    Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. The city is located at the mouth of Lake M?laren. The urban area is distributed on 14 islands and a peninsula. Plus the suburbs, there are more than 24,000 islands in total. It is the city with the most islands among the three Nordic countries.  Therefore, it is also known as the Venice of Northern Europe.  Stockholm in autumn has endless charm, with clear skies, beautiful scenery, ancient castle buildings, modern urban facilities, leisurely living atmosphere, and so on, all of which will make a newcomer come here.  People feel a kind of elegance coming over them, indeed, it is elegance.  It can be said that if conditions permit, then Sweden is a place you must visit once, and if you go to Sweden, Stockholm is a must-go, just like if you go to China without going to Beijing, you have never been to China.  Precisely because it has been famous for a long time, Cheng Yuan and his team did not go to the research institute immediately after arriving in Stockholm. Instead, they first walked around the streets to observe the city and the people in it up close.  Since the company's reception staff will act as tour guides, you don't have to worry about getting lost.  Walking on the streets of Stockholm, you will find that the pace of the people here is relatively slow. Not to mention compared to big cities such as New York and Tokyo, even compared to Shangjing in China, the pace of the people here is also very slow. All this shows that the people here are very slow.  There is little stress and the pace of life is slow.  "Hey." Looking at it, Wang Tao suddenly let out a sigh, "No wonder people say that if you love someone, send him to Sweden, because it is a paradise on earth. In the past, it was just hearsay, but now I come here to do this in person  At first glance, it is true. Look, there are handsome men and beautiful women everywhere on the street. "Tsk, I thought you were going to say something. It turns out that you only have eyes for beautiful women."  Hong joked beside her.  "If you really like it so much, I think you might as well find a Swedish woman to marry, so that you can marry into Sweden." "I would like to." Wang Tao smiled bitterly, "But who will follow me? You can tell at a glance.  The women here are so arrogant, how could they like me? Humph, if you really want to live in Sweden, you will live a short life of ten years.  , How can it be short-lived?" Shen Hong also sighed.  "Although it's a bit cold here, the air is fresh, the food is safe, and with various high benefits, you can say that you have no worries about food and clothing. Even if you live short for ten years, I can support you here." "Yes.  ," Wang Tao continued, "I've asked about it. People here are so happy. I heard that if people here give birth to a child, the father has the right to stay away from work for nine months, and the mother of the baby is also not allowed to work.  Parents can work and take care of their children at home with full salary. Parents can receive high living allowances before their children reach the age of 16, and young people who have completed nine years of compulsory education after reaching the age of 16 can also receive further education.  The high study allowance is equivalent to giving money to encourage you to go to school. You have to pay everywhere to go to school. Not only is it free, but if you get sick here, you can enjoy sick leave subsidies, and the amount depends on the length of the sick leave.  It is equivalent to 75% to 100% of your salary. Even so, when you actually go to see a doctor, most of the medical expenses and medicines prescribed by the doctor will be borne by the state; let alone pension, which is basically a pension.  When you get old, you will have super high pension insurance, so you don¡¯t have to worry about things after you get old. Also, it seems that even if people here do nothing and only receive relief benefits, they still get more than 13,000 crowns a month.  This is equivalent to about 12,000 RMB. In addition, the prices here are not high and medical insurance is free. Even unemployed people can live a leisurely life. ? ? ? ? ? From this point of view, this place is simply rice.  It¡¯s a paradise for insects!¡± Hearing what Wang Tao said, the Swedish woman named Emily who was in charge of receiving Cheng Yuan and his party was about thirty years old, wearing professional formal attire, and had long light blond hair.  He smiled and said in fluent Chinese: "Haha, what this gentleman said is right or wrong. We Swedes may have very good welfare, but few people here will live only on relief funds, because here, there are no jobs.  It's a very sad thing. " "It's sad to have no job and no money. You don't have to work and you don't have to worry about food and drink all day long. You don't have to worry about housing and medical care and pension. So why should I be sad?" Wang Tao asked.  I wish I could be such a rice bug here. " "Haha." The woman named Emily continued to smile, "According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, people have basic needs first, which is commonly known as eating, drinking, and eating.  Physiological needs such as sleep and sex, followed by safety needs, social needs and respect needs. After these are realized, there will be a higher level of self-actualization needs. Well, according to Hua Guo, then  That is, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. If you are on the streetAsk people and ask them what they care about most. Nine times out of ten they are concerned about climate warming and environmental degradation. If you ask them if they have a job, nine times out of ten they will say they have a job, even if it is just a job.  cleaner.  So you see, as long as we Swedes are mentally normal, there are very few people who are not working, and many people are willing to do some unpaid labor. This is because they desire respect and the realization of self-worth.  Therefore, if a Swede does not work, others may not say anything about you, but his own inner suffering will be unbearable. In order to avoid this anxiety, they will find ways to find a job. If it is really not suitable  If you have a job, Swedes usually choose to continue studying. After all, studying is free.  "    "Amazing.  Wang Tao exclaimed, "This is simply a perfect country."  " "Perfect country?  There is no perfect country in this world.  "The woman named Emily shook her head, "What I said before is just superficial. In fact, our high welfare is just good for you outsiders, but in fact this high welfare system has overwhelmed us.  Here, because of the openness of politics, even we ordinary Swedes know that this high welfare policy is not good and has many problems. We also have many people who want to reform and cancel the high welfare policy. For this reason, one political party used  This kind of slogan won a lot of public support and came to power, but after coming to power, he really wanted to reform.  But found a lot of resistance.  This is because although we understand the drawbacks and disadvantages of high welfare, when we really want to change, we all become selfish. We don¡¯t want to give up the welfare we have received, and always want the next generation to change, and the next generation will also want to change.  The next generation has been unable to reform because of this.  " "You guys are full of food.  "It was Shen Hong who spoke, "Such a great benefit.  Why should it be canceled and why should it be reformed?  " "There are many reasons, but fundamentally, it is because this high welfare policy is too serious a drag on the country. If no reform is carried out, sooner or later it will reach a dead end. It is like a broken ship that is slowly becoming silent. If it is not repaired in time,  .  Sooner or later, everyone will die together.  " "Why did it end?  Shen Hong asked. "The reasons are of course multifaceted, but fundamentally speaking, it is still what Marx said, that production relations no longer adapt to productivity.  In other words, our high welfare system has begun to decline and is no longer suitable for today's society.  "That Emily sighed. She continued, "We in Sweden have entered an aging society and there is a serious shortage of young labor force.  The shortage of labor force leads to low production efficiency. Low production efficiency means insufficient productivity and less wealth produced.  Because of the high welfare, the entire welfare expenditure accounts for more than 30% of the national income, and this number is still growing every year.  Although high welfare will make our people more peaceful and cultivated, it will make the people lose their fighting spirit. The Swedish people's famous indomitable character is a reflection of this constitution.  In addition, high welfare has also dragged down various aspects of the country's industry and agriculture. For example, the country has no power to carry out larger-scale and higher-level industrial upgrades. The consequence of this is that our productivity lags behind, the competitiveness of the industry is insufficient, and ultimately  Forming a vicious cycle.  In recent years, our country's economy has deteriorated, and the fiscal deficit has increased year after year. It seems that our high welfare policy cannot be maintained for long. It is okay in the short term, but in the long term, this is not a long-term solution, and it is really about to collapse.  That's a disaster.  That¡¯s why we say that Swedes are melancholy because they see the future but are unable to change, or are afraid of change.  " "Hey" After listening to what Emily said, Wang Tao sighed again, "What a wonderful melancholy. I want to have this kind of melancholy too.  "    "Come on.  Shen Hong next to her smiled and said, "Old Wang, please stop talking so much. I am worried about global warming, world peace, and social harmony. It is a high-end melancholy. I am worried about your selfishness."  Can the country bumpkin¡¯s thoughts be the same?  " Just as I said this, I suddenly saw a group of young people marching on the street holding signs and chanting slogans. Because they were all in Swedish, and the shouts were also in Swedish, neither Wang Tao nor Shen Hong could understand them.  I can¡¯t understand either. ¡°What are they doing?  "Seeing those people shouting at the top of their lungs, Wang Tao immediately asked. "Oh, those are members of the Democratic Party holding a parade and rally.  Emily glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then said calmly, "They are following, demanding the abolition of the newly introduced robot policy."  " "Robot policy?  Wang Tao blinked, "What is that?"  " "That's the policy that the Swedish government just issued. It's just a draft. It didn't take more than two days to let them know about it. There is no way. Who made our government an open government? Nothing can be done."There are secrets to speak of, and they are far worse than you.  "Emily smiled when she said this, "Actually, it's mainly because our robot technology has made a huge breakthrough, so the Swedish government decided to give our robots a green light and vigorously promote robot applications in various fields, hoping to make our robots more powerful.  Productivity reaches a new level.  " "Well, this is a good thing.  Wang Tao was puzzled, "Then why do they object?"  " "It's very simple. The reason for their opposition is that the use of robots will occupy the living space of human workers.  "Emily said, "Because our robot technology has strong versatility, robots can do many places where humans can work, and robots can also do things that humans can't do.  Because our robots are highly intelligent and versatile, they can be used not only in dangerous industrial fields, but also in other agricultural fields and even service industries, such as cafes, restaurants, and express delivery.  Since using robots is cheaper and more efficient than using people, many of our local companies plan to use robots to work, which will cause many people to lose their jobs, so these people started to make trouble.  " "That's it.  "Wang Tao nodded, "But don't you get high benefits even if you are unemployed? Then why are they making trouble?  " "I have already explained it before.  "Emily said with a smile. "Although we Swedes can enjoy life without working, we feel undignified if we don't work, so they object.  