This reform of YLK is very powerful and very radical. It has suffered a lot of criticism both domestically and internationally, and the pressure on the government is extremely huge.
In order to relieve the pressure on the government and suppress the voices below, China International Petrochemical Company took the lead in cooperating with YLK Petroleum and signed an oil contract with a total value of US$5 billion for the YLK government's emergency payment.
This is only a temporary measure. What will happen in the future depends on the effect of the reform. If the effect is not good, things will be a little difficult to handle later.
For example, it is reasonable to transfer 20% of the shares in the oil industry. After all, it is not easy to rebuild the oil industry, and it is also the first priority of YLK and the main source of foreign exchange.
Everyone in YLK understands very well that if they want to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible, they naturally need to restart the oil industry as soon as possible. The fastest way is to rely on external forces, and everyone's opinions will not be so big.
And although this cooperation has lost some future benefits, it has allowed YLK to obtain much-needed funds and technology to rebuild the petroleum industry, completely getting rid of dependence on foreign petroleum technology, and being able to produce more valuable petroleum products.
In terms of other industrial development, after so many years of war, coupled with the originally weak industrial strength, it is now in shambles, and it really does not have much strength.
Moreover, industrial development cannot be achieved just by wanting to develop. In addition to financial requirements, the technology required is more complicated, and it is even more troublesome than restarting the petroleum industry.
Relying on YLK's domestic strength, it is more difficult to develop than the oil industry. Although there are some criticisms in this regard, it is relatively restrained. Overall, it is more beneficial for YLK to develop the domestic industry.
Compared with the above two, the one with the greatest opposition is the agricultural exclusive business qualification. Although this qualification will not restrict the agricultural development of the landowners in YLK, the impact it brings is indeed not diminished at all.
At present, agricultural production in YLK still follows the landlord agricultural model. Landlords rent out land and production tools to tenants, and then receive half to more than three-quarters of the harvest. This can be said to be extremely exploitative.
Originally, these landlords were the local emperors, and the land suitable for agricultural development in YLK was very limited. The landlords who controlled the land resources were able to reap benefits safely.
Now that a ferocious beast is brought in, how can we not make it nervous? Although Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company rarely deployed industries abroad before, it basically only focused on the country.
But their products are sold all over the world. Mu Us mutton is very popular among the wealthy people in the Middle East. Ordinary people in rich countries can occasionally try it.
There is also Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s beef products, which are also a must-have food on the tables of the world’s wealthy class, and can bring huge economic benefits to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company every year.
Not to mention seafood products that are more friendly to the people. The harvest season of seafood from offshore farms is the happiest moment for diners who love seafood products around the world, and it has become a must-have seafood product during the market season.
As for the other agricultural products of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, although they are not sold all over the world like the above products, they are still very famous. The ordinary class may not know much about them, but people with a certain status know them better.
In agriculture-related fields, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is definitely a well-deserved giant. No one can ignore the existence of this company. This is the current international status of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
Although they control a large amount of land, they still feel uneasy. The only thing that makes them feel at ease is this land. They hope that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will give up the idea of locating industries here due to lack of land.
The YLK government also knows that blindly using force will definitely not work, so it will take out the service industry and let domestic capable people run it, which can only be a little comfort.
Although the service industry is open to all people in the country, in the final analysis only those with strong capital can participate. Others who want to participate can only set up street vendors.
Although YLK has a land area of 435,000 square kilometers, its cultivated land area is only 45,000 square kilometers, and the per capita cultivated land area is only about 2,700 square meters, which is about 4 acres of land per person.
Although it looks like it is not a small amount, after all, according to my country's farming conditions, 4 acres of land per capita is enough to feed the people of the country. After all, many rural areas in my country do not have one acre of land per capita.
But this depends on their farmland conditions. Compared with thousands of years ago, the climate in the Middle East is now very harsh. The highest temperature in summer is as high as 50 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature in winter is around 0 degrees Celsius.
The northwest wind blows all year round, and the winter is cool, rainy, and the air is humid. The summer is hot and dry. The driest season is from June to September every year, with an average monthly rainfall of 1 mm. Even in March, the wettest month, the average rainfall is only 28 mm.
Under such weather, a lot of wheat has not yet matured naturally. It has been dried at high temperatures and matured prematurely. The yield per mu is very low. It is impossible to rely on rainfall from the sky to meet the needs of agricultural development.
Therefore, their farmland relies heavily on river irrigation. Due to the early reclamation of the two river basins and the lack of scientific farming, year after year of farming and day after day irrigation, the salt in the soil gradually increased, resulting in serious soil salinization. trend.
