Chapter 454: Great Change

Nearly four years later, China has undergone tremendous changes. In 2001, the total output of the national economy reached a record 45 trillion yuan, exceeding the economic level of 2010.

This is a data that shocked the world, so much so that Europe and the United States called it *****. In addition to the increase in money supply in recent years, the most important reason is the strong growth of China's exports in recent years.

This is still thanks to Shen Danqing, who has instructed the company to transform since Changsheng Investment Group was sanctioned by Europe and the United States. In turn, it provides domestic enterprises with basic technologies such as key components and key materials to help domestic enterprises export their products to earn foreign exchange. As a result, Changsheng Investment Group successfully secluded itself behind the scenes and indirectly exported to earn foreign exchange.

His decision was like opening a Pandora's box. Since then, domestic enterprises have had technical advantages and price advantages, and these dual advantages have made similar foreign enterprises collapse.

Therefore, the country's economy has been rising in recent years, and it has become the world's second largest economy in one fell swoop. It is nearly 10 trillion yuan more than Japan, which ranks third, and it is very healthy economic data. This is because the contribution of industrial value is more than 30%, and the contribution of basic investment accounts for only about 25%. In other words, the amount of additional currency issuance is not large, so the renminbi not only did not depreciate, but appreciated slightly.

Moreover, at this time, the composition of domestic enterprises is also very healthy, with purely Chinese-funded enterprises occupying an absolute advantage, while foreign-funded enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures are in an absolute weakness. Because Changsheng Investment Group refuses to cooperate with foreign-funded enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures, those two types of enterprises do not have technological advantages and naturally cannot compete with Chinese-funded enterprises.

This is the advantage of having a leading enterprise, as long as Changsheng Investment Group cooperates with any company, the company will immediately enter the forefront of the world. There is technology, there is money, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

Of course, the biggest winner among them is Changsheng Investment Group, which hides behind the scenes and makes a fortune. It is not affected by the sanctions of Europe and the United States at all, on the contrary, it is still alive and well.

However, at this time, China's national defense strength is extremely mismatched with its economic status, and the security risks are extremely great, and it does not have the ability to wrestle with Europe and the United States.

The state is also aware of the danger, so it has slightly changed its national policy, and no longer blindly focuses on economic construction, but develops the military and the economy together.

In recent years, it has sent more than 20,000 military scientific research workers to participate in a full range of military research and development work.

At this time, other domestic scientific research units and military enterprises are still very weak, and their technology is lagging behind European and American powers and Russia. Only a series of advanced military R&D tasks proposed by Shen Danqing are expected to surpass the world's similar level, and only Changsheng Investment Group has a strong basic technology. The difference between other scientific research units is not a little bit, but a difference in technology generation for decades.

In terms of transportation, in recent years, the state has planned eight vertical and eight horizontal expressway trunk lines, and adopted the method of going hand in hand, hoping to speed up the construction speed, of which the Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway has been delivered.

This is mainly due to the fact that Changsheng Investment Group began to build the section from Hulan to Guangdong a few years ago, and this section of the project is the most complicated, with dense water networks and mountains and forests. The section from Beijing to Wuhan is basically a plain area, and the project is not very difficult, so this is the first time to build a project.

There are two vertical and two horizontal high-speed rail trunk lines are also starting construction at the same time, and now the section from Beijing to Changsha has been opened, so that Changsha to Beijing only takes a short hour, which is still not mentioned the maximum expected speed, which belongs to the relationship of trial operation, otherwise only half an hour is enough.

The reason why the section from Changsha to Beijing was opened first was also because of the relationship between Changsheng Investment Group, because the general contractor was Changsheng Construction Engineering, and the so-called buildings near the water were the first to get the month, which is probably the case.

There is also a high-speed railway from Beijing to Hi, which will go all the way to Nantong through Zhejiang and Fujian, and arrive in Shantou. It is the main traffic artery connecting developed coastal cities.

The high-speed rail will first build two north-south trunk lines, and then build two east-west horizontal lines, one from Shanghi to Yunlan, and one from Lianyungang to Lanzhou to Urumqi.

This is mainly due to the fact that there is too much difference in the economic level between the east and the west, with the eastern coastal zone already reaching the level of a moderately developed country, while the western provinces are still at the poverty level. The gap is even greater than in 2017, and it's harder to change the status quo. Because the time for reform and opening up is still too short, the concept of the people in the western region is still stuck in the era of planned economy.

This is not just a gap between the government or enterprises, but a huge difference in people's vision and standards, which cannot be changed overnight. It must be a sustained and comprehensive investment in economic, educational, talent, propaganda, science and technology, and other resources. Poor vision and concept are the most fatal, and lack of money is not the main reason. Now that the country has money, investing some capital is a matter of one sentence, but the people's ability is still a little lacking, and only increasing investment can only be short-lived, and it will not be long before the money will flow into the eastern provinces again.

