In fact, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If it is a top-down promotion, then the system construction needs to be done first. A lot of work needs to be done in advance. The preparation time is very long, and it may not necessarily be considered. comprehensive.
But if the institutional construction is done very well, the benefits will be very obvious. First of all, it will have a very good effect on social stability. Secondly, when it is fully promoted, it will take a relatively short time.
The disadvantage of bottom-up is that market competition may be unfair, and his companies may gain more competitive advantages in the process, and the economy will develop in a direction that is more beneficial to his companies.
The reason is simple. His companies have mastered almost all artificial intelligence technology and robot production technology. If they want to promote it, they will naturally give priority to their own companies.
Compared to them, the competitiveness of other companies will be further weakened, even if their employees do not work, they can still get a salary similar to that when working, or even higher.
Then employees of other companies will also try their best to enter his companies, resulting in insufficient recruitment of employees of other companies, unable to carry out normal production, and ultimately unable to operate.
Originally, they had to face an efficiency competition between humans and robots. As a result, the number of their own employees would decrease sharply. It was obvious how they could compete with his companies.
Even if the government wants to make relevant regulations in this area, it is unlikely, because the production of robots requires a process. When production capacity is limited, it will give priority to its own brother companies, and it is hard for others to say anything.
There are also benefits, that is, the government's work is relatively relaxed and it can make timely adjustments according to the actual situation during use. The policies and laws formulated in this way are more operable and targeted.
For Zhao Yi, he naturally hopes to implement a bottom-up plan so that his companies will have more advantages and his autonomy will be higher.
If it were a general technological revolution, he would not need to remind the government, he would do it first, but this revolution is fundamentally different from the previous information technology revolution.
Therefore, if all parties are to maintain relative stability during this round of changes, the government must have a full understanding of this and be able to assume the role of social manager in a timely manner.
Everyone present is a smart person. Among his suggestions, his companies will always gain the most. Whether it is the first plan or the second plan, he has the absolute initiative.
To be honest, when he said that his companies accounted for 70% of the domestic GDP, the hearts of everyone present seemed to have been hit hard. This number is really terrifying.
If you put this aside, everyone seems to be in peace and contentment. After all, the country has developed to this extent, and his contribution cannot be ignored. This is affirmed by everyone present.
But if you hear this number, everyone will be very confused. 70% is already a very exaggerated figure. Even for a small country, let alone a big country like us, it is a very scary proportion.
If the robot replacement plan is really implemented, the economic value created by his companies will account for further increase in the domestic GDP, possibly reaching 80% or even 90%.
By then, it can be said that domestic economic affairs will be decided by him. By then, the government will probably have no way to restrain him. Any politician will take this matter seriously.
Politics pays attention to a balance, and it usually reaches a relatively stable state through constant games and compromises. Obviously, the economic structure of one dominant company has lost its balance in the eyes of many people.
Don’t underestimate the power brought by the economy. Throughout human history, all problems are ultimately economic problems. Whether it is politics or people’s livelihood, they cannot be separated from the support of the economy. Once there are problems in the economy, then politics and people’s livelihood will also follow. Disaster.
So even though he doesn't seem to be overly involved in anything other than the economy, in fact his influence is everywhere. He is inseparable from any domestic issue, even though he is not present.
"Why did you insist on going into business in the first place? Wouldn't it be good to be a down-to-earth scientist?" a leader suddenly asked.
In fact, this question should be a question that many people have wanted to ask for a long time. Our country is not without talented scientific and technological workers. They are also quietly working in the field of science and technology, and they have also made particularly great contributions to the country.
Obviously, in their view, if he had only used his scientific talents, maybe the country could have reached today's heights, but there would not have been an economic monster that has grown to this point.
What's more important is that this economic monster, just given a relatively loose policy environment, suddenly grows like a weed, crazy, and has grown into a towering tree before people can react.
This is also very rare in human history. Any company that can grow into a super giant has more or less efforts from the government. Obviously, its companies have not received much care from the government.
