In Hanzhou in May, the weather alternates between warm and cold, and the streets are bustling with people.
Some people have put on hot pants in the midsummer season, while others are dressed in spring and autumn clothes with long sleeves.
Chen Feng wore a simple polo shirt and a pair of casual cropped pants he bought casually in Los Angeles. On the surface, he looked ordinary, but paired with the peaked cap and dark glasses he wore to conceal his whereabouts, he looked a little suspicious.
.
He was sitting in the restaurant next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, eating big gulps of rice while turning his head to look at the pedestrians and busy traffic on the street through the glass.
Someone was walking while playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and then accidentally kicked his toe on the gap of the upturned tiles, grinning in pain.
A taxi stopped on the side of the road, the back seat door opened, and a woman got out of the car with an angry face.
A man jumped out of the car door behind her and hurriedly chased after her.
The man tried to hold the woman's hand.
The woman breaks free, is pulled again, breaks free again, and so on.
There was also a man on the roadside, holding a stack of documents in his left hand and a phone in his right hand. He seemed to be speaking carefully.
After a while, he hung up the phone silently and suddenly became dejected.
He walked to the trash can, looked down at the information in his hand, and suddenly tore it into pieces piece by piece with a ferocious expression, and then threw the scraps of paper into the trash can.
There were also two middle school students carrying schoolbags skipping past on the street.
One of the students pointed to the cars on the road while walking, and the student next to him cast envious eyes on his face from time to time.
On the road, an ambulance whizzed over.
The heavy traffic blocking the road in front quickly moved to both sides of the road, leaving a lifeline for the ambulance.
Chen Feng inexplicably found the tranquility of time in this seemingly busy modern city that is difficult for others to taste.
He recalled the passage street in the capital of Shu and the Star Front Fortress in the thirty-first century.
The two eras are completely different, and the city's style is also completely different.
There are no cars on the streets in the thirty-first century, and no one is walking in a hurry.
The means of transportation are various aerial vehicles, the first of which is an anti-gravity aircraft. The more high-end ones add a high-speed magnetic propulsion function. The even more high-end ones are like Chen Feng himself, who directly uses a warp-like engine.
The aircraft can go anywhere on the earth within twenty minutes.
Just like an ambulance, a life-critical special vehicle, there is no need to travel hard on the ground and have to wait for others to give way. Instead, it takes over the fixed contours of the air high-speed traffic in an instant, and then quickly reaches the destination.
There is absolutely no possibility of endless entanglement between young men and women.
The arousal level is appropriate, and I think you are pleasing to the eye, so I will directly select an optimized match partner.
As for whether to combine or not, that depends on mood and fate.
If you are in love with me and we are happy with each other, then we will unite.
I don't think it's interesting. Even though we became a legal couple, we still didn't bother to see each other for ten or eight years.
On the surface, it seems that people in the 31st century benefit from completely different levels of science and technology, and their lives are much more comfortable and convenient. However, in fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
It is actually difficult to say who is happier.
"Mr. Chen, this is your soy sauce duck."
The restaurant waiter brought Chen Feng's tenth dish and cleared the plates calmly.
Mr. Chen's appetite is now famous in several restaurants and fly restaurants near Kelai Apartment.
A meal with ten dishes will only make you half full.
Every time he comes to visit, the shop owners seem to be celebrating the New Year.
"Thank you."
"By the way, Mr. Chen, there have been a lot of strange people near the Ke Lai Apartment complex in the past two days. I can see some of them day and night, pretending to be passing by, and they're just lying."
Chen Feng could vaguely guess who it was, and he didn't care. He said thanks, "Yeah, I understand, thank you for reminding me."
"Mr. Chen, you still have to pay attention to your safety. Now you are a celebrity. I bet these people are not good people and their behavior is very suspicious. I am very good at recognizing people, so I will definitely not make a mistake."
The waiter didn't want to leave after talking, so he said a few more words to show off.
Chen Feng was used to this.
After dinner, he straightened his hat, walked out of the restaurant and returned to the community.
He thought he had nothing else to do, so he might as well go to the company to check on the situation.
Lu Wei has announced her engagement, so there should be some big changes in the company.
As he walked, he was thinking about some questions.
He was used to a busy life, and would always take the initiative to put pressure on himself in all aspects of life. Suddenly he started to hang up and take care of things. Although it was very relaxing and comfortable, he was not used to it.
As he walked, he carefully recalled and organized the "Plan" in his mind.
In the "Plan", his main policies for the next two years have not changed much.
