I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 503 The best way to develop is to plagiarize
“Oh, shit!”

"Shit!"

"These greedy vampires must be notifying us of another electricity price increase."

Powell looked at the letter he received and the label of the power company on it, and he couldn't help but curse.

He couldn't even remember how many times the electricity price had been increased over the years.

The electricity price has increased fivefold from the initial 0.3 euros per kilowatt-hour to the current 1.5 euros per kilowatt-hour.

Every time I receive a letter from the power company, it is usually a notice of price increase or a notice urging payment of electricity bills. In short, it is nothing good.

The continuous increase in electricity prices has also caused everyone to complain, especially now that the economic situation is severe and the unemployment rate is high. Not only has everyone's income not increased, but it has continued to decline.

The expensive electricity bills have become a heavy burden on everyone.

For this reason, everyone complained and protested to the power company, but to no avail.

Even the power company started to cut off power to everyone due to power shortage, which made everyone even more dissatisfied.

But there is no way to deal with the dissatisfaction, as the national conditions here are unique.

You can be dissatisfied and you can express your dissatisfaction, this is your freedom, but that's all. The electricity company will continue to raise prices, and if you think it is expensive, you don't have to use it.

Powell opened the letter and read its contents carefully.

"Oh, God!"

“Has the sun risen from the west?”

"These greedy vampires don't suck blood anymore?"

"It turned out to be a price reduction notice, the electricity price dropped from 1.5 euros per kWh to 1.3 euros per kWh!"

When he saw the notice of price reduction, he found it a little hard to believe. After all, these greedy vampires have always been insatiable and they can't wait to lie on everyone and suck their blood.

Now, for the first time ever, the price has started to drop, and it has dropped by 0.2 euros per kilowatt-hour, which is a huge drop.

"And there will be no more power cuts in the future. Will 24-hour power supply be restored?"

When Powell saw this, he immediately started thinking.

“Where do they get the electricity?”

"Hasn't it been said that there is a severe power shortage?"

"Is there a large and sufficient supply of electricity all of a sudden?"

Powell shook his head without thinking too much.

Anyway, the drop in electricity prices is a good thing for everyone, and it is enough to be able to reduce expenses.

It doesn’t matter where the electricity comes from, and there is no need to care, as long as it is cheaper.

Like Powell, the vast majority of ordinary people don't care where the electricity comes from.

All we know is that electricity prices have gone down and there will be no more power outages. So our electricity bills will be lower, and at the same time, our lives will not be affected by power outages. That’s enough.

As for where this electricity comes from, it doesn't matter and no one cares.

Only a few elites will study this thing.

When they learned that the electricity came from Blue Star Space Energy Group, they felt deeply uneasy and worried.

Everyone knows the importance of electricity, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Once you become heavily dependent on external electricity in the long term, it is tantamount to handing your economic lifeline over to the other party, who can strangle you if they want.

And it's the kind that can completely paralyze you in an instant due to power outage.

These elites know the capitalists too well. As long as there is a cheap source of electricity and they can make several times the profit by reselling it, these capitalists will never work hard to build and generate power plants themselves.

They will even gradually shut down a large number of power stations that have exceeded their service life to save as much money as possible.

Once that time comes, when we can no longer generate electricity and all electricity has to be imported from outside, it is tantamount to handing our lifeline into the hands of outsiders. We will become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

These elites have repeatedly called for attention to this matter and elaborated on the interests involved.

However, no one paid any attention to them.

Because at this moment, everyone has access to cheap and sufficient electricity, which is enough.

For ordinary people, generating their own electricity?

Generating your own electricity is not only more expensive, but you will also be subject to frequent power outages. How can you tell me that you can generate your own electricity?
You should try your best to prove yourself by developing advanced power generation and transmission technologies like others, and provide cheap and sufficient electricity for everyone. We ordinary people will definitely strongly support this.

If not, why should we pay more for it?

As for the future, who can know what will happen?
The voices of these elites went unheeded and were gradually drowned out by the tide.

Somewhere in Africa.

Accompanied by the cheers of countless people, the lights in the city lit up one after another.

People celebrated with singing and dancing, turned up the volume of the speakers to the maximum, and held hands in a joyful dance.

There has always been a power shortage in the area, a serious power shortage.

One reason is that the local area is poor and there is no extra money to build a power station. The investment in a power station is nothing for a rich country, but it is a huge investment for a poor place.

Especially when you have to import even a screw or a wire from foreign countries, you will know how expensive it is to build this power station.

Another reason is that the major developed regions have now completed industrialization. Everyone has joined together to use electricity to block the way for latecomers. Ordinary thermal power generation equipment is basically no longer exported.

Some places don't actually need too large thermal power generation equipment, small or medium-sized ones will suffice.

But now even supercritical power generating units are not exported, and we won’t sell them to you even if you have money.

What do you use to build a power station?
On your own?

This is simply unrealistic for many regions. There are not enough engineering talents in the local area, nor complete supporting industries, and it is impossible to produce power generation equipment by themselves.

