"Mayor, actually, your intention is not just to the hardware manufacturing industry, right?" Sha Zhengyang smiled like a cunning fox, with a clear look on his face.

A smile floated on the corner of Lu Zongping's mouth, and he looked at the other party with some appreciation: "Oh, have you seen through it?"

"From your perspective, I think it is normal. After all, we are a metropolis with a population of 9 million, and our degree of industrialization and urbanization is relatively low, which directly puts great pressure on our urban development. In a sense, if the development of the tertiary industry lacks sufficient employment consumption brought by the secondary industry and the secondary industry, then there is a sourceless water without roots, and there is a lack of sufficient room for growth."

Sha Zhengyang's words reached Lu Zongping's heart, and he waved his hand strongly: "Well said it, so I have a lot of ideas, but I always feel that I can't start, or that the entry point has not been considered yet."

"So you think the entire manufacturing industry should be included?" Sha Zhengyang did not agree with Lu Zongping's point of view.

Perhaps because of the different perspectives, Lu Zongping, as mayor, faces huge employment pressure, especially to convert a considerable proportion of the more than 6 million agricultural labor force of the nine million people in Han City into industrial labor force, and to avoid these labor force flowing to the coast as much as possible, so that they can get employment at their homes in Han City as much as possible, and keep consumption locally. This is a basic view.

Of course, it is actually impossible to do it at all.

The higher wages and abundant employment opportunities in coastal areas, especially the latter, are difficult to achieve in Han Metropolis now, so it is normal for dozens or millions of rural labor to move to coastal areas and other large cities like Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai every year. It can only be said that the Han Metropolis Party Committee and Municipal Government should take this goal as the direction of their efforts.

That's why Lu Zongping was so urgent that he had to find a "Zhongnan shortcut", but there was almost no shortcut, or it was difficult to achieve.

Comparative advantages determine that Han City can only find industries that are suitable for Han City's urban situation. Of course, for a metropolis like Han City with a considerable industrial foundation and scientific research and cultural resources, comparative advantages can be reflected in many industries, but not all industries or most industries should still have choices.

"What do you think?" Lu Zongping asked rebelliously. He also felt that the other party did not agree very much, but he felt that the other party might not be able to consider more issues from his own perspective.

"My feeling, you should be interested in manufacturing in the entire emerging industry, or as long as it is a manufacturing industry with development prospects, whether it is traditional or emerging, no matter which field, labor-intensive, capital-intensive, or technology-intensive, and hope that Handu can develop." Sha Zhengyang paused, "But I have to say that this is just an ideal vision. In fact, neither Shanghai nor Suzhou nor Shenzhen can do it, let alone other cities. With the current accelerating process of globalization, comparative advantages have determined that we Handu can only target what is suitable for our Handu. It is already very valuable to be able to do this."

"Well, it seems that you are confident in Zhengyang." Lu Zongping nodded: "Computer and communication equipment manufacturing industry must be the focus of both Han. The electronics industry will be the most important core pillar industry in our Han. But this is definitely not enough. Han City still has millions of rural surplus labor to be transformed. In addition to the tertiary industry and construction industry, we need to cultivate at least three or five industries that can afford sufficient labor. Whether it is a labor-intensive industry or a capital-intensive industry, as long as it can be digested, it is a good industry."

"Mayor, it may not be accurate to talk about cultivation. In fact, our Han City already has some industries with strong competitiveness and development potential in the future. The key is how to make the cake bigger."

Sha Zhengyang knew that Lu Zongping was also willing to discuss these industrial issues, so he was not too polite.

"For example, our aerospace industry, Hanfei Group, Han Aerospace Development Group, and Han AVIC Electronics are all giants of considerable numbers. They are all first-class in China in terms of industry scale and technology. However, I think they have some deviations in their development strategies and ideas. They emphasize internal coordination too much and ignore the huge opportunities that industrial development actually requires more...."

Lu Zongping hesitated for a moment. He had not yet fully understood the meaning of Sha Zhengyang's words for a while. "Can Zhengyang explain it in more detail?"

