It has been three months since the release of fruit rings and fruit flying cars. The impact of these two fantastic new technologies on all aspects of Chinese society is becoming increasingly prominent.

I won’t talk about the changes in the macro level, such as the decline in housing prices, the decline in prices, the popularity of the tourism market, etc. At the micro level, the mentality of ordinary people is also quietly changing.

Xiao Liu is an ordinary employee of a company. Three months ago, like many ordinary people, he lived a monotonous life day after day, enviing the rich people's spending and living a life of luxury and wealth. But now, Xiao Liu no longer envies those things.

Mr. Xie from the company just mentioned a new off-road fruit speed, and installed all the latest kits that can be installed. Xiao Liu saw that Mr. Xie had just posted a set of photos of him exploring in the Pacific Trench in his circle of friends, so he clicked a thumbs up.

Although he liked it, Xiao Liu was just out of politeness. At this moment, he was calm and did not envy and hate because Mr. Xie had just mentioned a high-end flying car. Although he was driving an ordinary business-type speed, and the price was only half that of Mr. Xie, he felt very satisfied. There is no special difference between a 200,000 speed and a 1 million speed only in terms of use. It doesn’t make much sense to say that the limit speed is a little faster. No matter how fast it is, it is also autonomous driving, right? In manual mode, can you drive to forty times the speed of sound?

Xiao Liu modified his business model, removed the extra seats in the rear row, and then installed a RV kit. Of course, these modifications were carried out at the modification factory designated by Leshen Group. Recently, the modification of this kind of RV was very popular. Many people who bought business models changed their cars into flying RVs, and this modification only cost less than 100,000 yuan. Including the original price of the car, it was only more than 300,000 yuan. Although more than 300,000 yuan is not a small amount, for most working-class people in China, they can still afford it. The most important thing is that after this change, the house will be completely saved, which is equivalent to owning a mobile villa that can be settled anywhere!

As for those so-called adventures, Xiao Liu was also very calm. If you want to go for adventures, why do you have to be in reality? It is both troublesome and unsafe, so how can you compare to exploring in a virtual world? In three months, Leshen Group has launched five new entertainment super-real immersion projects, including deep-sea adventures and desert adventures displayed at the press conference, as well as polar adventures, jungle adventures and grassland tourism. Each item is very playable. In these virtual projects, you can enjoy many high-end services that you can't imagine in real life by spending a little money. For example, enjoying French feasts and hundreds of thousands of yuan in red wine in a seven-star hotel. Of course, when both parties are willing, you can also do things that both of you "love to do" in the virtual world with your opposite sex partners. Under super real technology, this beautiful experience is no different from the real world!

Think about it, everyone can enjoy everything that top rich people can only enjoy in the real world, and each experience only costs a few dozen yuan! With such an experience, who will really envy the lives of rich people in reality? In the eyes of ordinary employees like Xiao Liu, the wealth that rich people have at this moment is just their burden! On the contrary, they simply go to work and get off work, earn a salary that can support themselves, without having to worry about their extra time, and have a lot of free time to enjoy. What's wrong with such a life?

Xiao Zhang is a lucky man who has just passed the civil service exam. He just entered the system. At the beginning, like many newcomers, he was walking on thin ice, trying hard to learn on the Internet, adapting to those messy unspoken rules. But now, Xiao Zhang's mentality is also quietly changing.

After get off work on weekends, the department organized a dinner party. The place I chose was a very distinctive home-cooked restaurant. The department leader sat in the middle, and the others naturally surrounded the leader. The waiter took the bottle and started pouring wine for everyone. When he arrived at Xiao Zhang, he covered the cup with his hands, smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I don't know how to drink."

"Hey, Xiao Zhang, how can a young man say he can't drink? Look, the leader has poured it on, how can you be empty? He will pour it on!" Hearing Xiao Zhang's words, the deputy section chief on the side glared at Xiao Zhang and said.

"Sorry, leader, I really don't know how to drink. I'm allergic to alcohol." Xiao Zhang said with a smile. Although his tone was very tactful, his attitude was very firm.

The waiter looked at Xiao Zhang with a strange look. According to common sense, young people actively demand "progress" in drinking parties like this, and it is rare for young people like Xiao Zhang to be there.

However, what happened next made the waiter even more unable to understand.

Not only Xiao Zhang, but the young people with him, basically responded like this. Some said they didn’t know how to drink, but no matter how the waiter advised him, they just refused to drink. Some said they liked to drink beer, and even brought beer on their own and filled them with them.

The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward. The deputy section chief laughed dryly and made a smooth move. The leader also made a haha. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt very unhappy!

"Young people today are getting more and more unruly!" The leader, who is over 50 years old, thought to himself.

He was a little confused about the young people nowadays. When he was young, when did he dare to fight against his leader like this in the unit? His leader dared not drink. Moreover, they all said so righteously. When they sat with him, they did not have that kind of respectful attitude. Although they looked very polite, they felt like they were on an equal footing, which made him wonder if he was having dinner with his subordinates?

Looking back on the changes over the past few months, he felt a little depressed. First of all, the young people no longer rush to "do private work" for him, such as rushing to clean the office and pour water into his cup. Of course, it is not that their work is not hard. In terms of their jobs, these young people are still very dedicated, but it seems that they are just like this. Apart from their jobs, they no longer seem to be willing to "express" more, such as flattering themselves, or expressing a little "small meaning" to themselves. This makes him very uncomfortable. Sometimes he even doubts whether he is still these young leaders?

