Chapter 1362: Have the strength and not be afraid of challenges (2)
Chapter 1362 If you have strength, you are not afraid of challenges (Part 2)
As early as the end of the Central Plains War in 1930, Jiangnan Group began to consciously sell the industries located in the old Nanchang Industrial Center and slowly faded out of the industrial world. All the funds obtained were used for the technical upgrading of machinery and equipment and the construction of western Hunan, southern Sichuan and other places.
Until now, Jiangnan Group has only retained its transportation and commercial marketing network. For example, most of the tungsten mines in Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other places are currently monopolized by Jiangnan Group. Grain produced in Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also controlled by Jiangnan Group.
Purchases are made uniformly at a price that is 10% higher than the market price. In good harvest years, grain prices will be actively raised to avoid low prices that hurt farmers. There are also products produced by the factories and enterprises of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols before and after the westward migration.
Generally, they are sorted by Jiangnan Group and transported by water and land to all parts of the country for reproduction or sales.
What organically connects all this is Jiangnan Group's nationwide highway and waterway transportation system. As early as the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Transportation Company was established. At that time, it only had sixteen trucks and buses.
Yuejiangnan Group was established. Regular passenger and cargo ship routes from Nanchang to Jiujiang, Nanchang to Hukou, and Nanchang to Qingjiang were opened. Highway passenger and cargo transportation from Nanchang to Fuzhou and other eight surrounding counties was declared open for business. The number of trucks and buses of the transportation company exceeded 100, and passengers
There are also more than 20 freighters each. In September 2008, the highway passenger and freight transportation lines from Nanchang to Yingtan, Nanchang to Fuzhou, and Nanchang to Zhangshu were opened, and the number of trucks and buses doubled again.
In the following years, due to the National Government's successive sieges of the Soviet area, Jiangnan Group's transportation lines were destroyed. At the same time, the military's frequent requisitions made the transportation company unable to bear it. An Yi gritted his teeth and resold the company to Sanbei founded by Yu Qiaqing.
The transportation company only retains the water transportation company whose number of passenger and cargo ships has doubled again. Yu Qiaqing's poor management, coupled with the severe shortage of drivers and maintenance workers, by the end of March 4th, the transportation company was no longer sustainable.
On the eve of the transportation company's declaration of bankruptcy, Zhou Chongan appeared like an angel and took over the dying transportation company from Yu Qiaqing at the price at the time of sale. He also ordered 1,500 passenger and freight cars each from the Southern Sichuan Automobile Factory in one go.
The abolished guard force and engineering force recruited tens of thousands of veterans to join the transportation company, and the company's business suddenly experienced explosive growth.
In line with the National Government's road construction plan, Jiangnan Group has opened transportation companies to various cities and towns in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other provinces, all over the country.
About 30% of the vehicles on the road are mostly owned by the Jiangnan Group. At the same time, in the past ten years, the number of passenger and cargo ships of water transport companies has also increased significantly, with more than 400 large and small ships plying the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.
, the Yellow River, and the port cities along the Grand Canal have become important links and bridges connecting the east, west, north, and south. Due to the Anjiajun's unyielding style of revenge, more than ten car bandits, road tyrants, and water thieves who killed people and stole goods were eliminated. Since then, no one dared to attack the Jiangnan Transportation Company.
With the idea, the business became more and more prosperous.
With the support of a huge passenger and freight system, various commodities produced in Xufu, Xiangxi, Yunnan, and southern Yunnan will soon be available to people all over the country. The products of the Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums are also shipped to various places by the Jiangnan Group.
, soon appeared in department stores, electrical appliance stores, machinery stores, clothing stores, watch stores, grain and oil stores, and hardware stores. People can easily buy products such as cigarettes, matches, MSG, flour, biscuits, candies, and watches.
Cans, clothing, instant noodles, plastic products and other products, as well as local products and various minerals from all over the country, are also shipped to all parts of the country through logistics channels.
"In general, today's Jiangnan Group plays more of a lubricant and bridge role in the national economy, and is more like a professional business organization. Most of the previous industrial functions were inherited by Sichuan Nan Group.
However, under the current circumstances, this is exactly in line with the positioning of Jiangnan Group. For those companies that moved westward, Jiangnan Group has shared the joys and sorrows with them, and even retains a meager share in many companies. Compared with the unfamiliar Sichuan South
As for the group, they are more willing to believe in Jiangnan Group, and there is not so much resistance to Jiangnan Group’s suggestions and requirements. For mine owners and landowners, Jiangnan Group’s products have long been a guarantee of quality and credibility.
