The island that Stark bought is very close to Palm Beach. No one has ever purchased and developed it because the island is in an awkward position.
The island is too small to be used as a tourist resort, but it is too big to be used as a personal estate, and security cannot be arranged.
More importantly, because it is close to the most famous tourist resort for rich people on the west coast, the price of this island is also very expensive, several times that of other islands that are more remote and more suitable in size. Before Stark, there was no injustice at all.
I wouldn't buy an island like this.
Stark does not feel that he is wronged, because the size of the island, which is a headache for people, is not a problem for him.
Originally, the island only had a white sand beach on the west side. The beach was relatively short and small in area. However, Stark purchased a batch of white sand in Los Angeles and directly created artificial beaches.
As we all know, labor in the United States is very expensive. Other wealthy people do not do this because they have to hire workers to lay sand. The labor cost is ridiculously expensive and the construction period is slow. In the event of a hurricane, the sand will be laid today and blown away tomorrow.
.
But Stark can use robots with almost no labor cost, just spend some money to buy sand, and robots are more obedient than humans. They can build whatever design they draw, which is easier than building a home in the game.
.
Now there is a huge long white beach in the entire southwest of the island, which is the main venue for this wedding.
There are two hills in other parts of the island. The one near the beach is shorter, and a mountain villa area is built on it for guests to stay. The higher hill is Stark's newly built manor. On the wedding day, the bride and groom
From here we will head to the beach.
Now that the hard decoration of the wedding has been basically completed, what is left is the soft decoration of the wedding venue. The decoration is also left to a professional company. In Stark's manor, everyone looked at the design drawings of the decoration style.
One look at the design, and Schiller understood why Stark was dissatisfied.
The decoration style is actually very good, it is a very common modern romantic wedding, and it is the best that can be achieved in this budget range. With flowers, arches, balloons, high-end tableware and beautifully decorated meals, there is almost no fault.
The only problem is that it's too ordinary. It can be said that eight out of ten wealthy Americans hold weddings like this. In Stark's words, his father and his mother's wedding was in this style.
In fact, everyone else is quite satisfied, because this is indeed what most people think a wedding should be like in the stereotype, and because Stark is very rich, the standards of the wedding are very high, and the other couples are all from civilian backgrounds.
After seeing this battle, I thought it was pretty good.
Everyone was already discussing the details of the arrangement with great interest. Schiller saw that Stark was in a bad mood and invited him to go out for a walk.
The two came to the terrace of the manor room. Stark lit a cigarette and said, "Am I being a little too pretentious? I always feel that such an important life ritual should have some traces of myself."
"The key lies not in the rituals, but in the people." Schiller said with a smile: "When you recall these things in your later years, you will definitely be more impressed by the expressions of the people around you."
"Yes, I didn't make any additional changes because I knew that Pepper would like this kind of wedding. If it were all robots, it might become a topic of conversation for a while, but when I think about it in the future, I will always have regrets."
"Although we can't make everything robots, maybe we can add some mechanical elements. Have you arranged any robot performances?"
"No, because I know there are some robot phobias among the guests." Stark spread his hands and said: "You also know that since the beginning of the mechanical revolution, there has been an endless stream of opponents. If they take this as an excuse to cause trouble at the wedding,
Beautiful memories become flawed."
Schiller sighed inwardly. Of course he knew that a mechanical revolution was taking place all over the world, that is, using robots to replace heavy and dangerous tasks, such as high-altitude electrical maintenance, heavy object handling, bulk cargo transportation, etc.
In fact, even without this mechanical revolution, those so-called manual jobs that would be replaced on a large scale have long been replaced. Female workers in textile factories were replaced by textile machines, and steel-making workers were replaced by mechanical steel-making assembly lines. This time it was just
The technological upgrade of robots allows them to complete more intelligent tasks.
But because of this, the group being replaced has changed from workers at the bottom to the middle class, elite class, and even the wealthy class.
The rich themselves are not engaged in production, but the companies under their control have industry competition. The people who are most opposed to Stark Group's technological robots are the North American human resources giants.
The so-called knowledge is wealth, and those who possess knowledge are also wealth. The rich rely on money to control the outstanding talents selected by society. This is an important factor for their family business to be passed down from generation to generation.
However, if one day all these talents can be replaced by robots produced by the Stark Group, it means that all talents are in the hands of Stark, and the talents in their hands will depreciate.
Some people may say that robots are obviously cheaper. If humans and robots possess the same knowledge, robots are obviously more cost-effective. If robots are used instead of humans, wouldn't it also reduce production costs for the rich?
