Chapter Summary
But look at the situation here, they've chosen this location." This is already the most inconspicuous place, I don't even know how to describe it. So many people understand that even if others have different ideas, there's nothing to be afraid of. They also know that this steel group is just a production base, and most of our staff are elsewhere." Their main purpose is to discuss other business matters, so of course they can't stay here all the time.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. In my opinion, a mining company should at least be magnificent and luxurious. Even if it's not in the city center, it should be in a secondary location. But look at the situation here, they've chosen this location."
This is already the most inconspicuous place, I don't even know how to describe it. The rest is another situation. Look at these people inside, they don't look like they're from a large corporation at all, but rather like refugees. I know what they're thinking.
It must be because using these people's funds is cheaper. If that's the case, we can do the same thing in the future. We can learn from them and reduce operating costs. Many people can just have enough to eat, following your approach.
If we use fully automated equipment, it will reduce the number of workers significantly. The naval base will discuss this with you. Although I don't know the details perfectly, I do know that many large corporations need a sufficient number of personnel.
Ma Zhuang looked around and found it hard to believe that this was a large steel group. There were many people dressed in tattered clothes, which was proportional to those dressed in fine clothes. There were about 50 or 60 people dressed in tattered clothes for every person dressed in fine clothes. These people must be the temporary workers here.
These large companies aren't stupid. If they hire permanent workers, their monthly expenses will be much higher, but if they hire these temporary workers, the money they pay them each month will be pitifully small. Everyone can see this very clearly.
If other people have different ideas, things become easier to discuss. So many people understand that even if others have different ideas, there's nothing to be afraid of. Everyone can see the current situation very clearly, and it doesn't matter what others think.
Anyway, that's how we do things. Liu Ning nodded in agreement. Perhaps his previous strategy was wrong. He only thought about rapid production and didn't think about saving the whole society.
Why did Liu Ning have such thoughts? The main reason was that he had far too few hired workers. Look at other places; this one, just the front yard, probably occupies about 1/10 of the entire work area, and it employs nearly 20,000 people. This is the end result.
Moreover, these people clearly don't even have work clothes. They must be people who can't afford to eat outside. They work hard here for several months and only earn about 3,500 yuan a month at most. People like Liu Ning naturally look down on this salary, but for those who can't afford to eat, it's like saving their lives.
It might even have saved their family's lives. These people don't care about their working environment or the quality of their food. As long as they can eat their fill and live a humble life, that's the best outcome for them.
If even this cannot be achieved, then it is truly impossible to know what the future outcome will be. Therefore, these people work hard without complaint and do not raise any objections.
Liu Ning also considered another aspect: the operating costs here are really low. In the past, Liu Ning felt that these companies might be reducing their own profits, but now Liu Ning understands that these companies are different from his own.
Liu Ning's company has taken many shortcuts. For example, the cost of mining in the wild is much lower. Liu Ning can mine directly on the surface, while others have already mined thousands of meters below. No matter what's down there, the cost per minute is dozens of times higher than Liu Ning's, so their profits are obviously not that high.
After Liu Ning's mining operations have been running for a few years, the operating costs will likely increase. The underground conditions are completely different from those above ground. The underground areas must be made as solid as a fortress, no matter what you're thinking. This is something that must be done.
It is precisely because of this situation that everyone can see things very clearly. As for the final outcome, we can only wait and see how everyone fares. Doing our best is the best outcome.
"This must be Councilor Liu. We received your notification earlier, so I've been waiting here for half a day. Councilor Liu didn't tell us when he was coming, so none of the company's senior management are here. They also know that this steel group is just a production base, and most of our staff are elsewhere."
Their main purpose is to discuss other business matters, so of course they can't stay here all the time. I hope Councilor Liu can understand. If there's anything they need, I can pass it on. They can also come in for a visit. I heard that Councilor Liu is also setting up his own steel group recently, so we'll really be colleagues in the future.
"Those of us in the same profession should have a proper conversation. We've been operating here for many years. If Councilor Liu wants to learn from our experience, or even provide you with a group of skilled workers, we can do that. Please come inside and have a look; don't just stand at the door."
A manager-looking man walked out of the door. This guy was incredibly outgoing. Liu Ning didn't even greet him, but the man just came out anyway, speaking with a very nonchalant air. Liu Ning smiled and nodded, but he didn't really know what was going on.
What they said does sound good, mentioning sending experienced workers, but the two mining companies operate on completely different models. You operate underground, while we all use open-pit mining. Even if you send people over to us...
It's probably pointless now, and everyone knows that. If you don't understand that, you'll definitely suffer a great loss. That's why, when something happens, don't look at what the other person says, but look at what they're thinking.
Judging from the current situation, the other side has no good intentions. They just want us to suffer, and they don't care about the final outcome. It's more like a mockery.
