Chapter 1296 Beijing Support
"I came to Beijing to ask for talent from my boss, but he insisted that I go on stage and give a speech, saying that I was the most suitable person to talk about Jinling. He also gave me a topic and outline, and asked me to talk about it in three points: the past, the present, and the future. He also specifically reminded me to be realistic and not to brag.

To be honest, I feel very nervous standing here. All of you here are leaders. How can I, a small factory director of Jinling County, dare to give a speech to all of you? It would be more appropriate to report. So I will start with the past.

Jinling County was established 1,300 years ago and has gone through many dynasties. It has a population of over 240,000, with an urban population of over 30,000. Its terrain is half mountainous and half plain, and its grain planting is half water and half dry. In terms of people's living standards, a small half of the population has enough food and clothing, while the majority of the population is still in poverty.

The people who have enough food and clothing are the urban population and some rich farmers with good land and high output. The poor are the areas with large population but little land and dry land. However, the county also has regulation to let the poor people take more responsibility for the county's public construction and give them more work points.

With the city's coordination and subsidies, the situation in Jinling is generally stable. People can't eat enough, but they're not starving. There are no new clothes, but there are clothes that can be worn by the whole family, not just one set as before. It's not possible to eat meat every day, but during festivals, you can eat meat.

Although we have not escaped poverty, the spirit of our Jinling people is not bad, our faith is firm, and we support the Party. As the saying goes, when the people have faith, the country has strength.

In 1954, the Four Modernizations were proposed, which became the highest directive of the country and the goal of the people of the whole country. Jinling County has also made efforts in this regard. However, due to the concentration of power and resources, and the order of development, there are relatively few things that have been achieved in Jinling.

But even so, since the founding of New China, Jinling has formed a complete basic industrial system. Although its development is indeed not good and its technological content is indeed not high, it basically meets the production and living needs of our county, and can also hand over part of its production income to the city.

There are relatively few places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and even fewer for our county, but there are always more than ten places a year. However, no one returns to Jinling, they all left.

I am not belittling them, because we are all revolutionary comrades, and they also contribute their strength and realize their value in various positions. But I am from Jinling, I grew up eating at other people's homes, and I have been fighting since I was a child, but the county government did not give up and took care of me. The old director Qi of the textile factory saw that I was a promising student and secured a university place for me.

So I went back to Jinling.

When I was in college, I was thinking about Jinling's way to wealth. I consulted many teachers and even communicated with provincial leaders when they visited the university. I also read many books at home and abroad, but finally I returned to the highest instructions of the four modernizations. At that time, I figured it out.

We are a large agricultural country, and our people still do not have enough to eat. Agricultural modernization is to liberate labor and improve productivity. The basic condition for implementing agricultural modernization is the construction of water conservancy projects, which we have been investing in and developing over the past few decades.

The first step in the advancement of agricultural modernization is to move from the traditional practice of men farming and women weaving, and the use of livestock, to mechanization. Large-scale use of agricultural machinery is required for tilling the soil, sowing, fertilizing, and harvesting. For agriculture to be mechanized, industrial modernization becomes necessary.

On the one hand, we need to develop highly efficient, sturdy and durable agricultural machinery. On the other hand, the development of industry requires a large number of laborers. At this time, the laborers freed up by agricultural modernization will have local jobs, and everyone will live a better life.

The modernization of national defense is also based on the modernization of industry. This is true for our atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, fighter planes, various cannons and shells, and the mechanization of our army.

At the same time, national defense is the foundation for safeguarding our national sovereignty and protecting the lives and property of our people. Only with a strong national defense can we develop modern agriculture and industry and allow our people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Here I want to say something off topic. I have been in Beijing for half a month and heard that some military projects are going to be cut. I would like to express my personal opposition. Our country has won its position through fighting. Even if our people have to eat coarse food and starve, we must strengthen national defense. We don’t have enough artillery shells, and they can’t hit far enough. We don’t have an aircraft carrier yet, and our fighter jets are not advanced enough.

I have always believed that in international exchanges, strength is the basis for China to speak, national defense is the real backing of diplomacy, dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon..."

Wang Yan paused for a moment and glanced at the large group of leaders below. Everyone was smiling and expressing their opinions to the people around them, while the leaders in the front row were sitting cross-legged and smoking peacefully.

After a while, the meeting room quieted down, and seeing that no one raised any opinions, Wang Yan continued to speak.

"The foundation of agricultural and national defense modernization is industry, and the foundation of industrial modernization is scientific and technological modernization. From the Stone Age in the past, to the application of fire, to various inventions and creations, and then to today's industrial age. The weapons of war have evolved from the original swords and spears to today's automatic rifles, airplanes and cannons, all of which are breakthroughs and applications of science and technology.

If we want to realize the modernization of science and technology, we need talents to do research. This involves our education route. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Education is a long-term plan. We need to understand what kind of talents we want and what kind of talents we need, so we must have a corresponding education system.

I was a worker-peasant-soldier college student, and I considered myself to be quite clever. After I understood the relationship between the four modernizations, I began to study industry, starting with our textile factory.

