Chapter 1470: A Change in Social Mentality!
It's been three full months since the release of the Fruit Ring and Fruit Flying Car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these two fantastic new technologies, the impact on all aspects of Chinese society, is becoming increasingly prominent.
Not to mention those changes at the macro level, such as the decline in housing prices, the reduction of prices, the hot tourism market and so on. At the micro level, the mentality of ordinary people is also quietly changing.
Xiao Liu is an ordinary small employee of a company. Three months ago, he was still living a monotonous life day after day, like many ordinary people, envious of the rich people's spending and drinking, drunk and obsessed. But now, Xiao Liu no longer envies those things.
Mr. Xie of the company has just proposed a new off-road fruit flying car, and has added all the latest kits that can be installed. Xiao Liu saw that in his circle of friends, Mr. Xie had just posted a set of photos of his adventure in the Pacific Trench, so he casually liked it.
Although he liked it, Xiao Liu was just out of politeness. At this moment, his mood was calm, and he was not envious and jealous because Mr. Xie had just mentioned a high-end flying car. Although he drove an ordinary business-type flying car, and the price was only half of Mr. Xie's, he felt very satisfied. 200,000 flying cars, and 1 million flying cars, purely from the use, there is no special difference, if you insist on saying that the limit speed is a little faster, it makes no sense. No matter how fast it is, it's still autonomous driving, isn't it? In manual mode, can you drive up to forty times the speed of sound?
Xiao Liu modified his business model, removed the extra seats in the back, and then added an RV kit. Of course, these modifications are carried out at the modification factory designated by the Leshen Group. Recently, this kind of RV modification is particularly popular, many people who buy business models, have changed their cars into flying RVs, and this modification only costs them less than 100,000 yuan, counting the original price of the car, it is only more than 300,000 yuan. Although more than 300,000 is not a small amount, for most of the working class in China, they can still afford to grit their teeth. The most important thing is that after such a change, the house will be completely eliminated, which is equivalent to owning a mobile home that can be settled anywhere!
As for those so-called expeditions, Xiao Liu is also very indifferent. If you want to go on an adventure, why do you have to be in reality? Tossing and unsafe, what's better than venturing in the virtual world? In the past three months, Leshen Group has successively launched five new entertainment hyper-realistic immersion projects, including deep-sea exploration and desert exploration shown at the press conference, and the rest of the polar exploration, jungle exploration and grassland tourism, etc., each of which is very highly playable. In these virtual projects, you can enjoy many high-end services that you can't imagine in real life for a small amount of money. For example, enjoy a French meal and hundreds of thousands of dollars of red wine in a seven-star hotel, and of course, if both parties are willing, you can also do something that both people "love to do" with your partner of the opposite sex in the virtual world. With hyper-real technology, this beautiful experience is no different from the real world at all!
Think about it, everyone in the virtual world can enjoy everything that only the top rich can enjoy in the real world, and each experience only costs a few dozen dollars! With such an experience, who would really envy the lives of those rich in reality? In the eyes of ordinary employees like Xiao Liu, the wealth that those rich people have at the moment is just a burden for them! On the other hand, I simply go to work, get off work, earn a salary that is enough to support myself, I don't have to worry about superfluous hearts, and I have a lot of free time to enjoy, what's wrong with such a life?
Xiao Zhang is a lucky person who has just passed the civil service exam. When he first entered the system, at the beginning, like many newcomers, he was walking on thin ice, trying hard to learn and adapt to those messy unspoken rules on the Internet. But now, Xiao Zhang's mentality is also quietly changing.
After work on weekends, the department organizes dinners, and the location chosen is a very distinctive home-cooked restaurant. The department leader sits in the center, and the others naturally gather around the leader. The waiter took the bottle and began to pour wine for everyone, and when he arrived at Xiao Zhang's place, he covered the glass with his hand, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink." ”
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, how can a young man say that he can't drink? You see that the leaders are all down, how can you be empty? Hurry up and pour up! Hearing Xiao Zhang's words, the deputy section chief on the side hurriedly glared at Xiao Zhang and said.
"I'm sorry leader, I really don't drink, I'm allergic to alcohol." Xiao Zhang said with a smile, although his tone was very tactful, but his attitude was very resolute.
The waiter looked at Xiao Zhang with a strange look in his eyes. According to common sense, young people are actively demanding "progress" in a drinking party like this, and young people like Xiao Zhang are really rare.
However, what happened next made the waiter even more incomprehensible.
Not only Xiao Zhang, but also several young people with him basically reacted like this. Some said that they didn't know how to drink, no matter how the waiter persuaded them, they just resolutely refused to drink, and some said that they liked to drink beer, and even took beer for themselves and poured it full for themselves.
The atmosphere at the wine table was a little awkward, the deputy section chief laughed a few times, played a round, and the leader also snorted, not saying anything on the surface, but he was very unhappy in his heart!
"Young people nowadays, it's really getting more and more unruly!" This leader, who is over half a hundred years old, thought so in his heart.
He can't understand the young people now, when he was young, when did he dare to do this with the leader in the unit? The leader let the drink dare not drink? And one by one actually said so straightforwardly, when he sat with himself, he didn't have that kind of respectful attitude, although he looked very polite, but it made him feel like he was on an equal footing, which made him wonder if he was eating with his subordinates?
