Chapter Seventy-Five: Building the "Wuxiao" of the Northwest

In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan had always longed for Wuxiao City in the south. At that time, it was also a county, but the leaders of Wuxiao County have embarked on a different development path from many counties in the country, they adhere to and deepen the development strategy of "revitalizing business and building a city", with cultivating, developing and upgrading the market as the core, vigorously promoting industrialization, internationalization and urban-rural integration, and have embarked on a regional development road with their own characteristics.

Wuxiao was also a poor county back then, and the natural conditions of agriculture in the county were not good, so many farmers had to go out to do business and sell sugar on a rattle. In such a situation, the local-government-leadership can only think about how to make these people who are struggling to survive survive. Therefore, at a time when many counties and cities across the country are vigorously driving away the "street market", Wuxiao City is the first to relax the industrial and commercial registration of self-employed people, allowing farmers to do business, and allowing urban and rural markets to be opened. Some business households have initially completed the original accumulation of capital through business, bought machinery to set up processing plants, and formed a family business model integrating industry and commerce with "front shop and back factory".

The living conditions of the local people have improved, and for the Wuxiao city - the government - has increased the tax revenue, and there is enough financial support for the development of the city. And what they didn't expect was that once the market in Wuxiao City was formed and the circulation was large, businessmen from all over the world flocked to it. The Wuxiao market gradually became stronger, and eventually formed a distribution center, which is famous in the country and even in the whole country.

Fang Mingyuan clearly remembers that after 2,000 years, Wuxiao was one of the four major shirt production bases in China, with more than 1 million shirts per day in Dachen Town and Suxi Town. Dachen Town is known as "the hometown of China's shirts"; it has nearly 4,000 production and operation enterprises in the jewelry industry, with an annual output value of 12 billion yuan, and the output and output value account for more than 70 percent of the national jewelry industry; and the knitting industry, which is dominated by the hosiery industry, has more than 30,000 sets of the most advanced hosiery looms in Shijie today, and the total production accounts for more than 40 percent of the country.

At the time of Fang Mingyuan's death, Wuxiao was the world's largest small commodity distribution center at that time. In the report "Shocking Shijie's Huaxia Numbers" jointly released by the United Nations, Shijie Bank, Morgan Stanley and other international authoritative institutions, Wuxiao Market is known as "the world's largest small commodity wholesale market", and it is the only county-level economy in China that has been selected. In the international popularity list of Chinese cities rated by professional research agencies in the United States, Wuxiao and Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou were jointly selected, ranking 18th; the third phase of its international trade city market is the largest single building in China, even surpassing the terminal of the capital airport; it is the first and only county-level public security department in the country authorized to handle foreigners' visas and residence permits; it is the only county-level city in the country that can have the right of final adjudication of foreign residents; it is the first county-level city in the country to open foreign-related enrollment and running schools; and the Wuxiao Court has become the first county-level court in the country to hear patent cases......

The number of crowns on top of its head made Fang Mingyuan countless!

"Uncle Li, do you know Wuxiao County in Southern Zhejiang Province?"

Li Dongxing knew in his heart that the drama of this conversation was coming! "I've heard of it, I heard that the economy there has been quite developed, and it has also risen with the momentum of small commodity wholesale. ”

"Wuxiao is located in Zhejiang Province, the land of fish and rice, and close to Shanghai, close to the Pacific Golden Channel, itself is an inland port, which is their unique advantage, but before Wuxiao really developed, the people of Wuxiao are not rich, many farmers in the county have to go out to shake the rattle to sell sugar for a living, not to mention life, even survival is not easy. But Wuxiao has a haode leadership team, they don't wait or rely on, with their own liliang, the development of industry and commerce, today's Wuxiao has a small reputation in Zhejiang Province, hehe, the future is even more limitless!" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but think of the previous life, Wuxiao was dazzling-chaotic-the first in the country.

"Then what does Fang Shao mean that we should learn from Wuxiao?" said the county magistrate Lu Liang hesitantly.

Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "I think Pingchuan County should also learn from Wuxiao. Although this is not the land of fish and rice, but we are 800 miles away from Guanzhong, the Han and Tang dynasties, here is the political and economic center of the whole of China, and we are close to Fengyuan, which is known in the West for thousands of years, which is an advantage in itself. Moreover, with the opening of the Eurasian Land Bridge, Fengyuan, which was originally the transportation hub and east gate of the Northwest Region, is bound to achieve greater development in the economic field of the Northwest Region. ”

"What is that?" Li Dongxing and the others looked at each other and asked Fang Mingyuan.

