After staying in the western suburbs for a few days, the old man Chen Tianfu accompanied his brother to wander around, bought a bunch of various imported goods, and then the house could not fit and the electricity supply was not enough, so he had to buy a house again.

At first, Chen Tianshou still disagreed, but then the old man strongly insisted, and finally bought a large household area of about 80 square meters in US dollars.

The current house is not tradable, but foreign exchange purchase, basically no problem.

In later generations, many people thought that before the 80s, there was only a shortage of materials and houses in China, but in fact it was not, and most of the houses in China, especially in the cities, had an average living area that was not as good as that of Hong Kong.

In this era, the land may not need money, and the government can build it in a word, but building a house also requires a lot of materials, even if it is not the quality of Hong Kong houses, but you have to use some steel and cement, right? These are all materials, and they are also very energy-intensive to produce, as is the fuel consumption of transportation.

Therefore, at present, in China, the per capita living area is only 3.6 square meters, and the city is not like the countryside where you can build your own house at will, and this fund also comes from the state or state-owned enterprises, which consumes 10% of the country's fiscal revenue in this field every year, and the pressure is very great.

The new home is in place quickly, everyone has come here, this is a floor of 80 square meters, with a yard, no public pool, plus all kinds of electrical appliances, in the current country, it is definitely a very rare luxury house type, the only bad is that the air conditioning can not be installed, because I didn't buy it, this thing, belongs to the absolute luxury, however, the current summer in Tianjin is not very hot, air conditioning is not a necessity, there is a refrigerator plus a fan is enough, and decades are completely different.

One afternoon, Chen Zhiwen was basking in the sun and reading the newspapers, and during this time, he had nothing to do but read various newspapers in China, not to kill time, but to hide a lot of policy information in these newspapers.

"Zhiwen." Chen Tianshou's voice came from behind him, and Chen Zhiwen turned around and said, "Uncle." ”

Chen Tianshou also sat down on the bamboo chair next to him and said, "Zhiwen, let me ask you a question, do ordinary people in Hong Kong have such a quality of life?" ”

"In terms of quality of life, it can only be said that some people have this level, and most of them still can't reach it, mainly because the house is expensive, if you look at it from the perspective of food, basically half of it can reach the level of our days." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

In addition to living in the past few days, other Chen Zhiwen also lives here, and the food is also prepared by the uncle's family, and the normal meat dishes are basically the daily consumption of ordinary families in Hong Kong, at least it is not difficult for the workers under Midea and Red Bull to have such a standard of living, but those at the bottom are not comparable.

"Half? That's also very good, these days for me, it's the equivalent of the New Year. Chen Tianshou said with a smile.

"Now that reform and opening up have begun, the country will also mainly develop the economy, and the lives of the common people will inevitably get better and better in the future." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Yes, it's too bad now, I'm in agriculture, and I often go to the countryside, and many people don't necessarily eat a meal of meat even if it's the New Year." Chen Tianshou said with emotion: "Zhiwen, you are a big capitalist in Hong Kong, and I also know that you have a lot of investment in Shenhai City and can also employ a lot of workers, but I want to ask, is there any way to help farmers get rich quickly?" ”

"If the peasants get rich, it is very difficult, basically they can only rely on industry." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "Only when there is a large number of industries in the country and the number of existing workers is not enough, then a large number of farmers can become workers, and their income can be increased a lot, considering the population of our country, this time is relatively long, at least 20 years to be possible." ”

In the original history, in the 90s, the number of domestic workers has always been on the high side, and the economy has been in a deformed state, which also led to the unemployment of a large number of workers later, until after entering the WTO, the interior gradually became the world's factory, and began to absorb a large number of rural people to work in the cities.

"This time is too long, not to mention getting rich, at least let their lives be better first, right? At least the families who farm and produce food do not go hungry. Chen Tianshou said.

"Yes and yes, during this time I looked at some of the surrounding environment." Chen Zhiwen paused and asked, "Here in Tianjin, there are more rivers and more duck breeders, right?" ”

"Yes, the average family raises a little, mainly to make some money by selling duck eggs, and they are generally reluctant to eat it themselves." Chen Tianshou said.

"What do you do with duck feathers and duck down?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"How? Throw it away? Chen Tianshou replied strangely.

"It's too wasteful, duck down, but the material of high-end down jackets in Europe and the United States, in Europe and the United States, many breeding industries rely on duck down to make money." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "The down jacket is the winter coat that Europe and the United States like in winter, similar to the domestic military uniform, but the price is much more expensive, it is estimated to be ten times that of similar cotton products." ”

"Ten times, so high? Eiderdown is a good thing to keep you warm, but how many ducks do you need to get a winter coat. In terms of warmth, it's far inferior to cotton, right? Chen Tianshou asked with some shock.

