383rd Capital Iron House
383rd Capital Iron House
couldn't wait for the next day's trip, Meng Haiyong immediately changed the flight at his own expense and went home as soon as possible.
There is no resurrection from the dead.
No matter how sad and painful it is, Meng Haiyong can only accept the cruel facts.
After the funeral in Chaos, Meng Haige and Meng Haiyong sisters were relatively speechless. After time dilutes the sadness a little, Meng Haige and Meng Haiyong talked about the future: "What is the environment over there in Wulian? ”
Meng Haiyong thought that her sister was caring about herself, and simply said, "It's okay." ”
Unexpectedly, Meng Haige delved into the details: "Can you tell me more details?" ”
Meng Haiyong looked at Meng Haige in surprise.
Meng Haige's eyes moved to Meng's father's posthumous photo: "Speaking of which, it's because our family has no money." If there is a special life-saving medicine of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan per month, our father will definitely recover smoothly, and our mother can live for another 20 years. It's a pity that our family is poor and can't afford to pay more than 700,000 yuan a year for medical expenses, so we can only watch tragedies happen again and again. ”
Meng Haige's gaze turned to Meng Haiyong: "It can't be like this anymore." ”
Meng Haiyong snorted.
Meng Haiyong looked down at the snowless winter scene in the community through the balcony: "If my college classmate Qi Lirui encounters a similar tragedy, she will be able to repel the invasion of the disease by leaking millions of dollars." Money is not everything, but no money is everything. So, I'm going to make money, I'm going to work hard to make money, I'm going to make enough money to save lives. ”
Meng Haige immediately talked about the relationship between making money and Wulian: "Zhu is preparing to build a super-large intelligent factory industrial chain in the Wulian enclosure, and is now recruiting employees to work in Wulian for a long time." Zhu Wei's corporate culture, where to open up a new industrial base, first recruit employees who are willing to take the initiative to go; If everyone's enthusiasm is not high, a rotation system will be adopted to reinforce the new industrial base in batches. The civil war ended at the beginning of the year, and many people were reluctant to take risks when they heard that the crackdown on bandits was still ongoing. If I take the opportunity to actively apply, I wish to approve my application with certainty. ”
Meng Haiyong suddenly said: "Do you want to work in Wulian?" ”
Meng Haige smiled: "I want to make more money." ”
Perhaps afraid that Meng Haiyong would not understand, Meng Haige added an explanation: "Zhu Wei does not recognize my work experience in a Taiwan company, and is only willing to give me the minimum pre-tax treatment of 6,000 yuan." If you are willing to work in UUD, the monthly subsidy for rotating employees is 3,000 yuan, and the monthly subsidy for resident UUD employees is 4,500 yuan or 45,000 yuan in alliance currency. Since the issuance of the alliance currency, the current exchange rate is equivalent to 1.013 yuan for every 10 yuan of alliance currency, and 45,000 yuan of alliance currency is 4558 yuan. ”
The subsidy of 4,558 yuan is compared with the regular salary of 6,000 yuan, don't blame Meng Haige for being excited.
Meng Haiyong was not surprised by Meng Haige's thoughts.
Many people rushed to Wulian for money, and Yu Leilong, who met by chance on the way to Wulian, didn't he think the same way?
The reason why Yu Leilong traveled thousands of miles to Wulian was also because the company offered a subsidy that he couldn't refuse. Under the market economy system, capital is often the first driving force, and many things that cannot be done by patriotism and nationalism can be easily solved by doubling the salary.
Linking theory with practice, Meng Haiyong suddenly remembered the idea of the Alliance Party that he had heard in class: the typical feature of a capitalist society is that the vast majority of human resources are clearly priced.
Meng Haige knew nothing about the Ukrainian Union, and even less about the Union Party. If she is persuaded to dedicate herself to the United Nations with the concept of the Alliance Party, Meng Haige will definitely disdain to let her think as far as she wants. Meng Haige, who is not moved by various ideas, can be tempted by a mere 4,558 yuan subsidy. The Union Party lured Zhu Wei to go to the United States to set up a factory with a ten-year free and ten-year tax reduction policy, and Zhu Wei even used a monthly subsidy of 4,558 yuan to lure Meng Haige to go to the United States thousands of miles away to dedicate his youth.
Having said that, the reason why Meng Haiyong participated in the college student exchange last year was also for thousands of yuan in subsidies?
Meng Haiyong, Yu Leilong, Meng Haige, they all have their own hobbies and ideals, but they all rushed to Wulian because of thousands of yuan in subsidies.
Meng Haiyong also recalled a political class in which a lecturer who was a member of the League Party objectively explained the difference between the Workers' Party and the Union Party in terms of morality: "The League Party praises the phenomenon of selfless dedication, but does not advocate that party members must make selfless contributions. The reason is very simple, free is often the most expensive, and the more the society advocates selfless dedication, the more expensive the hidden cost sometimes becomes. Therefore, the League Party prefers to advocate 'sub-road to cattle' rather than 'sub-tribute to redeem people', and the whole party must always be vigilant, not to raise moral standards to a height that is difficult for most people to achieve, and must return morality to good social customs that are not harmful to themselves and beneficial to others. Returning to today's economic construction, the Union Party is also unwilling to call on party members and citizens to make selfless contributions, if it can squeeze the wisdom of the world's people with a small profit of tens of thousands of yuan, why use the dedication spirit with high hidden costs? ”
The League Party simply divides the people into three parts: party members, probationary party members, and the masses. In the treatment of party members, the alliance party strives for ideological resonance and closely unites under one banner; For probationary party members, the alliance party focuses on enlightenment and leads them to think about problems that they usually have no time to think about; In the treatment of ordinary people, the League Party downplays the role of ideological inspiration and prefers to use capital as a driving force.
