328 Scared?
He Fang's words made the ordinary entrepreneurs in the audience suddenly lose interest, what is reasonable and legal to make money, they are running enterprises, and enterprises are making money by any means. Why talk about so many prerequisites? They are not cadres, and they have to talk about politics.
Of course, although they are slandered in their hearts, they certainly can't show it in their expressions.
"I understand some people's psychology, and now you may only think about how I can quickly accumulate wealth, how to scale up, and I am not interested in anything else. Some people may also think that if you fail to increase your ability to resist risks in the process of development, everything else is fake.
Therefore, many entrepreneurs, in order to accumulate wealth quickly, in order to increase their ability to resist risks. Therefore, I squeezed the employees a little bit within the company, drilled a little bit of loopholes in the policy and law, and made some excuses for myself in principle.
In short, some people's idea is to survive and gain a foothold, so let others suffer a little loss for the time being, and make more contributions to society when they grow stronger. ”
He Fang said this and looked at the people in the audience with a smile, everyone's faces were embarrassed smiles, and He Fang's words were inserted into their hearts.
Some things are unspoken rules, and who wouldn't do that? Does it make sense to be so picky? If you make it clear, no one will do this?
"Of course, there are many last resorts, such as the development of enterprises to make money, there are always people who want to come over to scrape some oil and water, share some interests, and then everyone comes and goes again and again to break through the bottom line.
I don't say this to stop some behavior, but to make a point clearly. In fact, in the process of running a business, you begin to eat away at your original intention again and again because of this or that objective or subjective factors, and lose your conscience, and some people even never touch the bottom line of the interests of the country and the nation, and then to temptation again and again, and finally to trample on again and again, and slowly become a bloodthirsty beast.
To do a better job, that is, to put on a slightly cloaked in hypocrisy. What is not done well is to blatantly damage the public and private interests. Therefore, both Marx and the ancient Chinese philosophers compared businessmen to a group of people who have no moral bottom line and are only interested in profit, and then strictly prevent and even oppress them.
Therefore, in the thousands of years before "Capital" came out, China's feudal dynasties could not tolerate the wealthy merchants even if they could tolerate the gate lords and aristocrats. Why? I think everyone here must be fighting against each other, hating the suppression of merchants by China's feudal dynasties, and even sneering at Das Kapital.
Some people will think that business can enrich the country, business can enrich the people, and even business can strengthen the army and the country. It is because of the importance of commerce and wealthy businessmen that the United States and the West have become the most developed countries in the world. Therefore, the suppression of businessmen is the most shameless. ”
Speaking of this, He Fang walked to the side, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and then took a big sip. After drinking, he turned to look at everyone with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am also a businessman and an entrepreneur, and I should not say these things. However, have you ever wondered why thousands of years of ancient China and why Marx advocated the suppression of businessmen and capital? It is because of the endless desire of businessmen, in order to accumulate wealth, they break through the bottom line again and again, hurting the people and the country.
Today, you are just a small business, and in order to accumulate wealth, you are just squeezing employees a little, and then exploiting the loopholes in the policy to build two sets of fiscal and taxation systems. Tomorrow, when your company grows, you may join forces with certain officials to encroach on local public resources and even state-owned assets for your own benefit.
The day after tomorrow, in order for the company to become one of the world's top 500 companies, or even the world's top 10, you will work with Wall Street to sell national data and sell national interests. At this time, in the eyes of some businessmen, they will shout 'Merchants have no borders'.
By this time, the incident of the French capitalists being hung with street lamps will occur. Do you know why the Jews have been exterminated by the nations of the West for hundreds of years? Because there is no bottom line, because all the wealth of other countries is extremely reduced by the Jews, and the whole country is working for Jewish financiers. Do you think such a country will revolt? ”
Speaking of this, the entrepreneurs in the audience began to have some serious thinking, and some people looked at each other and seemed to be exchanging something.
"Speaking of which, I'll expand on the topic a little more. Why did the West become a capitalist society? Why didn't their feudal magnates win the battle with the capitalists in the end? Because they do not have a relevant class that is evenly matched and antagonistic with the capitalists.
And after the capitalists took control of the West, the current Western countries are, to put it bluntly, the capitalists have the final say, and the whole country and the whole government are theirs.
Therefore, for the sake of profit, many times they will become bottomless, and there are no rules, regulations, and morals.
Conversely, why are we now in this system? In fact, Marx's philosophical thought is in line with China's cultural tradition, so Marx's philosophy can survive in China. What are China's cultural traditions? That is, a scholar is a scholar, a merchant is a businessman, the highest ideal of a merchant is to earn all the wealth of the world, and the highest ideal of a scholar is to open a peaceful and prosperous world, for the country and the people, and the world is in harmony.
