Chapter 544: Monopoly on the Future (Part 1)
As usual, the president’s speech attracted attention on the day of victory, but everyone soon discovered.
Although Barnes is nearly a hundred years old, The overall appearance is still good, making people feel that he is a reliable old politician, which makes the non-most radical groups on both sides of the country calm down a little, and there is a feeling that people are willing to give him a chance.
Honestly, it's quite satisfactory. It's pretty good to be quite satisfactory at this point in time.
But!
The problem lies in Lille's presentation to the world at the same time.
Not to mention Africa, there is also cooperation in Europe. The major network operators and cities in the country are also greedy for money. Unless those states support Roxon, everyone can see this speech. .
But in fact, as long as people have access to the Internet, Bloom Company can ensure that the content is promoted to their faces.
Compared with these two things, Barnes’s sincere speech seemed a little weak.
The more chaotic the era, the more extreme the thinking mode of the people. When fighting in a group, everyone will only think that the person fighting is pulling the wrong fight, and then he will fight you too.
Atlas paints a pie, which is good; the president and mud, which is not good.
Of course, Lille can think of holding such a display at this point in time to show its allies, its own technology, its own industrial scale and demands, and Roxon can also think of it, but on his side It's much more deserted.
After all, he doesn’t need too many people to share profits, power and future with him.
Houston, Texas.
Roxon calls this the center of Houston’s giant oil industry cluster——
Refineries, oil plants, oil storage tanks, oil pipeline networks, ports, logistics centers.
The entire industrial zone covers an area of 500 square kilometers. The refinery has a processing capacity of 5 million barrels per day. The largest one is the chemical industry. The factory continues to produce various industrial ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, and benzene
The longest oil pipeline is 2,000 kilometers, connecting all major ports in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as major domestic oil fields and markets in the United States
The huge mechanized port is large enough to berth 20 supertankers at the same time, and trucks and railways operate around the clock -
Most of them are controlled by automated machines and equipment.
In this vast production and industrial area, new robots are constantly being manufactured on site, put into production, and then released to other production areas on giant ships.
In the open space, robots copied their own factories, and then built various factories including military factories and electronic equipment factories.
Goods are made here, weapons are manufactured here, and satellites and rockets are launched here.
24-hour industrial production in all categories, huge fossil energy consumption, and the air is filled with high concentrations of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter.
If you look down from high-altitude surveillance and bridge drones, you can also see that the rivers around Houston and the Gulf of Mexico are already darkening.
The soil cannot grow any plants at all, and even cockroaches cannot survive in such land.
After rational analysis, most human beings do not feel that they can cause any harm to the earth at all, but after seeing this, people begin to think that they can poison the earth.
“Look! This is the future!”
A special park sightseeing car was driving on the road, and Dario, CEO of Roxon Group, excitedly spread his hands——
A small group of sightseeing cars are driving on the road. I have to say that these cars are indeed high-end. In this environment outside, the people inside enjoy good wine and fresh air, as well as a smooth form experience.
It was obviously a specially made car. It was a car that had never been seen before. The manufacturer was Ford, and it was a high-end model that they had never been involved in.
However, in fact, after Ford was acquired a few days ago, its employees have been basically optimized by Dario. Like Lille, he needs to expand the industry, but he does not need too many employees.
And no one would want to work here if they had a choice.
Sitting in other sightseeing cars are Dario’s investors and partners—most of them are giants in the financial field. In order to avoid risks, they can choose to give up their physical enterprises and bring money to represent them. The order selects another part-time worker.
They have been investing in Roxon for a long time, and they have been investing in Dario for a long time.
Most of the time they have full confidence in this young man, and a few times they are shocked by his madness
But no matter what, they are used to treating Dario as a part-time worker.
But today they are a little scared.
People at their level want to rule the world, but when they actually sponsor the current Roxon.
“Low cost, efficient, and exciting!”
< br>
Roxon even opened the window to breathe in the outside air!
This is crazy!
They like money, but what about the particles in the air? They are not fools!
Dario took a deep breath of the turbid air. Instead of choking, he felt as comfortable as taking a puff of a cigar!
Is this a human being? !
Atlas and Roxon, two companies that have been regarded as hostile by people by default, don't know that their philosophies are so inconsistent that even the physical conditions of the people at the helm are extremely different? !
