Chapter 459: Chinese workers

In fact, the information industry often needs not instructions from superiors, but innovation awareness. The country now lacks this corporate environment. This is also the reason why we can only follow the United States and other developed countries in the information field. This requires a long-term cultivation of innovation awareness and change of concepts, and it is not possible to solve it by establishing an experimental zone.

Only when many domestic Internet companies have made a bloody path in the fierce competition, got rid of the path of imitating others, and formed their own corporate culture, can we say that the information industry can mature. In contrast, even the National Education Network and the internal military network that Yang Xing invested heavily in and helped build can only be used to build backbone networks. The Internet speed can be considered as a comparison with foreign high-speed networks. Most regions are still using telephone dialing methods with only 54k speeds. Even the most basic Internet speed cannot be guaranteed, so what information strategy is there? Yang Xing thinks that Li Guozhu will ask anyone who gave him the idea to build a strategic information pilot zone to any family in the province that can surf the Internet on the spot to experience the speed of telephone Internet access, and ensure that he will not dare to sell this idea to Li Guozhu again.

Now, like most inland provinces in the country, the network bandwidth is concentrated in the hands of national teams such as China Unicom and Telecom. Li Guozhu wants to build a strategic pilot zone. The first thing he thinks is to expand the network bandwidth within the province and lay the provincial high-speed network. This is also the reason why Yang Xing and Kao directly find out, after all, they are both experts in this field.

But he ignored one thing: the Internet is a platform that combines hardware and software. It not only depends on the speed of the Internet, but more importantly, the amount of information that everyone can get. It was not until 1994 that China officially connected with the international Internet. Internet companies only emerged, just like a toddler. Even if a high-speed network is established, it cannot provide sufficient and satisfactory content services for this platform. This is like building a wide highway without enough vehicles running on it. The remaining space is a waste for developers.

Li Guozhu, who didn't know that his thoughts had been sentenced to death by Yang Xing, sat down and asked Kao Kao about the issue of going on the highway network. As early as privately, Kao Kao had to sing with Yang Xing in a tactful and tactful way to build a highway network, and let Li Guozhu and others understand that the success of the information pilot zone not only depends on how fast the Internet environment is built, but also on the fact that there is sufficient content service support. With the current information environment of Zhongyuan Province, I am afraid that it is too ambitious to build a national strategic pilot zone.

After listening to their explanation, although Li Guozhu was not angry, his face was always not very good-looking. As an official, as long as he had a little political ideal, no one would want to let the economy develop under his rule, the people praised it. Central Plains Province is located in the inland and failed to catch up with the tide of reform and opening up along the coast. The so-called step-by-step lag is lagging behind one step. The two pillars of the province's economy are the first in the country. Although the output of agricultural products is large, the contribution to GDP is even weak. In addition to the reform of Jiudu, the large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in the province have been implemented more vividly, and there are many problems in other cities and counties. In recent years, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises has become even more damaging, and a large number of laid-off workers have emerged. The invisible unemployment rate in urban and rural areas has increased, which has put a lot of pressure on the provincial finances.

Li Guozhu was able to squeeze out a large number of opponents and ascend to the throne of governor because his personality was very in line with the appetite of central leaders such as Cheng Canghai, and he dared to overcome difficulties and was not afraid of offending others. Moreover, under his rule, he also had talents like Kan Dongtian and Yang Xing who were good at economics. Therefore, after he came to power, he quickly cleared the Provincial Guotou Company, blocked a big financial hole with the assistance of Yang Xing, and fully supported Jiudu's bold innovations, and promoted successful experiences to the whole province, doing many practical things.

But the freezing three feet is not a day long. The economy of Zhongyuan Province wants to stand out among many Tongji, and even wants to catch up with the level of coastal provinces. The conventional reform measures are limited after all. To make the economy of Zhongyuan Province change greatly, innovative thinking is required. Therefore, when someone suggested that the province catch up with the most fashionable Internet economy car and apply to the central government to establish a strategic pilot zone for ***, he agreed without thinking much, but he did not expect that before it even started, it was extinguished by Yang Xing's basin of cold water.

Yang Xing saw Li Guozhu's face and knew that he was a little discouraged and couldn't bear it. He was planning to establish himself in the two central and western industrial parks of Zhongxing International and radiate to the central and western regions of the country. He just took this opportunity to bring out his ideas and make Li Guozhu happy.

