"According to statistics, there are more than 4,300 enterprises under construction!"

Stolypin was very interested in visiting Yangchao's industrial zone, and after visiting the already huge cities of Qingdao, Yantai and Dongying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Chao introduced him.

The 10 billion marks finally leveraged the investment of 30 billion marks, and Yang Chao provided about one-third of the interest-free loans to those German companies.

However, of the more than 4,000 factories, 1,000 were built by the Chinese themselves, and basically all members of the Fuqiang Party applied for loans to build them.

"If you don't have the funds, how do you solve it?"

Stolypin admired Yang Chao's industrial construction, but he knew that Yang Chao was a wealthy man with incredible wealth, and gold even exceeded the reserves of the whole of Russia.

In fact, the production of this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is very simple, no matter what the way, the organization of labor force to engage in labor is naturally production. It is the same whether it is a political or an economic one. It is as if forced slave labor and wage workers are just a form of organization of production. ”

Hearing Yang Chao's words, Stolypin frowned slightly: "You are a social righteous? ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "No, I insist that the market economy decides the problem, because the side effects are smaller." The economy is best solved by economic methods, no one likes forced labor, but if you give them money, you will be happy to work. ”

Stolypin understood that Yang Chao meant that he had money to spend money to make people work, and if he didn't have money, he could only use coercion.

But Stolypin didn't want forced labor, and everything he did was to encourage privatization and encourage the development of the market.

"I wonder how production can be expanded without funding!"

"Market! In fact, the market is the biggest driving force of the economy, whether it is agriculture or industry, without which it cannot survive. Find a market, do everything you can to find a market, even at the cost of starting a war! ”

In his large stone house, Yang Chao preached his ideas to Stolypin.

This shocked Stolypin at the same time, but also had a sense of confidant, he suddenly felt that Yang Chao launched the war against Russia, as if it was for this purpose, that the industrial enterprises under Yang Chao's rule at that time were full of fat.

"But how to expand the market, you know, China's industrial strength is still very weak, and the products produced by the factories simply cannot compete with the products of Britain, Germany, and the United States. Even if the domestic market is protected by high taxes, it cannot resist the invasion of products from these countries, let alone open up other markets. ”

"Cooperation!"

Yang Chao said.

"Through cooperation, bypassing tariff protection, finding a favorable position for domestic goods, and then through the continuous accumulation of exports, continuous growth. In a country as big as China and Russia, where there is no shortage of manpower, land, and resources, it is too much to say that industry cannot catch up with countries like France and Germany, and as an official who holds power, I feel very ashamed. ”

Stolypin nodded: "I'm equally ashamed. But how can you find a market through cooperation? For example, how do you and us find a market for each other's enterprises? ”

Yang Chao nodded: "It's very simple, communicate with each other, and make up for each other with their respective advantageous industries." Encourage bilateral trade, so that industries in which each country has advantages can grow. For example, Russia has abundant iron ore, but China's iron ore is very poor, and our iron ore has to be imported to the United States for a long time. Somehow, if the price of Russian iron ore is lower, it can make Russian iron ore more competitive than American iron ore, and they can get orders from China's huge steel mills. When the iron ore mines make a profit, they will recruit workers, add machinery, expand production, and further reduce prices, and so on and so forth, becoming more and more competitive. When an enterprise gains competitiveness, it is the time when the country's competitiveness is strong. ”

Stolypin listened attentively, and unconsciously leaned over, staring at Yang Chao's eyes.

"But how can you make the price of iron ore in Russia lower than that of American ore? There are more machines in the iron ore mines in the United States, and more manpower is used in the iron ore mines in our country, and the iron ore exported by ship in the United States must be transported by land, while the iron ore that passes through me must take the land route with a higher price. Therefore, China's iron ore exports to Germany are acceptable, but if exported to China, there is no competitiveness. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "It's very simple, two ways, cooperate with each other!" The governments of both sides provide good conditions for better cooperation between the two sides. For example, I can provide a batch of mining equipment to Russian iron ore mines, so that Russian miners can get better machines in advance without having to accumulate slowly, but in return, Russian miners will use iron ore to offset the equipment loans. This increases the productivity of the iron ore mine in advance, and as for the repayment, it is certainly faster than the time they have accumulated. This method of first increasing productivity and repaying loans improves efficiency in advance, which is equivalent to shortening the time for accumulation. The little adds up, and the more such cooperation, the more terrifying Russia's competitiveness becomes. ”

