King of Industry

In the office, Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian, and Li Ru were talking about their understanding and cognition of the industrial system of Western countries in a leisurely manner.

After hearing his words, Li Kejian sighed, How difficult it is to create a complete industrial system...

Especially now that the industrial competition among countries in the world is so fierce, it is really difficult to stand out from the crowd surrounded by so many industrial powers.

Zhao Guoyang nodded in approval and said: What Mr. Li said is that China is still unable to establish a complete industrial system for the time being, but we can definitely gather the strength of the whole country and strive to give the heavy industry system built!

Hearing this, Li Ru understood a little bit.

He blinked his eyes and said: Researcher Zhao, what do you mean, we Huaxia can seek breakthroughs in the major field of heavy industry now, and then slowly move closer to the long-term goal?

Yes, that's right.

Zhao Guoyang waved his arms and continued to explain: As early as the eighteenth century, after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, Western developed countries took the lead in establishing a heavy industry system.

The establishment of this system has enabled these countries to occupy an advantage in a world system close to free trade. Moreover, this position can also be consolidated through multi-party trade.

Zhao Guoyang paused, and continued: After World War II, except for these few western powers, no other country has been able to establish an independent heavy industry system.

Therefore, in these countries, the most powerful economic groups are comprador economic groups that organize the export of raw materials and simple labor force of the country, and the import of advanced industrial products.

In the short run, selling more resources and labor into the free trade system and importing more advanced products does improve profits.

But from a long-term perspective, backward countries without a heavy industrial system will lose their industrial base step by step, and will eventually be led by the nose by Western countries.

Zhao Guoyang's narration made Li Kejian and Li Ru fall into deep thought.

Indeed, during China's reform and opening up, China has made great strides in narrowing the gap with Western countries in many aspects.

But in terms of heavy industry, the country's foundation is still too weak. Wanting to catch up is not something that happens overnight.

After a long silence in the office, Li Kejian sighed quietly and said, Guoyang, what you said should really be talked about at a national industrial seminar. It's so thought-provoking!

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly said a few words of humility.

On the other hand, when Li Ru felt Zhao Guoyang's far-reaching vision, he asked casually: Researcher Zhao, you are so familiar with the industrial system of countries in the world and our China. So do you have any way to make us shrink as quickly as possible? What is the gap with Western countries?

Uh, there's no way to talk about it. It's just some personal opinions, which may not be accurate. Zhao Guoyang hesitated.

Hearing what he said, Li Kejian also became energetic.

The boss moved a little, changed his sitting posture and said, Guoyang, don't be modest, just say what you think, I don't know you yet?

When Mr. Li said this, Zhao Guoyang felt a little embarrassed. If he didn't say anything else, he felt as if he was making things up on purpose.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Guoyang said slowly: I think, in the face of this era of rapid technological development, we Huaxia should advocate a new industrialization model.

A new industrialization model? What do you mean? Li Ru was startled when he heard this.

The so-called new industrialization model is to insist on promoting industrialization with informatization and promoting informatization with industrialization. To put it bluntly, it is an industrialization with high technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution, and full play of human resource advantages. the way.

Uh, the concept proposed by Guoyang is rather novel... Li Kejian stroked his beard and said.

Tell me and Director Li Ru in detail what are the characteristics of this new industrialization model. Compared with our past traditional industrialization model, what advantages does it have?

After Li Kejian finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang straightened his body and said: First of all, this new industrialization model is driven by informatization, which is conducive to the realization of industrialization with leapfrog development.

Judging from the current development of the world's major industrial powers, they have gradually abandoned the original large-scale, large-scale investment model, and instead rely on technological progress and innovation as the driving force, focusing on technological progress and improving the quality of labor.

Such changes enable them to strive for a larger market share with high-quality and low-cost commodities in the fierce market competition.

Zhao Guoyang paused, and continued: In addition, this new type of industrialization model emphasizes ecological construction and environmental protection, and emphasizes handling the relationship between economic development and population, resources, and the environment.

