Chapter 2848 We are the 99%! We are the masters!
"Boss Chen, are we sure we can win this time?"
Han Li asked excitedly.
"I can only say that we have built a big advantage, but to say it is stable is impossible."
Chen Mo blew out a puff of smoke and smiled faintly, "The ten major banks issued bankruptcy notices just to force the emperor to abdicate. If they really dare to go bankrupt, then those CEOs would probably be arrested on the day of bankruptcy. They are not stupid. The purpose of forcing the emperor to abdicate is just to avoid bankruptcy."
"As for the tech sector, we do have the upper hand, but the sale of 5nm chips to Turtle Valley, even if they are castrated versions, is equivalent to telling the world that chip sanctions are over.
The two sides have reached an agreement privately that they will not mess around with each other anymore.”
Han Li scratched his head: "After such a big fight, can't Wen win?"
Chen Mo patted his head and said, "Do you think that the hegemony country has been number one in the world for so many years just for free?
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the many patents registered by the tech community are no joke.
Han Li said angrily: "What should we do next?"
"Next..."
Chen Mo flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked sharply in the direction of Ba Guo: "It's time to deliver the most fatal blow!"
……
……
at the same time.
On the streets of Huaer Street.
Members of the Hegemonic Workers Association organized by Joey Powell were already holding various banners and slogans and wearing uniform blood-red uniforms.
Blood red represents resistance and explosion.
As Tyr looked around, he saw an endless expanse of blood-red color with no end in sight!
"All the members of the Workers' Association who can come are here. Where are your people?" asked Joey Powell.
Tyr pointed to the hundreds of cars parked nearby and said, "They are all in the cars. As long as I give the order, they will get out of the cars.
Moreover, this time the demonstration will be led by them.”
Joey Powell had no objection to this.
Workers' strikes and marches are not uncommon in the country. Over the past few decades, workers have gone on strike and marched at every turn, whether it is because of lower wages, fewer job opportunities, fewer holidays, or dissatisfaction with welfare benefits. In short, workers backed by workers' associations will go on strike and march whenever they are dissatisfied.
Therefore, the strikes and marches of workers in hegemonic countries actually have little deterrent effect on the authorities.
The people Thiel called in included professors from Yelu University, vice presidents of Harvard University, top investors in the banking industry, and even former members of the foundation!
They originally belonged to the 1% minority class with the foundation and the hegemonic country officials.
If they were to hold a demonstration now, it would be tantamount to betraying their own class!
The effect is naturally more explosive than a workers’ march!
"How many people came from the Workers' Association?" asked Till.
"50 people," said Joey Powell.
"Hiss~~~~"
Tyr gasped.
He thought that there would be a lot of people coming from the Baguo Workers' Association, but he didn't expect so many to come back!
"I originally wanted to hold a million-person march, but I was afraid it would cause a big mess."
"After all, our demand is to lower interest rates and get workers back to work."
Joy Powell explains.
"I understand."
Tyr took a deep breath. "So, let's get started, shall we?"
Till picked up his phone and sent a group message.
The next moment, thousands of the hegemonic social elites in suits and ties emerged from the hundreds of cars parked on the street at the entrance to Wall Street.
Only this time, their expensive suits had a prominent slogan printed on them – We are the 99%!
"Are you Professor Trurl from Yelu University?"
When Joey saw the white-haired old man in the lead holding a sign made from the Financial Times, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
This old professor can be said to be a legend in the education field of Baguo. He has taught countless celebrities in various fields. Unexpectedly, he also participated in the parade this time!
Professor Trurl shook Joey's hand and said seriously, "Capitalism doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. It only devours everything—including the future of my students."
Joey felt a little ashamed.
After all, he organized the march to collect membership fees from the workers' association, in other words, for money.
When a legendary leader like this joins the parade, his purpose is really pure, which is to protect the future of the country!
Tyr took a deep breath. Even though he already knew the purpose of this action, it was difficult for him to suppress his inner excitement. His knuckles turned white from the force!
A protest group consisting of 3000 hegemonic social elites and 50 hegemonic workers has begun to take action!
"Today, we want all the vampires in Flower Street to know that we are the masters of the Hegemony!!!"
“We are the creators of 99% of wealth!!!”
"Hegemony, you should consider us, not these 1% of vampires!!!"
As Tiel's slogans were shouted, Professor Trull and others took off their gold-rimmed glasses and let the sweat cover the lenses.
All the workers raised their banners and slogans, their faces flushed red, ready to go!!!
"Set off!!!"
Tyr roared and shouted.
The next moment, a parade like a tide began to pour in in an orderly manner from the streets of Huaer Street.
50 workers formed a long river of blood!
Like a long, roaring and weeping dragon, it shuttled into Huaer Street!!!
Some of the workers climbed up the scaffolding to the building at No. 1 Huaer Street and planted a flag with the words "We are 99%" on it.
Educators and lawyers in suits marched, took off their ties, and helped workers build a makeshift podium.
Former members of the foundation were holding loud speakers and using chalk on a set up blackboard to check calculations in the most easy-to-understand way to explain to the workers how the subprime mortgage crisis destroyed their retirement funds.
Joey Powell jumped onto the podium and roared at the top of his voice: "We can build skyscrapers, factories, subways, and everything in the country. We even built Flower Street, but why can't we support our wives and children now?
Why should we pay for the Fed's rate hike now? "
"Why?!!!"
The throats of 50 people exploded, shaking the entire Huaer Street as if there was an earthquake.
Professor Trurl took the megaphone, his eyes behind the glasses gleaming with astonishing brightness: "The 1% of hegemonic vampires stole the fruits of our labor, using some bullshit 'market laws' to cover up their greed!"
Nowadays!
We are here to take back what belongs to us!!!"
“We are the 99%!!! We are the masters!!!”
The next moment, everyone started to chant slogans in unison on Huaer Street: "As long as capital survives, workers will have a hard time surviving!!!"
"Huaer Street owes us tomorrow!!!"
"It's an occupation! Not a request, but a declaration!!!"
“Give the jobs back!!! Let the Fed lower interest rates!!!”
The waves of slogans crashed against the glass curtain wall of the foundation headquarters, shattering into thousands of angry rays of light.
