From Zhu Jinwen's enthusiasm, Harorley read a long-lost sincerity, which he felt for the first time in this exhibition hall.

Previously, he had walked through so many booths, and the sales reps in each booth had a professional smile at him, but the smile was cold, even a little contemptuous. When he was a student in France, Harory often received this kind of contempt from the eyes of his white classmates, and he was used to it. Now suddenly receiving a sincere and friendly gesture from a yellow man, Harory almost felt overwhelmed.

"Minister Hallorey, can you tell me about your needs?" Zhu Jinwen asked Haroret and his entourage to sit down in the exhibition area, and then said to them gently.

Schumann, who came with Lin Zhenhua, served tea to Hallore's party with his hands and feet, and then sat sideways, waiting for them to do the necessary translation and follow-up service work at any time. Zhu Jinwen's English is good, and normal communication does not need a translator, but if some complex vocabulary is involved, a professional like Schumann is still needed to help.

This time, the Machinery Committee organized the national enterprises to participate in the exhibition, and there is no strict limit on the number of exhibitors sent by the enterprises, as long as the enterprises can afford the relevant expenses, then it does not matter how many people are sent. Other companies lack foreign exchange, and there are some doubts about the effect of the exhibition, so they generally only send one or two people to participate.

Lin Zhenhua was rich and wealthy, and brought four people in one go, in addition to Schumann, there were Wei Jingwen, Wei Dongqi and Ma Jie. The latter three are all technicians, and Lin Zhenhua brought them to participate in the equipment exhibition to open their eyes at the equipment exhibition, and at the same time to see if there is any high-tech equipment worth purchasing.

Halloret thanked Schumann, and then said to Zhu Jinwen: "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry, I have to talk about our financial situation first. We in the Uzan Republic are a poor country, and the funds that we can spend on equipment procurement are very tight. I'm here because I saw your advertisements. I'm curious to see if what you're saying about building an industrial system with $10 million is true. ”

Zhu Jinwen looked at Lin Zhenhua, then sighed and said, "Mr. Harorley, you also know that the concept of industrial system is very broad. If you want to include cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace and microelectronics, then not to mention $10 million, even $100 billion is completely insufficient. Our solutions are designed to help an underdeveloped country or region build an industrial system that meets basic production needs. In that sense, $10 million is quite achievable. ”

The reason why Zhu Jinwen sighed was that he felt that Lin Zhenhua had blown the cowhide too big, and now he was fooling people, and he didn't know how to end it.

Harory didn't mind, he knew in his heart that $10 million was impossible to build a big project. He followed Zhu Jinwen's words and asked, "Mr. Zhu, can you tell me in detail what industrial projects are included in the industrial system you are talking about?" ”

Zhu Jinwen nodded: "It's totally okay." The industrial system we call is called the five small local industries, in the language of our Chinese economic sector, namely small coal mines, small steel plants, small machinery factories, small fertilizer factories and small cement factories. With these five small-scale industrial projects, it is basically possible to meet the basic production needs of an area of one million people. In addition, we can also help you build small power plants, small textile factories, small printing factories, and small food factories, which are mainly to meet the needs of life. ”

Hallorey silently recited the names of these projects mentioned by Zhu Jinwen, imagining the products that a region needs to operate normally. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhu, I think these projects you mentioned are indeed what a region needs the most. If you have these enterprises, then most of the regular production can be satisfied. However, you have been using the concept of a small industry, and I want to know, what is the scale of the small, and can we build such a small factory to meet the normal demand? ”

Zhu Jinwen smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Hallore, I remember that you just introduced yourself and said that you are the Minister of Industry of the Northern Province of the Republic of Uzsan, may I ask, how many people are in your Northern Province?" ”

"800,000 people." Harory replied.

"Alright, let's do the math." Zhu Jinwen said, "According to the agricultural situation in China, a resident has about 1 to 2 acres of arable land. Your 800,000 people need to cultivate about 1.2 million acres of arable land. Under the current conditions of agricultural production, about 10 kilograms of chemical fertilizer are used for one acre of arable land. In this way, 1.2 million acres of arable land need about 12 million kilograms of fertilizer, that is, 12,000 tons. The small fertilizer plant equipment we provide is designed to produce 10,000 tons, which is just enough to ensure all the fertilizer needs of your agricultural production. ”

A look of surprise appeared on Hallore's face: "Mr. Zhu, when I hear you say this, I completely understand. Your calculations are completely correct, for our northern province, it is enough to have a fertilizer plant with an annual output of 10,000 tons, and we do not need to know about 100,000 tons of equipment at all. ”

