Every day in Daming will bring surprises to many people, especially those who are new to the country.
Ever since he came to this land, it has brought Morgan many surprises and surprises one after another.
What are these surprises and surprises?
Of course it's a business opportunity.
As a businessman, he always sees many potential business opportunities.
As usual, after a day of visiting, he was sitting in an open-air restaurant near the park. Enjoying a Chinese meal, Morgan looked at the people walking and playing in the park in the distance and said.
"Kecham, look at their life..."
Pointing at the people in the park, Morgan said in a rather emotional tone.
"After they finish work every day, they can take their families to play in the park, gather in restaurants, and enjoy a sumptuous meal. Their homes not only have electric lights and gas, but also hot water for bathing.
The house they live in is also located in a garden. Although it is an apartment, the environment is very beautiful. Their children can receive a good education, which is unimaginable in the United States."
Morgan's words made Ketcham agree with him deeply.
"That's true. Who can believe that they are just a group of extremely ordinary workers?"
Looking at the people on the roadside, there was even a hint of jealousy in his tone. Even though he lived a richer life in the United States, he was still jealous of these people, because in his opinion, such a life was definitely not that of ordinary people.
It should be enjoyed.
"When we were in the United States, we never thought that ordinary workers could live such a happy life. Almost everyone's face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. All of this is hard to see among American workers."
See happiness on the faces of American workers?
"Is it possible? What kind of work do they do every day? Since the advent of the electric light... the electric light invented by Ming Dynasty, the working hours of American workers have been extended to 17 hours. God can testify that even so, their income
It was just a hand-to-mouth existence. They lived in a slum filled with sewage and disease. Their family was crowded into a small room. The men and women were dressed in extremely degrading clothes. The children grew up like gangsters.
There would be no opportunity for education.”
There was no sympathy in Morgan's tone, but only condescending contempt. Yes, he had no sympathy for ordinary people at all. In his opinion, there were only two kinds of people in the world, one was the poor and the other was the rich.
The reason why the rich are rich is because most people are poor. Only in this way can the rich continue to live a prosperous life by exploiting the poor.
If the poor are no longer poor, will there still be rich people? After all, there is only so much wealth, either the rich will make up the majority, or the rich will have to share the wealth with the poor.
So from this standpoint, no rich person wants to see the poor become rich. In their opinion, it is even immoral to let the poor become rich.
"The workers in the factory have their hands and legs broken by machines. That is their own responsibility and has nothing to do with the factory. But what about here? They actually provide workers with work-related injury insurance. What a great disability. Not only do workers
You can get free medical treatment and even a large amount of compensation, can you believe it?"
Kecham said with deep understanding.
"Indeed, this is simply generosity to others. After all, this money is borne by the factory owner. For the factory owner, this is a large expense and extremely inappropriate. Those workers will be injured, which is completely
It's because they were careless. What does it have to do with the factory? Even if the factory owner pays him an extra month's salary, he is already very kind."
As for the topic of Chi Guoguo, they can talk about it without any pressure or psychological burden. For capitalists like them, they have never cared about the lives of ordinary people, let alone the well-being of ordinary people.
"He is using factory owners' money to bribe ordinary people! I mean the emperor and officials of the Ming Dynasty. They are using this method to gain the support of the people. Of course, this is a waste at all,"
The views of capitalists throughout the ages are surprisingly consistent. They always have ideas such as blessings and rewards. As for sharing wealth with others, of course it becomes a waste in their eyes.
In other words: commit evil and give the money to the poor...
"But that's not important!"
Morgan said after picking up the glass and taking a sip of whiskey.
“What we can see is that while paying a lot of wages to workers and wasting a lot of profits on those things, their profits are still extremely considerable, just like the profits of their steel company, Dahua Steel Company
What is the guarantee?"
"Their equipment is very advanced. The iron-to-coke ratio of their iron-making blast furnaces is only 0.93, while the iron-to-coke ratio of American iron plants is generally above 1.5, and some factories even exceed 2! The coke consumption is twice that of the Ming Dynasty."
Morgan deeply agreed with Ketchum's words.
"It's true. Advanced technology allows them to use less fuel and produce more steel plants. I have analyzed that the cost per ton of steel of Dahua Steel Company may be 50% lower than that of the United States. You know this
What is the concept?”
Looking at Ketchum, Morgan said.
"Since Congress has imposed a 28% tariff on imported steel rails, Daming's steel company is still exporting steel rails to the United States. Last year, the United States imported more than 200,000 tons of steel rails from Daming. If Daming's equipment is introduced,
If you start a steel company, the profits will be extremely considerable, my friend."
Looking at the park in the distance and the people walking in the park, Morgan's mind flashed to the community he had been to. Thinking of the beautiful environment in the community, Morgan had only one thought in his mind - just put it there.
Giving money to the poor is simply unforgivable!
"So you want to start a steel company?"
Ketchum looked at Morgan and said curiously.
“Aren’t we here to build a hydroelectric plant?”
"Yes, hydropower stations are the most important. A hydropower station can continuously provide electricity, and electricity is the real future. In the future, whoever controls electricity will control everything. We have seen a lot these days.
"
"If we have sufficient funds, investing in steel companies would also be a good idea, but right now this is not the best choice."
At this moment, someone came to their table and asked tentatively.
"Are you Mr. Morgan?"
