When Liu Lang returned to Fucheng from Shenzhen City, it was already the end of December 1999. There were only four days until New Year's Day, and this year's New Year's Day is the millennium, and mankind will enter a new millennium.
.
How many things will happen to human beings in a thousand years? In the last thousand years, the Song Dynasty was just established. After that, it would go through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The Chinese nation also turned from prosperity to decline, until it became a backward and beaten country in modern times.
It was only in the second half of the last century that we escaped from the situation of being beaten, but we were still poor and backward, but in the last twenty years we started a new journey.
In the past twenty years, the country has entered a process of rapid development, and people's lives have been prosperous. Twenty years ago, the annual income of ordinary people was only five or six hundred yuan. Twenty years later, it increased to about seven thousand yuan, an increase of more than ten times.
The national strength is also constantly increasing. For example, twenty years ago, the country's total foreign exchange was only 170 million US dollars. That's right, the entire country only had 170 million US dollars in its pocket.
In the 1990s, foreign exchange had just exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars. At that time, Liu Lang's net worth had already exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Today, twenty years later, the country's foreign exchange reserves have reached more than 160 billion U.S. dollars, soaring.
Nearly a hundred times.
Income is only an indicator to measure the strength of a country. From a national perspective, industry is the fundamental expression of national strength. In particular, the development of the manufacturing industry can show the level of industry.
The country's manufacturing industry already accounts for about 20% of the world's manufacturing industry, especially small commodity manufacturing, which is developing at an unimaginable speed.
Of course, in previous lives, the country was already very strong in the manufacturing of mid- to low-end goods. There was no country in the world that could compare with it. This is recognized by the world.
The labor cost of manufacturing in developed countries is too high, and the cost of manufactured goods is uneconomical. China's labor cost is extremely advantageous. Developed countries are also happy to have these products manufactured in China. Although the labor costs of other poor countries are also very low, in these countries
The quality of workers is so poor that the same work that can be completed in one day in China may not be completed in ten days in their hands.
Mid- and low-end manufacturing relies on quantity, while high-end manufacturing relies on quality. In previous generations, countries lacked high-end manufacturing, but this generation is completely different.
It is true that there is still a big gap between the country and Western developed countries in terms of high-end manufacturing, but this gap is much smaller than in previous generations. The chip industry is second only to the United States, island countries, South Korea and the United Kingdom in terms of chip manufacturing level.
Well, even the British chip industry is not as strong as China in some aspects.
CNC machine tools have also reached the world's second-class level. "Exploration No. 1" and "Discovery No. 2" are sold well in dozens of developing countries. Although the accuracy is not as good as that of developed countries, the cost performance is very good and has been favored by the majority of people in the third world.
Good reviews.
The widespread application of CNC machine tools has greatly improved the level of domestic manufacturing. The products manufactured by more than a dozen large manufacturing companies across the country have been exported to earn foreign exchange, and they have become suppliers of many large companies in the world. Changes in high-end manufacturing have made
The country is on the path to true strength.
In fact, the country's reform and opening up is not only a process of creating wealth, but also a process of reshaping the country's economic system and occupational system. It is also a process of urbanization. In this wave of reform, tens of millions of workers have mastered the
Having mastered their skills, tens of millions of college students have graduated and found jobs.
This is why the country's reform and opening up is a unique major event in human history. It does not mean that it only created wealth. This is just one aspect. The more profound impact is to change the temperament of a country and make the country fundamentally change.
Change.
The past two decades of reform and opening up have set the tone for the country, which is the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Although this slogan has not yet been proposed at the national level, the foundation has been laid. When quantitative changes turn into qualitative changes, this road to rejuvenation will inevitably begin.
.
The curtain on the great cause of national rejuvenation has slowly begun. The country will take fifty years to lead more than one billion people to restore the heyday in history. It is no exaggeration to say that the 21st century is China's century, and no one can stop China.
The great cause of national rejuvenation.
On December 31, 1999, the temperature in Fucheng dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero, and dripping water turned into ice. However, in the auditorium of Fucheng Shengshi International Convention and Exhibition Center, a cross-century party to welcome the arrival of the new century was being held.
This party was jointly organized by the Fucheng Government and Norinco, and many domestic stars were invited to perform.
In the previous life, many third- and fourth-tier cities would also build tall buildings such as the so-called International Convention and Exhibition Center. Of course, the names were just tall and the functions were far behind.
In the previous life, there was a building like this in Fucheng, which was about fifteen or six stories tall. The so-called convention and exhibition center could only handle some weddings and weddings. As for international conferences, haha, it was simply deceiving itself.
This life is different. Today's Fucheng is gradually becoming an international city. Many conferences are held every year, especially industrial development conferences. There is no way. Fucheng has four national-level scientific research institutions and 21 output values.
Industrial enterprises worth more than 50 million yuan are definitely at the top level in the country in terms of industrial technology alone.
Of course, an international city must have a matching international convention and exhibition center. Five years ago, Shengshi Group, a subsidiary of the Huo Family, built a ten-story international convention and exhibition center in Fucheng, with a total construction area of 500,000 square meters.
This has also become a landmark building in Fucheng. Standing on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Fucheng.
The auditorium on the first floor can accommodate more than 2,000 people and can hold large-scale concerts and various conferences. It is definitely a world-class scale.
Liu Lang, the middle and senior management of Norinco Group, members of several major leadership groups in Fucheng, as well as representatives from all walks of life in Fucheng and representatives from the Everbright people sat down to watch the exciting programs, songs, sketches, dances and other programs.
The program started at 1:00 p.m. and lasted four hours. As it approached midnight, a huge screen began to broadcast celebrations from all over the country.
The country also held a grand cross-century party, inviting many celebrities from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to participate. People of all ethnic groups across the country celebrated this once-in-a-millennium day.
"Ten, nine,, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! The millennium is here!"
At the same time, fireworks were set off in the square outside the Convention and Exhibition Center, and the dazzling brilliance instantly ignited the night. No one fell asleep in the entire Fucheng, looking up at the brilliant light blooming in the sky and cheering loudly: The new century has arrived, and I wish us the best.
The motherland and its people are getting better and better!
