Chapter 1059: The Three Northeast Provinces Are Divided
Of course, the opening of a factory in Iraq this time is not a free aid, but an investment based on the principle of fairness, in order to make profits. These factories will make use of the markets and raw materials of Iraq and other countries, and use Chinese technology and talents and equipment for product production, so as to earn more profits than at home.
Now both Iraq and Iran are in ruins, their citizens need a lot of civilian goods to get by, and they have oil as the world's common hard currency to pay, and China is not afraid of them defaulting on their debts.
While discussing with Uday, Guo Zhuocheng quickly thought about the feasible surname of the plan, and how to persuade the supreme chief and others to support him:
If a large part of the workers in the old industrial base of the three northeastern provinces are diverted out, it will not only be of great benefit to these workers themselves, but will also be beneficial to the prosperity of the economy of the three northeastern provinces and the improvement of the livelihood of the common people in the three northeastern provinces. Anyway, there are many factories and enterprises, more old equipment, and more skilled workers in the three northeastern provinces, as long as a group of people who have been trained by the Iraqi enterprises find a group of people who can manage to lead them, these factories can be built and operated, and profits will roll in.
Uday naturally didn't know that Guo Zhuocheng was calculating him, or he was sincerely talking about his needs. It wasn't until Guo Shucheng finally relented that he would persuade the leaders above to meet his requirements and say that he would move the company to set up a factory in Iraq, and then Wudai showed a satisfied smile.
At the same time, Guo also made it clear that China will not provide free support, and the companies it sends are trying to make money.
Uday was not the least surprised or uncomfortable. He believes that it is natural for enterprises to invest and make money, and he does not regard his country as Albania that only reaches out to help, let alone China as the wronged leader. Since he dealt with China, China has never given Iraq anything in vain, and many times he has asked for high prices and black hearts, and he has long been prepared to be slaughtered by the Chinese.
As the president of a country, he needs money, but even more so an international environment that is not controlled by the great powers, and only this mutual benefit can maintain his reading power. After all, Iraq has its own oil fields, and there is abundant oil underneath, and he does not need "gratuitous" assistance from others at all, and he is even willing to pay more oil for the sake of his own surname.
Not only the economically minded Uday, but also the economists with economic savvy all have the same idea: as long as there is no war in Iraq, as long as Iraq is peaceful in the country, they can become rich by selling oil, and they can become one of the richest countries in the world with the highest per capita income.
The two ended the conversation after each achieved their goal, and when they parted that night, Uday politely gave Guo a set of weapons made of gold: a gold pistol, a gold submachine gun, and even the bullet casings and warheads were made of gold.
"Grass, if this bullet misses the target, it will be a loss." Guo Zhuocheng looked at the excessively delicate gifts in front of him, and he sighed in his heart. Then, he laughed, "If you really want to be killed by the golden bullet, this unlucky guy should be glad when he becomes a ghost, because he is much more noble than the others who were killed by the golden bullet, hehe." ”
Thinking of Uday and Saddam Hussein, who died tragically in his previous life, Guo Shucheng thought evilly: "Their father and son should really shoot each other with their own golden guns, so that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”
Thinking that others regarded him as a friend, Guo Zhuocheng, who had a bad taste, hurriedly gathered his thoughts and said thank you to Wudai.
Accepting this kind of gift, Guo Zhuocheng can really only say thank you, because he knows that this kind of gift cannot be owned by himself at all, and must be handed over to the state. At most, I can touch it now and take a look, and I'm just having a good time.
For this kind of flashy thing, Guo Zhuocheng is not interested, and he has nothing to give up.
Now he has far more money at his disposal than the money at the disposal of President Uday. Rich is not just an adjective to boast of the rich, but a real definition of the super-rich. At present, Guo Zhuocheng's worth definitely exceeds Iraq's gross national product, and the liquidity he can mobilize is dozens of times that of Iraq's state treasury. This is not to say that Guo's money is astronomical, but because Iraq's treasury is now almost impoverished.
If he really wanted to make weapons out of gold, he could have equipped a fully armed company with his economic strength, even the shells of grenades, spikes, and buttons could be made of gold.
…… In the evening, Guo Zhuocheng hosted a banquet for Uday as the host, and Uday's men were entertained by the Ministry of National Defense.
After dinner, Guo Zhuocheng said goodbye to Uday and immediately went to Ouchi to ask to meet with Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu.
Yu Gangqiu, who had been guarding the office, immediately invited him in.
