In the two years of the Orr War, the international influence of the Great Heng Empire has been further enhanced, and the recent negotiations with ordinary countries have been much smoother!

However, the improvement of strength also made the Krull Kingdom feel threatened, after the end of the Orr War, some manufacturers in the Krull Kingdom were in short supply, too many orders, rising raw material costs and other factors, and successively increased the price of some high-end machinery and equipment purchased by many enterprises in the Daheng Empire!

"This is definitely not a normal price increase, if it is only a few percentage points, or even half of the price increase is within the normal range, but they are doubling the price increase, and they have increased the export tariffs on our high-end machinery and equipment by at least 80%!"

"Last year, a electroplating equipment was only 180,000 Hengyuan, and now they are asking for 360,000 Hengyuan, not to mention the direct price increase, and the export tariff has also increased significantly, just this, they also said that there are too many orders, and they need to pay 80% of the deposit before they can queue up for production, and they will be delivered after two years."

"At the same time, we have also noticed that they are only raising the price of some equipment that has no competitors in the international market, such as top-tech 5,000-ton hydraulic presses, ultra-high-precision processing machine tools and other equipment that cannot be produced by the Walya Empire and other countries!"

"And countries such as the Walya Empire have equipment of similar products, and they basically maintain the original price and export tariffs!"

After receiving the reports of various enterprises, the top management of the empire knew that the Krull Kingdom had begun to shrink the export of high-end technology and equipment to the empire and began to suppress the empire's industrial development.

What does this mean?

Foreign Minister Jiang Wanye said: "The Krull people already regard the empire as a major threat, otherwise they would not have imposed export restrictions on high-end equipment for us, before us, only the Walya Empire, the Keel Empire, and the Gafia Empire could have this treatment, and now, we are the fourth!" ”

In response to the restrictions on the export of high-end equipment from the Krull Kingdom, the empire naturally needs to respond, and it is difficult to counteract in trade, because the Daheng Empire exports some basic products to the Krull Kingdom, and it is only by relying on the low-price strategy to enter the Krull Kingdom market.

Militarily it is naturally even more inappropriate, and now that the peaceful development of the empire is essential, there will be no war at a critical moment.

The only countermeasure is to restrict the import of some luxury goods and other products from the Krull Kingdom, but these products have high tariffs, and the restrictions are of little use.

At the cabinet meeting, Lin Ziran gave instructions for this change: "In the development of high-end industries, especially high-end equipment, we must walk on multiple legs!" ”

"The procurement channels on Krull's side should still be maintained as much as possible, and the price is more expensive, which is better than not selling them!"

"Secondly, we also have to strive to find alternative suppliers in countries such as Walia and Kekel, and their industrial strength is not bad, although they are not as good as the Krull in some areas, but in some areas, they can still match or even surpass the Krull."

"If it is a direct procurement trouble, then we can also go through some unconventional channels, such as in the name of a third country to bypass these export restrictions for import, specific measures you can consider one or two to come up with a way, their machinery enterprises are also enterprises, but also need orders, need profits, it is impossible not to sell this, otherwise they themselves will have to go bankrupt, properly arranged, bypassing the restrictions is also very possible!"

"Last, and most importantly!"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziran looked around at the many high-ranking officials present, and finally said in a serious tone: "Whether it is history or the present, it tells us that people must be self-reliant, and the country must be self-sufficient. ”

"If we want not to be stuck by others, the best way is to have it ourselves!"

"Your own is the most reliable and safest!"

"All departments, especially the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of National Defense Industry, the Royal Academy of Sciences and other departments and institutions, must attach great importance to the development of science and technology in the field of basic materials, research and development of high-end equipment!"

"The R&D funds for the core project must be guaranteed, and in any case, we must also have our own high-end materials and equipment!"

At the end of the imperial meeting, Lin Ziran emphasized the importance and urgency of spontaneous research and development and independent production with a long speech, and asked all departments, institutions and enterprises to attach great importance to it.

During the meeting, Lin Ziran personally made a national key project plan.

For R&D projects included in national key projects, special R&D funding subsidies will be given, and the subsidy funds will be jointly funded by the central and local governments.

At the same time, the State Assets Management Committee and the Royal Asset Management Committee are required to focus on and invest in high-tech R&D and production!

Financial management institutions should further supervise the transfer of funds by major state-owned banks!

Good steel should be used on the blade, and limited funds should be used on key projects!