It is only enough to buy, but others are not selling now. This move alone will directly lock the development of these regions, making it impossible for these regions to ever achieve true industrialization.

They can only maintain their economy by selling mineral resources, agricultural products, and breeding, and will always be fleeced by others with industrial scissors.

This is also the real reason why it is difficult for latecomers to get ahead.

Just like us back then, we bought other people’s equipment and were cheated out of a lot of our hard-earned money.

When you buy a machine, you must buy a heat sink. The heat sink is made of some iron sheets and has no technical content, but you are forced to buy it, and the price is several thousand US dollars.

In the 100s, when the average wage was only over yuan, a heat sink would cost you several thousand dollars.

There are countless cases like this, and I don’t know how many there are.

We were also cheated and ripped off along the way, and we developed slowly with countless blood, sweat and resources.

Now they don’t need to spend huge amounts of money to build power stations. They just need to buy some receivers, and local areas can receive a steady supply of electricity from space.

For many people in Asia, Africa and Latin America, this is simply irresistible.

Cheap and abundant electricity, and they don’t need to invest in large-scale power stations. It’s such a good thing that there is such a thing in the world.

Therefore, the business of Blue Star Space Energy Group has been promoted very smoothly in these areas.

Vaughn stood on the city hall building and looked at the city lit up by lights, a smile on his face.

“Finally there’s electricity!”

"If we solve the electricity problem, there will be hope for our development. We can undertake industrial transfer from developed regions."

"Although we are a landlocked country, it is now very convenient for anti-gravity aircraft to travel here and there. We have abundant and cheap labor, and now we have solved the problem of electricity."

"We can start with low-end labor-intensive industries, such as clothing, shoes, toys, etc., and then develop step by step. In the future, our country will surely develop and become prosperous."

Vaughan is confident.

As an elite who went to study in Europe and the United States, received a good elite education and deeply loves his country.

He has always been thinking about the development path of his country and wants to lead his hometown to develop and become prosperous.

However, the reality is cruel.

He is already over fifty years old and has devoted his youth and passion to this land, but he still cannot see any development.

There is little real difference here from a few decades ago.

The same backwardness and poverty!
He has traveled to many places to seek Buddhist knowledge, and has been to the Eastern Divine Land several times.

He was fascinated by the development of Eastern China.

Because every time he goes there, he will have new feelings. He vaguely remembers that the first time he went to Dongfang Shenzhou was in the late 90s.

At that time, he felt that although Eastern China was developing rapidly, it was still poor and backward. Of course, that was only compared with developed areas, and it was definitely much, much better than his hometown.

At that time in China, people were still poor and traveled mainly by motorcycle. Cars were only affordable for the truly wealthy. The average wage per capita was only more than 100 yuan.

People are generally dressed in rags and are relatively thin, and urban development is still far from adequate.

Ten years later, in the 00s, he went to China again.

This time he had a very different feeling. The city was more beautiful and the industry was more developed.

All kinds of goods can be bought, although the quality is not very good and high-tech products are still not available, but overall, they have developed quite well.

Per capita income has also increased significantly, and more and more ordinary people are starting to drive cars.

In the 10s, he went to China for the third time.

This time it gave him a great shock.

The urban construction is already very beautiful, and each city is even more beautiful and prosperous than those in Europe and the United States.

The streets and alleys are crowded with cars. Cars have become fully popular among ordinary people, and the rural areas have also taken on a new look.

Even the most remote mountainous areas are now paved with cement roads. The old mud houses have disappeared and have been replaced by houses made of reinforced concrete.

At the same time, in the industrial field, they have become the world's largest industrial region, capable of producing almost all products, and have also made great achievements in the high-tech and high-tech fields, and are able to produce products with higher technological content.

Last year, he went to Shenzhou for the fourth time.

This time he saw a completely different world.

Anti-gravity aircraft flying all over the sky, neatly planned immigrant towns like a dream, cozy and peaceful rural areas, highly developed industries, a large number of high-tech companies, virtual industries, anti-gravity aircraft industries, biopharmaceutical industries, interstellar mining, etc.

When the lives of local people have undergone tremendous changes, the average monthly income of local people has exceeded 1 yuan, which is about three times that of developed regions such as Europe and the United States.

Moreover, local prices are extremely cheap, whether it is industrial products or vegetables and fruits, etc., they are all very cheap, and the locals live an extremely happy life.

His several trips to China gave him deep feelings and experiences.

He dreamed countless times that his hometown could be like China, starting from the simplest fields step by step and slowly developing and becoming prosperous.

In just a few decades, it has developed from a poor and backward region into a developed and prosperous region.

To this end, he began to study Chinese seriously more than ten years ago. Now he can speak fluent Mandarin, write beautiful Chinese characters, and read many books.

He studied hard and carefully summarized the development path of Eastern China, hoping to find experiences and lessons that could be applied to his hometown.

However, reality slapped him hard many times.

