My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 433 Why Are There More Profits?

After the movie ended, it was already evening, the street lights were turned on, and the neon lights of the city began to flicker.

On the overpass, Lin Haitang stopped and leaned against the guardrail, looking at the continuous flow of traffic below, the evening breeze caressed her hair, her eyes seemed a little lonely.

"Here!" Meng Lang handed over a cup of hot drink.

"Thank you!"

Meng Lang glanced at Lin Haitang, stood beside her, and took a sip of his drink.

"Is there something on your mind?"

From just now, he had vaguely noticed that the other party seemed to be in a low mood, and just agreeing to a "date" was a bit abnormal.

After watching the movie, this feeling is even stronger.

Lin Haitang was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired from work recently..."

Meng Lang remembered Lin Haitang's frequent business trips during this period.

"What? Encountered a difficult case?"

Lin Haitang shook her head, "It's just that after watching the movie, I feel a little bit emotional. Many things don't get results if you persist, or if you persist, you may not be able to get the results you want."

Meng Lang couldn't help but nodded, "Yes! I am deeply touched by this."

Lin Haitang gave him a strange look.

"Oh, I mean, it's like the hero in the movie. Although persistence may not bring good results, but if the starting point is good, I think the future will eventually change slowly."

"Perhaps, but for the current people, after all, it is missed... Justice will be late, but it is really possible to be absent..."

"Yeah!" Meng Lang nodded frantically beside him.

Regarding this point, he definitely has a "deep understanding"!

"A just trial is to prevent tragedies from happening again.

But if the trial loses fairness and justice, similar tragedies will be staged again and again, and the law will become a tool for money and power manipulation.

However, the reality is that there are too many things that money can control, witnesses, testimonies, and even plaintiffs...

The parties often don't care about fairness and justice, unless the result of fairness and justice is beneficial to themselves.

Maybe, the movie is right, there is actually only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty..."

Meng Lang looked at Lin Haitang who seemed to be expressing his feelings, but he already had some guesses in his heart.

There is no doubt that the current judicial environment is gradually improving.

Of course, objectively speaking, the judicial environment in big cities is generally better than that in local areas. The more remote the area, the more it is impossible to rule out the participation of forces other than the law in some cases involving the core interests of the parties...

Imperfect system, unscientific power allocation and power operation mechanism, unsound guarantee system... These are all influencing factors.

If it is mixed with the use of banknote ability, the situation will be even more complicated.

The vast majority of lawyers are helpless in the face of such cases.

No matter how strong an individual is, it is impossible to resist the system.

During these few business trips, Lin Haitang probably encountered a similar situation.

But this kind of thing is different from ordinary illegal and criminal situations, and it cannot be reversed by relying on personal strength...

He could only comfort him.

"So, our lawyer Lin is not planning to abandon the law and go into business, determined to eliminate poverty, and work hard for the common prosperity of the motherland?"

Lin Haitang was successfully amused by this sentence.

"No, I'm not that weak. Nietzsche said that fairness is the demand of the weak. In fact, it is the poor who need the law more.

Because the law treats everyone equally, and the rich always have more power in reality to carry out their will.

The principle of law is to protect the weak, and this is the greatest shining point of human society.

As members of the legal community, if none of us have confidence in the integrity of justice, can anyone else be expected to have confidence?"

Meng Lang gave a thumbs up.

"Well said! This is the Lin Haitang I know! Don't worry, I will fully support you behind the scenes!"

"You? How do you support me?"

"Of course, you are responsible for fairness and justice, and I am responsible for common prosperity!" Meng Lang half-jokingly said.

"Common prosperity?" Lin Haitang was at a loss for Meng Lang's "support".

"What I mean is, look, it's time for dinner, I'm going to treat you to a movie, you little rich woman with a monthly income of [-], shouldn't you treat me to a big meal to eliminate a little bit of poverty between us?" Wealth gap?"

Lin Haitang was dumbfounded.

"But... the movie ticket just now seems to be paid by me too?"

"Oh! Don't worry about the details. The law says it all. You must listen carefully to the voices of the people."

Lin Haitang couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Then the law also says that we must go beyond the prejudices of the people..."

"A dinner treat between friends, how can it be regarded as prejudice! Let's go, we must eat a big family tonight!"

