Chapter 1081 National Prosperity Plan (Third update, please subscribe)
What is real help?
Li Yian, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, took a puff of cigarette and started thinking seriously. He seemed to be really thinking about how to help developing countries.
This enthusiasm is sincere and unreserved.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yian slowly said:
"As the saying goes, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!' We must start from talent training and equipment construction at the same time to help them build an industrial system, at least a preliminary industrial system."
This… …Is it still Your Excellency?
Li Guoren is really a little suspicious. As an old friend, he knows your Excellency well. Your greatest characteristic is that... he is a typical imperialist, or Darwinist. He now mentioned this Help, it sounds a bit too weird.
Because he has a close personal relationship with you, he often speaks directly and without any taboos. At this time, Li Guoren had already doubted your intentions.
You must have good intentions!
I know him!
He has always done nothing without benefit - helping foreigners?
Is it possible?
Either there is a conspiracy or a trap, that's for sure!
"Your Excellency, this does not seem to be of any benefit to us. After all, the purpose of providing loans is to open up the market and export industrial products."
Hearing Li Guoren's doubts, Li Yian said:
"I know, but this does not hinder it! Not only does it not hinder it, but to a certain extent, it will help our export of industrial products."< br>
After a slight pause, Li Yian asked.
"Guoren, you know about chemical fertilizers, right?"
"Uh..."
Li Guoren simply chose silence.
“Chemical fertilizers probably entered Tangshan in the 1920s, but until the end of the 1940s, only a few people had the habit of using chemical fertilizers. The annual import volume was hundreds of thousands of tons, but compared with the 1930s, In the 1990s, the usage has increased several times. This is the case in Tangshan and other countries. This is especially true for families. In backward areas, the use of industrial products is lagging behind. What we need is to help them establish consumption habits. "
"Consumption habits? "
Li Guoren has a dream. If Zuo Xiaohan is here, he will definitely understand Li Yi'an's thoughts.
“Yes, it is consumption habits, and the establishment of this consumption habit has a certain relationship with the basic industrial system we helped them establish.”
After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Yi'an looked a little proud and continued:
"Guoren, now we in Nanyang are also a big country in the equipment industry. Ten years ago, all industrial equipment needed to be imported. And now? We are already able to produce large-scale cutting-edge industrial equipment. In terms of industrial equipment, we are both buyers and sellers, but if you take a closer look, how many large-scale industrial equipment have we sold in the past few years?
"Your Excellency, large industrial equipment is expensive and only a few countries can afford it, such as Tangshan, but Tangshan is more inclined to introduce Soviet and Russian equipment."
Li Guoren added:
"So large industrial equipment is more susceptible to political influence."
"Politics!"
Li Yian said:
"It will indeed affect many things, but - what if we give them a reason that they cannot refuse?"
" The reason why you can't refuse? "
"Yes, it's like what I said before - help them establish a basic industrial system. For those politicians who are determined to make the country rich and powerful, will they refuse? "
Li Yian waved the cigar between his fingers and said:
"How should I put it? We in Nanyang are indeed a big country in the equipment industry. We can build everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground and swims in the water. Moreover, the technical level of our equipment industry is not far behind that of Western countries. This is not bragging, this is a well-known fact!”
In fact, this is what Li Yian is most proud of, Nanyang's industrial development path is somewhat similar to that of Dongda. Dongda has received all-round help from the Soviet Union. During the First Five-Year Plan, 3,133 Soviet experts participated in 156 aid projects at Dongda, covering all aspects of Dongda's industry. Departments, from talent training, equipment construction, industrial standards, etc. It is with this kind of hand-in-hand help that Dongda was able to establish an industrial system in a short period of time.
What about Nanyang?
Relying on more than 40,000 German, Italian and Japanese experts and scholars, as well as machines dismantled from Germany, Japan, Italy and other countries, plus industrial equipment imported from the United States, a set of industrial System, unlike the thousands of Soviet experts in Tangshan, these intellectual talents in Nanyang basically stayed in Nanyang in the end. They have long become a part of Nanyang.
In addition to these experts and engineers, Nanyang has even introduced a large number of skilled workers from Germany, Italy, France and Japan. It is precisely because of this that Nanyang has actually "transferred" the German industrial system, at least its industrial system part of.
After years of digestion and absorption, Nanyang has jumped to the forefront of Western countries in terms of industrial scale, product quality or technological content.
That’s why Li Yian dares to brag about this, because it is a fact. "But what? On the other hand, Nanyang is not a traditional industrial country, so our product exports are subject to certain restrictions. This cannot be compensated by us putting on a traditional German brand."
There are many German brands in Nanyang, such as BMW and Zeiss, all of which are at least a hundred years old. Why should we "inherit" these German brands? It is not that Li Yi'an worships foreigners, but to facilitate exports.
