When will I have a long tassel?

"Since April this year, more than 80 foreign-funded enterprises have left Ruigang, and more than 200 local private enterprises have moved their business focus to some countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia. In addition, many exporters who still remain in Ruigang The business of large-scale enterprises has also shrunk significantly.

"Although Ruigang's economic growth has not declined significantly so far, we are worried that if this momentum continues, our subsequent development will encounter difficulties."

In the large conference room of the Ruigang Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Director Cui Jun was giving a briefing to a group of visitors.

This group of visitors is a working coordination group spearheaded by the National Development and Reform Commission and attended by personnel from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments. The leader of the coordination group is a director of the National Development and Reform Commission named Shao Yao.

"The situation in Ruigang is similar to that in many places in China, especially some traditional export processing industrial bases, which are particularly affected. In comparison, the situation in Ruigang is relatively good, which shows that Director Cui I've done a great job with you all." Shao Yao said with a smile.

"The work done by our National Development and Reform Commission is very limited. The investment promotion bureau, development zone management committee and other departments have done a lot of work and discouraged many companies that planned to relocate. Otherwise, our situation will definitely be worse. of."

As Cui Jun spoke, he gestured to the people next to him with his hands. The general meaning was that the achievements were made by everyone, and the military medals were a small half of his and a large half of everyone's.

Seeing Cui Jun's finger pointing at him, Long Zhengyong, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, took over with a smile and said: "We followed the requirements of the city leaders and under the unified deployment of the National Development and Reform Commission, communicated with some companies that were preparing to relocate. City leaders have instructed us that on the one hand we must find ways to retain these enterprises, on the other hand we must not kowtow to them and beg them to stay.

"We have reiterated Ruigang's investment policies to those companies that want to leave, reminding them to value Ruigang's superior environment. At the same time, we have also told them that we will never interfere with their business decisions. They come and go in Ruigang. free.

"Through our work, some companies realized that their previous decisions were too hasty and gave up their original intention of relocating. There are also some companies that are stubborn and insist on relocating. We have not given any obstacles to this. Because we believe that they will Will definitely come back.”

"The word "obsessive" used by Director Long is really expressive." Shao Yao commented with a smile.

"Haha, what Director Shao said is so good!" Cui Jun said with a smile, "Now in our Ruigang, both the government and the people have a consensus that relocating enterprises is an act of stubbornness. However, , the word "obsession" was not invented by our cadres in Ruigang, but by Mr. Tang, and we are all copying Mr. Tang's wisdom."

Hearing Cui Jun's roll call, Tang Zifeng, the deputy leader of the coordination team sitting next to Shao Yao, waved his hand with a smile and said: "Director Cui is serious, obsessive is an idiom, how can I dare to say that I invented it? However, for At present, there is no need to be too nervous about the relocation of some companies.

"Where an enterprise is deployed must comply with economic laws. China's development today, including our Ruigang development, is not a result of charity from others, but is achieved by our own hard work.

"The Art of War says that those who are good at fighting rely on the power and do not blame others, so they can choose people and follow the power. The power of those who are good at fighting is like turning a boulder on a thousand-foot mountain."

"Mr. Tang said that very well!" Long Zhengyong raised a thumbs up and praised, "We were originally a little worried about the current situation, but after hearing what Mr. Tang said, we put our minds at ease."

"Director Long thinks of me as a Taoist priest. I don't have the ability to speak directly." Tang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Ha, Mr. Tang is much better than those straightforward Taoist priests. Who among our private business owners in Ruigang doesn't know Mr. Tang's reputation?" Cui Jun said. Seeing that Tang Zifeng was trying to be modest again, Cui Jun did not give him a chance, but changed the topic and said, "However, the difficulties in Ruigang are also objective. The country requires us to overcome difficulties and ensure growth, and we have done so. A lot of work has been done and some results have been achieved. Now that Director Shao and Mr. Tang are here, we are more confident."

Shao Yao smiled and said: "Director Cui is trying to control our army. We are all aware of the local difficulties. The National Development and Reform Commission took the lead this time and organized more than a dozen work coordination groups to go to various places to help local governments. Solve some objective difficulties. As for Ruigang specifically, I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Tang to sing the main part, so I just play side drums and play a minor role for Mr. Tang."