"The land bridge refers to the convenient transportation channel that connects the sea transportation lines on both sides of the transcontinental railway, and its main function is to facilitate the development of sea and land combined transportation and shorten the transportation mileage. However, by the end of this year, it will start from Lianyungang on the coast of the Yellow Sea in the east, pass through the Longhai Railway, pass through the Lanxin Railway, and then go west through the Northern Xinjiang Railway to Alashankou on the border of China, enter Kazakhstan, and then pass through Russia, Belarus, Poland, and then enter Kazakhstan. Germany, the new Eurasian land bridge of Rotterdam Port, the first port of Shijie in the west of the Netherlands, will be completed, because a large part of the route passed through the original 'Silk Road' leading to the Western Regions in ancient China, so we also call it the modern 'Silk Road'. It is believed that for a long time to come, it will be the most convenient channel for transporting goods at the east and west ends of the Eurasian continent. Fang Mingyuan explained to the crowd, "According to the calculations of the experts, the goods transported from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even the west coast of the United States will go ashore from Lianyungang and pass through the Eurasian Land Bridge to European countries, which will shorten the shipping distance by nearly 10,000 kilometers, shorten the time by half, and save 20 percent in freight transportation, and the economic prospects are very impressive! It can be said that the connection of this new Eurasian Land Bridge will not only facilitate the connection between China's east-west transportation and foreign countries, but more importantly, it will have a tremendous impact on China's future economic development!"

Li Dongxing and the others couldn't help but show joy on their faces after hearing this, Fang Mingyuan had already explained to this point, if they still couldn't understand it, it would undoubtedly be too stupid. With this Eurasian land bridge, it is undoubtedly an additional convenient export channel for Qinxi, which is located inland, and their products exported to Europe do not need to be transported to the ports on the southeast coast, and then loaded onto ships and transported hard, only need to be transported to Fengyuan, and can be transported to Europe by rail. In this way, both in terms of time and cost, a considerable piece can be reduced.

Therefore, Pingchuan County must seize this opportunity! Uncle Li, in Pingchuan County today, it can only be said that the masses of the people have begun to shake off poverty, but they have not really become rich! If they want to become truly rich, then the county must support and help them start their own businesses. You know, the owners of those enterprises in Wuxiao are mainly farmers, there is no higher education at all, they only know what is good to sell and produce, there is no planning for the enterprise at all, let alone any scientific management, the employed workers are also migrant workers from the surrounding provinces and cities, the production is some handicrafts and some simple daily necessities, which greatly reduces the cost, yesterday's production of socks is not popular with customers, then tomorrow will change a style, and then it is not good to sell, the day after tomorrow to change a style, until the customer is satisfied; , the price of the old style will be reduced immediately. Over time, many companies have formed their own brand products. Although it is inevitable that some detours have been taken in this process, after these years, Wuxiao has a number of local production enterprises, which has led to the overall development of the local economy!"

Fang Mingyuan's idea is very clear, now the small commodity wholesale market in Pingchuan County as a provincial wholesale center has appeared, Pingchuan County should take advantage of this east wind to vigorously develop and expand the advantages of industries, scale enterprises and products, accelerate the development of high-tech enterprises and products in the future, and then use the innate advantages of the location of the commodity wholesale market to expand to the province.

"Uncle Li, I think that when the county leaders formulate the development of Jihua, they cannot make decisions behind closed doors, let alone pat their heads to make decisions, but must respect science and investigation. Carrefour Supermarket is willing to fund the county to organize a delegation to the south for a field trip, and the number of people is set at less than 20 people. I don't know what Uncle Li thinks?" Fang Mingyuan proposed. Although Fang Mingyuan hated the squandering of those officials at home and abroad in his previous life, he couldn't give up food because of choking, and it was also a good thing for Pingchuan County to let these people go to the south to open their eyes and expand their thinking.

