Chapter 1542: Upgrading the Industry Again (Third update, please subscribe)
Happiness does not come without a price!
On the subway, looking at Wangtang's photo and his biography in the newspaper, Zou Haishan couldn't help but sigh. Even though he had never known this nineteen-year-old young man, and even if there was no contact between them, it did not hinder him. Feeling some kind of sadness.
"This is the price of happiness..."
Zou Haishan sighed. As a senior civil servant in the Dongning Department of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, he knew very well what East Africa meant to this land.
"80% of our corn, 30% of our soybeans and 30% of our meat come from East Africa. East Africa is not just a granary for us, it is also related to our food security!"
This is the text listed in the newspaper.
"The vast modern farms in East Africa and the corn fields like the sea are our lifeblood. Without the corn there, we would not have enough pork, chicken, eggs, or milk."
Why are these data listed in newspapers?
Zou Haishan knew very clearly - just to tell the people that the reason for sending troops to East Africa was not just to fulfill the so-called Commonwealth obligations.
In fact, everyone knows that the so-called "Commonwealth obligations" are just an excuse.
Sending troops is more for self-interest. Just reading the newspaper, the subway soon entered the station. Then Zou Haishan got off the train as usual, exited the station, and walked for a while before entering the Department of International Trade and Industry.
As soon as I arrived at the Department of International Trade and Industry, I heard the arguments among my colleagues. They were obviously arguing about things like industrial policy adjustments.
Their arguments were so loud that even people in the corridor could hear them. Operators from each bureau were all expressing their opinions there.
Industrial policy adjustment has been a focus of the Dongning Department of Commerce and Industry in the past two years. As the easternmost city in SEA, Dongning's industrial and commercial economy has been fully developed in the past ten years. It has not only established large steel companies, Shipyards, automobile manufacturers, and supporting enterprises surrounding their production, but on the other hand, Dongning's development has also reached a bottleneck.
Dongning has always been based on exports to the United States. Its industry is developed but messy. As wages increase, the prices of Dongning's exports to the United States and the Americas are increasing day by day, and some low-end products are becoming obsolete. .
"... Last year, the profits of the textile, clothing, footwear and hat industries dropped by 30%. We have to face this reality!"
"The light textile industry has fallen behind, we must transform as soon as possible..."
Transformation is not as easy as it sounds!
Listening to the arguments among his colleagues, Zou Haishan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then, he sat down at his desk and read the report again.
The report is a report on the business analysis of Gulfstream Company. As Gulfstream Company is the only aviation manufacturing company in Dongning, the Gulfstream aircraft it produces are the best small business aircraft in the world,
"Gulf Stream, Gulf Stream..."
Gulfstream received more than 700 orders last year. This was affected by the "Cuban Missile Crisis" and wealthy people realized that they needed private jets when necessary to leave dangerous areas.
This is not limited to world wars, but also includes special situations such as judicial investigations. Private jets can allow them to leave a place and go to other countries at the first time.
A Cuban missile crisis made everyone aware of the benefits of private jets, which also brought a large number of orders to Gulfstream.
However, this does not mean that Gulfstream has no competitors. The "Global Express" developed by Nanyang Aviation Industries is the world's only supersonic business jet, and it stole the show during the "Cuban Missile Crisis". However, this supersonic The commercial aircraft is still undergoing test flights.
This aircraft is a competitor to the Gulfstream.
Of course, this matter is not within the scope of his consideration now. After all, Gulfstream is Gulfstream, and Nanjing Engineering is Nanjing Engineering.
But while reading the report, Zou Haishan was thinking about another thing - the Internet being discussed by the Communications Industry Bureau.
"Internet?"
Zou Haishan thought in his heart:
"What is this? Is it a telephone line that connects all electronic computers? Is this important?"
As a layman of electronic computers, Zou Haishan's understanding of electronic computers is limited to the fact that it can help companies perform various calculations, and it can also help him complete some work, and that's all.
In fact, for most people, their understanding of electronic computers is generally the same.
"Internet? What can it be used for?"
Zou Haishan thought this, and once again turned his attention to the report in front of him. As the section chief of the Heavy Industry Bureau, he had already made up his mind that the aviation industry must be included in the formulation of industrial policies this year. in.
