.Chapter 27: Beyond Strategy

"The Chahar Economic Belt mainly develops animal husbandry products processing industry, Ordos coal mining and chemical industry, including metal smelting industry, Baiyun Obo coal-steel complex and other industries. (Update the latest chapter of this book)"

...

"The above industrial zones will rely on local advantages and adapt to local conditions to give priority to the development of advantageous enterprises and industries, form an industrial cluster effect, reduce the cost of experience and knowledge dissemination, drive the overall development of the regional economy, and realize the advantages of key infrastructure construction and intensive utilization."

"The above is the main content of the industrial development outline of our empire and is for the review of this State Conference."

After Tang Shaoyi finished speaking, he closed the document, bowed deeply to the imperial throne, and sat down calmly.

"If you are in need, you will formulate such industrial development outlines to make a summary of the key points that can be appreciated." The emperor's voice sounded slowly, and everyone sat in a subconscious manner. "I don't have much criticism about the overall idea. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask them enthusiastically. I only give some opinions on some of them, thinking that I will lead you to the point of throwing a brick."

"The development outline has many layouts for the introduction of industrial technology and the integration of industry, education and research. I don't need to say much about the importance of such technological development. This is a matter recognized by the whole country. I will talk about the problem."

"In recent years, the Empire has relied on economic intelligence networks to widely introduce the latest European and American industrial technologies and secret equipment through joint ventures and patent purchases. The results can be said to be significant. Many key industries in my country are developing rapidly, even surpassing their European and American peers. This has shown the importance of technology introduction."

"But I also want to remind you that relying on technology introduction can certainly improve the industrial manufacturing level in the short term, but if it is handled improperly, it will damage the country's long-term development foundation."

As soon as this statement was spoken, many people were stunned.

"Take mining as an example, my country began to introduce British and German mining machines very early, but the result was that we could only follow suit. Often, we introduced them, and were soon surpassed by new inventions from Europe and the United States, and had to be introduced again. Introduce a batch, fall behind a batch, and then introduce it again. What is the significance of such introduction?"

"After all, if this introduction of ready-made technologies, ready-made processes, and ready-made equipment is only aimed at short-term economic benefits and brings benefits immediately, the result will lead to the stagnation of domestic enterprises in active research and development. Even in terms of inventions, we have an efficient scientific and technological intelligence collection system that can continuously screen out advanced industrial inventions, but if we only rely on the introduction of mature technologies, how will our own research system develop? Will we rely on it for life?"

The new Minister of Industry and Commerce Xie Zhongshen is Tairan.

This matter really has nothing to do with him.

"I am not saying that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has made a big mistake before. But at least on this issue, the national industry has reached this point and can no longer continue this 'easy' model of direct introduction and direct application. It may be good to say that the country is now the target of European and American powers. It can be imagined that the introduction of technology in the future will become more and more difficult. And now some industries have already shown signs of dependence. If this continues, how can we talk about self-sufficiency?"

Zheng Yu said here and emphasized his tone: "The technical system is a cumulative process. It's okay to say at the beginning stage. It can be supplemented. Once other people's research and development forms a system accumulation, your gap will become bigger and bigger in the end. If you want to supplement, you have to make up for it from scratch. The cruel competition has made it difficult for you to accumulate from scratch. If we cannot reflect on this issue deeply, the country's economic self-sufficiency and independence will be a dream."

"Many people have asked why royal automobiles, radios, and military shipbuilding can always be at the forefront. I will explain to you today," Zheng Yu said. "This is because these industries are not introducing technology, but talents. The introduction of talents is just a means, to cultivate more local research talents. Without Hertz, as well as the entire talent team of assistants, researchers, intern researchers, and interns students, and without the complete set of scientific research resources they have accumulated, how can the empire come from today's radio industry?"

