When the war in Central Asia was raging, the Nanhua Central Financial Work Conference was also held in the Xiaonanhai Conference Hall in Xinjing. An Yi, Xu Ziliang, Gong Qian, Zhou Chongan, Wu Tingyan, Dong Fuchuan, Hu Xuelan, He Jing, Ou Chuer, Wu Hongqing, etc.
Party and government leaders attended the meeting.
Now, Zhou Chongan is summarizing the work: "The financial work in the first five months of this year was under the direct leadership and strong support of the central government, in line with the general policy of unifying the management of national fiscal revenue and expenditure, striving for a balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure, and stabilizing financial prices.
Now I will make a systematic summary of the main gains from the financial work and some important lessons learned.
"First, it unifies the management of national fiscal revenue and expenditure. Since the establishment of the central government, we have promulgated a series of laws, such as stamp duty, value-added tax, business tax, resource tax, deed tax, education surcharge, land use tax, property tax,
Urban and rural and road maintenance and construction tax, consumption tax, vehicle purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, tobacco tax, customs duties, ship tonnage tax, fixed asset investment direction adjustment tax, corporate income tax, personal property tax
In terms of systems, the Treasury Regulations, the preparation plans and staff supply standards of governments at all levels in 1938 were promulgated. In addition, measures for the establishment of financial inspection agencies, procedures for the preparation and review of budgets and final accounts, and various accounting procedures were successively formulated and announced.
system and other important laws and regulations. Thanks to this series of measures and the resolute implementation of governments at all levels, our financial work has been completely unified since May.
"In terms of legal system: Most regions have uniformly implemented various central regulations, achieving a consistent pace across the country, which is conducive to urban and rural material exchanges and gradually makes the burden on the people more equitable. For example, since the establishment of the national tax daily report system, the national urban tax revenue
, reports from municipalities, provincial capitals, and provincial cities can be obtained the next day. The figures account for about three-quarters of all daily revenue from this tax. Tariffs and tobacco taxes can be reported the next day.
The figures in the report account for about nine-tenths of the total daily revenue from these two taxes. The revenue from other small cities, rural areas, smaller passes, checkpoints, and salt fields can also be reported every ten days. The state spends money to purchase
During the grain season, we can generally get nationwide purchase and warehousing reports every ten days. Most of the grain purchased from various places can enter our war preparation warehouse on time, so that we can understand the actual situation of the country at any time.
“In terms of revenue and expenditure management: In addition to rural and urban urban reform and construction, rural town and urban primary schools and county-level middle schools, and state-run universities, which are allocated by the state, other expenditures include the purchase of grain from farmers, and all other expenditures at the district level and above.
The budgets of governments at all levels, the army, the armed police and the public security forces, as well as agencies and groups provided or subsidized by the state, are all managed by the central finance department, and the budgets can be allocated according to the establishment time, and are allocated monthly or quarterly by the financial departments or organizations at all levels.
The logistics department pays it to the central finance department.
"In terms of cash management, we can not only keep abreast of all the country's revenue, but also develop checks and disburse funds every day based on tax and treasury release reports. Because this unifies revenue and expenditure management, we can focus on
Prioritize and manage expenses
, we were able to concentrate our efforts to ensure the supply of the troops. In terms of food supply: Basically, food can be delivered wherever the army goes. In addition, we have also provided one million tons of grain to the Ministry of Commerce to adjust the urban grain market, and 50,000
tons to be handed over to the civil affairs department for disaster relief and other unforeseen needs."
When Zhou Chongan said this, he took a sip of water and saw that all the government buildings, including An Yi, were looking at him intently, and reported again:
"Secondly, excluding the country's large-scale urban and industrial construction, the central government's fiscal balance has basically reached a balance of payments. In terms of revenue, due to the integrated tax collection model of southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and Nanhua, while southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan have developed for many years,
It has a strong industrial foundation, developed commerce, frequent logistics, and high public consumption levels.
, we have a unique advantage in taxation. In the first five months, we collected 7 billion yuan in taxes through various taxes. Although the total economic volume is only one percent of that of the United States, it is enough to maintain our normal expenses. I believe
As the construction of Nanhua deepens, our income will increase significantly.
