Chapter 706: Success is a law
How terrifying is the power of capital controlled by the Chinese government?
Looking at how many of the world's top 500 state-owned enterprises are there, and looking at their total assets, turnover, and profitability, it is easy to conclude that the real dominant capital power in China is the government itself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition, private companies such as Lenovo, Haier, Taobao, Tencent, Huawei, etc., which seem to have unlimited scenery on the surface, are actually only beneficiaries of the capital precipitation of national capital in infrastructure investment.
Take the online shopping, mobile payment, electronic entertainment, and social platforms that most people can't do without right now, and there is one that these companies really created from scratch?
Not a single one!
What really creates these things is actually the infrastructure investment made by the state as a unit.
In the case of online shopping, first of all, it needs to build a power grid that covers most parts of the country, followed by broadband, mobile networks, and finally the express delivery industry, which is extremely dependent on public transportation.
Only when these conditions are met will it be possible to achieve a huge online shopping platform that connects thousands of sellers and hundreds of millions of buyers.
And the huge investment of tens of trillions of dollars that cannot be recovered in a short period of time cannot be accomplished by just one or two companies, or one or two interest groups.
The same situation was played out in the United States in the eighties and nineties of the last century.
At that time, the Red Empire, one of the two largest groups in the world, had just collapsed, and the major international financial capital groups were busy carrying out the largest economic robbery of mankind against the Soviet Union.
They have not yet noticed that at this time in the United States, a large number of electronic technology companies have sprung up everywhere, and the famous Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco were all established at this time.
After just a dozen years of development, Internet companies have slowly developed from small portals to supergiants such as Google and Facebook.
Some idiots who don't understand the economy at all, or who don't understand anything, attribute these phenomena to the foresight of the founders.
To that end, they concocted one after another such as garage startup (Apple) and self-made (Microsoft) chicken soup for the soul, trying to show you that Jobs and Gates achieved success through their own efforts.
But in reality?
In fact, these people ignore the fact that during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, the United States invested tens of trillions of dollars in research in the field of computers and electronic communications.
In economics, this kind of asset that has been invested to form fixed assets and has an exclusive nature is called precipitated capital.
Whether it is Steve Jobs, who has been repeatedly advocated by the news media to change people's living habits, or Gates, who has been named a great name, they are just beneficiaries of precipitated capital.
Without such a huge upfront capital investment, even if these two people are capable, the result will only be to fall into the pit and not be able to climb out.
In fact, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, no matter who participated in the entrepreneurship of computers and the Internet, they would dig their own pot of gold.
Even if there is no Bill Gates and Jobis, there will naturally be someone to replace them.
As a sober-minded person, Lu Li never believed in the so-called "chicken soup for the soul" and "successful experience", let alone that success was due to the efforts and persistence of one or two people.
On the contrary, he believed that success was an objective law that was inextricably linked to economic, political and social structures.
Take the current high profits that can be made by planting golden sea buckthorn fruits, first of all, the seeds and cultivation methods are obtained in an almost zero-cost way, which is equivalent to getting the precipitation capital invested in advance by people from other worlds for decades or even thousands of years, and secondly, many terminal diseases that threaten human life on the earth cannot be cured, and no matter which one of the two is missing, it is impossible to succeed.
And in this set of supply and demand relations, Lu Li himself happens to be the least important part, to be precise, the part that can be replaced.
Because of this, he has always had a clear understanding of himself, and even today, with ever-expanding capabilities and ambitions, he still maintains fear and respect for some of the most powerful governments in the world.
The woman obviously understood what Lu Li wanted to say, and asked with a puzzled face: "I don't understand, since you don't mean to go back at all, why do you have to ......?"
"Why do I have to work with you, right?"
Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Li took the initiative to make up the second half of the sentence.
"Yes, don't you think your behavior is a little puzzling?" the woman cupped her chin, her eyes revealing curiosity.
Lu Li spread his hands with a smile: "What is there to understand?"
After 2,000 years of ostracism, humiliation, and massacre, the Jews learned that they needed to re-establish their own state, otherwise the Jews would not be able to secure their property, no matter how much money they earned.
And I have come to the same conclusion from the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident, overseas Chinese also need the protection of a strong motherland.
Just imagine, if the government had the current military strength, would Indonesia still dare to commit bloody and cruel atrocities?
So no matter what the individual's economy and ideology are, it doesn't affect me to help my homeland, because the motherland is quite helpful to myself. ”
"I can't see, your consciousness is quite high, is it?" the woman raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She obviously didn't expect to hear such a special remark from Lu Li's mouth.
"No, this is not an enlightenment, but a real interest relationship, and anyone with a little brain should understand it. Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't had time to ask your name for so long since I've been in the door. ”
After that, Lu Li crossed his fingers on his lap and patiently waited for the other party's self-introduction.
The woman pursed the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile, "Why, don't you even know what your secretary's name is?"
"My secretary?!" Lu Li's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Of course, you don't really know, do you?!" the woman quickly appeared in disbelief.
The two of them stared at each other for a full minute, and then they laughed in unison.
The woman pointed to Lu Li's nose and laughed, "Oh my God, I don't know what to say about you, no wonder your company is about to be infiltrated into a sieve by spies." ”
Lu Li sighed helplessly: "No way! You should know that some time ago I was in Venezuela, and the company's affairs were all managed by my subordinates." What is the matter with the company you just said was infiltrated into a sieve by spies, could it be related to the few photos that I sent this afternoon?"
"Yes! I was about to tell you about it. ”
The woman quickly put away her smile and pulled up the corresponding photo from the computer.
"Do you remember the young and beautiful women in the photo? They are all employees of the company, and I suspect that some of them may be swallows......
