In front of the gate of the Ministry of Integrity, several officials from other departments who passed by on foot, after a slight glance at the building of the Ministry of Integrity, instinctively quickened their pace. Although a few of them can't be regarded as corrupt officials, none of them want to sit in the Ministry of Integrity for a while.

Even because of the Ministry of Integrity, there are not even many officials who dare to drive on this road. Two years ago, there was even a joke about an official who worked hard to save money to buy a car, and then ran to the Ministry of Integrity to take the initiative to report...

As I said earlier, no one wants to sit in the Ministry of Integrity for a while. Therefore, instead of being targeted by the people of the Ministry of Integrity and then secretly following behind to investigate, it is better to take the initiative to report it, so as not to be targeted afterwards.

However, it can be seen that the image of the Ministry of Integrity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has become the most feared department among the more than 10 departments of the Cabinet.

At this time, the Ministry of Integrity cannot be described as busy, but it must be about the same. This is not surprising, after all, there are so many officials in the country, and as the department that oversees these people, the daily work of the Ministry of Integrity is naturally very busy.

Just like now, the Ministry of Integrity has no less than a thousand cases to solve. If it weren't for the very high salaries of the Ministry of Integrity, I am afraid that the officials in the ministry would have learned from the workers who ran out to strike to demand higher wages―――――― with the acceleration of domestic industrialization, the number of workers has become more and more numerous, considering that the factories of this era may be more terrible than the sweatshops of later generations, the call for higher wages will naturally increase.

If it is abroad. Including countries like the United States, I am afraid that the government is responsible for the suppression, after all, it is still a relatively primitive capitalist society at this time. The government needs to consider more than just the interests of citizens. There is also the political stability and the interests of the capitalists―――――― the latter two are particularly important, and in just one year in 1919 alone, US President Wilson has already suppressed at least three riots, including the massive 'American Steelworkers' Strike', which was extremely large, with more than 300,000 people in more than 50 cities participating.

But at home, the situation is a little different.

Although China at this time was also a capitalist country. But compared with the naked kind of capitalism abroad, China is still deeply influenced by Confucianism, and instinctively has a trace of sympathy for the workers and peasants.

Nature. If there was chaos in China at this time, there would be no need to mention anything, but if there was a strong government on it, the situation would be somewhat different. Many decisions were clearly made in favour of the workers and peasants. And not the capitalists. In addition, the government has never tolerated some people who plan to fish in troubled waters and fan the flames...

At least China's domestic order is still much stronger than that abroad.

Even Yan Shao plans to introduce a constitution to enforce the treatment of workers, including daily working hours, etc...

Of course, all this will have to wait until the Nationalist government has gained a foothold in the new territory, otherwise it will mess up its own internal mess before it has gained a foothold. That's not something a smart person should do...

――――――――――――――――――――

In a room at the top of the Ministry of Integrity, I just hung up the phone. Song Jiaoren couldn't help but exhale softly.

Compared with that year, Song Jiaoren is obviously much older now, less than 40 years old, but his hair has turned gray.

Sitting in the position of the minister of clean government, Song Jiaoren can be said to be conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to be the slightest careless. After all, his enemies are different from others, his enemies are all some cunning guys―――――― there is no doubt that it is almost impossible to expect those corrupt officials to be as stupid as in the TV series, so Song Jiaoren can only fight with them. And sometimes even some people who have a slight friendship will become his opponents. After all, he is in this position, and he is really harming the interests of too many people...

Having said that, Song Jiaoren has never regretted it.

After hanging up the phone, Song Jiaoren returned to his seat, and then leaned lightly on the backrest, and the originally tense expression on his face relaxed slightly.

"I'm finally back, so I guess those guys can be quieter..."

Song Jiaoren was talking about domestic affairs, when Yan Shao left at the beginning, there would naturally be no problems in the country, after all, Yan Shao's prestige in the country over the years was too high, and his prestige was very deep, even if he had left, no one dared to make a mistake at all.

But after he had been gone for a long time, things were a little different.

In the past, the Kuomintang was dominated by one party, and other parties in the country, including the Kuomintang led by Soong Jiaoren, could only be said to be struggling to survive, trembling under the presence of the Kuomintang Socialist Party. In such a situation, it is natural that many people in China will be deeply dissatisfied.

What's more, in addition to these, there are also commercial interests...

