The end of technology.

Chapter 268 The Merciful Mountbatten
USA, Texas, Austin.

This is where Neeson Mountbatten really made his fortune, and it is still his base at this time.

After ten years of operation, this city has become the capital of light, and even the whole of Texas has been jokingly called the state of light.This has something to do with Neeson Mountbatten spending huge sums of money to operate it.

Rather than saying that this new generation of congressman who was born on a farm understands grace, it is better to say that he understands human nature.

He is best at capturing people's hearts with the smallest cost, and he can always make countless people give up on him.

This is a technical job, and it can even be said to be a talent.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to seek the position of governor in Texas, it is not enough to raise a huge amount of campaign funds.Absolutely no chance without Neeson Mountbatten nodding.To put it simply, Neeson Mountbatten may not be able to make whoever he wants to be the governor, but if he doesn't want anyone to be the governor, then the other party will definitely not be able to be the governor.

This is almost an impossible thing to happen in modern society, but it really happened.

This has something to do with the connivance of Du Bangle and many bigwigs, but it cannot deny Neeson Mountbatten's personal ability.

In the words of a well-known social activist, Neeson Mountbatten is very good at passionate speeches, and his seemingly impassioned speeches can always have the power to demagogue people—just like those mentors in the MLM industry who are good at deceiving.

Obviously, this is not a positive evaluation, so the well-known social activist was directly listed as an unpopular person in Texas. Considering the sturdy folk customs of the people in Texas, this well-known social activist probably has no relationship with Texas in his life. .

Neeson Mountbatten can have such a reputation in Texas, of course, not just by speeches.

In fact, at least 80.00% of Texas residents believe that Neeson Mountbatten helped Texas grab the wealth of traditional economically strong states such as New York State and California, so that they can live a good life now.

There is no way that the past ten years have really ebbed and flowed.

California, which is famous for its Silicon Valley, and New York, which is good for finance, are declining day by day due to the transfer of technology and economic centers, but the characteristic farms developed in Texas have sprung up, at least economically, directly leaving behind the once economically strong state.

It is worth mentioning that in the past ten years, Neeson Mountbatten has used his influence to exclude many technological seed companies represented by Monsanto, and created a set of agricultural development strategies that belong to Texas. There is no shortage of marketable agricultural products produced in Texas, and at the same time, it has absorbed the service industry migrated from the once economically strong state, allowing the entire state's economy to grow rapidly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than changing the partner, but the effect is indeed very good.This probably also shows that all beliefs in this era are linked to interests.

In short, Neeson Mountbatten has made the lives of most people in Texas more comfortable, and his approval rate here is naturally higher.

As for the other places that have declined in the past ten years, it is to blame for the rise of Huaxia, not him.If you must blame him, you have to be like that well-known social activist, and it is best not to set foot on the border of Texas in this life.

Along with the booming economy in Texas, the population has also shown an explosive growth trend in the past five years.

In addition to the increase in births, there are also many people moving to Texas from other states.The capital city, Austin and Houston, are the most popular cities, and there are many towns with manpower needs, which also attract many immigrants.The latest census shows that the permanent residents of Texas have reached more than 4900 million, which is close to one-sixth of the current total population of the United States.

The rapid increase of population often brings many social problems, but the chaos does not seem to appear in Texas.In the eyes of the Texans, it is also due to Neeson Mountbatten.

Also five years ago, under the initiative of Neeson Mountbatten, Texas began to implement the population protection policy.

To put it simply, countless private companies and departments instilled the principle of the importance of population immigration in the space age, and relied on the relatively wealthy state finances at that time to implement a series of collective actions such as all-round relief to the poor in addition to direct money.

Administratively, the government and private companies funded a full range of police and fire services for impoverished neighborhoods, and hired enough police officers with high salaries to ensure social stability in impoverished areas.Count all homeless people in the entire state and provide them with various reemployment assistance, including but not limited to the state government negotiating with banks to help them cancel a series of debts at the lowest cost.

For homeless people who have skills and are willing to accept re-employment, they will be provided with long-term housing free of rent for one to five years to give them a chance to make a comeback. Even if there are bankrupts who are involved in lawsuits, the state government will help them with lawsuits. If you go out of state, you can even avoid lawsuits.As long as they are in Texas, the government guarantees their basic rights to a stable life and employment.

Of course, enjoying these rights comes at a price.

All those who are helped must sign a cooperation agreement, and the future space age will become a member of the pioneers.For this reason, they have to take one day a week to receive training, have a physical examination every year, and even guarantee to conceive offspring within the specified time, and accept the offspring to study in designated public schools...

If you don't want to, it's okay, you will be sentenced to be expelled from Texas directly, and go wherever you like.

The funds invested by private companies that cooperate with the government will also receive corresponding benefits according to the future choices of these people.To put it simply, it is still the same thing, but for this era of vigorous development of the alien exploration business, there are many companies that believe in this kind of big cake, and this is enough.

After all, companies that can be included in the cooperation with the government to encourage the development of residents are often the first to make a fortune in the stock market.As for whether this set of gameplay will lead to a collapse in the future, it depends on the development of the human space program.If there is a major setback, it may indeed collapse, because it means that these human resources may not be worth paying now in the future.

But judging from the current situation, most people are still extremely optimistic.

In any case, after the implementation of this set of policies, it is enough to keep the two-way growth of population quantity and quality in Texas, and the society is relatively stable.

Correspondingly, Neeson Mountbatten, who proposed and promoted these reforms, has also become the spiritual idol of countless residents living in Texas.

More than a decade ago, when Neeson Mountbatten first accepted the governor's invitation to attend a dinner at town hall, he returned excited to get a peek into the lives of the wealthy.But today, every governor has to visit him first on his first day in office. After all, being a governor requires the support of Neeson Mountbatten, and being a good governor requires the support of Neeson Mountbatten even more.

