As the first stop of this visit to five European countries, the Chinese government has undoubtedly shown the importance it attaches to Germany. Germany is a country with a high degree of modern industry. However, half of the land in the country is used for agricultural land. And all of it has been achieved At this point, the prospects for cooperation between the two countries are broad. China is a large agricultural country with a huge population. Improving land utilization has always been the most important concern of successive governments. After all, we account for one-fifth of the world's The population is small, but there is only a pitiful amount of agricultural land. Therefore, the issue of food and clothing has always been the most concerned issue for the party and the country.
Nanfeng Province is a major agricultural province. Therefore, during this visit, inspecting the agricultural level of developed European countries is also one of their focuses. In the past two days, Yu Fan followed the delegation to pay attention to Germany's agriculture and animal husbandry. I have a general understanding. As one of the birthplaces of cooperatives in the world, German cooperatives have a history of more than 140 years. Today, there are 3,010 cooperatives in agriculture and animal husbandry alone across the country. One hundred and eighty-eight. Overall, the development of the German economy, especially the development of agricultural areas, is largely due to the role and contribution of cooperatives. This is a highlight of German agriculture and also makes Yu Fan deeply A place with feelings.
Today, German agricultural cooperatives are spread all over rural areas in Germany. They provide farmers with agricultural product production, processing, sales, credit, agricultural input supply, consulting and other services. They have become an important organizational carrier for agricultural industrialization. Eighty percent of farmers in Germany Participated in various cooperatives. The market share of agricultural cooperatives in meat, grains and vegetables, and dairy products reached 30%, 50% and 75% respectively. The total annual sales of agricultural cooperatives has reached 38.3 billion euros. In the long run, agricultural cooperatives not only improve the organization and industrialization of agricultural production and sales, but also help promote the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure. It has played an irreplaceable role for individual farmers and the country in promoting rural and regional development in Germany, increasing farmers' income, and narrowing urban-rural and regional differences.
The on-site visit made Yu Fan deeply impressed by the modernization of German agriculture. Due to his fluent German level, he is now almost a full-time translator for the delegation. Tong Xiaohui is also a "teacher" who follows him all day long. The teacher shouted. But precisely because of the convenience of language communication, Yu Fan also felt a deep sense of pride from the words of some farmers. This was what touched his heart the most.
Back at the hotel, Yu Fan began to learn about German agricultural cooperatives from the Internet. Any system that can achieve such fruitful results in practice has its own meaning. As long as it is good, it must be something to learn from. necessary. Even if it cannot be copied completely, the successful experience is worth learning from.
As a young local leader, Yu Fan has his own ideas in this regard. Farmers in China are miserable. He has lived in the countryside since he was a child. Yu Fan is deeply aware of this. After the reform and opening up, every household They own their own contracted land. However, the subsequent wave of national economic development has caused a large part of the rural labor force to rush to the city. It is precisely because of them that China had such a solid foundation in the early stages of reform and opening up. But hidden dangers also emerged. A large number of rural laborers rushed to cities, leaving rural fields idle. This is undoubtedly fatal to a large country dominated by agriculture.
China's population base determines the importance of agricultural land in the overall national strategy. Although in order to change the status quo of idle land, the state began to compensate farmers for farming. However, the effect is that as the gap between the rich and the poor in urban and rural areas widens. The results have been minimal. Over the years, many farmers have tasted the benefits of the economic benefits of going out to work. The rural children born in this generation have become very unfamiliar with farming. The effectiveness of land transfer in various places Although it reduces the utilization rate of idle land and increases farmers' income, it fundamentally causes the area of agricultural land to shrink greatly. This will make China's agriculture, which is not already wealthy, become even more prosperous in the future. difficult.
The experience of German agricultural cooperatives undoubtedly made Yu Fan's eyes brighten. Although Qingling District belongs to the city center of Lanjiang City, there are large areas of towns around Qingling District. Although these towns rely on Qingling District Lanjiang City has become wealthy due to its status as a developed commercial center. However, the encroachment of agricultural land is still very serious. As far as Yu Fan saw some situations in Huanbei Village, the originally large area of farmland has now become a piece of land. Although this new farm model has been affirmed, the disadvantages arising from it are still inevitable.
As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jinhai City, Lin Dongfang also received the task of accompanying the Prime Minister on his visit to five European countries. As a municipality, the economy of Jinhai City is indeed at the forefront of China. But compared with several other municipalities, Tianjin Jinhai City's economy has shown a downward trend in the past two years. This made Lin Dongfang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, feel very embarrassed. This time he visited five European countries. Jinhai City was fully prepared. The first stop was Germany. He signed letters of intent for several key cooperation projects in one go. This made Lin Dongfang feel slightly relieved.