Stolypin nodded: "You can try it." So what about other aspects, my country is by no means willing to be only an ore exporter. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "This is just one example. All enterprises with the possibility of cooperation can greatly improve efficiency through policy matchmaking. And there should be many such industries in our two countries, and there is definitely not only one iron mine. ”

"Another example is the textile industry. Russia has a large amount of land and a relatively abundant labor force, but it is much worse than China. So the Russians are more suitable for growing cotton, of course, not in the modern cotton industry, but in a large industry, large-scale production, sowing with machines. China's land is relatively scarce, and it is impossible to use precious land to grow cotton. In this way, the two countries have relatively their own advantages in each other. Cotton from Russia's large industry is exported to China, and China's abundant labor processes textiles. Another example is oil, Russia has rich oil resources, and it can also be exported to our country. Of course, Russia is not willing to be only an exporter of resources, and our country is also very rich in coal, which can also be exported to Russia. ”

"But Russia is a country with relatively rich land resources, and it is impossible for Russia to produce everything on its own. Personally, I think that as long as Russia develops large-scale modern agriculture and develops its own abundant mineral resources, it can actually become a powerful modern country. But in the same way, Russia also needs some of its own industrial projects, such as the military industry, which is the foundation of the country's strength. With the iron and steel industry and military industry as the core, a huge industrial chain has been formed from minerals to smelting to processing military industry. In this way, Russia will become extremely powerful. ”

Yang Chao's explanation made Stolypin present a clear line in his mind, with minerals, metallurgy, and military industry as the core, driving machine production, and forming a huge large-scale agriculture and mining, which is enough to make Russia an advanced modern country.

"A big country like ours, as long as it is well organized, can develop incredible strength in ten years!"

Yang Chao's words touched Stolypin very much, yes, he only needs time, twenty years may be too long, ten years is good.

After that, Stolypin went to the northeast to visit the huge farm that Zhang Jian and they had cultivated, and a tractor galloped on the same dark land with black eyes, sowing seeds one by one, and the farm was endless, although it was only a flat contiguous land at this time, but it already made people think of the full granary after the autumn harvest.

The huge steel industry under construction in the Tieling area also made Stolypin very envious, the Russians only produced more than 4 million tons of steel, and the Chinese will have more than 10 million tons of output after these factories are put into operation, and he also wants to promote the steel industry in Russia, but unfortunately there is no capital.

After looking at the steel plant, I went to see the nearby mines, which were produced with large-scale excavation equipment, and the output was quite guaranteed. Whether it was a coal mine or an iron mine, the miners wore uniform uniforms and full safety gear, and compared with the minerals in Russia that were excavated by poor peasant workers, Stolypin felt like what Peter the Great had seen on his travels to Western Europe, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

"Our northeast is similar to Russia, with a vast and sparsely populated land, fertile land, and rich in minerals. So we are here to encourage big agriculture, our efforts are much greater than your country, I allow the rich who can afford to reclaim the land, free to get a large area of wasteland for colonization, now we have established more than 100 large farms here, with tractors to open up wasteland, cultivation, combine harvesters, these large farms in less than three years, to open more than 100 million acres of fertile land, comparable to the land reclaimed in the first 100 years of our country. ”

"Mining is also encouraged, with state-of-the-art mining equipment, and the average person can dig four hundred times as much as hand-excavated. Then by exporting large quantities of ore and coal, in exchange for the accumulated funds of industrialization. In the future, when our factory starts, we will directly supply raw materials to the factory, and we will be a one-stop industry. The Northeast is about to become our Pittsburgh, Birmingham! ”

When he returned in the airship, Stolypin remained silent, quietly looking out the window.

When he saw the Zeppelin-Yang Chao airship company in Shandong, he was shocked.

Recalling that ten years ago, China was still a role that Russia could knead at will, and it was only a few years before he suddenly discovered that Russia already needed to look up to China.

The airship company is so advanced that he can't imagine it, the huge aluminum alloy plate with a length of 40 meters is pressed into a frame, sent to the assembly workshop for docking, and then welded together, installed with airbags, covered with skin, and one airship after another is produced, and then flies into the sky, dropping bombs one after another, and the Russian railways wail under the bombs.

There are also Sifang locomotives, arsenals, and Diesel's diesel engine factory, but he was shocked by the huge machine tool that could process a one-meter bore at a time, and what was even more shocking was that Yang Chao told him that he could process a cannon barrel as big as a cylinder could be processed.

But Stolypin knew that it was all made of gold.

Yang Chao has money, but Russia has no money.

But is that all? (To be continued.) )
