As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 381 The Perfect Strategy

The value of ancient land was based on the fertility of the land and the convenience of transportation.

Therefore, most cities are built on water.

There is a strong correlation between the size of the city and these two indicators.

In modern society, the social division of labor is more clear, and the wave of globalization is sweeping. In this era, the value of land depends on the population carried by the land, the quality of the population, the scale of the industry, and the quality of the industry.

The virtual world completely subverts this logic.

Both the real economy and the virtual economy are unbound from the value of land.

This phenomenon has gradually become more and more common since the era of brain-computer connection VR, and has completely become a consensus after the birth of the virtual world.

No one recognizes the value of the land itself anymore.

The industry that most needs land in the real economy is the manufacturing industry, and there are many factors that need to be considered in the manufacturing industry.

It is definitely not simply cheap labor that can determine the location of the manufacturing industry.

It needs to consider the price and stability of water and electricity, the convenience of transportation, the difficulty and cost of recruiting talents, and so on.

So even if American tried every means to move the manufacturing industry back to the mainland, it would be better to move to Southeast Asia or the countries surrounding American.

But they can't do it. Compared with Huaguo, the only advantage of these countries is that the labor force is lower than Huaguo.

In 2031, with the degree of industrial utilization of artificial intelligence and the function of autonomous driving, only the price and stability of water and electricity will be considered in the selection of manufacturing sites.

Especially after Zheng Li released a new set of artificial intelligence language and framework, the penetration rate of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing industry has further increased, and the overall unemployment situation of Bluestar has become more and more serious.

Compared with the optimism of economists and financial practitioners, a large number of unemployed people in the manufacturing industry are hitting the job market.

The urban white-collar workers who have not yet been burned by this fire have obvious feelings: the number of yellow vest boys and blue vest boys on the road has increased, and the delivery time of food delivery is much faster than before.

Some users who tried to buy the wool of the takeaway software Jishibao during the heavy rain repeatedly miscalculated.

This is a large number of unemployed people turning to the service industry, and the occupation in the service industry that uses future security in exchange for high current income is the takeaway rider.

They have no welfare protection and rely on high working hours in exchange for high cash.

As for Didi drivers?In 2031, when autonomous driving is fully developed, all Didi drivers will be replaced by autonomous driving.

Even the kind of Didi drivers who drive the car they bought by themselves choose to let the car run on the road directly instead of driving themselves.

Taxi drivers, and variations of taxi drivers, are historic occupations.

The profession of substitute driver is also about to become a historical term. If there are still very few cars without automatic driving functions in the market, they can barely survive by this.

However, the surrogate driving platform knows that this is an industry that is gradually dying out, and has chosen to reduce investment, but barely maintains operations.

Therefore, the unemployed people in the manufacturing industry are the takeaway riders who are accepted the most.

As far as capital is concerned, companies that are keenly aware of this quickly lowered the unit price per order for takeaway riders.

Anyway, there are many people, if you don’t send them, some people will.

This has led to the fact that Meituan's financial reports in the past two years are already the second best compared with other Internet companies.

The first is Pinduoduo. A large number of unemployed people have led to a sharp increase in shopping demand at the bottom. Pinduoduo, which has stagnated and declined for several years, has once again entered a high-growth channel.

Back to the land, the manufacturing industry does not need to consider so much when choosing land.

Transportation has autonomous driving, labor has artificial intelligence, and the advancement of communication technology combined with industrial VR can allow technicians to perform some professional operations remotely.

In the second half of Huaguo's urbanization, the new districts built for land sales came in handy in the second-tier cities.

As satellite cities of the old urban areas, these new districts can count on the transfer of industries and population when the economy is developing well.

However, after the change in the logic of attracting investment, even the land in the new district can only be covered by urban investment companies and state-owned enterprises, and it will not be able to support the local finances at all.

