Chapter 005 Coming to Liao'an's High Standards

For a while, there was a sense of loss in the Northeast. At the beginning of the new China, the Northeast as an old industrial base, known as the eldest son of the republic, the location is extremely important, and then the country gradually developed, especially after the reform and opening up, with the eastern, Lingnan, Qidong and other coastal developed areas as the center, radiating shè around, the east and south and other regions of the economy gradually became stronger, the old industrial areas in the Northeast are gradually showing weak succession, and the Northeast people feel that the country's support for the Northeast is getting smaller and smaller, and this dissatisfaction gradually penetrates into the system from the people......

The importance of the Northeast is self-evident, and the country has never given up or weakened the concept of the Northeast. Therefore, targeted measures are imperative.

The 16th National Congress of the People's Republic of China was held in 200. The report of the conference proposed to support the acceleration of the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases such as the northeast region, and support the development of continuous industries in cities and regions focusing on resource exploitation. This is the first time that the central government has clearly put forward a strategy for revitalizing old industrial bases such as northeast China. ** Making a strategic deployment to support the acceleration of the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases such as Northeast China is a strategic decision made by the central government from the overall perspective of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

From December 9 to 10, 2002, the then Central Economic Work Conference and the first executive meeting of the Government Council further clearly pointed out that it is necessary to support the old industrial base to accelerate the adjustment, transformation and revitalization as a prominent and important task.

From January 13 to 14, 2003, then a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and director of the State Planning Commission visited the workers in difficulty in the coal mine in Liao'an, and conducted research on the relocation of coal mining subsidence areas and other issues.

January 31, 2003, Chinese New Year's Eve. Wen Chengxi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and then Vice Premier of the Government Council, came to Aiyou Mine of Fuxin Mining Group in Liao'an to learn about the production and safety of the enterprise and greet the miners. He said: To build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, it is necessary to take the transformation and revitalization of the old industrial base as a strategic task.

In the political work report of the first session of the 10th National People's Congress, it was proposed to take effective measures to support the acceleration of the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases in the northeast region, and to support the development of continuous industries in cities and regions with resource exploitation as the mainstay.

The third executive meeting adopted the "Key Points of the Work of the Government Council in 2003", in which supporting the old industrial base to speed up the adjustment, transformation and revitalization is a prominent and important task.

On April 22, 2003, Xiao Chen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, deputy head of the leading group for the revitalization of old industrial bases in Northeast China, and deputy director of the Office for the Revitalization of Northeast China, led a research team on the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases in Northeast China, led by Xiao Chen, who visited Liao'an......

Wen Shizhong, Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, and Governor Hou Dongxiang met with Xiao Chen, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Deputy Head of the Leading Group for the Revitalization of Northeast and Other Old Industrial Bases of the Government Council, and Director of the Office for the Revitalization of Northeast China.

The chūn day of the Great Northeast seems to be coming.

On the speeding train, sitting opposite are two "old Northeasters" with a Northeast accent. The two are talking about the revitalization of the Northeast. One of them, who has retired and has worked in a large enterprise in Northeast China for decades, said again and again: "Okay! Good! Boy! It's really great! Back then, the heavy industry in the Northeast was one of the best in the country, who could compare with that guy at that time? I don't know why, but for a while, the land was full of laid-off workers! Cough......! It's awkward to look at it. I don't know what to do in the future, but my temper is growing day by day. It's good now, feng shui takes turns, thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, and it is the turn of revitalizing our great northeast, and the good days of the northeast are coming again! ”

"Yes, Premier Wen came here not long ago, and now the director of the Planning Commission (the old man is used to calling the Planning Commission) is here again, this Director Xiao I know wow, that's Xiao Lao's own grandson! What kind of character is Xiao Lao? Tell me, Xiao Lao is engaged in the economy, so who can compare? At that time, Chairman Máo said that the family is poor and thinks of a good wife, and Xiao Fei is a good hand in the economy! Xiao Lao's grandson, do you need to talk about the economy? ”

