19.3 Skilled Workers

October 544 in the Apocalypse calendar.

Outside the military base No. 38 in the al-Sisi area, a small industrial town. In the main control program room in the center of town, twenty-two-year-old Casting Hedge holds his mechanical box and checks the operating procedures on the screen on the ground. On his desk was a thick stack of programming books. These brain-consuming tasks make him feel a little itchy at the root of his hair.

After graduating from the Hanshui Group's Basic Industrial Technology School in March this year, Zhu Li was almost unemployed after eight years of study at the affiliated industrial school under the stars. But very surprisingly, he saw that the northern military was going to build factories and recruit a group of mechanics, and after graduation, he rushed over.

……

The school that Casting Fence attended, which is equivalent to a technical college on Earth, was not born in a formal class, and this kind of technical college has a low threshold for enrollment and low requirements for professional magic.

Twenty years ago, it was still very prosperous, but now judging from the situation of the same class such as Casting Fence, these students who are not from prestigious schools are facing a severe employment crisis.

The reason is simple, since the upper oligarchs draw money from socio-economic activities, this part of the money is not used in the real wealth cake, but in the financial game.

In order to pursue profits, everyone does not look at the direction of capital investment in industry, but only looks at interest rates and returns. In the process of subprime loans, money becomes an ever-increasing amount of bonds, but not enough to bind real wealth. Then bubbles will be created.

Before the bubble burst, the rule set by the financial oligarchy was that the money with the bubble could be exchanged for the fruits of people's labor. That will cause the whole society's funds to begin to bubble up like crazy, after all, no one is a fool, and no one wants to suffer.

Money is justified by the ability to allocate the resources needed for production – that's what money is supposed to do.

The currency does not carry out normal social management work. - They were siphoned off by the Chikawa oligarchs and used to fight for the means of production. Many large-scale high-quality assets are equivalent to regular meal tickets, and for oligarchs, it is absolutely profitable to raise enough funds in the short term to make explosive acquisitions, and slowly increase prices in the long term to recover costs.

[Now under the free economy, the only thing that the Qianchuan oligarchs can't freely acquire is the high-quality assets of the military, and people have guns. 】

But the society is very large and complex, and the Qianchuan military cannot manage so many people, so the industrial economy they control is only a small part, and most of the social and economic activities are still managed by oligarchs.

Therefore, if they control the economic flow of thousands of rivers, it will lead to the contraction of the industrial cycle.

The shrinkage of industry has led to the lack of jobs for most of the industrial producers in Qianchuan,—— and Cast Fence is such an invisible victim.

He's not a high-powered maker.

High-ability makers make up 10 percent of society. According to the principle of asset valuation, a high-capacity maker is a high-quality asset. Naturally, in various acquisitions, people who will not lay off employees.

As the third child of a traffic driver family, Zhu Li's own legal lineage is second-class, and he is unemployed when he goes out after learning industrial technology. If nothing else, he will end up in the slums of the city, fending for himself by doing odd jobs. Wait until the economic bubble bursts. Then, in the economic recovery, we will realize the Qianchuan dream of a poor boy who will eventually get rich through hard work and opportunities.

However, the social business group shattered the ups and downs of his life that he 'may' have. A job recruitment brought him from the future stormy life.

The cooperation between the Social Investigation Department and the No. 38 Military Base, using the Agri-Industrial Foundation to obtain "financial support" from all walks of life, opened a series of industrial parks, and at once recruited a large number of workers in intermediate and primary industrial positions, and it is said that more will be recruited in the future.

There are not a few people who have been changed in their lives like this.

……

Now the fence is a solar molten salt power tower, hundreds of thousands of mirrors, under the control of the intelligent system, focusing on the tower in the center of the mirror to generate electricity. Of course, there are more than one mirror unit, and according to the failure rate of one in 1,000 per month, several mirror systems fail every day.

And these failures need to be dispatched manually.

After coming out of the control room, Cast Fence beckoned the maintenance personnel of his team, carried the equipment box, and began to go to the huge experimental site to repair the four faulty units.

At the scene of the failure, in front of several newcomers who had just joined the company this month, they first opened the outdoor electronic control chassis of the battery board according to the process.

At this time, he paused, did not take the electrician meter of the newcomer next to him, but lit up his fingers, and first checked it with his unskilled current measurement technique.

