Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2345: The City of Hard Work

The founder of Jiuzhou Technology, a senior member of the XC city leadership team, and a little girl wearing a floral dress and a small flower in her hair.

Three people gathered around a fire, roasting small potatoes that were already covered with wood ash.

"This high-altitude potato is one of the main crops promoted in our city. It is drought-resistant, disease-resistant and pest-resistant, tastes delicious and has excellent yields."

Hearing Huang Qing talking about the achievements of the ecological agriculture construction project, Gu Qing did not interrupt him, but waited until he finished speaking before speaking: "This is our original intention. The development of science and technology requires the development of shields and spears, as well as our rice bowls. There are many achievements in the space breeding project that need time to test. The vegetables, fruits and melons planted in the ecological park here are all our achievements from seven or eight years ago, and we can now say that we have achieved a great breakthrough in the achievements. It is estimated that in about two years, there will be more new varieties of vegetables, fruits and melons that can be gradually supplied.

The geographical environment of our XC city is relatively rich. It belongs to the mid-subtropical humid monsoon climate zone with a long frost-free period, so many seedlings can be planted here on an experimental basis.

After these new varieties pass official inspections, we will gradually arrange for some suitable varieties to come over for testing..."

After just a few words, Huang Qing felt relieved.

He knew that this kind of project was only a small project of a department in Jiuzhou Technology, but when it came to XC City, it was a top priority.

If only one or two of these new varieties become popular, they can quickly increase local farmers' income, and even if they are bred well, they can cooperate with other regions to make money together.

Considering the importance that the Daxia government attaches to agriculture, such good news will definitely be reported on TV news programs.

Huang Qing could not say much, he could only nod and say: "Our XC City team will definitely not let down the hard work of every scientist. We have now built several drone fleets specifically for agricultural inspections, which patrol farmlands and special planting areas in various regions every day... In addition, our XC City now has a special support fund for ecological construction..."

Although Huang Qing knew that this kind of financial support was not even a "small benefit" for a giant like Jiuzhou Technology, he was also trying his best to express his and his team members' attention to the ecological agriculture project and some of the achievements made over the years.

Gu Qing's expression still did not show any impatience. He even helped the child get a baked potato, peeled it, put it on a paper towel he carried with him, and handed it to his child.

"Let's eat. My uncle wants to talk about some work."

The little kid took the baked potato, looked at the browned outer layer with shining eyes, nodded like pounding garlic, and quickly stood up, blowing on the potato while running towards his parents.

"Mom! Baba! I have baked potatoes, let's eat together!"

In some areas of Western Sichuan, relatives always like to shorten the distance between them. As long as the relationship is close enough, the cousin on the paternal side can even be called "Uncle Dad"... The young man Gu looked at the relative of the same generation who was guarding the little girl like a treasure, and he knew that this relative would cry like a fool in more than 20 years.

Huang Qing noticed Gu Qing's gaze and took the initiative to say, "In recent years, even if we don't count the children born by immigrants in our XC City, the fertility rate of our local residents is among the highest in the entire West Shu. In the past, many primary schools were preparing to merge or reduce teacher recruitment. Now, not only are there no mergers, but even kindergartens are increasing the number of kindergarten teacher recruitments every year.

The consumption circles around schools and hospitals have also been stimulated. The economic vitality of the entire XC city is very good. Children are our future. Next, we plan to extend the nine-year compulsory education system to 12 years and open up high school education throughout the city. "

Gu Qing nodded slightly to the news Huang Qing revealed, and did not raise any opinions. He just sighed and said, "Education is a long-term plan. Although from a certain perspective, higher education diplomas are becoming less and less scarce, the education level of citizens has been improved. However, it is not easy to provide supporting industries and enough jobs in the future."

Although Huang Qing really wanted to say that as long as you, Gu Qing, give the order, students in XC City will never have to worry about finding a job.

But he simply couldn't say such words, and he also knew that if he said such words, it would be a big question whether the legendary figure next to him would continue to get along with him in the same way in the future.

So he could only look up at the farmland and forests in the distance and said, "The road is created by us humans step by step, and the jobs are also created by enterprises and institutions. As long as our thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems. I believe that these problems will not be the kind that cannot be solved.

Now, with the cooperation of artificial intelligence AI and robots, many jobs have been replaced by robots or optimized to reduce the number of people. The recruitment requirements of many enterprises and institutions in our city are getting higher and higher. Many of them are engineering positions. The most demanded ordinary positions are sales and customer service positions. Industrial upgrading has brought great changes..."

"This is the epitome of the tide of the times, just like the English major 34 years ago, computers and programming at the beginning of the century, AI, semiconductors, and medical care in the 20s, and now more advanced engineers. They are all necessities for the development of the times.

In my opinion, when technology develops to a certain level, our human needs will gradually shift from external to internal, and psychologists and literary and artistic creators will have a new future. But the difficulty lies in that our entertainment threshold has been raised, and the threshold for these entertainment workers to succeed is also being raised. So in the end, the most important thing for young people is still learning.

Only by continuous learning and progress can we avoid being left behind by the times.

This is true for people and for corporate organizations. Weren’t European and American companies pioneers in the past? But now the industrial development of these two regions can only be described as backward. Half of the Western companies that were doing well thirty years ago have gone bankrupt or are declining, and are on the verge of bankruptcy. There are even many cities where dangerous accidents frequently occur.”

Huang Qing knew that although Gu Qing was talking about enterprises on the surface, he was actually reminding XC City that it must be independent, learn and progress, and cannot rely solely on a single industry.

He glanced at the Gu family relatives and team members not far away, lowered his voice a little, and said with emotion: "The rise of the east and the decline of the west will indeed affect many families."
