Chapter 897: Breaking the Cocoon and Fluttering Its Wings for Dominance (8)
Chapter 897 Breaking out of the cocoon and fluttering wings to achieve dominance (8)
After hundreds of years of civil strife and mutual conquests between local forces, the ancient city of Xufu has not many walls left. Especially after the Revolution of 1911, this land in southern Sichuan, which has been weak for many years, no longer has the Tang, Han and Han Dynasties.
During the prosperity of the Song and Ming Dynasties, no one repaired the collapsed city walls after being washed away by heavy rains. Eventually, most of the stone strips and city bricks became the homesteads of wealthy families and the walls of ordinary people.
Only at the entrance of Shuncheng Street, along the Minjiang River, is a section of the Ming Dynasty city wall that is more than 800 meters long. The majestic city wall built with huge stone strips has a wide arched city gate in the middle.
The solemn and majestic double-eaves gatehouse still stands tall after hundreds of years of wind and rain. It has gray tiles, red columns, carved beams and painted buildings. It is exquisite and reveals a trace of simplicity and elegance, and its mottled texture contains a bit of heaviness and vicissitudes.
The rising sun has coated the gatehouse with a dazzling golden light. The middle-aged British Minister Lan Pusheng is wearing a neat and decent dark linen suit. Together with An Yi, who is standing next to him with a friendly smile on his face, he sometimes looks at the north bank of the Minjiang River.
Climb high
The Song Dynasty city towers and towering government offices on the mountain sometimes overlooked the spectacular scenery of the surging Min River converging with the Jinsha River not far downstream. They chatted with each other in low voices and got along happily, without any of the restraint or artificiality of getting along for the first time.
"Dear General, the Yangtze River rolls eastward from the confluence of the three rivers and leads directly to the sea. Can this place be regarded as the beginning of the Yangtze River Civilization?"
Lan Pusheng is a typical British gentleman. He speaks in a polite manner, with an ups and downs, and occasionally mixes in beautiful classical vocabulary, which makes it difficult for An Yi, who has rapidly improved his English proficiency, to listen.
The four British attachés nearby looked at An Yi with great interest. They followed Lan Pusheng to almost all the major provinces and major cities in China. They met every Confucian scholar who was full of "what's wrong", and met the heroic Qianyun who dominated the country.
Almost without exception, warlords and heroes have to laboriously translate to understand the other party.
When the officials or generals answered, they either shook their heads and hummed a few lines of ancient famous poems, leaving people confused and confused, or they were extremely rude and self-deprecating, believing that everything abroad was good, even the moon.
They are rounder than China, and they don’t take anything around them that embodies the long history seriously.
The An Yi in front of me is completely different. From the moment we met in Luzhou yesterday afternoon, An Yi's proficient English and decent conversation made all the British people have a great impression at the first time, especially wearing dark trousers.
, An Yi in a linen shirt looked elegant and graceful, making these British people unable to compare his tall figure and gentle and elegant temperament with
They were associated with the young general who was decisive on the battlefield and known for his toughness and iron-bloodedness. After an afternoon of visits, a simple and warm reception dinner and in-depth talks in the evening, the British were all impressed by the young general who was knowledgeable and broad-minded.
I am in awe, but until now, I have never heard this general speak a poetic and relaxed language.
An Yi withdrew his eyes from the turbulent river surface, saw the guests looking at him, smiled slightly, and replied politely:
"Mr. Minister, the Wanli Yangtze River needs to start from the source. The birthplace is on the plateau thousands of miles away from the west. That place is called Sanjiangyuan. Since China has written records, the development history of civilization has been used in the rivers that are more suitable for humans.
The downstream areas are mainly. In this regard, the Yangtze civilization is later than the Yellow River civilization, and the impact on Chinese history is also slightly lower than the Yellow River civilization. However, this ancient city now has a history of more than 2,000 years.
During the Warring States Period, county -level governments have been set up here, which has been developed at a high speed from the ancient Han Dynasty.
