Chapter 610: Common Prosperity
The leader took a sip of tea and continued: "You have worked hard in a developed coastal city for many years, and the information you have received is the most advanced, and your vision is naturally broader than ours. Could you please express your high opinion and guide me, what kind of road should our county take? Can we get the people out of poverty as soon as possible? Is there a shortcut?" The leader's attitude was very sincere.
"Leader, you're lifting me up. How dare I express any lofty views in front of you? Let alone give guidance. Forgive me for not being able to do so, and have the courage to briefly talk about my experience to the leader for the leader's reference. The place where I was born is even more remote and backward than Brother Hong's hometown, surrounded by mountains, poor mountains and bad waters, the top of the mountain is still covered with snow all year round, and the natural conditions are very bad, but it is said to be very bad.
There are hundreds of households in our village, nearly 1,000 people, and the annual income of every household will not exceed 100 yuan. So I didn't even finish my first year of high school, so I had to drop out of school and go home to farm. Later, it was my eldest cousin who worked in Yunhai City who wrote back and asked me to go out to work, and I walked out of the mountains. Through my personal experience, I believe that in places where conditions are very backward in all aspects, labor export is the best way to get rid of poverty. Lu Yao said.
"It's a real way, and it's working fast, but there's a problem, and that's that the migrant workers are young and strong. When they are all gone, the fields of their hometown will be deserted, and the construction of their hometown will be unavailable. In addition, some people earn money by working outside, and they will pick up the whole family, which will cause population loss.
In the last two or three years, it has become apparent. Last year, our county had a net outflow of more than 20,000 people, accounting for 3 percent of our county's total population. If this trend continues, the number of people who will continue to flow out will increase dramatically every year in the future. In another 10 years, our county will lose half of its population, if not more. At that time, our county will most likely become an empty city, and I am afraid when I think about it!" said the leader, frowning.
"Leadership, with the increase of openness and the development of society, it will be a major trend for personnel to work and live in developed cities. In areas with backward natural conditions, population decline is also inevitable. But not everyone is willing to leave their hometown. For example, Boss Wang, a few years ago, he went out to work and earned money, didn't he also return to his hometown to develop?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.
"Boss Wang's lover grew up in our county. In addition, his father-in-law, Boss Hong, has been opening restaurants in the county, and has a certain economic foundation and development space. Boss Wang made money outside, and when he came back, he had investment projects and could still earn money, of course he wouldn't leave. But the others don't have his conditions.
In the past two or three years, Boss Wang and his father-in-law have not only opened this restaurant in our county, but also opened a flour mill, a food processing factory, two grain and oil wholesale departments, a brick and tile factory and a prefabricated panel factory.
"Uh, according to the current situation, Boss Wang is already the richest man in your county?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.
"That's right, he was the richest man the year before last!" the leader responded. The leader is relaxed and happy, but Wang Zhiqiang and Hong Ronghua's faces are not so good-looking, although they have been smiling all the time, they can only be said to be smiling and not smiling.
Since you are already the richest man, of course you have to assume the social responsibility of the richest man. You have to lead other blind dates to get rich together and contribute more to the construction of your hometown. The great man once said: Only through common prosperity can social fairness and justice be realized! Only then will your prosperous life be more enjoyable and your life will be more dazzling. Right?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.
"Mr. Lu is right, I have always done this. The workers I recruited were all farmers in my county, and I just wanted them to get rich as soon as possible and become well-off together. Wang Zhiqiang responded nervously. At this moment, his heart was up and down, and he was afraid that Lu Yao would ask him to donate again.
"It is necessary to recruit as many farmer brothers as possible in this county, and the most important thing is that you must not treat them badly and respect the labor of each of them. Especially in terms of salary, we must not be petty, we must let their hard work be rewarded accordingly, and we must not let them chill and secretly scold you for being rich and unkind, which is not good. Lu Yao said.
"No, our wages are transparent and have exceeded the average salary in the county. Wang Zhiqiang replied with a smile.
"You have been in business for so many years, and I believe you should understand that every cent of the profit we get is created by the joint efforts of our brothers and sisters of workers. If you want your enterprise to make more and more money and develop for a long time, in addition to scientific management, it is necessary to improve the enthusiasm of workers. Only if they are willing to pay and are willing to follow you. Lu Yao looked at Wang Zhiqiang and said.
"Mr. Lu said very much, I will definitely pay attention to this aspect of the problem, so that the workers will not suffer. Wang Zhiqiang nodded in response.
"Mr. Lu, you know that Boss Wang alone can't drive the economy of our county. If ten, twenty, or even more powerful bosses invest in our county, I believe that it will not be long before the economy of our county will reach a new level, and the lives of the common people will be fundamentally changed. Mr. Lu, are you interested in investing in our county? As long as you are willing to come, I promise to give you the greatest preferential treatment within the scope of the policy and escort you. The leader said sincerely.
"Leader, at present, our company is mainly developing business in developed coastal cities and sub-provincial cities, but I am willing to contribute to the development of your county. I have a less mature idea, if the leader thinks it is feasible, I am willing to invest money for a long time without asking for anything in return.
Before opening up, we had a large population and little arable land, and we were building farmland and water conservancy projects everywhere, turning the original forests, green spaces, and tidal flats into farmland and dry land. Now that the rural labor force has gone out to work, and the farmland is basically deserted, I think it is time to return farmland to forest.
This will not only prevent soil erosion, but also preserve the green waters and green mountains for our future generations. As long as the ecology of the whole county is done well, you can develop tourism resources and lead the villagers to get rich. Lucid waters and lush mountains are mountains of gold and silver! What does the leader think?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.
"Mr. Lu supports us in planting trees, doing a good job in ecology, and developing the tourism economy, right?" the leader asked happily.