"That's, let's not talk about Lao Tzu's heroes now, but this Xiao ...... Xiao Chen, right? Well, that's a lot of brushes! Wu Cheng, you know, right? The year before last, the whole country learned Wucheng! At that time, this Xiao Chen was the secretary of the Wucheng City Party Committee! Do you know how good Wucheng's economy is now? 5th in the country! There are only four in the front: Dongfang, Beijing, Suixian, and Pengcheng! These four, what are they counting? Two municipalities, two sub-provincial wow! Wucheng, a prefecture-level city, just grabbed the fifth place! Think about it, Director Xiao's ability, do you still need to talk about it? ”

"Wu Cheng I know, in the old days, it was said 'heaven', but now it has become a golden sea. However, do you know that my son and little grandson love Wu Cheng to death, what team does Wu Cheng have, as long as there is a game, the pair of men in the family, it will be watched all night! ”

"That's, Wu Cheng is so wow......

"Then Director Xiao is now the director of our Northeast Office, and Mr. Xiao has also fought in our Northeast before, you say that Director Xiao should also give us strength in the Northeast, right?"

"That's, that's!"

Yes, the good days of the Northeast are indeed coming again!

The two old men reminisced about the past and sighed for a while. The Great Northeast, what kind of pride people used to be!

This is the "Land of Longxing" where the northern ethnic group Jinge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles more than 300 years ago; It is the "Great Kanto" where bankrupt farmers in Qidong and Yanbei left their hometowns more than 100 years ago and had the ambition to pan for gold; It was Manchuria (Manchuria is probably the richest place in Asia), the "paradise" in the minds of the declining Russian aristocracy, the defeated Cossack cavalry, and the exiled Jews. It was also coveted by Japanese militarism, and the Japanese devils even shouted that they would "rather give up their homeland than give up Manchuria." Here, the home of more than 100 million black, auspicious and Liao people, the world's Northeast Asia, is the place where the motherland welcomes the first rays of sunshine every day.

Twenty-five years ago, the Northeast economy accounted for 20% of the country's manufacturing industry, and the Northeast industry, especially the Liao'an industry, paid equal attention to the East, becoming the leader of China's industrial economy. Among them, the most powerful Daqing Oilfield, only one year's profits and taxes are equivalent to the profits and taxes of the entire Chinese tobacco industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that "if the oil workers shake it, the earth will shake three times". The old saying "buy a machine chuáng, go to Liaodu" also confirms the glory of the old industrial base in Northeast China.

A good man should mention the courage of the year. The former glory of the Great Northeast will not fail to make people move.

Now, another round of reform is flying, flying on both sides of the Baishan and Heishui rivers and the Liao River. The old industrial base in Northeast China has once again been pushed to the forefront of China's reform and development.

These two old people in the Northeast recalled the glory of the Northeast and said proudly: "Think about it, more than 10,000 workers in blue overalls poured in from several gates of our factory at 8 o'clock in the morning, what kind of scene was it!" ”

The Great Northeast has indeed had countless glories.

After 156 large-scale aid projects were launched, "big industry" with Anshan Iron and Steel, FAW, Shenfei and Dongzhong as the carriers of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Shenfei and Dongzhong Co., Ltd.

The people of Northeast China have created the prosperity of Northeast industry and the glory of Northeast agriculture, and they have contributed to the "Industrial Constitution" and also shaped the "Iron Man Spirit".

-- The first benchmark well was pumped out, and the hat of China's poor oil was taken off. Over the past 40 years, Daqing has paid a total of 406.1 billion yuan in taxes, borne 419 billion yuan in crude oil price difference, and earned 49.5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange through exports.

-- As a national commercial grain base, Northeast China's annual grain output of 60 billion kilograms makes it the world's granary.

-- As the "cradle of industry", Northeast China has basically built a comprehensive industrial system, including the layout of major industrial projects such as steel, chemical industry, heavy machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding, aircraft, and military industry, laying the initial foundation for China's industrialization.

——As a forestry base, 300,000 forestry workers carried people on their shoulders and shouted the labor horn that shook the world in the cold wind in the primeval forest of North China.

The three northeastern provinces are the heavy industry bases developed during the "First Five-Year Plan" and "Second Five-Year Plan" periods in China, and Liaodu, Hengchūn and Hacheng are all key cities in the national industrial layout.

