"Senior brother, it's not that I'm pessimistic, I really can't see the light. Lu Zhijian has gradually let go in front of Sha Zhengyang, no longer has the previous tension and restraint, and the more he talks, the more lively his heart becomes, and some of the opportunistic thoughts when he came before have gradually faded, replaced by more hope that Sha Zhengyang can really bring hope to his hometown.

"So pessimistic?" Sha Zhengyang acknowledges reality, but does not think that it cannot be changed.

Butterfly flapping always brings a lot of different things, not to mention that 1998 itself was an extraordinary year.

The impact of the Asian financial crisis on China's domestic economy is only beginning to be felt, and China's top brass has begun to realize this, otherwise the central government would not decisively promote the long-stagnant reform of the housing system, which is to liberalize the real estate industry and stimulate the vitality of domestic consumption.

But this is not enough, the central government will continue to make a series of big moves, in fact, there are already a series of weather vanes.

At present, Koo Chen-fu, chairman of Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation, and his wife are leading a delegation to visit the mainland, and this will inevitably lead Taiwan capital to further invest in the mainland; although South Korean enterprises are currently facing difficulties at the present time, once this wave of relief comes, the entry of South Korean capital into China will be accelerated; and the structural reform of the People's Bank of China will also be finalized next month, with provincial-level branches abolished and inter-provincial branches set up; and the general secretary will visit Japan in December, which also indicates that the new orientation of Sino-Japanese relations is becoming more and more mature, and it also means that Japanese capital will further increase investment in the mainland。

There will be two major events in December: First, the People's Bank of China will further cut the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates to directly stimulate domestic investment;

There is also a huge opportunity here, that is, the central government has determined at the economic work conference to further increase investment in railways, highways and infrastructure, that is, the so-called "iron public foundation", its intensity is unprecedented, many of the original people think that the unlikely project will be quickly launched, so now it seems unlikely that the Duyi high-speed may become a reality.

Of course, if you just sit and wait, thinking that pie will fall from the sky, and don't go to the "ministry" to enter Beijing, then you will think too much, and such a good thing may not be your turn.

"Senior brother, it's not that I'm too pessimistic, but the reality is so. Lu Zhijian exhaled a breath of turbidity, "I said that Wuling does not have such minerals as oil, natural gas, coal and iron ore that can be mined immediately as soon as they are discovered, from my personal point of view, the boundless scenery of green mountains and green waters is hidden in this high mountain and deep ravine, no one knows, although we do not have those minerals in these mountainous areas, but all kinds of animal and plant resources are the same treasures, bracken, vetch, lettuce, All kinds of pure natural plants of mushrooms, as well as high mountain tea without any pollution, and the same simple and industrious people, why should they suffer from poverty for decades, why can't they live a better life?"

"It seems that you also perceive what is the biggest problem in the Wuling area?" Sha Zhengyang said thoughtfully.

"Well, the traffic problem, this problem is not solved, and the development of Wuling has always been bound by this rope. Lu Zhijian nodded.

"Then what if there is a chance to untie this rope? What do you think Wuling can break through?" Sha Zhengyang asked again.

"I always think that the Wuling area is the best way to solve the problem of a considerable number of people who are difficult to go out of the mountains to work in other places, such as the high value-added green ecological products you mentioned, tea, wild vegetables, livestock and poultry meat products, but how to integrate them so that they can be successfully turned into commodities for sale, I think there may be many ways to explore here. ”

Lu Zhijian's prudence and meticulousness made Sha Zhengyang very satisfied, which shows that this person is not the kind of rhetorical and low-minded, nor is he the kind of utilitarian role who only focuses on GDP growth, but focuses on the income improvement of the vast number of farmers in mountainous areas, which is very good.

"What else is this? The part you mentioned is more like a smallholder economy, which is indeed valuable in a specific environment, but it is not enough in terms of broadness, especially from the perspective of the government. Sha Zhengyang said lightly.

"The manufacturing industry is certainly the best way to solve the surplus labor force in rural areas, but the Wuling area has no foundation, which is very difficult, and it is difficult to compete with other regions in terms of competitiveness. Lu Zhijian sighed, "I really can't think of it, senior brother." ”

Sha Zhengyang also knew that he was a little embarrassed for this little junior brother, and it was very rare to be able to talk about this, if he changed himself, if he didn't have the aura of rebirth, he was probably not as good as the other party.

"Well, your point is still clear, the only thing Wuling has is natural and pollution-free flora and fauna and ecological environment, so the crops produced in this environment, including the wild vegetables, tea, livestock and poultry meat you mentioned, in my opinion, can also include water, medicinal materials, and even the environment itself. Sha Zhengyang said calmly: "As far as I know, Wuling is the most famous selenium-rich area in our Hanchuan and even the whole country, the mountain springs and mineral springs are rich in selenium, then this is the feature, wild vegetables, tea and medicinal materials are rich in selenium, which is not comparable to other regions, and the oxygen-rich selenium-rich in the mountainous areas, picturesque landscapes, is it possible to consider how to form an industrial chain, it is worth discussing,......

