Chapter 1430 People Who Can't Keep up with the Times
Those people who can't keep up with the times mentioned by original sin, those who don't like the fast-changing times, do these people exist in this world? Of course it exists! And there are a lot of them. This group of people is not a minority.
In fact, in this world, many people hate this era because of various problems. Their composition is very complex. Not only are some people unable to keep up with the new era because they are slow to learn, but there are also many people who are essentially resisting the arrival of this new era.
For example, those former members of the Hellfire Club, those former oligarchs in the traditional energy industry, and many former vested interests in those traditional industries. The new era created by Li Jie and others is a complete reshuffle for the entire earth.
Many once brilliant and even monopoly large enterprises have been eliminated, while many new industries have begun to flourish. Because the advent of the new era has broken the traditional inherent class. The former elite class is not necessarily the elite class in the new era. And the traditional civilian class does not necessarily lose its upward channels.
For most people, the misery and suffering of life is not because of how hard life is and how much effort is required. But after no matter how much hard work and no amount of hardships, there is still no hope of improvement. Grandpa is a tinkerer, son is a tinkerer, grandson is a tinkerer. Some people may say that this is a craftsman spirit that has been passed down for three generations, but why not look at it from another angle? Perhaps it is because of the solidification of social classes, no matter how hard the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren work hard, they cannot break away from the stereotype. They are working hard, and they can only be tinkerers throughout their lives.
And this kind of class solidification has actually been obvious in the developed countries in the past. The education system of many countries in Europe and the United States has cut off the way for poor children to rise. Two countries in East Asia and South Korea are also very obvious examples.
Because of the spread of cool culture, Toyo uses various ACG products to promote their own culture to the world. At the same time, there are countless young people yearning for Dongyang because of these works, but many of them don't know that Dongyang is a country where the class is so solidified that it is so depressing that you want to commit suicide. As Li Jie once said to the leaders of the Illuminati: "The more suffering human beings are, the more they will display their entertainment spirit, and use various entertainment methods to make life less difficult."
Perhaps Dongyang was caught by Li Jie's statement in a certain aspect. Because of the oppression and solidification of this society, maybe those who work as waiters can only be waiters all their lives, and car washers will be car washers all their lives. They dare not make mistakes in a solidified society. Because of the solidification of social classes, there are only these positions. Once kicked out of this position, it is very likely that they will no longer be able to become [mainstream social personnel].
The same is true for South Korea. Many Western media in Europe and the United States have sprayed China's college entrance examination system in 360 degrees without dead ends. But few people know that South Korea's college entrance examination is more cruel and bloody than China's. Because in the country of South Korea, what university you go to has already determined your future social status.
Only outstanding students who are close to the top three universities in the country will have the opportunity to enter the Samsung Group after graduation. The Samsung Group is a super enterprise that almost monopolizes most of South Korea's economy, from electronics to communications to shipbuilding, steelmaking and so on. Samsung is involved in almost every industry you can think of. And in South Korea, Samsung Group is the leading giant in these industries. All other small companies need to live on the breath of the Samsung Group. Samsung Group naturally has an aura of looking down on other small companies.
In South Korean society, the white-collar employees of the Samsung Group are higher than the white-collar employees of other small companies, which is a real superiority. In order to enter the Samsung Group, all students have to sharpen their heads and do their best. Because once you enter a small company as a small employee, you will basically not be able to get ahead in this life.
Such class solidification was everywhere on Earth a few years ago. This kind of class solidification makes people feel that the air is so suffocating, and it feels like the whole society is bound by invisible shackles. Every day, you can only forget the difficulties in life by indulging in various entertainment such as games, novels and movies.
The birth of Li Jie and others led to huge changes in the whole society. What used to be high-tech is no longer high-tech, and the resources that were once monopolized by the rich and the super-big companies have become waste paper. At that moment, whether the poor or the rich, whether it is a large enterprise or a small enterprise, they are all standing on the same starting line to some extent.
Just like China, where the global auto market has been dominated by European, American, Japanese and Korean auto companies for nearly 30 years, because Tony Stark’s low-cost authorization of suspension core technology and low-cost transfer strategy of production lines have made many Chinese auto companies in the core of the car For the first time in the three major parts, it stood on the same starting line as global car companies.
Therefore, Chinese auto companies have played their usual practice, using the same three major parts at the same price, and we will pile up the configuration vigorously. Cars with the same price, you use a nine-inch screen, we use a twelve-inch screen! While your interiors use hard plastics, we all use soft materials. You can add 10,000 yuan to have a panoramic sunroof, and we directly provide it as standard.
And because the suspension car is a brand-new technology, the so-called excellent assembly process in the past cannot be fully inherited on this new car body. Everyone is also standing on the same starting line, and there are basically places where there should be abnormal noises. Unless you buy the very, very expensive original suspension car sold by the Stark Group itself.
Because of this, not only in China, but also in many countries, auto companies suddenly overtook on corners. Many little-known small businesses stand out in this big wave. The advantages of traditional large car companies still exist, but they are not so obvious anymore. In many cases, it may be more appropriate to buy a new brand of car at the same price. Buying those traditional brand cars, many of them may become a kind of belief bonus. It's the same as those who shout "Sony Dafa is good" and "Nintendo Zelda is the best in the world" every day.
And because their own interests have been touched, or even deeply hurt, there are actually many more people who are dissatisfied with the new era than imagined. These people cannot be solved by how many training schools Li Jie and Tony have opened so that migrant workers can learn to drive engineering mechs.
The fact that these people have not made a sound does not mean that they are convinced and satisfied with this era, just because they no longer have the right to make a sound after being eliminated. But today these frustrated people gathered inexplicably. In New York, Tokyo, and Shanghai, many people took to the streets inexplicably. A riot that no one expected is about to erupt.
