Compared with many cities in China, Yuzhou started its industry very early. From its opening as an industrial spark in 1891 to before the Anti-Japanese War, it had developed into an important industrial town in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, ranking first in the southwest and western regions.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Yuzhou was an industrial rear area, and a large number of factories moved westward to Yuzhou.

During the third-line construction period, Yuzhou was positioned as an industrial base, with a large number of factories and an industrial population of hundreds of thousands of people moved from the eastern region.

The industrial transformation that began after the reform was from military industry to civilian industry.

By the 1990s, Yuzhou was already quite strong in the automobile industry and steel industry.

At this time, industrial upgrading begins and we must take the high-end manufacturing route.

As an industrial city, Yuzhou can be said to have remained true to its original aspirations, and there has been no change to this day.

Although the proportion of industry in Yuzhou's GDP has declined in recent years, its scale has been continuously increasing.

Among Yuzhou’s GDP, the proportion of the financial and service industries is increasing rapidly.

Let’s not talk about the service industry. It belongs to the tertiary industry, and its development and growth are inevitable for social and economic development.

As for the financial industry in Yuzhou, the Southwest Stock Exchange is located in Yuzhou, so the financial industry in Yuzhou is definitely not bad.

In the past, there were many stock exchanges in the country, but now, there are only three left.

The Southwest Stock Exchange is quite different from the other two domestic exchanges. The other two exchanges have now adopted the T 1 trading model, but the Southwest Stock Exchange still uses the T 0 trading model.

The daily transaction volume of the Southwest Stock Exchange reaches 100 billion, and it is still increasing.

As for agriculture, Yuzhou's agriculture mainly relies on large-scale factory breeding. As for the planting industry, it has been in a state of maintenance over the years anyway.

There is even a certain degree of shrinkage.

Mainly in terms of planting area.

Yuzhou belongs to the edge of the basin, and part of the area is a plateau.

In terms of traditional agriculture, it is not considered developed.

In the past, in the era of small-scale peasant economy, there was enough to eat, but in the era of industrial urbanization, a large number of people were concentrated in cities.

Yuzhou relies on Shuchuan River to provide a large amount of grain and vegetables every year.

The breeding industry also consumes a lot of food, and Yuzhou imports a large amount of corn, soybeans, etc. from abroad.

As for shrimp meal for making feed, there is no need to worry about this. There are specialized offshore fishing boats operating at sea.

Just grind those worthless seafood into powder, then pack them into bags and ship them back.

There is a seafood processing production line on the ship.

Mota Agriculture has a huge breeding base in Yuzhou. Even so, the proportion of agriculture in Yuzhou's GDP is still declining year by year.

The primary industry is much worse than the secondary and tertiary industries in terms of creating GDP.

Wang Ju looked at Chen Huaiqing. In the 1980s, when Peiling was not included in Yuzhou, he worked in Peiling and already knew Chen Huaiqing's name.

At that time, Wang Ju was standing on the bank of the Yangtze River. Most of the cargo ships traveling on the river were related to Chen Huaiqing.

He still remembers that at the beginning, there were not many river boats.

But year by year, there are more and more river boats.

By the 1990s, the river boats on the Yangtze River began to become continuous.

Ore purchased from overseas is continuously transported to Yuzhou via the Yangtze River.

Yuzhou's steel production capacity continues to grow year by year. For example, the current annual steel output of the Yangtze River Steel Yuzhou Branch has exceeded 10 million tons.

In addition to the Yuzhou branch in China, Yangtze Iron and Steel also has Jiangcheng branch, Fanggang branch, Jiangnan branch and northern branch.

Yangtze Steel's current annual steel production capacity has reached 60 million tons, making it the number one steel company in China.

This is only the domestic production capacity of Yangtze Steel. In Southeast Asia, Yangtze Steel also has branch plants.

Although Southeast Asia has been hit hard by a wave of economic crises, it has recovered over the past few years and the economy has returned to an upward path.

In addition to Southeast Asia, in the Tiepak country, Yangtze Steel invested US$350 million to build a steel plant with an annual output of 1.28 million tons.

