Chapter 68: Li and Liang's surprise

After Li Yi handed over the business license documents to the staff, the three of them left the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!

Go out and turn right, and then you come to a noodle shop!

Afterwards, the three of them each ordered a bowl of noodles, and then two small cold dishes, which surprised Li Yi.

In his opinion, both of them were bureau-level figures, which were high-ranking officials in the Dragon Kingdom.

For a cadre of this level, the food should be of a higher standard, right?

Li Wenshan, perhaps seeing Li Yi's surprise, asked with a smile: "Li Yi, do you think our lunch is a bit simple?"

When Li Yi heard Li Wenshan's words, he nodded immediately and said, "I didn't expect the two directors to eat flies like ordinary people?"

Liang Guoxing burst out laughing when he heard this and said, "Li Yi, you are using this fly house very well!"

"We have no choice. We don't engage in corruption or bribery all year round. All we get is a dead salary set by the state. To put it bluntly, we are just ordinary people with some status. We eat delicacies every day. There is no need and we don't have the strength! "

Li Wenshan said with a smile: "Although this shop is small, their noodles are very good, definitely the old taste of Jiangnan Province."

Li Yi heard this and nodded with a smile. Unexpectedly, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was also a nostalgic person.

"Li Yi, you will definitely be able to go further than us old guys in the future! But I have something to tell you, which may be a bit unpleasant!"

Hearing Li Wenshan's words, Li Yi immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a serious expression: "Li Bureau, that's what you say!"

Li Wenshan took a sip of tea from the copper pot and continued: "Whether you are doing business or doing anything else, you must be worthy of your conscience!"

"I know everything about Liu Tongfu. I hope you will be an upright person in the future! Earn money with conscience!"

Li Yi did not defend himself. He knew very well that with Li Wenshan's ability, he must know which reporting letters were sent by him.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, at least he already has something in his mind.

So Li Yi did not defend himself, but looked solemn and replied: "Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely do it!"

"Didn't you just come back from the Guangshen area? Tell us what you think about it!" Li Wenshan did not dwell on that matter, but changed the subject.

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "How should I put it? Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the most cutting-edge cities in our country's opening up to the outside world. It can even be said to be our window to see the world. At the same time, it is also the best platform for the world to understand us. Therefore, in Guangzhou You can see the prosperity of Shanghai’s Shili Foreign Market decades ago, and you can also see everything under the structure of modern society, both good and bad!”

"Then let's talk about the good things!"

"There are many good things. For example, the place has almost completely got rid of the shackles of the planned economy. The speed and height of industrial and commercial development are far beyond the imagination of us inland people. To use an inappropriate word, there is nothing like our Jiangcheng. world!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"What I said is a bit conservative. For example, I don't know how your salary is calculated, Bureau Li, or how much it is. But when I worked in the meat factory, it was only more than 110 a month. Yuan, excluding various deductions, the actual amount is less than a hundred yuan!”

"We are about the same, only a dozen dollars more than you!" Li Wenshan said.

Li Yi continued: "But do you know how much it costs to hire an ordinary industrial worker in Guangshen area?"

"have no idea!"

"At least 180 a month!"

"180 yuan, isn't that almost double our salary here?"

"Yes, do you know how much it costs to stay in Guangzhou and Shenzhen for one night? It's not a very good hotel, it only costs 15 yuan a night. My monthly salary is not enough to stay for seven days, and that doesn't include food and drink!"

Li Yi's words completely shocked the two department officials. In recent years, there have been loud calls for reform and opening up, but everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one dares to take a big step forward, so I don't know. There is a gap between China and coastal areas.

"Is the gap so big?" Liang Xingguo asked somewhat depressedly.

"This is just an external manifestation of economic development. In fact, the gap between us and others is far wider than this!"

"Want something bigger?"

"Yes, the fact that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen region is developing faster than us is not just because of high wages and high consumption. It is also the fact that they have integrated the upstream and downstream industries of enterprise production and sales, creating a strong siphon effect."

"Siphon effect?"

"The siphon effect is also called the siphon phenomenon. In physics, it originally means that due to the gravitational force and potential energy difference between liquid molecules, the liquid will flow from the side with higher pressure to the side with lower pressure. Although the atmospheric pressure on both sides of the water is the same, due to the water level difference, The side with greater water pressure flows downward due to gravity, and the side with smaller water pressure flows upward due to atmospheric pressure, until the atmospheric pressure plus water pressure on both sides are equal.”

Then Li Yi continued: "There is also a siphon effect at the city level, especially in central cities. That is, core cities, central cities, big cities, and cities with advantageous positions can combine surrounding cities, small and medium-sized cities, and The resource elements of small towns are attracted, and the resources of surrounding small and medium-sized cities continue to accumulate. "

"Looking across the country, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are big cities with a siphon effect, and we are one of those areas where resources are being sucked away."

Liang Xingguo couldn't help asking: "Then the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!"

"It is possible that this will happen, but this is also what the city circle must go through during its growth phase!"

"How can we avoid this?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "If we want to avoid being siphoned away by others for talent and resources, we must build our core industries and enhance our competitiveness in major cities. To put it bluntly, we have to rely on ourselves!"

"It's easy to say, but it's probably not that simple to implement in practice!"

"That's true. After all, reform is not always smooth sailing. There will always be pain."

"Well, Li Yi, tell us about the not-so-good side of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen area!"

"No problem, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen area."

The three of them ate for more than two hours, and it was not until 4:30 that the meal ended.

Through this conversation, Li Wenshan and Liang Xingguo both developed a strong interest in Li Yi.

In their opinion, Li Yi's observation ability is really amazing, and his vision is unique. Such a person will have unlimited achievements in the future and is worth making friends with.
