Chapter 256 Crisis
Dingling!
Guan Fei was reading the reverse research reports submitted by the research unit one by one, absorbing and digesting the standards for military product research and manufacturing, and using this as a benchmark to derive a future military standard system in the base area, and the phone on the desk suddenly rang.???
The phones placed on his desk are no longer the old-fashioned phones made of black plastic and thick on both ends, but button-type programmable phones produced by the base. With the help of this fiber optic network laying, the programmable phone network layout project was realized.
Guan Fei was called from thinking state to reality by the phone ringtone. He glanced at the call number displayed on the LCD panel on the phone, smiled, reached out to pick up the receiver, and joked: "Sheng Guo, why do you think of calling me? Is it because you have something to ask me, or is it so excited to use a new phone, and you are calling everywhere to play?"
He, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua, and the three giants in the base area, are only twenty-seven or eight years old this year. They all have the lively and cheerfulness that young people should be, which is no different from others. In order to maintain the majesty of their superiors in front of others, they usually show a mature and steady appearance in front of others, but they will feel uncomfortable after being tense for a long time.
Only when they communicate in private can they show their true side without any scruples, which can be regarded as a spiritual adjustment.
"Old Guan, your new phone is really useful. However, I'm not here to brag about you today."
Opposite the earpiece, Zhang Shengguo's voice sounded serious. Guan Fei also put away his smile and asked seriously: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"That's right. Director He from 58992 called me just now and said that from next month, our business dealings with China will be implemented according to the new credit limit. After exchanging opinions from various parts, the credit limit given to us in China is 370,000 tons of steel, crude steel, steel plates, steel bars, alloy steel, etc. are included in this limit." During the call, he took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "And, the raw materials such as steel used in the orders we placed in China are also included!"
After saying that, there was silence across the phone.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Guan Fei remained silent for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice: "I understand, I will solve this matter. Before that, our construction progress does not need to be adjusted, and we will implement it according to the established plan. I'll ask you in this regard!"
"I understand, don't worry!" Zhang Shengguo said that, and hung up the phone.
Guan Fei slowly put the microphone and leaned back to the wide-back seat. His face was solemn. He did not immediately continue browsing the work report, but lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought as the rising blue smoke rose.
The amount Zhang Shengguo mentioned refers to various means of production such as crude steel, special steel, alloy materials sold to bases in China.
In the domestic planning commission's report, the base area is included in the domestic economic circle in the name of unplanned units, and can enjoy the same treatment as domestic units and apply for the purchase of steel plates, steel bars and other means of production required for economic construction.
This price is a planned price and is very cheap.
In the past few years, the construction scale of the base area was not large. After solving the problem of large-scale building materials such as cement, other demands were limited, and the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. The base area purchased a large number of urgently needed production materials from the country for urban construction, industrial and mining enterprise construction, and equipment production. The domestic area also received urgently shortage of foreign exchange from the base area. Both parties were in a win-win situation, and everyone was very happy.
However, as the construction of the base area began to take shape, demand began to soar.
Especially after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression at the end of last year, the base area expanded by more than ten times, and the security situation was comprehensively improved. According to the construction plan formulated by Guan Fei, more than a dozen newly liberated towns must be re-planned, and the reconstruction of new urban areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, administrative areas, cement and other building materials can be solved by themselves, but the steel bars required for construction still rely on imports from China, and the demand has increased by nearly ten times!
Moreover, after building a small-scale precision manufacturing system with considerable free production capacity, the construction of new cities has also begun to enter a high-development stage. The number of newly put into production enterprises has reached more than a dozen every month, and the steel and other means of production required for factory production lines has also increased rapidly.
This makes it a bit unbearable in China.
Nowadays, the monthly fiscal investment of the base area reaches nearly 200 million yuan per month. With such a large investment, the output value of industry, commerce, service industries and other industries has also increased rapidly, and it is estimated that in 81 years, that is, the total GDP of this year may reach about 8 billion RMB!
What is this concept?
Just look at the GDP output value of several large and medium-sized cities in China. Take last year as an example. Shanghai's GDP was 30 billion, all 13 billion, Tianjin 10 billion, Chongqing 9 billion, and other key industrial and commercial cities, such as Guangzhou, Wuhan, Wuhan, Chengdu, Qingdao, and Hangzhou, and less than 5 billion!
In other words, the economic scale of more than a dozen new towns has passed the large cities with a scale of one million people such as Chengdu, Qingdao, and Hangzhou, and is close to the scale of Chongqing, the third largest economy in the country!
Even compared with Shanghai, which ranks, it will soon reach one-quarter of its total economic output value!
You must know that there is only one Shanghai in the country!
Even if Shanghai continues to feed back a large number of new technologies and new products to the country and plays its due leading role, the people of the whole country are still quite dissatisfied with the special status of supporting Shanghai through the whole country.
As for the adopted son of the base area, the republic, who looks at this trend, he may even pass through Shanghai in the future if he desires domestic means of production!
