January 17, 1992.

In view of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which once took the same route, Duke Deng, who was 88 years old, sat on the southbound train and started his journey to the south.

From January 18 to February 21.

Deng Gong inspected Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai and other places and made a series of important speeches:

"We must seize the favorable opportunity, speed up the pace of reform and opening up, and strive to better take the national economy to a new level."

"The basic line has to be managed for a hundred years and cannot be shaken."

"The standard for judging the right and wrong of various aspects of work should mainly be based on whether it is conducive to the development of the productive forces of a socialist society, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of a socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving the living standards of the people."

"The essence of socialism is to liberate productive forces, develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity."

"More planning or more market is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. We need to be bolder in reform and opening up, seize the opportunity to develop ourselves, the key is to develop the economy. Development is the last word."

"China must be wary of the right, but the main thing is to prevent the left. We must insist on grasping with both hands, and we must be firm with both hands. Both civilizations must be promoted. This is socialism with Chinese characteristics."

"If there is a problem in China, it is still within the party. We must be sober about this problem, pay attention to training people, and select people with both political integrity and talent to join the team in accordance with the "four modernizations" standards. What really concerns the overall situation is this matter."

Many people don't know how important Deng Gong's remarks are to China, especially to China that was in a state of confusion after seeing the collapse of the Soviet Union. It can be said that it is precisely because of Deng Gong's key speeches that China has Only then can we not follow the old path of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and become one of the three major powers in the world after more than 20 years.

Of course, most of the dividends ended up being taken by a small group of people...

...

Neverland.

Dream Palace.

By the pool.

Lying on Li Ruotong's legs, Xu Cun accepted the loose bones of Rieko Miura, Jin Zhixiu, Theron, and He Meitian who were wearing bikinis, while listening to the beauties he had collected over the years with a sense of accomplishment. Lin Zhiling, the new secretary (internship period), used her unique whine to report to herself the movement of Duke Deng's southern tour:

"On the morning of January 18, Duke Deng stopped in Wuchang and made a concise and important talk to two high-level officials in Hubei Province: "There is a problem now, that is, there are too many formalisms. ""

"From January 19th to January 29th, Deng Gong inspected Guangdong, met with the responsible comrades of the party, government and army in the Guangzhou area, and took a group photo with everyone, encouraging places where conditions permit to be as fast as possible."

"On January 30, when Deng Xiaoping went to Shanghai to inspect, he warned the leaders of Shanghai at that time, "This is your last chance in Shanghai, and you should not miss this opportunity. ""

"..."

After listening to Lin Zhiling's report, Xu Cun sat up slowly, and then murmured, "The days of the decline of Xiangjiang are not far away."

Li Jiaxin, who was standing beside Lin Zhiling, heard Xu Cun say that Xiangjiang is going to decline, and said in surprise: "Xiangjiang is going to decline? Is it because it is going to return?"

No one can deny that there are reasons for the decline of Xiangjiang - after all, a free land is more convenient for trade than an owned land.

but--

The main reason for the decline of Hong Kong is not this.

To talk about why Hong Kong declined, we must first talk about why Hong Kong rose.

Summarizing successful experience, there has always been one hundred and one explanations for one hundred people. However, Xu Cun believes that there is only one reason that is really reliable: Xiangjiang is a transit point for economic and trade exchanges between the mainland and the West. This condition was optimal in the second half of the 20th century, making Xiangjiang an international metropolis, but such a good opportunity was difficult to find before and after.

From the initial occupation of Hong Kong by the United Kingdom to the outbreak of the Korean War, there was more than a century in between. During this period of time, Xiangjiang also had good economic development, but it was far less eye-catching in the future. This is because, at that time, Xiangjiang did not occupy an irreplaceable position in China's economic map. Back then, China was almost completely open to Western markets, and foreign personnel, funds, and goods could directly enter the Chinese mainland without any hindrance, so naturally there was no need to circumvent the British-controlled Hong Kong, and it took a lot of trouble - Hong Kong's status at that time was even more Focus on military ports, not commercial centers.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, the economic ties between the young New China and the Western world were almost completely cut off. However, China is not particularly inconvenienced by this, because China has fallen to the socialist camp. The Soviets could provide China with much-needed capital and technology for economic construction. Since China does not really expect economic resources from the West, Xiangjiang, as a window to the West, has nothing but soy sauce.

The turning point began with the split between China and the Soviet Union—with the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, China's access to funds and technology from the Soviet Union became increasingly narrow. However, the demand for external resources in China's economic construction and scientific and technological development has been increasing unabated. Under such circumstances, China naturally turned to the West to seek alternative sources of resources—a landmark event of this turn was the famous "Four-Three Plan" in the 1970s, which introduced a full set of industrial production equipment from the West to meet the needs of the economy. construction needs. This is the second time that China has introduced foreign industrial technology and equipment on a large scale after 156 Soviet aid projects. Represented by the 43 Program, China and the Western economic system have begun to reconnect. This connection grew from small to large, and eventually evolved into a nationwide opening to the outside world.

By the way, the person in charge of the central government who directly presided over the "Four-Three Program" back then was Duke Deng and his old man.

However--

Although China has set the basic policy direction of opening up to the West, in practice, opening up faces many problems. China's business rules and Western trade rules are not familiar with each other, and there is a lack of middlemen who are familiar with the situation on both sides. In addition, China also has various restrictions on personnel, materials and funds directly from the West in terms of policies and laws.

All kinds of troubles have made it difficult for China to fully meet the demand for Western economic resources, which is exactly the condition for the rise of Heungkong. The people of Heungkong are familiar with the mainland. They also maintained relatively stable personnel and trade exchanges. Hong Kong people are also familiar with the West. After all, they have spent more than a century under British rule, and they are very familiar with Western laws, trade rules and so on. This favorable condition allowed Heung Kong to quickly gain the status of a transit point for economic and trade exchanges between mainland China and the West.

In addition, Xiangjiang also acts as a bridge between the mainland of China and Taiwan. From the relaxation of cross-strait relations in the 1980s until the establishment of the "big three links" across the strait, the personnel and materials between the mainland and Taiwan have been For exchanges, the vast majority will choose to divert from Xiangjiang.

The huge amount of entrepot trade has made Hong Kong the leading transportation hub and trade center in Asia. A financial center was established along with it, which also benefited from the Chinese market. For funds from the Western world to flow into the Chinese mainland, a convenient trading center was also needed. In contrast, Taipei, Singapore, and even Kuala Lumpur all want to compete for the position of Asia's financial center, essentially because they lack a market behind them that can absorb a lot of money.

But now ~lightnovelpub.net~, especially after the return of Xiangjiang in the future, this favorable position has begun to fade. The connection between mainland China and the western world, as well as the Taiwan region has become increasingly close, and direct economic and trade exchanges have become easier and easier. , then why take the Hong Kong detour?

Fundamentally speaking, the status of Xiangjiang as a trade transit station stems from the poor direct communication between the East and the West.

This is a temporary phenomenon rather than a permanent problem.

So, naturally, after passing this village, there is no such shop.

Of course, Xiangjiang can also change its economic settlement through industrial transformation, and then find its own way out - for example, the tourism brought by Xu Cun's DreamWorks Studios.

But then again, no matter how Xiangjiang transforms, it is impossible to transform successfully in a short period of time. It is naturally impossible for Xu Cun, a reborn person, to accompany it to transform slowly. Therefore, Xu Cun said to Li Jiaxin: "It is related to the return. It's not big, this is the general trend." Then, Xu Cun said to himself: "It's time to shift the focus to the mainland, and there will be more beauties in the mainland in the future."
