Things from Another World - Chapter 748

[748. Chapter 746 Tang En’s Simple Capital]

Human beings are social creatures, but also selfish creatures. If you tell a person, please dedicate yourself to a great goal, you will definitely be regarded as a fool.

But if you say I give you money and you give me a job, it is natural.

When productivity continues to grow and wealth privatization occurs, classes emerge.

The gap between rich and poor will widen the distance between classes, increase a large number of irreconcilable contradictions, and eventually lead to the outbreak of war… What

we want to discuss is of course not the issue of social form and contradictions. What we need to discuss is the impact of wealth on society. effect.

In the eyes of many people, wealth is wealth, a symbol of a person’s status and power. If you have wealth, you have everything.

This idea is both correct and incorrect.

Wealth is certainly a symbol of status, but this idea is too narrow.

Wealth can be used to purchase labor power.

For a person who only focuses on the present and has a narrow vision, occupying wealth is just to occupy more social resources so that he can achieve a superior life and enjoy life better.

For rulers, wealth is the catalyst and lubricant of society. The ruled country continues to develop due to the circulation of wealth. Everyone contributes their labor and creativity in order to obtain more wealth.

However, for a truly ambitious person, wealth is actually a power to redistribute social resources.

Once you master wealth, you have the qualifications to allocate social resources.

When a person has enough wealth, he will have a certain say in the development direction of the entire society.

By adjusting the direction of wealth circulation, it indirectly guides the structural transformation of the entire social industry, so that the society can develop in the direction he wants.

In fact, this influence has always existed in the process of human development, but many people have not discovered it.

For example, the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War caused Soviet society to completely lean toward the development of heavy industry. The complete disconnect between light industry and agriculture led to the final tragic outcome.

Don’t think it’s incredible. After all, the vast majority of human beings are short-sighted. They will only instinctively pursue immediate interests. It is too difficult for them to have foresight and consider the overall situation.

And what Tang En is currently doing in Purandal is actually like this.

Create industry monopolies through inspiration and technology, gain a large amount of wealth through industry monopolies, and then guide the society to develop in the direction of his ideal through the redistribution of wealth…

In this process, collecting wealth is very important, but it is not the most important thing. What is important, the most important thing is how to spend the money where it should be spent.

Ellington’s industrial foundation is becoming more and more solid, and the number of things it produces is getting larger and larger, and the quality is getting better and better, from the mint candy mint essential oil soap at the beginning to now various magic furniture and unique Harley-Davidson motorcycles, etc., the product lines of Datang Chamber of Commerce have spanned all fields from low-end to high-end.

However, although high-end products can greatly promote the development process of society, it would be embarrassing if the per capita income is too low to afford the price of such products.

So what Tang En needs to do is to build factories in various cities, then hire a large number of employees to work for him, and at the same time increase the overall salary level, allowing people’s income to further increase rapidly.

The higher their income, the stronger their sense of identification with Twain, the wider the sales of those products, and the better they develop.

“If you want to expand the factory, you can consider moving some products with low technical content to other places for production.”

Tang En reminded Fiona: “Just like our glass factory, which is built far away from Preston in Stone City. It is much better than building it in Ellington.”

Fiona said very proudly: “The residents of Preston are now very grateful to the Datang Chamber of Commerce. The jobs we provided have supported nearly one-third of the poor there. Now Glass has become one of Preston’s specialties, and Earl Haydn has proposed more than once to further expand the production capacity of quartz mines and glass factories.” Tang En

laughed dumbly: “He wants all the unemployed people in Preston to Are you going to work in a glass factory?”

“After all, no chamber of commerce can provide so many jobs except us.”

Fiona told the truth. In the current social environment of Purandal, in addition to large-scale industrial production, Fiona can use Apart from so many people, so many people are only needed in mines and farmlands.

But going to the mines to mine?

The mortality rate of miners entering the mines without protective measures is as high as 30%!

Those people would rather farm.

The quartz mine situation in Preston is much better, because Ellington provides a complete set of mana mining equipment, from rails, mine carts, lighting miner helmets to mana drills, etc. With these equipment, the mining of quartz ore The speed has more than doubled, and the safety level has also been improved a lot.

The city lord, Earl Haydn, was of course happy.

“Since the effect is good, let’s continue to do this.”

