In fact, it is a conflict and impact between several different groups.
There are Chinese entrepreneurs represented by Cao Dewang. This entrepreneur is an absolute "Chinese" entrepreneur. Smart, sober, oppressive, restrained, absolutely confident. They never fight unwinnable battles. What you want, what you don't want, you don't say it, but you know it clearly in your heart.
There are laid-off workers who have experienced the heyday of the United States. They have experienced the glory of an hourly salary of $29, and they have also experienced the embarrassment of living in the basement because they can't pay the car loan and mortgage, but when they are excited to welcome new job opportunities, they think they can continue At the time of the "American Dream", no one knows where tomorrow will lead.
There are workshop workers from small counties in the 18th tier of China. They work 12 hours a day and take 1-2 days off every month. Their wives and children are far away from their hometowns, and they go back once a year. Family and responsibilities are the foundation of their hard work, and without money, nothing would be possible.
There are also those American management who were invited to China to observe and study. They saw the militarized management of the Chinese factory, the employees of the Chinese factory squatting on the ground without any protective measures, picking up broken glass piece by piece, and seeing the Chinese factory At the annual meeting, employees who did not have vacations sang the praises of the company on the stage, and a pair of employees held a group wedding on the stage. One of them left tears and said, "We all belong to the same planet, but we are so We are divided, but we are one."
And the professional manager who was later replaced, a Chinese who has been in China for 27 years and the United States for 26 years, using the methods that are very familiar to the Chinese - reward, elimination, and coercion, and finally successfully removed the union. Big trouble.
It's an odd sense of balance.
When I'm in everyone's shoes, everyone's actions make sense.
When a new enterprise invests, those laid-off workers start to work again with the vision of a new life. When they feel that their rights are threatened, they turn to seek strength that can help them; as an organizational group, the trade union must collect membership fees. In order to maintain the normal operation of the organization, as a group composed of people, it will naturally form a tendency to force; the existence of trade unions will certainly damage the interests of enterprises, so that enterprises have to retain employees who cannot produce great economic benefits. But the purpose of companies coming here is to save costs and increase profits. With the same salary but not paying more than Chinese workers, they will naturally be eliminated. The poor workers from China have no money to buy houses or cars. , even his wife and children can't live with him, let alone other things? Just work harder and hope to one day be able to go home and build a big house.
And all these balances are broken by the robotic arm at the end of the film. What will the future be like? You are clear in your heart, I am clear in my heart, and everyone is clear in my heart.
