Chapter 1180 Walking on the road of transformation
Liu Lang and his family spent an hour shopping at the morning market and had a meal of tofu. When they left, everyone was carrying a bag of vegetables.
The atmosphere of the New Year began to brew in the morning. Liu Lang's mother, second aunt, third aunt and other women began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. There were all the cooking "guys" in the house, such as rice cookers, electric frying spoons, and range hoods.
Everything is available, and the Liu family is also one of the first families in Fucheng to use a gas stove. It no longer fills the house with smoke from cooking as before.
It was almost noon and the old friends of the Liu family started to come up. There were more than a dozen people. Even though Liu Lang was now "unattainable", Liu Lang's grandfather and father had no airs about them, and they were not like the old friends in the past.
Neighbors move around a lot. Of course, after moving, I have a very close relationship with my current neighbors. I come to Liu's house to sit there when I have nothing to do.
During lunch, Liu Lang set up two tables to entertain the guests. Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting about how lively it was. What they talked about the most was the changes in Fucheng over the past year. This change is visible to the naked eye, and the people's income has also improved to a certain extent.
, especially the canteens and small restaurants that can be seen everywhere. This phenomenon indicates that the service industry has taken root in Fucheng. A developed service industry means that the economy of this region is very good.
In fact, this is also true. Large-scale infrastructure construction and the construction of residential areas have driven the economy of Fucheng. If not, real estate is the fastest way to drive the economy. It is true that the cement market and steel market in Fucheng
It is also growing at a rapid rate.
Of course, today's Fucheng has embarked on the road of transformation, and the key to transformation lies in the problem of tens of thousands of employees in the Mining Bureau.
The Fucheng Mining Bureau has nearly 100,000 employees and an annual coal output of 6 million tons. In fact, coal output has been declining over the years. Five years ago, it could still produce close to 8 million tons.
Six million tons is not a lot, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mining value of this coal mine is getting smaller and smaller.
Ordinary people don't care. They don't think about the future. Anyway, if there is coal, there will be wages. I just have to work. But as decision-makers, you can't just focus on immediate interests. They should at least focus on
Ten years later.
If coal mines continue to mine at their current mining capacity, there will be no coal left in the open-pit mines within five years.
It’s not that coal mines really can’t extract coal, but that the cost is getting higher and higher. The mining costs of coal seams in deeper locations and those on the surface are completely different.
You must know that the current cost of coal is already very high. Technology is one aspect, but mainly labor costs. An open-pit mine has to support tens of thousands of people. This is incomparable with foreign coal mines that use modern technology to mine. Others have the same scale.
Large mines may only require 1,800 people, and this cost alone is huge.
Labor costs were originally high, and now mining is becoming more and more difficult. It can be said that if there is no change, the open-pit mine will become a "bucket of dynamite" in five years.
Not only Song Lifeng is aware of this situation, but other leaders in Fucheng City are also aware of this crisis. Everyone feels like a big stone is weighing on their hearts. If this problem is not solved, the consequences will be disastrous!
Liu Lang had raised this issue with Song Lifeng when Norinco was established in Fucheng five years ago. Song Lifeng had no good solution at that time. After all, there were tens of thousands of people! We couldn't force them to find another way out.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Fucheng has a different situation. The service industry has developed vigorously. This is undoubtedly an important direction.
In fact, there is no need for Song Lifeng to come forward to call for it. Many companies have begun to engage in diversified operations. The original employee canteens were contracted to open hotels, the original employee bathhouses were contracted and opened to the outside world, and some experienced people contracted employee clubs to open karaoke bars and restaurants.
ballroom.
Liu Lang knew that a staff club of the Mining Bureau had been contracted by a man named He Liwei, and then introduced karaoke, which was very popular in the capital, and it was very popular for a while.
This is all good news because these industries can absorb workers and thereby reduce business costs.
At the end of last year, Song Lifeng gave Liu Lang a set of data, which was that the Mining Bureau had experienced a decrease in costs. This was simply an incredible situation. The reason was that more than 2,000 employees had gone to engage in diversified operations.
It is a contracting operation, so the Bureau of Mines no longer pays them wages, which reduces costs.
We must know that these people are voluntary, why would they rather give up their monthly salary of more than 300 yuan to work as a contractor? Isn't it because they can make more money by working as a contractor?
This is good news. If it continues like this, more people will join their ranks, and Fucheng's economy does allow them to do so.
Song Lifeng and the city government have begun to gradually guide these people, not only in the catering industry, but also in optical shops, watch shops, etc. In short, with the development of the economy, all industries have great potential.
Of course, the tertiary industry is only one aspect of Fucheng's key development. As an industrial zone, industry is the industry that needs strong support.
Although Fucheng is a city that made its fortune from coal, its industrial level is not low. After all, the coal industry relies heavily on its industrial foundation. There are many machinery factories, machine tool factories and other enterprises. In terms of industrial foundation, it is better than that of big cities in the south.
In recent years, Norinco has risen rapidly and is in urgent need of downstream industries. There are more than a dozen companies around Norinco that have formed a large scale. For example, the Fucheng branch of Jinling Machine Tools had only three or four people when it was established. Two years have passed.
, the company already has more than 20 people. They provide semi-finished bearing parts for Norinco Group. Last year, the output value exceeded 700,000 yuan, and the employee salary exceeded 500 yuan per month, which is higher than the salary of the head office employees.
All much higher.
There is also Shencheng No. 4 Machinery Factory, which also provides semi-finished materials to Norinco Group. Last year, its output value exceeded 800,000 yuan. As for those who bought the factory according to the "Fucheng model", although the development is not as good as these two
The company is good, but it is not what it used to be. Those who are shareholders have long since become households worth ten thousand yuan. The most outstanding one is the factory director named Hou Changfa, whose "worth" exceeds one hundred thousand yuan.
He is a real rich man.
What does all this mean? Even a fool can see it, that is, you can really get rich by following Norinco. In the five years since the establishment of Norinco, no one or company has ever lost money after following him.
Happened, everyone "sent" it.
In fact, many people have figured it out a long time ago, otherwise there would not be so many screw and nut factories in Fucheng. The customers of these factories are enterprises like Hou Changfa. This kind of spontaneous behavior is a reflection of the market economy.
Song Lifeng just wants to fill the "fire" again. This fire is going to "burn" those big companies, such as machine tool factories and pressure vessel factories. Why are you still waiting around like fools? Why don't you catch up quickly? If you can't keep up anymore, then
There's really no chance.
It just so happens that Liu Lang has launched the CNC machine tool project, and a large number of downstream industries have emerged, which these companies can undertake. Even if they cannot directly provide semi-finished parts to Norinco, they can "swim" further downstream.
In short, after five years of development in Fucheng, the situation is different from what it was back then. Many industries are thriving. Transformation on this basis is much more difficult and easier than it was back then.
Of course, the key still depends on the leadership of people like Song Lifeng. This is a tough battle that must be won. Once successful, not only will Fucheng benefit, but similar companies in the entire country will also have a good example. Only then will
