At this time, a leader pointed to the map of Anbao County in the conference room and asked:
"If we want to build an industrial park, what area should we define?"
Leader Jing walked to the map, pointed to the Bao'an County map and said:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi suggested that the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway be used as the dividing line, and the industrial park should be located on the eastern side."
Leader Wu pointed to the area of Shatoujiao and Yantian Port in the future:
"Look, there's a place called 'Donghe' here, which is actually Shatoujiao Commune, covering about 6 square kilometers. Together with the nearby Yantian Town, it covers a total of 50 square kilometers.
Comrade Lin Sanqi's opinion is that the first phase of the industrial park should be built here, and then expanded to the entire county, but it will definitely not exceed the scope of Bao'an County."
Some leaders raised questions:
"Is this place connected to the Xiangjiang River?"
Leader Jing explained:
"Lin Sanqi's suggestion is that the salaries of engineers and workers going to the Sha Tau Kok Industrial Zone should be based on Hong Kong standards, so that the incomes of both sides are equal."
“Hiss~~~”
Everyone gasped again. Others might not know, but how could they not know how much ordinary workers in Hong Kong earn?
If you take into account the price difference between the two places, it is equivalent to working in the mainland and the income you get has purchasing power several times that of Hong Kong.
One leader exclaimed, "How can this factory still make money? Labor costs are a heavy burden."
Leader Jing smiled and said:
"It's not just workers coming here. Lin Sanqi plans to establish a university in Bao'an County. He has a lot of advanced technology brought from abroad, and he needs a large number of university students and professors to digest and absorb it, and then apply it to production. This is called the integration of industry, academia, and research."
"This Lin Sanqi is quite ambitious!"
"What are you afraid of? Bao'an County is our territory. If something goes wrong, the monk can escape but the temple cannot!"
"That's right. The initiative is in our hands. Why should we be afraid of Monkey King jumping out of the Five Elements Mountain?"
At this time, another leader asked:
"If we really want to build so many factories, we'll need a lot of workers. How is Lin Sanqi going to recruit them?"
This question is still answered by Leader Jing:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi's opinion was that all the workers he wanted must have a junior high school education or above. And all the engineers needed a university degree, preferably one with overseas study experience.
As for those students who were going to work in the countryside, they could all be sent to Bao'an County. The reason for this was to support the frontier. Bao'an County was not a border area. Of course, Lin Sanqi was responsible for supporting all the educated youth.
Also, among those laid off from the city, those with professional skills were recruited from the countryside, and some of the truly talented ones were sent to Bao'an County."
At this time, a certain leader finally chuckled: "What a sly guy."
"Old Li, what's your opinion?"
Leader Li, who was also an old fox, didn't agree or disagree, but just complained:
"We're short of money right now. Whether it's importing grain and fertilizer or developing the national economy, every aspect requires financial investment. But where's the money coming from? I'm so anxious I'm turning gray."
The chief leader sighed and said, "Yes, even a penny can make a hero fall."
The conference room fell silent. The natural disaster had lasted for three years, and the people of the country still didn't know that the most difficult time was over. Not everyone had Lin Sanqi's God's perspective.
If 1962 is another year of frequent disasters, the national economy will be paralyzed. At this time, money is urgently needed, very urgently.
At this time, a leader voiced support:
"Let's give it a try and see if this industrial park can succeed and create benefits for the people. If it doesn't work out, we can adjust it later. It's not our money anyway, so why should we worry about losses?"
Hehehe~~~Everyone chuckled.
At this time, the chief leader also made up his mind:
"Well then, let this forest monkey give it a try."
Leader Jing clenched his fist, and now everything was stable.
But this was exactly what Lin Sanqi wanted. He was afraid that someone from above would come and dictate everything. Would he listen or not? Would he obey the call or not?
Asking questions means interfering. Today, Leader Zhang arranges a few people to serve as management, and tomorrow, Leader Li arranges his confidants to take up a temporary position. Everyone wants to get a piece of the fat meat.
As time went on, the management of the factory was completely occupied by this group of people. Who would then listen to Lin Sanqi, the real boss?
So the higher-ups didn't care and let him do whatever he wanted. Lin Sanqi felt that this would help him realize his ideal "utopia".
Leader Jing then thought of another question:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi is currently also serving as the director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital. If he plans to build a new factory in the south for a long time, how will his position be adjusted?"
A leader pondered for a moment and expressed his opinion:
“Local affairs are often prone to disputes.
Therefore, we still need to support Comrade Lin Sanqi's work. If we can't support him financially or with policies, then we can only give him a special sword of authority in secret, so we still have to increase his burden."
"However, what Comrade Lin Sanqi wants to do is quite sensitive, and it's not something we can define qualitatively. We still need to observe it. It's like an experiment, and its success is still uncertain.
So my suggestion is to let Lin Sanqi just hold the title of Executive Deputy Commissioner of Fushan District and the principal person in charge of Bao'an County, and let the administrative position be a bit disadvantageous.
However, we can let him serve as the clerk of the Fushan Military Sub-district and give him two bars and four stars, so that his power will actually increase.
One advantage of this job arrangement is that Comrade Lin Sanqi does not have to worry about specific local work and can concentrate on managing the entire Bao'an County.
It's just one county. No matter what they do, we have thousands of counties across the country. If the experiment in one county fails, it will not affect the overall situation.
In addition, Lin Sanqi's official position should not be changed. He should still serve as the director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital, and he will be publicly identified in this capacity when communicating with the outside world.
A hospital director poses little threat, and foreign countries won't take him seriously. But if he were an official, foreign countries might not easily grant him entry."
Leader Jing joked at this time
"They clearly said they would give him more responsibilities. I thought he would be promoted one level, but in the end, he was demoted two levels and became a county magistrate. Comrade Lin Sanqi will be crying now."
Everyone in the conference room laughed again
After a certain leader laughed, he said seriously:
"Tell Comrade Lin Sanqi that his superiors only give him power but not any financial support. Although I am not the head of the economic department, I also know how huge the investment will be to build a factory.
Lin Sanqi wanted to build an industrial park, but 50 square kilometers was far from enough. The project was very large and required not only manpower but also a large amount of materials. The demand for steel bars and cement alone was estimated to be insufficient even with the support of the entire country.
So when you go back, research it and think about giving him some other material compensation. For example, he likes Chinese medicinal herbs, like musk and bezoar. Give him whatever you have in stock nationwide, and if there's not enough, go collect it immediately.
Besides, he likes antiques? Besides national treasures, if he wants any other antiques, we can give them to him. We can exchange a few pretty-looking but useless vases and paintings for a bunch of modern factories. We can definitely make a profit, it's worth it."
Leader Jing nodded while taking notes:
"Okay, with your words, we feel reassured. We've been paying off our debt for three years, and now we're finally done. We can now focus on economic development." (End of this chapter)
