Homo sapiens.

"Ma'am! Are you all right?"

Sophie had a flustered expression with her heart beating fast: "Huhu...it's terrible. Fortunately, I have learned karate."

The black-bone man with a cracked egg, like a boiled prawn, lay on the ground and howled.

The middle-aged white man held a baguette in one hand and hurriedly called the police with the other.

However, the call was connected, but the other party said that they were short of manpower and asked them to wait for a while.

At this moment, several companions of the black-bone man rushed over, and hurriedly left with the help of the guy lying on the ground.

Sophie, whose expression was still in shock, quickly thanked the middle-aged white man, and then left in a hurry.

In fact, Sophie has long been familiar with the strange things. During her mission in Paris, she encountered pickpockets three times and highway robbery twice.

Of course, it's not that the whole of France is in such chaos, but a part of Paris, where the crime rate is relatively high due to the settlement of immigrants.

This is actually a common problem all over Europe. Since the influx of refugees, various problems have emerged one after another.

Chapter 396 Three Worlds ([-])

North America.

America, Detroit.

The influx of a large number of Europa companies, as well as the stimulus of America's Industrial Revitalization Act, has revived the automobile manufacturing industry and real estate here.

Especially after the plastic crisis, a large number of unavoidable new demands have made the automobile market hot.

Neither Ford nor General Motors has launched a trade-in service, nor does it provide replacement services for plastic parts of old models, and they do not even develop and produce replacement parts for plastic parts of old models.

Their purpose is very simple, that is to force everyone to buy a new car.

If it is a pure quality problem, then General Motors and Ford would not dare to play like this. The problem is that the car is now corroded by fungi, which is a "natural disaster" and is not covered by insurance and warranty.

Spurred on by demand and capital, Detroit's auto industry recovered rapidly.

At the same time, as the other three giants of the world's automobiles, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Audi also had to set up branch factories in North America.

The reason is that America has made an ultimatum to either get out of the North American market or relocate the production line.

The big three automakers, who didn't have many choices, could only grit their teeth and come to North America to invest and set up factories.

At this time, Detroit has regained a trace of the style of the world's automobile city.

I just don't know if this is a resurrection or a return to light.

At least ordinary people in North America who have been devastated by the economic crisis have also lowered their requirements for work remuneration.

And the City on the Hill Council also knows that now they need these consumables to work well, not to give them high benefits.

Therefore, the Council of the City on the Hill took the lead and secretly organized a secret meeting of entrepreneurs.

The content of the secret conversation is unknown to the outside world except Homo sapiens.

After the secret talks, a very strange phenomenon began to appear in various parts of North America.

That is, all products and services except basic food have begun to slowly increase in price.

For example, the prices of construction, decoration, and purchase of houses are rising rapidly. Within six months, the average price has risen by 22.7%.

The prices of education expenses, medical expenses, insurance expenses, electricity, water, gas, communication fees, electronic and electrical products, and daily necessities have also increased by 30-60%.

As for why the price was raised.

The announcements of major companies are the impact of the economic crisis and the plastic crisis, coupled with the sharp rise in raw material costs, this is an unavoidable adjustment.

But at the same time, America also brought in a large number of Aztecs and Latin Americans, and paid them ultra-low hourly wages.

The City on the Hill council learns the skills of its own dogs, and refers to these working immigrants as "trainees". It stipulates that the minimum hourly wage for these people is $2, and they are not protected or insured.

With the help of these trainees, the Detroit factory can be opened.

As for those old beauties who don’t work hard all day long and still like to compare blindly, the corporate lords are no longer waiting, the hourly salary and benefits are like this, whether you like to do it or not, you can decide for yourself!

Reduce social welfare, increase cost of living, introduce Latin American labor force, reduce wages jointly by enterprises, and substantially increase individual tax.

After this combination of punches, the entire North America was suffocated.

not accepted?

Then you just wait to go bankrupt and become a bum!

And the various associations that dared to take the lead in doing things in the past, under the instructions of the bosses behind the scenes, all chose to remain silent.

Some people with strong heads have committed suicide by being shot seven times in the back.

Facing the powerful enemy Homo sapiens, the City on a Hill Council also let go of a large part of their internal differences and infighting, and began to join forces to adjust the state of North America.

After all, no matter how great the financial industry is, it is ultimately false.

In addition, Homo sapiens does not recognize American knife at all. No matter how sophisticated Wall Street's financial means are, they can't attack Homo sapiens' financial industry through a wall, right?

Asking the Federal Reserve to sell thousands of tons of gold in its inventory may cause the price of gold dollars to plummet in a short period of time.

The problem is, now the gold dollar has become almost the same as the dollar.

Gold dollars are divided into employee gold dollars and trade gold dollars.

Among them, employee gold dollars are basically credit currency. After all, the vast majority of Homo sapiens employees will not exchange gold, but use it for internal consumption.

The trading gold dollar is the gold standard, or the limited gold standard. To a large extent, the trading gold dollar is the product of the Homo sapiens company, and gold is just the most intuitive collateral.

Therefore, the selling of gold by the Federal Reserve can only affect the trading gold dollar, but cannot affect the interior of Homo sapiens.

To affect a highly self-sufficient internal circular economy, the difficulty is comparable to directly starting the three wars.

What's more, several thousand tons of gold can still be eaten by Homo sapiens. With the introduction of various technologies, there are more and more application scenarios of gold in the industrial field.

For example, Homo sapiens' aerospace industry consumed 2.4 tons of gold and 4.6 tons of platinum group metals in the first half of this year alone.

With the crazy expansion of the aerospace industry in the future, the industrial consumption of rare and precious metals will definitely increase.

If the Federal Reserve dares to sell gold, Homo sapiens will follow suit.

Therefore, the trading gold dollar is also very strong.

