Homo sapiens.

Li Haoyun, who didn't want to talk to his son, leaned against the partition wall of the soft sleeper, talking to the big fat man on the opposite bunk.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the jewelry business in southern Fujian?"

The fat man panted heavily: "Hehe...not so good, gold and precious metals are very hot...hehe, the sales of emeralds and gemstones have dropped very sharply."

"Jadeite is better! The jadeite market in Lingnan in the first quarter of this year is not bad."

The fat man was very helpless: "It's better to have feelings and economy over there. Many people on our side run out from village to village. They don't buy jewelry at all, they buy gold and precious metals."

"so serious?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. You also know that the clan atmosphere in southern Fujian is relatively strong. The first batch of villagers who came to work in the Homo sapiens company, after exploring the road, many of the same villages and clans who had a good relationship called their friends to go down together. Nanyang."

"It's not that serious here in Lingnan, is it?" Li Haoyun hesitated for a moment.

But Fang Xinwu closed his eyes and meditated, but secretly smiled wryly: "You live in Yangcheng, and there are still several buildings in your house for rent, so of course you don't feel the loss of population." '

In fact, Fang Xinwu, who has internal channels, knows a lot of unknown data.

The rate of population loss in the east, west and north of Guangdong is astonishing, especially in the local rural areas and urban villages, which have basically become empty.

In the past, many of these people would go to the Pearl River Delta and Xiangjiang to work, but now these people go directly to Homo Sapiens to work.

The reason why the Pearl River Delta region still looks prosperous is mainly because the population of other inland regions is making up for the loss.

In addition, due to the recent replacement of plastic materials internally, the operating rate of the factory has been full, so the population has not been significantly reduced.

However, the areas where the population was originally outflowed have clearly felt the side effects of population loss.

People who used to go to work in the Pearl River Delta would come back to consume and build houses, and they would also return to their hometowns during the New Year and holidays.

However, those who went to work for Homo Sapiens rarely returned to their hometowns for the festival, because many of them went there as a whole family, and then were scattered among branches and subsidiaries in various places.

In this way, there is a high probability that the family will spend the holidays locally instead of flying back to their hometown.

This situation has caused a serious consequence, that is, people who go out to work tend to sell real estate, land, property and furniture in advance.

As a result, housing prices in some backward areas have collapsed, and even if sales are constantly restricted, they still cannot hold back the rate of decline.

After all, many villages are empty, only a few sages and wealthy households are left, still maintaining their dignity.

These people are unwilling to abandon the industry and relationship network that they have worked hard for decades, and they are also unwilling to "join the ranks" of those mud-legged people. They are also afraid that after losing their relationship network, they will become ordinary people again.

But those who are barefoot have no idea of ​​staying.

The same is true for Fang Xinwu's hometown. His cousin Fang Xinxin brought his parents, siblings and siblings to Hongshawadi one after another.

As more and more people go to Homo sapiens company to work, a lot of news can't be locked. Even the rural areas in remote areas know that they can directly apply for the Homo sapiens company.

It's just that many people still have doubts in their hearts, or they have a lot of industries in their hometown, so they are reluctant to bear these bottles and cans, and are still on the sidelines.

Listening to the conversation between Li Haoyun and the fat man, Fang Xinwu knew very well in his heart that the only way to fight against the population siphon of Homo sapiens is to greatly increase various benefits, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress population loss.

But after thinking about it, he sighed secretly again, this kind of thing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, there is no reason why the temple cannot see it.

However, it is too difficult to greatly increase welfare.

Perhaps the current population loss is not a bad thing, at least the population pressure is reduced, and there are more cakes to share.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Dongzhi City.

The group did not go directly to the mining area, because there was no need, the minerals in Hongshawadi were all developed by the Homo sapiens company, and the purchase price was similar wherever they were purchased.

Out of the subway station.

The young man looked at the city, which was not too big or small, with disapproval on his face: "Is this the pearl of Shan State - Taunggyi City? It doesn't look too good!"

Li Haoyun reprimanded directly: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I brought you here to learn how to do business, not for you to come here to criticize."

Dongzhi City is indeed not big, because the permanent population here is 106 million, and the floating population will not exceed 150 million.

The reason why it is not big is not because there is not enough development potential here, but when Homo sapiens company develops real estate, it will strictly control the scale of urban construction to avoid the emergence of large cities with a large population.

According to Homo Sapiens' internal planning, those city-type branches can be divided into Type I, Type II, and Type III according to their population size.

