Some thoughts on solving the economic backwardness of Baixiang County in my hometown

I am an engineering college student. I left my hometown more than 30 years ago and worked in industrial management after graduation. I often come back for a look during working holidays. The economy of Baixiang County in my hometown is really backward. My colleague is very mean to the economic situation of Baixiang County. I feel ashamed, but I can't help it, because economic backwardness is always a fact. I heard that there was a white elephant, so I came up to have a look and listened to a lot of discussions. Regarding the poverty and backwardness of Baixiang, I also express my views and discuss with people of insight. What is poverty? Theoretically speaking. That is, this social unit lacks the right to control funds, or the right to control funds in the future. Taking the boundary of a county as the boundary, the capital of this county is outflow, and the outflow is the poor. If a county wants to get rich, it must export a large number of goods, technology, labor and services, and turn these exports into ready-made funds and return them to the county. With more funds, we can improve our living standards and engage in construction. However, the current situation is that the export of commodities, technology and labor services in Baixiang is insufficient, and the commodities we need for life will continue to enter our county from outside the county, with negative capital flow. Can we still be poor? Reasons for poverty: I think the main reason is that there is no industry. It stands to reason that every industry can bring in income, but the agricultural production cycle is long, which is greatly affected by the weather, unstable and low in income, while the industrial production cycle is short and the capital flows quickly, so industrial production is relatively high in agricultural income and is not affected by the weather. Baixiang's small industrial agriculture is not large, and the outflow of funds has formed poverty in Baixiang. Of course, this kind of poverty is not caused by a government or a generation. There are reasons for leadership and common people, mainly due to the soil and water in this area. The reason for leadership is that some government leaders have missed the opportunity of development in history. In the era of planned economy, I heard that Twenty Metallurgical Company, Tianjin Textile Company and a university all wanted to move to Baixiang County, because food was tight at that time. At that time, the leaders were afraid that foreigners would come and occupy the food index of Baixiang people, so they did not support foreign enterprises to settle in Baixiang County and missed a development opportunity. At that time, if we were not afraid of lack of food, there might be many more industrial and technical talents in Baixiang now. Why should industry not develop? Second, in the era of planned economy, there is still a problem, that is, when the leaders in charge of the economy attach importance to politics, talents and efficiency. In the total distribution of social economy, there is a problem of low efficiency. If you can't give full play to people's abilities, talented people are useless in white elephants. Baixiang people are models in obeying political trends, but fools in developing economy. In the planned era, Gaoyi County and Longyao County were able to break through the policy restrictions at that time and develop production, while Baixiang was able to cut off the tail of capitalism. The production capacity cannot be developed. People's minds can't be liberated, so people dare not break through the cage. At that time, farmers made their own cotton, and our neighboring counties such as Gaoyi and Longyao all stole flowers, ground flour and did private work. Baixiang county can't have these projects, at least the people who steal them will be criticized at least. At the time of reform and opening up, other places were doing their best, and Baixiang people were still waiting to see. Can't fall behind. Third, both chemical fertilizer plants and Baixiang Chemical Fertilizer Plant were politically successful, but the development was slow. Similarly, Ningjin Chemical Fertilizer Plant put economic benefits first, with little loss and bold and rapid transformation. In the bankruptcy, it wisely cleared its debts and became a fertilizer plant preserved in Xingtai City. White elephant first bought a large compressor in Xingtai City, and when it was not used by itself, it was transferred to Yamaguchi Chemical Fertilizer Plant in Longyao County, and Longyao Chemical Fertilizer Plant became a thing. Later, Baixiang people woke up and bought a large compressor, but missed the opportunity. In the bankruptcy, the fertilizer plant could have lived well, but some leaders of Baixiang gave the fertilizer plant to a person in Gaoyi in the name of selling. This man made a fortune and sold the good Baixiang Fertilizer Plant. The equipment was worth at least 100 million yuan, which made foreigners tear down a net light. Selling a chemical fertilizer factory with a hundred million yuan10 million, Baixiang people really have "skills". Who is to blame for this? Is anyone in charge? Who suffers? Isn't it from Baixiang? Fourth, we white elephants have food, just like Nanhe and