Case:
In order to seize the market, some telecommunications companies in my country do not hesitate to use the most despicable means - cutting off the communication cables of their competitors. This cable-cutting incident stems from the fierce competition between China Telecom and China Unicom in Suining City, Sichuan Province. This is not the first time that the two sides have come into close combat over communications market share. Suining China Unicom's aggressive efforts to develop local telephone services eventually led to the relevant personnel of China Telecom Suining Branch to engage in "cable-cutting operations."
According to China Unicom, although the cable has been repaired, a new problem has arisen: when making calls to China Unicom’s local calls on the public telephones owned by Suining Telecom, the meter shows that the call charge is dozens of dollars higher than the normal rate. times. "What Telecom is doing is actually to make people afraid to call China Unicom's local calls, indirectly squeezing us." The person in charge of Suining China Unicom said. In the era when the socialist market economy has just started, it is inevitable that there will be some phenomena that exceed the normal values ????and moral tolerance of society. This is the so-called "modernization cost" theory. This theory can explain many problems in real life. From foreign and private entrepreneurs frequently searching their employees, to industry leaders hoarding goods, manipulating prices, and squeezing competitors to obtain huge monopoly profits, to China Telecom's Suining branch not hesitate to break the criminal law and cut off other companies' communication cables, these moral turpitudes, If dishonest business practices spread, the cost of modernization will be too high.
On the contrary, in the "Microsoft Split Case" in the United States, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a powerful legal offensive, and the series of lawsuits made Gates overwhelmed. Faced with the government's "all kinds of difficulties", Microsoft still responded and defended unhurriedly, hired lawyers to cooperate with the investigation, actively reached an out-of-court settlement with the Ministry of Justice, and even launched the world-famous Windows XP operating system during the period of litigation. Let people see the style and self-cultivation of multinational corporate giants.
Case analysis:
If Microsoft can "judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart", it can completely paralyze all the computers of the US government with its own technical power, because its Products have penetrated the government's most sophisticated intelligence and defense systems. The theory of political economy also tells us that oligarchs of the size of Microsoft can actually manipulate politics through various means. This is the money nature of capitalism. But Microsoft did not resort to technical means or political means, but calmly chose legal resistance.
Value scale: A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way
If you get it in a proper way and get rich, that is truly "noble", that is, you realize that you are not only a "Economic man" is also a "moral man" and "social man". ", the value of "social human beings". Of course, the modern market economy is profit-seeking, but it also requires us to "see righteousness when seeing profit" and "take it in a wise way." The kind of people who do not care about justice or injustice, make money first, then talk about making money. It is the last word that we should not do; the kind of "money theology" that makes money work and that "ghosts attach great importance to power" is not allowed; the kind of behavior that only cares about getting rich with evil intentions and specializes in taking ill-gotten gains is even more unacceptable.
"Win" is the basis of "win", "win" is the premise of "win", "win" is the premise of "win", "win" is the premise of "win"
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world"
From a businessman's perspective, if you win customers, you will definitely win the market, and the company will definitely prosper.
The purpose of running a business: "Service." Society, strong country". This purpose fully embodies the Confucian view of "people-oriented" and is universal. "The purpose of an enterprise is to serve the society, and profit is the reward for service." The most outstanding performance is respecting consumers and understanding customers. It's about providing customers with quality services.
However, there are still some companies that do not understand the principle of "people-oriented". Some cheat customers and end up with fewer and fewer customers. This is the "loss of people's hearts" caused by the economic consequences.
China has not established a market economic system for a long time, and the supporting legal and regulatory system is still under construction and improvement. However, this does not mean that Chinese companies can abandon business ethics and ignore economic ethics. reason.
What is gratifying is that fellow operators no longer cut each other's wires brutally. Instead, after the split of China Telecom, many telecom companies fell into a quagmire of mutual lawsuits.
Economic ethics is not far away from us.
