"Future Citizen"

Chapter 27
"After noon, the autumn wind is getting colder. Find a place to have a cup of hot coffee." Mr. Bell suggested.

"Okay. Let me pick a public welfare coffee shop for you. Their coffee was very famous in L city for many years. Now it has expanded its scale. As a public welfare place, it has been providing free coffee to L citizens for almost two months. It is," Lane said.

"Oh? The coffee beans, coffee machine, cups, paintings and furnishings should all sell well, right?" Bell smiled at Ryan.

"Ha, you are really good, and you know so much about business models. That's right, after industry integration, the terminals of coffee-related industries have all been integrated into all charity cafes. Every charity cafe no longer mainly relies on selling drinks. Instead, it has become a one-stop integration place for coffee industry culture and related products while gathering more people to stay and interact for leisure. The vertical industrial chain of the upstream and downstream of this industry has been fully included and is under the control of two leading companies , they compete with each other in a healthy way, and jointly provide the public with higher-quality products and services. For the public, they can taste any kind of coffee, and all of them are free, but they are limited to one cup per day. Which one to drink, think If you want to drink a few more cups on the same day or want to buy your own coffee beans and their supporting products, etc., you can consume them separately according to your personal needs. This depends on each person's different pursuit of quality of life and the completion of various tasks through their own abilities It depends on the situation that brings income." Ryan looked at the distance where the sea and the sky meet, and said with a smile.

"It's really good. I think it must be like this. I just went to observe and feel it." Mr. Bell was full of interest.

"Let's go!" The two turned around at the same time and walked down the mountain.

After about half an hour's drive, we arrived at our destination.After each parked their cars, the two walked to the door of the Charity Cafe together.

"Oh? I'm not mistaken! Such a large-scale cafe? This place turned out to be a large shopping mall, right?" Bell was a little surprised.

"Yes, you have really good eyesight. This place was indeed a big shopping mall, and it was also a big shopping mall that was hit by online e-commerce and was on the verge of bankruptcy. After the industry integration of the pilot cities during the [National People] reform and transition period, this building The upper part of the store has been transformed into a public welfare cafe where people gather, and the lower part is still a sales area for products of various industries similar to shopping malls, but the single stores of various related products are directly owned by leading companies in the industry and have expanded a lot. Large-scale, the original small individual businesses have been merged, and almost every industry has done vertical integration and terminal unified management. The industry standards are uniform, and there are no middlemen, and the quality is guaranteed. The cost has been greatly reduced, allowing the public to enjoy the real high quality and low price. Moreover, the car maintenance function of the underground parking lot from car washing to maintenance has also been enlarged. Everyone can shop or drink coffee in a lot of free time. At present This building has been renamed [One-stop Life], there are many similar places in L City, and the life of the citizens is more refined and convenient." Ryan introduced it patiently, while beckoning Mr. Bell to enter the room.

"There are quite a lot of people here. Have all the nearby people come here?" Bell couldn't help sighing when he entered the door and saw the crowd.

"Well, people who have been working for a long time are no longer fixed. By constantly accepting various tasks, your circle of friends is no longer limited. Every time you complete a task, you will contact and make new friends. Now It is easier for people to get acquainted with each other, and the speed of communication about any thing has also been greatly improved. Once one person comes, many people soon follow. What kind of product Or as long as someone has experienced the service and the quality is indeed excellent, the source of customers will not be a problem. And you see, all the stairs, escalators and straight elevators on each floor here are designed to see all the sales areas. People from the bottom And when you go up or down, you can easily find a place where your needs can be met. Go this way, and we will take the straight ladder to the cafe." Ryan pointed the direction and took Bell up the straight ladder.

"Haha, it's good to go straight." Mr. Bell laughed heartily, "I'm getting old, and my legs were a little weak when I went up and down the mountain just now."

Going up the straight ladder, Bell looked through the transparent car walls and looked around at the surrounding crowd. He suddenly wanted to say something to Ryan, but he hesitated.

The elevator door opened and the two walked out.The open-style high-rise cafe was displayed in front of them. It was crowded with people and had a great atmosphere.The entire top of the tall and open space is a transparent light roof, which blocks the cold wind outside, but fills the entire cafe with warm sunlight.

A number of male and female waiters of different ages and dressed in uniforms greeted the guests at the elevator entrance. One of the young girls greeted Ryan and Bell, took them through the tables full of people, and served them Found a seat not far from the bar.On the way from the elevator entrance to the seat, Mr. Bell asked some basic information about the girl. She is a college student in a nearby university and has accepted an afternoon job as a waitress in a charity coffee shop and is completing it.

Ryan still had the same latte, and Mr. Bell ordered a glass of Campbell.

After the waiter confirmed the order on the screen on the table, she turned and left with a smile. She walked to the long bar, where she would witness the barista making the two cups of coffee, learning while waiting for the coffee to be finished , served to the guests.At the same time, Ryan and Bell can also witness the birth of these two cups of coffee through the screen on the desktop.

Ryan took out the mobile phone in his arms and replied to the unanswered messages from the office.After carefully looking around the surrounding environment and the crowd, Mr. Bell stayed on the screen on the table in front of him, watching the coffee making process, as if he was watching a vivid and unique performance.

