The contract just signed, President Zhu of China iron and steel industry association received the report of secretary, that side the US has sent in a facsimile, said that must levy 15% punitive tariffs to the China steel products. 合同刚刚签完,华夏钢铁工业协会的朱会长就接到秘书的汇报,米国那边发来了一份传真,说要对华夏的钢材征收15的惩罚性关税。 …… …… President Zhu takes the facsimile document to knock the gate of reception room: „Chief Feng, you expect, that side the US really came this.” 朱会长拿着传真文件敲开会客室的门:“冯总,不出你所料,米国那边果然又来这一手了。” „Is this document the United States International Trade Commission sends in? The overall steel industry, all steel products class products must levy these punitive tariffs, they also really dare to open the mouth.” “这份文件又是米国国际贸易委员会发来的？整体钢铁行业,所有的钢材类产品都要征收这些惩罚性关税,他们还真敢开口啊。” Steel and iron whole of China compared with the small advantage of US, but several types, actually the price with similar of US, is only the US that side output is low, the demand is big. 华夏的钢铁整体是比米国的便宜很多,但是其中有几种,其实价格跟米国的差不多,只是米国那边产量低,需求量大罢了。 It looks like in Feng Yu, US this has gone mad because of poverty, seized an opportunity, wants to nip the next meat. Also is the 50 billion US dollars national debt of because China pledging has not purchased, making that side the US have to offer this bad plan. 在冯宇看来,米国这是穷疯了,逮住一个机会,就想咬下一口肉。或者也是因为华夏这边承诺的50000000000美元国债迟迟没有购买,让米国那边不得不出此下策。 An important reason, that is the tire, steel and iron and other profession of the secret financial groups, is the supporters of cow. Cow naturally must give them the repayment, helping them get a higher profit. 还有一个重要原因,那就是轮胎、钢铁等行业的幕后财团,也都是奥巴牛的支持者。奥巴牛自然要给予他们一些回报,帮助他们获得更高的利润。 Every so often the US must implement any policy, can see some clue from the President back support financial group. For example behind cow has the support of Microsoft, then the US must certainly stimulate the development of software industry. 很多时候米国要实行什么政策,从总~统背后的支持财团就能见到一些端倪。比如奥巴牛背后有微软的支持,那么米国肯定是要刺激软件行业的发展。 Now behind cow has the steel and iron big shot's support, cow naturally must safeguard the interests of these steel and iron big shots. On naturally will not say outwardly, but finds a pompous excuse, for example the worker of steel and iron class are quite many, Washington this is the workers for US is seeking the welfare. 现在奥巴牛背后有钢铁大亨的支持,奥巴牛自然也要保障这些钢铁大亨的利益。明面上当然不会这么说,而是找一个冠冕堂皇的理由,比如钢铁类的工人比较多,华府这是在为米国的工人谋福利。 US that side many profession obviously mechanical efficiencies are why higher, but can the production cost also be higher than China? The basic reason, was their personnel costs is too high. 为什么米国那边许多行业明明机械效率更高,但是生产成本还要比华夏这边高很多呢？根本原因,就是他们的用人成本太高了。 Is the high several times of worker wages of US compared with China? Not, but was their welfare benefits compares China tall Taiduo. 是米国的工人工资比华夏这边高十几倍吗？并没有,而是他们的福利待遇比华夏高太多了。 Welfare benefit most basic was the medical service and retirement, the pension is not no need saying that the wages were high, this was also naturally high, moreover Company subsidy must be more. 福利待遇最基本的就是医疗和养老,养老金不必说,工资高,这个自然也要高,而且企业补贴的也要更多。 Most fearful is the medical insurance of US, US everyone at least has bought more than ten insurances, arriving insurance that almost you can imagine, that side the US has. You cannot imagine, the US also has. 最可怕的就是米国的医疗保险,米国每个人至少买过十多种保险,几乎你能想象的到险种,米国那边都有。你想象不到的,米国也有。 This that side Bo Caiye with US is the same, anything, as if can buy the insurance. For example the singer can buy the insurance for own throat, if which day my throat has gone bad, cannot sing, then safe Corporation must pay indemnity for my damage. 