Fortunately, Fan Heng just asked casually. He didn't mean to go into it in depth. At this time, Hu Kezhi received a call and ran outside to listen, which changed the topic.

Fan Wubing did not take on this sentence, but sat on the side and watched coldly. Sure enough, he found that Pang Mingyu's expression was extremely unnatural, obviously a little guilty. Several officials in the province also remained silent, obviously they were a little worried and did not want to mention this matter.

So Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng, "This time I came to Lingxi Province, I really want to take a walk around. Our Fan Investment Group is very interested in the heavy industry in Lingxi Province."

After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Guan Luping and others were obviously excited. They all looked at Fan Heng, hoping to get the support of the leader, but Fan Heng smiled and said, "We father and son are in charge of their own affairs. If you think it is interesting, let's go and negotiate with them, it's irrelevant."

After hearing Fan Heng's statement, Guan Luping and others understood that Fan Wubing followed him this time, and it was indeed interesting to support the economy of Lingxi Province. The name of Fan's Investment Group had long been passed to Lingxi Province. Which leader would not know about Fan Heng's success? This is inseparable from the strong support of his son Fan Wubing.

If Fan Wubing really intends to support Lingxi Province, I believe that it will not only be of great benefit to the economic development of Lingxi Province, but also be of great help to the official fortunes of himself. After all, the way for the rise of officials now is to consider it from a large extent based on GDP. As long as the economic development is improved, everything else is easy to say.

Seeing that Fan Wubing mentioned the industry in Lingxi Province, Guan Luping, as the governor, still needs to introduce it.

After liberation, in order to change the unbalanced industrial layout, the country adopted a regional economic policy of balanced development of industry, and the focus of industrial investment was tilted towards inland areas. Since a country's industrial construction cannot be separated from resource development, and Lingxi Province has a rich resource reserve and a complete variety, the planned mining and utilization of these resources has become a favorable factor for the development of heavy industry in Lingxi Province. The country has implemented an industrialization strategy of prioritizing the development of heavy industry. Therefore, Lingxi Province formed a heavy industry system with raw materials, energy and heavy processing industries as the focus during this period.

Natural resources are the basis for the formation and development of the productive force layout and the heavy industrialization structure of Lingxi Province. Before liberation, Lingxi Province's social economy was very backward, and resource-based industries with the development and utilization of agricultural natural resources and coal and other mineral resources as the main characteristics, occupying an extremely important position. After the founding of New China, especially the 24 key construction projects carried out in Lingxi Province during the first five-year plan of the country, a considerable number of them were resource-developing projects, including coal mining, non-ferrous metal smelting, chemical industry, etc. In particular, the later "three-line construction" strengthened the national defense industry and enhanced the development of heavy industry in Lingxi Province.

The coal, petroleum, non-ferrous metal and other mineral resources in Lingxi Province have played a decisive impact on the formation of the heavy industry structure. With the increasing demand for resources in the national economic development, the exploration of mineral resources has been increased. At present, the proven oil, natural gas and coal in Lingxi Province is extremely rich. However, due to some historical reasons, the development efforts are far insufficient, which has led to the economic development of Lingxi Province still lagging far behind other provinces.

Another thing is that for a long time, the main problem of the industrial structure of Lingxi Province is that heavy industry is more "heavy" and light industry is too "light". This is also caused by the rich mineral energy resources and strong heavy industrial structural foundation of Lingxi Province.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, the heavy industrialization structure of Lingxi Province was under the planned economy, by imitating the economic model of developed countries and regions, skipping some intermediate stages of division of labor and jumping into modern industrialization. In the extremely underdeveloped situation, a number of industrial enterprises with high professionalism were established in multiple industrial departments, skipping the gradual evolution of social specialization division of labor and industrial organizational structure experiments, advancing in a very short time, and realizing heavy industrialization.

The fatal flaw of this imitation is that it can only be imitated but not innovated. In other words, Lingxi Province lacks a group of professional and high-level industrial enterprises based on the actual economic development of the region, and has different organizational experiments based on its own economic characteristics. Therefore, it is difficult to create an industrialization model that meets the provincial conditions. If fundamental reforms are not carried out, the heavy industrialization structure and the reform of state-owned enterprises in Lingxi Province can only be an empty slogan.

