Chapter 545 Asymmetric Equality

At noon, the 506 factory staff canteen.

Because there are many early-retired employees coming to re-employ today, the factory stipulates that all employees, whether they are current employees or retired employees, will take care of their meals for free today.

Most of the employees are very happy, because the factory is obviously rich, and the current employees see hope, and those old employees are about to go to Pengcheng to earn a second salary and live a more prosperous life.

But there are also some people who seem a little out of place.

"Hey, the factory is rich! The winter melon stew actually has oil flowers. I have worked in the factory for thirty years and I have never seen so many oil flowers."

"Okay, Lao Zhou, you don't need meal tickets to eat today, so don't say weird things. Hong Kong-owned guests are watching!"

"Hong Kong-funded customers, Hong Kong-funded customers, what does it have to do with me? I'm a proletarian. I've been working for thirty years. I'm not as good as a new guy. The new guy got into a car on the same day. He's better than the factory director." The car is not bad, but he is used to the bad habits of the bourgeoisie."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you another spoonful of meat. Shut your mouth quickly. Look, those college students are looking at you."

"Which college student looks at me? Which college student looks at me?"

"."

Zhen Rongrong and others quickly lowered their heads and drank the winter melon soup in the rice bowl quickly.

Originally, the factory had invited Zhen Rongrong and others to eat stir-fried food in the canteen, but Zhen Rongrong and others felt that being close to the masses could better understand the contradictions at the bottom, so they refused.

As a result, I saw the scene just now.

This old Zhou might have been an older thorn in the past, but now that others have been chosen, but he has not been chosen, he will inevitably feel resentful in his heart.

Chen Xiaoling saw that old Zhou walking away, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you think this will happen more and more in the future?"

Zhen Rongrong asked: "What's happening more and more?"

Chen Xiaoling hesitated for a moment and said: "There are more and more situations where more work means more gain. Some people do more work and earn much more money than others. Then will there be a middle class like in the West?"

"."

Several classmates looked at the worker brothers around them, but they were silent for a while.

The topic of the gap between rich and poor is very sensitive in overseas capital societies, let alone the mainland, which has just begun to change at this moment?

If it were in school, Zhen Rongrong and others would definitely have a heated discussion, but in this environment, it seems very inappropriate.

In overstaffed state-owned enterprises, technical workers account for at most only half, and most of the rest are "disliked" today.

Those who have grassroots management experience are okay, Pengcheng Fengyu still needs some managers, but those "popular people" who used to be very popular are not even qualified for interviews. They are eliminated after filling out a form.

Instead of worrying about scarcity, we worry about inequality. In the past, these people were either used to eating more and occupying more, or they were used to eating from a big pot. Now suddenly their income is one to two hundred yuan behind others. Can they be mentally balanced?

You must know that the capital has begun to launch welfare housing at this time, which is only three to four hundred and one square meters. What a big number is one or two hundred yuan per month?

"Yes, some people will definitely get rich first in the future,"

No one said anything, but Li Ye said calmly: "The gap between our rich and poor will gradually widen in the future, and in the process of this widening, many conflicts will definitely arise.

And if everyone is assigned to relevant departments after graduation, then you and I are likely to be the ones to resolve these conflicts. "

"Let's resolve these conflicts?"

Chen Xiaoling and others were subconsciously surprised, but then they realized, isn't this what everyone was expecting?

Think about when you first entered school, among a group of young people in their prime, who didn’t “take the world as their own responsibility”?

But after three years of college life, some people still maintain their innocence, but many people have quietly become realistic and tainted with the sophistication of society.

"Li Ye, how do you think we should solve this income gap problem?"

Zhen Rongrong changed the gap between rich and poor into income gap, but the essence of the problem has not changed.

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "The amount of income should be directly proportional to the value created by an individual. For example, Engineer Ni we met this morning, do you know how much value he has created in the past six months?"

Everyone shook their heads. It was the first time for them to see Master Ni today. How could they know his value?

Li Yedao: "I think it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars, or even higher."

"Ouch~"

"What are you bragging about, little comrade?"

"That's right, I just heard the nonsense he said, but I didn't expect it to be nonsense."

Li Ye's words not only surprised several classmates, but also alarmed several worker brothers who were eavesdropping around him.

