Chapter 270: The road is rugged, and the slow talker

Chen Qirong wryly smiled and bumped in the car, sighing that this Qiongdao is really backward enough. All the way from the mouth of the river, except for the mouth of the river, almost the entire interior is like this.

Eguchi was better, and most of the people I saw along the way from Yangcheng were wearing earthy blue overalls. There are even many people with piles of patches on their bodies, and their faces are vegetable. It can be seen that the living situation in China is indeed not very good.

Not to mention cars on the road, there are few motorcycles. Even the relatively well-developed estuary has only seen some cars and motorcycles. It's more of the old-fashioned bikes, and you don't even see a few women's bikes.

In Chen Qirong's view, this qiē is really boring. He couldn't figure it out, is such a place worth cooperating?! When he came to Qiong Island, he walked all the way on the deserted highway Chen Qirong smiled bitterly.

The development of such a road can be imagined, and the situation here is not even as good as Yangcheng. This made Chen Qirong feel disappointed directly, how can he cooperate with Qiongdao in such an environment? !

After all, Chen Qirong grew up with Chen Qian and them in Yizhou, and the customs of Yizhou are quite similar to Qiongdao. Even the Hokkien language spoken in Yizhou and the dialect of Qiongdao belong to the same language family, and the scenery of Qiongdao is not so special in his opinion.

Moreover, the current development of Yizhou is also relatively good. Whether it's agriculture or industry, or finance. are more than a cut away from the interior. Therefore, the mainland is so backward in Chen Qirong's view.

"Uncle, you said that Ah Gong asked us to come to Qiongdao to talk about business with that Liang Sanping. But now in the situation here, what cooperation can we have with them......" Chen Qirong complained to Chen Songling, the uncle beside him: "Even if there are some advantages here, at most it is similar to our Yizhou." I don't see anything to work with them. ”

Chen Songling smiled slightly when she heard this, although the car was bumpy, Chen Songling always had this kind of warm smile on her face. And this kind of smiling face has not changed at all since Chen Qirong met him to the present.

"Ah Rong. You're still young. What you see is just simple business, but there are many things behind business that you can't see. And the things that you can't see happen to be the most important and difficult things in many cases. ”

Chen Songling is not a young man like Chen Qirong, he has been following Chen Qian for a longer time and has seen more things. Even many of the Chen family's businesses were handed over to Chen Qirong and them to run after he handled them.

Chen Qirong also admired this uncle very much, and countless negotiations seemed impossible to him. But in the hands of this uncle. It's all weighty. What seems impossible, this Abel can always do.

"Ah Rong, you need to know. In any country and region, if you want to do business and do big business, then a discipline that you must learn is not a bullshit MBA, let alone management and management. Rather, it's political economics! ”

政zhìeconomics, written in English: Politicaleconomy. Broadly speaking, it is a discipline that studies economic activities, economic relations and economic laws such as social production, capital, circulation, exchange, distribution and consumption.

The first person in history to use the term "political economics" was the French A.de. Munquelaitian, who published the book "Political Economics for Kings and Queens" in 1615.

Scottish philosopher and economist Adam Brown, author of The Wealth of Nations. Smith, on the other hand, considered it the science of "the production and distribution of national wealth." However, at present, the term macroeconomics is generally used in the world.

saw Chen Songling whispering to Chen Qirong in that glutinous Hokkien language: "If you want to do big business, it is imperative to become a so-called entrepreneur with an understanding of politics." ”

"Because all the businesses and industries here actually go up and down under the influence of the country's policies. If you are not sensitive enough to politics, no matter what business you do, you will end up losing money. ”

Chen Qirong froze for a moment when he heard this, and seemed to be a little unconvinced and wanted to refute. But he didn't speak again. Seeing this, Chen Songling smiled slightly: "Are you not convinced?!" Don't you think what I'm saying is too extreme?! ”

Chen Qirong didn't speak, but his expression was like that. Chen Songling is undeniable. After all, Chen Qirong is still young, and he has different levels and situations that he has been exposed to, so he has a different perspective on the problem.

Chen Qirong, who was born in a professional class, learned more about management. I learned a little bit about running a business. But beyond these core things, it is impossible to teach in the classroom. Even professors. It's also just a caress of the fur and has nothing to do with the core.

"For example, this time, Mr. Li Jiacheng and their investment in the highway from Jiangkou to Yangcheng, do you think it would be possible if the mainland did not have political support?!" Chen Songling smiled slightly and asked Chen Qirong.

The latter was stunned when he heard this, but he had nothing to say. Indeed, if the mainland does not approve this in this regard, then this investment will not be made at all. Afterwards, Chen Qirong also calculated the return on this investment. Undoubtedly, this is considerable.