In another world, why is Dongda’s Huhai Automobile always the No. 1 automobile exporter in Dongda? Just because the "MG" and "Roewe" it acquired are traditional British brands, although their sales are average in the East, they are very popular in Europe.
This is brand recognition.
Compared to a brand new brand that has no recognition, people are more willing to trust old brands, and this is also the reason why Nanyang products sell well because of their high brand recognition.
“After all, ordinary consumers are limited by their cognition. They will recognize Nanyang’s German brands, but it is not so easy for national official projects. They understand that Nanyang is Nanyang and Germany is Germany. Therefore, we How to break the circle? ”
“Loans”
Li Guoren said directly.
“For now, this is the best way.”
Li Yian nodded.
“This is indeed a good way, but it cannot just rely on loans. Loans only pave the way. In the end, we still have to rely on the market...”
I almost have a plan in mind. Li Yian, continued:
"Although our technical level is not low, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is still unrealistic to compete with traditional industrial powers such as the United States and Britain in terms of high-end equipment. However, we can consider another market-that is, the mid- to low-end The equipment market,”
“Mid- and low-end equipment Equipment? ”
“It cannot be said to be low-end or mid-range equipment. It should be small and medium-sized equipment. Only large countries can afford large equipment, and one set of large equipment can be used to buy five or ten sets of small and medium-sized equipment. equipment, for developing countries that are short of funds, choose such equipment "It is very wise to prepare equipment."
After thinking about it, Li Yian added specifically:
"Of course, we cannot blindly sell low-end and mid-range equipment, as this will lower the price of "Made in Nanyang". style, after all, the business card of Nanyang Manufacturing has always been "good quality at a good price" "Not cheap." Therefore, we cannot directly appear as a mid- to low-end equipment provider, because if we do so, it will make people look down upon, and secondly, it will leave a low-end impression, which may even affect To the product image we have been deliberately creating. ”
In terms of building product image, Li Yian can be said to have spared no effort, from acquiring a large number of German, French and British brands to focusing on quality, and then giving up low-end clothing and moving it to Malaya, Surabaya, Mindanao, Kyushu Even in places such as Bay Island, the purpose is to ensure that the image of Nanyang Made in high-end products appears in front of the world. The strong character that has been established with great difficulty will naturally not be easily broken.
"Don't appear directly as a mid- to low-end equipment provider?"
Li Guoren said with a confused look:
"What image is that?"
Taking a puff of cigar and blowing out the smoke, Li Yian said slowly:
"My idea is not very mature yet. I think we should not simply sell equipment. What we have to sell is solutions."
"Solutions?"
Li Guoren I immediately became interested. This word is relatively new to this era.
“Yes, that’s the solution.”
Li Yi’an said,
"Let's put it this way, except for the United States and Western European countries, the vast majority of the world are developing countries. For developing countries, if they want to develop, they must establish a basic industrial system. Not only do they lack equipment Manufacturing capabilities, and lack of system integration capabilities. They are not good at analyzing their own needs, or in other words, they do not understand how to develop their own industries. They tend to be greedy for big things and are influenced by European and American manufacturers to buy a large number of their own. After purchasing the high-end equipment, we found that due to technical and other reasons, we were unable to form our own industrial production capacity. What we have to do is exactly the opposite. Tailor-made for them, providing relatively cheap but low-tech equipment that is suitable for them, no!"
Li Yian emphasized his tone and said:
"It is not to provide equipment. What about providing a solution? It is not a solution for industrial equipment, but... a national industrialization solution to help them systematically plan a solution for a basic industrial system. To be precise, let them With a small amount of money, we can realize the basic industrialization of the country. It should be called the national prosperity plan! ”
The national prosperity plan!
When he said these words, Li Yian himself felt a little excited. When does a country launch a national prosperity and strength program when it helps another country?
This is simply something tailor-made for those developing countries. As long as you copy this template, you will surely become rich and powerful.
Don’t say that just with this plan, you may become a great man in the world!
“A plan for national prosperity!”
Li Guoren was surprised, thought for a while, and said
“Your Excellency, you...your proposal is very good. In this case, it can indeed help Yiyi, but... Your Excellency, aren't you worried that the master will starve to death if you teach him?"
Because the two were close, Li Guoren always had something to say. As soon as he said this, Li Yian, who was holding a cigar, looked at him and said.
"Guoren, you still don't understand industry, industrial production technology...and you don't understand business."
When leaving the official residence, Li Guoren couldn't help but wonder about the next meeting with Hassan and others. Meeting people is full of expectations, not because of anything else, just because it can help a country get rid of poverty and ignorance. Such a noble thing, even if it is written in a diary or a memoir, it is worthy of a close-up. .
