Chapter 760: The Decline of the Lazy
They have all experienced the transformation from a big brother with a brick to catch up with the trend, a miserable BB machine hanging around his waist to catch up with the trend, a year's salary to install a phone at home, and a smartphone for everyone. When you go out, it's not only easy and convenient to connect, but you don't even need to bring cash with you to buy things......
has also experienced the rest from the TV station, the black and white color TV is turned on is a mess of snowflakes, and the TV show can't be watched at all. Because of the Internet, seventy-year-old ladies are reluctant to install cable TV.
If that's all there is to it, forget it. The countries of Europa and the Mayflower Federation have not seen their ups and downs in the hundreds of years since they were strong. However, to the surprise of the Europa system countries, the classic arguments put forward by many Western economists have no predictive effect on China's economic development at all.
At the beginning of China's economic recovery, scholars in the Europa and Mayflower Federations began to insist on predicting that China's economy would collapse in one or two years, or two or three years. Moreover, such predictions are all justified. The data is true and detailed. The theory is brilliant. As a result, after decades of predictions, China's economy did not collapse as it predicted.
As a result, China's economy and development have a very slap in the face for these Europa economists - collapse for decades......
According to the research and prediction of Western scholar Martin Jacques, the ultimate development and stagnation of China's economy is to grow to about 30 to 40 percent of the world's gross national product.
And this time, around the middle of the 21st century, that is, around 2050. At that time, the total economic value of China was likely to be twice that of the Mayflower Federation! And it was equivalent to the total GDP of the entire North American region, plus the countries of Europa, plus Oceania and Dongying, which had not been destroyed!
Don't look at today's Mayflower Federation, for China, it still has certain advantages in military and scientific research technology. However, whether it is advanced weapons or scientific research achievements, they are all thrown out with money. In the past, the navy of China, an old warship in the army, did not change for decades.
Today, the speed at which warships are launched is like dumplings. The speed at which aircraft carriers are being built is even faster! Moreover, some of the technologies applied to these ships are not even available in the Mayflower Federation.
This transcendence, like dominoes, is a chain of nature, and once China leverages a link, the few advantages that the Mayflower Federation and the Europa countries now occupy will quickly collapse.
And by the time the Mayflower Federation and the countries of Europa noticed this, it was already a little late. But in order to grab oil, they did too much. Now all kinds of post-reports are coming to the door, and they are too busy to greet them. At this time, China's economy swelled up like a balloon.
By the time the Mayflower Federation and the Europa countries wanted to make a move on Huaxia again, Huaxia had grown to a size that they were all a little afraid of. For opponents of this size, they can only choose to knock sideways, but they can't resist head-on.
Moreover, at this time, the Mayflower Federation, and the countries of Europa, were actually also going downhill.
Europa and the Mayflower Federation grabbed oil too much that year. As a result, there are not only many extremists who target them. In addition, a large number of refugees were created, and after these refugees poured into the nearby countries of Europa, the environment in Europa began to become chaotic.
The crime rate of robbery and theft of all kinds is frighteningly high. Foreign tourists do not dare to enter the countries of Europa at all.
Moreover, the Europa countries also have the problem of high welfare. This kind of high welfare problem looks beautiful, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is - lazy!
Generally speaking, people in the Europa countries go to work like this - they go to work at nine o'clock every day. Well, most people will show up at half-past nine or ten. Then, enter the conference room and start the meeting.
In the course of the meeting, everyone will make small talk for half an hour to an hour, and then, get to the topic. Because everyone thinks differently about related issues, the matter is put on hold for the time being. After the morning passed, around half past twelve, colleagues would go to the cafeteria to eat.
When I came back from eating, it was about one o'clock. Drink a coffee for more than two o'clock. Then work for a while. Around four o'clock, many Europa people go for a few more cups of coffee. Then, at half past five, I went home from work......
Such outrageously low work efficiency has long been fired in China! But in the Europa countries, such employees will never be fired! Bosses who dare to fire their employees will face huge claims!
Moreover, even if there are diligent employees, they are not allowed to work overtime. Whoever dares to work overtime is considered malicious competition. They will be reported by their colleagues, and they will be fired! As a result, people in the countries of Europa are in a state of laziness.
There are five days a week, two days off, and holidays throughout the year, and there are various paid annual leave. In this atmosphere, it is very difficult to find even a supermarket that is open 24 hours a day......
It's evening, uh, it's afternoon. All shops will be closed. Not even a single one opened the door.
A road of only a few kilometers cannot be repaired for more than ten years.
But even so, the people of Europa still feel tired. You have to get a raise and take a break, otherwise you won't be able to work! As a result, in the Europa countries, there are often shutdowns of various public institutions, such as airports, shops, rail transport, and so on.
This lazy state of life stems from the fact that the Europa people were a dominant family in science and technology back then. Therefore, even if the Europa people are lazy, as long as they sell some high-profit, high-value-added technology products, they can feed so many lazy people!
It was a time when Europa people were lying down and making money.
Today, however, most of the advantages of the Europas, including military and technological superiority, and even educational superiority, are no longer there. Naturally, it is impossible for Europa's products to sustain such high margins and high added value. The money earned is naturally less.
Neither the company nor the public welfare system of society can afford to support so many lazy people. It's no wonder that Europa's economy isn't declining rapidly! It's no wonder that the Europa countries aren't in decline as a whole! And the Mayflower Federation is in a similar situation......
