Chapter 660 "The Great Industrial Age"!

At this moment, the map of China hanging in front of Wang Hengyue has some decency.

Mongolia is still there, in fact, since the Beiyang government, Mongolia has been firmly nailed to China's territory. On the map of Lake Baikal in China, Jiangdong 64tun has also returned to the map of China. And China's influence continues to extend throughout Siberia

In Russia, the White Guards fought the Russian Red Army, the Russian Red Army fought the White Guards, and the civil war did not seem to stop in the last few years or more than ten years.

The arrival of winter helped the Bolsheviks a great favor, and the invincible squadron stopped attacking. They are waiting for the cruel winter to pass with a steady stream of winter supplies that have been delivered from China before

With the truce of the Russian War, the "resolution" of the friction between China and Japan, and the successive recovery of Qingdao, Vladivostok, Jiangdong 64tun and other places, the Far East at least looks peaceful on the surface.

The Chinese are focusing on domestic construction, while the Japanese are a little worried.

Since 1920 AD, the 9th year of the Republic of China, and the 9th year of Taisho in Japan, Japan has never been peaceful since the "rice riots".

In 1920 alone, more than 200 political groups were formed, either openly or covertly.

By 1921, this had reached a **.

These political groups in Japan have been constantly suppressed by the Japanese government, but they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In particular, political organizations with increasing scale, influence, and influence, such as the "Japan Progressive Organization Party," the "Endeavor Society," and the "Koeisha," have caused the Japanese government even more headaches.

These groups are not simply promoting their own political opinions, but while constantly agitating the Japanese people, some groups have taken the most direct approach:

Violent!

They attacked Japanese government departments everywhere, assassinated government officials, and even set off a number of small uprisings in one place, which were brutally suppressed at the first sign of the uprising, but this undoubtedly worried the Japanese government.

God knows when a nationwide riot bigger than the "rice riots" will come

In Taiwan, Northeast China, and North Korea, the Japanese government is also not worried.

There was obviously a lot of unrest among the people in Taiwan, and some underground resistance organizations began to be formed and became active. In the Japanese-controlled areas of northeastern China, a large number of bearded "guerrillas" appeared; In Korea, there were even many uprisings, and opposition to Japan began to quietly appear in the upper echelons of Korea

History is always like this, one trades and the other grows.

In the past, Japan suppressed China to the core, but now this situation is quietly changing. China is developing at a high speed and is gaining a greater voice in the Far East and in the whole of Shijie.

In January 1921, a U.S. business delegation visited China.

From January to February, during the month-long inspection and negotiation, China and the United States continued to sign more than 300 business cooperation agreements.

U.S. President Warren G. Harding expressed his appreciation and excitement for the success of the U.S.-China business talks, as well as his vision for the future of U.S.-China relations.

At the same time, Harding also called Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, "China's greatest leader in the past 1,000 years"!

It's a bit surprising that this title came out of the mouth of an American president.

However, Wang Hengyue didn't take this title too seriously, and he invested a lot in Harding. In the capacity of the American company "Stewyn Pan American Oil Company" to lease the US Navy's No. 3 oil field, Wang Hengyue spent nearly $200,000 before and after.

Of course, the rewards of successfully leasing the U.S. Navy's No. 3 oil field are much more than that...

Harding, the peculiar president of the United States, dares to accept any kind of money, which is obviously one of the rare presidents of the United States!

China and the United States maintain close alliances, as do Wang Hengyue and Harding. Although part of this "intimacy" is based on money

While having a good relationship with Harding, Wang Hengyue also strangely ordered to communicate with US Vice President Calvin. Coolidge had a good relationship and helped him with some of his personal problems.

Does the president of the Republic of China think that Coolidge also has the possibility of becoming the president of the United States?

God knows. In short, it is difficult for anyone to guess what the president of the Republic of China is thinking.

The United States and China are very close, and at the same time they are competing with Britain for maritime supremacy, so Britain has to think more about its own interests.

China cooperates with Britain in many ways, especially in naval shipbuilding. In the 1920-1923 cooperation agreement between China and Britain alone, China ordered nine warships of different types from Britain and hired a large number of engineers.

