I heard that An Yi hired Jewish medical experts to establish a biological and medical research institute, trying to create a new medical system and category. On the basis of clinical medicine, he also introduced the concepts of group medicine and basic medicine, constantly absorbing mathematics, physics, chemistry, heaven and earth.
After the scientific and technological achievements of the students made medicine become an advanced discipline with multi-disciplinary and multi-treatment methods, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were amazed, and both lamented An Yi's generosity.
"Relatively speaking, clinical medicine was once called therapeutic medicine, while group medicine was called preventive medicine. The outbreak of the plague in Australia is very beneficial to our research. Therefore, when experts and scholars from the Institute of Biological and Medical Sciences
When we came to me and asked to open medical channels for this purpose, I agreed without hesitation. From now on, the social and economic benefits are very good, at least within the Commonwealth, it caused a great shock, and it is very important to improve the relationship with our South China.
, very beneficial.”
An Yi answered with a smile.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling nodded slightly, but did not ask An Yi how much money he made. They intuitively believed that continuously building and opening hospitals and purchasing medical equipment would definitely cost a lot of money. It would be good to be able to barely break even, let alone make money.
.They didn’t know that this time the Australians were bleeding profusely. Almost all the rich and wealthy people fled the continent where the terrible disease was raging. Like a herd of frightened deer, they rushed into South China with their families and their families, bringing a large number of
Hard currencies such as British pounds, US dollars and gold and silver.
The convalescent center is divided into three levels. The first level is the observation period. After one week of individual isolation, they will be transferred to the rear observation area and the treatment area, which are mainly families. The living time in the rear observation area is half
After confirming that he was safe during this period, he transferred to the newly built town called Tai O at the northern end of Chagu Peninsula.
Since large thermal power plants in Taiyuan and Guangning had been built and generated electricity at this time, which was transmitted through high-voltage wires, electricity was already connected to Tai'ao Town. Supporting facilities such as movie theaters, fast food restaurants, post offices, and department stores were increasingly improved, and these tertiary industry jobs were added.
Many of them are Jews, while the Japanese are engaged in cleaning, garbage collection, sewer management and other occupations. Living in Tai O is no different from living in an ordinary European town.
According to regulations, you can apply to immigrate to Nanhua after living here for half a year, and you can freely travel to and from various parts of Nanhua in the future. Of course, this is a story later.
Living in a strange place requires money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. According to Nanhua's regulations, you cannot work or engage in commercial and investment activities before officially immigrating. You can only rely on consumption savings or borrow money from Nanhua Bank.
And the profits it brings are extremely astonishing.
Especially for treatment, although the price of panoxicillin and simoxicillin here is far lower than the market price, making all patients feel that it is worth a thousand dollars, but if the accommodation fee, treatment fee and nursing fee are added, the cost is still higher than that of South China University.
Make extra money.
Because isolation treatment avoids the possibility of cross-infection, coupled with the application of new drugs and medical technologies, the effect is extremely amazing. Patients who enter Nanhua are basically recovered, with a cure rate as high as 99%. This good reputation is quickly spread
Returning to Australia, it was once again difficult to get tickets for the ferry route to South China Mong Street Port.
After lunch, Chiang Kai-shek called An Yi into the study. After sitting down, he waited for the attendant to make Pu'er tea. After watching the attendant close the door, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't wait to ask:
"An Yi, I am confused now. Why is France, the country with the largest army, indifferent to your invasion of Annan? It has not yet come up with a charter for the conquest. Originally, the central government was unanimously worried that the French claimed to have four hundred
Wan Junjun, if millions of troops are really sent to Annan, the central government will not know how to respond. Tell me, are the French real tigers or paper tigers?"
"hehe!"
An Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Principal, have you also noticed this? France is not a paper tiger. It has sixty-five active infantry divisions, five cavalry divisions, two mechanized divisions, and one armored division. The total strength
How can an army of 1.5 million people be a paper tiger? If it really wants to be armed, after mobilizing the whole people, the French army of 5 million people can do it. It is true that it can no longer be a real tiger!
