Chapter Fifty-Eight: Pimping Everywhere
The third is here!
Five thousand words! The remaining 1,000 will be made up tomorrow!
That, it's the end of the month, don't hesitate if you still have a monthly pass! Expired Void Drops!
―――――― exports to the United States have increased significantly before the three provinces of East China, of which papermaking and textiles have squeezed into a part of the market share.
The paper industry is dominated by specialty paper, and Xia Jun has opened more than a dozen specialty paper manufacturing plants through the points in his hand, and the profits of these special papers are very high, and they still enter the US market smoothly under the blockage of tariffs. In terms of ordinary paper, it is also squeezed in, and under the premise of tariffs, although there is no advantage in cost, it is better than paper made in the United States in terms of quality.
The textile industry entered the U.S. market with cost-cost clothing, and because the garment factories in the three provinces of East China adopted the clothing designs given to them by Xia Jun, it created a fashion trend in the United States.
As for the steel, Xia Jun is mainly used to supply its own needs, the current production capacity is not too large, after the steel mill gets the funds, only to increase the production capacity to 300,000 tons of steel output, only enough for the three autonomous provinces and other provinces in China to meet the demand, exports have not yet been involved.
Large-scale steel exports will have to wait until the excavation of the large iron ore mine in Theo before the steel industry can get enough raw materials.
In terms of oil, the oil produced is also supplied to internal demand, and the surplus is stored and not exported. It is also necessary to wait until the Arabian Peninsula is exploited before entering the oil market.
In terms of farm products, the main export to the United States is canned food, all kinds of canned food have been developed in Fujian, not only all kinds of canned meat, but also all kinds of fruits, because of the export to the United States, the economic benefits have been greatly improved, cane sugar has also become the main force of exports, grain last year also because the output exceeded its own demand and exported a part, and its own reserves also part.
In terms of building materials, cement is strong, because China's cement is of high quality, so it has begun to be exported to various countries, and it has also hit the market in the United States, but because of tariffs, only those groups who have requirements for quality will choose to buy Chinese cement.
Bicycles have also begun to be exported to the United States, and sales are good in the United States, while motorcycles have not been exported for the time being, because the production is not large, and can only be supplied for internal needs.
In general, most of Xia Jun's layouts have not yet been launched, and the Yankees have not yet felt any industry survival crisis.
On the side of the three autonomous provinces of East China, there are still many commodities that have not reached the point where they can compete with American goods.
As soon as the zero tariff was launched, many factories immediately complained to the political axe. Because of zero tariffs, U.S. goods still showed relatively strong sales in the three autonomous provinces of East China.
Although many people do not buy foreign goods, not everyone does not buy them, and some people do not have such a firm position, although they also support domestic products, but because they are not rich, they choose cheaper American goods.
This is also expected by Xia Jun, for the urgent factories, Xia Jun will always provide them with more advanced equipment in the form of loans.
By May, Xia Jun's points had soared to 750 million, and there were enough points to provide technical support to enterprises, and at the same time, East China Bank also had enough funds to provide financial support to those factories.
At this time, in terms of layout, many industries have not yet broken out, and agriculture has not yet been completed, Xia Jun still needs to continue to support, and it is a victory to survive.
Li Shilin submitted an application for technical assistance to Xia Jun for a Fujian businessman, Liu Jinshan submitted an application for technical assistance to Xia Jun for a factory of the first series of Huishang merchants, and the technical application for a factory of the Ningbo Merchant Gang was submitted by Zhu Baosan on his behalf, and the application for technical assistance for the factory of the Longyou Merchant Gang was applied for by a leading businessman named Huang Ruisheng, and the Jiangxi merchant gang had not yet formed a mature business gang, but there were many businessmen in Jiangxi, and they mainly went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to submit applications, and then the Industrial and Commercial Bureau summarized them.
In just a few months, more than 600 factories of all sizes have been opened in the three provinces of East China, of which 30% belong to the three initially formed groups of East China, Zhongsheng and Huasheng, which account for 85% of the total capital, and the East China Group accounts for 55% of them.