"In China, we only pursue warmth, so the cotton effect is better, but foreign countries are different, they are more pursuing lightweight, and the production capacity of fluff is very low, even tens of thousands of ducks can not make many down jackets, so they can only mainly use chemical fiber extracted from petroleum as the main material, but no matter the warmth effect, wearing experience is not as good as pure down, pure duck down jackets or quilts are very expensive in Europe and the United States, or pure goose down is also as expensive." Chen Zhiwen explained.

When there are problems with heating, ensuring life is naturally the first important, therefore, the country and some developing countries with colder winters are using cotton-based winter clothes, after all, cotton is grown in the ground, and the production capacity is much higher than raising ducks and geese.

As for the clothes made of cotton in the mainland after a few decades, it is because of the development of the petrochemical industry, so that it can be split from oil on a large scale to produce chemical fiber materials, and the production capacity is much higher than cotton, but there are few countries that can achieve this level, and industrial products are cheaper in industrialized countries.

Of course, chemical fiber can not absolutely replace cotton and cashmere, so that the latter two still have a certain market space, especially the combination of cotton and chemical fiber, so that clothing in many aspects have the common advantages of both sides, as for fluff, the heating effect is still stronger than cotton and chemical fiber, the evolution of nature is stronger than human science and technology, and in developed countries, many people still pursue fleece cotton, velvet back, pure down jacket, or a little bit, with down.

This naturally leads to a very high demand for velvet in the whole market, and when the capitalists take advantage of this, velvet products become high-end goods, and even have the added value of high-end brands.

"So you mean to encourage farmers to raise more ducks? But raising ducks is also costly, not only ducks are expensive, but also need to feed a lot of food, although there are many rivers in Tianjin, but it is not possible to let the ducks go out to find food by themselves. Chen Tianshou said.

"It's not a problem, wait a few days and the leaders of the municipal party committee of TJ City to discuss the details, in short, that is, I can prepay a certain amount of money to the people, and then they raise ducks or geese, ducks in the process of growth, you can repeat the fluff, and so on the duck is bigger, after slaughter can have meat, this piece I think the mainland will naturally have a market, but there will be a certain fluff, although the value is not as good as duck meat, but this is pure profit." Chen Zhiwen said.

The eiderdown of later generations is actually the added value generated by the duck farming industry, but this added value is purely earned, even if the price is only 10% of the duck meat, it is also a high income for duck farmers.

Of course, if you raise a duck and raise it for a long time, you can pluck the down every once in a while, just like wool, which will not work in the mainland and now Europe and the United States, because the labor cost is too expensive, and the fluff pulled out is not enough for the wages, but for the people in the mainland who do not have a job, there is no other cost, the same is pure earning, anyway, most of the time the people are nothing.

"It's okay to do this, and it can increase the income of farmers a little." Chen Tianshou nodded and said.

"If you want to greatly increase the income of farmers, you can't do it by any enterprise, even if you are the richest man in the world, it is only possible for the whole country to develop together, my method can only say, let farmers in a place have more extra income, you can eat more rice or meat, if you look at it from the first step to increase farmers' income, the popularization of chemical fertilizers is still the most important." Chen Zhiwen analyzed.

There are at least a few million peasants in Tianjin, and tens of millions in other provinces, such a large base, the GDP of the entire Hong Kong is not enough to give everyone an average amount of money, and can use his own industry to increase the income of millions of people, this is already the limit of his ability, if he wants to do better, it will take another ten years, when he controls a part of the purchasing power of the American retail market, the employability driven in China will be as high as millions, so that countless domestic people can obtain higher incomes.

"It's very good, the main thing is that the products can be exported, so that they can always help farmers, and I am afraid that the country will not be able to bear it if it relies on state assistance for a long time." Chen Tianshou said that in recent years, the country's industrial development has become worse and worse, in order to stabilize the urban economy, the central government has to reduce the price of grain and other goods in the city, and in this way, the peasants' income from selling grain has naturally decreased, and the central government has subsidized 10 billion yuan a year for this, which has led to the delay of many infrastructure and housing construction.

"Win-win is the best, and I can profit from it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, of course he doesn't care about this income, but it is indeed good for him, at least it can bring the economy of some regions to life. And overseas demand for velvet products is very high, if the mainland relies on the free-range mode of 0 labor cost, in terms of cost can suppress the foreign centralized breeding model, that is to open up a new industry, not only Tianjin, many places in the country can be imitated.

Of course, this may only exist for more than ten years, because when the industry develops, labor costs will go up, but at that level, it is not impossible to develop concentrated breeding technology.

