Chapter 2 [First arrival in the Blue Star World]
"Why are food products related to eating in this world so expensive?" Xiao Yu was shocked. At this moment, he was in a small town market called "Qingyang".
But this is not the earth, but an unknown planet world called Blue Star.
Two and a half hours ago, Xiao Yu accidentally obtained a strange bracelet called the "Teleportation Star Ring". Through this teleportation star ring, he could travel freely between the two worlds of Earth and Blue Star.
When Xiao Yu first arrived at Blue Star and wandered around this small town, Blue Star also had human civilization and even used the same words and languages. This made Xiao Yu initially judge that it might be another Earth in the multiverse world, but this world is called Blue Star.
But Blue Star and the Earth are not completely parallel worlds. The level of human science and technology in the Blue Star world is obviously more advanced than that of the Earth. Xiao Yu estimates that it is at least 500 years ahead of the Earth, and has at least exceeded the level of a first-class civilization. The current technology of the Earth The level is 0.7 at best.
Xiao Yu, the "alien", silently walked around the market and observed, and initially learned that the currency used here is called "Xingyuan". Through the comparison of various products sold in the market, Xiao Yu's understanding of Xingyuan A preliminary judgment has been made on the purchasing power of currency. One star yuan is equivalent to about 1.5 yuan on earth.
Xiao Yu wandered around for a long time and found that the price inversion phenomenon here was very serious.
Food is very expensive, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, which are simply luxuries. On the contrary, other daily necessities, industrial goods, etc. are very cheap.
In fact, expensive food is an artificial scarcity, because hunger can bring people the most primitive fear.
The technological level and productivity level of the Blue Star world far exceed that of the Earth world. However, instead of using the advanced technological productivity to benefit all living beings, Blue Star's ruling elite uses the advanced technological advantages to exploit all living beings. They use gene editing technology to make the circulation market The reproductive capacity of fresh fruit and vegetable plants sold is blocked, making it impossible to breed the next generation.
The seeds contained in the fruit and vegetable plants that people buy back, even if they are willing to take the risk and plant them privately, will not help. Reproductive isolation is blocked and they cannot grow at all, making all kinds of food an absolute monopoly.
The living beings at the bottom of the Blue Star World can only rely on artificial starch to survive. They are reluctant to eat expensive fresh fruits, vegetables and meat a few times a year, and only indulge in luxury on important commemorative days.
In order to prevent the sentient beings at the bottom from rising up, Blue Star's ruling elites have precise temperature control, so that the sentient beings at the bottom are at the food and clothing line and can't starve to death, but they will never eat well, and they have to work non-stop. If they stop, they will starve, so It cannot stop. If it stops, how can the elites still exploit us? Who will dedicate and maintain their endless glory and wealth?
On the one hand, the ruling elite of Blue Star widens the material gap between the upper class and the lower class by creating suffering, and induces the lower class beings to desire class crossing.
On the other hand, they grandly opened a so-called ascending channel and put a few obedient people up there who were willing to kneel down and beg for mercy, thereby hinting to all sentient beings that there are indeed people who have changed their destiny and achieved a class jump through their own efforts. If you didn't come up, you didn't work hard enough. It doesn't matter. If you keep working hard and don't give up, the upward path will always be open for you.
But at this moment, Xiao Yu, who had just arrived at Blue Star, still had extremely limited understanding of the world. When he saw the seriously inflated prices, he couldn't help but secretly complain: "It's too outrageous. 100 grams of watermelon costs 300 stars, and 100 grams of bananas cost 280 star yuan, but a standard wearable smart holographic bracelet only costs 299 star yuan, and a floating motorcycle only costs 2,000 star yuan..."
If roughly converted into RMB according to 1:1.5, it is equivalent to selling a pound of watermelon for 2,250 yuan and a pound of bananas for 2,210 yuan.
On Earth, the price of a pound of watermelon is currently less than 2 yuan, and the wholesale purchase price at the place of origin is even a few cents per pound.
Smart holographic bracelets are a proper black technology product in Xiao Yu's eyes, but they are so cheap compared to food. People in the Blue Star world each have a holographic bracelet. This is a mobile communication device, which is equivalent to the Earth's. Smartphone.
Xiao Yu couldn't understand why fruits, vegetables and meat, which are readily available on the earth, have become so expensive in the Blue Star world. With food so expensive, how can the lower-class indigenous people here survive?
But he didn't think much about it. Xiao Yu was very excited now because he realized that he had the ability to travel freely between the earth and the blue star and could solve the crisis that his company was facing.
"If we get some fruits, grains and other products from the Earth and transfer them to Blue Star to convert them into star yuan, and then use the star yuan to purchase high-tech products here and transfer them back to Earth, Prism Technology will be able to easily get rid of the shackles of capital..." Xiao Yu As I thought about it, I felt more and more excited.
Prism Technology is a high-tech company founded by Xiao Yu. He showed outstanding talent for technology development at a young age and founded this company at the age of only 22.
