Chapter 2 Demolition and plunder
Today's third more is presented, calling for everyone's recommendation votes for firepower support, of course, it would be better to have collections and rewards.

Snooker made a series of decisions according to the requirements of his boss Zhang Meng, the most important of which was not only not to reduce production, but to work overtime to produce steel on a large scale, as a result, the price of steel fell to the price of cabbage, tens of millions of tons of steel were unsalable, and soon Boliheng Iron and Steel Company was collapsed, and then he began to sell the company's property.
At this time, Zhang Meng, on behalf of the newly established Datang Heavy Industry Group of the Tang Empire, negotiated the acquisition of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company represented by snooker, and naturally the transaction was made at the lowest price.
Since snooker is Zhang Meng's person, this negotiation that seems to be a bargaining between Datang Heavy Industry and Boliheng Iron and Steel Company on the surface is actually just an internal show.
In the end, Datang Heavy Industries bought the entire Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, which had a market value of up to $2.3 billion, at a price of 22 million US dollars, which became the most cost-effective acquisition case in the early 20th century.
For Zhang Meng, he doesn't need all the things of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company. Because the Tang Empire was a country with no land resources, it was impossible for Zhang Meng to develop resource-extracting heavy industry like other countries, so he decided to focus on the construction of the heavy industry of the Tang Empire with machinery manufacturing and machining.
In this way, some mines, iron ore plants, coal mines and other factories of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company are not needed. As the economic crisis will intensify, the raw materials of bulk heavy industries such as iron ore, coal mines, and steel will become cheaper and cheaper in the future, so Zhang Meng will not start producing steel for at least three years, let alone digging iron ore and coal mines.
However, the industrial construction of the Tang Empire still had to be carried out in the same way. After Datang Heavy Industries acquired Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, it immediately dismantled all the equipment of its core factories and transported them to the industrial park of Datang Empire, and reorganized the production workshop of Datang Heavy Industries. All of Boliheng Steel's JISHU patents, as well as the elite members of the development team at the Iron & Steel R&D Center in Pennsylvania, will also be relocated to live in the Tang Empire.
Facing demolition include 25 core factories and research centers, including the Bird Point Plant, Port Burns Rolling Mill, Boliheng Iron and Steel Plant, Boliheng Building Profile Factory, Pennsylvania Steel Jishu R&D Center, Dillith Shipyard, Boliheng Construction Machinery Factory, and Burns Power Plant.
The machinery and equipment of these factories will be dismantled and then transported to the Yanjing Industrial Zone of the Tang Empire for use as a subordinate factory of Datang Heavy Industries. The core Jishu personnel of these factories will be arranged to go to Datang Empire with double salaries, and will be responsible for the completion and commissioning of these equipment, as well as the training of Datang Heavy Industries' workers. In the future, if they are willing to stay in the Tang Empire, they will be given the same treatment as the people, and if they are not, they will be sent back to the United States.
Of course, there is a mountain of tens of millions of tons of steel, which is urgently needed for the large-scale urban construction of the Tang Empire, and even if Datang Heavy Industries does not start producing steel in the next three years, these steels are enough to meet the needs of the Tang Empire's various military and civilian industrial construction.
The tens of millions of tons of steel were transferred to Datang Heavy Industries at a scrap price of $0.5 per ton, and the reason Snooker gave the board of directors was that the steel could not be sold for three years, and the annual maintenance cost in the warehouse alone was more than millions of dollars.
Less than a month after Datang Heavy Industries acquired Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, Zhang Meng sold off unwanted iron ore factories, coal mines and other factories, and some real estate, bonds and stocks owned by Boliheng Iron and Steel were also transferred to others, and he actually got more than 15 million US dollars.
In this way, Zhang Meng actually spent only $7 million to get all the core plant equipment and jishu of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, which has a market value of $2.3 billion.
On the day of the dismemberment of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, when Qi Wabo was in prison, heard the news that his company had been sold by snooker, he was so angry that he vomited blood and died.
In the following time, Datang Heavy Industry began to demolish and relocate, because Boliheng Iron and Steel Company supported more than 100,000 employees, and Zhang Meng only took away less than 10,000 employees, including scientific research team, management personnel and Jishu workers, and the other more than 90,000 workers who mainly worked hard will face unemployment, and the units they live in will also be repossessed and sold, especially the economic crisis has spread in an all-round way, and these workers will face a cruel and harsh living environment once they are unemployed.
As a result, tens of thousands of workers of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company began to demonstrate and march to protest against Datang Heavy Industries' sale of Boliheng's assets and prevent the demolition of factory machinery and equipment.
In the face of mass protests by tens of thousands of workers against the demolition, Zhang Zhong immediately reported to Zhang Meng, demanding that a part of the army be mobilized from the country to disguise themselves as security guards to protect the safety of machinery and equipment.
In this regard, Zhang Meng just smiled mysteriously.
You must know that Zhang Meng has done demolition work, and he didn't dare to do anything in China before, but now he is facing foreigners, especially Zhang Meng's most unpleasant Yankees.
To paraphrase Zhang Meng's words: This group of Yankees who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they don't know that Ma Wangye has three eyes, and they dare to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Why should we do it ourselves? Just spend some money and ask the local American gangsters to come forward, and all we need to do is have legal documents from the U.S. government. ”
Zhang Zhong immediately understood what Zhang Meng meant, and immediately contacted the local American gangster. The gangsters, who soon received the money, quickly intervened and forcibly suppressed the former employees of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company who prevented Datang Heavy Industries from carrying out the demolition.
