"Niu Yi, what are you doing? Eat."
Su Jing urged, pulling Zhu Biao out of his thoughts.
"Um."
After saying yes, Zhu Biao also quickly finished the food in front of him.
Su Jing is very satisfied. Here, there is no need to worry about waste.
These employees are all ordinary people. They know how happy it is to have enough food.
No one wasted at all, everything was eaten cleanly.
Zhu Biao also ate very quickly. In the past five days of polishing his lenses, he actually hadn't had a good meal.
"Master Su, the students have finished eating."
In just a short while, there was an empty dinner plate in front of Zhu Biao.
Su Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you around the workshop to eat."
Zhu Biao naturally nodded in agreement, and the two of them wandered around the papermaking workshop.
"According to what Master Su said before, wouldn't it be appropriate for all workshops in the Ming Dynasty to have such employee canteens?"
Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.
Since there are so many advantages, wouldn't it be great to promote them?
Su Jing shook her head and said, "Of course that's not possible."
"Why?"
Zhu Biao asked: "If what Master Su said is that those workshop owners just want to exploit the people, the students would not think it is that difficult to handle."
Who is Zhu Biao?
He is the Prince of Ming Dynasty! The future Lord of Ming Dynasty.
If it is difficult to implement something that harms the interests of all officials and gentry, Zhu Biao is still confident in the implementation of the decree by these businessmen.
"Niu Yi, it has nothing to do with this."
Su Jing was a little dumbfounded. Her disciples seemed to be much more "domineering" now.
Is it because of what happened with the glass last time? He was allowed to be himself, but now he can really be himself.
"Master Su, please clear up the confusion."
Zhu Biao said seriously to Su Jing.
He really thought about it and thought that Su Jing's idea of the employee canteen was a good one.
At this time, the two of them happened to arrive at the place where the paper was produced. Although the training had been suspended for the past few days, the paper they had posted before was still here.
Bamboo paper is delicate, white and quite beautiful.
In the market, there is never any worry about selling.
Su Jing's fingertips scratched across the surface of the paper, making a rustling sound.
"Actually, it's very simple. Because the profit of this paper is high enough, I can set up a staff canteen."
Su Jing said slowly: "If I change it to other low value-added things, I just want to do it, and I have to have money."
money!
This is the most fundamental reason.
Su Jing is not a saint, and she did not open a paper mill to do good deeds.
For a staff canteen, even if he owns a restaurant, the price of raw materials will not be very high, but it is still a large expense.
If it's not something with high profits, it won't be possible.
For example, the previous sweet potato workshop was very profitable, but it followed the path of small profits but quick turnover.
Zhu Biao was stunned. This truth is actually very simple.
After a little thought, you can figure out the key.
money!
Or money!
If you have money, anything can be done easily.
"How about it, you understand."
Su Jing said with a smile: "So, if you really want people to live a prosperous life, after ensuring food and clothing, you have to engage in high value-added industries."
High value-added?
Low added value?
Zhu Biao was keenly aware of the two words Su Jing said, and hurriedly asked: "Master Su, what does this added value mean?"
Su Jing explained: "In fact, it means similar to profit. To put it more carefully, it is the value newly created through effective labor in the production process based on the original value of the product, that is, added to the original value of the product. new value."
"High added value mainly refers to products with relatively high input-output, higher technical content and higher cultural value than ordinary products, greater market appreciation, and higher profits."
"Low added value is the opposite concept to high added value."
This thing can be regarded as Su Jing's old profession. After he became CEO in his previous life, he even took special classes for further training.
I still remember these basic theoretical knowledge.
In fact, until now, Su Jing feels that the classes she signed up for in her previous life were actually a lie.
It's of no use at all. What the teacher taught is not as good as what I understood in the mall.
Zhu Biao listened carefully and memorized it.
"Then Master Su means that we should produce more high value-added goods to make more money, so that the people can have money."
Zhu Biao said with confusion on his face: "But Master Su, I remember you said before that most of our people in the Ming Dynasty have no money."
"These high value-added products can only be consumed by a small group of people, so the market is limited!"
"This will not bring any real changes to the people."
After all, the Ming Dynasty was still an agricultural society, and the consumption power of most landlords was based on exploiting the bottom farmers.
No, I should say basically all of them.
"Very good, you are very good at thinking!"
Su Jing praised, and then said calmly: "That's why I said before that we would open overseas. Overseas is a vast market."
"This world is so big, and there is not only one Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be bad to use our products to make money from other countries?"
"When the wealth in the Ming Dynasty's social system increases, there will naturally be more that can be distributed to the people."
Here Su Jing also chatted casually with Zhu Biao. If we talk about the fundamentals, it is still one thing, the improvement of productivity.
Open the sea!
This is the second time Zhu Biao heard Su Jing talk about opening the sea.
Compared with the cautious words and deeds the first time, Zhu Biao thought extremely seriously this time.
Is it possible to open the sea?
"Then according to Master Su, if the Ming Dynasty opens the sea, how should it do it?"
