Chapter 937: Xiangjiang's Hidden Worries (First Update)

Xia Yu had taken this into account before and was mentally prepared for MacLehose to ask such questions.

Therefore, he said helplessly: "Mr. Governor, when I was planning for the establishment of the school before, I didn't think it through, and later I found that there was too much shortage of various talents in Xiangjiang, so I opened more majors and adjusted the number of students up. ”

MacLehose frowned slightly, but he couldn't blame it, after all, Xia Yu did this to benefit Xiangjiang, improve the educational environment and level of Xiangjiang, and fit his governing philosophy.

It is rare for Xia Yu to be so concerned about education, no matter how he is, he can't dampen Xia Yu's enthusiasm.

Since Xia Yu has already cut first and then played, then he can only pinch his nose and admit it, he has already decided to agree to Xia Yu's request.

It's just that in order to prevent Xia Yu from continuing to play like this, MacLehose feels that he still needs to take a little pinch and show his attitude, so as not to be confused by Xia Yu's sudden throw next time.

After this thought flashed through his mind, MacLehose frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Xia, can I know what are the new colleges and majors at Jiuding University?"

"Isn't it all on this?"

As he spoke, MacLehose flipped the document in his hand and wrote the situation of Jiuding University.

"Yes!"

Xia Yu said, poked his head out, found the second page of the university's information, pointed to that line and said: "School of Electronic Science and Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering, School of Biomedical Engineering, School of Vehicle Engineering, these four colleges and their subordinate majors are basically new. ”

MacLehose stared at these colleges and majors for a short time, his brows furrowed, but he was really puzzled.

He looked at Xia Yu and asked: "Mr. Xia, the School of Electronic Science and Engineering can be connected with Xiangjiang, and the majors of the School of Biomedical Engineering can also be in the market, but the School of Chemical Engineering and the School of Vehicle Engineering, after the students trained by these two colleges graduate, it is difficult to find a job in Xiangjiang, right?"

If you look at the School of Chemical Engineering, there are four majors, Normal Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Technology, and Applied Chemistry.

Except for the normal chemistry teacher who can go to chemistry after graduation, the other three majors are too difficult to find a job in Xiangjiang.

As far as MacLehose knows, there are not many chemical-related companies in Hong Kong, and only some of them are basically selling cosmetics or doing business, and there is no need for too many professional talents.

As for the School of Vehicle Engineering, it offers majors such as thermal energy and dynamics, vehicle engineering, mechatronic engineering, and industrial design, each of which is related to automobile manufacturing.

The question is, is there a well-known automobile manufacturing enterprise in Hong Kong?

Oh, no, it seems that there is one, the original Jardine Automobile Company, which was also acquired by Xia Yu, and its only car manufacturing plant is in Indonesia and not in Xiangjiang.

So after graduating from these majors in four years, employment will be a problem!

If it is not properly solved, even if you can enroll students, it will definitely have a bad impact on society if you can't find a job after graduating four years!

Maybe at that time, he was no longer the governor of Xiangjiang, but he couldn't get rid of his responsibility, and he didn't want to leave his post and be scolded.

Facing MacLehose's questioning, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Governor, I forgot to tell you this, after these students graduate, I will give them a choice, whether to choose to join my company or choose their own career, so there will be no problem with employment, as long as they can graduate successfully!"

MacLehose was silent for a moment, gradually clearing up his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

His eyes widened slightly, and he hurriedly asked Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, do you mean that you want to set up an automobile manufacturing company and a chemical company in Xiangjiang?"

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I have this plan, and I am already thinking about taking action, but Xiangjiang's talent system is too poor, and I have to figure it out myself." ”

Hearing Xia Yu say this, the last doubt in MacLehose's heart dissipated directly, and the original intention was gone.

"Mr. Xia, Xiangjiang does have problems in the talent system in engineering, since Jiuding University is willing to take on the responsibility of cultivating talents, I fully agree, the expansion of Jiuding University is no problem, I will have a meeting to arrange this matter later." ”

"If that's fine, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the automotive industry and the chemical industry, and what new companies do you want to start?"

Xia Yu immediately smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, Mr. Governor, the latter is the second purpose of my visit today." ”

MacLehose raised his eyebrows, his heart became more and more curious, his spirit was further concentrated, he looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes and said, "Mr. Xia, please speak!"

Xia Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said without hurry.

"Mr. Governor, after returning to Xiangjiang, I have carefully thought about the current situation and future development direction of Xiangjiang. ”

"Now the main economic body of Xiangjiang is light industry, commerce, finance, real estate and tourism-based diversified structure, but from 1970 to the present, the proportion of the secondary industry represented by light industry in Xiangjiang's GDP has been decreasing, in 1970 it accounted for 36.5%, but last year, the proportion has dropped to 32.1%, and there is a further downward trend!"