Syrian prefecture in the first city of the Yangtze River is also a gentle and generous, very inclusive city, just like the local diligent and kind people, there is always a spirit of optimism and learning ... Mr.
The white tower has a history of more than 500 years. Let's take a look at the cities we are built in the east. The two towering Catholic and Christian iconic and beautiful buildings are not just a variety of civilizations and harmonious coexistence, and developing each other.
Is it proof? "
With the direction of An Yi referred to, Lan Po Sheng couldn't help nod, and the people also smiled. Obviously, it was very good to understand the many meanings of An Yi's words.
Yang Bin and Mr. Qi who accompanied the visit to visit and visited did not understand English, but they could also see An Yi's answer from the appearance of the guests. They were approved.
Lan Po Sheng sorted out the hair that was chaoticed by the strong river wind, and pointed at the construction site where the construction site of the Sanjiangkou Passenger Terminal was at the east.
"General, what will it be in this intense construction place?"
An Yi smiled and answered truthfully: "Here it is to Jiangkou. It turned out to be uneven.
Oops, it has seriously affected the health of the citizens. It is a place that is easy to breed of the pathogenic bacteria.
"In the second half of last year, I presented proposals to the people's parliament. It is suggested that the government under the construction bureau of the government developed this place. The representatives discussed for more than two months and finally passed the proposal.
The way to publicly tender from the society. After three rounds of competition, my wife's real estate company bought it at a price of 570,000 yuan and hired the headquarters in Shanghai to design and build.
It is the fifty European -style villas that are about to be capped, and the past is the place of high -end apartment and office building. In addition to the perfect public facilities and first -class greening around the surrounding area, the total investment in this area is about 9 million yuan. After the completion, it is completed.
, This community will become the largest financial and advanced commercial trade zone in Syrian House and even the entire Sichuan region. "
"A total investment of nearly 10 million! Please forgive my recklessness, dear general, do you think can recover the investment?" Lan Posheng's assistant Johnson widened his eyes and looked very surprised.
An Yi smiled and answered: "It is estimated that the problem is not big, Shanghai, Nanchang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums have already booked ten of them, German Lu Lin Commercial Bank, Rhein Iron and Steel joint enterprise and our cooperation agencies.
Jiang's two neighboring villas also handed over the traditional logo patterns they designed to the construction company, and asked for delivery in the first half of the month in the first half of the Southwest Economic Zone Commodity Expo held in October.
A certain British commercial institution and banks will also come to buy soon. It may not be available to buy it late. You can only choose commercial real estate in other places.
Increased, if you want to have a wide place, you may only go to the south bank of Jiangbei or Jinsha River, which are far from the commercial center to build the land. "
Lan Pusheng and others immediately looked at the busy construction site. After a closer look, they discovered the exquisite and reasonable layout of the entire area. Almost a hundred large buildings were built to the third floor. There were straight roads twelve meters wide.
It has already taken shape. As long as cement or asphalt roads are laid, you can clearly see this complete block on the edge of the river. What is even more rare is that this brand-new block occupies a unique geographical location. Although it has not yet been completed, it has already shown its charm.
Extraordinary momentum.
"It's very majestic and majestic. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the confluence of the three rivers without leaving home. If I had money, I would also like to buy an apartment of my own here!" Lan Pusheng praised it repeatedly, and then asked with interest: "
May I ask if the general’s wife in charge of developing this villa is Mrs. Ou or Mrs. Feng?”
"Jieyun came to Xufu not long ago, and it was my first wife Ou Chuer who took care of it." An Yi proudly introduced: "I have been away from southern Sichuan all year round. In addition to taking care of the company's affairs, Chu'er also helped with coordination.
Some of the government officials in southern Sichuan are my good assistants."
"Mrs. Ou is such a good wife!"
Naturally, several British people knew who Ou Chuer was, and they were all amazed. After Johnson finished praising him, he asked again: "Each building here covers an area of about 5,000 square feet, which is very spacious. What price does the general think it will cost?"
sell?"