"Mayor, I mean the aerospace industry has great future prospects, but this is also an industry that requires a considerable supporting system construction. However, if our enterprises consider it too confidential and technical and believe that technology should be concentrated in the internal area, then their development path will be quite narrow, and the country cannot invest huge amounts of money in R&D and derivatives in every sub-field. If some methods and strategies can be used to include some non-internal and non-state-owned enterprises in their supporting systems while ensuring that technology is not lost or leaked, and encourage and guide these supporting enterprises to conduct technical research and exploration, I believe that this industry can not only grow, but also achieve better improvement in the technical field."

Lu Zongping probably understood what Sha Zhengyang meant.

The aerospace industry is also an advantageous industry of Handu, but its special identity as a central enterprise and its excessive blockade in terms of industrial scale and technical barriers, Handu City has basically not been able to enjoy too many benefits. This has also had an impact on the scale development and technological improvement of Hanfei Group, Hanhai Development and Hanhai Electronics.

If some strategies can be changed on this issue, it will not only bring huge development opportunities to the aerospace industry, but also drive the huge development of related supporting industries in Han Metro.

However, these three companies are all central enterprises, and Handu City has limited influence on them, so this can only be said to be able to work hard in this aspect, but there is no guarantee of anything.

"Zhengyang, since you talk about the aerospace industry, you should also understand the difficulties. The city has considered this aspect, but we cannot pin our hopes on this industry." Lu Zongping said it bluntly.

"Of course, even if they are willing to do this, the aerospace industry is not enough for such a large Han city." Sha Zhengyang did not hesitate.

"Well, the aerospace industry also has higher technical requirements, and it is still a bit less important to digest ordinary labor. So I want to say that we all need three or five industries that can consume more ordinary or primary technical labor. The Han Metropolitan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are also preparing to make targeted arrangements and preparations in vocational education, just like what we did for Huawei and Foxconn before."

Lu Zongping looked at Sha Zhengyang, and Sha Zhengyang nodded: "In addition to electronics and aerospace, what I can think of is the automobile and mechanical processing industry. The automobile industry is very large, the coverage is very wide, and the labor requirements are relatively multi-level. There are both high technical content and less particular things. The mechanical processing industry is closely related to the automobile industry and even related machine manufacturing industry, and the derivative supporting facilities are also very rich. Therefore, if these two parts can be carefully cultivated, it is more promising."

"There are some considerations in these two cities, are there any?" Lu Zongping was not satisfied. He could think of all the things Sha Zhengyang mentioned. He hoped that Sha Zhengyang could bring out something that gave him some unexpected surprises.

"Well, mayor, are you hungry?" Sha Zhengyang laughed. "In fact, in metropolis like Han City, industries such as food, clothing, shoes and hats that do not have much technical content can be developed properly. Of course, if you want to act as a leading industry, it is difficult, but you can still try it in some sub-sectors. In addition..."

Indeed, for some metropolis, there is a huge consumer market in itself, so industries such as food and clothing are born with certain markets. If they are indeed distinctive and rely on the local market to gain a foothold and then attack, they can also make some names in the subdivided fields and become companies like hidden champions.

Therefore, there is no need for the government to deliberately guide and cultivate this area, and the market itself can solve it.

"What else?" Lu Zongping was more concerned about what Sha Zhengyang's "other" could bring.

"Well, I would like to mention one, but the city needs to consider the balance comprehensively. Our city has Hanchuan Medical University, Handu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the third medical university in the medical field. It has great achievements in the field of medicine. So it has advantages in biopharmaceuticals and medical devices. So can we consider cultivating more in this field?"

Sha Zhengyang continued: "There is also the logistics industry. I think the future prospects of this industry are very good. Moreover, the geographical location advantage of our Han City is connecting the northwest, southwest, and Central Plains, and Jianghuai. It is the most suitable as the center of the logistics industry headquarters. Moreover, the logistics industry not only requires a huge labor force, but also has a very obvious driving effect on other industries. With the completion of the Hanjia Expressway, Hanwan Expressway, and Hanqin Expressway will be completed one after another and in the next few years, the logistics hub location of our Han City will become more and more prominent, so the logistics industry can vigorously encourage development and radiate to surrounding provinces and cities, so that it consciously or unconsciously regards our Han City as the center of the entire western region."
