The first thing that needs to be solved is the country's increased efforts to open up. This is a good thing, but what follows is an out-of-control situation, where people are introduced just for the sake of introduction and completely ignore the chaos in the market.
Bureau.
In Liu Lang's previous life, this period began around 1986, but now the country has clearly stated in the new five-year plan that it will fully open up, which has brought forward that period of chaos by nearly a year.
What kind of chaos is this? To put it bluntly, we are repeatedly importing foreign production lines without considering whether these production lines are outdated. Most of the production lines are on the verge of being scrapped. These outdated or even scrapped production lines are sold for several times the price, and they are openly used.
When high technology is introduced into the country, most of it ends up being unusable.
During this period, if a foreign company cannot get the government to accept a contract to purchase their products, they can go to provincial and municipal units to complete one-on-one transactions. In this way, they sell a large amount of inferior equipment and outdated technology to China.
With the enthusiasm for technology, anything called high technology can sell well, even if it has no technical content at all or China already has better technology.
Liu Lang had read a lot of materials about this period in his previous life, and the waste and ignorance of enterprises was simply shocking.
For example, a steel rolling mill in the south imported tens of millions of dollars of equipment, but it was left idle for a long time due to power problems and was eventually scrapped. Sichuan Province spent 800 million yuan to introduce a complete set of vinylon production equipment from an island country. After completion, it was discovered that natural gas supplied a
It should be impossible to solve it, even if the Chongqing Steel Plant
Even if all the natural gas was moved over, it would not be enough to maintain half of the operation; the Daqing Fertilizer Factory introduced an American production line and streamlined the original 1,520 employees to 315. Since then, management problems have emerged one after another, and the quality of technicians cannot guarantee professional cooperation. After two years, it will no longer be able to operate.
No "change back".
There are also blind introductions and low utilization rates. In 1987, Hanjiang City conducted a census on the introduction work and found that 87 companies in the city had a total of 911 pieces of equipment worth 51 million yuan. They had been vacant for a long time, and some of them had not even opened the packaging boxes. 87
The US Business Weekly on December 15, 2018 estimated that the value of idle equipment in Chinese factories was about 20 billion yuan, a considerable part of which was imported equipment a year ago.
In addition, there are more complete sets of equipment and less technology introduction. In the import rush, complete sets of equipment account for 80%, single equipment accounts for 17%, and the introduction of technology, which is regarded as the first target, only accounts for 3%. After the introduction of many equipment, its production
Required parts and equipment maintenance are still entirely dependent on foreign companies.
Repeated introduction and lack of planning. Around 1986, a total of 12 color TV production lines were introduced in Shanghai. Two years later, only 7 were in operation, and the rest were idle and scrapped. This kind of phenomenon is common in various industries and regions.
In the import craze, things often happen. For example, Qingjiang Province imported a set of concrete pumps from Italy and the Federal Republic of Germany through a trading company on Hong Kong Island. It turned out that they were old equipment from 30 years ago.
Except for the new sign, all other parts of the equipment are worn out.
Things like this abound. For countries, a large amount of waste caused foreign exchange to flow out in vain, making countries with few foreign exchange reserves even more stretched. By the end of 1986, the national trade deficit reached a record high of 13.78 billion US dollars.
, equivalent to 52% of total exports.
For enterprises, it created unnecessary competition, which paved the way for subsequent inflation. In 1986, 9 provinces and cities introduced 9 lines of the same model from an Italian company.
"Ariston" refrigerator production line, the price of each production line is 3
0 million yuan, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 units. For a time, China has produced Huizhou Meiling, Mudanjiang Beibingyang, Nanjing Bole, Shanghai Far East, Jingdezhen Huayi, Chongqing Wuzhou, Baoji Changling, Lanzhou Changfeng and Zhongyi refrigerators.
formed the so-called "Nine Ariston Brothers".
During the subsequent rush to buy home appliances, these companies were all prosperous for a while and became major local profit and tax players. However, 10 years later, eight of them had long since ceased to exist, leaving only Meiling...
The country and enterprises have fallen into a state of dizziness during this period. All foreign things are considered good things, but in fact, many technologies are lagging behind domestic ones, but no one is focusing on these.
A large number of outdated or even scrapped production lines have been introduced into the country. Although it has played a great role in prospering the market, on the other hand, it has also caused hidden dangers in the enthusiasm of independent research and development in related domestic industries: since there are foreign countries, why spend great efforts in research and development of our own?
technology?
Liu Lang believes that although foreign technology is stronger than domestic technology, don't forget that domestic companies, whether individual companies or national companies, are their own sons, and foreign technology only plays a supporting role in improving their own technical capabilities.
It is fundamental. Only by focusing on domestic enterprises will those industrial workers be taken seriously and have the motivation to keep making progress. If they just blindly imitate, the final result of these people can only be the same as in their previous lives.
The number of words in this book is not too large, just over 10,000, but not a single sentence is nonsense. The various problems listed in the book are all mistakes that the country has made in the past. Now history is about to repeat itself. Liu Lang naturally cannot stand by and watch. Of course,
Liu Lang does not believe that these past mistakes can be completely resolved, but as long as the country can recognize and work hard to make changes, as long as it does better than in previous lives, a little change can have a huge impact over time.
That's enough.
Liu Lang's "National Development Issues in the Next Five Years" was quickly sent to Zhao Hongyang. Two days later, senior officials from various ministries gathered together again, and the chairperson was Mr. Deng, who was already in his eighties.
A 20-year-old man, he was holding a simplified booklet and looking at it carefully. He smoked a cigarette and frowned from time to time.
Zhao Hongyang was filled with emotions when he looked at Mr. Deng.
Since two years ago, Mr. Deng has rarely attended meetings, and only appears once a year at the national meeting at the end of the year. However, Liu Lang's two books made him appear in the small town regardless of his health in just two months.
The scope of the meeting was enough to show the importance Mr. Deng attached to it.
Of course, these two books are indeed very well written. No, to describe them as very good is to belittle the value of the two books. To describe them as shocking is not an exaggeration. The content of the first book is about the future service industry of the world.
According to a development outlook, the world will enter a wave of service industry development. The country must develop around the service industry and use its own advantages to attract global companies to invest, thereby promoting the country's economic growth.
You must know that the country has already written a five-year plan for the next five years, but after the appearance of this book, it has made major adjustments. All new planning and development ideas are written around this book. Of course, it is not Liu Lang's
This book changed the thinking of the country's top officials. This was the country's original thinking. It was just Liu Lang's book that gave them a sense of enlightenment. Now that many things are understood, of course, those side stories should be dealt with.
The last section has been removed.
This five-year plan report has been supported by the vast majority of representatives. It can be said that it is what everyone expected. Everyone is ready to go back and work hard. In just half a month, more than a dozen provinces and cities have reported projects for investment, many of which have been reported.
City cadres are all preparing to go abroad for inspections after the New Year.
At this juncture, Liu Lang wrote a second book. If the first book gave everyone hope and a goal to strive for, then this second book gave everyone a blow in the head.
