God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 359

"The basic salary is 580 yuan, and the total monthly income is around 1200 yuan, but overtime pay is the main income."

"In a week, the average worker typically works 70 hours."

Director Zhang can tell the relevant data basically without thinking.

As the leader of the region, if he doesn't even know these things, he is too out of touch with the masses.

"Then do you know what is the monthly salary of the lowest-paid employee in our infinite company?" Chen Weidong nodded with a smile, and continued to ask.

"I heard Director Zhang said that it seems to be around 7000 yuan." Mentioning this, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing a look of envy.

Except for Infinity Company, he has never seen any company that pays ordinary employees so much salary. Is this the capitalist who, in his impression, does everything possible to exploit workers for the sake of profit?
This "minimum" salary income exceeds that of most civil servants!
Chen Weidong said with a smile: "This is actually related to our industrial structure. Most of our products are high-tech products. The main sales markets are Western countries such as Europe and the United States. With high added value and high profits, we naturally have the ability to distribute them to our employees. More salary."

"If our Infinity Company builds the production workshop, we will increase the after-tax income of front-line employees to about 3000 yuan, and guarantee a five-day and eight-hour working system."

"Boss Chen! Is what you said true?" The middle-aged man almost stood up from the sofa when he heard this.

During this period, the tax benchmark for personal income tax was 800 yuan, but at their level, the information is naturally better than ordinary people. It has been reported that new standards for personal income tax collection are being formulated.

It is possible that next year, the year after at the latest, the tax rate will be raised to 1600 yuan.

Moreover, according to Chen Weidong's tone, this is to build a large-scale factory.

If the number of employees of Foxconn is compared, then South China City will directly increase hundreds of thousands of tax residents, which will greatly promote the local economy and finance.

"Haha, Xiao Chen, if what you said is true, we will definitely support you." Director Zhang also smiled from ear to ear, completely gone from the previous "this is very troublesome" attitude.

South China City is different from other regions. The tax revenue is not handed over to Guangdong Province, but part of it is handed over to the Central Bank, and most of it is kept in the local treasury.

Chen Weidong rubbed his nose and smiled wryly. To put it bluntly, isn't it a matter of interests?
This old fox is still so cunning!

Director Zhang and the middle-aged man seem to have matured all aspects of the problem in an instant, and they also proposed several solutions. The meaning is that as long as Chen Weidong can implement the salary he said, even if Foxconn moves out in the future, They don't care either.

The purpose of the establishment of the special zone is to introduce advanced technology.

It is a helpless move to establish labor-intensive industries.

But if we have more advanced technology ourselves, it will become an inevitable trend to eliminate low-end manufacturing.

"By the way, how much are you going to sell for this smartphone when it goes on the market?" Director Zhang drank the tea in front of him, and then asked curiously.

"About a worker's salary for one month."

This price was initially determined by Chen Weidong after asking the R&D department.

Otherwise, relying on the epoch-making breakthrough of their mobile phone, even if the price is more than 5000 yuan, they will not worry about selling it at all.

Considering the income level of ordinary people in China, he still decided to lower the price so that most people in the country can afford it while retaining a certain profit margin.

It's not that he is rich or not, but that there is an economic issue involved.

As early as the 20s, Ford, which made cars, gave the answer.

As a veteran manufacturing factory, Ford took the lead in raising wages for workers, and strictly implemented the five-day and eight-hour working system.

The reason why Ford did this was out of a kind of business rationality born after an in-depth understanding of the market.

Although they introduced the assembly line and expanded the production of cars, new problems also followed.

If Ford employees can't even afford the cars they make, how many of them can afford them?

If a product wants to obtain lasting returns, it cannot rely on a small group of consumers.

Otherwise the market will become unstable.

There is no point in expanding production.

As a result, Ford started doubling and doubling the wages of the workers by a large margin. The purpose is to allow the workers to have sufficient purchasing power.

The final result of this kind of behavior is to set off a new round of industry involution, forcing other companies to raise wages for workers, which indirectly improves the local economic level.

But affordability is not enough.

If workers are allowed to stay on the assembly line for most of the day, how can they have time to drive?

Therefore, it is necessary to create effective demand.

So Ford not only raised wages for workers, but also added a lot of holidays, so that they could drive their own cars and take the whole family on vacation, and the cars made by Ford would no longer have to worry about being unable to sell.

Therefore, the core of Fordism is not the evil assembly line, but to let its own workers have the ability and willingness to buy their own products to achieve the effect of internal circulation.

The Infinity Company is now facing a very similar situation.

The ecosystem of smartphones, the software installed in the future, and the Internet industry involved will all be related to the giant Infinity Company, if their own employees do not have time to consume and experience products.

Then their company's business will gradually fall into a stagnant pool.

Director Zhang and the others certainly understand this truth, but they still feel sincere admiration for Chen Weidong and Infinity Company for their willingness to sacrifice their own interests to benefit the public.

"I know that you can use automated assembly lines to replace most of the workers, but you didn't do that. Instead, you tried your best to create more jobs. Thank you for everything you have done for the country! Thank you!"

"As for the network access permit you mentioned, there are various procedures. We will send someone to the telecommunications department to help you get it done as soon as possible without delaying your issuance."

Before leaving, Director Zhang stood at the door of the office and said earnestly.

This is what he admires most about Chen Weidong. He has never been mercenary like other businessmen, but understands his social responsibility and uses his ability to help more ordinary people.

How great would it be if every business owner had this awareness?
Chen Weidong smiled at this.

Some rules are hard to change by himself, but someone still has to do it, doesn't he?

His rebirth seemed like a dream yesterday, and before he knew it, he had already begun to influence this great era.

Although it is not easy to see it when you are in it, but looking back at the past, ten or 20 years ago, this progress seems so great.

Even Western countries, which claim to be well-developed civilizations, look at China every once in a while and exclaim at how big the change has been. On the contrary, he, who is in it, is not surprised.

Only 25 years after the opening of the economy, so much progress has been made.

Being in the midst of great changes in the country and the nation, experiencing this glorious journey and making contributions to it is really exciting.

Chen Weidong stared quietly at the ever-changing new city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. After a long silence, he said softly: "We are a great nation, and we are bound to move towards a greater and more brilliant future!"
