In the previous life, Liu Lang clearly remembered that in the early nineties, a large number of factories in Fucheng were in trouble, the reason why he was impressed was because Liu Lang's parents worked in the factory, especially the bearing factory next to Liu Lang's house, he went to the factory to play when he was a child, it turned out that a factory with nearly 100 people went bankrupt in just one or two years, fortunately, Liu Lang's parents were transferred to the government because of their hard work, otherwise they would be unlucky if the factory closed.

Liu Lang's parents were not affected, but Liu Lang's three uncles all worked in the factory, and finally all lost their jobs, the youngest uncle lost his job before he was in his thirties, and he could only rely on working outside to make money to support his family, and he could live a life of food and clothing by relying on the skills of an electrician, and the second uncle was much worse, he was almost forty years old at that time, he had already married a family, and the children were more than ten years old, and the burden of supporting the family made him breathless, and he could only work everywhere as a force for others without a skill, and later learned the skills of a bricklayer to be better, but perennial labor also made his body age prematurely, and when he was in his fifties, he injured his waist and could only do some light work after recovery。

Liu Lang's family is actually quite passable, at least they were still very young at the time, the eldest second uncle was less than forty years old, no matter how much he said, he had a little strength, look at those people in their fifties, they have worked in factories all their lives, they have no other skills, they are still old, and it is too late to learn.

The bankruptcy of a large number of industrial enterprises was also a turning point in the decline of Northeast China, and the original industrial province suddenly became a burden on the state.

Liu Lang once focused on the situation that will happen in the north in the book "National Problems" a few years ago, and the country has also warned about it, and has also formulated a lot of plans, such as focusing on the implementation of special enterprise reform for those small enterprises in the north, but the effect is not great, since no one has come forward to do these things, then Liu Lang is not polite, he is going to take action this time.

Wang Zhendong listened to Liu Lang's explanation and fell into thought, it seems that Liu Lang is serious about this matter, and Liu Lang himself is a mechanic, no one knows what he has learned now, but Wang Zhendong got some news from yesterday's meeting, Liu Lang still learned real skills in the United States, and wrote a few papers that are said to be of great help to the country, as for the problem of funds Liu Lang not to mention, he dares to bet 500 million US dollars with Zhao Hongyang, which is not bad money at all, and there are many preferential policies for the reform of northern enterprises, once someone takes over these enterprises, the state will give a lot of convenient conditions。

"Liu Lang, when do you want to do this?"

Wang Zhendong asked.

"This year is '87, and my studies in the United States will end in '88, and I will do it when it's over. ”

Liu Lang's graduate studies will end in 88, and he is not going to take any more doctoral exams, because the doctoral program he is studying now, and after a year, Liu Lang believes that his knowledge will not be much lower than that of American professors, and he will be able to show his strength at that time.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

Wang Zhendong replied.

"Brother Wang, in fact, we can do some preliminary work now to prepare for our big show in a year!"

"What job?"

"I want to open a mechanical engineering course at our Mining University in Fucheng, and hire teachers from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Huaxia University to give lectures there and impart the most advanced mechanical knowledge in China!"

"Teach and do what?"

Wang Zhendong was puzzled.

"What I want to do is the world's most advanced machinery factory in the future, it is useless for me alone, there must be senior talents, my course is not for those college students, but for the workers in the Fucheng factory, especially the workers in their twenties and thirties, they are young and want to be motivated, we want to give them a chance to show their ambitions. ”

"Liu Lang, your suggestion is good, but I don't understand, why don't you do it in Shencheng, but choose Fucheng, Fucheng's economy can't compare to Shencheng!"

"Brother Wang, Fucheng is my hometown, of course I have to take care of it first, and the economy of Fucheng is very simple, and now I live on coal is not bad, but the coal will be dug up one day, what should I do then? There is a Ruhr area in West Germany, this place produced coal before the seventies, and contributed a huge force to Germany, but after seventy years the coal was consumed, the local economy declined all of a sudden, and then gradually recovered by industry, and now it has become the largest industrial area in West Germany, many technologies are world-class, we Fucheng should start in advance, do this attempt, it is best to pave a way for the country!"

If the unemployment of a large number of industrial workers in the 90s was a last resort of the state, then the economy of Fucheng fell from the third to the last in the province in about 2,000 years is another big problem, that is, urban transformation.

Fucheng started by being rich in coal, at its peak, it dug out 10 million tons of coal every year and shipped it to all parts of the country, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to about 2,000 years, a total of 300 million tons of coal were dug out, the Fucheng Mining Bureau had nearly 200,000 workers at most, and the families of the miners added up to nearly 500,000 people, and the whole Fucheng had a population of 1.5 million, and a mining bureau fed one-third of the population of a city, and the New Year's festival and the treatment of coal tickets and meat tickets, which is better than any unit.

But this situation has plummeted in 2,000 years, when the state reform has entered a new stage, the disadvantages of overstaffing and overstaffing of large state-owned enterprises have been fully revealed, coupled with the serious geological disasters caused by so many years of mining, and the cost of controlling these disasters is also astronomical, and finally, the state has also carried out drastic reforms in coal mines, many small coal mines have been privatized, and hundreds of thousands of miners have lost their jobs.

Behind the hundreds of thousands of miners are more miner families, for a small city with a population of only 1.5 million, this is almost fatal, since then Fucheng's economy is finished, from about 2,000 years until the era of Liu Lang's rebirth, it has not slowed down, in Liaobei Province to mention Fucheng that is a symbol of poverty.

At that time, the country put forward the problem of the transformation of energy-exhausted cities, and Fucheng became a model, but the success of the transformation was not easy to say, and some people said at that time that they should learn from the Ruhr area of Germany and transform from an energy-based city to an industrial city.

However, this kind of transformation is not suitable for Fucheng or even the entire province of Liaobei, because in the 90s, most of the industrial enterprises in the entire north went bankrupt, and the industrial base was gone, what did you do?

The reason for this is that the reform in the 90s was too extreme, and the closure of many factories completely broke the foundation of the industrial base, and it was too late for the country to recover after a few years.