Also, these young people seem to hate working overtime. Just like last Tuesday, when he was about to get off work, he called Xiao Zhang to his office and asked him to work overtime to write a summary. He originally thought this was a very ordinary and normal thing, but he did not expect that Xiao Zhang actually said that it was off work time and he had already made an appointment with his girlfriend to have dinner together!

Having a meal with his girlfriend! He actually refused to work overtime with this reason! The section chief has worked in this unit for decades and has never seen a young man who dares to talk to his leader like this! He dares to use such a reason to refuse to work overtime!

However, people are very confident, saying that they keep talking about labor laws, employee rights and interests, etc. On weekdays, he used these "big hats" to show off at meetings and materials. Who would have thought that a small clerk would dare to use these words to ask himself?

In short, he felt that everything was wrong. Although these young people still had superficial "respect" to him, it was not the same as the "respect" he wanted. He didn't understand why it suddenly turned out like this. Is it because the current post-90s generations are too full of personality?

Of course, this leader probably couldn't understand the thoughts of these young people no matter what. Because now he is completely out of touch with this era, although only three months have passed.

That's right, he is still used to using his folding phone worth more than 10,000 yuan produced by Sanbang Company. It's not because he thinks this phone is worthy of face. In fact, compared with the current super phones, this phone that can only display flat is simply too much. The reason he chose to continue using this phone is because he only knows how to use this phone with physical buttons!

He was still driving his Volkswagen sedan that was more than 200,000 yuan. It was not that he couldn't afford the flying car, but he couldn't drive it even if he bought it. He was worried that the game was dangerous. He flew so high and so fast, what if he fell off? Those are the games of young people. He was so old, so let it go!

Until now, he still can't type with a computer, let alone the new super mobile phone, which can be controlled by brain waves to achieve rapid input of thousands of words per minute. Of course, he doesn't need it, because all the writing work is done by the young people in the unit, and he is only responsible for signing a word on the document.

He doesn't understand super real immersion technology, and he doesn't want to understand it. He thinks that nothing is fun, it's just a game. And he's already past the age of playing "games", and those are tricks played by children.

However, he didn't know that in the eyes of those young people, his leader was even more tragic!

In an era when this world can operate at dozens of times the speed of sound, and falling in love or even getting married can be carried out in the virtual world, a person who still sticks to the traditional lifestyle, even if he is a leader, is no different from a primitive man! He thinks that he has the future and destiny of these young people and the resources for their "progress". With just one idea, he can determine the honor and disgrace of these people. But he doesn't know that in the eyes of these young people, he thinks that such important "power" and "progress" are not that huge attraction.

For these young people, this is just a job. Within eight hours, they will take the job seriously, but that's all. They work hard because of their sense of responsibility for the work itself, rather than wanting to "progress" or "promote" through such performance. Because in their opinion, the life in front of them can fully meet their expectations!

In the system, more and more young people, even middle-aged people, have such ideas. And those elderly people who refuse to integrate into this new normal and are self-consistent are in a more and more embarrassing situation because they find that their "authority" and "existence" are getting weaker and weaker, and there are fewer and fewer scenes of being out there, and more and more business affairs are being done. What makes them even more scared is that the society around them is developing too fast, so fast that they can't understand. They no longer know how to manage this new society, and those new problems are emerging!

Some old and conservative stubborn people in the Chinese system are having a headache, and in the circle of rich people in China, those rich people with billions of dollars, especially rich second generations, also have their own worries.

An ancient Chinese saying goes: Wealth and honor will not return to our hometown, just like walking in a brocade dress at night. It means that if a person becomes rich and successful, but does not return to his hometown, and let the villagers who are familiar with him see their wealth and success, it is like wearing luxurious clothes and walking in the dark night. For these rich people, they have billions of dollars in wealth, like beautiful women, food must be delicious, and luxury cars must be picked up and dropped off. Such a life is of course enviable in the past. They also like to post on WeChat Moments at every turn, or hold birthday parties, and show off their superiority in front of ordinary people.

But such days are gradually gone after the emergence of super real immersion technology and flying car technology. A post on WeChat Moments about taking a vacation abroad no longer licking countless people, showing off their beautiful luxury cars, and no one is asking for protection. These material things are no longer attractive to ordinary people. Although they are not as rich as themselves, they can enjoy a life as even more luxurious as themselves in the virtual world. Don’t say that those are fake, under super real immersion technology, that is true!

This confused them a little. Are they so rich and successful? In the end, they are the same as those ordinary people? What is the meaning of their wealth and success?

The impact and changes of these two epoch-making products on Chinese society can be said to be soaked in everyone's life, even at the spiritual level. Although these are only two technical products, the huge impact they have far exceeded the effects that technological products can achieve!

In a nutshell, these two products instantly make most Chinese people feel happy!

Are you happy? This question has once caused heated discussions among countless Chinese people, and even CCTV has conducted an exclusive interview for this. Of course, in this fast-paced society, whether it is successful or the people at the bottom of the society, it seems difficult to say the word "happiness". No matter how successful they are, they always seem to be in a state of anxiety.

But now, if you ask many Chinese people the question "Are you happy?" again, I'm afraid many people's answers will be the same.

I am very happy!