"It seems that the tertiary industry is accounting for more and more prosperous and prosperous, but in fact, there are great worries. ”

Hearing this, MacLehose frowned, he didn't believe that Xia Yu would talk nonsense, but the analysis of the industry is not just talking, but there must be strong evidence.

Xia Yu had already taken this into account and looked at Huo Jianning.

The latter immediately took out the economic research report made by Jiuding Think Tank and handed it to MacLehose, and finally said loudly: "Mr. Governor, let me tell you about it next." ”

"Mr. Governor, you can open the report and listen to it, and if you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time. “

"The survey report analyzes the changes in the decade from 1970 to 1980, and you can directly look at the most detailed 1980, last year, Hong Kong's export trade was still based on the export of local industrial products, and the total export ratio of Hong Kong products reached 78.4%. “

"And most importantly, according to our long-term survey, Hong Kong's exports of textiles, garments, watches, plastics, toys and other industries account for 83.8% of Hong Kong's total exports. ”

"And the number of workers employed in these industries accounts for 72.5% of the total number of workers in Hong Kong!"

"The financial industry is very closely related to these light manufacturing industries, and once these industries weaken, then the financial industry will also have big problems. ”

"Now these labor-intensive industries that have no labor threshold and are extremely dependent on labor have been gradually transferred to the mainland, and the cost of workers on the mainland is only one-fiftieth of that of Hong Kong people, and no businessman is not tempted!"

"If entrepreneurs go bankrupt and workers lose their jobs, it will be a problem for citizens to eat, and there will be no money to buy a house, and the real estate industry will also fall into a trough. ”

......

"Speaking of the financial industry, in fact, the financial market in Hong Kong is very unstable, which has a lot to do with the immaturity of the system, there have been two major stock market crashes in the past ten years, which have caused huge damage to the economy of Hong Kong, and many enterprises have gone bankrupt as a result. ”

"One of the key factors is the coexistence of the four major exchanges, and although the Hong Kong government passed a bill last year to merge the four exchanges, as far as I know, progress has been slow. ”

"According to our analysis, at the current pace, the merger will be considered smooth by 1987. ”

"There are still more than six years to go, it is too slow for Xiangjiang, the opportunity for development is fleeting, Xingcheng is eyeing Xiangjiang, not to mention Taiwan Province, Xiangjiang can't afford to wait!"

......

Listening to Huo Jianning's narration, combined with the various relationship charts and curve charts in his hand, MacLehose's face gradually became ugly.

In fact, the Hong Kong government's industrial and commercial bureau will give him a report on the economic development of Hong Kong every year, but the situation is not as serious as Huo Jianning said.

However, when I asked myself, MacLehose felt that the research report in his hand was more detailed than that of the Industry and Commerce Department, and it was more intuitive and clear by using various charts and graphs to make comparisons.

And every important piece of data is attributed, either by citing a banking report or by a detailed survey.

So in MacLehose's heart, he already believes in the authenticity of the economic research report in his hand.

It's just because he believes that his face is even more ugly, and there are still so many problems in Xiangjiang under his governance, isn't it a true reflection of his ineffective governance?

After a long time, Huo Jianning finished talking and ended with a concluding sentence.

"Mr. Governor, the manufacturing industry is the foundation of Hong Kong's economy, and the best way to solve the hidden worries of Hong Kong is to upgrade and transform Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, expand and upgrade to industries with high thresholds and high output value such as electronics, automobiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and equipment, and promote the diversified development of products and markets. ”

MacLehose nodded a little indifferently, picked up the teacup but found that the teacup was empty, Huo Jianning immediately poured him tea, MacLehose took a sip, the bitter taste was released in the taste buds, and MacLehose's mind became clear.

He thought for a long time, looked at Xia Yu, and asked, "Mr. Xia, since you have done this investigation, you should have also made the next plan, right?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Governor really sees it!"

As soon as Xia Yu's words fell, Huo Jianning took out two more documents from his briefcase, and presented them to MacLehose separately.

Xia Yu's voice appeared at the right time: "Mr. Governor, the one on your left is the industrial transformation plan of Xiangjiang made by Jiuding Think Tank in combination with the global environment, and the one on your right is the envisaged plan of the industry I am going to develop in Xiangjiang. ”

"It's only 3:25 a.m., so there should be plenty of time. ”

MacLehose bowed slightly, rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and opened the report on his left.

From the economic research report just now, it can already be seen that Xia Yu's Jiuding Think Tank is powerful, and he now wants to know what Jiuding Think Tank thinks about the future of Xiangjiang!