Starting from chemical fibers to products with wide applications in various industries such as clothing, plastics, and masks, I decided to start with textile machinery based on domestic and international conditions as well as our factory's conditions.

Our water jet looms sold well, and with the funds, the county supported our development, and we had policies. Focusing on machinery production, we annexed the county's agricultural machinery factory...

Later, in order to extend the industrial chain, control the entire textile process from the source to the final product, maximize profits to the greatest extent possible, and solve the chemical fiber problem at the source, we acquired chemical plants. To solve the material requirements for machinery production, we acquired steel mills, copper and aluminum and other raw material processing factories. To solve the final product problem at the end, we acquired shoe and clothing factories and paper mills.

In this way, the entire chain is developing in a coordinated manner. We have made some breakthroughs in chemical fiber research and developed new materials. Our steel, copper and aluminum have made great progress in various parameters, and the performance of our textile machinery is narrowing the gap with foreign products.

We can produce all kinds of textiles that are needed. I can say with certainty that there is no textile in the world that we cannot produce. The only considerations are cost and profit.

In fact, if we rely solely on the development of the textile industry chain, as long as it develops for ten or eight years, there will be no problem in feeding the 260,000 people in our county.

It's just that we are not foreign capitalists, we are a state-owned company in the county, and everything we do is for the people of the county. We can't just develop the textile industry and ignore other needs of the people.

At the same time, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace. We should prevent the textile industry from not making money, which will directly affect the livelihood of the entire county. Therefore, we must have a sense of crisis, walk on multiple legs, and develop the entire industry.

Therefore, the various factories in our county are not only for the textile industry, like steel mills, we have improved the performance of materials, and the excess capacity will be sold to make more money. In order to solve the problem of eating meat, sugar and fruit in the county, we have developed breeding farms, plantations, meat factories and canning factories.

In order to solve the medical problem, we invited experts from the city and province to come to the county regularly for training and surgery. All our foreign exchange earnings were turned over in the first year. We retained some foreign exchange last year, but it was all used to import foreign medical equipment and medical devices.

At the same time, in order to provide housing for the people, we vigorously develop construction...

As for agricultural issues that are related to people's livelihood, our county has already had the foundation for agricultural modernization. In the past two years, water conservancy has been our largest investment besides employee housing. We have built several water diversion projects, which have covered half of the county's arid areas.

We have never given up on the research and production of agricultural machinery. After more than two years, with breakthroughs in design and materials, we can now produce small and large agricultural machinery with various functions and have expanded the scale of production. It is expected that within five years, agricultural mechanization will be achieved throughout the county.

This also involves the direction of our county's agricultural development model. The year before last, Xiaogang Village contracted land to each household, and last year, a village called Xiaoleijia in our county also distributed land to villagers.

We sent some more farm machinery to Xiao Lei's family, and the village's labor force participated in the county's public construction and the construction of staff housing in our factory. Although the wages and benefits are not as good as those of our employees, they are much better than before.

The other villages in the county saw this and were tempted. For a while, they all clamored to divide the land. They didn't want anything else but to have the land belong to their own family, which was of course a good thing. But the fact is that the more people in the family, the more land they have. Children born after the land is divided will have no land.

Perhaps the country's family planning policy is based on this consideration. With fewer children in the future, there will be enough land. At the same time, there will be enough time to develop industry and commerce.

But we don't care about the national situation, but the situation in the county is different. Because in the past three years, people from the countryside have been continuously absorbed into the city as workers, and those who come out no longer participate in the village's distribution, and the per capita income of the rural population has greatly increased.

The overall plan of our county is to absorb all the rural population and make all the people in the county employees.

So last November, our county held a special meeting to discuss the issue. In the end, it was decided that except for Xiao Lei's family, the contract responsibility system would no longer be implemented. Instead, our Jinling Group would set up a related agricultural company to nationalize all the land in the county and cultivate it in a unified manner.

At that time, the workers who farm will be transferred from the original farmers. They will be taught to plant in a refined manner. The company will set up a relevant agricultural research project team to conduct various targeted research and prevent pests and diseases. The company will pay wages, subsidies and housing to the workers. They will be in the fields when they are busy and in the city when they are free... Everything will be borne by Jinling Group. They don't have to worry about the harvest or retirement, and they will have a wealth of entertainment activities. At present, there are three theaters and three cinemas in our county...

In terms of welfare, we also provide care for the people, such as the orphans, the disabled, the injured at work, the families of heroes and martyrs, the families of meritorious service, etc., all of whom receive subsidies.

At present, our Jinling Group has nearly 40,000 employees. When the hydropower and thermal power plants are completed, the network is successfully established, and the electricity problem is solved, our development will be accelerated again...

By that time, we will have achieved socialism in its infancy..."

Wang Yan talked a lot, much more than he had talked about in college. The situation in Jinling was of course the main part, and he talked about it from beginning to end. He also interspersed his predictions on future technological development, looking forward to Jinling's future industrial upgrading and industrial transfer, keeping high-profit industries in Jinling and moving low-profit industries elsewhere, vigorously developing new technologies, and actively participating in international competition...

I talked for two hours before concluding this report.

