Chapter 420 Teach a man to fish
"Tick tock."

In the boss's office, after listening to Wang Deming's idea, he thought about it over and over again and felt that it was very feasible. It just so happened that the "Document on the Handling of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan" was passed by the higher authorities in the past two days.

"De Ming, the senior leaders held a meeting these past two days to discuss the Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty and to approve work related to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan."

"The ministers are preparing to use external funds to address the problem of lagging domestic industrialization efficiency."

"It's just that, Deming."

The real boss frowned and looked at Wang Deming, thinking in his heart, "If you follow your idea, first throw the educated youth into the technical schools of various factories, and then let them pass the exam before they can officially go to work, isn't that too much?"

"You know, the educated youth who have returned to the city now feel that they have suffered so much for so many years, and the country should arrange jobs for them."

"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that these educated youth will cause trouble because they have no jobs."

Since the educated youth began to return to the city in the second half of this year, Zhen Da Lao's white hair and wrinkles have increased visibly. In his opinion, so many unemployed young people are a powder keg that must be dealt with quickly.

"Director Zheng," Wang Deming said confidently, "You know I have been working in Hong Kong for more than ten years."

"Over the years, I have become friends with many local billionaires in Hong Kong."

"As long as I ask, they will come to the mainland to open factories."

The real boss nodded in approval, "Isn't what you said something we have considered?"

"We also know that jobs should not be arranged for the sake of educated youth. This approach is completely a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. But now only this approach can ease the pressure of the unemployed population."

"We also know that opening more factories to fundamentally solve the problem of unemployment in the country is the best solution."

"De Ming, are you sure you can bring enough people from Hong Kong back to the mainland to open a factory?"

"I guarantee it with my party spirit!"

"Okay, you go back first, I will go to discuss with the leaders now."

"Really, Chief." Wang Deming did not move, but asked a question that puzzled him: "Even if we have signed a 10-year trade agreement with Japan, why do we need to sign a peace and friendship agreement?"

"The Zizhi Tongjian's evaluation of the Japanese is very accurate: they fear power but not virtue, and when they are strong, they will rob and invade, and when they are weak, they will be submissive."

"The goodwill we show them may very well make the Japanese devils take advantage of us!"

The bigwigs were silent. In fact, many people opposed signing a peace and friendship agreement with Japan.

After eight years of war of resistance against Japan, we had a deep blood feud with the Japanese. How could we just let them go?

However, for the sake of domestic economic development and the people's future better life, we have to make some choices.
“Deming,” the real boss said with a wry smile, “You may not know much about the current economic situation in the country.”

"The introduction of a major project worth 82 billion US dollars last year caused the country to suddenly increase its debt by more than 400 billion US dollars."

"If we don't solve this problem quickly, our government will go bankrupt. Of course, we have experienced hard times, but no one can just wave their hands and send tens of millions of educated youth to the countryside to ease the economic crisis!"

Wang Deming remained silent. He understood everything, but he actually knew a lot.

If he had not proposed this large-scale technology introduction worth US$82 billion to the Sichuan boss in advance, it would have been too hasty and easily led to a huge domestic debt, which would have done more harm than good.

Not only will it fail to alleviate the massive unemployment, but it will more easily cause the collapse of the national economy.

The idea was good, to ease unemployment through large-scale technology and equipment introduction, but it was not as expected. The chaos in the early 80s was related to the introduction of more than 80 billion US dollars of duplicate technology.

However, I have myself in this life. Although I failed to stop Yang Yuejin from investing 82 billion US dollars, I am much better than in my previous life. At least most of the projects are introduced after investigation in various places.

Now I am waiting for the leaders above to discuss my suggestions.
Time flies and it’s already the end of October.

Wang Deming actually guessed the Japanese people's subsequent reaction.

In late October, Sichuan leaders paid an official friendly visit to Japan. When signing a friendly agreement, the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan officially offered the spirit tablets of 10 first-class standing rice.
I feel so alone and helpless.
Wang Deming suddenly lost confidence in his work in the government.

In fact, there is nothing I can do. Under the overwhelming trend, all I can do is try to stop a chariot with my bare hands.

In November, when Sichuan leaders returned from a visit to Singapore, Wang Deming formally submitted his resignation.

Although the leaders tried to persuade him to stay and kept asking for reasons, he had made up his mind. He used the excuse that he might be criticized by his party comrades for his connections with Hong Kong businessmen and resolutely demanded to resign.

Finally, he was suspended without pay.

It was precisely because Wang Deming was so determined to resign that it finally touched the leaders above him.

The leaders finally agreed to the proposal of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots to invest in the country, but it was limited to technological investment and commissioned processing.

Unfortunately for Wang Deming, his proposal to let the educated youth learn skills in technical schools before entering factories was rejected.

The leaders still wanted to put the responsibility of alleviating unemployment on the factories. For a time, state-owned enterprises in the city began to develop tertiary industries to accommodate the children of factory workers.

In Hong Kong, on the top of Victoria Peak, in Wang Deming’s manor, Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, Mr. Dong, Mr. Cao, Mr. Chen and others are drinking tea and chatting.

"Deming, you've been in Beijing for several years, and even your children have gone back to school. I really admire you." In these few years, Wang Deming has only met Mr. Huo once, and that was during this year's National Day.

But because he was still the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry at the time, he didn't talk much to avoid suspicion.

"That's right, Deming. What you did really makes us ashamed."

"Well, we are the same, except that I grew up in Beijing and am a party member, so I know more about China." Wang Deming said modestly, "Mr. Bao, didn't Mr. Huo also donate a five-star hotel to China?"

"The reason why we can sit together and chat is that we still consider ourselves Chinese, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

Wang Deming sent away the servants at home before telling Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao about his idea of ​​returning to China to invest.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, I just came from China, so I know better what China needs most right now. That is factories."

"There are tens of millions of unemployed people in the country right now, and if we are not careful it will cause a huge negative impact."

"At this time, the only solution is to expand reproduction. I have already discussed with domestic leaders that by upgrading the technology of the existing factories, all the products produced will be sold by us externally."

"Gentlemen, you all know how Hong Kong developed. It was simply copied to the mainland."

"How about it? Do you want to come back to the mainland with me to invest?"