Renxian, and our food does not depend on the weather. This is an advantage. However, Baixiang people suffered a loss in this period, that is, small farmers were so serious that they didn't go out with food. They think white elephants are the best and don't go to other places to find business opportunities. Therefore, few Baixiang people go out and only see their own county. The outside world is wonderful. If Baixiang people don't go out, there will be no Baixiang people in business opportunities outside. Qinghe people discovered cashmere, a big industry in other places, and also found industries such as refractories, cemented carbide, seals and motorcycle cables, which made Qinghe people rich. Pingxiang people, led by an eight-level fitter and eight-level painter, have developed large industries such as bicycles and electronic components, and poor counties have become rich. Shahe people, Neiqiu people, Lincheng people and Xingtai county people can get rich by mining, while Longyao people are rich in instant noodles, wine, cement and other industries, so counties like Nanhe, which are re-elected, have industries such as sugar making machine, honeycomb coal machine, paper making machine, vermicelli, board making machine and paper making machine, not to mention Ningjin people who started with wires, clothing and monocrystalline silicon. We are the poorest without big enterprises as leaders. The most terrible thing is that even in the poorest situation, we can't come up with any good solutions. I have listened to many people's opinions, and no one can come up with any good solutions to the economic backwardness of Baixiang. Some people even say that Baixiang County should be abolished. First, expand the ability of white elephants to produce and sell goods, and expand the ability of white elephants to sell services. Everyone tries their best to sell their services, sell the intelligence and technology of the white elephant and make money for the white elephant. On the other hand, they save consumption and reduce the phenomenon of capital outflow. All walks of life and departments should contribute to this goal. Only when everyone has the same heart and makes the best use of everything can Baixiang have hope. Second, what kind of products do you want? In terms of increasing the commodity production capacity of Baixiang people, we hope to change several bad phenomena in Baixiang, choose the production direction, reduce pollution, reduce the consumption of energy and raw materials, adopt high-tech products as much as possible, and expand the capacity of net output value. Baixiang county should not develop paper industry, because paper industry is a high pollution and high water consumption industry. If pollution is not treated, profits will dry up. Obviously, it is wrong to choose the papermaking community. 1. Suggestions for going abroad: I think the Baixiang government should send dozens of civil servants in their thirties to work in economically developed areas. The county only pays one year's basic salary. These people work in advanced areas and earn their own money. However, everyone should write two economic analysis articles to the county every month to find out the thinking of the development of the white elephant, or to find out the sales situation of the white elephant's products, or to find out the way to adapt to the white elephant's choice of goods. A year later, these people may become far-sighted economic talents in Baixiang, some people may become economic leaders in Baixiang, and there may be several big bosses. Of course, a few people may not come back from other places, and it doesn't matter. As long as they are from Baixiang, they should be sent back to the place where Baixiang earns money. These elites of Baixiang people have traveled all over the country, broadened their horizons and saw the pulse of economic development in China and even the whole world, which is of great benefit to Baixiang's economic development ideas. Fifty people who work in other places will definitely gain financially. 2. Suggested invitation: 3. There are still three ways for Baixiang, one is joint venture, cooperation with foreign capital and cooperation with other places, the other is to develop Baixiang people's own joint-stock cooperative enterprises, and the third is to adjust farmers' planting structure and replant high value-added crops to increase farmers' income. 4. Baixiang, everyone pinned their hopes of getting rich on the county leaders. I said this hope is unrealistic. First of all, the current leadership mechanism, the county leader is responsible to the municipal party Committee, and he may consider how to implement the party's instructions and how to be more stable, rather than making a white elephant rich. Because getting rich is hard work, several cadres from other places want to be promoted through Baixiang as a springboard. As for how to get rich, he can't think so much. We just hope that he will give us a good environment and a good policy, so as not to get rich for the people of Baixiang. We Baixiang people have to struggle on our own, introduce foreign materials into China, change our thinking and develop industrial undertakings. It will take years, decades or even decades to make the white elephant rich. Will not become rich in the short term.
