Chapter 1038 Big Slogan
In primitive times, the battle between two tribes was over hunting grounds. After all, the number of prey in one place was limited.
Later, the two tribes fought over land where food could be grown.
Later, the battle between the two countries was to compete for each other's mineral resources and human resources.
The essence of war is the distribution of resources, in order to defeat the enemy and plunder the enemy's wealth to make one's own life better.
Now that Dahua has won another great victory, the next step is to digest the benefits brought by the war.
In other words, in the future, Dahua needs to pay more attention to economic development and people's livelihood development.
If we just keep winning battles but the living standards of the people are not improved, the people will not be happy either.
Spiritual satisfaction cannot be used as food, and material living conditions have not improved. If you rely solely on spiritual satisfaction, you will become Ah Q.
After Wu Changqing returned to Nanjing, he formulated a new round of development strategy.
In response to Wu Changqing's strategy, all walks of life also shouted their own slogans.
The transportation industry has called for every family in Dahua to have a bicycle, every urban family to have a car, and every big city to have railways within five years.
They have not yet proposed plans to develop airliners.
Although they are both airplanes, the technological content of large airplanes and small airplanes is quite different.
What's more, the safety of passenger aircraft used for civil aviation must be guaranteed, otherwise who would dare to fly on them?
Even though there are no plans for passenger aircraft yet, this slogan in the transportation industry is quite domineering.
Dahua’s current ruling population has exceeded 500 million, accounting for approximately 80% of the world’s total population.
Roughly calculating based on 10 people per household, this is also 50 million households, which means that 50 million bicycles are needed.
The current number of Dahua bicycles is just over two million, which is still 25 times less.
Among the population of 500 million, urban population accounts for almost 8%.
In other words, there are about four million urban households, and each household has one car, so four million vehicles are needed.
The current number of Dahua cars is less than 400,000. Moreover, there are a large number of transport trucks, and less than half are private cars.
This gap is still twenty times.
At first glance, the gap is quite large.
However, the transportation industry does not just shout randomly. They have obtained the data after special research and statistics.
According to their predictions, this goal can be achieved within five years.
The same reason is that the manufacturing cost is low.
A large amount of raw materials are shipped to Dahua at almost zero cost, and the cost of the entire vehicle is just various processing fees.
For large-scale production on an assembly line, on average, this processing fee is much cheaper than imagined.
Just like a screw, it seems to have a complicated structure, but its processing cost may not even be a centimeter.
The cost is low, and the selling price is naturally low.
If the price is low, more people can afford it, and the consumer market will be large.
The market is large, which drives factories to increase production.
This is a virtuous cycle, even a perfect cycle.
Of course, sooner or later, this cycle will go wrong, resulting in an economic crisis.
For example, the market is saturated, or costs are rising, or the purchasing power of ordinary people is increasing too slowly.
But at least Dahua is still far away from an economic crisis, and Wu Changqing is taking precautions, so there is no need to worry too much.
Will every urban household have a car within five years?
Many officials felt that this slogan was a bit exaggerated and was trying to please others.
But Wu Changqing felt that these officials needed to conduct research and internships.
Always staying in government buildings, some people no longer understand the development of the world and still understand the world based on their old worldview.
In Wu Changqing's view, the slogan of the transportation industry is not an exaggeration at all.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get on the right track, the speed of development can often be very amazing.
Just like in the original time and space, in 1900, the world's automobile production was less than 10,000 vehicles.
But twenty years later, the annual automobile production in the United States alone exceeded 300,000 vehicles.
The current development conditions of Dahua are much better than those of the United States in later generations. After all, the United States needs to import raw materials and compete with Europe for the market.
Dahua's products have no competitors, let alone high costs. They don't even need to pay tariffs when sold to Europe. They don't even have to worry too much about technological innovation. The government will always provide them with the latest technology.
Under such circumstances, even if automobile production increased more than ten times within five years, it would actually be a bit of a failure in Wu Changqing's view.
After noticing that some officials in the DPRK and China had lost touch with practice and lacked a clear understanding of the world, Wu Changqing issued an order requiring those officials in office to conduct on-site inspections and surveys several times a year to understand the actual situation.
Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Formulating policies cannot be based on imagination. The most important thing is to combine it with reality.
Otherwise, a good policy may start out as a bad policy in practice.
The slogan of one car per urban household was directly published in the Dahua Daily, and the people of Dahua immediately became excited.
That's a car, a symbol of status, a symbol of status
Symbol, a symbol of fashion and convenience.
Just imagine how wonderful it would be to take your family for an outing in the countryside in your car on your day off.
The dream of many young Chinese is to own a car of their own.
But in the past, for an ordinary family, cars were still out of reach.
But now, the Ministry of Transport has called for every family to be able to afford a car. Doesn't this mean that the price of cars should be reduced again and production should be increased.
This is undoubtedly great news for those who want a car.
It's a shame that Dahua doesn't have an electoral system now, otherwise the people of Dahua would be able to elect them as the new ruling cabinet based on this slogan of the Ministry of Transport.
Under normal circumstances, factory owners would definitely not be happy with both lowering prices and increasing production.
However, in Dahua, these capitalists have no choice but to cooperate with the government's plan.
Otherwise, if the official directly stops technical support, these capitalists will go bankrupt in minutes.
To put it bluntly, these capitalists were able to make a fortune not because of their ability, but because the government needed a group of factory owners and supported them.
The government can support others at any time, but they cannot do without the government's technical support.
This kind of relationship never existed in original history.
Dahua’s current political system and social structure are so unique.