"Director Shao plays the drums and performs small roles, and he can pick up a mute from anywhere to sing in an opera, and he can sing the opera well." Tang Zifeng said, "The central government has instructed us not to be swayed, do our job well, and do a good job both internally and externally." Two cycles, so you don’t have to worry about changes in the external environment.

"China is a country with a population of 1.4 billion, which exceeds the total population of the entire Western world. We focus on domestic demand, start internal circulation, and cultivate our own market."

"Starting internal circulation is a good idea!" Cui Jun said. "The foreign trade situation has changed recently, and many of our companies in Ruigang are also considering switching to the domestic market. However, we still lack experience in how to do this. , can Mr. Tang give us some guidance in this regard?"

"I don't dare to be a guide." Tang Zifeng said, "I am also a businessman. Our Linji Group is also facing pressure to expand domestic demand. In this regard, we are still exploring. However, there is one thing that can be done now, and there is a lot of potential. …”

"What's the matter?" Cui Jun asked anxiously. Of course he knew that even if he didn't ask, Tang Zifeng would tell him. However, since Tang Zifeng wanted to show off, he had to support him. This is human nature.

"Poverty alleviation." Tang Zifeng said solemnly.

"Poverty alleviation?" A group of Ruigang officials frowned slightly. Tang Zifeng's answer exceeded their expectations and also made them feel a little disappointed.

Jinnan is a developed province. Even though the economic development level of several cities in the west of the province is not as good as that of coastal areas, they have already achieved poverty alleviation. However, in accordance with the national poverty alleviation and development arrangements, Jingnan has formed a "poverty alleviation pair" with Fengxi Province in the west. In addition to allocating a large amount of funds and materials to support Fengxi every year, a large number of cadres are also sent to Fengxi to work on the ground. Participate in local poverty alleviation and development work.

Ruigang officials are no strangers to the matter of poverty alleviation, so when Tang Zifeng said the word poverty alleviation, everyone quickly thought of specific methods, which was nothing more than providing more poverty alleviation to the poor areas in the west. Materials, this can barely be regarded as expanding domestic demand, but...

This is pure support and cannot produce economic benefits!

Without income, how can there be economic development?

Tang Zifeng saw everyone's thoughts. He smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, you have misunderstood. When I talk about poverty alleviation, I don't mean that everyone should donate materials to the west. Although it is very necessary to do so, it has nothing to do with us. The work of this coordination group is not directly related.

“The poverty alleviation I am talking about is to help the poor cities and counties in the western region develop hematopoietic capacity so that the people there have consumption power. This is equivalent to cultivating a new market that can absorb the output of our Ruigang.

"In fact, after so many years of poverty alleviation and development by the country, many areas in the west have been lifted out of poverty. What they lack is just getting rich. So what we have to do is to help them get rich. This is not only helping them, but also helping them Help ourselves.

"Think about it, there are hundreds of millions of people in the western region. If the consumption level of these hundreds of millions of people can be similar to that of the eastern provinces and cities, how much demand will this generate?"

"Hey, this is a novel idea." Cui Jun became serious, "Mr. Tang, is there any specific method for the model you mentioned?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Yes, our Linji Group has launched more than a dozen pilot projects in the west, including in Fengxi Province. Our approach is to provide local production equipment, especially machine tools, to help the local area form its own processing industry. industry.

"As the saying goes, there is no stability without agriculture, and no wealth without workers. With local industry, people's income has increased significantly, and their consumption levels have also risen.

“Our light industrial machinery in Ruigang is very developed. Can we consider going to the west to help them establish various light industrial enterprises, such as food factories, textile factories, clothing factories, furniture factories, craft factories, etc.

"The local labor force is cheap and there are many special agricultural and sideline products. It can be said that there are treasures everywhere. If we can dig out these treasures, the prosperity of the west will be just around the corner. Once the consumption level of the west improves, does Ruigang still need to care about the loss of exports? ?”
