Red Alert 1895

d Under Wang Guorui's intentional hint, everyone from the central government to the local government took advantage of this so-called celebration to start a large-scale construction project. As a result, it turned out that everyone was getting busier and busier as the Chinese New Year was approaching. But many people are also very happy, because their factories were half-dead, but now that there are so many construction projects, they have work to do. And their income has increased rapidly. Although they are tired of working overtime, they often get at least 150% of their salary, and some gentlemen are not without 200% or 300%.

In fact, that's it. For the bottom-level people in this era, they don't mind working overtime if they can earn more money. Because if they are half-dead to get those ordinary wages, they will spend so much on eating, drinking and drinking every day. Even if they work overtime temporarily, they will only have three meals a day. You have to eat for an extra day! So although I worked overtime, the extra expenses did not actually increase much. However, the extra wealth obtained, on the contrary, has increased the individual savings of workers.

And in this era, everyone is in the accumulation stage, and there has been no blowout yet. The large-scale construction is conducive to driving the current economic development. Even especially China's current infrastructure is too poor. For example, the so-called water conservancy projects were seriously in disrepair during the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, there are few or no roads, various educational facilities, and even various infrastructures commonly used by foreign countries in China. These infrastructures are very important to the people, and even have extremely important needs for people's livelihood.

And if you invest in infrastructure, you will never lose money. Although the amount of investment may be large, at least in the future, you can get a return that ranges from several times to as many as it is impossible to estimate. This is only for the government's income, and it is impossible to cover up the income and benefits of the private side.

So Wang Guorui completely let go of this big construction project, and then prepared for the next development. However, Wang Guorui also strictly asked his subordinates to go through various inspection methods, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to use this opportunity to get some flashy things for their own luxury enjoyment. For example, when buying things, take the opportunity to buy some jewelry or something, and I still don’t want these flashy things. These luxuries do not have much benefit to the country's economic development. On the contrary, it will encourage the wind of luxury. These things cannot be eaten or worn, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is very inappropriate, so the local government was not allowed to purchase these flashy things in large quantities. At present, it has not reached the point where it can be extravagant and wasteful, so these flashy luxury goods are strictly prohibited. is a necessary behavior.

And because of the large-scale construction, many factories have generally received orders, and those bosses are also smiling.

"Boss Zhang, are you ordering again?" the owner of a cement factory said.

The boss Zhang also said: "Yes! Recently, the government has placed a lot of orders for me, and I am too busy! I am responsible for rebuilding more than a dozen small reservoirs and repairing many roads. The money is a waste of money. It’s here, no charge, no charge! Recently, I organized an engineering team, which was the foreman I dug from the government’s enterprise. I organized some people and went. It’s not enough now, I might have to do it again Find some people. No, I’ll hurry up and talk to you! Cement! Now I heard that the cement is out of stock, so I might not be able to buy cement anymore! We signed a contract with the government, if we can’t Finish the work in time, and the liquidated damages will make me pee blood! So I don't hurry to order with you!"

"Ah? You want to order? Fortunately, you came early. Recently, the cement is selling very well, and I have sold out my goods every day. If you come later, then I don't have enough leftovers!"

Boss Zhang immediately said: "I said, we have signed a long-term contract, don't renege on your debt! If you dare to renege on your debt, then I will sue you!"

"Hehe, the current market is a seller's market. You have to increase the price! If you don't increase the price, then our contract ends here. So what if I give you liquidated damages? Anyway, the market is good now, what am I afraid of?"

Boss Zhang took a deep breath, he had never seen such shameless. But it's a seller's market now. And why is he not like this? In order to find a construction team that is good at construction, the government from all over the country is scrambling, and their own orders have been taken for two years. But he is responsible for the construction, but he also drives the upstream industry, and the cement market is also bullish!

However, Boss Zhang was not surprised when he heard that the owner of the cement factory asked for a price increase. Because it's not the same for him and those guys who are supported by the government to bid, anyway, if they take the opportunity, they can ask for more. Moreover, when I went to purchase building materials these days, the prices of steel bars and all kinds of building materials were increasing, and he was not surprised by the price increase here.

