Chapter 251: Birth Crisis
jingle bells!
Guan Fei was reading the reverse research report submitted by the research unit one by one, absorbing and digesting the standards for military product development and manufacturing, so as to use this as a benchmark to deduce a set of future military standard systems in the base area, when the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The telephone on his desk is no longer the old-fashioned telephone made of black plastic with two thick dumbbells, but a button-type programmable telephone produced by the local community. With the help of this optical fiber network laying, the program-controlled telephone network layout project was realized at the same time.
Guan Fei was summoned back to reality by the phone ringtone, glanced at the caller number displayed on the LCD panel on the phone, smiled, reached out to pick up the receiver, and joked: "Sheng Guo, why did you remember to call me, is there something to find me, or is you so excited to use a new phone to call around?" ”
He, Zhang Shengguo, and Sun Yaohua, the three giants of the base, in terms of age, are only twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, and young people should be lively and cheerful, and they are all right, no different from others. Usually in front of people, in order to maintain the majesty of the superiors, show a mature and steady appearance, but after a long time, people are uncomfortable.
Only when they communicate in private can they show their true side without scruples, which can be regarded as a mental adjustment.
"Lao Guan, your new phone is really useful. I'm not here to brag to you today, though......"
Opposite the earpiece, Zhang Shengguo's voice sounded more serious, Guan Fei also put away his smile, and asked Zhengse: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"That's right, Director He of 58992 called me just now and said that from next month, our business dealings with China will be implemented according to the new quota. According to the exchange of views in various parts, the quota given to us by China is 30,000 tons of steel per Chinese New Year's Eve, and crude steel, steel plates, steel bars, alloy steel, etc. are included in this limit. On the phone, he took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "Moreover, the raw materials such as steel used in the orders we place in China are also included!" ”
After saying that, there was a silence on the other side of the phone.
Even if he was mentally prepared, Guan Fei was silent for a few seconds before he said in a deep voice: "I know, I will solve this matter." Until then, there is no need to adjust the construction schedule, and it is still carried out according to the established plan. In this regard, please! ”
"I understand, don't worry!" After Zhang Shengguo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Guan Fei slowly put the microphone back, leaned back into the wide-backed seat, his face was solemn, and instead of continuing to read the work report immediately, he lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought as he watched the green smoke rise.
The quota Zhang Shengguo mentioned refers to various means of production such as crude steel, special steel, and alloy materials sold domestically to the base areas.
In the report of the domestic Planning Commission, the base areas are included in the domestic economic circle in the name of units that are not listed separately from the plan, and they can enjoy the same treatment as domestic units and apply for the purchase of steel plates, steel bars, and other means of production needed for economic construction.
This price, which belongs to the planned price, is very low.
In the past few years, the scale of construction in the base area was not large, and after solving the bulk building materials such as cement by itself, other needs were limited, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant. The base area has purchased a large number of urgently needed means of production from China for urban construction, industrial and mining enterprise construction, and equipment production, and the country has also received urgently needed foreign exchange from the base area, and the two sides are in a win-win situation, and everyone is very happy.
However, as the construction of the base area began to take shape, the demand began to soar.
In particular, after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign at the end of last year, the base areas have been expanded by more than 10 times, and the security situation has been comprehensively improved. According to the construction plan formulated by Guan Fei, more than a dozen newly liberated cities and towns must be re-planned, and new urban areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, and administrative districts will be rebuilt, and cement and other building materials can be solved by themselves, but the steel bars required for construction still rely on domestic imports, and the demand has increased nearly tenfold!
Moreover, after the construction of a small-scale precision manufacturing system with considerable free production capacity, the construction of new cities has also begun to enter a stage of rapid development. The number of newly put into operation has reached more than a dozen per month, and the means of production such as steel required for the production line of the factory have also increased rapidly.
As a result, the country is a little unbearable.
At present, the monthly financial investment in the base area has reached nearly 200 million yuan per month. With such a large investment, the output value of industry, commerce, and service industries has also increased rapidly, and if this rate remains unchanged, it is estimated that the total GDP of the whole year of this year may reach about 8 billion yuan!
What is this concept?
Take last year as an example, Shanghai's GDP is 30 billion, the capital is 13 billion, Tianjin is 10 billion, Chongqing 9 billion, and then other key industrial and commercial cities, such as Guangzhou and Wuhan, are only more than 5 billion, and Chengdu, Qingdao, and Hangzhou are less than 5 billion!
In other words, the economic scale of the comprehensive reconstruction of more than a dozen new towns has surpassed that of Chengdu, Qingdao, Hangzhou and other old large cities with a population of one million, and is close to the scale of Chongqing, the third largest economy in the country!
Even compared with Shanghai, which ranks first, it is almost a quarter of its total economic output!
You must know that there is only one Shanghai in the country!
Even though Shanghai has continuously fed back a large number of new technologies and new products to the country and played its due leading role, the people of the whole country are still quite dissatisfied with Shanghai's special status of supporting the whole country.
