"No. 605, Building 204......"

"It's here!"

Walking out of the elevator, Liu Meizhu found that this house was quite distinctive, and she asked curiously: "Jingcai, are all the houses here like this?" ”

"It's all like this, and the new houses are designed this way." Zhao Jingcai nodded.

The reason why Liu Meizhu was very surprised was because the housing here was indeed unique, and it was very different from that of Dayuan Island.

In other words, the design concept of Homo sapiens' residential buildings is very different from that of traditional commercial housing.

Chen Yanxiu's family stepped out of the elevator and discovered this difference.

The first thing that catches your eye is that the house is not like a high-rise residence, but like a villa, because the houses on this floor are not on the same wall as the front and back, left and right.

Through a corridor 4 meters wide, you will come to Gate 605.

Between the left and right sides of the house and the neighbor's house, there is a small alley with a width of 1 meter, and Liu Meizhu did not enter the door, but walked along the alleyway on the left.

After passing through the roadway, it suddenly became clear.

The back half of the house in front of me is also a balcony area facing the outside, and it happens that the neighbor is having a barbecue on the balcony.

The hostess of the neighbor saw her and greeted her with a smile in Thai: "Savadika......"

"Ah...... Savadika. Liu Meizhu will also know this Thai sentence.

The neighbor also seemed to see that Liu Meizhu did not understand Thai, pointed to the back door of his balcony a few times, and said a few words in stammering Chinese:

"Hello...... Is it new? …… The back door is on this side...... Visiting ...... free"

Instead, the female neighbor's husband laughed and said in fluent Mandarin: "Hello, you are a new resident of No. 605, the back door of your house is on the other side, and you can bypass it from this side." ”

"Thanks, are you Chinese?" Liu Meizhu was immediately relieved when she heard the familiar Chinese.

The male neighbor shook his head: "I'm from Chiang Mai." ”

"Your Mandarin is so good, you can't even hear it, thank you for the reminder, I won't bother you."

"It's okay."

After saying goodbye to her neighbors, Liu Meizhu hugged her little daughter and went around to the back, and she found that there was also a corridor behind the balcony, but this corridor was about 1.5 meters wide.

On one side is the low wall of the balcony, on the other side is a huge window, under the window is a 1-meter-high hollow stainless steel grid, there is also a layer of gauze on the grid, the top is also a stainless steel mesh and gauze, in the middle is a single glass window with a height of 2 meters, and the overall height of the three parts is 4 meters.

Liu Meizhu also found that the buildings here are very high.

After standing in the back corridor for a while, you can look out over the small lush park not far away.

She walked in from the alleyway on the other side and saw the side back door of her house, which could be unscrewed open.

"Didn't lock the door?"

Inside, it's a large balcony with a 2-metre-high wall facing the neighbor you just met, which is obviously specially designed to block the view.

On the other side, there is a 1-meter-high low wall, but it is also equipped with a 1-meter-high foldable bamboo fence, and the fence is covered with gauze, which can also block the view.

Since she is a family of four, her family has a living area of 120 square meters based on the internal housing standard of 30 square meters per person.

However, the balcony of 100 square meters at the back of the house is not included in the residential area, and other front and rear corridors, left and right side alleys, elevator shafts, stairwells, oil smoke wells, garbage wells, and line tube wells are not included in the residential area.

In other words, the 30 square meters per capita stipulated by Homo sapiens is a real 30 square meters of indoor area per capita.

The balcony area was still empty at this time, just a walled open space.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, she can see the living room and open kitchen in the house, while her husband Chen Yanxiu is tidying up.

Open the back door on one side of the floor-to-ceiling window and you can enter the living room on your own.

Liu Meizhu put her little daughter on the sofa: "This house is so big, but this should have just been renovated, right?" Will there be formaldehyde and the like? ”

"Don't worry about this, these walls are made of environmentally friendly and safe coral diatom mud, and the furniture is made of iron and bamboo materials, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy, without using any chemical glue, and once the decoration is completed, it meets the occupancy standard." Zhao Jingcai patted the sofa.

Liu Meizhu walked around the house.

This 120-square-meter house is equipped with four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, one kitchen and one storage.

Among them, the master bedroom is 16 square meters, the three secondary bedrooms are 36 square meters, the front hall is 8 square meters, the back hall is 20 square meters, the open kitchen is 16 square meters, the two bathrooms are 16 square meters, the storage room is 4 square meters, and the central axis walkway is 4 square meters.

Plus a 100 square metre balcony at the back of the house.

Thanks to the open plan kitchen, the back hall and the balcony without obstruction of sight, this 136-square-meter area looks very spacious.

"Husband, I feel that this house is so high that it can be separated from a small second floor."

Chen Yanxiu looked at the ceiling of the living room, it was indeed very high.