"Introducing talents, we have also begun to encounter some problems over the years. One is that the empire has a more complex game of interest with some countries, the other is the propaganda of misfortune, and the other is that the political and industrial sectors of various countries are consciously responding. Our eyesight is now recognized by others. Whoever we want to poach, European and American consortiums will often offer better conditions. Born, who invented Danslin, was taken down by Bayer Chemical in Germany. We wanted to poach Ford in the United States, but the Rockefeller consortium took the lead in capital injection. Now it seems that it is getting more and more difficult to take this path again."

"Since that's the case, we will inevitably change our course in the future, and now is the best window." Zheng Yu's words cheered many people up. "When directly introduces technology, European and American countries have begun to consciously block us. Even if we can achieve a batch of technology exchanges and cooperation with the Germans, this is far from enough for our entire self-sufficiency economic system, and the Germans offer a price: they also want our equivalent technology."

"The reason why we are the best window at the moment is that our current large-scale industrialization construction, new regional development, and strong appeal to the European and American business community. Ten years later, our dependence on Europe and the United States will greatly weaken, and by that time, there will be fewer bargaining chips that we can use to boycott."

"Since that's the case, we must seize the current time and use the will of the country to unify and coordinate the planning to introduce the various technologies, processes and achievements required for development. But the purpose is not application." Zheng Yu's words made many people feel a little mihuo, "I would like to put forward a principle and you consider it: the first one is introduced, the second one is produced in China, and the third one is exported."

"At this point, I need to share with you my overall understanding of the imperial industrial development strategy." Zheng Yu said, "I think our strategy can be summarized in four words: comprehensive transcendence."

Tang Shaoyi looked at Xie Zhong, and Xie Zhong just smiled and said to him.

"Our industrial development strategies in the past were limited by actual conditions, and the strategies we adopted were generally considered to be 'focus on catching up and comprehensive development', that is, we should give priority to the development of some of the most important and strategic industrial chains, strive to lead the world, and other aspects should also develop in a coordinated manner."

"The past strategy was based on the fact that we can use advanced concepts in certain fields to concentrate national resources and prioritize development, and take advantage of the innate advantages of our system in this regard, and achieve rapid overreach in certain key areas in a short period of time."

“Now,

The so-called transcendence strategy is to achieve a comprehensive overt advantage of other countries through key areas and key developments in key areas and achieve comprehensive overtreach.”

Zheng Yu's words moved many people.

"Maybe many people think this is a fantasy, but I don't think so." Zheng Yu said, "In terms of population, empire, East Asian countries, and the Nanyang Economic Zone, the total population exceeds 500 million, which is the largest population in the world. In terms of land area and resource endowment, our empire is also the world's largest. And our country is a land power, not a fragmented colonial federation like the British Empire. The population is a single ethnic group, with a uniform language and writing. Other countries have long been influenced by Chinese civilization, have high recognition, and have innate advantages in industrial development."

"Our Chinese nation has been a hard-working and hard-working nation since ancient times, and likes knowledge and is civilized and trustworthy. With such a nation, as long as the government and government are properly governed, education is widely available, and economic development is supported, the country's strength will not be said. However, as the only empire in East Asia and the only strong country outside the European and American civilization system, in order to ensure long-term stability and even strive for greater development space, we must base ourselves on self-sufficiency and overall leadership, which poses an overwhelming advantage over Europe and the United States."

"This transcendence strategy determines that in terms of technology accumulation, we must achieve independent research and development accumulation in various fields, get rid of our dependence on Europe and the United States, and achieve a comprehensive lead." Zheng Yu said, "So in terms of technology, we introduce overseas technologies, processes, equipment, and talents. The purpose is to digest and absorb, innovate and surpass. Our goal is to develop more advanced technologies, processes and equipment on the basis of absorbing advanced knowledge in other countries, develop more advanced technologies, processes and equipment, develop better products, and establish our own continuous R&D system and innovation system."