"It is estimated to be between 350,000 and 500,000, and the highest may be as high as one million. If there are too many people who pre-order, I would like to suggest that Chuer sell it at an auction." An Yi answered without any secret.
Lan Pusheng was slightly startled. Johnson and several colleagues looked at each other. They were very surprised and admired An Yi's money-making methods. They just agreed last night on the issue of the British Chamber of Commerce setting up a liaison office in Syria. An Yi is coming today.
When this happened, it was really surprising.
But if I think about it carefully, I can't see that An Yi has premeditated it. If the minister didn't ask, An Yi wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. Moreover, according to An Yi's wishes, it doesn't necessarily have to be bought from her wife's real estate company.
For a house, any organization can purchase land to build on its own or purchase real estate as its own liaison organization. However, I am afraid that there will never be such a good community environment and excellent location in Sanjiangkou.
Three hours later, the guests and host arrived at Datatan, a scenic spot north of Xufu. Datatan is located between Yuexi and Data in the east of Minjiang River. It is downstream of the hundred-mile green lake of Yuexi River. It is surrounded by green bamboos and has a picturesque scenery.
, gentle breeze, clear water, fishing boats dotted, and blue waves like mirrors
, like a fairyland on earth, spotless. Stopping at the bottom of Datatan Dam, looking back at the smoke lingering in the distance, the hook is like a sculpture, it is like a water town landscape painting, the river breeze is ignored, the smoke is in vain, the fishermen sing like this, the water waves are rippling....
..When you are in it, your mind and body feel relaxed and your worries are forgotten.
Since European and American experts who advocate nature discovered this beautiful place, they have regarded it as a resort for leisure and vacation. With the continuous identification and development of mineral resources in southern Sichuan, light and heavy industrial enterprises have been built and put into operation, geological survey, machinery and equipment, and mining.
smelting, military
There are more and more European and American technical experts specializing in manufacturing, wireless communications, bridges and railways, etc., and the reputation of Datatan is also becoming more and more popular. During vacations, you can invite friends or bring your family here to swim and fish and communicate easily, Europe and the United States
Picnic parties, which are popular among people from all over the world, are also becoming more and more popular.
The arrival of the British Minister Lan Pu Sheng and his party was warmly welcomed by engineering and technical personnel and scholars from all over the country. After saying hello to many experts in Europe and the United States, Lan Pu Sheng deliberately asked several British materials engineers and mechanical and electrical engineers, and gave their wives and their wives and
Careful greetings.
Knowing that all the hired European and American experts work six days a week, after another five -day vacation, Lan Pu Sheng has a strong treatment of professional and technical personnel given to professional and technical personnel from various countries, which is deeply surprised.
Yi Shang took a moment, and accepted the invitation of more than a hundred diasporas in the country with great interest, and participated in a relaxed and pleasant grand picnic together.
Who knows that just halfway, journalists from Europe and the United States and dozens of media reporters in China came to the wind, and strongly demanded a joint interview with the envoys of Lanpu Sheng and General Anyi.
Lan Pu Sheng did not know if An Yi was willing to disclose to the press to disclose the temporary decision meeting. After obtaining Anyi's consent, Lan Pu Sheng agreed very happily, in addition to deepening the China and Britain of Sichuan and Britain through the trip to southern Sichuan and the United States
In addition to economic and trade cooperation, An Yi's personality charm and the ardent hope of many British diaspora are also an important reason why Lan Pu Sheng promised to be interviewed.
The rigor of the British and the rapid reflection of discipline. Under the towering trees on the river beach, a wide and elegant open convertible was quickly set up. The British flag was hung on both sides of the tent.
The cutting tablecloth, looking at it at a glance, is very formal.
Nearly a hundred stools are arranged in front of the long table as the podium. Experts from all thousands of holidays take their wives and children, and they are surrounded by their wife and children.
Very easy.
