Chapter 446 Two good news
After talking to a group of inexplicable bigwigs, Hu Wenhai did not stay in the imperial capital for a long time but hurried back to the embroidery city.
As Hu Wenhai expected, although he was interested in his ability to accurately predict Black Monday, no one forced him to hand over the possible secret behind this.
In front of him, the leaders again asked him not to leave the country in a short period of time, but on the other hand, they informed him of two things.
First, the procedure for upgrading Xiucheng to a special zone has finally been completed, and various policies will be implemented soon. The special zone's prescription Hu Wenhai will be able to achieve industrial upgrading and reform and opening up in the Northeast. We will wait and see if this prescription prescribed by Hu Wenhai will be able to achieve industrial upgrading and reform and opening up in the Northeast.
Another thing is that the country intends to expand its export trade with the Soviet Union. Manli has changed from a county town to a county-level city directly under Inner Mongolia. With the development of Sino-Soviet trade, it is likely to become a planned city in the future.
These two things seem to have nothing to do with Hu Wenhai on the surface, but are government-level strategic changes. But this is actually closely related to Hu Wenhai. The main driving force for industrial upgrading in Northeast China will undoubtedly rely on the support of China Railway Construction Investment Bank to leverage the already slightly tired Northeast heavy industry and the pace of reform that is gradually falling into a stagnant pool of water.
The opening of Manli is inseparable from the support of China Railway Construction Investment Bank for the Ministry of Railways. The expansion of Soviet trade will inevitably increase the transportation volume of Binzhou Railway, and even the entire railway line from Shengjing to Bingcheng will be electrified and networked.
The investment in these two projects alone, the Planning and Economic Commission estimates that the design assets are at least 100 billion yuan.
The hundreds of billions of RMB in the 1980s were more valuable than the one trillion in the 21st century. If the country had not actually seen the continued reform and opening up, the future of the Northeast would not be optimistic, it would have been really difficult to make this decision.
Reform and opening up cannot be interrupted, and the decline of the Northeast seems to be inevitable.
Judging from the current types of foreign trade, the main force of China's export products is undoubtedly light industry and raw materials.
China's exports in large quantities and is constantly strengthening its export industry can only be light industry. The only one that undertakes the transfer of industries in the country can only be light industry. The main force of imported products is various high-tech products and manufacturing production equipment.
Judging from the current data, the total import volume in the first three quarters of 1987 reached a frightening US$527.39 billion. Of this, at least US$1.2 billion was foreign investment projects in China, used to import foreign manufacturing equipment. In the words of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, the import volume of automobiles and home appliances is "further controlled." This is basically the "whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
The specific import volume of automobiles and home appliances this year is that even if you search through all newspapers and journals on the market, this data is not something that is difficult to obtain by relevant personnel within the system.
After deducting these figures, the import figures of domestic enterprises in the first three quarters of 1987 are estimated to be as high as more than US$2.8 billion.
The total amount of planned foreign loan agreements in 1987 reached US$1626.5 billion, and the actual use of this money reached US$1533.2 billion. The scale of borrowing increased by at least 3 compared with 1985. The main flow of this money to the open areas along the southeast coast, while the big heads flowed into the Northeast. Among them, shipbuilding and railway transportation were the main forces in taking over loans, with at least tens of billions of dollars of funds, which were used to provide supporting the industrial upgrading of Northeast China.
So, in the first three quarters of 1987, what is the GDP of the machine manufacturing industry in Bohai Province, the leader of the Northeast economy? It is only a pitiful RMB 1.2 billion.
The Northeast economy is like sitting on a large rocket that hastily launched. If it is not soaring into the sky, it is a deep abyss.
The traditional advantages of the Northeast industry, with foreign investment and the development of light industry in the southeast region, is the rapid increase in the import capacity of production equipment, and the advantages of the Northeast machine manufacturing industry are rapidly declining.
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the reform and opening up, and from the Soviet aid to the construction of the United States, the Northeast actually played a role in technology output with its unique industrial advantages and the de facto country-locking policy.
Such roles in the international community are generally used by advanced countries to transfer their secondary technology to unreachable areas, earn profits in the process, and support their huge and expensive technical teams.
In the 30 years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Northeast region supported many industrial construction projects to China. But the problem is that during these 30 years, China was a planned economy country. Although the technology transfer and industrial expansion in the Northeast were by no means free of charge, it was not even more profitable. Correspondingly, the industrial upgrading process in the Northeast region has been extremely slow in the past 30 years.
Of course, then again, if Northeast really wants to make a profit in this process, then China's industrial exhibition will obviously not be as large as it is today.