Lin Dongfang is now a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. During this trip, he stayed with the Prime Minister as an escort. After returning to the hotel after attending the welcome dinner prepared by the German government, the Prime Minister also He was summoned to the room.
"Dongfang. What do you think of Germany's attitude towards our visit to Germany this time?" Although it has been a busy day, the Prime Minister's words were still very kind. He looked at Lin Dongfang with a smile. But after all, he was already He is an old man in his sixties. There is still a trace of fatigue in the corners of his eyes.
Lin Dongfang naturally understood the meaning of the Prime Minister's words. He thought about it and said slightly seriously: "Prime Minister, this German government has undergone obvious changes compared with the previous one. Regarding high-tech exports or weapons, Regarding the embargo, it is impossible for the German government to relent in any way, and it is impossible for the German government to maintain a supportive attitude within the EU as it did in the past."
The Prime Minister glanced at him and said with a smile: "The lifting of the arms embargo cannot be reached in a short time. At present, the integration of China's national defense system has been initially completed. The lifting of the arms embargo is feasible for us. Dispensable. As for the export of high-tech industries, although the EU has very strict controls, the current economic situation in Europe is not optimistic. It will be a matter of time before the export of high-tech products is lifted. This will help them integrate into the world of China. It is the largest consumer market in China. The Germans should be well aware of this." After saying that, he looked at Lin Dongfang and sighed. "Dongfang, you are now a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. You have to let yourself go." From a strategic perspective, don't limit your vision to one province or one city. You must look at the whole country. You must shift the focus of work from the local to the central government." After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Dongfang with a meaningful smile.
Lin Dongfang was shocked when he heard this. He nodded and said: "That's what the Prime Minister said. I still need to learn from the old comrades." He nodded. The Prime Minister looked at him and smiled: "Jinhai City is a municipality directly under the central government of the country. The central government We have always attached great importance to the development of Jinhai. You should focus more on the economic construction and innovation of Jinhai and support more high-tech industries. This will be beneficial to the next development of Jinhai." Lin Dongfang He nodded his head.
After saying this, the Prime Minister picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He looked at Lin Dongfang with a smile and said, "You have a son-in-law named Yu Fan." Lin Dongfang was stunned. He raised his head and said, "The Prime Minister knows him." Hehehe smiled. The Prime Minister smiled and said: "Comrade Bi Qiang of the Ministry of Finance highly praised the fiscal reform plan he implemented at the local level. Haha. I also took a look. He has the character of Mr. Lin back then."
Lin Dongfang smiled and said: "Young people are too impulsive. They do things without considering the situation. They all rely on impulse. They need to settle down in some departments where they can calm down." Looking at it with a smile. Prime Minister Lin Dongfang shook his head and said: "I really appreciate this momentum. There are indeed many imperfections in this reform plan. It is not very comprehensive in all aspects. But it can be seen that it is indeed thoughtful. There are There are so many highlights.”
"It's not easy for young people to let go of their impetuosity and calm down to do things." He smiled. The Prime Minister continued: "It's good to temper yourself. But don't be too discouraged. Young people should be motivated. Those who look forward and backward are the opposite. Nothing can be done well." As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Lin Dongfang and smiled and said, "I met Mr. Qian last time. He seemed to appreciate this reform plan."
Lin Dongfang smiled hurriedly and said: "Last time I took Yu Fan to visit Mr. Qian. The old leader seemed to intend for him to work for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection." The Prime Minister nodded. He laughed and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Qian wants to train him for the Commission for Discipline Inspection. A professional in anti-corruption. Haha." He seemed to be interested. The Prime Minister looked at Lin Dongfang and said: "If you have the opportunity, bring him over and let me have a look. I would like to see what kind of talent can get in. Mr. Qian’s discerning eye. Haha.”
Lin Dongfang nodded and smiled. But he was secretly frightened. He didn't expect the Prime Minister to attach so much importance to Yu Fan's financial reform plan. For a while, he was a little unsure about Yu Fan's future arrangements. Originally, according to Lin Dongfang's intention, this After returning home for the first time, I asked Yu Fan to stay in a part-time department for a few years and become more mature. But now it seems that I have to reconsider his problem.
At this time, Yu Fan locked himself in the hotel room. The two-day visit gave him a big shock. No wonder people say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This time he went abroad. It was a great gain. After consulting a large amount of information on agricultural cooperatives in Germany, Yu Fan drafted a report on "Strengthening the Role of Rural Cooperatives in the Adjustment of Rural Industrial Structure" in two days. He planned to submit it after returning home. After going to the Municipal Party Committee, after repeated revisions, he felt confident about the prospects of this report. Just as he was thinking about finding an expert with research in this field to take a look, there was a knock on the door.
