Technological Hegemony

In the waters of eastern Indonesia, Weigu Island.

Sun, surf, and sand.

Hearing the crowing of seagulls above his head and smelling the salty smell of the sea in his nostrils, Luo Jia relaxed his whole body, his pores stretched comfortably, enjoying a moment of leisure and tranquility.

Whether he went to Korea before or accompanied his parents to Malaysia for the Spring Festival, Luo Jia always came and went in a hurry, dragging a 20-inch aluminum alloy suitcase, so busy that he had no time to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

As a believer in the theory of cost, Luo Jia feels that this is probably the price that needs to be paid in order to achieve the goal.

It's like you want to lose weight, but after you carefully read the composition and description of all the foods, you will sadly find that any food that can make you healthier is all fucking unpalatable.

Health comes at a price, and no one can munch on brioche and sing and be healthy and thin at the same time, no one.

Luo Jia turned over on the bench by the beach, let herself lie on her side, then picked up the mango juice on the table, and took a few sips lazily.

In the distance, there is a group of girls who are vacationing here, with long blonde and chestnut hair, slender legs, sky-defying chest, thin waist, and unhealthy white skin.

They should be of Slavic descent, and they have dealt with the Wen brothers a lot. Now Luo Jia is used to observing strangers from an anthropological perspective. Although they are suspected of racial discrimination, there are indeed huge differences between different races.

For example, the entire African continent did not invent any kind of writing for a long time before the arrival of the colonists.

This is a unique phenomenon among all races on the earth. The short blacks in the South Asian subcontinent and the American Indians are all bullied miserably. However, even so, the Indians still invented pictographs and languages, not to mention the mysterious ones. Inca and Aztec civilizations.

Anyway, you live in this complicated world, some things can not be said, but you must understand in your heart which are facts and which are so-called "facts" modified by political correctness.

Luo Jia withdrew his gaze. He was used to living alone. Having a girlfriend meant spending time. Luo Jia had already tried it. Order six hours to accompany the cost.

Accompanying cost is a vocabulary invented by Luo Jia himself, which means how much time a man has to spend on his girlfriend, so that his girlfriend can feel that he has not been left out, so that he will not have the spiritual power called resentment.

Luo Jia even designed a mathematical model for this,

By incorporating data such as the girlfriend's personality characteristics, education level, and independence tendency into the model, it is possible to calculate the time, energy, money, etc. that need to be spent on the girlfriend every week.

The result is obvious, Ping Yu Ying is already known to Luo Jia, the most obedient and easy to satisfy girl, still needs to spare eleven o'clock and six hours a week to be by her side, take her to eat, watch movies and so on.

Assuming that Ye Wuchen with more personality is replaced, the cost of companionship will not be less than seventeen hours a week, so in the end, Luo Jia concluded that long live single.

At this time, Xu Chunbiao came to Luo Jia and whispered to him: "The special envoy of the President of Indonesia has arrived."

Luo Jia nodded, stood up from the beach chair, and walked towards the hotel behind her.

...

Luo Jia changed into formal clothes and came to the banquet hall. It happened that the special envoy of the president had already put down his luggage and was chatting with Lu Junlin.

The special envoy's name is Zhou Rui. He is about 30 years old. He is an Indonesian Chinese. His family runs mines and shipping. He is well-known in the local area and lives in Bandung, a famous Chinese-inhabited city in central Java.

"President Jibutuo wants me to take him to say hello to you." Zhou Rui greeted Luo Jia with a smile, and said in very proficient Chinese: "Mr. Regret."

It was just polite words, Luo Jia smiled and greeted, the three sat down at a round table, and then ordered the waiter to serve.

They eat Western food today, the menu has already been drawn up by the executive chef, a total of five courses including appetizers and desserts, because the main course is lobster, so Luo Jia ordered a bottle of white wine, Margaux Blanche produced in 2002, 2,000 Looks like a lot of dollars.

"I don't know what it's like to live overseas as a Chinese. Is it smooth to get along with the locals?" Luo Jia asked curiously. He didn't go straight to the topic to discuss business, but chatted with Zhou Rui first.

Zhou Rui smiled, "To be honest, we rarely get along with the locals. We live in a completely different world. As for the Chinese, it also depends on the blood. If it is a mixed Chinese, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya Such a traditional Chinese community will not take them in. The only choice for mixed-race Chinese is to go to Jakarta. The capital area is not as clear-cut as traditional Chinese cities, so it is more tolerant.”

Nani?

Isn't this the legendary apartheid?

Luo Jia touched his chin with his hand, and asked more curiously: "What kind of existence is the Chinese community, a small world isolated from the locals?"

"Basically." Zhou Rui nodded and said, "Take the Chinese community in Bandung where I live as an example. There are usually at least two servants in a family, and these two servants are usually husband and wife. The male servant is in charge of the garden. Water and electricity, the maid is responsible for cleaning and cooking.”

"Among the Chinese who have poorer economic conditions, although they will also hire servants, these servants are usually part-time and serve several families at the same time."

