Li Weidong didn't show any pretense, and said with a straightforward smile: "I still can't hide it from Uncle Zhang! The boy is indeed in trouble this time! Why don't you ask your uncle for advice immediately!"
Then, Li Weidong explained to Zhang Hongming all the difficulties currently faced by Hainan's industry and commerce, and asked for advice on what he could do.
After a long while, Zhang Hongming said: "One way is to launch a larger-scale war to consume these excess materials and inject new vitality into the military industry."
Li Weidong immediately shook his head and retorted: "No, no! The newly established security force is still being reorganized and cannot yet take over the border defense of the main force!"
Now the conditions for the Hainan Army to launch a new phase of offensive are not mature at all, and there are no suitable hostile forces in the surrounding areas. The key is to prepare for a war of resistance against the Japanese.
"Of course if there are too many things, no one will want them! Therefore, we must first adjust the production structure of each factory. Everyone cannot produce the same thing!" This is a hit. Zhang Hongming saw this issue very accurately.
Hearing this, Li Weidong followed Zhang Hongming and asked: "Is there any solution? There is a large backlog of goods in the warehouse, and something will happen sooner or later!"
"Yes, but it's a bit difficult! These things they produce all have one thing in common, haven't you noticed?" Suddenly, Zhang Hongming turned around and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Li Weidong's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his head and said: "Cheap! They are all relatively cheap things!"
After Zhang Hongming pointed it out, Li Weidong finally understood the core of the problem. It was not that he was stupid, but that the authorities were obsessed with it, and bystanders knew clearly. He always looked for superficial solutions, but did not go to the deep source of the problem.
"Children can be taught!" Zhang Hongming nodded with satisfaction after hearing this and continued: "The biggest mobilization problem that troubles them is not funds or manpower, but industrial technology!"
When he said this, Zhang Hongming couldn't help but sigh. He thought back to the various difficulties he encountered when he opened his family's textile factory.
When setting up a factory and buying machines, the machines sold to them are second-hand, and the fabrics woven are not as fine as foreign fabrics. In the market competition, they lose first to others.
However, after hearing Zhang Hongming's words, Li Weidong was extremely surprised and said: "You mean...as long as we have technology and machines, the problem can be solved?"
Others may be affected by technology and machines, but with a golden finger like the Tianming Base, will Li Weidong still lack technology? The base's machine tools can process many precision machines!
"Well, that's true! But a lot of industrial technology has always been in the hands of foreigners! Do you have any idea?" Zhang Hongming replied. He didn't know Li Weidong's secret, and of course he couldn't understand Li Weidong's excitement.
"The mountain man's wonderful plan for freedom! Uncle, just wait and see!" Li Weidong has made a mistake here.
The problem that had been bothering him all day finally came to light. Li Weidong suddenly felt physically and mentally relaxed, and a touch of confidence appeared in the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he was about to do something big.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Hongming and spending a moment with Zhang Xiaoyou, Li Weidong hurriedly drove to the secret base hidden in the valley.
As soon as he entered the Tianming Base, Li Weidong went straight to the command center. After finding Xinhua who was busy, he asked: "Xinhua, is there any technical information on civilian production in the base?"
"It's all in the system computer! Commander, do you want it now?" Xinhua asked.
Li Weidong nodded and responded: "Well, call them all! Then compare them with the information I selected and print out a copy of each!"
Later, Li Weidong carefully selected these materials. From the production of entire bicycles to the craftsmanship of toothbrushes, matches, etc., Li Weidong carefully selected all the necessities needed by the nation.
Throughout the entire day, Li Weidong never left the Tianming Base. Not only did he observe the production status of the base, but he also ordered some unnecessary adjustments to the production chain.
The next day, Li Weidong convened at the Military and Government Building, including Zhang Qishan's shareholders of the Nanyang Trading Company, as well as large and small factory owners.
Seeing that the number of people had almost arrived, Li Weidong said: "You must be guessing the purpose of calling everyone here! The secret will be revealed soon, I hope everyone will wait and see!"
First of all, Zhang Qishan, representing Nanyang Company, briefly introduced the difficulties currently faced by Nanyang Trading Company and the problems caused by cargo inflation.
The businessmen who knew the inside story for the first time immediately started talking and discussing their opinions. Some people were worried that the money they invested was wasted, while others wanted to take the opportunity to stop and reduce losses, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
"Don't make any noise! Quiet! Quiet!" Seeing that the situation was continuing to develop and might get out of control, the adjutant Gao Yi stood up and shouted.
Of course, the businessmen who were doing this would not forget that Li Weidong was here, and no one would dare to challenge his authority. So they immediately quieted down and waited for Li Weidong's next words.
"The solution to the problem is already there, don't worry, everyone!" Li Weidong reassured.
Seeing these people looking at him with hope, Li Weidong sighed inwardly. It seems that only by making these capitalists feel that their property is not safe can they be obedient and the next support plan can be carried out.
"Now let's get down to business! You can regard this meeting as a bidding, but the premise is that no malicious competition is allowed! If you are interested in that project, you will report the maximum investment level you can, and there will be military support.
The government personally selects it!" Seeing that many people did not understand, Li Weidong could not continue to explain.
"Isn't this just an auction?" one of the businessmen below asked immediately.
Hearing this, Li Weidong nodded appreciatively and said: "You can understand it this way! But one thing is different from the auction. The bidding does not depend on the amount of your funds, but the final decision of the military government!"
At the beginning, many businessmen who did not understand the reason thought that this was a trick played by Li Weidong. The main purpose was to get nothing from them, and some people really planned to lose money and eliminate disasters.
But with all the projects participating in the bidding and the preferential treatment of government policies, many people think that there is something wrong with their ears. Is there such a good thing in the world?
"General! Are you saying that if we campaign for a project from you, we will not only get two-year tax exemptions, but also the provision of technology and machinery?" asked a middle-aged businessman wearing a gray and black long-distance running suit.
His name is Zhu Ji, and he is the owner of a small factory. He used to work in a factory, and later he opened a small garment factory in partnership with several relatives.
In fact, it is a factory rather than a small workshop. There are only a dozen people in total, all of whom are joined by relatives, friends and him.
I usually relied on taking small orders that big factories looked down upon, and my days were fine at that time. But with inflation, small workshops like them were the first to suffer. Now many people are grabbing even small orders.
, the life of the workshop is becoming more and more difficult.
But now when he heard Li Weidong's words, his first reaction was ecstasy, and then he couldn't believe it!
