Chapter 950 How can plans change so quickly (Part 1)
Considering that An Yi is indeed sharing the worries for himself, and acts quickly and with great force, although Old Nanchang has been opening warehouses for disaster relief for some time, so far he has not asked the central government or Chiang Kai-shek for a penny, and dispatched one at a time
The arrival of two generals under his command was enough to see An Yi's friendship on this issue. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's expression softened a little: "How was your discussion with An Yi?"
Kong Xiangxi hesitated for a moment: "He doesn't want to give any more loans to the central government... On the day he first arrived in Xufu, at his family dinner in Xiyuan, Ziwen almost quarreled with him. Ziwen ridiculed him for being selfish.
, a big warlord who only cares about the interests of his own group, An Yi immediately pressed Ziwen for a debt, saying that the central government had owed him more than 54 million yuan to An Yi, and the southern Sichuan government was not rich now, so it was unjustifiable not to pay off.
When Ziwen was angry, he immediately replied harshly, "If you want money, you don't have your life." This made An Yi so angry that he immediately retorted to Ziwen. As they spoke, the two of them slapped the table and stood up, emotionally
Wen Bai, Zu Yan and I were very excited and quickly stopped the two of them from fighting."
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter: "Haha! Very good, Ziwen finally met the gangster An Yi, interesting... What happened next?"
Kong Xiangxi immediately despised Chiang Kai-shek in his heart. He picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea slowly. He was not in a hurry to answer, but it whetted Chiang Kai-shek's appetite.
Kong Xiangxi put down his tea cup, adjusted his glasses, and continued: "Under our dissuasion, An Yi first put away his temper and proposed that since the central government had no money to pay him back, he would use the import and export taxes of Jiangnan Group and Sichuan South Enterprise Group to hedge. Ziwen
Immediately refuse with two words - no way!"
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "Ziwen still takes care of the overall situation. This year is the peak period for our debt repayment. If the Jiangnan Group and Sichuan South Enterprise Group, which account for nearly half of the country's total import and export volume, are allowed to hedge their debts, wouldn't it mean that the central government is stretched thin and loses its credibility?
?”
Kong Xiangxi was slightly surprised, finally knowing that An Yi's loan of more than 50 million yuan might not be returned within a year and a half. He shook his head and continued to talk, making Chiang Kai-shek realize the seriousness of the problem:
"Yes, we all thought so. We wanted to talk to An Yi in a friendly manner and ask him to understand the central government's difficulties and postpone the loan repayment period for one year. Unexpectedly, Ziwen was getting angry and did not give An Yi any face.
Just when we were very worried that they would quarrel again, An Yi smiled."
"What? How can he laugh even if the central government pays him back his money?" Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised.
Kong Xiangxi replied: "Yes, we were also surprised at the time and felt something was wrong. But An Yi understood everything as soon as he opened his mouth. He said that in this case, he would add more freight and go overland through Guangxi and Yunnan, just like armed smuggling.
, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one dares to do anything to him. When the time comes, not only will the central government not receive a penny of his tariffs, but he will also have to repay his debts as scheduled. Otherwise, he will use radio stations, newspapers and magazines to slander the central government and the emperor.
The loan agreement between Jiangnan Group and Kuomintang Bank was made public. As soon as he finished speaking, there was nothing we could do, and Ziwen was so angry that he almost dropped his cup."
Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly darkened and he murmured: "So, An Yi really got together with Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and the others?"
"Members don't have to think about the worst. As far as I know, although the Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou regions have always maintained economic and trade exchanges with the Guangxi clique, the amounts are not large. How much development funds can there be in Guangxi, a place with poor mountains and harsh waters? How many development funds can there be in northwest Guangxi?
Mines and smelting plants were still built with loans, and it was not a problem to provide food and clothing, but it was not easy to achieve great development? As for other fields, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou have not established relations with the Guangxi clique, and they are also worried about implicating themselves.
, the gain outweighs the loss." Kong Xiangxi expressed his own opinion.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded noncommittally, and Kong Xiangxi pondered for a moment, and finally told an important piece of news: "An Yi then expressed his difficulties, saying that he really did not have much liquidity in his hands, and the stalls in southern Sichuan suddenly spread too wide.
It is too late to regret now; the resettlement of nearly 200,000 victims in southern Yunnan has just begun to show results. It is estimated that another 10 to 20 million will be invested this year and next, so that these 200,000 people can finally solve the problem of food and clothing and gradually stabilize the situation.
