Chapter 5 Problems in the Construction Process (I)
Three months of construction have basically shaped this huge academy that can accommodate thousands of people. Although all kinds of crops suitable for the local climate were sown, and the continuous import of food from all over the country filled the gap before the harvest of high-yield crops, the shortage of manpower and the lack of production capacity have always restricted the expansion of the wealth of the Bei Li Ji named Chenji Firm through the group.
Li Ji repeatedly emphasized at the internal work conference that the Great Song Dynasty was a dynasty in which the Son of Heaven and scholars ruled the world together, and the degree of centralization was very, very high, and that the Song Dynasty had no civil officials or big businessmen who were confused by the phenomenon that the imperial court connected the nine clans.
"As long as we don't die, we will continue to compete with the existing vested interest groups for living space and resources, as the old saying goes, 'cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents', our enemy is not the emperor, not the prime minister, not a few two landlords, but the landlord class of the entire Great Song Empire." Li Ji took out the prepared plan and distributed it.
"There are many, many problems in the process of our construction, and I once said that what can be solved with money is not a problem, but there are many problems that cannot be solved with money. You see there are many, many problems in the material that we didn't think of before, and our strong production capacity has had obvious dumping consequences, leaving many blacksmiths and bricklayers in the radius of the sales network unemployed and bankrupt. This phenomenon is not experienced in the era in which we live, and the price of goods produced by advanced technology and efficient management is lower than the purchase price of their raw materials. The tide of layoffs from state-owned enterprises experienced by our fathers is also painful because of the loss of competitiveness to private enterprises, what can you do to resolve this contradiction, so that we can keep a low profile until next year's imperial examination? ”
"In order to accumulate strength in a low-key manner, we try not to attract the attention of the imperial court as much as possible, and it is not too much to do some projects to benefit the people and buy people's hearts. See that we have to pay such a big price? Wang Neng asked.
"Of course, as long as we survive this period and pass the exams to obtain political privileges, we don't have to work so hard, and the scholars are strong enough to give us the ability to reject any enemy thoughts. You must know that in this world, in addition to military power, the right to speak is political power supported by financial power, personnel power, cultural and religious power, and only when you get power can you have the opportunity to implement your will even if you encounter opposition in certain social relations. This is the most important element of our goal to achieve. All in all, a husband cannot be said to be without power. Li Ji explained.
"In addition to a large number of bankruptcy cases caused by our dumping, there is also a very serious phenomenon of external corners, and countless businesses and workshops poach people at high prices every day, resulting in a lot of passive salary increase pressure." Li Fei, who is in charge of the regular management of several factories under the group, complained.
"This must be inevitable, the boss doesn't want to get these talents equivalent to gold mines, but don't be afraid, I have long expected this, the workers in the production line of each of my factories only master one production process at most, unless there is a force to poach them all, it will not play any role. If you do that, you're going to increase their productivity by 5 to 10 percent, which won't pose any threat to us, but will help us expand the market. Do they improve the production process and introduce equipment without money? By the time they think they're going to get rich, our cheaper goods will hit their industry again, and all their hard work and investment will be wasted. Bankrupt all those who have acted and those who are not ready to act, and these people will eventually pay the price for their actions. Li Ji made a gesture of wiping his neck with disdain.
Wang Xinyu, who is in charge of the group's security forces, said: "Recently, we have screened almost all the young and middle-aged male surnames around us, and only found 300 people who met our requirements to study abroad, and only 318 of them were willing to sign long-term contracts with us. ”
"As the saying goes, a soldier is not too expensive, and if 300 people are armed to the teeth, they can easily defeat a rabble of ruffians, hooligans, thieves, robbers and other rabble. And we can't be too ostentatious, if there are too many paramilitary personnel out of production, it will attract the attention of the imperial court, these Zhuang Ding who are similar to the courtyard are absolutely impossible to be reminiscent of [***] armed forces, is it possible that the hundreds of hooligans watching the scene in the underworld will make the regular army nervous? As for how to avoid people's eyes in regular training, you don't need me to teach you, right? Okay, you are also a retired sergeant who has served in the military, and in the future, you will be the director of the military branch, didn't I give you all those books and materials on military theory? The training syllabus and the textbooks for those military specialties that will be opened in the future will be hard for you, and you will be the chief coach and commander of all the armed forces in our system in the future, please! Li Ji pointed out the important surnames that paralyzed the Song Empire's regulatory system and built his own guns, and picked up the financial statements.
"Liu Xin, your task as the treasurer is too heavy, in addition to the teaching tasks of those Jews in charge of the finance major, you also have to prepare the overall financial statements of the group every month, isn't it very difficult. I haven't slept well every day, and my eyes look like a panda. ”
"Jews are a business people, and 43 of the first 50 people trained are able to flexibly use double-entry bookkeeping, 18 are able to prepare standard modern financial statements, and the top three have passed the examination and are already receiving allowances for their work within the group. The main reason why I can't sleep is because we spend too much on free education for the children of our business partners and employees and academic allowances for internal employees. The group's financial accounts have been hovering on the verge of deficit, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time. ”
