Chapter 295 Dragon Slayer's Holy Artifact

Luo Xiu cannot fight capital with his own strength, all he can do is to find a weapon to restrain capital.

The dragon-slaying warrior was very weak in the early stage, until he pulled out the holy sword.

The dragon of capital looks invincible, but it is not invincible.

According to ancient legends, there is a holy artifact that can restrain this evil dragon.

This holy artifact is the Socialist Hammer.

In the early days of the mobile Internet, the state's regulation of capital was relatively relaxed.

We have seen some Internet companies form monopoly through low-price subsidies.

In the future, this trick will gradually fail. For example, in the future, some companies will want to build charging piles at a price far below the cost, and force their opponents to death through vicious competition.As a result, the hammer fell directly.

It's not that Luoxiu doesn't want to accept capital money, but that you burn their billions of money. In the future, you have to give them enough returns, and you have to take 30% of the money to harvest users.

For a platform with an annual revenue of 10 billion yuan, excluding fixed expenses such as taxes, the [-]% commission is worth [-] billion yuan, which is enough to cover the operating expenses of the platform.

However, capital is greedy. If there is no limit, they will take 30%, or even 40%...

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic needs of everyone, and the basic needs of more than one billion people are absolutely impossible to be monopolized by a single enterprise.

Luo Xiu, who was reborn from the future, witnessed a fine of 180 billion, witnessed various interviews, and witnessed all kinds of big capital trembling under the hammer.

When the profits are sufficient, the capitalists will sell the rope to hang themselves.

Luo Xiu didn't want to be hanged by the rope he wove in the future.

Therefore, he emphasized to Li Shan again and again that making rice balls cannot earn a high percentage of commission like other platforms.

Fantuan can't earn commission money, but service money.

The services we provide to customers and merchants are equivalent to our charges.

How much service is provided and how much is charged, making sure that every penny earned is our hard-earned money.

We don't monopolize the market, we just win more customers' trust through better service.

The current situation is that the service of rice balls does not have too many advantages. For ordinary customers, it is far less attractive than large subsidies.

Even if everyone knows that every 1 yuan takeaway we eat now is an accomplice to high-priced takeaways in the future, but who can refuse 1 yuan takeaway?

I rejected the 1 yuan takeaway, but no one else refused. In the end, the current low price was not taken up, and the future high price still has to be paid.

This is the evil result of a free economy, and if there is no external coercion, everyone will have to eat it.

Give another example.

A disaster occurred in a certain place, and the local residents needed food. Some businessmen took risks to send food to the disaster area, and the price increased a hundred times at the same time.

At this time, economists will tell us that the government cannot shoot these businessmen, but must allow the businessmen to raise prices, because no one is willing to send food to the disaster-stricken areas, and all the people in the disaster-stricken areas will starve to death.

Sounds very reasonable, but is this the best way?In a free economy, if there are 1 people in the disaster area, in order to maximize their profits, businessmen will only provide food for 9000 people, leaving 1000 people who cannot pay to starve to death, and the rest can only buy food with all their money.

Another way is to force the state to intervene, allowing merchants to raise prices by a certain amount, so that they have the motivation to do this, but setting a price ceiling and resolutely dealing with those merchants who want to make money in the country.

In this way, people in the disaster-stricken area can get relief, they will not lose their property, and businessmen can earn a certain amount of money.

To combat monopoly, the country must adopt strong policies, such as stipulating that the platform cannot charge more than 10% of the service fee.

Another way is to refer to the anti-dumping agreement on export trade.

In export trade, country A subsidizes export companies, allowing them to sell a certain product to country B at a price far below the cost of production. The merchants that produced the product in country B had no way to match the price and had to go bankrupt one after another, so country A monopolized the market for the product in country B.

This is exactly the same as the platform's strategy of crossing rivals through subsidies and forming a monopoly.It's just that in the export trade, the country acts as a capitalist, and the country pays to subsidize the merchants and monopolize the market of another country.

The WTO has issued regulations that define what constitutes commodity dumping.

Each country also has its own regulations. For example, the U.S. government stipulates that when the landed price of foreign goods is lower than the ex-factory price, it is considered to be dumping, and anti-dumping measures will be taken immediately.

But the WTO is still too weak compared with big countries.Some hegemonic countries can ignore WTO regulations and go their own way, using anti-dumping as one of the means of trade war.

But the state has enough power to restrain capitalists.

The country can imitate the anti-dumping model, define which behaviors are "dumping", and use fines and other forms of restrictions.

Luo Xiu came here this time just to see if it was possible to push the wheel of history forward.
