Chapter 36 Palower Morning News
“Recently, workers’ demonstrations in the Rota District have intensified, demanding that the demonstrators “increase factory safety equipment”, “increase wages by 20%”, and “reduce the minimum daily working hours” This station will not comment on the appeal of "to ten hours"."
"But we must admit the fact that so far, the demonstrations have caused fifteen deaths and more than 300 injuries. At the same time, due to the strike The resulting economic losses in all aspects are conservatively estimated to reach 12 million credit points.”
On the projected floating light screen, because the video membership service was not purchased, various pop-up advertisements kept popping up. .
Between the pop-up advertisements, a news host in a suit with a perfect smile and a soft voice was broadcasting today's morning report.
After getting up, Song Shi bit into an energy bar and watched the news program "Palose Morning News."
Although the company controls public opinion and information, weaving a unique "information cocoon" for each user through one directional push after another, and wantonly toying with people's cognition and emotions, some things are still difficult to Covered up - like the workers' marches in Rota District these days.
Therefore, news programs like "Paloser Morning News" still have a certain value, and Song Shi also needs to use this information to judge and analyze the situation in Paloser.
“The final results of the new round of power supply network facility bidding conducted by the municipal government were announced the day before yesterday. “Fubo Energy” successfully obtained this project contract.”
“According to an exclusive interview with this station Mr. Brooks, the branch manager of Fubo Energy in Palose, in order to show his sincerity and optimism about the development prospects of Palose, will provide an additional batch of new solar sails at a price lower than the market price to create a more stable Palose. We believe that with the construction of Fubo Energy, Palose will have a better tomorrow——"
[Fubo Energy], one of the nine giant companies in the "Enterprise Alliance", is a monopoly giant in the fields of renewable and non-renewable energy, power supply network supporting components, and the development of cutting-edge energy weapons.
Their space-based weapons cluster "Punishment" is said to be able to wipe a city with a population of one million off the continent at full power.
“The third piece of news is broadcast below. The spokesperson of Emerald Pharmaceuticals in Paloser suddenly announced yesterday that the fourth phase of the expansion and renovation project in the Rota District is about to be completed and will officially start in March next year. , it is reported that more than 30,000 related jobs will be provided by then, while making the city's industrial structure more complete and reasonable."
"Mayor Kent has decided to temporarily change his schedule and go to the Palower branch of Emerald Pharmaceuticals. Make a visit to further deepen cooperation and discuss regional deployment"
Rota District, also known as the "New Industrial Zone".
After the old industrial area fell into a blockade, after years of vigorous development, the size of the Rota District has already exceeded the former. The "Third Institute of Mind and Psychiatry" that he escaped three days ago is also located here.
“Are we going to expand again?”
Watching the news, Song Shi pondered for a moment.
On the map, Rota District and Deep Moss District are two urban areas next to each other.
When originally planned, this was also to facilitate the large number of cheap laborers from the former, who could return to their homes faster and improve work efficiency at the same time.
But this time the Rota District is expanding again, it is bound to occupy part of the original Deep Moss Area - even if the expansion of the former will absorb some of the population to settle, compared with the huge population of nearly 60% that is crammed into the Deep Moss Area, this Just a drop in the bucket.
Completely close to 60% of the slum population is considered to be quite serious even among the cities in the corporate alliance.
In this case, the deep moss area will become even more overwhelmed, and many people will probably die.
“Tsk, I’m afraid the actuaries fed by the company have already calculated it, and they have determined that the “benefits” of doing so outweigh the “losses.”
“Oh, that’s right, people like this A lot of things will grow again soon, so why worry about not having enough?”
Song Shi was smiling, although the smile was a bit cold.
But he had to admit that in his "current" situation, there was really nothing he could do.
Even in his previous life, there was something he couldn't do.
If you kill a high-ranking director, you will be filled with candidates who are ready and ecstatic.
If you kill a company's headquarters with flames and burn everything inside, companies that have already been eyeing it and have the same business will swarm around and devour the former's body, sucking the former's still warm blood. , seize the market vacated by the former. Are we going to continue killing?
Although it is not impossible...
But even if a giant company collapses - this has happened before, and there are more than one, the "Corporate Alliance" still stands here, and the order remains as before , order is the same as the future.
Song Shi thought.
In addition to my friendship with a few friends, perhaps this was also the reason why I was willing to accept the employment of the [Enlightened One] in my previous life.
But it was just "employment". I really couldn't do what they did and throw everything, including myself, into the ideal fire of "anti-corporate order" and turn it into a short-lived firewood.
Dudu - Dududu.
A burst of icons flashed on the retinal projection, interrupting Song Shi's memory.
A strange communication.
Song Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized something, and his whole temperament changed.
then.
When Jaredan connected to the video communication, on the other side of the screen, the young man looked clumsy and at a loss. It seemed that he was afraid and even did not dare to look directly into the other person's eyes.
"Ouch"
Jariden raised his eyebrows, quite satisfied with this scene.
“Let me think about it, well, He Yue, right?”
Jaredan entered the process with ease: "It's the third day now, how do you feel? Have you found a job?"
The other party opened his eyes wide: "I'm still looking. Wait a minute, what else to say, It’s impossible for me to find it so quickly! And it’s been promised for a month!”
“Why don’t you try harder?”
Jariden grinned and suddenly squeezed out another one. An ugly smile: "Just kidding, don't be too nervous - we are a legal lending company. Since we said it would be one month, it must be one month."
"I just suddenly remembered something. I forgot about it at the time. I told you, now come here to remind you.”
The other person looked a little nervous.
“Don’t think about not paying back the money you owe, and don’t think about running away.”
Jariden stretched out his bent index and middle fingers, tapped his eyes, and said in a tone of voice Yi Leng:
“—I can guarantee that those who are so arrogant will regret this idea every day.”
The communication hangs up.
After successfully completing the threat, Jaredon nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but laugh.
On the other end of the communication, he picked up a scalpel and Song Shi also laughed.
“First of all, loans aside, how dare you threaten me?”