Then, he nodded, determined the principle of the failure, and then took the electric pen in the admiring gaze of the newcomer on the side.

If his unskilled surveying skills were to be seen by the craftsmen of the big factories, they would surely sneer at them. But now, in front of this group of ordinary trainers who don't even know how to measure, in order to show his professionalism, he must show off his industrial spells.

After receiving the admiration of the newcomers, the casting fence proudly taught the essence of the work here.

[People are social animals, after solving the problem of food and clothing, they need to rank seniority in their own group, and the way and habit of seniority is a kind of culture]

Cast Fence looked up at the hot molten salt tower guarded by the mirrored circle. The light is concentrated on the top of the tower, making the whole tower like an extremely hot light.

He rubbed his head and seemed to comment: "It is very labor-intensive to build this kind of power station. ”

The federation has a large number of nuclear power plants as well as geothermal power plants, and electricity is very cheap. Solar molten salt tower power plants, according to the current manpower consumption, the cost of power generation is about four times that of these power stations.

Cast Fence shook his head - cut the power station and use a more cost-efficient mode of power generation, well, he didn't want to lose his job.

……

The hedge is inspecting the mirror rotation system.

Blazing White is looking at the data sent by the Department of Socio-Economic Surveys.

So far, the whole group has started to gradually involve the primary manufacturing industry, and the overall economic data is good. -- A large amount of electricity began to be self-sufficient, which is a very important foundation for the manufacturing industry.

According to the rules of a large group operation, a large number of upstream raw material industries must be mastered from multiple sources to strengthen control.

Electricity, steel, cement, these are the bases for their own expansion of the industry, if they simply rely on buying, the relevant market price of Sisi will swell countless times.

It is said that now Chibai has offended the local forces represented by the local council, and now the industry is such a large amount of fat, all parties are staring at the forced acquisition, and do not want this industry to fall into the hands of the Qianchuan military.

So there is a chance to card the raw material, and that is definitely carded. The Taishou of Handin City is eager to create a situation where the blazing white capital chain is broken today.

After engaging in the three generations of industry and commerce, he never believed that there was absolute market regulation - the ideal business situation of "local consortia would bid for each other for business and sell things to themselves at low prices" was impossible.

You must know that local consortia have cooperated with each other for hundreds of years, and families have been married for dozens of generations. An unruly outsider forcibly intervened in the local economic circle they dominated, and now it is simply exclusion.

Now these local families are cooperating with the Ministry of Social and Commercial Affairs, just because they can't bring down the incandescant for the time being, and if they can do it, they will inevitably rise up in groups.

Therefore, although the cost of molten salt power generation is 1.5 times higher than that of the federal power generation, it must be carried out in order not to be controlled by others in coal mine materials and power energy.

……

Yes, the cost of power generation is only 1.5 times, because the cost of labor is not as high as these junior workers think.

Because the wages of the blazing white hair are low. The average wage is basically one-third, or even one-quarter, of the same type of work in other regions.

In the case of low wages, they bypassed the market and created a high-welfare system.

This kind of high welfare is not a general watering society, but after strict calculation, the higher the technical position, the higher the related benefits, and it is detailed to each post.

So that every industrial job can guarantee the quality of life at a low wage,

Food: There is a canteen system, in addition to annual subsidies for grain, meat and oil.

Medical: there are drug subsidies and medical subsidies.

Education: From kindergarten to school before the age of 11, teachers are hired to teach.

Housing: There are dormitories in each factory area, and the housing rental planned next to the factory area is subsidized.

These services, if passed through the market and then converted into the purchase price of each resident, would be about eighty percent of the wages of the same type of work, and if someone had a serious illness, the welfare system would contribute much more than eleven times the salary.

However, these economic subsidies are not bought and sold in the market, and are directly distributed to each type of worker according to a welfare calculation system.

[Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, these products have rarely innovated for thousands of years, and too much market capital is only consumed here, and there is no value creation. Therefore, directly using the welfare system to supply is a kind of saving for the operation of society.]

One of the most economical items is non-staple food and clothing.

The social activity group directly organizes labor on the edge of the city, as well as the human production of rural producers, and then directly procures the agricultural and sideline products, so that the social activity group unilaterally obtains basic products that are much lower than the market price.

On the other hand, for these low-level self-employed people, they also need to hedge against risk, and the social investigation team has a stable purchase so that they don't have to deal with those suppliers.

