"It's simple, the entity is hollowed out." Gu Zhanyan said lightly, "I don't know anything else, for the purpose of capital profit-seeking, land cost and labor cost alone are enough for Xiangjiang to develop so many mature light manufacturing manufacturers." Rents of commercial real estate in Heung Kong have risen year after year, squeezing manufacturers' profits. ”

"Continue?" Lucifer said quietly.

"In addition, there is no heavy industry base in Hong Kong, you can look at the white paper on the direction and outlook of the Hong Kong British government's economic development policy, which is to directly cross the stage of heavy chemical industry and directly develop to the service industries represented by finance, real estate, trade and culture, tourism, education, etc. The service industry itself has no production capacity, it is impossible to create wealth, the service industry is divided into life services and producer services, such as education, medical care, culture, etc., are life services, the growth of this kind of service industry depends on the growth of residents' income, and the growth of residents' income depends on the growth of producer services. The manufacturing industry is most closely related to the producer service industry, and it is the development of the division of labor and output growth in the manufacturing industry, as well as the extension of the industrial chain to the after-sales stage, that has triggered the growing demand for finance, trade and logistics. Gu Zhanyan smiled slightly, "What's the matter, what I said is right." ”

Gu Zhanshuo smiled and said, "Out of Xiangjiang, I know how big the world is, and I have a deeper understanding." There is no shortage of urban economies in the world such as New York and London with a similar proportion of service industries to Hong Kong, and they can maintain a lasting advantage in long-term development, which is why one of the biggest differences between the service industry and the manufacturing industry is that it requires far more face-to-face contact between people than the manufacturing industry. Financial centers such as New York and London are at the center of the country's manufacturing industry, and there is 'zero distance' between them and the country's real economy. And Xiangjiang? Hehe......"

Lucifer patted Gu Zhanyan on the shoulder and said, "That's right! Then he joked, "Boy, is it very set?" ”

"Look at what you said about Xiangjiang is not so bad! It also has a natural excellent harbor, a large commercial port. Lu Jiangdan defended.

"Hehe......" He Zheng's mouth slanted upwards with an arc, and said with a smile, "Xiangjiang does not have the geographical conditions to become a commercial port. There are many conditions for the formation of a large commercial port. By definition, it must be a good harbor, and the so-called excellent harbor is the depth of the harbor, which is a very superficial truth that everyone knows. But it's not enough to just widen the water and the water is deep. Hawaii is also a wide port with deep waters, can it become a commercial port? Of course not. For a good seaport to become a commercial port, it must have one condition, that is, to have a vast hinterland. The hinterland is a vast land. There is a large number of high-quality people with huge production. In fact, the focus is on the five words of huge production. The vast land and the large number of high-quality people are only the guarantee of huge production.

The only function of a commercial port is logistics. If a seaport does not have a huge production as a hinterland, there is nothing to flow, then what to do with this port? ”

"Hinterland?"

"For example, Fuzhou and Xiamen cannot become commercial ports. Because neither port has a vast hinterland. Fujian is mountainous, the population is not large enough, the productivity is not large enough, the Minjiang River basin is too small and barren, and Fuzhou at the mouth of the Minjiang River has nothing to flow. Xiamen is an isolated island. The conditions are even worse. This is why Fujian people often go overseas to develop, because the natural conditions in their hometown are not good, but it is convenient to go to sea. No matter how good the ports of Fuzhou and Xiamen are, they cannot become commercial ports. Lucifer said unhurriedly.

"On the contrary. The natural conditions of Shanghai are not a good seaport, because the water is too shallow, and the large steamers that went to Shanghai before the liberation are all stopped in the middle of the river, and the passengers and freight are brought to the shore by small barges. However, Shanghai has a vast hinterland, fertile plains in the entire Yangtze River Basin, a large number of high-quality population, Jiaotong University and Fudan and other first-class universities, and a huge production, agricultural products, agricultural processed products, and various light and heavy industrial products, which constitute sufficient conditions for logistics. The important thing is that modern engineering technology is developed, artificial ports are not a problem, and excavation is fine. If there are no conditions, you have to create conditions. Gu Yaluo winked at He Zheng and smiled, the last sentence is familiar!

"You're right, rivers determine the hinterland of a port. The hinterland of Shanghai is the Yangtze River basin, the richest place in China. Shanghai, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is destined to be China's largest commercial port, and this position cannot be shaken. He Zheng asked rhetorically, "So, what about the south?" ”

The five of them said in unison, "Pearl River! ”

The Pearl River is the largest river in southern China, and although it is not as rich as the Yangtze River, it is also very rich.

