Resource Tycoon Reborn

In the history of economic development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to its rich natural resources and the industrial foundation left over from Japan in history, Longjiang Province once created a brilliant achievement of ranking among the top five in the country in terms of economic aggregate. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of large-scale industrial projects was only 60

One, Longjiang Province occupies nearly one-half, and ranks first in the country in terms of farmland quantity, oil production, forest area and grain production.

However, resource-based industries account for an excessively large proportion of the economy of Longjiang Province, making Longjiang Province's economy always in an export-oriented, dedication-oriented low-end industrial chain. A large number of various raw materials are shipped out of the province.

Processing in this province does not even account for one-third of the total, and deep processing does not even account for 15%. This results in a large loss of due profits, and also makes Longjiang Province lack sufficient funds to carry out operations.

The improvement, development and transformation of the province's economy.

Take the Anda Oilfield, the largest in the country, for example. It accounts for nearly one-third of Longjiang Province’s regional GDP and nearly half of its industrial added value. However, its corporate income tax is all classified as central fiscal revenue.

, this makes the finance of Longjiang Province much less than that of other governments where oil fields are located. And it is not just Anda Oilfield, there are other large-scale resource-based state-owned enterprises in Longjiang Province with similar rules, accounting for all of Longjiang Province.

Eighty percent of state-owned enterprises!

And now, as of the end of 2004, the expressway mileage in Longjiang Province was only a pitiful 600 kilometers, not to mention compared with the economically developed coastal areas, but also compared with Qinxi Province

It is also greatly inferior. And its total foreign export trade volume was only a pitiful less than 6 billion US dollars in 2004! For a country with nearly 500,000 square kilometers. More than 3,600 US dollars

For a province with a population of 10,000, these two figures are enough to explain the current predicament of Longjiang Province.

In the 1980s, the GDP of Longjiang Province and Guangdong Province were roughly the same, but by the year 2000, the GDP of Longjiang Province was only one-third that of Guangdong Province. And last year, the GDP of Longjiang Province was

It dropped to a quarter of that of Guangdong Province. During this period, many coastal provinces surpassed Longjiang Province. The original economic star province has now become one of the few provinces lagging behind China's economy.

How does this make the officials of Longjiang Province feel? In the past, there were many cadres who came to the central government from Longjiang Province, but now, they have become very few. They were originally considered to be incense

The positions of first and second in command have become a helpless choice for many officials.

Yun Zhengning himself can be regarded as a loser in the competition, but he is not willing to accept it. After coming to Longjiang Province a year ago, although he mainly focused on controlling the work of Longjiang Province this year,

He has never stopped thinking about how to reverse the current situation of Longjiang Province. However, it is not so easy to find a new development path for the economy of Longjiang Province! If it were really that easy, his predecessors

How come you can't see it?

If nothing unexpected happens, Yun Zhengning will probably stay in the leadership position of Longjiang Province for ten years, not to mention for the future. Even if he is to be transferred from Longjiang Province in the future, he must do something.

Results come. There is no new technology, no huge investment, and the population has been net outflowing for many years. This also means that talents cannot be retained, and foreign export trade is also bleak. For a large province, the exports cannot even reach 6 billion US dollars.

Even Qinxi Province, an inland province, is not as good as this! Moreover, after years of mining, the oil and coal resources in Longjiang Province have shown signs of depletion. By then, the power of economic development will weaken or even be lost, and we will have to face

It is causing many problems such as corporate bankruptcy and employee layoffs!

In order to find a new breakthrough for Longjiang Province's economy, Yun Zhengning also spent a lot of thought. He also did a lot to win projects from the central government and attract investment at home and abroad. However, only a handful of them have really achieved results.

number.

So when he heard that Fang Mingyuan had arrived in Bingcheng in person and inquired about the soybean purchase, Yun Zhengning took the initiative to come to Huyuan to "see" Fang Mingyuan. He was keenly aware that this might be a rare opportunity

, if Fang Mingyuan can be persuaded, and the Fang family’s investment is attracted, it is likely to drive a large amount of domestic and foreign investment into Longjiang Province. This is how Qinxi Province has developed, Jinxi Province has already shown signs of this, and Liao Province

Because Liao Iron and Steel Group Company has benefited a lot, Yanxing Province is likely to be the next province to benefit. Why can't Longjiang Province compete with Yanxing Province? Moreover, Longjiang Province has a long border with Russia.

With the long-term border trade history, the Fang family is quite influential in Russia. Even without investment, it can further promote the trade between Longjiang Province and Russia, which will also be a powerful boost to the economic development of Longjiang Province.