"When I say 'political economics', I don't mean the political economics you learned in your textbook. What I mean by political economics is the impact of political activities and fluctuations on the business behavior of enterprises in reality. ”

saw Chen Songling pause, and said to Chen Qirong: "During the first presidential period, martial law was strictly enforced. Do you think we still have a chance to do business?! You think. We still have a chance to do business?! ”

Chen Qirong heard this and stopped squeaking. If it was still in the period of martial law of the previous president, let alone development. If they come to the mainland without permission, they will die. will be directly dragged by the people on the military commander's side for questioning, and it may not be possible to ruin the family and kill people.

"If it weren't for President Jingguo's top ten constructions, do you think our Chen family would be able to develop?!" But seeing Chen Songling smile at Chen Qirong again, he said: "Outsiders don't know, don't you know that our family is in the North-South Expressway, Zhongzheng International Airport, and railway electrification...... Wait, how much share did you win in these projects?! ”

Chen Qirong was even more speechless when he heard this. Indeed, although there are not many of these projects, there is no less. All aspects of the income have made the Chen family earn, and this is the beginning of Chen Qian's life in Yizhou. And it is precisely because of Chen Gan's support for the president in these matters that the status of the Chen family in Yizhou has been gradually improved. He even received a visit from the president at one point.

The top ten construction projects in Yizhou refer to the period of October 1973, when the world's first oil crisis occurred. Due to the rise in oil prices and the shortage of materials, the situation of inflation in various countries is under the situation.

In order to improve and deepen the overall economic development, the then president of Yizhou proposed to implement 10 large-scale infrastructure projects. The construction began in 1974 and was completed by the end of 1979, with a total investment of 209.4 billion yuan.

Among the top 10 constructions, six are transportation construction, three are heavy industry construction, and one is energy project construction. In these project plans, highways, railway electrification, and railway construction are included.

The construction of two ports and an international airport. A large shipyard, a steel mill. A petrochemical company, an oil refinery, and a nuclear power plant. There is no doubt that this president has laid a solid foundation for the development of Yizhou.

According to published data, four years after the construction of the North-South Expressway started in 1971, Yizhou's economic growth rate in 1974 was 1.16%[5], the industrial growth rate was -4.5%, and the inflation rate was 47.5%. By 1976, the economy was growing at a rate of 13.86 per cent, industrial growth by 24.4 per cent, and inflation by 2.48 per cent.

The implementation of the top ten constructions in Yizhou, where the national economic income was still low at that time, as well as the diplomatic difficulties such as the first oil crisis and the United Nations Resolution 2758 at the same time, the implementation of construction and funding took great risks and considerations, and was greatly criticized by the public opinion circles at that time. But the end result proved that the president was doing the right thing.

After the implementation of the ten major constructions, Yizhou immediately began to support and build agriculture. On September 27, 1972, Yizhou announced "important measures to accelerate rural construction". From 1979 to 1982, the "Program for Improving Farmers' Income and Strengthening Rural Construction" was implemented.

According to the survey report of the Comptroller's Office of the Executive Yuan of Yizhou, the average income per farmer in Yizhou has increased from 157,797 yuan in 1979 to 219,696 yuan since 1979, an increase rate of 39.2%, which is very effective.

"Although I think Mr. President is extremely naïve in politics, I have to admit that he is very good at economics." But Chen Songling said with a smile: "These policies he has implemented obviously have a deep Soviet color. But we have to admit that they are extremely effective and very suitable for implementation. ”

Chen Qirong was speechless at this time, indeed since the current president took office. The economy of Yizhou as a whole has just begun to develop in an all-round and high-speed manner. Even sometimes he thinks it's a really amazing thing.

When President Jingguo, who was still the premier of the Executive Yuan at the time, announced the "Ten Major Constructions", Li Guoding, then Minister of Finance, knew nothing. Afterwards, Li described this kind of Chiang-style public construction as "a great achievement" and "exaggerated".

But even if he discussed and opposed it, he still had to admit that the top ten construction projects were "crookedly beaten". It directly pulled up the economy of the entire Yizhou, and laid the foundation for the subsequent great development of Yizhou.

Is it crooked?! Chen Qirong smiled bitterly, as a special case, Chen Qirong has also studied this aspect of the problem. If you say that this is crooked, what about the subsequent twelve constructions?!

Yes, the 12 projects have not been as successful as the 10 projects. But despite its flaws, it cannot hide its success. At least at the level of Yizhou's economic development, these two achievements cannot be erased. (To be continued......)
