Chapter 286: Crossing the River by Feeling Little Life (First update, please subscribe)
"Why did Mr. Chen invest in the radio factory?"
In a small factory in Kuching Industrial Zone, Li Yi'an asked somewhat curiously.
This Mr. Chen is an investor from a Siamese overseas Chinese businessman. The factory he invested in is very niche - radios.
"Electron tube,"
Chen Kang replied respectfully.
“Mr. Li, because Nanhai Company can provide vacuum tubes, that’s why I chose to manufacture radios.”
This is the industrial agglomeration effect. When an industry develops in a certain place, it will interact with each other. Multiple industries with high correlation will actively concentrate around them. Eventually, the so-called industrial center was formed.
In the future, Kuching will not only be another petrochemical center in Borneo, but also an electronics industry center. Only by focusing on both light and heavy aspects can we achieve long-term development. This was also deliberately planned by Li Yi'an when formulating the industrial plan, drawing on the experience and lessons of another world. The main purpose was to avoid industrial concentration, which would cause industrial decline and lead to the economic decline of the city or region.
So, Li Yian chose industrial decentralization, dispersing various industries in several key cities, allowing these cities to diversify their economies. It is also conducive to regional economic development. In another world, the dominance of one company like the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is essentially caused by uneven regional economic development. Through reasonable industrial and educational layout, Borneo can completely avoid the dominance of one company in a certain region, thereby ensuring an economic balance between regions.
Of course, Kuching will not be the only electronics industry center in Borneo. Corresponding enterprises will be established in Sandakan, Balikpapan and Banyan in the future. This is both for internal competition and to maintain regional economic and industrial balance.
"So how is the sales situation of your products here now?"
"We sold 500 radios last week."
After thinking about it, Chen Kang said,
“Although the market for radios is not big right now, I have confidence in Borneo. The wages of workers here are high and radios will definitely be used by every household in the future. Sales will increase soon. After all, Nowadays, the office is building houses everywhere. After everyone has a home, who doesn’t want to add something to the house? ”
His words immediately reached Li Yian's heart.
That’s right, who doesn’t want to add something to their home?
This is true for people all over the world.
Why this time is so important is because in the next few years, tens of millions of families will appear in Europe and the United States, and they will all buy things for their small families.
In fact, the fashion, home decoration, small household appliances, and even furniture in the system mall can be used as samples.
Compared with other complex industrial products, whether it is home decoration or small household appliances, they are all products with relatively simple technology. They are also labor-intensive industries and can provide a large number of jobs. Although the latter has a certain technical requirements, There are certain requirements, but after all, it is not the chip era. It is essentially a product of the mechanical era, just a stack of several electron tubes.
The technical requirements are not high, but the profits are very considerable.
In terms of development path, what did Japan rely on to rise after World War II?
Relying on the basic national policy of "building a nation through trade", in order to promote this national policy, Japanese officials have carefully planned the steps for its industrial revitalization. The focus is on the development of labor-intensive light industry and light machinery industry. Specifically, the first is the textile industry. In this field, Japan has favorable conditions such as traditional technological advantages. The second is the groceries industry, including toys, decorations, bicycles, rubber products, light bulbs and other groceries. Their low prices and wide variety made them once the main force in exports.
From the 1950s to the early 1960s, the export of light industry and light machinery industrial products accounted for a major proportion of Japan's export structure and became Japan's main source of foreign exchange earnings. They are like two engines driving Japan's rise.
During this process, Japan also began their industrial upgrading. This time the upgrade was to small household appliances. Just a dozen years later, Japanese household appliances swept the world. At the same time, heavy industries such as Japanese steel, automobiles, and shipbuilding also rose one after another.
Recalling Japan's development path, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself.
"Okay, what is needed now is to copy. Not only do we need to get all the products in the system mall and copy them all, but we can also...cross the river by touching Little Japan!" Little Japan crosses the river!
For now, Little Japan is indeed the best target to copy. Of course, it is just copying the path of Japan's rise.
After all, to a certain extent, Borneo is very similar to post-war Japan - industrial backwardness,
from textiles to home appliances, from home appliances to steel, from steel to cars, from cars to ships, Coupled with the chemical industry and machinery manufacturing industry promoted by the textile, home appliance and other industries, through such interlocking development and planning, the so-called "Miracle of Mount Fuji" was finally achieved.
“From now on, there will be no more “Miracle of Mount Fuji”!”
Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Yian said proudly.
“It’s not a bad feeling to cross the river with your hands and feet!”
In addition to sighing, Li Yi'an also felt a little melancholy, because until now, no good news had come from the north. The Allied attack on Japan was still continuing, and there was even no news from Wu Jianxiong.
To what extent have the Yankees developed the atomic bomb now?
When will Xiaoli surrender?
I have to say, the little devils are so damn stubborn. Even last winter, thousands of people starved to death every day in Japan. They did not give in. Now the Allies have landed and occupied half of Kyushu. , they still did not surrender, but continued to resist. According to reports from the Allies, they had wiped out more than two million enemy troops in Kyushu.
If nothing else, you can feel the tragedy of the war just from the numbers.
However, all this is just right. In Li Yi'an's view, the longer Xiaori resists, the greater the casualties will be, and the Allies will also pay more, but this also means that the Allies will punish Japan even more in the future. serious.
Putting down the notes in his hand, Li Yian picked up the intelligence sent by the Pacific Allied Command's Liaison Office in Sandakan. When he looked through the war information, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised. degree, chuckled.
"It seems that the Allied forces will almost capture the entire Kyushu this summer, but I don't know if Nagasaki can catch up with that "fat man"."
Who is the fat man? It's the atomic bomb.
It is not clear whether Nagasaki will be kicked hard by the "fat man", but what is certain is that in all likelihood, Japan will not make up its mind to surrender until it is hit by an atomic bomb.
In fact, Li Yian doesn't care when Japan surrenders. What he cares about is when he can move to Japan.
What does Japan have?
It is not about how many machines Japan has, or how advanced the equipment is. What is important is that if you want to stop Japan, you must not only copy Japan's rise, but also have a more critical point - —Destroy Japanese industry.
Who is Borneo’s biggest competitor on its rise?
That’s Japan!
Compared with Borneo, the Japanese generally have a higher level of education, and had basically completed industrialization before the war. Even if the factory was severely damaged by the US bombing, the main body did not lose much, and the personnel were still there, so in In terms of manufacturing efficiency and even technology, Borneo has an absolute advantage. If they are easily allowed to regain production capacity, this will threaten the rise of Borneo.
Not only is it a threat, Japan, as a competitor, will compete with Borneo in various industries such as textiles, daily hybrids, and home appliances. This kind of competition is undoubtedly not conducive to the development of Borneo. .
So, from a development perspective, the threat of Japan must be eliminated.
The best way is to completely destroy their industries and evacuate their factories...
The setting is wrong,,, there are only three updates today