Lan Pu Sheng and An Yi took the assistant to the gift, sitting on the chair behind the long table, and began a unique press conference. As the owner, An Yi took the lead in making a brief speech.
The technicians expressed their gratitude. After a few words, they entered the formal interview stage.
For the care of the guests, the first question was British reporters.
In response to the sharp issues that have been put forward by several British journalists and the sharp problems of Sino -British relations and economic and trade exchanges, Lanpu Sheng cleverly avoided the relationship between the two governments.
Cooperation and economic and trade exchanges are very confident.
Lan Pu Sheng specializes in the feelings of visiting Luzhou and Xufu, and appreciate the enlightened and Leading ability of the Sichuan government and Anyi.
It is shocking to develop, and I earnestly expects that British engineering and technical personnel and experts in various fields are in the construction of the Syrian Prefecture to Zhaotong Railway to make better performance and make their own efforts for the development of Sino -British relations.
The middle -aged journalist of the Times finally threw the problem to An Yi: "General, you seized the tax evasion of the four cargo ships under the tax evasion of the customs of your country and the Tax Police Force of the Ministry of Finance and the Tax Police Force of the Ministry of Finance.
"?"
From the time to seeing the reporter's swarming, An Yi was prepared to answer sharp questions. For the four cargo ships, An Yi had discussed the countermeasures with the brothers of the core decision -making level. Therefore, British reporters proposed this at this time
The sensitive question just happened to Anyi's wish.
Under the nervous gaze of more than a hundred Chinese and foreign reporters, An Yi replied solemnly in English: "Jiangnan Group is a large group enterprise that strictly abides by national laws. It has never had a bad record of tax evasion. On the contrary, Jiangnan Group has made mistakes every time in the past few years."
During a natural and man-made disaster that affected the whole country, they generously spent huge sums of money for disaster relief and resettlement of victims. These situations are documented and I believe friends who have stayed in China for a long time are well aware of it.
"This unexpected incident suddenly occurred. As one of the directors of Jiangnan Group, I was very shocked. As soon as I received the news, I immediately called the group headquarters to understand the situation. The results reassured me that the export goods transported by the four cargo ships contained minerals.
Medicines, special cotton and linen fabrics, high-end woodware and ethnic handicrafts, with a total value of more than 60 million yuan, all have export approval procedures from relevant departments of the Jiangxi Provincial Government.
"I believe that the issue will be clarified soon. Please wait patiently for a while. I believe that the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Central Industry will release relevant information."
"General, as the director of the Sichuan-Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Appeasement Office, and as a senior military general, you still control the largest industrial and commercial group in the country, and control 40% of the shares of the National Industrial and Commercial Bank, which is already ranked third in the country. What do you think?
Is it reasonable?”
Han Mohua, a 45-year-old senior reporter from the Republic of China Daily, suddenly stood up and asked loudly in Chinese before it was his turn.
The reporters felt that Han Mohua's move was very impolite, but they did not criticize him. After all, this was an issue that everyone wanted to know about.
An Yi was very annoyed with this political science department clerk, but he did not show any displeasure on his face. When he saw Lan Pusheng looking over with a smile after listening to the interpreter behind him, An Yi smiled easily and turned to everyone:
"This question is quite complicated, but I am very willing to answer it, and I need to answer it in Chinese. Many journalist friends present are proficient in Chinese. It doesn't matter if they are not proficient in Chinese. I just need to speak slower."
There was a burst of laughter among the reporters. An Yi put away his smile and said loudly: "Before this, our country's laws did not have strict regulations on officials doing business, and the relevant draft formulated by the Third Plenary Session has never been effective.
Implementation, because the legislators who formulated these drafts have resigned, and many have become famous opposition figures against the central government in Nanjing, so many people feel this way, the legislators who formulated relevant laws that restrict party members and military generals from doing business
They are now opposing the laws they enacted."
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Han Mohua looked at An Yi with a look of disgust on his face.