In his view, the aviation industry is the breakthrough point for Dongning's industrial upgrading. After all, in Chang'an and other places, the aviation industry provides tens of thousands of jobs.
There is great potential for Dongning to develop the aviation industry. After all, there is a successful example of Gulfstream here.
"Small general aircraft can be used as a breakthrough..."
After making up his mind, he came again to the director's office with the report he had written long ago.
As soon as he saw the director, he said straight to the point: "Director, I still think that we should use the aviation industry as a breakthrough!"
Niu Wenxun, who was looking through the report, closed the report in his hand and said:
"Oh, you still insist on this view. You should know that we already have Nanyang Aviation Industries. It produces C717 and C707, which are the best aircraft in the world. They fly all over the world. Tell me why. We want to establish A company's own business to compete? ”
"Market!"
Zou Haishan said:
"Because of the market, Director, the aircraft produced by Nanyang Aviation Industry are too big!
First of all, we have to start with SEA’s unique geographical environment.
Our country is vast - not to mention the large east-west span. Transportation between the local area and outer islands must be maintained by air. Even between the central city and small towns on the island, there are not necessarily good roads.
Dense jungles and rapid rivers, like natural barriers, isolate many areas from the outside world, making traditional land transportation difficult, especially during the rainy season, when the roads are muddy and car traffic becomes almost impossible. ”
Except for the main island, the road conditions on other islands are not that good, because building roads requires costs and returns. In many areas, it is impossible to build modern roads and bridges because the sparse traffic flow will make it impossible to recover the cost.
Not only is the maintenance cost of such a huge infrastructure, it is also extremely staggering. Therefore, there are no expressways in Dongning, Zhongxing, and Yongding, and there are only simple roads in many places.
“...In this case, air transport becomes the lifeline connecting these remote areas.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Small planes shuttle between jungles and rivers, providing local residents with a fast and efficient way to travel and becoming an important bridge between them and the outside world. ”
While introducing the advantages of small aircraft, Zou Haishan took out another report and said:
"Director, you see, last year only 17 small domestic airlines purchased more than 112 regional aircraft. Most of them are small regional aircraft with 40-80 seats..."
When showing the report to the director, Zou Haishan introduced:
“Data shows that about 40% of the population relies on air travel every year, and in Zhongxing and Yongxing, this proportion is as high as three times the national average.
Many small local airlines have also keenly captured this market demand and opened many routes to remote areas to facilitate communication between urban and rural areas.
Some airlines have even launched "air taxi" services, further improving the convenience of air transportation and integrating air travel into the daily lives of local residents. ”
Looking at the report that listed various data and charts, Niu Wenxun did not speak, but just looked at the report,
Zou Haishan continued:
“This strong dependence on air transportation has formed a unique market environment and provided fertile soil for the development of the aviation industry.
Therefore, we should also actively respond to market demand and develop small aircraft that adapt to the local environment. They can take off and land safely on short runways with efficient fuel consumption and low operating costs, which perfectly fit the characteristics of the regional aviation market.
And Gulfstream..."
Finally, Zou Haishan brought up the topic, and he continued:
"The company's technology is still very strong. Although the Gulfstream aircraft we developed is a small business aircraft, it can completely conduct research in this area. Since we already have a suitable company, we only need to make appropriate adjustments to the industrial policy. Encourage them to enter this market.
At the same time coordinating local and other regional airlines to purchase their aircraft, I believe this industry must have great potential. According to my calculations, it can bring us not only 40,000 to 50,000 jobs.
And it can also help us complete industrial upgrading. ”
For the Department of International Trade and Industry, the most important task is to formulate industrial policies and achieve continuous economic development through continuous adjustment of industrial policies. In this process, industrial upgrading is gradually completed.
Although most of the time they follow the policies of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry when formulating industrial policies, each local Ministry of International Trade and Industry will make some appropriate adjustments based on its own circumstances.
After all, the situation in each place is different and it is impossible to apply it mechanically.
Niu Wenxun, who was looking through the report, carefully looked at the data above, and then thought for a while before speaking.
"First prepare a more detailed report, and then contact Gulfstream to see if they have any inclination in this regard. After all, it is ultimately up to the company to complete this work."
The director's words basically make his attitude clear. He supports the development of the aviation industry.
"I understand."
Zou Haishan nodded and said.
"I will contact Gulfstream as soon as possible to convince them to enter this market."