This steel plant is also the most advanced steel plant in Tieba Country. In addition to meeting the domestic needs of Tieba Country, the steel products it produces are also exported abroad.

In addition to ore ships, various grains purchased from overseas are also constantly transported to Yuzhou.

Mota Agriculture has established many large-scale breeding bases along the Yangtze River. In addition to raising pigs, it also raises cattle and chickens.

As the largest breeding enterprise in the country, Mota Agriculture consumes tens of millions of tons of feed every year.

All these feeds must be produced from grain.

The emergence of large-scale factory farming has gradually begun to withdraw traditional family farming from the market.

This is also quite normal.

After all, the cost of large-scale factory farming is actually lower than that of family farming.

After all, raising pigs is not that cost-effective.

If you go out to work, it is more cost-effective than raising two pigs at home.

Moreover, raising pigs is still risky. The pigs may get sick and lose all your money.

Breeding is also risky.

Don't just watch others make money. When they lose money, go back to before liberation.

"Someone suggested that the city convert the land formerly occupied by Yuzhou Special Steel into an industrial museum. Mr. Chen, what do you think of this suggestion?"

Since the late 1980s, Yuzhou has begun to re-plan the city and separate urban residential areas from industrial areas.

All newly built factories will be placed in dedicated industrial zones.

Industrial zones are also classified, including food industrial zones, machinery industrial zones, electronics industrial zones, chemical industrial zones, comprehensive industrial zones, etc.

All heavily polluting enterprises, such as steel plants, have been moved out of the main city.

The industrial zone needs convenient transportation, so it is basically not far from the Yangtze River. In addition, the industrial zone has also built roads that can handle heavy vehicles.

What was once a cement road is now paved with asphalt.

Compared with cement roads, asphalt roads are slightly smaller on top of flying dust.

Of course, in the steel factory area, everything is actually the same.

There is a lot of black flying dust on the road.

Although electric furnaces have begun to be used in steel, many blast furnaces still use coking coal to make steel.

Coal, ore, lime powder, slag, etc., the water trucks in the factory are running every day, but the roads are still dirty.

Unless, after a heavy rain, the road can be washed away immediately.

For example, at the Fangcheng Branch of Yangtze Iron and Steel, the cleanliness of the roads in the factory area is much higher than that of the Northern Branch.

The reason is very simple: Fangcheng Branch often experiences heavy rains, which washes the dust on the road into the ditches.

“Industrial Museum!”

The old factories of Yuzhou Iron and Steel and Yuzhou Special Steel began to completely stop production last year.

According to the plan, the factory will be demolished next, and the land will be used for real estate development.

The relocation of the two steel companies lasted more than ten years, but did not cause any major problems to the company's operations.

The main steel products of Yuzhou Iron and Steel are construction steel and automobile steel. As for shipbuilding steel, it is the main business of Jiangnan Branch.

The construction steel of Yuzhou Steel ensures the urban construction of Yuzhou. Over the past few years, Yuzhou has carried out large-scale urban construction. From roads, bridges to high-rise buildings, construction has never stopped.

The continuous expansion of cities is naturally related to the increase in population.

Generally speaking, there are relatively few empty cities where no one lives.

If no one buys it, what will developers do if they build so many houses?

In recent years, Yuzhou has been experiencing an influx of population, especially in the main urban area.

Chen Huaiqing: "Wang City, I definitely support the construction of an industrial museum. The buildings on the ground can be given to the museum, but the land must be replaced by the city."

There are really many museums in Yuzhou.

For example, Museum No. 33.

Museum No. 33 is a private museum with a large collection of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign works of art.

Museum No. 33 is also quite large and holds an auction every month, attracting buyers from all walks of life.

There are many rich people in Yuzhou, and they have made a lot of money in recent years.

Naturally, I am thinking about how to pass on the wealth.

As for art, its potential for appreciation is particularly high.

If you take it out after a few hundred years, it will definitely be priceless.

Few people will think about things hundreds of years from now, but passing it on to their children and grandchildren can be seen by most people.

The most important point is that artworks are not as conspicuous as yellow and white objects.