"However, this real tiger is now seriously ill. Without a strong and powerful leader, the various political parties in France have taken turns taking charge, leading to the proliferation of various ideological trends. Everyone only focuses on immediate interests. On the one hand, they are addicted to politics.
The victors of the Sub-European War and the world's second largest colonial empire could not extricate themselves from the dream. On the other hand, they were frightened by the expansion and aggressiveness displayed by Germany and Italy, and had to hoard heavy troops to the borders of France and Germany and France and Italy in an attempt to
Deterrence warned Hitler and Mussolini.
"The French are naturally reluctant to abandon the ownership and rights of Annan, but if they are to mobilize millions of troops to the Far East, they are unable to do so. Not to mention that the huge military expenditure is the reason why they are currently in deep economic crisis.
What is difficult to support financially is just the consequences of emptying border defenses due to the redeployment of troops. No one dares to take responsibility. In addition, Britain is now involved in the Indian National Liberation War, has lost troops and is in a difficult situation, while the United States has a serious isolation mentality and only wants to take advantage of it.
Countries around the world are making money from wars and conflicts to relieve the pressure on their economies. As for other small European countries, they have not escaped from the economic crisis. Moreover, with the threat of Germany, they do not even dare to speak louder for fear of causing trouble.
Therefore, neither its own limited financial resources nor the help of its allies can be relied upon. It is not difficult to understand why the French adopt such an indifferent attitude."
Chiang Kai-shek stood up and walked back and forth. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Before, I always thought that France was one of the largest countries in the world. Your actions are like playing with fire. I feel uneasy and angry.
I was afraid that because of the war in Annan, France would openly get involved in the Sino-Japanese War. But now I understand that the French have been weak for a long time, but you have already predicted the French's movements, which makes people feel sorry for you.
Outstanding strategic vision!"
"The appointment is overrated! This is called the advantage of an inch, and the shortcoming of a foot. For example, the complicated situation in the country can only be controlled by the talents and strategies of the appointment. If it were An Yi, he would have been at a loss. By the way,
Chairman, call An Yi here this time, is there anything urgent?"
An Yi finally brought the topic to the point.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, returned to his seat, sat down, took a sip of Pu'er tea, and then slowly said: "Now our geological experts have basically confirmed the mineral information you provided, and will soon start the system development, but all of this requires
A large amount of funds have been invested, but the national finances are very difficult to use for the war of resistance and government expenditures, and there is simply no way to spend so much money for investment. I came to you this time to find a way to get the best of both worlds."
An Yi's heart tightened. He had just provided Soong Meiling with 100 million yuan in funds, but he was stunned again. Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to challenge him by calling him to Nanjing this time? How can we dispel Chiang Kai-shek's idea of taking away the land? An Yi
Yi suddenly had a headache.
Probably sensing An Yi's hesitation, Chiang Kai-shek said sternly: "An Yi, as the saying goes, you can't afford to leave early without benefit. I know that you have sacrificed a lot for the country and I won't embarrass you. Ziwen and I have discussed it over and over again.
It was decided to divide the mining company into three shares. One share is state-owned, with mines, manpower and real estate as shareholders, and it owns 51% of the total shares. Sichuan South Group will invest in equipment and technology, with 39% of the shares.
The remaining 10% will be publicly recruited and issued to the public as cash support. In this way, all interests will be taken into account! With the large investment from the state and Sichuan South Group, I believe that the 10% equity issuance will be very important.
Good luck, do you think this is good?"
An Yi was very surprised by Chiang Kai-shek's generosity. You must know that just the large-scale non-ferrous metal project of Chenzhou Shizhuyuan, according to the current increasingly tense international situation, has an annual output of more than 100 million yuan. If he holds 39% of the shares,
, that’s an income of more than 40 million. The investment in machinery and equipment can be repaid in less than a year, and then the net profit will be made. There is no better deal than this.
