Swiped every video.Sandy Monroe. Monroe: It all makes sense when you see 2,500 Chinese people eagerly attending your classes!The “The”. I’m a bit of a sucker for Sandy Munro, the old man.perception, before he exclaimed that he could not understand the injection molding process of the United States.
The host of this video compares the auto industry in China and the U.S. The host says that Chinese cars are cheaper because labor is cheaper. sandy retorts:
- Say a car inside the labor cost may only account for 5% to 15% of the overall, but the Chinese productivity is 120%, the old United States is 80% because of the need to smoke marijuana, Mexico Japan is 90%, Europe is 70%. The main cost of the car is the cost of materials, raw materials
- Then said the biggest advantage of China’s industry crushing is: material supply is extremely cheap, stable and reliable. Europe and the United States are extremely expensive supply of raw materials.
- The advantage of supply is also that domestic suppliers dare not want profit. Sounds like this is the set up for a price war to eat subsidies, doesn’t it?
Lately all the smart foreigners on the internet have been saying they can beat the domestic industry by introducing automation and then finding cheap suppliers. Smart domestic pundits are also bragging about the supply chain advantage.
But this argument, I think, needs further scrutiny. The so-called supply chain and raw material advantages actually boil down to upstream industry advantages. What about the cost composition of the upstream industry? It’s also a cannibalistic dividend, which is then transformed into productivity and cost advantages.
The automobile industry is off-shore, because in the view of the financial industry, the industry is the material supply of profit. there is no technical content, the upper limit of making money in the place. In Europe and the United States, there are not many local people in the university to read mechanical manufacturing program. There are no people, let alone talent.
The concept of “manufacturing” in China is also very interesting, for example, Apple likes to put it very bluntly, this is assemble, but you design is not assemble? To pull hard, California’s work, is nothing more than a variety of creative and industrial design put together the effort? Playing keyboards in an office, and screwing in an electronics factory, are nothing butlit. one soft, the other hardThe former manufactures ideas, the latter physical objects.
So it comes down to man-mining advantage. Overloading the press. Not many people in the country read mechanical engineering anymore either.