China has a very low dependence on foreign countries, and the only things that need to be imported in large quantities are basic raw materials and basic materials such as oil. Industrial equipment, scientific research equipment and other fields have basically achieved self-production. Even the automobile industry, which has always been weak in technology, has also made great achievements, and a large number of excellent automobile companies represented by Tang Dynasty Automobile have risen strongly.

When China rises, it will inevitably step on the shoulders of other countries. Because the total amount of money in the world is certain, although there is an additional issuance, but the impact is not great. China has earned a lot of foreign exchange, so there must be some countries that have earned a lot less. Just as some countries in another plane have risen, then in this plane that has been changed beyond recognition by Shen Danqing, several countries have not succeeded in rising.

Among them, South Korea and Japan are the most influenced by China, and South Korea has risen because of the two major markets of China and the United States, just like Japan in the 90s. In fact, South Korea is learning from Japan in an all-round way, and their pillar industries are also electronics, automobiles, shipbuilding, and steel.

In this plane, South Korea's electronic technology is not mentioned, because what is popular in the world now is not the one they developed, but the electronic products developed by Changsheng Investment Group. South Korea's huge investment in the research and development of LCD panel technology has been announced to be backward before it has been put into practice. There are also memory, processing chips, etc., because they are not compatible with the products of Changsheng Investment Group, so there is not much market. In short, South Korea's electronics industry has suffered heavy losses and has not seen any returns.

There is also the automobile industry, which has not achieved much results. Everyone knows that the quality of cars in South Korea is not very good, and they are low-end cars, whether it is Hyundai, Kia or Daewoo, which has gone out of business. However, domestic car brands are basically low-end cars, and the quality is not inferior to Korean cars. In the red sea of competition for low-end cars, Korean car brands have no advantage, on the contrary, the disadvantage is still obvious. Therefore, in China, they also live a very difficult life, to put it mildly, they are very hard.

In the field of special steel, in addition to competing with the traditional powers of the United States, Japan and Germany, at home, they also have to compete with the powerful Changsheng Investment Group. Seriously, they're basically in a desperate situation. Changsheng Investment Group is too famous, and it is a domestic enterprise, how can they compete to win?

Now their only strong area is shipbuilding, and even this field is quickly lost, because Changsheng Shipyard has also begun to take orders for shipbuilding. In China, they are basically the glory of the sunset, and it is a matter of time before they are squeezed out of the Chinese market.

In the field of shipbuilding, not to mention South Korea, even the United States, Japan, and South Korea do not want to compete with Changsheng Shipyard. Because Changsheng Investment Group has unique electronic technology, because Changsheng Investment Group's future satellite communication network and global satellite positioning network will only support Changsheng Investment Group's own basic electronic technology.

As we all know, shipping is not like cars, they are sailing on the vast sea, on the sea, all the network and communication services are gone, so the two-star network of Changsheng Investment Group is the irresistible desire of the shipping industry.

South Korea is so hard, several pillar industries have been completely defeated, there may only be plastic surgery and tourism have a little advantage, but the service industry alone can not become a strong country, and it is extremely unsafe, and it may lose its advantage overnight, because the entry threshold of the service industry is too low.

Japan's situation is not much better than South Korea's, in China, they now have not many remaining areas of advantage, in addition to automobiles, only the field of scientific research equipment has a little advantage, these two areas are also a rabbit's tail can not grow, sooner or later will be squeezed out of the Chinese market by domestic enterprises represented by Changsheng Investment Group.

Japanese car brands, basically in the mid-range brands clustered, effectively avoiding the low-end Red Sea market, in today's domestic market, mid-range brand products are the largest market, can only say that their luck is very good.

In the field of scientific research equipment, they are surviving by virtue of their past fame, and they are in fierce competition with Changsheng Investment Group, and the situation is not good.

In general, Japanese companies are still better than South Korean companies, and they have not yet reached the point of total defeat, and they can still make a lot of money from China. In the international market, Japanese companies are even better than Korean companies, and the brand awareness of Japanese companies is still very high. In this regard, even Changsheng Investment Group is slightly inferior, and it is the same if Changsheng Investment Group is not sanctioned.

Nothing is static, and with China's strong rise, the international political environment facing China is much harsher, basically similar to 2017 on the other side. The European and American powers led by the United States are restricting and blocking everywhere, and Chinese export enterprises are sanctioned at every turn, but it has not yet reached the point where they will not be able to tear their faces in the end. In addition, the United States has also strengthened its military power in China's neighboring countries, as if it were a frame of black clouds crushing the city.
