You can have a thousand investors all chip in to build a factory, but without workers in that factory you have nothing. I'm not sure what this comment is trying to accomplish other than pointing out that the value of initial investment ultimately hinges on the ability to hire and retain workers, and ultimately the value of the labor produced by those workers. The workers have the power.
