Only Wang Ai himself knows whether it can become a guiding ideology. Although Wang Bin has contacted many high-level officials and often comes into contact with the intellectual community on a daily basis, the intellectual community itself is also in a state of confusion, so he can only respond with caution.
“What should we do about the backward production capacity? Elimination is a central decision, but you say that it cannot all be transferred?”
"Upgrade on the spot." Wang Ai said with relief: "The so-called backward production capacity is actually divided into three types. The first type is highly polluting. The people have complaints and the environment is harmed. The investment will be huge to deal with this. Those who have been
Pollution must be controlled sooner or later, just like the smog in Beijing. This cost was originally borne by society and the country, but in the future it will be borne by the companies themselves. But globalization means that policies vary from place to place, so it is either upgrade or go away. And for big companies like ours
At this scale, there is no other way but to upgrade.”
Wang Bin nodded: "61.4% of the paper machines at home have zero discharge, and it will be 100% in about three years. As long as we no longer discharge sewage, no one will say that we are a polluting company."
“The second type is energy-intensive. People in Europe keep putting pressure on us with their high-pitched rhetoric. We can’t turn a blind eye, so we have to do something, but we can’t be fooled yet.”
“Is it an environmental tax?”
"Is that so? They have completed industrialization themselves, and then set high barriers to prevent others from entering. You can come in, but you have to pay rent to them."
“High energy consumption means burning more coal, which is linked to pollution. I heard that the photovoltaic industry in the south is developing rapidly. Can this replace burning coal in the future? Or natural gas?”
"It's hard to say, but I guess not at the moment. Some technologies in the photovoltaic industry have just made breakthroughs, and the cost is too high. People like us can't afford to use it. Although natural gas is not very polluting, our local production capacity is not enough, which also involves the elimination of high-power
The underlying reason for energy-consuming industries is that our crude oil is too controlled by others. Whether it is the Middle East or Russia, it is always unreliable." Wang Ai looked at his father: "You said that our new China has many times because of its great development potential.
We were subject to blockade. Let’s talk about it earlier. Didn’t our party suffer from the blockade when we were in northern Shaanxi? So, for sure, this string has always been stretched.”
Wang Bin thought for a long time this time before sighing: "The environment in our Northeast is too harsh. Heilongjiang is originally rich in water resources, but it freezes in winter and the hydropower stations are helpless. Photovoltaics look good, but we always have snow in winter.
, if you really want to provide us with a production base, you will have to arrange for someone to clear the snow, and that thing will definitely not last long under our severe temperature difference, and the cost will come up again. There is also transportation. If the Heilongjiang outlet is lost, the northeast will be a
The mainland is far inferior to Sichuan. No wonder they are all heading south, the conditions for industrial development are really good."
Wang Ai nodded with concern: "Lao Maozi is always on guard against us, and Vladivostok won't let us use it. By the way, Hunchun is okay, right?"
"Well, we are a big buyer from Russia, and there is also strong demand from South Korea and Japan, so we three parties work together. They allow our fleet to drive directly to the Tumen River outlet to board the ship, but we are a special case.
I still don’t know when the national level will solve it.” Wang Bin said with emotion: “Actually, there is no need for me to guard against us. Our own people are running south, who will go to Siberia? Old Maozi is so skinny that he still insists on
Just be brave. Back then, it was just to annex the Northeast that we forcibly sealed off the two seaports in the Northeast. Now this strategic plan will never exist, so why bother."
"It's all about self-respect and unwillingness to admit defeat." Wang Ai laughed: "Back then, the eldest brother was so thrown by his younger brother that he couldn't even see the taillights of his car. He was afraid of being looked down upon, so he held on. However, China still has a very long time.
We need friendly relations between the two countries, so there is no way to bring this up."
Wang Bin narrowed his eyes: "Is the United States really going to change?"
Wang Ai shrugged: "Now things have changed. The American academic community has sounded the alarm. Sooner or later it will turn into action, and it will not take more than ten years."
“So, it will be impossible for me to buy the land in Tumen River with Lao Maozi for a while.” Wang Bin sighed.
Wang Ai looked at his father in surprise: "Dad, have you thought about this?"
"Don't we have to pay rent when using other people's land?" Wang Bin said disapprovingly: "As long as our own land is good, we can use it how we want. That land is connected to North Korea, but Russia has too much time to take care of itself. How can it have time to take care of North Korea?
There is no point in keeping this piece of land. Besides, it’s not like Lao Maozi has never sold land. Hasn’t he sold all the land in Alaska as big as Alaska? The land in Tumen River is only a few hundred square kilometers, no matter how expensive it is, you can afford it. Moreover,
That’s not to say that the four northern islands are related to Russia’s strategic security and a large exclusive economic zone. That land has nothing to do with Russia’s security. It is purely an international strategic consideration and is for the Yellow Russia Plan. It would be useless now. Otherwise
The land south of the Tumen River is also OK, but it belongs to North Korea..."
Wang Ai shook his head: "Let's talk about our own business. Changes in the international situation usually take centuries as a unit."
Wang Bin sighed deeply: "We are not taking advantage of others, it is purely for development needs. We do not want to threaten Russia. They are all nuclear powers. Who threatens whom? Alas, it is difficult. I don’t know when. Okay.
, you talk about the third point. What do you mean, high labor consumption, this is a new term, does it refer to those that are labor-intensive? "
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "The central government didn't say it clearly, but in fact those production capacities are backward and they are running very fast. For example, those who make shoes go to Africa, and those who make textiles go to Bangladesh. China has entered an aging period.
There is a large number of retired people, and this demographic dividend is no longer much. Moreover, industry is constantly upgrading, automation is getting higher and higher, and the use of people is gradually transitioning to the tertiary industry. There is indeed a strong demand there, which requires continuous regulation of the labor force.
Releasing them from those places is just like liberating the surplus rural labor force in the past. For example, online shopping is so prosperous and will become even more prosperous in the future. Doesn’t this require a large number of couriers?”
"To put it this way, our family is in a bad situation. In recent years, automation has become more and more advanced." Wang Bin touched his chin: "Less than 40% of front-line workers are now, and the rest are considered to be in the service industry. Press
You put it this way, we have solved two of the backward production capacities represented by the three highs of high pollution, high energy consumption and high manpower. Only this high energy consumption. In other words, we still have a solid foundation to meet the needs of national development.
If necessary, the policy will definitely support it.”
“Of course, the primary stage of socialism lasts for one hundred years.” Wang Ai said with a smile.
“Maybe the source matter is still unresolved.” Wang Bin thought and murmured: “How about applying to build a nuclear power plant?”