Moreover, the opposition of these people is actually not for themselves, but for others, because they feel that if robots are applied on a large scale, it will be unfair to third world countries, which will deprive them of their labor cost advantage and let the West  The country's advantages are stronger.  More regional conflicts will break out, which is not conducive to equality and harmony in the entire world.  " "This" Wang Tao was speechless when he heard what Emily said, "You Swedes really love to worry, you have the spirit of an international leader.  " "Haha, our ruling party is originally a left-wing socialist party.  "Emily smiled, "So, in a way, we are a socialist country.  " Hearing what she said. Wang Tao suddenly stopped talking, because he found something more interesting, that is, in front of the demonstrators, rows of black humanoid robots holding shields suddenly appeared! These humanoids  The robots are all uniformly 1.9 meters tall. They are all pitch black and have a matte color. The entire body surface is smooth and smooth, and they don't look like robots at all. It's like they are all wearing one.  Like black medieval plate armor, these robots moved in unison, holding a transparent riot shield as tall as a person in one hand and a rubber baton in the other. Then they gathered together and put the shields together to form a shield wall, blocking everyone.  At the front, the crowd was organized to move forward. At the same time, there was a loudspeaker playing on the armored vehicle behind. Because it was played repeatedly in Swedish and English, Wang Tao could understand the general meaning of what the loudspeaker said.  Yes, the front is private territory. If the demonstrators continue to move forward, they are invading private territory. They are asked to retreat immediately. When they saw these robots appearing and heard the sound of the armored vehicle¡¯s loudspeaker, the crowd immediately erupted.  The noise seemed quite exciting, and then the people in the front row quickly rushed forward to compete with the robots that formed the shield wall. Unfortunately, those robots were too strong, and after being drawn into a line, the demonstrators in front were ignored.  No matter how people push or smash him, he never takes a step back, but he never fights back, showing super discipline and tenacity. ¡°Well, think about it, a robot is not afraid of this at all.  . Seeing the sudden violent conflict, Wang Tao immediately asked: "What happened to them?  " "It's very simple.  Emily said calmly, "These demonstrators are attacking our robot production factory, so in order to defend ourselves, we have to send robot security guards to prevent them from coming."  " "Doesn't your police care about this?  Why should your own security be responsible?  "Wang Tao asked again. "There is no way. You know, the police always fail to respond to things like this.  Emily spread her hands, "In Sweden, parades and rallies are common, and the police will not follow every demonstration."  Furthermore, they are attacking our private factory, not the city government building. They have to wait for the police to be dispatched, so we have to call the police.  " Hearing what Emily said, Wang Tao was completely speechless. Also, the systems are different and there is no comparison at all. "This is just the beginning.  "Wang Tao suddenly said, "Just like when someone smashed the steam engine when it appeared, when the machineAs the ?? era is approaching, there will inevitably be more and more conflicts of this kind.  Sweden is already considered moderate, but if it goes to other countries, hey" "Yeah, if this were in China, the situation might be even worse.  Shen Hong frowned and said, "China is a country with a lot of human resources. If this kind of robot technology is also introduced, I'm afraid more people will be laid off and more people will be unemployed."  We don¡¯t have the welfare benefits of Sweden, and those laid-off workers will be in dire straits when the time comes.  " "But the question is, is this the reason why robots are not used?  Wang Tao objected, "Don't forget, you and I have seen with our own eyes how powerful the robot is and how high its production efficiency is."  If we don¡¯t use it, others will. When their production efficiency increases, we will still suffer.  If you refuse to use robots just because you are afraid that some people will be laid off, how is it different from the Qing Dynasty's seclusion?  I remember that the minister of the Qing Dynasty said at that time that the emergence of automobiles would create a large number of bearers' careers. Is it just for the sake of bearers that they should reject new technologies?  " "Yes, I agree with Mr. Wang's point of view.  The pace of change will not stop because of any obstacles!  Emily's eyes were firm, "We Swedes are never afraid of challenges!"  Now that we have produced robots, we will no longer stop eating due to choking!  I believe that the day when robots will change the world is just around the corner. Isn¡¯t that why you came to us?  " Seeing her proud look with her chin raised high, Cheng Yuan immediately knew that this woman probably really thought that the robot was developed in Sweden, and she was deeply proud of it. It showed the arrogance in the bones of the Swedish people. "  Okay, let¡¯s talk about that later. Aren¡¯t you the one responsible for receiving us? Where should we go next?  "Cheng Yuan said immediately. "Well" Seeing Cheng Yuan's question, Emily put away her proud mode and said to Cheng Yuan again: "Mr. Cheng, it seems that the situation has changed. I don't think we can go directly to the factory now.  We¡¯ve visited, why don¡¯t we go to the research institute first?  " "That's fine.  "Cheng Yuan nodded. After discovering that Cheng Yuan agreed, Emily immediately started to take out her mobile phone to make a call. After a while, she saw a large helicopter appearing in the sky. After the helicopter appeared, it began to fly towards Cheng Yuan and his party.  He flew over, waited until he was in front of him, and then slowly landed in front of Cheng Yuan and others. It was obvious that he was here to pick up Cheng Yuan and his party. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
