Jagged Warlord

69. So-called advantages

Therefore, Li Mohan immediately ran away from the viewpoint of nationalism. When explaining the theory of nationalism, he raised questions, interacted with the audience, and asked the audience, what do you think caused the weakness of the Chinese state?

Discussions began in the audience. There were people with various thoughts and theories in the venue, and the answers were naturally varied.

At this time, Li Mohan began to lead the way. He said that there are several poisonous insects that plague China at present. The first big poisonous insects are the Western powers. They forced China to sign unequal treaties through brutal wars of aggression. One side controls and manipulates China, and ultimately obtains the greatest economic benefits from China.During their invasion of China, they murdered and set fire, robbed property, committed all kinds of crimes, and committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people.

The second big poisonous insect is the remnant of feudalism.Although we overthrew the feudal monarchy, the feudal consciousness, decadent traditions, and backward theories accumulated over thousands of years are still fettering the people's minds.Where is the performance?After the landlord has money, he does not invest in the industry, but buys more land, or it is used for personal enjoyment; the traditional thinking of the bank is conservative, and it is still at the stage of the bank and usury; To gain military power is not to encircle the country, but to first think of separatist rule and become the emperor of the land.

The third big poisonous insect is the comprador.They made money themselves, but sold the country and nation.The typical example is Sheng Xuanhuai.China is the largest producer of raw silk, and the pricing power is in the hands of foreigners, so Hu Xueyan bought a large number of raw silk, intending to take back the pricing power from foreigners. At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai joined forces with Xi Zhengfu, the largest comprador of HSBC in China, to break Hu Xueyan's capital chain , Hu Xueyan was forced to go bankrupt.

In the process of borrowing money to build the railway, Sheng Xuanhuai sold a lot of national interests, and used the name of "remuneration fee" to make a lot of money from it.From Guangxu 22 to 32, Sheng Xuanhuai built a total of more than 2200 kilometers of railways, namely Luhan, Shanghai-Nanjing, Bianluo, Zhengda, and Daoqing 5 railways.At that time, a total of 1065 million pounds of British gold was borrowed from foreign countries, and Sheng Xuanhuai received a 5% rebate from it, which was equivalent to 440 million taels of silver in China.

For another example, everyone knows Hanyeping Company, right?Because of Sheng Xuanhuai's incompetence, Hanyeping Company faced huge losses, so the Japanese tried to control Hanyeping Company in the name of borrowing money.The purpose of Japanese loans is so sinister, doesn't the shrewd Sheng Xuanhuai not understand?Of course he understands, but he actively thinks of ways and ideas for the Japanese side.His starting point is how to protect his huge family business from being confiscated by the revolutionaries. For this reason, he did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house and rely on foreigners to respect himself.Just last year, President Yuan Da had thought about nationalizing Han Yeping, but Sheng Xuanhuai firmly opposed it. He couldn't wait to send a secret message to the Japanese side, hoping to hand over Han Yeping to the Japanese side as soon as possible. Out of self-interest, Sheng Xuanhuai took it step by step. He fell into the trap of the Japanese and made Han Yeping fall into the Japanese debt and couldn't extricate himself.

People like Sheng Xuanhuai only see their immediate interests, but they don't realize that they are betraying their motherland.

Among the audience in the audience, there are students, small businessmen, and veterans. Foreigners are rampant in the land of China, landlords and usurers exploit the people, warlords separatist regimes, and compradors colluding with foreigners to crush Chinese businessmen. seen, even encountered.Therefore, they quickly gained a sense of identity and resonance from Li Mohan's speech.

Next, Li Mohan asked the audience, is there anyone celebrating their birthday today, some please come on stage, and when that person is on stage, Li Mohan asked the birthday star, is your family around? If you are in the audience, come up together, you sacrifice your family Everyone shares a family relationship, come to Shangqiu to support me Li Mohan, I am grateful, you are an amazing person; if the family is not in the audience, Li Mohan will say: You sacrifice the time to reunite with your family and come to support me Li Mohan, you are an amazing person people.Then, Li Mohan asked everyone at the venue to send him blessings and shouted happy birthday.Li Mohan took the lead, and was the first to take the lead to wish him good luck like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan.So the audience echoed together, creating a strong team atmosphere.

In the end, Li Mohan raised his arms and shouted, can we be looked down upon by Western powers? We cannot tolerate rich and heartless landlords, warlords, and compradors who harm the country and the people.

The audience shouted "No."

Li Mohan shouted again: We cannot give in to difficulties.

The audience chanted "Don't give in."

The stage and audience were high together, and Li Mohan's speech was a great success.

After the speech, Li Mohan found Mu Xiangyue's name in the list, and asked Qin Cheng to take Mu Xiangyue to the guardian envoy.

Mu Xiangyue was somewhat affected by the warm atmosphere just now, and he came to Li Mohan's office with a little excitement.Li Mohan personally made him a cup of tea, and then they sat down facing each other.

Li Mohan asked: "I heard that you visited Mr. Taylor?"

Mu Xiangyue nodded and replied, "Yes, managing a factory is indeed a profound science."

Li Mohan took out a thick book and handed it to Mu Xiangyue, and said, "This is the management system I plan to implement in the factory in the future, please help me to refer to it."

Mu Xiangyue took it with both hands, and immediately began to look through it.Seeing that he did not hesitate or resist, Li Mohan felt that Mu Xiangyue seemed to agree with him.

However, as Mu Xiangyue read more materials, his brows became more furrowed. After more than ten minutes, Mu Xiangyue's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and then he closed the materials heavily, and spoke seriously. Li Mohan said: "Sir, there is something wrong with your method, it is still very problematic."

Li Mohan was very surprised. These methods are the successful experience of some well-known large companies and large groups in later generations. Why did it become a problem for Mu Xiangyue? "Mr. Mu, tell me, what's the problem?"

Mu Xiangyue replied: "First of all, if you only work eight hours a day, it means that no one makes the best use of it."

Li Mohan was even more surprised. He asked: "You studied in the United States and visited American management masters. Don't you know that the United States implements an eight-hour work system?"

Mu Xiangyue asked rhetorically: "Can China compare with the United States at the moment? American factories have strong capital, advanced technology, and mechanized mass production can invisibly dilute costs. Chinese factories have no advantages in technology and capital, except relying on price Is there any better way than taking advantage of the advantage? To control the price, we must first control the cost of raw materials and labor. The United States has a large land and sparse population, so labor is expensive, while my country has a large population and manpower is far cheaper than the United States. That’s where our country’s strengths lie.”

Mu Xiangyue went further and said unceremoniously: "Of course, my lord, you are rich and powerful, and you have money to subsidize the factory. But, are you going to start industry to save the country, or are you trying to gain a good reputation for being charitable?"

Li Mohan was a little annoyed when he first heard this, but he thought that when the world generally implements high welfare benefits in later generations, domestic companies still try their best to suppress workers' wages and other benefits in order to reduce their own operating costs and enhance market competitiveness. What's more, the people of this period?The capital is not as strong as others, and the technology is not as advanced as others. Apart from controlling the cost of raw materials and labor, what else can be done?
