Chapter 1351: What the people need and what the country plans (second update, please subscribe)

"NBC..."

Near the coast of Dongning, in an open-air cafe, A blond and blue-eyed European was sitting at the table, looking at the vast Pacific Ocean and said:

“I really don’t know what magical place this country has. Fifteen years ago, this country was just near the Pacific Ocean. A small town, but now it has become such a prosperous metropolis..."

Pointing in another direction, Kochenkov said:

"There is the second largest steel company in the world, Dongning Steel, with an annual output of 25 million tons of steel. The largest steel company is Donghai Steel, with an annual output of 30 million tons. They are all NBC companies..."

Words After a pause, Kochenkov took a sip of coffee and said:

“Sometimes, when we talk about how prosperous the country is, we always talk about how many millions of tons we have produced. Steel, it seems, is the prosperity of the country. However, here, the steel production of such a steel company exceeds the steel production of some countries."

Putting down the cup in his hand, Kochenkov continued:

“Of course, I know that this is because they have applied new technologies, new steel-making technology and Australia’s high-quality iron ore, but, my friend, I am still very fond of this place. Curious.”

Then, he looked at Suganov in front of him and said:

"You have been studying here for a year, my friend, what do you think of this country?"

In To a certain extent, Suganov is enviable because he has the opportunity to study abroad at NBC - there are not many opportunities to study abroad at NBC. After all, NBC universities charge tuition fees for foreigners, and the tuition fees are very high. .

Of course, if international students come under a national agreement, they can get scholarships officially provided by NBC.

However, the vast majority of people who come to study at NBC are Ph.D.s, and there are not even many graduate students, and Suganov is a Ph.D.

Not only is he a Ph.D., he is also a male Ph.D., which is even more rare because female graduate students are more likely to be admitted to universities.

They are classmates, but Kochenkov has been working for many years, while the other is still studying for a doctorate.

From undergraduate to graduate school, to PhD, and now to NBC.

Listening to his friend's question, Suganov did not answer him. Instead, he silently looked at the sea in the distance for a while before speaking.

“This is just a very ordinary country! Nothing more ordinary than ordinary.”

"Oh? How do I put it?"

"They just fulfill the laws they have made. Sometimes, it's really simple."

In fact, Suganov originally had a desire for NBC Imaginations of this kind, after all, people always imagine, imagine strange things that they can imagine, including of course strange countries.

After coming here as a visiting scholar, he saw a completely different NBC.

Here, the eight-hour work system is strictly enforced, and even to a certain extent, overtime work is strictly prohibited.

Here, everyone has access to good medical care through medical insurance.

Here, all children can receive good care in the nursery after birth.

Here. All students receive a free lunch of milk, eggs and meat.

And, it’s all free.

Of course, houses are also allocated. As long as you are married, you can apply. You can even apply for a single apartment after graduating from college...

This is NBC!

A completely different NBC from the one in the textbook and what the professors explain in class.

For Suganov, NBC was unfamiliar and somewhat novel.

Because of this, in the past six months, Suganov has been volunteering in various communities in Dongning when he has time to experience everything here firsthand.

So unlike many people, his understanding of this country is extremely profound. After telling all this, Suganov said:

"Actually, many countries have corresponding laws for all this. Just like many countries in South America, they also have similar laws, but so what?"

"South America..."

Kochenkov sneered:

“That’s why South America will welcome us, just like Cuba, and they will eventually be liberated.”

As for what his classmates said, Suganov did not refute, after all, those countries in South America are simply the contempt of the world.

"Actually, this is the difference between them. NBC is just an ordinary country. There seems to be nothing different."

Facing the question of his friends, Suganov said :

“In Dongning, you can see a huge steel complex. In that port, you can see giant ships transporting iron ore from Australia there. Near the steel company, there are also large The shipyard where hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships are being built..."

When mentioning the "giant ship", Suganov deliberately emphasized his tone and said:

"Those 300,000 tons If these supertankers were born in some shipyards, their photos would be put on the front pages of newspapers and appear on important moments on TV news. They would also arrive at the shipyard and stand in front of the giant ships, telling everyone - -This is the largest oil tanker in the world, and I will tell you - this is something no other country has!”

When Suganov mentioned this, he cast his gaze into the distance - there was indeed a huge ship on the sea in the distance. "Look, there is a huge ship there, at least 100,000 tons, but it should be the ore ship of Dongning Steel, transporting ore from Australia."