In Liaodu, the state has placed 6 of the 156 key projects and 26 of the 694 projects above the designated size here, and has focused on the development of aviation, machine chuáng, pneumatic tools, wires and cables, heavy mining equipment and general machinery, power machinery and equipment and other machine manufacturing industries; By the early nineties of the last century, among the 165 industrial categories in China, Liaodu occupied 142, forming a strong and complete industrial system. From the fifties to 1978, before the reform and opening up, the Liaodu Industrial Base returned to the state about 30 times the profits paid by the state; It has created many miracles in the industrial history of the Republic, and has manufactured more than 100 firsts in the field of equipment manufacturing and development, such as the first jet aircraft in New China, the first precision screw car, the first large bucket wheel excavator, and the first giant transformer. It has also provided a large amount of equipment, technology, talents and funds for industrial construction throughout the country.

In Heng Chūn, the state has a number of large state-owned key enterprises such as 195 First Automobile Factory, Heng Chūn Bus Factory, Heng Chūn Locomotive Factory, Heng Chūn Tractor Factory, and Northeast Optical Instrument Factory. By the end of 1965, the city's industrial enterprises achieved a total industrial output value of 1.548 billion yuan, accounting for 1.1% of the country's total industrial output value.

In Hacheng, the "three major powers", including Hacheng Boiler Factory, Hacheng Steam Turbine Factory and Hacheng Motor Factory, are well-known at home and abroad; The Daqing Oilfield has made Huaxia shake off the hat of poor oil.

To this day, Northeast China still plays an important role in China's industrial system: crude oil production accounts for 2/5 of the country's output, heavy trucks account for 1/2, shipbuilding accounts for 1/3, commercial grain accounts for 1/3, automobiles account for 1/4, timber accounts for 1/2, and steel production accounts for 1/8......

However, since the 80s of the last century, in the process of changing China's economic system from a planned economy to a market economy, the Northeast has gradually lagged behind......

It's not what it used to be, and right now, the once-sought-after equipment is not in demand. With the reduction of tariffs, imported products have seized the domestic market in a big way, and the Liaodu machine Chuáng, which used to account for half of the domestic market and is known as the "mother machine" of Huaxia industry, was the first to "lie down", and a large number of products were backlogged. Most of the state-owned enterprises in Northeast China have also begun to experience huge losses......

Circumstances change with the passage of time. The Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta have become important poles of China's economy with the construction of the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, the development of Oriental Pudong and the rise of the Wucheng Singapore Industrial Park. Beijing and other regions have also become important areas of China's economy because of their innate political and regional advantages. Even the western region, which was seriously lagging behind in development in the past, has begun to sweep away the withered reality of the past because of the implementation of the large-scale development strategy. Only the Northeast, only the Northeast! After 1978, it seemed to have been a forgotten corner. Workers were laid off, factories were closed, the number of poor people increased, social security was not good, and foreign capital was not favored......

Finally, the ** report sounded the clarion call for the revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China. The new government began to solve the problem of uncoordinated economic development in China as a major task of the moment......

After the reform and opening up in 1978, due to the large proportion of heavy industry and the large proportion of state-owned enterprises, Northeast China soon fell behind in the rapid development of light industry (most of which can be understood as the tertiary industry) and non-state-owned economy in the country. Next, a large number of state-owned enterprises fell into trouble, and a large number of workers were laid off. By 1990, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Jilin were second, fourth, and fifth, and their economic efficiency was also in a backward position. This anomaly has attracted attention from all sides and is known as the 'Tohoku phenomenon'.

A large number of non-performing state-owned assets have been disposed of because they 'dare not, are unwilling, and do not want to', and they cannot be flowed, resulting in loss, which has become a 'popsicle phenomenon'; The government and enterprises are eager to ask for projects and loans, and the state invests a lot of money, but the project is 'falling before the saddle', becoming a burden, and it is difficult to extricate itself from the 'project circle'; ...... the of 'appropriation to loan', 'loan to investment', and 'debt-to-equity swap', the state has not given a lack of policies, and the cost of reform has been increasing, but it has achieved little results.

Xiao Chen knows that since the reform and opening up, the economy of Northeast China has been slower than the national average for more than 20 years. Among them, Heilongjiang's per capita worker income now ranks 25th in the country, more than 10 places behind the top 10 before 1978. In some cases, the per capita income of workers and peasants is not as good as that of Tibet and Xinjiang.

