"The 'mixing sand' theory? Winning by quantity?"
Director Qin tried hard to digest these two sets of words, and seemed to have grasped the true meaning that Yu Zhen wanted to express.
"Director Qin, in your opinion, is it impossible for our country's future modernization and the Four Modernizations to be achieved without the participation of university students studying abroad?"
"Huh?? Xiao Yu, what kind of nonsense is that?! Our country has nearly a billion people, and the modernization drive requires the hard work and efforts of the entire nation. How can we possibly place all our hopes on a small group? — Uh, kid, are you setting a trap for me again??"
"No, no, boss, please don't wrong an innocent person. When did I ever set a trap for you to fall into?!"
"Go away, get to the point! What exactly were you trying to say with that 'mixing sand theory' and 'winning by quantity'?!"
"Everything in the world, in the end, can be boiled down to problems between people, right?"
"Um!"
"Population is our most advantageous resource, and we should follow this trend and make great use of our population resources."
For example, government-sponsored labor export.
The brightest and most elite groups have gone abroad to study, while the most honest and hardworking labor force cannot be exported as a national strategic resource to those capitalist countries to earn foreign exchange, learn their industrial technology, and gain practical experience in training our industrial workforce.
"Hiss—Huh?!?!" Director Qin's eyes widened in an instant. Hey, this is the real deal.
"Hey kid, don't stop, keep going!!"
"6~~"
"I knew it! You little rascal, you've got the real deal inside you!!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! If I don't completely drain you, you brat, today, I'll take your surname from now on!"
Yu Zhen then went all out and began to talk at length about the so-called "sand mixing theory," and suggested that relevant departments should conduct more comprehensive and positive research and exploration into the huge population advantage of the Chinese people.
Mentioning this aspect actually brings to mind some of the shady dealings of the Indians in another time and space.
After all, going abroad is not only about studying abroad, but also about government-sponsored labor export. In the vast rural and urban-rural fringe areas, there are many unemployed young and middle-aged laborers. If each family could spare one person to go abroad to work and earn foreign exchange through government-sponsored labor export, they could achieve this goal.
These hardworking and diligent Chinese people are like super weapons wherever they go after they go abroad.
Moreover, given the organization, discipline, and the ability of the Chinese people to integrate into the local community and establish themselves there whenever the opportunity arises, they possess a strong capacity for survival.
These are all subtle influences of a major power's soft power!
Yu Zhen used an Indian from another time and space as a case study to give a long talk about the theory of population offsetting and sediment mixing.
The more they talked about this, the more excited they became.
It was as if Watson had discovered a blind spot, and as he continued, he became increasingly convinced that such an operation was indeed a strategic tactic.
Moreover, before its northern neighbor collapses, it can at least enjoy a sweet decade of harmonious coexistence with the United States.
Who says human resources aren't resources?
On the contrary, this is the most precious and irreplaceable resource in the world.
Let's do some calculations. If, during the ten-year honeymoon period, the number of government-sponsored laborers sent abroad each year can reach four to five million, and even increase year by year, let's not exaggerate. At its peak, if the number of overseas laborers could be stabilized at the level of 1 to 2 million.
How much foreign exchange reserves can this alone generate for the country each year?
Ten years later.
At the very least, it's estimated that one person can remit $5 to $6 to China per year.
The foreign exchange earned from this single public labor export program alone can easily reach hundreds of billions of US dollars.
A hundred billion dollars in the 1990s—what a terrifying concept that was!
Of course, this is the best-case scenario.
But in any case, this so-called demographic dividend business can be managed and operated properly.
Take a thousand steps back.
Even if we can't earn such good foreign exchange earnings.
Even if it's just that capitalists have gotten used to the best of the Chinese people's labor skills.
With a ten- or twenty-year employment buffer period, by which time domestic infrastructure will have developed, suddenly there won't be as many cheap and affordable labor dispatch services available. Will capitalists who are used to fine food still be able to tolerate domestic workers who always pursue high welfare benefits?
"Director Qin, by sending workers abroad through government-sponsored programs, we can not only greatly alleviate the tense employment situation in China, but also give more courageous and enterprising ordinary Chinese citizens, who are not highly educated, an equal opportunity to go abroad and see the world."
"Moreover, this move has another major benefit: when ordinary Chinese people who have the opportunity to go abroad and see the world make up the majority, whether overseas is heaven or hell will no longer be the domain of a small group of self-important individuals."
"Xiao Yu, your idea is excellent, but have you considered a crucial issue?"
"What's the key issue?"
"Why would those developed capitalist empires allow our people to take away their ordinary citizens' jobs?"
"Ha, Director Qin, you are completely overthinking this. Didn't it describe it precisely in Capital?"
Capital fears no profit or too little profit, just as nature fears a vacuum.
Capital becomes bold when there is a suitable profit.
If there's a 10% profit, it guarantees widespread use.
It becomes active when there's a 20% profit margin;
With a 50% profit margin, it would take the risk;
For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws;
With a 300% profit margin, it dares to commit any crime, even risking the gallows.
Can ordinary people in a capitalist empire even be called human beings, to put it bluntly?
No, they are just the expendable materials for capitalists to squeeze profits.
Capitalists never talk about putting people first.
""
Director Qin was impressed by Yu Zhen's sand table simulation theory.
Ultimately, his concept of government-sponsored labor export was fully accepted.
"Xiao Yu, even if what you say makes sense—that Western capitalists would welcome the export of our cheap labor—can their governments and officials completely disregard the interests of their domestic workers?"
"Ha, that depends on how our officials handle these issues!"
"What do you mean?" Director Qin was taken aback. "You brat, when did I ever say something like that?!"
However, upon closer inspection, wow, this is clearly a "feigned attack on one side while secretly advancing another" tactic!
Okay, okay, you were so pessimistic and discouraged before, but it turns out you have more tricks up your sleeve than anyone else.
He truly has the makings of a top-tier writer.
"Xiao Yu, to be honest, if you weren't still so young, just based on all the strategies you revealed today, tsk tsk tsk, hey, it's not easy to make any judgments about you right now, but you should have complete faith in your potential."
The future—hey, your future achievements will probably be beyond my reach!
"6~
"Please stop flattering me! I know my own limitations better than anyone. I just often dream about some particularly vivid future scenes in my head. Actually, many things and words seem a bit too fantastical to you, but the truth is often the simplest and most absurd. They're all inspirations I get from my dreams, like the creative inspiration for my science fiction novels—"
Director Qin looked Yu Zhen over with surprise, his voice trembling slightly as he tentatively asked, "Yu, are you revealing your biggest secret to me? You mean you can foresee future events in your dreams—is that what you mean?"
Yu Zhen grinned mysteriously, "Otherwise what! Do you really think I, a semi-amnesiac, am a normal person?! If I said that I was suddenly brought to this world from another parallel universe by alien friends using mysterious spacetime powers, would you believe me, Director Qin?!"
Director Qin nodded vigorously, "I believe you, but you have to introduce me to your alien friend first."
Yu Zhenshai laughed, "Haha, then forget it! My alien friend is introverted, and besides, she has a severe deficiency in spiritual energy. She can't see a second person, otherwise her spirit will be destroyed and she will be permanently annihilated in this space-time."
"Really?"
"Ha, of course it's fake, it's all in my dreams—"
