There were four people sitting in the small conference room, including a clerk, this was a small discussion meeting, and Hou Jie obviously asked Lin Qiangsheng for advice, and lowered his posture slightly.

Previously, although Hou Jie was mainly responsible for the economic work in the province, because the country was still in a planned economy, his main work was to coordinate the deployment of various means of production and finished products. For the market economy, to be honest, Hou Jie is still a layman.

In the process of the growth and development of Dongxing Group, Hou Jie is also carefully observing and summing up some experience. In 84 years, that is, last year, the pace of national economic development accelerated, the economic situation improved, and some large-scale construction projects were restarted, such as the 300,000-ton petrochemical plant in Daqing.

In particular, the brilliant achievements of Dongxing have inspired a group of leading cadres in the province who are full of reform spirit, and seeing the benefits brought by economic growth to the province, a considerable number of people of insight have seen the role of economic development, and many people have been tempted, Hou Jie is also one of them, and it just so happens that Bincheng has this condition, and the construction of the economic development zone has been proposed early.

Lin Qiangsheng recalled some of the economic situations he had seen or paid attention to in his previous life, and Hou Jie and Governor Chen Lei looked at him seriously, waiting for him to say something.

Lin Qiangsheng decided not to hide his selfishness, he will say whatever he wants, such a self is his true temperament, no matter what the leader thinks, since he lets himself say it, then say it, who is afraid of whom!

He said to Governor Chen and Hou Jie: "The actions of the upper echelons of the central government in the past few years show that the leaders have a firm determination!

China's reform and opening up is already the trend of the times, and no voice can stop this general trend, and the country will not close the door again, and economic development has become the mainstream!

Then, the future work of our province is to strive to grasp economic development and not relax. This is a general trend, the province's policy should also keep up with the pace of the central government, what the central government proposed, and strive to follow up, the birds that will call have food to eat, and province H should strive for preferential policies. It is best to establish one or two economically open cities in our province like the southern coastal area, which will be beneficial to the development of industry and agriculture in our province, so that the central government will not forget about our province! ”

Hou Jie laughed loudly, glanced at Governor Chen Lei, and then said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "I can't imagine that Comrade Xiaolin's ambition is not small, and the affairs of the central government will not be discussed for the time being, where do you think you want to open the city?"

We are a frontier, and we are not close to the sea, and it is a big problem that we do not have developed sea transportation in the south! ”

Today, it is a rare opportunity to come into contact with the leaders of the province who are directly responsible for economic work. Simply Lin Qiangsheng just said what he thought in his heart.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Not by the sea is indeed a big disadvantage of our province!"

However, our province is close to the Soviet Far East, and we can make full use of this point, develop the trade in the Far East no worse than the sea, and then strengthen the road transportation capacity and build a highway and high-speed railway from Bencheng to Liangang. In fact, there is still a lot of room for improvement in capacity! ”

Hou Jie nodded and said, "Highway." Speed railway. ”

He was a little hesitant in his heart, it seems that the transportation capacity has a great impact on the economy of the province, and even Lin Qiangsheng has made suggestions to him, but these two aspects require large investment and construction, and I am afraid that the province will not have this ability in a short time.

Lin Qiangsheng continued: "After the new leadership of the Soviet Union came to power, ********** emphasized the need to develop the economy. After he takes over the leadership of the Soviet Union, he will certainly improve relations with China, which we cannot reach at the national level, but the economic improvement of the two countries is just around the corner. Our province is located at the forefront of the Far East of the Soviet Union, if we seize the opportunity, vigorously develop trade with the Soviet Union, and occupy the market before other provinces react, it will greatly promote the economic growth of the province, which is beneficial to both sides, I believe that it will not be long before the Soviet Union will relax the control of the Far East and resume economic exchanges with our province! ”

Hou Jie sighed in surprise and asked, "How do you know this?" Will the Soviets really step up trade with us? ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, and said with great certainty: "It will definitely be, the current economic situation of the Soviet Union is down, ********** this person is friendly to the West and does not have much hostility towards China, the Soviet Union will soon relax the control of the Far East, and our province must be prepared!" ”

Hou Jie nodded heavily and said, "I will learn more about this situation and see what the situation in the Soviet Union is like recently!" ”

He then said to Lin Qiangsheng: "However, as far as I know, the economic scale of my country and the Soviet Union is very small, and the people in the border areas have some independent trade, but if we want to develop large-scale bilateral trade, we must not only work hard, but also have the consent of the Soviet Union, if people are not enthusiastic, we will take it in vain!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "I mean, our province is preparing first, according to the state will open a few cities in the border areas to make a plan, and when the Soviet Union responds, our province can immediately mobilize, the scale of the economy rapidly expanded, my idea is to establish an open city in Heihe or Suifenhe, increase the construction of railways, the current capacity is obviously not up to the requirements!"

