Wealth Creation Strategies

As every regular reader at this site knows, they begin by making the painful but necessary acknowledgment that the world is flat, that our entrepreneurial class most adopt flexible management and marketing strategies that reflect the lightning-fast pace of change in our ever-evolving world, and that workers acquire new job skills to make themselves more attractive to employers than a robot or a computer. How to accomplish? First, by liberating ourselves from the outdated and inefficient business model of our brick-and-mortar welfare state, and looking for inspiration to the emerging economic dynamos of the Far East:

We have reached the entrance of the production floor with a warning sign that says: “TOP SECURITY AREA”. We are told that if anyone enters or exits the metal detector door and found carrying any metallic stuff on your body such as belt buckle, earrings, cameras, handset, MP3 players, the alarm will sound and you will be fired on the spot. One of my roommates told me that his friend has been fired because he carried a USB charging cable. When I walked into the production floor after passing through the metal detector door, I heard loud sounds of machinery engines and a very dense plastic smell. Our supervisor warned us: “Once you sit down, you only do what you are told”. The supervisor finally presents us the back of the iPhone 5 and shows it to all of us and said: “This is the new unleashed iPhone 5 back plate, you should be honored having the chance to produce it.”

An iPhone 5 back-plate run through in front of me almost every 3 seconds. I have to pick up the back-plate and marked 4 position points using the oil-based paint pen and put it back on the running belt swiftly within 3 seconds with no errors. After such repeat action for several hours, I have terrible neck ache and muscle pain on my arm. A new worker who sat opposite of me gone exhausted and laid down for a short while. The supervisor has noticed him and punished him by asking him to stand at one corner for 10 minutes like the old school days. We worked non-stop from midnight to the next morning 6 a.m. but were still asked to keep on working as the production line is based on a running belt and no one is allowed to stop. I’m so starving and fully exhausted.

By my own calculations, I have to mark five iPhone plates every minute, at least. For every 10 hours, I have to accomplish 3,000 iPhone 5 back plates. There are total 4 production lines in charge of this process, 12 workers in every line. Each line can produce 36,000 iPhone 5 back plates in half a day, this is scary . . . I finally stopped working at 7 a.m. We were asked to gather again after work. The supervisor shouted out loud in front of us: “Who wants to rest early at 5 a.m.? We are all here to earn money! Let’s work harder!” I was thinking who on earth wants to work two extra hours overtime for only mere 27 yuan (USD$4)!?
