Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

"High-end manufacturing industry?"

Zhao Lichun gave a bitter smile and shook his head slightly.

"Who doesn't want to engage in high-end manufacturing? Who wants to keep selling low-end industrial products and working as a sweatshop?"

"But developing high-end manufacturing is easier said than done, Ruilong!"

"The policy hurdle is manageable, but what about funding? Technology? Talent?"

Where do these three key elements come from?

After flicking off his cigarette ash, Zhao Lichun gave an embarrassed smile.

"Just like the poor people in rural areas, don't they want to find a good job or start a good business to escape poverty and become rich?"

"The problem is that most of them haven't had much schooling, don't have any skills, and lack the capital and connections to start a business."

"What do they have? All they have is their physical strength and the perseverance to endure hardship. So, the only way to lead them out of poverty and into prosperity is to open more factories and build more construction sites."

After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Zhao Lichun continued:

"Going back to the suggestion you just made."

"Of course I know, the high-end manufacturing industry is particularly good."

"Not only does it have low pollution and high profits, but it can also provide a large number of high-paying jobs, expand the middle class, make domestic demand stronger, and greatly enhance the country's overall strength."

"The reason why the West, led by the United States, has a prosperous economy, advanced technology, strong military, and generous welfare is precisely because they have firmly occupied the high-end manufacturing industry."

"As latecomers, if we want to catch up with them, we must invest more. Talent is not so bad, after so many years of higher education, we have several million college students."

"But what about funding and technology? Even if we sell everything we own to solve the funding problem, the West won't easily transfer advanced technology, and independent research and development will take an unknown amount of time and money."

"Moreover, the West will inevitably use its leading position to suppress us in the market and block us in terms of patents, making it difficult for us to make money and break even after spending a lot of time and effort to develop the technology. If we can't even break even, how can we continue to develop it?"

Zhao Ruilong clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhao Lichun, who overcame numerous obstacles to become the second-in-command of Handong Province, is indeed no ordinary person.

They possess both extraordinary insight and very realistic considerations; they are not so easily fooled.

"So, according to you, developing high-end manufacturing industries is very difficult, so we should just give up?"

"No! Of course we have to do it!"

Zhao Lichun said decisively and with a strong voice:

"In the long run, if we want to achieve national rejuvenation and common prosperity, we must adhere to the principle of invigorating the country through science and education and develop high-end manufacturing."

"But our top priority now is to develop the economy and ensure that those poor people who lack food and clothing and have to borrow even salt can have enough to eat."

"We have already secured deals with the United States and the European Union last year and this year. We will be able to join the WTO as early as the end of this year or as late as next year. Foreign trade will definitely drive economic growth."

Zhao Ruilong stubbed out his cigarette.

“From a top-down perspective, what you said is correct, but what we are discussing now is the Handong Province that you will soon be in charge of.”

"But think about it, when everyone rushes to adopt an extensive economic development model, focusing only on GDP and not caring about the long term."

"But you led Handong on a sustainable and high-quality development path. Isn't that outstanding?"

Before Zhao Lichun could question him, Zhao Ruilong, who was shirtless, leaned forward.

"I know you're going to say again that high-end manufacturing is difficult, but I never said that the government should provide personnel, money, and technology!"

"As long as you are in Handong, take the lead in encouraging, supporting and guiding the non-public sector economy, give private entrepreneurs a legitimate identity and status, and create a fair and competitive business environment."

"I believe that the fighting spirit inherent in the blood of hundreds of millions of Chinese people will surely erupt like never before. You don't need to worry about it; everyone will definitely invest like crazy and keep innovating!"

Zhao Lichun slowly raised his hand and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He then stubbed out his cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.

In order to further impress Zhao Lichun.

Zhao Ruilong earnestly advised:

"Don't forget that the 15th National Congress three years ago stated that our country's economy should be based on public ownership, with the state-owned economy playing a leading role, but it also clearly stated that the non-public sector is an important component."

"Since they are an important component, why choose to sit idly by and let them fend for themselves? If you can be the first to step forward and strongly support private enterprises, I believe Handong will definitely create an economic miracle!"

That's all Zhao Ruilong had to say; there was no need for him to add anything more.

Zhao Lichun's meteoric rise over the years, surpassing Liang Qunfeng, is a testament to his remarkable talent.

The main reason is that he dared to break with convention and was very good at managing the economy.

In the original drama, after Zhao Lichun became the Secretary, he vigorously supported private entrepreneurs, which led to the economic take-off of Handong.

So now we're just giving him a heads-up, letting him be the first to try something new.

History only remembers the first.

Even the second and third place winners achieved good results.

But a champion is a champion.

People will only remember the champion.

This applies to all industries, including those within the system.

"Go tell your second sister that she doesn't need to wait for me to eat; I'm going back to my study to write a report right now!"

Zhao Lichun got up and left.

Judging from his decisive manner, he was clearly already brimming with inspiration and would surely write like a torrent of urine in a moment.

Call ~

"That's fucking exciting!"

Before I traveled through time, it was difficult to even see the district head.

"But now they've taught the second-in-command of Handong Province a lesson!"

"But I have no choice but to take this lesson, otherwise how will I complete my second system task?"

"We aim to enter the electronic information industry, which has the greatest development potential in the 21st century, and achieve revenue exceeding 100 million yuan within two years."

"If we don't persuade Zhao Lichun to vigorously support private enterprises in Handong, how can we enter the telecommunications industry on a large scale and sell PHS phones like crazy?"

Zhao Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, where's Dad?"

Zhao Xiaohui brought the dishes to the table and asked curiously.

"I've gone to the study to write a report."

Zhao Ruilong stood up and said.

Are you still hungry? Would you like to eat something else?

"No need, I just want to sleep right now. You can eat slowly!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong turned and left.

Looking at my younger brother's healthy, tanned skin and his well-defined muscles...

Zhao Xiaohui couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"After this kid got out of prison, he spent all his time eating, drinking, and having fun without exercising, but how come he looks as fit and strong as an athlete?"

"No, no, he does that every day, it seems like it's quite an physically demanding activity!"

Although we were almost at the spiral staircase.

Even after his body was enhanced, Zhao Ruilong, with his sharp hearing and eyesight, still heard his second sister's mutterings.

“The subtle changes in her body had already aroused my suspicions.”

"It seems I have to find a way to make everyone think that I understand electronic information technology and that I am both naturally gifted and self-taught!"

……

the next day.

As dawn broke, Zhao Ruilong woke up hungry.

While on an empty stomach, do a few sets of sit-ups, push-ups, and squats.

I found a set of sportswear in the closet, changed into it, and went downstairs to ask the housekeeper to prepare more breakfast, especially boiled eggs.

Then I went out and jogged around the vast, tree-lined compound of the provincial party committee to warm up.

After completing the stretching exercises, I started running in circles at a very fast pace.

As for how many kilometers I ran... I didn't keep track at all.

Just keep running, enjoying the exhilarating experience.

But Liang Qunfeng, in the dining room of Villa No. 3, knew very well.

"Good lad, that's the eighth lap!"

"Zhao Lichun's third son is surprisingly fierce!"

Liang Lu looked up at Zhao Ruilong rushing past and said sourly:

"It seems that labor reform in prison really does improve the physical fitness of prisoners!"

"It's incredible that they could train a son of a powerful family to run like a professional athlete!"

Qi Tongwei almost choked on his porridge and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth to cover it up.

The elderly Liang Qunfeng slowly put down his chopsticks and bowl.

He squinted slightly and sighed softly:

"Like father, like son; the younger generation is truly formidable!"
