Chapter 1541: Chapter 52: Warning_3

Delaine’s words poured cold water on Gorishon’s head, after all, no enterprise likes government intervention and interference.

Gorishon asked Delaine: "Does the government even have to control how much salary I give to my workers? I provide them with a livelihood, and they work for me, it’s simply a willing employer and a willing worker. Therefore, the government should learn from the United States and Europe, and reduce intervention in the market. This is not conducive to the vibrant development of the economy."

Delaine said to Gorishon: "Mr. Gorishon, your thinking is obviously wrong. We certainly hope that enterprises can develop healthily, but enterprises should consciously abide by national regulations and assume social obligations."

"As for the problem you mentioned about Europe and America, our East African market indeed lags behind them in terms of vibrancy, but the development of the past few decades has proven that East Africa’s economic system also has its advantages. Otherwise, how could our country have developed into the world’s leading industrial nation in such a short time?"

"You talk about economic vibrancy, but in fact, during East Africa’s fastest economic growth periods, the First and Second Five-Year Plans, the national economy was entirely led and arranged by the state, yet it still achieved brilliant economic success."

"I admit that since the rise of the market economy in recent years, many private enterprises have developed rapidly, but your rapid development is based on the economic foundation that East Africa built over the past few decades, with state-owned enterprises laying down a solid foundation for the nation."

In fact, in a country like East Africa, there are also many supporters of planned economy. After all, the end of East Africa’s planned economy was not because of economic problems at the time, but due to proactive government adjustments.

Therefore, the memories instilled in East African nationals during the planned economy era are overall memories of East Africa’s achievements, and although there were some issues, the merits far outweighed the demerits.

Therefore, Delaine used examples from the planned economy era to refute Gorishon, leaving him speechless. Although he is a beneficiary of the market economy, he couldn’t blatantly lie with his eyes open.

After all, it has been less than fifteen years since East Africa completely ended the era of a fully planned economy, and the memories of East African citizens are not so easily altered.

Delaine said: "Moreover, cooperating with the national agenda is not a bad thing. With the world economy becoming increasingly competitive, only the strong have the hope of survival. Therefore, improving one’s competitiveness, such as having proficiency in technology or production efficiency, will enable better participation in market competition."

"And this is also related to the current needs of societal development. I think, Mr. Gorishon, you should also be aware of the current situation in European countries."

"One important factor why Labor Party members are now active in European countries is that conflicts between enterprises and workers are becoming increasingly intense, so to prevent the Empire from following in Russia’s footsteps, our enterprises giving workers some benefits is not only reasonable, but also a rightful approach."

"After all, if workers have a hard time, they might be subverted by Labor Party members. If the Empire truly transformed into the state of Russia, you might already be hanging from a lamppost or paraded through the streets."

Delaine’s words made Gorishon feel a chill in his heart, but he still retorted stubbornly: "I haven’t seen any active Labor Party members in East Africa. This is completely nonsense."

Delaine chuckled, yet warned: "Believe it or not, we’re not trying to purposely make things difficult for you, but for the healthy and stable development of the country, in short, there are many issues with your factory. I suggest you review the new policies issued by the government in recent years and make necessary corrections. We will come to investigate again next time, and if you still choose to ignore it, we can only proceed according to rules and laws."