In the early stages, it started out as a supplier of precision components and became a supplier of precision components to mobile phone manufacturers. As the company grew, its business scope gradually expanded to include semiconductor displays, new materials, micro-nano optical devices, robots and automation equipment, etc.
In order to obtain sufficient financial support to invest in research and development during the entrepreneurial stage, Xiao Yu, like most entrepreneurs, sought financing support everywhere.
He also successfully gained the favor of capital, but investors required Xiao Yu to sign a gambling agreement, otherwise he would not invest money. The agreement required Prism Technology to be listed within the next five years after investment. For capital, only listing can realize benefits. maximize.
In addition, the agreement also requires Prism Technology to achieve a market value of 26.5 billion within the next three years after its successful listing.
Xiao Yu signed this agreement because he had confidence in himself and the company.
Three years later, when Xiao Yu was 25 years old, Prism Technology was successfully listed on the GEM in the A-share market through a backdoor listing. It was rare to achieve such an achievement at this age, and it was a time of great success. But the good times didn't last long. One and a half years after the company's listing, the market value soared to 15.5 billion and then plummeted. The company itself had no problems and its performance was gradually improving, but the stock price continued to fall.
Xiao Yu initially thought that the rise and fall of the stock price were normal market fluctuations, but later he gradually realized that he had been maliciously shorted.
By this year, Xiao Yu, who was belatedly aware of the situation, finally understood that during the financing six years ago, the investors had already set up a trap with bad intentions. At that time, Xiao Yu was only 22 years old. On the one hand, he was too young and had no experience in the world. Secondly, At that time, he focused almost all his attention on technology research and development and product polishing, without realizing that capital was secretly playing a trick on him.
There are still about half a year left before the gambling deadline, but Prism Technology's current market value is only 3.7 billion, which is completely different from the target market value of 26.5 billion to complete the gambling agreement. It will have to surge more than six times to achieve it, which is almost impossible to achieve.
Xiao Yu had given up hope and was even planning for the worst.
But today he accidentally obtained the "Teleportation Star Ring" and came to the Blue Star World. Although he could not understand his adventure, the fact made him irrefutable. He was now in the Blue Star World.
The most important thing is that Xiao Yu has basically determined that the human technological level in the Blue Star world is hundreds of years ahead of the Earth, and he can also use the teleportation star ring to shuttle back and forth between the two worlds.
It is completely possible to bring the black technology from Blue Star to the earth. This incredible advantage has made Xiao Yu regain his confidence again, and he is more confident than ever before.
At this moment, Xiao Yu was thinking about how to get revenge on the people who set up a trap to defraud him. If he didn't get this situation back, he couldn't swallow this breath, his thoughts were unclear, and he wouldn't even be able to afford the incredible adventure of obtaining the teleportation star ring.
"Relying on the trust I had in you back then, I ended up digging holes and laying minefields for labor and management. I wanted to wipe them out and kick them away. This time, labor and management are going to make you lose blood!" Xiao Yu has already made up his mind to do the opposite. The other side is trying to make a move and has to fight with the employer.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xiao Yu temporarily put away these thoughts, looked around the market in front of him and said to himself: "Let's find a way to get some Xing Yuan. Blue Star can't use RMB here."
He is also new to the Blue Star World, and currently doesn’t know much about the situation in this world.
The local indigenous people speak the same language, use the same characters as Xiao Yu, and even have the same race and skin color. This eliminates communication barriers and greatly reduces the cost for Xiao Yu to understand and quietly integrate into the world.
Obviously, Xiao Yu also knows that his understanding of Blue Star is not even the tip of the iceberg, but he is not in a hurry. He will figure it out slowly as he gets to know it.
With ideas and decisions in mind, Xiao Yu went straight to the fruit shop with extremely luxurious and exquisite decoration in front of him. When he saw the clerk walking towards him, Xiao Yu first asked: "Hello, do you buy fruits here?"
"Sir, are you saying that you have fruits for sale?" the clerk couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yu nodded, organized the words in his mind and said: "I have a batch of watermelons in my hand. If your store is interested, we can cooperate."
I plan to return to Earth and buy some watermelon, there are plenty of them in the supermarket.
When the clerk heard this, he saw that Xiao Yu was not joking, so he replied: "Wait a moment, I'll talk to the boss, by the way, sir, what's your surname?"
Xiao Yu politely replied: "Your surname is Xiao."
The clerk smiled and said: "Okay Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment."
As the clerk went to invite his boss, Xiao Yu was also thinking about it in his mind, and decided to just get twenty or thirty pounds first, not too much, and cash out tens of thousands of stars first.
Xiao Yu didn't know why the prices of fruits, vegetables and other foods on Blue Star were so expensive, but this was a good thing for him, because fruits, vegetables and other foods could easily be obtained in large quantities on the Earth side.
After waiting for a moment, Xiao Yu saw a middle-aged man walking towards him, who must be the owner of the store.
The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: "Mr. Xiao, please move forward and talk in detail."