Xia Jun himself has become a veritable capital giant, East China Group is his sole share, and he also participates with private capital in some industries.
Some of these shares are invested in equipment, and some are invested in funds by East China Bank. Some factories exchange equipment in the form of loans, or exchange funds in the form of loans.
In order to provide technical support to various factories, Xia Jun spent hundreds of millions of points in May to provide technical support to hundreds of factories, large and small.
Most businesses are willing to trade shares for equipment because there is basically no risk. Some exchange equipment with loans, in this way, Xia Jun collects money quickly, but in the long run, it is not as profitable as obtaining shares.
No matter what form it is, Xia Jun is supportive.
This is a crazy May, Xia Jun exchanged a large number of advanced equipment, basically an application was submitted, Xia Jun gave the equipment, no difference!
Of course, there are some of these capitals that are not good at management, but this is not too risky for Xia Jun, anyway, the equipment is still there, and if it goes bankrupt, take back the equipment, and then change the operator.
U.S. goods, such as those in the three provinces of East China, have the upper hand in many areas, but in some areas, U.S. goods are difficult to move forward.
As a result, the profits of the United States in China began to rise, especially in the three provinces of East China, which were sympathetic to the people's feelings, basically did not impose heavy taxes and taxes, and the financial resources of the people increased greatly, so that the market expanded.
However, on the other hand, the superior products of the three autonomous provinces of East China have also entered the United States, and those that have already achieved advantages have begun to occupy an absolute market competitive advantage under the zero-tariff policy.
As for how much the market deficit is, there is no data yet, but in terms of single shipments, the East China Autonomous Political Axe is at a disadvantage, but although there are many American goods, a large part of them cannot be sold!
Faced with such a dilemma, many American businesses still retreated.
…… Since the newspaper report on the East China Aviation School, a number of students from various provinces in China have dropped out of school to join the East China Aviation School.
Xia Jun's impact that day deeply touched many young people in worried countries, and the number of cadets of East China Aviation School soon reached 500.
Tao Chengzhang came to Xia Jun and said to Xia Jun: "Chairman of the Committee, the current employment situation is very grim, and there is basically a shortage of people. ”
"There is a shortage of teachers in schools, there is a shortage of technicians in factories, there is a shortage of police in administration, and the army needs student soldiers. I think we should increase the subsidies for middle school and college students, dig up cultural people from other provinces to the three provinces in East China, and mobilize overseas students to return to China to participate in the construction, so as to solve the current dilemma. Tao Chengzhang suggested to Xia Jun.
Recently, as many as 30 technical schools have been opened in the three provinces of East China, and more than 100 training courses have been set up by each factory itself.
However, due to the explosive development, there is a shortage of technicians.
Many cultural people have been absorbed into this group, and the mechanics are currently employing a large number of foreigners, but it is still possible to solve the contradictions.
However, the army is simply a big tiger, scouts, artillery, aviation, mortars, sailors, a large number of people need culture, and the number of educated young people who have been eaten by the army has reached tens of thousands, so that Tao Chengzhang really can't bear it, which really hurts the vitality of the education industry!
Xia Jun is also deeply worried about this, which is a huge contradiction in the development of education.
"Then mention it! A special propaganda team will be set up. Xia Jun said to Tao Chengzhang and agreed with Tao Chengzhang's suggestion, "Middle school students come to study in the three provinces of East China, with a subsidy of 1.5 yuan, and college students come to study in the three provinces of East China, with a subsidy of 2.5 yuan per month." ”
This subsidy is only 0.5 yuan higher than before, but free room and board, but much more than the previous subsidy, the previous subsidy was intended to solve the problem of room and board for students, but the cost of room and board was waived before, so the subsidy was also cancelled. Now these subsidies are equivalent to pocket money for students, a lot of pocket money.
"In this way, we will definitely be able to dig up students from other provinces." Tao Chengzhang was approved by Xia Jun, and his confidence suddenly soared.