Under Wang Guorui's arrangement this time, construction projects were carried out across the country, and the upstream and downstream of various industries increased dramatically. There was even a seller's market for a time, so all industries from upstream to downstream increased sharply, and a large number of people began to enter the industry. In particular, many civil engineering industries that are not strong in technology have absorbed a large number of more unemployed people, so that they have all started to enter the work violently, and then get higher salaries. Even the large-scale construction projects may continue for a long time, so that they have a relatively long-term stable job.

After re-signing a contract, the boss Zhang complained immediately: "This time, you made a lot of money by sitting on the floor, right? You're going to get rich in the future!"

"What a fortune! It's really unlucky recently. The people in the neighborhood saw the cement making money, and they all planned to start recruiting people to make cement! No, I just heard about it today. Three people applied for the cement business. The factory. Maybe, in two months, I will have several competitors! This group of people will open the factory as soon as they open the factory, but this group of wicked guys lacks technical personnel, so they will dig me people. They directly poach people from me. Recently, I have to dig out some skilled people, and five or six of them have left. And I have to give them a raise, and they don’t make much money! "

"Some are even more vicious. My workers saw that the market is good now, and even some unscrupulous ones directly took their subordinates to set up their own businesses. I also had a headache. If I want to keep people, then I also have to give them a salary increase. gone."

And the boss Zhang also complained: "Yeah! The foremen under me who can be independent are also poached! Many people saw that this business is easy to do, so they tried hard to poach people. And I have to give those foremen a raise. Especially for those skilled workers, the salary has directly increased by 20%!"

The two of you are complaining about each other here, obviously it is also a happy trouble for this big construction! On the one hand, they are making money, but at the same time, they all face greater competition. Many people saw that this industry can make money, so they started to invest one after another, and then they felt the pressure of competition. Especially those technicians who are poached away, they have to spend more to keep their staff. Originally, there were not many technical personnel in this era, so where can they stand up to poaching now? So in order to retain talents, we had to raise salaries.

Even many ordinary people laughed, because who doesn't like a raise? Now that there is a shortage of technical personnel, those who have a little technology in their hands are treated like sweet pastries. Even when they heard that there was going to be a big construction project, it was even more refreshing. Many people didn't intend to get married at first, but in a short period of time, they also collected enough money for the bride price, which made them all prepare to get married soon, and solve life-long events.

And with the investment in large-scale construction, those places have also begun to set off a wave of building various infrastructures. And these infrastructures can even drive steel, cement, construction and even a series of industries, from downstream to upstream, and then the entire industrial chain is also driven. And when the construction of Daxing is completed and the construction of various infrastructures is completed, it will also drive the development of the transportation industry, postal services, and so on. This series of developments is immeasurable.

Even many ordinary workers can have more bargaining capital ~www.readwn.com~ so that they have more capital to bargain, and then strive for more salary and benefits for themselves. Moreover, Wang Guorui had prepared well in advance, setting up various measures to protect workers, and even setting up trade unions and other organizations in advance. He even took up positions such as the honorary chairman of the trade union himself, which largely guaranteed the interests of the workers, and prevented them from squeezing the workers as hard as in the West, and finally made the workers rebel.

In Wang Guorui's eyes, worker rebellion and peasant uprising are not the same thing, but worker rebellion is much more terrifying than peasant uprising. Many workers have at least a primary school education, not those illiterate illiterates! Even if a worker has never been to school, once he enters the city, he will learn many times more knowledge than in the countryside. Broaden their horizons, even if they haven't really gone to school, that's enough to show that their horizons have broadened.

Therefore, once the workers rise up to rebel, their power is stronger than that of the peasants. Even if some people say that they are not afraid that hooligans will fight, they are afraid that hooligans will be educated! If the cultural level of the rebels has improved a lot, it will be the most terrifying. Therefore, Wang Guorui didn't want to force the workers to rebel. The workers' rebellion was many times more terrifying than ordinary peasant uprisings, because their vision, wisdom and knowledge were much higher than that of farmers in this era.

Therefore, to maintain the interests of workers is to maintain the stability of one's own country and country to a certain extent! (to be continued.) c
