Homecoming of Rebirth

Afraid that they would not understand the professional knowledge behind, Qi Lei asked a question first.

"Tell me, what is the source of the high welfare and high income in the West?"

Everyone, "..." immediately fell into deep thought.

What is it?

Is it important?

……

Chapter 506 The Difference Between 11 Yuan and 100 Yuan

Is it important?

This is the question that everyone agrees on. Is there any inevitable connection between the high welfare and high income in the West and our own problems?

Of course, everyone is not blindly skeptical, and there may be experience that can be used for reference. However, the Chinese people's inertial thinking always thinks about self-reliance and does not ask for help.

This makes them naturally think that even if they can't figure it out, it doesn't seem to have a big impact.

And Qi Lei's answer was, "It's very important!" With a wry smile, "This is really not the time to look for your own shortcomings."

Everyone was already at a loss, "What's important?"

Isn't that the only thing?Uncle Geng may be close, but Brother Ma and Wu Ning can list a lot.

What is rich, has military strength, financial status and so on.

These have nothing to do with us, do they?

And Qi Lei's explanation is: "It's really important."

"For many people, we don't care about the prosperity of the country or the rise of a big country. Maybe those are too far away from ordinary people."

"They only want the most practical answer, why can't my salary be the same as that of Americans? Why is my labor return not proportional?"

After a pause, "Let's make it more simple. We always say that the Americans bully us, but I work in China and earn money from the boss's factory. The Americans don't care, right? In the final analysis, isn't it still the Chinese capitalists who bully the working people in China? "

"Or to put it another way!" Qi Lei jokingly laughed, "Our common people really don't ask for such high treatment like those in Europe and the United States. I just ask for the same, not too much, right? The pay is proportional to the income."

"This..." Several people were even more confused, why did they get involved in this again?

Brother Xiao Ma felt a little bit pained, "It's not too much, the request is very reasonable."

Qi Lei asked back, "Then can you satisfy them?"

"I..." Brother Xiaoma, "Is it possible?"

Qi Lei waved his hands, "It's agreed in advance that today we won't talk about the conscience of entrepreneurs, the kindness of helping the world, and the righteousness of the family and the country."

"Let's consider the issue objectively and from a perspective without personal feelings."

"Human nature is selfish. We advocate that companies have a conscience, but most companies cannot have a conscience without legal constraints."

Looking at Brother Xiao Ma, "Answer me again, in this case, can you guarantee that your employees will pay in direct proportion to what they get?"

Brother Xiao Ma stopped talking and was thinking.

It was Uncle Geng who answered for him, "Difficult!!"

Uncle Geng came from a reckless background, so he doesn't have so many far-sighted things.He just knew that the businessmen he saw, regardless of whether they were good or bad, how good do you think they are to the employees below?Not too possible!

Among other things, those small-scale private enterprises, restaurants, etc., don't say that the wages are sufficient, and they are so unwilling to get insurance, and it is impossible to give you much overtime pay for overtime work.

As for why?

Uncle Geng explained the mystery in one sentence, "People are greedy, unless the system keeps up, it is impossible!"

When Qi Lei heard this, he nodded slowly, "That's right! Here comes the question again, why can Omi do it, but we can't? Are European and American companies more conscientious than ours?"

Everyone, "..." began to follow Qi Lei's thinking.

Qi Lei, "So, since we are all facing the greed of human nature, and since no one is more noble than anyone else, we need to know why they can have higher welfare, but we can't?"

"Where is the source of their high welfare and high income?"

"Find out where the root is, so we can work hard in this direction. Isn't it?"

Kou Zhongqi and Zong Baobao, who were working over there, were obviously also attracted by this topic.

Kou Zhongqi interjected, "To put it bluntly, why do people have money?"

"I remember old Mu Boss said that the Western colonial economy has accumulated a lot of wealth, which makes people's family background much stronger than ours. They are rich!"