As for the problem of laid-off unemployment, the official figure is only more than 5 percent. But Xiao Chen knew very well in his heart that the actual situation was much more serious. This is also considered by the academic community to be the first 'Northeast phenomenon'.

At the end of 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization, and a large amount of imported grain occupied the Chinese mainland market. In the face of international competition for agricultural products, the 'new Northeast phenomenon' has emerged in Northeast China's agriculture: the market competitiveness of agricultural products has declined, and a large number of agricultural products such as rice and soybeans in Northeast China have been backlogged, and it has gradually lost its market share from the original marketing to the difficulty of getting out of Shanhaiguan. This is an important blow to Chinese mainland's agriculture after its accession to the WTO. This is known as the second 'Northeast phenomenon'.

What is serious is that the second 'Northeast Phenomenon' has not yet been completely eliminated from the first 'Northeast Phenomenon', which is like adding insult to injury and aggravating the economic difficulties of Northeast China.

The two 'Northeast phenomena' are indeed the epitome of the lagging economic development of Northeast China.

What's the sticking point? The 'eldest son of the republic' is in a trap like never before.

The time has come when the Northeast will not be able to survive without revitalization.

At this time, multi-channel research related to the economy of Northeast China has begun; At this time, Xiao Chen, who was called the "pioneer of reform" by some foreign media and even nicknamed the "little shopkeeper", was entrusted with the important task of revitalizing the Northeast.

The plan for the revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China is decided by the National Development and Reform Commission under the leadership of the three northeastern provinces, as well as the Ministry of Finance, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and other departments.

Xiao Chen, who is only thirty-one years old, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and the director of the Northeast Office, who is so young, can he pick up this burden that seems to be able to crush a giant?

100 million people in the Northeast are silently watching and looking forward to it.

During Premier Wen Chengxi's visit to Northeast China, he was accompanied by Liu Kai, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Jin Rending, Minister of Finance, Zheng Zhilin, Minister of Labor and Social Security, Wang Guang, Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council, Li Rong, Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Wei Qun, Director of the Policy Research Office of the State Council, and Liu Qingcheng, Chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission. This shows the central authorities' overall strategy and determination to carry out the large-scale development of northeast China. This time, Premier Wen Chengxi visited Anshan, Benxi, Fushun, Liaodu, and other old industrial cities to inspect large state-owned enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel Group and high-tech enterprises such as Neusoft Group.

Wen Chengxi went to the Northeast Coal Mine to investigate. He successively went to Daqing, Hacheng, Xianglin, Hengchūn and other places, inspected 11 large state-owned enterprises such as Daqing Petrochemical Company, and presided over a symposium on the revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China in Hengchūn. He pointed out that speeding up the readjustment and transformation of the old industrial bases in the northeast region, implementing east-west interaction, promoting the central region, and promoting the coordinated development of the regional economy are the major strategic arrangements made by the party Central Committee for China's modernization drive.

Xiao Chen knew that a considerable part of the research work being carried out now had to be submitted to the central government for decision-making reference.

At present, an entire economic revitalization plan involving the old industrial base in Northeast China is being drafted, and Xiao Chen is one of the important "writers". The content of this is quite comprehensive, and the outside world also speculates that this indicates that the central government may start the comprehensive development of the entire northeast economy on the grounds of "economic revitalization of the old industrial base".

Xiao Chen is now very close to the high-level decision-making center, and he knows that in fact, the central government's policy of revitalizing the economy of Northeast China has been around for a long time, but the new government has increased its efforts. At the same time, the central government is not simply talking about and activating the economy of the northeast, but may promote the economic development of the central region to a considerable extent.

The revitalization of Northeast China has embarked on an "ice-breaking journey" to transform Northeast China with market mechanisms.

People even called this "revitalization of the Northeast" campaign the third "Northeast phenomenon."

Hou Dongxiang, governor of Liao'an Province, said at the beginning of his tenure that it is completely logical for Northeast China to become the fourth economic delta after the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangtang Delta, and to become the fourth growth pole of China's economy.

A long-awaited change has once again pushed the Northeast to the front of the historical stage......

Looking at the chūn light outside the car window, looking at the excited looks of the two old men, perhaps, chūn was innocent.

