Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 669 The accompanying situation is grim

Jiang Chen chatted with the old man about his views on the future development of the army, which was affirmed by the old man.The old man asked him to write a detailed report on what he said today and submit it later.With that said, Jiang Chen and the others arrived at their destination, a medium-sized industrial city.Although it is not the provincial capital, it is also one of the best in this province.

The old man's itinerary is strictly confidential, and only the relevant main leading cadres know of his arrival.Therefore, the whole city is relatively calm.Greeted by the local leaders, the old man entered a local guest house that had been emptied and strictly guarded to rest.As for Jiang Chen, he was also arranged here.However, he was relatively young, so he didn't feel tired, so he began to summarize and write the content of their conversation in the car according to the old man's request.

In the afternoon, the old man's secretary brought Jiang Chen a suit of clothes.It was a Chinese tunic suit, saying that this suit on him was too conspicuous, so he asked him to change into this, Jiang Chen nodded and changed.However, he still didn't have his original clothes to keep him warm, so Jiang Chen found a way to get another military overcoat to wear when going out.Under the account of the old man's secretary, Jiang Chen's identity also changed. From then on, he became a staff member accompanying the old man, responsible for supporting the old man.

After Jiang Chen cleaned up, the old man also got up at this time.Seeing Jiang Chen's body, he nodded in satisfaction.Then there was a simple dinner with the local leading cadres, all of which were very special local meals.Of course, it is quite simple, with only eight dishes and one soup for seven or eight people, which looks even a bit shabby.This is what the old man asked for, that is to go there, don't waste extravagance there, as long as there is enough to eat and clean.The local authorities also knew the temper of the old man, so they picked up local specialties and served them on the table.As for Jiang Chen and the others, they naturally also entertained them, which was similar to the old people's, a very simple work meal.Jiang Chen's food was quite good, with a special taste on his tongue, it seems that the local government took great pains to welcome them in the future.

After dinner, the old man held a meeting with the leaders of this place.As for Jiang Chen, he was also arranged to sit and wait in a corner.Of course, this was seen by other leaders, and the reason why Jiang Chen did this was because the old man asked him to attend the meeting, listen carefully, and then express his opinion after finishing.This meeting is still very good. Everyone is very pragmatic and not as bureaucratic as in later generations.The local government reported to the elderly in detail about their work and the difficulties they faced in the current period.Judging from what Jiang Chen heard, it was quite difficult here.The original local enterprises relied on the original supply system to survive, but now with the opening up and the shift of the country's development strategy, these enterprises and factories have lost the supply system they used to rely on, and they have fallen into a trap. difficulty.Another point, Jiang Chen also heard it.That is, the equipment and production technology of the enterprise are relatively old, and the quality of the products produced is not good and the efficiency is not high.Especially after the reform and opening up, foreign products and technologies came in, which had a huge impact on them.

Speaking of which, this situation actually has something to do with Jiang Chen.Then follow the development of Jiang Chen and his company, as well as the product supply chain and product supply agreement he created, as well as the more influential industrial ecosystem.These enterprises driven by the Western Industrial Company pay more and more attention to technological development and product research, so as to win orders from the Western Industrial Company.In this way, the technology of these enterprises will become more and more advanced, and the products will become better and better.With the introduction of these products into the market, the blow to these enterprises is huge, making them gradually lose their original market.

Although the local government has also supported it for a period of time, the gap in this kind of technology leadership is not only because it cannot win others in terms of quality or word of mouth.Even in terms of production and quantity, they can't win, so the more they produce, the more they will lose.This is also because of the development of technology, which enables enterprises to upgrade production technology, so that the production efficiency of enterprises is greatly improved, and its cost will be greatly reduced.In this way, it will be more competitive in the market, and companies with these old equipment cannot compete.And the places that are dragged down by these enterprises are already heavily in debt.Not to mention taking care of them, even I was struggling to support myself. I heard that many cadre units have not been able to pay their salaries for several months.

When the old man heard this, his expression was very solemn.He didn't express his opinion immediately, but continued to ask.This question, and the news they got made everyone's mood drop to the bottom.Not just in one area, but in several nearby areas as well.You know, at this time, there is no tax on the local government.Or even if there is, there is no tax to collect.Because the enterprises are all owned by the state, what do you charge.Therefore, part of the profits and taxes paid by these local enterprises every year will be allocated to the local authorities.So when I hear that local enterprises are in trouble, these local governments are rushing to support these local enterprises with the idea that there will be no problems with the money bag, which can be said to be asking for money and people.But in the face of such a big environment, no matter how much the local authorities give, if the enterprise does not change its production model, upgrade its industry, or reverse its business philosophy, it will still be fearless.Therefore, these enterprises have directly dragged down the local government at once, turning from a pocketbook into a burden on the local government.

This is not a fabrication or the author's plot needs, but the most realistic problem of that period.Before the restructuring, these state-owned enterprises basically became a burden on the local authorities.As a result, the local authorities are eager to get rid of them and sell these assets.This also made the loss of state-owned assets during this period huge, and the local authorities sold these industries at low prices for the immediate future interests, thus causing the state-owned assets to be lost in vain.And this period is also the most important stage for the rise of so many outstanding and famous entrepreneurs in later generations. Count how many of these people developed by purchasing these enterprises.

The old man was in a bad mood, which made the atmosphere of the entire accompanying working group more serious.After the meeting was over, the old man pushed to other work arrangements, went back early to rest, so as to recharge his energy, and went to check on the spot the next day to see how bad it was.As for Jiang Chen, he originally wanted to talk about his own thoughts, but seeing the tired look on the old man's face, Jiang Chen couldn't open his mouth.I have to wait for the opportunity after the inspection, and then report it together.
