Chapter 419
Gradually forward
Two days later, Shancheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shan Shiqi, Mayor Wang Xiaomin, Baocheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cao Yongguo, and Deputy Mayor Qiu Xufeng came to Yan City to attend the first meeting between the leading group and the pilot city.
In theory, a notice was issued in the name of the leading group, and all the two cities could send deputy positions to participate, and there was no need for the top leaders of the party and government to come in person. However, out of the importance of the leading group, several people wanted to sit with Xia Xiang again and discuss, so they were all dispatched.
Song Chaodu came forward to meet Shan Shiqi, Wang Xiaomin, Cao Yongguo, and Qiu Xufeng cordially. After learning that the two cities had begun to prepare for industrial structure adjustment, Song Chaodu was very happy and encouraged him to say goodbye and leave first.
An Yixing, Xia Xiang, Peng Mengfan stayed to accompany him, and had a heated discussion on the restructuring of key enterprises in Dancheng and Baoshi.
Xia Xiang discovered that Peng Mengfan was indeed rich in theoretical knowledge, but his understanding of the two cities was obviously still entirely on writing. However, his words and words were also incisive, not entirely paper talk.
After Peng Mengfan finished speaking, Xia Xiang said kindly: "Director Peng has outstanding theoretical knowledge and has unique views on the industrial structure adjustment of the two cities. I suggest that Director Peng can go to the two cities and take a look, and you should have greater gains."
Peng Mengfan's face changed and he said unhappily: "Director Xia means that I'm talking about it on paper? To be honest, my theoretical knowledge really comes from books, but they are all selected from the summary materials of the two cities over the years. Is there any difference between it and walking on the spot?"
Of course, there is a big difference between summarizing materials and what you see with your own eyes. After all, as long as it is a material, it includes fake ingredients.
Cao Yongguo also saw that Peng Mengfan was not very convinced by Xia Xiang, so he and Shan Shiqi looked at each other and smiled.
Shan Shiqi said, "Director Peng, on behalf of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I invite you to visit Shancheng. How about it?"
Peng Mengfan didn't dare to take shelves to the Secretary of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee, so he said, "Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. However, the leadership group is busy now and can't take it off at once. When time allows, I will definitely go to Shancheng with my own eyes and take a look."
After the episode, An Yixing and Peng Mengfan did not attend during lunch, and only Xia Xiang accompanied the four of them to have a meal.
Shan Shiqi and Wang Xiaomin have consulted with the main person in charge of Shangang on Tonghai Railway. After reaching an agreement, they took this opportunity to submit an application to the provincial government in the name of Shancheng Government. Shan Shiqi said: "Borrowing the east wind of the pilot city to propose Tonghai Railway, the provincial party committee and government will definitely pay different attention. If the provincial government seeks the opinions of the leading group, Xiaoxia, when it is time to say a few good words, you have to say a few good words for Shancheng."
Xia Xiang agreed: "The leading group serves Dancheng and Baocheng. If there are any benefits, I will definitely fight for the province. I not only want to speak well for you, but also find investments for your cultural tourism."
"Really?" Wang Xiaomin looked surprised. Although the Tonghai Railway has huge investment and amazing scale, it is only a few dozen kilometers long in the single-city industry. It is a bit of a thunder and a small raindrop in the early stage. Of course, after completion, the single-city city will become the biggest beneficiary. However, in the next two or three years, there will be no signs that can drive the single-city economy. Tonghai Railway will play its due role, and it will take at least four or five years to say.
However, the pilot reform requires achievements within two or three years, and the far water of the railway in the sea cannot quench the nearest thirst. Although other projects in Shancheng are being submitted and reviewed in full swing, and many projects are also very good, Wang Xiaomin is most interested in cultural tourism in idiom stories. He feels that this move can not only be used to promote the name of the ancient capital of Shancheng, but also produce good social impacts. It can be said that it is a harvest of social and economic benefits.
However, he contacted several investors in a single city, all of whom were not interested in investing in the construction of the ruins of the Zhao Palace and developing tourism projects with idiom stories, and they all believed that the prospects were not great. Wang Xiaomin did not force it. Investors each had their own vision and could not persuade them to invest. Only projects they were interested in could cooperate.
