Chapter 772: Bai Yinhua
The double-introduction project is naturally a major project of Tianzi No. 1 at present, and the whole country is mobilized to do a good job in the placement of talents and technologies from the Soviet Union. However, this is not to say that domestic work does not need to be done well. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to immediately feel the impact of these projects on their lives.
But in the next 10, 20 years, or even longer, these valuable Soviet talents will have a profound impact on China, and then form far-reaching changes.
Actually, this is easy to understand from some data.
In 1990, there were 613,600 university graduates in China. Compared with the population of more than one billion, college students in this era are indeed well-deserved children. But even these 600,000 or so people are not immediately in key jobs.
Just a bachelor's degree, in the field of technology development and scientific research - even being a scientific research dog is not enough qualifications.
For example, a senior cadre classmate of Professor Yang of Peking University was also outstanding in his learning level, and later he did not obediently go back to become the second ancestor. saw Professor Yang pretending to be × muttering a few words on TV, and he had to be taught a good lesson by his father.
In 1991, China's academic circles really took up the banner of the older generation of scientific research workers who had been engaged in research work for 10 or 20 years. In 1981, there were 140,000 college graduates in China. And in 1971, it was the time for the third class to graduate!
As for the students of colleges and vocational colleges who are responsible for filling the space in scientific research institutions, I am afraid that they will not even be able to touch the side of being a scientific research dog. That is to say, the main force in China's scientific research field is actually less than one million people.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, in a very short period of time, more than 10,000 Soviet scientific researchers have signed contracts to work in China. Among these 10,000 people, the vast majority are high-level intellectuals in the Soviet military-industrial system, and their research directions are even more all-encompassing.
To say that the Soviet Union was one of the two poles of the world, although it felt as if there was never enough food to eat. But in fact, there is absolutely no problem for the Soviets to be fed, otherwise it is impossible to bring the United States to the abyss - why don't you see that the Americans are afraid of India?
At best, the Soviets did not eat well enough, and what they lacked was the supply of meat, which was caused by the geography of the Soviet Union.
In other respects, however, the Soviet economy has always been remarkable. And because the Soviet military-industrial system had quite a large sphere of power and influence, a large part of their supply of consumer goods turned out to be actually provided by military factories.
Moreover, because the military factory is very strict about quality, the civilian consumer goods produced by the military industrial system are still quite popular - the reputation of wool goods and skins is really resistant, which is how it has been established.
Later, when Goeh wanted to disarm, he first cut the knife on the military industrial system. The original intention was to transfer the productive forces to the field of civilian consumer goods production, but the actual result was to cut down the Soviet Union's production capacity for civilian and light industrial products.
So by the end of the Soviet Union, even eating and dressing became a problem for the Soviets.
But the technology and talent of these Soviet military-industrial systems will not disappear so quietly like the documents of the chopped projects. The factories are gone, the products are gone, but the people will not be lost with the pen of the bureaucracy.
When the Communist Party of the Soviet Union came forward to organize these talents to go to China, the technical experts and scientific research scholars who had nothing to live on had already had enough to eat.
Tens of thousands of desperate high-tech talents have come to China, and for China's scientific research system, it is like a virtual bamboo that has won the inheritance of a cliff, and has the inheritance of becoming a top master.
This significance cannot be overstated.
Of course, the dual-lead project is not the whole story. If China wants to return to the top of the world, it is more important to make its own efforts.
Although the technology of the Soviet Union is good, the ton and ton of steel can only be smelted from the hands of ordinary Chinese.
To build a strong China in the future, steel is the most important indicator. Judging from China's future development experience, there is no doubt that steel production capacity has a very close relationship with economic development.
Although on the surface, the United States cedes the world's largest steel production capacity to China in 1996. However, that is the United States has already completed the construction of infrastructure that requires a large amount of steel, and compared with the national strength of China and the United States, the steel production capacity of that year was not practical.
If you really want to compare, you can only compare the historical total, the per capita total, and the per capita historical total, and these data can be more revealing.
Therefore, even if China's steel production capacity surpasses that of the United States, the vast majority of its production capacity is just making up for its debts! Just look at how much time it takes Americans to make steel, and we know that the Chinese market's demand for steel production capacity will not be weakened for decades.
