Chapter 642: Proposal

And capitalists are inherently profit-seeking...... Especially the capitalists in the United States, at that time the United States could be said to be the emperor of Japan, why not use Japan with so much cheap labor?

So they moved their factories to Japan, or sold the relevant technology to the Japanese OEM, and the products produced were shipped back to the United States for the enjoyment of the high-ranking Americans, and the capitalists made huge profits in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, because Japan was industrious and studious, it soon mastered a considerable amount of technology and innovated on the basis of it in the process of being "used" by the United States, so that Japan's industry was very prosperous for a while, and later it even surpassed the United States.

But it goes without saying what the result was...... Japan is the younger brother of the United States, how can the United States let the younger brother surpass itself, so a piece of paper on the square agreement knocked Japan back to its original form.

It should be said that Japan's rise to China is also indispensable:

First, there was the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea...... Due to Japan's proximity to Korea, the United Nations forces led by the United States needed Japan to produce a large number of military supplies and supplies to support the Korean War, so Japan received a large number of orders and related technologies such as automobiles, jeeps, and tanks.

Then came the U.S.-Vietnam War, and the United States, which was mired in Vietnam, also needed Japan to produce military supplies, including South Korea and Taiwan...... It was at this time that South Korean President Park Chung-hee and Taiwan's Chiang Ching-kuo seized the opportunity to work for the United States, making money and learning technology at the same time.

Then there is China's reform and opening up.

You must know that Japan, South Korea, etc., have been OEM for the United States for a period of time and have considerable technological advantages and industrial capacity for China, and as soon as China opens up to the outside world, it is equivalent to opening up a huge market to the outside world...... As a result, these countries and regions have all made a lot of money, and they have become the Asian tigers with economic take-off.

However, the good times did not last long, with the improvement of living standards in Japan, South Korea and other places, their labor costs are also increasing correspondingly, while the Chinese people are so poor that the labor costs are low, coupled with China's reform and opening up policy, it has attracted capitalists from all over the world to set up factories in China......

When China has mastered a certain technology, the technological advantage of the Asian tigers over China has disappeared, and the era of Japanese and Korean goods on the streets has passed, and it has been replaced by more and more domestic goods, that is, China itself occupies its own market, so it is destined that the four tigers will become the four insects.

At this time, Zhang Chi planned to develop Okinawan industry in this way, and Zhang Chi was also sure that this direction was correct.

"But......" Staff Officer Liang asked, "...... How do you get started? ”

No one had any experience with this, so they didn't really know what to do...... Except for Zhang Chi.

"The first is to develop infrastructure!" Zhang Chi said: "For example, water, electricity, roads, railways, airports, ports, merchant ships, ...... If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, these are the first conditions for investing in building a factory, otherwise even if we have low labor costs, the products produced by the factory will increase in cost due to insufficient infrastructure! ”

This is what modern China does, and India is a counterexample.

Compared with China, India had better conditions after World War II, and India colonized by the British had a more complete road, railway and industrial system, but India wanted to take a step forward and develop a software industry that did not need roads and railways instead of developing basic industries.

As a result, there are power outages several times a day, narrow and congested roads, and railways are frequent...... Any factory that has a factory in India needs to consider much higher operating costs and transportation costs than anywhere else.

"The second is to develop education!" Zhang Chi continued: "Education seems to be a loss-making business, but only by generally improving the people's knowledge level and learning ability can they become qualified laborers, otherwise they can't even write their own names, and they can't do the work that is slightly difficult, so they can only farm at home and can't use it!" ”

After the reform and opening up, China did just that, with the phrase "education should start from the baby", and compulsory education was soon launched...... The books I read in school seem to be useless, what Chinese, mathematics, etc., how many can I really use in life?!

It doesn't seem to work!

But in fact, in the process of learning, everyone is constantly cultivating their learning ability and thinking ability, which enables every labor force to learn and complete their work faster and better in the workplace.

Here is another counter-example in India, where the caste system leaves most of the country's educational opportunities to the upper castes, while the lower castes and untouchables are largely left to their fate...... There is even a saying that in India as long as you can write your own name is not considered illiterate, but half of the people in India are still illiterate.

This kind of labor, even if it is very cheap for a modern factory, is unusable, almost like nothing.

"Finally, it's law and order!" Zhang Chi said: "A good public security environment can protect the interests of capitalists, so that capitalists can build factories here with peace of mind, workers can work with peace of mind, and the whole society can develop benignly." ”

Needless to say, after the reform and opening up, China has several rounds of "strike hard", gradually building China into one of the safest countries in the world.

India, on the other hand, is basically in a state of disorder: no matter which political party comes to power, they are most concerned about controlling the police force, because only by controlling the police force can they use the police to take bribes from the people, and then make money back exponentially from the money they invested in the election...... As a result, it is normal for police officers to solicit bribes and threaten them on the streets, and these police officers are generally not bad cops, because a considerable part of the money they receive has to be handed over.

After Zhang Chi finished saying these words, there was no sound in the conference room for a long time, and no one said good or bad.

This is not surprising to Zhang Chi, because of these things that he mentioned...... That was all implemented in China decades later, which is too far ahead of its time, even if it was only a few ideas.

In other words, none of the officers present at the meeting knew whether these methods were right or wrong, and they were not verified, and they could not be verified at the moment, so they could not make judgments.

Zhang Chi nodded with satisfaction, because Zhang Chi believed that from this point of view, it could show that the officers looked at the problem more objectively rather than blindly flattering the horse.

"So be it!" Zhang Chi concluded: "These suggestions are not dead, that is, they are not necessarily right, try it for a period of time to see how the effect is, if you don't make changes again, what do the brothers think?" ”

"Good!"

"No problem!"

……

The officers agreed.