As a result, the land in the new area cannot be sold at a price, and the local government has no funds to carry out the infrastructure construction of the new area. The infrastructure is not perfect and there is no population inflow. Without the population inflow, the land in the new area cannot be sold.

It's a vicious circle.

In the past ten years, almost every second-tier city, and even some third-tier cities have new districts, which have gradually become satellite cities in the true sense.

The intelligence of the manufacturing industry has led to these new areas coming in handy.

The imperfect infrastructure construction of the new district refers to the incomplete supporting facilities for the inflow of population, such as hospitals, large commercial districts, and schools.

However, the elements needed for the manufacturing industry in 2030, such as hydropower, network, industrial land, and commercial land, are all available.

As a result, the new districts still haven't experienced a large population inflow, but the factories have begun to operate in the new districts, which is not a small benefit for Huaguo.

At least local governments can take the opportunity to ease their precarious fiscal situation.

Not so good for developed cities.

High-income people can work remotely, and they don't need to bear the unattainable housing prices in first-tier cities.

For high-income people in first-tier cities, it is completely possible to disperse and work remotely in various places.

This phenomenon has been very common in large Internet companies before, and some private enterprises have also begun to popularize it.

This has directly led to the fact that housing prices in first-tier cities can only rely on freezing the trading market to keep the figures on paper from falling.

After the large-scale rollout of Kechuang Bio's biological communication network, not only high-income groups will be affected, but all jobs will be online.

The first-tier cities that have lost their population are not just as simple as the collapse of housing prices.

The mass exodus of the population brought about a general collapse.

This is a dilemma. Fortunately, there is still time in Huaguo. The current biological communication network is only limited to one place in Gusu.

At the same time, relying on the biological communication network in Gusu, the housing prices in Gusu not only did not collapse, but ushered in a wave of skyrocketing.

The reason why Huaguo's technocrats choose the first-tier cities as the next step is to take advantage of this opportunity, so that the housing prices in the first-tier cities will also have a wave of significant increases.

Then, with the help of this wave of gains, the "financial bomb" will be dismantled at a given point.

To put it simply, housing prices are rising and transactions are active, forcing loan customers to return the principal in advance.

Reduce the total amount of all housing mortgage loans.

When housing prices fall, it is difficult for the owner of the house to exchange the house for cash flow at a suitable price in the market, so that the house mortgage cannot be settled.

Dismantling the financial bomb surrounding housing can only be done when everyone thinks house prices will go up.

The opening time of the biological communication network has been carefully calculated.

Each batch of cities must dismantle the "financial bomb" and at the same time use various taxes in the trading market to ease local financial pressure.

After Li Miaomiao communicated with Huaguo's financial system, she couldn't help being terrified by its strategy.

Because it took only half a month from reporting the virtual reality equipment to completing the negotiation with Zheng Li.

The technocrats have already thought of a complete solution that can burst the real estate bubble without affecting the security of China's financial system.

Everyone knows that the real estate bubble is about to burst. Huaguo's real estate, American's stock market and Neon's national debt are known as the three miracles in the financial circle.

I thought they were going to explode, but they didn't.

The popularization of industrial VR and artificial intelligence in the industrial field before barely maintained the housing prices in first- and second-tier cities by increasing the difficulty of transactions.

The third and fourth lines have already collapsed.

And virtual reality technology made them think of a plan to untie real estate and finance.

Li Miaomiao knew from the heat of the real estate transaction market in Gusu in the past two months that this plan had a high probability of success.

Having been in the workplace for so many years, Li Miaomiao is completely able to hide his emotions and anger.

Even though she was terrified in her heart, she still pretended to be admiring on the surface: "This is really a perfect plan. You are indeed a veteran in the financial field."

"That's what the young people down there thought, I didn't actually do much work.

It's just some leak checking and filling in the plan they made.

In fact, for us, the work has just begun.

There is still a lot of work to do in the future.

The large population outflow caused by the virtual world alone is a headache.