"Lao Tao, when publicizing, we should not only publicize to students and teachers, but also to their parents and relatives, so as to achieve the best results." Xia Jun added to Tao Chengzhang, "In addition, we will waive the travel expenses for them, and after the obstacles of each joint are removed, I don't believe that we have no one." ”
Tao Chengzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded: "What the chairman said is extremely true. ”
"However, as for the technical committee, you should be more careful, and it is better to send personnel to overseas for internships to solve the current problem of insufficient personnel."
"I know, I know, Lao Tao, don't worry, the teachers will definitely leave you the best." Xia Jun hurriedly relieved him. After getting Xia Jun's promise, Tao Chengzhang left Xia Jun's office satisfied.
Tao Chengzhang left the office, Xia Jun picked up the phone and called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, instructing Zhu Xiaocheng to organize thousands of workers to go to factories in Britain, the United States, France and Germany for internships.
After the outbreak of World War I, Xia Jun will also send a large number of workers abroad, and at that time, the Entente will have to ask his grandfather to buy his things! What's the point of sending someone to their factory for an internship?
…… The recruitment of cultural personnel from other provinces was soon launched, and notices were posted in the East China Commercial Offices in the provinces within a few days.
All middle school students and college students who go to study in the three provinces of East China have extremely high subsidies, not only free of board and lodging, but also money to subsidize their families.
Even those who are out of school are given high treatment.
As long as you enter the training course, the monthly salary is absolutely indispensable to six yuan per month, due to the vigorous development of foreign trade in the East China Autonomous Government, quickly earned capital from the markets of various countries, coupled with the scarcity of cultural people, the monthly salary of those skilled workers who need culture to be competent will definitely not be less than five yuan.
Six yuan, at most, is three or four hundred yuan in later generations, but in this era, it can be regarded as a good treatment, for those cultural people who have no fame, many people can't even reach such a basic treatment.
Within a few days, the notice posted by the merchant hall changed again.
Because not long ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the East China Autonomous Government issued a new law, as long as people with basic culture immigrate to the three provinces of East China, they can be allocated a set of housing for free, and before they find a job, the political axe will be rationed with living materials.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs dared to introduce such a bill because Xia Jun mobilized the members of the Industrialists' Club to agree on the housing part of the workers' welfare plan.
In the future, the Ministry of Construction will build a large number of affordable housing in various cities, and these affordable housing will be subscribed by factories for workers, and the Ministry of Construction will sell them to factories at cost price.
These affordable housing will be of relatively uniform specifications, and each worker can only have one set.
For example, if a worker works in this factory, he or she can live in the affordable housing near the factory, and if the worker changes jobs, he or she will be relocated to the affordable housing in another factory, and the original affordable housing will be transferred to another factory.
Workers nominally enjoy the property rights of affordable housing, but the right to buy and sell is in the hands of the factory, and the buyers are limited to the enterprise, which buys it and allocates it to the workers to live in. When the workers retire, they can choose a new set of affordable housing, and after their death, they will take it back.
The population of this era is far less than that of later generations, and Xia Jun pays more attention to urban planning, the streets are generally planned to be more spacious, and in the future, cars will definitely be popularized in large numbers, as long as there is good transportation, the distance in the suburbs is nothing, and it takes a long time to commute by car.
What's more, if the land is privately owned now, and there is a large number of affordable housing, the future housing prices will definitely not be high, and then people will build a large number of their own houses, and even build a large number of villas in the suburbs, and the housing problem will not be a topic for people to worry about.
The bill issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs has not yet been implemented with new houses, so it can only be dealt with by old houses first, but the Ministry of Construction has already received 10 million yuan to build some affordable housing in various places first.
Soon, the provincial commercial offices organized a large number of temporary propaganda personnel, some of whom posted small advertisements everywhere, and some went deep into the towns and villages to carry out propaganda.
The task of propaganda in schools was entrusted to the 'regular troops' of the Propaganda Department, and the personnel of these Propaganda Propaganda Department were all eloquent and good-looking, which could easily arouse a sense of trust.
Propaganda personnel from all over the country came out in all directions and launched a vigorous pimping operation!