"Oh? Brother Ryan, look, why does this barista look familiar?" Bell stroked his beard, thinking hard, as if the name was on his lips.

Bell's words made Ryan put down his phone, and he also looked at the barista on the desktop screen.

"Oh, it's Mr. Snake, a legend in the IT industry in L City. His conglomerate went public in China many years ago." Ryan said lightly.

"What? I heard it wrong, or my brother said it wrong, how could he work here?" Bell's eyes, which had been squinting all the time, slightly enlarged.

"It's normal." Ryan was still indifferent, "Call him over for a while, and listen to what he has to say."

After a while, the waitress girl brought over the two cups of coffee that had just been made. After the two exquisite and unique coffee cups were placed on the table, Ryan asked her to tell the barista who just made the two cups of coffee to come and sit down.The girl nodded with a smile.

The girl walked back to the bar again, and Ryan and Bell followed her to Mr. Snake. After she told Ryan's words, Snake looked in Ryan's direction. He recognized Ryan and nodded. After a while, walk towards the exit of the bar.

Wearing a barista uniform and a dark brown apron, Mr. Snake came to the seats of Ryan and Bell. He shook hands with Ryan, and Ryan introduced him and Mr. Bell.The three sat down again.

"Mr. Snake," Bell said, "remember? We met at the national information security conference, it was a long time ago, and I was surprised to see you making coffee on this desktop screen just now , I didn't dare to admit it for a while. You are..."

"Oh, hehe," Snake laughed before Bell finished speaking, "Personal hobbies, very fond of... When I was young and just started my business, I also opened a coffee shop and liked to make my own coffee, and I also like coffee. Enjoy the feeling when the guests love every cup of coffee I make. After so many years of starting a business, there are many things every day, and I don’t have time to do this thing I like. Now through the [All People] system, I suddenly realize what I want to do Hobbies have become very convenient. And now our group continues to release various tasks through the [All People] system, and has absorbed many IT technical elites and management talents from previous peer companies. It is easier to do things, and I don’t have to worry about it Worry about the business and have a lot of personal time.”

"I see, haha, that's great!" Bell felt instantly relieved after hearing Snake's words, and also felt that he was really happy to be able to have sex freely.

"How are you doing recently? Brother Ryan, is everything progressing more or less, is it a lot easier than it was at the beginning?" Snake turned to Ryan and asked with concern.

"Thanks to my brothers, everything is going well. I am very grateful for everyone's hard work." Ryan picked up the latte in front of him and took a sip carefully. The milk foam soaked in his mouth spread on his tongue , Full of mellow taste. "Your craftsmanship is really amazing. I only drink latte for coffee. Your skill in making this latte is extraordinary..." Ryan was full of praise.

"I like it? I come here often. This public welfare cafe is relatively close to our group, and it is more convenient for me to come here. Didn't I just accept the task of the barista here for a month, and I will be here every afternoon recently. If I have time, I will come here more often." Sit down and look forward to your visit." Usually a bit rigid IT expert Snake, in such an atmosphere involving his personal hobbies, seemed extraordinarily excited, cordial and active.

"How do you like it here?" Lane turned to Mr. Bell.

"Very good, but..." Bell put down the coffee cup in his hand, "It's just that I have a very strange feeling, why everyone I see seems to be in the same state, everyone is happy, and I don't even feel that there is anything wrong What about social status and the gap between rich and poor?"

Ryan and Snake looked at each other and smiled after listening.Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Snake said: "Mr. Bell, you are very perceptive and right. This is one of the feelings of a new life that the people of our city L first experienced: Although everyone has their own differences The role of talent and social division of labor, and due to the differences in personal choices, contributions and commitments, etc. over the years, there must be a certain so-called gap between the rich and the poor at this point in time. But the new way of life makes everyone different in many ways. The same treatment, such as free choice, equal opportunities, and living the life you want with your own true ability, etc. In such an atmosphere, only talent and hard work can make a person richer and richer, not self-motivated or lazy People, even if they have some wealth temporarily, will eventually be surpassed by those who continue to improve and improve themselves. In other words, as long as everyone works hard enough, everyone’s life will not be too different. Especially when everyone Once you have lived the kind of life you want, it doesn't matter how you compare the content of your life. There is no difference between different pursuits and attainments. Everyone is realizing their own goals. The value of life, living the kind of life you want, each has its own splendor, each has its own enjoyment. Just like the joy of making coffee, it is definitely not less than the happiness of another person who wants to drive a luxury car and realizes his wish .Look at the people around us, everyone is living happily, the same."

The three of them turned their heads to look at the crowd at the same time. That’s right, there must be rich and poor for the time being. This is related to everyone’s past choices, efforts, efforts and commitments, etc. It is understandable; but there is no difference between people. , equal opportunities, and free choice, it depends on whether each person has the ability and ability to match their own needs.For the realization of a goal, a person can learn what he feels lacking; if he doesn't want to learn or can't learn, he can choose to live another life he wants.No matter what people want, they are free to pursue separately; people will not lack what they want, and there will be no lack of what they don't want.The so-called rich and poor may still exist, but it is no longer important. No one will think that this is a gap.
