Even then, it's not telling the whole story without knowing the cost per worker and the value per unit. When you take costs into account, you can get a situation where lowering production will increase earnings.

Taking your numbers and plugging in some values like 75 per worker and 0.01 per unit would increase earnings by 250%.

Yea, I'm wondering if we can dig up a Chinese language source and see if it has more details. I'm guessing something got horribly lost in translation.

Or, possibly, the factory managers are purposefully not giving the whole story...