Zhu Jinwen continued: "Let's look at the machinery factory again. As a predominantly agricultural province with a population of 800,000, you don't need to build a heavy industrial system, so the main task of the machine shop is to produce small equipment for agricultural services, as well as to meet the needs of some regular machinery maintenance. Agricultural equipment is simply nothing more than three engines and one pump, that is, diesel engines, small tractors, electric motors and water pumps. The small machinery factory equipment we provide for you can just meet your needs for the production of these products. The production of these products does not require high-precision machine tools, and it is enough to use general general machine tools and a small number of special fixtures and molds. ”

As Zhu Jinwen spoke, he wrote a list of equipment for Hallorey on paper, including several lathes, several milling machines, which equipment undertakes which processing task, etc., and even how much power the power distribution equipment in the machinery factory should have, how much area the workshop needs, etc., and there is almost no stumbling from beginning to end.

Hallore was drunk and fascinated when he heard it, and admired Zhu Jinwen so much. As a minister of industry who studied science and engineering, Harorey was able to understand everything Zhu Jinwen said, and knew that what he said was completely correct. But Mr. Harorey could not figure out why the Chinese official was so well versed in the configuration of such a small factory.

In fact, it was not only Harore, Lin Zhenhua was also completely frightened by him when he first contacted Zhu Jinwen. Lin Zhenhua went to the Machinery Industry Committee to sell the concept of the solution, and was praised by Zhu Jinwen. But when it comes to how to do industrial solutions in a small country or a small region, Lin Zhenhua is blind, and he has no common sense in this regard.

At this time, Zhu Jinwen easily showed Lin Zhenhua a list and told him that a small area with a population of one million needs these industrial projects, referred to as the local five elementary schools.

Lin Zhenhua knows a little about the concept of local five elementary schools. In 1970, when the state formulated the Fourth Five-Year Plan, the state put forward a plan, and the specific content was that the central government allocated a special fund of 8 billion yuan to support the development of five types of industrial projects, including small coal mines, small iron and steel plants, small fertilizer plants, small cement factories, and small machinery factories.

The five local small industries were eventually implemented in the counties, and almost every county in the country established the above five projects, thus forming an industrial system with relative reading power, which can independently solve the most basic needs of industrial and agricultural production. The achievement of the construction of the five local small industries lies in the fact that it has promoted the industrialization process of the whole country and cultivated a large number of small industrial enterprises, some of which have become the seeds of China's industrial development in the future.

The problem in the construction of the five small industries in the local area is also very big. Due to the small size of a county, most of the five small industrial projects do not meet the requirements of economies of scale, and the problem of low-level redundant construction has emerged.

After reform and opening up, the state began to gradually readjust the policy of the five small local enterprises, closed down and transferred a large number of small enterprises whose scale did not meet the requirements of economic production, and replaced the functions of these small enterprises with a number of large enterprises.

In order to meet the needs of the development of the five small local industries, the state has also formed a special equipment production system to provide supporting facilities for the five small industries, such as the Hanhua Machinery Factory is one of them. In the past few years, the main business of Hanhua Machinery Factory was to produce this 10,000-ton small fertilizer equipment, and in recent years, this equipment has no demand in China.

There are many industrial enterprises similar to Hanhua Machinery Factory, and their main products are the equipment used by such small enterprises, and with the end of the construction of five small industries, these equipment can no longer find a market in China.

Lin Zhenhua recommended industrial solutions for developing countries to Zhu Jinwen, which gave Zhu Jinwen a great inspiration. Although there is no market for small equipment in China, there are still people abroad who need it. In some small African countries, the population of the whole country is only equivalent to that of a county in China, and a set of five small equipment is enough for them to achieve initial industrialization. When it comes to supporting such small equipment, developed countries in Europe and the United States really can't compare with China. You must know that China's machinery industry sector has engaged in thousands of sets of such small equipment.

Zhu Jinwen was once sent to Inner Mongolia to herd horses, and later when he engaged in the "combination of the old, the middle-aged and the young", as a young and middle-aged cadre who understands technology, he was integrated into the Inner Mongolia Economic Commission, specifically responsible for the construction of five small industries. It can be said that from the project evaluation to the placement of each machine tool, Zhu Jinwen has done it dozens of times. Now to pass on this mature experience to his African brothers, for Zhu Jinwen, it is really a familiar thing.

"Mr. Zhu, you don't need to go into details, I believe in your insight very much. Well, now please give us a plan for the Northern Province and see what industrial projects we need to build and how much it will cost. I believe that the plan you have proposed to us will be very suitable for us. Hallore said sincerely.
