Chapter 606 Terrible future
Ye Zhou and Chen Hao returned to Rongcheng urgently. They still had no contact with the Liu Family Group, but judging from the information collected by the General Technical Office, they also realized that the Liu Family might have been "shocked".
This is actually not too unexpected. After years of game and confrontation, both sides have already figured out the other party's temper. The only thing that surprised Chen Hao was that the other party's actions were so decisive.
Limiting Sut production capacity was originally a means for them to serve as bargaining chips, but now it is activated again, which may very well mean that the other party wants to use this as a coercion to conduct a truly, "candid" negotiation.
Or, in more extreme cases, they may want to completely break away from official control and transform from dialogue to check and balance.
This is not impossible.
The Liu family involves many industries, from transportation, energy, electronics, to medical care, biology, agriculture, and media, which can be said to be huge. If they really plan to take this path, then the official will be prepared to face the impact.
Fortunately, such preparations were already within the plan - they were going to fall, and the changes caused by early attacks were nothing more than from soft landing to hard landing.
Sitting in the office, Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao and asked:
"Do you want to meet with representatives of the Liu family? Their actions are too sudden. Introducing negotiations can help us gain more time to prepare."
Chen Hao shook his head and replied:
"They are forcing us to take the initiative to contact us. In this case, whoever speaks first will lose."
"They are not big, but the difficult part is to go deep into all aspects of the economy. If they want to completely eliminate them, there will be no compromise."
"And now that our intentions have been seen through, then negotiations naturally mean compromise, which is unacceptable."
Speaking of this, Chen Hao sighed.
"It seems that this time, surgical cleaning will become a bone scraping treatment. I hope our various economic departments can withstand this pain."
Hearing his words, Ye Zhou smiled and replied:
"It is a fact that scraping the bone to treat poison, but does it hurt?... Isn't it hard to say?"
"The Liu family has been controlling the market all year round and has a lot of pricing power in hand, which has suppressed other peers and cannot raise their heads."
"I think that once the trouble starts, there will be a large number of competitors who will sharpen their knives without our call."
"Maybe you will encounter some difficulties in the early stage, but you should also believe that our own entrepreneurs will not be so short-sighted. After the short-term pain, there will be greater benefits that they can survive."
Chen Hao nodded and said:
"Hope so."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Hao suddenly spoke:
"How do you feel when you meet Yaoyao this time?"
"What does it feel?"
Ye Zhou asked inexplicably.
Chen Hao smiled and continued to ask:
"Don't you think she is still a little girl?"
"What can she be if she is not a little girl? She is only that young!"
"...I'm talking about BCI transmission technology. Before, a large number of researchers at the General Technical Office believed that this technology accelerates the mental growth of young children, and said that in the future, it is likely that age will be completely decoupled from experience and experience."
"But now it seems that the technology is not as effective as we think. Her knowledge has grown, when the mind and experience are not."
Ye Zhou finally understood what he was referring to. After a moment of careful recollection, he nodded in agreement.
"It's true...but this cannot be described as 'the effect is not that great', right? In my opinion, such an effect is correct and humanized."
Chen Hao shook his head gently and explained:
"If we look at it from the perspective of human nature, 'technology maturation' is indeed not a good way. However, in this extreme situation, there are adjacent dimensions invasions outside, other countries are eyeing them inside, and there are various opponents in the country. If technology maturation can be achieved, the efficiency improvement it brings is extremely terrifying."
“Imagine if this technology is used in practice and the working age is reduced, do you know how much labor and productivity growth is brought about?”
Ye Zhou made a rough estimate and answered:
"About 40%, right?"
"No, not 40%, it's 90%. You have to consider the efficiency improvement brought about by the increase in the synergy rate in the compound industry, as well as the time savings brought about by the accelerated communication speed after the large-scale deployment of BCI technology."
“90%?”
Ye Zhou was a little surprised. He knew the potential of BCI technology very well, but he had never calculated it carefully - of course, this should not be calculated by him, it was the job of an actuary.
If the efficiency improvement is really 90%, then it can be said that such a prospect is extremely attractive.
Of course, this temptation is only for managers, but for workers... it is extremely painful to reduce their working age by another 10 years, even if it is 5 years.
As he said, it was completely inhumane.
Thinking of this, he spoke:
"It cannot be calculated like this. This is not a real efficiency improvement. To be precise, this is called overdraft efficiency."
"If technology ripening really exists, the consequences of ripening also exist. You also know that ripening fruits are often more likely to rot than normal ripening fruits."
"Complied with people, after overdrawing efficiency, people will age faster and their energy will dissipate faster..."
"What if we combine genetic modification technology to strengthen the human body?"
Chen Hao interrupted Ye Zhou's words.
"Who does this mean?"
Ye Zhou looked shaking and asked, looking straight at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao laughed and replied:
"You don't have to be so sensitive... I guess you would react like this."
"To be honest, there is indeed such a voice inside, but it has been suppressed."
"The reason is also very simple. If you really follow this idea, then it is very likely... some people will not be adults."
Hearing Chen Hao say this, Ye Zhou's anger dissipated a little. At that moment, even without the help of the decision-maker's talent, he felt a strong dangerous signal.
If technology is really allowed to ripen and medicine to last for life at the same time, it is very likely that those who have the authority to information will quickly go to the top, while those who have no authority will become slaves.
The greater the authority, the stronger the person, and the greater the authority, are the strong ones.
By that time, the so-called curing cannot be described as curing.
The whole society will become a steel plate.
"This kind of thing must not happen. You must set up a special monitoring team."
"I have a feeling that someone will take advantage of this loophole."
"The problem will be serious by then."
"This is not a medical ethics issue, it is a pure sociological issue, and such development will inevitably lead to destruction!"
"I see."
Chen Haozheng focused his head, and then both of them fell silent.
This time the exchange was a bit heavy, but it benefited a lot.
Ye Zhou realized more clearly that behind each technology, there were crises that could kill people, and these crises were strangled to death one by one by the general technical officer.