The mineral products and agricultural and sideline products in their hands are also willing to be sold to the Jiangnan Group, which has a good reputation. As for foreign companies, the Jiangnan Group is a long-term collaborator. They trust each other and the chance of encountering difficulties in trade is minimal.
This is also one of the reasons why orders for motorcycles, electrical appliances, bicycles, MSG, cigarettes, clothing, pesticides and other products in foreign trade have doubled over the years.”
Zhou Chongan's words attracted An Yi's affirmation: "Well said, this is also the reason why we still maintain the normal operation of Jiangnan Group after we sold all the industries under the name of Jiangnan Group. Now all our domestic and foreign trade is through
In the first half of this year alone, Jiangnan Group's trade volume reached one billion. Although after deducting costs and expenses, the profit was less than fifty million, its role was irreplaceable. In the future, with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,
, Jiangnan Group will also assume greater responsibilities and play a more important role."
The next speaker was He Jing. He Jing shrugged and spread his hands: "Unlike the previous brother groups, our Dongfang Group mainly plays a leadership role, so we do not pursue profitability. Originally, our Dongfang Group
The film company and the record company still make a profit of one to two million per year, but now that the film company has moved to Xufu, everything has to start from scratch. It is estimated that there will be no films and records released in a month or two, plus the North China War is going on.
When the people are in danger, who still has the heart to watch movies and buy records? On the contrary, the sales of "Oriental News" and "Oriental Outlook" have reached new highs. It is expected that this is the only hope for future profits."
An Yi just wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Lao Shoudao had already said: "Profit is not the only indicator of a company's survival. Being able to control the company's direction is more important than anything else. The reason why our An Jiajun can have a good reputation is that Dongfang
The propaganda and agitation of the Eastern Bloc are indispensable. Moreover, precisely because the Eastern Bloc is not utilitarian, news comments and reports are more fair and more accepted by the people.
"Think about it, if the Oriental Group has too many contacts with interest groups and owns many industries, who can trust its news and comments at critical moments? Over the years, "Oriental News" and "Oriental Outlook" have become the most impartial and objective newspapers.
It is accepted by all social strata. I heard Mr. Yongzhi say that even the first newspaper that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek reads every day is the "Oriental News", and then the "Central Daily News". And your propaganda report on the boy is
It belongs to the subtle and silent type. Xiaoyi was elected as a member of the Executive Committee Standing Committee at the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in March this year. You have made great contributions. For the current situation, Oriental Group does not need to make more money.
, but the impact must be large enough, it must be able to influence the government’s decision-making and the people’s judgment at critical moments, and you will be considered successful.”
The conference room was buzzing, and soon there was a wave of applause.
"Yes, what I said makes sense." After the applause stopped, An Yi took over and encouraged: "He Jing, don't be burdened with your thoughts. Now you just need to stick to the current business policy.
, as always, we will support you quietly behind the scenes, giving money to you when you need it, and giving people to people when you need it.
"By the way, now you have an extremely important task. The audio and video materials of the Japanese army's poison gas bombs in eastern Hebei were filmed by the officer of the *** department of our Fifth Army. At that time, this officer and his assistant were
When he was photographing the sick and wounded by the Chaobai River, after seeing the Japanese troops throwing bombs, he immediately recorded it on film. He originally thought it was a scene of continuous explosions, but what he didn't expect was a hell on earth filled with poisonous fog.
The filming continued until the poisonous fog dissipated, and everything the little devils did was faithfully recorded by the movie camera. There was also the previous scene where the Japanese Air Force dropped incendiary bombs and set fire to the mountains in Jixian County, which our political workers also recorded
The total audio-visual material is about eleven hours long. Your Eastern Bloc must immediately take over the responsibility of editing, soundtrack, commentary, and distribution. Newspapers and movies should cooperate with each other to expose the ugly face of the ***. Americans are not saying that*
Is ** a 'victim'? Didn't the UK, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries threaten to impose sanctions on us? We took this opportunity to slap them in the face and let the people of the UK, the US and other countries take a good look at the poison gas bombs
The tragic situation that has harmed the people of our country, you must know that those in Beiwu Town at that time were not just the soldiers of our 17th Army. By then people will understand who is lying. If it is done well this time, say no
It will definitely wake up the governments of Britain, the United States and other countries that have been deceived and lost face, and impose economic sanctions on Japan, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield."
He Jing's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. If this news can be grasped well, the sales volume of the newspaper will definitely increase significantly, and its influence among the people will be even greater.