Xia Xiang was responsible for the idea, and he was embarrassed to ask Xia Xiang to help him invest. After all, Xia Xiang didn't work for the single city government. Unexpectedly, when he sat together today, Xia Xiang's first sentence was to find an investment, so why didn't he be ecstatic?
"Of course it's true. I dare not tell lies in front of all the leaders." Xia Xiang is not as high as a person, so it's normal to call her leader. "She used to be in the cosmetics business, but now she wants to change careers and do cultural careers, so she has a crush on idiom story tourism projects. When Mayor Wang has time, he can ask her to meet with her and discuss it in detail."
"Look... what's going on in the afternoon? Or have dinner together in the evening." Wang Xiaomin was a little anxious. After finally someone invested, the faster the better. "There is Xiaoxia, you will definitely accompany you at that time."
Wang Xiaomin was slightly excited. He stood up and held Xia Xiang's hand with both hands: "On behalf of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to thank you for your sincere gratitude to you in my personal name."
Wang Xiaomin's words came from the heart. Xia Xiang helped Shancheng wholeheartedly. Even if he was contributing to his hometown, as mayor, he should have something to express himself as the mayor. Moreover, Xia Xiang's help to Shancheng was indeed beyond his imagination.
Qiu Xufeng expressed his dissatisfaction: "Xia Xiang, I think you are too generous to one and the other. Dancheng is your hometown, but Baocheng is also your father in charge. From beginning to end, you have not made any suggestions for the industrial structure adjustment of Baocheng. Secretary Cao loves you, and I am embarrassed to say that I am your big brother, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't say you..."
Xia Xiang laughed: "Okay, I accept your criticism. I have already understood some adjustments to Baoshi City. I have never found a suitable opportunity, right? I will not meet with Mayor Wang tonight. I will invite you to your house with my dad and then talk about Baoshi City issues together."
He turned around and said to Wang Xiaomin: "Investors are easy to deal with. I have explained the specific situation to her. You only need to set a time and place tonight, and I can just call her to come over."
Wang Xiaomin didn't force himself: "Okay, that's it."
Halfway through the meal, Chen Feng and Hu Zeng and Zhou Lianjue visited. Chen Feng and Cao Yongguo are old acquaintances and have a good relationship with Wang Xiaomin, so naturally they couldn't have a chat. Hu Zengzhou and Shan Shiqi were not familiar with him, but they were also old acquaintances with Wang Xiaomin. Everyone met very happily and was very lively.
Qiu Xufeng sighed slightly. Now he has experienced the benefits of integrating into the Xia Xiang circle. No matter how powerful his family in the capital is and how strong his backer is, if he doesn't know how to do things, he will not be able to get along with his peers in the local area, and the people's hearts will be far away. Once the people's hearts are far away, there will be no feeling of working together when doing things.
Xia Xiang is indeed friendly and convincing. It is also a kind of personal charm to make people who are close to him trust him.
The meeting continued in the afternoon. Qian Jinsong and Gao Jinzhou attended the meeting and put forward their own opinions on the adjustment of the industrial structure. Gao Jinzhou actually wanted to take this opportunity to enter the leadership group at the beginning, but unfortunately his position was not high or low, and it was not suitable to be the team leader. As the deputy team leader, it was a bit inconsistent with his identity, so it was better to be turned away in embarrassment. Gao Jinzhou also told Xia Xiang privately that he missed an opportunity without entering the leadership group.
Before getting off work, Xia Xiang called Cao Shune and asked her to prepare more meals because Cao Yongguo and Qiu Xufeng were going home for dinner together. Cao Shune was very happy and got off work in advance to prepare.
Originally, Xia Xiang always suggested that she hire a nanny, even if she was a part-time worker. The little girl disagreed and insisted on cooking for him on her own every day, saying that if she wanted to keep a man's heart, she would first keep a man's stomach.
She wanted to make a good meal herself to keep Xia Xiang's stomach, rather than using the help of a nanny.