Financial means are useless, military means cannot be defeated, and information means are also suppressed by Homo Sapiens. The Council of the City on the Hill has already felt the pain.

Therefore, they dare not continue to play finance now, because they find that if they continue to play financial means, they will only play themselves to death.

Returning to the real economy is the only way for North America to fight Homo sapiens companies.

So they came up with that set of combo punches, constantly breaking through the lower limit of the tolerance of ordinary people in North America, forcing these people to be on the verge of bankruptcy all the time, so that they can reduce benefits and wages.

Of course, in order to prevent Homo sapiens from affecting ordinary people through the public opinion of the Internet.

The council has notified Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, Youtube, Twitter, Fate, Amazon, etc., to let these Internet giants build firewalls to block and filter information related to Sapiens companies.

At the same time, let these Internet giants try to discredit the image of Homo sapiens and turn it into an evil giant.

Recently, Hollywood has launched more than a dozen movies and TV series of the giant type.

Including the remake version of Resident Evil and the like, it is all about Homo sapiens.

Homo sapiens even managed to replace Lucia as the number one villain in Hollywood movies.

However, this method is limited to North America. Outside of North America, Homo sapiens has used satellite communications and submarine optical cables to build its own Internet industry.

In terms of cognitive warfare, Homo sapiens is more comprehensive and versatile than America.

After all, the gold dollar at this time is stronger than the depreciating US knife. The tens of billions of gold dollars that Homo sapiens invests in the field of culture and entertainment every year are not used to steal box office and promote small fresh meat.

America can build walls in North America, but it cannot build walls all over the world.

In the Latin American region alone, there are many forces that do not accept America, and they will not cooperate with America.

With Homo sapiens company around, America will be pleasant when talking to them, instead of being domineering and bullying like before.

Of course, America is not the only force building walls and retreating, but the strength is different.

After all, it is difficult for some forces to be self-sufficient in their internal resources. It is an inevitable choice to open up a part of the market for Sapiens companies.

For example, Dongying in Northeast Asia, now even the auto industry such as Toyota and Nissan have set up factories in North America, and the internal economy is in a serious vicious circle.

If we don’t open the market to Homo sapiens companies and allow ordinary people to find jobs in Homo sapiens companies, is it possible to let these people starve to death or force them to do things?

Chapter 397 Confusing...

Second Suez Canal.

Mediterranean exports.

North Canal City.

The three curly-haired Davids who came to travel from Paris came to this new city invested and built by Homo Sapiens.

As a standard three-category city, the local population is 37, of which 41% are Suez natives, 16% are refugees from other parts of West Asia, 14% are South Asians, 13% are Southeast Asians, 12% are Northeast Asians, South Africans 4%.

However, what surprised Curly was that it was very peaceful here, not as chaotic as Paris.

You must know that the refugee population in Paris has not reached 16%. This situation makes the three of David very strange.

In the riverside tea restaurant next to the canal.

David was very puzzled and joked: "Is it because everyone has a job? That's why they don't have various social problems?"

After eating a shrimp dumpling, he found the personnel data of North Canal City in his notebook, and he was also very surprised at this time:

"According to the data, the unemployment rate here is zero, and the pillar industries are canal services, port services, ship maintenance, aquaculture and medical services, and there is also a food processing base here."

"Have you noticed that there are basically no children's activities on the streets here?" Round Face reminded thoughtfully while holding a teacup.

David was a little unsure: "Is it complete social support? Will this model really not cause children's psychological problems?"

"How many of you are from France?"

A voice came from the table next to them.

David turned his head and looked at the next table. A young couple of Northeast Asian race were also drinking afternoon tea, and it was a man who was talking.

"Mister also understands French?" David was a little surprised.

"I know a little bit, I'm Yujiro Sugiyama, this is my wife Yuriko Sugiyama." The man introduced himself with a smile.

David asked with some uncertainty: "Hello, I'm David Hall, Mr. Sugiyama, are you here for a tour?"

"I work at the port and am currently living here."

Dabeitou also introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Andre Dumas, from Marseille."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Henry Mark." The round face also picked up the teacup and introduced himself.

The two sides got to know each other while chatting.

Then the round-faced Henry asked the question just now: "You have two children? Send them to school accommodation? I am very curious about the support and education system of Homo sapiens, can we talk about it?"

"No problem, this is not a sensitive topic." Yujiro Sugiyama adjusted his chair: "What specific content do you want to know?"

The round-faced Henry thought for a while: "I mainly want to know, will the relationship between the child and the parents be weakened, or even become a stranger? As far as I know, the boarding school for Homo sapiens is a year-round school, right?"

"In fact, the company will not completely separate the children from us. Parents have the right to visit their children at any time, and whether they are willing to visit their children depends on the parents themselves." Yujiro Sugiyama explained.

His words are actually very easy to understand.

That is the relationship between parents and children, not a one-way relationship, but a two-way relationship.

If parents do not visit their children often, children will not be too close to their parents.

Residential schools merely bring this special situation to light.

Many parents in other regions don't think they live with their children. In fact, they don't necessarily have frequent intimate exchanges with their children.

This kind of situation is called "the estranged family", and this kind of estranged family is actually very common in reality.

Parents are busy with work and social relationships with adults, so they can easily ignore the existence of their children.

This is an unavoidable problem all over the world, especially for ordinary people who do not have enough assets to allow one of their parents to be out of production for a long time to accompany their children to grow up.

Poor single-parent families are among the hardest hit.

Therefore, this kind of comprehensive nanny school invested and constructed by Homo sapiens company has more practical significance.

David also raised some questions of his own: "Mr. Sugiyama, how can Homo sapiens schools ensure that children will not have psychological problems. As far as I know, adolescent psychological problems have always been a difficult problem all over the world."