In this regard, Dongxing Group can invest in the construction of a new railway line, and in the spring of next year, Dongxing will establish a large-scale foreign trade market in Suifenhe and Heihe to prepare for large-scale trade between China and the Soviet Union! ”

Facing the surprised eyes of several people, Lin Qiangsheng continued: "Don't be surprised, in fact, the trade with the Soviet Union is very considerable!"

Although the Soviet Union, like China, has worked hard to develop heavy industry in the past few decades, although China has inherited the Soviet model, there is one thing that the Soviet Union cannot compare, that is, the development of China's light industry is also relatively complete, and the Soviet Union's light industry also has some, but they pay more attention to heavy industry, and light industry has lagged behind China in an all-round way, greatly lagging behind the world!

Using the economic trade of the two countries, we can complement each other very well, and exchange from the Soviet Union for a large number of industrial semi-finished products and raw materials, such as timber, coal, steel products, rare metals, fertilizers, and so on.

Rare metals and steel in the Far East are also lacking in our province, for a long time our province must rely on foreign raw materials to support industrial development, not only long distance and high cost, trade with the Soviet Union, we can exchange cheap and low-cost light industrial products for heavy industrial products and resources of the Soviet Union, this is a very profitable big deal!

The more Lin Qiangsheng said, the more excited he became: "This not only solves the problem of lack of resources in our province, but also digests the light industrial products of our province!"

The light industry has always had the advantage of developing quickly and making money quickly, and our province should quickly build a number of high-quality and modern light industry projects to produce high-quality light industrial products, which will definitely be able to occupy the market of the Soviet Far East, and even cross Siberia from the Far East to Moscow and even the countries of Eastern Europe. ”

The clerk worked hard to write down Lin Qiangsheng's words, and Governor Chen Lei and Acting Governor Hou Jie were also very happy to listen, and Wang Guangmei asked next to him: "Chairman Lin, what are the light industry projects you are talking about?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "That's too much, bubble gum, tobacco, sneakers, leather shoes, down jackets, good quality and fashionable leather clothing, clothing, bags, suitcases, etc., as long as it is popular in Europe and the United States, it is what the Soviets like!"

They are even willing to pay a month's salary just to buy a fashionable down jacket, the Soviet people don't look at themselves in the socialist camp, but they are actually the same as our people, they also think that Europe, America and Western countries are more developed and have better products!

And they are much richer than our common people, the people have money in their hands, and the Soviets are moving from a lower level of consumption to a higher level of consumption, but the backward light industrial products of the USSR cannot meet their needs and limit this desire to consume!

This has been going on for a long time, and a long period of repression is bound to bring a strong backlash!

It is a pity that this situation did not attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, and there is a reason for this, this alliance has already done a good job of division of labor when it was established, and the Russian Republic next to us is not the main production base of light industry, once the Soviet Union opens the door to China, domestic light industry products will rapidly occupy the Soviet market, and our province must strive to develop trade with the Soviet Union and strive to get the largest piece of cake!

We produce what the Soviet Union lacks, and now that the Soviets have money, they are more willing to consume, then we will satisfy them, so that our province will not only solve a large number of employment problems, but also greatly reduce the burden on state-owned enterprises! ”

Hou Jie asked Lin Qiangsheng in surprise: "How to solve the burden of the enterprise?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "In my opinion, China's state-owned enterprises have developed into the way they are now, mainly because there are many people, the state in order to solve the problem of social employment, let enterprises recruit a large number of surplus personnel, resulting in a serious surplus of manpower in the enterprise, a post of seven or eight people, and do a good job of bad work, which makes the real people have no enthusiasm, product quality can not be improved, thus losing the market, and the enterprise because of the need to pay a large number of surplus personnel wages, resulting in a serious waste of funds, Such enterprises usually rely on loans and subsidies to barely maintain, not to mention the introduction of technology and equipment, a large number of personnel not only caused a serious burden to the enterprise, but also a serious waste of resources, the gains outweigh the losses, the more difficult the enterprise to operate, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to lose money! ”

Hou Jie and Chen Lei both nodded heavily, Lin Qiangsheng said that this problem is indeed there, and it is very serious, they are leaders, of course, they understand some of the actual situations of state-owned enterprises in the province, only more serious than he said, not the most serious!

Lin Qiangsheng continued: "In fact, in the final analysis, it is a matter of people, can these enterprises really develop with capital and technology? I can't see it! ”

"How can it not be lawful!" Hou Jie was extremely surprised and asked Lin Qiangsheng that the planning of the economic development zone is to drive the development of state-owned enterprises in the province, especially to improve technology and equipment. (To be continued.) )