When Xia Xiang and Cao Yongguo and Qiu Xufeng returned home together, the little girl had already prepared a table of food and waited for the three of them to come back. Xia Xiang saw her cute appearance wearing an apron and a hat. The most ridiculous thing is that there was a cartoon bear on the apron, which made people feel both cute and warm. She went up to hug her, regardless of the presence of someone, and said proudly: "My wife can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, she is very capable, I am proud, I have it."
The little girl suddenly turned red and she pushed Xia away with a spatula in her hand, thinking: "If you have an outsider, please pay attention to your image."
Cao Yongguo pretended not to see it, turned around and entered the study. Qiu Xufeng smiled: "My brother and sister, I know Xia Xiang was deliberately angering me and showing me that he has a good wife who is beautiful, capable, obedient and well-behaved. What he meant is that my wife is not as good as his wife, isn't Xiao Xia?"
"You said it yourself, I didn't think so." Xia Xiang certainly refused to admit it.
"Duoduo can go to the hall, but can't get in the kitchen. She has been spoiled since she was a child and can't even put noodles. But one thing is, she is also very well-behaved and obedient, no worse than yours."
"Mayor Qiu, please sit down. Xia Xiang is sometimes not in a good position. You criticize him more." The little girl said, glaring at Xia Xiang quietly, and then said, "Why don't you please greet the guests and sit down. Look, you are not polite, and you won't serve tea and water when the guests come."
With a smile on his face, Qiu Xufeng felt that his relationship with Xia Xiang's family had further improved.
The family sat down to have a meal. Qiu Xufeng tasted the dishes made by Cao Shuyan and praised them: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I always eat in a restaurant outside. The more I eat, the more I taste, the more I feel that nothing is delicious. Home-cooked dishes are the best, light and delicious, and nourishing. Xiaoxia, you are so happy..."
Cao Yongguo smiled and said, "The special craftsmanship was learned from her mother. When Xufeng didn't want to eat outside, he said, "He went home with me to eat."
"That's good." Qiu Xufeng smiled happily, "I'll really benefit from it at that time. Secretary Cao, don't bother me."
"You can just bring a few bottles of good wine you have collected at home, and it will definitely be popular with my dad. But if you want to be popular with my mom, you have to bring more fruits. She loves fruits, especially apples." Xia wanted to teach Qiu Xufeng the way to please.
Qiu Xufeng said: "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about. There's no shortage of wine and cigarettes at home. When I go back, I'll bring more Secretary Cao, asking for Jiannanchun, Wuliangye or Moutai?"
After dinner, Cao Shuyan packed the secrets of the bowl, and Xia Xiang and Qiu Xufeng accompanied Cao Yongguo to the study and talked.
Cao Yongguo just sat down to taste tea without saying anything, but Qiu Xufeng had something to say: "Xiaoxia, although Baoshi is also an ancient city, it is far less famous than single city, and has no glorious history. It is definitely not good to play cultural cards. Baoshi has an automobile factory, a film factory, and a very famous pickle factory. There is no other industries worth mentioning. How do you start with a few large enterprises first?"
Qiu Xufeng's vision is indeed much higher. I guess he has really put in his heart since he dominated the industrial structure adjustment of Baoshi City and has put in a lot of effort. Xia Xiang will not answer Qiu Xufeng's question first, and ask Cao Yongguo first: "Dad, what do you think about this?"
"Xufeng and I discussed that Wanli Automobile Factory is an independent brand and may create the first nationally renowned brand in Baoshi. It must be strictly protected and no major changes should be carried out as much as possible. Dafu Film is a national key enterprise and it is difficult to make industrial adjustments. As for Maosheng pickles, although its reputation is not smaller than that of Liubiju in Beijing, its production and sales volume is much smaller, less than one-third of Liubiju. Moreover, the output value is only more than 10 million yuan per year, which is not considered a large enterprise." Although Cao Yongguo also supported the adjustment of the industrial structure and believed that the prospects were broad, he found that there were many difficulties when he really implemented it. If he wanted to reorganize a large enterprise, he was worried that he would backfire and could not explain it if he failed. Small enterprises did not have the value of adjustment. For example, no matter how an enterprise with an annual output value of only one million, it would not be possible to become a large enterprise with tens of millions in just two or three years.
