Australia is like a school, and all the people who come there, whether you are a blank sheet of paper or a black paper stained with ink, can give you a new life and find a role model to learn from.

Uncle Lao Gen, a farmer, learned a lot of things in Australia, in addition to the way of being an official, there are also values and the way of business.

Capital pays attention to the maximum benefit of the smallest investment, that is, it uses the least amount of money to invest to make the maximum money.

The number of refugees outside the Hong Kong port of entry has shown him a way to make money, as well as how to maximize the return on value with the smallest amount of capital.

The refugees need to work to earn a living, and he can provide such an opportunity for employment, although this is a bit of a squeeze of the surplus value of the refugees, but in another way, he is really helping the refugees.

And the refugees are very grateful to him, because because he helped him to have food for themselves. Thinking about it this way, Uncle Gen's heart is not so uncomfortable.

As a peasant, he actually didn't want to use this method to obtain wealth, which was no different from the landlord, but reality told him that he had to do it, and even if he didn't, someone else would do it.

Don't look at refugees as a big problem in the eyes of the Hong Kong government, but in the eyes of many capitalists, they are fragrant buns, even if they are not good, they are good at pulling them to Southeast Asia to open up wasteland and farm.

However, due to the domestic laws and the development of agriculture, capital is concentrated too much in the field of trade and industry, and there is no thought of pulling these people to farm, at most it is to get those young people to work in factories.

At present, Australia's factories do not need so many people, so more and more refugees can only be stranded outside the port, and every day they look forward to the Australian men in the Hong Kong port to come out and assign them jobs.

It was no secret that Uncle Lao Gen wanted to open a match factory, and he gave the idea to Governor Zhou Chengjian, saying that Governor Zhou was very supportive of him, and praised him for his quick brain and how to use the resources in his hands.

Australian law does not restrict officials from running businesses, but they must abide by the principle of fair competition and are not allowed to use their power for their own benefit.

Opening a match factory doesn't really require much capital investment. Uncle Lao Gen calculated that a manual matchstick sharpener imported raw materials from Australia, and then the workers were responsible for assembling and drying them, and then packaging and selling.

This process is very simple, now the matches sold in the market are about five cents a box, are shipped from Australia, if you can establish a match factory in Hong Kong, the price can be at least half of the price, that is, two cents and five pounds.

Cheap in price. It will also bring a surge in sales, and there will definitely be many people who will buy it at a good price.

So the market is absolutely not worried, the cost price of a box of matches is about one dime, in addition to these raw materials and labor costs, he can also win a profit of one dime two to one dime four, such a big profit is already quite good.

Don't look at the small profits, but if the sales are large, it will be very considerable.

Don't look at Uncle Gen, who didn't study economics seriously, but the experience of serving as the mayor of Panzhihua Town gave him a lot of inspiration. Some economic knowledge began to accumulate at that time.

With these experiences, Uncle Lao Gen, as the mayor of Hong Kong, is naturally thinking about how to improve Hong Kong's trade status and how to develop the local economy every day, and as for building a match factory, it is a trivial matter for him.

But the match factory also gave him an inspiration. The refugee economy is indeed an unusual path, and the competition for jobs in Hong Kong is very high, but the pace of construction has not stopped, and the city continues to expand. Some of the old immigrants no longer bother to do the dirty work.

Most of the jobs now are new immigrants who have to do this in order to make a living.

How to maximize the development of the refugee economy will help Hong Kong? Uncle Lao Gen thought for a long time before he realized that the refugees needed a chance to eat.

Small-scale artisanal workshops and outsourcing may blow up the surplus value of these refugees, while at the same time reducing costs for businesses.

At present, enterprises in Hong Kong mainly dye and make garments, and if enterprises can outsource part of the work, and then organize these refugees to work, the cost of enterprises will be relatively reduced.

Uncle Lao Gen wrote a report on his ideas and submitted them to local city officials in Hong Kong for discussion.

After some careful consideration, everyone feels that this can indeed reduce the cost of the enterprise a lot.

The most important thing is to solve the problem of refugees outside the port, and will not starve to death or loot because of lack of food.

They don't make trouble, they are peasants, and he believes in that very much.

So Uncle Gen is very confident in his plan, although there are some plots to squeeze them, but at least it also saves their lives from starvation.

Only by living can there be hope, and there is nothing without people.

Uncle Gen still hopes to help these refugees from the bottom of his heart, after all, they are all compatriots, and he will not feel good watching them starving, and when he sees someone starving to death, he will remember that he was hungry that year and could only eat tree bark.

Every time he thinks of this, Uncle Gen, who is in his fifties, bursts into tears. It's hard to calm down.

The proposal of surplus value also provided an idea for the capitalists in China, who originally only wanted to use the recruitment of refugees to provide cheap labor in the factories, but suddenly found another way to reduce costs, on the one hand, lamenting that Uncle Lao Gen's brain is good, and on the other hand, he is also lamenting his own pedancy.

Although the money for these refugees to immigrate to Australia needs to be paid in advance by the enterprise, which is a big cost, it will be paid off in full after at least three years, but it is a big problem for some enterprises with little liquidity.

Now that Uncle Lao Gen has proposed surplus value, then some of the processes of the enterprise can be completely outsourced, and these refugees can be organized to work, and then they can be purchased and sold. In contrast, the cost price not only reduces the money but also makes a lot of money.

With such an idea, some small and medium-sized enterprises began to act immediately, estimating their own costs and outsourceable processes for statistics, they decided to learn from Uncle Lao Gen, to maximize the use of surplus value, who said that the refugees are completely useless, this is a very large wealth, which can not only save the advance payment of immigrants, but also bring greater economic benefits to the enterprise.