"People introduce will inevitably lead to the deterioration of my country's independent R&D capabilities; while blindly digesting and imitating will only make our scientific research system lose its sense of innovation and innovation organization." Zheng Yu's words surprised many people again, "Scientific R&D is an organizational behavior for the country, not the genius of some individuals. Relying on poaching some teams and personnel from abroad, or by using a large amount of money to allocate some research institutes in China, at most, short-term benefits can be achieved, and it is not conducive to long-term and continuous scientific research development."

"The country's innovative scientific research organizations must gradually develop in innovative behavior, and cannot rely on the will of the state to forcibly indoctrinate." Zheng Yu's tone became a little heavier, "This is different from building roads and building factories. Innovation is the deep root of social progress, and this energy comes from the cultural soil. To cultivate this ability, we must start from culture and adjust it with economic leverage."

"The future technology introduction system cannot rely too much on political affairs. After all, this field is too professional and too diverse, and it cannot be done by relying on political affairs bureaucrats." Zheng Yu shook his head, "The cabinet has a good idea, but things cannot be done like this... The experts from the political university and research institute should be responsible for these matters. Political affairs are just a logistical support."

There was not much change on everyone's faces in the cabinet. Everyone knew very well: at this time, the only thing to do was listen carefully, think carefully, and finally see if they could put forward some suggestions for xing.

"There are three benefits of doing this:" Zheng Yu looked around the audience and said slowly. "First of all, the experts from universities and research institutes are professional talents in their respective fields, with rich information, and through academic flow, you can grasp the latest developments in the industry at any time. Even if you were originally from this major, or even experts, it is difficult for the profession to keep track of them continuously. Secondly, the experts from universities and research institutes are well-known people in the industry. They have many classmates and teachers in Europe and the United States, with a wide range of connections, and they can get more information, and they are more natural and more easily accepted when they come forward. Finally, these people are not bureaucrats after all, and they also have to pay attention to social reputation. People are simpler. They have to do things like corruption, and they are too expensive and are not willing to do it."

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly, but had to admit it was reasonable.

"The government provides the name of the organization, funding and channels, but does not participate in decision-making." Zheng Yu said, "Evidences from universities and research institutes form multiple review committee groups according to different industries to make introduction decisions, evaluate and vote on the introduction needs proposed by different experts in their respective fields, and also consider whether there are qualified enterprises in China to take over. This is basically such a mechanism."

"After the state establishes an industrial technology promotion center, these technologies will be under the name of the center until it is taken over by domestic enterprises." Zheng Yu also said, "The promotion of these technologies adopts an open and fair approach. Any enterprise, as long as it meets the qualification requirements of the promotion enterprise formulated by the committee, can pay enough fees to use these technologies. Experts who propose to introduce this technology can withdraw 5 from all technical authorization fees as remuneration. On this technology basis, the innovative technologies are digested and absorbed, and the patents are assigned to technology research and development enterprises and individuals to encourage enterprises to digest, absorb and reinnovate."

"As for innovative culture, this is something that will be rolled out later. I will not go into details here, but only talk about the work that governments need to do." Zheng Yu said, "In terms of taxation, I suggest formulating corresponding incentive measures for independent research and development. Any enterprise that cooperates with R&D projects with universities, research institutes and other institutions, or independently developed by enterprises or jointly developed by multiple enterprises, after the results are awarded invention patents, the approved R&D funds can be refunded by one-third in the subsequent tax deduction method, but at most no more than five percent of the company's turnover in the previous year."

"In terms of industry, academia and research, I think the cabinet's proposal is very good, so I will only add it here." Zheng Yu paused and continued, "At present, the front-line universities in the empire adopt academic autonomy and financial autonomy, but there are still many schools that rely on the central government's financial support and accept control. The central government has given many research topics to universities in recent years, and has arranged interactions between some officials and university leaders, which has improved the professional level of political officials and promoted the improvement of national scientific research level. However, there are many disadvantages, and we have to make up our minds to make a more thorough change."