But Zhao Jingcai reminded: "This floor height is 4 meters, which is indeed higher than the general commercial housing, but I don't recommend that you add a small second floor, if there are more people, you can apply for a replacement of housing, there is no need for an internal compartment." ”

"And if you do this, the Housing Management Department will not approve it, don't change the layout of the walls inside the house, these walls are specially designed to resist earthquakes, and if you change the structure casually, it will break the seismic structure of the whole building, and once it is discovered by the Housing Management Department, it will be heavily fined."

Hearing that she would be punished, Liu Meizhu immediately dispelled the idea of rebuilding.

Since the residential buildings of Homo sapiens are rented, not sold, the property rights of these properties belong to the company, and the employees only have the right to use them, so they do not have the right to renovate them without permission.

Even if you want to redecorate, you can only find the coral decoration group under the head office, and there are very few parts that can be changed by private individuals.

Zhao Jingcai continued to remind: "You should pay attention to the maintenance of furniture and electrical appliances, these things have a maintenance fee and renewal fee, which are calculated according to the service life." ”

"How much does it cost?" Chen Yanxiu hurriedly asked.

"Furniture is usually 10~15 years of non-destructive period, home appliances are 5~10 years of non-destructive period, the so-called no-loss period, that is, within this period, the company will not replace you with a new one; After this period, if there is aging or malfunction, the same item can be replaced by trade-in. ”

Chen Yanxiu touched his chin: "In other words, during the non-damage period, if there is damage, you will have to pay for maintenance and renewal?" ”

Zhao Jingcai nodded: "Yes." ”

Liu Meizhu, who turned on the TV, pressed the remote control and asked with a smile: "These electrical appliances can be used for 5~10 years?" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, these electrical appliances are all produced by the company itself, as long as they are not used violently in violation of regulations, the service life is more than 12 years."

Chen was very surprised: "Doesn't the company implement the plan to scrap? ”

"There's no need for that." Zhao Jingcai shook his head with a smile: "The company sells products to internal employees, and does not pursue profits, so naturally it does not engage in this kind of tricks." ”

As Zhao Jingcai said, the "profit" that internal employees can provide to Homo sapiens is actually their labor.

In this case, this means that the more durable the product sold to internal employees, the lower the company's operating costs.

Otherwise, a TV will have problems in less than three or four years, and employees will continue to buy new TVs, does it mean that the company will have to squeeze out some resources for the production of new TVs?

The free market plan is scrapped, which is an inevitable choice for enterprises in order to maintain product production and profits.

Although planned obsolescence results in a lot of resources being wasted repeatedly, this is the survival of the free market.

Homo sapiens is not necessary.

Isn't it nice to invest these resources in scientific and technological research and development?

Therefore, the products supplied by Homo sapiens are often durable versions.

……

Liu Meizhu watched the TV show and subconsciously pressed the remote control to change the channel.

"Huh? How come they are all Chinese stations? I remember that among the official languages of Homo sapiens, there were Burmese, English, Thai, Malay, and Javanese, right? ”

Zhao Jingcai was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment: "It should be that Nanyang Screening Company automatically set Chinese as the first language for you." ”

Chen, who was making milk powder for his youngest daughter, glanced at the TV: "This kind of old TV is quite rare now." ”

The TV in the living room is indeed a bit like the old TV in the past, but this is actually the latest TV set in the current technology, using the unique nano-mechanism light screen of Homo sapiens, which not only has very low energy consumption, but also has a softer image.

The reason why the design is more old-school is because this TV is not designed for young people at all, but for the elderly.

This is also the standard for television sets that was determined by the Social Research Office of Homo sapiens after careful consideration.

Nowadays, many motor manufacturers blindly pursue the so-called innovation, without considering the user's feelings, and make a lot of bells and whistles.

The elderly do not know how to use it, and the young people rarely watch TV, and the result is that the use of the motor machine in the home is very embarrassing.

The Social Research Office of Homo sapiens saw this problem, and after entering the twenties of the 21st century, with the popularization of smartphones, laptops, and tablets, the only group of users of televisions was middle-aged and elderly.

However, TV manufacturers intend to regain the market of young people by adding functions.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this idea, the problem is that their operation is very intellectual.

Consumers who embrace young people, but forget that the largest user group of TVs-middle-aged and elderly people, make bells and whistles in terms of functions, and even design a lot of very difficult functions.

The balance of needs between the younger group and the middle-aged and older groups is handled very poorly, resulting in a lack of favor on both sides.

Homo sapiens learned this lesson and readjusted the functions of the station.

As soon as Liu Meizhu starts the TV, the system automatically enters the fool mode, directly displaying the first channel of Homo sapiens Chinese, which can only be changed through the remote control, rather than various function selections.