Songs, movies, and games are still the main directions of his industry in the entertainment sector.
In the science and technology section, the innovative technology in Starfeng Research Institute is still the main focus, supplemented by "Madman's Conjecture Collection" to increase its influence and directly prepare shortcuts for the current generation and future generations.
The smart people in the planning institute also prepared a lot of tricks and tricks for him. If he continues to use these tricks, he can continue to dilute the equity of Ou and his son in Xingfeng Research Institute and Xingfeng Entertainment, and further realize the concentration of wealth.
Chen Feng’s view on this is rather ambiguous.
First of all, he feels that he is rich enough now, and the combined value of the unlisted assets under his name can easily exceed the tens of billions mark.
Even if he doesn't make any more money from now on and is a pure prodigal, he won't be able to lose all his money in several lifetimes.
Thirdly, he also knows that he will be richer in the future.
He has been the richest man in the world more than once.
Master Chen thinks that is actually meaningless.
Although he has always been diligent and frugal, it does not mean that he is really obsessed with money.
I used to love money because I was poor. If I didn't work hard to earn, I wouldn't have enough to spend, and life would be tiring.
But when the money was so much that it was just a number, he felt nothing.
After all, no amount of money can buy the future of human civilization from those with compound eyes.
He does not make money in business to satisfy his personal luxury desires, nor does he pursue self-achievement and social responsibility satisfaction like other big businessmen.
Ever since he half-passively and half-actively decided to shoulder the burden of the savior, his sense of satisfaction and responsibility had long been full.
In the past, he needed money because he wanted to control the allocation of resources, so that he could devote all his efforts to the aerospace field and try to intercept Voyager 1 and 2, no matter the cost.
Now that it's better, the highest motivation that supported his will in several timelines in the past is gone. He no longer has to rush out, which will inevitably lead to a big change in his strategy.
He can face the advancement of science and technology with a more peaceful mind, jump out of the categories of aerospace, materials science, and energy science, and look at all scientific and technological fields of the entire civilization from a more macro perspective.
With the two pillars of materials and energy as the premise, he can follow the ideas of the "Plan" and allocate more resources to many fields such as biology, medicine, artificial intelligence, etc., and strive to achieve the best results of simultaneous advancement.
Of course, aerospace is still very important, and it still needs to be developed with emphasis. If it is promoted to a sufficient level early, more advanced colonial ships and scientific research ships can be sent out of the solar system earlier, and more colonies can be prepared for the next war.
It's just that he no longer needs to set off "fireworks" like crazy when the technological level fails to meet the requirements for safe navigation.
If he can save this money, he can naturally invest it in other industries.
At the same time, Chen Feng was still reflecting on some of the core thinking in the "Plan".
I don’t know if these people did it on purpose or if they were really out of their minds. They were clearly talking about the “Five-Hundred Development Plan for Human Civilization”, but the central idea was still to concentrate all resources into Chen Feng’s Xingfeng Group industry.
Chen Feng said, I appreciate your kindness.
But I don’t need to set off fireworks, so why do I need so much money? Can I just cover myself with a quilt to keep me warm?
Changing the core idea of setting off fireworks naturally led to a decrease in his desire to control resource allocation.
His thoughts went another way.
Let the same money play a greater role in the entire society, which is much better than eating alone.
So money does not necessarily have to be completely in your own hands.
First of all, as his own assets continue to expand, Chen Feng can no longer personally intervene in every dollar of expenditure.
He must and can only consider the problem from a more macro perspective.
So at this time, the importance of talents is reflected.
Good talents can help him expand his territory in a certain field and help him optimize the allocation of some resources.
A powerful person can spend one dollar to get two dollars of social value.
However, the scope of ability of a capable person is often not omnipotent and should be limited to a certain field.
A field obtains a capable person, and then provides the resource scale matching the capable person, allowing him to maximize the social value of this part of the wealth.
Then we get more and more capable people...
Chen Feng believes that he should change his thinking from crazy grabbing wealth to rational grabbing wealth.
Your wealth should not be simply the money in your account, it is just a dead number stored in the bank.
I should only be a transit point.
Your own money should be turned into various industries to feed more people and create more current and future value.
For example, factories, workshops, and equipment that have become manufacturing plants; vehicles and warehouses in the logistics industry; server centers and cloud computing centers in the Internet industry; facade leases in the housing agency industry; land contracts on farms and seeds sprouting in the ground;
Laboratory equipment and pharmaceuticals in scientific research institutes with strong enough scientific research and innovation capabilities, etc.
