As a Mage, I Only Want to Pursue Truth

A mage accidentally drifts to Blue Star. The intelligent life on Blue Star cannot influence reality by manipulating dark matter, thus the mage loses their casting ability.

In order to recover...

Chapter 367 Group Rest

Today, all photovoltaic stocks were hammered down to their daily limit, and it's estimated that at least three more limit-down days are coming.

It's like a black swan flying in from the horizon!

Luckily, I sold all my solar panels last week.

"New energy stocks actually benefited from this positive news and surged."

Bio-photovoltaics will further increase the market share of electricity in the energy mix, and the penetration rate of new energy sources will also increase accordingly.

Originally, major countries around the world planned to replace traditional oil-powered cars with new energy vehicles by 2035.

With the addition of Kechuang Biotechnology's super lithium battery technology, the penetration rate of new energy in the automotive field initially exceeded expectations.

Later, due to various factors such as insufficient grid load and power shortages, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles slowed down in the later stages.

Even today, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles worldwide is only about 50%.

The main problem is that in many underdeveloped countries, people don't have the capacity to develop new energy sources.

At the same time, they didn't have the money to ask China to help them develop new energy sources.

Bio-photovoltaics, as the name suggests, has a very mage-like style, relying on biotechnology.

It feels like it could be directly attached to the car body, wouldn't that provide a continuous source of power?

It doesn't need charging or refueling; it generates electricity directly from the car's roof using bio-photovoltaics.

The new energy upstream and downstream industries received their first positive news, resulting in a sharp rise in prices.

Even with bio-photovoltaic technology, batteries are still needed to store the electrical energy converted from photovoltaics.

“I talked to a friend who works as an immigration agent, and the price of immigrating to Singapore has soared from two million to five million.”

Even at a price of ten million, those rich people wouldn't blink an eye.

"Didn't they say that Singapore's immigration window is closed?"

"So anyone charging fees now is a scammer."

It's not exactly a scam. He helps you get it done, and if he succeeds, he charges you money; if he fails, he charges you interest.

Who knows how long Singapore's immigration window will remain closed? But after these wealthy individuals pay, hundreds of millions of dollars are held by immigration agencies for a period of time, generating substantial profits for them as well.

Whether it's a gym or a training institution, why should they collect money from consumers upfront, and the more money you deposit, the better?

Because funds also have a time cost, the earlier they receive them, the greater the potential returns.

Fundamentally, the consumer industry wants consumers to pre-pay.

It's not just about the time benefit of money; it also makes it easier to cultivate consumers' consumption habits.

Inertia is a terrible thing. Many foreign consumer companies have cultivated consumer inertia and have been able to stand firm for a century.

This applies to brands like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, and KFC.

As for Chinese companies, most of them are relatively new. Looking back a century from now, there will be companies that have survived by cultivating consumer habits.

“My dad has already paid five million to get on the waiting list. The immigration agency said they would help me get on the waiting list as soon as possible, and if I couldn’t immigrate to Singapore, they would give me a full refund.”

I knew I'd been scammed the moment I heard it. How is this any different from those "guaranteed pass" classes offered by some public education institutions? They make a profit even if only one out of six students passes.

My dad, however, was so easily fooled that he insisted on sending me to Singapore.

According to him, Singapore will have better welfare benefits in the future, so you won't starve to death even if you do nothing.

Once you immigrate there, I'll buy you an apartment. Even if you drive a bus, you'll be able to support yourself.

At that moment, I wanted to ask, "Dad, do you know that buses in Singapore don't need drivers anymore? How long has it been since you last rode a bus? In many cities in China, buses don't need drivers anymore."

However, I held back because they were going to buy me a house in Singapore.

Singapore, with its large Chinese population, is actually a very friendly place to Chinese immigrants.

Especially after Merlin took over Singapore, the geopolitical risks for Singapore as a "neutral" country among major powers have been greatly reduced.

Coupled with the preferential welfare benefits mentioned in Merlin's speech, wealthy Chinese are even more enthusiastic about immigrating to Singapore.

By the 2030s, the gap between the rich and the poor had not been alleviated; in fact, it had continued to widen.

Technological advancements have only provided some basic living security for people at the bottom of society, and it's not as difficult for young people to find jobs.

Eternal God Emperor

Since 2013, when Chinese media began to proclaim the most difficult year to find employment, they have been saying the same thing every year: even graduates from 985/211 universities are still going to be caught in the job market.

So much so that in the year when Tencent claimed it would transmit the chill to every employee, a company the size of Tencent only hired a three-digit number of graduates.

Even when hiring a new person, an existing employee has to be laid off at the same time.

Technological advancements mean that after 2025, complaints about employment difficulties will gradually disappear. Instead, due to population aging, companies will start complaining about the difficulty of recruiting.

This is also a manifestation of the difference between offense and defense.

Of course, the improvement in the economy and employment situation in recent years is mainly due to the technological progress brought about by Zheng Li, but there are also other factors at play.

The deterioration of the economic situation 18 years later was ultimately due to the continuation of the 2008 financial crisis.

The 2008 financial crisis was not solved by massive monetary easing, but rather delayed.

Then, starting in late 2019, countries continued to inject massive amounts of liquidity, creating huge demand and further delaying the economic crisis.

However, economic bubbles and debt crises are becoming increasingly serious.
