Why Lianyungang has good conditions but poor development?

As a Lianyungang person, the following points I want to say are probably that someone will shoot me with bricks ~ ~ ~ but I think it makes sense ~ ~ ~

Francis Fukuyama, a famous scholar, said: "The economy cannot be separated from the cultural background." The unique culture of our region, such as values, ways of thinking, moral level, life interest, customs and mentality, is actually the most important lagging factor in Lianyungang's economic development.

First, the obstacle of farming consciousness to industrial consciousness

The land near Lianyungang in the early days was not suitable for farming. Most people who live here are poor farmers, salt workers and fishermen. In the history of Lianyungang, there has never been a period of rich products, outstanding people and outstanding cultural heritage. Faced with poverty, our simple predecessors did not have the immigrant spirit of Europe. Nor is it like Shandong people crossing the ocean or trekking "to the East". Many people in northern Jiangsu go to Shanghai to "study", and none of them are from Lianyungang. Predecessors are used to sticking to their ancestral businesses and living a self-sufficient life. Even if they beg in famine years, the journey is not far. Not only lacks shrewdness and enterprising spirit, but also lacks the heroic spirit of creating the world with the determination of a strong man to break his arm.

Since liberation, especially since the reform and opening up, due to the slow expansion of urban areas and the outflow of citizens' children, the broad class of citizens with industrial and commercial awareness has not been cultivated, and the supplement of urban talents depends on the children of county and township cadres and farmers. The ideology of these comrades is influenced by the traditional farming civilization and the consciousness of small farmers. The citizen class has not been cultivated into an essential state, but is the dominant and mainstream. It can be said that the cultural consciousness formed by farming civilization and salt civilization still occupies a dominant position in Lianyungang's social and cultural life.

People over 40 will remember that when Baosteel was selected, most of us were afraid that if Baosteel chose Lianyungang, the influx of tens of thousands of people would have an impact on regional prices. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, when the Cantonese turned around at a red light, we were left with a green light and didn't know how to go. In the face of modern industrial civilization, we are still in an unconscious state without worry, introspection and self.

Secondly, the idea of being an official resists the concept of pro-business.

As far as Lianyungang economy is concerned, it is not only short of funds and a large number of talented entrepreneurs, but also short of the spirit and morality of market economy, especially the extensive enthusiasm for practical economic work.

In the eyes of Lianyungang people, valuing officials over business is still the mainstream consciousness. Prominent figures are officials from all walks of life. People who have knowledge, culture and hope to make a difference generally want to be officials. On the way to the official, it was really the Eight Immortals who crossed the ocean and showed their magical powers. Some people have worked tirelessly all their lives to make their officials bigger. In a region where "official ideology" is so strong, bureaucracy, privileged thoughts, paternalism and various privileged phenomena will inevitably take advantage of it and penetrate into all aspects of social and economic life. Too much "official thinking" in a region will have a long-term negative impact on economic development. If the entrepreneur's career is not recognized by the society and his professional class does not have a high social status, how can we encourage and attract more talents to flood into this class? In a region where people generally have no pro-business values, how can we expect its rapid economic development?

The more open-minded the region, the more active the economy and the less "official thinking". It seems to be a rule that the poorer the region, the poorer the people who want to eat fiscal food. "

Third, street hooliganism in economic life.

One of the main strategies of China's reform and opening up is to attract foreign investment to China and let Jinshan float to us. When huge international capital flocked to China, Lianyungang, which was at the forefront of reform and opening up and had many geographical advantages, failed to introduce much foreign capital. What is the reason? We have never fundamentally reflected on this issue. About eight or nine years ago, some investors said that Lianyungang was "a rope and a knife". Merchants are trapping you and then cutting. When withdrawing funds, a Japanese said, "I put my money into Lianyungang, and killing it a hundred times is not enough to apologize to the company!" " "

From 1992 to 1995, Lianyungang once became a big port for China to export agricultural products and feed. At that time, a large number of warehouses were built along the 35-kilometer highway from Xinpu to the port to store the products transported to the port by the Central Plains and neighboring provinces. Taking advantage of storing goods for people, we mixed the yellow sand of tractors with rapeseed meal, mixed stones with cotton meal, and sprayed water into dried sweet potatoes, and tried every means to deceive foreign businessmen and suppliers. At that time, an atmosphere was formed, and the whole warehousing industry did it. An industry that could have formed a huge scale was destroyed by us. A large number of warehouses built at that time had to be abandoned. Have we ever reflected on this sense of street hooliganism in economic life?

"Everyone is an investment environment, and everyone is the image of a city". This sentence is heard almost all over the country, but it is rarely heard in Lianyungang. It was not until last year that I made up my mind to manage the soft environment that I felt a little atmosphere. Historically, any developed area and any developed nation is bound to be "depressed and literary", paying attention to civilized education and etiquette. In a region full of deception and fraud, there can never be a golden mountain.

Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, Lianyungang has not established an economic strategic system dominated by the best interests of the region, and its economic activities are chaotic and scattered, lacking aggressiveness, vitality and initiative, and lacking grand and long-term design and operation. If there is any blueprint for the development of Lianyungang, it has always been chaotic and vague. Although every leader had a momentum of "waiting to clean up the old mountains and rivers" at the beginning of taking office, almost all of them left their posts, and the mountains and rivers remained the same. The reason is that the height of regional culture determines the height of social and economic life. The limitation of regional cultural concept is the limitation of practice. The deepening of economic life depends on the breakthrough of ideas, and thorough reform requires thorough reform of ideas.

I found the above on the internet. . . . Personally, Lianyungang people are more enthusiastic than people in big cities, but they are too content with the status quo to fight.

What's more, many leaders transferred here do nothing but embezzle some money as a springboard. Now the secretary recently transferred to Nanjing has been repairing roads, and almost every road in Xinpu Street is being repaired ~ ~ but all of them are construction teams in Nanjing!

It used to take half a year for our municipal team to build a road, but the engineering team in Nanjing didn't build it for a year. Now Xinpu in Lianyungang is shrouded in dust, which makes me afraid to go out every day to wash my hair ~ ~ ~

If the road is not repaired for one day, we will get an extra day's money ~ ~ ~ which will cause many people in Lianyungang municipal government to be laid off.

People are scattered. . . . . It's not bad in Xia Geng. . . . Do practical things for the people. . .