What else can we do?

80.00% of the members of the State Assembly are following the lead of Neeson Mountbatten, and at least 20.00% of the remaining 80.00% disagree with Neeson Mountbatten on the surface, but they are actually standing on the same front in secret.

The heads of police stations and administrative agencies all over the country have a good relationship with Neeson Mountbatten, and even 90.00% believe in the God of Light.Not to mention whether the governor has the courage to replace all these responsible persons, even if he really has the ability to replace all of them, most of the people below also only obey Neeson Mountbatten.

Not to mention that Neeson Mountbatten also controls the only company in the United States that has a franchise issued by China to purchase N-series robots.After all, in order to develop industry in this era, N-series robots are almost unavoidable necessary products...

It is said that many states in the United States are now looking forward to the Texas business model, and even took to the streets to invite Neeson Mountbatten to lead them on the Texas road.

Every time something like this happens, it will be reported to the local media in Texas as soon as possible.

Various videos and copywriting on Twitter were then put on TV and spread to thousands of households...

"Hey, look, our beloved Mr. Mountbatten is being pursued by a group of people again..."

At this time, such a holographic video was playing in Neeson Mountbatten's office.It was the scene of countless New York state citizens taking to the streets, countless people wearing T-shirts with his face printed on them, and many people waving the state flag of Texas, even next to the star of the state flag, there is also printed Added Neeson Mountbatten's avatar.

Neeson Mountbatten looked at the scene in the holographic video, with a modest and shy smile on his face, after all, he couldn't help asking the people around him: "Hey, tell me, how did I succeed in doing this? Where is it?"

Yoshida Notake stared blankly at everything in the holographic screen in front of him.

Of course he didn't want to watch these boring things, but he couldn't help it, he was tied up facing the holographic screen, and he couldn't even close his eyes.Because the burly black man next to him would always find a way to make him feel enough pain to wake him up whenever he showed any resistance.

If he could, he really wanted to end his life, even went on hunger strike.

But these two people in front of them are devils.They didn't even care whether he ate or not. After letting him swallow a biochip, every time he felt weak to a certain extent, they tied him up and provided him with the nutrition he needed through infusion.It is said that this is the latest nutritional substance specially formulated for him, and it is very expensive.

It's brutal.

The feeling of hunger and dryness is always there, but it is impossible for him to die of starvation or thirst.

What was even more frightening was that Neeson Mountbatten and the black man beside him would eat in front of him every day.

They are all delicacies with a strong aroma, such as pan-fried steak, creamy mushroom soup, French fried foie gras, seafood hot pot...

Just now, he finally gave in...

He was allowed to lie down on the ground and gnaw a spare rib with a large piece of meat hanging on it. Really, he felt that it was a delicacy that he had never tried in his life, which made him even want to chew all the bones and swallow it. Go down...but no, because the bones are too hard.

But unfortunately, he only took one bite.

In the words of the devil opposite the hologram, it's for the sake of his stomach.His stomach, which has been hungry for 103 hours, is at its weakest. It is just right to eat such a piece of meat. If he eats more, his stomach will not be able to digest it...

"Archbishop Mountbatten is asking you something, Mr. Yoshida, today's dinner is a special steak in Texas. If you still want to taste that delicious and juicy steak, I suggest you think carefully and answer Archbishop Mountbatten's question seriously."

"Mr. Mountbatten's success is of course because of..." Yoshida Notake said weakly, but the hunger that pierced his will made him completely unable to concentrate. The deliciousness of root ribs...

"Because I chose the right master, Yoshida, the choice is really important to a person. More than ten years ago, my nickname was cockroach. You know? At that time, the so-called big men would not look at me at all , even gave me a look, I have to be grateful. But now, I have become a big shot in their eyes. Is it because I work hard enough? No, no, it is my master who works hard enough, and I am allowed to sit back and enjoy it. Life . . . is about choice."

Neeson Mountbatten lit a cigar, put his feet on his custom-made expensive desk without any image, and while shaking those big feet, he explained to Yoshida Notake slowly.

"Yes, yes, yes, choice is very important." Yoshida Notake responded weakly.

The human spirit and will are a very strange thing.

Although Yoshida Notake was still determined to die half an hour ago, when he lay down to chew on the bone, his spirit suddenly loosened.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to die at all...

He still wants to enjoy the delicious food just now, and even hopes to continue enjoying it forever.

"So, your choice is wrong, Mr. Yoshida. You could have been respected and enjoyed all the good things like me, why bother to make yourself like this?"

"Yes, you are right, Mr. Mountbatten, please give me another chance to choose."

"Haha, okay, my request is not high, as long as you record a video and confess all the people involved in the attack. You know, my master believes in different principles than me, and they even I like to do things in an upright manner. This is a Chinese idiom, let me think about what it is? By the way, it is famous for being a teacher...

Of course, I can give you some hints, you can enlarge the video as much as possible when recording.Name all of your allies, all those who have supported you, who have been in contact with you, preferably those who are rich... Well, anyway, this is an attack carefully planned by you, right? "

Hearing the hint enough to call it explicit, Yoshida Notake was silent for a moment, then licked his lips and asked, "If I follow through, will I be able to live a good life?"

"No, no, Mr. Yoshida, please don't insult yourself! The master's anger needs to be vented, and of course you can't live. But I can guarantee that you can die with dignity. You don't have to suffer any pain before you die, and you can even enjoy Super-standard food, or satisfying everything you want before you close your eyes, instead of living like a dog like now... You can think about it again, there are not many people who are as kind as me! "
