Liu Mingzhong waited for a long time before asking this question.
What answered him was Xiao Qian's head shaking slowly.
"We visited many domestic agricultural machinery companies, but none of them met the requirements. We had no choice but to order from Germany."
Xiao Qian's tone was full of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"Even if we spend 500 million, it is still unclear whether these machines can meet our needs here."
The requirements for the use of agricultural machinery are actually not low. In particular, there are strict requirements for many indicators such as topography, soil, crops, climate, etc.
The machinery produced in Germany must be produced in accordance with the requirements of German agriculture, but no one can guarantee whether it can meet the needs of Northeast China.
Liu Mingzhong tasted something.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean..."
Xiao Qian looked at him, then pointed to the vast land around him, and said: "Mr. Liu, your first level is not doing well right now. In addition to national key projects, have you never thought about developing new sources of income? Look at these.
Land, how many large-scale agricultural machinery will be needed in the future? At present, our company’s investment is mainly
The point is here, and it will definitely expand to the surrounding areas in the future. The agricultural machinery required by then will be a huge number. And the agricultural development of our country, the demand for this in the future, will also be an amazing market. If you are interested, Yizhong
If so, we can definitely develop this market.”
Black Province is a major agricultural province, but it is definitely not a major agricultural machinery production province.
In the past, Shandong Province and Henan Province dominated the domestic agricultural machinery field.
This situation made Xiao Qian very dissatisfied.
So he took the next step and planned to enter the field of agricultural machinery manufacturing now.
"If you are willing to enter the agricultural machinery industry, I can instruct Xingguang Technology and cooperate with Harbin Institute of Technology and Harbin Engineering to develop agricultural machinery that is more suitable for us based on the actual situation of our province."
Liu Mingzhong stood quietly, silently looking at the boundless world around him, his heart already fluctuating.
First Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. has the same problem as all the old heavy industry companies in Northeast China.
That is the huge industry that is gradually being eliminated by the times and the employees who are waiting for food.
These enterprises have lost their vitality, cannot see the direction of future development, and are hampered by various burdens. They have reached a critical stage.
One level is relatively good among them.
After all, Yizhong is a major manufacturer of military products and has state support. However, other industries under the company have become unsustainable, and many workers have no jobs and no wages.
The cooperation proposed by Xiao Qian is equivalent to opening a brand new window for Liu Zhongming.
Since Yizhong is a heavy industrial enterprise, it is really not difficult for them to produce agricultural machinery.
After all, the technical content of agricultural machinery is limited, and it is easy to set up production lines and train workers.
In fact, in his previous life, Yizhong later expanded the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry and became an important supporting part of the enterprise.
This is also the reason why Xiao Qian went to Yi Zhong to cooperate.
Why do we have to give more than 500 million funds to the Germans?
If you can use the same funds to buy suitable machinery in China, and it can also help these troubled heavy industry companies to develop financial resources, why not do it?
Starlight Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Harbin Engineering University are among the many scientific research institutions involved, which will play a great role in improving the technical field of agricultural machinery manufacturing and also enhance the competitiveness of products.
"Mr. Xiao, I need to discuss this matter with other leaders of the group after I go back. But please don't worry, I believe that all of us are determined to solve the company's difficulties."
Liu Mingzhong did not give an answer on the spot, but Xiao Qian and Secretary Xu were both confident.
Although the reasons for the difficulties encountered by heavy-duty enterprises in the Northeast are huge, their determination to get out of trouble is obviously not inferior to others.
The biggest problem why there has been no change lies in financial support and finding direction.
Everyone has the determination to strive, but which direction to strive in is also an important issue.
If you struggle in the wrong direction, not only will you not be able to get out of trouble, but it will also bring disaster to your company.
What Xiao Qian did this time was to point a 100% bright path for Yi Zhong.
Xiao Qian and Liu Mingzhong are discussing cooperation in machinery manufacturing here, while Xiao Ping is on the other side, explaining the planning issues of the future industrial park to the leaders.
When Xiao Qian walked over, he heard them arguing.
"Why can't you see the existence of various villages on your planning drawings?"
This was a problem that Secretary Xu had discovered a long time ago. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked.
Xiao Qian took it and spoke frankly.
"Secretary Xu, according to our plan, in the near future, we will eliminate all natural villages and complete the merger of villages and towns."
Secretary Xu and others were frightened and extremely nervous.