"The problems in the industrial structure and the lagging institutional reform and insufficient investment in technological innovation make the structural contradictions of Lingxi's industry very prominent. The cost of industrial structure adjustment in the province has increased, and the adjustment work faces new challenges. The basic idea of ​​Lingxi's industrial structure adjustment is to seize the historical opportunity of the development of the western region and my country's joining WTO based on the problems in the industrial structure and the trend of domestic and foreign economic development. It aims to enhance industrial competitiveness, leads to emancipation of the mind, accelerates development as the theme, guides on domestic and foreign markets, and takes enterprises as the main body, and takes the reform of state-owned industrial enterprises and vigorously developing the non-state-owned economy as the center. It adheres to concept innovation, technological innovation, management innovation and institutional innovation, breaks the barriers between departments, industries and regions, and establishes a unified cooperative body." Guan Luping talked endlessly about his policies and policies in the province to Fan Heng and Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing laughed when he heard this and said to Guan Luping, "Uncle Guan, stop here first. I will give a report at the meeting and say that this is the most appropriate one. But I came here this time, but I came with real money. If your Lingxi Province has the ability to attract my investment, a total of 18 billion yuan will be settled. So, do you see, is it a more practical statement? For example, do you need to invest in any major projects with development potential?"

Guan Luping didn't think it was offended after hearing Fan Wubing's words. However, when he heard him say that he had an investment of 18 billion yuan, he felt a little disappointed. "There are quite a lot of projects, but the RMB 18 billion seems a bit too much. The things we need to do in Lingxi Province are big projects, with 18 billion yuan, and at most, it is to focus on supporting three or two companies."

The chief of the office sitting next to him smiled and said to Guan Luping, "Old Guan, you are a little confused. When Mr. Fan invests, he usually talks about US dollars."

"Ah?! Hundred and eighty billion US dollars! Oh, that's almost enough!" Guan Luping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said overjoyed.

In recent years, the rapid pull of the output value and benefits of the industrial economy of Lingxi Province has been continuing, and more and more people are encouraged by this. However, at the same time, the serious imbalance of the light and heavy industrial structure of Lingxi Province has brought about a series of problems that have brought about urban, rural, regional, and social and economic development in Lingxi has gradually become the focus of people's attention and discussion: Will the advanced development of heavy and chemical industry leave sequelae?

The coal mining and mining selection industry, oil and gas mining industry, oil processing industry, coking industry and other heavy chemical industries in Lingxi Province account for a huge proportion of the industrial structure of the province, and is also the main driving force for the leapfrog development of Lingxi Province's industrial economy.

Industry experts believe that in terms of historical development laws, in the process of industrialization, the industrial structure of a region must go through several stages: the stage dominated by the light textile industry; the heavy chemical industry stage centered on basic industries such as raw materials and fuel power; the stage dominated by low-level processing and assembly heavy chemical industry; the stage dominated by highly processing and assembly industry. The development of an area's industrial structure usually develops from the primary stage to the advanced stage.

However, the current industrial structure of Lingxi Province has the problem of advanced development of chemical industry. Although the advanced development of chemical industry will significantly increase the economic growth rate, it will also bring sequelae, namely, unbalanced urban and rural, regional, and social and economic development. Although the proportion of heavy industry is a structural problem within the industry, the consequences are broad and profound, especially it has an important impact on promoting the solution of urban and rural dual structure problems.

Although the advanced development of heavy chemical industry has supported the rapid growth of GDP in the province, due to the unbalanced light and heavy proportions in the industrial structure, the transfer of labor to the secondary industry has been hindered, and the proportion of labor used in the secondary industry in the province's employment is much lower than the national average.

Light industry is a labor-intensive industry, and heavy chemical industry is a capital-tech-intensive industry. The light industry in Lingxi Province that can absorb a large amount of labor and find employment is relatively small, which naturally hinders the transition from the primary industry to the secondary industry. This has led to the continuous widening of the income gap between urban and rural residents.