In the past, those people in the rivers and lakes could eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and they could go to the custom shop to eat flower wine if they had nothing to do, why not? They are the ones who control the scarce commercial channels and control these low-level producers.

As long as these gangsters change their channels slightly, for the bottom producers, it will be like the diversion of the Yellow River, affecting a large number of people at once.

But now, no one has to talk to them, the sales channel that was once as important as the air is now as cheap as the air, and the three sects and nine streams in the lower strata of the entire Hanmin City have felt that the rivers and lakes are not easy to mix, and they have collectively begun to wash their hands.

So far, this kind of low wages and high benefits have been the answer that has been chosen in the original world. But now in this world:

Is it the "dream of freedom with the opportunity to suddenly get rich" that attracts people? Or is it more desirable to have a "just order with low disasters and low harm"? - Now that Blazing White has created a second option, it is worth looking forward to what Chikawa will ultimately choose.

……

At this time, in the modern era, the biggest beneficiary of the rise of the social investigation team is the military groups in the Weihe defense area. The shares that Blazing White gave to Base 38, Meng Jue, a local colonel, did not dare to eat it, so he handed it over to the above.

And this also makes the military giants above have a strong interest in the industrial chain engaged in blazing white.

The thinking of the military giants is different from that of the oligarchs.

1. The oligarchs have the standard of industrial control in their hearts = card upstream raw material channels, which can block your downstream market channels, control shares, and control the executives in your group.

2. The control standards of the military giants = you can take care of your own profits and losses; Your property is under the control of my military security, and I can recruit it if necessary. (Chaoming was at ease with Qingjun back then, but he was not at ease with the Rong family who ran around, that's the reason)

[Today, the blazing industrial planning is to give the military seat of the Weishui Defense Area a feeling that everything is under control. 】

Inside the information base, Su Qiteng looked at multiple sets of videos on the projection.

Video 1: A sparkling mirrored power station.

Video 2: A newly built bearing cutting manufacturing plant, with all kinds of machines running at full capacity, and the sound of humming and roaring machining is staggered.

Video 3, 4, 5......

These pictures made Su Qiteng, the old general, a little relaxed and happy, and he couldn't help but sigh to Su Mu on the side: "In the future, no matter which way he goes, it will make people feel pity!" ”

Su Mu smiled and nodded: "I think, General Rong Xue Ning must also have a headache, whether to let him join politics or the army in the future." ”

Su Qiteng: "Is that all?" ”

Su Mu pretended to be unhappy on his face: "I'm also a quasi-Great Wall, do you want to hear me admit that he is better than me?" ”

Su Qiteng had a smile on his face, knocked his fingers on the table and said, "Everyone likes geniuses, and no one is too little." Okay, let's talk about another topic. ”

The smile on Su Qiteng's face converged: "Don't talk about this, talk about that matter, Bai Mingle sent a message, have you received it!" ”

Su Mu nodded with a serious gaze: "See, the Zhao family should have found a new technical route." ”

In front of him, a number of sets of biological experiment materials popped up, all of which were obtained by the military's intelligence department.

[Since the funding comes from within the military, the military's intelligence unit is now not controlled by the oligarchs and the government]

There are a lot of photographs of experiments using the human body as a material.

Su Qiteng calmly flipped through the pages, and pointed his finger at the lady in the medical protective mechanical suit: "She, has you checked the origin?" ”

Su Mu shook his head: "No, this Li Jiangting seems to have appeared out of thin air, and I can't find any origin." ”

Su Qiteng stared at Su Mu and sighed: "Well, then, the Zhao family has now developed a new technology route, what are you going to do?" ”

Su Mu gritted his teeth, paused and said, "This, can you give me a chance?" This is my mother's project. ”

Su Qiteng sighed: "Don't be too emotional, now, after all, it is difficult for the human martial arts weapon technology to compete with the Lingshan side." Xianzao is also unwilling to provide technical support, and it is difficult for your project to compete with the Cuishan Laboratory now. ”

Su Mu turned his head to the screen behind him: "If you find additional financial assistance, it should be possible." ”

Su Qi paused and followed Su Mu's gaze,

After a few seconds, he scolded with a smile: "You, don't you want to think about it, will the Rong family let you trick that kid into taking the bait?" ”

Su Mu's eyes were full of scheming, and he smiled: "How can you know if you don't cheat?" ”
