Before the development of the Tarim Basin by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, it was very difficult to extend domestic economic tentacles there. The development there basically relied on fiscal tilt, and the local economic development was basically blank.
The only place with a better economy is in Urumqi, because the agricultural foundation there is better and the climate conditions are much better than in the south. After all, with such a large Taklimakan Desert there, it won't be much better even if you think about it.
Things are different now. Yaoguang Environmental Management Company does not talk about other investments. After all, the investments in machinery and equipment benefit mainly from mainland industrial enterprises, not much from the local area.
Just talking about the capital invested in the local area, it reached more than 50 billion yuan in the first year. The largest investment was the establishment of a large number of hydrogel factories and the investment cost of producing hydrogels. This alone amounted to more than 20 billion yuan. .
The second is a series of projects such as dredging rivers and excavating Lop Nur. These projects require a large amount of labor and will truly benefit the local people.
It can be said that through climate and land transformation projects in the Tarim Basin, the living conditions of residents around the Tarim Basin have undergone earth-shaking changes, which is much more effective than the government's use of financial subsidies.
And now, after about a year of governance, the climate conditions there have also undergone fundamental changes. The environment is no longer as harsh as before, especially the places near the foothills, which have gradually transformed into water towns.
The amount of artificial precipitation carried out in the Tarim Basin every year is still very high. In addition to a considerable part of the water resources being replenished underground and becoming groundwater, part of it is evaporated by the local high temperature.
Even so, there is still a large amount of water resources that have become surface water. If these surface waters are allowed to flow freely, it will not only cause more serious salinization of the land, but also a waste of these water resources.
Moreover, the larger the surface water coverage area, the greater the amount of evaporation. In order to reduce the evaporation of surface water and avoid flooding, a large number of water storage facilities need to be built.
As the foothills area with relatively good local conditions, it is naturally the first area for the construction of water storage facilities. However, the water storage facilities in these places are all invested and constructed by the government.
Because there are residents living in these areas, the land naturally does not belong to Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. Logically speaking, the company has no obligation to help local residents build such water storage facilities.
Moreover, these water storage facilities are public service facilities, and it is reasonable for the government to invest in their construction. It is because the construction of these water conservancy facilities has brought about earth-shaking changes in the environmental conditions of major residential areas.
The current situation there is that the environment in my hometown has been greatly improved, and it is very easy for local people to find a job, and their income has directly reached or even exceeded the average level in the mainland.
Because the working environment there is relatively harsh and the labor is high-intensity, the salary is naturally higher. In addition, in order to improve the local situation, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will naturally not lower the salary.
In addition, a large number of mainlanders have entered there. Due to the need for communication, more and more people are reading and literate, and their enthusiasm for literacy learning provided by Chinese education companies is also unprecedentedly high.
After all, making money is the last word. Opportunities are right in front of you. As long as you learn how to speak and read, you can basically get a salary that is several times or even 10 times higher than before. No one is not interested in this.
This is of great significance to improving the local cultural level. Being literate will have greater earning power. Even after the current project is completed, other job opportunities can be found.
This is just the beginning. After the land transformation is completed in the future, large areas of pastures, farms and forest farms will be born here. Not to mention other industries, the agricultural industry will enable the local economy to develop very well.
And as the environment improves, the population gathered here will increase significantly, the size and number of cities will also increase, and there will naturally be more opportunities to make money.
If it is further extended, the economy here will develop rapidly and the industrial agglomeration effect will be formed, and it will become the center of Central Asia, with a very large scope of radiation influence.
As the impact increases, there will naturally be more opportunities to make money, and the economic and wealth agglomeration effects will become more obvious. As a local aborigine, the benefits will naturally be quite substantial.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xinjiang has huge development potential in the future. It is not only a new growth driver for our country's economy, but also an important region for our country's economic influence to radiate to Central and Western Asia.
After the float parade, there is the mass parade. The float parade was originally very lively, but now with the mass parade, the entire Chang'an Street is even more lively, and it instantly becomes a sea of joy.
People of all ethnic groups walked on Chang'an Street holding flowers, banners, models, etc., turning the scene into a colorful scene, making Zhao Yi, who was watching above, want to go down and experience it.
There is a big difference from the past, that is, the types and colors of people's clothing are very rich. This is not only the reason for the improvement of living conditions, but also the reason for the development of my country's textiles.