三类就是人口在10万～50万级别的城市型分公司，二类是人口51万～200万级别的城市型分公司，一类是人口201万～500万级别的城市型分公司。

At present, there are only Yangon, Manila, Thonburi, Mandalay, Chiang Mai, Bandung, Sing Tao, and Kuala Lumpur as the first-class city-type branches.

Moreover, the population of these first-class cities is decreasing, basically maintaining around 300 million.

Megacities are of no use to giant corporations and instead create unnecessary vulnerabilities and troubles for themselves.

After all, concentrating the population in a few super-big cities is easy to be taken over by one pot.

Moreover, the various supporting facilities in super cities will also appear very bloated, unable to improve the quality of life of residents.

Small and medium-sized cities are the key investment direction of Homo sapiens.

Of course, if the metropolitan area is counted, the population of the Taunggyi branch can reach more than 800 million.

The current internal development trend of Homo sapiens is to invest in the construction of metropolitan circles, and use high-speed subways and ground railways, expressways, airports, and canals to expand the radius of the metropolitan circle to about 150 kilometers.

In addition to the main city of Taunggyi, the metropolitan area of ​​the Taunggyi branch also has four affiliated second-tier cities and seven third-tier cities. This is the true face of Lushan Mountain in Taunggyi.

Therefore, despite the fact that the total number of Homo sapiens employees is about to exceed 10 billion, many areas appear to be sparsely populated, but the cities are not crowded.

Fang Xinwu and others walked out of the subway station and came directly to the bus station on the side.

Seeing that the bus was going to be built, the young man immediately became unhappy: "Mr. Fang, call a taxi! I'm not used to taking the bus."

"Shut up, you boy!" Li Haoyun was a little angry.

Fang Xinwu shook his head, the child is useless.

After a while, the bus stops.

The young man was forced onto the bus by his father Li Haoyun.

Unlike the imagined bus, the bus here is more like a bus, with more reasonable and spacious seats.

Fang Xinwu patted the seat and found that the previous plastic chair had been replaced.

'Is this iron bamboo? '

He scanned the compartment and found that many plastic parts had been replaced with other materials, among which iron bamboo accounted for a relatively high proportion.

Picking up the cushion on one side, the slightly rough feel told him that it was worsted linen, and the stuffing inside was probably replaced with cotton.

The air conditioner in the car was fully turned on, the cushion was put down, and Fang Xinwu sat down directly.

The fat man on the side said out of breath, "Whew...the seats here are relatively spacious, which is very good for a fat man like me, so you don't have to squeeze."

"Mr. Zhang, it's time for you to lose weight." Fang Xinwu joked.

The fat man laughed helplessly: "Haha... I can't control my mouth!"

Chapter 385 Thinking about a piece of meat

Buses run on the streets of the city.

The banyan trees and mango trees on both sides are full of greenery. The large area of ​​greenery and the sky garden on the roof make the whole Dongzhi City look like a wild mountain forest.

This is also a city invested and constructed by Sapiens Corporation. One of its characteristics is the pursuit of integration with the surrounding natural environment.

The young man looked at the large green plants outside the window and laughed disapprovingly: "Mosquitoes in this city must like it very much."

The fat man took a sip of mineral water: "Sheng Kai, you guessed it wrong. I have been to Taungzhi several times, and there are no mosquitoes outside here."

"Really? With so much greenery, how could there be no mosquitoes?" Li Shengkai looked suspicious.

"Really not, maybe it's because the insecticide here is more thorough!" The fat man guessed casually.

In fact, Dongzhi City does not often spray insecticides, because the cities built by Homo sapiens do not often use chemical drugs to disinfect them, but use a special pheromone expulsion system to expel those mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice and the like Leave the human activity area of ​​the city.

Except for the genetically modified animals produced by Homo sapiens, naturally occurring animals will not easily enter human activity areas.

This is the truth that there are no mosquitoes in Taunggyi City.

Soon.

The bus arrived at the entrance of the Emerald Hotel.

"Here we are." Fang Xinwu picked up the suitcase.

Others also got off the bus one after another with their suitcases.

The temperature in Hongsawadi in May is already very high, and it has entered the rainy season in Southeast Asia. The road surface that has just had a light rain is a little wet.

Mr. Zhang, the big fat man of Fang Xinwu's gang, was carrying his luggage. The other party's 200-jin meat made him panting when he walked.

When the hotel staff saw a group of people, they knew that they were foreign businessmen who came to stay in the hotel, and greeted them with a smile: "Welcome, this is the room introduction."