Atlas Lille had a major physical accident. It is generally believed that his body is still recovering. He would probably choke to death if he took this one breath! "Without those low-energy workers and noisy parasites, we don't need employee dormitories, we don't need to consider their survival costs, and we don't need to pay attention to their funny unions
All we have is a steady stream of money! Think about it Our future! People like us are destined to stand at the top and step on the world!”
But even though Roxon said this, people still saw some workers looking sick. appear in view.
To be honest.
It’s a little scary.
But who are the people in the car?
They are all masters who recognize money but not people. As long as someone shows greed, stupidity or embarrassment in finance, they will give them a hard blow with the money in their hands.
They are all people who can use money to defeat the currency of a certain country. Even if a country will go bankrupt and be unable to recover, people will live in poverty and chaos.
They will only sigh briefly: So why are you so greedy? Financial markets are dominated by the jungle.
However, in fact, they are the same kind of people as those who created financial crises in other countries. After some people make money from the newly emerging market, they will join these old aristocrats in the international market, so here Guys all over the world.
Subprime mortgage crisis, financial crisis.
They are the ones who feed us.
So they were more concerned about whether what Dario said was true.
Someone pointed at the workers in the industrial area and asked, "What are they?"
"Ah." Dalio smiled slightly, "They are parasites. I guess you still remember the subprime mortgage crisis." Many people owe a lot of loans, shouldn’t these bastards who don’t pay back the money work hard?
The robot program is still being iterated, and I have to admit that there are still some work processes that require their intervention.”
Some people frowned: "Aren't they going to make trouble?"
"Did you see the sockets on the back of their necks and the equipment on their bodies? We also have brain-computer interfaces, which can help them respond better Money.
The brain-computer interface can release electric current to directly stimulate the brain, and it can be connected to the Internet. Do you understand?
I mean them. They should work hard to pay back the money. How can they have time to do this and that? ”
Dario winked playfully, as if to say that everything was unspoken——
The subtext is: You can’t still control the bomb when there is a remote control in your head. Are you thinking about causing trouble?
“Look, I know that some wandering parasites in society will affect stability, such as non-payment of loans, rioting, and strikes.
But it doesn’t matter. The Parliament is preparing to pass the Anti-Monopoly Paranoia Prevention Act. Some people just can’t see others living well. We must prevent these lunatics from destroying our social stability and maintain stability. I also have a strong sense of social responsibility.
They need management, and they, the unruly people, have needed management from the beginning. "
"Oh" someone touched his chin, "This is a big expense, right? We looked at your cost sheet and it looks like you invested a lot in this area.
And won’t this involve some legal issues? I mean, we shouldn't give our competitors a loophole and create such an obvious backdoor in the products we sell to our customers. ”
These words touched Dario’s heart——
The market value of Roxon Group has soared just after it completed its substantial monopoly, directly exceeding one trillion U.S. dollars. Now it is heading towards two trillion U.S. dollars. If the old guy Barnes hadn't suddenly changed his mind, it might have happened soon. You can see this scene.
But Roxon’s R&D investment in many things far exceeds that of Atlas, whether it is money or time. Without Stark, many things may not be there
This leads to The cost of his products is actually slightly higher than that of Atlas. Only when Stark's automation solution is fully implemented can he hope to tie or even overtake.
This is the only shadow in Dario's heart now - Atlas is an opponent who is developing rapidly and knows how to influence society.
He would only find it interesting if a superhero appeared on the street. A man named Lille appeared on the street.
He was starting to feel the pressure.
Thinking this in his head, Dario quickly replied:
“Don’t worry, although we are kind-hearted to help them repay their loans, we are not a charitable enterprise. These are company assets. , they only have the right to use it, and the brain-computer interface belongs to the company until they repay the loan.
As for the risk of use, this is a common thing. If they are worried, let them buy some insurance. .”
Everyone nodded——
This one is good, this one is high, and with this money you can earn so many jobs. He is indeed a business wizard.
The car is getting closer and closer to the core of the industrial park, which is the core building of the entire Houston industrial cluster. It is also something that the residents of Houston can see from a very long distance, through the haze:
High-energy concentrated petroleum refining column group with a height of more than 800 meters.
[Tony: The people at the United Nations are not very attentive. Atlas seems to have taken nuclear fusion as a pie. 】
【Dario: Nuclear fusion? Tony, I need to talk to you later, and I remember you said that you were the leading one, and that was unachievable. 】
[Tony: Now for something exciting, let them look at singular particles. 】
Dario looked at the most polluted giant refining tower: "Now, let me show you something - the real future."