In fact, the textile industry is one of the oldest industries in mankind. The specific age cannot be verified, but there is no doubt that the textile industry will never disappear in the future.
Specific to our country, the development of the textile industry is actually much slower than that of industrial countries in the world, but it is still possible to meet the basic textile consumption needs of the people.
It was just that at that time, my country's textile types were relatively single, printing and dyeing technology was relatively backward, and the level of textile machinery was low. As a result, purchasing textile cloth required cloth coupons.
Since the reform and opening up, Zhao Yi has set his sights on the development of my country's textile industry. The original purpose was not because of how profitable this industry was, but because it could provide a large number of jobs.
The number one issue that needs to be solved in my country's reform and opening up is employment. The original industrial system cannot support the huge employment population's demand for labor positions.
The textile and apparel manufacturing industry can not only provide many more labor positions than other industries, but also has relatively low technical content, rapid expansion, and is a daily necessity product for human beings.
It's just that as a person with a golden finger, even if you are working in a traditional industry, you will not do it like others. If you really follow other people's steps, you will make hard money at most.
When he was planning the textile and garment industry, he actively introduced new management models, added artificial intelligence technology, improved the quality of textiles and other methods to enhance the development level of the textile and garment industry.
It is precisely because of this set of innovative gameplay that Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company have achieved very remarkable achievements in just one or two years. It can even be described as a miracle.
The more traditional an industry is, the more difficult it is to form an effective monopoly. Even before his rebirth, no company could monopolize the textile industry.
However, although Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company have not reached the level of monopoly that high-tech enterprises have, they can actually be said to be in a monopoly position.
Because the current Hualong Apparel Company occupies 75% of the global apparel market, there will be the possibility of further increase in the future, eventually reaching about 80%, or even more is not impossible.
Because our country's economic development is so fast, people still have a certain mindset, especially in rural areas, which still retain many traditional clothing production models.
But this method will eventually be replaced by industrialization. Just like now, domestic urban residents basically no longer make clothes from tailor shops, but buy finished clothes from clothing stores.
At present, domestic people still mainly buy unbranded clothing or low-end brand clothing. There is not much consumption of mid-to-high-end clothing brands. In addition to financial issues, it is actually a concept issue.
In fact, the current domestic income is not very low, and the national welfare system is very complete, and the disposable income is even higher than that of some developed countries.
Although the prices of mid-to-high-end brand clothing are relatively expensive, they are still different from luxury brands. Most residents still have a certain spending power, but for today's people, it is not necessary.
Because the quality of the low-end brand or even unbranded clothing they buy is not much worse. At most, the design is a bit backward, and the wearing comfort is not a big problem at all.
This also depends on the improvement of my country's textile production technology. Even the low-end textiles produced by Huansha Textile Company are actually of very high quality. After all, for them, the cost of even low-quality textiles will be reduced too much.
It is precisely because of this that Hualong Clothing Company believes that the potential for domestic clothing consumption in the future is huge. After all, not everyone is satisfied with only consuming low-end brand clothing and unbranded clothing.
Especially as a new generation of young people grow up, they have not experienced the hard days of their parents' generation and are more willing to pay for a high-quality life if they are able.
The reason why Hualong Apparel Company's share of the global apparel industry has increased so high is that, in addition to the continued explosion of domestic demand, the most important thing is that the textiles they use are increasingly technologically advanced.
This has to mention Huansha Textile Company. Previously, it was only a supporting company for Hualong Clothing Company. After all, if you want to do well in the clothing industry, you must pass the textile raw materials, and the types must be rich and diverse.
In the beginning, Huansha Textile Company did cooperate with the development of Hualong Clothing Company, and its source of income basically came from Hualong Clothing Company. With the excellent performance of Hualong Clothing Company, it was still a happy life.
But Zhao Yi is not very satisfied with this situation. Although their basic requirements have been met, in the long run, they may really become a vassal of Hualong Clothing Company.
If you just want to be a vassal of Hualong Clothing Company, there is no need to operate it as a first-level enterprise alone. You can simply hang it as a second-level enterprise under Hualong Clothing Company.
Therefore, after his serious preaching, Huansha Textile Company gradually embarked on its own development path, instead of following Hualong Clothing Company step by step, which would always be lower than Hualong Clothing Company.