The role of Northeast China at this stage is, for example, like the main base in real-time strategy games.
Anyone who has played Warcraft games knows that generally speaking, farmers make buildings on the main base, while functional buildings are responsible for sending troops. When the main base fills up a floor of useful technology, it is necessary to upgrade the main base to unlock more buildings.
The Northeast where my wife has been a hard-working daughter-in-law for 30 years has finally built an industrial system that looks like the past. It can be considered as supporting my main base to upgrade a wave of technology?
I’m not afraid of not making any profit back then. Anyway, we are planning the economy, and we also have the advantage of cost 5 when upgrading the industry.
But at this time, reform and opening up were coming.
Even if the Northeast does not upgrade its industries, it can only achieve the national second-level and second-level industrial transfers in the international market, and its technical level can explode. The old industrial bases in Northeast China are still adhering to many technologies in the 1950s and 1960s.
Historically, it was a pity that under the conditions at that time, the industrial upgrading opportunities in Northeast China could only be sacrificed in exchange for economic takeoff after the reform and opening up.
When the country has money, we will go back and make up for the lessons. Just like the road of developing industries to first pollution and then control them, have many stinky ditches regained their vitality?
If you make money by taking over industrial transfer, you can turn back to the Northeast to revitalize it. It is better than the people who dragged a boat to die together. From a national perspective, this decision is not wrong, but on the contrary, it is right and can't be right anymore.
Logically speaking, there is a high possibility of success. Isn’t industrial upgrading just money? What can’t be solved by money? I’m afraid there isn’t it.
But if you put it aside, the relationship between men and women is like a mirror. After it is broken, it is barely stuck back, and the ones that are reflected are all scumbags.
Who would have thought that a big layoff would be the crazy ugly behavior of the bureaucrats on this land in just ten years. The hearts of the people in the Northeast were like mirrors, and they were broken, and after they were broken, they could no longer stick back. They barely used them, and the ones they reflected were all scumbags.
Sometimes the cheapest thing is worth only one steamed bun, and sometimes the expensive thing is definitely not enough to even 1.6 trillion.
As long as the mirror is all scumbags, I'm afraid the biggest function of this 6 trillion yuan is that the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou will be saved again!
What's more, the human heart that forms a mirror may be almost gone.
The good thing about reform and opening up is that compared with the first thirty years, some people in the last thirty years have the power to vote with their feet. Ask Uncle Li, can the team be formed if this person is disbanded?
It's far away.
Hu Wenhai chose a path with a low success rate for the Northeast, and became the first to win the treatment of competing on the same stage as the international market in China. If he lost, he would have to start over again.
What's more, under the premise of fait accompli, the country has to change its attitude.
On the one hand, there are tens of billions of dollars in foreign loans and tens of billions of dollars in investments, which may be a trillion yuan in supporting facilities. On the other hand, there is the weakness of the Northeast industry and the reality that the equipment manufacturing industry only has a output value of tens of billions of yuan.
If it fails, the Northeast will have a worse result than the deaths in history.
The heavy industry base is like studying English for four years in college and taking the CET-4 exam three times.
If you really can't learn Madan's English, do you have to turn around and learn French? Just thinking about the painful memories of memorizing words at six o'clock every day, you don't have the courage to start over.
The same is true for the country. There is an old industrial base in Northeast China that seems to be breathable. It is really painful to start from scratch when you want to change places. Let's see if this semi-disabled can be saved.
But Hu Wenhai's appearance has completely deviated from the historical trajectory of the Northeast. The problem now is that if the Northeast is not saved now, China will really lose even a semi-disabled if it wants to upgrade its industries in the future.
It was under this background that Hu Wenhai finally waited for the two best news of the year.
The opening of the Xiucheng Special Zone and the expansion of trade with the Soviet Union is the biggest positive news in the Northeast. Don’t think that these two decisions are easy. Behind them are changes at the strategic level of the entire country.
As an old industrial base, the Northeast's mission was originally to seek stability, so it missed the last opportunity in history and had to go to the stage of a large layoff.
Now that Xiucheng has opened a port, it means that the economic situation in the Northeast will change from seeking stability to seeking change, and it involves more than just the Northeast?
It is even more amazing to expand trade with the Soviet Union. This means that Sino-Soviet relations will recover, which means that there may be cracks in Sino-US relations, which means that the entire diplomatic form will undergo serious changes.
Behind these two policies, the impact can be said to be the general trend of the world, so it is no wonder that it takes so long to make a decision.
No matter what, after all these years of hard work, Hu Wenhai finally got an opportunity to completely change the world.
Since that's the case, I didn't say anything, do it! To be continued.
