In view of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which once followed the same route, Deng Gong, who was already 88 years old, sat on the southbound train and began his trip to the south.

From January 18 to February 21.

Deng Gong inspected Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai and other places and made a series of important speeches:

"It is necessary to seize the favorable opportunity, speed up the pace of reform and opening up, and strive to better raise the national economy to a new level."

"The basic line must be managed for 100 years, and it cannot be shaken."

"The criterion for judging the rights and wrongs of all aspects of work should be mainly judged by whether it is conducive to the development of the productive forces of socialist society, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of a socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving the people's living standards."

"The essence of socialism is to emancipate the productive forces, develop the productive forces, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity."

"A little more planning or a little more market is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. The key to reform and opening up is to be bolder, seize the opportunity, and develop ourselves, and the key lies in developing the economy. Development is the last word. ”

"China needs to be wary of the right, but mainly to guard against the left. We must insist on grasping with both hands, and both hands should be firm. Only when the building of two civilizations is carried out can socialism with Chinese characteristics be carried out. ”

"If China wants to have problems, it is still within the party. It is necessary to be sober about this issue, pay attention to cultivating people, and select people with both ability and political integrity to join the team in accordance with the "four modernizations" standard. It's this thing that really matters the big picture. ”

Many people do not know how important Deng Gong's remarks are to China, especially to China that is bewildered by the collapse of the Soviet Union at this time -- it can be said that it is precisely because of Deng Gong's key remarks that China will not follow the old path of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and will be able to become one of the world's three great powers in more than 20 years.

Of course, most of the dividends ended up being taken by a small number of people......

Neverland.

Palace of Dreams.

Poolside.

Xu Cun, who was lying on Li Ruotong's legs, while accepting the loose bones of Miura Rieko, Kim Jixiu, Theron, and He Meitian in bikinis, admired the beauties he had collected over the years with a sense of accomplishment, and listened to his new secretary (internship period) Lin Zhiling report to herself the movements of Deng Gong's southern tour with her unique voice:

On the morning of 18 January, Deng Gong stopped in Wuchang and made a concise and important speech to the two high-level officials in Hubei Province: "There is a problem now, that is, there is too much formalism. ””

"From 19 January to 29 January, Deng Gong inspected Guangdong, met with responsible comrades of the party, government, and military in Guangzhou, took a group photo with everyone, and encouraged localities where conditions permitted to do so as quickly as possible."

When Deng Xiaoping visited Shanghai on 30 January, he warned the leaders of Shanghai at that time: "This is your last chance for Shanghai, and you should not let go of this opportunity." ””

“……”

After listening to Lin Zhiling's report, Xu Cun sat up slowly, and then muttered: "The day of the decline of Xiangjiang is not far away. ”

Li Jiaxin, who was standing next to Lin Zhiling, heard Xu Cun say that Xiangjiang was going to decline, and said in surprise: "Xiangjiang is going to decline? Is it because it's going back? ”

No one can deny that there is a reason for the decline of the Hong Kong River - after all, the land of the free is more convenient for trade than the land of the lord.

But-

This is not the main reason for the decline of Hong Kong.

If you want to talk about why Xiangjiang is declining, we must first talk about why Xiangjiang is rising.

Summing up successful experiences has always been a hundred and one explanations for a hundred people. However, Xu Cun believes that there is only one reason that is really reliable: Xiangjiang is a transit point for economic and trade exchanges between the mainland and the West. This condition was optimised in the second half of the twentieth century, making Xiangjiang a cosmopolitan city, but such a good opportunity is difficult to find before.