"Master Fang, Longjiang Province has a strong industrial foundation. It is not wrong to say that. However, it has a strong industrial foundation, but it does not lead even the domestic technology. The products produced by the technology of the 1970s and 1960s are not as good at home and abroad."

What competitiveness is there in the market?" Yun Zhengning sighed, "As for the natural advantages of foreign trade you mentioned, it is even more speechless. Although there is a long border, it is with the Russian Far East.

Mongolia borders on each other. Mr. Fang should know the economic conditions of these two countries better than I do, right? The annual export volume cannot even reach 6 billion US dollars. No matter how big the advantage is, it is useless! If only we could give Long the

If Jiang Province had left an outlet facing the Whale Sea, it would not be in the current situation!"

"Whale Sea? Governor Yun, where is the Whale Sea you are talking about?" Luo Jin said in surprise.

"The Sea of ​​Whales is the name of the Sea of ​​Japan in ancient my country. It should be from the Yuan Dynasty, right?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang is really knowledgeable. The Sea of ​​Whales is what the ancient Chinese called the Sea of ​​Japan to the modern Japanese, and the East China Sea, which Korea claims, was named after the Yuan Dynasty, but I think it might be

It was earlier, but now most people don’t know this name.” Yun Zhengning sighed, “I am also used to calling it Jinghai.”

"Yes, it would be great if Longjiang Province had an outlet to the sea. In that case, the circulation of materials and commodities in Longjiang Province would be much more convenient!" Luo Jin couldn't help but agree. In fact, Longjiang Province has many rich resources.

However, due to the limited capacity of the railways and highways transporting southward and the poor transportation channels, it can only be transported in the province. Even if it is shipped by sea, it can only be shipped to ports around the Bohai Bay before shipment.

, which also greatly increases logistics costs. And if there is an outlet facing the Sea of ​​Japan, then many materials can be shipped from there and shipped directly to Japan, South Korea and other parts of the world.

But now that the national borders of various countries have been basically delineated, it has been decided that Longjiang Province does not have an outlet to the sea, and not only Longjiang Province, but also Liao Province among the three northeastern provinces has an outlet to the sea!

"Although Longjiang Province does not have an outlet to the sea, as far as I know, the border line of Longjiang Province is very close to Russia's Vladivostok Port and Nakhodka Port. It is completely possible to export to Japan, South Korea and other countries through there." Fang Mingyuan looked confused.

asked understandingly.

"There is indeed a sea passage from Binshui City to Russia, but the transportation capacity there, whether it is road or railway, is limited. And you also know, Mr. Fang, that the old Russians are so virtuous that they would not dare to deal with companies like yours.

Why is it so difficult, but companies like these in China are in a lot of troubles." Luo Jin explained that Longjiang International Trade Group Company has business at Binshui Port, so it is naturally very clear about the rules and regulations involved.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan is very clear about this. If he had not invested huge amounts in Russia and was connected with the current president of Russia, the export of his own industries to Russia would also be in trouble.

"Master Fang, our Longjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau exports some agricultural products to Japan and South Korea every year. If we can go to sea from the ports of Vladivostok, the transportation cost can be reduced by nearly half compared to going from Liao Province! Of course!

, this is only possible if the old guys don’t make things difficult for you. However, even so, it can be one-third cheaper. The railway transportation capacity from here to Binshui is still moderate, but the one from Binshui to Vladivostok is a few

The transportation capacity of this city, Lao Maozi, has suffered a severe economic recession in recent years. Let alone building new railways, it would be good if we can maintain the Siberian Railway!" Yu Zhanlong said.

"Don't underestimate Russia. Russia's economy has slowed down a bit in recent years, and its oil export trade is a cash cow for it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "But specifically in the Far East, its economy is picking up.

We have to make some discounts here." Russia's economic center has always been in its European territory. The Far East, to be precise, still plays the role of a raw material supplier. The development of the local economy lags far behind Russia's Europe.

part.

"Ahem, Governor Yun, Mr. Fang, let's talk about the relevant matters related to soybean acquisition first." Jing Hongjun, who had been beside him and couldn't get anything to say, coughed slightly. This was what he was following Yun Zhengning today.

The key to coming to Huyuan was that if it weren't for the sales of nearly two million tons of soybeans, he would not be willing to lower his body and sit down and talk like this with a young man in his twenties. He is a deputy provincial official!

"What about the soybean acquisition? Didn't Director Yu make it clear to Governor Yun?" Fang Mingyuan blinked and said, "Naturally, negotiators will contact your responsible person for the specific price."

"This is a contract worth billions of yuan!" Jing Hongjun said, suppressing the displeasure in his heart. He would feel at ease if this matter were settled as soon as possible. (To be continued)