"The mouth of the Pearl River is in Yangcheng, which determines that the commercial port in the Pearl River basin is Yangcheng." He Zheng snapped his fingers and said, "Yangcheng, for more than 2,000 years, Yangcheng has been the center of China's trade with Nanyang countries, and its prosperity is far greater than that of Singapore, when Shanghai was just a small fishing village. After the Industrial Revolution in Europe, Yangcheng was the first place where Westerners and Western civilizations entered China. Historically, Yangcheng has been the leading player in China in international trade until the 19th century, when it was replaced by Shanghai. ”

Gu Yaluo hung up the bait and threw out the fishing rod, "If you want to analyze Yangcheng, you can't just look at Yangcheng, you must look at the entire Pearl River Delta." Yangcheng is the best outlet to the sea in South China, so just like Shanghai has East China, Yangcheng has the vast South China as its hinterland. We need to know that it is closer and faster to get from Wuhan to Yangcheng than to Shanghai. As long as the speed of highways and railways in South China is accelerated, the development of Yangcheng is unlimited. In particular, the Pearl River Delta is a very rich place, and it is rich in culture, not only rich in agricultural products, but also developed in industry, and has a very good institution of higher learning.

And there is a complete manufacturing base, productivity determines everything. The smart and hard-working people of Yangcheng can fully develop the Pearl River Delta into a huge industrial production base. Therefore, the necessary and most important conditions for a large commercial port are met, and everything else is secondary, and there is no need to worry about it at all, and there is no port within a radius of 500 kilometers that can replace Yangcheng. ”

Lucifer looked at He Zheng and said, "Have you ever thought about solving the problem like this?" His fingers gestured to the gun, "This is a complete solution." ”

"You...... How dare you think about it? He Zheng was surprised, and then said cautiously, "Ten years of turmoil have disrupted the pace of China's development, and the economic and political losses are very huge, especially the latter. The problem of money may be earned back later, and the political opportunity will not be missed. ”

"Honestly, two years ago was the best time. Britain would have surrendered immediately, and the United States would have withdrawn from Vietnam in a hurry, and would not dare to intervene in it. Gu Yaluo calmly analyzed.

Then he sighed and said, "People in the world today are paralyzed by the slogans of democracy and peace, but on closer inspection, the United States, which claims to be democratic and shouts for peace, is the country that uses the most troops. So peace is nothing but a slogan, the hegemony and global interests of the United States are achieved through war, and the real failure of the United States is not the use of troops, but the improper use of troops. The Vietnam War is a clear example. Modern warfare is very costly, and the use of force must be measured from an economic point of view, not by ********. In other words, don't lose money. It is very stupid for the United States to take over the colonial mess left by France under the ******** of ****, because Vietnam does not have the resources that the United States needs. Even if the United States won the Vietnam War, it would not do the United States any good. ”

"Hey! It's not right for you to say this here! Gu Zhanshuo said worriedly, "War? ”

"Just talking!" Gu Yaluo said indifferently, she is not powerful, and she does not have so much energy to influence other people's thoughts.

The second Gulf War was also an example of the improper use of troops by the United States, and President George H.W. Bush used troops in Iraq not only with the authorization of the United Nations, the support of multinational coalition forces, but most importantly, the sharing of war costs among other countries. As a matter of fact, after President Bush Sr. fought the 'Desert Storm,' he made a small profit after calculating the military spending contributed by various countries. The second time President George W. Bush used troops in Iraq to do nothing, and did not think about the exit mechanism in advance, he finally plunged himself into the bottomless pit of the war economy.

The tremendous failures suffered by the United States in these two uses of force have given rise to the illusion that peace prevails over everything else, but in fact the United States has misused force. The United States lacked economic considerations before the war, the US military lacked the will to fight when fighting, and the US government lacked an exit mechanism to save face when it encountered military difficulties. These are all operational issues of the US authorities, not the use of force itself.

When the use of force is economically more cost-effective than the price of peace negotiations, the use of force is worthwhile and should be given priority.

Pity...... If it can only be if, history has no if...... What was Shenzhou doing two years ago? Hehe......

It is very unwise for the mainland to negotiate peace with Britain to take back Hong Kong. On the surface, the peaceful return of Xiangjiang did not cost a single soldier, a single shot, and a single bullet; As a matter of fact, China has not only allowed Britain to make an extra 20 years of money, but the Xiangjiang issue has become a big tail, and there are endless troubles in the future, and China has suffered too much.

The problems that can arise have already been said, and the rest depends on how God arranges it.

"I've got a good night." Gu Zhanyan picked up another fish that Gu Yaluo caught.

"When will we be able to live the standard of living in the United States?" He Zheng suddenly sighed with emotion, met the eyes of several of them, and said, "What I said is the living standard of the middle class. ”

"Hard?" Gu Yaluo said calmly.

"Why? Can't we just bury our heads in the hard work? He Zheng suddenly said unhappily.

"You can calculate for yourself that if every Chinese lived like today's Americans, then China needed a half-earth of resources. Is this possible? Lucifer said calmly.

"It's terrifying!" Gu Zhanshuo smacked his tongue and said. (To be continued.) )
