Rebirth 2002: Nano Life

Vol 3 Chapter 34: high welfare system

There was a frenzy in the country in September!

Since Xiameng Electronics only provided 2,000 pieces per week, the price was even higher. In the market outside the official channel, the price of one piece was priced close to RMB 5,000.

Like Xiameng Electronics, there is another electronic product that caused the market frenzy, that is, the V3 mobile phone launched by Motorona. The V3 was launched on September 2. When the price was announced on the first day, the price reached a terrifying price. 8800 yuan.

The V3 small only has a unique design as thin as a blade, and contains profound technology and design innovation. It is definitely a magical model that subverts the aesthetic miracle. You must know that this v3 from Motorona ranks among the later generations with a sales volume of 130 million. It ranks third in the world's mobile phone sales rankings, so it has been dubbed the "black technology mobile phone" by the domestic media.

However, if Motorona's black technology is compared, it will inevitably pale in comparison.

The V3 shell is made of advanced aviation-grade aluminum alloy material, and the protective layer of internal components is made of expensive magnesium material, which is 18 times stronger than ordinary plastic.

Both the outer shell and the internal components are made of graphene polymer composite materials, which are light in weight and no lower in strength than aerospace-grade materials. This material was developed by Xia Meng Electronics entrusted by the Materials Laboratory of UCAS, and its design scheme came from Xia Meng Electronics. Therefore, the patents for this new material, Xia Meng Electronics and the School of Materials, UCAS, each accounted for 7:3.

In the domestic version, there are a total of three kinds of accessories composed of graphene, graphene electronic paper, graphene lithium battery, graphene polymer, from these three products, it can be seen that graphene is indeed a universal material, and its application prospects It will also be extremely broad, and it is very likely that one day in the future, graphene will appear in various products of human life.

Therefore, some media wrote a poem:

"Stone pottery, copper and iron compete for the wind,

Silicon is unique in the information age.

Whichever is better in the quantum era,

A piece of graphite stands on the tide. "

When the first generation appeared, the domestic media believed that Xiameng Electronics was a company with great potential, but when the second generation appeared, people really realized that it was a super unicorn company, and its several technologies were connected. Foreign companies are also coveted.

Especially after the ces exhibition, there are too many foreign investors who want to invest in Xiameng Electronics, but for Chen Yizhe, even some domestic investors with official background refuse to go out, let alone these foreign investors. investor.

No, Chen Yizhe and Yang Zhihao sent away the staff from the American Carlyle Investment Group again.

"The noses of these capitalists are more powerful than flies!" Yang Zhihao said.

"Uh, they are flies, so what are we?" Chen Yizhe stroked his forehead speechlessly.

"Our foreign agents have been asking for price cuts for a while now!" Yang Zhihao said.

"The price is not adjusted! The foreign ones have been sold for more than four months, and it is almost time to upgrade. In the future, the foreign ones will be the same as the domestic ones, but they will be named abroad." Chen Yizhe said.

"The price is not adjusted. Even if it is the same as the domestic product, the agent price is still more expensive than the domestic price. It is estimated that the agents will still protest!" Yang Zhihao said.

"For the agents, the high price is not a problem, the most important thing is the market's feedback on the product. At present, it seems that the supply of foreign products is still in short supply. Even if we lower the price for the agents, they will not let consumers benefit in the end. Chen Yizhe paused and continued, "Moreover, as a domestic enterprise, it is a matter of course that it should be more friendly to domestic consumers."

"That's right. Last month, didn't my mother have a heart stent operation? Two imported heart stents cost as much as 75,000 yuan each. I feel that compared with these black-hearted capitalists abroad, the price of the products we sell to foreign countries has already It's much more friendly." Yang Zhihao said.

"If you didn't tell me, I forgot to ask, how is my aunt recovering now?" Chen Yizhe asked.

"I went for a re-examination last week, and the doctor said that the recovery is very good!" Yang Zhihao said.

