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

"In a week, the average worker usually works 70 hours."

Director Zhang can tell the relevant data without thinking at all.

As the top leader in the region, if he doesn't even know this, he is too out of touch with the masses.

"Then do you know what the monthly salary of the lowest-paid employee in our Infinite Company is?" Chen Weidong smiled, nodded, and continued to ask.

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

Apart from Infinite Company, he has never seen any company that pays such a high salary to ordinary employees. Is this still the capitalist in his mind who does everything possible to exploit workers for the sake of profit?

This “minimum” salary income exceeds 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 markets are Western countries such as Europe and the United States. With high added value and high profits, we naturally have the ability to pay employees

More salary.”

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

"Boss Chen! Is what you said true?" The middle-aged man almost stood up from the sofa when he heard this.

During this period, the baseline for personal income tax is 800 yuan, but at their level, they are naturally more informed than ordinary people. There is already news that new personal tax collection standards are being formulated.

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

Moreover, judging from Chen Weidong's tone, this means building a large-scale factory.

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

"Haha, Xiao Chen, if you really follow what you said, we will definitely support you vigorously." Director Zhang also smiled from ear to ear, completely losing his previous attitude of "this is very troublesome".

Unlike other regions, Huanan City's tax revenue is not handed over to Guangdong, but part of it is handed over to the Central Government, and most of it is retained in the local treasury.

Chen Weidong rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. To put it bluntly, isn't it 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. They said that as long as Chen Weidong could implement the salary and benefits he said, even if Foxconn moved away in the future,

They don't care either.

The purpose of establishing the special zone is to introduce advanced technology.

Establishing labor-intensive industries is really a helpless move.

But if we have more advanced technology ourselves, then eliminating low-end manufacturing will become an inevitable trend.

"By the way, how much do you plan to sell this smartphone for when it is launched on the market?" Director Zhang drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, and then asked curiously.

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

This price was initially 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, there is no need to worry about selling it.

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

It's not that he doesn't make money, but it involves an economic issue.

As early as the 1920s, Ford, a car manufacturer, gave the answer.

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

The reason why Ford did this was out of a business rationality derived from an in-depth understanding of the market.

Although they introduced assembly lines and expanded automobile production, new problems also emerged.

If Ford employees can't even afford a car produced by the company, how many others can afford it?

If a product wants to obtain lasting returns, it cannot rely on a small group of consumers.

Otherwise the market will become unstable.

There is no point in expanding production.

As a result, Ford Company began to significantly increase wages for workers, doubling and doubling the wages. The purpose was to allow workers to have sufficient purchasing power.

The ultimate result of this behavior is to set off a new round of industry involution, forcing other companies to raise wages for workers, which indirectly improves the local economic level.

But just being able to afford it is not enough.

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

Therefore, it is necessary to create effective demand.

So Ford not only increased wages for workers, but also added many holidays, so that they could drive their own cars and take their families on vacations, and the cars built by Ford no longer had to worry about being unsold.

converge

Therefore, the core of Fordism is not the evil assembly line, but the ability and willingness of workers to purchase their own products to achieve the effect of internal circulation.

Infinite Company is now facing a very similar situation.

The ecosystem of smartphones, the software installed in the future, and the Internet industries involved will all be related to the giant Infinite Company. If their own employees do not have time to consume and experience the products.

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

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

"I know you could have used automated assembly lines to replace most of the workers, but you didn't do that. Instead, you tried your best to create more jobs. Thank you for everything you have done for the country! Thank you!"

"As for the network access permit and various procedures you mentioned, we will ask someone to contact the telecommunications department to help you get it done as soon as possible without delaying your issuance..."

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

This is what he admires most about Chen Weidong. He never pursues profits like other businessmen, but understands his social responsibility and uses his abilities to help more ordinary people.

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

Chen Weidong smiled brightly at this.

Some rules are difficult for him to change by himself. Even so, someone still has to do it, right?

Rebirth seems like a dream yesterday. Unknowingly, he has begun to influence this great era.

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

Even Western countries that pride themselves on being civilized and developed will exclaim when they look at China every once in a while at the magnitude of the changes. On the contrary, he, a person who has been involved in it, is not surprised at all.

It has only been 25 years since the economy opened up, but it has already made such great progress.

Being in the midst of the great changes of the country and the nation, personally experiencing this glorious process and making contributions to it is really exciting.
