That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1252 You are hitting your own people!

"Do you mean that developing the automotive industry chain well can enable 100 million people to reach the living standards of developed countries?"

"Yes, for example, Japan's automobile industry has now reached world-class level. The automobile industry chain has driven the development of related industries such as steel, chemicals, and electronics."

"Japan has a population of just over 100 million, right? Do they rely on this automotive industry chain to become a developed country?"

"Not really. Japan also has high-end industrial chains such as home appliances, shipbuilding, and semiconductors, so their per capita income and living standards are far above the standards of developed countries."

"If you put it that way, we understand."

The automobile industry is very important, and the older generation would certainly acknowledge this, because they have come through the war years and they all know that cannons still need to be towed by cars rather than expecting soldiers to push them.

Therefore, after 1949, the mainland paid great attention to the development of automobiles, and automobile projects such as Jiqi and Nanjing Automobile were launched one after another.

But if you ask how important the automotive industry is, most people cannot give an accurate quantitative indicator.

Even if these big guys ask those well-known experts and scholars, they can only give you some vague descriptions such as "expected, should, possible", because they are afraid that they might make a mistake and ruin their hard-earned reputation.

Li Ye knew that all the bigwigs and superiors did not like this kind of vague summary. They wanted to hear definite and precise statements, like Yuan Chonghuan’s military order-like statement of “pacify Liaoning in five years”.

In the Ming Dynasty court at that time, no minister dared to say with certainty that he could pacify the Liao Dynasty, but Yuan Chonghuan dared to do so. How could Emperor Chongzhen not look at him differently?

In addition, many charlatans in history and some executives decades later also used the same routine. They would brag on the PPT first, and no matter whether it succeeded or not, they would first attract the attention of the big guys.

With the current status of a nobody like Li Ye, he finally has a chance to speak in front of a big shot. If he still says something foolishly like "It's not hard, I'm serving XX", then this opportunity to speak will be wasted.

So when Li Ye said "100 million people", just like when Yuan Chonghuan said "pacify Liaoning in five years", it immediately aroused the interest of several bigwigs.

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan's five-year plan to pacify Liaoning was just an exaggeration, while Li Ye's population of 100 million was real data derived from practical analysis in later generations. Each high-end industrial chain can indeed enable 50 to 100 million people to reach the living standards of developed countries.

However, for every high-end production line that a developing country masters, 50 to 100 million people in the formerly developed countries will decline to the living standards of a developing country.

Li Ye didn't mention this.

Because once you say it, things become complicated.

After entering the new century, the total population of developed and semi-developed regions in the world was less than 1.2 billion, so some Western economists announced that the world could not support flower-growing countries to become developed countries.

However, flower growers have never been willing to be inferior to others. They have successively taken over high-end industries such as smartphones, home appliances, and shipbuilding, and then continued to make breakthroughs in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, chip manufacturing and other fields.

The cake of this planet is so small. Although the overall productivity of human civilization is constantly improving, the speed of improvement is much slower than the speed of transition between development and underdevelopment.

Therefore, since the mainland began industrial upgrading, it has been destined to become a rival of Western countries. It can only give up its illusions and prepare for fierce battles.

However, Li Ye believed that the flower growers in the 1990s did not want to fight. If Li Ye spoke too bluntly, would these old men hold him down and ask him to wait a while? Would a little impatience ruin a great plan?

Li Ye knew the development achievements of the flower-growing family in a few decades, until no opponent could influence the completion and final result of the industrial upgrading, not even the lighthouse.

But no one in the mainland thinks so now. The lighthouse now is the sun at noon, and no one can resist it.

But Li Ye still underestimated the power of these old men. They may not have received many years of education, but they have experienced countless things in their lives and have their own understanding of the root causes of the world's problems. "So according to what you said, as long as all countries in the world develop the automobile industry, they will all be developed countries? After all, the population of many countries is less than 100 million."

"."

Li Ye's heart trembled, and he dared not hide it anymore, so he said frankly: "There are many countries in the world, but there are not many countries like us that have a complete industrial system, so we have the ability to develop a high-end automobile industry."

“In addition, for every high-end industrial chain that developing countries control, nearly 100 million people in developed countries will fall to the level of developing countries.”

"Because when our industrial output and scale reach a certain level, we must occupy overseas markets, that is, export to earn foreign exchange."

"So Western developed countries don't allow us to master world-leading technology. They are deceiving us. They only want us to produce shirts and socks, not cars, airplanes, and ships."

"."

When Li Ye said "They are lying to us", he was very nervous, because now the idea of ​​"market for technology" is very popular, and there are a large number of people who are vested interests. Li Ye didn't know whether these old men in front of him would be angry because of this.

But the next moment, Li Ye heard a few old men laughing and saying, "No wonder this guy is a thorn in the eyes of others! It turns out that he saw through it!"

"Well, I've seen a lot, but I don't dare to say much. I'm still too young and need more practice."

"You can temper him, but you can't make him a sly person. He still needs to have some courage to deal with Westerners."

"."

Li Ye felt embarrassed and ashamed.

He didn't expect that these older generations actually knew the ill intentions of Westerners.

But think about it, they have either been fighting desperately with others or struggling with others throughout their lives, so they must have a more thorough understanding of the competition between people.

The relationship between people is the core of the contradictions in this world.

"I am afraid that my brothers are having a hard life, and I am also afraid that my brothers are driving a Land Rover." Wasn't this what Su E was thinking when he wanted to make the Flower Growers his younger brother?

So during the honeymoon period between Westerners and the flower growers, it seemed that they gave the flower growers a bowl of soup, but the older generation knew in their hearts that their bowl of soup was not cheap and would definitely not fill the flower growers.

However, although Li Ye felt ashamed, after hearing the teasing tone of the elders, they did not laugh at Li Ye for showing off his skills in front of an expert. Instead, they thought that "this boy is very interesting."

At this time, the old man sitting in the middle suddenly asked, "I have another question for you. Recently, some other automobile companies have complained that your products are being dumped at low prices and are about to put them out of business. What do you think about this issue?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said, "I think there is progress only when there is competition. My grandfather always told me that when he was fighting, some troops had a strong fighting spirit and became stronger and stronger, while some troops always avoided and were finally beaten to pieces."

The old man smiled and said, "At that time, we were fighting the enemy, but now you are fighting our brothers, our own people!"

"."

[No way! Aren’t the Guojun you recruited also your own people? ]
