Looking at the whole country, how many prefectures and cities have fiscal revenue growth comparable to Nanchang? Most of the central government’s tax revenue in Jiangxi Province comes from Nanchang. As of the second quarter of the first half of this year, it has reached one-third of Shanghai’s. An Yi said
Why has no one seen this achievement of several years of hard work? Everyone knows that major domestic newspapers and magazines have a good relationship with An Yi, but why does An Yi not brag about himself like others, but instead repeatedly requests newspapers including the Central News Agency
Not to report on himself?
Ziwen, under the current situation, there are many things that can only be done but not said, including the central government's plan to enter Sichuan that I had to reveal to you just now. It has been in progress for the past year, and it is An Yi and his soldiers who are responsible for this important task.
, as well as Qianxi and Xiangxi.
As a local army that has always been loyal to the central government, at this time, we can no longer cause unnecessary trouble to An Yi. If you have time, you can go to western Hubei and western Hunan to have a look in person. I believe you will have a clearer understanding of An Yi's contribution to the country.
A pure heart for the people.”
"Brother, I see there is a lack of communication between you and An Yi. There are many things that should be said but not said, and many questions that should be asked but not asked. That's why some misunderstandings have arisen. Just clarify. The whole country will rely on you in the future.
Man!" Song Meiling explained Song Ziwen with a smile.
An Yi saw Song Ziwen's apologetic look, chuckled, changed the subject, and took the opportunity to make an important request:
"Principal, Finance Minister Song, An Yi has always wanted to make a request, but did not dare to mention it. It was not until the principal praised and comforted the Northeast Army soldiers who died in the war on the Middle Road a few months ago that An Yi thought clearly about the thoughts in his heart.
It’s time to bring it up.”
"Oh? If you have any requests, just ask."
Chiang Kai-shek knew that An Yi's request was unusual, and it would always be a big deal if it was made. Song Ziwen also knew that An Yi, who had strong financial resources and wide connections, would not ask for help easily. He also knew that An Yi's kindness in changing the topic, adjusted his glasses, and faced An Yi solemnly.
Yi.
An Yi whispered: "Since the Northeast Army was forced to sign a new agreement on the Middle East Road, the situation of tens of thousands of Belarusians in exile in the three northeastern provinces has become increasingly difficult. According to the agreement, governments at all levels in the Northeast are not allowed to fund or take in these Russians who oppose the Soviet Union.
The Japanese, who secretly collaborated with the Soviet Union and took advantage of each other, also began to persecute Belarus in the three eastern provinces. Japan's so-called colonization army found various excuses to confiscate Belarusian property and rape Belarusian women.
Women even killed innocent businessmen, forcing a large number of Belarusians who had no nationality, no support, and no sympathy from democratic countries in Europe and the United States to go into exile. Today, more than 20,000 Belarusians have poured into the Shanghai Concession alone. These people have not only increased the burden on Shanghai
, it also doubled the number of criminal cases and various disputes throughout Shanghai. Desperate young Belarusian men took desperate risks, and young women resorted to prostitution to make ends meet.
For this reason, experts and professors from the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce in Nanchang, who are employed in arsenals, radio manufacturers, automobile factories, military schools, polytechnic universities, medical schools and other places, go to the headquarters of Jiangnan Group every day to ask for help. Members of the board of directors of Jiangnan Group face crying Belarusians all day long.
Experts, professors and chamber of commerce representatives were at a loss and miserable. They called An Yi a month ago to seek a solution. At that time, An Yi was unable to take both sides of the battle, but now he felt it was time to solve the problem.
During the Great Disaster in the Northwest, the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, Nanchang, and experts and professors donated 150,000 yuan. Although the money was not much, it could express their goodwill. An Yi believed that since we bravely faced the tens of millions of people facing the Great Disaster in the Northwest, we should not care
There are 20,000 to 30,000 more desperate Belarusians, not to mention the vast majority of these Belarusians do not need financial relief from the central government, they just need a legal
Their residence status is protected by law. Most of them have special skills, and many talents are exactly what we lack. For example, the three sets of radio code-breaking technology of the Secret Delivery Command half a month ago were Mihai, a professional radio instructor at the Non-commissioned Officer School.
Instructor Norwich’s contribution is exactly the result of eight months of work by the research team he led.”
Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ziwen and Soong Meiling looked at each other, slowly stood up and walked back, thinking for a moment and said in embarrassment:
"This matter has been discussed by the Fifth Council of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time, but neither of them has a proper solution. Since it involves the sensitive issue of international relations, especially the issue of our relations with Japan and Russia, no one dares to make a clear decision.