When they first tried the new textile business, the progress was not particularly smooth. After all, the textile market was already familiar, and there was only so much to touch.
Later, it turned out that their development was not particularly smooth. Zhao Yi reminded them to change the direction of textile development and pay more attention to the research and development of new textile raw materials and technologies, taking into account market demand.
Striving to achieve what others don't have and what others have, we have the best. According to this idea, Huansha Textile Company has launched extensive cooperation with Qingnong Biological Laboratory and Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, and increased research and development and investment in textile raw materials.
Although textile raw materials are basically inseparable from cotton, linen and fur, the same type of raw materials has great differences in terms of textile characteristics and quality.
Take cotton as an example. The fiber quality of cotton grown in different regions is different, and the quality of different varieties of cotton is also different. This is an opportunity for Huansha Textile Company.
In addition to planting conventional cotton varieties on a large scale in Xinjiang, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company also takes advantage of the excellent local environment for growing long-staple cotton to improve the quality of basic textile raw materials.
In addition, the Qingnong Biological Laboratory is entrusted to improve existing cotton varieties to enhance the performance that traditional cotton varieties cannot achieve.
For example, their colorful cotton was born under such circumstances. Using this colored cotton and matching certain textile techniques, textiles of various colors can be produced without printing and dyeing.
This kind of textile is a purely natural product and is naturally a high-end textile. Not only does the body feel more comfortable, but there is no need to worry about fading, and there is no need to worry about chemical printing and dyeing products, which will harm the body.
Following this idea, Qingnong Biological Experiment has improved almost all traditional textile raw material types to a certain extent, greatly improving the quality and market share of my country's textile raw materials.
This has also allowed Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, as the main supplier of these textile raw materials, to make a lot of money. Now Huansha Textile Company's mid-to-high-end textile raw materials basically come from China, while the low-end ones are imported.
my country is not only the world's largest exporter of finished textile products, but also the world's largest importer of textile raw materials. It needs to import a large amount of textile raw materials from all over the world every year.
Although my country's arable land area has been greatly improved due to offshore farms, coupled with the implementation of building high-standard farmland, and the degree of mechanization is getting higher and higher, it cannot meet the demand for raw materials of our country's textile industry.
In addition, due to the need for trade balance, sufficient goods must be imported from other countries. Otherwise, the country will have too much foreign exchange, which is not a good thing.
Especially now that labor costs are rising very fast. If we still mainly deal in low-end agricultural products, the profit margins of agricultural and animal husbandry companies will be very low, and they may even not make any money at all.
In addition to common cotton, the Qingnong Biological Laboratory has actually also improved the raw materials of wool textiles, especially wool. It has made many attempts to improve it and achieved great results.
For example, Zhao Yi's previous improved sheep breeds only focused on the quality of mutton and did not pay much attention to other aspects. Therefore, the quality of wool in our country was not particularly high.
However, after improvements by the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, the quality of wool provided by my country's special sheep has become the best-quality wool raw material in the world, and it is an essential raw material for Huansha Textile Company's high-end textiles.
Among the sheep breeds currently bred on a large scale in northern my country, the scale of breeding of these sheep with good wool quality is already very large, which has brought great benefits to the economy of the north, especially Inner Mongolia.
Let’s not talk about the economic benefits of mutton. The economic benefits of wool can not only cover the cost of breeding, but even have a surplus, making the development prospects of the breeding industry better and better.
In addition to conventional wool textile raw material varieties, Huansha Textile Company cooperates with brother enterprises to improve and breed more wool textile raw material varieties in order to provide more wool textile raw material varieties.
In fact, these are all raw materials obtained based on natural conditions. Although biotechnology is widely used and the technological content is very high, it still does not break away from the traditional category.
Therefore, in addition to improving these traditional raw materials, they have also invested a lot of energy in the research and development and manufacturing of more high-end technical textile raw materials.
As mentioned earlier, the use of nanotechnology to produce artificial textile fibers has characteristics that traditional textile fibers cannot achieve. It is currently the main research direction of high-end textile raw materials.
As global consumers become more and more accepting of this high-end artificial fiber, the industry is developing faster and faster because they have excellent properties that traditional textile raw materials cannot achieve.