Moreover, the cultivated land is located around the two river basins. The harm caused by regular floods to crops is far less than the damage to the soil. Floods accelerate the process of soil salinization.
If the economy is good and international relations are good, domestic food shortages can still be made up for through outsourcing. However, in emergencies and special circumstances, this approach is more difficult and can easily be controlled by others.
People's lives not only revolve around staple foods. If they want to improve their living standards to a certain level, the food structure will be relatively complicated. From this perspective, the cultivated land area is even more insufficient.
And if thorough land transformation is not carried out, in the long run, these arable lands that could still be used will gradually turn into desertification due to salinization, and eventually there will be less and less arable land, causing the problem to become bigger and bigger.
If he didn't really intend to use YLK as a bridgehead in the Middle East and as a model for governance in Middle Eastern countries, Zhao Yi really didn't want to worry about it. Wouldn't it be better to have time to do something else, so why waste time in this remote place.
Since he wanted to do it, he naturally had to do it well. Zhao Yi immediately passed the technical screening and plan screening, formulated an overall development outline, and gave it to several major enterprises.
The oil industry is a little better. Huaxia International Petrochemical Company only provides equipment and technical guidance and does not require too much involvement. The main operations are still completed by YLK Petroleum Company itself.
As for the industry, it is mainly about building industries for people's livelihood, mainly light industry and supplemented by heavy industry. It only needs to meet YLK's domestic needs and not pursue excessive pursuits.
Since this area is carried out by a specialized investment company, on the surface it has nothing to do with its enterprises, but in actual operation, it mainly purchases its industrial machinery and equipment and production technology.
Although it will not bring out its own advanced technology, it can basically reach the level of other leading countries. Taichi's equipment and technology may not necessarily gain an advantage in fierce competition.
After all, their market is also open, not completely closed, so the industrial industries deployed must have a certain degree of competitiveness. Although the high-end ones may not have it, the mid- to low-end ones must have it.
After the industrial development outline came out, this industrial investment company carried out related work intensively, registered various types of enterprises, and then began to purchase equipment and technology from its industrial enterprises.
The total capital of this investment company is US$10 billion, which is enough to establish basic light industry, of which US$8 billion is used to purchase industrial machinery and technology.
The remaining US$2 billion was used for factory construction, worker recruitment and other expenses. Once the money was received, the entire set of equipment was immediately prepared and shipped to YLK.
Although Zhao Yi sometimes procrastinates, he still adheres to a vigorous and resolute style when it comes to major issues. Within just one month of the YLK reform plan, all matters were arranged.
The above are relatively easy to handle, but in terms of agricultural development, it is indeed more difficult. The first is the land issue. It is basically impossible to buy good farmland.
Originally, as an outsider, it was difficult to participate. Many people's cheese had already been touched. People wished that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company could not continue to operate and could not sell their land to them.
Therefore, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can only turn its attention to those saline-alkali lands that have been abandoned. In the eyes of others, these lands have no value, but for Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, they are just right.
Because they have wheat varieties specifically designed for saline-alkali soils, they are very adaptable to saline-alkali soils, and long-term cultivation can effectively improve the soil structure of saline-alkali soils and gradually return the land to normal.
Moreover, the taste of this kind of wheat is not much different from that of normal wheat, and it also has higher high temperature resistance, making it very suitable for planting in countries like YLK.
However, these are only solutions to the staple food problem. There are other agricultural activities, such as the textile industry in light industry, which must have cotton, and there are many more.
Although Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will not bring out its own dominant varieties, it will appropriately consider their climate conditions and make targeted arrangements.
If there are really no corresponding varieties, then we can only temporarily purchase them internationally. It does not mean that we must establish an agriculture with a full set of raw materials needed for industry. It is not our country, so there is no need to be so harsh.
The international community did not expect that the YLK economic restart plan would progress so quickly. Almost a month after the reform was announced, it would enter the formal implementation stage, and all links would enter the emergency construction stage.
At this rate, it won't be long before a completely new change comes. According to Zhao Yi's plan, these things need to be done early next year, because there is not much time left.
He must enable YLK to generate enough funds in the short term to purchase advanced military equipment from China Military Industrial Company to prepare for the critical moment ahead.
After arranging these, Zhao Yize focused on domestic industries. Xuantian Technology Company's service robots have begun production and have been provided to Minsheng Bank as a guide for lobby business.
Although the function is relatively simple, it is indeed cute. It can not only consult the service robot on some issues, but also provide chat and relieve boredom for people doing business in the lobby.
So once it was launched, it was widely praised. Many people even went to the lobby of Minsheng Bank where this kind of robot is located just to have a look. If they can come up and chat for a few words, they will be in a very happy mood.