Brother Ma, "It's a problem with the system! Let's take the United States as an example. They have labor unions that can protect the interests of workers. We can't do it. We lack institutions that speak for workers, and the supervision of enterprises is relatively loose."

Qi Lei, "It's right to have money, but it's not the main thing."

"As for trade unions and systems, there is no such thing at all."

Zong Baobao was dissatisfied, and spread his hands and yelled, "This is the truth, okay? It's just whether they have you or not, what's there to argue about?"

Qi Lei glanced at him contemptuously, "You can ask Wu Ning, and he will be able to answer you."

Wu Ning pushed his glasses and smiled cheaply, "Baby, you are so naive, aren't you?"

"Do you believe it or not? If China now also has trade unions and that system, and borrows the system to increase the income and rights of the bottom workers, after ten years, we will be almost the same as Africa and North China."

Zong Baobao was startled, "Why?"

Wu Xiaojian, "Because you don't have an advantage in productivity, and you lose your competitiveness!"

"..."

Wu Xiaojian, "Why does Uncle Geng say it's difficult? It's because of this."

"This is a very cruel reality. We can become the world's factory because workers and farmers sacrifice their own rights and interests, so that we have the cheapest labor costs and industrial chains. Taking advantage of these opportunities that we have been snatched by life, we have squeezed into the The economic system of this world has brought about a development opportunity that cannot be replicated."

"It can be said that the workers and peasants made the last greatest and largest sacrifice of the twentieth century!"

Speaking of which, she spread her hands in apologetic way, "It's a pity..."

Wu Ning didn't go on, but it's a pity that the hardworking people have suffered.

Zong Baobao froze there, patting his head for a long time, "Fuck! Superficial."

This is something he couldn't think of, and he couldn't learn it.

I only heard that Qi Lei continued: "The system is divided into timing and levels. When we talk about the system now, the manufacturing capabilities and industrial advantages of Chinese workers will immediately return to their original shape. At that time, it will not take long, and the payment and income will not be positive. Otherwise, society as a whole will be in trouble."

After Zong Baobao listened, although he understood the truth, he still felt uncomfortable.

Don't look at Zong Baobao mixing up with Qi Lei, a profiteer every day, and his family conditions are also very good.However, as long as the children of this age know something, they all tend to the working class.

With a long sigh, "Then when will you be the boss? You can't always be bullied by honest people, and let us workers and peasants suffer, right?"

Qi Lei, "This is the bloodiest place. Underdeveloped countries can only use cheap prices to compete for profits that are not huge. But the Western world takes the most profits and uses a little bit of breadcrumbs to drive the poor to compete with each other."

Looking at Zong Baobao with raised eyebrows, "However, this is a good question, when will you be the boss!?"

"How to improve the status quo of paying more and getting less?"

"Then let's see how people pay less and get more."

It's not a secret anymore, "Let me sum it up!"

"The root of high welfare and high income in the West lies in several aspects."

"Colonial accumulation, military hegemony, patent barriers, technology blockade, talent monopoly, and ideological superiority."

When Uncle Geng heard this, he quickly wrote it down.Then he started to make tea, and called Zong Baobao and Sister Kou over, "Come over for a break and listen."

Xiao Ma was thinking about the points Qi Lei said, he understood the first few points, but he didn't quite understand the last thought advantage.

It's just that Qi Lei didn't give him a chance to ask questions, and continued: "Among them, the accumulation of colonialism is what ordinary people often say. They have plundered for hundreds of years and their family is rich."

"This point has no reference value for us."

"As for military hegemony, this is a matter for the country, and it has nothing to do with us."

"As for the talent monopoly..."

"The essence of this point is actually related to patent barriers and technology blockades, so it doesn't need to be mentioned separately."

"So, we mainly need to figure out [patent monopoly], [technical blockade] and [ideological advantage], these three things are enough."

Looking up at everyone, "Actually, these three points can be solved within our ability, and the main part that causes the disproportionate contribution and return."