"Governor Li doesn't have to be too discouraged. Actually, I have an immature idea, which may be more effective than the information test area." Yang Xing's words undoubtedly broke the cloud of failure. Everyone knows that he is a modest word. Yang Xing has always liked to plan and then move, and his strategic vision can see farther than most people. Since he said it in front of Li Guozhu, it will definitely not be an "immature" idea, so everyone's interests are temporarily attracted by him.

"In January this year, the country adopted the national policy of the development of the western region. The main purpose of the policy is to use the remaining productivity of the eastern provinces to support some western provinces to improve the economic and social development level of the western provinces. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the promotion of the policy, it also gave many policy preferential measures to the western provinces. However, the exit of the old industrial base provinces in the central and northeast between the eastern coastal provinces and the western provinces is quite embarrassing. Governor Li is also worried about this. Wanting to go to the information pilot zone is a compensation measure from the central government, right?" Li Guozhu asked this question with a dark face and speechless. Everyone present was full of human spirits. When he heard this, he suddenly realized that Li Guozhu was so anxious to find Yang Xing and Kan Dongtian to come to the city university. It turned out that this meaning was still there.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to pull seedlings to encourage growth to develop high-tech. The province actually has many advantages that have not been discovered. Let me first analyze the so-called weaknesses in the province. The traditional concept believes that the Central Plains Province is a major agricultural province, and the stock of major crops and livestock ranks among the best in the country. However, the agricultural level is large but not strong, and it has not formed a new agricultural model that is intensive and efficient. It can only rely on the weather for its income. Agricultural output fluctuates greatly. The province has also proposed to promote large-scale agricultural machinery concentrated farming, but it has encountered a new problem. This farming method will make the already rich rural labor more prosperous. How to deal with the extra idle rural laborers is a headache, right?"

"As for industry, although there are some large-scale industrial projects in the province, they have never been able to form distinctive flagship products. The phenomenon of industrial dispersion, division and intricacy has existed for a long time. Due to regional relations, the scale of overseas imports and exports is very restricted. The province's private economy and tertiary industry are also far behind the coast, and they lack strong financial capital support on the coast. They are unable to do many things, right?"

"The most headache may be the problem of dealing with the surplus labor force in the province. As the largest province in the country, it is not enough to solve food and clothing. Farming with large agricultural machinery is not enough to require so many people. What should I do if the young and middle-aged laborers are idle? Organizing them to work in other places is a way. Now many migrant workers in many coastal areas are people from Central Plains, but leaving their hometowns is not a long-term solution. Moreover, in recent years, large state-owned enterprises in the city have been reorganized and there are many laid-off workers. At that time, the two will add up and the province will have a lot of pressure to solve employment, right?"

Yang Xing asked three questions in a row, and everyone nodded slightly. These major problems were linked together and almost a dead end, but according to Yang Xing's meaning, could he have a solution? "In fact, why don't you consider the problem differently and regard the huge human burden as a rare human resource? Then our Central Plains is the largest resource province in the country!" As soon as he finished speaking, Kan Dongtian's eyes lit up, which seemed to be what he had heard when he discussed Jiudu's future planning with Yang Xing.

"My company's significant achievements in manufacturing in recent years are honestly attributed to domestic workers with strict organization and low cost. I know that many experts and scholars in China have clamored that our international division of labor status is very low. After decades of reform, we are still at the lowest end of the international manufacturing industry. Incoming material processing and other primary product manufacturing stages, the so-called "production of 800 million shirts can only be replaced with an airplane," and they have called for the unreasonable international division of labor status we are in." Speaking of this, a vice president of the City University showed an embarrassing expression on his face, because he was one of the experts who had the highest voices for such opinions.

"But comrades, the future is bright, but the road ahead is tortuous. I also want to build a ** society overnight, but it won't work. Even our respected former chief said that we are still in the primary stage of socialism and it takes a long time to catch up with the production level of developed Western countries. In today's international environment, our biggest comparative advantage is the low labor cost." Although Yang Xing misinterpreted the leader's quotation, no one cared about the scene, because what Yang Xing said was a cruel reality, and everyone present was not clear about it.

"Since we have this advantage, why not take advantage of this advantage? It must be said that our Chinese workers are the best in the world. My current business is spread all over the world, and my subordinate manufacturing companies have also visited neighboring Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh and other countries. If we only compare the labor costs, they are even lower than us, but if we compare the proficiency of workers, organizational obedience and supporting infrastructure construction of factories, the gap between them and us is still very big. The laid-off workers in the province only need a certain amount of vocational training and can be re-employed immediately. As long as the necessary skill training work is kept up, it is a continuous labor force. The manufacturing level of Chinese workers is definitely the best in the world. The key is how we can give full play to their advantages." Yang Xing concluded.