Zhu Biao asked again. It had become his habit to ask Su Jing when he was in doubt.
In fact, when he asked this question, he already agreed with the matter of opening the sea.
"Ha ha."
Su Jing smiled and said: "This matter is not something I have to consider. I have said before that the opening of the sea is not only an economic event, but also a political event. I am a businessman. I have no opinion on this kind of thing."
In other words, just chatting casually with Zhu Biao, although Su Jing knew that Ming Dahai would definitely be beneficial.
But it cannot be denied that Lao Zhu has his own considerations for the current maritime ban policy. If this is to be changed, it will not be a matter of a few words.
Su Jing never thought that she could change Lao Zhu's mind, so she never thought about this issue in detail.
Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed across Zhu Biao's face, but Su Jing had never thought about it.
But if he thought about it carefully, after all, this maritime ban was personally formulated by his father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
If you want to open the sea, the first thing you have to pass is Zhu Yuanzhang's test.
too difficult!
Su Jing didn't know what Zhu Biao was thinking, so she just continued to lead him inside the paper mill. Now they came to the pool where the raw materials were soaked.
At this time, many bamboos are still being soaked in the soaking pool. This process takes a long time, so even if the workshop is temporarily suspended, the pool is not shut down.
"I have to say, papermaking is really a great invention!"
Su Jing looked at the bamboos in the pool and thought of the white papers she had just seen, and felt inspired.
Among the four great inventions, Su Jing believed that papermaking was the most important.
It can record text and spread information. This is a landmark invention that continues the wisdom of human civilization.
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "What Master Su said is absolutely true."
As a prince who reads a lot, Zhu Biao naturally understands the importance of paper.
An hour passed like this, and Su Jing appeared on the platform in the center of the factory again.
The workers below the stage were all uniform, and they all looked at Su Jing.
This shocked Zhu Biao, because Su Jing didn't even summon these workers, and they came by themselves when the time came.
There is no strict supervision or severe punishment.
Zhu Biao was really curious about how Su Jing did it.
"Okay, everyone is here."
Su Jing cleared her throat and said to the employees in the audience: "I know that you come to me to support your family and survive."
"But I hope you're not just trying to survive."
"We are a paper mill with great pursuits. I hope everyone here can live a better and better life."
"Make better paper, sell it for more money, and your wages will be higher!"
Su Jing started preaching about corporate culture. Of course, he didn't talk too much about cultural construction, so that was enough.
What the workers are most concerned about is how long Su Jing's papermaking workshop can be run, and how long the wages and meal benefits can be maintained.
Therefore, painting cakes is particularly important.
Draw a beautiful blueprint so that they have a sense of belonging and understand that work is not just for the living, but that there is a better life waiting for them ahead.
That's not just a little extra salary, but also equity incentives. Of course, equity Su Jing explained the meaning in a different way.
I have to say that these words of Su Jing were like a curse to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In this era where having enough food is the greatest happiness, the future blueprint described by Su Jing is a place even better than heaven.
Their eyes were full of fanaticism, like devout believers of Su Jing.
Zhu Biao listened on the side, and his thoughts were guided by Su Jing's words, and he took it in bit by bit.
Gradually, he seemed to have become one of the employees below, shouting slogans along with Su Jing.
About half an hour later, Su Jing was also tired from shouting.
"Okay, that's it for today. You can go back and rest. Believe in yourself. The bright future is in your own hands!"
After concluding her remarks, Su Jing came down from the platform, took a few breaths, and shaved off the rosiness on her face.
This change was so fast that Zhu Biao was dumbfounded?
"Master Su, you."
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Su Jing glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "What? Niu Yi, is that weird? You seemed to be shouting slogans along with those workers just now. Do you think I look like a liar now?"
Zhu Biao hesitated and said, "Students dare not doubt the teacher."
Su Jing smiled and said: "You are still not honest enough. I even felt like a liar just now. How can you not doubt me?"
Um?
Su Jing's words made Zhu Biao a little confused.
What does it mean?
Is Su Jing really a liar?
"Master Su, you're not really lying to those workers, are you?"
Zhu Biao couldn't believe it.
In his heart, Su Jing is a businessman who cares about the people. His mother also warned him that Su Jing is a pure person.
Now that he said such words again, Zhu Biao didn't know what to do.
Su Jing immediately shook her head and said, "Of course not. Everything I said on stage was true and I never deceived them in the slightest."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was even more shocked: "Master Su, the benefits you mentioned, and the subsequent things, such as the distribution of equity and the distribution of income, are all true?"
It was precisely because he had listened carefully just now that Zhu Biao felt that it was an exaggeration. If Su Jing said it, the paper mill might belong to those workers in the future.
This was also the reason for his doubts.
Su Jing said lightly: "Why can't it be true? Just because you haven't seen the reason, someone will hand over the business they have worked so hard to build to others, right?"
Zhu Biao was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, Master Su, and you also said that greed is human nature and cannot be changed."
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "You are right, but how do you know that I am not doing this for my own benefit?"