As for now, it will not work, there is no large-scale centralized breeding technology in China, blind attempts, health technology is not up to standard, one avian flu can kill all poultry.

After staying at Uncle Chen's house for a few days, Chen Zhiwen and his entourage came to the TJ Municipal Government again.

"Secretary Wang, what do you think of this investment?" After anointing his thoughts, Chen Zhiwen asked.

Secretary Wang didn't answer, and asked, "Mr. Chen, this eiderdown has a big market overseas?" ”

"Absolutely, it's just the channels I master, the annual sales are at least tens of millions of dollars, fluffy underwear, down jackets, fluffy blankets, fluffy quilts, etc., the market is very large, and a lot of fluff is needed." Chen Zhiwen said.

Costco and Wal-Mart alone naturally do not have this scale at present, but Galaxy Trade's main customers now, but Celtic and some other European and American supermarket chains, with a large number of cost-effective light industrial products and high-quality services, Galaxy Trade has become one of the world's largest light industrial products trading companies, the previous business also involved winter velvet products, but they are all direct purchases, and there is no investment, but if the country has the ability to do a good job, it can naturally be done for the country. It can also lead hundreds of thousands of farmers to raise their daily incomes.

"Ten million dollars?" Secretary Wang felt his heart beat and asked, "Then how can we cooperate?" ”

Chen Zhiwen said: "It's too troublesome to build a new factory, it's best to pick a large textile factory in TJ City, which has the ability to make winter clothes, and then I inject US dollars to buy some overseas equipment, or send people to similar factories overseas for study.

As for the shares, we can follow the 51:49 stipulated by the central government, and we will discuss how much money we need, how about it? ”

"Okay, I'll report to the leaders of the municipal party committee, but there shouldn't be any problem." Secretary Wang said with a full mouthful of promise.

Since the implementation of the reform policy, almost all cities with a little scale and a little industry in the country have begun to contact overseas companies, intending to cooperate, but with little effect, even if there is a negotiation, there are many conditions, the most unacceptable is that foreign capital wants to enter the domestic market to make domestic money.

The initial purpose of the reform was to allow foreign capital to invest and then export to earn foreign exchange, but overseas capitalists all wanted to sell their products to China to earn foreign exchange, which was already scarce in China, and the purpose was completely different, and there was no way to reconcile it.

"I have one more request, though." Chen Zhiwen said again.

"Mr. Chen, please speak." Secretary Wang said.

"I've been to some friendship stores in TJ City, which have a lot of imported household appliances, usually Japanese brands, and I also have a company that produces home appliances in Hong Kong, can my home appliances also be delivered to the friendship stores in TJ City?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"If it's a friendship store, it's okay, I'll take care of it." Secretary Wang said that the friendship store, itself is to spend foreign exchange to buy goods, although there are many domestic people to buy foreign exchange, but this is also the default of the whole country, people have relatives and friends in overseas sent back foreign exchange, of course, have their own right to use, these consumption does not affect the domestic foreign exchange reserves, and even some people will use foreign exchange to buy domestic goods, such as meat, the country is also earned.

"Okay, thank you Secretary Wang." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

If you want to enter the domestic friendship store, it is easier to be very cola and Red Bull, but it is more difficult to use electrical appliances, of course, it is not impossible to do, if Chen Zhiwen puts forward this requirement to the central government in the future, it should not be a problem, but that will also consume a favor, and here in TJ City, it is a bypassing requirement when investing in yourself.

As long as there is a breakthrough, that is the opportunity, in terms of cost performance, Midea's electrical appliances are far more than Japanese brands, besides, Japanese brands are determined to make money in China, but he is not in a hurry, at least not now.

As long as the cost performance is high, someone will naturally find business opportunities, then the goods in Tianjin will naturally be sent out, and if it takes a long time, friendship stores around the country may take the initiative to send them to the door.

In the afternoon of the same day, Secretary Wang reported Chen Zhiwen's proposal to the leaders of TJ City, a project with an export quota of up to 10 million US dollars can also increase the income of countless people in his city, what reason is there not to agree?

The next day, Chen Zhiwen followed Secretary Wang and his party to a large textile factory located in the northwest of TJ City.

"Mr. Chen, this second woolen mill is mainly to make military coats and winter quilts, which have always been supplied to Northeast and North China, with rich production experience, and the quality has been very good." Secretary Wang introduced while taking Chen Zhiwen to inspect the workshop.

"How big is this?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The factory area is about 300 acres, and if you count primary schools, nurseries, vegetable farms, etc., it is about 800 acres." Secretary Wang said.

"Okay, then here, I'll arrange for someone from Hong Kong to come over and confirm." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, in the future, there will be 800 acres of land in the urban area of TJ City, what other bicycles will be needed!