……

The Chinese painting is majestic, fresh and vivid. A large number of reporters focused their cameras on Xiao Chen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, deputy head of the Leading Group for the Revitalization of Northeast and Other Old Industrial Bases of the Government Council, and director of the Office for the Revitalization of Northeast China of the Government Council, Wen Shizhong, secretary of the Liao'an Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, and Hou Dongxiang, deputy secretary of the Liao'an Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and governor of the Provincial People's Political Council, who was also meeting.

The secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor met with Xiao Chen at the same time, which is undoubtedly a super high standard for Xiao Chen, who "clarifies the deputy ministerial level and enjoys the treatment of the ministerial level". But in fact, Xiao Chen's two deputy positions are not the key, but the position of director of the Northeast Office of the Government Council is the key to his treatment.

After all, the leading group for the revitalization of old industrial bases such as Northeast China by the Government Council is headed by Premier Wen Chengxi himself; The director of the National Development and Reform Commission is Comrade Liu Kai.

Only the revitalization of the Northeast Office, Xiao Chen is the number one.

As the leader of an ad hoc unit that alone presides over the revitalization of Northeast China, it is not surprising that Xiao Chen has received great attention from the Liao'an Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. What's more, the Xiao and Hou families are in-laws, and the older generation has decades of comradeship, Hou Dongxiang put down his body to give Xiao Chen a scene, which reflects that the relationship between the Xiao and Hou families is still as close as ever, and he has earned a good reputation for the revitalization of Liao'an.

As for the secretary of the Wenshi Middle School, he is now under increasing pressure in Liao'an, and after decades of operation, he can't bear the authority of the central government, how can the central government tolerate him as a so-called prince without the support of the fathers of the republic? If he wants to retire in Liao'an, a feudal official, the best way is to make the central government feel that Liao'an can't do without his old text! Therefore, after the revitalization of the Northeast began to be put on the agenda, the scholars must maintain enough media exposure, maintain enough, and the ability to control Liao'an, and any uncontrolled situation can not appear, and at this time, the development speed of Liao'an can only rise, and it must not decline, or even "maintain stability".

Together, there is such a grand scene today.

"Director Xiao's coming here is really a long drought for us in Liao'an." Wen Shizhong said with a smile: "Director Xiao's theoretical level, I have been taught many times in the "Theoretical Dynamics" of our Central Party School, and in terms of work experience, Director Xiao also started step by step from the locality, so there is no need to talk about it. I have always wanted to ask Director Xiao how he views the difficult situation in Liao'an and even in Northeast China. Wen Shizhong asked Xiao Chen with a smile. At this time, it was a meeting, not a meeting, so Secretary Wen spoke casually.

Xiao Chen didn't expect that Wen Shi would ask so bluntly, and he was relieved when he thought about it, thinking that Secretary Wen had been a little tight in his recent days. I don't know if the position is stable or not, ** has begun to appear again, it is simply an internal and external trouble.

He smiled and was gentle: "In general, I think there are five main problems: first, the problem of people; the second is the problem of the enterprise; the third is the problem of resource-depleted areas; fourth, the financial environment and the investment environment; Fifth, the natural environment. ”

The scholar gave full play to the advantages of the secretary, smiled, but pointed sideways at Hou Dongxiang, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Well, Secretary Xiao is very ...... Our provincial governor also mentioned this matter to me, and he believes that at present, we have eight major bottlenecks in Liao'an. Hehe, Governor, can you tell Secretary Xiao? ”

Xiao Chen looked at Hou Dongxiang, Hou Dongxiang smiled cheerfully, nodded, disregarded Secretary Wen's secret hand, and said naturally: "Okay, I'll talk about my foolishness." ”

The magistrate is very polite in front of the Beijing officials, especially the Beijing officials in charge of this area, even though their status is actually higher. Hou Dong made a gesture of invitation when he saw Xiao Chen, and said: "The first bottleneck is the pain of the planning system. Someone said about the Northeast: 'Success also plans, defeat also plans.' 'The Northeast is directly related to the planned economy. In that era of foreign blockade and domestic industry waiting to be developed, this form of industrial organization won glory for the Northeast.

