Chapter 837 Pull 1 Group, Beat 1 Group
Fortunately, Fan Heng just asked casually. He didn't mean to go into details, but at this moment Hu Kezhi received a call and ran outside to listen, which diverted the topic.
Fan Wubing did not answer the question, but sat aside and watched with cold eyes. Sure enough, he found that Pang Mingyu's expression was extremely unnatural, and he clearly looked a little guilty. Several officials in the province were also silent. Obviously I have some scruples and don't want to mention this matter.
So Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng, "When I come to Lingxi Province this time, I really want to visit various places. Regarding the heavy industry in Lingxi Province, our Fan Investment Group is more interested in it." big."
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Guan Luping and others were obviously very excited. They all looked at Fan Heng, hoping to get support from their elders, but Fan Heng smiled and said, "We, father and son, are in charge of our own affairs. If you find it interesting, just talk to them, it’s irrelevant.”
After Guan Luping and others heard Fan Heng's statement, they understood that Fan Wubing was interested in supporting the economy of Lingxi Province by following him this time. The name of Fan's Investment Group had already spread to Lingxi Province. Which leader would not know about Fan Heng’s story? This is inseparable from the strong support of his son Fan Wubing.
If Fan Wubing really intends to support Lingxi Province, I believe it will not only be of great benefit to the economic development of Lingxi Province, but also be very helpful to the official fortunes of people like himself. After all, the way for officials to rise now is to start from To a large extent, it is considered with reference to GDP. As long as the economic development is good, everything else can be discussed.
Seeing that Fan Wubing mentioned the industry in Lingxi Province, Guan Luping, as the governor, still wanted to introduce it.
After liberation, in order to change the unbalanced industrial layout, the country adopted a regional economic policy of balanced industrial development, and the focus of industrial investment was tilted towards the six inner regions. Since a country's industrial construction cannot be separated from the development of resources, and Lingxi Province has rich reserves of various resources and a relatively complete range of varieties, the planned exploitation and utilization of these resources has become a favorable factor for the development of Lingxi Province's heavy industry. The country also implemented an industrialization strategy that prioritized the development of heavy industry, so Lingxi Province formed a heavy industry system focusing on raw materials, energy and heavy processing industries during this period.
Natural resources are the basis for the formation and development of the layout of productive forces and the heavy industrialization structure of Lingxi Province. Before liberation, the social economy of Lingxi Province was very backward. Resource-based industries, characterized by the development and utilization of agricultural natural resources and coal and other mineral resources, occupied an extremely important position. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially during the first five-year plan of the country, a considerable number of the 24 key construction projects carried out in Lingxi Province were resource development projects, including coal mining, non-ferrous metal smelting, chemical industry, etc. In particular, the later "third-line construction" strengthened the defense industry. Promoted the development of heavy industry in Lingxi Province.
Lingxi Province's coal, oil, non-ferrous metals and other mineral resources have had a decisive influence on the formation of the heavy industry industrial structure.
As the country's economic development increases the demand for resources, the exploration of mineral resources has been intensified. At present, Lingxi Province has proven reserves of oil, natural gas, and coal that are extremely rich. However, due to some historical reasons, the development efforts are far from enough. As a result, the economic development of Lingxi Province still lags far behind other provinces.
Another is that for a long time, the main problem of Lingxi Province’s industrial structure has been that heavy industry is too heavy and light industry is too light. This is also caused by Lingxi Province’s rich mineral resources and strong structural foundation for heavy industry.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the heavy industrialization structure of Lingxi Province was under the planned economy, by imitating national and regional economic models, skipping some intermediate stages of division of labor, and leaping into modern industrialization. Under extremely unfavorable conditions, a group of industrial enterprises with a high level of specialization were established in multiple industrial sectors, skipping the gradual evolution process of social professional division of labor and industrial organizational structure experiments, and advanced in a very short period of time. and achieved heavy industrialization.
The fatal flaw of this kind of imitation is that it can only imitate but not innovate. In other words, Lingxi Province lacks a group of industrial enterprises with a high level of specialization based on the actual economic development of the region, as well as different organizational experiments conducted by different organizations based on its own economic characteristics. therefore. It is difficult to create an industrialization model that suits provincial conditions. Without fundamental reforms, the heavy industrialization structure of Lingxi Province and the reform of state-owned enterprises can only be an empty slogan.