"Of course, for now, fiscal revenue can only meet our purchase of food and maintenance of normal government and military expenditures. Other items such as technology and weapons research and development, education funding, transportation and urban infrastructure construction, crude oil and food and other strategic materials hoarding and
Introduction, industrial base construction and other investments,
It is mainly maintained through profits earned from overseas investment and trade. Public is public and private is private. Many people know that we in Nanhua are very rich, but they don’t know how to make money. Now I will give this asset to
Let's give an explanation so that everyone can have a general understanding of our financial situation.
"Overseas investment and trade belong to the private property of the military and political groups with Chairman An as the core, mainly Jiangnan Group, Sichuan South Group, Yunnan Group and steel, machinery, electrical appliances, engines, food invested in the name of these three major groups,
Military industry, pharmaceutical and other group companies
industry, the core product of which is pharmaceuticals. Our patented sulfonamides, special cold medicines, penicillin and simoxicillin have a wide market in Europe and the United States, and the sales of medicines are rising every year. This year, with the increase in Europe and Asia
The situation is tense, and the military of various countries
With the intensification of procurement and the outbreak of horrific infectious diseases in Australia, our drug sales have experienced an explosive development. In just the first five months, through open channels and the underground black market, our drug sales have reached 1.8 billion US dollars.
The net profit is as high as one billion U.S. dollars. The Australians who are the main buyers have accumulated gold, silver and other wealth for decades, and their wealth has been flowing into Nanhua continuously. Therefore, everyone can see that our various investments are in an orderly manner. It seems that we can't spend all the money, but we can't.
Understand that this money is actually a subsidy from Chairman An.
"In addition to medicines, Chairman An also has other income, but this involves our military and intelligence departments and is classified as confidential. I will not describe them one by one here. You only need to know our real financial income.
It can only maintain the basic operation of the government and the army, but it is impossible to achieve great development. Moreover, this level can only be achieved with the tax revenue from southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan. If only Nanhua relied on it, it is estimated that even all of you here would also receive the tax.
Less than salary.”
There was a burst of chuckles in the conference room, and Ou Chuer, who was already a little bloated, smiled slightly and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "The third point of financial work involves our financial department, let me explain it.
"After entering June, financial prices in Nanhua have tended to be stable. As the fiscal balance is close to balance, financial prices across the country have changed significantly. According to statistics from the Central Bank Head Office, in the first month of the issuance of the Chinese yuan and the restructuring of private banks
During that period, prices rose sharply for a while, but as the central government adjusted
After the promulgation of the control policy, especially after we stepped up the crackdown on speculators, prices suddenly dropped and became increasingly stable. The prices of people's daily necessities such as food, cloth, fuel, etc. were stable but declining. The long-term prices left by the Annan colonial government
The chaotic situation of skyrocketing and uneasy markets has basically ceased to exist.
"In addition to issuing Chinese dollars, our central bank is also responsible for issuing public bonds to raise funds for national construction. Because we have adopted high interest rates, our public bond sales are extremely hot. Almost every batch of public bonds is sent to bank savings offices.
The whole city was sold out within half a day, which fully shows that the people have high regard for our government.
Full of trust. Currently, China and the United States are in the final negotiations before establishing diplomatic relations. Once formal diplomatic relations are established, we are very likely to issue a batch of public bonds in the United States. The first tranche is expected to be US$500 million. The funds raised will be used
The construction of transportation and urban facilities in western and central and southern South China will lay the foundation for the next development."
After listening to Ou Chuer's report, Xu Ziliang, who presided over the meeting, allowed everyone to discuss freely for half an hour. Finally, An Yi concluded:
"In general, our financial work is very successful, and the pace of our economic construction has not been slowed down by huge military expenditures. Now everyone is very clear about the international situation. Almost all countries are expanding their arms and preparing for war. It is impossible for us to reduce military expenditures.
expenditure, and with the outbreak of war in Europe, military expenditures will increase significantly in the future.
"Here I will tell you a piece of top-secret information. Just yesterday, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov secretly concluded the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact in Moscow. The treaty stipulates that both contracting parties guarantee
Do not use each other individually or jointly with other countries
If a contracting party is at war with a third party, the other contracting party shall not provide any support to the third party. The contracting parties will never join any group of countries that directly or indirectly opposes the other contracting party. The contracting parties shall resolve the dispute between the contracting parties by peaceful means.
all disputes.
