Chapter 302: The Problem of Insufficient Domestic Demand
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]
In 1980, Jilin Jiangbei Machinery Factory relied on the military industry to optimize automobile engines and motorcycle projects.
Because their military products were in good condition at that time, they couldn't let it hold two golden dolls at the same time, so their superiors asked them to transfer the motorcycle project to Jialing for production.
At the end of the year before last, in accordance with the unified deployment of the General Army, Jiangbei Machinery Factory switched to Alto. To say that the planning idea of the General Military Department is naturally very beautiful, Chongqing Chang'an, Jilin Jiangbei, Xiangtan Jiangnan, Xi'an Qinchuan and other four Alto unified assembly of a model, Chang'an unified supply of covering parts, parts and components in the system unified matching, can quickly form a large number of batches, the overall solution to the general system of military to civilian problem.
However, the market does not follow people's plans, inbreeding of parts and components, it is difficult to ensure eugenics, and Chang'an has three more competitors for no reason, and his heart is naturally unhappy.
Due to the large supply radius, the cost of a single unit cannot be reduced, and Jiangbei loses 10,000 yuan for every car built.
Xi'an Alto later changed to the production of Flair, and after a small fire, it was transferred to the battery king BYD, and the production of electric vehicles was changed.
Both the north and the south Alto are dying. By 1999, the General Army of the Army was divided into two major groups, north and south, and Alto in Jiangbei was completely discontinued, and the cumulative output in seven years was only 5,000 vehicles.
Although Jiangbei Machinery Factory has been building cars for 20 years, not only has it not made any money, but it is heavily in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy, so that in order to pay wages, the best stamping equipment is sold at a low price.
Later, Chang'an Alto was still selling, Jiangnan Alto was dying, Jiangbei Alto became an elf, Xi'an Qinchuan Alto was transformed into BYD Fleyer, and finally it was Alto with the Suzuki car logo.
From this example, Fan Wuzhi can also see a point, the domestic state-owned automobile industry is not a simple technical problem, but mainly the policy inflexibility restricts their development, and for the joint venture, it is restricted by the joint venture party, and can not get the relevant technology, as for the private automobile enterprises although the policy is flexible, there is also the willingness to develop the national automobile industry, but unfortunately their capital chain can not ensure long-term investment in technology research and development, which is a big problem.
In addition, private automobile companies have actually been affected by the psychological influence of discrimination due to traditional thinking.
If the state had given more support to private automobile enterprises, the domestic automobile industry would have developed long ago.
Therefore, now Fan Wuxian is full of confidence that he wants to build a high-end car and an entry-level sedan at the same time, anyway, for himself, from the high-level to the province and then to the local level, he is optimistic, after all, there is a living example of a rock put there.
However, some reporters have some different opinions on the decision of Fan's Investment Group to enter the automobile industry, believing that domestic domestic demand is not enough to support so many automobile industries, and the establishment of automobile industries in various places is actually taking a path of waste of resources and vicious competition.
In response to this question, Fan replied,
"Our lack of domestic demand is mainly due to the lack of a strong middle class to stimulate domestic demand, where does our wealth go? If we look at the gap between Latin America and the United States, we will understand how our situation of insufficient domestic demand today has come into being. (All overdrive updates:\. SOSO999\.COM) Latin America's poverty lies in the fact that it has not formed a good system for wealth regeneration, so it lacks a sustainable capacity for wealth accumulation. Seeing that everyone was confused after hearing this, Fan Wuxian continued,
"Let me give you two examples. Suppose a gold mine is discovered in a place, and a man invests in a mine, hires 100 workers to pan for gold for him, and makes a profit of 10 million a year, and the mine owner pays 50 percent of it as a worker's salary, and each worker earns 50,000 yuan a year, and they take 10,000 yuan to rent a house, and the remaining 40,000 yuan can get married, have children, and start a family, and the mine owner still has 5 million in his hand, which can be used as an investment. Because the workers have money in their hands and want to settle down, there is a demand for houses. So the mine owner used the money in his hand to build a house, rent it to the workers, or sell it to the workers. The workers want to eat and drink, so they open restaurants and earn back the land money in the hands of the workers. () To open a restaurant, you have to hire other workers, so the worker's wife has employment opportunities and income. A family's consumption demand is even greater. In this way, a few years later, a hundred families appeared in this place. Children want to study, there is a need for education, so people come to run schools, workers want to date, they want to consume, they want to do other things, so there are movie theaters, there are shops, so that after 50 years, when the mines in this place are almost dug up, it has become a prosperous city of about 100,000 people. Everyone listened with relish, and when Fan Wuxian saw that he had succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, he continued to preach,
