The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3108

The island that Stark bought is very close to Palm Beach. No one has ever bought and developed it because the island is in an awkward position.

The island is too small to be used as a tourist resort, but it is too big to be used as a personal estate, and security cannot be arranged.

More importantly, because it is close to the most famous tourist resort for rich people on the west coast, the price of this island is also very expensive, several times that of other islands that are more remote and more suitable in size. Before Stark, there was no injustice at all. I would buy an island like this.

Stark did not feel that he was wronged, because the size of the island, which was a headache for people, was not a problem for him.

Originally, there was only a white sand beach on the west side of the island. The beach was relatively short and small in area. However, Stark purchased a batch of white sand in Los Angeles and directly created artificial beaches.

As we all know, labor in the United States is very expensive. Other rich people don’t do this because they have to hire workers to lay sand. The labor cost is ridiculously expensive and the construction period is slow. In the event of a hurricane, the sand will be laid today and blown away tomorrow. .

But Stark can use robots with almost no labor cost, just spend some money to buy sand, and robots are more obedient than humans. They can build whatever design they draw, which is easier than building a home in the game. .

Now there is a huge long white beach in the entire southwest of the island, which is the main venue for this wedding.

There are two hills in other parts of the island. The one near the beach is shorter, and a mountain villa area is built on it for guests to stay. The higher hill is Stark's newly built manor. On the wedding day, the bride and groom From here you will head to the beach.

Now that the hard decoration of the wedding has been basically completed, what is left is the soft decoration of the wedding venue. The decoration is also left to a professional company. In Stark's manor, everyone looked at the design drawings of the decoration style.

Looking at the design, Schiller understood why Stark was dissatisfied.

The decoration style is actually very good, it is a very common modern romantic wedding, and it is the best that can be achieved in this budget range. With flower arch balloons, high-end tableware and beautifully decorated meals, there is almost no fault.

The only problem is that it's too ordinary. It can be said that eight out of ten wealthy Americans hold weddings like this. In Stark's words, his father and his mother's wedding was in this style.

In fact, everyone else is quite satisfied, because this is indeed what most people think a wedding should be like in the stereotype, and because Stark is very rich, the wedding is of high standard, and the other couples are all from civilian backgrounds. Having seen this battle, I thought it was pretty good.

Everyone was already discussing the details of the arrangement with great interest. Schiller saw that Stark was in a bad mood and invited him to go out for a walk.

The two came to the terrace of the manor room. Stark lit a cigarette and said, "Am I being a little too pretentious? I always feel that such an important life ritual should have some traces of myself."

"The key lies not in the rituals, but in the people." Schiller said with a smile: "When you recall these things in your later years, you will definitely be more impressed by the expressions of the people around you."

"Yes, I didn't make any additional changes because I knew that Pepper would like this kind of wedding. If it were all robots, it might become a topic of conversation for a while, but when I think about it in the future, I will always have regrets."

"Although we can't make all robots, maybe we can also add some mechanical elements. Have you arranged any robot performances?"

"No, because I know there are some robot phobias among the guests." Stark spread his hands and said: "You also know that since the beginning of the mechanical revolution, there has been an endless stream of opponents. If they take this as an excuse to cause trouble at the wedding, Good memories are flawed.”

Schiller sighed inwardly. Of course he knew that a mechanical revolution was taking place all over the world, that is, using robots to replace heavy and dangerous tasks, such as high-altitude electrical maintenance, heavy object handling, bulk cargo transportation, etc.

In fact, even without this mechanical revolution, those so-called manual jobs that would be replaced on a large scale have long been replaced. Female workers in textile factories were replaced by textile machines, and steel-making workers were replaced by mechanical steel-making assembly lines. This time it was just The technological upgrade of robots allows them to complete smarter tasks.

But because of this, the displaced group has changed from workers at the bottom to the middle class, the elite, and even the rich.

The rich themselves are not engaged in production, but their companies have industry competition. The people who are most opposed to Stark Group's technological robots are the North American human resources giants.

The so-called knowledge is wealth, and those who possess knowledge are also wealth. The rich rely on money to hold the outstanding talents selected by society in their hands. This is an important factor for their family business to be passed down from generation to generation.

However, if one day all these talents can be replaced by robots produced by the Stark Group, it means that all talents are in the hands of Stark, and the talents in their hands will depreciate.