For example, the exemption of agricultural taxes, or the abolition of the 'package tax' system, is actually not a matter at all now. After all, China has gradually shaken off the old economic system and accelerated its industrialization. Coupled with the stimulus of the European war some time ago, basically as long as you are willing to invest money in industry and commerce, there will rarely be a loss of money.

In addition, over the years, Yushi Bank has been providing loans to help domestic industrialists who are willing to set up businesses to provide start-up funds. As a result, there are still a few people who will miss the old thing.

As for tax packages or something, compared with setting up factories and exporting products to foreign countries, it is obviously only a small fight that cannot be seen.

What really displeased them economically is the status of Yushi Group in China.

Although nowadays Rainstone Bank is rarely involved in light industry or livelihood related projects, but only focuses on automobiles, airplanes, shipbuilding, steel, machinery manufacturing, munitions and others, such as sports goods, luxury goods, or civilian products such as Coca-Cola and Gillette. Or the lucrative financial industry.

However, the huge profits in the automobile industry and other industries have made many people jealous.

It's like an airplane, during the European War. The Allied Powers had signed an agreement with the Rainstone Group for the Commune government to provide the 'Shooting Coordinator' technology. The Entente countries, on the other hand, were responsible for importing a certain number of fighter jets from the Rainstone Bank every year, and the Allies had to provide a certain amount of patent fees to the Rainstone Group for each fighter they produced.

To be honest, the profits brought by airplanes during this period cannot be compared with those of the automobile industry. That's right, the price of an airplane is indeed as high as tens of thousands of silver dollars. And a car is only one or two thousand at most, but it can't hold a lot...

In terms of automobiles, Yushi Group's car sales have already exceeded one million. If you include Ford, Rolls-Royce, etc., which have now become a subsidiary of Yushi Group. More than 95% of the world's cars are sold by Yushi Group―――――― of course, this does not mean that after Yushi Group acquired other car brands, no new brands were born. Merely...

In the face of Yushi Group's current dominance in the automotive industry. Those nascent car-related companies simply can't take on the challenge, and over time, those people will despair. It's not just these people who are in despair, but governments as well...

It's not that no one is disgusted by the fact that their country's auto market is occupied by cars from other countries, it's just that after Yushi Group has unified the global auto market, it has been difficult for them to find countermeasures. It's not that there is no way to counteract, such as banning imports. Or it is to raise tariffs and so on, or even anti-monopoly and other measures. Actually, you can take it out. The question is, even if the access of the Yushi Group is restricted, where will they find the car companies that can fill this gap? You must know that now Yushi Group can have acquired all the slightly larger car companies in the world, and what remains is either not large-scale, or similar to a handicraft workshop. After all, they can't make their own country even drive a car in order to restrict the Yushi Group, right? In the end, they can only let the development of Yushi Group go.

And this has also become another measure for Yushi Group to avoid being blocked in addition to parts orders.

Nowadays, the Yushi Group has basically monopolized the market for cars, trucks and even tractors, and even includes some construction vehicles and military vehicles―――――― at least more than 95% of the military vehicles used by the Allies are provided by the Yushi Group, and even if it is the 5%, a considerable part of them have been stored before the war...

As a result, Yushi Group not only brought a large amount of financial revenue to the State Council, but also brought huge profits to Yan Shao. The reason why Yan Shao dared to tear down the Empire State Building and rebuild it is also here, after all, after monopolizing the global automobile market, Yan Shao's income has already exceeded the figure of 100 million pounds.

And this is also the most eye-catching for others.

Nothing can be kept secret forever, and of course Yan Shao's income is the same. Especially in the process of the 'westward expansion strategy', Yan Shao casually donated 100 million pounds. In addition, Yushi Group has almost never evaded taxes, and it is easy for the outside world to calculate the income of Yushi Group...

Originally, when Yan Shao was involved in the automobile industry, China did not even have a self-made car, let alone a car brand. But now, with the gradual development of industry, many people who are jealous of this huge profit want to go in and make a fortune together.

At this time, Yushi Group, which has almost monopolized the global automobile market, has become a stumbling block between everyone...

――――――――――――――――――――

In the face of the booming Yushi Group, perhaps in other industries, Yushi Group still has many competitors, but in the automobile industry, he does not have even one competitor.

This is not only because of Yan Shao's monopoly on the assembly line patent, but also because of the monopoly position of Yushi Group in the world. It can be said that unless Yan Shao dies himself, even if Yan Shao opens the patent for the assembly line, I am afraid that Yushi Group will not find even a competitor in the world...