Several reporters thought that An Yi would fool him and immediately raised their hands to ask questions. An Yi stopped him with a wave of his hand and a smile, and suddenly announced two important decisions:
"Please wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet. I take this opportunity to solemnly announce two decisions: First, I called the Shanghai Head Office of the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China yesterday afternoon and will resign as a director of the bank from today.
I hope that the bank’s shareholders will acquire all their shares within one month in accordance with the board of directors’ charter, make corresponding adjustments, and at the same time publicly announce the news in the name of the board of directors..."
The reporters were in an uproar. No one expected that An Yi would do such a trick. Reporters familiar with China's internal affairs immediately thought of a series of chain reactions that were about to happen. First of all, An Yi's high-profile announcement to withdraw from the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China meant that this
The reform of the central monetary and financial system that was supposed to be piloted in southern Sichuan this year has come to nothing. The central financial reform plan that was disrupted by the North China War will be resisted by An Yi and his allies in Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou from now on.
Secondly, the Central Ministry of Finance has borrowed more than 60 million yuan from the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Jiangnan Group in the past six months. An Yi suddenly publicly announced his withdrawal from the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and hinted that the Kong family, Feng family, Yu family, Du family, Nanchang Chamber of Commerce, etc.
The National Industrial and Commercial Bank jointly established by the six major chaebols must pay 40% of the bank's total assets to Anyi within one month. According to the operating performance analysis publicly released by the National Industrial and Commercial Bank at the end of last year, the total assets
The National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, whose assets have reached 75 million yuan, must pay An Yi a huge amount of 30 million yuan within one month. Judging from the current operating conditions of major domestic banks, the board of directors of the National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China must pay An Yi a huge amount of 30 million yuan within one month.
There is simply no way for the government to come up with this huge sum of money. In addition to borrowing from other financial institutions or foreign banks, the only way left is to recover the 40 million loan that the central government is expected to not repay. Otherwise, it will be impossible to borrow money from Anyi and its domestic and foreign peers.
Account.
An Yi and other reporters finished their exclamations, and then announced an even more shocking news:
"Yesterday morning, I received an order from the Central Military Commission, requiring me to dispatch two divisions to the north, and together with General Liu Xiang and other troops, make every effort to encircle and suppress Zhang Guotao in northern Sichuan, and Xu Xiangqiang.
"Since the three main divisions of the 24th Army stationed in southern Sichuan have not yet returned, and the local troops in southern Sichuan have just completed a major disarmament of 120,000 people, we can only wait for the return of the three main divisions of the 24th Army, which is only half of them.
, try every means to raise military expenditures before you can obey the order. After all, our army sent eight troops to the North China War of Resistance.
More than 10,000 people died in the battle and more than 20,000 were injured. From the beginning to the end, they did not receive a penny of military expenditures or a grain of food allocated by the central government. They all relied on loans from surrounding governments and overseas patriotic wealthy businessmen to persist in finishing this war.
In this battle, fortunately, although our soldiers suffered heavy losses, they fulfilled their mission from beginning to end.
“Here, on behalf of the 24th Army and all the troops in southern Sichuan, I urge the central government to allocate as soon as possible the more than 20 million military expenditures borrowed by our army for the North China War of Resistance. The specific expenditures and the pensions for the sacrificed soldiers that should be borne by the central government,
severance pay for veterans, injured soldiers
Regarding expenditures such as treatment expenses and placement expenses for disabled soldiers, the Political Department of our military will work with the Military Supplies Department to compile a list as soon as possible and submit it to the Central Military Commission. At that time, journalists are welcome to come and receive a copy of the report, so as to facilitate the authenticity and accuracy of our military’s expenditures.
Reasonable supervision.”
As soon as An Yi stopped speaking, all the reporters in the audience were stunned.
European and American reporters who were proficient in Chinese reacted quickly and immediately immersed themselves in writing excitedly, recording quickly. Each one of them hoped to report these two explosive news that were destined to shake up China's political and military circles and contained huge crises as soon as possible.
