Section 4 Economic Reform VIII
※ The state opened the sickle and hurriedly poured it to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence. \\。 He studied at Yale University in his early years, returned to China and asked for a teaching position at the university, served as director of the Nankai Institute of Economics, and after 918, he was invited by Qian Changzhao to join the Resources Committee as a member of the Economic Committee, and last year he became the vice minister of the newly established Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Today, Chiang Kai-shek's sudden summons surprised him, a strange guard took him to the small conference room, handed him a document, and then left silently.
"Brother Quenlian, you are here too
He Lian looked up and saw that it was Fang Xianting, a colleague from Nankai, and he hurriedly asked, "You are also here, what is the matter?" ”
Fang Xianting raised the document in his hand: "Look at it, Kong Yongzhi's generosity is really a great creation."
He Lian ignored the sarcasm in his tone, and hurriedly sat down beside him, let go of the document and read it carefully, the document was not very long, only a short five pages and finished reading it in a short time.
Closing the document, He Lian closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and just after opening his eyes, Fang Xianting's voice came: "After reading it, what do you think?" ”
"Once this strategy is implemented, I'm afraid they will be bitter He Lian said lightly, this Yunchu is Wu Yunchu, chairman of Shanghai Tianyuan Chemical Factory.
"How could he come up with such a plan to fish for all his might?" Fang Xianting asked strangely.
He Lian shook his head. He noticed that a trace of disdain flashed quickly on the face of the man in the suit opposite, and when he saw that the other party also had the same document in front of him, he knew that he must have come for the same thing, so he asked with a smile: "What is the name of this gentleman, my name is He Lian, and I work in the Ministry of Economy." Small.
The man in the suit is very polite. He owes himself and says: "Zhang Lisheng, who works in the Material Bureau, has long admired Professor He's name, and has long wanted to know Mr., but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity
Only then did He Lian and Fang Xianting know that Jilai was the director of the Materials Bureau who had been talked about a lot recently, and He Lian asked politely: "What does Mr. Zhang think of Dean Kong's plan?" ”
Zhang Lisheng said calmly: "Since the Anti-Japanese War, the consumption of materials has been huge, and it is necessary and necessary to control materials. It's just that, it's too much, there should be a degree in this
"Mr. Zhang is right" Fang Xianting said: "Dean Kong's plan is unceremoniously said to kill chickens and eggs, according to this plan, the import rights of all industrial factories and mines will be prohibited, whether it is the production of raw materials or consumer goods, if it continues like this, in a few years, the internal relocation of factories and mines will be in trouble, or even stopped."
He Lian hurriedly introduced: "This is Fang Xianting, director of the Economic Research Institute. ”
Zhang Lisheng yelled at Fang Xianting again, and then said ambiguously: "Mr. Fang's concerns are not unreasonable. That's why I said that there should be a small degree in this, and it doesn't matter if it's too rigid. ”
He Lian and Fang Xianting are more scholars, focusing on the academic field, Zhang Lisheng is different, after he read the document, the first reaction in his heart is that Kong Xiangxi wants to take back the things lost in the Material Bureau through this, if this plan is implemented, the Material Bureau will be subject to the Ministry of Finance or his newly established company to a certain extent.
understands and understands, but Zhang Lisheng doesn't know how to stop it, he became the director of the material bureau from Kong Xiangxi, although it is not his own intention, but Kong Xiangxi cannot take revenge on Chiang Kai-shek, he can only bear it himself, if he offends Kong Xiangxi in this matter, then he will be offended very much, and this director of the material bureau will not be able to do it for long.
He Lianzheng wanted to further discuss with Zhang Lisheng The door of the small conference room opened, with Chiang Kai-shek in front and Chen Bui and Chen Cheng in the back. The three of them came in together. The three people in the room immediately stood up, and after Chiang Kai-shek sat down, everyone sat down.
"You've all seen this plan." Chiang Kai-shek picked up the document in front of him and asked. Everyone nodded, and Chiang Kai-shek said, "What is the war?" Money and materials, now the country's finances are tight, and all kinds of materials are in short supply, President Kong proposed such a plan. Please discuss this. Whether the scenario is feasible
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words fell, there was a silence in the conference room, everyone looked at each other, Chen Cheng and Zhang Lisheng looked at Chen Bui, Chen Bui looked at the water waves with his eyes. In fact, he knew in his heart that this today. The meeting has already explained the problem without Kong Xiangxi's participation, but this cannot be pointed out that Chiang Kai-shek has not yet taken down Kong Xiangxi's determination.
