#864 - Formulate the first five-year plan
Quan Yi's ultimate goal in presenting this population change data was precisely this.
Everyone present was extraordinary; they could quickly grasp what Quan Yi wanted to convey.
To further clarify this point, the screen changed again.
This time, it displayed the relationship between population change and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
"Our current development of the islands relies heavily on a large influx of new labor.
Moreover, in terms of consumption, the vast majority of the goods we produce are also consumed by them.
If the rate of population growth slows down, we will be unable to continue developing the islands vigorously, and our advanced productive forces will have nowhere to be deployed."
The Blue Silver Islands, which can only export high-end products, cannot absorb mid- to low-end manufactured goods without relying on their internal residents.
If effective and cyclical reproduction cannot be achieved, the overall development of industry will stagnate.
Quan Yi looked around, and the expressions on everyone's faces varied.
Some looked grave, while others did not think it was such a bad thing.
"I know many of you here will think this is not a bad thing, because even if the population decreases, we can still rely on exports.
Even if the growth of the gross domestic product slows down, it is still growing.
However, what I want to say is that the current peaceful situation on the continent will not last long.
Currently, the balance of power between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall is quietly changing, and the situation on the entire continent is like a compressed powder keg.
It would not be surprising if it exploded at any time.
And by that time, our business dealings on the continent will inevitably be impacted, and even more so, the violent tremors on the continent are very likely to impact the Blue Silver Islands.
Therefore, we must take precautions and strengthen our development.
This is an important contradiction in our current overall development."
Being far from the continent and deep in the ocean has provided a stable space for development, but it has also created distance from the continent.
Currently, within the entire venue, there are very few people who have a clear understanding of the situation on the continent.
They only think about whether a conflict on the continent has anything to do with them.
But what Quan Yi wants to say is that the continent and the ocean are ultimately in the same world, and they are not independent of each other.
"Based on this important premise, the main purpose of my convening this meeting is to discuss the development direction and main tasks for the next five years."
From the introduction to the main topic.
Quan Yi smoothly introduced the theme of this conference.
Such a unique opening and format surprised everyone present, including Quan Yi and Huo Wu's family.
Because they knew that this short opening alone required a lot of relevant data analysis.
They personally collected this data, but to be honest, they did not conduct in-depth research on this data, or the connections between the data.
Everyone focused their attention on Quan Yi on the stage.
They had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and the surrounding mist seemed to be dispelled by Quan Yi.
Moreover, his existence seemed to have become a lighthouse at sea, guiding them in the direction of progress.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap!"
It was unknown who started clapping first, but the applause quickly spread throughout the venue.
Compared to the applause upon entering, this time, everyone clearly put in more effort, sincerely praising Quan Yi's performance in leadership.
Quan Yi's image in the hearts of most people has always been that of a powerful and talented soul master.
But from this moment on, his image in the hearts of the people will undergo a huge change.
Quan Yi was neither flattered nor alarmed by this; he did not show a complacent expression.
On the contrary, the psychological pressure he was under at this time was unimaginable to outsiders.
First of all, policy and strategy formulation were not his strengths; all he could do was combine the rudimentary analysis methods he had mastered, and do his best to collect as much information as possible to deduce.
But at the same time, he also knew that even if there were risks, he had to stand up and shoulder this responsibility.
Quan Yi raised his hands and pressed down in the air, signaling everyone to stop applauding.
The screen behind him changed again.
There were many words on it.
'Open up the western sea area and search for a safe route to the western continent.'
'Explore the new continent, look for the possibility of accepting more people from the new continent, and take this opportunity to open up new markets.'
'Integrate all production links and related departments, and incorporate them into a unified command.'
'Develop medicine, reduce mortality, and increase birth rates and average life expectancy.'
'Develop military equipment.'
'Energy.'
The huge wall was covered with similar proposals, and for a moment, many people felt a little dizzy.
However, when they saw the first line of words, surprise appeared on their faces.
Just when Quan Yi raised the contradiction, some people were already starting to think about solutions.
But what they didn't expect was that Quan Yi himself had already thought of a solution.
What was even more unimaginable to them was that, in addition to this part, the large number of proposals he put forward below involved various aspects of the island.
Moreover, they were all objective problems that existed in the real situation.
The details involved were such that if one did not pay close attention to the situation on the island and have a certain degree of professional competence, they would not be able to propose them at all.
It was hard to imagine that Quan Yi, who had been away from the island for a long time and had just returned from the continent, could propose so many constructive suggestions.
At this point, everyone completely fell into a shocked silence.
Ye Xiaoxiao, Huo Wuxie, and others who participated in the meeting and thought they understood Quan Yi deeply realized that the Quan Yi they knew had always only been a very small part of him.
'A natural leader!'
At this point, everyone in the conference hall began to be sincerely convinced by Quan Yi.
Invisible recognition and trust were quietly accumulating on Quan Yi's body.
Taking advantage of this emotional shift, he pressed on while the iron was hot:
"The next step is to discuss our respective proposals and formulate specific guidelines for the next five years.
Here, everyone can speak freely, express their proposals, or opinions.
However, I would like to remind you that once this plan reaches a consensus here, it will not undergo fundamental changes in the next five years.
Therefore, please, as representatives, actively express your opinions on behalf of the groups behind you."
Speaking halfway, the corners of his mouth began to curl up in a 'sinister' smile, Quan Yi used a half-threatening, half-enticing tone to arouse the desire for expression in everyone's heart.
After all, compared to a kind smile, direct interest associations can better allow all participants to join this discussion.