这就跟米国那边的博采业一样,任何事情,似乎都能买保险。比如歌手可以为自己的嗓子买保险,万一哪天我嗓子坏了,不能唱歌了,那么保险公司要赔偿我的损失。 Even said that in your family has raised two, you thought that in going to work, it has possibly destroyed your family|home, this can insuring Corporation similarly buys the insurance. 甚至说你家里养了一条二哈,你觉得在上班的时候,它可能把你的家毁了,这个同样可以到保险公司买保险。 Naturally, each insurance must have the risk assessment, so long as insures Corporation to think the risk to be controllable, they will accept your insurance. 当然,每一份保险都要有风险评估,只要保险公司认为风险可控,他们就会接受你的投保。 The insurance is the financial derivative, these naturally are also the making money tools that the big financial groups do. 保险是金融的衍生品,这些自然也是大财团们搞出来的赚钱工具。 The US has several occupations of high income, we when looked that the Hong Kong movie will also discover, these two occupations not only the income is high, but also is stable, the risk being engaged in the financial industry is much smaller, that is the doctor and attorney. 米国有几个高收入的职业,我们在看香江电影的时候也会发现,这两个职业不但收入高,而且还非常稳定,风险比从事金融行业要小得多,那就是医生和律师。 The attorney is not no need saying that that side the US a view, the law has protected the rich person, the attorneys serve for the rich person. 律师就不必说了,米国那边一直有一种说法,法律是保护富人的,律师都是为富人服务的。 In the US, if you have not insured, was sorry very much that you cannot see a doctor. You caught cold, the doctor inspected, then told you to go back to drink water, only listened to under the heartbeat, has taken under the body temperature, looked has thought of as worthless the conductor, doctor's fee 200 US dollars, has not prescribed a tablet of medicine. 在米国,如果你没有保险,那么很抱歉,你根本看不起病。你感冒了,医生检查一番,然后告诉你回去多喝水,只听了下心跳,量了下体温,看了看扁导体,诊金200美元,没开一片药。 If you hypoglycemia, were not small is led astray hu, was not careful that was called the ambulance by passer-by armor of good intention to you, then you were miserable, could not get down without 1000 US dollars, was only the ambulance takes 700-800 US dollars. 你要是低血糖,不小心迷煳了,再不小心被好心的路人甲给你叫了救护车,那么你惨了,没有1000美元下不来,光是救护车就要七八百美元。 If you grew red, did not meet some doctor unable to understand carefully, then disregarded came a consultation to you directly, then in the bill US dollars of five figures, can make many people rather directly gouge that red point with the knife. 你要是身上长了个红点,不小心遇上了某个医生看不懂,然后不管不顾的直接给你来个会诊,那么账单上五位数的美元,能让很多人宁可直接用刀子把那个红点剜下去。 Many China people said that that side US seeing a doctor small advantage, that by dupe/sway. However all these, if you had the insurance completely to be different. 许多华夏人都说,米国那边看病便宜,那都是被忽悠了。不过这一切,如果你有了保险就完全不同了。 According to the difference of insurance type, many you are do not need to pull out the one cent completely, even if the insurance is ordinary, you are also most only need to pull out 20%. 根据保险种类的不同,许多你是完全不需要掏一分钱的,就算是保险一般,你也最多只需要掏20。 But what do US these workers request Company to buy to insure for them? Reimburses 80% wasn't definitely good, reimburses 100% to suffice? 而米国那些工人要求企业给他们买什么保险呢？报销80的肯定不行,报销100就够了吗？ Insufficient, they must reimburse 120% that because also needs the nutrition fee and wage loss anything. 不够,他们要报销120的那种,因为还需要营养费、误工费啊什么的。 You said that this insurance, can be cheap? Had this insurance, a little has a headache slightly vividly must be hospitalized, insures Corporation to compensate in any case, even some can also make money. 你说这种保险,能便宜了吗？有了这种保险,稍微有点头疼闹热的就要住院,反正保险公司全赔么,甚至有些还能赚钱呢。 Company efficiency decrease, the disbursement must increase, how many Company burdens? 企业效率降低,支出还要增加,有多少企业负担的起？ Therefore on basic , because the living cost of US was too high, particularly medical cost, high oddness. You thought that many China people catch cold like themselves that has a fever buying the medicine, does not hate to go to the hospital. That side the US is so, their family medicine boxes sell special is good, inside is some standing-by cold remedies, the antiphlogistics and antidyspeptic, creates to be possible the post and gauze anything, finally sells for over a hundred US dollars, this links over a hundred rmb not necessarily to sell in China. 所以根本上,就是因为米国的生活成本太高了,尤其是医疗成本,高的离谱。你觉得好多华夏人感冒发烧的喜欢自己买药,不舍得去医院。米国那边更是如此,他们的家庭医药箱卖的特别好,里面就是一些常备的感冒药、消炎药、胃药、创可贴、纱布什么的,结果卖上百美元,这在华夏连上百块rmb都未必卖得出去。 Is the insurance is quite only high, some Company also undertake, but these workers also want other welfare. For example steel mill worker, then high-temperature subsidy must have, but must prevent other possibilities to the damage that the body causes, their series ~ is called the health subsidy. 光是保险比较高,一些企业还承担的起,但是这些工人还要一些其他的福利。比如说钢厂工人,那么高温补贴必须有,还要预防其他各种可能对身体造成的损伤,他们统~一叫做健康补贴。 This subsidy, even is every so often higher than the wages. 这种补贴,很多时候甚至比工资还要高。 In American opinion, the life should enjoy, the work to make money, however makes money, absolutely cannot affect the quality of life. 在米国人看来,生活是应该享受的,工作只是为了赚钱而已,但是赚钱的时候,绝对不能影响生活质量。 You said that what culture you do not have, what skill does not have, but also wants to make money, has not wanted to endure hardship, this reasonable? 你说你没什么文化,也没什么技能,还想赚钱,还不想吃苦,这合理吗？ They believe that if Company main cannot meet their requests, simple, ~ labor! 他们偏偏就这么认为,如果企业主不能满足他们的要求,简单,罢~工啊！ We do not do, making your factory nobody work, a day of loss is not the small number. Initially the Detroit workers ~ the labor, General Motors, Chrysler and Ford car three Company sum totals lost several billions US dollars every day, three days of time, these car(riage) business were forced to compromise. 我们都不干了,让你的工厂没人干活,一天的损失就不是小数目。当初底特律工人罢~工,同用汽车、科莱斯乐、福特汽车三家企业合计每天损失数亿美元,三天时间,那些车企就被迫妥协了。 ~ the labor cannot be cut, will otherwise be sued by the trade union, thinks that your this has to lose fairly, intentional aiming, must fine, wants the high quota the compensation funds. 罢~工是不能被裁掉的,否则就会被工会起诉,认为你这有失公平,是故意的针对,要罚款,要高额的补偿款。 Also is existences of these trade unions, makes the manufacturing industry of US go down hill year by year, because is only these medical services and retirements also has other welfare, made the Company Lord be miserable beyond description, do not say that these people also frequently requested to increase the treatment, Company do not make money, but also increased. 也是这些工会的存在,才让米国的制造业逐年走下坡路,因为光是这些医疗、养老还有其他福利,就让企业主苦不堪言了,更不要说这些人还经常要求增加待遇,企业都不赚钱了,还增加个屁啊。 Many Company because of these bankruptcies, but these workers do not care, they think that the country definitely will solve, otherwise they resist ~ discussed that was noisy the matter. 许多企业就是因为这些破产的,但是那些工人根本不在乎,他们认为国家肯定会解决的,否则他们就抗~议,把事情闹大。 Also because of these, makes many product import volumes of US increase day-by-day, does not import sufficiently. However the import amount was high, Company of their our country is under the impact on be too big, they do not want to make our Company go bankrupt, wants to come out this local protectionism method/trick. 也正是因为这些,才让米国的许多产品进口额一天天增加,不进口不够用啊。但是进口额高了,他们本国的企业受到冲击太大,他们又不想让本国企业破产,就想出来这种地方保护的手段。 Now, is both sides gambles. 现在,就是双方博弈的时候了。 ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