Fang Xinwu, who is very familiar with the Emerald Hotel, did not accept the introduction, but directly stated the reservation requirements: "Five standard single rooms, stay for one week."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After opening the room, the luggage was settled, and the group did not rush to the Jade Wholesale Center to see jadeite, but first went to a hotel to comfort their Wuzang Temple.

Came to the riverside restaurant in Ruiniang District.

The condescending riverside restaurant is built on the top of the river, overlooking the distant Inle Lake, Rui Niang Dam, and the navigable ship lock.

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the 200-meter-high Rui Niang Dam after two times of heightening, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance in their hearts.

The impact of industrial civilization is indeed very shocking.

Even Li Shengkai, who was chattering all the time, didn't speak harshly.

Soon the dishes will be served.

Li Shengkai, who came back to his senses, looked at the dishes: "Isn't this the Lingnan tea?"

"It's Lingnan tea, which is collectively called a tea restaurant here. The taste is very suitable for us southerners." The big fat man said as he picked up the money part of a piece of Alpine ham:

"This is a good thing. The alpine ham is stewed directly, and the original taste is authentic."

After taking a bite of the stewed ham, Li Haoyun showed a slight smile: "Sure enough, it's not a taste, no wonder Brother Zhang has always been obsessed with the ham here."

A big fat man who was a big foodie, introduced with a smile: "Haha, in fact, the alpine ham here is imported from Xuanwei, the southern Yunnan Province, but the quality is better than blue."

Li Haoyun was puzzled: "Oh? Why? Logically speaking, the original place of origin should be better than the new place of origin, right?"

"Brother Li doesn't know that there is a special research institute in Gaoshan Ham Factory in Dongzhi, which specializes in various fermentation technologies. Last time I visited it, and the pig breeds and feeding are all customized, and the whole process has been realized. standardization and industrialization."

The fat man took a sip of oolong tea and continued:

"The Xuanwei ham is mainly pickled and fermented by the farmers themselves, and the quality is not stable; although there is a factory, the pig breeds and pickling and fermentation techniques used in the factory are not as professional as Taunggyi."

"It turns out that the domestic development in this area still needs to be improved!" Li Haoyun sighed.

On the other hand, Li Shengkai had a sneering expression on his face: "This ham is only 3 yuan for a big piece. How can the quality be so good? The real top ham is the Iberico ham from Spain."

"Nephew is wrong." As a big foodie, although he is not as good as Li Haoyun in terms of jadeite rough, he can beat Li Haoyun by ten blocks when it comes to eating and drinking.

He opened the folding fan, and while fanning the wind, he said: "This piece of stewed ham only costs 3 yuan, which does not mean that the quality is poor. Homo sapiens does not sell luxury goods, but the requirements for product quality are very high."

"The five major ham factories in Dongzhi have production lines that imitate Xuanwei ham, Jinhua ham, and Iberian ham, as well as their own unique Dongzhi ham. They produce more than 3000 million hams every year. Even ordinary instant hams are of high quality. It can be compared to the gold label of Iberian ham."

"More than 3000 million pieces? With such a large quantity, how can the quality be guaranteed? Do you not use additives and flavor enhancers to deceive consumers?" Li Shengkai was still skeptical.

The fat man shook his head: "This is the power of industrialization. Homo sapiens does not believe in the nonsense that traditional handicrafts are good. They have dug out many traditional handicraft masters from our country to study how to improve and industrialize production."

Similar to traditional handmade foods such as ham, sauerkraut, kimchi, marzipan, rice cakes, dried persimmons, and plum wine, the HR department of Homo sapiens company will specially recruit some old masters.

Then establish a small research institute to study how to improve and industrialize production.

You say industrial production has no soul?

So how thick is your wallet?

soul?feelings?Can it be eaten as a meal?

Similar to Japanese people’s no-menu restaurants, sushi fairy, etc., but it’s just to satisfy some people’s pretending psychology, so that they can distinguish themselves from ordinary people through these behaviors, and show their superior posture.

But in Homo sapiens company, if you engage in these fancy performance art, those new human employees will only think that you are pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.

Homo sapiens does not need so-called master craftsmen or sushi sages, but high-quality products that can be produced in a standardized manner.

If a product cannot meet the needs of all employees, it is doomed that this product will not be approved for sale, because it does not conform to the philosophy of Homo sapiens.

How many thousands of Iberian hams are produced a year?

Feel sorry!Homo sapiens companies do not need this luxury.

What Homo sapiens needs is industrialized ham that can produce tens of millions of hams a year to meet the needs of most of the company's employees.