But if you think about it carefully, the country does not have to pay a penny, and it gets 50 to 60 million yuan in income without taking any risks. It may not be possible to rely on issuing stocks.
of trading.
An Yi did not dare to act too cheerfully, otherwise he would make Chiang Kai-shek regretful. After a long time, he nodded and promised: "In this case, it is better for students to be respectful than obey orders. In fact, the construction of Nanhua, as well as the education and medical facilities
, scientific research and other continuous investment, the funds in my hand are also very tight, but since the principal needs it, I can stop the construction of some projects and give priority to contributing to the country!
At this point, An Yi looked at Chiang Kai-shek and sincerely requested: "The students have a merciless request, that is, the operation and finance of this large non-ferrous metals enterprise must be managed by our personnel, and the central government can organize special inspections
The team conducts inspections to avoid anyone harming the interests of the country and individuals. At the same time, in order to avoid interference from local governments and the powerful people who want to seek personal gains from it, it is best for this company to be directly under the direct control of the military committee to avoid being plucked by others and eventually flowing into the national treasury.
Ten does not save five. Finally, under equal conditions, the products produced by the company should be given priority to the Jiangnan, Sichuan and Nanhua Groups to meet the steel and military production needs. Otherwise, the things we produce ourselves will be re-traded.
It will flow into Japan through other methods and let them manufacture guns and cannons to deal with us. The gain outweighs the loss!"
Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief when he saw An Yi agreeing. As long as the project could make money and save the country's finances that were on the verge of bankruptcy, anything was easy to negotiate. An Yi agreed to whatever he proposed without any hesitation.
With a basic consensus, the next step will be easy. Chiang Kai-shek instructed Chen Brai to quickly organize special personnel to study the contract. Soon An Yi and Chiang Kai-shek signed the contract for the large-scale non-ferrous metal project in Shizhuyuan, Chenzhou, on behalf of the Sichuan South Group and the government respectively.
gave his own name.
Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi developed the wolframite deposits of Xihuashan, Dajishan, Kuameishan and Pangushan in Jiangxi, Dongchuang gold mine in Henan, Jinlongshan gold mine in Shaanxi and gold mines at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu, Nanyang Oilfield in Henan and Hubei
Development contracts have been signed for Jianghan Oilfield, Jiangxi Dexing Copper Mine, Maanshan Copper Mine in southern Anhui, Fujian Longyan Manganese Mine and other projects, involving a total amount of up to 500 million yuan, which is the largest undertaking of national construction in recent times.
After finishing all this, it was almost dark, and Chiang Kai-shek suddenly brought up a topic that An Yi didn't expect.
"Xiao Yi, I wonder what you think of the National Government? It has been so many years since the Republic of China was established. Have you realized Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles?"
"this--"
An Yi hesitated a little, but decided to speak out his thoughts: "Principal, please forgive the students for speaking frankly: China's problem is actually a peasant problem. Only by taking the interests of peasants into consideration in everything can the country enjoy long-term peace and stability and the political power be stable. That's it.
Judging from the current immediate needs of farmers, they are eager to own land that belongs entirely to them, but this is contrary to the interests of landlords. The land owned by many landlords has been accumulated through many years of hard work. Of course, this also
We do not rule out the robbery by local tyrants and evil gentry, who make profits by renting out land. If farmers have their own land, who will cultivate their land? Besides, land is a limited resource after all, and most of the country's land now
The control is in the hands of the landlords. If the land rights are equalized, it will greatly harm the interests of the landlords. There is an irreconcilable contradiction in this."
Chiang Kai-shek asked with a smile: "What if the landlords are allowed to take the initiative to reduce rents and interest rates so that the farmers can have food and clothing?"
An Yi was stunned: "This - landlords have become a class. From the moment it was born, maximizing the benefits of exploitation is the goal pursued by every landlord. In the current situation of a large labor surplus in rural areas, there are always people
We are willing to bear higher land rent and land rent. This is why once the land rent increases, it cannot be reduced. Our population is too large..."
