That night, Jiang Botao hosted Liu Lang and Wang Zhendong at home. His wife personally cooked a home-cooked meal for them.
"Liu Lang, you are attracting the attention of the whole country now! You just came back a few days ago, and the top management already knew that Prime Minister Zhongda will hold an economic dispatch meeting in two days, and he hopes you can come to participate!"
Jiang Botao conveyed the invitation from newly appointed Prime Minister Fang Zhongda to Liu Lang.
Wang Zhendong on the side felt a little emotional. Now Liu Lang has really become a very important figure. Even the head of the country would add the word "hope" when inviting him to a meeting. Don't underestimate these two words, it is a tribute to Liu Lang.
kind of respect.
"Hey...I really can't take any time off these two days, okay! I'll just go there then! But what are we going to discuss? I'm not an economist."
Liu Lang "pretended".
"Haha, if you don't understand economics, no one else will... But economic issues have nothing to do with you. I just want to meet you. You are a treasure. Many people have not seen you for more than a year. It's very difficult to see you."
Miss you!"
There is nothing wrong with what Jiang Botao said. Liu Lang has been in the United States for the past two years. He came back once last year and was almost beaten. It was also that time that he met with Premier Zhao Hongyang and proposed the idea of an industrial zone, which attracted the attention of the country.
.
Now Zhao Hongyang has retired, but the country is also determined to build an industrial zone. This matter has become a project that attracts national attention. Liu Lang, as the main person in charge, has certainly attracted attention. It can be said that the technology he learned abroad has
It is the key to the success of the industrial zone.
A child who is only eight years old has become a crucial figure in the country's industrial development. This kind of thing has never happened in the world.
Liu Lang is used to this. He has even met great figures like Deng Lao several times. Other leaders will not let him feel any nervousness at all, and there is no need to prepare a speech. They can just talk about it when the time comes.
.
"Liu Lang, come here, let's talk while we eat. Damn it, there is Coke in the refrigerator. Please take out two bottles!"
Jiang Botao also did not meet with Liu Lang and Wang Zhendong.
"Thank you, Grandma Sun!"
Liu Lang took the cold Coke from Mrs. Jiang Botao's hand.
"Uncle Jiang, Liu Lang has switched to taking Jianlibao now!"
Wang Zhendong said with a smile on the side.
"Oh? He switched to a domestic drink? Okay, great! I thought Liu Lang was still drinking Coke like before... He also has Jianlibao at home, so hurry up and get him a bottle!"
Soon, a bottle of Jianlibao was placed in front of Liu Lang.
"Come on, let's take a sip first!"
Jiang Botao and Wang Zhendong both drank beer, and the three of them raised their glasses and took a sip.
"Come on, let's eat some food!"
Jiang Botao greeted the two of them.
"Liu Lang, I heard that you have learned a lot in the United States in the past two years! Come and tell Grandpa Jiang, what knowledge have you learned?"
Liu Lang was not polite and briefly told the other party about his experience studying in the United States.
"Hmm, engines, smelting, new materials, good guy, you have learned a lot. Okay, great. I believe that as long as you turn what you have learned into reality, then our country's industrial level will be improved
It’s improved a lot!”
Even though Jiang Botao didn't understand most of what Liu Lang said, he was still very happy because he believed that Liu Lang would not make up lies.
"Grandpa Jiang, I want to ask you to help me with something."
"What's up?"
"I hope Huaxia Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. will establish a branch in Fucheng. I believe we will succeed faster if we join forces!"
"What kind of busyness is this? In the past six months, Huaxia Industry has sent more than a dozen students to help Fucheng Mining College cultivate talents. Zhendong, you and Professor Xiong are responsible for this matter together. Doesn't this mean that you have begun to cooperate? Continue
All we have to do is continue to cooperate!"
Jiang Botao immediately agreed to Liu Lang's request. This matter was nothing serious.
"Liu Lang, what else do you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it. For example, enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of Industry can be moved there. What about the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 machine tool factories in Shen City, and Shen City?
There are a total of twelve factories in Shencheng that are affiliated to the Ministry of Industry, including Chengdu Main Machinery Factory, Shencheng Machinery Factory, and Shencheng Machinery Factory.
There are seven more companies in Lianhai City, including Fushun, Anshan, and Chaoyang. Each city has one or two, but you don’t have one in Fucheng. After all, it belongs to the Ministry of Coal. But it doesn’t matter. You can ask Lao Zhang for help. If the industry is strong, he will
Also closely related.
Those affiliated to the Ministry of Industry are all large enterprises, with annual output values ranging from tens of millions to millions. I can let them set up branches in Fucheng to help you."
As the Minister of Industry, Jiang Botao can move all these enterprises to Fucheng with just one sentence.
Liu Lang was really emotional when he heard these data. In Shen City, there are twelve companies affiliated with the Ministry of Industry alone, Lianhai City has seven companies, and other cities in northern Liaoning Province. There are no companies directly under the Ministry of Industry in Fucheng.
Because it owns a large coal mine, this mine is under the Ministry of Coal.
In addition to enterprises affiliated to the national level, there are even more enterprises affiliated to provincial-level departments. There are probably more than a hundred enterprises directly affiliated to the provincial level in Shencheng, the provincial capital.
With such a strong industrial base, even if one tenth is left, it will be very impressive. However, twenty years later, there will be no more than five companies that can still support their appearance. Liu Lang remembers that there are only a few companies that are somewhat famous.
Of course, the most famous one is the Shencheng Aircraft Factory. It is the country’s military industry enterprise and must survive. Moreover, at that time, the Xichuan Aircraft Factory was much more powerful than the Shencheng Aircraft Factory. Many of the country’s new aircraft were manufactured in Xichuan.
manufactured.
More than 20 years later, the country put forward a strategic plan to revitalize the old industrial base in Northeast China. But to be honest, the so-called old industrial base was already in name only at that time. The industrial level of many places in the south exceeded that in the north. This term was only used in history.
It once belonged to the north, and it is as difficult to revitalize it as to reshape it.
Now that history is being replayed, Liu Lang will never let go of this opportunity. He will not let the country come up with any strategy to revitalize the old industrial base in 20 years, as long as these enterprises can have one-tenth good development
If this continues, in twenty years the industrial level of the North will be comparable to that of Western countries. Even if it cannot compare with island countries, Germany, and the United States, it will still have to compete with established industrial powers such as France and the United Kingdom. So what else needs to be revitalized?
?
These are all things Liu Lang has to do. Of course, in recent years, he has not been able to take care of them for the time being. Even if Liu Lang wants to help them, the other party may not be willing.
Jiang Botao said that Liu Lang would not even consider letting these companies establish branches in Fucheng. As Jiang Botao said, their annual output value is as high as tens of millions, and they pay millions in profits and taxes, and they are living well. Even if an administrative order is passed
Forcing them to move here will also make the other party unhappy, and they may think that they are trying to steal their jobs.
In Liu Lang's view, companies with an annual output value of tens of millions of yuan are not small, but the situation of these companies is not optimistic. All companies directly under the Ministry of Industry have hundreds or thousands of employees? It turns out that Liu Lang
The Fucheng Bearing Factory where Lang's father Liu Donglai works is just a city-level enterprise with more than a hundred employees.
It would be fine if all these people were working, but most of them are overstaffed. This is also a common problem of large state-owned enterprises. The output value is high, but the profits are not much. Most of the profits are spent on labor costs, and when there are many people, egalitarianism is required.
It’s true that frontline workers earn a lot, but they’re only slightly more than their colleagues who drink tea and chat every day. This is the biggest dampener on employees’ motivation.