"That's fine. Based on the per capita disposable income of domestic residents, a heart stent has already topped the income of ordinary people for several years. But how much is the manufacturing cost of a heart stent? 0.5 grams of metal material, even if the processing technology is more complicated, the price is also high. It shouldn't be in the cloud." Chen Yizhe sighed, "In fact, the essence of this excess profit is essentially unequal exchange, which means that the price of manufacturing products is much higher than the value determined by the necessary labor time in society."

Not to mention heart stents, before and after 2000, drum washing machines, microwave ovens, and even mobile phones were actually considered luxury goods, and the high price made ordinary consumers feel ashamed.

"I heard that in foreign countries, this kind of surgery is still free. To be honest, the welfare of these developed countries in Europe and the United States is actually much better than that in China." Yang Zhihao said.

"The so-called free medical care in Europe and the United States actually exists mostly in public hospitals. Take the United States as an example. Public hospitals in the United States only account for 15% of the total number of hospitals in the country. In the face of huge patients, in fact, 15% of public hospitals are far from being able to meet the requirements. People's needs." Chen Yizhe smiled, "And the high welfare of developed countries such as Europe and the United States, do you know where it comes from?"

"Where does it come from? It's not that countries like Europe and the United States are too developed and too rich." Yang Zhihao took it for granted.

Chen Yizhe shook his head and continued to ask, "Then do you know how these countries got rich?"

Without waiting for Yang Zhihao's answer, Chen Yizhe himself had already answered, "After the end of World War II, the 'old imperial system' in which the Western powers relied on plundering colonies was disintegrating, but a new international political and economic order was soon established. They have become politically independent, but they are extremely **** the economy, their productivity is generally underdeveloped, and they need to import manufacturing products, especially high-end manufacturing products. On the one hand, developed countries obtain cheap raw materials and primary products from developing countries, and on the other hand, they use technology The market monopoly constituted by the threshold, selling manufactured products at high prices.”

"And this kind of unequal exchange in international trade has brought excess profits, fattened some multinational companies in Europe and the United States, and supported the social welfare system of Western countries, allowing them to enjoy decades of 'quiet time' .Every western petty bourgeoisie's 'time is quiet' is actually supported by a bunch of cheap 'overtime dogs' like developing countries. It is precisely because of the existence of excess profits that in the more than ten years after the end of the Cold War~ www.wuxiahere.com~Western countries are pushing hard to promote globalization. Therefore, more and more countries are included in the world capitalist system, including our country, more and more cheap 'overtime dogs' to support 'Time is quiet' in the West!"

"According to you, the so-called welfare is actually based on the exploitation of other countries?" Yang Zhihao is not a stupid person, but he reads few books. Now, under the influence of Chen Yizhe, he reads some books every week. As long as some things are broken, he can quickly understand them.

Chen Yizhe nodded, "However, the good days for Western countries to obtain excess profits through unequal exchange of international trade are coming to an end, because the strong competition from "Made in China" is slowly eliminating such excess profits of Western companies. ."

In the future, in the world division of labor system, the top of the industrial ecological chain will no longer be the only Western developed countries. China, the largest developing country, will keep pace with them. Chen Yizhe from the future clearly sees this.

"As long as a domestic company starts to manufacture a certain product, it will turn this product into a 'cabbage price' with a strong production capacity. Various household appliances are actually the best example. This is the best example. Western companies rely on technical thresholds and The excess profits obtained by the monopoly position will naturally disappear.”

"Without excess profits, do you think the existing welfare system in Western countries can still be maintained? The profit margins of Western companies have fallen, and wages have been difficult to increase, which has reduced the tax base of the welfare system, and the aging of the welfare system has increased the expenditure of the welfare system. Rapidly increasing, I'm sure that in the near future, many western countries will be trapped in the quagmire of the debt economy!"

In Chen Yizhe's view, when the productive forces within a society are highly developed, it is the key to the healthy existence of a high welfare system.
