Chapter 3634 Christmas New Look (8)

Chapter 3634: Christmas New Look (VIII)

The harm of monopoly is self-evident. Even if we ignore ordinary people, for Lex, this model is not what he wants.

As we all know, the bigger the stall, the more people will get involved. Everyone has his or her own ideas and wants to gain benefits for himself or herself and his or her own interest groups.

For example, the industry in Metropolis is already saturated. Lex wants to expand production to other cities on the East Coast, but other cities also have their own interest groups. If your Luther Group wants to come, you will naturally have to give us benefits.

This group of people didn't just want money. They also wanted to get a piece of the pie from the expansion of the Luther Group. Naturally, they wanted management power, so they naturally had to nominate their own people among the shareholders. If they wanted to take over, someone had to step down. But no one was willing to step down.

The shareholders are not happy that they have so many means of production but cannot put them into production and make no money. Therefore, they often agree to the unreasonable demands of local interest groups just to start production as soon as possible.

But once the local gangs become powerful among the shareholders, they will naturally threaten the interests of Lex Luthor, the helmsman. They just won't listen to you, what can you do? Can you really demolish factories in other places?

What's more frightening is that once the princes become powerful, not only will they be unable to control their fiefdoms, but the Zhou emperor may also be threatened. Once the shareholders unite to short Lex, he will probably have no choice but to leave. It is not impossible for the Luther Group to change its owner.

So even though the Luther Group is in a much better state than the Wayne Group, it is still in a state of being too big to be eliminated. Lex is also in urgent need of intervention and a breakthrough.

But after all, he is not as anxious as Bruce, so he can wait - wait until the Wayne Group can no longer hold on and is about to collapse, and Bruce will naturally find a way. This time he has waited for it.

But Lex is not a pushover. He is a human supremacist who believes that although Brainiac's management and rule are good for most people, once he goes wrong, it will be a devastating disaster.

In order to ensure safety, he did not stay on Earth to reset himself during these three years, but stayed in the Dou World in order to crack Brainiac's underlying protocol.

The underlying protocol is not a fatal thing to Brainiac. It cannot destroy him, nor can it affect him through remote control. However, as long as the underlying protocol is not removed, his behavior will be subject to certain restrictions.

But then again, Brainiac was not created by humans, and his underlying protocol was not written by humans. So the restrictions in his underlying protocol are actually just to obey the original Kryptonian Council. And Krypton is destroyed, so this underlying protocol has no meaning.

Brainiac cannot invade the parliament area of ​​Krypton. Humans can go there to take refuge when necessary. But Lex obviously wants more than that. He wants to rewrite Brainiac's underlying protocol by cracking the underlying protocol.

This is not easy. Because rather than saying that Brainiac was created by Kryptonians, it is better to say that he is actually a miracle that was born due to various accidents and far exceeds the current level of artificial intelligence in the universe. If the Kryptonians were resurrected now, they would definitely not be able to create a second one.

In short, Brainiac came at the right time for both the Wayne Group and the Luther Group. The leaders of the two groups did not find it unacceptable to have their property confiscated.

This is actually because Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor are not just pigs on the vent. They are really capable.

Most of the wealthy people who jumped off buildings because of Brainiac's arrival and the abolition of private ownership overnight were lucky to have benefited from the times. They either started their careers in finance or by making money from unconventional means.

Regardless of the background of the times, they have no personal ability. Their success does not come from their own efforts, and it is almost not transferred by their personal will. If we really talk about their actual level, they can barely be ordinary managers.

After the abolition of private ownership, everyone can only rely on their own labor ability to ensure their livelihood. They have no ability, so their living standards will naturally fall from heaven to hell.

Most of those who choose to accept reality are like Bruce or Lex, who are better in at least one aspect. They either have experience in building a factory from scratch, or understand technology, or at least know a little about propaganda, and they don't switch to manual labor overnight. Their living standards are also guaranteed - it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

The same is true for Lex and Bruce. Apart from being the leaders of the two major corporations, they are also top scientists. As long as they enter the laboratory, Brainiac will have to support them. They are not usually extravagant, and for them personally, their living standards have not declined.

In addition, they themselves are not the kind of evil capitalists. They understand that the general public is the main body of mankind, and their sense of responsibility for the future of mankind is greater than their desire to possess personal assets. So they have no objection.

Pamela also ordered a few dishes and ate them very voraciously. It seemed that she had not eaten well in the past few days in the laboratory. After all, she was a scientist and had a lot of salary points, so she ordered several dishes. Schiller and Billy also benefited from it.

"How's Wayne Manor?" Schiller asked while eating.

"They only kept the main hall and the gardens and enclosed that part. The rest was divided up."

