The next day was Sunday. Liu Lang and Wang Zhendong arrived at Jiang Botao's home at around nine o'clock in the morning. Of course, the relationship between Liu Lang and Jiang Botao cannot be compared with that of Lu Mingzhi, but compared with other ministerial-level officials in the country
, the two are still very familiar with each other. After all, they are both in the industrial sector. Jiang Botao has also visited Huaxia Industrial Technology several times for inspections. Coupled with Jiang Hong's relationship, Liu Lang will call him Mr. Jiang when he sees him.
"Liu Lang, yesterday Zhendong said that you would be a guest at my place today. I went to the morning market early in the morning to buy vegetables. Look at this, the little yellow croaker. It's hard to buy this stuff. Your aunt made the braised little yellow croaker.
Yellow flowers are a must-have!
And this, fresh beef. I heard that you like to eat steak in the United States. We can’t make steak, we can only stew it. Only when the people’s vegetable baskets are good will we feel at ease!”
Except for their superior status, the top leaders of these countries are no different from ordinary people. They usually go to the morning market early to buy groceries, and sometimes drink bean juice. They don't worry about anyone betraying them.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I rejected the McDonnell Douglas project during the meeting a few days ago. I am here specifically to apologize to you this time!"
Liu Lang opened his mouth and said.
"What apology? Liu Lang, I wouldn't be happy if you said that!"
Jiang Botao's face darkened slightly.
"You are also doing it for the country. If it weren't for you this time, the country might have lost 500 million US dollars, and then I would have become a sinner, so I have to thank you."
Jiang Botao didn't take this matter seriously.
"Having said that, I heard that this project spent a lot of manpower and material resources just in the preliminary research. The money can be earned back, but the morale of the staff will be affected!"
"What's wrong with morale? This is work...Besides, didn't you tell us to take advantage of those Americans? I have already asked people to negotiate with them and told them clearly that many of our departments still have no plans for this project.
There are doubts, and I hope that the other party will allow us to go to the United States for on-the-spot inspections. I have listed more than ten departments for the Americans, including our comrades working on the front line, as well as relevant provincial and municipal units. If they do not agree, then this project will be
Stop talking!"
Now that the country has chosen to believe Liu Lang, McDonnell Douglas has become a big liar, and there are many ways to deal with the big liar.
This is very interesting. If you think of the country and McDonnell Douglas as two gamblers sitting at the gambling table, then the country was at a disadvantage before. Someone offered a large chip to replace the small chip in your hand. The country
After analyzing the pros and cons, choose the opponent's chips.
But Liu Lang not only exposed the opponent's trick, but also revealed the opponent's trump card. McDonnell Douglas was now a powerful company, and in addition to sabotaging China's large aircraft project, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
But now, McDonnell Douglas's perfect strategy of killing two birds with one stone has become a joke. The Chinese side does not expose it. Instead, they use the trick: Don't you want to make money? It's easy to handle. Let's meet a few small goals of ours first.
In order to achieve their big goal of earning 500 million yuan, McDonnell Douglas will definitely not refuse the small goals proposed by China, but what awaits them is the tragic ending of losing their wives and losing their troops.
Liu Lang, Wang Zhendong and Jiang Botao were sitting in the living room. The air conditioner was on and it was very cool. Liu Lang took a look and saw that the air conditioner was a Gemei brand.
"Come, Liu Lang, Zhendong, drink water and eat fruit!"
Jiang Botao greeted these two people.
"Uncle Jiang, we are here to report our work to you this time!"
Wang Zhendong said directly.
"Report to me? Haha, Zhendong, do you want to engage in industry?"
Jiang Botao knew that Wang Zhendong had resigned as general manager of Yongli Group.
"Well, Uncle Jiang, you are right. Liu Lang and I are going to engage in industry."
"This is a good thing! What should we do? Tell us!"
It was a big deal for Liu Lang to go into industry, but he had never mentioned it before.
"Mr. Jiang, I plan to return to Fucheng after graduation next year, buy all the nearly exhausted mechanical processing plants in the form of special enterprise reform, and then integrate them to form an industrial group company!"
Liu Lang said from the side.
"Oh! Implementing special enterprise reform in Fucheng? This is a good idea... I know that in Fucheng, when our country was first established, we cooperated with the Soviet Union to introduce more than 130 large projects, and Fucheng alone has
Two, a 550,000-kilowatt power plant and the Fucheng open-pit mine with a reserve of one billion tons. Fucheng has contributed too much coal and electricity resources to our country over the years. Of course, it also gave birth to a genius like you.
, it is a blessing to our country!”
Jiang Botao knows Fucheng very well.
"Mr. Jiang, you are right. Fucheng is my hometown. I know it very well. There are these two big projects, especially coal resources. Many factories have been built around an open-pit mine in recent years. But in
Under the general environment of reform and opening up, Fucheng has begun to decline in recent years. If reforms are not carried out, the economy there will begin to decline within five years, not to mention Fucheng, but also the entire northern Liaoning Province!
"
Liu Lang directly expressed his worries without mincing words.
"Really? Why?"
Jiang Botao might not take it seriously when others said this, but it was different when Liu Lang said it. He immediately took it seriously.
"The level of machinery manufacturing is developing rapidly now, mainly due to the large-scale introduction of German machine tools, which has made many small factories unable to sell their products. If the products cannot be sold, workers cannot even pay their wages. Although the state will provide some guarantees, but
You know, our country’s small
There are tens of thousands of factories. In a small city like Fucheng alone, there are 60 or 70 factories with nearly 10,000 workers. How many are there in the entire northern Liaoning Province? How many are there in the entire country? Once there are problems with these factories, there will be nearly 1,000 workers.
Can the country handle this big problem of tens of thousands of workers?"
Jiang Botao became a little serious after hearing this. Liu Lang always instilled many advanced ideas in people, and many people were confused about the development of chips and computers. Fortunately, the senior officials were very "obedient" and allowed Liu Lang to do whatever he wanted.
The country also supported it, and the final result was very good, earning a lot of foreign exchange.
Jiang Botao didn't understand those things, but he was very clear about the issues Liu Lang raised now.
The country's industry is indeed facing great troubles. A large number of small factories have suffered losses. In many places, workers' lives have been affected. Fortunately, these enterprises are state-owned enterprises, and the state still adopts planned economy management in treating these enterprises.
In this way, even if the products they produce are outdated, some funds will be provided to at least allow the workers to live.
But this is not a long-term solution. As Liu Lang said, there are too many employees. Not to mention that the country has little money now. Even if it has money, it cannot always guarantee the bottom line. The most important thing is to rely on reform to revitalize these enterprises.
But how easy is it to revitalize these companies? Many companies are not just waiting to die. They have asked to purchase advanced equipment, but they have no money and need state support. Last year alone, there were more than 300 companies in the 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaobei Province.
A company asked for money, with a total capital of more than 500 million. Naturally, other provinces were not far behind and asked for money. The three northeastern provinces involved a total of 1.2 billion. What is the national figure? Jiang Botao has statistical data in his hand.
As many as more than seven billion.
Isn’t this a joke? Not to mention whether the country has the money, even if it does, it can’t give it to you for free! Like those small factories with only a hundred or ten people, will you use the equipment they give you? Can you repair it? Can you compete with those small factories?
A big factory with thousands of people? Just dream!
