Volume 7, Chapter 91, The Difficult Search
"Senior brother, it's not that I am pessimistic, I really can't see the light." Lu Zhijian has gradually relaxed in front of Sha Zhengyang, no longer having the previous tension and restraint. The more he talks, the more he feels, the more he feels, and some of the opportunistic thoughts he had come before gradually fade away, and instead he hopes that Sha Zhengyang can really bring a sense of hope to his hometown.
"So pessimistic?" Sha Zhengyang admitted the reality, but did not think it could not be changed.
A butterfly flapping its wings can always bring a lot of different things, not to mention that 1998 is an extraordinary year in itself.
The impact of the Asian financial crisis on China's domestic economy has begun to emerge, and Chinese senior officials have begun to realize this. Otherwise, the central government will not decisively promote the long-stagnant housing system reform. This is to liberalize the real estate industry and stimulate the vitality of domestic consumption.
But this is not enough. The central government will take a series of big moves one after another, but in fact, there are already a series of weather vanes.
At present, the chairman of the Taiwan Straits Foundation, Koo Zhenfu and his wife, led a delegation to visit the mainland, which will inevitably drive Taiwanese capital to further invest in the mainland; South Korean President Kim Dae-chung will visit China next month. Although South Korean companies are currently facing difficulties, once this wave is relieved, Korean capital entry into China will be accelerated; and the system reform of the People's Bank of China will be finalized next month, abolishing provincial branches and forming cross-provincial branches; the General Secretary will also visit Japan in December, which also marks the increasingly mature new positioning of Sino-Japanese relations, and also means that Japanese capital will further increase investment in the mainland.
Two major events will happen in December. One is that the People's Bank of China will further lower the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates, directly stimulating domestic investment; the Central Economic Work Conference was held to determine that some major measures were introduced.
There is also a huge opportunity here, that is, the central government has determined at the economic work conference that it will further increase its investment in railways and highways and infrastructure, which is the so-called "rail, highway and foundation". Its efforts are unprecedented. Many projects that everyone thought were unlikely would be launched quickly, so now, the unlikely ones may become a reality.
Of course, if you are just waiting and think that pies will fall from the sky and don’t go to Beijing to go to Beijing, then you will think too much, and such good things may not be your turn.
"Senior brother, it's not that I'm too pessimistic, but that reality is like this." Lu Zhijian exhaled a breath of turbid air, "I said that Wuling does not have minerals like oil, natural gas and coal and iron ore that can be mined immediately after being discovered. From my personal perspective, the green mountains and clear waters are hidden in the deep valleys of the mountains and valleys. No one knows that although there are no minerals in our mountainous areas, various animal and plant resources are treasures, such as bracken, vegetarian vegetables, water shield, mushrooms, all kinds of pure natural plants, as well as alpine tea without any pollution, and as simple and hardworking people, why should they suffer from poverty for decades, and why can't they live a better life?"
"It seems that you also realized what is the biggest problem in Wuling area?" Sha Zhengyang said thoughtfully.
"Well, the traffic problem, if this problem is not solved, Wuling's development has always been bound by this rope." Lu Zhijian nodded.
"What if there is a chance to untie this rope? What do you think Wuling can break through?" Sha Zhengyang asked again.
"I always think that diversified operations are the best way to solve a considerable number of people who are difficult to go out of the mountainous areas to work, such as the high-value-added green ecological products, tea, wild vegetables, livestock and poultry meat products you mentioned, but how to integrate them to make them smoothly become commodities and sell them? I think there may be many ways to explore here."
Lu Zhijian's prudence and meticulousness made Sha Zhengyang very satisfied, which shows that this person is not the kind of person who talks about his high hands and low eyes, nor is he the utilitarian role who only focuses on GDP growth, but focuses on the income increase of farmers in the vast mountainous areas, which is very good.
"Is there anything else? The area you mentioned is more like a small peasant economic model. It does have reference value in a specific environment, but from a broad perspective, especially from the perspective of the government, it is not enough." Sha Zhengyang said lightly.
"Manufacturing is definitely the best way to solve the surplus rural labor force, but Wuling area has no foundation. This is difficult and it is difficult to compete with other regions in terms of competitiveness." Lu Zhijian sighed, "I really can't think of it, senior brother."
Sha Zhengyang also knew that he was a little embarrassed by this junior brother. It was very rare to be able to talk about this. If he had not had the halo of rebirth, he would probably be worse than the other party if he had not had the halo of rebirth.
