate the beauty and superiority of the Homo Sapiens company if we don’t dig up the bad deeds of other forces and whip them up?
Moreover, the company discovered a very interesting phenomenon in its internal statistics.
That is, people who come from the European Union despise the European Union the most, and the same is true for people from other places.
Fortunately, the Sapiens Company did not stoop so far as to fabricate stories, otherwise the negative information about the major forces would have skyrocketed dozens of times.
In fact, even if we pursue authenticity, there is a lot of negative information about these guys, and there is no need for the Sapiens company to make up stories.
Now on the internal Internet of Sapiens, every piece of international news is very professional, with various data and analysis, pictures and images.
When Sophia and Xingzi were chatting, they kept complaining about various things in Europe and Japan, and all of them were well-founded.
"By the way, Kyoko, do you also work at the Nimanya branch?"
Xingzi shook her head and said, "No, I'm working as a baby nutritionist at the Numidia branch, but I've already applied to move to the Nimanya branch, and then I can work and live with Gao Jun."
"Have you thought it through?" Sophia asked in a low voice.
"Well, Mr. Gao is a very nice person." Xingzi's face flushed slightly.
Sophia stretched herself and said, "Nemanja may become colder in the future. Our weather service company has detected that the Arctic ice cover has expanded by 17.3% this year, and the freezing period has been extended by more than a month."
"Is it so serious?" Xingzi has been working in a city in the North African desert in recent years and has not felt the sudden change in global temperature at all.
Sophia is a little worried: "Our company's research station in the Arctic gave up using icebreakers some time ago and directly used transport airships for supplies. Now the ice cover has spread to northern Northern Europe. It is estimated that the Arctic ice cover will expand further in the winter in the second half of this year."
"Most of our company's operating areas are on the equator, so the impact shouldn't be that big, right?"
"No, the equator will be affected as well. The expansion and thickening of the ice sheets at the North and South Poles will cause the sea level to drop, which will lead to sea retreat."
Xingzi scratched her head: "The sea is retreating?"
Gao Jianbin came over with a soda bottle in hand and said: "Sea retreat means that part of the shallow sea will become land. The current Suez Canal, Strait of Malacca, Kra Canal, and Sino-American Canal may all become land."
"Is it that serious?" Xingzi's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, the company will mainly rely on air transport in the future, and the retreat of the sea will not have much impact on us."
Indeed, even if there is a large-scale global sea retreat in the future, the main seas of the Pacific Ocean, Ceylon Ocean and Atlantic Ocean will still be navigable.
The equatorial stratospheric railway of the Sapiens company has already started construction.
The region currently most affected by global cooling is actually Lucia. They had previously planned to cooperate with the other three major forces to focus on developing the Arctic route to replace the Malacca route.
Now this plan has been aborted.
