CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Old classmate, you don't know anything! The Northwest is no longer what it used to be, and to tell the truth, I have never eaten it at a table myself, let alone the grassroots cadres and ordinary people in the Northwest." Huang He looked at Hou Zhehai from afar and said seriously: "It's not that you can't afford to eat, or that you are reluctant to eat, but you don't have to eat, and you have no place to eat." ”

Huang Heyuan looked at everyone's eyes on him, adjusted his sitting posture, and said slowly: "The northwest under the impact of the economic tide is replicating the past of the east's economic take-off, and it is even better. I believe that all of you here have heard of or seen what the eastern part of the country was like in the past, especially the coastal special economic zones, even if you have not participated in them. What a crazy sight that was! Thousands of troops and horses go to the trouble for money, everything is for economic interests, all kinds of ways and means are used to the extreme, under the guidance of a guiding ideology, they give up their ideals, beliefs, and beliefs, just for the sake of economic progress, or have money in their pockets. If it is only a mode of economic development, it is understandable, but if it becomes the only way of thinking and acting of a country, a nation, and the whole society, we should be vigilant, at least we should not be so ecstatic, and it should not become a guideline for changing the entire ideology. ”

"This may not be appropriate to say, and it is not in line with my identity and status, but I just want to say these doubts and discuss them with my old classmates. Huang Heyuan read the doubts and incomprehension from everyone's eyes, and also understood that it was inappropriate to say this on this occasion, so he laughed self-deprecatingly and talked to himself, but then continued solemnly: "The madness and chaos at that time were still easier to understand and understand, at least it was only the impetuousness brought about by the turmoil, and more importantly, it was relatively simple, foreign businessmen and foreign capital were here to make money, just for the economy's sake, and there were not many other political attempts and schemes, and the scope and method were still controllable. What is it like now, you can go to the northwest and take a look, the replication I just mentioned may not be accurate, it should be said that it is more accurate to say sublimation. ”

"The market is chaotic, the composition is diversified, the society is multipolar, and the economy is disorderly, this is the status quo of the northwest in the new era, that is, the 'new four modernizations' in people's mouths, and the specific manifestations are more, and it is not clear for a while, but the context is still to follow." Huang Heyuan waved his hand to stop Lei Xiangdong's intention to interject, and then said solemnly: "In fact, so many transformations come together for one reason, political weakness and social ideology are chaotic, but there are very heavy factors and a very grim situation when analyzed. In the past, the purpose of everyone's economic work was relatively clear, to increase wealth for society and the country, and to make the economy bigger and stronger. Everyone asks themselves, is it still such a noble purpose? Isn't there any other selfish distraction, or is there a purpose to serve interest groups? In the past, the economic components were relatively simple, except for the state-owned, that is, the private sector, and at most the township collective economic model. What now? State-owned, private, private, joint-stock system, mixed economy, many do not know how to classify, often behind an economic behavior hides a variety of economic components, a variety of interest subjects, the basis of distinction is not this behavior or project, how many economic benefits, how much tax can be brought, how many people are employed, but who is behind the scenes, for whom to make money? And most severely, who's really doing things? Who's trying to push the wall? Are there all the pure economic interests behind the capital group? Is the convergence of internal and external economic interests just to support local economic and social development? Is there no interest group willing to sell their interests, or even color revolutions, in order to clear their original sin and legitimize capital? This is the reality of confusion. ”

"Let's drink first, and then slowly listen to Lao Huang say that he has just started, and the hour may not be over." Lei Xiangdong interrupted Huang Heyuan's words, picked up the wine glass and proposed to everyone, seeing that everyone except Huang Heyuan had made a glass of wine, he smiled at Huang Heyuan and said, "You continue, we will listen." ”

"I know what Lao Lei means, don't let me say it's still good for me, but not saying it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't want to, and it doesn't mean that everyone is not confused, unless you are not clean, not pure, I don't know what others are like at this point, at least Brother Tianxiang won't, he is the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he can still do it." Huang Heyuan looked at Qi Tianxiang and teased, looking at Qi Tianxiang's smiling and silent demeanor, knowing that he was unimpressed with his ridicule, he laughed, and then said slowly: "Let's not talk about the topic of going online, let's talk about the confusion of reality!" In this way, there is less worry about saying too much and losing it. ”