In China, the scholars and the merchants can collude, but in the ideal they are not all the way, the scholar class is strongly pressed on the merchant class, and the entire social atmosphere and state system, as well as cultural and academic recognition of this kind of checks and balances, this is the biggest difference between China and the West.
At this point, I think you should get the idea. Bosses, businessmen are understandable for profit, but properly put away your desires, in addition to money, a little pursuit, a little ideal.
In addition, if you look at the development of the Jews, the Jews are very good at making money, but they have been hostile and hunted down. Why? Because businessmen who do not have a strong state or nation as a guarantee are just the object of others venting their anger or seeking revenge or dividing their interests.
In the end, the wise Jews gave up most of their interests to cooperate with the Anglo-Saxons, and the Jews were able to live in peace after they were attached to the powerful nation of the United States.
So, don't believe the nonsense that businessmen have no borders, when there is no country behind you to protect you and support you, you will only be eaten by others when you go out.
When you encroach on the interests of the country and the nation, you are actually destroying the Great Wall of China instead of strengthening yourself. You just take out the interests of the country and the nation and then be eaten by others, how much is really left in your hands?
Don't think that if you make some money at home, it will be safe to move abroad, everyone is an entrepreneur and often goes abroad, and your wealth is placed in other countries, and they will slowly eat away at your wealth from taxes, investment, interest, financial crises and other aspects.
Some people think I'm alarmist, but everyone is not stupid, and you will know after you have experienced it. Know Spain, right? It is not new that some banks in Spain regularly ransack the bank accounts of Chinese people.
Ladies and gentlemen, only a country has the opportunity for you to make a fortune, and every entrepreneur wants to become the world's top enterprise. But what is the premise of the world's top companies? The premise is that your country is among the top in the world.
Look at the world's top 500, how many are American? And how many of the other Fortune 500 companies are controlled by American capital consortia? How many of South Korea's four chaebols really have the final say? How much of the six consortia of island nations do the United States control?
When one day your company earns hundreds of billions or trillions, but you are worried that you will be kicked out by the board of directors of the United States at any time, you squeeze the hard-earned money of domestic workers, embezzle the interests of the country, and finally become someone else's wealth, what do you think?
We must control our own desires, have a sense of the overall situation, serve the country and the people, and have the ideals of scholars. In this way, you can not only keep your wealth, but also grow your business, which is the right way, this is the bright road. ”
When He Fang said this, the entrepreneurs in the audience immediately applauded, and the first generation of entrepreneurs still received a very national and national education, so they still recognized some of He Fang's concepts.
"What is the significance of Mr. Ma and the CEOs of the Jiangnan Association? It must be to cooperate with all of you, improve each other, and then go to the world together. However, the premise of this is that you are Chinese entrepreneurs, and the prefix has the word China, which is a country and a nation.
All your business activities seem to be for yourself, but in fact, you must also take into account the interests of the country and the nation. Therefore, I suggest to all entrepreneurs, when you do business in the future, you should encourage it to be reasonable and legal, but you should be cautious when it harms domestic interests.
Okay, I'm done. After He Fang finished speaking, he bowed to the audience.
Then there was a round of applause from the audience, and Alima also walked up to the stage.
"Thank you, Director He, you spoke very well, from a high vantage point, and the pattern is very large. This is indeed a lack of this kind of thinking and vision in many of our entrepreneurs, and Director He's words make me feel emotional. Any one of us must be dependent on the group to survive, and our company needs to be attached to the group to survive.
If our individuals disregard the interests of the group and destroy the group, then we will not be able to survive alone. In the same way, the same is true for enterprises, if we mess up this group environment and break it, then our enterprise will also perish.
We need to discuss and study the development of enterprises, but this ideology and overall situation must also be cultivated. I think Director He's ideological and political class is very necessary, if the country is not strong, we will not be strong. When the country is strong, I can be strong.
Okay, now it's the interactive session, does anyone want to communicate with Director He? Be bold and ask your questions. Alima laughed.
At this time, the hair of the audience was combed brightly, and he pulled back a big back, and then wore a jujube casual suit on his upper body, a pair of white trousers on his lower body, a pair of brown leather shoes on his feet, and Buddhist beads on his hands.
"Director He, hello, I want to ask, we often have to be asked by all kinds of local food and card requirements when we do business, how to love the country and the nation?" Well, that's what a bar is, someone who is poisoned by certain rules, or who has a bad impression of something.
