Chapter 225 Five Small Industries
Halloy read a long-lost sincerity from Zhu Jinwen's enthusiasm, and this kind of sincerity was the first time he felt in this exhibition hall.

Before that, he walked through so many booths, and the sales representatives in each booth showed him a professional smile, but that smile was cold, even with a bit of contempt.Halloy was used to the contempt he received from the eyes of his white classmates when he was a student in France.Now suddenly received a sincere and friendly expression from a person of yellow race, Haroley almost felt overwhelmed.

"Minister Halloy, can you tell me about your needs?" Zhu Jinwen asked Halloy and his party to sit down in the exhibition area, and then said to them gently.

Shuman, who came with Lin Zhenhua, brought tea to Halloy and his party swiftly, and then sat sideways, waiting to do necessary translation and follow-up services for them at any time.Zhu Jinwen's English is not bad, and normal communication does not require translation, but if some complicated vocabulary is involved, a professional like Schumann is still needed to help.

This time, the Machinery Committee organizes enterprises from all over the country to participate in the exhibition. There is no strict limit on the number of exhibitors sent by each enterprise. As long as each enterprise can afford the relevant expenses, it doesn't matter how many people they send.Other companies lack foreign exchange, and there are some doubts about the effect of participating in the exhibition, so they usually only send one or two people to participate.

Lin Zhenhua was rich and powerful, so he brought four people in one go. Besides Schumann, there were also Wei Jingwen, Wei Dongqi and Ma Jie.The last three are technicians. Lin Zhenhua brought them to the equipment exhibition to open their eyes and see if there is any high-tech equipment worth buying back.

Hallore thanked Schumann, and then said to Zhu Jinwen: "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry, but I must first talk about our financial situation. Our Republic of Usan is a poor country, and the funds we can use for equipment procurement are I was very nervous. The reason why I came to your exhibition area was because I saw the advertisement you put out. I really want to know whether it is true that you said that 1000 million US dollars will be used to build an industrial system."

Zhu Jinwen looked at Lin Zhenhua, then sighed and said, "Mr. Halloy, as you know, the concept of industrial system is very broad. If cutting-edge technologies such as aerospace and microelectronics are to be included, let alone 1000 million US dollars, it is 1000 million US dollars." 1000 million U.S. dollars is not enough. The solution we provide is to help an underdeveloped country or region establish an industrial system that meets basic production needs. In this sense, [-] million U.S. dollars is completely achievable.”

The reason why Zhu Jinwen sighed was because he felt that Lin Zhenhua had blown too much of the bullshit, and now that he has fooled him, he still doesn't know how to end it.

Halloley didn't mind. He knew in his heart that it was impossible to build any large-scale project with 1000 million US dollars.He followed Zhu Jinwen's words and asked: "Mr. Zhu, can you tell me in detail what industrial projects are included in the industrial system you mentioned?"

Zhu Jinwen nodded: "It is absolutely possible. The industrial system we are talking about, in the language of our Chinese economic department, is called the five local small industries, that is, small coal mines, small steel factories, small machinery factories, small chemical fertilizer factories and small Cement factory. With these five small industrial projects, it can basically meet the basic production needs of a region with a population of one million. In addition, we can also help you build small power plants, small textile factories, and small printing factories , small food factories, these are mainly to meet the needs of life.”

Haroley silently read the names of these projects mentioned by Zhu Jinwen, imagining the products needed for the daily operation of a region.After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhu, I think these projects you mentioned are indeed what a region needs most. If you have these enterprises, then most of the daily production can be satisfied. But , You have been using the concept of a small industry, I want to know, what is the scale of the small you said, can we build such a small factory, can it meet the normal needs?"

Zhu Jinwen smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Halloley, I remember that you introduced yourself just now and said that you are the Minister of Industry of the Northern Province of the Republic of Usan. May I ask what is the approximate population of your Northern Province?"

"80 people." Haroley replied.

"Well, let's do the math." Zhu Jinwen said, "According to China's agricultural situation, a resident owns about 1 to 2 mu of arable land. Your 80 population needs to cultivate about 120 million mu of arable land. In the current agricultural production Under certain conditions, about 10 kilograms of chemical fertilizers are used for one mu of arable land. Calculated in this way, about 120 million kilograms of chemical fertilizers are needed for 1200 million mu of arable land, which is 1.2 tons. The designed production capacity of the small chemical fertilizer plant equipment we provide is 1 [-] tons, just enough to guarantee all your fertilizer needs for agricultural production."

Halloley showed a look of surprise on his face: "Mr. Zhu, I completely understand after hearing you say that. Your calculation is completely correct. For our northern province, as long as we have a company with an annual output of 1 tons of fertilizer The factory is enough, we don’t need to understand the 10-ton equipment at all.”

