Chapter 22: Rich and Good (2)
Planning is planning, reality is reality, and there is still a long way to go to achieve the grand goal envisaged.
Now the United Group is still a blank sheet of paper except for the normal operation of the United Motorcycle established by relying on the old plant: United Power, which has the fastest progress, is still building a standardized plant, United Chemical and United Shipbuilding have just started infrastructure construction, and United Iron and Steel has determined the development plot, and even the property rights delivery procedures have not yet been seen - this is because of Contini's special identity, strong background, and the joint speed of the green light all the way, and it is really necessary to take it slowly according to the Italian temperament, but I am afraid that the land price and property rights can be delayed for a long time.
Antonio and he have calculated: it will be 2-3 years from the output of these industries, and at most 5-6 years, and the whole is still in a waste to be rebuilt. In the case of United Steel, for example, the first phase of Contini's target is 300,000 tons, which is equivalent to a quarter of Italy's current output, which also means adding at least a quarter of the manpower, which is easy for ordinary workers to find, and technicians and engineers will have to worry a lot about it, and maybe they will have to poach people from the north.
In order to curry favor with the financiers and to alleviate the internal pressure after the Ruhr crisis in Germany, Hitler and Goering absorbed more than 500 architects, roads, bridges, and municipal engineers from within Germany.
At the end of last year, the joint construction was only attached to the construction service team of the United Motorcycle, but there were more than 200 people, only 10 months, the number of people expanded from 200 to more than 5,000 people, originally for the Ministry of Communications to provide engineering services, the level of construction or engineering companies are dozens, large and small, by September has basically been absorbed by the joint building, do not accept the merger and there is no way out, Contini opened a third higher wages for workers, half of the engineers and technicians, and the project is operating at full capacity, Fools know which one to choose, and if they don't merge, they will wait for the entire company to be hollowed out. Besides, the old Chiano is in charge of the Ministry of Communications, and the minister's son and assistant minister come forward to dignitaries, so everyone doesn't have to happily offer them with their hands in the end, otherwise do you want to take over the project of the Ministry of Communications in the future?
As for the bag company that has no strength and subcontracted layer by layer, I'm sorry, the door of the Ministry of Communications will no longer be open to you - in the future, it is obvious that the joint construction will contract projects on a large scale, and what will the bag company do with a layer of oil and water?
The United Group's large-scale construction work effectively stimulated the recovery of the Italian construction industry, and a large number of workers and building materials were awakened from various dormant fields and put into construction. The three northern cities of Turin, Milan and Genoa have a total of 17 large and small cement factories, which were originally barely surviving, but after the sudden rise of the United Group, these cement factories were all alive and kicking overnight, and all the kilns in three shifts of full production could not meet the huge demand for cement and concrete of the United Group - roads, factories, infrastructure, workers' new villages, aviation towns and other fields are using a large amount of cement to open the way, In 1923 the entire Union consumed more than a third of the cement consumed in northern Italy.
Cement this low-tech product Contini is disdainful to invest, and is too lazy to spend foreign exchange imports, as long as the quality of qualified production can be supplied, he is all internal procurement, even the price is a little more expensive also admitted, this idea has effectively achieved these private bosses, in order to show loyalty to the United Group and the support of President Contini, large and small private bosses regardless of whether they can understand or not, the office is full of "Youth Daily" plus the standard configuration of the United Radio, and the factory has to buy 1-2 United motorcycles, At least one of them has to be a commemorative edition or a limited edition, and in addition, the children of their secondary and higher education institutions are all members of the Youth Alliance, and they are the ones who are extraordinarily active, and whoever dares to say a bad word about the Youth Alliance and the president, they will not be the first to agree.
The bosses of other building materials industry are also almost this virtue, brick and tile factories, floor factories, lime factories, paint factories and a bunch of companies are looking up to the orders of the United Group, and the president has a little leakage between his fingers is enough for them to eat, in addition to the relatively high quality requirements, the United Group is the best customer they have ever seen: the price is not ruthless, the settlement has never been postponed in advance, and even the procurement staff do not dare to eat and take the card. In fact, it's not that no one eats and takes the card, but Contini uses the dark ones to monitor internally, and if he makes a mistake, not only is the high-paying job gone, but even the swallowed one has to be completely spit out, as for going through the judicial channel, it would be even better, the police system and the court system all provide one-stop service, ensuring that the severity is fast, and you can't even find a place to appeal, so far no one dares to provoke this young man.
Contini knows that a certain country has a good summary of one sentence: real estate is linked to 17 upstream and downstream industries, with housing as the key link, infrastructure as the starting point, and a pull is good! If it doesn't work, double it!
The most reserved of these is probably the steel industry bosses, but Contini doesn't want to get used to them: United Steel must be launched, except for Italy, Belgium, Germany and even France, the steel industry is waiting to be fed, and there is only one result of disobeying the baton of the United Group - losing orders!
And if you annoy this young man, it is not only the matter of losing the orders of the United Group, but also the orders of the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will not be able to keep them. In the past, it was okay not to take this assistant seriously, but now that the title of youth leader is out of the cage, as soon as the news of accompanying Ida for a summer vacation is released, who dares not to take these titles seriously? If it weren't for Contini's own postponement, I am afraid that the undocumented title of assistant to the prime minister would be about to be released.
Only such a system, such a force can be worthy of the speed of the United Forces, when the outside world is shocked that the "United House" is blooming all over Italy at the rate of one per month, they only think of the strong financial resources and strength behind the United Group, but they will subconsciously ignore the lethality of the young president, he has a famous sentence when speaking at the internal management: "When I see the free and loose Italians, I can't wait to whip them forward!" If I find out, no matter who it is, no matter how high the rank, it is destined to have only one end - fire! ”
The speed of unity, in turn, provided a footnote to Mussolini's philosophy of governance: you see, any Italian miracle can be created with the right goals, with the guidance of the fascist spirit, with the spirit of unity, indomitable spirit, and the spirit of struggle. The combined speed tells us that Italy is no worse than any of the great powers!
Ps: Last time, a reader said that he wanted to see me write about the Ming Dynasty, and I was really not familiar with this paragraph, but I can recommend a copy of "Struggle in the Late Ming Dynasty" to you, and interested readers may wish to take a look......