Therefore, in terms of reducing resource consumption and reducing environmental pollution, this model can provide stronger technical support, thereby greatly enhancing domestic sustainable development capabilities and economic stamina.

The last point is even more obvious. It is this new industrialization model, which can give full play to the advantages of human resources.

Zhao Guoyang said earnestly: Since the resumption of the college entrance examination system, the number of college students enrolled in our country has been steadily increasing every year.

In my opinion, it may not take ten or eight years for the number of college students in our country to grow by leaps and bounds. After all, our population base is here...

Well, I probably understand what you mean, Guoyang!

Hearing this, Li Kejian nodded in agreement and said, You think our country's talent pool is a potential advantage that can be tapped vigorously, right?

Zhao Guoyang said with a hmm: Yes, Mr. Li. Let's say we are Jinling University of Technology. I just graduated two years ago, and the number of students enrolled in our School of Mechanical Engineering this year is already twice what I was then.

Moreover, this number is still increasing. That is to say, in the future, China's biggest advantage over Western countries lies in human resources, and the promotion of the new industrialization model is undoubtedly in line with our China. Advantage……

After Zhao Guoyang finished his speech, he sat on the sidelines, waiting for Mr. Li and Director Li Ru to digest what he had said.

After a while, Li Kejian finally said: Guoyang, your demonstration of the new industrialization model just now is really refreshing.

Yes, our country has struggled for nearly half a century to achieve industrialization.

In the past few decades, our country has built a backward agricultural country into what it is now, with an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system, and a small number of them have reached the modern level. This is not easy. .”

However, compared with Western industrial powers, our country's industrialization task is far from being completed.

Li Kejian sighed and said, Overall, our country's industrialization is still at a relatively low stage...

Hearing Mr. Li's emotion, Director Li Ru nodded solemnly and said: What Mr. Li said is that from the current point of view, the level of agricultural modernization and rural urbanization in our country is still very low. It accounts for about 50% of the total population.”

In addition, our industrialization structure is at a low level, and our competitiveness is not strong. The technical level of industry, especially manufacturing, is not high. Pretty big gap.

In the final analysis, if our industrialization task cannot be completed in one day, the country's modernization will be difficult to achieve. If we want to occupy a place among the world's industrial powerhouses, we have a long way to go...

After hearing Li Ru's emotion, Li Kejian nodded silently.

Turning his head and glanced at Zhao Guoyang, who had a calm face, he smiled and said, Director Li Ru, I agree with everything you said. The gap in industrial modernization between us and Western countries does exist.

However, you have to see that our future is still very promising.

Li Kejian pointed at Zhao Guoyang with his finger and said, It seems that young talents like Guoyang are emerging. In the future, when they grow up, our country's industrial modernization will not be far away!

Yes, yes, I completely agree with Mr. Li's words! Li Ru repeatedly echoed.

It's just that there are too few young talents at Researcher Zhao's level. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as rare...

Naturally! Li Kejian nodded lightly, To be honest, I have lived most of my life. This is the first time I have seen a young man like Guoyang who has such a wide and deep understanding of industry.

That's right, I went to Czechoslovakia with Researcher Zhao, and I was completely shocked by him. Li Ru echoed.

It's just about industry. Researcher Zhao has unique insights in many other fields. This is the feeling I share with Directors Sun Zhi and Du Yitao.

Hearing Li Ru's solemn words, Li Kejian glanced at Zhao Guoyang meaningfully.

In fact, he also heard this when talking with Minister Fang Xuesen in private.

Both felt that Zhao Guoyang, a young man, seemed to have an innate keen sense.

In many things, he takes a much longer view than others.

Being flattered by these two bosses, although Zhao Guoyang was a little hot, he could only reluctantly listen.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang has a very clear judgment on his ability.

In the general direction, he has the memory of his previous life, so naturally there will be no problem.

However, when it comes to specific details and implementation links, professionals in various industries still need to implement them.

At best, I can play a role in coming up with ideas and broadening my thinking.
