Chapter 284 Reasonable Profit
A wolf in sheep's clothing?!
Carter didn't even know for a moment whether the other party was scolding him or praising him.
Fortunately, just now I was thinking that they were under great pressure to repay their loans and wanted to increase their wages to relieve the pressure. In the end, they were scolded as cold-blooded exploiters.
Carter has never denied his exploitation in terms of personnel wages and house selling prices, and he exploits both sides. Using large-volume demand as a bargaining chip, he crazily squeezes the profits of suppliers; and then uses unique supply as the basis to increase his own profits.
profit...
But, am I at fault?
On the supplier side, if there is no such order, they will have to reduce production, lay off employees, sell off factory equipment assets at low prices, or even go bankrupt! With the order provided by themselves, they may not be able to bring about much change, but at least they have also given them a chance to survive.
, so that they can live longer, right?
On the consumer side, it's just like what Kane grasped. The company can lower the supply price, that's the company's ability, and it's a conscience if it doesn't shoddy products, not to mention the high profits it charges are to create the next round.
Prepared for demand.
On the surface, it seems that I am still thinking about the livelihood of these people. But in this cycle, as a capital party, in the process of mobilizing resources, I will be able to capture more and more of my own part!
And this is also the root of the love-hate relationship between many people in many countries and towards capital!
Without capital, you simply can't do these things. It's like a machine. If it lacks the driving force, no matter how low its energy consumption ratio (risk, difficulty of completion, etc.) is, it will not be able to run.
stand up.
But once capital is involved, in the process, even if there is no exploitation, the accumulation of capital is inevitable. Just as in this matter, Carter himself understood that starting these projects by himself was just chasing ducks from the beginning.
Putting it on the shelves is a last resort.
But as I kept doing it, I suddenly realized that my capital seemed to be getting bigger and bigger...
Once in gold futures, relying on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and relying on dozens of times of high leverage to get the money, only less than 30 million actually circulated in my hands. But in this matter, I almost lost a cent.
The money was not released, but I just used my influence to mobilize the allocation of resources. But after the house sale money is collected in full...
Thirty million!
Carter didn’t know whether this should be called capital surplus or what, but in short, he seemed to be doing good things. But as he continued to do them, hey! He became even richer?!
If there were no tight restrictions, and if you allowed yourself to continue to make such huge profits, your capital would be...
"Well, that's a good scolding! I'm just sucking blood. I'm not just sucking your blood, I'm also sucking other people's blood!"
Facing everyone's gaze, Carter bluntly admitted his situation. Amid the uproar and Owens' slightly confused eyes, Carter continued:
"But you only saw me sucking blood. Has anyone ever seen me making blood?"
"The economic malaise can be seen and felt by all of us. But here, in Douglas, look outside! Without my crazy blood-sucking and blood-producing here, would this place be as prosperous as it is today?
?Can you have this job now?"
Carter walked slowly among the crowd. The Chinese soul in his bones made Carter not very adaptable to flaunting himself in the crowd. Moderation and modesty were often promoted by doing things in a low-key manner and rarely emphasizing being a high-profile person.
But this approach simply doesn’t work in the United States...
"No matter whether you are satisfied with the current job or not, whether it suits your taste or your major. But at any rate, it exists, and I am paying my monthly salary as scheduled!"
"For such a huge project, there are more than a thousand of you. I don't think I need to tell you exactly how many people are working on it. You know it well..."
"In this case, did I reduce your salary? Did I lay you off? Did I punish you for not working hard?"
"No!"
Kane very smartly opened his mouth and shouted, helping Carter to heighten the atmosphere...
"I know it's not your fault! It's not that you are unwilling to work hard, it's just that the market demand is too little, so little that there is no need for so many labor forces!"
Quietly giving Kane an approving look, Carter continued his impromptu speech:
"To solve this internal problem, what should I do? What should you do? There is only one answer: increase demand!"
"Only when the demand is strong, the workload can be saturated, and there can be enough profits to support a company to continue to pay wages to its employees. I think you have all heard that a highway will be built south of Douglas City soon..."
"This project was initiated by me, just to find more jobs! Let more people and everyone have a job! Money! Bread to eat and milk to drink!"
"But where is the money for road construction? Where does the money come from?!"
"For this road, I took on hundreds of millions of dollars in loans..."
"Like you, I have two shoulders to carry a head. Who is more valuable than the other? Do you think a loan of 50,000 or 40,000 US dollars is too much, don't I have a small amount?"
"I don't ask you to understand my difficulties, I'm just telling you a fact! If you want to buy a house at a low price, you can! But from the moment you buy the house, you must voluntarily terminate the labor contract! Because without profit, I can't support so many people.
people..."
"In times of crisis, all we can do is work together. Now you have paid more, but in the not-too-distant future, I will take you to earn back ten times! A hundred times! You can regard this as a life cycle.
Gambling."
"If you are willing to leave with Carter Black, go to the financial officer next door to pay the money and move in! If you are not willing, go to the legal officer, sign a voluntary termination agreement, and then buy a house at a low price. I won't stop you!
Everything is voluntary!"
Carter seems to be putting two choices in front of people, but in fact it is still one choice.
Buying a low-price house means losing your job, so the value of the house will no longer exist. They came to Douglas just to work. If they don't have a job, why bother leaving their hometown?
"Wait a minute, Mr. Black! You are confusing the concept. Since it is voluntary, why is it bound to the right to purchase low-price houses? Your approach has no legal basis! In addition, it is not that we do not understand your difficulties.
We know you are doing good things. You are sucking blood no matter where you are. As long as you are doing the things you say you are doing, we are willing to support you and provide you with profits."
"What we object to is only unreasonable profits! We will retain reasonable profits without you having to tell us!"
There is indeed no legal basis for binding the right to purchase low-priced housing with voluntary termination of labor relations. But Carter feels that his words have been made clear enough...
"Mr. Owens, please tell me what a reasonable profit is? Also, can the reasonable profit you talk about be able to do things? Is it enough to restore the economic downturn? At this moment, without integrating superior resources,
Huge funds are used to prescribe the right medicine, and the only way is chronic death!"
"I checked the information on the real estate industry in the United States. When the economic environment is good, the average profit rate of the real estate industry is 12%; when the situation is bad, it is usually only about 8%. I took the median value and retained 10% of the profit for you.
I think this is a reasonable profit..."