However, in the process of transitioning to a market economy, the strong plan and the derived ideological concepts and behavior paths have posed the most serious institutional obstacles to the Northeast. After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, the state-owned economy in Northeast China has entered the market in terms of products and prices. However, in terms of the factors of production such as property rights, capital, technology, and manpower, there are still strong characteristics of a planned economy. The single ownership structure and the lack of intrinsic vitality of the economy have caused the biggest obstacle to tackling tough problems in reform.

After some reflection, I believe that the biggest problem faced by enterprises in Northeast China is the unclear responsibility of property rights. Because a large number of Northeast enterprises have heavy historical burdens, such as the burden of debt and the burden of pensions. However, this burden is not the responsibility of property rights and is brought about by the traditional system. As a result of the failure to resolve the institutional contradictions, the economy of Northeast China is faced with practical difficulties and problems such as a low degree of marketization, insufficient development vitality, a single ownership structure, and a slow adjustment of the industrial structure, resulting in a series of superficial contradictions, such as the aging of enterprise equipment and technology, the heavy historical burden of enterprises running society, and the great pressure on social security and employment. ”

Hou Dongxiang is worthy of Hou Dongxiang, and the first knife is to talk about the system. But this is exactly what Xiao Chen's appetite is, and he is an official who is most concerned about institutional reform. In his opinion, the treatment of today's state-owned enterprises is to "develop things at the same time", and the east refers to the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, starting from the roots, raising the roots well, and naturally being able to live. However, this speed is a bit slow, so it is necessary to go west, to prescribe the right medicine, to give fierce medicine, and resolutely cut down the places that should be cut, and if you don't cut them, you can't live. But the political fǔ side can't cut off the branches and leaves and leave them alone, you don't care about these branches and leaves, it will wither, then this is the inaction of the political fǔ. These branches and leaves can be properly placed and disposed of, and some of them are manual workers, and the government can think of some methods, such as building roads and houses, can these people do it? Obviously, it can, at least better than staying at home and not being able to open the pot. Of course, this is just an example, not necessarily all of them have to do this, but just to say that the government must have such an attitude, and it can't make people feel that they have worked for you for so many years, and they will be dismissed with a sentence of layoff and buyout. It's so hurtful.

Xiao Chen nodded and agreed, and Hou Dongxiang continued: "The second bottleneck is the heavy historical burden of state-owned enterprises. The long-term investment in the adjustment and transformation of the old industrial base is insufficient, and the ability of self-accumulation and development is weak; The burden left over from history is very heavy, and the business is difficult; There is a lack of major construction projects, and the economic development is sluggish. Resource-depleted areas urgently need to realize economic transformation and develop continuous industries, which requires large input costs. There are many state-controlled industrial enterprises in Northeast China, among which there are many insolvent enterprises, and the situation of enterprise survival is very grim, affecting the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of workers.

At present, there are two major problems in the restructuring of enterprises in Northeast China - debt burden and social security of employees. The international rule is that debt follows property rights. But many state-owned enterprises in Northeast China are not burdened with debt, but with debt burdens. Because, the debt is proportional to the whole, but these companies have far exceeded. In this case, it should be admitted that these debt burdens are not debts, and they should not follow property rights in the restructuring of enterprises in the revitalization of Northeast China.

I believe that the debt burden has a direct impact on the future fate of Northeast enterprises. Without solving this problem, Northeast enterprises simply cannot move forward; If this problem is not solved, it is likely to discourage private capital that is willing to participate in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Northeast China. The current situation is that enterprises in the Northeast cannot afford these debt burdens at present, and they cannot let the banks bear them, but they cannot be suspended. I guess it's the state that will pay in the end. Therefore, I say that the weak competitiveness of enterprises, the constraints of the system, the loss of market momentum, and the lack of investment make it even more difficult for these state-owned enterprises to move forward. ”

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "For this point, in fact, I also have a deep understanding that I will truthfully report to Premier Wen, Premier Xiao, and Comrade Liu Kai on the debt burden of state-owned enterprises in Northeast China." ”

This problem is too big, and it not only involves institutional reform, but also may involve a large amount of capital investment, so Xiao Chen can only use "reporting" to deal with it, and he will definitely not decide on his own. As for how big the "big money" is, I'm afraid it is at least a gap of more than 50 billion, just think about it, you know that Xiao Chen personally does not have such a big authority.