He wanted to develop labor-intensive industries, but found out that his hometown was a landlocked country and travel was very inconvenient. There was no cheap water transportation, and its own railways and kilometers were not sufficient.

No one is willing to come and invest. We can’t even make the most basic clothes and shoes because the raw materials have to be imported and money is a big problem.

Then he thought about learning from China and developing some heavy industry, such as steel, cement, etc., so as to lay a solid foundation and pave the way for subsequent development.

As a result, electricity became a problem again.

Local electricity is extremely scarce and the power generation capacity is seriously insufficient. Not to mention meeting the needs of industrial development, even the electricity needs of ordinary residents cannot be guaranteed.

I wanted to generate electricity, but I found out that I didn’t even have the money to buy power generation equipment. Even if I did, I couldn’t even buy the equipment.

It's like being trapped in a vicious circle. No matter how hard you try, you can never break the shackles of fate. You can never develop, and you will always lag behind and be poor.

No matter how hard you try, you will sadly find that all your efforts are in vain.

Even if the electricity and transportation problems are solved, it is not easy to develop labor-intensive industries.

There are many such places around the world, and there are also many places with cheap labor.

You have to be able to get through these places.

Why has Eastern China been able to develop?
This is inseparable from their hard work. For the sake of their families, children and a better life, they can work in the factory for more than ten hours a day all year round without a break.

How many places in the world can people be like this?

People in many places live for the moment. As soon as they get their salary, they basically spend it on drinking and partying. They will never come back to work until they spend all their money.

Do you think this can develop?
Others know how to live a hard life, save money to do big things, invest money in education, buy equipment and technology, and gradually become stronger and more advanced.

But you spend your money on wine and women, spending every bit of it. You never accumulate anything. Without accumulation, how can you develop?
You can't seize the opportunity when it's given to you.

The same is true for ordinary people.

You should have savings in your hands so that when you encounter an opportunity, such as a good investment project, you will have money to invest. Maybe you can develop by relying on this project.

For example, you can start as a small boss, then slowly grow bigger, accumulate more money and switch to a bigger and more profitable business.

Vaughn looked at the brightening city and hope rekindled in his heart.

He believed that as long as there was electricity, coupled with the convenient transportation brought by anti-gravity aircraft, his hometown would definitely be able to develop.

There is abundant and cheap labor here.

The lowest wage in Eastern Shenzhou is now over 4000 rabbit gold, but here you can recruit workers for only 100 or 200 rabbit gold, which is very cheap.

He believed that as long as he worked hard enough and continued to attract investment, he would be able to attract people to invest and build factories here.

I want to follow the path that Eastern China has taken.

We should first develop labor-intensive industries with abundant and cheap labor, exploit resources and minerals in exchange for foreign exchange, and use the precious foreign exchange to purchase equipment and technology. At the same time, we should attach importance to education, popularize and promote education, and cultivate engineering talents.

He believed that as long as he followed this path, his hometown would gradually develop and become prosperous.

But soon he got a headache.

I have a headache about the electricity bill.

Blue Star Space Energy Group's electricity is cheap and abundant, and it does not need to invest large amounts of money to build power stations to generate electricity.

But you need Rabbit Gold to buy it, and they only accept Rabbit Gold.

So Vaughan is now having a headache, worrying about how to get more foreign exchange, more rabbit gold to pay the electricity bill and have money to buy equipment and develop industry.

"Headache!"

He couldn't help rubbing his temple.

This is the world.

People who are truly wholeheartedly committed to developing their hometown are very tired. They live a very tiring, very exhausting, and hard life.

Because they always need to think about many, many things and ponder many, many problems.

I always want to develop my hometown quickly.

Such people are great, but they also work very hard and are often the most miserable people.

However, whether it is as small as a family or as large as a country, if you want to become truly strong, you need a large number of such talents.

"I will take a group to visit and learn from the Eastern Divine Land in the near future."

"And by the way, see if I can attract some investment to come to my hometown."

Vaughn thought quickly in his mind.

This place is really poor and has nothing. Although there is electricity now, the electricity bill gives him a headache.

Because there is no rabbit gold in hand at all.

There are so many places where rabbit gold is needed.

Anti-gravity aircraft, virtual machines, virtual worlds, purchase of medicines and luxury goods for local wealthy people, etc., have all cost too much foreign exchange.

The foreign exchange earned from a few mineral resources is simply not enough.

"Rabbit gold, rabbit gold, it would be great if we could discover some valuable minerals."

“Mining is no longer profitable.”

Vaughn rubbed his head again, feeling a severe headache.

In the past, mineral resources were still worth some money, but now with the large-scale mining of lunar mineral resources, the price of mineral resources has plummeted for several years, and it is no longer profitable to sell minerals.

Even the richest people in the world who only have a piece of cloth on their heads are having a headache about selling oil.

He looked at the crowds dancing and singing on the city streets. They were so happy. It was just a little electricity, and there was still a long way to go.