Danshi: This is clearly not enough

Britain and Japan were allies before, and now they can only continue to maintain an alliance in front of them. But how to extract greater benefits from China is something that the British have to ponder.

Just after the New Year of 1921, the Chinese government continued to encourage investment, allowing capitalists to operate freely, and at the same time began to implement trade protection policies. It also introduced special protection for chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, and declared that the government would not intervene in private enterprises.

And this also allowed China to quietly enter the "industrial boom period of the 20s"

During this period, the Chinese government, mainly their president, Wang Hengyue, relied on the abundant funds accumulated over the years to continuously open factories, update production equipment, expand production scale, and adopt new technologies to increase the scale of factory production.

Especially in new technologies, Wang Hengyue has significantly increased investment.

In 1921 alone, Wang Hengyue's research funds for new technologies reached 10 million, and such investment continued to increase.

Enterprises use a variety of methods to expand advertising and buy on credit to stimulate the consumption of automobiles, housing and large daily necessities.

In the construction industry, in 1918 and 1919, China's total output value was only 100 million US dollars, or about 200 million Chinese yuan. But since 1920, it has entered a period of rapid development, reaching 1.7 billion US dollars, or about 3.4 billion Chinese dollars.

By 1921, this development could not be stopped. This year, China's construction industry was worth US$3.9 billion, or about 7.8 billion Chinese dollars.

But compared with the United States, there is still a big gap. In the same year, the U.S. construction industry was worth $12.8 billion.

However, for Wang Hengyue, he is not worried about these at all, in his opinion, as long as he concentrates on development and insists on following this path, China will soon catch up with the United States.

The development of the automotive industry is surprising.

Since Wang Hengyue directly controlled "General Motors" and "Chevrolet Motor Company", this made a qualitative leap forward in China's automobile industry.

In 1921, China's car ownership surged to 11.6 million, and continues to expand rapidly. Not only that, 45% of the automobiles in the United States are produced by the "General Motors Company" and the "Chevrolet Motor Company" controlled by Wang Hengyue.

This also means that Americans' money continues to enter Wang Hengyue's pocket

Negotiations in the Middle East are also in full swing, and the two British companies that the Rothschilds helped Wang Hengyue buy began negotiations on "mineral exploration" in the Middle East and proposed a 99-year exploration agreement. …,

For this reason, once the negotiation is successful, Wang Hengyue will pay a large amount of money, but compared with the black gold buried in the Middle East, such a payment is too insignificant.

In June 1921, the two "British companies" announced their merger into the "British Yad Oil Company", and in the same month completed negotiations with the Saud family. Saudi Arabia has signed a 99-year oil exploration agreement.

In this agreement, the "Great British Yad Oil Company" will be handed over annually to Ibn Yamada. Saudi Arabia has a gradually increasing lease fee, and at the same time has all the oil exploration rights, including Dammam and other places!

"Brition and Yard Oil" did not have a single competitor, because all Shijie's oil companies thought they were crazy.

No oil company thinks there will be even a drop of oil in the Middle East, and the discovery of oil in the Middle East is simply the wildest fantasy.

Even the British government kindly reminded the "British Yade Oil Company" that it wanted to explore oil in the Middle East, which was completely impossible, and the "British Yade Oil Company" would be dragged out of bankruptcy because of this.

And when President Wang Hengyue got the news, he couldn't help but cheer.

It's finally theirs, and the oil that was buried in the ground, quietly waiting for humans to extract it, now belongs to you!

Oil, the lifeblood of a country, will support a huge and powerful empire!

Perhaps in the first few years, he will get nothing, he will invest a lot of money in vain, and the "Great Britain Yade Oil Company" owned by him will become the object of ridicule of everyone.

But when his own oil well erupts, the whole shijie will be dumbfounded!

If you grasp the oil, you will choke the throat of fate

Wang Hengyue thanked God for bringing him to this era, and Wang Hengyue was even more grateful for allowing him to do so many things in this era.

All the hard work that has been put in before has now paid off, although there will be twists and turns on the road ahead.

But I've experienced so much before, what are you worried about, and what are you afraid of? Wang Hengyue stood at the window, and China outside the window was thriving, for him and the whole country:

The era of great industry has begun!