Sighed: "Poor is not because we are not good or hardworking, and it is not because our companies are less conscientious than those in the West."

"It's...unfair!!"

Everyone, "???"

Qi Lei, "The most basic logic is actually this."

"What is the basis of high welfare and high income? Doesn't the boss have a conscience, the company has a conscience, and I love my employees, so I give them more money!?"

"That's unrealistic. According to this logic, foreign companies are all conscientious companies, and domestic companies are black sweatshops."

Looking directly at everyone, "The foundation of high welfare and high income is: the profit of the enterprise is large enough, and the added value of the product is high enough."

"Both Chinese and foreign, capital is bloodthirsty, and it would be naive to expect capital to have a conscience."

Everyone seems to be thinking, but they seem to understand.

Qi Lei, "Give me an example!"

"We manufacture a product that costs 11 yuan and sells it for 50 yuan. I distribute [-] cents to the employees, accounting for [-]% of the profit. This is not called high income and high welfare."

"They cost 110 yuan a commodity and sell it for 5 yuan. Distributing five yuan to employees only accounts for [-]% of the profit, but this is high income and high benefits."

"And employees get five yuan of income to spend, which will support the high income and high welfare of the whole society."

"To put it bluntly, no matter how hardworking our employees are, no matter how hardworking our employees are, no matter how conscientious our boss is, he is like a saint. He doesn't make money himself, but gives all the profits to the employees. The government also cares about the working people!"

"All these factors are in place, but we still cannot have high welfare and high income."

"Because only one dollar of profit can be distributed and circulated!"

Qi Lei, "As for their employees, they don't have to work hard, but they can create a value of 100 yuan."

"Even if you only take 5 yuan, 5% is far more than us!"

Kou Zhongqi and Zong Baobao nodded unconsciously. In fact, the truth is not difficult to understand. They have heard news and comments more or less.

It's just that when it comes to discussing high welfare and high income in the West, I can't get in touch, and I don't think about it.

Moreover, no one explained the reasoning of this to them in detail.

Qi Lei continued: "Then here comes the question again, how can we sell things worth 100 yuan to 100 yuan, or why they can sell things for [-] yuan, but we can't? This is the crux of the problem. "

Looking around at everyone, his eyes were sharp: "Why?"

"Because, the business system and the right to speak in this world are in their hands!"

"To sum up, it is [patent barrier], [technical blockade], and [ideological advantage]."

"It goes without saying that patent barriers are one of the core values ​​of Western capitalism and a core element of maintaining capital hegemony."

"Don't say that a patent is to protect the interests of the inventor. If it is not protected, it will be messed up."

"True, but not entirely true! Because its deeper meaning and mission is to serve plunder."

Some people may think that patent protection should be.It's just like writing a book to protect the original and fight against piracy.

Otherwise, who will engage in inventions?

But in fact, the western patent barrier is not the concept at all.

We certainly support legitimate patent protection and the defense of the expediency of the creator of the invention.

There is nothing wrong with normal patent protection, but what if the author is not protecting his own copyright, but wants something more?

Just like "Fleeing Years", legally defend the legitimate rights and interests of "Fleeing Years", what if that shameless old man registered the urban classification as his copyright?

If he is more greedy and registers all Chinese characters as his copyright, is this normal?Still understandable?

This is really not alarmist talk. In fact, due to the first-mover advantage, the West has occupied almost all the traditional industries and the highest point of applied technology, and all of them have been blocked by patent barriers.

The West has built a high wall, and enjoys the dividends of high added value within the wall.We are blocked outside the wall, such as automobiles, medicine, machine tools, electronics, machinery, engineering, etc., which is often said that traditional industries and applied technology have reached a bottleneck, and it is almost impossible to get in.

Even if there is a breakthrough, it will not take any advantage, and it is almost impossible to obtain high added value from these traditional industries.