For no other reason, the difference in the level between each other is too great.

Of course, if a company completely monopolizes an industry, it is easy to affect the development of the industry. After all, if there is no competition. It's easy for the industry to lose track of progress, as you can see from the history of Ford.

Historically, Ford has held a position similar to that of the Rainstone Group.

But in the end. Ford was defeated by another car company because Ford was arrogant and unenterprising, believing that his Model T was enough to meet the needs of its customers, and did not even think about developing new vehicles.

Finally, more than a decade after the T-shaped car was put on the market. He was overtaken by another brand of car.

Of course, this is nothing, at most a brand that does not want to make progress has been replaced by another brand. But now the situation of Yushi Group is much stricter. After all, the former is a brand that replaces another backward brand, but if the current Yushi Group is not enterprising, I am afraid...

I am afraid that it will even affect the global progress of automotive technology, after all, after monopolizing the global automotive market. Today's Yushi Group no longer has any foreign competitors. There are no external threats, and if we don't want to make progress, I'm afraid that the world's automotive technology will be affected.

In this regard, Yan Shao may not have paid much attention to it at the beginning, but after a long time, he also reacted.

It's just that at the beginning, he was only thinking about how to consolidate the position of Yushi Group in the automobile industry, but he didn't think about anything else. Until now. I can only think of some measures to remedy the automobile, and one of the measures is to adopt a competition mechanism.

Thankfully. Although Yushi Group has a monopoly on global automobiles, this brand does not. The companies that were acquired basically continued to produce and design cars under the original brand, and after having the assembly line technology that Yan Shao had opened, these companies were in a better situation than before―――――― although now even if their situation improves, the money they make is all for Yan Shao...

And the survival of these companies is to ensure the internal competition of Yushi Group.

In order to ensure competition within the group, Yan Shao deliberately set up a new competition mechanism for these companies. This competition mechanism is very simple, that is, the annual profit can reach the top five automobile companies, and a part of the company's income will be distributed to all employees of the automobile company.

Naturally, there is always some difference from first place to fifth place, so the first place is 10%, the second place is 8%, the third place is 6%, the fourth place is 4%, and the fifth place is 2%

The reason why we want to list the top five, not the first one, is because at this time the rain stone group maintains its own hegemony, if it is only the first, good doubt, the rain stone group will not have any opponents, in this way, it is meaningless to set up this competition mechanism, on the other hand, now the rain stone group is afraid that there are thirty-four car brands in the hands of so many, if you list the top five, it seems to be much simpler.

After all, even if you don't have the first place, the rest can continue to compete for the next four...

The reason why it is distributed to all employees, rather than managers, is to inspire everyone to be aggressive. After all, there will always be some contact between managers, in case there is some collusion between each other...

Yes, this is indeed a business field, but after the entire automobile market has become Yushi Group's own game, it is difficult to say...

As for not using sales, but speaking with profits...

If it is sales, simply reduce the price, so that it is easy to make a beautiful sales, but I am afraid that the profit is a little ugly. On the other hand, making a profit is not so easy to cheat...

I have to say that the effect of this competition mechanism is still relatively good. Therefore, at least at this stage, this competition has kept the progress of automotive technology in a virtuous circle. Similarly, after losing the biggest trump card assembly line technology, Yushi Automobile Company had to grit its teeth in order to avoid being surpassed by those companies behind...

As for the rest of the companies...

Although when looking at the market share of Yushi Group, most people are a little arrogant. But thinking about the shame of being suppressed by Yushi back then, now that I finally have a chance to compete fairly, how many people don't want to be ashamed?

Seriously, the reason why they failed in the first place was not entirely because they were inferior to Yan Shao. More precisely, because of the concept, after all, what people needed most at that time was a cheap and easy-to-use car, not the kind of luxury that cost one or two thousand dollars or even three or four thousand dollars a piece, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

At that time, there were only two people who had this concept, Yan Shao and Ford.

However, then Yan Shao used the technology of assembly line to defeat Ford lightly.

With such a technology, Yan Shao can produce those cars in a shorter time and at a lower cost, so as to occupy the market and make it impossible for other car companies to compete with him.

But what if those car companies had similar technology? Would the situation be a little different???

No one knows about this, but it's clear that the car companies are eager to see if they can do so...

Therefore, after also having the new technology, although it is only the competition after the second place for the time being, in fact, the hearts of those competitors are not without pulling down the first place that seems to be forever... (To be continued......)
