Chapter 1216: Ten Years in Hedong (Third update, please subscribe)
People from Nanyang often come to visit, whether before or after the Olympic Games.
For this world, there will always be many backward countries hoping to find a good way to strengthen the country and enrich the people in Nanyang.
But is there really a cure in this world?
There are many answers, but one thing is for sure, as long as you study, you can always get some enlightenment.
In the following days, the middle-aged man has been visiting various places in Nanyang. A few people visited here without anyone accompanying them, just watching.
No one even received them, because they all came in through non-diplomatic channels, so they were "free rides".
In this way, naturally no one will receive it.
“The houses in Nanyang look very similar to the houses in the United States!”
In a community, a middle-aged man said with a smile, while the accompanying people added Road:
"Indeed, the houses in Nanyang were all prefabricated houses designed by German engineers in the early days. The style is more Western, but they are like cars, and the required materials are processed and produced in factories and then transported to the construction site. This kind of house construction is much faster than concrete house construction, which greatly shortens the construction period and saves labor costs. After all, they had to provide housing to more than 20 million people, which was not easy to say. "
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but purse his lips when he heard the compliments of the entourage. Nanyang can provide housing for more than 20 million people. In comparison, what about themselves? But he couldn't even take care of more than a million people.
It is only in recent years that everyone has moved into military villages, and those veterans have returned home.
Hey!
With a sigh, he looked at the Nanyang-style houses in front of him.
"Director, you see, the house we see is the third generation of national housing. Compared with the first generation, it is a real two-story building. In fact, the easiest way to distinguish the third generation of Nanyang housing is from the number of floors. The difference is that the first generation has one floor with a big roof and a loft on the second floor. The second generation has one and a half floors with a half loft on the second floor. Then the third generation is a real two-story building with a small roof. "
The entourage pointed to the house and introduced:
"These houses in Nanyang are still being exported in large quantities. Many countries in the United States and Europe are importing houses from Nanyang. Britain, in the first few years after the war, imported more than 500,000 houses from Nanyang.
To this day, houses are a very important export product of Nanyang, with exports worth hundreds of millions of dollars last year.
So, companies in Nanyang have always been proactive in developing these houses. Of course, Nanyang is rich in timber resources. In addition to reclaiming rainforests to obtain a large amount of timber, they are also planting a large number of eucalyptus trees. , Eucalyptus is a high-quality hardwood that is excellent for construction and papermaking. ”
It’s not just a house, it’s an industry, an industrialized industry that can be exported. This is the construction industry in Nanyang, which is completely different from other places. I have learned this in my middle age. At their peak, they exported millions of homes per year.
This is Nanyang!
You can always innovate and make breakthroughs in unexpected places, and you can profit from them.
The entourage noticed that the director seemed to be thinking about something, so they said:
"However, the houses in Nanyang are actually like that. Director, look at these houses. It's all the same, without any new ideas, and even the walls are very thin. If it weren't for a layer of straw felt stuck in the middle of the wooden walls, the sound insulation would be very poor, and during the typhoon season, such a house would be very dangerous. Director, look at the outside of those windows, there are typhoon-proof wooden windows, but If the typhoon becomes severe, there will inevitably be damage.”
The entourage's initial promotion and then suppression made the middle-aged man realize that his own attitude might have affected him, so he said:
"Actually, such a house is more suitable for Nanyang. Although Borneo is not affected by earthquakes, But it is located near the earthquake zone. As for Zhongxing and Yongding Dongning, they are both directly located in the earthquake zone, and the wooden house has better earthquake resistance. Even if it collapses, it will not cause too much harm to people. "
The man waved his hand and said:
"Speaking of which, it should be the same in our place. After all, it is also a place where earthquakes occur frequently! Such wooden houses are safer."
While visiting the community, the man noticed a detail and asked:
"I see that many people have air conditioners on their windows."
"Yes, Director, basically every household in Nanyang now has air conditioners in their bedrooms. After all, their income is growing rapidly, and An air conditioner only costs about two hundred yuan, which is almost a month’s salary, and the electricity price in Nanyang is very cheap.” He made a fuss about Nanchui and said:
“The power generation equipment of Nanyang Electric Power Equipment Company has always been world-class. It produced a single 200,000 kilowatt large ultra-high voltage generator set in almost ten years. The seven major power plants all used large-scale units that were very rare at the time. Although their thermal power generation technology was imported from the United Kingdom and the United States, they had some advantages.
They developed it four years ago. Developed the world's first supercritical thermal power generating unit with a capacity of 300,000 kilowatts
The 300,000-kilowatt unit of Chang'an No. 4 Power Plant consumes 317g of standard coal per kilowatt hour of electricity, while the equivalent unit of Westinghouse Company in the United States consumes 340g of standard coal per kilowatt hour of electricity. Comparing the two, one unit burns nearly 20,000 tons of standard coal less per year. ”
Technology!
This is a manifestation of "building a country through technology". It is precisely because of the emphasis on technology for more than ten years that Nanyang is now in the technology field.
Instead of sitting on Germany’s World War II technology and resting on its laurels
“And the quality of coal mines in Nanyang is very good. There are large coal mines in Taiping and Yongan, and they are all open-pit. Coal mines use large bucket excavators with large output and low cost. As a result, the electricity bill is naturally very low. Therefore, almost every household in Nanyang is equipped with air conditioners. ”
After thinking for a moment, the entourage added: "And Nanyang is the first country to use atomic energy to generate electricity. Now Nanyang has built four large nuclear power plants. According to Nanyang's power industry plan, nuclear power will account for the country's power generation in twenty years." More than 30%.”