Lu Zhijian was shocked, and the medicinal herbs and water were just that, he didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to directly target the environment itself, that is to say, the mountains and rivers are all landscapes, so it is pointing to the tourism industry?

Lu Zhijian left, leaving with full of passion and expectation, Sha Zhengyang estimated that the other party would have sleepless nights tonight.

This young man is good, in his opinion, compared to Wang Yaguang, he is a little less sophisticated and a little more innocent, but both of them are excellent talents, and they can help them grow up faster, which is also what he is willing to see, so he pinched some problems and let the other party go back to think about it himself, he can't tell him everything, it is not good for his growth.

When Liang Jinbai came in to clean up the leftover tea, Sha Zhengyang motioned for the other party to take a seat.

and Lu Zhijian's other party, Sha Zhengyang did not let Liang Jinbai avoid it, he also intended to let Liang Jinbai participate in some of his own affairs, like this is not a purely private matter, but more of a discussion at work, he feels that letting Liang Jinbai understand more will also help him benefit from it and grow faster.

"How do you feel?" Sha Zhengyang asked with a smile.

"It has been very beneficial. Liang Jinbai nodded, "Although I have been in contact with a lot of information before, but only when I go to these places, I see and touch it in a down-to-earth way, and I hear it, I know how specific and cruel the reality is. ”

"There is a process, but it is not pitch black, and there is no light in sight. Sha Zhengyang nodded, "Do you think that a county like Baoling should change the face of poverty, in addition to the road traffic problem, or in the case of solving the traffic bottleneck, in what aspects can it have investment points?"

Liang Jinbai knew that this was his boss testing himself, so he pondered for a moment and said categorically: " The tourism industry is not advisable now, even if the traffic bottleneck is what you said there is an opportunity to improve, it will be three or five years later, so this piece can only be put behind, I personally think that the only desirable is the food industry, fully excavate and make use of the original ecology and selenium-rich advantages of this region, which is difficult and unrepeatable in other regions, perhaps only this can attract real investors, and even overcome this huge obstacle of transportation. ”

"What about other labor-intensive industries?" Sha Zhengyang asked again.

"It's hard. Liang Jinbai said unceremoniously: "Whether it is clothing, shoes, hats, bags, electronic assembly and other industries, if the transportation problem is not solved, the transportation cost and geographical location will make it impossible to have a competitive advantage, so it is unlikely." ”

"Well, it seems that we can talk to the people in Baoling County more directly and concretely tomorrow. Sha Zhengyang also sees it the same way.

Early the next morning, the main leaders of the Baoling County Party Committee and County Government, who had received the notice from the region, flocked to the city, which made Sha Zhengyang very helpless, but he could only accept this enthusiasm.

I have to say that maybe they have been poor for a long time, and they are too eager to intervene from external factors to help Baoling achieve changes, so the enthusiasm they showed made Sha Zhengyang, who was already mentally prepared, have to sigh with emotion.

The secretary, the county magistrate, the deputy secretary, the executive deputy county magistrate, and more than half of the entire county party committee and county government team came to accompany Sha Zhengyang for investigation.

In the morning, what I could see was a few enterprises in the county, the scale was not large, most of them were very local people's livelihood-related enterprises, such as tea factories, flavor food factories, and rare pharmaceutical factories, mainly using local Chinese medicinal materials to produce two-flavor Chinese patent medicines, but Sha Zhengyang felt that the benefits were not good.

This shows that the county is not ignorant of its own advantages and disadvantages, the problem is how to become bigger and stronger, first, there is a lack of channels, second, there is a lack of capital support, and third, there is a lack of clear path and confidence.

At present, the state-owned enterprises have shown a trend of retreating from the country and advancing the people, and the county has neither enthusiasm nor the financial resources to make a fuss about the development of the enterprise, and it is already very difficult to maintain the county's cadres and teachers to eat.

"Commissioner Xiong, Secretary Tan, County Magistrate Qiao, I think I'll be here this morning, I actually know the situation of the enterprises in the county, let's take a look today, mainly have an intuitive feeling. Sha Zhengyang sat down in the slightly dilapidated conference room and got straight to the point, "A few leaders don't have to accompany me in the afternoon, I plan to go to a few neighboring towns and towns to have a look, if the county can have a leader to accompany it, nothing else is necessary." ”

Xiong Xiangkui, the commissioner of Wuling District, came to Baoling to accompany him, and Tan Kaishan, a senior county official, and Qiao Zhiming, the county magistrate, also accompanied him throughout the whole process.