"This remote control is actually for the elderly, if you want to use other functions, ...... here" Zhao Jingcai said as he opened the drawer of the TV cabinet and took out a small box from it.

After opening the box, there is a smart remote control, a wireless mechanical keyboard, a wireless mouse, and a voice control remote control.

Chen, who had brewed the milk, handed the bottle to his wife, and then played with the keyboard and smart remote control.

"With these accessories, this TV directly becomes a computer."

Zhao Jingcai said with a smile: "The production line of this TV is originally shared with the computer production line, and this voice-controlled remote control is also for the convenience of the elderly and children." ”

He picked up the voice-activated remote control similar to a karaoke microphone and pressed the red record key: "I want to see true happiness." ”

With that, he released the record key.

Suddenly, a floating window popped up on the TV page.

[Searching...... ］

[Retrieval complete, the first episode of True Happiness is streaming for you...... ］

Soon the TV picture entered the first episode of True Happiness.

Then Zhao Jingcai pressed the record button again: "Episode 5." ”

The system then automatically jumps to episode 5.

"Nice feature, very friendly for illiterate old people and children, but can this thing recognize dialects?" Chen Yanxiu asked curiously.

Zhao Jingcai nodded: "Yes, as long as the TV is connected to the Internet, the data analysis center can parse thousands of common dialects, even if you speak Hokkien, the system can recognize it." ”

"It seems that the company's technology in translation and artificial intelligence is far superior to Google's!"

"Of course, Google only has many employees, and the three subsidiaries of Yemai, Zhiyun, and Magnetic Spectrum in network technology have a giant with 870,000 employees."

Regarding the size of the staff in the various subsidiaries of Homo sapiens, Chen did not make a fuss.

After all, the total number of employees in the company has reached 800 million, minus the old, weak, sick and disabled, plus the average age of the population in the control area of Homo sapiens is very young, at least 600 million young adults.

As a result, the individual subsidiaries have an unprecedented number of employees.

At present, among the major subsidiaries of Homo sapiens, the three major construction engineering groups have the largest number of employees, with a total of about 83 million.

This is one of the reasons why Homo sapiens can quickly promote a large number of infrastructure projects, such as those in old areas like Honsavady, which are already very well equipped with various supporting facilities.

Johor, which was previously part of Malaysia, only has relatively complete subway facilities, while other supporting facilities are still being improved.

The supporting facilities of Kampong City are better, and that is because it is the priority support of the electronics industry.

With the further increase in the proportion of new humans, the talent advantages of Homo sapiens in various industries have been further amplified.

For example, as long as dozens of new human employees cooperate and find some new humans who can speak this kind of dialect, it will not take one or two months to complete the construction of a dialect speech translation database.

And this kind of manpower investment is difficult for Google to do.

Of course, arrogant European and American companies will not set up a translation project team specifically for a small language.

But Homo sapiens can do this, and it must.

For example, in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, Homo sapiens' Internet subsidiaries are now able to suppress Google, YouTube, and Twitter.

The core competitiveness of Homo sapiens lies in the deep cultivation of small languages and dialects.

As soon as Homo sapiens' internet subsidiaries enter a region, they quickly create localized versions based on the local language.

At the same time, a professional docking department will be set up to serve users of small languages.

No matter how powerful English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German are, they are only the mainstream languages in Europe and the United States.

In the vast Asian, African and Latin American regions, there are many people who speak various dialects.

For example, Tianzhu, which has 1,652 languages and dialects, has more than 22 official languages.

No matter how good Google is, there is no way to build a dedicated database for 1,652 languages and dialects, but Homo sapiens can.

Therefore, in small language areas, European and American Internet companies cannot do Homo sapiens.

The high-quality professionals that both sides can invest in it are not of the same magnitude at all.

This is also the core means that Homo sapiens can now set off a wave of public opinion in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and fight cognitive warfare, cultural warfare, and public opinion warfare with Europe and the United States.

The local language can be used, and the resistance of the local people to the company will be much reduced, and this advantage has a very huge bonus effect in the guidance of public opinion.

In fact, the emphasis on small languages is also to further consolidate the loyalty of employees within Homo sapiens.

The reason why the natural person employees of Homo sapiens are also very loyal to the company is that they feel valued and respected in their work and life.

If you force those natural employees to use a certain language all of a sudden, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

However, with 150 million new humans, Homo sapiens can take care of natural person employees with small languages and reduce communication barriers.

Therefore, in the daily work of Homo sapiens, it is common to see those supervisors, team leaders, factory directors, managers, etc., proficient in several languages.

This also makes many natural person employees more convinced of their bosses, after all, they can speak several languages, and they don't seem to be ordinary people.

……

While watching TV, Chen asked, "Jingcai, does Johor speak Malay?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Jingcai scratched his head, recalling the experience of more than a month, and he suddenly found that these days, he rarely encountered language communication barriers.

