Chapter 116
"Seriously?" Hearing Yan Huaili's words, Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked hesitantly.
"Go ahead and say whatever you want." Yan Huaili said.
"Er..." Ye Chen stopped and suddenly wanted to test Yan Huai Li's reaction.
"Fine, then I'll talk about it! In my opinion, Jiang Zhou will be able to be ranked in the top three of the global cities' comprehensive strength ranking in less than fifteen years, or more than twenty-five years!" Ye Chen said solemnly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Huaili's expression immediately froze, and even Zhang Xingguo and Zhang Jingshan were both shaken.
Their faces trembled wildly!
Less than fifteen years? More like twenty-five years?
Jiang Zhou could become one of the top three cities in the global city rankings?
If he made such a statement on the internet, people would definitely think he was drunk...
As far as the status of cities in China is concerned, Yanjing, the political center and Shanghai, the financial center, which status would definitely not be shaken in the country's macro-strategic development.
That's why the term Yan-Hu-Jiang came into being.
And according to the order of Yan-Hu-Jiang, it is impossible for Jiang Zhou to do so!
And in the fifteen-year goals set by the country, or even thirty-year goals, have not dared to fantasize about such a great leap forward in development...
Based on this, Ye Chen's words are clearly crazy talk!
"Do you know what it means for Jiang Zhou to squeeze into the top three global cities?" After being stiffly astonished, Yan Huaili asked.
"It means that China is on top of the world, leaving traditional powers like Britain and America far behind. It means that the revival of the great nation will make the whole world bow down!" Ye Chen said fervently.
"Then you think our country can achieve this in as little as fifteen or as much as twenty-five years?" Yan Huaili asked again.
"Look back at recent history, the country has gone from war-ridden to prosperous, and the people have gone from poor to well-off. Did anyone dare to imagine forty years ago the peace and prosperity of our country today? People had nothing then and built the current prosperity on their own. Isn't that even more unbelievable compared to what I'm saying?" As he spoke, Ye Chen also became excited.
But Yan Huaili was speechless at this, he felt that Ye Chen was stealing the concept, but he could not refute it.
"I don't deny what you said. Those past decades were absolutely great, unparalleled in the history of the world. But to apply the soaring progress of those past decades to the future, do you think it's appropriate?" Yan Huaili asked.
"Secretary Yan, you misunderstood. I am not applying the laws of the past to the future. What I am trying to express is that our country is a nation that is good at creating miracles. On this divine land beneath our feet, nothing is impossible!" Ye Chen said.
Yan Huaili was dumbfounded and then could not help but smile bitterly, "The topic seems to have drifted off?" He then returned to the original point, "Are we getting off-topic? I'm asking you to analyse the future of Jiang Zhou! "
"No, Secretary Yan, we are not off-topic, because the future of Jiang Zhou is also the future of the country. Compared to Yanjing, the political center, and Shanghai, the financial center, Jiang Zhou is undoubtedly the most diverse. In addition, Jiang Zhou is also an economic stronghold of the country, with decades of pioneering experience in reform and opening up and the geographical advantage of being adjacent to the Xiangjiang River, so it is possible to open up a direct window to the international community. As the most developed stronghold in the country, there is no doubt that the country will pay more attention to Jiang Zhou! "Ye Chen spoke in a dignified manner.
Because he had the prophecy of the next sixty years, at this moment he was more like making a summary.
"Continue! " Yan Huaili said gruffly.
"Against this background, the country's resources will be heavily tilted towards Jiang Zhou in search of a real breakthrough path! " said Ye Chen.
"Then what path do you think Jiang Zhou will take next? " Yan Huaili asked.
"Technology!" Ye Chen said without thinking.
"Technology?" Yan Huaili stared up at his eyes.
"Right. The process of the era of industrialization to informatization has come to an end, and the era of informatization has now reached a critical peak. What follows is a transitional period, a transition from informatization to technology! Throughout these past years, whether industrialization or informatization, we have been the laggard party in relative terms. Although we are slowly catching up in the post-informatization era, we still don't have any obvious advantages after all!"
Ye Chen paused and continued, "These problems that I can think of, the country's strategic bureau must have thought of them long ago, and even started preparing for the technological era as early as the advent of the information technology era. All these years of silent work and planning are undoubtedly aimed at being the first to open the curtain of the technological era and to be at the forefront of the world!
Not surprisingly, the era of technology will not be far away, and our country will soon be the first to open the curtain. Once the prologue is opened, Jiang Zhou will be the first to bear the brunt. As I said before, unlike Yanjing, the political center, and Shanghai, the financial center, Jiang Zhou's diversity means that it does not need to be tied down and can go ahead without fear!
With the advent of epoch-making technology in full swing, there will be countless ambitious capitalists and high-end technological talents flocking to Jiang Zhou with the support of the state's resources and policies. With the country's resources, the most cutting-edge technology of the times, and the ambitious domestic capitalists and cutting-edge talent behind them, Jiang Zhou is capable of leaving the international metropolises of the world far behind!
And as the curtain rises on an era, fifteen years is usually a watershed moment. Jiang Zhou, at the forefront of the era, may not need to wait for that watershed moment to stand proudly in the world. By that time... Imagine what it will be like. Even if Jiang Zhou is not a political center or a financial capital, with its dominance of the technological age, I think it is definitely possible to squeeze into the top three of the global overall power rankings! "
Although Ye Chen's long speech was extremely one-sided, it was all key points!
As the head of the Jiang Zhou Municipal Committee, he could not be ignorant of the country's macro strategy, otherwise he would not be able to climb to this position.
On the contrary, as Ye Chen said, the full-scale arrival of technology was indeed not far away.
He went to Beijing last month with the head of the provincial party committee to discuss this very thing!
Although the country did not anticipate a specific year for Jiang Zhou to be among the top cities in the world in terms of overall strength, the government undoubtedly wanted to use Jiang Zhou as a major stronghold for economic and technological take-off!
Yet now Ye Chen had made some unpredictable remarks?
In an instant, Yan Huaili suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had become incomparably terrifying.
Compared to the old secretary's evaluation, what Ye Chen had shown was just as good as ever!
"But ......" Without waiting for Yan Huaili to answer, Ye Chen added.
"But what?" Yan Huaili asked subconsciously.
...
