Chapter Twenty-Four: A Few Fairy Tales (Part II)
Story 2 - "Man and Non-Human"
How do you distinguish between two different critters?
Cute you might say it's a physical distinction, but that's wrong.
It is the habits that distinguish the differences between animals.
Tigers eat meat and rabbits eat grass, and this is the difference between food animals and herbivores.
So how do you distinguish the differences between people within human beings?
How do you tell the difference between carnivorous humans and herbivorous humans?
Similar to animals, herbivores eat grass and grow meat every day, and all the meat that grows is eaten by carnivores.
Farmers who go to farm the land and workers who go to factories are "herbivorous humans".
The people who do not need to engage in that kind of cheap and dirty work all their lives, and only need to lie at home to obtain the fruits of the desperate work and hard work of those "herbivorous humans", are "carnivorous humans".
The only role of "herbivorous humans" is to make "meat" for "carnivores".
"Carnivorous humans" can earn unimaginable food for "herbivorous humans" in their lifetime while lying down, are "carnivorous humans" and these "herbivorous humans" really considered a living creature?
The harder the "herbivores" work, the more the "carnivores" will enjoy.
Would a good "carnivore" sympathize with them as a "herbivorous human"?
Even if some of them have this similar appearance to "carnivorous humans", they are actually people of two worlds, two species.
Do carnivores pity the tragic fate of herbivores?
Why should "carnivorous humans" pity the tragic fate of inhuman beings as human beings?
Story 3 - "Money and Goods and Factories"
There are three people, and one person has a lot of money.
One person has a lot of goods.
One person controls the place where the goods are produced - the factory.
So who will have the last laugh?
People with money will spend money on goods.
Sooner or later, the seller runs out of goods.
Only the people who control the factory can produce a steady stream of goods in exchange for money.
What would you choose? The little princess of the Smith family?
Story 4 - "Black Cat and White Cat"
Smith has a lot of rat-catching cats in the house.
There are white cats with strong bodies, black cats with quick responses, yellow cats with teeth and claws, and flower cats with a keen sense of smell that can spot dead mouses.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith made small dried fish from the rats caught by the cats, partly as a reward for the cats, and partly in exchange for money.
What color cat matters to the owners Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
A cat that can catch a mouse is a good cat.
When one day, the Smiths' cats are not satisfied with their ability to eat only a few small pieces of dried fish, they unite to kill the Smiths and eat all the small dried fish that the Smiths have "taken".
The cats walked up to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
"The black cat ran fast and secretly snatched the white cat's target rat."
"The white cat has a strong body, and it has robbed a lot of ownerless rats that originally belonged to the flower cat."
"Yellow Cat ......"
The Smiths pointed out the differences between several cats, and these differences were the reasons for the internal friction of the cats before.
Finally, after a piercing cat meow, there was an instant of infighting, a chaotic battle, and no longer together to deal with the Smiths, and the Smiths took the opportunity to escape.
"I admire the black cat the most, the black cat is so noble and elegant, how can other variegated cats compare to the black cat, I like the black cat the most."
"I like white cats the most, they are strong and safe."
"My favorite variegated cat......"
A few days later, the Smiths privately said different things to each of the different cats, which could no longer be united, and they had to kill all their other colors before they remembered that it was the Smiths, not the other people, who had taken the most dried fish from them.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are getting richer and richer by relying on the cat's mouse-grabbing industry chain, and the cat's cat shed is still so messy, narrow and dirty.
Tom put the "family letter" away, instructed Milia to have the new cook make the dishes and knives, and began to design the elastomer production line.
After designing four or five elastomer production lines for different purposes, Tom had a hard time.
The difficulty is not that industrial technology does not support the production of artificial rubber in this era.
In the sixties of the nineteenth century, the industrial level of this synthetic rubber still exists, but now the demand for rubber is not large, and natural rubber can fully meet the use of all walks of life, and there is no need for people to study the synthetic production method of artificial rubber.
The challenge is how to distribute each step of production to different factories without affecting the original production links in this factory.
The bigger difficulty is the market for man-made rubber, and there is no country with a shortage of rubber like Germany in World War II.
"In three months, I estimate that we will be able to mass-produce artificial rubber, but it feels useless to produce it, is there an industry that needs such a large output of artificial rubber?"
"The original industry has been almost occupied by natural rubber, and we can only look at the new industry."
"I don't want my livelihood products to appear on the market yet, and there are only 30 million pigs in the United States now!"
"Isn't it possible to do something to satisfy my selfish desires? It's too much of a loss to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in a production line just to avoid illness and refreshment. ”
Tom is also thinking about what industry needs a lot of artificial rubber, thinking about it, in this era, only polyurethane can be used to make condoms, but Tom does not plan to promote this thing in the market, and now the United States is too short of labor.
Tom wishes that tomorrow the United States will have a population of 300 million, and let them control the population?
What's more, even if it is extended to every family in the United States, not many families are willing to spend money on this livelihood product.
Tom has investigated the condom market, and there are still some sales in Britain and France, but don't think about it in the United States.
"Now there are no cars, no tanks and planes, the construction industry has not completely popularized electric wires, let alone the medical industry, at most some private "imperial doctors" of big dogs use rubber gloves to do surgery, ordinary doctors can't afford to use this kind of thing. ”
"Now there is no industry that can digest the rubber production of the hero factory."
Tom was playing with the elastomer samples he had made the other day, and he couldn't figure out how the rubber could be dumped quickly.
"Mr. Smith, it's half past seven, didn't you say before that you should live a regular life, go to bed early and get up early?"
Miria's soft reminder made Tom realize that it was too late, Tom looked at the pocket watch, and planned to rest, tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow, and the sales of rubber are not something that he can come up with overnight.
"Yes, it's half past seven, it's nine o'clock in a bath, press a motorcycle, and then take a sauna, it's time to rest, you have to combine work and rest, but today I have been working for three and a half hours, and I have been working overtime for half an hour."
"I'm so hard, so tired."
Tom, who was about to go to the bathroom to relax, looked back at Milia, staring at Miria's washboard-like figure, and suddenly thought of something.
Milia was a little shy by Tom's staring, and Milia, whose face was slightly flushed, twisted her body a little uncomfortably.
"Women are really the saviors of my hero company!"
"Thank you, Milia, I know where the artificial rubber is sold!"