From the initial occupation of the Hong Kong River by the British to the outbreak of the Korean War, there was more than a century in between. During this period, although Hong Kong also had good economic development, it was far less eye-catching than it was in the future. This is because at that time, Xiangjiang did not occupy an irreplaceable position in China's economic map. At that time, China was almost completely open to the Western market, and foreign personnel, capital, and goods could enter Chinese mainland without hindrance, so naturally there was no need to bypass the British-controlled Xiangjiang and spend more troubles - Xiangjiang's status at that time was more focused on military ports than commercial centers.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, the economic ties between the young new China and the Western world were almost completely severed. However, China was not particularly inconvenienced by this, because it had fallen into the socialist camp. The Soviets could provide China with the money and technology it needed for economic construction. Since China is not very much looking forward to economic resources from the West, Xiangjiang, as a window to the West, can only be used for soy sauce.

The turning point began with the Sino-Soviet split -- with the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations, China's channels for obtaining capital and technology from the Soviet Union became narrower and narrower. However, China's economic construction and scientific and technological development have been increasing the demand for external resources. Under these circumstances, China naturally turned to the West in search of alternative sources of resources -- a landmark event of this shift was the famous "43 Plan" in the 70s, which imported a full set of industrial production equipment from the West to meet the needs of economic construction. This is the second time since the 156 Soviet aid projects that China has imported foreign industrial technology and equipment on a large scale. Represented by the 43 Plan, China and the Western economic system began to re-establish ties. This connection grew from small to large, and eventually evolved into a nationwide opening up to the outside world.

By the way, the person in charge of the Central Committee who directly presided over the "43 Plan" back then was Deng Gong's old man.

However,

Although China has set the basic policy direction of opening up to the West, in practice, opening up faces many problems. China's rules of doing business are not familiar with each other's trade rules, there is a lack of intermediaries who are familiar with the situation on both sides, and China also has various policy and legal restrictions on personnel, materials, and funds directly from the West.

All kinds of troubles have made it difficult for China's demand for Western economic resources to be fully satisfied, and this is precisely the condition for the rise of Xiangjiang - Xiangjiang people are familiar with the mainland, and even in the fifties and sixties, when relations between China and the West were at their coldest, there was relatively stable personnel and trade between the Chinese mainland and Xiangjiang. The people of Xiangjiang are also familiar with the West, after all, they have spent more than a century under British rule, and they are very familiar with Western laws, trade rules, and so on. This favorable condition enabled Hong Kong to quickly gain the status of a transit point for economic and trade exchanges between Chinese mainland and the West.

In addition, Xiangjiang also served as a bridge between Chinese mainland and Taiwan Bend -- from the easing of cross-strait relations in the 80s until the establishment of the "big three links" between the two sides of the strait, the vast majority of personnel and material exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan Bend would choose to divert from Xiangjiang.

The sheer volume of entrepot trade has made Hong Kong one of Asia's leading transport hubs and trading centres. With this was the creation of a financial center, which also benefited from the Chinese market, where money from the Western world was to flow into Chinese mainland, and a convenient trading center was also needed. By contrast, Taipei, Singapore, and even Kuala Lumpur are all vying for the position of Asia's financial center, essentially because they lack a market behind them that can absorb a lot of capital.

But now, especially after the return of Xiangjiang in the future, this favorable position has begun to fade day by day - the connection between Chinese mainland and the Western world and the Taiwan region is getting closer and closer, and direct economic and trade exchanges are becoming easier and easier, so why take the Xiangjiang bypass?

Fundamentally speaking, Hong Kong's status as a trade transit point stems from the lack of direct communication between the East and the West.

This is a temporary phenomenon rather than a permanent problem.

So, naturally, after this village, there is no such shop.

Of course, Heung Kong can also transform its economy through industrial transformation, and then find its own way out – for example, the tourism industry brought about by Xu Cun's DreamWorks Studios.

But then again, no matter how Xiangjiang transforms, it is impossible to successfully transform in a short period of time, and Xu Cun, a reborn person, is naturally impossible to accompany it to slowly transform, so Xu Cun said to Li Jiaxin: "It has little to do with return, this is the general trend." Then, Xu Cun said to himself: "It's time to shift the focus to the mainland, and there will be more beauties in the mainland in the future." ”