Minsheng Bank originally just took care of the business of its brother company and did not think too much about it, but it did not expect that it would receive such a warm welcome after using it in some business halls.
In order to attract more people to come in and handle business, even if they don't handle business temporarily, they can still leave a good impression, so all business halls are simply equipped with such service robots.
Anyway, it's not very expensive. One unit only costs 50,000 yuan. Even if it is equipped in all business halls across the country, it will only cost less than 1 billion yuan, which is still very cost-effective.
Nowadays, Minsheng Bank is not only a banking giant in China, but also has more and more businesses abroad. It has become somewhat of an international bank and brings huge operating profits every year.
Seeing that Minsheng Bank was widely praised for launching service robots, other powerful banks could not sit still and began to purchase service robots from Xuantian Technology Company.
And soon after, it began to spread from the banking system to other commercial service places. In order to attract more customers into the store, many powerful stores also began to purchase such service robots.
Although the price is still a bit expensive for them, it is still of great significance as long as it can increase the probability of consumers entering the store.
This has led to Xuantian Technology's service robots becoming more and more popular, especially with the increasing number of short videos related to service robots, more and more people want to experience human-machine dialogue.
Because service robots are so smart, whether they are doing brain teasers or making witty remarks, many people don't even ask how to handle business, just to chat with the robot.
Although Zhao Yi knew that the emergence of robots with online IQ in this era would definitely cause a huge sensation, he did not expect that it would be even more popular than he expected.
Although service robots can only be operated in China, 100,000 units were sold in just one month, bringing 5 billion yuan in revenue to Xuantian Technology Company.
Moreover, if you want to obtain artificial intelligence services, you need to pay a monthly fee to Lingchen Technology Company, which also brings additional income to Lingchen Technology Company.
According to the current popularity, about 300,000 units will be sold nationwide by the end of this year, but it is unknown whether the follow-up will be so strong.
After all, the role of service robots is really limited. Nowadays, everyone is curious about it. When the novelty wears off, it may not be as popular as it is now, and businesses will not be willing to spend money to purchase service robots.
So his eyes turned to Xuantian Technology Company's other flagship product, the civilian version of smart glasses, which was released on August 1, almost at the same time as the global satellite communication system.
Xuantian Technology Company also did not hold a special press conference this time. It only invested a certain amount of advertising through brother Internet companies. At the same time, the sales channel also chose the boutique of Shangtong Trading Company.
As a black technology product, it is cheaper than personal holographic projection equipment and can be used in many scenarios. Once launched, it has been widely loved by consumers.
In just one week, 1 million smart glasses were sold around the world. This achievement is quite impressive, and it has completely spread smart glasses among the elite.
The popularity of the elite class will naturally affect the ordinary class of people. Although the price is a bit more expensive, if you really want it, you can still save some money to buy it.
Therefore, after one month of sales in the Shangtong Trading Company boutique, it began to be sold through ordinary channels. According to the current sales results, a total of about 10 million units can be sold by the end of this year.
It may gradually become sluggish in the future. The global market for the whole year is expected to be around 15 million units. In the future, it will mainly rely on content services to make profits.
As for lowering prices to seek more sales, we have not yet considered it. Unless we wait until the next generation of smart glasses is launched and then sell the previous generation of smart glasses at a reduced price, we will not reduce prices easily.
It is obviously impossible for smart glasses to launch new products every year. It depends on the mood of Xuantian Technology Company. If it feels that it is necessary to update, it may launch the next generation of smart glasses.
Therefore, the smart glasses business can bring about 100 billion yuan in revenue to Xuantian Technology Company every year. The specific profit is estimated to be even less, not as much as Zhao Yi imagined.
From this perspective, the funding gap in his northwest development plan is very large. He hopes that he can survive this difficult period and things will be much better later.
On the one hand, investment in the development of northwest China is the highest this year. Mainly because fixed investment in construction machinery and other equipment is too high, and subsequent investment will drop rapidly.
On the other hand, the first batch of urbanization construction by China Housing Corporation is about to come to an end, which can bring certain benefits to China Housing Corporation instead of pure investment.
And with the continuous development of the economy, the industries under Xuantian Technology Company will also develop. For example, smart glasses may have good sales in China. At the same time, surrounding the development of the Internet of Things industry, the revenue of global satellite communication systems will also increase. high.
At this point, Xuantian Technology Company's main goal for this year has been completed. The main focus will be to see how the innovation workshop business, which is mainly powered by intermediate artificial intelligence, is going to be and whether it can bring enough surprises. (End of chapter)