"Problems existing in the industrial structure, lagging institutional reforms, and insufficient investment in technological innovation have made the structural contradictions of Lingxi Industry very prominent. The cost of adjusting the industrial structure of the province has increased, and the adjustment work is facing new challenges. Lingxi Industry The basic idea of structural adjustment is to seize the historical opportunity of the Western Open and my country's accession to the West based on the problems existing in the industrial structure and the trend of domestic and foreign economic development, with the goal of enhancing industrial competitiveness, with emancipating the mind as the guide, and accelerating the With the theme of development, it is guided by domestic and foreign markets, with enterprises as the main body, with the reform of state-owned industrial enterprises and vigorous development of the non-state-owned economy as the center, insisting on conceptual innovation, technological innovation, management innovation and system innovation, breaking the boundaries of departments, industries and regions. "Eliminate the estrangement and establish a unified cooperation body." Guan Luping spoke eloquently about his province's policies to Fan Heng, Fan Wubing and others.
Fan Wubing laughed when he heard this and said to Guan Luping, "Uncle Guan, stop it now. It is the most appropriate thing to give a report at the meeting. However, my nephew, I am here this time with real money." Come on, if Lingxi Province has the ability to attract my investment, 18 billion of funds can be settled. So, do you think it is more realistic to say, for example, is there any development? Do big potential projects require investment?”
Guan Luping didn't feel dissatisfied after hearing Fan Wubing's words, but he felt a little disappointed when he heard him talk about an investment of 18 billion. "There are quite a lot of projects, but the RMB 18 billion seems to be a bit too much. What we in Lingxi Province are planning to undertake are big projects. The RMB 18 billion will only focus on supporting three liang at most. company.”
The chief of staff sitting next to him laughed and said to Guan Luping, "Lao Guan, you don't understand the situation a bit. When Mr. Fan invests, he usually talks in US dollars."
"Ah?! Eighteen billion US dollars! Oh, that's almost enough!" After hearing this, Guan Luping was stunned for a moment, and then said overjoyed.
In recent years, the heavy chemical industry has continued to rapidly boost the output value and benefits of Lingxi Province's industrial economy, and more and more people are encouraged by this. However, at the same time, the serious imbalance in the structure of light and heavy industries in Lingxi Province has had a negative impact on the urban and rural areas of Lingxi Province. A series of issues brought about by , regional and socio-economic exhibitions have gradually become the focus of people's attention and discussion: Will the heavy and chemical industry exhibitions leave any sequelae?
Lingxi Province's coal mining and processing industry, oil and natural gas mining industry, petroleum processing industry, coking industry and other heavy chemical industries as well as equipment manufacturing industry account for a large proportion of the province's industrial structure. It is also the current industrial structure of Lingxi Province. The main driving force for economic leap-forward development.
Industry experts believe that based on historical development patterns, in the process of industrialization, the industrial structure of a region must go through several stages: a stage dominated by the light textile industry; a stage centered on basic industries such as raw materials, fuel and power. The chemical industry stage; the stage dominated by low-level processing and assembly heavy chemical industry; the stage dominated by high-level processing and assembly industry. An exhibition of the industrial structure of a region. It usually develops from the primary stage to the advanced stage.
However, the current industrial structure of Lingxi Province has problems with the development of the heavy chemical industry. Although the forward development of the heavy and chemical industry will significantly improve economic growth, it will also bring about sequelae, namely problems such as uneven urban-rural, regional, and socio-economic development. Although the issue of the proportion of light and heavy industry is an internal structural issue within industry, the consequences are extensive and profound, and it has an important impact in particular on promoting the solution to the urban-rural dual structure problem.
Although the forward development of the heavy and chemical industry has supported the rapid growth of the province's GDP, the imbalance of the proportion of light and heavy in the industrial structure has hindered the transfer of labor to the secondary industry. The proportion of labor employed in the secondary industry in the province's employment is far lower. than the national average.
Light industry is a labor-intensive industry, while heavy chemical industry is a capital and technology-intensive industry. The small scale of light industry in Lingxi Province that can absorb a large number of labor employment naturally hinders the transition of labor from the primary industry to the secondary industry. This in turn has led to the widening income gap between urban and rural residents.
