Chapter 544 Monopolizing the Future (Part 1)
As usual, the president's speech attracted much attention on the day he won the election, but everyone soon discovered.
Although Barnes is nearly a hundred years old, his overall appearance is still good. He makes people think he is a reliable old politician, which makes the non-most radical groups on both sides of the country calm down a little, and he is willing to give him a chance. Feel.
To be honest, it's pretty good. It's pretty good to be pretty good 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, and 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 reality, as long as people have access to the Internet, Bloom can ensure that the content is promoted to their faces.
Comparing these two points, Barnes's sincere speech seemed a little weak.
The more chaotic the era, the more extreme people's thinking patterns are. When fighting in a group, everyone will only think that the person who is 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 time to show its allies, its own technology, its own industrial scale and demands, and Roxon can also think of it, but his side is much deserted.
After all, he doesn't need 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, 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 chemical plant continuously produces 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 and 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 are controlled by automated machines and equipment.
In this vast production 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 made here, satellites and rockets are launched here.
24-hour industrial production in all categories, huge consumption of fossil energy, and high concentrations of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter in the air.
If you look down from high-altitude surveillance and bridging 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 were basically optimized by Dario. Like Lille, he needs to expand the industry, but he does not need too many employees.
And given the choice, no one would want to work here.
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 choose another one with the order represented by money. Worker.
They've been investing in Roxon for a long time, they've been investing in Dario for a long time.
Most of the time they had full confidence in this young man, but a few times they were shocked by his madness.
But no matter what, they used to treat 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 sponsored the current Roxon.
“Low cost, efficient, and exciting!”
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' Leal had a major physical accident, and it was generally believed that his body was still recovering. He would probably choke to death if he inhaled it!
“Without those imbecile workers, noisy parasites, we don’t need employee dormitories, we don’t need to consider their survival costs, we don’t need to pay attention to their ridiculous unions
All we have is a steady stream of money! Think about our future! People like us are destined to stand at the top and put the world under our feet! "
However, although Roxen said so, people still saw some workers appearing sickly in their field of vision.
To be honest.
It's a bit scary.
But what kind of people are on the bus?
They are all the masters who recognize money and not people. As long as someone shows greed, stupidity, and embarrassment in finance, they will use the money in their hands to hit them hard.
They are all people who can use money to defeat the currency of a certain country, even if a country will go bankrupt and never recover, and people live in poverty and chaos.
They will only sigh slightly: So why are you so greedy? The financial market is the law of the jungle.
However, in fact, they are the same as those who created financial crises in other countries. After some people make money from the emerging market, they will meet these old nobles in the international market, so the guys here are all over the world.
Subprime mortgage crisis, financial crisis.
They are the ones who are fed.
So they are more concerned about whether what Dalio said is true.
Someone pointed to the workers in the industrial zone and asked: "Then who are they?"
"Ah. "Dario smiled slightly, "They are parasites. I guess you still remember that many people owed a lot of loans during the subprime mortgage crisis. These bastards who owe money and don't pay it back should work hard, right?
The robot program is still iterating, and we have to admit that there are still some workflows that require their intervention. "
Someone frowned: "Won't they make trouble?"
"Did you see the sockets behind their necks and the equipment on their bodies? We also have brain-computer interfaces, which can help them pay back the money better.
Brain-computer interfaces can release electric current to directly stimulate the brain, and can be connected to the Internet. Do you understand?
I mean them. They should work hard to pay back the money, so how can they have time to do this and that? "
Dalio winked playfully, as if to say that everything is self-evident--
The subtext is: You can't think about making trouble when you have a remote-controlled bomb in your mind, right?
"Look, I know that some wandering parasites in society will affect stability, not repaying loans, gathering to make trouble, and striking.
But it doesn't matter. The parliament is preparing to pass the Antitrust Delusion Prevention Act. Some people just can't bear to see others live well. We have to prevent these lunatics from destroying our social stability. Maintain stability, maintain stability, and I also have a strong sense of social responsibility.
They need management. These unruly people have needed management since the beginning. "
"Oh" someone touched his chin, "This is a huge expense, right? We looked at your cost table, and it seems that you have invested a lot in this area.
And won't this involve some... legal issues? I mean, we shouldn't leak loopholes to our opponents and make such obvious backdoors in the products we sell to customers. "
This hit the nail on the head for Dalio --
Roxxon Group's market value has soared after it has just completed its substantial monopoly, breaking through $1 trillion and heading for $2 trillion now. If it weren't for the sudden change of heart of old man Barnes, we might have seen this soon.
But Roxxon's R\u0026D investment in many things far exceeds Atlas, both in terms of money and time. Without Stark, many things might not even exist.
This results in his product costs being slightly higher than Atlas's. Only when Stark's automation solution is fully implemented can he hope to tie or even surpass it.
This is the only shadow in Dalio's mind now -- Atlas is a rapidly developing opponent who knows how to influence society.
He would only find it interesting if a superhero appeared on the street, but a guy named Lille appeared on the street.
He began to feel the pressure.
Thinking this way in his head, Dalio quickly replied:
"Don't worry, although we are kind enough to help them repay their loans, we are not a charity. These are company assets and they only have the right to use them. The brain-computer interface belongs to the company before they repay their loans.
As for the risks of use, this is a common thing. If they are worried, let them buy some insurance. "
Everyone nodded one after another-
This is good, this is high, and this money can still make so much money. It is indeed a business genius.
The car is getting closer and closer to the core of the industrial park. There is the core building of the entire Houston industrial cluster, and it is also something that Houston residents can see from a very long distance, through the haze:
High-energy concentrated oil refining columns with a height of more than 800 meters.
[Tony: The people of the United Nations are not very focused. Atlas seems to have taken out nuclear fusion as a big pie.]
[Dario: Nuclear fusion? Tony, I need to talk to you later. I remember you said you are the most advanced, and that is impossible to achieve.]
[Tony: Now let's do something exciting, let them see the singularity particles.]
Dario looked at the giant refining tower with the most serious pollution: "Now, let me show you something-the real future. "
