Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The oil crisis has led to an increase in production costs. Coupled with the fact that the United States has long been the world's number one economy, labor costs are getting higher day by day.

Transferring the industrial system to overseas regions with lower labor and material costs can not only solve the difficult problems the United States is facing now, but also make the United States more powerful in terms of funds and influence.

"No matter what, everything is related to interests."

Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, Lin Kaifeng simply started from the beginning.

Issues that affect industrial development include not only labor costs and material costs, but also land use costs and energy demand costs.

It should not be underestimated either.

The United States is the first country in the world to complete industrialization, and its developed domestic industrial system has made it the world's number one economy.

Now, the United States' developed industrial system has become a heavy burden affecting the U.S. economy.

The United States has been supporting traditional manufacturing and is unable to invest in new areas.

Judging from the current development direction of the United States, their economy is gradually declining.

Only by moving industrial lines overseas and supporting new industries such as finance, construction, education, medical care, and technology can the United States have a second chance at development.

"Dear leaders, if what I say next is wrong, please don't blame me."

"If I were a farmer, I could make a fortune by farming and become a millionaire."

"Now that I have more money, will I continue to farm?"

Lin Kaifeng's words point out why the United States wants to transfer its entire industrial system overseas.

Why do we need to deindustrialize?

He worked hard to make a fortune by farming the land and now had a lot of money in his pocket.

Anyone who has been to the countryside knows how hard farming is.

Every day I work in the fields under the scorching sun.

The farmer becomes anxious at the slightest change in the weather.

Worry about sudden heavy rain or hail.

I have to endure hardships and worry every day.

Once I have money, I will definitely not continue to rely on farming to support my family.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about future generations.

The money in hand will inevitably be invested in other areas.

For example, setting up a stall to sell goods.

Or you can open a store in the city and sell household hardware products, etc.

This is true for ordinary people, let alone the United States, where capital is highly developed.

Not only must the United States consider the present, it must also plan for the future.

The old leader lit another cigarette and said, "In the past two years, the connection between urban and rural areas has become closer and closer. A large number of poor and lower-middle peasants from the countryside have entered the city to make a living, or to work in factories outside the city. This can be regarded as investing in new industries."

Lin Kaifeng said: "The chief is right. Once there is a new opportunity, there must be new measures."

"Both the United States and Japan are planning to relocate production lines overseas, but Japan is not as radical as the United States."

"We are preparing to gradually transfer industries overseas in a more stable way, rather than quickly completing deindustrialization in one go like the United States. This decision has both advantages and disadvantages."

"Deindustrialization can indeed help the United States reduce its burden and allow them to have more energy and funds to invest in new industries, but in a dozen or twenty years, the negative impact will surface."

"That's true. It's hard to reverse what has been done. The United States has transferred its entire industrial system to foreign countries. One day, it will focus on industrial production again. If it wants to transfer these industries back, it may not be done with just a few words."

Vice Minister Zhao analyzed.

"Lin Kaifeng, do you think that now is the best time for our country's enterprises and products to go overseas in large quantities?"

None of the ministers and deputy ministers who can appear here are simple characters.

Even if Lin Kaifeng didn't say some things, everyone could still figure out something from the clues.

Northern Machinery Company has been established for several years.

In the past one or two years, Lin Kaifeng has been particularly active.

I guess they want to take advantage of the opportunity of industrial transfer in other countries and play the Dragon Country manufacturing card.

Lin Kaifeng said bluntly: "Deputy Minister Zhao's analysis is correct. I do think so. Although Northern Machinery Company is still a small company in the international business field, everything starts from small to big, and from weak to strong."

"First, leave the mark of Northern Machinery Company in the international commercial market, and then expand its influence little by little, just like the path our country has taken before."

"We have gradually gone from being poor to having a relatively complete industrial system today."

"The Western market is a block of iron. With our company's current capabilities, it is impossible to gain access to the Western market for the time being. On the contrary, the desert market is a treasure trove with unlimited prospects."

"Desert regions not only have a large number of countries and individuals who have made fortunes from oil, but are also facing a variety of chaotic situations. We should make early arrangements to profit from them and help some desert countries develop their power industries, so that they can return the favor and ensure our oil supply."

Since the 1960s, Longguo has discovered large amounts of oil.

Not only will it completely solve the domestic oil problem, but there will also be enough capacity to export overseas.

But then was then, and now is now, and nothing can be generalized.

The automobile and motorcycle industries in Longguo are growing rapidly like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Ten years later, the number of cars owned in Longguo had reached an astonishing number.

Entering the 21st century, the domestic demand for oil has become unprecedentedly huge. Even though new oil fields are constantly being discovered, they still cannot meet the domestic oil demand.

To solve this problem, Longguo imports a large amount of oil on the one hand and exports oil to other countries on the other.

It’s just that this kind of oil export is different from simply selling oil.

It is the deep processing of petroleum.

It is equivalent to purchasing cheap production materials from abroad and bringing them to Longguo for product assembling.

Turn cheap materials into high-quality goods and make profits in this way.

In any case, domestic demand for oil has always been a big problem.

Ever since the US dollar was tied to oil, the United States has completely established its hegemony as the only superpower.

They can manipulate oil prices at will and solve their own economic crisis by devaluing the US dollar.

The prerequisite for all these hegemonic means is oil.

At this moment, the United States has not yet completely established a foothold in the desert area.

Northern Machinery Company's entry into the desert market at this time can not only help the company and the country obtain a large amount of funds, but also receive a certain amount of oil.

This is why Lin Kaifeng repeatedly emphasized that as long as the desert market is opened up, Northern Machinery Company will not only be able to support the large aircraft project.

There is more research to be done and more things to be done.

There were a lot of cigarette butts scattered in the ashtray in front of the old leader.

Picking up the cigarette box again, the old leader found that the cigarettes inside had been smoked.

Wang Changsheng immediately took out his cigarette and handed it to his old leader.