"Uh......" He Fang glanced at Alima in embarrassment, everyone thought He Fang was asked, and was about to see his joke.
Who knows where the next sentence humiliated everyone present, and who said so.
"Mr. Ma, I thought that everyone who came today was already a business tycoon, but I didn't expect that there would be a small boss like this boss who was harassed by the local government.
Indeed, if you are too small and too influential, you will be harassed in some places. But I'm sure it's not as serious as you say, if you're really harassed on a regular basis, it's just two things:
One is that you are not operating legally and compliantly, so the local government wants to regulate you, and there is also the opportunity to blackmail you, and they know that you are not compliant and you dare not speak out. One is that the business environment in your place is too bad, I suggest you move out quickly, and some places do not cherish the enterprise, then you don't need to support the place.
But I don't think there are many places like this, right? I have heard of the wool phenomenon of enterprises in some places, but there are not many enterprises in this kind of place, and the enterprises in places where the business environment is not good have left.
In addition, at your level, it is indeed too high to talk about patriotism and love for the nation, and it is not appropriate, so you should first make the enterprise bigger and operate more legally. ”
He Fang replied, the entrepreneur in the audience was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, he didn't expect He Fang to speak so impulsively, and he couldn't speak.
He's a small boss? Is he small? He's worth a billion dollars, right? Amazing...... At this time, someone tugged at the corner of his clothes, and he endured it.
Alima was so confused by what to say that another entrepreneur stood up.
"Director He, according to what you said, isn't it a paradise for private entrepreneurs abroad? After all, according to you, their government is controlled by capitalists. So, isn't it best to go abroad for development? ”
He Fang looked at this man in his thirties who wore glasses, a suit and tie and felt like a returnee elite.
"You have a lot of sense, in theory. However, the Chinese are so smart and so good at making money, but how many overseas Chinese have made their enterprises as big as the United States and the West? You want to play with them, but they don't play with you.
Of course, there are also high-end high-tech enterprises such as automobiles and chips like Taiwan Province or Japan and South Korea, but their enterprises are basically controlled by American and Western capital.
If you have the ability to make a big business, and then let the United States and the West take control, you don't have much say in it.
That's why Chinese people do business around the world by opening restaurants and small supermarkets? People don't play with you. ”
After He Fang finished explaining, most of the people on the scene nodded.
At this time, someone stood up again and asked, and Alima, the host, simply stopped talking and stood aside.
"Then why can't we be like the West? What's so bad about capitalist countries? They have a developed economy, good social welfare, and high quality people, which proves that they are right, so why can't we do this? ”
The man also smiled after asking where he was, and then replied.
"Of the 197 countries in the world, 163 have a capitalist system, so I have to ask why only a few or a dozen countries in Europe and the United States are developed? Why haven't the other 100-odd capitalist countries become developed countries?
And I can tell you unequivocally that many capitalist countries have become more backward and barren after their country was controlled by the big capitalists. It's all controlled by the capitalists. ”
He asked such a question, and no one could answer it for a while.
"If you say two things, you may understand, one is that the developed countries in the West are not all developed because of their capitalism. It is that their country has a solid wealth foundation after robbing the world's wealth and resources hundreds of years ago, and their country has achieved industrialization, so it has become a developed country.
Second, other capitalist countries are like a child because of the capital strength of their enterprises, and they will collapse as soon as they compete with European and American companies. And how can these 163 capitalist countries become developed if they have not achieved industrialization and industrial competitiveness?
So do you know why China is called the world's factory? Because we have achieved full industrialization, we are one of the countries with the most complete industrial categories in the world. Coupled with the fact that our country protects our enterprises from competition from similar foreign enterprises at the beginning of their development, so you can have the opportunity to start from scratch.
As for what you said about good social welfare in the West, do you know where these social benefits come from? Is it from the big rich that they collect taxes? Of course not, the rich in the United States and the West are avoiding taxes and not paying taxes.
Europe has high welfare, and that's because their nationals pay personal income tax. Personal income tax 40% in Switzerland, 45% in the UK, 45% in France, 56% in Denmark, 45% in Germany, 43% in Italy, 47% in Spain......
And the personal income tax in the United States is only 10-37%, so their welfare is much worse than in Europe, if everyone in China pays a tax rate of more than 40% of their income, do you think China's welfare will be very poor?
Therefore, it is okay for others to be envious, but first understand what the underlying logic of other people's operation is. Why is Europe engaged in environmental issues? Isn't it to restrict the industrialization of other countries, so that other countries are not industrialized, only they are highly industrialized, so that their competitiveness has always been the top in the world. ”