Xiao Li, you should also feel that since the birth of VR, the craze for civil service examinations still exists, but there are more and more complaints about civil service examinations on social networks. "

"Yes, I often see hot searches similar to the difficulty of civil service exams."

"This is because first- and second-tier cities are reducing the release of establishments.

The overall establishment is in a reduced state, with a slight increase in third- and fourth-tier cities.

The reason for such a shift is mainly due to the population outflow caused by industrial intelligence.

Our estimates take time, after all technological development also takes time.

It's just that I didn't expect your company's technology to progress so fast.

The mass exodus will happen faster than any of us expect.

This will lead to a large outflow of population in first-tier cities, which will further lead to many derivative problems.

The operation of a city requires costs. The larger the population, the lower the unit cost, and the smaller the population, the higher the unit cost.

All we can do now is take one step at a time. "

"You can straighten out the relationship between real estate and finance, you have done enough.

These should be a challenge for all.

In fact, taking 2023 as the time node, our on-site staff in Gusu has become less and less.

Often, less than one-third of the seats in the entire building are occupied.

We also had a process of groping before we gradually reached a balance. "

Li Miaomiao was invited to Yanjing this time to meet many key people.

Everyone wanted to know her and Zheng Li's views on the virtual world from her.

This was something new, and these guys knew exactly what it was like to use a virtual world.

Some have personally experienced it, and some have heard it introduced by others.

Everyone's decision-making can directly affect all aspects of Huaguo.

The key figures in the financial field that Li Miaomiao met today can directly affect Huaguo's monetary policy.

The decisions they make must also take into account the next move of Sci-tech Biotech.

Because the products of Kechuangbiology do not follow the logic of technological development at all, it will have a huge impact on this kind of existence that does not follow the logic.

All that can be done is to increase the frequency of communication and make a good advance.

Compared with other countries, Huaguo has taken the lead in this aspect.

“Malaysia and Lion City reach agreement
Malaysia's Parliament passed a resolution yesterday to transfer a piece of land in southern Johor State with an area of ​​1572.7 square kilometers to the Lion City.

Lion City will pay a symbolic one billion lion dollars.

This is another big move since Merlin took over the Lion City.

Expand the land area of ​​the Lion City to three times its original size at one time.

In this regard, we specially invited Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, the former head of the Lion City, to talk about his views on this matter. "

After Lee Hsien Loong retired to the second line, he did not work long in the position of State Counselor.

The financial assets of about 2000 billion that the Li family obtained from Zheng Li did not need to be managed by him personally, but by his wife.

Ho Ching was the president of Temasek before, and she is much more professional in the financial field.

While teaching at the National University of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong served as a guest in major Lion City and even international media.

Of course, this is after asking for Zheng Li's opinion. What Zheng Li means is that as long as you don't spread rumors, you can say whatever you want, whether it's criticism or praise.

"Thank you, host, I think this has expanded the living space of people in the Lion City, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

The Lion City and Malaysia had many disputes over territorial issues in the past, and the original [-] square kilometers of land in the Lion City was far from meeting the needs of the Lion City itself.

We had conflicts over the Johor Bahru port before, but after Malaysia proposed to reduce the supply of basic materials, we lost the initiative.

In the past ten years, Malaysia has successively spent hundreds of billions of dollars on land reclamation, but the built land has only increased by less than [-] square kilometers.

Earlier, it took us 50 years to add 140 square kilometers by reclamation.

And this time, only one billion lion yuan was spent to obtain [-] kilometers of land. There is no doubt that the merits of this era will benefit future generations.

The land sold by Malaysia, I have seen, is very high-quality land, no matter from the perspective of transportation construction or from the perspective of building cities on the land itself. "

"Mr. Li, why do you think Malaysia has made such a big concession this time?"

The host's subtext is actually, why Merlin did what you couldn't do before.

And it didn't cost much.
