Little things!

Of course it won't be a trivial matter, at least something that can make Mu Xiangyue regard it as a matter of fact, but it is really no trivial matter, not to mention that for Mu Xiangyue who upholds the belief that "there is no trivial matter above the shopping mall", there has never been any trivial matter.

What's more, this matter is not a trivial matter in the first place.

"Zhiyuan, look..."

While talking, Mu Xiangyue took out a shirt from the drawer. The style of the shirt was very simple. It was just a simple white shirt. There seemed to be nothing novel about it.

But looking at that shirt, Li Zicheng had a rather pleased smile on his face.

The reason why he laughs is very simple. This shirt is his "invention". No, to be precise, the "one dollar shirt" produced by thousands of factories in China is his invention.

"One dollar shirt", for people of this era, it is difficult for them to imagine the role of "one dollar shirt" on future generations. "One dollar shirt" once changed the economic structure of the world.

Historically, after the Second World War, the Japanese economy, which was hit hard by the war and almost collapsed, relied on the Korean War to recover. However, with the end of the Korean War, the Japanese economy fell into difficulties again. It was at this time that the Japanese industry

After provincial officials inspected the U.S. market, they determined the "one-dollar shirt" policy and successfully reduced the cost of shirts by more than 80% by taking advantage of Japan's relatively cheap labor force at the time, export tax rebates, and the adoption of new technologies.

, in the past ten years, the Japanese economy has achieved a comprehensive recovery precisely through the "one dollar shirt".

More than one billion "one-dollar shirts" each year not only provide Japan with valuable foreign exchange for economic recovery, imported equipment, and technology introduction, but also provide Japan with as many jobs as possible because it is a labor-intensive industry.

It solved Japan's domestic employment and economic problems after the war.

Shirts in the 1950s, home appliances in the 1960s, and cars in the 1970s. A step-by-step development every decade changed the entire Japan. In the end, after three "God-blessed" developments, Japan's post-war economy

It achieved success in all aspects. It can be said that it was the "One Dollar Shirt" that laid the solid foundation for Japan to become the world's second largest economic entity in the 1980s.

In this process, the "One Dollar Shirt" has become a fundamental factor in the economic rise of Asian countries. For those economically backward countries and regions, the "One Dollar Shirt" with low investment and quick results is the best investment project.

Due to Japan's industrial transfer, Japanese manufacturers spread it to various Asian countries, making great contributions to the economic rise of Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaya and other places.

In the late 1970s, China's reform and opening up also took over the baton of "one-dollar shirts" that was originally carried out by Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places. Benefiting from the industrial upgrading and industrial transfer in these regions, in just ten years,

Achieving a sharp change in the country's economy from almost collapse to full recovery, and in the following ten years, it developed into a "world foundry". Of course, the only flaw is that - in thirty years, there was almost no fundamental

Although there are signs of sexual industrial upgrading, until thirty years later, they are still singing about "cheap labor". Regardless of the increasing prices, they just want to export cheap ready-made clothes and blindly ignore the actual reduction of labor costs.

However, no matter what, the seemingly inconspicuous thing "one dollar shirt" has changed Asia, changed the world economic structure, and also changed the world political structure. This is something Li Zicheng cannot deny.

The introduction of the "one-dollar shirt" was just a coincidence. From the early days of Lianyungang's construction, Li Zicheng tried to build an "industrial port city." This city focused on the development of heavy industry, and the demand for male labor was relatively far away.

Higher than female workers, and even the ratio of men to women once reached 30:1. The shortage of female employment positions will not only affect the future development of Lianyungang, but will also bring about a series of social problems...

Although in order to solve these problems, in addition to setting up garment factories to recruit female workers, rayon factories, textile factories and other factories have also emphasized the use of female workers. However, the positions provided by these factories are still far from the male positions in the rapidly developing heavy industry enterprises.

A large proportional difference.