Hou Dongxiang nodded, expressed his understanding and gratitude, and continued, but this time he was a little emotional: "The third bottleneck is the problem of people's concepts, or the impact of people's concepts on development. ”

Xiao Chen glanced at him, and Wen Shizhong also looked sideways at Hou Dongxiang, Hou Dongxiang seemed to recall something, and then said: "When I was not a governor before, I was not famous, many people didn't know me, I sneaked outside and asked people why our Northeast is not as good as the South?" Guess what people say? People say, 'Look at the southerners, who do you rely on?' It's not a penny to be earned! Especially the people of Wenzhou, Jiangnan who come to the Northeast to do small business, can endure any hardship! But can these old and young masters in our Northeast endure this kind of suffering? Not really! Some people are used to hún in the planning system, they are used to waiting, and they are lazy. I can't do big things, and I don't want to do small things. If you let him start a small business, he'd rather stay in front of his house and bask in the sun! ......' made a deep impression on me.

I have been in Liao'an for more than ten years, and the Northeast people I have learned have many advantages, such as optimism, straightforwardness, tenacity, helpfulness, etc., etc., but we are looking for problems today, so we will not talk about the advantages for the time being, let's talk about the shortcomings, the shortcomings of the Northeast people I understand, summed up as follows:

Some people say that people in Northeast China can't listen to other people's criticism, and they will be upset when they hear something that is not pleasing to their ears. When I hear people say that the Northeast is not good, I love to get angry and fight with others. Northeast people like to scold and wave on the street when they don't like a word. But I don't like to listen to criticism, and my sense of reflection is not strong. I won't say anything else, for example, the leaders of some places in the northeast are very annoyed by some critical reports in the south, and they have made a lot of angry remarks on many occasions. Whether it is the people and the government, they don't want anyone to come out and expose their shortcomings, such a mood is understandable, and this kind of love is also touching, but I want to say that this is not the same as being rational and wise. I am also one of the local leaders in the northeast, but I have to say this, because I am first and foremost a member of the ** and a party cadre.

Some people also say that the people of the Northeast think that horizontal is victory. People say that the people of the Northeast are 'very good at fighting, dare to use knives, dare to kill them.' I know that there are many people in the Northeast who look down on men in the south, think they are too gentle, lack masculinity, and joke that they only dare to quarrel and not fight. The industriousness and intelligence of the northeasterners to the southerners are actually admired in their hearts and disdainful on their faces; And the laziness and so-called 'martial arts' of the southerners towards the northeasterners are contempt from the bones. Because force does not solve substantive problems in a modern economic society. Only those who create wealth for the society are powerful and heroes of this era.

Northeast people like to say a saying, called 'I am not used to anyone', which means 'don't mess with me, I can fix anyone', men say this, women say the same. Some women in the Northeast are indeed more spicy, and they dare to scold anything. Northeast women have been instilled from an early age that they must be powerful outside, be top-notch, and not suffer losses. When they grow up, they pass on this concept to their children. Generations of Northeast people have a little bit of domineering, a little bit of perverseness, and a little bit of prestige that they want to 'destroy anyone' at every turn.

Some people say that the Northeast does not dare to take the first step, and some people say that the people of the Northeast cannot endure hardship. But I'll say it's not. It is not too difficult for Northeast people to break into the world, but the difficult thing is not to dare to take the first step. There is no special reason for the people of the Northeast not to leave the rich black land easily. The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own straw nests, and the life of two cows and wives and children on one acre of land is very moist, not to mention the good living environment of 'wild jī flying into the rice pot', so that those who are 'dead bī helpless to break into the Kanto' have an innate dependence on nature.

Some people say that people in the Northeast are too serious to accept death, and they can't swallow their breath for fear of being wronged. They can bear a disappointment, a grievance, and so many sins for a long time to seek that little bit of justice, but they can't and dare not let go of their self-esteem, go to another country to pan for gold, and create a destiny for themselves.