Previously, artificial fibers were mainly concentrated in the petrochemical industry. For example, our common nylon is a petrochemical product. Although our country is not weak at all in the research and production of petrochemical textiles.
Especially for Huaxia International Petrochemical Company, artificial petrochemical fiber is their important business field, especially as the domestic energy substitution plan is gradually implemented, petrochemical energy revenue is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In order to maintain the continuous growth of corporate income and avoid a sharp decline due to changes in energy direction, they must shift their main research and production directions to other petrochemical industrial products.
Among them, the manufacturing and research and development of artificial petrochemical fibers is one of their key projects. In addition, there are many other chemicals and fertilizers, which I won’t go into here.
In addition to fossil fibers, there are actually many technologies that can be used in the field of artificial fibers. Cornerstone Materials Company has conducted more in-depth research in this area.
For example, they have developed a fiber that can achieve warmth in winter and coolness in summer. When wearing clothes made of this fiber, you will not feel the heat in the hot summer, and you will still feel cool at all.
This kind of clothing has been very popular in countries such as the Middle East. Although the price is also very high, many people still flock to it. After all, the human body is really uncomfortable in high temperature environments.
For residents in severe cold areas, it is their dream to have a piece of clothing that is not too bulky and can play a good role in keeping warm. Obviously, Cornerstone Materials Company has fulfilled their wish.
Clothing made of this material can move freely in an environment of minus 40 degrees without feeling any discomfort. Except for the cold on the exposed skin, it is basically immune to severe cold environments.
It can be said that in the face of severe cold and heat, Cornerstone Materials has provided many solutions, which can provide consumers with different levels of raw material supply and greatly enhance human beings' ability to adapt to the environment.
As for textile raw materials with other characteristics, there are also many Cornerstone Materials companies. For example, they have developed textile raw materials as thin as a cicada. After being made into clothing, it weighs only 10g, and the weight of the clothing is almost invisible.
Underwear products made of this material are currently the most high-end products in the world, and the price is also very expensive. Most luxury goods and high-end underwear products now use textile materials similar to this.
Of course, with excellent textile raw materials, we also need supporting textile technology. This is the strength of Huansha Textile Company. Their deep cultivation in this field is not comparable to that of other companies.
Just like the thin clothing mentioned above, it is certainly due to the advanced raw materials, but it also relies on the superb textile technology of Huansha Textile Company, which can maximize the characteristics of this raw material.
Abundant textile raw materials provide more possibilities for the development of the textile industry, and also provide more diversified choices for the development of the apparel field, and can also provide consumers with more choices.
This is also the reason why my country's textile and apparel industry has shown almost no signs of decline after it has developed automatically, because we have formed a set of industrial advantages that other countries cannot match.
From raw materials to textile processes to garment production, they are all top-notch in the world. Compared with other countries, the advantages are too obvious, and naturally they cannot compete with us.
Their only advantage may be the human advantage, but the human advantage is also vulnerable in the face of efficient machines. For example, the low-end unbranded clothing currently produced in our country is a highly automated production model.
Because if labor is used on a large scale, the cost will not be comparable to other countries. If you only rely on mid-to-high-end clothing, you will not be able to occupy such a high market share anyway.
In fact, not only the apparel industry, but also the derivative industries related to textiles, our country has great advantages, and even some industries occupy almost 100% of the market.
For example, in the embroidery industry mentioned earlier, the traditional embroidery industry has high labor costs, which limits the market size and the consumption possibilities of many consumers.
However, through the research and development and research of Huansha Textile Company, mass production of machines has been achieved, making embroidery products affordable for ordinary people. Although the price is not cheap, at least it is not out of reach.
Moreover, from the embroidery industry, the textile decorative painting industry was derived. In this industry, it is basically monopolized by Huansha Textile Company and has become a must-have product for many home decorations around the world.
And depending on the raw materials, the prices vary greatly. If you use the special materials of Cornerstone Materials Company, it can be guaranteed to be preserved for thousands of years without deterioration.
From these incidents one after another, Zhao Yi suddenly discovered that his influence was really everywhere, and he also had a very intuitive understanding of the terrifying size of his own economy.
When you sit at home and look at these things, they are just data, but when you walk on the street, you can see your products and services everywhere, filling every link and becoming an indispensable part of national life. (End of chapter)