"I'll say a few words," Fang Xianting couldn't hold back: "I have always believed that the economy should be regulated and government intervention should be strengthened. Especially during the war, during the European war, whether it was Britain or France and Germany, economic control was imposed". Fang Xianting grabbed the documents on the table, raised them and slammed them on the table: "But it's not such control, this is killing chickens and eggs, the state finance has been in deficit for the past two years, and the method of the Ministry of Finance is to issue more banknotes and implement the policy of currency depreciation." This has led to a sharp rise in prices, and now we are using this as an excuse to control imports, which will bankrupt most companies, which is contrary to our purpose
"Hmm" Without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to speak, Chen Cheng spoke first: "Mr. Fang, I don't know much about the economy, but isn't Zhuang Cultural Revolution also controlling grain?" Why do you support him in doing this? ”
"Zhuang type rod spoon control and forgiveness are different concepts from the present." Fang Xian was in Shuangping to make a small year of life controlled by the Cultural Revolution. You see, all foreign exchange is controlled by the central bank, and the import power is only available to the Ministry of Finance, which alone will put most imitation weaving factories in trouble. China's cotton production areas in the south of the Yangtze River, North China, Shandong, most of these places have fallen, after the factory moved to Sichuan, the means of production are already insufficient and must be imported from abroad, in addition to rubber, steel, gasoline, diesel these things have to be from abroad.
In addition, fiscal policy must be changed, and there can be no more endless money issuance. ”
Chen Cheng looked at Chiang Kai-shek's face carefully, and found nothing abnormal, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, don't be excited. Aren't we abandoning the discussion, Mr. Fang, your concerns are actually unnecessary, why? If it is really a means of production, you can apply to the Ministry of Finance for an import license, and I believe that the Ministry of Finance will not refuse to approve it. ”
He Lian stretched out his hand to stop Fang Xianting, and said calmly: "General Chen, such a highly decisive way can be seen everywhere in the harm to industry, the purpose of controlling the economy and the planned economy is to maximize the use of the state's administrative power to allocate resources, and this method requires the state to have extremely high control over production capacity and consumption capacity. We don't have such a capability now, not to mention, such a high degree of base break may also have another side effect, that is, **. ”
Get this plan. Chen Cheng knew what Kong Xiangxi wanted to do, he was very dissatisfied, you Kong Xiangxi has too much appetite, you want to swallow the entire Chinese industry and bank in one bite, and monopolize the import power, he knows with his toes who Kong Xiangxi will send to control that company, isn't his son in the Ministry of Finance? Now that He Lian has said what he wants to say, he will accept it when he sees it.
"Mr. Fear. What do you think? Chiang Kai-shek frowned, he was not ignorant of some of the Kong family's behavior, and he was also disgusted in his heart, but He Lian's hint made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he wanted Chen Bui to come forward to help.
Chen Bui naturally said: "Mr. He is too worried, if this way is adopted, the government will naturally take measures, this should be another question, now the question is whether this plan can be implemented, Mr. Fang has put forward a reason, but at present, our difficulty is that there are not many materials, and we must carry out plan management." ”
"Finance is the engine of the economy, if the engine is controlled, how can this car run? Small. Yi Xianting asked rhetorically, and then changed his tone and said: "On the contrary, the way of the Zhuang Cultural Revolution is very good, our materials are like a basin of water, this basin of water is only so much, and there is less for the small civilian army, and now the method of the Zhuang Cultural Revolution is to control the civilian population, and let the army use more as much as possible, this is control." Dean Kong's way is to control production, which is completely two paths
He Lian also interjected: "Chairman, once this plan is implemented. In the short term there will be an increase in state supplies, but in the long term. The damage to the industry will be incomparable, which is to drink the water to quench the thirst. ”
"In fact, you can't increase materials, you can only increase foreign exchange" Fang Xianting was a little calm now, and he calmly analyzed: "Chairman of the Committee, the purpose of controlling the economy is to make the economy consume resources in the most reasonable way, not to control the input of resources. The bigger crisis is that financial control will lead to a tight capital chain of enterprises, inflation will intensify, and it will be worse, loan interest rates, raw materials in the production process, workers' demands for increased wages, and so on will crush enterprises, and then social problems will become more acute, leading to a decline in the prestige of the government. ”
Chiang Kai-shek didn't know why, he used to be arbitrary, but now before making a decision, he wanted to hear more and more opinions from all sides, and even he didn't think about why, and he didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua did so many earth-shattering things, as if he was attacked by the political participants for news control, while others were absolutely supported by them, was it because he had to consult with these scholars every time he made a decision?
Chen Cheng quietly gave Zhang Lisheng a look, Zhang Lisheng knew that it was time for him to come forward, he cleared his throat lightly: "Mr. He, Mr. Fang, how do you think it should be controlled?"
Zhang Lisheng's meaning is very clear, if you can't come up with a way, then Chiang Kai-shek can only adopt Kong Xiangxi's plan, so today you have to come up with an effective plan, or adopt Kong Xiangxi's plan.
He Lian was obviously stunned. He glared at Zhang Lisheng with some annoyance. Xin said that he called me in a hurry, how could I come up with a plan, he was about to open his mouth to play time, but he didn't think that Fang Xianting opened the briefcase next to him and took out a document: "This document is a plan drafted by our Economic Research Institute." Originally, I had planned to hand it over to the chairman of the committee at a later date, but in that case, I would like to ask the chairman to read it. Small.
