Chapter 132: Interstellar Real Estate Tycoon
The launch of the "Golden Sun", the construction of this supercarrier, consumed too much manpower and material resources of the Foundation.
Or maybe it is the death of some key political figures, the change of the times, and the disappearance of the real backstage of the "New Civilization School......
For a variety of reasons, the Deep Space Foundation, a behemoth organization that has stood for hundreds of years, has finally ushered in its own period of decline.
Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. It's as if seeing his last "old friend" step by step towards death, Zhang Yuan has an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
But five light-years away, all he can do is sit idly by......
Next report.
"Hello to all my colleagues on Earth Era and Golden Sun. I was the then president of the Deep Space Foundation, Ma Wentao. ”
"In this report, I will bring you a ...... of the changes in the earth's civilization in recent years."
Although the Deep Space Foundation is weakening, it is also an organization supported by government departments, and as long as it has the support of the government, it will be difficult to completely collapse.
The population of the whole civilization continues to increase slowly, has exceeded 60 billion, coupled with the development of the Circumsolar System Project, the economy of the earth's civilization is booming.
But something else happened that seemed small, but in fact affected all of humanity.
After crossing a certain line, housing prices on the planet began to skyrocket!
In particular, housing prices in first-tier cities have soared several times in just ten years!
Why?
Go to work in space, not to make money?
Isn't it to return home and enjoy a better life when you make money?
Where is the better life, of course, on Earth!
Humans are higher organisms that evolved from the earth and are able to fully adapt to the earth's environment, including the earth's gravity, air pressure, microbial composition, and so on. Living on other planets, even with the blessing of various high-tech equipment, is still not so comfortable.
Therefore, on the earth, a house must be bought, and it is a rigid need.
Moreover, a research survey found that the average life expectancy of people who live on Earth for a long time is much higher than that of other planets.
This has inspired the nation's frenzy of buying houses!
Who wants to live a short life for no reason!
But there's a limit to the space on Earth, especially quality listings. For the sake of living comfort, normal cities will have certain plans, for example, the height of skyscrapers should not exceed 1200 meters, and the spacing of buildings must be so large that every household can get sunlight and so on......
Villa?
Ordinary people think that the real magnates and rich people live in villas.
It is also necessary to have a large number of supporting facilities, such as parks, pedestrian streets, hospitals, schools and various entertainment venues.
Only such a house is an excellent place to live.
Zhang Yuan didn't care too much about the rise in housing prices this time, but it was just a normal market behavior. There were several reports in a row that mentioned this matter, and he subconsciously ignored it.
It wasn't until several major events occurred later that Zhang Yuan realized the importance and profundity of the matter.
The first is the hidden financial crisis triggered by the housing bubble. This wave of price increases is theoretically driven by rigid demand, but the rise in prices has triggered a nationwide speculative frenzy.
People hoped that after buying a house, they would sell it after a few years to make the difference, and in this way, speculators began to pass on the drums and flowers. The house has changed from a rigid necessity to an investment target, and the government department has urgently made various purchase restriction policies, but the house price is still rising.
In this rapid price increase, the deposits of the broad masses of the people have been depleted, and all of them have been saddled with huge mortgages......
The second big thing, a real estate development giant, directly bought all the land of a poor small country for real estate development!
"What is this? Buy the next country? Large interstellar real estate developers? Zhang Yuan scratched his head.
This kind of staggering huge wealth really made Zhang Yuan pay attention to it.
The skyrocketing housing prices on the planet have become a historic event, and it means that the poor will no longer have the right to live on the planet.
As for the original poor people, they became interstellar demolition households, happily acquired a large amount of unimaginable property, and then abandoned their hometown and happily went to another planet......
For the poor, money is the most important thing. Life expectancy and the like are things that should be considered later.
If you have money, you can live happily first!
Zhang Yuan doesn't know if there is a cat in it, although there is money to be taken in the demolition, there are great short-term benefits, but there will always be some nail households, right?
The whole country has been bought, and the sovereignty of the country is gone, and this kind of thing is too exaggerated.
Senior Brother Zhao spoke: "You must know that in this era, the gap between countries is even greater than that of people and monkeys. ”
"Like our country, which has a stable political environment, is a pioneer in the space industry, and has developed rapidly for hundreds of years. And many countries, in the past few hundred years, have developed very slowly, or even without any development...... For some regions, a cassava processing machine can still become the richest man in the local area. ”
"Behind the capital giant is the state, when the big countries really look at their land, do they really have the right to choose? As long as the appearance is not too ugly, who cares about what sovereignty. ”
Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully, and what he said was true, this kind of thing had happened a long time ago. For example, Nauru, the country that once appeared on the earth, is known as the "Kingdom of Guano". As a result, after the guano of this small country was dug up, it quickly went bankrupt, and the end result was swallowed by Australia. What was once a land has become a prison.
The competition in the world is very fierce, and no country will help another country for free.
These poor countries have no technology, no capital, and naturally cannot develop their own national industries.
Even if it is developed, it will be defeated by better products, and there is no way to sustain it.
To use a specific analogy, semiconductor technology began to emerge in the middle of the 20th century, when all theories and patents were in the ascendant, and it would not be difficult for a country to catch up from that time.
Like the twilight country and the stick country, they all became semiconductor powers in the 20th century after seizing the opportunity.
The Xia Kingdom only began to vigorously develop semiconductor technology in the 21st century, and it was only a few decades later that the price had to be doubled, because the market had long been occupied by the pioneers.
Fortunately, Xia Guo's local market and talent reserve are large enough, so they slowly caught up......
Today's semiconductor technology has been developed for hundreds of years, and if the leader of a poor and small country wants to build his own semiconductors, it is definitely an impossible task.
There are many things that are permanently missed if they are missed, and the gap will get wider and wider, and there is no longer any possibility of making up for it.
In addition, with the development of the alien economy, a large number of polluting industries on Earth have been stopped, especially the gold and diamond mines discovered on Mercury, which are much better than those on Earth. As a result, many countries have completely lost their economic resources and have no choice but to sell their land.
"That is to say, the entire civilization of the earth is spontaneously expelling this backward and poor population from the earth through economic benefits."
It's a subtle process that lasts for ...... For more than a hundred years!