Recalling the changes in the past few months, his heart was also depressed. First of all, the young people no longer compete to "do private work" for him, such as rushing to clean his office, pour water into his cup, etc. Of course, it's not that they don't work hard, these young people are still very dedicated in their own work, but it seems that this is all there is to it. In addition to their own work, they no longer seem to be willing to "perform" more, such as slapping themselves on the back, or expressing a little "little meaning" to themselves. This made him very uncomfortable, and sometimes he even wondered if he was one of these young leaders.
Also, these young people seem to hate overtime. Just like last Tuesday, when he was about to get off work, he called Xiao Zhang to his office and asked him to work overtime to write a summary, originally he thought this was a very ordinary and normal thing, but he didn't expect that Xiao Zhang actually said that it was time to get off work, and he had already made an appointment with his girlfriend to go to dinner together!
Dinner with girlfriend! He actually refused to work overtime on this ground! The section chief has been working in this unit for decades, and he has never seen a young man who dares to talk to the leader like this! Dare to use such a reason to refuse overtime!
However, people speak eloquently, opening and closing their mouths about labor law, employee rights and interests, and so on. On weekdays, these "big hats" are all used by him to pose at meetings and materials, who would have thought that a small section member would dare to use these words to ask himself?
In short, he felt that everything was wrong. These young people, although they still have a superficial "respect" for him, it is not the same thing as the "respect" he wants. He doesn't understand why he is so dignified, but suddenly it has become like this, is it the reason why the current post-90s generation has too much personality?
Of course, this leader probably can't figure out the minds of these young people anyway. Because now he is completely out of touch with this era, even though it has only been three months.
That's right, he is still used to using his folding mobile phone worth more than 10,000 yuan produced by the three-stick company, not because he thinks this mobile phone has face, in fact, compared with the current super mobile phone, this kind of mobile phone that can only be displayed on a flat surface is simply too low. The reason why he chose to continue using this phone is because he will only use this kind of phone with physical buttons!
He still drives his more than 200,000 Volkswagen car, and it's not that he can't afford a flying car, but he can't drive it if he buys it, and he is worried that the game is in danger. Fly so high and fly so fast, what if you fall? Those are young people's plays, and I'm so old, so forget it!
To this day, he still can't type on a computer, not to mention the new super phone, which can already be controlled by brainwaves to achieve fast input of thousands of words per minute. Of course, he didn't need to, because all the paperwork was done by the young people in the unit, and he was only responsible for signing a single word on the document.
He didn't understand hyper-reality immersion technology, and he didn't want to. He didn't think it was fun, it was just a game. And he has long passed the age of playing "games", and those are all tricks played by children.
However, he didn't know that in the eyes of those young people, his leader was even more pathetic!
In an era when this world has been able to operate at dozens of times the speed of sound, and falling in love and even getting married can be carried out in the virtual world, a person who still sticks to the traditional way of life, even if he is a leader, is no different from a primitive person! He thinks that he is in control of the future and destiny of these young people, and he has the resources for their "progress", and as long as he has a thought, he can decide the honor and disgrace of these people. But he didn't know that in the eyes of these young people, what he thought was such an important "power" and "progress" did not have such a huge appeal.
For these young people, it's just a job. Within eight hours, they will take the job seriously, but that's about it. They work hard because of their sense of responsibility for the work itself, rather than because they want to "improve" or "be promoted" through such performance. Because in their opinion, the life in front of them has been able to fully meet their expectations!
In the system, there are more and more young people and even middle-aged people who think like this. And those old people who refuse to integrate into this new normal and rest on their laurels are in an increasingly embarrassing situation, because they find that their "authority" and "sense of existence" are getting weaker and weaker. What scares them even more is that the society around them is developing so fast that they can't understand it, and they no longer know how to manage this new society, and those new problems that have emerged!
Some old-fashioned diehards in the Chinese system are having a headache, and in the rich circle of China, those billionaires, especially the rich second generation, also have their own troubles.
There is an ancient Chinese saying: wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night. It means that if a person is rich and successful, but does not return to his hometown, and let the villagers who are familiar with him see his wealth and success, it is equivalent to wearing a luxurious dress but walking in the dark night. For these rich people, they have a net worth of hundreds of millions, such as cloud beauties, delicious food, and luxury car transfers, such a life is of course enviable in the past. They also like to post a circle of friends at every turn, or hold a birthday party or something like that, showing off their superiority in front of those ordinary people.
But those days, after the advent of hyper-realistic immersion technology and flying car technology, are gradually gone. posted a post about a vacation abroad in the circle of friends, and there are no longer countless people kneeling and licking, showing their beautiful luxury cars, and no longer people "begging for support". These material things are no longer attractive to those ordinary people. Although they don't have their own money, they can enjoy the same or even more luxurious life in the virtual world. Don't say those are fake, under the hyper-realistic immersive technology, they are real!
This confuses them a little. I am so rich and so successful, do I end up like those ordinary people? So what is the point of their wealth, their success?
The impact and changes of these two epoch-making products on Chinese society can be said to be soaked into everyone's life, even the spiritual level. Even though these are just two technology products, the impact has far exceeded what technology can achieve!
In a word, these two products make most Chinese people feel happy instantly!
Are you happy? This question once aroused heated discussions among countless Chinese people, and even CCTV did an exclusive interview for this purpose. Of course, in this fast-paced society, whether it is a successful person or a person at the bottom of society, it seems that it is difficult to say the word "happiness". No matter how successful they are, they always seem to be in a state of restlessness.
But now, if you ask many Chinese people the question "Are you happy?" again, I am afraid that many people's answers are the same.
I'm so happy!
This is the common voice of many Chinese people who enjoy the two technologies of flying cars and hyper-realistic immersion! (To be continued.) )