…… In a private middle school in Hubei, a young man wearing Hanfu and holding a loudspeaker was standing on the school ground, and said to the students below: "Teachers, students, I am very happy to meet you, first of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Zhang Zhengjie, I am also from Hubei, and I am also a member of the Propaganda Department of the three provinces of East China. ”
The teachers and students below looked at a young man wearing Hanfu and a hair crown on his head, and everyone looked at him seriously and listened to the story he had to tell.
"Two years ago, I was a middle school student like everyone else, but I was about to graduate and go to university. But my family is very poor, with only two acres of land, but they have to support me to go to secondary school, and the high tuition fees have made my parents work hard and grow old. Because of my family background, I hesitated to go to college, and my parents told me to go to school with peace of mind, and I didn't have to worry about family affairs, but I knew that if I went to school, my parents would be more tired. At that time, I was planning to give up my studies and find a job to support my parents.
But at this time, there were rumors that I would go to university in Fujian, where tuition was free, and the school could give students subsidies every month, but it was unknown who said it, and I couldn't find anyone to recommend it. Many students thought this was a lie, and at that time, the decaying Manchu dynasty was still ruling China, and who would believe that a school would subsidize its students?
I didn't believe it was true at the time, but my mother found out about it and sewed me a new pair of mille-feuille shoes overnight and told me to go to Jian'an to continue my studies.
So I had little hope, borrowed money from my relatives and went on the road, and along the way I was robbed twice by bandits and robbed me of all my dry food, but fortunately I met a group of merchants who were going to Fujian on the way, and they took me to Jian'an. When I arrived in Jian'an, I burst into tears of emotion because I saw a university there and there really was a university there.
And when I went in, I found out that as rumored out, the university not only exempted students from tuition, but also gave students subsidies.
Although there are nearly 8,000 teachers and students in East China University, when I arrived at East China University, there were only more than 300 people, and the school was also simple at that time, but I came into contact with advanced teaching equipment there, and we had complete laboratories for each major in science and engineering. At that time, the East China Political Axe was still a security regiment.
Xia Jun, the current governor of the three provinces of East China, is our principal and the leader of the security corps, and he said to us at that time: "If we want to revive China, we must first revive nationalism, and he gave each of us a Hanfu, which is the kind I wear, and encouraged us to grow long hair and restore our Han clothes." In addition, he also said that in addition to restoring the national ideology and rejuvenating the Chinese nation, we must also work hard to develop education and set up industries, and whether it is education to save the country or industry to save the country, it is equally important, and we must not leave it behind. ”
"I remember that when I went there, there was only one paper mill and one textile factory in Jian'an, but then, under the leadership of the president, my college classmates and I successively established steel mills, cement factories, military factories, canneries, cigarette factories, lighter factories, fertilizer factories and other factories. After that, the principal led the security regiment to defeat the Qing army, and we achieved autonomy in northwest Fujian, and since then, whether it is education or industry, we have grown step by step under the leadership of the principal.
On October 10, 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and after that, the Republic of China was established, and our Han nation stood up again. However, the security regiment, which was only developed in Jian'an Township, has built thousands of primary schools, hundreds of middle schools, and more than 600 factories, accounting for more than 70% of the number of factories in China. Our industrial products are exported to countries all over the world, and our factories have been able to build the world's most advanced aircraft...... Students, this is the story I want to tell.
Just a week ago, the Ministry of Education of the East China Autonomous Government issued a new policy, which will give a subsidy of 1.5 yuan to all middle school students from other provinces to East China, and 2 yuan to college students studying in East China, and also exempt from accommodation fees.
At the beginning, although we were the first batch of students to go to East China University, although we received such subsidies, we still had to be responsible for the food.
Students, what are you waiting for?
Rejuvenating China is not about shouting slogans or engaging in demonstrations. Only the combination of national ideology, only education, and only industry can revitalize China within it.
In today's China, only the East China political axe can do it.
Let's go to the three autonomous provinces of East China together, go to the school there to be a teacher, go to the factory there to be an engineer, and strive to put what we have learned into practice, and strive to make our China stronger. ”
There was a round of applause below.
The principal of this private middle school was touched on the spot and decided to move the whole school to the three autonomous provinces of East China on the same day......
