In the first 30 years of China's economic growth, almost all of China's main economic growth came from industry, and almost all of the industrial growth was driven by heavy industry. The heavy industry was basically concentrated in the northeast, which was worthy of being the cradle of China's industry.
The Northeast was the first heavy industrial base built after the founding of China, and it was also the largest heavy industrial base in China. Its heavy industrial output ranked second among all the major regions. This base was originally based on the steel industry. After the mid-1960s, due to the development of oil resources, it formed an industrial foundation of steel, equipment manufacturing, metallurgy, automobiles, shipbuilding, and oil industry.
In 1978, four of the top ten cities in the country in terms of economic output were in the Northeast.
After the reform and opening up, the government adopted a comprehensive strategy of opening up the coastal, river, and border areas. In terms of geographical location, since the reform and opening up, the three provinces in the Northeast followed the original policy of "connecting the south and expanding the north" and also found a new channel to communicate with the outside world. This was to go east from the Tumen River and Heilongjiang, directly to the Japen Sea, and then to the Pacific Ocean.
At the same time, with the help of the densest railway network in China, directly to the "Vladivostok" free economic zone, it was a unique advantage.
But Shenzhen had risen from a small border town overnight, and the Pujiang River developed rapidly with the help of the Pudong development, while the Northeast was a bit bleak. At the beginning of the 21st century, there was no city in the top ten in terms of economic output.
Of course, for the Northeast, the 1990s was a new beginning. The era of science and respect for technology had returned. The performance and cause analysis of the "Northeast Phenomenon" was a hot issue that attracted people's attention in the early 1990s. The industrial production of the three provinces in the Northeast, which used to be the forefront of the country, was struggling. Heiji and Liao's economic growth rates were second, third, and fifth in the country.
From the original 35% of the country's total industrial output, it fell to less than 10%.
Of course, because of the small total population, including the three provinces in the Northeast, Heiji, Liao, Inner Mongolia, Hulunbeier, Xing 'an, Xilingole, Tongliao, Chifeng, and Qinhuangdao, the area was 1.243 million square kilometers, and the population was less than 100 million, just about the same as the Netherlands. In terms of per capita, it could still beat most provinces and cities in the country.
The Northeast climbed to new heights under the highly centralized planned economic system and achieved many great achievements. But the planned economy was good for a while, but it could not be good for a lifetime. In the long run, it was against the economic laws.
Everyone ate, drank, and went to the toilet all the time. The workload was too huge, so how could it be planned? In terms of management skills, it was destined to fail.
The current government units were like Li He. An administrative unit was in charge of a dozen or even hundreds of enterprises. How could they manage all of them?
Moreover, in the era of the planned economy, the company's products were produced according to the plan, and there was no need to worry about not being able to sell. In such a closed environment, it sold very well. But in the era of openness, it was completely unable to compete with similar products from the United States, Japan, and Germany.
Therefore, Li He was very smart. He delegated power very thoroughly.
He also had more than 30 joint ventures in the Northeast, and he did not even know which way the door opened.
Dong Jinbu said, "The state-owned enterprises here have too many debts. It's not that the state-owned enterprises are incompetent. It's just that the state-owned enterprises are under a lot of pressure."
"A problem with the system." Li He had been in the state-owned enterprises for so many years that he understood the logic behind it. It was not that the state-owned enterprises were incompetent, but that the country was weak. The responsibilities that should have been borne by society and the government were all assigned to the state-owned enterprises. It was like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
He didn't say anything more. He roughly understood what Dong Jinbu meant.
He could leave it for the next stage.
However, he still sought Old Madam He's opinion.
Old Madam He said, "If you have something to do, just do it here. We know the way."
Early the next morning, Li He drove Dong Jinbu's car to send them to the airport, and then he stayed there alone.
A few days later, he and Dong Jinbu went south together. Their first stop was Shenji in Feng Tian. He remembered clearly that this was also a joint venture company with him, and it lost tens of millions of dollars every year.
Li He was not the controlling shareholder of Shenji, so he didn't have much say. However, the leader of Shenji invited him to a banquet at a five-star hotel that day.
He was not happy at all.
All the way south, followed by Qing Qing, the biggest bug in Hei Province, which accounted for more than half of the total output. He felt tired just looking at it.
Then he went to the complete equipment group, Anshan Iron and Steel, Linggang, the Great Northern Wilderness Agricultural and Reclamation, and Harbin Power. None of them made him feel comfortable.
In Bingcheng, he donated more than 10 million to the Harbin project, but he didn't even bother to have a meal, not to mention a donation ceremony. He left in a hurry.
The only thing that made him look at it differently was Tonghua, where the pharmaceutical industry caught up. This was the hinterland of Changbai Mountain, rich in plant, animal, and mineral medicines. There were 1133 types of medicinal resources, including ginseng, gastrodia elata, fritillaria, schisandra, rhodiola, and other precious medicinal materials. The total reserves were 200,000 tons, and it was fully deserving of the title "the hometown of China's traditional Chinese medicine". Together with Xishuangbanna and Mount Emei, it was known as the "three natural medicine warehouses" in China.
For a time, the medical industry of Tonghua rose together. Li Yikui, Wang Zhenguo, Pan Shoude, Xiu Laogui, Wang Guangyuan, Guan Baoshu …
On the list of Tonghua and even China's pharmaceutical industry, there were many wonderful and legendary companies.
Among the more than 500 pharmaceutical companies in the country, there were a large number of top names. Yang Sen, Sino-American SmithKline, such a powerful joint venture, were suppressed.
The company that left the deepest impression on Li He was Xiu, but unfortunately, he couldn't even find the founder.
He only met Li Yikui, who fully supported him and gave him money.
After touring the three northeastern provinces, Li He spent another 300 million yuan. Dong Jinbu watched from the side, trembling with fear. He never blinked when giving money.
He increased his capital just for the right to speak.
He donated his teaching assistant just for the peace of mind.
"Boss Li He, what shall we eat for lunch?" Dong Jinbu didn't bother to keep up appearances anymore. He followed whatever Li He said.
"I want to eat zhajiang noodles with big meat." Li He started to think about the zhajiang noodles in his hometown.
"Wait a minute." Dong Jinbu slowed down the car and turned to ask his local lackey next to him if there was a good place to eat zhajiang noodles in Jinzhou. Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz with the license plate AC9999 behind him made a loud noise.
Li He, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, didn't have his seatbelt on, and his head was bleeding.
Li He touched the blood on his forehead. He couldn't believe it!
"I have a bunch of guesses in your motherf * cking b * tch! Show me your f * cking license. You don't know how to drive! " Dong Jinbu's car was forced to stop. The Mercedes-Benz that hit him also drove alongside him. The driver rolled down the window and started to talk nonsense at Dong Jinbu.
"Motherf * cker! Get out of the car! "Dong Jinbu had never suffered such humiliation, and it was done in front of Li He. It was so embarrassing! His lackeys behind him saw that their boss was angry, and they also took out machetes and steel pipes from the trunk!
PS: My old house was still under renovation after it was destroyed. My parents are sick, and I've been under a lot of pressure recently. I hope everyone can understand. Sorry, sorry. If it's useful, I'm willing to say 10,000 times.