With Hu Wenhai's tens of billions of dollars of production equipment and technology invested in the northeast region, one of the biggest directions is to expand the steelmaking capacity of Gangcheng Group.
Since the Industrial Revolution, the concept of coal-iron complex has been a concrete embodiment of a country's national strength. As the central area of China's traditional coal-iron complex, the Bohai Rim region and the steel city, as a world-renowned steel producing area, have unique industrial and resource advantages.
Steelmaking equipment dismantled from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union was continuously transported to the Bohai Rim Industrial Belt. Among them, most of the steel production investment operated by China Railway Construction Investment Bank for Hu Wenhai has been absorbed by Gangcheng Group.
As a mature steel city, Gangcheng has technology, talents, and teams, but from the perspective of urban development, it did not continue to keep this part of the new production capacity in Gangcheng, but deployed a new production base in Niuzhuang.
For the steel city, there are huge reserves of iron ore locally, but the taste of China's iron ore is not high enough, and the technology used in some foreign imported equipment is not very suitable. The annual output of Gangchengben subway ore is about 40 million tons, which is enough at present. However, after years of continuous construction and production, the Gangcheng Metro Mine gradually failed to satisfy its appetite.
In this way, the advantages of Niuzhuang's deep-water harbor near the sea will be brought into full play. High-grade iron ore shipped from Australia and South America is constantly coming ashore here. Some well-informed sources claim that Cao County is said to have colluded with the Gangcheng Group after September 1991, actively trying to make Maoshan Iron Mine one of Niuzhuang's iron ore suppliers, and the price offered is quite favorable.
In 1990 alone, Bohai Province's steel output reached more than 18 million tons. At the New Year's Day annual meeting in 1991, Gangcheng Group made bold statements that it would achieve a group output of more than 20 million tons in 1991!
I don't know, I thought it wasn't 1991, but 2002. It was not the Gangcheng Group that said this, but the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee......
To support Gangcheng Group to achieve such a goal, iron ore supply alone is not enough. Coal-iron complex, coal is still in front of iron. Gangcheng Group dares to release such big words, and there is a deeper meaning in it.
The Baixiu Railway from Baiyinhua to Xiucheng has been running for almost two years.
The name Bai Yinhua is certainly not as famous as Gangcheng, but its importance in the planning book of China's Ministry of Land and Resources is not much worse than that of Gangcheng Iron Mine.
Because there is coal here.
The coal of Baiyinhua Coal Mine is not only an extremely excellent medium-ash low-sulfur lignite, but also has unique mining conditions, and it is an open-pit coal mine that is extremely easy to exploit! That is to say, it does not need too long-term investment and construction, and it can burst out to a considerable degree of production capacity and maintain a growth rate that is not much different from that of Gangcheng Group's steel output.
In the original history, the railway connecting Baiyinhua to the outside world was not completed until 2007. The expansion of Baiyinhua's railway line to Xiucheng Port was not approved until 2014.
However, after the successive rollout of the Niuzhuang project of Gangcheng Group, the strong demand for coal energy prompted the Ministry of Railways to quickly roll out the construction of the Baixiu Railway. As long as it can connect Baiyinhua and Xiucheng, the transportation hubs of the northeast gate, then a steady stream of coal can be immediately supplied to Niuzhuang, ensuring the steel production capacity of the entire Bohai Province.
Just look at the original history, the tightness of domestic steel in the nineties, you can know how strong the demand for steel is in the market.
From this, it can be known that the priority of the construction of the Baixiu Railway must be quite high. With the support of China Railway Construction Investment Bank, Baixiu Railway is the first information-based railway to implement the latest standards from the beginning of construction.
The strengthened foundation can ensure the simultaneous two-way opening of 10,000-ton trainsets, and the digital configuration of the whole line of Tietong Group can greatly shorten the departure interval.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, at the beginning we were somewhat apprehensive about the investment in the Baixiu Railway. ”
Hanging on a special train car behind the 10,000-ton freight group, the section length of the Baiyinhua train section was full of red light, and the pride was overflowing: "In order to build the Baixiu Railway and meet the requirements of the expected design of the 10,000-ton train, the cost per kilometer will be nearly 10 million yuan." Such a high cost is the first case in the country. If the benefits cannot be recovered after it is put into operation, the bureau does not know how to repay the more than 6 billion loans of China Railway Construction Investment. When the time comes, even if we take out our Baiyinhua train depot and train station and sell them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back so much money......"