Some comrades from the south who came to work in our Northeast told me that the people in the Northeast are fierce and self-respecting on the surface, but in fact they are timid and inferior. The surface embodiment of the cultural concept of Northeast people is toughness, gangsterism, and self-esteem, and the deep-rooted is duty, timidity, and inferiority. I felt very uncomfortable after listening to it, because I have worked in the Northeast for more than ten years, and I have long regarded myself as a Northeasterner. But I don't know how to refute this, because I know in my heart that it is probably true. I think it's sad.

Some people even say that Northeast people love to talk about righteousness, but normal interpersonal relationships are replaced by vague righteousness. Northeast people will call friends to teach their opponents a lesson at every turn, and those who come will help start the fight without asking about 3721, as for what the consequences will be, whether they can bear it is another matter. What kind of righteousness is this! Those who speak of righteousness do not want to speak for themselves. However, when it is time to emphasize righteousness and think about others, the people of the Northeast are not righteous. Some people say that they can't cooperate with Northeast people, they only calculate their own accounts when they do business, and they earn their own money, and they are not reconciled, and they have to take away the other party's money and all the principal and interest. Normal interpersonal relationships become a vague sense of righteousness, and the legitimate rules of the game are replaced by sensuality. Obviously, it is a problem that can be solved through normal channels, but in the Northeast you have to find someone and a relationship, and if you don't look for it, you will have no bottom in your heart, although the person you are looking for may not be able to help anything, but you must find it. As a result of this ethos, it has led directly to the worship of power. The worship of power by Northeast people is unimaginable, no matter how arrogant and domineering people are, they are unusually obedient in the face of power. I've always felt that this is the biggest problem, what is the root of this problem? It's not that there is no system, but that the system is not really effective!

In addition, it is said that the laziness of the òu body leads to mental deformity. In the south, there are migrant workers everywhere who work hard, the last time I went to Wucheng, there are a lot of migrant workers in Wucheng, I learned about it, there are a lot of people in northern Jiangsu, they work very hard, and they don't feel that they lose face by working hard! I think this idea is right, we used to say that there is no distinction between high and low labor! In the northeast, however, people prefer to dress brightly and deliberately show dignity rather than choose 'lowly' work; many young people would rather wander the rivers and lakes, 'show the scene' for others, and fight with their blood and lives in order to become rich and prosperous for a while, rather than work their duty and rely on hard work to eat. There are also people who say that the poorer the Northeast people, the better the face, no matter how big the matter, as long as you are polite and the words are there, he can let it go, don't worry about you, talk about a boldness, but if you let him lose face in front of others, it is your life-and-death hatred, what is this called!

So let's take a look at it, I think there are two things about the revitalization of the Northeast that make people think: one is how to be honest. In particular, some politicians don't pay attention to the rules, so who dares to believe it? The second is how to reflect. If the development of Lingnan and Liangjiang (the two rivers in this book refer to Jiangdong and Jiangnan) is the impact of the planned economy is small, and the Northeast cannot be compared, then what about the East, the East can also be called the old industrial base, look at the Oriental people, they say that they should stand one step higher, look farther, think one step deeper, they do things are to adhere to the combination of forward-looking, creative and flexible, they fully absorb the advantages of the two means of planning and market regulation, and set an example for the people of Northeast China. If even the people of the Northeast are unwilling to reflect on this point, I think that even if the central government gives more policies and funds, the Northeast may not be able to support it, because after all, everything depends on people to implement. The people of Northeast China must first face up to themselves and change themselves, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts of the central government to revitalize the Northeast. You can't avoid problems, and the result of covering up yourself can only harm yourself. After all, the revitalization of the Northeast depends on the Northeast people themselves. ”

Xiao Chen heard this, "pop papa" applauded, if last time after watching Beizhu, he was just kind to Uncle Hou's concept of "running the city", then today after listening to his self-analysis of the general analysis, I really felt a burst of respect.

People are not afraid of making mistakes, they are afraid of being wrong and are not allowed to be said by others, and they are afraid of being wrong and are unwilling to reflect and correct. Especially the higher the status, the harder it is for others to point out their mistakes, and the harder it is to self-reflect.

But Hou Dong could, and he did not shy away from saying these words.

Xiao Chen nodded vigorously, he felt that if he could fully cooperate with Uncle Hou, the revitalization of the Northeast - in fact, it could only be regarded as the revitalization of Liao'an for the time being - was very promising.