"The cost of hiring a servant is not high. The salary of 2,000 yuan per month is enough for two aboriginal couples. In addition, there are a small number of bankrupt or poor Chinese who will work as servants, but the cost is expensive. Hiring a Chinese maid , needs to pay 6,000 yuan per month, and very few wealthy families in the community can afford Chinese maids."

Lu Junlin frowned slightly and said, "According to what you said, the local Chinese in Indonesia are quite rich. After all, it is the worst thing to be a maid, and they can earn 6,000 yuan a month."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Basically, it is, but both of you must understand that my father is already seventy-three years old this year, and he still works ten hours a day, four days a month, and he will live in extremely poor conditions." If the local aborigines are willing to endure hardships like the Chinese, I believe they will not be so poor. However, this prerequisite does not exist. As long as the locals have today's dinner, they will not think about tomorrow. The problem of being hungry in the morning."

"It's really difficult to integrate different races and cultures." Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders, "In the past, I only heard that in the African region, the Chinese were so disgusted with the local black uncles that they hated iron and steel, so they didn't bother to talk to them. After you went to Africa, you all became nationalists when you came back, but I didn’t expect the same situation in Indonesia.”

Zhou Ruidao: "I have never been to Africa, but in Bandung, the Chinese community has its own clothing store and imports clothes from Guangzhou. Chinese with a little status generally don't wear locally made clothes."

"Almost every Chinese family has a car, and they don't know how to take the local bus system. I remember that when I was in junior high school, I went to the suburbs and couldn't get a taxi, so I wanted to take the bus, but it happened to be a grain and oil business in the community. When my uncle met him, he asked the driver to take me home, and he firmly refused to allow me to take the bus."

"You may not believe it. In Bandung, in our own supermarkets and stores, locals are not allowed to enter. Unless they are maids from Chinese families, the security guards at the gate will let them in."

I go!

There is still such an operation?

A sense of sight that local people and dogs are not allowed to enter arises spontaneously. Luo Jia and Lu Junlin are so dumbfounded that they are speechless.

Seeing Luo Jia and Lu Junlin's surprise, Zhou Rui took a sip of mineral water and said in a rational voice: "This is probably the so-called clash of civilizations. Looking at the world is by no means an exception. A white person in North America would not live in a black country." community, and vice versa."

That's true...

Luo Jia nodded slightly. North America is a pure immigrant country, known as the beacon of freedom and civilization. If even they cannot achieve racial integration, how can they blame the Indonesian Chinese.

The painful experience in South Africa has taught us the fact that being different is not the same, and the circles are different, so don't force yourself.

After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Luo Jia and the President's special envoy Zhou Rui chatted very happily.

The sponsoring group behind the current president is the Chinese community. Zhou Rui is the representative of the Chinese community. After the dessert was removed, he said: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Lu, you should know that Indonesia has decided to move its capital."

Luo Jia smiled slightly and nodded slightly, expressing that he knew about it.

The Greater Jakarta area, composed of Jakarta and surrounding cities, has a permanent population of more than 30 million and is the second largest urban agglomeration in the world, second only to Tokyo.

The population density of Jakarta has reached an astonishing 15,000 people per square kilometer. What is this concept?

The congestion and pollution in Huaxia's capital city have been criticized for a long time. However, the population density of the capital city is only 1,300 people per square kilometer, which is less than one-tenth of Jakarta's. It can be seen from this that the Indonesian capital has been renamed the first road. almost.

What's more terrible is that Jakarta is close to the sea. It was originally a big swamp, and the land keeps subsiding every year. If we don't hurry up to find a way and let it continue to develop, half of the city will sink into the sea in the future.

"I don't believe that a professional politician will be single-minded, only for the welfare of the people." After thinking for a while, Luo Jia said lightly: "The move of the capital has been called for almost 30 years, and several presidents have failed to do it. If If this matter can be completed within President Jibutuo’s tenure, his name will definitely go down in history, and with the benefits brought by such a major project as moving the capital, President Jibutuo will definitely gain both fame and fortune.”

"Secondly, the opposition has been having a lot of trouble recently. The president can use the name of moving the capital to adjust the organization to keep those who disobey him in Jakarta, leaving them far away from the center of power, slowly rotting, and eventually being forgotten by the world, while in Kalimantan The new big city built on the island will become the stage for Gibotto and his allies to perform."

"It's not so much about moving the capital as it is about the struggle and change of power. I don't know if I'm right, Mr. Zhou Rui?"

Luo Jia smiled and looked at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui was silent at first, then nodded slightly, acknowledging Luo Jia's judgment.

Luo Jia let out a long breath, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he said: "Understood, Xingchen Technology will do its best to help President Jibutuo complete the plan to move the capital, and the Chinese community you represent is the president's behind-the-scenes funder. Will something happen?"

Zhou Rui clenched his fists slowly, and said word by word: "Yes, this time, our Chinese community will do whatever it takes to stand in the center of power and ensure that the tragedy will not happen again."