I heard that some time ago, Dongdingzhou Commercial Bank provided a large amount of funds to private securities companies, so that Dongzhou Precision Machinery could not find the expansion funds, and in the end, it was the Royal Bank that transferred a sum of funds to solve their urgent needs.

Commercial banks issue loans for the purpose of making money, which is inevitable and conforms to objective laws.

However, as a wholly owned bank under the National Asset Management Commission, its position must be on the side of the country and on the side of the people.

The hard-earned money of the people of Daheng must be used for the most important and urgent key projects for the country and the people, and this money will not be loaned to factories, nor will it be used for research and development, production, and the development of the local economy.

Instead, it was used to lend money to private securities companies and put them into the stock market, which is a serious political mistake.

It's not just a problem of unfavorable risk control, but also a problem of improper buttocks.

At the end of Lin Ziran's meeting, the example of Dongzhou Commercial Bank casually cited was to emphasize the use of funds and the political consciousness of the financial industry and even the entire State Assets Management Commission.

As for the problem of Dongzhou Commercial Bank itself, it has been dealt with a long time ago, and the management has been arrested one by one.

The issuance of funds to private securities companies for securities speculation is a serious violation of the Imperial Banking Management Act, which clearly prohibits loans from being used for speculative operations such as stocks and futures.

But this is nothing, at most it is just an illegal operation, and it will not let the entire management be put in a pot and sent to prison for reflection.

The point is that there is a problem with their political consciousness.

Dongzhou Commercial Bank is the third largest state-owned bank in Dongding State, what is the purpose of its establishment? It is to raise funds for the development of local industry and commerce, to provide loans to local industries, etc., in order to develop the local area and is their only mission, making money or not making money is not the point at all.

Since the establishment of Dongzhou Commercial Bank, it has made huge profits every year, but it is difficult for the local industry to obtain the loans needed for development, and it has not been deposited for several years, and it is difficult to obtain loans even for Dongdingzhou Precision Machinery, a national key enterprise!

What is the use of such a bank?

As a result, the management of Dongzhou Commercial Bank was collectively sent to prison for introspection.

In a pre-imperial meeting, in addition to talking about walking on multiple legs for the first ten minutes, the remaining two hours or so were all about independent research and development, from policies to funds and other aspects of various guarantees.

Lin Ziran demanded that all relevant institutions must attach great importance to it.

This will be a national battle, and victory will be able to cross the threshold, and the Daheng Empire will truly become a first-rate industrial power.

If you can't, then you can only rely on these old books to slowly eat and wait for death, and finally gradually fall behind in this era of faster and faster technological development, and finally be eliminated.

After a high-level imperial industrial development meeting, the Daheng Empire also quickly adjusted many policies, and many departments have successively introduced their own support policies.

For example, the implementation of tax reduction and tax policies for enterprises in high-tech industries, and the establishment of international key scientific research projects, for the projects listed in it, whether it is a research institution directly under the government, or a research structure belonging to a university, or a research and development project of a state-owned enterprise, or even a research and development project of private capital, as long as it meets the requirements, it can apply for national key scientific research projects, so as to obtain special research and development fund support.

At the same time, major colleges and universities have once again expanded the enrollment scale of science and engineering departments, and major famous universities have recruited more graduate students and doctoral students to cultivate more scientific research talents.

At the same time, it has also increased the scale of government-dispatched international students, and also encouraged some self-financed international students.

Anyway, there is no need to worry that Daheng people will not come if they go out to study.

The proportion of international students in Daheng who return to China after studying abroad is more than 99%.

On the one hand, foreigners generally do not have a good sense of Daheng people, and they will be generally resisted in terms of education and employment.

Many foreigners think that the people of Daheng are barbarians who can only fight and kill.

Of course, this also has something to do with Daheng people themselves, even if they are international students who go to study, even if they will endure it in order to integrate into the local area, they will still show some mentality more or less.

That is the yearning for external expansion!

There's no way, this kind of thing has been deeply rooted in the traditional culture of Daheng people in thousands of years of history, and you can't change it if you want to!

Although the Daheng Empire has begun to reverse this mentality in recent years in terms of public opinion, culture and education, it is only the expansion of land, but the focus of the expansion is on economic interests, and the proposition is that Daheng needs more countries to open the market to Daheng, so that Daheng's factories can obtain enough raw materials and markets.

Of course, there is also a big factor that the living conditions in Daheng are generally better than those in other countries.

It's okay to suffer for a few years in order to learn advanced knowledge, but after graduation, you still have to live a good life at home, you have to suffer abroad, this is not stupid!