"How so? I all speak Chinese here, and many of my colleagues around me can speak Chinese, but some of them also speak English or Thai, but there are always a few multilingual people in each department, so there is no need to worry about communication. ”

"I see, then I'm relieved." Chen Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Meizhu wiped her little daughter's mouth: "There should be many people here who can speak Chinese, just now I met the next-door neighbor, her husband can speak Chinese." ”

"It's better this way, you don't have to worry about communication problems in the future, and life will be very convenient." Chen Xianxiu looked at the time and found that it was already half past three in the afternoon.

He turned his head and asked, "Jingcai, why don't you have dinner together at night?" ”

"No, you're going to have to be busy tidying up tonight, and I'll treat you to dinner next week." Zhao Jingcai shook his head.

Chen Xiuxiu also felt a little tired, so he got off the donkey down the slope: "Then make an appointment next week, by the way, leave a number and email address......"

The two left each other's mobile phone numbers, leaf pulse numbers, and email addresses.

After sending Zhao Jingcai away, Chen Yanxiu hurriedly cleaned up the house.

When he opened the wardrobe in the master bedroom, he found that there were brand new bedding sheets and pillows, hung up his daily clothes, and ripped off the dust cover on the furniture to spread the sheets and quilt pillows.

It took an hour and a half to clean up the house.

Chen, who was physically and mentally exhausted, came to the large bathtub in the bathroom to take a bath.

Liu Meizhu, who was watching the children, took a few small benches from the storage room, and the mother and son rested on the balcony.

Liu Meizhu looked at her mobile phone, and on the employee account of the mobile phone, there was her salary and comprehensive subsidy for this month, a total of 650 gold yuan.

Homo sapiens payroll is divided into two parts.

One part is the basic salary and comprehensive subsidy, and this part is paid on the first day of each month.

The other part is overtime pay, performance pay, and bonuses, which are paid at the end of each month.

Liu Meizhu applied for a job as a nail technician, and when she first joined the company, she was treated as Ding 4.

Chen is a chip tape-out inspector, and he is treated as C4 as soon as he joins the company.

Looking at the line of joint family property on the employee account, the couple currently has a total balance of 3,800 gold yuan.

Liu Meizhu is a budget-conscious woman, she used to manage the money in the family, and now that she has come to live in Kampung City, she needs to make a new income and expenditure plan.

There's a ledger function on the staff account, and when she turns it on, she starts listing all kinds of expenses.

While listing the expenses, ask the system wizard some information.

Housing rent: 120/month

Utility bill (100 cubic meters of water per month, 1000 kWh): 30/month

Gas fee (1000 cubic meters per month): 10/month

Communication fee (two mobile phones): 20/month

Wired network (including landline): 5/month

These are fixed expenses, which are 185 gold dollars in total.

Of course, if you feel that the water, electricity and gas of the fixed package are not cost-effective, you can also choose to pay as you go.

Typically, tap water is 0.07 per cubic meter, residential electricity is 0.03 per kilowatt hour, and gas is 0.02 per cubic meter.

This pay-as-you-go billing is more cost-effective for those who don't often cook, bathe, and live at home.

And Liu Meizhu feels that she must often cook at home, and it will be more cost-effective to choose a fixed set meal.

As for other transportation expenses, food expenses, daily necessities, cosmetics, clothes, milk powder and diapers, etc., she also carefully calculated the local prices.

Even if she chooses better food and daily necessities, the total monthly expenditure of the family of four is still about 670 gold yuan.

In other words, the monthly balance of the family is about 3,130 gold yuan.

"Prices are really cheap, and it seems that some other expenses can be added." Liu Meizhu felt that there was still a lot of balance, and other things could be considered.

"Buying a car? There's no need, right? You can rent a car here, as well as the metro, bus and taxi. ”

"House? Belch...... There are no commercial houses for sale here, huh......"

Although Liu Meizhu did not find a commercial house, she found a fine decoration service, which can customize all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances, as well as specially designed balconies.

However, she needs to discuss the decoration with her husband.

Then Liu Meizhu continued to plan, and with sufficient income balance, fitness and beauty, travel and entertainment, hobbies, etc., can be considered.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Meizhu found that there were too many choices, which was also a kind of trouble, but she was happy with this kind of happy trouble.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Liu Meizhu stretched her waist, and then sighed:

"It's so cool! That's what I want to live! ”

Chen Yanxiu, who had just finished taking a bath, looked at his wife who was full of interest and looked surprised: "Why do you think you are so happy?" ”

"I'm thinking about a better life in the future!"

Thank you for your support (ω'), and thank you for the tips of "Difficult to Name _ Syndrome" and "Pig Killing Feed".
