One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Five: Hard Training of Internal Strength

Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restarting Life: I can call myself ten years ago. Brothers, help me collect it and give some recommendations!

******************

Originally, our technical reserves were seriously insufficient in this area, especially in terms of industrial motherboards.

Whether it is software or hardware, if you want to achieve a breakthrough, it will take five to ten years of hard work.

Yes, a breakthrough is just possible.

But with the emergence of Spark Technology, the ten-year gap was evened out overnight...

There is also our weakest chip industry, also because Spark Technology launched carbon nanotube chips.

And truly completed the corner overtaking!

It can be said that the progress of our science and technology has caused panic outside.

And now we and other countries outside the world are adapting to this change.

Therefore, the reaction of many Western countries is understandable, after all, since the industrial revolution and the great geographical discovery.

They have been leading the world for hundreds of years, and now an Eastern country suddenly surpasses them in the field of technology.

They will inevitably feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, it is reasonable to carry out some industrial chain transfers.

And on our side, there are actually a lot of things that we are not comfortable with.

For example, in the past, we have been struggling to catch up with Western countries.

In all aspects of technology, we can say that we are lagging behind in all aspects.

But now as we continue to make breakthroughs in various fields of science and technology.

Finally, we have made major breakthroughs in several fields, and are even leading the world.

Now we have become the leader in the eyes of others. We have gone from chasing others to being chased by others.

We are also very uncomfortable with such a role.

However, our managers are still very experienced.

The more we achieve technological breakthroughs, the more we must hold steady at this time,

Can't waste it!

At this time, the managers above felt that the first thing we should do is to practice our internal skills first.

Just like the United States at the beginning of the last century, in the 1900s, its GDP actually surpassed the United Kingdom and became the first in the world.

Wasn't it true that he had been a junior for decades, and finally seized the opportunity to rise to the top after two world wars?

And now, let alone becoming the number one in the world, we are still far from the number one in the world!

And our national GDP data does look pretty good, but our per capita GDP data is very low.

Let alone the huge gap with the United States, let’s just say it is with the Southern Dynasties.

They have just promulgated the national minimum wage standard that will be implemented next year, which is about 10,000 soft girl coins.

Looking at the magical city with the highest per capita GDP in my country, the per capita minimum wage level promulgated is only 2,500...

It’s four times worse than the Southern Dynasties!

Therefore, our knowledgeable people know very well that the next thing we have to do is to practice internal strength.

Let’s make our domestic cake bigger and stronger, and then let the people actually enjoy the dividends of national development.

Just like the United States in the last century, why did it become the world's big brother?

Many people would say that it was because the United States seized the opportunity of the two world wars and had both sides.

These are not false, but in reality!

But why is it that after World War II, after Europe regained its economic strength and could compete with the United States in terms of economic scale and technological strength, the United States was still the world leader?

If you can see through the phenomenon to the essence, you will find it.

The reason why the United States is strong is not only its military hegemony, technological hegemony, and financial hegemony.

Another very important factor is that they are the most powerful consumer market in the world.

Yes, a huge consumer market of 300 million people.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that although they only have 300 million people, their consumption power is equivalent to that of half the earth...

The reason why Europe united to form an EU back then was actually to challenge this market.

It's a pity that even if various customs barriers are opened up and eliminated among European countries, the consumption power is still not as good as that of the United States.

As for us, let alone that.

Some bosses have even said that even though we have a population of more than one billion in our country, in fact, only 200 million people have real spending power.

In fact, the boss is very polite. It would be great to have 100 million.

And the consumption power of this population of 100 million is only equivalent to a quarter of that of Americans!

So this is the main reason why people have always said that the United States is the engine of the world economy.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the big brother in the American market sneezes, the whole world will catch a cold.

What this means is that if Americans stop consuming, the world's economy will slow down.

Because nowadays, every manufacturing company in the world can hardly avoid the big market of the United States!

If American consumers reduce consumption, even companies that do not directly face the market will be impacted by fluctuations in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

It can be seen that the strength of a country is not just military and technological strength.

There is another very important factor, that is, you must be strong in terms of spending power.

And this is our current shortcoming!

Our current domestic consumption level still has a lot of room for improvement.