Even when he acquired the domestic semiconductor industry, it was not actually a help. The acquisition funds he provided exceeded the valuation of these industries at the time, and he did not take any advantage.
More importantly, the technologies in these semiconductor companies have not played any role in the development of his semiconductors. What he needs are employees with practical experience in semiconductors. Technology has no effect on him.
Although many people want to use this matter to flatter themselves, indicating that the government has been very helpful to him, in fact everyone understands that whether he acquires these semiconductor companies or not, the result will not make much difference to him.
Because it can be seen from his industrial structure that except for the semiconductor industry, which was originally integrated with the domestic semiconductor industry, other industries were basically built from scratch.
And in terms of technical content, the technical content of many companies is no lower than that of the semiconductor industry, or even much higher. The most typical one is Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, and others such as Cornerstone Materials Company, Star Express Company, Star Power Company, etc. wait.
Which company has lower technical content than the semiconductor industry? No one with a little knowledge of the situation would come to such a conclusion.
It can be said that in the development process of his enterprises, compared with the national resources he occupied, his contribution to the country far exceeded the demand. This is the reason why people like them love and hate him.
my country's GDP has grown nearly 55 times from 364.5 billion yuan in 1978 to 20 trillion yuan last year in just 10 years.
The reason why he has achieved such great achievements is that most of the credit is created by his companies. In fact, other domestic companies have also benefited from the economic vitality brought by the rapid development of his companies.
So this sentence is not just a question about this, it contains too many complex emotions, but it is just turned into a sentence that seems to be just doubt.
Faced with this problem, Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said: "Because I personally don't trust capital. Instead of letting capital that I don't trust dominate the economy, it is better to participate in it myself and bring down other capital."
Everyone did not expect that his answer would be like this. A super capitalist actually told them that he hated capitalists very much, so he turned himself into a capitalist and killed other capitalists.
This reason sounds so ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it feels so reasonable that you can't refute it for a while.
Zhao Yi ignored the psychological activities of everyone present and continued: "Everyone should be very familiar with Capital. Primitive capital will inevitably be associated with greed.
It can be said that in order to obtain any piece of surplus value, capitalists may try their best to obtain this piece of surplus value so that they can develop even stronger.
Such characteristics are indeed conducive to improving social production efficiency and reducing social production costs. If it develops in a positive direction, it can also promote the progress of science and technology.
Because the improvement of science and technology is the biggest way to improve efficiency for capital, and it is also the most effective way to reduce costs.
However, the improvement of science and technology is full of uncertainties, and the investment is also very large. General capital simply does not have the ability to invest in this area, so the proportion of positive capital in this area is actually not large.
Compared with these capitals that have a positive impact, many capitals will be more or less severely exploited in the process of development, and even accompanied by black methods. Moreover, this is not a phased situation and will always exist as long as the characteristics of capital still exist. exist.
Compared with these capitals, I am confident that I have the ability to rely on improving science and technology instead of relying on labor exploitation to develop and grow, so as to achieve economic improvement and all people can enjoy the dividends brought by science and technology improvement.
In fact, these original ideas I had have been realized one by one in the past 10 years, relying on world-leading technology to create our country's economic miracle.
It can be said that the income level of the domestic people has increased rapidly, and other domestic enterprises, whether state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, have actually enjoyed the economic development dividends brought by our enterprises.
Rather than pinning my ideals on uncertain things, I want to grasp things that I can control. This is also the fundamental reason why I entered the business world in the first place.
You should know more about the domestic situation than I do. If I had not gone into business but chosen a national scientific research institute, it would have been almost impossible to achieve the current results. "
In that era when the turmoil had not yet subsided, if you relied too much on external forces and wanted to make a little progress, you would have to expend much more energy than you do now, and development would definitely not be as fast as it is now.
In addition, in other aspects, the capital he controls is also very different from other capitals. For example, he actively and continuously raises wages for employees, which is something other capital cannot do.
