Looks like a bad investment, isn't it better to have USA as an industrial zone where very little worker rights are provided, taxes are low and then make them work extremely long hours a better strategy? Just invest in America, have your products and tech developed there then use these products and tech to improve Denmark living standards and increase your wealth as you recoup your investment through stock and dividends.

In order for that work, you'll need people to maintain the harsh conditions for the working masses. They will need to be very well compensated so as to maintain incentivized to keep the status quo. This CEO class will have be as wealthy as they are apathetic to suffering and injustice. So good luck trying to make a system like that where very few benefit from the work everyone else who struggle for basic living standards. No way that people would put up with that.

  Well, it's already common among techies to flex about how shitty they live - like a bed, a chair, a TV and a game console and no decoration. They already like to glamorize concentration of wealth, they love how America has the largest companies and Japan&Europe is failing because they don'y have as large companies. They already obsess over things like sexuality, identity, culture wars etc. When the tension becomes too high, You can always give them a win over destroying a character you created? Let them really hate the vegans, glamorize Lamborghinis or Teslas, hook them to the online world and reduce the real world interactions so they can have wins cheap for you and keep working very hard. To curb any social movements that don't align with this model, you just make sure that have control over the communications. Ideally, CEOs stay in London, Zurich, Frankfurt and Paris as it might be dangerous if they are among the workers in New York etc.
