Chapter 616 Structural Unemployment

Even though Nao Fujie is one of the people who do business, she is just a woman who does a small business. This is not worth mentioning at all if it is compared to the capital controlled and operated by Kishimoto Justice.

"Structural unemployment, how is the middle class structurally unemployed?" said Nao Fujie, who didn't understand the true meaning of the word in his mouth.

"How can you be obedient and listen to half a sentence. Didn't I say that someone will not be able to keep up with the rapid pace of the times, which means that he will lose his job in the future.

Once a person loses his job, it becomes difficult to re-employ. In order to survive, you have to do simple and repetitive tasks, which means that your income will shrink significantly.

This leads to another concept, fault tolerance. In the future, our society will be less and less tolerant of people. Kishimoto said seriously.

"I'm not afraid, I have you. Fujie Nao didn't have any sense of crisis in her heart, and said with a smile.

"The middle class will shrink in some developed countries, while it will grow in some developing countries.

For example, Chinese mainland, a developing country that vigorously develops infrastructure construction and actively attracts investment, has given tax exemptions and exemptions to foreign businessmen and foreign investment.

As for the goal, it is nothing more than to learn advanced technology and management experience, so that it can get out of the ranks of low-income countries and then be able to move up to the ranks of middle-income countries.

When you reach a middle-income country, there is another problem that arises to move towards a high-income country, and that is the middle-income trap.

After the development of Chinese mainland, it will inevitably reverse to low-income countries like it in the past by transferring certain technology and equipment for compensation, more mature management experience, using capital and other means, so as to obtain a lot of profits with its own scissors advantage and enhance its influence in the surrounding and international circles.

At present, Chinese mainland has low labor costs, low land costs, and low other resource-based costs...... The characteristics and advantages will inevitably snatch away some low-tech, labor-intensive industries in developed countries or regions.

Chinese mainland is also a country with a large population, which means that it is a huge consumer market. If you want Chinese mainland people to have strong spending power, then you must first let them get rid of poverty and become rich.

Only when they have money in their pockets can they dare to spend more. Otherwise, it's like Coca-Cola and Pepsi at the beginning.

In 1978, Chinese mainland reformed and opened up. The executives of Coca-Cola and Pepsi rejoiced, thinking that more than a billion Chinese would have endless money if they drank a bottle of Coke a day.

However, whether it was the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola or Pepsi, it was expensive for ordinary working-class mainlanders in China at that time.

At that time, when I heard that cans were for Japanese people, they could drink them casually, and there was no financial pressure or burden at all.

But they can't. Only at weddings, funerals, or Chinese New Year, can a table of eight or ten people share a 1.25-liter bottle of Pepsi or Coca-Cola. Or a 1.25-liter Sprite.

They generally drink a drink made of saccharin, etc., which weighs 200 grams or 250 grams in a plastic bag, and is called big ice. Otherwise, it's a miscellaneous local beverage brand.

Of course, compared with Pepsi or Coca-Cola, the taste is not good, and the disadvantages are obvious. If there is any advantage, it is cheap.

In the beverage market, Jianlibao in 1984 was a good time. To put it bluntly, it is a carbonated drink with an orange flavor, but it can advertise like magic water that can boost people's mental and physical strength.

In 1993, there was a truly great beverage brand in the Chinese mainland market, which almost killed both Coke heroes. Its taste is really different from the drinks that Chinese mainland people have drunk in the past.

That is the rapid rise of Rising Sun Rising Iced Tea (with patent rights, so that Master Kong and others cannot use the word iced tea, which is why there is the name of iced black tea, just like the brand JEEP, so that other car manufacturers and its same models can only be called SUVs) This is the rapid rise of a local Chinese brand.

It's a pity that its capital is small, and it will never be able to do a company with strong capital. In addition, a series of management problems exist in itself, resulting in the loss of a good situation.

Pepsi began to focus on the Chinese youth market, actively using their local popular stars to package and advertise, so as to beat Coca-Cola and sit on the top spot of carbonated drinks in China.

Then there was the long queue for hours at KFC's first store in Chinese mainland in 1987 to buy a burger, a Coke, and fried chicken.

It's not that Chinese mainland people have money, but they feel that it is good to eat and foreign. Even if college students in Chinese mainland were able to eat a KFC meal at this time in 2001, it would be very good, which was tantamount to eating a big meal.

It is especially popular among students and children. When you go to Chinese mainland, you will see parents reluctant to eat, sitting by and watching their children eat in large gulps.

Since 1978, after more than 20 years of development, Chinese mainland has made considerable progress. It was not Japan that suffered the first to suffer, but South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Geographically speaking, proximity has the advantage of proximity, and proximity also has disadvantages.

Even if a transportation cost is added, the whole cost will be lower, which will naturally be quite attractive to the factory owners, prompting them to relocate the processing plant from a place with high costs to a place with low costs to rebuild the factory. Kishimoto said eloquently.

He paused abruptly at this point, and then said thoughtfully: "Next year, that is, in 2002, the focus of our hard gold group will be on South Korea. ”

"You've just ransacked Argentina in South America. What, you're going to ransack Korea again?" said Nao Fujie casually.

"You can't be as straightforward as you say! Capital is a bloodthirsty beast by nature. It smells blood there, and when it has an opportunity, it pounces there. Kishimoto said calmly.

"Are you really going to make a move on South Korea next year?" said Nao Fujie in surprise.

"There is always a huge misunderstanding among you, first of all, there are problems in the host country itself, and it is only the outsiders who are given the opportunity to take advantage of it.

If you don't have much of a problem, you won't be attacked. The target of capital attack will not be the strong, but the weak.

For a long time, the international financial market has followed the law of the jungle principle. "Justice Kishimoto is a serious one.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, I know that people like you who have big capital will walk where there will be no grass. Fujie Nao listened more and more cloudy and misty.

"When you say that, we are like locusts. Kishimoto laughed.

"Isn't it?" asked Fujie rhetorically.

"It's not. Kishimoto replied categorically.