Listening to the lecturer's boring principle analysis for the first time, Meng Haiyong absentmindedly disdained: "Who wants you to teach!" ”
But now that she has witnessed her sister Meng Haige's choice up close, Meng Haiyong suddenly realized that the simplest way is often the most effective way. Meng Haiyong, Yu Leilong, and Meng Haige all knew nothing about the concept of the Alliance Party, but they quietly fell into the game one after another, becoming ordinary people or small chess pieces in the construction of the Union Party.
Any hobby is not as good as a subsidy of thousands of yuan.
Nothing is as convincing as a subsidy of thousands of dollars.
Meng Haiyong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If before, Meng Haige's words of vowing to work hard to make money were like chicken soup in real life, Meng Haiyong would definitely praise her sister for a positive word, and then work hard with her sister to make progress. But thinking of the lecturer's calm and cruel questioning one after another, Meng Haiyong had no way to arouse positive energy thoughts.
The lecturer's cold words began to echo in Meng Haiyong's mind unconsciously.
Why is the middle class willing to work hard?
Because of loans, mortgages, car loans, you have to work hard.
Because of medical treatment, if you save millions of dollars, a serious illness can make you appear in your original form.
Because of education, American-style student loans, Chinese-style school district housing, there is always a way in the market to force you to pay willingly.
Do these existential pressures exist as a matter of course?
No way.
First of all, real estate is not a problem at all, as long as the city is willing to solve the problem, while expanding the supply and building residential satellite cities in batches, while removing the additional benefits tied to the property and returning the house to residential properties, the housing price in all cities can be cut by three-quarters. The same is true for health care and education, as long as we are willing to solve the problem in a fair and just way, although the limited resources will certainly not meet the needs of the whole people, it will never deteriorate into three mountains. Why are these well-known truths not possible in the real world?
Because capital needs a whip.
If the middle class has no desires, there is no shortage of these necessities, and there is no shortage of necessities, how can they be motivated to work hard? Housing, health care, and education are all carrots hanging in front of the donkey, and the middle class has urgent needs, and the middle class has a reason to work, so that capital can firmly control the middle class.
These phenomena are not the deliberate monopoly of some rulers, but the inevitable result of the forward development of capitalist society. Even if the three mountains of housing, medical care, and education are forcibly resolved, the capital market will breed new three mountains, because capital needs human resources that can be squeezed.
Imagine, if the sisters Meng Haige and Meng Haiyong are already rich and have no desires, and if they don't work hard, they have endless wealth to squander, who wants to work hard?
At least, Meng Haige was unwilling.
The human resources that can be squeezed are the prerequisite for the orderly operation of the capitalist society.
Create demand, create difficulties, and then push free people into the human resources market priced by capital.
With these realizations, Meng Haiyong went to appreciate Meng Haige's positive energy oath again, and suddenly felt sad.
There's no chicken soup!
How can there be any positive energy!
Sister, no matter how hard you work to make money, it is also a small wave of the torrent of capital. Ask yourself, is your work in Zhuwei and your new job in Wulian really your willing life goal? Unless you happen to be promoted to a big capitalist, you are destined to run for someone else's career all your life.
Meng Haiyong seemed to have woken up.
However, this awakening is not pleasant.
is like a metaphor in the preface of Lu Xun's "The Scream": If an iron house is windowless and difficult to break, and there are many sleeping people in it, they will soon suffocate to death, but they will die from sleep, and they will not feel the sorrow of death. Do you think you are worthy of the cry of the more sober men, and the irremediable suffering of this unfortunate few?
Meng Haiyong felt all kinds of pain.
Meng Haiyong felt that he had seen the future.
No matter how hard you work and how hard you work to make money, you can't escape the prisoner's dilemma of suffocating in the iron house.
People lose their freedom in order to be priced by capital. Conversely, when you are forced to accept the pricing of capital, you have lost your freedom. Freedom here is not the so-called freedom of universal values, but a little bit of free will hidden in one's own heart, but the only dignity of intelligent life.
With 30,000 life-saving money per month, Meng's father can continue his life.
With a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan or higher, you can continue to live Meng Dad. Although it seems difficult to achieve a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan now, Meng Haiyong barely has some confidence. However, there is not only one disease in this world, nor is there only one relative of Meng Dad. What if Meng Haige is sick, what if her future husband is sick, and what if her future children are sick? In a society of capital enslavement, Meng Haiyong can only go with the flow and witness the destruction of capital on her.
Meng Haiyong had no power to resist.
Thinking of such a desperate fact, Meng Haiyong almost lost the motivation to move forward.
If the effort is meaningless, is it necessary to work harder?
This feeling is very bad.
Meng Haiyong's reluctance to wake up Meng Haige made her feel suffocating despair.
Let's let Meng Haige work hard with positive energy, it is not a kind of happiness to fall asleep and die.
Holding back the negativity in his heart, Meng Haiyong briefly described what he saw: "The administrative division of the United States is divided into core areas and non-core areas, and most of the illegal tribal armed forces are concentrated in the non-core areas, and the suburbs of Wenke City, the capital of the United States, are actually safer than domestic cities. And in terms of population ratio, half of Wenke City is Chinese, and it is simply a relatively international small county town in China. Zhuwei's super-large intelligent factory industrial base is located in the southeast of Wenke City, and there should be no safety concerns. ”