Eventually, the "one-dollar shirt" came into Li Zicheng's sight. After solving a series of technical problems, he began to set up a factory to produce "one-dollar shirts." Shirts are a must-have item in men's wardrobes in Europe and the United States. Through "cheap tactics"

In just half a year, the one-dollar shirts went from being dismissed by many people to the final frantic buying. In the four years of the Republic of China, as many as 250 million "one-dollar shirts" were sold in the U.S. market alone. And that year, through

Deliberately planning, hundreds of factories producing such shirts are distributed in more than a dozen "industrial towns" along the Longhai Railway. The employment of hundreds of thousands of female sewing workers has changed the gender ratio of men and women in the industrial belts along the line, making those industries along the line

The belt has completed its transformation from "factory" to city.

Subsequently, with low investment and quick results, the "One Dollar Shirt", which can be said to be a model of the "short-term, flat and fast" project, spread from Longhai to coastal areas and Guangdong. In the past year, it laid the foundation for the "industrialization" of various places.

He has made great contributions. Now, looking at this hero of "industrialization", how can Li Zicheng not smile?

"This is our hero!"

Taking the shirt, Li Zicheng sighed and said, not only the hero, but even himself was wearing this "one dollar shirt".

But when he received it, Li Zicheng unexpectedly discovered that this shirt was not exactly the same as the shirt he was wearing. Although the style was the same, it was still different. In addition to the inferior materials, the workmanship was also different.

, the stitches seem a bit too big, the collar, the inner support of the sleeves seem...

"this……"

After touching it carefully, Li Zicheng said as if he had some realization.

"Japanese goods?"

After "one dollar shirts" became popular in various countries, Japanese companies also invested in the production and manufacturing of "one dollar shirts". However, limited by technology, the quality of their shirts was far inferior to those made in China. Because of this, they often

Buyers from various countries are more willing to import "one-dollar shirts" made in China, and Japanese products are only a last resort choice.

But when he finished speaking, he turned over the collar label, and Li Zicheng still saw the "a" that he specifically requested. Every product made in China must be marked with an "a". Is this a Chinese product?

That’s not right!

Although the "one-dollar product" is the cheapest product with the lowest technical content produced in China, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has not relaxed its quality requirements just because it is the cheapest product. It is precisely because it is the cheapest,

It has the lowest technical content, so it is also the product with the widest audience. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will formulate strict product quality specifications to ensure its quality and lay the foundation for the popularity of "a" around the world. But now, this

A shirt, but it seriously affected the image of the "one dollar shirt" in Li Zicheng's eyes.

"This is..."

With a violent tear, there was a sound of the cloth being torn to pieces. Li Zicheng was shocked. What, what is going on? The material used is too poor. Perhaps, the quality of the "one dollar shirt"

Generally speaking, it is far from being compared with those three or four dollar products in Europe and the United States, but it is not much different, otherwise there would be no current market at all. But now, this shirt is basically a tablecloth!

"Ouchu. What's going on?"

The "tablecloth" in his hand only made Li Zicheng's face become extremely ugly.

"Prime Minister, this is indeed produced by a domestic manufacturer!"

Mu Xiangyue's face was also not very good-looking. This shirt was sent by a friend of his in Nanyang...

"Can……"

"Prime Minister, in addition to this shirt, there are also some other products, hundreds of varieties. They all have one thing in common, the quality is very poor!"

“The quality is very poor? Are there other products?”

His brows suddenly jumped. Li Zicheng did not expect that there would be such low-quality products, not just shirts.

"Yes. Rubber shoes will peel off after being worn for a month, and the cloth surface will wear out easily. The raincoat will leak when exposed to heavy rain. Even the soap is fake..."

"How is it possible? Doesn't the Ministry of Industry and Commerce conduct random inspections of exported products at the customs?"

"Sampling inspections are just a measure and cannot randomly inspect all sales channels. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce's random inspections only sample export products. There are not many random inspections in the domestic market. Now the domestic market is flooded with a large number of inferior products!"

Looking at the Prime Minister, Mu Xiangyue noticed that his face became very ugly, especially when he mentioned the "domestic market", there seemed to be some anger on his face.

"Prime Minister, of course, in the past two years, China's industry and commerce have developed rapidly, especially after the European War. The emergence of the seller's market has directly led to huge profits in the industrial sector, and has formed a "golden wave."

However, while the "Golden Wave" trend promotes the development of domestic industries, the disorder it brings needs to be paid more attention to. Many small and medium-sized enterprises that have risen rapidly in the "Golden Wave" have their own technical strength and market share.

