Chapter 791 Li Yuanhong is dead

In addition to the funds in the stock market, the second part is the youth gang bosses, old officials from the previous dynasty, old bureaucrats, and problematic compradors. These people also have a lot of wealth in their hands. According to calculations, at least cash was seized during the cleanup process.

130 million, in addition to a large amount of gold and silver, antiques, jade, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, land and real estate, corporate bonds and shares, etc., adding up to less than 500 million yuan.

Most of these people are greedy, and the wealth in their hands is all ill-gotten wealth. The people have fattened the people, and it is right that they should be taken back now.

The third part of the wealth is the concessions of the great powers. The Chinese army's rush into the concessions has actually marked that the imprint of this colonial era should disappear. Especially since China has found a large amount of illegal evidence, although the great powers strongly deny it,

However, there was also strong opposition within China against the great powers.

If they still cling to the concession, they will only be against all Chinese people. It is inevitable for the great powers to make concessions. However, what is unexpected is that the first one to propose the return of the public concession was Japan. This former life-and-death enemy would actually

Making such an unexpected decision really surprised Zhang Tinglan.

However, with the Japanese as the starting point, the United States, Britain and other countries were unwilling to cause trouble. As a result, all countries jointly announced the abandonment of the concession, and the Shili Foreign Market in Shanghai finally returned to the embrace of China. In exchange, China decided to develop the Pudong New Area and provide policies for foreign investment.

Convenience and tax benefits, in addition, Zhang Tinglan decided to set up a pilot free trade zone in Shanghai to provide tax-free treatment to some foreign goods.

In fact, Zhang Tinglan also thought deeply when making these decisions. After all, a country as huge as China always needs a window for external contact. If the great powers are blocked because of the abolition of the last public concession, it will only affect Shanghai.

The status of the center of the Far East has been in vain for Hong Kong and other places, so we simply leave the best conditions to Shanghai, continue to maintain the glory of this Pearl of the East, and let those foreign places continue to be marginalized.

This kind of exchange can be regarded as acceptable to the great powers. Although the concession has been lost, the preferential conditions provided by the new area are also what the United States, a country that eagerly advocates free trade, most hopes to become.

For China, the land and buildings in the concession have been recovered. The value of these has exceeded 200 million yuan. In addition, there are fines against illegal companies and fines paid by some people involved. All added up, Zhang Tinglan obtained a total of 100,000 yuan from Shanghai Bund.

Nearly 2.5 billion yuan, which is almost equivalent to China's annual fiscal revenue. What is particularly valuable is that 1.8 billion of this money is real money. Such a huge amount of money can do too many things.

"The focus of the First Five-Year Plan is national defense and the construction of heavy industry, so our investment is focused on the central and western regions, as well as North China and other places. In the Second Five-Year Plan, investment in heavy industry will continue to increase, but the southeastern coast and other places also need

To speed up the pace of development, the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Fujian and other places all have a good light industry foundation and a tradition of foreign trade. These areas need to be strengthened."

Zhang Tinglan walked around the ground. Then he said: "Mainly, raw silk, textile, clothing and other industries can be developed to compete with the Japanese raw silk. From this income, 500 million will be allocated to specifically support these industries.

.”

Wang Shuhan burst out laughing: "Vice President, this is a clever move. Raw silk is the most competitive product for the Japanese in the international market. Once it is eliminated, the Japanese government will lose hundreds of millions in revenue every year."

China has always dominated the silk industry. The famous Silk Road is a testimony to China's past glory. In fact, until the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, China's silk still accounted for the majority of the world's share. However, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese began to catch up. In addition to

In addition to Japanese women being sent to Nanyang to earn foreign exchange, they also had raw silk and tea.

The Japanese vigorously introduced machine production, improved industrial technology, promoted raw silk cultivation, cut down large areas of forest, and planted mulberry trees instead. In fact, these industrialized countries in later generations have always talked about environmental protection, and the various practices of the Japanese to protect the environment are even more important.

Being worshiped by some people, little do they know that everyone has a dark history.

There is no Chinese model at all, and China is not a special case. It is just China re-traveling the path that all industrialized countries have taken. This path may not be perfect, and some people will ask why China can't blaze a trail.

A new path, sorry! No country has succeeded so far, so it is better to believe in reality than to believe in false fantasies.

Having said that, after decades of unremitting efforts, the Japanese accounted for three-quarters of the world's raw silk exports in 1910, leaving China far behind. Without this last industry, the Qing Dynasty's finances also plummeted.

It deteriorated and soon collapsed completely.

Since then, Japan has dominated the raw silk industry. Their raw silk exports have reached the highest level in the world, accounting for more than one-third of the country's total exports. Ninety percent of the raw silk in the U.S. market is provided by the Japanese.

. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, American women's favorite stockings suddenly became a hot commodity. A pair could even be sold for thousands of dollars on the black market, and a large number of women flocked to it.

According to a survey at that time, two-thirds of women chose stockings as the most important thing, while only one-third chose their boyfriends. This shows that women are crazy about stockings.

The Japanese have a monopoly on the export of raw silk, which can bring in nearly one billion yuan in exports every year. It can be said that Japan's industrialization is largely supported by raw silk, which is also one of Japan's most important products.

Zhang Tinglan started in the three northeastern provinces, which are not traditional raw silk production areas. Moreover, the Japanese raw silk industry has become a general trend and it is very difficult to compete. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan has never started to engage in the raw silk industry.

However, after the land reform, the traditional silk production areas in the south have also been integrated, and mulberry farmers are no longer scattered. Professional plantations have begun to emerge. It can be said that China's raw silk has the foundation to compete with Japan for the world market.

And with China's current strength, there is no need to care about Japan's protests.

The time is completely ripe to develop the raw silk industry, so Zhang Tinglan will spend a lot of money to support it at this time. The Chinese make one dollar more on silk, and the Japanese make one dollar less. This is like Beiming.

It's like a magical skill. I absorb your internal energy and then hit you again. It has twice the effect at once.

Before World War II, the main income of the Japanese was the export of raw silk to the United States on the one hand, and the export of industrial products to China on the other. At this time, the Chinese market was already occupied by domestic products. If the North American market were to be in the hands of China again,

The island nation of Japan is just waiting to be completely marginalized!

Zhang Tinglan's decision to enter the raw silk industry also made Wang Shuhan very excited. He said with a smile: "Vice President, China has opened up the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty. This is the flagship product that our ancestors have been proud of for thousands of years. As a result,

The unworthy descendants have actually lost this advantageous industry, and it’s time to get it back. It’s just that the Japanese have just relented on the issue of public concessions, which can be considered a help to us, and they are poaching their corners. I’m afraid it’s a bit bad.

Bar."

There was a sneer on Zhang Tinglan's lips: "President Wang, these little devils are very smart, will their help be in vain?"

“What do the Japanese want?”

"Gu Weijun just sent me a telegram saying that Japan proposes to allow Taiwan to establish an independent country. This new country will be open to both China and Japan."

"Asshole!" When Wang Shuhan heard this, he stood up suddenly. Taiwan was forcibly taken away by the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. This has become the most difficult knot between China and Japan.

A powerful China must retake Taiwan, and Japan, as an island country, lacks strategic depth the most, so they also defend Taiwan to the death. There is an irreconcilable conflict between the two, and sooner or later it will become a conflict between China and Japan.

fuse.

Japan is also facing huge pressure from China, which is becoming increasingly powerful. The top Japanese leaders in this era are not all stupid. They thought about it and proposed the establishment of a Taiwan and Sino-Japanese public administration. After three

After more than ten years of imperial education, there are already a large number of pro-Japanese elements on the island, and there are also a large number of mixed blood. The new generation of islanders has been engraved with the brand of the Yamato nation.

Even if they are truly independent, the Japanese can still have an advantage, which can also get rid of the biggest time bomb between China and Japan. In addition, through the founding of Nanhua, the Japanese have also seen the decline of the West. They have also set their sights on

Nanyang, want to make a fortune.

Especially Hirohito, who had just ascended the throne, coveted the wealth of Southeast Asia, which is why the Japanese government made the decision to ease relations with China.

"By doing this, the Japanese are undoubtedly taking things that belong to us as gifts. I will never let the Japanese dream come true. Now, only by accelerating our own development and attacking Japan can we have the possibility of taking back Taiwan."

Zhang Tinglan determined the development plan, but still needed candidates to implement it, so Zhang Tinglan decided to convene a conference of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai industrial and commercial entrepreneurs to discuss the future development of the Yangtze River Delta and determine industrial policies.

This conference can be regarded as a summary of the chaos in Shanghai. Zhang Tinglan also attaches great importance to it. The businessmen invited are also industrial representatives from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The most important among them are Rong Jia, Zhang Jingjiang, Yu Qiaqing and others. These celebrities in the industrial and commercial circles also

Everyone was frightened and came immediately after receiving the invitation.

But just when Zhang Tinglan was about to meet them and have a good talk, news suddenly came from Beijing that President Li Yuanhong had passed away.

Usually Li Yuanhong is just a memorial tablet, of no use, but his sudden death has created a major vacuum in China's political arena. It would have been logical for Zhang Tinglan to take over as president, but there was a problem. Zhang Tinglan was not even 30 years old. Compared with the statutory

The age of the president is still ten years younger.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tinglan had to return to Beijing immediately to decide on the next action plan. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
