"The basic salary is 580 yuan, and the total income for a month is about 1,200 yuan, but overtime pay is the main income."

"The average worker works 70 hours a week."

Director Zhang basically doesn't need to think about it, and can say the data related to it.

As the leader of the region, if he doesn't even know this, he is too detached from the masses.

"Do you know what the monthly salary of the lowest-paid employee in our infinity company is?" Chen Weidong nodded with a smile and continued to ask.

"I heard Director Zhang say that it seems to be about 7,000 yuan." Speaking of this, middle-aged people couldn't help but show a look of envy.

Except for the Infinity Company, he has never seen a company that pays so many salaries to ordinary employees, is this still the capitalist who does everything possible to exploit workers for the sake of profit?

This "minimum" salary income is more than that of most civil servants!

Chen Weidong said with a smile: "This is actually related to our industrial structure, most of our products are high-tech products, the main sales market is Europe and the United States and other Western countries, high added value and high profits, naturally have the ability to pay more salaries to employees." ”

"If we build the production workshop by Infinity, we will increase the after-tax income of front-line employees to about 3,000 yuan, and ensure a five-day, eight-hour work system."

"Boss Chen! Is this true? When the middle-aged man heard this, he almost got up from the sofa.

During this period, the tax benchmark of individual income tax is 800 yuan, but at their level, they are naturally more well-informed than ordinary people, and there is already news that a new individual income tax collection standard is being formulated.

It is possible that next year, or the year after the latest, the tax standard will be raised to 1,600 yuan.

Moreover, listening to Chen Weidong's tone, this is a large-scale construction of a factory.

If the number of employees of Foxconn is benchmarked, then South China will directly increase the number of tax residents by hundreds of thousands, which will greatly promote the local economy and finance.

"Haha, Xiao Chen, if it really comes as you say, we definitely want to support you." Director Zhang also smiled from ear to ear, completely losing his previous posture of "this is very troublesome".

Unlike other regions, South China does not hand over tax revenue to Canton, but part of it is handed over to China*, and most of it is kept in the local treasury.

Chen Weidong touched his nose and smiled bitterly, to put it bluntly, it's not a matter of interests?

This old fox is still so cunning!

Director Zhang and the middle-aged man seemed to have considered all aspects of the problem in an instant, and also proposed several solutions, that is, as long as Chen Weidong can implement the salary he said, even if Foxconn moves out in the future, they don't care.

The purpose of the establishment of the SEZs was to introduce advanced technology.

The establishment of labor-intensive industries is a desperate move.

But if we have more advanced technology, the elimination of low-end manufacturing has become an inevitable trend.

"By the way, how much are you going to sell this smartphone when it goes on sale?" Director Zhang drank all the tea in front of him, and then asked with some curiosity.

"It's about a month's salary for a worker."

This price was preliminarily set by Chen Weidong after asking the R&D department.

Otherwise, with the epoch-making breakthrough of their mobile phone, even if it is priced at more than 5,000 yuan, it will not be sold at all.

Considering the income level of ordinary people in China, he still decided to reduce the price while retaining a certain profit margin so that most Chinese people can afford it.

It's not that he doesn't have money to earn, but that there is an economic issue involved.

As early as the twenties of the last century, Ford, which manufactures cars, gave an answer.

As a long-established manufacturing factory, Ford took the lead in raising wages for workers and strictly implemented a five-day, eight-hour workday.

Ford did this out of a kind of business rationality born out of an in-depth understanding of the market.

Although they introduced assembly lines and expanded the production of automobiles, new problems arose.

If Ford's employees can't even afford to buy their own cars, how many can?

If a product wants to get lasting returns, it can't expect a small group of consumers.

Otherwise, the market will become shaky.

There is no point in expanding production.

As a result, Ford began to double and double the wages of the workers, and the purpose was to give the workers sufficient purchasing power.

The final result of this behavior is to set off a new round of industry involution, so that other companies are forced to raise the wages of workers, which indirectly improves the local economic level.

But it's not enough to just afford it.

If workers are left on the assembly line for most of the day, how can they have time to drive?

Therefore, it is necessary to create effective demand.

As a result, Ford not only raised the wages of the workers, but also added many vacations, so that they could drive their own cars and take their families on vacations, and the cars made by Ford would no longer have to worry about not being able to sell.

Therefore, the core of Fordism is not the assembly line of all evils, but to let its workers have the ability and willingness to buy their own products to achieve the effect of internal circulation.

And the situation facing infinity companies now is very similar.

The ecosystem of smartphones, the software that will be installed in the future, and the Internet industry involved will all be related to the giant Infinity, if their own employees don't have time to consume and experience products.

Then their company's business will gradually fall into a pool of stagnant water.

Director Zhang, of course, they understand this truth, but they still feel sincere admiration for Chen Weidong and Infinity Company's willingness to sacrifice their own interests to benefit the public.

"I know you could have replaced most of the workers with automated assembly lines, but instead of doing so, you're trying to create more jobs, thank you for all you do for the country! Thank you! ”

"As for the network access permit you mentioned, as well as various procedures, we will ask people to find the telecommunications department to help you get it as soon as possible, and will not delay your issuance ....."

Before leaving, Director Zhang stood at the door of the office and said earnestly.

This is what he admires most about Chen Weidong, who has never been as mercenary as other businessmen, but understands his social responsibilities and uses his ability to help more ordinary people.

How great would it be if every business owner had this kind of awareness?

Chen Weidong smiled at this.

There are some rules that are hard to change on his own, but nevertheless, someone has to do it, doesn't it?

Rebirth seems to be a dream yesterday, and before you know it, he has begun to influence this great era.

Although it is not easy to see that you are in it, looking back on the past, ten or twenty years, this progress seems to be so great.

Even Western countries, which boast of a developed civilization, will exclaim the great change when they look at China every once in a while, but he, the person who is in it, is not surprised.

It has only been 25 years since the opening up of the economy, and so much progress has already been made.

In the midst of the great changes in the country and the nation, it is really exciting to experience and contribute to this glorious journey.

Chen Weidong quietly stared out of the floor-to-ceiling window, the ever-changing new city, and after a long silence, he said softly: "We are a great nation, and we will surely move towards a greater and more brilliant future!" ”
