Chapter 780: The Mudslide of the Times
It has been half a year since the arrival of the new era.
Every time I return to the ancient city, even Lu Pingan will lament that everything in front of me is changing too fast
"This is not the 1998 I remember."
The influx of a large number of foreign visitors brought new technologies, new ideas and even new toys. Lu Ping'an's encounter was not a special case. The traffic police brigade that had just stepped out was already full of strange things.
"The world is changing too fast, and the laws and local people's ideas have not kept up."
Along the way, Lu Pingan has seen shopkeepers on the side of the road more than once, and shook his head at the "alien" who was applying for a job, and he did not know how many related disputes he had to deal with.
Some of them want to pay debts to get goods (to get food), and some want to find a job first, but let alone local qualifications and skills licenses, most of them can't even speak the local language well.
"Hello", "Give me a job", "Borrow some money", these extremely simple Dongguo "words" are what they say the most, and they are also the most prone to disputes.
To be honest, at the beginning, local merchants and factories welcomed these laborers, especially under the premise that they did not need to pay social security and medical insurance, and their basic wages were directly halved.
But soon, they had various problems and disputes. There were too many and complicated problems, but in general, while the labor ability was low, there were also too many problems.
This is actually not their problem. It is that the "talents" cultivated by the education system of their own country naturally meet the needs of the local society and companies, while the "labor force" of other countries has not even passed the language barrier, let alone local enterprises and commercial units. The basics are needed.
Physical work? When the labor force is overflowing, it is actually the position that is most likely to overflow, and the involution is serious, and many disputes have arisen instead.
Anyone can do the job, let those "outsiders" compete with each other, and even form a gang, which is similar to the dock gang, water transportation gang, etc., and its existence itself means the derivative of trouble.
After they really form a group, in addition to forming a group and "local bosses" to demand higher remuneration and better treatment, they often accidentally go wrong and become real hooligans and gangs, involving illegal transactions and crimes.
"Yo, how are you? How are you doing recently?"
When Lu Pingan returned to the police station, he was greeted by familiar people with "you still know how to come" eyes. The others had already returned to the team, and he was the only one who had been "playing wild".
"It's not good at all. The crime rate has increased by 362%, and various disputes have increased by at least ten times. We are working overtime every day. Welcome to overtime hell."
Hearing this, Lu Pingan couldn't help but click his tongue. He estimated that the situation was very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
At present, what the ancient city is facing is the overflow of pure manual labor and the shortage of high value-added labor. What's worse, if it can't be alleviated in the short term, those young and powerful intelligent creatures will "in order to survive" and fight", at that time, the situation will deteriorate unstoppably.
Moreover, the quality of the first batch of "immigrants" is actually not bad. Those who can get tickets or "places" are themselves the result of being selected, but the society cannot provide jobs suitable for their abilities. This is similar to a large number of Most of the postgraduates have graduated, and it is a dilemma for doctors to compete for jobs in society.
They are still watching and restraining themselves, and once they take a step, they will not be able to stop.
Outstanding talents go astray, and the social destruction they bring is even greater, and the beasts that have tasted blood may not return to the cage honestly.
The official "demographic dividend illegal operation" in the ancient city has ushered in a wave of crisis.
"No wonder Wang Xi'er is already desperately building a factory and recruiting people."
After thinking about it, Lu Pingan vaguely understood their difficulties.
In fact, their factories are still under construction, and their technology is still in the process of localization. Even if the top experts make all-out efforts, a complex and mature exotic creation must pass the material test and technical theory if it is to be completely localized The three major problems of customs clearance and industrial mass production.
Now, it seems to be stuck in the last step of mass production technology. I heard that it can be done in a month at the earliest. But they recruited people, in fact, they recruited at the very moment, and they have been supporting them until now.
They are probably also rushing to seize the market with "exotic cars" immediately after the new traffic law is released, so that their loans can be repaid.
"Uh, so to speak, should I go to the development zone and report to my 'superior'? It seems that I am more needed here."
Along the way, Lu Pingan found that the situation in his "hometown" was quite delicate.
In the final analysis, this is actually caused by the city leaders' "leap forward" and "cross-the-line". Plus one model", the paper data reached 80,000.
Why paper? The real data that Lu Pingan got from Wang Xi'er was actually 120,000.
These are just the phosphorus spreaders, the most high-quality immigrants. But no matter how high-quality they are, they still have to eat.
The original resources could not be exchanged for local wealth. Under various introspection, Lu Pingan had knocked out two gangs of Phosphorus Scatterers in one day.
They need time to adapt to the local situation and basic conditions to display their talents, but the reality of being too introverted and the local official "leap forward" made them lose the opportunity for stable development in the early stage.
Lu Pingan didn't want to go to the "development zone" because it was a large refugee camp in a sense, and over 70,000 people were squeezed into a small development zone. Facing the overexpanded new population, the original "Agreement" has become a joke.
Just supplying the daily needs of those people is a headache for the ancient city, a city with a population of one million. What's more, the people who are directly responsible (who are responsible) are the people in the development zone who have obtained the right to independent development. For a moment, the ancient city officials also lacked the motivation and responsibility to directly govern.
Obviously, if some people can't be idle, they will come out to make a living by themselves, and being an "auto worker" is not a good job, especially because many people have high social status in their original countries.
Now, before the "automobile factory" is established, the development zone just spends money to support people, so naturally it can't provide much remuneration and treatment.
Maybe, after the car factory goes into production, it will be better
"Tsk, a group of gamblers, haven't they considered the consequences of losing the bet?"
The defeat of "Motor City" was a terrible disaster in Lu Pingan's impression.
The upstream and downstream of the automobile industry can generate massive employment, but once it collapses, a large number of "industrial workers and families" lose everything overnight.
Too many people in the whole city rely on cars and its ancillary industries for food. When it collapses, all industries in the whole city except the population collapse.
Laborers who have lost their "income" and "life" will "fend for themselves", and the whole city will gradually fall into a "city of crime".
And Gucheng is even more exaggerated. He has not yet built an automobile industry, but he has attracted an excessive number of "industrial workers"!
Now the whole city is betting wildly that this project will succeed, if it really fails. Those floating population who are "bound" in the development zone will rush into the whole city to fend for themselves.
Under normal circumstances, both entrepreneurship and development are likely to succeed, and the main thing is to digest slowly. Their talents and resources are also nutrients for urban growth.
But now, if they put their minds to the pot, they will only become meat in the "meat grinder".
"I hope they can succeed, I hope the car sells well." Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an's scalp became numb, and when it really got to that point, there was nothing he could do.
He sincerely expects the government to win the bet with the Phosphorus Scatterers, hopes that their "cars" will sell well, and hopes that the current chaotic period will pass quickly.
The number of overflowing outsiders has grown too fast, causing serious social chaos, and this is just a big head. There are also many "disaster victims" from other worlds. If they are not restricted, they are not in their hometown, and the lower limit is even lower.
Lu Pingan dealt with quite a few phosphorus spreaders, but he couldn't recognize the race, and there were more.
"...Everyone, don't be merciful. Some of them are pitiful, but our responsibility is to protect this city and the citizens with ID cards."
In the official communication, the leaders of the police station and special service team made it very clear.
As a "cop", some things must be done.
And this naturally became the reason why Lu Pingan was forced to work overtime.