Therefore, in the next ten years, our attention will be mainly focused on domestic economic development and construction.

In the past, our economic development mainly relied on the Troika.

Consumption, investment, and export!

However, exports have long been ineffective, and the other consumption, which was very popular in the early years, was actually mainly concentrated in the real estate field.

As for investment, it is mainly large-scale infrastructure projects.

However, in recent years, due to the stalling of real estate and the basic saturation of infrastructure, all three companies have begun to be unable to succeed.

Therefore, the higher authorities are also struggling to find new breakthroughs.

Among them, energy structure transformation has become a major breakthrough, such as switching from previous petrochemical energy sources to renewable green energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy.

Switching from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles.

And now, Spark Technology's series of breakthroughs in key technical fields have provided us with a breakthrough for upgrading the technology industry.

Breakthroughs in these technological fields will first be applied to our national defense and domestic heavy industry systems.

In the past, our northern region was a traditional heavy industry area.

However, in recent years, due to overcapacity and the lack of leading technologies and products.

Going up a level further, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough, and many heavy industrial industries are in a difficult state.

However, with the technical support of Spark Technology, many heavy industry companies have begun to regain their vitality.

For example, Koyo began to rise suddenly, and then their machine tools began to be sold nationwide.

Then there are enterprises such as ZWZ, Kazakhstan Machinery, Bincheng Shipbuilding, Big Brother Railway, Sinopec, PetroChina and a series of other companies.

They all began to iterate on technology, use new machine tools, and develop new production equipment.

Not only can production capacity be increased, but most importantly, the efficiency of product production can be greatly improved.

As productivity rises, product costs fall, so product prices can float downward to benefit consumers.

The competitiveness of enterprises will be improved. Finally, consumers can buy more things with the same money, and their willingness to consume will naturally be stronger.

Consumption power will naturally increase. With more consumption, the vitality of the entire society will be more abundant.

Moreover, the products of these companies are not only recognized by consumers in China.

The competitiveness overseas has also been greatly improved.

For example, our railway has been striving to go global.

Unfortunately, in Southeast Asia, we had many battles with the Japanese Shinkansen, and most of them ended in defeat.

Why is this happening?

Because on the one hand, the Japanese are really good at stirring up trouble. What they pursue is the mindset that if I can’t get it, you can’t even think about it.

In the past, if we didn’t go abroad to promote high-speed rail, they wouldn’t do it either.

Hey! Later, we came out to promote high-speed rail to Southeast Asian countries, and their special codes came.

And as long as we participate in the project, they will also follow us to participate in the bidding.

Moreover, the bidding prices were often lower than ours, and in the end many projects were snatched away by them.

Especially the high-speed rail projects in South Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries.

During that time, we were really angry because what they did was completely harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves.

And they will try every means to choke our necks.

For example, our high-speed rail has a lot of equipment that was originally purchased from them.

For example, the PLC control unit was purchased from Mitsubishi before, and the screws that never loosened were also purchased from Hadlock.

There are also many electronic components, also made from Japan.

Hey, when Japanese companies compete with us, these grandson companies will suddenly take a step back and raise prices for you.

This greatly increases our costs and gives us no price advantage when bidding.

Naturally, we won't be able to compete with them. To be honest, we suffered a lot from this in the beginning.

But now, almost all our products are 100% domestically produced.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about them.

And this time we chose to go overseas and expand markets, and we also specifically chose countries that are friendly to us.

As for those countries that are duplicitous and only want to take advantage, we will not tolerate them at all.

Our main focus is on several traditionally friendly countries in the south. In these places, our influence is relatively large.

And building high-speed rail for them doesn’t seem to make much money.

But actually... you know...

Not only is there output in high-speed rail, there are also many large-scale infrastructure projects, and we have also begun to make continuous efforts.

In the past, when we contracted large-scale infrastructure projects overseas, we often did so at a loss.

But that's not the case now, because first of all, we have greatly improved the level of mechanization.

Secondly, the engineering equipment we use used to be purchased in large quantities from Japan, such as Komatsu, Mitsubishi, or Doosan from the Southern Dynasties.

This greatly increases our cost of developing overseas projects!
