Spring Breeze 1991

The Spring Festival of 1995 came as promised, and the Yao family organized a banquet again, this time on a larger scale than any previous one.

In Yao Zhenhua's view, how much money a son earns and how big a boss he is is not the most glorious thing. The son becomes a state cadre, that is the real glory.

When worshiping the ancestors in the morning, Yao Zhenhua knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors and talked for more than half an hour. Zhang Guifen even talked about Yao Yuan's childhood from Yao Yuan's childhood to the present, which made Yao Yuan who accompanied the ancestor worship very helpless.But seeing the proud smiles on his parents' faces, he was glad that he had made the right choice.

Isn't it just to let parents have a completely different happy life?

All relatives and friends came, from parents' side, Yao Yuan's side, old sister's side, and Mr. Yao's local comrades-in-arms, the cadres he had led before, and finally, Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng came on behalf of the municipal party committee and the municipal government Now, the county and town leaders naturally also came.

A grand banquet for hundreds of people.

If this is 20 years later, the organization will investigate Yao Yuan's financial problems.

After a lively morning, Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng, who stayed until the end, naturally wanted to find a chance to chat with Yao Yuan alone.There is no doubt that Yao Yuan is the pinnacle of economic development in the Nangang area.

In the tea room on the third floor of Yao’s house, Zhou Liang said with emotion, “Mr. Yao, the city’s GDP increased by 18% last year, which is a miracle in the history of regional economic development in our country. No. 2 is Shenzhen, with only 12%. It's all due to you."

Yao Yuan shook his head and waved his hands, "Don't say that, this is the result of the joint efforts of the people of the city."

Yang Sheng said, "What Mayor Zhou said is not an exaggeration. Such a large growth rate is mostly contributed by enterprises of the Chunfeng Group. The three major bases on the East Coast Industrial Island, the Baojun Automobile Production Base, and the three major industries in Xiangang Lingang After the key projects are put into operation, it will not be a big problem for our economic volume to surpass the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and return to the second place in the province."

It's very exciting.

The Shenzhen market is the benchmark. A small change in one day and a big change in three days are all about the Shenzhen market.The economy of Nangang area was the second largest in the province for a long time, but it was gradually overtaken by the Pearl River Delta area after the opening.

However, it is very difficult to surpass the Shenzhen market.

Yao Yuan remembers that by 2020, the GDP of Nangang area will be less than 4000 billion, while the Shenzhen market has exceeded 30000 trillion, more than seven times that of Nangang area.

On the contrary, in the 90s, the gdp gap between the two places was not too big. Nangang area, as an old economic city, has its own strength.

Yao Yuan said matter-of-factly, "You two leaders, you should know that this growth rate is not good, because the main investment of our company was completed last year, and the economic volume of Nangang area itself is not large, so last year's gdp The phenomenon of explosive growth rate.”

"Yes, we have considered it." Zhou Liang was also very calm.

Only input without output, it is all false.

He is about to become a colleague soon. Although he is not from the same region, Yao Yuan will not hide some things. He used to be an entrepreneur, and some things are hard for him to say, but now he can say them.

Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "It is inevitable that a large enterprise can drive the economic growth of a region, but if a region is driven solely by a large enterprise, the industrial structure will be unhealthy. How to build an industrial chain around a large enterprise is very important. .”

Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng sat up straight subconsciously, what Yao Yuan wanted to say was dry stuff.

Yao Yuan said, "For example, Xiangfang Machinery involves the whole field of machinery manufacturing, ranging from large ships to motorcycles, from port machinery to screwdrivers. It can be said that it is a trust-type machinery group. Then, only one direction Lingang Industrial Park can Can you fully exert the influence of this company?"

He paused, "I don't think it's enough. Is it possible to expand upstream and downstream? In this region, an industrial chain covering the upper, middle and lower reaches will be formed. In this way, it will be possible to bring ten or even hundreds of enterprises together. It works."

"There is also the problem of relocation of laid-off workers. To put it bluntly, it is the problem of employment rate. Due to various reasons, state-owned enterprises have closed down, pushing a large number of workers to the society, and the society's acceptance capacity is limited. The front. Finding ways to increase employment is the fundamental means to solve the problem.”

"Mayor Zhou and Director Yang, the development zone proposed to introduce advanced production equipment and technology to upgrade production. I have reservations about this formulation."

Zhou Liang was surprised and puzzled, "Mr. Yao, you value technology, and you are still a talented student of Western Polytechnic University. The production technology of some state-owned factories is backward. The introduction of advanced production equipment and technology for upgrading can improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Improve product quality, which is a good thing."

Yang Sheng was also puzzled, because Yao Yuan is a well-known entrepreneur who values ​​technology, and his Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences is almost comparable to all research institutions in some European countries.

Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "There are two different things. The development of high-tech industries and the technological upgrading of labor-intensive enterprises are not in conflict, nor are they the same thing. It is still a matter of employment. Let's say that textile factories have imported Japanese equipment and technology, and more than 1000 Two-thirds of the staff will be eliminated, because the new equipment will not use so many people."

He spread his hands and said, "Then what should we do? Keep these people or push them to the society? If they stay, technological upgrading will be meaningless. Advanced production equipment will definitely reduce labor costs. This is beyond doubt. Society has increased employment pressure."

"Our advantage lies in the labor cost. We can use ten people to do the work that Westerners do alone, and the cost is lower. Wing On Group's main business is clothing, which has successfully entered the European market. The same product , we can achieve the price of cabbage, but Westerners cannot. The reason is very simple. We have the advantage of labor costs. This is the biggest advantage of our country at present, that is, the demographic dividend. If you want to compete with others for technical cost control, you will not be able to compete. Only by giving full play to the advantages of cheap labor.”

This point of view made Zhou Liang and Yang Sheng feel refreshed!

Yao Yuan said, "Of course, it doesn't mean that technology upgrades should not be done in order to keep jobs. It's still the same sentence. The two are not in conflict. It is entirely possible to upgrade slowly in a relatively moderate way. Considering the two factors comprehensively, but Product quality must be guaranteed. The textile factory’s approach is too radical, cutting off two-thirds of the workers, which is very detrimental to social stability.”

Zhou Liang paid attention to it, and he realized that this was a very urgent problem.Due to the continuous bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises and more and more laid-off workers, the gate of the county government in a county below is often blocked because of the placement of laid-off workers.

Zhou Liang has learned a lot about how difficult these tasks are.

Yao Yuan's point of view is actually a tactful reminder to him to view technology upgrades dialectically.Chunfeng companies will not have this problem, because the scale is large enough, and it is a big deal to open a few more production lines, which can be arranged by as many people as possible, and there is no need to worry about selling.

This is the self-adjustment ability that enterprises have developed to a certain extent.
