Chapter 713 Past Life Memories Kill People
In fact, some of his words were true and some were false.
It is true that there were many patriots among the scientists returning from studying abroad at this time, but there were also some elites who had been brainwashed abroad and had a high opinion of themselves. On the one hand, they constantly advocated the development of foreign countries, and on the other hand, they constantly belittled their own country's culture.
This is also the reason why Zhou Tian frowned, and the most important point is that the upcoming movement is not friendly to these people, and he does not want to participate in it. If his next destination is really the Academy of Sciences, he would rather go back to the steel mill and be an ordinary worker again.
"Xiaotian, of course this is just my uncle's guess. No matter what happens, the organization will definitely give you an answer after the New Year! You don't have to worry so much in advance!"
Seeing his nephew’s brows furrowed even more tightly, Liu Wei couldn’t help but speak out to comfort him.
But thinking about what his nephew had just said, he felt that what he said made sense.
"Okay, uncle, let's see what's arranged from above!"
Zhou Tian took a deep breath and didn't want to say much. Then he talked to his uncle about the future development of Changping. When he mentioned this, his uncle's expression suddenly became excited.
He kept talking about the changes in Changping in the past two years, especially the development of the various branches under the Sijiucheng Research Institute. When he was excited, his voice even got louder.
"Xiaotian, last year alone, the profits of the branches under these research institutes in Changping reached tens of billions of dollars, and the orders of each factory are in short supply. This year's profits are expected to break last year's record."
"And I recently heard a piece of news that the higher-ups intend to split up several of the branches and set up a few more inland!"
As he spoke, Liu Wei's originally excited expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry.
You know, these branch factories are all in Changping District. Although they are not under the jurisdiction of Changping, the economic benefits they bring are no weaker than the economic development of Changping District. They have even driven a lot of Changping's economic growth.
If the higher-ups really want to split up these branches, it will be difficult for Changping to maintain this level of economic growth in the future!
"What? There is such a thing?"
When Zhou Tian heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"Uncle, if the higher-ups really intend to do this, you must not agree to it. No, I'll ask Lao Zhang about this first!"
Having said that, he immediately stood up and walked to the phone in his uncle's office and called Zhang Mingzhi. He did not say much until the phone rang, but directly asked Zhang Mingzhi to come to the Changping District Government.
"What's wrong? Xiaotian, is there anything wrong with splitting up the factory?"
Liu Wei looked at Zhou Tian's silent face after he finished the call and couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, some things are not as simple as they seem!"
Zhou Tian sighed and continued, "The reason why I established various branches here and used some orders and outsourcing to attract many factories here was to build a complete industrial chain!"
"If the higher-ups really want to split up the factory now, then the cost will be more than just splitting up the factory. The price to be paid will be an astronomical figure!!"
Just think about how much energy is required to build a complete industrial chain. Even he took nearly ten years to build it. Now the people above want to split it up and copy it.
It's not that it's impossible, but with the country's current economic foundation, if we really want to do it, the time and money it will cost will be astronomical. Even though the country's foreign exchange reserves are already considerable, compared with the investment, it is really a drop in the bucket.
Of course, if the whole country works together, it is not impossible to succeed, but the amount of money and manpower required will be daunting.
Zhou Tian then told Liu Wei all the details. After hearing what his nephew said, Liu Wei couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, "Xiaotian, is it really that exaggerated?"
"Uncle, put aside your doubts, it's just so exaggerated!"
No one understands better than him how difficult it is to establish a complete industrial chain, especially the automotive industry chain. If it were only the home appliance industry chain, it would be easy to deal with, but the problem is that when it comes to the automotive industry chain, it is not just something that other industrial chains can compare to.
Just look at the automobile manufacturing city of Bald Eagle in the previous life and you will know that the industries involved are simply innumerable, although the current car factory in Changping has not yet reached the level of perfection in later generations.
But it is also connected to dozens of related factories in the surrounding areas, and it cannot be separated just like that.
Thirty minutes later, with the arrival of Zhang Mingzhi, Zhou Tian got the confirmed news from him that the splitting of the research institute branch had actually been decided in October.
Suddenly, Zhou Tian fell into silence, and Liu Wei frowned and kept smoking.
"Old leader, District Chief Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhou Tian and Liu Wei fall silent after what he said, Zhang Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Lao Zhang, I'm afraid things are going to get serious!"
Zhou Tian told Zhang Mingzhi the pros and cons of splitting the branch factory with a wry smile. Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhi's eyes widened and he looked at his old leader in disbelief.
"Old leader, it can't be that serious, right?"
"Not serious? Hehehe!"
Zhou Tian shook his head bitterly, "I'm afraid it's even more serious than this, but it's too late to say anything now. Since the higher-ups have already made the decision, we can only hope to reduce some of the losses!"
In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind as to why the higher-ups made this decision. If he had not awakened his memories of his past life, he would have agreed with the decision.
But the problem is that he is very clear about the future development of the country, so he does not agree with the higher-ups doing so. But now that the higher-ups have made the decision, he can only try his best to find ways to reduce the country's losses.
After thinking about it, he kept thinking of solutions in his mind. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Since things are unstoppable, if all the factories are expanded and split, would this reduce some of the unnecessary losses?
Moreover, by doing so, some industries can be relocated to the northwest or north China, forming regional competition and thus diversifying products.
Although this will not reduce the burden on the country, it will be much easier than relocating the industrial chain. As for equipment, given the current domestic situation, it is not a problem at all.
Suddenly, he found himself in a dead end.
Yes, if it were in the previous life, splitting up these industries would indeed be a big problem, and the amount of money required would be astronomical. But now is the time, in this era, both the workers and the factories belong to the country, and it seems that no other expenditure is required.
In this way, a large part of the invisible expenses would be reduced. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.
"Damn, the memories of my past life are killing me!"
