Why develop manufacturing? Isn't it good to be a comprador

The office of the Commissioner of Customs was crowded with a bunch of merchants who came to auction confiscated goods. The number of people was so large that it was hard to find a place to stay. Everyone must be close to each other, greet each other, and seek forgiveness.

Director Sanjar sat behind a large desk, but his position was spacious. He stroked his beard with a laugh, and was very satisfied with the number of people who came to the auction.

There is a catalogue and a corresponding auction roster on the table of Mr. Director. While reading it, he talks about his own experience of the current economy.

"The Americans have long moved out of low-end manufacturing. Americans are not doing well. Europeans also don't like industries that are polluting, inefficient, and unprofitable, and look for places to transfer.

Now even the Japanese are transferring those meaningless businesses. Are the Japanese stupid? I don’t think so. If you want to make a fortune, you have to abandon those useless things.

We have excellent ports and developed trade, which should vigorously develop the financial industry and tourism. This is called a "smoke-free industry", with high efficiency and no pollution, which is especially suitable for us. "

Director Sanjar was talking, this scene was not like an auction at all, but rather like his personal preaching and propaganda meeting. He was talking a lot about his'new economic thinking', bluffing people who came to buy cheap goods.

Ekoram was squeezed in the crowd in the office, his mind full of question marks. He thought he would be led to an auction house, and an auctioneer would raise his hammer, and there would be fierce bidding on the spot, and everyone would meet with red ears.

But the people who came to the auction were led to the director's office, huddled together like sardines, to listen to director Sanjar's "personal view" on economic development.

What the hell is this

Ekoram tightly hugged the purse in his hand, which contained hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in banknotes. This auction requires cash transactions on site, forcing everyone to guard their purses like a miser.

Director Sanjar paused and asked, "Do you think I am right?"

There was a buzzing echo in the office immediately, and everyone kept nodding their heads. Nono said, “It’s really good to say to the Secretary, that it’s really meaningless to say that it’s not profitable business.

After being praised by everyone, the Secretary-General scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a chuckle: "This is actually not my opinion, but the recent research results of many European economists.

By summarizing the laws of economic development in recent hundreds of years, the professors in Oxford, England, have reached relevant conclusions. They believe that the international market is fully competitive and has enough production capacity to meet demand.

We don't need to produce worthless things such as shoes and socks. Even food can be imported from abroad. This is cheaper than our own production. For example, the United States has enough food to supply the whole world.

Each country should develop its own industry. For example, Egypt is suitable for growing cotton, so they changed their wheat fields to cotton fields. Grain can be solved by importing them, and they are doing well now.

We should develop more animal husbandry, replace farmland with pasture, and replace grain with cashmere. This will make more money, right? "

This was a bit counterintuitive, but there was still admiration in the office.

'Director, your point of view is too correct. "Your Excellency Sanjar, you are an economist." This point of view should be published in the newspaper, and it will definitely gain more recognition.

In the office, everyone thought in their hearts, "Why don't you start the auction?" What the hell is this nonsense? The ** bureaucrats are making strange talks again."

But everyone had a smile on their faces, and they continued to please the eloquent Secretary.

Director Sanjar talked for more than an hour, making the legs of everyone who came to the auction sore and unable to support their waists. But everyone has no choice but to stand firm.

The chief had a lot of fun, until he felt dry, he grabbed the bills and the roster, and called out one by one: "Ekorem, are you here?"

"Your Excellency, I'm here." Ekoram was so old that he could not straighten his waist after standing for a long time. He squeezed through the crowd, arched to relieve his backache, and walked to the director's desk.

This'respectful' attitude made Director Sanjar very happy. He drew out an auction confirmation letter on the desktop, filled in Ekrem's name, and then filled in the number and amount of the confiscated auction bill, and finally signed Give your name and stamp.

"Take it. You can go to the warehouse to pick up the goods after paying the money." The director waved his hand and handed the confirmation to Ecorem. "These goods are now legal and can be sold normally."

The owner of the garment factory looked at the confirmation letter and quickly took a look at the auction amount. He immediately felt that his waist was not sore and his legs were not painful. I wish I could continue to listen to Director Sanjar's bullshit.

There has always been an auction price that is getting higher and higher, but today there is no process, and after listening to the "speech" for a long time, the auction amount is actually a 20% discount!

"Your Excellency Sanjar, you are really an erudite economist. Your views have revealed my long-held doubts.

I will definitely introduce your research results to friends I know. There is really no need to keep the low-end manufacturing industry, your point of view is too correct. "

The office was crowded, and Ekrem's confirmation letter was filled in, and several pairs of eyes nearby saw it. When Director Sanjar read the next name, a louder guy jumped out and shouted.

"Your Excellency Sanjar, I have a friend in the media industry. Can you allow me to introduce him to interview you? Your views are too instructive for our country's economic development and need to be promoted."

Hahaha... The Director laughed louder, but he was still humble. "What I just said is not my personal research. In fact, I heard it during dinner with the mayor a few days ago."

"Could it be the mayor who is pursuing this advanced concept?"

"It was promoted by a visiting scholar from the United States at Istanbul University. He talked about the internal economic cooperation of NATO countries, one of which is that countries develop their own advantageous industries and exchange what they have."

Wow... the admiration sounded again.

Ekoram got the auction confirmation and immediately withdrew from the director's office. He didn't want to hear that unlearned guy spraying dung with his mouth full, he just wanted to buy the confiscated goods quickly.

Combine the left and right shoes, and the banknotes are in hand.

But when the money was really made, Ekoram suddenly realized that Director Sanjar's remarks might be somewhat correct. To work hard to run the factory is too tiring, take a lot of risks and make no more money.

It is indeed easier to develop the financial industry and tourism in the trading port. Even if you can't do finance, it's easier to be a comprador.

There are not enough light industrial goods, just buy from China. If there are not enough agricultural products, just buy from the United States. Anyway, I can't compete, why are you working hard? Just lie flat and forget it.
