Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2474 College Students’ Experience

"What are we afraid of? The land is ours. Jiuzhou Technology is just a cooperative. If we can't do anything, we can just give the land to the village and get dividends every year. In recent years, our Xuancheng organic ecological farms and farmhouses have developed so well that many foreigners want to settle here. I heard that in the past few years, many large foreign companies wanted to buy land, forests, and build castles in Xuancheng."

"Hahaha, do you want to build a castle? Those foreign devils just want to occupy our land! Our land is not private, it's not their turn anyway."

"I like to hear that. That's our land. I heard that a noble from Great Britain wanted to spend billions to lease a hill in Mr. Gu's hometown, but was rejected. Even now, the land here cannot be bought and sold casually, and the commercial housing in XC City is not allowed to be sold to foreigners."

"A few years ago, wasn't there a company from Japan that wanted to build a Japanese elementary school in Xuancheng? I heard that the person in charge of the project was investigated the next day after the investment promotion department in Xuancheng agreed to build it. Many private elementary schools were also investigated, saying that their fire protection was not up to standard and their teachers were not good enough. Now they are promoting public schools. Our children's tuition for one semester is only a few hundred yuan, and we don't know if the teaching quality is good enough."

"Uncle Zhang, the quality of teachers in our Xuancheng public schools is better than that of some provincial capitals. I have a classmate who wants to come back to be a teacher, but he has to compete with a bunch of masters and doctors in education. Moreover, the school doesn't want those who are not good at one subject, but only professional teachers with teaching ability. After screening batch after batch, thousands of elite talents were selected to select ten teachers, and none of them were on the payroll. They have to work for three years before they can have a chance."

"Alas, it's not easy to have a stable job these days. However, I heard that they can make a lot of money by doing some Kyushu programming or going abroad to make money. There are also games. I don't know what's so fun about that game called "Omnic Crisis". My kids are all playing it. They can also make money from team competitions or some other competitions. A province can make millions of dollars from competitions. I don't know if it's true or not."

"It is true that people can make money from gaming competitions, and many people make a lot of money from Omnic Crisis and other games. Even if they don't participate in competitions, if they get a rare accessory or paint CDK, they can sell it for a lot of money. But it is also difficult to make money in this industry. The more people do it, the harder it is to make a lot of money."

"Well, Xiao Li, you are right. The truly profitable businesses are definitely kept secret by others. By the time everyone rushes to do it, it is often not that profitable..."

As a sophomore at Xishu University, Li Xian listened to the complaints of the uncle next to him and would comment from time to time.

However, he did not have the slightest emotion towards Uncle Zhang's "crying poor" and the difficulty of making money, or rather, he did not have any sympathy at all...

Because during the period of working and studying, he had completely become disenchanted with these "farmers" in XC City.

There is no such thing as poverty. Even if a family does not have a single acre of land, no labor force, and no children, the local government will provide subsidies and support to the elderly and widowed people. Jiuzhou Technology will also provide help. Even for those who are completely unable to take care of themselves, Jiuzhou Technology will donate intelligent robots in the form of "equipment testing" to help these elderly and widowed people.

High-end technology products that are sold for millions of dollars abroad are so cheap here in Xuancheng that they are given away as long as the conditions are met, without the need to apply.

There are also fruit orchards that are planted with the excellent results of Jiuzhou Technology's space breeding. Experts come to inspect every now and then to answer questions and even help solve some problems on the spot.

In addition, the XC city government also provides matching fertilizers and some agricultural tools, and every year it will work with insurance companies to release a lot of low-cost agricultural insurance. Being a farmer in the rural corner of this city is more free and profitable than working for some big companies.

It’s a pity that becoming a “farmer” in XC City is no easier than finding a job in a big company. You either have to make contributions, or marry a local rural woman, or marry a rural man. You also need to be in a de facto marriage for more than three years before you can transfer your household registration. If you want to get land in your own name, you need a joint review by the village and town officials... and even if this series of things can be successfully passed, the land you get will not be much.

If you want to contract a fruit orchard, you either have to be an experienced person who has been in XC City for a long time and has taken root in agriculture, rural areas and farmers, or you have to invest several times more money than other cities and work honestly in agriculture, rural areas and farmers business.

Moreover, even if you spend money, you cannot contract too many fields in one go. You still need to follow the steps, conduct an annual review, and only if the results are excellent can you expand the scope in the second year.

To some extent, if Jiuzhou Technology did not have many special projects to support industries in XC City, those large capital companies would never have been able to flock to XC City so "actively".

But then again, if we can run the industry well in XC City, we can not only get technical support from Jiuzhou Technology, but also if we want to "copy" the plan in other cities, the officials of other cities will treat us differently and give us more support.

This is also a mutually beneficial good thing.

“When one person achieves enlightenment, all the people around him will benefit. A real man should be like this.” Li Xian, a sophomore at Xishu University, felt deeply moved as he looked at the fruit trees all over the mountains.

And when he heard the uncle next to him say to him: "These few days, you came here to help us, although it is a work-study program, but we all see that you are not a spoiled child who would cheat or play tricks. After you are done with your work today, have a meal at our house, and I will take you to the high-speed rail station in the evening.

If you want to come here to experience farm life in the future, just call me in advance. Our village likes young people who are willing to work hard these days."

Hearing this, Li Xiang scratched his hair subconsciously and said, "This is not good. I can just take the village bus to the city later. Besides, Uncle Zhang, you still have to reconcile accounts and do other things in the evening. It will be too much trouble for you to send me."

"What's the trouble? We use Jiuzhou Technology's small abacus to reconcile accounts. Those who manage the platform dare not pay us less than a penny, otherwise we will report it to them and they will get into trouble.

Okay, it’s settled. After we finish picking the fruits from this patch of trees, we’ll go back to eat. We’ll have chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight…”