"On the other hand, suppose that the same gold mines are discovered, and the same people come to invest in the mining, and the same hundred workers are employed, and the same profit of 1,000 per year is paid by the mine owner to pay 10 percent of them as wages, 10,000 per worker. This money is only enough for them to barely fill their stomachs, and they have no money to rent a house, no money to ask for a wife, so they can only live in a shack. The mine owner makes nine million a year, but looking at the poor people, there is no need to reinvest anything locally. So, he transferred the money abroad, because it was not safe at all in the local area, he built a few luxury villas, hired a few workers as bodyguards, the workers had no future, except for working hard to make ends meet, there was no other need at all. The only thing that may be a drama is to find a way to trick a wife, give birth to a beautiful daughter, and maybe marry a mine owner as a wife. Fifty years later, there is still no property in this place except for luxury villas. When the mine is finished, the mine owner leaves with a huge amount of money, and the workers are either exiled, or the men are thieves and the women are prostitutes. As soon as they heard what Fan Wuxian said, they immediately had some associations, and after contacting the joint venture phenomenon in some parts of the country, they had some feelings, and they couldn't help but feel some admiration for Fan Wuxi's advanced thinking.
Although these two examples are very simple, the truth contained in them is very profound, and the guiding significance for reality is also very strong, which can be described as concise, showing two different development paths in the development of various countries.
Seeing that everyone was a little thoughtful, Fan Wuxi continued,
"These two very simple examples are actually the different development trajectories of Latin America and the United States. Perhaps today Americans should be grateful to Washington for creating the most modern and scientific political system for the United States. Ford, who single-handedly created America's middle class. Latin American countries, on the other hand, are not so lucky, their great dictators have created predatory economic systems, and have frantically carved up the wealth of society in a bold and powerful manner, so that the entire economy is prostrated, and it is no longer able to develop. Immediately, there were objections to Fan's statement,
"Mr. Fan, please pay attention to your words. The most modern and scientific political system is not necessarily what the United States has, and our political system has more advantages! Fan Wuxian smiled and replied apologetically,
"Well, I lost my word. I just look at the problem from the perspective of economic development, and the living standards of Americans and the overall strength of the country are obviously better than those of us now. However, judging from the development momentum of our country, surpassing them is just around the corner. At this moment, those who opposed nodded and let Fan Wuxian go.
Fan Wuxian shook his head, and said in his heart This is the difference of the times, the issues that can be talked about freely in ten years, if you want to say it now, it will attract criticism from many people.
He paused, then added,
"Here we need to mention Henryt again. Among all the business figures in ancient and modern China and abroad, Henrytt's impact on the social economy is unparalleled. It was he who single-handedly created the original middle class with his Model T and introduced American society to the modern era for the first time, and Europe was decades later than the United States in this regard. Henritter said he wanted his workers to be able to afford my Model T, so he paid them high wages and created an assembly line production method that made the car more expensive. As a result, Ford became the largest automobile company, so that workers with money could buy cars, buy houses, and do other things, and the middle class was born. As a result, after the completion of the western expansion, the United States, which has no room for maneuver in its territory, has discovered another gold mine, and the rapidly growing middle class has driven huge demand, supported the huge domestic market, and continued to drive rapid economic growth, which is the domestic demand of the Americans. ”
"The United States has always been a country that relies on domestic demand to achieve economic growth, while China has a population of more than one billion and has to rely on foreign trade to drive economic growth, but we are not a country of projectiles, Japan, and we can make a lot of money just by relying on an export-oriented economy. With more than one billion people, who can feed China? No one can do it but ourselves. Fan Wuxian said,
"In a gradual way, China is completing its own primitive accumulation of capital. Leaving aside any power-for-money transactions, loopholes in the system, and unearned gains, no country's primitive capital accumulation is clean. But the key is, after the accumulation is completed, what should we do, and continue to allow the rich and the poor to divide and develop? Or should we create our own modern society, so that the majority of Chinese people can enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up? When Fan Wuxian finished speaking, the entire press conference was silent, except for the sound of some stenographers writing on paper.