Li Dongxing naturally would not refuse, in fact, he also thought about whether to organize officials to go to advanced counties and cities in other places to have a look and learn from experience, but the county's finances have just restored the balance of payments and paid off old debts, and the county cadres have been "traveling" around the country. So Li Dongxing, who had scruples, also let go of the matter. Now that Fang Mingyuan took the initiative to propose it himself, it would naturally be better.

Although it must cost a lot to send out 20 people, today's Carrefour supermarket can no longer look down on this little money. Moreover, Li Dongxing is not worried that after the news spreads, the people in the county will make irresponsible remarks, and the people in Pingchuan County all know that every enterprise in the county has to have some leaders, but the Fang family's industry is not needed at all! A commodity wholesale center, a Carrefour supermarket, and three Fangjia restaurants in the county town have paid one-third of the total tax revenue of Pingchuan County that year, and if you want to count other associated industries, it can reach the point of half of Pingchuan County's tax revenue.

For such a behemoth, anyone who comes to Pingchuan County to be a leader will not provoke like a fool. And if you want to make achievements in Pingchuan County and make political achievements, you need the cooperation of the Fang family.

"And I have an idea, Uncle Li, let's see if we can try it out in the county. Fang Mingyuan groaned and said, "Now the county's procedures for self-employed business registration need to be reviewed and stamped by multiple departments, and it is very cumbersome and time-consuming for applicants to handle, can we find a place to let the relevant departments of these departments send people to settle in together, to ensure that all the procedures can be completed in this place, whether it is handled or consulted, so that the application time can be reduced, and the sincerity of our Pingchuan County for business services is expressed to the outside world." If it does work, I can find a way to get the media to report on it at the right time. ”

In fact, what Fang Mingyuan said was that this was the government-one-stop service model that appeared in China later, but in the nineties, this was still a rare thing.

Li Dongxing's eyes lit up immediately, not to mention Fang Mingyuan's accurate vision all along, he had already learned it, just by hearing him say this, Li Dongxing had already realized that there was a lot to be done!

Such a novelty-government-service method will definitely attract the attention of those who come to Pingchuan County to do business, and it will be even more remarkable if this service method is more effective. Huaxia - government - departments are famous for their low efficiency. If there is no way to get a business license or start a business, it is not new that it will not be approved for half a year! The Chinese people have long been very dissatisfied with this.

If this service model can be implemented in Pingchuan County, first, it can make the industrial and commercial registration procedures more transparent, reduce the links, save time, and improve efficiency; second, it can also reduce the occurrence of this time; third, it can also let Pingchuan County and even all the outsiders who come to Pingchuan County see the determination of the Pingchuan County Party Committee and the government to support the development of industry and commerce! Such a measure is bound to attract the attention of the provincial party committee, provincial government, and senior leaders who are now paying more and more attention to the economic development of counties and cities.

What's more, Fang Mingyuan also promised that he would find a way to let the media publicize and report in the future, so that the political achievements that are nine out of ten are like giving them to himself for nothing!

"County Magistrate Lu, I think Fang Shao's proposal is very good, and it has a strong manipulation-operation-nature. Do you go back and use this as a program to discuss and come up with a concrete charter to implement this reform measure in the county as soon as possible? Li Dongxing immediately said to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang and the others are not fools, and they can't see the benefits of this. Although in this way, the interests of the people in these departments may be damaged, and they will have a lot less opportunities to make money from it in the future, but the Fang family made a suggestion, and the secretary of the county party committee agreed, for these main leaders in the county, they can fill in a dazzling achievement on their resumes, how can they be blocked by these small fish and shrimp?

"Uncle Lee, it's not appropriate for me to say this, but I must warn you. Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "Although we encourage everyone to start a business, but the government-department must do a good job, such as papermaking, brick-making, and chemical raw materials and other highly polluting enterprises, must not allow a swarm of bees, and from the overall situation, I think the county should avoid this kind of enterprises landing in the county." This is the hometown of our Fang family, the land where our Mingyuan was born, and I don't want to see the gray sky, the choking and even suffocating smell when I come back one day, the river is full of filthy water, and the fields are polluted crops. ”

Fang Mingyuan knew that in his previous life, he only looked at economic benefits, no matter how many environmental pollution things appeared, he didn't want Pingchuan County's economy to come up in the future, but this environmental protection was over. In that case, don't say that you can't bear it, I'm afraid Old Man Fang won't be able to spare himself first!