Unable to compete with big companies, they tried their best to take advantage of the cracks. Not only did shoddy products flood the market, but there were even many fake and shoddy products. After all, the current market is a seller's market, and people simply don't have many choices. Not only that,

These inferior products are even exported overseas through the southwest region. Compared with the strict customs inspections along the coast, the customs inspections there are simply for show. Those fake and shoddy products are flooding into Southeast Asia like a tide, directly affecting the "Made in China" policy.

"For the reputation in Nanyang and other places, fortunately, land transportation is less, but in the long run, it will definitely have an extremely bad impact on Chinese manufacturing..."

As a businessman, Mu Xiangyue is well aware of the "brand" effect. The reason why the Ministry of Industry and Commerce continues to promulgate strict industry standards and product standards is to standardize product quality, and through quality control, improve "China's

The reputation of "Made in China" ensures that products made in China are not "extremely troublesome" Japanese products. However, this kind of control is aimed at overseas markets, and the loosening of the domestic market directly leads to these current problems.

On the surface, it seems that this is just a domestic problem, but over time, with the development of those enterprises, a situation of "bad money drives out good money" will inevitably form in the market. By then, China will

The reputation of "Made in China" will be completely destroyed, and the reputation of "high-quality Made in China" that the company has worked hard to build over the years will, if not cease to exist, at least be seriously affected.

Because of this, in Mu Xiangyue's opinion, this is a big deal!

"What a bunch of bastards!"

Li Zicheng, whose face was filled with resentment and injustice, uttered an extremely unpleasant word.

"That's not how these sons of bitches make money!"

The reason why there is such anger is ultimately due to one reason - later generations. It is due to the anger towards China's "double standards for export and domestic sales" in later generations. More than one billion Chinese people in later generations can be said to have suffered deeply from it. In later generations of China.

The first-class products are exported to the United States, the second-class products are exported to Europe, Japan and South Korea, the third-class products are exported to other countries, and the fourth-class products are for personal use. Even worse than this, they even deliberately set up two production lines, one specializing in the production of export products.

Using the best raw materials, the best technology, and the best workers. The other line produces products for domestic sales, using the worst or even toxic raw materials...

Even food is subject to double standards. What is exported to foreigners is always the safest, while what is sold in the domestic market is not only of the worst quality, but is also deliberately fraudulent for the sake of profit, and does not hesitate to poison the people. Even infants and young children.

This is true for all milk powder products, and even some factories are not ashamed of it, but proud of it. Overseas, Hong Kong swears to them that the quality and inspection of their exported products are ten times, or even a hundred times, that of domestic products, guaranteeing that there will be no quality problems.

question.

So much so that in later generations there was a saying: "Get up in the morning, lift off the black cotton quilt, buy a few gutter oil fried dough sticks, plus two Sudanese red duck eggs, have a cup of melamine milk, and at noon, have a portion of clenbuterol pork stir-fried with pesticide leeks. And another portion of artificial leeks.

Glue-injected beef, brew a pot of flavored tea; in the afternoon, eat a few sulfur steamed buns, and drink a few sips of methanol-blended white wine; in the evening; when I feel uncomfortable, I take a few leather capsules, and I'm still alive... Chinese people have suffered from evil spirits for many years

The experience of quilts, melamine milk, Sudan red, gutter oil, dichlorvos ham, methanol liquor, formaldehyde beer, and dioxane shampoo. Coupled with ancient Chinese medicine and Zhouyi body care, it has already evolved into a kind of medicine that is completely different from human beings.

Different, a brand new species that is invulnerable and invulnerable to all poisons." But who can laugh at this kind of joke?

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly, pull out all those damn profiteers and shoot them..."

When the words fell, Li Zicheng, who was extremely angry, realized that he had made a mistake. Maybe he had been victimized by it, or maybe it was because his friends around him did not dare to use domestic milk powder after having children because of fear.

Li Zicheng hates fake and shoddy products from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, he had no power or ability to stop all this, but now, he believes that as long as he is willing, he has the ability to stop all this. The reason is very simple. The reason why fakes are prevalent in China in later generations has even become a "country of fakes".

In the final analysis, there is only one reason - unfavorable supervision!