Under normal circumstances, capital is willing to raise wages for employees not because they have good intentions, but because it is determined by the social environment and labor relations supply, and is the result of market adjustments.
Obviously, this kind of behavior of his companies was not market behavior, because at that time, our country had a surplus of labor force and had a lot of cheap power, waiting for these companies to choose. Labor-capital relations were conducive to capitalists.
Moreover, his companies have always been in a strong competitive position and are not afraid of competition from other companies. They have a natural advantage in attracting employees.
Not only that, the current domestic security system was established under his suggestions and practices. It was he who initially advocated providing various insurances and protections for employees.
At that time, except for state-owned enterprises that were eating from the big pot, neither private enterprises nor foreign-funded enterprises had ever thought of proactively providing employees with so much insurance to protect their interests.
Not to mention this era, even before his rebirth, those giant companies were eager to scrape a layer of oil from their employees' welfare. Otherwise, there would be so many temporary workers and so many dispatched employees.
It can be said that today's workers can obtain relatively complete labor security thanks to the labor security system established from the beginning.
It was also these labor security systems that later evolved into a nationwide welfare system, thus allowing the three big mountains of future generations: education, medical care and pensions to be directly removed from the heads of the people.
What's more, his companies also took the lead in implementing double holidays and also implemented the traditional holiday system, thus forming a broader social consensus and further protecting workers' right to rest.
There is no external force to force them to do these behaviors. They are all spontaneous behaviors of his companies. If it were other capital, they would never do this. No one has nothing to do when they are full, and doing so is detrimental to their own interests. things.
If he does not engage in business and occupies the vast majority of the economy, but chooses to stay in a national scientific research institute, he will never be able to do these things.
More importantly, with his golden finger on his body, if he cannot take the initiative, he is likely to become the target of capital support, and the outcome may be very tragic.
Look at the genius scientist Tesla. He had very strong technical ability, but he ended up in such a miserable state. All his ideas and scientific research results did not bring him any benefit, but were the source of the tragedy in his life. .
Maybe if he uses ordinary science and technology, he won't attract too many people's attention, and he can still gain a certain status. However, if the level of black technology he uses later becomes higher and higher, he may become a forbidden favorite of the powerful. .
Not to say there is no freedom at all, but it is definitely not like now. You can do whatever you want, carefree and free.
Faced with his statement, everyone present did not know how to evaluate it. If anyone else said this, they would definitely sneer at it, which seemed too hypocritical.
Just like those successful businessmen in previous lives, they always said that they did not love money, but in fact, every step they took was full of calculations, and money was more important than anyone else.
But for him, this is really the case. Since he started business, he has considered the interests of the people and employees even more radically than the government, and he has been ahead of the government every step of the way.
But from another perspective, it actually shows that he does not completely trust the government. He does many things himself first, and then works from the bottom up to prompt the government to improve relevant policies.
If it were another capitalist, taking advantage of the fact that the domestic laws are not perfect enough, he would try his best to exploit legal loopholes and seek more benefits for himself, which none of his companies have done.
They will even organize their good experiences and problems that arise during their own practice into relevant documents and materials to provide the government with a basis for formulating laws and regulations, thereby making laws and regulations more realistic and operable.
In fact, given the state of the government at that time, it was difficult to keep up with his ideas. Therefore, the most credible thing was to do it first and then sum up experience. This is a feasible path.
In fact, this was also the case in previous lives. The government would be relatively tolerant of an industry in its early stages of development. Then as the industry continued to develop, it accumulated a lot of experience and fully understood the pros and cons of industrial development.
This is actually very conducive to the development of new industries, because in the face of any new things, everyone has no experience and cannot formulate strict laws and regulations before they have done it. The laws and regulations formulated in that way are actually groundless duckweeds. Solid foundation.
In fact, the domestic economic structure has been formed now, and it is very difficult to change it. At least those here do not have much confidence that we can cultivate another economic entity that can compete with it.