"What is there in the Northwest, you don't have to think about it, you know, underground resources and labor resources are cheap and seem to be inexhaustible, so every group that comes to the Northwest Nuggets says beautiful words about prosperity and development of the local economy and common prosperity, and their eyes are still staring at these two resources underground and aboveground." Huang Heyuan's expression became grim, his words were full of regret, he looked at everyone slowly, and then said: "We know what people want, and we also know what people want, but in order to develop the economy, for the people to get rid of poverty, in order to have enough food, we have to grit our teeth and do it, and build roads and bridges just to get resources out faster, and we don't care whether we are anemic or not, whether it is difficult to support." ”

"Over time, we have no own opinions, under the blinding of the guiding ideology of fast flow of water, the only means to speed up economic prosperity and increase income is only the development of resources and minerals, as long as it can bring economic benefits, anything can be done, everything can be done, mining everywhere, everywhere to open mountains and split rocks. The environment has been destroyed, the fragile ecology has deteriorated even more, agricultural production has stagnated, most of the farmland and water conservancy facilities have been abandoned and destroyed, self-sufficiency is seriously insufficient, a large amount of land has been abandoned, and peasants have left their hometowns to beg for food. What is even more terrifying is that with the implementation of the strategy of retreating from the country and advancing the people, the state-owned enterprises that can resettle and absorb employment in large numbers have been sold at a low price in batches or converted to a low-cost system. These tactics have been exhausted, and the road of selling land and real estate is left. Huang Heyuan was a little excited, and spoke quickly, with a thick northwest accent, as the speed of speech accelerated, it became less easy to understand, "This is not what other people do, I have been doing it all the way all these years, along the way, maybe I feel regretful, and now I feel sad and severe." ”

"Which city is not like this now, after dividing the land and property, it is like dividing the family, dividing everything that can be divided, and it seems that the cleaner the division, the more like the market economy, and the more it can stimulate the role of the main body of the market." Liu Xiaojun took over the conversation slowly, and said with a faint smile: "The brothers split the family, it should be that everyone becomes a smaller family, and the family business is becoming more and more prosperous, but I have never seen that after the separation, it is not Baike competing and all industries are prosperous, but they are in a hurry to sell their property, sell the company and sell the house, and then sell the land, what else will they sell after they are all sold, how can the children and grandchildren live, have you ever thought about it?" ”

"Well said, it's worth a toast to this." Huang Heyuan was very happy to see Liu Xiaojun also come in, and he picked up the wine glass and greeted Liu Xiaojun, seeing that Liu Xiaojun and everyone else had raised the wine glass, he recklessly raised his head and poured the wine into his throat, and said with a sigh of wine: "Who said it wasn't?" When the company is sold out, there is not much to sell, so there is only land to sell. This is the most direct, and the income is also the fastest, a piece of land is worth one billion, how can an operation also earn 800 million, directly into the financial account. And there is no need to bother with residents to set aside a piece of suburban land to build a development zone, and who cares about what people develop. The result is that the stall is getting bigger and bigger, transportation, education, medical care, urban construction and living facilities, all kinds of problems have come, not to mention anything else, the underground water supply and drainage system of the city alone, it has become a big problem, sunny days are full of earth, rainy days are full of water, everywhere has become a place to see the sea, and the people are complaining. ”

"The problem is that the houses are built and sold to whom, and there are large-scale demolitions and constructions everywhere, and the scope of each city is two to three times larger than the original plan, and batches of buildings are rising from the ground and becoming a beautiful scenery in the city." Huang Heyuan continued self-deprecatingly: "But no matter how beautiful it looks, it's just a landscape, and no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a capital game between real estate developers and banks." The old houses are dilapidated and still swaying in the wind and rain, those who don't have a house still don't have a house, and those who can't afford it still can't afford it. As a relatively poor area in the northwest, the income level of urban residents has not improved substantially for a long time, and the housing dream is still just a dream, waiting for the government to improve and support. We are not like the developed areas in the east, which is an inflow area of migrant workers and migrants, and even if the house cannot be sold temporarily, there is always hope, but we are a net outflow area, except for a few central cities such as provincial capitals, there are really not many cities that can attract people, and the profits of real estate are not satisfactory, which makes the financial resources for selling land almost cut off. ”

When Huang Heyuan said this, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly, and said with emotion to everyone: "When we are cornered, we will inevitably think crankily, we will inevitably think of our sense of purpose and goals, the real purpose of our reform and opening up, and the ideas and directions of our construction and development, what are we doing, and what are we leaving to future generations?" What should future generations say about us? How should this history be written in the historical facts of our country and this nation? These can't help but make people think, and they can't help but make people sigh! ”

Huang Heyuan's actions, as well as his slightly heavy words, made the banquet hall immediately silent, and they didn't know whether to comfort Huang Heyuan or respond to his questions, so they all became silent
