Chapter 154: Coolidge's Visit to Germany
The first batch of products have been warmly welcomed and sought after by the majority of domestic consumers, and these foods with novel taste, easy to preserve, and extremely exquisite packaging have become hot and sought-after commodities for a while, and they are in short supply. This cannon undoubtedly hit very loudly, and it also made people in the industry taste the sweetness, expand production one after another, and cast their eyes overseas. The result was beyond Eric's imagination, and he was originally going to guide the market for consumption, but he did not expect the market to be so vast, which made him overjoyed, so he focused on the fruit processing industry.
Batches of beautifully packaged food and canned food were loaded onto the giant ship. As it was transported around the world from Wilhelmshaven and Kiel Harbour, Eric was in a good mood. This has significantly reduced the problem of food waste and unsalable fruits, and has also increased the growth rate of Germany's foreign exchange revenue by several percentage points.
Since the beginning of the new regime, the German Confederation has never exported a grain of grain for the long-term stability of the country, and even when there is a surplus of food, it has only tried to save for national defense, but even when grain production has risen sharply, it has never stopped importing grain, but these imported grain have gone around in a circle in the German processing enterprises, and then put on a colorful coat and return to those grain exporting countries along the path from which they came. Such a simple back and forth, but its significance is very far-reaching, and it also gives a new connotation to rough grain.
At the beginning, as long as it was a way to make money, the whole country rushed to the top, and even recklessly blindly developed, resulting in a serious imbalance in the industry, although some industries have been very crowded, but they are still in full swing, and some industries are still in full swing although the market is falling, but it is also a cold fire, no one cares, and it has virtually created a bubble for the economy of developing countries.
With the help of his experience in solving the problem of grain surplus processing, Eric began to deal with the problem of overproduction of steel and coal.
Due to the impact of the "Lorraine Incident" in France, the country once relaxed the restriction of mining in the disputed area, and a large number of cluster mineral development led to a blowout growth of domestic coal and iron ore. In addition to oil, coal and iron resources set a new storage record to make Eric from happy to worried, like food, once these non-renewable energy sources are wasted, it is a sinner for the ages, especially in Germany, which is not rich in geological and mineral resources, if it doesn't even care about the only remaining coal and iron ore, it will be deserved to have a 'less to use' in the future.
On the hill opposite the Frankfurt tank training base, Eric, who was sweating profusely and panting and climbed the mountain, promised Dinah that he would dam the upper reaches of the Rhine and Main rivers to generate hydropower to solve the dilemma of the shortage of domestic power resources.
Eric also seems to have found an ideal way out of how to use so much of the country's surplus raw materials, as reminded Fritz Haber, head of the Federal National Energy Center, of the experience of improving the conversion of Eric Group's coal into kerosene.
At this time, as the country was still in a state of full infrastructure, except for some liquefaction storage, the excess coal was supplied to synthesis plants and combustion power generation. As a result of these items, the resources of excess capacity have been effectively utilized, and the backlog problem has also been alleviated. In line with the advantages of domestic inventions and creations, the carbon slag after combustion has also been efficiently utilized, such as the sculpture filling and weight reduction load engineering in the scenic spots, etc., and then, the rough particles after screening and filtration can also pave the pavement of the highway, taking the construction of the highway as an example, the cement blanket can speed up the laying progress, and the pavement is very hard, and the compressive capacity is better than the ordinary cement pavement structure, more tough, and more durable.
The policy of the German Confederation to develop the national economy lagged behind, and small industrial enterprises in the country sprung up, and with the continuous improvement of the development situation, many small workshops began to purchase advanced production equipment through the accumulation of capital, and gradually liberated themselves from labor-intensive industries. After the realization of mechanized production, the production capacity of the enterprise has been greatly improved, and the unreasonable labor expenditure has also been reduced, but it is precisely because the machine has robbed the job of manpower that another irreconcilable contradiction has been formed in the society.
On the one hand, large-scale mechanized production brings considerable economic benefits to enterprises, and on the other hand, science and technology bring employment difficulties to surplus labor; Eric was momentarily helpless.
The labor management department has not yet slowed down the leapfrog development of society, and there are not many ways to do it, and Eric knows very well that if he does not immediately start to solve the contradiction from the social security system, this contradiction brought about by social progress will become more and more acute, and even become a stumbling block to the realization of the German Confederation to achieve a rich people and a strong country. But. First of all, we must admit that this is an inevitable contradiction under the conditions of scientific and technological development, and to solve a problem, in addition to the country's existing labor security system, we must also rely on the potential of society itself to support the country's labor security system. One of the core is the link and extension of compulsory education and adult education, through re-learning, the surplus labor force is easier to find employment opportunities with the help of the state or the emerging industry projects provided by the state, and has the opportunity to enter the unknown territory and open up new ideas for development and wealth. These aspects are already the strength of the Germans, because they are not lacking in the ability to spot and seize opportunities.
Although domestic employment is very difficult and the labor surplus is increasing, the government still encourages capable enterprises to bravely go abroad and continue to explore foreign markets. To a large extent, the surplus labor force after adult re-education can take on the technical backbone of multinational enterprises and even enter the senior management of enterprises. In this way, it not only solves the problem of domestic employment, but also allows the outflow of talents to be absorbed by domestic enterprises, so as not to cause a large loss of talents.
Although this series of measures has produced some results, the results are not satisfactory, and the loss of talent is inevitable. Eric has always tried his best to avoid this, but Germany's territory is not as vast as the world's powers, and it can only be so much at its best. Although he relied on the powerful Eric group to negotiate with domestic capitalists to solve some of the labor problems, he could not force these entrepreneurs to pay for nothing and return to the labor-intensive era and give up the choice of more affordable machinery and equipment. He can't do it, and other capitalists can't do it.
Fortunately, there is an old proverb: bees steal flowers, but the result is to make the flowers bloom more luxuriantly. The talent that has been lost abroad has brought their own technology to the rest of the world, but at the same time brought more development opportunities back to Germany.
U.S. Vice President Coolidge said on another visit to Germany; Looking at the world, the unemployment rate in Germany is already far lower than that of other large countries, and the speed and results of economic development have begun to exceed those of Britain, the United States, France and other countries.