Everything must comply with the laws of economic development.
Xia Xiang also knew that in comparison, Cao Yongguo's thinking tended to be more conservative, but his stability was also a guarantee of success. Qiu Xufeng was young after all, so he looked at the problem a little simpler.
In fact, Xia Xiang had already thought of a solution for Baoshi and had not raised it, which was also an inappropriate opportunity. Now that the time is ripe, he smiled calmly and said, "If Maosheng pickles are renovated successfully, the output value of Maosheng pickles will reach more than 30 million in two or three years. The key is to have a packaging awareness. It cannot be sold in a scattered manner only in the jar, but should be packaged in vacuum, bagged, or even packaged into exquisite gift boxes, focusing on part of the high-end market. Now is the golden period of supermarket development. As a terminal market that directly faces customers, supermarkets have become increasingly effective. It can even be said that if they can occupy major supermarkets in the province, sales can be increased by at least three times!"
Maosheng pickles are a real time-honored Chinese brand, with a history of more than 300 years. According to historical records, in the 29th year of the Guangxu period, Empress Dowager Cixi went to Baoshi. After tasting Maosheng pickles, she repeatedly claimed that they were good and named "Taiping Vegetable". Since then, Maosheng pickles have been worth a hundred times more. To date, Maosheng pickles have become a famous brand in Baoshi, but they are still produced in workshops and retain the ancient traditional characteristics. It is a good thing to have characteristics, but they are not suitable for the development of the times. The pickles in the jar look good, but are not conducive to transportation and sales, which has always restricted the further development of Maosheng pickles.
Cao Yongguo and Qiu Xufeng looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. Whether Xia Xiang's proposal was feasible, but his deep understanding of Maosheng pickled vegetables was beyond the expectations of the two.
Subsequently, Xia Xiang expressed his views on the structural adjustments of Wanli Automobile and Dafu Film.
Wanli Auto now mainly produces pickup trucks and SUVs, and its output value is also the best in domestic independent brands. However, Wanli Auto has not yet realized the huge market of cuv (urban utility vehicles). Although Wanli Auto also launched cuvs in later generations, it has lagged behind other manufacturers. As a latecomer in the market, its brand appeal is not strong, and it can only win by low prices. After a painful lesson, it slowly occupied the market.
Being ahead is a huge business opportunity.
Xia Xiang put forward the idea of changing the focus of Wanli Automobile to CuV.
Xia Xiang was even more moved by Dafu Film. After arduous negotiations, Dafu Film was successful in a joint venture with Kodak in the United States. In order to preserve its own brand, it firmly grasped its controlling stake. Although it protected the national brand for China in the tide of joint ventures, the film factory quickly declined with the rise of digital cameras.
Don’t underestimate a small color film. There are few countries in the world that can produce it! A South Asian country that claims to surpass China is a military force. Not to mention the production of military color photosensitive materials, even bullets need to be imported. This shows that a country’s comprehensive strength is still reflected in the high-precision manufacturing industry.
Xia Xiang has no impression of what path Dafu film has taken in later generations, because since the rise of digital cameras, film has almost disappeared in the market. Unless industrial photosensitive materials are used, film produced by film factories is probably rarely purchased by ordinary people except photographers, and later even films were filmed with digital.
Xia Xiang checked a lot of information. After research, he found that the existing technology of the film factory is similar to the LCD technology of future display screens. The strong rise of the LCD LCD screen completely drove the ordinary CRT display screen out of the historical stage in just two or three years.
Although the CRT display manufacturer is unwilling to fail, when the LCD LCD screens rose, a large number of articles were published by Gunners, listing the advantages of CRT, such as large viewing angles, no deterioration points, high color reduction, uniform color, adjustable multi-resolution mode, extremely short response time, etc., and the price is much cheaper than the LCD display. However, the advancement and development of technology are irresistible. The advantages of LCD low radiation and low power consumption are very popular. Moreover, with the decrease in production costs and the price drops, there is no suspense in the overall defeat of CRT.