Who can stand such a giant lying on the country and sucking blood desperately?
It would be fine if the domestic production capacity was strong. The key is that the country has just rectified the situation and the national economic adjustment has come to an end. Last year, the total GDP was only 450 billion yuan, and the production capacity was low. When the country turned to economic construction, construction was emerging all over the country, and the desire for means of production was rising steadily. This production capacity was not enough to maintain the domestic supply of unlimited bases. It was really hard to do so.
In the past two years, the domestic prices of means of production have risen too quickly, and the planned prices have almost doubled.
Even if prices soar, supply is still in short supply. Countless factories and enterprises are hungry, trying their best to get the planned means of production, relying on relationships, going through back doors, and making notes, and using everything they can.
Under such circumstances, the country finally couldn't bear it anymore and drew a red line for the base area through 58992 units and set an upper limit.
The call from Zhang Shengguo told him the upper limit: the upper limit of steel is 370,000 tons per year, which is about one percent of the national crude steel production!
Three hundred and seventy thousand tons
Guan Fei sighed with emotion, saying that the domestic base is not too small, and he was able to squeeze out one percent of the production capacity in the tight domestic means of production and supply it exclusively to the base, and he also tried his best.
However, the Republic is still very weak and cannot bear more burdens. As a base that relies on this entity, I really can't bear to add more burdens to it.
Purchase from outside?
But in this world, there is also a country that lacks resources, is hardworking and willing to work hard, and travels thousands of miles a day. It lacks iron ore, scrap steel, oil, and rare earths. It can be said that everything is lacking, but it is not short of money. Therefore, it can wield a checkbook to search for various resources all over the world, becoming the largest competitor of the base in the global resource market. The amount of scrap steel that can be obtained every year is extremely limited.
This country is Japan!
No one has money and no one has a strong backer. It is already hard for the Hong Kong office to maintain the current import of 100,000 tons of scrap steel every year.
I really can't take it!
However, 370,000 tons are indeed not enough, and at least 30% of the gap cannot be filled.
If the supply of means of production is not solved, the rapid development trend of base areas will have to be slowed down. It is really heartbreaking.
Guan Fei smiled bitterly, put out a piece of white ash cigarette that was left without sucking, and sighed a long time ago.
Funds, logistics, talents, equipment, he gritted his teeth, racked his brains, used all kinds of tricks, threats, and temptations, and solved these problems one after another. Seeing that the endless high road ahead, he suddenly told him that the means of production could not keep up.
In economic construction, it is indeed not about playing business games. It involves too many aspects and it is really difficult to implement.
Others can push the problem to him, who can he find and who can he rely on?
He can't rely on anyone, he can only rely on himself!
Whoever made him the leader of this group, since he had reached this position, it was impossible for him to just enjoy its goodness without taking responsibility.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. The solution is something that people think of. After walking through ninety-nine bends, you can't stop at the last hurdle!"
Guan Fei expanded his chest, cheered his lowered mood a little, and whispered.
In the quiet office, no one, including the guard, was outside, and he was the only one who was self-motivated to himself in the room, circling around.
"Mr. Zhu, don't get angry anymore, don't get angry."
On a train leaving Kunming and heading to the base, a middle-aged man in his forties and wearing a green military uniform tried his best to persuade an old man sitting on the seat of a soft lying corridor with windows.
After the full line of the Yunnan-Emi Railway was completed, Dali, Baoshan, Ruili and other western remote areas finally had a shortcut to the provincial capital city, which could unblockedly transport local specialties and commodities from various places from the closed mountains and sell them to all parts of the country. The pace of economic development suddenly accelerated.
Not only the counties along the railway have benefited greatly, but even the counties such as Yongsheng, Lijiang, Lushui, Yingjiang, Shidian, Nanjian, Shuangbai, etc. that are adjacent to these areas have benefited a lot. From the county town, you only need to drive or hike for dozens of miles to reach the nearest station, thus obtaining a bridge of communication with the outside world.
Even the farther ethnic minority counties and cities have shortened their journey to the provincial capital. Many people who have been living in the mountains for their whole lives can finally leave their hometown where they gave birth to him and raised him, and go to a broader world to broaden their horizons and make progress in their studies.
They are generally poor, and some people can't afford to even buy a ticket for a year.
The platform basically does not check tickets or sells platform tickets. The conductor turns a blind eye to the ticket inspection. As long as it is not outrageous, it is fine if it is roughly the same. Therefore, the hard seats are always crowded with people, and it is normal for five or six people to sit in a hard seat. In the aisle and under the seats, there are often ragged figures.
The loads and baskets carried by the masses, and the conductors only checked for flammable and explosive items, and ordinary firewood, rice, oil and salt were completely ignored. In order to sell more money, some people often drove their own pigs, sheep and other livestock to get on the train after working hard for a year to feed the pigs, sheep and other livestock to sell in provincial capitals or base areas. The conductors did not interfere in this and would take the initiative to help them make room.
On the entire train, there was only a soft sleeper carriage next to the dining car.
