Chapter 25 Economy (3)

"Write it down!" Zhou Guiwang said to the assistant beside him: "If you want to cure wealth, build roads first......

Then he asked me with interest: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... Let's talk about this to cure wealth...... What does it have to do with road construction? ”

"This ......" I feel a little embarrassed that I am stealing this sentence...... But it's all come to this, and I have to say it!

"Let's put it this way......" I said, "to use an analogy...... There is a village that is suitable for growing oranges, but there are no roads, only mountain roads...... So you can only use manpower to pick out these oranges, but how many catties can a person pick out when he walks back and forth like this? So this greatly limits the development of agricultural production, not to mention industry...... If a manufacturer wants to set up a factory here, the raw materials cannot be shipped in, and the finished products cannot be shipped...... In other words, if there is no decent road, then it will be difficult for the village to develop, and it will be isolated from the world in a sense! ”

Zhou Guiwang couldn't stop nodding: "So...... This road construction seems to be a loss-making deal, but in fact, it not only facilitates the travel of the people, but also makes the development of the rural economy possible! ”

"That's right!" I nodded, and continued, "Actually, it's not just about building roads, it's about improving the entire infrastructure, such as electricity...... The factory needs electricity, the voltage is not enough or there is a power outage at both ends in three days, which manufacturer dares to set up a factory here? Another example is law and order...... If the law and order is not good, they will be stolen, robbed, threatened, and intimidated in three days...... The manufacturer will be scared away once he comes, where do they dare to set up a factory here! And once a factory is successful, it only takes to set up a factory here...... It can provide a lot of employment opportunities for the people! ”

I know this because I went to India with a friend in modern times...... India is arguably the country that bears the most resemblance to China. About the same time as the founding of the country. About the same population. The economy was similar when it was founded, and so on...... But China and India can develop into two things...... China's economy is taking off and modernizing, while India is still in a semi-feudal and semi-capital state!

Ultimately...... It is China that has chosen to start from the lower level, that is, to improve the infrastructure and vigorously attract foreign business. India, on the other hand, has developed a software industry that does not require infrastructure...... As a result, India is still a country where electricity is cut off several times a day in big cities, there is no clean drinking water, and there is poor traffic and security......

I remember when this friend was talking in my ear, I wanted to go up and kick him...... All I want most is to leave India right away.

But now that I think about it...... I really have to thank this wordy friend!

Then I talked a lot with Zhou Guiwang, such as the importance of paying attention to the social status of individual businesses. Emphasis on the introduction of technology and human resources, as well as the importance of the spread of banks...... All I need to do is recall many of the things that have been implemented in modern times, and these are all beyond doubt to me...... It had already been realized, and it turned out to be correct, so I said it with a lot of certainty or without thinking...... This made Zhou Guiwang's face show a puzzled expression from time to time.

Of course, occasionally Zhou Guiwang will ask some more professional questions...... I don't know much about this, but it's not a hassle to deal with, I just scratch my head and answer, "I just don't know...... That's it!

After talking for a few hours...... I basically poured almost the ink in my stomach before Zhou Guiwang was willing to let me go......

"I said Commander Zhang......" Zhou Guiwang said to Commander Zhang with a smile: "You still say that Comrade Yang Xuefeng is a soldier who only knows how to fight...... You see. That's a lot of thought...... And these ideas are very special, and they are also very reasonable and valuable...... It's worth taking a closer look. Perfect, and then put them into practice! This soldier ...... It's not easy! ”

"Alas! Old Zhou......" Commander Zhang looked at me with a wry smile and replied, "Didn't you see that I was also stunned just now?" Usually I only knew that he would fight, where would I have thought that he would have such a set......"

Zhou Guiwang laughed and said: "It seems that you are incompetent as a commander, and you don't know enough about your subordinates!" ”

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Then Zhou Guiwang shook my hand and said, "Thank you very much for these ideas...... In this way, I will leave you with a phone call......"

As he spoke, he tore off a piece of paper and wrote down a set of phone numbers with both hands, and said, "If you have any new ideas...... You are welcome to call me and tell me at any time, day or night...... Just put your name on it, and I'll answer the phone no matter what the situation! ”

After saying that, he thanked me and Commander Zhang again, and finally told me again that I would call in the future, and then left with my assistant satisfied!

"You're not simple!" After sending Zhou Guiwang away, Commander Zhang said to me, "I was just joking just now...... I didn't expect you to really have two hands in finance! ”

"This ......" I had to pretend to be confused again: "Maybe it's because I'm thinking about running that business during this time...... So I'm thinking too much! ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang didn't ask, I'm afraid it's because he already knew that I would have strange thoughts in my head, and it has been like this since I fought on the battlefield, so it's not strange now!

"But I have to tell you......" Commander Zhang raised the text in his hand and said, "You run a business and run a business...... It can not affect the training of the troops, this is the most important thing, and it is very likely to be imminent...... Do you understand? ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Commander Zhang...... Is there another movement on the part of the Soviet Union? ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded: "Their military exercises in the north are becoming more and more frequent, and there have been as many as five ...... from this year to now."

"It doesn't make sense!" I said, "They haven't broken their hands in Afghanistan yet!" ”

"You have to know ......," Commander Zhang explained, "the Soviet Union also sees a series of reforms that our country is currently underway...... Of course they know we're heading in the right direction, so wait...... They are facing an increasingly powerful China. So...... There is still a sense of adventure! Or maybe it's just a dog that barks and doesn't bite...... But who knows? We can only be prepared! (To be continued......)