……

The hospital is like a mirror, reflecting the warmth and coldness of people in the world, and epitomizing the suffering of all beings. In the place closest to death, the most extreme joys and sorrows in the world, and the most difficult choices are staged every day.

And being poor is our most pitiful gesture in the face of serious illness...

The movie just now did not leave Meng Lang untouched.

We are just ordinary people. In the face of disease, we will be afraid and want to live.

And a few taels of broken silver can relieve all kinds of panic...

In Lin Haitang's view, legal fairness and justice are important, but to Meng Lang, he feels that "common prosperity" is the root cause of many social conflicts.

The most important reason for this contradiction is the backwardness of the wealth distribution method.

The disease of poverty, in the final analysis, is a problem of wealth distribution.

The initial distribution is monopolized by a large number of vested interests, resulting in an excessive gap between the rich and the poor. This problem exists not only in China, but in almost all countries.

Throughout history, whether it is the so-called land annexation or peasant uprising.

In the final analysis, almost all human conflicts and disputes, and even the change of dynasties, except religion, are social turmoil caused by uneven distribution of wealth.

A Gini coefficient is only a general statistic, and the reasons for this are complex.

This involves society, law, system, human nature...

Perhaps because he had read too many "books" and opened his eyes, Meng Lang's previous hatred for the rich had faded a lot.

In his view, making money is not moral in itself.

The bottom line for making money is law, not morality.

The only way to make money that does not violate morality is manual labor.

Those who drive BMWs and Mercedes-Benz are often called "treacherous and flatterers" by the poor, and few of them go to work honestly.

Because what these people follow is not moral standards, but pragmatism and interests first.

Another example is that those companies with huge profits, such as Fuji Kan, are often sweatshops that play "extracting the surplus value of employees" to the extreme.

Of course, they may come up with a corporate culture of high ethical standards to appease employees.

For example, in the office of the boss of the company, there are either Buddha statues or Bodhisattvas in it, or there are plaques such as "the best kindness is like water", "good virtue carries things"...

In fact, everyone who understands knows that these are all for employees to see.

90% of the income of the rich comes from pragmatism and utilitarianism. What they follow are the laws of the market and the weakness of human nature, not morality.

On the other hand, 90% of ordinary people's income comes from working honestly, earning hard-earned money that conforms to ethical standards.

As a brother said before, some people are poor not because they are lazy, but because the money they earn is too clean.

The reason why the poor are poor all their lives is often because their moral standards are too high...

Although this statement may not be applicable to all, it can be applied to 100 out of 99 poor people.

The law, of course, can restrict all kinds of "immoral" means of getting rich.

But the flaw of the law is... it is all shackles for the weak, and it is all loopholes for the strong!

For example, if the amount is 1, it is called tax evasion, and if the amount is tens of millions, it is called reasonable tax avoidance.

Another example, stricter on others and more lenient on self-discipline, is called dual-track system...

Meng Lang asked himself to study the Tao Te Ching hard. He still had a certain level of morality, and there were quite a few, but he was not strong enough to challenge 404 yet.

Perhaps because of "occupational diseases", unlike Lin Haitang's spiritual beliefs, what he thought of from this movie was something more "utilitarian"...

To put it mildly, the distribution of medical resources is also a type of wealth distribution.

On a larger scale, the main contradiction within a country, or even between countries, is still the contradiction of wealth distribution.

And wealth is the root and driving force of human wars...

To put it bluntly, the internal contradictions and conflicts of human beings are the problem of wealth distribution, so when the uneven distribution of wealth reaches a critical point...

Then we must be alert to "emergencies" such as the "Three World Wars"...

Because of this, Meng Lang was actually very motivated to actively promote a more advanced "wealth distribution" method.

It is undeniable that as society progresses, some groups with more advanced wealth distribution methods have also emerged in the world.

For example, the employee-owned chrysanthemum factory, the "zero profit" Amazon, the acne marks of millions of bloggers who are crazy about making money...

These can be said to be the first entrepreneurs who have eaten crabs in the modern and more advanced wealth distribution methods, achieving a win-win situation.

But that's not enough!
The trend of the future must be...the less the entrepreneurs who don't want to make money, the better the company will do...

"Damn! Why is there more profit this month..."

Welfare Bag Financial Information Services Ltd.

Brother Biao looked at the series of zeros behind the column of profit for the month in the report automatically generated by the "Tianshu ERP" system, and scratched his head a little annoyed...