; Due to the crisis at the China-Myanmar border, the Yunnan Army urgently transported more than 4 million guns, ammunition and materials from Xiangxi and Syria arsenals. An Yiquan had to advance the money first, otherwise the factories would have to stop working; plus the hundreds of imminent
The central government did not allocate a penny to him for the relief and resettlement of tens of thousands of victims. He needed to urgently raise funds to tide over the difficulties... Alas, I think he was also anxious. The night before we came back, An Yi found me
, determined to transfer 40% of the shares of National Industrial and Commercial Bank held by him and Zhou Chongan. After much deliberation, I finally agreed to him. I plan to return to Nanjing tomorrow to finish the affairs, and then go to Shanghai to hold a shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow. Let's all join together.
Find a way to raise funds and take over all the shares held by An Yi and Zhou Chongan. This will also make the bank's operations more stable and avoid the chaos that happened some time ago."
"An Yi is really willing to withdraw from the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China?" Chiang Kai-shek was puzzled.
Kong Xiangxi nodded again: "This time it's true. Even Ziwen was surprised. He put away his temper and persuaded An Yi to calm down and think before making a decision. In the upcoming currency reform, the scale and strength of the company will rank among the top three in the country.
The National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has a good chance of obtaining the currency issuance rights chartered by the Ministry of Finance. To withdraw at this time is to throw away the huge benefits that are about to be obtained. But An Yi has made up his mind and immediately decided not to retain those shares and return himself.
It’s hard for us to say anything more if we explain that suffering a loss is a blessing.”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slowly: "Speaking of which, he is really having difficulty making money..."
"That should be the case, Ziwen also thinks the same. In the past few months, the secret transfer of the old Nanchang enterprise owned by the Jiangnan Group has been carried out in an orderly manner. The bicycle factory, the rickshaw factory, and the goods yards of the three docks located on the edge of the Gan River have been sold to
The radio factory was sold to the local chaebol, the radio factory was sold to Hongfa Company in Zhejiang, the agricultural machinery factory was all transferred to me and the Yu family, the department store, and the grain and oil food factory were transferred to several presidents of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce. No one dared to take over.
The textile printing and dyeing factory was disassembled and put on the ship, and the entire factory was moved to southern Sichuan. Next, I am afraid that the smelting factory, hardware factory, pharmaceutical factory and other pillar enterprises will also gradually be transferred. It seems that Anyi and Jiangnan Group are really going to give up the old Nanchang base.
"I am actually very worried that after the Jiangnan Group withdraws from Jiangxi, the industrial and commercial bases around old Nanchang will slowly decline. Judging from the sharp decline in tax revenue in the first half of this year, this worry is not unfounded. After all, in management experience, production technology
, in terms of marketing and other aspects, no company in the country can match Jiangnan Group, and it will be difficult to retain talents even if it fails." Kong Xiangxi sighed quietly after finishing speaking.
Chiang Kai-shek's heart tightened suddenly. He didn't know that the Jiangnan Group had a planned retreat, which would be a big loss to Jiangxi's finance and even the entire central finance. However, the previous conflicts were irreversible. Chiang Kai-shek believed that An Yi was also right.
He had resentment and wariness between himself and the central government, so he took such decisive actions regardless of gains and losses to show his anger and confrontation. From the immediate perspective, An Yi and Jiangnan Group suffered heavy losses, but in the long run, they
They may not necessarily suffer losses. At least these large and medium-sized enterprises that have relocated to western Hunan, southern Sichuan and even Yunnan will no longer have to pay taxes. Chiang Kai-shek and the central government have to be more passive in many aspects, such as the sharing of military technology and the procurement of advanced weapons and equipment.
Waiting, it will undoubtedly increase a lot of expenses, and it is not enough not to buy from Anyi. Just for the steel helmets and training and combat clothing, no one in the country has the excellent quality, unique design and low price of Anyi's subordinate factories.
The two continued to talk for more than half an hour. Kong Xiangxi stood up and left, and Chiang Kai-shek once again asked his secretary to call Yang Bin who was meeting in Nanchang.
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Bin's call was connected. After greeting him respectfully, Yang Bin reported several important things to Chiang Kai-shek: First, in view of the fact that the Red Army in the Sichuan-Hunan area has moved north into the western Hubei area, the Third Division of the 44th Army in Western Hunan
Follow up slowly, forcing them to stop advancing to the front line of Hunan and Hubei to avoid misunderstandings among friendly forces; the two divisions of the 24th Army have withdrawn to the front lines of Wulong, Nanchuan, and Wanshengchang and are on tight alert; second, An Yi's chaos
A total of twelve aircraft of the aviation squadron have secretly flown to Kunming and are temporarily under the unified command of the Yunnan Army Headquarters, forming a huge deterrent to the British army; within three to fifteen days, four grain transport ships will arrive from Hong Kong, Nanyang, etc.
Fourth, An Yi secretly sent a political work team and a news interview team deep into western Yunnan. The interview materials have been returned one after another. From tomorrow on, all resources and relationships, as well as the news, literature and art of Southern Sichuan Radio, will be used.
Three channels of science and technology set off an anti-British wave.