Regardless of the primary, secondary or tertiary industries, there are always things in them that have real value and can feed many people.
These industrial resources with real value will continue to absorb external liquidity and then be redistributed in the form of employee wages, operating costs, taxes, charitable investment, and physical depreciation and amortization.
On the surface, the value of the industry still belongs to him and is creating profits for him.
But from a deeper perspective, these industries create value for employees, suppliers, and society as a whole.
At the same time, his wealth was continuously invested in the process of appreciation, and under the control of him and many capable subordinates, it turned into more benign industries.
When his wealth increases, it is no longer an isolated personal wealth amplification, but a comprehensive overall amplification that surrounds him and is based on various industries.
When his fixed assets and current assets are enlarged simultaneously due to good operating conditions, a siphon effect will be formed. Larger fixed assets can attract larger current assets, and part of the larger current assets will be retained and become larger.
of fixed assets.
This is a flowing process. The essence of wealth is a pond. The means of production just mentioned are actually the water in this pond, which can raise fish.
This pool cannot be a pool of stagnant water; it must always be in and out.
Only liquid money is active money.
If a certain part of the money must be deposited, then in addition to becoming Chen Feng's industry with a fixed value, this money should also be the employees' houses, food in their rice bowls, and employees' expenses when spending outside, and these money will become
It becomes other people's income and enters the social flow process, and in this flow process, new technologies and small improvements that can be added up are constantly spawned.
The economic operation of society is a huge flowing system.
You cannot and should not turn your money into a number frozen somewhere. Instead, you should make your industry a new transfer station or amplifier that can not only promote technological progress but also bring a better life.
Or pipes.
So, in the process of wealth redistribution, it is indeed necessary to allow more reliable and capable people to continue to join this link.
After all, a person's energy is always limited. If you worry about everything and try to take over everything, you will neither be able to achieve perfection nor be exhausted in advance.
It would be better to continue to decentralize power, distribute part of the profits, and recruit some equally outstanding "wealth redistributors", that is, businessmen with a sense of social responsibility to board their own warships, such as Ou Guohua.
This will inevitably allow others to make a lot of money, but as long as this person, like Ou Guohua, does not use money to do evil, but uses technology to do good, what's wrong with making him rich?
Chen Feng believes that his money will become like himself, a pipeline after another.
Continuously collect resources in a scientific and reasonable way and then distribute them to amplify the value.
The difference is that you absorb resources from the future, while your money absorbs and transforms resources from this era.
These are the core ideas he compiled after reading part of the "Plan" and then integrating them into his own thinking.
When he was in his prime, he still had to worry about having enough food to eat and had no time to think about these issues.
Now that he is not short of money and has assumed responsibilities, he will naturally think more than ordinary people.
When he was about to enter the underground parking lot of Ke Lai Apartment, he smiled and said to himself: "In this case, let's give it a try."
"Mr. Chen Feng, can you get in the car and talk for a while?"
A figure suddenly appeared from behind the parking lot door.
This is a fat middle-aged man with a shiny face and a good diet.
Obviously this person's body is not as wide as the fat guy in Europe, but he looks more greasy.
Behind the middle-aged men there are several strong men.
Chen Feng didn't know him, but he could guess his purpose.
"We're not familiar with each other, so there's no need to talk about it."
He was rejected on the spot, and the other party's expression suddenly turned cold, but it was obvious that he knew some information and did not dare to act rashly.
The fat man snorted, "It's not a skill to rely on women to get to the top."
Chen Feng shrugged, "What you said seems very out of style. I was actually thinking just now that I should give up some profits and let more capable people join me in redistributing social resources.
"
The other person looked happy.
But Chen Feng immediately changed the subject, "But it definitely doesn't include people like you."
The fat man gritted his teeth, "Do you know who I am?"
Chen Feng nodded, "I can probably guess that you are the representative of those who are causing trouble for me. But I can also ask you, do you know who I am? This kind of chat is not nutritious, so I say goodbye."
After turning around and taking two steps, he paused again, turned around and said again: "You may have the illusion that the Lu family is my towering tree. This idea is quite boring. I only have one towering tree, and it is my own.
Conscience. I can maintain forbearance and restraint only because I have a conscience."
"I also understand the narrow vision of people like you. After all, you can only see what is in front of you, unlike me. You can't think of any achievements that will benefit the present and the future. But I am not in a hurry. There will always be many people in this country.
It’s different from you. There are black and white in the world, you are black, but more people are white.”