Some people may say that robots are obviously cheaper. If humans and robots possess the same knowledge, robots are obviously more cost-effective. If robots are used instead of humans, wouldn't it also reduce production costs for the rich?

But the question is, who does the robot listen to?

For the rich, it is always easy to win people's hearts. Humans have weaknesses and desires. Even the simplest desire for money makes them much more stable than the robots made by Stark.

If Stark was a pure capitalist, they might not be so worried. Buying and selling robots is nothing more than a business.

But Stark is a hero.

He thinks about problems from the perspective of the interests of all mankind. When the earth is safe, it is naturally fine. But once the interests of mankind conflict with the interests of these rich people, the robots of the Stark Group they once bought will become knives pointing at them.

Stark will let these robots hold knives on their necks. If you don't listen to me and contribute to the safety of the earth, it means that the middle-level backbone forces under your leadership will be completely destroyed, and you can't think about the eternal dynasty anymore.

How can the rich tolerate this?

This is what really bothers Stark.

If he had his temper, he would have turned this wedding into a robot expo, and let those who disagreed with him see that who cares if they come or not, I am living a good life.

But he was happy this way, but this was obviously not the wedding Pepper wanted. The robot expo could be held anytime, and the wedding might only happen once in a lifetime. Maybe Pepper would agree, but Stark didn't want her to have any regrets.

As Stark got older, he was no longer as sharp as when he was young, and he wanted to let everyone in the world know who was the boss.

He began to gradually separate work from life. He firmly walked his own way in work and was determined not to be kidnapped by any circle, but there was no need to be so stiff with these people in life.

He understood more and more that greed is human nature, and violence is useless for human nature.

He also began to understand why Schiller had to go around a huge circle every time he wanted to achieve his goal.

Were those rich people wrong?

Many of them have worked hard to build their current family business. They have suffered so much and been ridiculed. They just want their children to not have to suffer these pains and enjoy the fruits of their parents' hard work with peace of mind.

Parents create the family foundation, sons make further progress, and grandchildren set new heights. Hasn't human society always developed in this way?

Ask yourself, Stark will not let Helen and Morgan start from scratch. On the contrary, he wants to give them the best education and let them start higher than everyone else. This is the most normal mentality.

If someone wants to take all this away at this time, he will certainly fight back, regard them as enemies, and resist to the end.

There are some so-called strategists who first assume that everyone is selfless, and then make their own plans. Once the plan goes wrong because of some people, they accuse these people of selfishness and cause the plan to fail.

These people are indeed selfish, but selfishness is not a word invented on that day. In human history, selfless people should be praised by name. This shows that selfishness is the norm and selflessness is a minority.

In this case, when making a plan, it is an idealistic trap to not consider that people will not resolutely implement the plan because of personal interests, which will eventually lead to the failure of the plan.

The contradiction already exists. Simply accusing others of selfishness will not solve any problems, but it is likely to intensify the contradiction.

And solving this contradiction by defeating them and then suppressing them will not solve any problems in the end, because there will always be people who can rely on their talents and efforts to improve their class and become new nobles. Such suppression is endless.

But if they are completely indulged and everyone is only working to continue their family, they will frantically exclude dissidents, suppress their lower-class people, block the upward channel, and finally make social contradictions sharp and social atmosphere smoky.

Neither left nor right is good, but standing in the middle is a dead end, so the best way is to use both kindness and force, and guide step by step. Politics is the art of compromise.

It is indeed smooth to confront them tit for tat, but it will inevitably be constrained everywhere afterwards, and the result will be half the effort.

It would be better to give the other party a step down. You respect me one foot, I respect you ten feet, and both sides take a step back.

Stark understands that his wedding is actually a show of goodwill to those conservatives, giving both sides a chance to sit down and talk. Even if there is no result, I have given you face. If you make trouble for me again, I will be the one standing on the moral high ground.

But rationally, Stark knows that he will feel aggrieved with his temper, but he thinks about it and doesn't know who to blame. He can only beat Reed in his dream to vent his anger.

Schiller has nothing to say. People always have to grow up. Stark's childhood lasted for decades, which is lucky enough.

"It's time to abandon fantasy and face reality, Tony." Schiller turned to look at Stark and said, "This is destined to be a long and arduous struggle, but you are not fighting alone."

Stark exhaled a puff of smoke. There was always mist in his eyes, which looked damp and bright when blown by the mountain wind.

"I believe that the two greatest things in this world, truth and you, are on my side. The one who will win in the end will be me, Tony Stark."