The government also controls a large number of state-owned enterprises and assets. Compared with the intensity of policy support, the treatment enjoyed by state-owned enterprises is certainly not comparable to that of private enterprises.
However, after these years of development, the development speed of these state-owned enterprises is obviously not at the same level as the development speed of his companies, and there is no comparability at all.
This is because state-owned enterprises have obtained a lot of technology from him. Otherwise, the current domestic economic structure would not only be the current situation, but the proportion of his enterprises would be much higher.
Except in monopoly fields, such as railways and power grids, as long as it is a competitive market field, no one dares to say that he can compete with his own companies. This is not frustration, but a fact.
Look at the industries under his umbrella, which one is not almost a monopoly? Their chip industry has almost completely dominated the global chip industry, leaving only some scraps.
Their information technology and equipment have almost monopolized the global market. Except for fixed-line telephone markets that have long been divided up, the rest is their food. Global mobile communication companies and Internet infrastructure companies all rely on them. breath.
What's more, in the field of software, it is the only one company. With its leading advantages and technological advantages, it can be said to be invincible in the world. Until now, there has been no strong competitor.
Even the field of traditional clothing has been conquered by his companies. Traditional clothing companies have closed down and closed down, allowing Hualong Clothing Company to occupy 70% of the global market share.
It can be said that no matter which industry he wants to enter, if a free competition model is adopted, there will not even be a competitor that can fight. This is a true portrayal.
This is true internationally, but domestically their competitiveness will be even stronger. If he had not deliberately targeted state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, their share of the economy would have been even larger.
Therefore, everyone at the scene was actually quite helpless. Unless an administrative order was used to restrict his development, there would be no way to stop his development, but using an administrative order was basically impossible.
At least the industries it owns play a vital role in the country's economic development. Restricting its development is equivalent to restricting the development of the domestic economy, which is contrary to national interests and the interests of the people.
This kind of decision cannot be made just because of an unfounded worry. What's more, his value does not lie in these properties, but in himself. It is because of him that he has these properties, not these properties that make him successful.
Since he was able to create a huge situation from scratch in a state of poverty at home, he can naturally accomplish such achievements in other places. If he is deliberately targeted, this will be great news for other countries.
Even if he does not move overseas, it may make him unwilling to contribute any more, and the country's economic development will definitely stagnate to a certain extent, or it will not grow as fast as it does now.
If he is allowed to move overseas, it will be of great benefit to the country where he is moved. This will mean that their country will be able to embark on a prosperous road and enter the fast lane of rapid development.
Therefore, he already has strategic value. Compared with worries that have not yet occurred, everyone is more willing to maintain the status quo. No matter what the choice is, it will not be better than now.
And based on what he has done over the years, everyone has more confidence in him. At least he is a relatively sensible and patriotic person, and he is also a relatively law-abiding person.
Of course, in these years, it is not that no one has had opinions on his companies, and there has been a lot of feedback from the government. Many entrepreneurs have reported to the government that their behavior is a bit domineering.
Because he said to his companies that partners with obvious moral stains would be removed from the cooperation list, causing many people to suffer great losses, but there was nothing they could do.
They hope that through the government, they can restrain the behavior of their affiliates and allow the cooperation to continue. However, this is the personal behavior of the company. It is the company's own business to choose who to cooperate with, and the government cannot interfere.
Capital may not be good or evil, but as an individual, it is divided into good and evil. Moreover, it does not value its industries as much as others think, and does not put interests first.
Therefore, this kind of behavior that is obviously contrary to one's own interests may be inconceivable to outsiders, but it is not difficult for him to understand, because in his view, material interests are only part of social interests.
Materials do not represent all of society. If we want the harmonious development of society, we must abandon materialistic economics and raise corresponding heights in other aspects, such as moral standards.
If a person with low personal morals and literacy possesses a large amount of wealth, it is a crime against society, and it will also affect the social atmosphere, which he cannot tolerate. (End of chapter)