“That’s not a small area, is it?”

"There are a lot of people living there: Jason, Tim, Dick and Raven, Selina and Aisha, and Bruce and Alfred, eight people in total. If Bruce and Selina have children in the future, the area may not be enough."

"That's right." Schiller thought for a moment and said, "You reminded me. Selina still has two more psychotherapy sessions to go. She paid for them. I'll call her later to ask if she has any plans for tomorrow."

"Christmas is coming soon, and the members of the Justice League are coming back one after another. They are not on Earth, and many things are not packed up. They will definitely be busy for a while. When the time comes, I might be captured and go over to help."

"You really should help them. I dread to think how much there is to clean up at the Kent farm."

"So you didn't know? The reforms in the countryside are different from those in the city. Especially for those large farms in the central states, the model has basically not changed. So Clark is the most relaxed among them because he can go home for the holidays."

Schiller thought about it and agreed. The mechanization level of American agriculture is very high. Although a few helpers are needed during the busy farming season, there is no need to have too many people to farm. Most Americans do not think the countryside is good, have no attachment to the countryside at all, and would not think of returning to their hometown to farm.

In this case, the best production model is a large farm, where a small number of people act as farmers and control machines to cultivate the land. Naturally, there is no need to fight the landlords and divide the land. At most, the types of crops can be adjusted according to the materials needed, rather than being completely dominated by the free market.

In fact, the planned and controlled economic model is good for large American farmers. Because they no longer have to bear the highest expenses on the farm. They no longer have to bear the risks brought by natural weather changes: I will plant whatever you give me, and I will raise whatever you ask me to raise. Anyway, you have to provide me with food. Compared with workers in towns, they are more like ruthless workers.

In the past, American farmers were not as wealthy and comfortable as many people imagined. First of all, the price of American agricultural machinery was very high. It was normal for an ordinary tractor to cost 70,000 or 80,000 US dollars. If you add a series of harvesting and farming accessories, it would cost at least 100,000 US dollars.

And it's also very expensive to repair. Not only do you have to pay for labor and repairs, you also have to buy the broken parts yourself, some of which you have to buy from other states, plus shipping costs. If it breaks down once, it costs tens of thousands of dollars.

This puts them under a lot of pressure. If you don't grow those crops with high economic value, you can't even recover the cost. If there is another natural disaster or man-made disaster, then the whole year's work will be in vain.

What's worse is that each state has different agricultural laws, and the taxes and welfare subsidies for agriculture are also different, which all require professionals to handle, which is another huge expense.

In order to save money, many farmers will let their children study similar majors, but only comprehensive private universities offer such majors. To study in a private university, you have to pay at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in tuition. Even if you turn it into a student loan and pay it back slowly, it will take a lifetime to pay it back.

In general, American farmers are not poor, but their assets are valuable. If we talk about the liquid funds in their hands, they may not have as much as a white-collar worker working in the city. The intensity and pressure of labor are much greater than that of city dwellers. Although they have land, production tools, and can employ people, they are far from being capitalists.

After Brainiac arrived, the most critical reform was to target agricultural production tools. He would not consider issues such as the price of agricultural machinery, and would directly distribute according to demand.

He will calculate all the things needed for the highest production efficiency of a farm or a piece of land, and then send the things directly to you, and you just need to follow the instructions. As long as there are no major problems in execution and there are no major changes in the weather, the production will definitely be stable.

This can be said to help farmers get rid of all the pressure and risk. If anything goes wrong, it is only because Brainiac made a bad plan or bad luck, not them. They don't need to be responsible for it.

Moreover, they also have a share of the ration of survival resources, but instead of cooking directly like in the city, they are allocated food, vegetables, meat and other things based on the number of people, and have to cook them themselves.

In short, Brainiac became the largest farmer on earth, and the former farmers became his employees. They only needed to punch in on time every day and did not have to be responsible for their own profits and losses.

In addition, measures such as free education, various worker benefits, and living space control are all real benefits to country people, making farmers the most supportive group of Brainiac - what does "Make America Great Again" mean?

When talking about agriculture, we have to talk about Mexico.

In fact, before Brainiac's arrival, the mainstream international view was that although the Mexican Revolution had achieved some phased results, with the disintegration of the revolutionary army in Guadalajara, the revolution had basically been declared a failure.

Nevertheless, all countries recognize the important role of this revolution in the history of Mexico and the international communist movement. Even if it only affects the living conditions of the Mexican people, it has changed something.

If we talk about failure, in fact, Oliver's personal limitations or the limitations of the Mexican revolutionary army are not the key. The key is that Mexico's level of industrialization and modernization is too low, and the conditions for revolution are not mature at all, which is the main reason for failure.
