Chapter 265 Great Change and Crying
By 2030, the world has undergone tremendous changes.
There are roughly five criteria for determining a superpower: economy, culture, technology, military, and politics.
These five standards are not isolated, but will influence and complement each other. It can be said that it is impossible for one item to be the best in the world while the other four are at average or lower levels.
For the Eastern country, they have a super plug-in like Luo Feng. First of all, in terms of technology, they are far ahead of the world.
Including the information that Luo Xinyu tried his best to bring back last time, they were all scraps of system rewards.
With its cutting-edge technology and extremely powerful manufacturing industry chain, it can quickly transform technology into economic strength.
For example, chips used in mobile phones, computers, vehicles, and high-tech equipment.
Luo Feng's Puzhao Group announced that it had entered the 1nm era several years ago.
When this technology was released and the first chip was mass-produced, the stock prices of original chip giants such as Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc. fell.
I thought other countries would raise tariffs or forcibly prohibit products from entering the market as they did in the past, but...
In the past few years, Luo Feng has already used the system to bind key people, and they have each held key positions in the country, so their products are sold well all over the world.
In order to circumvent the monopoly laws of some countries, he also found a few white gloves, signed contracts, established new companies, and thus formed a situation of one super power and many strong powers.
But it was actually Luo Feng behind the scenes.
Many countries actually know this, but they can do nothing about it.
Starting with the impact of chips, the world's mobile phones, computers, cars, and all kinds of software and hardware have all become products of related companies in the East.
The resulting economic growth has been extremely rapid.
Two years ago, the total GDP of East China had already ranked first in the world.
However, the per capita GDP is still at an upper-middle level, which obviously does not meet Luo Feng's expectations.
A conference that can be said to be the top power in the East.
Luo Feng sat in the secondary seat.
The Lord is one of the core elders, in charge of the economic field.
"My request is very simple. If you want to enjoy the technology of Puzhao Group and enter the market of the corresponding country, you must raise the treatment of all employees in your industries to the same level as Puzhao Group."
"If you can't do this, I can only swallow up your company."
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he looked at the other people at the round table.
"Mr. Luo, you offer such a high salary, how can we possibly follow? The majority of the profits go to these employees. We pay money and use connections, but the result is almost the same as before. What's the point!"
"Yes, Mr. Luo, you are not short of money now. We don't even have a fraction of your money for charity. You are still so harsh to us. I guess the country doesn't allow it, right?"
After saying this, the man looked towards the elder in the main seat, but the person in the main seat could not see any fluctuation in his expression.
Luo Feng did not indulge the two of them. He turned his head and said to Song Yiran, "Remember these two just now."
When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was shocked. It seemed that Luo Feng was serious!
"Elder, this is against the rules!"
"Yes, we can't let Puzhao Group dominate the market. Do we want to let it monopolize the whole country?"
"We have created so many jobs for the country and paid so much tax, we cannot let Puzhao Group do whatever it wants!"
The discussion among a few people became increasingly heated, and they were just about to say that the Puzhao Group was going to destroy the country and the clan.
Song Yiran looked at Luo Feng, and Luo Feng nodded.
She began, "All the positions you provide will be taken over by our Puzhao Group. At the same time, after annexing your company, we will hand over 50% of the profits to the state, and another 35% will be distributed as wages and benefits to employees. The remaining 15% will belong to Puzhao Group."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. After working so hard for so long, the majority of the profits ended up going to the country and the employees?
If you don’t know, you might think it was the national team taking action!
An entrepreneur who had not spoken just now wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I agree with what Mr. Luo said. After the meeting, I will start drafting employee benefits to match those of Puzhao Group, and then implement it by next month at the latest!"
After this one person's statement, others began to follow suit.
"Me too!"
"I agree with Mr. Luo's point of view!"
"We are all patriotic entrepreneurs. We will definitely respond to the country's call and resolutely implement the policy of letting the rich lead the poor, so that all people in the country can become rich!"
"..."
More and more people were either voluntarily or forced to speak out. In order to avoid being annexed, they had no choice but to agree to Luo Feng's request.