"Well, your direction is clear. The only thing Wuling has is natural and pollution-free animals, plants and ecological environment. So the crops produced in this environment, including the wild vegetables, tea, livestock and poultry meat you mentioned, can also include water, medicinal materials, and even the environment itself." Sha Zhengyang said calmly: "As far as I know, Wuling is the most famous selenium-rich area in Hanchuan and even the country. Mountain springs and minerals are rich in selenium, so this is the characteristic. Wild vegetables, tea and medicinal materials are rich in selenium, which is not comparable to other regions. Moreover, the oxygen-rich selenium-rich in mountainous areas, such as paintings, can we consider how to form an industrial chain? It is worth discussing... "
Lu Zhijian was shocked, and it would be fine if the medicinal materials and water were all right. He didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to directly point his target to the environment itself, that is, the mountains and rivers are all scenery, so it is pointing to the tourism industry?
Lu Zhijian left, leaving with full of passion and expectation. Sha Zhengyang estimated that the other party would be unable to sleep all night tonight.
This young man is good. In his opinion, he is less sophisticated and more innocent than Wang Yaguang. However, both of them are outstanding talents. It is what he is willing to see if he can help them grow up faster. So he cut off some problems and asked the other party to go back and think about it himself. It is impossible for him to explain everything thoroughly, which is not good for his growth.
When Liang Jinbai came in to pack up the tea, Sha Zhengyang signaled the other party to take his seat.
Sha Zhengyang did not let Liang Jinbai avoid it, and he also intended to let Liang Jinbai participate in more of his own affairs. Such things are not purely private affairs, but more of work discussions. He felt that letting Liang Jinbai know more would also help him benefit from it and grow faster.
"How do you feel?" Sha Zhengyang asked with a smile.
"I benefited a lot." Liang Jinbai nodded, "Although I have been exposed to a lot of information before, only when I went to these places, I saw it down to earth and touch it, and heard it, I realized how specific and cruel the reality is. I feel a little desperate for counties like Baoling to raise the economy and how the industry develops. Well, like your junior brother, Director Sha, I feel that I can't find a way out."
"It's a process, but it's not dark and there's no light." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "Do you think a county like Baoling should change its poverty. Apart from road traffic problems, or when the traffic bottleneck is solved, what aspects can it have investment points?"
Liang Jinbai knew that this was his boss being a test, so he focused his mind and said for a moment, and said firmly: "The tourism industry is not desirable now. Even if the traffic bottleneck is what the director said, there are opportunities to improve, it will be three to five years later, so this area can only be placed behind. I personally think the only desirable thing is the food industry. We can fully explore and utilize the original ecology of this region and selenium-rich advantages that other regions are difficult and unreplicable. Perhaps only this can attract real investors and even overcome this huge obstacle to transportation."
"What about other labor-intensive industries?" Sha Zhengyang asked again.
"It's very difficult." Liang Jinbai said bluntly: "Whether it is clothing, shoes, hats, bags, electronic assembly industries, transportation problems are not solved, and transportation costs and geographical location will make it without any competitive advantage, so it is unlikely."
"Well, it seems that our conversation with people in Baoling County tomorrow will be more direct and specific." Sha Zhengyang also saw this.
Early the next morning, the main leaders of the Baoling County Party Committee and County Government who received the regional notice flocked to him, which made Sha Zhengyang helpless, but he could only accept this enthusiasm.
I have to say that maybe it was because I was afraid of being poor for a long time and I was too eager to intervene from external factors to help Baoling achieve changes. Therefore, the enthusiasm they showed made Sha Zhengyang, who was already mentally prepared, feel deeply moved.
The secretary, county magistrate, deputy secretary, executive deputy county magistrate, and most of the entire county party committee and county government team came to accompany Sha Zhengyang for investigation.
After one morning, I could see several enterprises in the county town. The scale was small, most of them were very local people's livelihood-related enterprises, such as tea factories and flavored food factories. There was a rare pharmaceutical factory, which mainly used local Chinese medicinal materials to produce two Chinese patent medicines, but Sha Zhengyang felt that the benefits were not good.
This shows that the county is not ignorant of its own advantages and disadvantages. The problem is how to become bigger and stronger. First, there is a lack of channels, second, there is a lack of capital support, and third, there is a lack of clear paths and confidence.
At present, state-owned enterprises have shown a trend of retreating from the country and advancing to the public, and the county has neither enthusiasm nor the financial resources to make a living in the development of enterprises. It is already very difficult to maintain the food of county cadres and teachers.
"Specialist Xiong, Secretary Tan, County Magistrate Qiao, I think I will be here this morning. I have a clear idea of the situation of the county's enterprises. Let's take a look today, and I mainly have an intuitive feeling." Sha Zhengyang sat down in the slightly dilapidated conference room and went straight to the point. "The leaders of several leaders don't have to accompany me in the afternoon. I plan to go to several neighboring townships to take a look. If there is a leader in the county, there is no need for others."
