"Mike, don't think too much." Mr. Roosevelt said with a smile: "This may not be a bad thing. Our country's population is already too large."
"Do you know how much medical care and insurance we pay every year for those who have retired and lost the ability to work?"
"This time, we don't even need to pay compensation, God can clean it up for us..."
General Mike slowly lowered his head.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were sharp!
"I can finally see that you don't care at all about what I say."
"Okay, let's not talk about the suffering of our compatriots or the destruction of our homeland."
General Mike suddenly smiled, with a strong confidence filling his eyes. He raised his right foot and took a puff of his cigar: "Then let me tell you the truth according to your thinking!"
“How long does it take to develop a mature worker?”
"How long does it take for a talent to master technology and knowledge?"
"You have invested in these!"
"In this way, let's do some calculations. Each mature worker can work for an average of thirty years and create a profit of US$200 for you every day. This is... US$1.8 million!"
At this moment, Mike learned to use consortium thinking to change their minds!
Since they don't regard human life as human life, then Mike turns bloody human lives into cold numbers!
The middle-aged fat man frowned: "Building a large underground shelter will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"Don't forget, they are different from you." General Mike said solemnly: "They don't need 100 million US dollars in decoration costs, they don't need a beautifully decorated church, and they don't need to build a horse specially built for them to buy for millions of dollars.
There is no need for a swimming pool in the underground stables... all they want is a safe bed!"
"They only need the simplest food and water, and enough living space!"
"One million and eighty million US dollars is nothing compared to this request!"
"The church you prepared for your mother, which is a few hundred square meters, can accommodate hundreds of people!"
General Mike banged the table hard.
"Oh?" The middle-aged fat man frowned: "So...this is a bit interesting."
"If you don't install an air filtration system, prepare a sunroom, don't prepare a church, stables, underground swimming pool, or underground racing track, if you just build a basement, each residence will be filled with bunk beds, no, three floors.
bed……"
This middle-aged fat man is the largest builder in the free country and has various construction groups under his name.
Building underground shelters is considered a specialty. He made a rough estimate and frowned: "So, a large-scale shelter with five underground floors, enough to accommodate 100,000 people, only costs 18 billion US dollars."
"And according to what you said, it will bring us a value of 180 billion US dollars! A profit rate of 1,000 percent!"
For a moment, the fat man's initially resisting face was filled with excitement: "This is a good deal!"
Others also changed from resisting to thoughtful.
"Yes, that's right, business!" General Mike said solemnly: "You can even let them work inside, you only need to pay meager wages, and you can sell food and water at high prices!"
As soon as these words came out, the representatives of other consortiums also lighted up.
This is no longer disaster relief.
But business!
Business can be discussed!
The representative of the Wal-Mart family that controls the retail industry nodded slightly: "So, as long as we hoard a lot of food and water, we can control these workers."
"In that closed environment, they can only buy food and water from us, and we only need to provide them with a payment that can barely keep them alive."
"By then...it will be a huge profit, no matter what price we pay, they will have to buy it!"
Mr. Carnegie couldn't help but nod slightly: "I can even let them continue to work inside and pay the rent at the same time!"
"Moreover, we can ask them to charge admission fees and then charge monthly rent. For example, the admission fee to enter the shelter is US$50,000, and then it will be US$2,000 per month. If you can't afford it, just leave!"
"In this way, when they no longer have the ability to work and cannot get paid, they can only...leave!"
It's self-evident what leaving the refuge represents.
"We don't even need to care for them in their old age, provide them with medical treatment, food and water after they lose the ability to work... Moreover, their death will not have anything to do with us, we just let them leave the shelter, it was the gods who killed them
, it has nothing to do with us!”
"In this way, the gods are doing us a favor."
Carnegie couldn't help laughing.
A representative of the family who started in the real estate industry smiled and said: "We can also provide tiered consumption. For those with financial means, we can build some luxurious shelters."
"For example, the most basic shelter is only made of cement and has rough quality without even a sewage system or water supply system. It only costs 10,000 U.S. dollars in admission, and the rent only costs 1,000 U.S. dollars."
"As for the higher-level ones, aimed at middle-level managers and small bosses worth millions, they have electricity, water supply, sewage, air filtration systems, sunrooms, and we can even install TVs and separate bathrooms to ensure that
In normal life, for the petty bourgeoisie, the ticket price is 50,000 US dollars and the rent is 5,000 US dollars a month."
"At a higher level, for elites with a net worth of tens of millions, we can also provide steaks, red wine, entertainment venues, and shopping venues. In addition to TVs, we can also install computers, and even install telephones and mobile phone signal towers to coordinate communications.
System! The tickets are... 100,000 US dollars, and the rent is 10,000 US dollars a month."
"The top level, in addition to those things, we also have underground racing tracks, underground racecourses, underground swimming pools, leisure clubs..."
"Even the water they use is not recycled water, but first-hand filtered water from the filtration equipment!"
"You can imagine that when a huge wave comes, you are swimming in an absolutely safe underground swimming pool, watching the tragic scene on TV, with beauties trained by the club next to you, and you can even drive a sports car on the underground racing track... That
It is fatally attractive to group CEOs with hundreds of millions of dollars!"
For a time, the atmosphere was hot!
Everyone discussed it with great enthusiasm.
When this matter was no longer about disaster relief, but a business that smacked of profit, these consortium representatives instantly felt like wild wolves smelling the smell of blood, extremely excited!
Those consortium representatives suddenly discovered how profitable this was!
What is a refuge?
The only safe place when danger comes!
If you go out, you will die!
And people will be the only consumers in that closed space!
They will exchange labor for survival. Even if it costs ten dollars to buy a bottle of water, even if the bottle of water is recycled from excrement, they will be happy with it.
Even if you can only rent a bed for a few months for a few thousand dollars, you can only grit your teeth and agree.
And they live in the humid air of that shelter, and their income from hard work every day... depends entirely on how much the consortium is willing to give them!
When it comes to interests, these consortium leaders seem to have unlimited energy, and have even discussed the specific benefits of shelters at all levels. For example, the most basic shelter has a room of 20 square meters per room and three tiers of beds, which can accommodate 50 people.
people.
Intermediate shelter, each room is 20 square meters, four-person room.
The more expensive ones are 20 square meters per room, double rooms, and can even be equipped with a separate bathroom.
"A shelter can accommodate many different classes, and some not-so-good equipment can also be installed below. For example, garbage disposal equipment...the garbage discharged from the high-level shelter above can be directly discharged to the low-level shelter below.
Digestion and sewage circulation filtration systems can also be placed there."
The Johnson family put forward constructive suggestions, "Although the air that the people below will breathe will be a little dirty and humid,... they will pay less rent in the first place."
"Moreover, they can survive, even if they breathe dirty air, they can still survive! This is all because of us! They even want to thank us!"