The two sat together and talked for a long time, and Guo Zhuocheng talked about his idea of mobilizing workers and old equipment from the northeast to set up factories in Iraq, analyzed the pros and cons, and told Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu about the problems that China's state-owned enterprises will face in the coming years.
Guo Zhuocheng said that he saw the situation in his previous life, but now he can't come up with too many reasons to infer the emergence of this phenomenon, after all, this is not a mathematical problem, and it is not possible to deduce conclusions with known conditions, he can only think about the current problems as much as possible to explain.
What made Guo Zhuocheng grateful and frightened was that Yu Gangqiu did not let Guo Zhuocheng explain and explain too much, but immediately recognized Guo Zhuocheng's conclusion, that is, state-owned enterprises will encounter bottlenecks and problems in the next few years, and if measures are not taken, the consequences will be very severe.
As vice premier in charge of the economy and concurrently chairman of the State Development Planning Commission, Yu Gangqiu is well aware of the country's economic situation, especially the current situation of state-owned enterprises, and knows better than Guo Zhuocheng about their internal shortcomings and difficulties.
Now Guo Zhuocheng has shown him a way, which naturally makes him happy.
When Guo Gangcheng still thought that Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu accepted his conclusion based on his belief that Guo Zhuocheng was a demon in his heart, Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu had already affirmed Guo Gangcheng's whimsy:
Fully supporting Guo Zhuocheng's idea of large-scale diversion of skilled workers from the three northeastern provinces to Iraq and other countries, Yu Gangqiu believes that even if the workers in Iraq and other places can only support themselves and cannot generate more foreign exchange for the country, it is still a contribution to the country.
At the same time, if these displaced workers have an income, they can also prosper the economy of the three northeastern provinces, and the gap with the border areas of the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia can be widened faster and more obviously, so that the border people of the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia will be more envious of China, and the ordinary people of Outer Mongolia will increase their centripetal force and be more likely to accept the return in their hearts.
It's definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Yu Gangqiu said happily: "Xiao Guo, the idea you think of is really a good way, which not only helps Iraq and meets their needs, but also solves our own problems and helps the people increase their income." ......, you continue to accompany President Uday and find out what their needs are, so that we can work on the surnames and let them accept more workers. ......, I'll report to the old commissar later. After he agreed, I asked someone from the Planning Commission to take charge of this matter. ......, rest assured, these comrades will not let you down. ”
Guo Zhuocheng said with a smile: "Of course I can rest assured, there are skilled workers and ready-made equipment in the northeast, and we have trained a lot of managerial talents in Iraq, and Iraq has an unlimited market, if you don't make money, then there will be ghosts." ”
Yu Gangqiu also smiled: "Hehe, boy, do you mean that if we don't succeed, then we people are useless wine bags and rice bags?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't say that, you said it yourself." Guo replied playfully.
…… The next day, Guo Zhuocheng served as a free tour guide for two days, and after Uday said goodbye to the Chinese leader, he took his group to Qionghai Island at Uday's request.
When Uday left, he left a few officials in the capital to discuss with the Chinese side about the procurement of weapons, especially the purchase of armored personnel carriers, main battle tanks, anti-tank missiles, YJ-801 anti-ship missiles, and medium- and long-range anti-aircraft missiles.
Uday himself took a few people around him to travel around Qionghai Island and enjoy the forests and waterfalls. Uday was full of praise for the beautiful environment of Qionghai Island, and decided to build a large hotel in Haika City, Qionghai Island.
Of course, Guo Zhuocheng would not refuse, although he was slandered in his heart about whether this arbitrary guy had so much money, he still arranged for the people of the investment promotion office to take out a special person to contact the Minister of Commerce on the Uday side, and strive for the early start of the big project of the hotel.
In fact, Uday's move was not a blind impulse, the reason why he gritted his teeth and invested hundreds of millions of dollars here was to show goodwill to China and increase the number of high-end weapons that he could buy from China. At the same time, he also thanked Guo Zhuocheng for his previous help and helped him make political achievements.
Second, in order to realize what Uday thinks, you have me, I have you, Iraq needs China to invest in building factories, and needs Chinese skilled workers to help them produce civilian products, and in the same way, Iraq can also help China develop, and we don't need unilateral pleas and charity.
The third is that Uday wants to build a base or palace here, and come over for leisure whenever he has time, on the one hand, he can enjoy the unique natural environment here, and on the other hand, he can communicate with his idol Guo Zhuocheng, and get more ideas from him.
It has to be said that people can think differently as soon as they sit in the corresponding position, and even stupid people will think about many problems, and sometimes there is no lack of insight.