He seemed to be changing the topic, and then Then he said:

"However, the ore ship is not that amazing. After all, it is only a dozen or two hundred thousand tons. Let's talk about the oil tanker, a 300,000-ton super tanker! Some people will tell you in excited words - —We built a 326,000-ton oil tanker, which is 345.3 meters long and is the world’s first oil tanker with a deadweight of more than 300,000 tons.

It has set a new record in the history of human shipbuilding. With its completion, a new name was born: VLCC, that is, VERYLARGECRUDECARRIER - that is, oil tankers with a load capacity of between 200,000 and 320,000 tons are super tankers.

This is the pride of the country and a first-time ship. A great victory is the glory of everyone!

We have created a contemporary industrial miracle, and when it sails on the vast ocean, the whole world will see our greatness! Witness this miracle on earth! ”

Perhaps because of some excitement, Suganov even made a harsh sound when he put down the coffee cup, so that some people looked at them a few times, but they spoke in Russian. No one understood.

Kochenkov shook his head and said:

“No, you are wrong! "

"What? ”

"This kind of thing can't happen in our place. Even if it happens, it won't be called VLCC! Because we don't speak English."

Friend's joke Suganov was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly smiled.

“Yes, I am also making a joke, but what I describe is a fact.”

After laughing, Suganov said:

“Actually , this ship has so many meanings. It is just the most ordinary oil tanker, an ordinary industrial product. At most, in a certain corner of the news, there is a simple string of words telling you - they built a The largest oil tanker in the world, because it has nothing to do with glory! Or..."

After a pause, Suganov pointed around and said:

"Actually, sometimes, some things are like this. It's not how much steel is produced, how many ships are built, how many cars are built, but What kind of life is provided to people?

Here we do our best to ensure that everyone can live a good life, provide people with jobs with good income, housing with good environment, and help people. Taking care of children, in their opinion, is the real honor, which is to treat people as human beings. Since they are human beings, they should enjoy all this!

This is really rare. After all, not everyone can do it! To do this, after all, in many cases, will reduce people to a productive force and equivalent to a production tool..."

Suganov did not continue, but Kochenkov knew the answer of. For a while, both of them fell into silence.

At this time, Sukhanov changed the topic and asked:

“You came to NBC this time to introduce cars, right?”

“Yes, basically we have already established a relationship with Volkswagen. The company has negotiated, and they will send a group of engineers to the Soviet Union to help us build a car manufacturing plant - a very large car manufacturing plant. "

Kochenkov said:

"As you said, we are also doing our best to provide people with what they need. In order to introduce equipment for car manufacturing plants, we spent US$600 million, which is N$1.5 billion, not only to provide them with some cutting-edge machinery and equipment, and also paid hundreds of tons of gold, can you imagine? ”

"It's really hard to imagine."

Looking at his old classmates, Suganov shrugged his shoulders and said:

"More than ten years ago, NBC was just a rainforest. At that time, we We can make airplanes, tanks, warships, and cars, but what about now? We can make the best airplanes and tanks, but we can’t make cars that people can use. Do you know why?”

Sukarno? The husband’s question made Kochenkov curious:

“Why?”

“Because we don’t need it, our entire industrial sector is producing things for war, and we haven’t emerged from the shadow of war yet. We are producing things that people are not interested in and don’t need, while the things we need are in short supply. "

"That's because we face too many threats. We can't make the mistakes of the last war again. We must be prepared."

Faced with his friend's answer, Su Jia. Nov was silent for a while, and then said:

“This is their advantage, they don’t have the burden of the past.”

Suganov pointed to the people around him and said:


"So everything here couldn't be simpler. Just produce what people need. If people need housing, give them housing. If people need cars, give them cars. Cars need gasoline. , then produce giant tankers to transport oil. If we need to travel between places, then make jets, buses, and trains, because we need..."

Sukarno opened his hands slightly. The husband said in an emotional tone:

“We created all of this just to meet people’s needs and tell everyone that we created all of this because you need it!”< br>
Kochenkov was stunned by the words of his old classmate. When he was absent-minded, Suganov continued:

“Because we will do our best to meet the needs of workers, we This is how China's economy develops because of people's needs, everything is like this! It has nothing to do with anything else, just because of China's needs! ”