In fact, they are already leading enterprises across the country. As long as they implement this requirement, other companies will have no choice but to follow suit.
However, as everyone was talking, a representative of a state-owned enterprise spoke up: "Our salary standards must be reported to the government for approval... It may be difficult to implement Puzhao Group's salary standards."
Because according to the standards of Puzhao Group, the salary and benefits of state-owned enterprises are far below that.
The elder sitting in the main seat nodded and said, "All state-owned enterprises that receive technology sharing from Puzhao Group will receive the same treatment as Puzhao Group."
With the final word, there was no more noise at the scene.
From this moment on, wage levels across the country began to rise sharply, increasing by about 3 times on average.
As for prices, they basically remain at the original level because everyone adheres to the standard of low prices at home and premium prices abroad, earning money from foreigners and making the Chinese people rich.
The resulting corporate tax revenue has provided a huge boost to the rapid improvement of the military of the Eastern Power.
At the same time, with the addition of some black technologies provided by Luo Feng, Dongda's military level is rising rapidly. Aircraft carriers are being produced like dumplings, one after another, and soon the number of Dongda's aircraft carriers exceeds 50.
As for satellites in the sky, the number of Tokyo University is twice that of all other countries combined.
In terms of the number of other strategic and tactical weapons, Dongda is far ahead.
On the other side of the ocean, several countries are discussing how to deal with the increasingly powerful Southeast University.
"The earth cannot accommodate the rise of another superpower!" said a gray-haired old man.
"Todai is already the most powerful superpower. Without using nuclear weapons, you have no chance of winning!" Another person poured cold water on him.
"Besides, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning the next election. The blond old man is waiting to take the position!" Another person poured cold water on him.
It's like a tiger in troubled waters being bullied by a dog.
"Haha, I still have the most nuclear weapons in the world. If you dare to challenge our position as the world's number one, you will have to pay the price!"
The gray-haired old man said angrily, and the others pursed their lips and said nothing more.
That evening, Dongda News Broadcast.
"Our country has made great efforts for world peace, invested tens of billions of dollars, and finally developed countermeasures against weapons of area destruction."
"This technology has the characteristics of wide coverage, strong penetration and strong counter-attack capability. Currently, all of our aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are equipped with this technology."
"my country currently has 50 aircraft carriers and more than 100 nuclear submarines deployed in the world's high seas, and has already activated this technology. From this moment on, the world's nuclear bombs will be ineffective and unable to produce nuclear fusion..."
"For this technology, we would like to thank Puzhao Group for its outstanding contribution in the field of key technologies..."
It took less than a minute to introduce this technology, but soon after, the one-minute video began to spread to countries around the world. The United States, Russia, Britain, France, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea saw the news from the University of Tokyo and thought it was ridiculous at first, but after calming down, they began to be nervous.
Everyone knows the reputation of the University of Tokyo. Generally, they don’t talk about it, and if they do, it’s an established fact.
Beautiful country.
"What do you think?"
"impossible!"
“No technology can do that!”
"Is Dongda crazy? How dare you say such a thing!"
"Compared to this technology, these 50 aircraft carriers and 100 nuclear submarines are probably more exaggerated, right?"
"Yeah, when did they have so many aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines?"
"What's the point of our satellite surveillance and spies? How come they haven't detected anything?"
A huge panic began to spread in the conference room.
After a moment of silence, the host began to make arrangements: "First, arrange a small-yield nuclear bomb to test the technology that Dongda mentioned; second, immediately send someone to verify the number of Dongda's aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines!"
In a desert.
A sand dune suddenly sank, and it turned out to be a launch silo.
Then, a nuclear missile slowly extended out, tilted slightly, and fired towards the desert five hundred miles away.
The tail flames rose, and thick smoke and dust rose up, "boom..."
Missile launch.
Everyone in the monitoring room breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to launch meant they were halfway to success.
The speed quickly increased to the Mach level, and soon the missile was about to reach its destination.
When it is 1000 meters from the ground, the set missile will detonate.
But the missile did not react at all, like a huge iron rod inserted into the desert, stirring up a large amount of sand and dust.