"Merging villages and towns? What do you want to do?"
He looked at the confident Xiao Qian angrily and felt that the young man was so courageous. He was not afraid of making a wrong step and causing big trouble?
In fact, Xiao Qian is really not afraid.
Because Xiao Qian knows very well that merging villages and towns will definitely be a trend in Northeastern rural areas in the future.
Even in 2020, when he traveled back in time, the country had not taken any relevant measures. But the signs of this were already very clear.
But now, in order to convince Secretary Xu and others, we have to come up with precise and scientific analysis.
Xiao Qian asked Xiao Ping to help him fully expand the map.
In this way, it can be understood at a glance and increase the persuasiveness.
"Secretary Xu, you see, the total administrative area of our township is 172.15 square kilometers, but the total population is only more than 20,000. Excluding those who live in other places, the local population is only more than 10,000. These 10,000
A large population is distributed in nine administrative villages under its jurisdiction, which are further divided into several natural villages. What problems will this cause?"
Xiao Qian took the village in front of him as an example.
"You see, there are currently only thirty-five households in such a village, and most of the houses have been idle. The only transportation from this village to the outside world is a dirt road leading to the county seat and a road leading to the township government.
The dirt roads. This is a transportation problem, which makes such villages very closed."
Xiao Qian lived in the county town in his previous life and disliked coming back here very much.
Because the journey of more than 40 miles is all on dirt roads, the bumps along the way are painful.
"Although there are not many residents here, in order to ensure the life here, the construction of various facilities must be done, right? Power supply, radio and television, and future broadband networks must be fully accessible. But just for a village like this
, but it will cause a huge waste of state-owned assets."
Secretary Xu looked at the village in front of him that seemed to be crumbling in the cold wind, and at the sparsely populated environment around him, and sighed helplessly.
The Black Province is vast and sparsely populated. Although it is a symbol of rich natural resources, it is obvious that the construction of infrastructure will greatly increase the country's investment costs.
Xiao Qian talked about a more serious issue.
"I don't know if you have noticed, but there is no school in a village like this. In other words, if the children here want to go to school, they can only go to Qiantun or the brigade. But both Qiantun and the brigade are quite far away from here.
One or more than twenty miles. If there are bicycles, the children can go faster. If there are no bicycles, it is very unrealistic to just walk. You said, if you want to build a school for such a village,
Is it necessary?"
In fact, the dropout rate in rural Heilongjiang during this period was very high.
There is only one reason: the cost of education is too high.
The cost of education is not a matter of tuition fees, but a series of problems caused by time, distance, and school operations.
During this period, due to economic problems in rural areas, village-run schools were unsustainable and closed down one after another, making it more difficult to educate rural children.
Even if there are some village-run schools that can persist, no good teachers are willing to come because of financial and environmental issues.
The serious lack of educational resources makes it impossible for children here to learn anything truly useful even if they go to school.
In the future, rural children will have to gather in county towns for education and compete with children in county towns for educational resources.
"The last problem is that in such scattered villages, farmers can only build their own stoves to keep themselves warm in winter, using coal or firewood as fuel. But look at the chimneys spewing smoke.
How much pollution has been caused to the environment?”
Xiao Qian was talking about the problems in the village in front of him, but his hand was pointed at the county seat forty miles away.
From here, the county seat cannot be seen.
However, it can be clearly seen that the sky above the entire county seems to be covered by a huge black cover in this winter.
It's just like the protective shield for earthlings' bases on alien planets in science fiction movies.
It's just that the protective cover is made of crystal clear energy, and the cover that hangs over the county is the result of the exhaust gas being emitted.
Every winter, residents in the county endure such pollution, which seriously affects people's health.
Because rural areas are scattered, there are not many households in each residential area. Even if every household is emitting smoke and dust, the overall effect is not very obvious.
Therefore, when viewed from the ground in the countryside, the sky is as blue as a mirror and as clear as new.
But even so, it is harmful to the environment.
"If we can complete the merger of villages and towns, we can bring into play the benefits of agglomeration, solve the problem of transportation inconvenience in one go, solve the education problem, and solve the environmental pollution problem through central heating and emission control. At the same time, we can also contribute to the country.
infrastructure construction, saving a lot of costs.”
Xiao Qian explained all the benefits of merging villages and towns in one breath. Whether he can impress Secretary Xu and others depends on this.