The widening of the income gap between urban and rural residents has hindered the accumulation of agricultural capital, hindered the process of agricultural industrialization, and further expanded the urban-rural development gap, resulting in a small number of people employed in the secondary industry. Its contribution rate to urban and rural residents' income is relatively low, which directly affects the growth and upgrading of urban and rural residents' consumption demand in the tertiary industry. This is also a major reason why the proportion of GDP in Lingxi Province's tertiary industry in recent years has not increased but decreased.

Other important categories of light industry in the province, such as textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc., have developed relatively slowly. Now it seems that Lingxi light industry still has many difficulties to overcome to truly embark on a healthy development track.

After listening carefully to Guan Luping's introduction to the current economic situation in Lingxi Province, Fan Wubing made a clear analysis and pointed out some of the current problems in Lingxi Province one by one, which opened the eyes of the leaders of Lingxi Province present. Unexpectedly, Fan Wubing could see the problem so thoroughly by simply analyzing it. He is truly a genius in economics.

Several ministerial leaders who followed Fan Heng were also very moved and envious of Fan Heng for having such a good son.

"Then Mr. Fan means that he needs to change the current situation of imbalance in light and heavy industries?" Guan Luping asked Fan Wubing for advice with great concern.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "That's not the case. It doesn't have to balance it. Expanding production capacity is naturally a way. In fact, the equipment manufacturing industry has always been a key pillar industry in Lingxi Province. It has always played an important role in the stable and healthy development of the industry, and has a relatively obvious driving effect on upstream and downstream industries. Especially in the central area of ​​Lingxi, after a long period of development, it has gradually formed the transportation equipment manufacturing industry, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, general equipment manufacturing industry and special equipment manufacturing industry as the main body.

The advantageous industrial cluster, Lingxi Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and other large enterprises have always been key backbone enterprises in the province. Power transmission and distribution and control equipment, aircraft, industrial automation instruments, electrical instruments, petroleum exploration instruments and coal exploration instruments are all in an advantageous position in the country. This part of the advantages must be maintained. At the same time, the medical and health and textile industries can be strongly supported to solve employment problems and people's livelihood problems. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can the economy of Lingxi Province be truly improved.”

"So do you have any specific thoughts?" Guan Luping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't care about neglecting Fan Heng, and hurriedly asked Fan Wubing.

"Haha, I think the pharmaceutical, health and textile industry can vigorously develop investments from non-public enterprises, which can easily achieve miraculous results. In terms of manufacturing, it can also absorb some external capital and effectively use these funds for development while ensuring state-owned control. In particular, more technological innovations and independent intellectual property innovations should be carried out, and economic benefits should be required to develop in the development of high-tech." Fan Wubing pointed out the most lacking conditions in Lingxi Province without hesitation. "In short, it is to vigorously introduce useful talents, and vigorously support local counterpart universities. Put what you have learned into practice, and cultivate more technical talents that you can use." Fan Wubing replied very easily.

"Which direction does Mr. Fan plan to invest all his money?" Guan Luping asked again.

"This should be the first to submit a feasibility report, and then I can choose some projects to do it, right? It's a bit too early to talk about this." Fan Wubing replied with a smile.

After a while, everyone left, and Fan Heng and Fan Wubing were left in the room.

Fan Heng asked, "You really plan to invest 18 billion US dollars here?"

Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "On the one hand, it is possible to invest here, and on the other hand, it is to cooperate with your work. Since we have to deal with important cadres in Lingxi Province, we have to ensure that there will be no rebound. I have thrown out such a large amount of bait now. I believe that the majority of people who are willing to cooperate must be. Even if you attack a group of ** elements, it will not cause too much rebound, because we are holding on to the majority!"

After hearing this, Fan Heng thought deeply for a while, and then he greatly appreciated Fan Wubing's methods. Sure enough, for officials, there were probably not many people who could refuse the influence of GDP. The big cakes drawn by Fan Wubing for them were enough to add a few more brilliant political achievements to the big men in the province. This temptation is indeed great.

The strategy is the most correct way to pull a group of people and fight a group of people. If you offend all the people, you will be unable to do your job.
