Chapter 26 Social Change at the Macro Level
Jin Lili looked at Lu Yiming's expression, paused, and said, "You should relax and don't be so serious. East China City is rich and the social environment is actually pretty good, and there are very few supernatural phenomena. On average, run errands once a week, and it is likely that it is not a serious matter, but some people have sudden whims and are bored and cause trouble."
"The poorer the place, the more troubles we have, we are relatively leisurely."
Lu Yiming was stunned. This was actually a bit similar to Professor Huang's theory, because the poorer the place, the more superstitious the thoughts were.
"...If you meet some public officials who know you and you need them to cooperate with your work, open the software on your phone, make a call on the above, and you will soon notify them to cooperate with you."
"But don't use your power indiscriminately, because every action you do is recorded in the file. If you do it too out of order, you will still be criticized."
"No, no!" Lu Yiming said quickly, "I am still very honest and will not bully others on the initiative."
Some people become arrogant when they have some power, and think they are superior and treat chicken feathers as tokens. From the university student union to the workplace and officialdom, there are many such people.
It is actually hard for Lu Yiming to imagine why many people have such inexplicable interest in showing off, and he has no desire to bully others.
To put it bluntly, his personality is just a bit of a salty attitude. If you can live in harmony, just live in harmony as much as possible... Can you prove that you are superior to others by quarreling?
After explaining these precautions, it is actually a very leisurely job.
Lu Yiming said: "I promised to treat you to dinner and order whatever you want."
"Ha, I'll kill you hard. I know a delicious restaurant!"
Zhong Peng still looked so taciturn, he basically didn't like to talk. Seeing Lu Yiming's eyes, he just nodded slightly.
The three of them walked into a small restaurant near the security company, and the "big rice bucket canteen".
The environment here is very good and the price is not expensive. Since it is an internal restaurant, the confidentiality agreement is relatively loose, and everyone chats casually in a private room, and the atmosphere is quite relaxing.
"Hey, my biggest dream now is to find a trick that suits me and enhance my superpowers..."
"It's really hard to say what the future will be..."
"Even if you find it, it's very dangerous to explore it yourself, right?" Lu Yiming took a sip of water and asked casually: "These things can kill people, and there is a chance of mutation."
Jin Lili said with a frown: "Oh, that's right. But no matter how suitable the tricks in the research institute are, they only have the right to use and do not have the ownership of the items. If there are two similar superpowers, how can they be allocated?"
"The number of superpowers like you is smaller. The number of superpowers like us is one of the largest number of people. I am not the only one with the regeneration ability..."
"If possible, it is best to find a trick yourself as a trump card. As long as it is found by yourself, the first ownership belongs to you. Although the risk is very high, the benefits are also very high. And even if you can't use it, you can still use it to trade with the institute..."
"Oh, yes."
Lu Yiming could understand this statement.
However, the appearance of tricks is often accompanied by supernatural events with higher levels of danger, so how can it be so easy to find?
...
The next few days were indeed calm. Lu Yiming even felt that he was an idle person who did nothing, and he had almost nothing to do, no tasks, and no abnormalities.
Anyway, he was bored while idle. He began to carefully observe this society through the Internet channels, trying to peek at some clues.
Even though government departments have used their greatest strength to cover up some facts that have happened, they can still observe the subtle changes that are taking place in this world from various macro perspectives.
The first point is the surge in stocks!
Some shareholders of some giant companies are reducing their holdings in large quantities, and some celebrity stocks are clearly at low levels, but also reducing their holdings in large quantities, which seems a bit unusual.
The only reason Lu Yiming could think of is that these top rich people who learned the news are selling their shares and wanting to buy a large number of "ship tickets".
The price of "ship tickets" is undoubtedly extremely expensive. The research institute's expenses are so large that it is not only enough for government support, but also part of it depends on the financial assistance of these top wealthy people.
If the end of the world really comes, stocks or money will inevitably become waste paper. It is better to buy your own life.
This fact is helpless, but it is also naked and cruel.
He sighed in his heart: "In any era, when disaster strikes, the chances of the rich will be higher than those of the poor."
The so-called "rich cannot last for three generations" is because if the ancestors had not been rich, the poor may have lost their children and grandchildren...
Secondly, there is a second point. Unlike the stock market, the prices of bulk commodities such as rebar, iron ore, copper, and silver have risen for many years, and it is like a super bull market!
This is completely inconsistent with the current economic situation, because when the economy is weak, the prices of commodities are often weak.
A group of economists from securities companies called it "incredible". In fact, they couldn't figure out why the prices of these materials were so strong.
Lu Yiming speculated that the construction of some super projects may require a large amount of these materials, which has led to a long-term bull market for commodities.
After getting this information, he pondered: "In other words, this super project is unlikely to be placed in space... Humans have not landed on the moon for a long time, and the most advanced rocket can only launch hundreds of tons of things, and it is unlikely that large numbers of people will escape."
"So, this super project is still on Earth."
There is also a third strange phenomenon. Political disputes at home and abroad are basically invisible, except for some trade disputes.
There are fewer and fewer political fights, as if world peace has been achieved...
Some small countries are still in conflict, and the great powers have become extremely harmonious.
In other words, this world has not fought for a long time, and the leaders of various countries have become more and more Buddha-like, and cooperation among various countries is far greater than competition.
World peace was simply unimaginable in the past!
What’s even more strange is that through the agreement of “Internet Sovereign Space”, various countries have completed firewalls one after another, and people of all countries can only see news from all over the country.
The reason is also very simple. According to Lu Yiming's guess, governments around the world are busy covering up various supernatural events. In the face of a S-class super disaster that is about to break out, all kinds of trivial matters have become inadequate.
These are all strange things that are difficult to conceal the macro level in society.
