Chapter 1008: One Word Hits the Mark

You……

Maidi flew into a rage, you bastard, although you didn't mention that taboo name, but your implications are too strong.

"Jiesen, you're talking more and more nonsense."

"What, looting Europe? That's our partner."

"We will set up our standards, we will bring our partners along to progress."

"Daxia is the enemy we need to face."

"We should jointly defend the interests of Western white people."

At the same time he was thinking.

【Indeed, the possibility of Europe turning toward Daxia is growing; we cannot let them continue like this.】

【We have already promoted the Sigma War, cutting off their land route.】

【Why not use the same method to cut off their sea route as well?】

【Do you still want to cooperate, to merge?】

【Have you asked us?】

【By then, they will only be able to cooperate with us.】

【Hahaha, Jiesen this traitor, he never expected his own words to give me a direction.】

【War is the foundation of the world economy; Daxia doesn't understand, Europeans don't understand, only we can see it clearly.】

【No matter how good your economic development, a single war can wipe out all your advantages.】

【If you're capable, use spaceships for logistics】

【By the way, there's also SF Express; I'll make you look bad.】

Catherine saw Maidi still doing his own thing, couldn't help but speak up for Jiesen.

"Mr. Maidi, confrontation has no way out; cooperation does."

"Back when we confronted the polar bear, we almost collapsed."

"If it weren't for winning over Daxia, which gave us a huge market and momentum,"

"We would likely still be mired in a huge crisis."

"We once took a gamble, luckily won, because we opened our arms."

"Now if you still want to repeat that old trick, it's simply courting death."

"Because you're pursuing closure, while Daxia continues to push for great opening up."

"This is simply courting death."

"Look at the polar bear now; if you keep doing that, he will likely become our model."

"To solve the crisis, old methods no longer work; the best way is to make good use of the huge opportunities brought by this industrial revolution, using the era's dividends to offset past debts."

"Although we might suffer for a few years, this is nevertheless the smallest cost."

"There's no free lunch in the world; this is our cost."

"Otherwise, when the problem can't be solved externally, someone will think of solving it internally."

"I think this is not the result you want to see."

Qiaozhi heard Catherine's words and suddenly shuddered.

He didn't want to discuss this topic anymore; there was too much substance, too dangerous.

The media has always been their stage for performance, never a place to discuss truth.

Truth is their privilege.

Ordinary people knowing the truth is a huge threat to them.

"Alright, alright, I feel you're all worrying unnecessarily."

"I admit Daxia is strong, but I don't think it's the best destination for entrepreneurs."

"We Yingjiang have the best free market."

"We just need to walk our own path."

"I believe that by then, many companies will be willing to come to Yingjiang."

"Moreover, I think future population will become a huge pressure on the economy."

"Especially Daxia, they are moving toward an aging society."

"Plus, the burden of their 1.6 billion people is heavy."

"They simply cannot compete with us."

"Because the future belongs to the era of intelligence, to the era of machinery."

"There simply aren't that many positions left for people."

"By then, people's work will all be replaced by machines."

"How will those without work live? Rely on the government to support them? Then wouldn't the population become a burden?"

"How can they support so many people, and still have money to keep pushing manufacturing development?"

"On the contrary, we not only have few people, but also plenty of money."

"We can fully enjoy the dividends of the new industrial revolution."

"We will also have more funds to continue supporting industrial development."

"This advantage, even elementary school students can see clearly."

Beidi raised her hand at this time.

"Let me interject with a question."

"If there's no one, who will buy the goods made by machines?"

Boom, Betty's words were like a bolt from the blue, blowing George's argument to pieces.

Is having few people ultimately an advantage or a disadvantage?

At this point, nobody dared to speak.

If people truly have no value in the future, do they still have existential value?

Surely no one would be willing to raise a bunch of poop-producing machines, right?

Without value, the population will naturally plummet.

Then there's a problem.

If no one consumes, who will buy the goods?

Surely we can't sell to robots, right?

If we sell to robots, who then calls the shots in this world?

The more you think about it, the more terrifying it gets.

George's words have fallen into a paradox.

If people lack value, there is no future—and his idea has none either.

If you acknowledge human worth, his idea falls apart.

Because Daxia has 1.6 billion people, it far exceeds Yingjiang by more than just a little.

With such a huge market in Daxia, how can you compete?

Old Jieke looked at George as if he were an idiot.

"Mr. George, it's correct that many jobs will be replaced by machines in the future."

"But Qiongzhou has already shown us the way."

"That means further developing the service industry."

"Anyone who's seen my livestream knows Qiongzhou's service industry is highly developed."

"Whatever you need, you can easily find a professional firm or individual to provide top-notch service."

"If you doubt it, download Qiongzhou's CPapp to see how far Daxia's service industry has come."

"Even on CPapp, highly specialized research collaborations have emerged."

"Do you get it? Extremely deep research issues are tough for you, yet on CPapp they're often solved with ease."

"I hear Daxia's military is now ordering via CPapp."

"Furthermore, Qiongzhou has already commercialized many social service jobs."

"Jobs like garbage sorting, cleaning, community service, and traffic assistance have all been converted by the authorities into labor contracts."

"Airport pickups, tour guiding, and similar work can be easily arranged on the Qiongzhou Life app."

"In a nutshell, if you want someone to wipe your bottom, you can find someone in Qiongzhou to do it."

"Some even hire others to feed them, bathe them, and clothe them…"

"Cough…"

"Let me state clearly: Qiongzhou has no special services."

"Therefore, when you visit, be sure not to harbor such intentions."

"Otherwise, you're likely to be caught."