“In addition to the non-aggression treaty, the Soviet Union and Germany also signed a secret additional agreement, which stated that in the event of territorial and political changes in the four Baltic countries of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the northern border of Lithuania would become
German and Soviet spheres of influence
If there were territorial and political changes in Poland, the Soviet Union and Germany would roughly use the Narew River, the Vistula River and the San River as the dividing line of power; in Southeast Europe, the Soviet Union was concerned about the interests of Bessarabia in Romania.
Germany declares it has no political stake in the region."
Seeing that the participants were a little indifferent, An Yi emphasized his tone: "Everyone must not think that the Soviet-German treaty has nothing to do with us and that we don't need to pay attention to it. In fact, the impact is far greater than we imagined. First, after the Soviet-German treaty was signed,
, the Soviet army can arrange it in
The troops in Poland and the surrounding areas of the Balkan Peninsula were transferred back to the Eastern Front to join in the attack on the Far Eastern Army. We are closely related to the Far Eastern Army. We will both prosper and suffer losses. Once the Far Eastern Army is defeated, we will jointly attack with the Soviet Union and the Japanese Army.
Down, faced with difficulties;
"Secondly, the Soviet Union and Germany openly discussed carving up sovereign countries, which shows that Germany has made up its mind for war. The next target will most likely be Poland, and the time will be within the next few months. Poland is not a soft persimmon.
With forty infantry divisions and ten cavalry divisions, this country launched a large-scale war against the newly born Soviet Russia in the early 1920s, occupied Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and pushed Poland's borders to the Curzon Line, which was divided along ethnic lines.
Eidong has advanced one hundred and fifty miles and has a certain strength of its own.
"Internationally, Poland and France signed a military alliance treaty, and after Germany blatantly violated its promise to annex Czechoslovakia, the British attitude began to become extremely determined. As early as early May, British Prime Minister Chamberlain announced in the House of Commons that the British
A unilateral guarantee to Poland, claiming that if Poland was attacked, Britain would provide full support. In mid-May, Britain and France issued a formal declaration,
It stated that if Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium or Switzerland were invaded, they would implement military intervention. At the beginning of this month, Britain and Turkey concluded a mutual assistance agreement. A week ago, France gave up the disputed territory of Alexandria and transferred it to
Turkey, and signed a mutual assistance agreement. All these diplomatic efforts have given Poland great confidence, and the future war will definitely be very cruel.
"What we need to do now is how to use this war to our advantage. In order to gain an advantage in the competition with Germany, the French can even give up their territories in Europe and the Mediterranean, let alone Nanhua in the Far East!
Once we sign a diplomatic agreement with France, South China will quickly reverse its disadvantageous situation in international exchanges and be generally recognized by Britain, France and other countries. We can also benefit from the war through international trade openly.
"A conservative estimate is that France needs at least 3,000 fighter jets to ensure the security of its airspace. This business is as high as 7.5 billion francs, equivalent to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The U.S. government is actively mediating and striving to obtain orders from the French, and we want
What we do is to sell our foreign trade fighter jets and get a piece of the pie. If we are lucky, we might be able to steal business from the Americans."
Hearing An Yi talk about solemnity, everyone looked serious at first, but after hearing that they could make money through war, the officials' eyes lit up. Everyone knew very well that if they could get this military purchase order
The stimulus to Nanhua's economy is self-evident.
An Yi continued: "Not just aircraft, France also needs a large number of tanks. So far, Germany has ten armored divisions and four mechanized divisions, while France has only two pitiful mechanized divisions and is currently equipping a third
, they need a large number of tanks, and the current domestic factories in France are obviously unable to meet this demand.
"Whether it is an aircraft or a tank, the only products in the world that have truly withstood the test of actual combat are our Nanhua products. After introducing a large number of Far East tank experts, our research on tanks has further deepened. At the beginning of this month, a new generation of tanks was released and is currently being developed.
Doing the final test. This new tank
Gram, the Far East named it T34, and we in South China named it Leopard II. The previous Wolf and Leopard I tanks, after reducing the armor and firepower configuration, can be included in foreign trade orders. I think whether it is the British or the French
, even Germans and Italians will be willing to buy our products."
An Yi's face was filled with a confident smile, which greatly inspired the participants.