Tang En knocked on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: “Ellington’s future development will mainly focus on heavy industry, oh, it refers to the magic machinery and finishing industries. What we have to do is to lead the development of the entire Purandar. As for those light industries, such as food, textile, leather, papermaking, daily necessities, culture, education, art, sports goods and other related industries, the production will gradually be transferred to other cities, promoting each city to have its own unique Specialty industries to enhance market response capabilities.”

“These industries are basically controlled by the big chambers of commerce, and they may not be willing to follow our arrangements.”

Tang En smiled slightly and pointed to the documents on the table: “Sometimes, An arm cannot twist a thigh, but a piece of policy can make them bow their heads obediently, do you believe it?”

Fiona was startled, then suddenly realized after a moment: “You want to control the transfer of industries by issuing urban support policies?”

“Correct answer.”

Tang En said with a smile: “Don’t forget, businessmen are profit-seeking, as long as they have With a sufficiently favorable policy, they will take notice of it themselves without us asking.”

Fiona nodded and asked another question: “But now the city lords have great autonomy, and the imperial capital’s laws may not allow them to force them to do so. Execution.”

“So,” Tang En’s smile became a little weird, “The technology we just broke through allows us to govern territories thousands of miles away in the imperial capital…”

Of course, what Tang En said is A magic communicator developed based on the theory of micro magic circles and magic fluctuations. Once this magic modified version of the phone appears on the market, it will be even more powerful than a phone – this thing can have built-in video calls from the beginning. of!

When Fiona heard this, she finally understood the significance of what Tang En had been constantly urging the institute to do.

The backwardness of communication means resulted in low centralized control over local governments. Even if an order was sent between two cities using a flying monster, it would often take several days. This delay was very fatal.

If messages can reach their destination instantly, it means that the central government has unprecedentedly strong control over local governments.

“That is to say, because our technology has made breakthroughs, you no longer have to worry about the city lords becoming independent after becoming powerful, so you plan to increase investment in other cities?” “

It can be understood that way.”

Fiona gently stroked the pen in her hand He tapped his forehead and kept thinking about the gains and losses in his mind.

If we only relied on Ellington, it would undoubtedly be fanciful to reach the industrial age that Twain aimed for. It would take too long, and Twain couldn’t afford to wait.

Now that the micro-magic array replica technology has made a breakthrough, as long as the problems of the central server and the laying of signal towers are solved, the magic phone can be launched on the market immediately.

Once magic mobile phones become popular, the information exchange in the entire Purandar will be instantly upgraded to another level, and the frequency and quantity of exchanges will be greatly increased. In this process, countless collisions of ideas will bring great benefits to the world. push.

Whenever he thought that all this was brought about by himself, Tang En would feel inexplicably excited.

“Okay, I’ve written it down.”

Fiona summarized the ideas put forward by Tang En. First, they would spend money to open a driving school in Ellington to train drivers and a group of driving school teachers, and then spend money to open driving schools in other cities. The driving school is going to make preliminary preparations for the sale of magic cars, and then spend money to build buses, spend money to improve transportation in Yalinks, and then spend money to invest in supporting light industries in other cities and revitalize the overall Illus Empire. The economic situation…

To be honest, if it weren’t for the upcoming sale of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and a large sum of gold coins coming in, Fiona really wanted to reject all the ideas he put forward.

Because the stall is too big, funds are tight!

Don’t forget, the Datang Chamber of Commerce is not just making money, it is still burning money every day!

Although they say that if you want to get rich, you must first plant trees…ah, build roads first, but how many people know the cost of building roads?

Although the cooperation with Star Diamond Bank saves a lot of capital investment, there must be no less money spent in the early stage.

Although the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute has developed many products, it also burns a lot of gold coins every month. Those expensive magic materials are not only provided by Tang En, but a large part of them are purchased from the market—— There was no way, Tang En didn’t prepare the low-end materials at all, or in other words, the gods didn’t arrange the low-end materials he could buy for him in the first place.

There is also the construction of Ellington, which may require a lot of money. Don’t think that those workers’ faith-like worship of Tang En does not require spending money. If you dare to delay wages, they will let you know how fragile this faith is. .

In addition, there are a large number of workers’ monthly salaries. Now the total monthly salary paid by the Datang Chamber of Commerce has exceeded the tens of millions of gold coins. The Datang Chamber of Commerce has completely become the second largest company after Purandar. The giant chain of Star Diamond Bank.

No matter how reluctant Fiona is, the money has to be spent.

Fortunately, Harley motorcycles are about to go on the market, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce will have a lot of income again.
