Chapter 1157 Manufacturing Tax Reduction
After spending a peaceful New Year in his hometown, Zhou Shi found that he was not so afraid of an unpredictable future. After all, his advantage had been established, and even if he did nothing, he could still glorify his life. So even when facing various oppressions from the US imperialists, he still had no fear.
Tramp's disgust towards Zhou Shi is well-known. Even though he said later: "I don't hate him himself, but I hate him as a family member of the Flower. If he was a member of the Lighthouse, I would give him the greatest respect...", he still suppressed Zhou Shi a lot, such as the cloud computing business of the Lighthouse court. Yahoo Cloud Computing did not receive the treatment of Time Cloud Computing, and its development speed was much worse. However, Yahoo Cloud was not good, nor Microsoft was good. This may be a surprise. Amazon and Time have become the dual giants in the public cloud computing market and the choice of most traditional companies.
There is no way, Zhou Shi's strength is strong enough. It is difficult to shake his foundation unless the upper class of the Lighthouse Country reaches an agreement. Besides, although the conservative forces in the Lighthouse Country dominate, the forces supporting internationalization and globalization have dominated the Lighthouse Country for decades and have not disappeared now, so his allies in the Lighthouse Country have not disappeared either. So it is difficult to make a fuss out of nothing like Tramp attacks Star and Huawei...
Zhou Shi has done nothing in Lighthouse Country. He supports Fuyao Glass and other flower-growing manufacturers to set up factories in the United States, and has repeatedly publicly proposed that Lighthouse Country should revive its manufacturing industry and invest in the research and development of advanced manufacturing technologies, which has caused a lot of discussion!
Let the Lighthouse Country develop manufacturing industry, isn’t it a scramble for jobs with the flower growers? Many flower growers don’t understand why Zhou Shi did this. When the Lighthouse Country develops manufacturing industry, the biggest competitor is China. If they are better, will the flower growers suffer losses?
Not to mention whether the Lighthouse Kingdom can develop manufacturing, one thing is certain. Zeng Guofan said, "You can enjoy the blessings, but not the fullest; you can enjoy the expensive ones, but not the fullest" is very reasonable. Flower planters are called world factories and take advantage of global trade. If you want to keep this kind of good thing, you will definitely lose many friends. Especially in the current media, everything others say is wrong, and just criticize a few words and you will sensitively say it is an overseas conspiracy. Is this thinking model normal? Competition between countries, conspiracies and tricks are definitely not normal, but there is no need to be a soldier. This is a very unconfident manifestation.
There are many poor countries in this world. Bangladesh, India, and Southeast Asian countries. If they want to develop, low-end manufacturing is a natural choice and the direction of China's industrial transfer. If the manufacturing industry in the Lighthouse Country wants to develop, it is definitely not investing in these low-end industries, but will stand in front of the development path of the flower grower. This may be the reason why many flower grower's family are dissatisfied with Zhou Shi, but the manufacturing industry is not able to develop well just to want to develop. The welfare and legal protection of workers in the Lighthouse Country are more than twice as good as the flower grower, and basically there are not many companies that can support Jiujiuliu with confidence. The capitalists of the flower grower are different, and Ali's chairman dares to directly support Jiujiuliu!
The difference between legal guarantees and labor costs may be the biggest gap between the two countries. Lighthouse countries have almost no way to make up for this defect. So in Zhou Shi's view, sweater wars and other things are weak. Lighthouse countries might as well use their long-arm jurisdiction to establish a fair competition bill, such as imposing special tariffs on flower planters whose minimum wage standards and employee welfare do not meet the standards, or not allowing them to export to the flower planters, and cannot cooperate with the company of the lighthouse country... Made is really too cruel. If there are really similar laws, one-third of the manufacturing companies of flower planters may fall into crisis due to the increase in costs. Of course, if this is done, the conflict between the two countries will be much greater...
There are so many countries around the world, whether in Asia or South America, whether in countries with rich or scarce resources, except for flower growers, none of them has become the world's factory, and many countries have not even developed manufacturing. Why? Perhaps it can be seen from the cultural tradition that almost all countries with developed manufacturing industries have inherited Chinese culture.
The largest manufacturing powers in the world are flower growers, followed by Lighthouse Country, Fusang, Germany, and South Korea (the manufacturing sectors of these two countries account for about three percent of the world's manufacturing sector.) However, China's working hours are an average of 46 hours per week (the average working hours of people living in Xiangjiang are very close to those of the mainland), South Korea is 39 hours, Lighthouse Country is 34 hours, Fusang 33 hours, and Germany is 26 hours. In other words, the advantages of flower growers in manufacturing are piled up with the lives of a generation. In this regard, European and American countries are almost impossible to surpass flower growers.
However, the protection of workers' rights and interests should be an inevitable trend in a civilized country. The labor cost advantage of flower growers over the lighthouse country is likely to disappear one day. The global manufacturing industry will fall into an unsustainable dilemma. Perhaps one day in the future, many countries around the world will exempt traditional manufacturing from taxes and even subsidies to ensure enough employment and employment. The possibility of such a thing is extremely high. After all, the days when farming does not pay taxes and subsidies were almost unimaginable in ancient times, but now it has become a reality. It is not uncommon for traditional manufacturing to pay taxes and subsidies. Perhaps one day in the future, building a traditional factory (using a lot of manpower) is to do charity...
Zhou Shi will advocate the development of traditional manufacturing in the Lighthouse Country, India, Erros, and South America, and will gradually advocate the local court to provide tax exemptions and even subsidies, because these countries are almost impossible to really achieve breakthroughs in this industry. In the future, advanced manufacturing will be tested, but this industry is destined to use a large number of robots and industrial Internet from the beginning, and does not require much labor.
After considering all kinds of considerations, Zhou Shi publicly proposed in his self-media to significantly reduce taxes on the personal income tax of manufacturing and low-income groups in the beginning of last year! I don’t know what happened, but Tramp praised this. At the end of last year, the Senate of Lighthouse passed the tax reform bill at a proportion. This tax reform plan is said to be the largest tax reform bill in the Lighthouse Country in 30 years. The highlight of the plan is that corporate income tax will be reduced from the current 35 to 20. The personal income tax will not only double the threshold, but those with annual income below 240,000 US dollars will be exempted from income tax. What Zhou Shi said has basically been realized...