"You're on to the point!"
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "An Yi, I heard that when you build Nanhua, there is a huge labor gap, but there is a surplus of labor in the country. If the government plans to immigrate to Nanhua or Mongolia, what do you think?"
An Yi was surprised and happy.
Prior to this, An Yi could only relocate the population through wars and famines, and the Jiangnan Group tried every means to relocate the population. However, this migration was unstable. For example, the Shanghai area was originally a sage land. When it was hit by war, the people naturally
They were eager to escape, but once the war subsided and the political situation stabilized, some people who had settled down in Southwest and even South China began to pack their bags and prepare to return home. If the political department had not tried their best to provide guidance and threatened them, they would have to bear the burden of traveling back home.
The expenses in Southwest and Nanhua amounted to one hundred oceans per person. If such tough measures had not been taken, there would have been a huge wave of people returning home.
If the central government comes forward to organize, then legally the migrant population will have no way to return home, and they will have to take root in South China or Mongolia. In this way, the Chinese population in South China, Mongolia and even Central Asia will be seriously insufficient.
The problem can be easily solved.
At this point, An Yi no longer cares whether this policy can really alleviate the domestic class contradictions, and strongly agrees: "This policy is wonderful! Once those farm laborers who have no land at home and those who specialize in selling their labor to earn a living for their families will migrate
When it comes to Nanhua, the labor force in rural areas is bound to be tight, so landlords have to lower land rents in order to attract people to work for them. Otherwise, they have to plant hundreds or even thousands of acres of fields themselves, and they will be exhausted and unable to do it.
!In this way, class conflicts can be easily resolved, and the country can develop healthily and enjoy long-term peace and stability!"
Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "This is also a last resort. Jianfeng (Chiang Ching-kuo's nickname) reported to me the suggestions you made to him when he was in Nanchang, trying to implement a system in eastern Jiangxi where the government issues bonds to redeem land and then distribute it to individuals.
The land reform policy met with great resistance. Many Kuomintang elders reported Jianfeng to the central government as a Red Party member, saying that the land reform violated the "Constitution of the Republic of China" and the "2020 Constitution" on the sanctity of private property.
Regulations are a gross trampling on private rights.
"Subsequently, serious riots occurred in those counties where land reform was being tried. Some landlords and gentry organized people behind the scenes to attack the county government and party headquarters, and set fire to the crops, causing extremely bad effects. Although the riots were suppressed by the security division
The dispute was quickly eliminated, and some criminals confessed to their crimes, but the target was pointed directly at Jianfeng. Subsequently, the whole country unanimously attacked, and Jianfeng had to publicly apologize in the "Central Daily News", saying that land reform was only a way to alleviate class conflicts.
This attempt has no intention of being promoted nationwide. Facts have proved that land reform does not work, and similar attempts will not be made again in the future. Only when the situation calms down."
An Yi had long known about this through the intelligence network of the fourth hall, and frowned slightly: "The principal never thought of catching a few typical killers? As long as we control the army, we are not afraid of those people turning the world upside down!"
Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Look at the government and military officials, which family does not have hundreds of thousands of acres of land? If nothing else, let's just say that the Liu family of Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew was born in Chengdu. In Huayang,
Seven counties including Xinfan, Wenjiang, Chongqing, Dayi, Shuangliu and Qionglai own 70,000 acres of land. In addition, I don’t know how many similar large families there are. If I really do that, it won’t be long before my survival is affected.
They are threatening to unite and drive me out of office. This is what Wang Jingwei is most looking forward to seeing, and I will not let him get his wish."
An Yi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. The nature of a political party and political power determines the interests of the interest class it represents. When the Kuomintang was founded, it was supported by the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie. Naturally, it could not be separated from the category of class, so it
Tie up your hands and feet when something happens.