This meeting was specially arranged for him because people knew that he was a good speaker and had unique views on the current world and domestic reforms. His speeches had been compiled into text and were recognized by the leaders, and many of his words were even included in internal references.

So, taking advantage of his visit to Beijing, the leaders took some time out to ask him to make a report and let him speak in detail.

Of course, speaking well is definitely not as good as doing well. Coincidentally, at the moment of national reform, if you look around the country, except for those large policy-based monopoly state-owned enterprises, none of them can compare to the achievements made by Jinling so far.

Only when there is real evidence can what you say be credible; this is called seeking truth from facts.

After finishing this report, Wang Yan found the relevant leader and asked, "Leader, is my work report okay?"

"You are really brave," the leader said with a smile, "You said a lot of outrageous things today, and some of your views are a bit extreme. From today on, you will be criticized for being left-wing."

"The leader told me to speak my mind, so I just told him the truth. I saw that the leaders were all smiling happily."

"That's just to laugh at your youth and foolishness. Do you think you're the only smart person?"

"I don't care. I have to say what I want to say. It's impossible for our party to not allow people to speak, right? Besides, I'm just a small factory director. So many senior leaders can't argue with me, right? If it's useful, they can listen. If it's not useful, just laugh it off. I'm not a big mouth. I don't shout everywhere to annoy people."

"If you continue to give speeches in Beijing, you will become a real big mouth."

"Then please take care of me, a small factory manager, and assign 2,000 college students to Jinling next year. I will never come out to fool college students again. In fact, I don't want to give speeches everywhere, just like a monkey. College students will laugh at me."

The leader laughed and shook his head. "You are dreaming if you want 2,000. There are people everywhere in the country who are not needed. How can we give you so much? Besides, you have fooled so many people, but it is really useless? You can still get some money. You are so inspiring. If I were fifty years younger and listened to you, I would want to follow you.

We discussed it before and decided to give you 500 people, 400 engineering students, 100 liberal arts students, 200 undergraduate students, and 300 junior college students. These 500 people are fixed, and there will be this many people in each class. There will be two classes graduating at the beginning and end of next year, and we can give you 1,000 people. After all, your factory has become what it is today by your own efforts. With 500 people every year, plus the college students from your county, it will be enough for you. "

"The leader is right. I still have confidence in this."

"You are now a recognized genius. You are good at machinery, researching steel materials, doing chemical engineering, and doing construction. I heard that you also built an electronics factory. Do you understand this too?"

"I don't understand. I just follow and learn. I'm jealous of the good sales of electronic watches. Eventually I want to study computers. I think that's the future."

"You don't have to think so. Our country has invested a lot in this area." The leader patted Wang Yan on the shoulder and said, "You work hard. We all want to see if you can really lead Jinling towards socialism. We old guys should also absorb your advanced experience."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "The leader is teasing me. How can Jinling's situation be compared with that of the country? The country has too many places to take care of. After all, we are a country with a large population, and it is not easy to deal with. Jinling relies on advanced technology to make money from other regions or countries to subsidize people's welfare expenses. The most typical ones affected in China are the warp and weft. Our looms have taken away their market.

Therefore, our route is very clear, which is to continuously develop new technologies and constantly surpass other countries. No one can catch up with us. We always maintain high profits and invest in public construction and welfare spending in Jinling. In this way, we can realize socialism in Jinling.

The money we earn is like a big river to Jinling, a trickle to the province, and just a drop of water to the country, a drop in the bucket. "

"You said it very well, and your understanding is very clear. Why didn't you say it just now?"

"It is useless and it also dampens people's enthusiasm. Socialism is a long-term cause, and comrades still need to work hard..."

The leader laughed and said, "Okay, go back and finish building the building quickly. When the college students assign it to you, it will be a big joke if you can't do what you said."

"Okay, thank you for your support, I'll go now..."

Wang Yan greeted the leader, but then watched him walk away before leaving...

"You're leaving again..." Song Yunping hugged Wang Yan reluctantly.

"Next year, there will be a thousand college students in our county. Add to that the ones I have persuaded from various universities, and there will definitely be several hundred more. The mission has been accomplished."

Wang Yan continued to play with the big baby. "It's only a few months away. Aren't you going back for the New Year? After this New Year, in another year and a half, you will graduate from college. Just hold on a little longer, and you will see the dawn of victory soon. I have already thought of your work arrangements. The physics you studied is the right place to study semiconductors. By then, you will be the director of an electronics factory."

"Just become a leader when you go back? Not to mention whether I can convince the people, I can't manage them either."

"You are my wife, how dare anyone not listen to you?"

“Aren’t you a dictator?”

"It depends on the situation. You have to say useful things and do useful things. Whoever doesn't want to be useful should go and repair the water conservancy projects in our county..."

"Then whether it is useful or not is still up to you, right?"

"You understand what power is." Wang Yan smiled...

Thinking that they had not seen each other for a long time, Song Yunping insisted on having another round with Wang Yan and talked about a lot of random things.

The next day, Wang Yan had dinner with Song Yunping, sent her back to school, and boarded the train back to Jinling with the harvest of this trip...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
