The leader is my girlfriend

【office】

Wang Yiming took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to sit down at his temporary workstation, and looked at his wife. He saw Lu Wanwan concentrating on the work at hand. Her serious look made Wang Yiming feel moved.

Sure enough, when you fall in love with someone, that person will always make your heart beat fast without you noticing.

After calming down, Wang Yiming said softly, "Leader, is there any historical data analysis? That way I can make a data comparison and see where our export trade can be further improved!"

Hearing Wang Yiming's words, Lu Wanwan paused for a moment, raised her head, and pointed, "You can take a look at the information on the table. The secretary has basically sorted it out clearly by year and category."

"Ok."

After receiving the instructions, Wang Yiming began to look through the import and export data of the past ten years. He first quickly browsed through the catalog and decided to start checking from the most recent year. When he turned to the relevant page, Wang Yiming carefully read the data recorded in detail on it.

However, when he saw the data from the previous year, that is, 69, he was suddenly stunned.

What were the exports in 69?

The statistics for the whole year are as follows:

223.75 million tons of grain were exported;

1.35 tons of peanut oil;

3.66 tons of peanut kernels;

2.84 tons of fresh eggs;

162.26 million live pigs;

6.08 tons of frozen pork.

After seeing this, he quickly looked for export data from previous years.

According to this statistical result...

So what are the cornmeal they eat now, and the grass roots, tree bark, corn stalks they chewed in the 50s?

The most special period, 59-61, was when exports reached their peak. What does this mean?

"Yiming, what's wrong?" Lu Wanwan saw Wang Yiming frowning and got up and walked over when she called out to him but there was no response.

Wang Yiming's eyes were red as he picked up a stack of statistical data and looked at Lu Wanwan, "What does this mean?"

Lu Wanwan took it and took a look, knowing that the person in front of her was upset, "Well... let me explain it to you."

After that, she pulled a chair over and sat next to Wang Yiming, holding his hand and explaining,

"For the country to develop and progress, to promote and implement industrialization, it needs to purchase large quantities of industrial raw materials and production equipment from abroad. We have nothing else to exchange, so we have to export grain in exchange for foreign exchange."

"Then why was it that during those three years when the disaster was the most serious, the exports were the highest?" Wang Yiming frowned. He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

"Yes, what you said is true, but there were also corresponding changes and adjustments. In 60, the disaster situation became increasingly serious. A large number of people could not eat, and the abnormal death rate increased by dozens of times. Faced with this situation, the government held a meeting and discussed it, and then ordered the export of grain to be stopped.

Not only that, as the situation became more and more serious, in order to stabilize the domestic food supply situation and successfully overcome this serious famine crisis, the government held a meeting and made another major decision - to start importing food from abroad. The subsequent data changed greatly.

In order to purchase as much grain as possible, the central government ordered the suspension of many industrial projects and redirected most of the foreign exchange funds originally used for these projects to grain imports. In February 1962, the priority order for imported materials was further clarified and stipulated:

"First, food; second, fertilizers, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and oils; third, raw materials and chemical materials used to process finished products for export; fourth, materials of political importance; and fifth, rubber, oil, copper, aluminum, steel, cutting-edge technology, equipment needed for national defense, and industrial equipment. By setting import priorities, we ensure that national food security and social stability are maximized within the context of limited resources."

In March, the Ministry of Foreign Trade further stipulated that only the first three categories of imported materials would be ordered, and the import of the fourth and fifth categories of materials would be suspended, pending further notice.

"Really?" Although she was his wife, Wang Yiming was a little skeptical about this statement, because the export data was not zero, but just decreased.

"Of course, you only saw the export data. You haven't looked at the import data. In 61, my country imported over 580 million tons of grain, of which 388 million tons were wheat, which greatly alleviated the famine.

Furthermore, through this large-scale grain import, we have successfully opened a trade window with Western countries, which is also a significant step.”

"But life is still so hard these days, why do we keep exporting grain? How many people don't even know what fine grains like rice and flour taste like?"

"We need to use the money earned from these exports to purchase more urgently needed foreign exchange and supplies. 'A weak country has no diplomacy.' If we are not strong enough, we will be bullied everywhere. To become stronger and develop, we must grit our teeth and tighten our belts. This is a long and arduous process."

"Truth is only within the range of cannon?"

"Yes, that's what Bismarck said. He also said, 'A country's security cannot be pinned on the gifts of others. History always advances on the sword. This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. To survive and to maintain dignity, we must have strong armaments.'

Falling behind will be punished, so as I said at the beginning, we must promote and implement industrialization."

"okay I know."

Wang Yiming nodded, and Lu Wanwan rubbed his head.

"Okay, hurry up and write the report. After you finish it, you have to accompany me to the hospital this afternoon."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task!"

Although he is short-sighted, he must do his best to write a feasibility report for the current situation.