Zhu Jinwen continued: "Let's look at the machinery factory again. As a province with a population of 80 and mainly agriculture, you don't need to build a heavy industrial system. Therefore, the main task of the machinery factory is to produce small equipment for agriculture, and To meet the needs of some daily mechanical maintenance. Agricultural equipment is nothing more than three machines and one pump, that is, diesel engines, small tractors, electric motors and water pumps. The small machinery factory equipment we provide you can just meet the needs of your independent production. There is no need for high-precision machine tools to produce these products, and it is enough to use general-purpose machine tools plus a small amount of special fixtures and molds.”

While talking, Zhu Jinwen wrote a list of equipment for Haroley on paper, including how many lathes, how many milling machines, which kind of equipment undertakes which processing tasks, etc., and even the power distribution equipment in the machinery factory should have How much power, how much area the workshop needs, etc. are clearly stated, and there is almost no stumbling from the beginning to the end.

Halloley was fascinated by hearing this, and admired Zhu Jinwen so much.As a minister of industry with a background in science and engineering, Halloy could fully understand what Zhu Jinwen said, and knew that what he said was completely correct.But Halloy couldn't figure out why this Chinese official was so proficient in the configuration of such a small factory.

In fact, it wasn't just Haroley, Lin Zhenhua was also completely intimidated by Zhu Jinwen when he first came into contact with him.Lin Zhenhua went to the Machinery Industry Committee to show off the concept of the solution, and was praised by Zhu Jinwen.But when it comes to how to implement industrial solutions for a small country or a small region, Lin Zhenhua is completely blind. He has no common sense in this area.

At this time, Zhu Jinwen easily showed Lin Zhenhua a list, telling him that a small area with a population of one million needed industrial projects, referred to as the five local primary schools.

Lin Zhenhua knew a little about the concept of the five local primary schools.It was a plan put forward when the country formulated the Fourth Five-Year Plan in 1970. The specific content was that the central government allocated 80 billion yuan of special funds to support the development of small coal mines, small iron and steel plants, and small chemical fertilizers in various provinces and regions. Plants, small cement plants and small machinery plants and other five types of industrial projects.

The five local small industries were eventually implemented in all counties, and almost every county in the country has established the above five projects, thus forming a relatively independent industrial system that can independently solve the most basic needs in industrial and agricultural production.The achievement of the construction of the five local small industries lies in the promotion of the national industrialization process and the cultivation of a large number of small industrial enterprises. Some of these small enterprises became the seeds of China's industrial development later.

The construction of the five local small industries is also a very big problem.Due to the small size of a county, most of the five small industrial projects cannot meet the requirements of economies of scale, and there has been a problem of low-level redundant construction that is said by later generations.

After the reform and opening up, the state began to gradually adjust the policy of the five local small enterprises, shutting down a large number of small enterprises that did not meet the requirements of economic production, and replacing the functions of these small enterprises with a number of large enterprises.

In order to meet the needs of the local five small industries, the country has also formed a supporting equipment production system specially for the five small industries, such as Hanhua Machinery Factory is one of them.The main business of Hanhua Machinery Factory in the past few years was to produce this kind of 1-ton small-scale fertilizer equipment, but these years, there is no demand for this kind of equipment in China.

There are still many industrial enterprises similar to Hanhua Machinery Factory, and their main products are equipment used by such small enterprises. With the completion of the construction of the five small industries, these equipment can no longer find a market in China.

Lin Zhenhua recommended industrial solutions for developing countries to Zhu Jinwen, which gave Zhu Jinwen a great inspiration.Although there is no market for small equipment in China, there are still people who need it abroad.In some small African countries, the population of the whole country is only equivalent to a county in China. Giving them a set of five small equipments is enough for them to realize initial industrialization.In terms of supporting such small equipment, developed countries in Europe and the United States really cannot compare with China.You know, China's machinery industry produced thousands of sets of small equipment like this.

Zhu Jinwen was once sent to Inner Mongolia to herd horses. Later, when the "three combinations of old, middle-aged and young people" was carried out, he was integrated into the Inner Mongolia Economic Commission as a young and middle-aged cadre who knew technology, and was responsible for the construction of the five small industries.It can be said that Zhu Jinwen has personally done dozens of times from project evaluation to the placement of each machine tool.Now it is very easy for Zhu Jinwen to pass on this set of mature experience to African brothers.

"Mr. Zhu, you don't need to introduce any more details. I really believe in your knowledge. Well, now please give us a plan for the northern province to see what industrial projects we need to build and how much they will cost. I believe that, The plan you proposed to us must be very suitable for us." Harore said sincerely.
