Opening game, American Tycoon

What is life?
Everyone has their own opinions on this, but life is certainly not about living for the sake of survival. That is called living, not living.

For the 27 billion Zhuxia compatriots, they live a life that is the envy of everyone. They have universal national health insurance and pension insurance, and social welfare covers almost the entire process from birth to death. This also makes Their lives are more comfortable and relaxed than many people's.

Although such benefits are only basic benefits, they are enough to make the world envious. Of course, they allow the people of Zhuxia to live a decent life.

However, if people want to live a better life, they always need to make some efforts.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, when these all-night restaurants started to open, many salesmen with heavy makeup and light makeup were coming out of the restaurants on the street. Most of these people came from the West or Southeast Asia. The reason why they I came here to pursue a better life.

Some people who had had enough to eat were invited by them to enter a nearby restaurant, where they sang songs, drank wine, and started night life.

Several of them also cast their eyes on Catherine, perhaps thinking that she was a staff member here - in this world, it is difficult for people to tell the difference between the two based on their clothing, because all adult women They all put on makeup and dress up beautifully before going out. Most women think this is basic etiquette, otherwise it is rude.

But they also have their own characteristics - Westerners, at least most of them are like this.

Every year, millions of Western girls come to the empire through various channels. In order to make a living, they work on farms. Many of the waiters in restaurants are such illegal immigrants.Such people are also very common in restaurants.After all, there are no technical requirements for restaurant salesmen, so Westerners have become their typical characteristics.

In fact, in comparison, there are not many people coming from Nanyang, because there are more than 2 million Chinese elderly living there - Nanyang is almost equivalent to China's Florida. When people retire, they will go there and rent an area. A small house, hire a local nanny, enjoy the tropical sunshine, and of course cheap maids, and then start enjoying life.

Therefore, almost everyone in the local area either makes a living around the planting industry, which of course is also to supply the local needs of China, or around the Chinese people's pension industry, but there is little need to sneak north to the empire to make a living. Of course , the yearning for a better life will also make some of them sneak here at all costs.

On this "restaurant street", there are bars, dance halls, karaoke bars and some all-night restaurants on both sides of the street. Salesmen from all over the world stand on both sides of the street.

Feeling the gazes from around her, Catherine held Zhu Xianhai's arm affectionately and said.

"Uncle, why don't we go over and play for a while."

Hearing this, Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.

"Catherine, you should say - uncle, just come..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received Catherine's iron fist. The iron fist was neither light nor heavy, and it was all regarded as a hammer on the back.

"Hey, you look young, but I didn't expect that you know these things quite well."

"I just watched it from the movie. After watching too many movies, I naturally understand a little bit."

Zhu Xianhai pointed to the restaurant on the roadside and said.

"And this is a legitimate business. You make money through your own labor. It's not shabby."

What's so shabby? The legitimate job of paying taxes in accordance with the law is just singing songs with others and selling drinks. There is nothing special about it. "Hmm,"

Catherine hummed.

"Men, men all over the world are the same. If it weren't for you..."

Zhu Xianhai did not deny this, but slapped her hard on the back and said.

"It's indeed the same. From ancient times to the present, men's hobbies have always been upright. They just like young and beautiful people. Otherwise, how could I like you?"

Regarding his actions, Catherine just rolled her eyes at him. After walking around the restaurant street, Zhu Xianhai had some understanding of the entertainment activities on this street, but he didn't like going to restaurants or KTVs. singing in.

In fact, it’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I don’t know what to sing at all.

However, it can be seen that the economic recession has not affected consumption here.

In fact, it is not an economic recession, but in the past few years, the economic growth of Ming Dynasty and the entire world has been far less than in the past. It seems that the economy can no longer find any driving force for rapid growth.

In other words, after years of development, the new industrial revolution has exerted little influence on the economy.

"Perhaps this is why he promotes the Mars project."

Promoting the development of science and technology by promoting the Mars project, and then promoting the birth of a new industrial revolution, is also a development approach, but it has not shown its due effect. However, as far as Zhu Xianhai understands, the distance from the new industrial revolution is only the last step. It's just the finishing touch.

Although the economic development of the empire is in trouble, the population growth has not been in trouble - in fact, the population growth of the Chinese circle, including the Ming Dynasty, has always maintained a good level. This is directly related to the full coverage of social welfare. Of course, , the current population growth rate is far less than that in the past. This is due to many reasons such as urbanization and the continuous improvement of women's education level and economic status. However, the overall fertility rate in the Greater China Circle still remains at the warning line of the replacement of population generations. Above level!
Until now, articles about female virtues are still written in the textbooks of the empire. In the Ming Dynasty, although professional women appeared from time to time, in fact, their destination was to be married to their husbands and raise their children. Of course, this was also part of the traditional culture.Men are the breadwinners of the family, and women support their husbands and raise their children. This avoids a situation where population growth declines or even becomes negative.In contrast, France is in this predicament. Its population has been declining for a long time, and the rate of decline is very fast!This result caused widespread panic, and officials subsequently launched a series of measures to encourage childbirth, which allowed the fertility rate to rebound in recent years.

From this point of view, the stimulus measures formulated back then were successful, but the third industrial revolution never achieved a breakthrough, which directly led to economic stagnation.

“Without new growth points driven by new technologies, this will definitely be the way it goes!”

Looking at the looks of people on the roadside, Zhu Xianhai silently thought that why he invested in Tomato Home was actually to open the door to the fourth industrial revolution. When he left another world, had that door been opened? Opened, he didn't know clearly, but everyone could realize that the door had actually been opened by a small crack. From the day when artificial weak intelligence became popular, it entered the era of artificial intelligence and reached the era of artificial strong intelligence. Realization is just a matter of time.

What is needed now is just guidance. With proper guidance and using the more developed basic technology, Zhu Xianhai will definitely be surprised here...