The United States, Britain, France and Germany turned a blind eye to this, but the French Concession and the Public Concession negotiated with the foreign affairs department three times in the name of the board of directors, hoping that we would expel these refugees to maintain order. Unfortunately, Hong Kong, Macau and other places in Southeast Asia are colonies of great powers, and no one wants to
It’s so nerve-wracking to receive!
You are now proposing to help them, not to mention that it is a difficult problem in diplomacy and in terms of resettlement. It is just a reason to embarrass the central government. Even if I agree to help them, there must be a reason to shut up the European and American countries.
OK, otherwise the international community and domestic public opinion will point their fingers at me and scold me for seeking the limelight despite not caring about my own people."
"An Yi, this matter must be done with caution. Although I, like you, sympathize with these tens of thousands of Belarusians, politics is different from doing business. There are many aspects that need to be considered. If you are not careful, you may
It attracted a lot of criticism and even scorn.”
Song Ziwen also expressed his views in time, while Song Meiling looked at An Yi worriedly, with sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
An Yi took a sip of coffee, put down the cup and stood up: "Principal, Finance Minister Song, An Yi has a way to free the central government from possible criticism, which is also consistent with the immigration policies currently being implemented by European and American countries."
Chiang Kai-shek turned around and approached An Yi, motioning for him to sit down and speak slowly.
An Yi waited for Chiang Kai-shek to sit down, then returned to his seat and said bluntly: "An Yi plans to let the factories, company shops, schools in Nanchang, Nanchang Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated companies come forward to sign a contract with the White Russians living in the concession.
After receiving the work contract, the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command and the Police Department will issue them a one-year work passport and take them to Lao Nanchang. The Belarusian Chamber of Commerce, Lao Nanchang Chamber of Commerce and
The churches can be co-located, or even the Xiangxi Appeasement Office can come forward. In this way, the national behavior is reduced to local behavior, and the central government can turn a blind eye and deal with it. Anyway, the whole world knows that now our Republic of China is unified in name.
, but many affairs are still controlled by local governments, beyond the central government’s reach. When pressed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can even scold the local governments of Jiangxi and Hunan.”
"What a good idea! I think it's feasible." Song Meiling's beautiful eyes lit up and she said with appreciation.
Song Ziwen frowned and asked An Yi: "What about one year later?"
"The world is in chaos these days, and the economic crisis has made countries all over the world miserable. If Jiangnan Group had not been supported by military procurement, I am afraid it would have declared bankruptcy. Nowadays, it can be said that everyone is in danger and cannot take care of themselves. Who cares about things that do not belong to them?
"I'm afraid the whole world will forget these people in a year." An Yi replied with a wry smile.
Song Ziwen smiled helplessly and nodded to Chiang Kai-shek who asked for his opinion: "Let An Yi do this. This method is very clever, minimizing the possible impact on diplomacy, and also making humanitarian contributions.
, at least the churches in various countries will not condemn it.
Furthermore, almost all of these White Russians are mortal enemies of the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union, and there are also many talents in art, culture and science among them, which may be helpful to old Nanchang and the emerging industrial and commercial base in western Hunan."
An Yi was very happy to see that the problem was successfully solved, and once again made a suggestion that surprised Song Ziwen and Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, Finance Minister Song, An Yi also has a suggestion to make, and he wants to acquire 20% of the shares of Jiangnan Arsenal.
The one-time transfer to the central government will, on the one hand, calm the bosses of the central ministries who have long been dissatisfied with this, and on the other hand, it will allow the Ordnance Industry Administration to carry out their long-planned large-scale adjustments.
And industrial upgrading, Sanlai Anyi can spare some money to increase investment in automobile factories, take advantage of the current bankruptcy of automobile manufacturing companies in Europe and the United States, introduce several production lines, purchase several engine and transmission technologies, and then find a way to borrow a
Invest three to five million in a machine tool factory in western Hunan, expand the scale and technical level of the foundry in western Hunan, and strive to produce our own Chinese engines and cars within two years."
Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen looked at each other, and Song Ziwen asked solemnly: "As you said, Jiangnan Group has relied on military products to survive this year. Your transfer of shares in the arsenal is something that all the central ministries and I myself want, but Jiangnan Group lacks this biggest
sources of profit, what should be done next?
What should I do... Don't get me wrong, the reason why I am so concerned is not only because of the relationship between our families, but also for the central fiscal revenue. I don't want to see Jiangnan Group lose money after you transfer the shares.
To ensure the follow-up development, do you have other plans?"
"The Finance Minister is awesome! That's right. An Yi just wants to say that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Let's just take this opportunity to upgrade the industry. An Yi plans to transfer all industries except heavy industry and grain processing industry. Go out and work in some industries that others can't do, such as machine tool manufacturing, military-civilian dual-use radio communications, etc." An Yi replied with a smile.
Song Ziwen was silent again. Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi with concern and asked An Yi carefully about his specific plans.
