Chapter 162 I won't be greedy for a penny from you
"Who is this? A rich man?"
"Is this... William, William, president of Eagle Bank?"
"The president has jumped off the building?"
"Then can't we exchange our money..."
"I...why should I come out to watch the fun! My money..."
"My God, am I going to go bankrupt too?"
"Ah! Ah!"
"Why is this happening!"
"Why are you doing this? You'll come out when you come out. William is dead. Even if you line up, what's the use of?"
"well……"
"I shouldn't have listened to the Eagle Bank's nonsense at the beginning. I believe in Eagle Bank vouchers more reliable... Now, even William has committed suicide due to crime!"
"Yes! It's all William's fault!"
"Pooh!"
When the saliva was spitting out, in the cold winter, there was even a white heat. When it fell on William, more people began to spit on William as they followed suit.
When Doug saw this scene, his stern face couldn't help but smile.
Don’t think that these people have done too much. William was even more overdoing when he was still in glory. He has done nothing before.
In this capitalist world, although everyone is walking with two feet, rich people and ordinary people are two species.
Even, in what is now New England, and the entire northern part of the United States.
It is better to say it is industrial slavery than to say it is capitalism.
Why do you say so?
Because serious workers can receive enough rewards and be able to perform consumption behaviors.
In industrial slavery factories, the so-called workers are more like slaves than workers.
They don’t have to consume, but what do they consume?
They consume work meals provided in factories, and jeans they wear when they work.
They have no guarantees, they have to use their meager salary to buy the essentials they need to work.
As for the products they produce, they can't afford it.
These goods, the previous sellers, were firstly relatively wealthy people from their own country, and on the other hand, they were exported.
However, a global economic crisis is already spreading.
There are more and more capitalist industrialized countries, and everyone is following industrial slavery.
Almost all industrial countries cannot consume the industrial products they produce.
At the beginning, when there was only one industrial country in Britain.
Almost all other places in the world with humans are markets they can explore.
Although, after the Industrial Revolution, Britain's production capacity increased by hundreds of times compared with before the Industrial Revolution.
However, the UK has only so many people. Even if it is calculated by 10 million industrial workers, the products they produce can be consumed completely.
However, countries that closely followed Britain's industrialization include France, Germany, Spain and other European countries.
Although Britain has the first-mover advantage, even the colonies it can control only buy British products.
However, the size of the earth is ultimately limited.
Whether it is a backward agricultural country or a backward animal husbandry country.
The wealth they possess is accumulated by production activities over the past hundreds or even thousands of years.
Nowadays, various industrial countries, like gold-swalking beasts, swallow all their precious metals.
The big capitalists are all too much, and they are reluctant to give them to the workers at the bottom.
The products produced cannot be sold, and capitalists feel that they will not produce without profit. Ordinary workers and the bottom class are unemployed without jobs. They cannot afford products and cannot afford products, so they can only continue to stop production. Just like dominoes, they fall one after another, and then fall into a vicious cycle.
In comparison, Doug's approach is relatively more scientific.
The previous capitalists just brutally and rudely fleece. The wool is gone, and they are reluctant to spend money to raise the sheep. The short-sightedness ultimately kills themselves.
Although the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory also provided a lot of profits for Doug, he was not harsh on the workers.
Even, you can eat meat without spending money on working meals.
Of course, meat is not a good meat, it is just steak.
The biggest advantage of steak is that it does not require complicated cooking, just grill the meat steak and sprinkle with sauce.
In this era of cheap beef, it is very suitable for cheap work meals for workers.
In comparison, the cooking methods brought by the ancestors who founded the United States and other subsequent waves of immigrants seem much more complicated.
Even if it is just a potato, dozens of ways to eat it can be developed.
Moreover, in this era, even American cookbooks recorded a large number of recipes for cooking viscera.
Doug's high wages to the workers have even brought a market to a gathering outside the Clayden printing and dyeing factory.
The slum opposite the road of Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory was also rebuilt the house because the workers of Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory moved in one after another, showing that they looked different.
At this time, both the small vendors who set up stalls and the workers who built houses all got more money and had more consumption power.
Although Doug did not make any corrections to the root cause, it has greatly alleviated the symptoms of the economic crisis and even seen some small booms.
However, this kind of prosperity is destined to be a small prosperity.
Because, the products of Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory are not only sold in New Haven, but also in other places.
This is the same as those developed countries in later generations that mastered cutting-edge technology.
Why are they developed?
Not because they work harder now.
It is because they can sell their products to the world with their own technological advantages or patent advantages.
For example, some small countries or even one company can make this country enter the category of developed countries.
Their developed nature is that more poor countries are supporting them.
The relative wealth near the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory is also because of this.
This looks like Doug lost.
However, many people didn't notice it.
Whether it is the goods sold by small vendors or the construction raw materials for construction workers, they actually come from some shops controlled by Doug.
In other words, although he paid more salaries, the money was actually returned to him in the end.