Li Ye smiled and simply raised his voice and said: "Don't be impatient, everyone, listen to me for two minutes. After two minutes, you can see if I am talking nonsense."

“In February this year, Hong Kong Island Fengyu Company made a promise to Engineer Ni’s technical development team.

If a program-controlled switch that can be mass-produced in the mainland is successfully developed within half a year, the entrusted development fee of US$1.5 million will be paid, which has now been paid. "

"Oh~"

"Oh my God, $1.5 million? Really?"

"This thing doesn't seem to be false. Didn't our factory participate in a key project of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications? It seems to be related to this program-controlled switchboard."

"Hey, hey, hey, little brother, what you just said was tens of millions of dollars, which is far from the 1.5 million?"

The worker who just said that Li Ye was bragging raised an objection again.

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, 1.5 million is the development cost, but do you know how much it cost for Xiamen to introduce a whole set of Fujitsu programmable switches two years ago?"

Li Ye paused, then slowly said, "3.033 million US dollars, even this 3.033 million US dollars cannot cover a city completely, and cannot support the "electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs" we have always pursued.

How many cities are there in the country, and how much demand is there in total? How much foreign exchange can Engineer Ni's research results save us? I said that he created tens of millions of dollars in value, or is it nonsense?"

"."

The people around were silent. Everyone went to elementary school and could still calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

And other people in the cafeteria also noticed the abnormality here and asked in a low voice.

Soon, the gossip that the new Engineer Ni was worth tens of millions began to spread rapidly.

At this point, Engineer Ni's statement that "he will take a car when he arrives" is not controversial at all.

[He is worth tens of millions, so what's wrong with taking a car? If you have the ability, you can also create tens of millions of value. ]

"Bang~"

Someone suddenly dropped a rice bowl in the distance and started to curse.

Li Ye and others turned around and found that it was the old Zhou who said strange things while serving food just now.

The content of his curses was nothing more than unfairness, social regression, etc.

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Income inequality is certain in the future, but as long as we can ensure equality of personality, we can solve most of the social contradictions, so this is the answer to your question just now."

"Equality of personality? What does it mean?"

"It means that everyone is equal," Li Ye said calmly: "Although people have differences in gender, nationality, occupation, economic status, life, etc., they should have the same dignity,"

"For example, I am very rich, but if I punch you, I will also be punished by law. Even if you are a millionaire, if you curse me, you will be criticized by everyone."

"There are differences in income, but there is no distinction between high and low personality"

"."

The surroundings were silent again, and then soon became lively.

"Hey, little brother, you've been talking for a long time, isn't it the same as before? The factory director has a higher position than me, but if he is not right, I will still point at his nose and scold him."

"It's almost the same. If he has the ability, then let him make more money, but we are all equal, no one can bully anyone."

"Yes, yes, yes~, it's almost the same as before"

The people around suddenly became active again, even those who were unwilling to accept the gap between the rich and the poor because of Lao Zhou's provocation just now, gradually balanced their psychology.

You may be rich, but we are still class brothers, and everyone is equal.

And Zhen Rongrong and others also began to discuss lively how beautiful this society will become in the future.

But Li Ye was silent instead.

Perhaps only he knew how difficult it was to maintain this asymmetric equality.

. . . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Ni Dashen and Xiao Yu took a car back to Factory 506.

Xiao Yu got off the car with his head held high. As soon as he saw the arrogant look, he knew that he must have been very proud of his former unit.

Ni Dashen lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and suddenly heard someone greet him.

"Hey, Engineer Ni is back. Do you have any luggage? Do you need help moving it?"

"No, no, I'm not ready to move in yet! Thank you!"

"Okay, okay, let me know when you move! Everyone go to help, don't be polite."

"."

Ni Dashen met a lot of people along the way. Although he couldn't call their names, they basically greeted him happily, as if everyone was very familiar with him.

"Hiss, Xiao Yu, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Why do you care about what's going on? As long as people welcome us, isn't it good?"

"Then why are we popular?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"."

The two science and engineering technical men would never have thought that Li Ye's propaganda in the cafeteria had already made their value clear.

Class brothers who can create value are welcome everywhere, right?
