Chapter 747 (1/2)

Human is a social creature, but also a selfish creature. If you say to a person, please give your strength for a great goal - it will be regarded as a fool.

But if you say I give you money and you give me a job, you take it for granted.

When productivity continues to grow and wealth is privatized, class comes into being.

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

Of course, what we need to discuss is not the problem of social form and contradiction. What we need to discuss is the role of wealth in society.

In the eyes of many people, wealth is wealth, a symbol of one's identity, status and power. With wealth, you have everything.

This idea is right and wrong.

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

Wealth can be used to buy labor.

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 get a better life and enjoy life.

For rulers, wealth is the catalyst and lubricant of society. The ruling country is developing continuously because of the circulation of wealth. Everyone contributes his labor force and creativity in order to make more wealth.

However, for a truly ambitious person, wealth is actually a power for the redistribution of social resources.

If you master wealth, you will master the qualification of allocating social resources.

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

Through the adjustment of the direction of wealth circulation, indirectly guide the structural transformation of the whole 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 found it.

For example, the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the cold war made the Soviet society completely inclined to the development of heavy industry, and the complete disconnection 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, let them have foresight and take into account the overall situation. It's too difficult for them.

And that's what Donne is doing in prandal.

Create industry monopoly through inspiration and technology, make a lot of wealth through industry monopoly, and then guide the society to develop in his ideal direction through the redistribution of wealth

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

Ellington's industrial foundation is becoming more and more solid, and the quantity and quality of things produced are getting larger and better. From the beginning of peppermint, peppermint essential oil soap to all kinds of magic furniture and unique Harley motorcycle, Datang chamber of Commerce's product line has spanned all fields from low-end to high-end.

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

So what Donne needs to do is to build factories in various cities, then hire a large number of employees to work for him, and improve the overall salary level to further rapidly improve people's income.

The higher their income, the stronger their recognition of Donne, the wider the sales of those products and the better their development.

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

Donnie Fiona: ”it's like our glass factory. It's much better to build it in Preston than in Ellington.”

Fiona said proudly: ”the residents of Preston are now very grateful to Datang chamber of Commerce. The jobs we provide feed nearly one-third of the poor there. Now glass has become one of Preston's specialties. Count Haydn has proposed to further expand the production capacity of quartz mine and glass factory more than once.”

Donne chuckled. ”Does he want all the unemployed in Preston to work in the glass factory?”

”After all, apart from us, no chamber of commerce can provide so many jobs.”

Fiona is telling the truth. In the current social environment of prandal, except that so many people will be used for large-scale industrial production, only so many people will be needed in mines and farmland.

But go to the mine? The death rate of miners without protective measures entering the mine is as high as 30%!

Those people prefer to farm.

The situation of Preston's quartz mine is much better, because Ellington provides a complete set of magic energy mining equipment, from rail, mine car, miner's helmet for lighting to magic energy drilling rig, etc. with these equipment, the mining speed of quartz mine has been more than doubled and tripled, and the safety level has also been improved a lot.
