Chapter 190: The Great Change
Jia Youwei and Jia Youbin drank red wine and smoked Cuban cigars, while watching Kim Ki-duk's "Holy Martyrdom" on the screen from time to time, and chatting about each other's other movies on the other.
"Brother, I recently discovered a live-action development game. Looks like it's a lot of fun. Jia Youbin chatted and chatted, and suddenly the conversation changed, and he belonged to three sentences that were inseparable from the game.
Jia Youwei didn't answer, and took three consecutive puffs of the Cuban cigar between the two fingers of his left hand, and then spit out a burst of white mist.
He thinks that life is a game, a dream, and what more fun and hardest game could be than this?
"China's largest girl group, G48, do you know?" Jia Youbin said with interest.
Jia Youwei raised his right hand and scratched his scalp, and said calmly: "I'm a young person, but I don't understand the interests and hobbies of your young people. ”
Although Jia Youbin saw that he was not interested in what he said, he still couldn't help but preach below: "A large group of young girls in their teens and twenties singing, dancing, acting and so on.
If you like one or more of them, you can support them. There is a general election every year, and you can vote to help each other get high......"
Even if Jia Youwei didn't understand what his cousin said, he also understood that there was no free lunch in the world and said: "This ticket should be for money!"
Jia Youbin simply responded with the word "yes", and then went on to talk about the topic: "The number of votes means that she is popular."
Fans decide that they can make an unknown girl a shining star. It can not only let her fulfill her wish, but also allow herself to experience the fun of real people. ”
"If you like the G48, you can buy it. It's too much trouble to have to vote one vote at a time.
Instead of being an unsung hero behind your back and not getting practical benefits, it is better to stand directly in front of the stage as a player, so that someone can help you.
At that time, whoever listens to you the most, whoever you want to go up, will go up. On the contrary, whoever is disobedient, whoever you want to come down, will have to come down. Jia Youwei said casually.
"Brother, you're too vulgar. I don't want unspoken rules. "Jia Youbin is on the matter. He started with the entertainment and playability of games.
"Youbin, I think what you said is quite in line with your character. If you can't keep it up, you can really do something about it.
You can follow the example of others and set up a company with games, movies, entertainment, and live streaming. You make a detailed feasibility plan for me.
After I read it, if there is nothing wrong with it, then I will invest in you, so that you will not be as sad as going to work now. Jia Youwei didn't joke.
"Brother, you misunderstood. I'm not asking you to invest in me. I just thought about it to talk to you. Jia Youbin didn't think that the speaker had no intention, so that the listener had a heart.
"What's there to say? Jia Youwei poked out the remaining half of the Cuban cigar in the crystal ashtray on the coffee table.
Jia Youbin was poured cold water, but he was not sad at all. He's always lived in the world of games. No game, I'd rather die. Whether it's a virtual game or a real game, as long as the game itself is interesting and fun, I will play it.
Jia Youwei held a red wine glass in his right hand, but he didn't drink it, and said without saltiness: "Why did the feudal aristocracy decline?"
"I know I'm not a good kid. Jia Youbin mistakenly thought that his cousin was using the past to say that he was talking about himself.
"I didn't map you, I just asked you. In my opinion, the main reason for the decline of the feudal aristocracy was not their extravagance and extravagance.
Even if I, a person like me, who is called a ghost by my daughter every day, is not a high consumption in the eyes of ordinary people. Just tonight, the two of us have red wine and cigars, which are also in the six figures.
As long as the rate of money consumption does not exceed the speed of money production, then there will be no major problems in eating seeds. Jia Youwei cocked Erlang's legs and said slowly.
Jia Youbin thought for a while and said: "The industrial revolution has promoted the rise of the bourgeoisie as a new force. The feudal aristocracy gradually declined. ”
"Not bad. In the feudal society in the past, land was the largest renewable resource. The vast majority of the income of the feudal aristocracy came from the crops that grew on the land.
That's why they're obsessed with expanding their territory. The early form of state-to-state warfare was not politics, but economic behavior.
With the birth of the new capitalism that followed, and the completion of the first three industrial revolutions, wealth was transferred from the land to industry, from the countryside to the cities.
The feudal aristocratic lords ruled and governed large areas of land with castles, and gradually lost their former great role. With the advancement of urban urbanization, what is the value of agricultural products as industrial products?
The value of land in the countryside is not at all the same as that of land in the cities. After the capitalists seized the state power, they also lost the enthusiasm of the feudal aristocracy for land in the past.
The enthusiasm of the capitalists was directed towards the ability to sell industrial goods to the vast and densely populated consumer markets. Jia Youwei said eloquently.
"The fourth industrial revolution of the 21st century means that capitalists will focus on the Internet, sophisticated artificial intelligence, the financial field, emerging industries, etc. to obtain greater profits.
In other words, there will be new forces to change the pattern and replace the current capitalists. The birth and rise of cyber heroes from the grassroots seem to be the first signs.
The key point that everyone has gradually lost interest in the traditional industry in the past, and the profits are not as good as before. For example, the traditional automobile manufacturing industry. The bankruptcy of Detroit, the motor city on the sunset in the United States, is the best example.
At its peak, the city had a population of more than 1.6 million people. Today, there are only 700,800,000 people left. The city is also dilapidated, twilight, and the depression has long lost the vitality of the past. Jia Youbin understood and smiled.
"China's three eastern provinces have also encountered this era of unprecedented changes, with a net outflow of more than 4 million people, most of whom are young and middle-aged laborers.
The fertility rate in the three eastern provinces is lower than that of Japan and South Korea. The pensions in the black province are the first to wear out, and the deficit that cannot make ends meet is as high as more than 20 billion a year. Negative economic growth is doomed.
The good times are that world wars cannot be fought for a while and a half, and most people can avoid the suffering of war. In bad times, the way for rich countries to plunder poor countries is no longer only to wage war, but to obtain high profits through financial plundering and monopoly of high-tech technologies. Jia Youwei said indifferently.
