After saying that, Father Yuan turned to Yang Zhen and said: "General Yang, here are my daughter and daughter-in-law. They and my two grandsons are my only relatives in the Northeast. My daughter is your personal secretary. Yes.
No matter what you say, there’s nothing you can’t say in front of them.”
"I think the reason why General Yang came to me several times is not as simple as what you just said, right? Those things are not things that can only be solved by the old man. You are a soldier, and I have always been a cheerful person.
, if you have any questions, we’d better get straight to the point.”
The old man was still quick to talk, and Yang Zhen did not ambiguity this time. He went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Yuan, I do have something to ask you. I have no other intention. I want to invite you to live in the United States for a few years. Of course, if the old man
If we have this idea, we can accept it by settling in the United States for a long time."
"If you agree, we will handle all the procedures for the old man to go to the United States. If the old man is not confident that his name will remain in Harbin, we can use a redemption method to buy the Yuan family's property in Harbin with US dollars in cash or gold bars.
All industries.”
As soon as Yang Zhen said these words, not only Mr. Yuan, but also his daughter-in-law and Yuan Zhiruo were stunned. No one understood what Yang Zhen meant by these words. What we were talking about just now
In the heat of the moment, the meeting suddenly proposed that the Yuan family go abroad. This can be described as the world of ice and fire.
Looking at the incomprehensible Yuan family father and daughter, Yang Zhen, who was about to explain, saw Guo Bingxun coming in, and smiled slightly: "Some things are just our thoughts. But what exactly are these thoughts, I think it is better to let
Our Chief of Staff Guo will explain it to the old man."
Guo Bingxun, who had just returned, was stunned when he heard that Yang Zhen asked him to tell his thoughts to the Yuan family and his daughter. However, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Yang Zhen, who had been talking to the Yuan family for a while, might be tired.
, and then let myself introduce it to them.
Guo Bingxun was a staff officer and a soldier, so he was used to being concise in his speech and never sloppy. Although Yang Zhen's style was still concise and capable when talking about Yang Zhen's thoughts, but these few words made Yang Zhen's heart clear.
The meaning of shock was clearly and completely expressed.
When Guo Bingxun told Yang Zhen's thoughts, compared to the shock of his daughter and daughter-in-law, Yuan's father seemed very calm, as if the person he was talking about was someone else. After a short period of silence, Yuan's father said: "Yang
General, your idea cannot be said to be whimsical, there are many things that can be manipulated."
"Use American capital and technology to develop modern industries. Then use the profits to feed back the domestic war of resistance. There is a lot to be done. You can provide some modern industries and ensure best-selling designs. This
My old man believes it too. Both generals are honest people, I can still see this."
"However, this matter has a great impact on me and my family and needs to be carefully considered. The family's property does not matter. Although I founded it by myself, if it is lost, it will be lost. I will not eyelid it.
My wife is so short, I feel so distressed that I vomit blood for such a small fortune."
"Actually, if you hadn't invaded Harbin and returned several factories captured by the Japanese to us, these factories, which had actually been controlled by the Japanese in disguise, would have been lost long ago. If they were handed over to you, they would have done a great job for the nation.
If I contribute to the great cause of rejuvenation, I won’t feel bad even more.”
"The two generals should also know the specific reasons. The Chinese have a problem, that is, once they get older, it is difficult to leave their homeland. I am now over sixty years old, and I am afraid that I will not be able to travel across the ocean at this time.
It will be difficult for Old Bones to return to his homeland during his lifetime."
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm getting older and don't want to leave my homeland, and if I didn't want to see with my own eyes what would happen to these Japanese people who committed all sorts of evil things by burning, killing, looting, and robbing our land, I would have left Northeast China a long time ago. Even if I didn't
Going abroad, but at least going to the customs is still possible. General Yang, you want to take me to the United States at once, I think it is better to give me a reliable reason."
Hearing Father Yuan's sigh, Yang Zhen was also a little silent. He understood the truth that old people are like lamps. Although Father Yuan still looks very healthy, he is already old after all. Let an old man in his sixties travel thousands of miles.
The United States outside the country cannot return until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, which is indeed a bit difficult. But for this plan now, apart from this old man, there is really no suitable candidate.
Pat Dingjie now stays in the United States, serving as a purchasing representative in the United States and treating illnesses. Apart from the fact that Pat Dingjie basically doesn’t understand business. On the other hand, Pat Dingjie’s identity is public. Some U.S. intelligence agencies,
Even some agencies of the Nationalist Government in the United States knew this very well.
Engaging in some things in his capacity will be strictly restricted in many aspects. Even investment in many aspects will not be allowed. There is no certain way to find a suitable and suitable candidate to implement his puffer plan.
