Chapter 448: Islands Development Plan
Lin Wanxia is not as good at business as Chen Manshu.
But the officers and soldiers stationed on Jiang Sinian Islands need to be paid allowances and fed.
Now the bulk of Xiangyang Island's income comes from the shipyard.
For Xiangyang Island, which is not a big island, one shipyard can easily support the people on the island.
But Jiang Sinian has been promoted now. Although he is still only a deputy regiment commander, he is in charge of the economy.
There is no other way. The leaders above saw that Jiang Sinian's business was the only one in the entire Xinzhong Islands that was doing well. Not only did it support Xiangyang Island, but it could also cover the military expenditures of the entire Xinzhong Islands. So they simply let him take charge of the island economy and take care of Xiangyang Island's military and local chief officers.
Otherwise, Jiang Sinian would not have been so busy that he did not take a vacation last year.
Lin Wanxia took Yueyue to visit each island.
In the past, they took fishing boats, but now there are yachts and speedboats, which makes it very convenient to travel between islands.
The mother and daughter tasted the local characteristics while studying the local economy.
If they ate something delicious or found something fun, they would not forget to send a copy to Xingxing.
Of course, most of the things sent can be preserved for a long time.
Lin Wanxia would write down the ideas she thought of in a notebook and discuss them with Jiang Sinian after returning home.
For example, when traveling between the islands, Lin Wanxia thought that they could do some shipping.
That is, there would be a ship with fixed time and fixed point that could carry everyone to and from the islands every day.
It can be a single line or multiple lines.
Jiang Sinian said that he had considered it, but now the most populous islands in the archipelago are the Central Island and Xiangyang Island. There are not many people on the other islands, and shipping would be a loss.
"That's why we have to do it! Only when people start to flow, people from other islands can come to your islands. Not all businesses can make steady profits, and many businesses start with losses." Lin Wanxia said generously, "I'll invest, and you guys buy shares."
So the shipping matter was settled.
After a tour, Lin Wanxia's notebook was filled with notes.
There are economic commonalities and economic individualities on the islands.
What industries should be developed for those with economic commonalities, and what industries should be engaged in for those with economic individualities.
There are two other major things that cannot be avoided.
First, the islands must have electricity.
Normal civilian electricity.
This requires laying submarine cables.
Jiang Sinian said that it had been reported a long time ago, and the results were discussed in a meeting. Now the bidding has been completed and construction is about to begin.
But such a large project cannot be completed in a short time, and it cannot be rushed.
Second, talent introduction.
There must be people for development.
The conditions on the island are too harsh, and few people are willing to come here.
After all, in the 1980s, universities still guaranteed jobs, and everyone had a stable job, and they had to be cadres.
The more this happened, the fewer people were willing to come to remote islands.
Jiang Sinian said: "I have also considered the problem you mentioned. I am also groping for a solution. Didn't you participate in it?"
Lin Wanxia looked at Jiang Sinian blankly, she had no impression.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
"Maybe you said it casually when you were half asleep."
At that time, Jiang Sinian was worried about how to attract highly educated intellectuals to the island.
Lin Wanxia yawned and told her two stories.
One was the "Western Development" and "Teaching in Rural Areas", and the other was the city's "Talent Introduction" plan.
Actually, it can't be considered a story. To Lin Wanxia, it is a fact.
For example, teaching in remote areas.
Teaching in remote areas has existed for many years.
In order to develop education in remote areas, especially in mountainous areas, the country called on and encouraged outstanding young teachers to teach in remote areas.
For the children, they have good teachers.
For the teachers, they have to suffer for two years, but they can have substantial benefits when they come back.
Lin Wanxia talked about a male teacher in her class who went to Tibet to teach in rural areas when she was in elementary school.
This teacher was just an ordinary teacher in the school, and his family did not have a formal job.
But if he came back after two years of teaching in rural areas, he could get a promotion and a raise, and he would also arrange formal jobs for his family.
In the two years, this teacher sent back a lot of photos. The school in the photos was really shabby, and the children were really poor. The teacher, who was only in his thirties, looked like a middle-aged man and was extremely dark.
Later, when Lin Wanxia was in junior high school, I heard that he was promoted to vice-president of the school after he came back, and his family members had jobs arranged. Later,
when Lin Wanxia went to college, their school had a plan for the development of the western region.
Freshly graduated college students went to work in poor and backward towns.
Two years later, if they wanted to take a public-owned targeted job, they could get five extra points, and if they wanted to take a postgraduate exam, they could get ten extra points.
Lin Wanxia and her classmates jokingly called the development of the western region a two-year civil service experience card.
In addition, there are selected students.
The selected students are a bit similar to the volunteers for the development of the western region.
They are all freshly graduated college students who work at the grassroots level.
The difference is that the selected students are all real civil servants, and they are also reserve candidates for cadres.
Then there is the talent introduction plan.
With the aging of the population, the birth rate is declining, and there are fewer and fewer young people.
Many cities have also invested heavily in order to retain young people.
For example, eligible young people who come to the city to settle down and work will be allocated housing, given money, and given some other substantial benefits to attract talents to settle down.
After listening to Jiang Sinian's explanation, Lin Wanxia exclaimed, "Oh!", "I was just speaking casually. After all, times are different. In the era I was talking about, college graduates were not assigned jobs, so these plans were useful. I thought they would not be suitable here."
Jiang Sinian nodded, "It's a bit difficult to implement, but after some improvements, it's quite useful."
By the end of the 1980s, the college entrance examination had been restored for ten years, and college students were no longer so rare.
The assigned jobs are also varied.
Some are good and some are bad.
Maybe you want to go to city A but end up in city B.
Maybe you want to be a civil servant but end up in a non-profit organization.
In short, not everyone can be satisfied.
Most state-owned enterprises are overcrowded.
Affected by reform and opening up, the big pot meal can no longer solve the problem of food and clothing for workers, but is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the impact of the market economy.
More and more people need to be allocated housing, but the unit has no money to build houses, and sometimes three generations are crowded into one house.
Most people in factories or enterprise housing management offices wear helmets to work.
A job that can be allocated housing and has a high salary will still attract young people.
The appeal of selected students is no less than that of the new century.
"However..." Jiang Si sighed, "We still have limited conditions here, and the talent introduction plan is not advancing so quickly. Even if someone wants to come, there are not so many jobs for them."
There are really not many residents on the islands, and there are only two islands that can be called prosperous.
Lin Wanxia felt that it was a bit like the chicken and the egg.
There is a lack of talent, and there are no jobs when people are introduced. If there are no jobs, there is a lack of talent.
Lin Wanxia thought for a long time and suggested: "Do you want to consider allocating talents according to regulations first? For example, is Xiangyang Island regulated by a town or a county? What kind of configuration does a county's local administration need? What kind of configuration does a town need?!"