For the domestic hooligans of Zhang Meng's time, the American gangsters were quite brutal, and the three days of clashes left hundreds dead and thousands injured.
Although the local police quickly intervened to control the situation and arrested a group of gangsters, they were released on various bails within a few days, and continued to forcibly suppress the Americans who prevented Datang Heavy Industries from carrying out the demolition work.
Three months later, all the core machinery and equipment of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company were dismantled and shipped to the Tang Empire, and the original land, factories, mines, and staff buildings were sold to other American businessmen.
Datang Heavy Industries patted its ass and left, and the local police, judicial departments and gangsters all happily counted the money, leaving only the blood and tears of the local Boliheng employees.
Come back immediately after 《《《《《《《 ad:
Sixty or seventy years later, an American utopian named Ao Scarma was interviewed by Associated Press reporter Rice on the issue of the Tang Empire's demolition office ordering the forced demolition of the Yasukuni Shrine. He frankly advised the U.S. government not to provoke the Tang Empire, he claimed: In the history of the United States, there has been a history of blood and tears that were violently demolished, and during the economic crisis from 1929 to 1933, tens of thousands of enterprises and factories in the United States were violently demolished by a powerful shili, and he said more bluntly that this shili was Zhang Meng, the second emperor of the Tang Empire.
The reporters learned that it was Zhang Meng and his followers who colluded with hundreds of community organizations and gang organizations in the United States, and by bribing and bribing officials of the US judicial and police departments, violently coercing and intimidating American entrepreneurs, and single-handedly directed the largest violent demolition incident in American history at the beginning of the 20th century, where the equipment and machinery of tens of thousands of enterprises and factories were forcibly demolished, and finally sold to the Tang Empire at the price of cabbage, contributing to the prosperity and strength of the Tang Empire today.
Ao Scarma said with a handful of snot and tears: "Today's Tang Empire Demolition Office is adhering to his (Zhang Meng's) last wish, they forcibly demolished the Yasukuni Shrine just to kill chickens and show monkeys, in fact, what they want to do most in their hearts is to paint a huge red 'demolition' on our White House and the Pentagon." They are deliberately making excuses, and we must not give any excuses to the Tang Empire, otherwise we will repeat the most tragic mistakes of the twenties. ”
That's the way it is, the above is a comprehensive report from Associated Press reporter Rice.

In addition to the need for steel, the Tang Empire was in urgent need of cement, wood and other building materials.
At the same time as the forced purchase of Boliheng Iron and Steel Company, Datang Heavy Industries' magic grasp also extended to several major real estate developers and construction materials developers in the United States.
The real estate business in the United States is the most seriously affected by the economic crisis, the Wall Street bull market detonated the rapid growth of real estate in the United States, everyone in the United States has a house, but 90% of Americans buy houses with bank loans, on the one hand, it pushes up housing prices, stimulates the crazy expansion of building materials factories, during this period the cement production of the United States ranks first, 15.5 billion tons of cement is enough for Americans to use for 20 years, but producers are still expanding production.
When the U.S. stock market crashed, construction materials companies closely related to real estate were hit hard for the first time, closing tens of thousands of factories overnight.
According to the future demand for cement, timber and other building materials in the Tang Empire, Zhang Meng only acquired two factories at a low price, the Birmington Large Cement Factory and the Haibolan Large Building Materials Factory, and dismantled the advanced machinery and equipment of these two factories and shipped them to the Datang Empire, which were assigned to the subsidiaries of Datang Heavy Industries.
After the equipment of these two large factories arrived in the Tang Empire, it also took months or even more than a year to complete the reconstruction work. However, the urban construction of the Tang Empire will not wait for them to resume production, so Zhang Meng also bought a large number of cement, timber and other construction materials from the American market and shipped them back to the Tang Empire for the Tang Empire to carry out urban construction.
Originally, most American businessmen would rather let cement and timber rot in the factory than sell them at a lower price, but Zhang Meng naturally had the means, and he found it useful to use local American gangsters to threaten these businessmen, mobilizing the employees of these closed companies to ask their bosses for wages and forcing their bosses to sell the large quantities of cement, timber and other construction materials in stock.
The two-pronged approach results are immediately apparent.
These builders had to give in in in order to escape the pursuit of the gangs and pay the unpaid wages to their employees.
But since Zhang Meng used the participation of American gangsters, he naturally would not spend more money, and could only greatly reduce the price, and finally forced these builders to sell the goods in the warehouse to Datang Heavy Industries at an ultra-low price of 20% of the cost price, and even a considerable part of them were given away for free.
In this way, in less than three months, Zhang Meng's Datang Heavy Industries Group successively purchased 85 million tons of cement, wood and other construction consumables from the building materials market in the United States at low prices and shipped them back to the Datang Empire, including 30 million tons of military-grade special cement.
At this time, Zhang Meng had recruited enough people from the mainland, and all the engineering team machinery and equipment and materials were complete, and as the building materials needed for the construction of these cities arrived in the Tang Empire one after another, the four cities of Chang'an, Yanjing, Jinling and Daxing entered a period of rapid and large-scale urban construction.
The infrastructure of the four cities was expected to be completed by early 1931, with the Vava'u Islands, where construction of Yenching had begun first, to be completed in the fall of 1930.