"The bureaucracy of the academic field will inevitably lead to the stagnation or even regression of the country's academic innovation in the long run." Zheng Yu's tone was still calm, but many people still couldn't help but tremble. "With the popularization of education, newspapers, books, and magazines, and the speed, breadth and depth of knowledge dissemination are constantly improving. Science and technology are changing with each passing day, and yesterday's progress may be today's backwardness and even fallacy. If academic authority is bureaucratic, academic institutions become political, and official habits are introduced into the academic field, the final result is that old-school academic authority uses its power to suppress rising stars, kill innovation, and hinder academic progress. Academic researchers are trapped in official culture and cannot extricate themselves. They are busy building relationships, show off, and charming the country. From the perspective of money and reputation, there is no more effort to study academics."

"Academics is academics, don't talk about these messy things." Zheng Yu's voice aggravated a little. "I suggest that the cabinet will cancel the political and academic organizations that are currently in bureaucratic signs, and the existing political and scientific research projects will be fully reviewed, and the dispatch of officials to schools that are still in primary autonomy or even non-autonomous states will be stopped. This trend of academic politicization must be eliminated by the center first, and then the local area will be motivated. The propaganda must also keep up. Doing academics means doing academics, and you must also do the same thing as academics and being an expert, and relying on this to make a living, you must really talk."

"I will talk about this first about the introduction of technology." Zheng Yu turned to Tang Shaoyi, "What is the cabinet's opinion on this?"

Tang Shaoyi stood up and bowed: "I have no objection."

Xie Zhong also stood up and bowed calmly: "Your Majesty said so much, I will discuss it."

The others looked at each other and stood up to agree.

"Since that's the case, the cabinet will revise the draft according to this meaning and submit it later." Zheng Yu nodded, "The industrial planning of the region is also very attentive. Overall, there are no major problems. I just put forward some suggestions on details."

"Everyone knows that the early stages of the empire's industrial development mainly relied on the industrial park model, that is, demarcating or acquiring a whole piece of land suitable for industrial development, building industrial parks, and giving appropriate preferential policies. This model is conducive to attracting enterprise aggregation and forming industrial clusters, and is also conducive to the dissemination of advanced management concepts, experience, and the gathering and collision of professional talents. In addition, by building transportation infrastructure in a targeted manner, the intensive use of supporting facilities has been achieved and investment efficiency has been improved."

"The next step in the development of national industrialization, there is no doubt that this idea must be adhered to." Zheng Yu changed his tone, "However, I would like to remind you that as far as I know, some problems have occurred in various places. In the previous wartime economic control, in the name of national security, many places solicited large areas of land for construction of factories, production of industrial products or as transfer warehouses, and construction of roads. Efficiency was preferred during the war, and some issues of compensation for nationals and forced requisitions that appeared in the middle are now being resolved. But the problem now is that many places not only did not stop after the war, but began to become more and more serious. In provinces that have implemented constitutionalism, there are local Senate to supervise checks and balances, and there are few such problems, mainly some closed grassroots. However, in some provinces of tutoring, many disputes have already caused."

"I can understand many grassroots governments. They cannot say that they are just for making money. They hope to attract investment from a low land price and various preferential policies to drive local economic development, and benefit local economic development from a medium- and long-term perspective. However, if this behavior cannot be curbed, it cannot be limited to the legal framework, but instead indulge public power to force the disposal of national property, it will inevitably lead to the accumulation of public grievances and eventually trigger fierce conflicts between officials and citizens. At this point, what is damaged is not only the prestige of grassroots governments, but the prestige of the entire national regime."

"In any case, even in the provinces of training, this kind of forced plunder must be severely investigated." Zheng Yu said firmly, "national infrastructure construction projects shall be subject to unified compensation; if the provinces of training lack checks and balances, this kind of requisition must be based on fairness. In the future, land acquisition in provinces of training shall be determined by the center to set the compensation standards. If the land acquisition is approved by the center, the center shall determine the price and set the compensation standards. If the acquisition is not authorized, legal procedures shall be followed, and the public prosecution agency shall submit a public prosecution in accordance with the Property Law."