Apart from that, there is nothing!
"GOD!"
“Is the technology of the University of East China real?”
"This place is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the sea, how can it be affected?"
"It's over, it's over. The Beautiful Country is completely finished!"
"We can't compete with conventional weapons. Our aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are all crushed by the East China University of Science and Technology, and our strategic weapons cannot be used..."
Great despair hung over the top military officials of the United States.
Then the panic spread to the entire upper class of the United States.
Other countries that were testing nuclear weapons like the United States also experienced the same results. Everyone realized that the world had really changed.
After all, a nuclear bomb that is scrap metal to itself may be usable to the University of Tokyo!
Several nuclear-weapon states in Europe were the first to react:
"Contact Dongda immediately. I want to establish diplomatic relations with them!"
"Well, we have already established diplomatic relations. Now we want to increase the level of exchanges?"
"Yes, we want to become the best alliance with Dongda, even deeper than before with the United States... As long as the conditions proposed by Dongda are not too excessive, we can accept them."
“Wouldn’t that be too undignified?”
"Dignity cannot be eaten. We should seize the time and be the first to surrender before other countries react. This will more or less bring us more benefits."
"it is good."
pity.
When they arrived at the Eastern Big Country at an agreed time, they found that several countries in Asia had already surrendered first.
Sometimes countries are still very realistic. If the gap is not big, or even if there is a gap but there are many constraints, everyone will save face.
But when the gap is so big that it is despairing, so big that no one dares to touch it, followers will gather together, fearing that they will be too late.
Towards the end of the Cold War, the University of Tokyo also upheld gentlemanly etiquette in dealing with these countries that took the initiative to surrender, and did not bully the weak, making the envoys, who were prepared to lose face, sigh at the demeanor of a great country.
On the other side of the ocean, the richest country is expanding its territory, suppressing rebels everywhere, and even burning and killing civilians.
On this day, as usual, they were preparing to launch an attack and bombing on a hospital not far away.
Although the hospital mainly accommodated injured women and children, it also accommodated some injured rebels.
The order they received was to kill ten thousand people by mistake rather than let a single person go.
"These rebels are really stubborn. They have no money and no weapons, yet they still resist stubbornly."
"Yes, so we solve the problem from the root. As long as there is no new generation, the resistance will become rootless."
"Speaking of which, if some countries had helped them, they would have killed them long ago! Especially the University of Tokyo!"
"A few days ago they said that the University of Tokyo had the technology to counter nuclear weapons. Do you think it's true?"
"The leader of my brother's uncle's second aunt's family said it was true."
"Ah? If we continue like this now, will Todai do anything?"
"What? Maybe they have some very powerful technology. Do you think they are really capable of global firepower intervention?"
"Don't they have dozens of aircraft carriers and hundreds of nuclear submarines? They are even more powerful than the United States before!"
"It's just a paper tiger. Some experts have analyzed that it is a fantasy to build 40 to 50 aircraft carriers in five years. Moreover, the number of aircraft and frigates that each aircraft carrier needs to be equipped with is a terrifying number. If this is really built, the finances of the University of East China will probably go bankrupt."
"So this is ah!"
"Okay, stop talking. The hospital is almost in range. Let's get started."
Five tanks approached the hospital. In the sky, two latest-model fighter jets flew over their heads, preparing to bomb them first and then let the tanks pass.
On the top floor of the hospital, there is a Red Cross flag and the flags of several countries, indicating that it is a neutral hospital with assistance from volunteers from many countries.
At this time, the people on guard on the top floor discovered a plane in the distance.
"It seems to be coming towards us!"
"Quick, get everyone to hide in the air-raid shelter, quick, quick, quick!!!"
The hospital's air raid alarm rang loudly, and people hid everywhere like panicked ants.
But everyone discovered in despair that the air-raid shelter could not accommodate them at all, and there was no time left!
"I curse them to hell!"
A woman with a burned face, in despair, holding in her arms a three-year-old child with a broken arm.
The child looked at her blankly and asked, "Mom, why are you crying?"
