Chapter 717: The Eight Chaebols (Medium)

The journey from the front room to the Summer and Autumn auctions is long, and there is no other means of transportation available.

In fact, with the strength of the summer and autumn winery, it is possible to establish a very convenient way to pass through the winery, but the summer and autumn winery did not do this, but still maintained the most simple way - walking.

Walking upright was originally a sign that distinguishes humans from other creatures. In the era of interstellar colonization, the last thing people dare to squander is time. Because everyone's time is the same standard, no matter how much money you have in your hand, your time is the same as that of those who eat bran.

At the Summer and Autumn wineries, time can be squandered, and everyone here is in no hurry, unlike the fast-paced life in the big cities.

Because, the people here are all really rich, and they have time. They can take a leisurely stroll and don't run around like ants.

After the money reaches a certain amount, it is a string of credit symbols, and what the rich really compete with is not numbers, but having numbers and time at their disposal.

Luo Sheng walked for a while on the beautiful and solemn central avenue of the Xia Qiu Winery, and suddenly asked with great interest: "Aunt Mei, you just said the eight chaebols, I don't know what you think of the eight chaebols?" ”

A trace of surprise flashed across Aunt Mei's soft face, she didn't expect Luo Sheng to ask a question suddenly, let alone Luo Sheng's mouth, it was such a question.

This question can be big or small, she can reply very perfunctorily, or she can tell it very seriously, and these two different choices will also make Luo Sheng have two completely different views on her.

If it were according to her previous eight-sided hospitality mentality, she would probably say very cleverly: "Oh, Aunt Mei is just a waiter, where do you know what the eight chaebols are?" ”

But now, she can't say that. Luo Sheng's question hit the nail on the head, and he asked her directly what she thought of it, making it clear that he wanted to hear her thoughts. If she is vague and can't say one, two, three, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good relationship with Luo Sheng in the future.

It only took a tenth of a second for Aunt Mei to make a decision. She first smiled, her slender white fingers straightened the already meticulous hair next to her ears and temples, and then said: "The eight chaebols, in fact, involve the eight major fields related to the livelihood of the entire human race, Aunt Mei does not know much, and her evaluation of them may not be accurate, but if Luo Sheng is not disgusted, we can take advantage of the long road and briefly discuss it." ”

Luo Sheng nodded slightly, and there was more approval in his eyes - just a little more, just right, neither too affectionate and grateful, nor indifferent and ruthless.

"I want to hear about it."

Aunt Mei's footsteps slowed down slightly, and she took Jasmine's arm and walked side by side with Luo Sheng, saying as she walked slowly:

"As I said earlier, the eight chaebols are actually eight large companies that are transnational, trans-star, and even cross-race. Almost all of the companies with the names of the eight major chaebols have the power to destroy a country. It's just that their leaders are extremely wise and will never do anything that harms their own interests. ”

"First of all, I think the number one chaebol is the Southern Star Group. Nanxing Group is the largest mining group in the whole of mankind, with 71% control over known mining farms, and almost monopolizes all mineral resources of mankind. What can mine resources do? Build, build, supply energy. To build a city, it is necessary to use ores and materials such as blue, gold, purple and gold extracted from ores, and to supply energy, it is also necessary to obtain minerals. Take blue gold, the most common metal material, for example, after purification and forging, its toughness and strength are 30 times that of steel, but its weight is only one-third of that of steel. Not only is it an excellent building material, but it is also an important source for crafting battleship mech weapons. The refined mineral residue is the main supply of energy and plays the most important role in the expansion of interstellar colonization. ”

Luo Sheng nodded convincingly, "That's right...... Nanxing Group, I know. ”

Luo Sheng's father's father's generation was all employees of Nanxing Company, and Nanxing Company, with its monopoly position, was very mean to the treatment that miners deserved. If it weren't for the adventure he had and caused a shocking reversal, I'm afraid that his father Luo Ming would still be in pain on the cold bed board now, coughing and regretting, waiting for death to come, and he would have dropped out of school a long time ago and worked sweating under the dark mines.

For the Nanxing Group, Luo Sheng can't say that he has no resentment in his heart, if he has the opportunity, he will make this company that drinks human blood pay the price for their arrogance and indifference.

However, from another point of view, the situation of Nanxing Group can indeed be called the first of the eight chaebols. The Southern Star Group has a firm grip on the vast majority of mineral resources, and every time their leader raises the price of mined ore by one credit, all the kings will be frowning and sleeping.

Of course, the kings will not suffer, they will pass on the losses to their loyal nobles, who in turn will pass on these losses to the ordinary people who live in their realms and should be protected by them.

And the resulting series of economic shocks will be passed on layer by layer, and finally the harvest of ordinary people who have worked hard for a year will come to naught.

This is also the reason why many people have been working hard, but they are still poor. They were born exploited, but they never realized that they were being exploited so badly. Some of them worked so hard that they fell ill and couldn't even afford to see a doctor, and they couldn't even drink a bottle of pure water from a roadside stall, while their exploiters were happily lying in a room with an air filtration and purification system, hugging a girl who was old enough to be their granddaughter, and cursing coldly that they were dogs and pigs.

This is the truest portrayal of the era of interstellar colonization, Luo Sheng knows it very well and understands it very well, because he came out step by step from the bottom.

In his bones, he hated those who exploited others, but he did not hate the rich, nor did he want to take the rich people's things as soon as he saw them.

In his opinion, such an approach is just a high-sounding excuse for his own robbery.

Some people are not angry that they are poor, but why others are richer than themselves. Once such a person gains power, he will continue to exploit other poor people, just like the rich people he hated before.

Such a person is extremely despised by Luo Sheng.

From the time he was very young, his father Luo Ming taught him that if you are poor, you must be poor and have backbone, and you should never touch things that do not belong to you.

Luo Sheng added a second half to this sentence: If anyone dares to touch something that belongs to him, then chop off his hands and feet. r1148
