Chapter 235: The land is vast and the land is rich
"Hello, Director Ma. β
Fan Yang stood aside in a proper manner.
Maintain the necessary respect.
I know very well what a heavyweight the other party is.
Director Ma smiled and nodded, picked up a document encapsulated on the table, and came to the two-seater sofa on the right side dedicated to the meeting: "Sit here." β
"Thank you. β
This kind of conference sofa is very distinctive, square, solid wood armrests, the back of the sofa is supported by a white openwork brocade, and a tea table in the middle with a plate of fruit on it.
"Do you smoke?"
"Thanks, no. β
"Don't be so inhibited, relax. β
The hall director lit a cigarette, and the secretary came over to make tea.
"It's not easy to gain the trust of the British at a young age, this proves from the side that you are a capable person, can we have a good chat?"
"Thank you for the praise of the leader, I will work harder, my personal situation is like this, I am a native of Sichuan, I have studied in the UK at my own expense, majored in Western economics and marketing, elective some international trade, after returning to China, I have walked around, I have been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, to Kangding, Shaanxi, and then all the way to Lianyungang to set up a trading company, it is also a coincidence, a batch of Shaanxi persimmons exported to the UK, met Mr. Brian, was invited to come here, to be able to act as an agent for the $4 million trade contract, I am also very surprised, but also very honoredγ β
After a pause, he said: "I hope to cooperate with the leaders to achieve this trade as perfectly as possible." β
Director Ma nodded: "The organizational language is very good, and you have the experience of studying abroad, and you went abroad at your own expense?"
Since 1985, in order to cultivate more modern talents and encourage them to study abroad, they have come and go freely, both publicly appointed and self-funded, and the number of self-funded students studying abroad is larger, and in the second year alone, more than 100,000 people have studied abroad at their own expense.
But there are many who go, and few who are willing to come back.
Director Ma has no doubt about this, who would dare to tell a lie in this regard.
And Fan Yang is not afraid at all.
This era is very different from later generations.
It is quite difficult to investigate a person's personnel file.
"Well, the grades were not good at that time, and the family saved money to send it out. β
"Then why the UK?"
"Uh. Fan Yang pinched the back of his head: "At that time, there were too many people in line at the US consulate, and I couldn't meet three times before I went to the UK." β
Director Ma smiled: "I don't mean anything else, in fact, Britain is also very good, the old industrial power, there are still a lot of places worth learning from us, the country also needs talents like you, how do you feel about going to the UK?"
"Yes. Fan Yang nodded and said: "The study abroad time is short, the teaching quality is high, the courses there are all registered by themselves, and they are very friendly to international students, but what touches me more is the British way of life." β
Director Ma flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and motioned for Fan Yang to continue.
"I feel the most, is the British life is very convenient, I have also been to the Ben, this kind of developed countries, industry and commerce complement each other, complement each other, the UK and the Ben, the number of supermarkets per capita, is the world's first, an ordinary street, will open several different brands of supermarket chains, anytime, anywhere, people can buy a variety of daily necessities, and every town, there will be large department stores, in the shopping mall, the ordinary people of the United Kingdom, can also buy and even the world's various products, the economic circulation is fast, which is far from enough in our country at presentγ β
Hall Master Ma raised his head.
Looking at Fan Yang's eyes, I already have a little appreciation.
"I have also seen a lot of returnees, I heard them talk about foreign countries, the most common thing to talk about is per capita income, and use income to make horizontal comparisons, and consider more, but also the issue of personal income after returning to China, like you don't have much to say, how can you pay attention to this piece?"
"This may be related to my major, I am studying commodity economy, majoring in 6S marketing theory, pay more attention to this piece, it is undeniable that the British processing aspect, profound heritage, he does not produce cotton, but is the world's first textile country, he does not produce tea, but has the world's most, and the largest black tea brand, his business philosophy, and product model, is still the world's leading. β
After speaking, Fan Yang boldly looked at Director Ma: "Please forgive me, in this regard, on the other hand, our country still lacks a lot for the time being. β
Director Ma didn't look angry at all, but asked with interest, "What's missing?"
Since Fan Yang got the trade contract, he knows what kind of person Director Ma is.
He said: "Concept, I think this is a fundamental concept problem, the British attach great importance to raw materials, which may be related to the land area of the United Kingdom, wet and cold all year round, and the same as this book, they are island countries, all kinds of production are seriously insufficient, anything is hard-won, so they attach great importance to raw materials, cherish, even if a melon and a fruit, a flower and a leaf, a trace of hemp, they will try their best to tap his maximum value, good at deep processing, so his products have high added value." β
"As for our country, although it is a large country and rich in resources, there is still a certain gap between it and Western countries in terms of commercialization, but the gap is gradually decreasing, so I refused to stay in the UK to develop and return to China. β
"yes. Director Ma took out another cigarette and lit it and handed it over.
This time, Fan Yang obediently took it, picked up the lighter on the table and lit it.
"You're right, but there's one thing I have to correct for you. Director Ma took a deep puff of cigarette and said: "There is a gap, and it is very big, but more importantly, the land is vast and rich, wrong, our country has the third largest land area in the world, does it seem to be very large?"
Fan Yang nodded and did not speak.
Director Ma smiled: " Do you know that among the 9.6 million square kilometers, there are 40 percent of the mountains, 40 percent of the grassland, and less than 20 percent of the cultivated land is left.
Fan Yang was stunned.
Director Ma continued: "In terms of resource endowment, agriculture, we can't catch up with North America, only the plains in Northeast China and North China, the degree of mechanization is slightly higher, and other Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, including Liangguang and Shaanxi, are unable to implement large-scale mechanization, and have to rely on manpower, minerals and oil, far from catching up with Central Asia, the Middle East, Russia, every year do you know how much grain our country has to import from the United States, Canada, Mexico, these places? And from Central Asia, the Middle East, how much crude oil is imported?"
Fan Yang shook his head.
"Massive, at present, the development of agriculture and industry in our country is uneven, and there is a big gap, what is our only advantage?" asked Director Ma.
Fan Yang still shook his head.
He didn't dare to interject when the leader spoke.
"Manpower, light industry, you are right, the extensive use of raw materials is the first major problem we are facing, at present, the coastal area to undertake international capital is going very smoothly, in just a few years, it has created countless wealth, for the country to accumulate a large amount of foreign exchange, but what about the northwest? Do you think this trade contract is very unreasonable? Did the British complain to you?"