But the question is, who does the robot listen to?
It is always easy for the rich to win over people's hearts. Human beings have weaknesses and desires. Even the simplest desire for money makes them much more stable than the robots created by Stark.
If Stark were a pure capitalist, then maybe they wouldn't be so worried, and buying and selling robots would be nothing more than a business.
But Stark is a hero.
He thinks about the problem from the perspective of the interests of all mankind. When the earth is safe, everything will be fine. But once the interests of mankind conflict with the interests of these rich people, then the robots they purchased from the Stark Group will
Become a knife pointed at them.
Stark will let these robots put knives on their necks. If you don't listen to me and contribute to the security of the earth, it means that the middle-level backbone forces under your leadership will be completely destroyed. Don't think about it anymore.
A line for eternity.
How can rich people endure this?
This is what really bothers Stark.
If it goes according to his temper, he will have to make this wedding a robot expo, and let those who oppose him see, who cares whether you come or not, I am living a good life.
But this made him happy, but this was obviously not the wedding that Pepper wanted. The Robot Expo could be held anytime. The wedding might be this once in her life. Maybe Pepper would agree, but Stark didn't want her to have it.
Pity.
As Stark gets older, he is no longer as sharp as he was when he was young, and he wants to let the whole world know who is the boss.
He began to gradually separate work and life. He firmly followed his own path at work and was determined not to be kidnapped by any circle. However, there was no need to be so tense with these people in life.
He understands more and more that greed is human nature, and violence is useless against human nature.
He also began to understand why Schiller had to go in a huge circle every time he wanted to achieve his goal.
Are those rich people wrong?
Many of them have worked hard on their own to build their current family business. They have endured countless hardships and ridicules. They just want their children to no longer have to suffer these pains and to be able to enjoy the fruits of their parents' hard work with peace of mind.
.
Parents create family wealth, sons make further progress, and grandchildren reach new heights. Isn’t this how human society has always developed?
Ask yourself, Stark will not let Helen and little Morgan start from scratch. On the contrary, he will give them the best education and let them start at a higher starting point than everyone else. This is a completely normal mentality.
If someone wants to take away all this at this time, he will of course rise up to resist, regard him as an enemy, and resist resolutely to the end.
There are some so-called strategists who first assume that everyone is selfless, and then they make their own plans. Once the plan goes wrong because of some people, they accuse these people of being selfish and causing the plan to fail.
These people are indeed selfish, but selfishness is not a word that was invented that day. In human history, selfless people have to be named and praised. This means that selfishness is the norm, and selflessness is the minority.
In this case, when formulating a plan, failing to consider that people will not resolutely implement the plan due to personal interests, which will eventually lead to the failure of the plan, is an idealistic trap.
Conflicts already exist, and blindly accusing others of being selfish will not solve any problems, but may intensify the conflicts.
To solve this contradiction by defeating them and then suppressing them will not solve any problem in the end, because there are always people who can rely on their own talents and hard work to improve their class and become an upstart. This kind of suppression is endless.
But if you completely indulge them and let everyone work only to continue their own family, they will frantically exclude dissidents, suppress people at the bottom of their class, block the upward path, and ultimately make social conflicts acute and the social atmosphere chaotic.
It doesn't work to go left or right, but standing in the middle and swaying is a dead end. So the best way is to use both kindness and power, and follow the temptation. Politics is the art of compromise.
Continuously confronting them tit for tat, this tone is indeed smooth, but after that, you will inevitably be hindered everywhere, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
It is better to give the other party a step down, you respect me one foot, I respect you one foot, and both parties take a step back.
Stark understands that his wedding is actually a gesture of goodwill to those conservatives, giving both parties a chance to sit down and talk. Even if the talks can't produce any results, I have given you face like this, and you can use it to me again.
Jizi, I am the one standing on the moral high ground.
But he knew intellectually that Stark would feel aggrieved with such a temper, but he thought about it and didn't know who to blame, so he could only vent his anger by beating Reed in his dream.
Schiller had nothing to say, people always have to grow up, and Stark was lucky enough to have decades of childhood.
"It's time to abandon your illusions and face reality, Tony." Schiller turned to look at Stark and said: "This is destined to be a long and arduous struggle, but you are not fighting alone."
Stark exhaled a puff of smoke. His eyes were always full of water vapor, and when blown by the wind in the mountains, they looked moist and bright.
"I believe that the two great things in this world, truth and you, are both on my side. The one who wins the final victory will definitely be me, Tony Stark."