While listening to all this, the middle-aged man just nodded silently and did not speak.
Atomic energy, atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, rockets, missiles, satellites... In the past ten years, Nanyang has shocked the world time and time again.
Ten years is just the blink of an eye for a country. In ten years, Nanyang has made greater progress and its achievements have been even more amazing.
Not only is the world's third largest economy, but the people's living standards have also developed to levels beyond imagination. Many people here have installed garages or carports next to their houses, and more and more people have private cars. .
Nanyang people live in houses like this, with air conditioning in the bedrooms and cars for transportation.
In contrast, what about themselves?
The good life in the eyes of many people there is just about being able to eat meat every day. This is the gap!
With such emotion in his heart, he became more determined in his heart - we must do a good job in the economy. It was with this idea in mind that he came to another place - Daye Industrial Park.
"Compared with ten years ago, the difference is not big..."
As soon as he entered the industrial park, he found a sense of familiarity, but the factory had undergone some changes.
“This must have been the factory of Tianyi Company in the past.”
Pointing to the stop sign on the roadside that says “Tianyi Station”. Although the stop sign is still there, the factory has become When starting the Electronics Company, the middle-aged man asked curiously:
"How did it become an electronics company? Isn't Tianyi a big company?"
"Director, now Tianyi only designs and sells in Chang'an. The factories are basically overseas, in Surabaya, Mindanao, Malaya, Siam, we also have them there..."
This is industrial transfer , low-end production capacity was slowly eliminated overseas. After listening to the attaché’s report, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and said:
“Actually, this is the foundation of Nanyang. Back then, a Daye Industrial Park The annual export value is 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, which are best-selling clothing, toys, small household appliances and other industrial products in various countries."
Referring to the visit to Daye Industrial Park when I first came to Chang'an In the process, he thought of the exclamation of the cheap uncle at that time.
“The exports of a large industry are more than those of the entire Tangshan. There are several such industrial parks in Nanyang. A shipment of goods costs tens of millions of dollars to come in. In recent years, Nanyang’s economy has taken off thanks to exports. , they take advantage of the low tariffs or even tariff-free advantages of the Empire's preferential treatment in the Commonwealth to export goods to the entire Commonwealth, and use the free trade of the Tariff and Trade Agreement in the international market to earn US dollars by exporting in large quantities. How can such a Nanyang economy not take off? What?”
What the middle-aged man said was what the economists or technocrats around him said, and what they said was generally good.
“Building a country through trade is what makes Nanyang what it is today!” After thinking about it, the man said:
“In the future, we will also be export-oriented. Yes, only selling goods abroad, to the United States, and earning US dollars is the best way to develop the economy! "
This is the simplest truth, the attaché on the side said.
“Yes, Director, even Hong Kong Island’s economic development momentum has been very good in recent years. As for Surabaya, Mindanao, Malaya, and Siam, not to mention, their The development plans are all coordinated and formulated by the Nanyang Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Some officials are even originally officials from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Generally speaking, their industrial development is - large-scale processing trade with large imports and exports, which serves as Nanyang's industrial supporting facilities. Accepting orders from Nanyang ”
Large-scale import and export processing trade is the biggest feature of the current economic development of these countries and regions - large-scale production of raw materials from imported and large-scale acceptance of processing orders, and most of these orders are contracted by enterprises in Nanyang. Factories, more often than not, exist in the form of processing plants. But even so, it brought a large number of jobs and promoted local economic development.
Middle-aged men are very clear about this. The transfer of industries in Nanyang has driven the economic development of the entire East Asian countries and promoted the improvement of the overall economic level. From 1956 to 1962, Malaya and Siam , South Korea, Singapore, Surabaya, Mindanao, Hong Kong Island, Bay Island, Kyushu and other places have an average annual real economic growth rate of 9.1%, much higher than any other region.
Even, because of this, the development of this region has now attracted the attention of organizations such as the World Bank. After all, the development rate of the entire region has been surpassed only by the post-war period in Europe. Reconstruction can compare to that.
“Yes, promoting export trade is the best way to develop the economy. Nanyang’s success proves this. Therefore, if we want to develop the economy, we must promote export trade. Well, there are also To further introduce and utilize capital from Nanyang, for now, whoever introduces more capital from Nanyang will develop faster. Last year, Malaya's economy developed the fastest. They introduced 1 billion US dollars of Nanyang capital, while Siam introduced 700 million US dollars, and Kyushu also introduced more than 500 million US dollars, but we only had less than 500 million US dollars. 300 million U.S. dollars!”
Now, the whole of East Asia and Southeast Asia know one thing very clearly – if they want to develop, look for Nanyang. Nanyang's overseas investment is getting bigger year by year, and with Nanyang's economic development, they will continue to upgrade their industries. While upgrading their industries, they will also move a large number of companies overseas. Therefore, attracting Nanyang Corporate investment has become the secret to economic development for countries and regions in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Although the middle-aged man is not in charge of the economy, he knows the importance of economic development. Therefore, he has always been very concerned about the introduction of foreign capital.
Listening to the director’s words, the entourage thought for a moment and said:
“Director, however, Nanyang’s economic policies have undergone new changes in recent years.”
"Oh? Change?"
The middle-aged man asked curiously.
"What changes?"
