After Bi Ziyan received the order from Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he couldn't help but ponder the moon for a while, then returned to his room and wrote:
“It is indeed a hidden worry to employ nepotism in factories!”
"In this way, we can only find ways to raise workers' awareness and strengthen their education so that they understand the importance of the long-term prosperity of the factory!"
"But if this cannot be avoided, it can only be regarded as the employees' own choice! They chose not to harm human relations, but also to destroy the factory on which they depend for their wealth!"
"This shows that wealth and human harmony are more important in their hearts."
…
"What Bi Aiqing said is true! This is not a bad idea. It is not a choice between Chinese people choosing the harmony of human relations advocated by Confucianism or choosing reason and justice. If more people choose the latter in the future, this can also be regarded as a sign of our Chinese civilization. A transformation.”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said this after receiving Bi Ziyan's reply.
"The so-called world is a common people, which means that we do not only love our relatives, nor only our sons and daughters! The meaning of the saint is originally correct, but the mistake is that later generations have misinterpreted the meaning of the saint, which has changed the culture. The world only cares about human relationships and forgets justice."
Liu Hongxun said at this time.
"Therefore, private firms and factories must continue to be allowed to exist. They also represent a part of the people's hearts, which can be regarded as putting pressure on the employee-owned government-run factories that Bi Ziyan and others experimented with! Once such factories become institutions due to nepotism, If it is redundant, overstaffed, and unable to make ends meet, then they will face the situation of being crushed by these private companies, which will force them to reflect."
Zhu Youxiao continued.
"What your Majesty said is true, but I still hope that factories like Datong Machinery Factory can continue to prosper and decline for a long time, because this means that our Chinese civilization has been tending to the great rule of the world under Yao and Shun, and the teachings of the saints can be regarded as officially in-depth. With the hearts of the people, the prosperity of our country will be the same as that of Yao and Shun.”
Liu Hongxun said something hopefully.
In essence, he is still a relatively traditional Confucian, advocating the classical humanism of Confucianism, and advocating that the world is for the common good. Scholars like Zhang Zai, who proposed the four sentences of Hengqu, although they are also believers in Neo-Confucianism, they are indeed the core of Neo-Confucianism. An idealist who hopes that the world can achieve an absolute harmonious society.
Therefore, Liu Hongxun has a natural affinity for the employee-oriented business philosophy of Datong Machinery Factory.
Zhu Youxiao nodded. He didn't want this model to become a reality.
However, selfishness and greatness of human nature always co-exist, and cannot only exist on one side.
However, in any case, the scene that Zhu Youxiao and other monarchs and ministers were worried about has not yet appeared in Datong Machinery Factory at this time.
After all, the workers are basically northerners who came south with the factory and have not yet fully integrated with the locals. Even some who have married locals have not yet had children, and their children have not yet grown up. Therefore, Datong Machinery Factory is still in a prosperous state and has not yet reached its peak.
Datong Machinery Factory used its advanced technical foundation and skilled technical workers to crazily occupy the entire Jiangnan manufacturing market and luxury goods market, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction and jealousy among private businessmen.
"Sir, this is the pressure cooker from Datong Machinery Factory. The meat stewed in this is indeed much more tender."
When Hu Cunyi, a wealthy businessman, saw his housekeeper Xiwen put a pressure cooker produced by Datong Machinery Factory in front of him, he looked at it carefully and said, "Let the kitchen try this pot of stew."
By noon, Hu Cunyi ate the meat stewed in the pressure cooker and said: "It's really tender. What's rare is how the Datong Machinery Factory made the aluminum pot. Smelting aluminum is more difficult than smelting copper and iron. too much!"
"No, now the rich and powerful are all proud of having the pressure cooker from Datong Machinery Factory! Many companies can't imitate it. As the master said, no one knows how this aluminum can be smelted on a large scale and used to make pots. How can it be used to make pots? You know, an aluminum bowl is usually worth more than a gold bowl!"
The butler replied happily.
"After all, it is run by the government. It really has the Midas touch to turn gold into gold. Can we recruit their craftsmen?"
Hu Cunyi asked.
"I can't dig it out. I heard that Datong Machinery Factory is employee-owned. Employees get dividends and various guarantees. It doesn't cost money to see a doctor or study. The best doctors and gentlemen are there to treat diseases and teach." .”
He replied happily.
“Employee stock ownership?”
After hearing this, Hu Cunyi couldn't help but look solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The existence of such a factory is the biggest enemy of private merchants like us! They have the technology and the employees are the bosses. How can we private merchants compete with them? I’m afraid all the wealth in the world will be made by them!”
"According to the master's wishes, what should we do?"
Xiwen asked.
"We have tried every means to make the Datong Machinery Factory evolve into a factory like ours. It is impossible to directly ask the court to ban the factory. This is the imperial court's instruction, and it is intended to make the workers rich and then guide the world's social customs, but If workers are allowed to get rich, who will want to be a businessman?”
Hu Cunyi said.
I was happy to hear what Hu Cunyi said. Because I am a long-term employee employed by Hu Cunyi, I unconsciously have a good impression of Datong Machinery Factory and do not want such a factory to become a factory that only makes money for the boss.
But Xiwen couldn't express his true thoughts in front of Hu Cunyi, so he just smiled.
After Hu Cunyi thought for a while, he asked about the good news: "You said that if we bought a few well-known employees in Datong Machinery Factory and provided funds to help them buy the shares of other employees, do you think they would refuse?"
After Xi Wen thought about it, although he was a little worried, he still couldn't help but smile on the surface: "Master, you are so smart! This is equivalent to us giving free money to those employees, letting them buy the shares of other employees, and then become the boss ourselves, How could they not be willing to have the factory become their own, a good thing like losing the pie? But those ordinary employees must be short-sighted like many ordinary people. Suddenly they saw that the shares in their hands could be exchanged for money. Who wouldn't want to? If this continues, Datong Machinery Factory will become a factory just like us."
"That's the reason. However, we can't give money in vain, but we must also take some shares. By then, Datong Machinery Factory will also become a cash cow for us."
Hu Cunyi said.
"No one is as smart as the master! As far as I know, the workers committee has the final say in Datong Machinery Factory. As long as we buy out all the workers committee members, this matter will not be a problem."
He replied happily.
"Find out what the hobbies of these staff committee members are, or what the hobbies of their relatives are!"
Hu Cunyi ordered.
"yes!"
…
"You mean, a wealthy Suzhou businessman named Hu came to find you?"
A few months later, Bi Ziyan asked Gu Yanwu who suddenly came to see him.
Gu Yanwu nodded and said: "Yes! He plans to lend me six million yuan of silver coins without interest. His original intention is to let me buy the shares of ordinary employees and help me become the major shareholder of the factory and become the real boss. The purpose is to change Datong The current nature of the machinery factory has transformed it from a factory of the majority into a factory of the majority."
Bi Ziyan's face turned serious after hearing this.