Then Zhang Hongluan, King of Xiangxi, spoke: "We in Xiangxi are rich in resources. So far, coal, iron, manganese, chromium, antimony, tungsten, bismuth, lead, zinc, mercury and almost all metals, non-ferrous metals and non-metal mineral resources have been discovered. Since the Second World War,
Seven years after Nephew An Xian tried his best to help our department take root in western Hunan, our changes have been rapid, including thermal power plants, cement plants, agricultural machinery plants, woodwork plants, metal smelting plants, oil pressing plants, food plants, non-ferrous metal smelting plants, and castings.
Factory, machinery factory, gunpowder factory, hardware factory, Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory and Xiangxi Ordnance Factory were successively established. An industrial and commercial base centered on Qiancheng, where the headquarters was stationed, gradually took shape. Later, we built dense roads connecting surrounding areas.
The road network, Yuanjiang River, Zishui, and Xiangjiang River were also fully utilized and became our important water transportation channels. We seized the opportunity. When the National Government and the German Government signed a loan agreement for the construction of the Hunan-Guizhou Railway in 2034, we worked hard behind the scenes.
Promote it and promised to give the green light to build the railway, spend money and work, and soon the project was approved. So far, this railway runs through most of western Hunan through Yiyang, Changde, Taoyuan, Qiancheng, and Huaihua.
The railway has been built to Kaili in Guizhou. If everything goes well, it will be able to connect with Guiyang early next year. By then we will build a railway from Liupanshui to Guizhou, and then the entire southwest will be completely connected.
"At the same time, in order to change the backward agricultural situation in western Hunan, we have vigorously promoted water conservancy, dredged rivers, and built a total of 28 reservoirs and five hydroelectric power plants, which basically solved the agricultural irrigation and power supply problems in western Hunan. In In terms of education, thanks to Nephew An Xian's foresight, we established Xiangxi Normal College, Qiancheng Institute of Technology, Xiangxi Vocational and Technical College and Qiancheng Medical College ahead of schedule. At the same time, we popularized compulsory primary education and secondary education, which improved the cultural level of our people. In old Nanchang Before each university was sold as a whole, some faculty were transferred to enrich our teaching team, achieving a leap-forward development in education.
"So far, Qiancheng has developed into an industrial and commercial center city with influence radiating to Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Hubei. After years of insisting on accepting the resettlement of disaster victims, the total population of Xiangxi has exceeded eight million, with a complete range of light and heavy industries. Xiangxi The Pharmaceutical Research Institute is one of the drug research institutions with the highest level of medical research in China. The Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory can produce most Chinese and Western medicines at home and abroad.
“Especially our Xiangxi arsenal, in order to cope with the need for nearby replenishment during the future Anti-Japanese War, the weapons we produce are the most complete among all the arsenals in southwest China, with a monthly output of 20,000 Zhongzheng Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 pistols and rifles, with a caliber of 7.62 Five million rounds of bullets, 50,000 grenades, 20,000 grenades, 50,000 landmines, 5,000 Zhongzheng Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 submachine guns, five million rounds of 9mm Mauser pistol ammunition, and one 20mm machine gun Thousands, supporting 50,000 rounds of ammunition, Zhongzheng Type 1 shotgun, supporting 10,000 rounds of bullets, 2,000 Zhongzheng Type 5 general-purpose machine guns, 500 Zhongzheng Type 5 air-cooled heavy machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns, we have One thousand 50-caliber smoothbore mortars with independent intellectual property rights and 5,000 rounds of supporting shells; one thousand 60-caliber mortars with 5,000 supporting shells; 500 French-made August 1st mortars with supporting shells Two thousand rounds, 200 120 mortars, 1,000 rounds of supporting artillery shells, 200 37th War anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 matching artillery shells, 200 each of 75th field artillery and mountain cannon, supporting various types of artillery shells Five thousand rounds, two hundred 120 heavy howitzers, two thousand supporting shells, two hundred 88mm anti-aircraft guns, two thousand supporting shells. If the supply of steel is not greatly restricted, a strict production plan must be formulated, I believe The output can at least be doubled. It can be said that the Xiangxi Arsenal has become the production center of various types of weapons for the Anjia Army, which will definitely greatly enhance the strength of our army and give the Japanese aggressors a head-on blow."
Zhang Hongluan's words triggered a heated discussion.
Once the Hunan-Guizhou Railway is fully connected, the geographical location of western Hunan will become even more important and will become the bridgehead for the Southwest Alliance to fight against Japan in Sichuan and the most important military base to support the Anti-Japanese War.
An Yi made up his mind and immediately exchanged opinions with Zhang Hongluan after the meeting to improve the security and anti-infiltration level of Xiangxi. With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiangxi will become the fat and Japanese coveted by various princes and Japanese forces. A thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues will follow one after another.
