1987: Sleepless Tonight

Yan Mingchang took two puffs of cigarette and looked at the street scene in front of Qingchuan Hotel.

But in fact, he didn't see the scenery in his eyes, but was thinking about what Lu Hao just said.

After a while, he turned to look at Lu Hao, "Boss Lu, you seem to be very wary of foreigners?"

"Yes, because the foreigner's style of doing things is very realistic. When you are weak, he will directly attack you and use violent means to snatch your assets and your wealth. When you are strong, he will fight with you. It emphasizes the need to use formal means and fair competition, but in fact it is all nonsense. It is said to be fair competition, but in fact it also hides dirty means, which is to take advantage of your shortcomings of insufficient funds, insufficient talent reserves, and insufficient technology. You deceived people into lameness." Lu Hao said.

"It says that it provides technical support and funds, and you don't need to invest too much energy in this industry. You can completely buy their products. But in fact, it makes people cut off their own hands and feet. In the future, they can sanction you at any time and take advantage of you at any time."

“So, when it comes to key core technologies, we can’t stop working on them just because they require a lot of money, a lot of talent, and a lot of time and cost. We must increase investment, sustainably invest, and invest in a long-term plan. , fight a protracted war, fight a long-term war.”

"The core technology is in our own hands, so that it will not be manipulated by others."

The Internet, coupled with the advancement of transportation technology, will turn the earth into a village. Trade will be very frequent and fast, and cooperation will be very close. However, such closeness, which seems like a village transaction scene, is indeed an undercurrent. Once you give up on your own initiative, Core technologies will be taken advantage of by the other party under various excuses.

Just like nuclear weapons, some countries believed the bullshit of some major powers and voluntarily gave up the research of nuclear weapons and placed their hope in a few treaties. As a result, they were beaten. When conflicts occurred, they had no means to deter the other party and were bullied arbitrarily.

The previous treaty was nothing more than an empty document.

"What Boss Lu said does make sense. It's like nuclear weapons. When we didn't have this thing, we were threatened from time to time and were in fear all day long. But when we had this thing, the situation immediately changed. The other party I am willing to negotiate with you and will not clamor at the negotiation table." Wang Xiaohui also nodded in agreement.

"Jiangcheng is not as good as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but our Jiangcheng also has its own advantages. There are many universities and many talents. It is a pity that most of the talents have left. The main reason is that there are relatively few good enterprises here. If there were more enterprises, If it is famous all over the country and even in the world, then the talents will definitely not go abroad and will be willing to stay with us." Jiang Ren nodded, "And a good company, a company that is famous all over the country and even the world, will definitely be We need support from the government.”

"We cannot waste such a good advantage, and we cannot allow all the talents trained by the school to go outside." Wang Guosheng also said.

Several people were a little excited after what Lu Hao said.

Thinking about Jiangcheng's possible brighter future.

"Boss Lu, do you have any good suggestions?" Yan Mingchang asked.

Then he looked around and said, "It's okay for us to stand here all the time. Find a teahouse, drink some tea, and talk slowly. Boss Lu, do you have time?"

Originally, Yan Mingchang was ready to leave, but Lu Hao sent it out and only said a few words, but while chatting, he wanted to find a place to talk more.

"Mayor Yan, you have a meeting to attend later." Wang Xiaohui reminded from the side.

After becoming a leader, there were many large and small meetings every day, and the schedule was very tight. Wang Xiaohui thought Yan Mingchang had forgotten, so he reminded him.

"I have not forgotten this meeting later in the day. It was an economic meeting in the city. It is a commonplace thing. It has been held many times in the past, but it is difficult to make substantial progress. There are other leaders present, and my absence is not good. It doesn’t matter much, I’ll just let someone tell me the details later, but I think what Boss Lu talked about is very important, so I definitely have to talk to Boss Lu first.” Yan Mingchang said .

"Before communicating with Boss Lu, I always thought that when it comes to attracting investment and bringing in foreign capital, it is mainly to contact foreigners, mainly to contact businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and coax them. We will provide various discounts here to let them Just provide funds, people and technology, and set up a factory here in Jiangcheng, that's it."

"But looking at it now, this idea is misunderstood and wrong. You must have a sufficient understanding of these investors and know their inner thoughts, so that you can negotiate with the other party in a more targeted manner and win more More people come to invest.”

"Inviting investment and boosting the economy cannot be done behind closed doors. In a conference room, a few laymen listen to a few economic theoretical experts and talk about what is written on paper. They must also combine it with reality, communicate with businessmen, understand needs, understand The current situation is that this will do the trick. Just talking to Boss Lu for a while is more useful than holding ten meetings."

Nothing should be done behind closed doors.

Yan Mingchang is the leader. When he says this, no one objects.

There was a teahouse nearby, and several people went directly to the nearby teahouse without driving.

I asked for a private room, made a pot of tea, and sat down to continue chatting.

Yan Mingchang sighed, "Jiangcheng is not bad among so many provincial capitals across the country, and the policy support it receives is not low. In order to allow Jiangcheng to have greater autonomy, the above even placed Jiangcheng Among cities under independent planning, with the status of independent planning, the resources, rights and autonomy obtained will be greater. Moreover, Jiangcheng has shipping on the inland river of the Yangtze River, which naturally has more advantages. In addition, Many railways that span the east, west, north and south also use Jiangcheng as a hub. It can be said that Jiangcheng’s geographical advantages are unique.”

"But attracting investment, including business development, is still difficult. We can't see much improvement in our finances, and our wallets are always empty."

Finance is used to pay salaries to administrative staff and to develop various public affairs. Taxation is the main source of local finance revenue.

Without companies and businesses, taxes will be low.

And it’s really hard to do things without money.

"Jiangcheng is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and its geographical location is indeed good." Wang Xiaohui nodded, "In addition to these, Jiangcheng City also has very rich educational resources. Although there are no well-known universities in the country, the number of schools and the number of students The number of universities, including the top 10 universities in the country, can be ranked nationally, and it is still at the forefront."

Jiangcheng has advantages, but how can it use its advantages to play a big role?

This is the difficulty.
