Chapter 391 Pale Money

Bai Zhongqi and his girlfriend Han Jiaxue were chatting and then walked into a noodle shop. This noodle shop had obviously just opened not long ago. The door was not small and the decoration was very elegant.

The shop owner was a tall, middle-aged man with a beard and a kind face. When he saw Han Jiaxue coming in, he smiled and greeted her: "Counsellor Han is here, please take a seat. This is your boyfriend, he is really a talented person." "

Bai Zhongqi also smiled at the shop owner. He had slightly modified his appearance, and with his different clothes and temperament, almost no one would recognize him as the head of state.

Han Jiaxue introduced with a smile: "I often come to this restaurant to eat. The boss is very nice."

"It's regular customers like Counselor Han who take care of the business. Not long after we opened, many good friends started to like our store, and I'm really scared. I also have to thank the government, otherwise there wouldn't be a store like mine."

Bai Zhongqi didn't understand how he could flatter him in this matter.

Han Jiaxue explained: "The Special Administrative Region is now implementing a self-employment support plan. Our new chief executive still has a bit of a class concept. He seems to be averse to some people speculating and getting rich during the transition stage, or to the large domestic business owners who took the opportunity to hoard resources. Therefore, the SAR now supports all self-employed individuals."

The shop owner pointed to the store with a smile and said: "This shop was leased to me for free by the city government. There will be no rent for five years. I have to pay the management fee, but it is not much money. Moreover, the city government's development The office also directly invested money and did not occupy shares or participate in management. It simply supported subsidies. As a self-employed person in the service industry, we also arranged to hire staff or provide bionic waiters. What’s even more amazing is that we also have special guidance, which saves money. A lot of heart.”

Han Jiaxue praised: "Boss, your craftsmanship is still good."

The shop owner said with emotion: "Before I came to Taiping, I was a part-time worker. I had some ramen skills. I also tried to open a shop, but all failed. I am not really good at business, but I am best at making noodles and making soup. . You can’t make much money by working for others. After coming to Taiping, not only did I have a basic income, but I also now have my own store. Even though my store is not big, there are people coming and going, so my costs are low and I make a lot of money. It’s a lot, hahaha.”

Bai Zhongqi also felt sad after hearing the story of the shop owner. He has also met the newly appointed chief executive of the SAR. He is an official from Country C, and his tendencies are really red and left. This is an economic official who supports the large state-owned economy and the small private economy. Obviously, these things carried out by the special zone are also the experimental field of country C itself.

A series of infrastructure and social services in the special zone are now all monopolized by Starlink companies. There is another aspect of the special zone that is more radical than other areas, and that is agriculture. A range of food supplies are provided directly to citizens by Starlink Farms. With advanced technology, resources, and capital, such an agricultural giant will basically defeat a large number of farmers as soon as it appears, especially some small farmers that still exist in country C.

However, the small farmer class does not have much objection to this, because even after they stop farming, they still receive a basic income, which is more than their original income from farming. Moreover, many people were liberated from the land and entered the national service system to find other jobs. Some family farms still exist, but basically Country C sends specialized personnel from the Agriculture Bureau to guide them in differentiated production, planting and processing high value-added cash crops, and also equips them with many newer and more cutting-edge agricultural machinery.

Under such a general background, any large private enterprise will basically encounter obstacles in the economic system under the Star Alliance. Bai Zhongqi even heard that after the establishment of Starlink's super monopoly economic system, it caused a strong rebound from the so-called private entrepreneurs, but this rebound was of little use.

Some people went on hunger strike, and some jumped off buildings, saying that the government had blocked their way out. However, it is impossible for the Star Alliance to compromise with these guys who want to make personal profits. Whether it is the head of state or the Star Alliance as a collective will, what they want is for the entire earth and even the people of all administrative planets to achieve a universally better life. Rather than a certain person or family becoming extremely wealthy or enjoying a transcendent social and economic status.

Places like Nansha District provide special support for people with special skills to run their own businesses and start their own businesses. The government does not expect these people to drive the economy or create employment. On the one hand, it hopes that these people can work and embody value in their labor; on the other hand, it hopes to achieve social diversity, diversity, and a prosperous social structure.

Star Alliance's economic concept does not exclude legal personal property, nor does it exclude wealthy people, but the premise is that wealth is created by hard work and wisdom, rather than through exploitation and speculation.

Of course, this economic transformation is not a terrible bloody millstone. Taking Country C as an example, there are a large number of people who were billionaires before. Regardless of how legitimate their wealth was, most of them have inherited their wealth into the new era. Naturally, this wealth will be severely reduced due to the conversion of RMB into Starlink currency and the extremely complex algorithm, or in some cases, it will be forced to replace the capital with movable real estate. However, a rich man is still a rich man. Their business may have failed, but their family fortune is still strong.

Among them are some visionary people who quickly transformed wealth into new technological equipment. For example, companies engaged in real estate development have introduced new construction technologies. Even if they are squeezed by Starlink construction and engineering companies locally, they can move to other international regions to undertake projects and still make a fortune. For example, the original resource-based company, after the same technological innovation, directly leased Star Alliance's civilian mining ships to go to other planets in the solar system, and even directly went to other galaxies to provide various resources for Star Alliance.

These people got rich very quickly, but because Star Alliance was so huge, it was difficult for private companies and capitalists to have any room for bargaining with Star Alliance. If the Star Alliance government throws any jobs at them, these companies will be like mad dogs chasing after meat and bones, shaking their heads and wagging their tails shamelessly, seizing every opportunity to make money.

Unfortunately, Starlink currency is just a currency calculated through a complex model, and the amount to be issued is dictated by the Starlink economic department. In the Star Alliance, money only represents wealth, but cannot affect power, because money has no meaning for the operation of the Supreme Order of the Head of State. No matter what the head of state does, he will not be checked by money. And even if it is to prevent political elections, money has officially been decoupled from the scope of donations.

For hundreds of years, money has never been as weak and pale as it is today on earth.
