Chapter 1009: I Can Just Quit
From the development of agricultural land societies to the present day, for thousands of years, the superstructure has been doing one thing to consolidate its position: ensuring that the people at the bottom have enough food to eat.
In fact, to date, we have achieved significant results in poverty alleviation and have almost solved the problem of having enough food.
However, the operating mechanism of the entire society still remains at this level.
Logically speaking, it’s time to consider the issue of “eating well”.
This reflects a major social problem. On a larger scale, it is about class interests and the gap between the rich and the poor. On a smaller scale, it is about information asymmetry and lack of transparency in the area of food safety.
In his proposal at the National People's Congress today, Holly did not mention the old-fashioned reasons such as "profit-driven" and "inadequate supervision", but directly raised the social issues of "having enough to eat" and "eating well".
The meeting place fell into a brief silence.
This topic is too big.
I thought that after Holly raised the question, he would just touch upon it and not go into further analysis, but I didn’t expect him to ask in public, “In the Internet age, information communication has become very convenient, so why can’t the problem of asymmetric and opaque food safety information be solved?
Is it that consumers can’t see it, or that some people don’t want them to see it?”
The representatives present suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and their eyes were blank.
Even Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi... these representatives who had heard Holly's proposal at a dinner party a few days ago were still worried about Holly and held their breath.
The meaning of Holly's words is too profound.
Of course, Holly wasn't stupid enough to continue digging in front of the main leaders.
Leaders are well aware of many things and sincerely want to make changes for the sake of the general public, but when it comes to implementation at all levels, the results are different.
Hawley continued: “In addition to the problem of information asymmetry and opacity, I have another idea of my own that I would like to discuss with you.
At present, the whole society has insufficient understanding of food safety and lacks sufficient moral vigilance and social responsibility. These cultural and educational deficiencies have allowed some improper behaviors to be tolerated. "
The last point is the official rhetoric.
Regarding food safety, Holly seemed to have mentioned only two points, but in fact he mentioned four.
Interests, regulation, information opacity and cultural education.
Thinking around these four aspects, many problems will arise.
I can only say that Holly is too bold to speak out.
Before he spoke, no one dared to imagine that someone would clear up the food safety issue so cleanly in such a solemn occasion and in front of the main leaders.
Everyone was observing the leader out of the corner of their eyes.
The leader's immediate response could determine Holly's fate.
The leader asked Holly to move on to the second proposal.
Holly has let go, just like what he said in front of Jiang He that night, being a saint is the most difficult thing in this society, but being a saint is the highest level of pretense.
Now that you have spoken, just keep pretending.
"My second proposal is about wealth distribution. I suggest breaking down the invisible mechanism and truly achieving fair distribution of more work, more pay."
This is another proposal that makes the younger generation feel cold.
Everyone looked at Holly in surprise and wanted to ask, Holly, do you know what you are saying now?
Holly also noticed their gazes, but the arrow had already been shot and there was no turning back.
The leader asked: "What is the invisible mechanism you mentioned?"
Holly said bluntly: "Take the ranking of our food delivery, online car-hailing... and other industries, the algorithms of major platforms are set.
No matter how hard you work, your hourly income can only be between 30 and 50 yuan.
After you accept a large order, the platform will prevent you from receiving good orders for a long time.
I mentioned these two industries because they can best reflect the real life of the grassroots people..."
Before Holly finished speaking, Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan, and Cheng Wei, CEO of Didi, who are also representatives of the National People's Congress, were stunned.
Don't dare to look up.
This is a suicidal proposal for Hawley because he is also in the ride-hailing business.
Don’t the relevant departments know about these things?
They know it.
There is a very big problem behind this.
No one dares to talk about the bigger picture, but to put it simply, it means that you have food to eat and won’t go hungry, but you won’t be let too full.
Because your opportunity cost is too low. Most of the wealth will be distributed to the elite groups with high opportunity costs.
You can’t let deliverymen earn the same as those working in finance, right?
What Holly mentioned was "breaking the invisible mechanism", but in fact he was talking about the bigger issue of secondary distribution of wealth.
And it is a huge problem of existing class contradictions.
The meeting place was completely silent.
The feeling of all the representatives at this moment was, Mr. Huo, could you please stop talking?
Why haven’t you finished yet?
Otherwise, let’s just end the meeting here today.
But Holly had the confidence to continue.
Take the online ride-hailing industry for example, the Yisu he founded broke the industry mechanism.
Employees not only get more pay for more work, but also enjoy housing security and social security benefits.
This is something that has truly caused a significant response and praise from society.
But he alone cannot break the existing wealth distribution mechanism, and other entrepreneurs and capitalists dare not speak up before there is clear follow-up information from above.
After listening to this, the leader fell into a brief period of thought.
Finally, he smiled and said, "The two issues mentioned by Holly are worth our in-depth consideration."
Then reach out and let the next representative continue the proposal.
Holly breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking, but he didn't know what the outcome would be.
He believed that he had conscientiously fulfilled his responsibilities as a representative and proposed bills based on the actual needs of the people.
The second half of the symposium returned to the normal "you speak and I listen" mode.
Everyone was still thinking about what Holly had just said.
The steps were too big.
It's a bit like taking a risk.
They are reluctant to give up the wealth they have accumulated over the years, so they just present their proposals honestly without participating in debates. They just listen quietly after they finish speaking and leave after the meeting.
Every second sitting here feels like a thorn in my side.
After the meeting, no representative dared to approach Holly or take the initiative to greet him on the dozens of meters from the venue to the door.
Only after he came out did several old friends come up to talk to Holly.
Lei Jun: "Mr. Huo, it's easy to break a window, but it's not easy to decorate the house.
The two proposals you made today may cause quite a stir. Have you thought about the consequences?"
Holly smiled faintly, "It would be nice to buy an island and live a life in Taoyuan!"
What I mean is, at worst I'll just quit.
Anyway, I have more money than I can spend. Even if my domestic businesses go out of business, I still have many industries abroad.
Zhou Hongyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss Huo, I respect you as a man."
Wang Xing said: “No one knows that those of us who are on the wealth list are the ones who live in fear every day.
Mr. Huo's words today actually made me feel much more relaxed."
Holly joked, "You don't blame me for putting you in the spotlight?"
Wang Xing laughed and said, “Isn’t it true that Meituan has been on the trending search list less often?”
He has indeed been hiding very deeply in recent years.
Everyone smiled and went to a restaurant together. Lei Jun hosted the party and they had a private gathering.
When Holly stepped over the threshold today, he was fully prepared mentally.
The two proposals are actually intended to test the attitude of the higher-ups. If the attitude is positive, the content of his proposals will soon be broadcast through mainstream media.
Today’s proposals by influential representatives from all circles will be broadcast for the public to monitor and discuss.
If his proposal had not been broadcast, it would have made the problem clear. As he himself said, he was going to buy an island and live a carefree life.
