Looking at the barber's serious expression, Malt Liquor pushed up his glasses, revealing a soft smile that was inconsistent with that intellectual and delicate face.
Ale's upper body leaned forward. If the godfather hadn't huddled in the armchair, this action would have even allowed them to smell each other's breath.
She made a sweet voice: "Dad~"
Although the pronunciation is similar, the barber can clearly tell that the person calling him is not "godfather".
He calmly stared at the other party's lake green pupils.
"This is the reason why you called for strangulation alone."
The godfather said slowly.
When Hangsha heard his name, he turned around and listened carefully.
"Strangling this man is very simple. He comes from his heart and intends to create an order of the Uncoded in the lower city. He has a desire to control power itself, and at the same time he is my friend and leader. When he heard that he wanted to put me on the throne, It must be that after a little regret, I feel sincerely happy...right."
When the godfather said this, he looked at each other to confirm the other person's thoughts.
Hangsha nodded without hesitation: "That's right."
"So you were deceived."
The godfather replied simply.
When Hangsha heard this, he frowned and looked back at the malt wine.
He was never a smart person.
Otherwise, given that he already possesses overwhelming authority and force... he would not be able to perfectly rule even the small White Lion Group.
But Strangler is still a suspicious person. He cannot trust uncoded people other than mages. He only believes in the position brought by his identity.
Originally, in order to move forward for the White Lion Group, he could only exhaust his brain and barely think.
But that was not the case after the barber came...
After getting to know his godfather, he gradually became accustomed to a life of giving up thinking.
"You're still confusing my question."
The godfather looked at the ale: "What I ask is not 'Why do we need to form a political power to control Xiacheng District', but 'What will be the impact of forming a political power in Xiacheng District'.
"You're right. Even if I don't come, someone will. I believe Tovatus will definitely try to organize a big alliance. Secondly, those people who came down from the upper city who have not had their chips removed will also form an alliance. .may even compete with us for living space.
"The essence of this matter is that a small circle that was originally stable suddenly attracted many people. Their number is similar to the total number of the previous circle, but they are unstable, panicked, and noisy. They are in order to 'peace of mind' , will become aggressive and try to invade the territory of the indigenous people..."
Just like the originally gentle green grasshoppers, when the population density is too high and food is scarce, they will turn into extremely aggressive yellow "locusts".
"Then what I said is wrong?"
Ale shrank back to his seat: "If we in the lower city district cannot bring out a speaker before they arrive, there will even be a civil war after they enter the lower city district."
But when the barber heard this, he just looked at her deeply and straightly, even looking at the malt wine, which made her feel a little scared.
"I see."
He said softly: "I understand. This is your purpose."
"...What is it?"
Ale laughed out loud, but the barber knew that she was hiding her uneasiness: "I don't even know what I'm worried about..."
"'Worried'. That's what you said."
The man replied: "You are just 'worrying'."
His voice was clear and melodious, as if he could sing at any time, but now just uttering a word is enough to shock people.
"You have seen the future. It is inevitable that the upper city will fall into chaos, and it is inevitable that they will enter the lower city. This is indeed good.
"Ultimately, this is because Tianen Group does not intend to solve the problems they are facing...and more importantly, they don't care."
The godfather knocked on the armrest of the chair: "You also know that the number of uncoded people on Happy Island is the largest, and they also occupy the largest area.
"But why is this? Is it because we are strong? Is it because we are united? Is it because the company is afraid of us?"
He asked questions one after another. Although he sat motionless in the chair, his momentum was so compelling.
As for the answer, actually even strangulation knows it.
"The answer is simple, because the company doesn't care. In other words, those of us who don't code are being exploited by the company.
"The real problem is... we survive not because we are strong or numerous. It's because companies don't care.
"Recognize the reality! Those who will enter the lower city area are originally a group of losers, people who have been eliminated by the fast-paced life in the upper city area.
"Whether they enter Xiacheng District voluntarily or are driven in because they have no other choice, Xiacheng District plays the role of accommodating garbage. And what if those people with chips also choose to come to Xiacheng District to escape life for a period of time?
“What will be the company’s attitude?”
Without waiting for Malt Liquor's answer, the godfather replied calmly: "The answer is, the company will be very happy."
"……Why?"
Hangsha couldn't help but ask: "Why is the company happy when the number of people in our lower city has increased?"
"Although personally speaking, life in Shangcheng District and Xiacheng District will be much different. Without a chip, there is no digital currency, you can't shop, and you can't walk openly in Shangcheng District. If someone from the enforcement department sees you, you will be attacked and arrested.
, expulsion.
"But in fact, for the height of the company... there is not much difference between living in the upper city and lower city."
The barber sighed.
He is not actually that smart, otherwise he wouldn't have to imitate others to survive.
It's just that he has read a lot of books in another world and has a lot of knowledge. At most, he can feel other people's emotions and psychology, and vaguely touch the essence of the other person's personality. Other than that, he is an ordinary ordinary person.
But in this world where even knowledge and history are controlled, one can actually become a wise man because of this...
He calmed down his emotions and continued to explain: "Because the fundamental problem is that the company only needs a very small number of people to produce the fruits of their labor.
"In fact, the vast majority of labor is meaningless. They are all labor performed for the survival and life of more people... So, what if there are not so many 'people' as a market?
"But because of the automatic factories in Xiacheng District, the most basic basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation can be met. And Tianen Group is a monopoly group whose main business is culture and entertainment... In this case, how many companies in Shangcheng District must exist
?How many people can they not lose?
"The first half of what Malt Liquor said is correct. Unrest is bound to happen, it's just a matter of time.
"It's different from what those people think... They think that entering Xiacheng District is the most refreshing and radical revenge on the company. But for the company, these people voluntarily entering Xiacheng District is a solution to both problems.
"The 'garbage' went into the trash can by itself, which reduced the management costs of Shangcheng District; and when the situation is relieved, they will crawl out again and enter the market environment to resume paying behavior excitedly.
"That's so thoughtful."
The barber quipped: “They thought they were taking revenge on the company and escaping uptown, but in fact this was exactly what the company wanted to see.
"And it's precisely because companies are happy to see this happen that it becomes the inevitable future. Don't reverse the order."
"...In other words," Hangsha finally understood what the barber meant, "were those people essentially driven out by the company themselves?"
"So you should also know what it means to unify Xiacheng District at this time."
The godfather chuckled: "If we say that criminals and uncoded people are 'permanent' garbage. Those 'temporary residents' who are not even prepared to remove their chips are 'temporary garbage.' When prices stabilize again, they will still
Going back...
"Tianen Group does not need their labor. The positions created for these people are meaningless, so without them there is no real 'matter'. They have been poached as soon as they leave their jobs, or even before they leave their jobs."
.
"However, the market requires them to pay. And if the 'substantive political power' of Xiacheng District is established, it means one thing.
"That is, we are competing with the company for 'payers'. From this perspective, we have become a 'competitor' of Tianen Group."
"...But we are not even a company."
"That doesn't matter. Because in essence, we are competing with them for the 'market'."
From an irrelevant "garbage heap" to a "competitor" competing for the market.