"Hehe, that's true. ”
Hu Wenhai's eyes were staring at the endless prairie outside the car window at this time, but it was an old acquaintance who spoke.
This time, Hu Wenhai wanted to go to Bai Yinhua to take a look in person, and the Ministry of Railways also intended to "show off" to show the major shareholder of China Railway Construction Investment whether his money was worth spent. Therefore, it was none other than Fu Zhiheng, the iron-fisted director of the Shengjing Bureau, who came to accompany him.
I saw Fu Zhiheng breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Many of the construction standards of the Baixiu Railway are adopted for the first time, and the price of equipment is scary when it is purchased at the beginning. At first, the cost per kilometer was 10 million yuan, but in the later stage, the cost was only 6 or 7 million. It's really a matter of tearing down the railroad and selling it, but it can't be sold at this price. ”
The head of the Baiyinhua train service section nodded again and again beside him: "The Baixiu Railway is 650 kilometers long, and Baiyinhua has no other industries in the local area except coal. And the capacity of the railway, which is built to the highest standards, is quite large. If the operation efficiency is too low, the investment will not be wasted, and it is not known that the cost will be recovered in the Year of the Monkey. These six billion loans, just interest, can swallow up the benefits of thousands of employees in our section. ”
"Hehe, at that time, the employees of our Baiyinhua section, which one was not walking on thin ice!"
"The Baixiu Railway is a supporting project of the Niuzhuang Iron and Steel Project, and its capacity planning has already been done. Hu Wenhai retracted his gaze, snorted twice with feigned dissatisfaction, shook his head and said: "As long as the production capacity of Niuzhuang goes up, the amount of coal transportation in Baiyinhua will be indispensable, how can the Baixiu Railway not be able to recover the investment?"
"Hey, that's the reason, but the matter has not been implemented, who can say that the risk does not exist?"
Fu Zhiheng couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but he complained in his mouth: "That's a loan of 6 billion yuan from China Railway Construction Investment, and with such a big debt, I haven't been able to sleep well in the past two years." The employees who selected Bai Yinhua's maintenance depot didn't want to go to the system at that time, and many employees went to my office!"
"Oh?" Hu Wenhai thought for a while and couldn't help nodding: "This is true, Bai Yinhua has to carry such a big debt, and it is normal for employees not to want to go over." If the final project fails, not to mention the lack of staffing, at least the work organization will be affected. This problem is not simple, how did you solve it?"
"Yes!" Fu Zhiheng sighed, showed a look of reminiscence, and said with a sly smile: "This matter is indeed making a fuss, but the solution is not a new thing, and it has something to do with Mr. Hu." ”
"Something to do with me?"
"Yes, didn't you set up a labor dispatch mechanism in Xiucheng?" Fu Zhiheng patted his thigh and said triumphantly: "Just this labor dispatch, let's give him a flexibility." We set up a labor dispatch company under the Shengjing Bureau, and then transferred the selected employees to the dispatch company, and then recruited some contract employees from the society, so that their working relationship is not in the Baiyinhua section. Even if something goes wrong with Bai Yinhuaduan, it's a big deal to go back to the labor dispatch company and wait for distribution, and there will be nowhere to go if he won't be dragged down. ”
"This method ......" Hu Wenhai's eyes turned around on the faces of Fu Zhiheng and Duan Duanchang, and he couldn't help but smile: "If you do this, the employees of Baiyinhua Duan will not regret it now, and their intestines will be green?"
"Haha-"
"Hahahaha-"
Fu Zhiheng and Duan Duan Chang nodded in unison, and couldn't help laughing: "No one thought that the Baixiu Railway would really completely recover the investment cost of six billion yuan in just one and a half years! Now eighty percent of the operating income of the Baixiu Railway is pure profit, and it is not as easy as it was at the beginning to transfer the working relationship to the Baiyinhua section!"
