The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 763: A company is comparable to a country! The absolute overlord of South America! Shen Wansan's blood boils: Can businessmen play like this?

——"You see, this is why so many countries in Latin America are still so poor. They have been sucked dry."

——"The cold chain transportation system they invented is still in use today, but at the cost of destroying the livelihoods of many small farmers."

——"Marrying a politician's daughter, bribing officials, controlling the media, are there companies using this tactic now?"

……

Seeing this, the ancients of all dynasties were all indignant!

This method of exploiting workers is even worse than the harsh policies of the past!
Those people who work so hard not only have to pay with blood and sweat, but in the end even their lives may be lost here!

I never expected that the world in later times could be so dark!

What is the difference between this and cattle and horse slaves?

They are said to be free laborers, but their lives are worse than those of an old ox plowing the fields.

At least the old cow can rest when it is tired and can be treated when it is sick, but these poor laborers can't even save their lives.

I thought that future generations would be enlightened and progressive, but who would have thought that such dark things would exist.

The most lamentable thing is that these people can still do such a dirty business so well!

The fourth one makes people sigh with regret!

After all, the ever-changing world has made it hard for the lower-class people.

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

Li Zhi leaned back in a bamboo chair, stroking his beard and chuckling.

The more I look at the principles of this world, the less I understand them.

Those Confucian scholars who shout about benevolence, righteousness, and morality all day long probably can't even see through the naked truth of the world.

I remember how many people cursed me when I wrote "The Six Classics are all Buddhist and demonic" in "Book Burning"!

However, this foreigner has fully demonstrated the darkest side of human nature!

Those words of saints who claim to save all living beings are nothing compared to naked interests!
It's ridiculous that those people are bound by ethics and morals all their lives and are always afraid to be good people.

In the end, there is no way to survive!
Everyone takes it as their responsibility to save the world, but who knows that everyone is drunk and I am the only one sober?

These capitalists don’t care about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues!
Forgetting one's principles for the sake of profit is the least of one's fault!
But such people can still rise rapidly to the top and become rich enough to rival a country!
Isn’t this the biggest irony?

It's a pity that people always like to wrap themselves in the sugar coating of morality, and call it the gentleman's demeanor.

Little do they know that it is precisely this kind of ignorance that gives those who know better an opportunity to take advantage!
[The so-called refrigerated ship can be called a major innovation of the United Fruit Company. ]

[In 1903, the United Fruit Company developed the world's first refrigerated ship, the Santa Claus, specifically for transporting bananas.]

[The ship is equipped with a refrigeration system that can keep the cargo hold temperature within the appropriate temperature range, allowing the bananas to remain fresh during long-distance transportation. ]

This innovation revolutionized the global fruit trade, allowing fragile tropical fruits to be transported to distant markets.

[The company subsequently built a vast fleet of refrigerated ships known as the Great White Fleet.]

[In addition, the United Fruit Company also has other "great achievements." ]

【Established the first private radio communications network in Central America.】

【A systematic tropical disease prevention and control system has been established.】

[However, behind these "brilliant achievements" are also shocking costs. ]

[Tens of thousands of workers died in poor working conditions while building railroads and cultivating plantations.]

[A large number of indigenous people were forcibly expelled and lost the land on which they had lived for generations. ]

[In order to suppress workers' resistance, the company organized bloody suppression many times, such as the banana workers' massacre in Colombia in 1928.]

【Corporate monopoly of the economy has caused many countries to become "banana republics" and lose their political and economic sovereignty. 】

[While the company has indeed made great contributions to technological innovation, these achievements are built on the basis of exploiting labor, destroying the environment, and manipulating politics.]

Barrage:

——"The wealth of the rich is actually the poverty!" ——"The tropical disease prevention and treatment they came up with is actually to let the workers live a few more days so that they can continue to work for them!"

——"How horrible! It's all made of human lives!
——"The 1928 massacre was written by Marquez in One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was so tragic."

——"How could United Fruit be evil in the past? Now they are using human blood to grow flowers, but in the past they used human blood to grow bananas. There is no comparison!"

——"As long as it is capitalism, it has to stand on the corpses of others."

……

Northern Song Dynasty plane.

That afternoon, Wang Anshi was checking private price records with Sima Guang in the archives of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Outside the window was a scene of late spring, and the cries of hawkers could be heard from the street.

"Zijun, look at the sky."

Wang Anshi pointed at the canopy above the two men's heads and said, "The methods these foreign merchants use to transport fruit are so cruel!"

Sima Guang put down the red brush in his hand, frowned and said: "It is common sense that merchants value profit. But such a lack of conscience is unheard of."

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

“I have said before that unrestrained business practices are more brutal than those bullies who prey on the people.

These people can even preserve fruits, but they regard the lives of laborers as worthless!"

Wang Anshi stood up and paced between the bookshelves filled with bamboo slips: "If we allow merchants to run rampant, how can the people make a living?"

"hehe."

Sima Guang put down the book and said, "Although you and I have many disagreements on the way to govern a country, we agree on this unscrupulous business practice."

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

The Cheng family, a wealthy Huizhou merchant family during the Ming Dynasty.

"The people who made indignant remarks on the sky curtain must be children from poor families, right?"

Cheng Guangyu was leaning on the most comfortable chair in the shop, leisurely watching the contents on the skylight.

Although most of the comments and comments on the Tianmu are condemning the company.

But Cheng Guangyu didn't think so.

On the contrary, I think what the United Fruit Company did is really great!

These foreigners really think more thoroughly than us!
The refrigerated ships, the private telegraph, and the hospital were all in the service of making money.

Invest a little, earn more, it's a natural business!

As for the dead workers?
Cheng Guangyu brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves and sneered.

What's the fuss about?

Didn't people often catch colds and die from illness in our own salt fields back then?
When doing business, isn't it common for a few people to die?
If we really care about humanitarian concerns one by one, should we still do this business?

Businessmen are not philanthropists!

Besides, do so-called philanthropists care about human lives?
Humph, these people are destined to suffer.

If we hadn't provided them with a way to survive, they would have starved to death long ago!
At least the United Fruit Company knew to build a hospital for its workers.

Cheng Guangyu waved his round fan and thought secretly in his mind.

This foreigner's behavior gave him a lot of inspiration.

They are controlling transportation, monopolizing operations, and bribing government officials, but it is not thorough enough.

It seems that we need to increase our efforts. It would be best to take over the canal transportation as well. Then, won’t those people in the canal gang be at our disposal?

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. How can one make a fortune without taking risks?

It's ridiculous that those scholars keep talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality all day long!

What's the use?
These things are better to be understood clearly, there is no need to speak them out loud.
