Chapter 122: Snaring
The turbulent political situation in the Republic of China inevitably affected the economic development, which was also one of the important reasons why the people were struggling to make a living in the warlord era. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing, Liang Shiyi, Xiong Xiling, and Zhou Xuexi are all typical examples of advocating "collusion between officials and businessmen", and they are not afraid of regime changes. After the early propaganda and agitation, Zhou Xuexi also sent people to Fengtian to investigate, asserting that both Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine are rich in reserves; In terms of mining difficulty or input cost, it was a good choice for investment, so I decided to move in.
According to Zhang Hanqing's idea, at this stage, it is time to concentrate on expanding production to compete with Japan's related enterprises in Northeast China, so the stall should not be spread too big, and the strength should be concentrated. How to ensure that the investment of the bigwigs in Beijing can be rewarded to attract more visitors, and how to effectively integrate and share the resources of Fengtian and the Northeast in the future, Zhang Hanqing needs a full-time candidate to lead a team to do this.
Yes, team. Zhang Hanqing used to be a cadre of the middle management level of the enterprise and knew the importance of a one-person team. A good management system is effective for enterprises, stable for the government, and guaranteed for the military. He has always been ashamed of the performance of the Northeast Army on the night of 918: the commander picks up girls in Beijing (in fact, he quits smoking), the deputy commander goes to the funeral, and the chief of staff is at a loss in the face of the Japanese army's provocation (initial stage), so that a temptation turns into a full-scale rout, and tragedy is all around him.
Zhang Hanqing can come up with ideas, but he doesn't have the energy to do such a slow and painstaking work, but he is not at ease when he lets go of others---- which is the basis for the future of the relationship and his own politics. In the era of the Republic of China, who is both capable and trustworthy?
Maudehui can be counted as one. This is his best friend, until Zhang Xueliang was born in Taiwan, he was one of the few frequent visitors to his seat. Moreover, Lao Mo has been engaged in many professions in his life, such as police chief, county magistrate, director of the provincial government and property department (SASAC), official bank number supervisor (bank supervisor), deputy minister and acting minister of agriculture and commerce, member of the Northeast Foreign Affairs, Security, and Political Affairs Joint Committee, chairman and supervisor of the railway company of the three eastern provinces, chairman of the Chinese National Political Council, and the highest Taiwan's "President of the Chinese Examination Institute" for 12 years.
Such a talent has extraordinary insight and should be the best candidate for the director of the Fengtian "China Merchants Bureau" set up by himself. At this time, Mo Dehui had just been transferred from the governor of Shuangshan County to the director of the Jilin Government and Property Department, and the supervisor of the official silver number for one year. In this year, the revenue of Jilin Provincial Treasury has increased, and business has become increasingly prosperous. Will such talents be used for their own use? Zhang Hanqing didn't dare to pack tickets. Jilin overseer Meng Enyuan and his father Zhang Zuolin have always been at odds, will he let himself dig into his corner?
Being able to rectify the coal and iron resources of the industrial pillar and the most effective investment promotion work is an important foundation for whether the Feng Department can leap forward, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin discussed, Zhang Zuolin "snapped" and patted his thigh, "It's them!" ”
At this time, the economic situation in Fengtian was very bad: the three eastern provinces were in financial disorder, the paper money was complicated, and it was especially affected by the European war. Zhang Zuolin instructed the printing and distribution of banknotes on the one hand, and confiscated private posts on the other, but the effect was not great, and the run on Fengtian small foreign bills became increasingly serious. The economy is closely related to the military, and without money, where will military spending come from? So in this matter, I heard that with these people and things, there is a solution, and Zhang Zuolin unconditionally supports Zhang Hanqing.
He believes that things are man-made.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and Zhang Hanqing visited Mo Dehui empty-handed.
Mo Dehui's first reaction to such a young man to encourage him to change jobs was surprise, and his second reaction was surprise, he didn't know what to say or do.
He is equivalent to the president of a branch of the People's Bank of China, and even the level is far greater than this, Zhang Hanqing is just a young man, and even the fluff at the corners of his mouth has not faded. If he wants to dig up his past, what kind of official position can he give himself? It is undeniable that Zhang Hanqing has the shadow of Zhang Zuolin behind him, otherwise would this doll have the courage to talk to himself about such an important person?
But Zhang Hanqing bluntly said that it was his own meaning, and bluntly expressed his determination to recruit talents:
"Mr. Mo, I can't hide it, it's my intention to invite Mr. to Fengtian, my father still can't believe that I can invite Mr. Mo, but he definitely has an attitude of being happy to see it happen. Now that Mukden is separating the military from the government, the military will be abandoned from the administration, and the governance of the people's livelihood and the development of the economy are the right time to employ people. My father and I are well aware of my husband's abilities, and I hope that you can go out to help my father. ”
Mo Dehui also knows Zhang Zuolin's courage, and also thinks that he is a personal masterpiece, but he is a little hesitant, after all, a ready-made official property director and supervisor of the official silver account is always more appropriate than an unknown position---- I don't know what kind of position Zhang Zuolin will give him? The general office of Fengtian Guanyin is much larger than that of Jilin, if this position is considered a promotion, you might as well consider one or two.