The widening income gap between urban and rural residents has hindered the accumulation of agricultural capital, hindered the process of agricultural industrialization, further widened the gap between urban and rural development, led to a small number of employees in the secondary industry, and its contribution rate to the income of urban and rural residents is relatively low, directly affecting This has led to the growth and upgrading of the consumption demand of urban and rural residents in the tertiary industry. This is also one of the main reasons why the GDP of the tertiary industry in Lingxi Province has declined instead of rising in the total GDP of the province in recent years.
Some other important categories of light industry in the province, such as the textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc., have developed relatively slowly. It now appears that there are still many difficulties to overcome if Lingxi Light Industry is to truly embark on a healthy development track.
After Fan Wubing carefully listened to Guan Luping's introduction on the current economic situation of Lingxi Province, he made a relatively clear analysis and pointed out some of the current shortcomings of Lingxi Province one by one, which made the leaders of Lingxi Province present. It was an eye-opener. I didn't expect that Fan Wubing could see the problem so thoroughly with a simple analysis. He is truly an economic genius.
Several ministerial leaders who came with Fan Heng were also very moved and envied Fan Heng for having such a good son.
"Then what Mr. Fan means is to change the current imbalance between light and heavy industries?" Guan Luping asked Yu Fan Wubing with great concern.
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. We don't necessarily have to balance him. Expanding production capacity is also a natural way. In fact, the equipment manufacturing industry has always been a key pillar industry in Lingxi Province and has always been responsible for the stable and healthy development of the industry. It plays an important role in the upstream and downstream industries, especially in the central region of Lingxi. After a long period of development, it has successively formed the transportation equipment manufacturing industry, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, and general equipment manufacturing industry. and special equipment manufacturing industry as the main body. Large enterprises such as Lingxi Aircraft Manufacturing Factory have always been key enterprises in the province. Power transmission and distribution and control equipment, aircraft, industrial automation instruments, electrical instruments, oil exploration instruments and coal Exploration instruments and other products are in a dominant position across the country. This advantage must be maintained. At the same time, the medical and health and textile industries can be strongly supported to solve employment problems and people's livelihood problems in a two-pronged approach. Improve the economy of Lingxi Province.”
"So, does Mr. Fan have any specific thoughts?" Guan Luping's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he ignored Fan Heng and hurriedly asked Fan Wubing.
"Haha, I think the medical and health and textile industries can definitely vigorously expand the investment of non-public enterprises, which can easily achieve miraculous results. As for the manufacturing industry, we can also absorb some external capital on the premise of ensuring state-owned control. "We should effectively use these funds for development, especially to engage in more technological innovations and independent intellectual property rights innovations, so as to obtain economic benefits through the development of high-tech technologies." Fan Wubing pointed out without hesitation what Lingxi Province currently lacks. Several conditions, "In short, we need to vigorously introduce useful talents. We can also vigorously support local counterpart universities to apply what we have learned and cultivate more technical talents that we can use." Fan Wubing said very replied easily.
"In which direction does Mr. Fan plan to invest the money?" Guan Luping asked again.
"Well, you should first submit a feasibility report, and then I can select some projects to do, right? It's a bit too early to talk about this now." Fan Wubing replied with a smile.
After a while, everyone left first, and only Fan Heng and Fan Wubing, father and son, were left in the room.
Fan Heng asked, "Are you really planning to invest 18 billion US dollars here?"
Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "On the one hand, it is indeed possible to invest here, and on the other hand, it is to cooperate with your work. Since we have to deal with important cadres in Lingxi Province, we must ensure that there will be no backlash. I will sell it now." With such a big bait, I believe that the majority of people are willing to cooperate. Even if you attack a group of terrorist elements, it will not cause too much backlash, because we have captured the majority. ah!"
After listening to this, Fan Heng thought deeply for a while, and then he greatly appreciated Fan Wubing's methods. As expected, for officials, there are not many people who can refuse the influence of GDP. Fan Wubing has drawn a big pie for them. , but it is enough for the big guys in the province to add a few more impressive political achievements. This temptation is indeed big enough.
Pulling a group and beating a group is the most correct strategy. If everyone is offended, the work will be impossible.