Your business skills are not enough.
Moreover, this candidate must not only possess the most basic business skills, but his or her identity must also be kept confidential, and there must be no direct connection with the base area, any direct connection with the Northeast Bureau and himself. But privately, even if he is not a party member, he must at least be a party member.
A certain relationship. Judging from the talents that can be selected in the base area, Mr. Peng is undoubtedly the best choice.
And in Yang Zhen's view, Mr. Peng not only has the ability to complete his plan, but he also has unique conditions. His son and daughter are currently in the United States. I am afraid that based on what the old man has shown before, he will never
The shrewdness of putting all your eggs in one basket is not necessarily an industry in the United States.
Yang Zhen once carefully studied the distribution of several children of the Peng family, especially the time and place of their children abroad, as well as the people who accompanied them. He discovered a big secret. From these children of the Peng family
, judging from the time and place of going abroad, we had consciously separated our children long before the September 18th Incident.
I'm afraid only a minimal part of the family's assets are left in the Northeast, and they are also part that cannot be moved away. Except for the part in Hong Kong, I'm afraid there isn't much real money even in the customs. Most of it should be abroad at the moment. Otherwise,
The property left in the Northeast was taken away, how could the old man sit so firmly on Diaoyutai?
Although I don’t know how long Mr. Yuan has had this arrangement, whether it came about after the Middle East Road Incident frightened Jiangbei, or before the September 18th Incident, after he sensed the unusual movements in Japan with his keen sense of smell.
The arrangements have been made. But Yang Zhen can be sure that when the children of the Yuan family go abroad, it is definitely not a simple study abroad trip.
Yang Zhen felt that the reason for the abnormality was very simple. When the children of the Yuan family went abroad, they did not go alone. There were also more or less other people around them who followed the careers cultivated by Mr. Yuan.
Manager, oh, now called shopkeeper.
On the day of the September 18th Incident, the old man who received the news moved most of his family's business elites to the pass as soon as possible before the traffic in the Northeast was cut off. Later, these
Most of the people have gone to Europe and the United States. And their families have also been moved away.
The children of the Yuan family studying abroad should only be part of the purpose, and should bear more of the purpose of transferring family assets. As for the people who follow the children of the Yuan family, Yang Zhen does not believe that an old man who started from scratch and created such a large industry,
He will be so doting on his children. When his children study abroad, he will send someone to take care of them.
Choosing Mr. Peng as the executor will not give him a bad look in the United States, which can save a lot of time and energy. The most fundamental thing is that Yang Zhen believes in Mr. Peng’s patriotism. At least no one will do it after arriving in the United States.
Falling out will not be an admission of old scores. After all, in the eyes of many old overseas Chinese, the National Government, which represents China's orthodoxy, is more popular at this time.
In fact, although Yang Zhen has great confidence in Mr. Yuan, this may not necessarily be a gamble for him. People's hearts are separated from each other. This is a saying passed down from the older generation. Today we are still lovers, who knows whether tomorrow we will be because of
Falling out over a trivial matter? Mr. Yuan has been refined for a long time, so that he can cooperate with him willingly. In addition to helping their family's industry grow, there is also a promise.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen still said: "Mr. Yuan, you just said that when fighting a war, you fight with money. The base area is still in its infancy, and we don't want to rest on our laurels. So for national industry and commerce, we have nothing but money.
Except for high-consumption industries, very light tax rates have always been adopted.”
"The tax rate for the same period was less than 20% of that during the Manchukuo period. In addition, opium dens, brothels and other industries that destroyed the body and soul of our nation were banned in the base area. After banning these things, the most important tax during the Manchukuo period
The source has also been cut off. As for the rest, stamp duty and land tax, due to frequent wars, they are basically not collected in order to ensure people's livelihood."
"As a whole, in Harbin, from January to March this year, tax revenue was less than 30% of what it was during the Puppet Manchukuo period. Even if all the base areas were added together, the total tax revenue for the entire year would only be equivalent to more than 2 million yuan in Puppet Manchukuo currency.
And a large part of this is taxes in kind, which is agricultural products.”
"These funds, even if they only guarantee the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of troops, can only barely last three months. Now the fiscal revenue of the entire base area is basically maintained by Jiangbei's loans and mineral products. The fiscal deficit has been maintained at a considerable
scale. Although we have implemented a supply system for the troops, we do not actually pay salaries."
"The main source of food for the army also comes from the production and construction corps established by the army itself. All military cadres have unified standards and only a small amount of allowances are given. However, the raw materials required for arsenal production, the wages of workers in various arsenals, and the repair of transportation lines,
The army's clothing, linen and vegetable supply also require a large amount of funds to maintain."