And the adopted son of the republic in the base area, looking at this development trend, the degree of thirst for domestic means of production in the future may even surpass Shanghai!
Such a behemoth, lying on the country and desperately sucking blood, who can stand it.
If the domestic production capacity is strong, it will be enough, the key is that the country has just put things in order, the national economic adjustment has only come to an end, and last year's total GDP was only 450 billion yuan, and the production capacity is low. When the country as a whole turned to economic construction, there was a construction upsurge in all parts of the country, and the thirst for means of production was rising steadily......
In the past two years, the prices of domestic means of production have risen too fast, and the planned prices have almost doubled.
Even if the price soars, it is still in short supply, and countless factories and enterprises are waiting to be fed, in order to be able to get the planned means of production, they will do everything they can, trust relationships, go through the back door, and approve slips.
In this case, the country finally couldn't bear it anymore, and drew a red line for the base area through 58992 units, and set an upper limit.
Zhang Shengguo's call was to inform him of the upper limit: the upper limit of steel is 370,000 tons per Chinese New Year's Eve, which is about 1% of the country's crude steel output!
370,000 tons......
Guan Fei sighed with emotion, saying that it is not thin to wait for the base areas in China, and he has done his best to be able to squeeze out one percent of the production capacity in the tight domestic means of production and supply them exclusively to the base areas.
However, the current republic is still very weak, and it really can't bear more loads. As an entity that depends on this and expects it to be stronger and more prosperous, it is indeed unbearable to add more burdens to it.
Outsourced?
However, in this world, there is another country that lacks resources, is hardworking and willing to work, and is developing rapidly. It lacks iron ore, scrap steel, oil, rare earth ......, it can be said that it lacks everything, but it is not short of money, so it can wave a check book all over the world to search for various resources, and has become the largest competitor in the global resource market.
This country is Japan!
No one has the money, and no one has a strong backer, so it is enough for the staff of the Hong Kong office to maintain the current annual import volume of 120,000 tons of scrap steel.
I really can't rob people!
However, 370,000 tons is indeed not enough, and there is still at least 30 percent of the shortfall that cannot be filled.
If the supply of means of production is not solved, the trend of rapid development of the base areas will also have to be slowed down because of this.
Guan Fei smiled bitterly, put out a cigarette that had not been smoked, only a piece of white ash on the ashtray, and let out a long sigh.
Capital, logistics, talents, equipment, he gritted his teeth, racked his brains, and did everything possible to deceive, threaten, and lure to solve these problems one after another. Seeing that there was an endless highway ahead, he was suddenly told that the means of production could not keep up......
Engaging in economic construction is really not a game of management, because there are too many aspects involved, and it is really too difficult to implement.
Someone else can push the problem to him, who can he go to and who to rely on?
He can't rely on anyone but himself!
Whoever made him the leader of this collective, since he ascended to this position, it is impossible to only enjoy its goodness without taking responsibility.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the solution is something that people come up with. Ninety-nine bends have come over, and you can't stop at the last hurdle! ”
Guan Fei widened his chest, cheering up his depressed mood a little, and said in a low voice.
In the quiet office, no one was outside, everyone else, including the guards, and the only thing in the room was his self-motivated self-talk, hovering and lingering.
……
"Zhu Lao, don't be angry anymore, but don't be angry."
On a train departing from Kunming to the base area, a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a green military uniform, spoke bitterly and persuaded an old man who was sitting in a window seat in the soft sleeper aisle.
After the completion of the entire line of the Yunnan-Wei Railway, Dali, Baoshan, Ruili and other remote areas in the west finally have a shortcut to the provincial capital, from which they can unimpededly transport local specialties and commodities from all over the country from the closed mountains and sell them to all parts of the country, and the pace of economic development has accelerated sharply.
Not only the counties along the railway line have benefited immensely, but even the neighboring counties such as Yongsheng, Lijiang, Lushui, Yingjiang, Shidian, Nanjian and Shuangbai have also benefited a lot. From the county seat, you only need to drive or walk dozens of miles to the nearest station, so as to obtain a bridge to communicate with the outside world.
Even farther ethnic minority counties and cities have shortened the journey to provincial capitals. Many people who have been nesting in the mountains all their lives may finally leave the homeland where they were born and raised, and go to a broader world to broaden their horizons and study and progress.
They are generally poor, and some of them can't afford to buy a ticket with a year's savings.
The platform basically does not check tickets, and does not sell platform tickets. The conductor also turned a blind eye to the ticket inspection, as long as it was not too outrageous, it was roughly the same. Therefore, the hard-seat car is always crowded with people, and it is normal for five or six people to sit on a hard seat, and there are often ragged figures curled up in the aisle and under the seats.
The conductors only checked the burdens and baskets picked up by the masses, and the conductors only checked whether there were flammable and explosive materials, and the ordinary firewood, rice, oil and salt were completely ignored. In order to make a little more money, some people often rush the pigs, sheep and other livestock that they have worked hard to feed for a year to get on the train and sell them in big cities such as provincial capitals or base areas.
On the whole train, there is only a soft sleeper car next to the dining car.