However, Zhang Hanqing gave a new position: director of the Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau, which inevitably makes people think.
Zhang Hanqing observed his words and knew that this new term scared him, so he couldn't help but explain: "Mr. must have concerns about this position." Truth be told, it's something I came up with.
We are rich in coal and iron in Mukden and even in the northeast, and there are countless arable lands in the whole country and even the world, and our population is also quite large, but why are we always poor? Of course, there are factors left over from history: the rampant influence of Japan and Russia, the influence of the former Qing Dynasty's policy of ignoring the people, and the country's weakness led to limited support for the Northeast... But the reality is that no matter how much we complain, we can't change this fact.
My father and I both believe that the only thing that can change the status quo is ourselves. Put down your body and ask all walks of life to help, those who have money will pay, and those who have technology will pay for technology. We initially plan to set up several large-scale coal and iron mines and various enterprises in Fengtian, fully tap the private capital, and make Fengtian condense into a rope. The key to this is to find a good person who understands both administration and finance, and has a strong network, and Mr. Mo is the best choice.
This China Merchants Bureau is directly subordinate to the Fengtian Patrol Envoy, and all the factories and mines built in Fengtian must be interrogated and arranged by the gentleman. The direct purpose of my father's reform in Mukden was to coordinate the administrative and economic affairs that had been interfered with by the army and police, so that he could reduce the constraints after his assumption of office. I know that Mr. has always had great ambitions, and this director of China Merchants is a great opportunity to realize his ambitions. is for the sake of the people of Li to live a good life, and Mr. should also go out. ”
Following Liu Bei's example of the three visits to the thatched house, Zhang Hanqing repeatedly persuaded Mo Dehui, and explained to him his future fiscal policies, industrial development prospects, and the economic methods he was implementing in Fengtian and Northeast China. The feasible plan and bright prospects made Mo Dehui feel that the take-off of Fengtian's economy was just around the corner, and the good days of the people of Fengtian were coming. As the future political elite that the young marshal "favors" (of course, Zhang Hanqing's words), he has a kind of acquaintance who dies for his confidant.
Mo Dehui is a man of temperament, how can he be called Zhang Hanqing's thirst for talent? Fengtian's population and economic scale are more than twice that of Jilin, and it is of course better to be able to be looked down upon by Zhang Zuolin than to be in Jilin. The key is that he also believes that Zhang Zuolin is not a thing in the pool, and instead of getting closer to him in the future, he is a hero to go down the slope now.
However, if Meng Enyuan knew that he was changing jobs, it would inevitably cause trouble, so Mo Dehui remained quiet, resigned due to illness, refused Meng Enyuan's repeated promises to retain and retain his position, and returned home to recuperate from his "illness". Of course, he is also a man of good professional ethics, and before that, everything in office was accounted for in an orderly manner.
Less than two weeks after returning home, "just at this time" Fengtian's newly established "China Merchants Bureau" recruited talents from the Northeast, and Mo Dehui participated in the audition with the mentality of "giving it a try" and won it! and his illness was not cured. It was only at this time that Meng Enyuan understood that his economic arm was poached by Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin is undoubtedly employed. Mo Dehui became the director of the China Merchants Bureau, and his authority was unmatched for a while: this new official position had full control over the right to use commercial capital inside and outside the province, industrial planning, the follow-up of supporting facilities such as transportation and electricity, and part of the financial power. In a word, Mo Dehui can be called the vice governor in charge of commercial economy and finance.
He is indeed capable, not only strictly supervising the capital introduced by Zhang Hanqing and making it use in large quantities for the construction of coal and iron mines, but also opening the door to ensure their smooth and rapid production. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing's original intention was also to use the investment of these people as a signboard for Fengtian to attract investment, so after the Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine were vigorously produced and made a lot of money, businessmen from Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang Dynasty saw the opportunity to make money and trust the Fengtian Provincial Government.
The prototype of the construction of Northeast China was opened.
Fengtian and the Northeast are rich in resources, but they can't make money with their rich belongings, and they have to attract foreign investment, which is like begging for food with a golden rice bowl, which is really unpleasant. However, these mineral deposits have attracted covetousness from all sides: the Japanese can open mines, the governors of the provinces can open mines, the bigwigs of the central government can send people to open mines, and even some rich owners in the country can buy a piece of land to open mines, which is too arbitrary!
Another consequence of disorderly mining is that there are too many minerals, and soon there is not enough capacity in the province. In order to recoup their funds more quickly, miners began to dump minerals at low prices---- which were easy to mine and inexpensive. If this situation does not change, vicious competition will be formed, which will affect the interests of new mines, especially the newly built Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine.
The mine owners are so rich, but Zhang Zuolin has no money in his hands, and this situation needs to change.
