Cheap oil is the most surging driving force of the economy.

Therefore, the US imperialists of later generations tried every means to control the world's oil pricing power.

This controls the dynamics, and whoever controls the functioning of the world economy.

Yang Chao does not yet have the capacity to control global oil production, but the time has come to actively intervene, and it is the best opportunity before World War II, the time brought by the great crisis.

Every crisis, whether caused by war or economy, is an opportunity to change the pattern of the world.

Taking advantage of the First World War to establish a strong basic economy, this strategic overall situation Yang Chao has been completed, and now it is the period of layout for World War II, he needs a stronger economic foundation, then he needs cheaper power support.

Oil is one and the other is electricity.

The application of internal combustion engines and electricity can become the symbol of the second industrial revolution precisely because they provide cheaper and more convenient power than coal, and the fundamental principle is to greatly improve production efficiency, and the driving force of economic growth is actually the improvement of efficiency, which is to replace manpower with machines, and to replace extensive management with more advanced management.

Management is soft power, can not be achieved overnight, can only be through continuous improvement of education, to cultivate generation after generation of better human resources, but technology can be improved in a short period of time.

After the meeting between Yang Chao and Rockefeller Jr., he immediately returned to Shanghai to meet with some other guests and start other arrangements.

The first guest, Yan Xishan, Shanxi.

Yan Xishan's visit to Yang Chao was to revive Shanxi's economy.

Shanxi's previous economy was based on ticket finance and commerce, plus Shanxi's coal exports.

However, the crisis made coal unsalable, and Shanxi's economy suddenly broke a leg, and those ticket numbers also fell into difficulties, although they did not go bankrupt. But profits have been greatly reduced.

Commerce, too, is shrinking, resulting in continuous negative growth in Shanxi's economic development in recent years.

Therefore, Yan Xishan aimed at other aspects and investigated. He believes that Shanxi has a huge advantage in developing coal chemical industry, which has been in Shandong until now, and is a company built by German chemical giants such as Bayer and BASF, all of which have a large stake in Yang Chao. It can even be said that it is a holding company, without Yang Chao's consent, these companies can not go to Shanxi to invest, even if Yan Xishan provides the most preferential treatment, they can't be the master, in fact, they still don't want to invest, during the big crisis, their own production capacity is not guaranteed to find a market, who dares to build a new factory.

However, what Yan Xishan saw was the huge profits of the coal chemical industry, which was much more profitable than coal mining. Yan Xishan is accustomed to careful calculations, and he found that Shandong's coal simply cannot supply the consumption of these chemical giants, and many of them buy high-quality coal from Shanxi, which is then either exported abroad or further processed into other products, such as fertilizers.

Seeing Shanxi's cheap coal, which was processed by these factories and made huge profits, Yan Xishan felt as if his money had been stolen. But it has been too difficult to see Yang Chao in the past few years, and he finally found an opportunity, and when he heard that Yang Chao had returned to Shanghai, he immediately came. only to learn that Yang Chao went to Japan.

Yan Xishan was determined to deal with Yang Chao this time, so he waited, waited to die, and if he didn't see Yang Chao, he wouldn't leave.

"Governor Yan, I'm glad to meet you."

For this old West. Yang Chao still has a good impression because he has won the hearts of the people.

can sit as the governor of Shanxi for more than 40 years, if it is by playing political means, it will be too insulting to the audience's IQ.

To be honest, Yan Xishan built Shanxi into the fourth largest economic province after Shandong, Northeast China and Shanghai and Guangdong, and this alone has to agree with his ability, and in the original history, he operated better, second only to Northeast China in the industrial field, second only to Shanghai in the financial field, second only to Beijing in the field of education, and has developed in almost all fields, Taiyuan Arsenal is one of the three major arsenals in China, which is not bragging.

In this era, Shanxi developed better, Yan Xishan in this inland province, vigorously built railways, Shanxi is the second county in addition to Shandong, the province with railways.

With the help of the good economic situation and the momentum of China's rise in recent years, Shanxi has also developed greatly.

Therefore, although Yan Xishan's hands and feet are not so clean, and it has been revealed many times that there are various insider transactions, such as seeking benefits for relatives and friends, and even his father has made a fortune by operating ticket numbers, but he has been re-elected as governor again and again, and it is precisely because of the support of the people of Shanxi that he has been re-elected.

The children of the common people can go to school and get free lunches, and the dilapidated houses of the common people's houses Yan Xishan have been replaced with brick houses, why don't the people support Yan Xishan? Historically, New China has passed the first five-year plan, and there are still old people in Shanxi who miss Yan Xishan, because they feel that life was better at that time.

Therefore, Li Fuan focused on investigating Yan Xishan again and again, and arrested several relatives of Yan Xishan, but he was never able to move to this officialdom tumbler.

"Lord Yang, lifted, lifted."

Yan Xishan's waist was bent very low, and his attitude was very humble.

Since he supported Yuan Shikai back then, he has been regarded as a traitor by the Alliance, and he has not been able to wash his name over the years, so after Yuan Shikai, he took refuge in Yang Chao and resolutely supported Yang Chao in various politics, so he considered himself an ally of Yang Chao, and Yang Chao should also sell him a favor.

But Yang Chao has always refused to go to Shanxi to invest in chemical factories before, and he used to forget it, but this time Yan Xishan will never agree, he must give Shanxi a new road, otherwise Shanxi people are living a hard life now, and he, the governor, should really retire, not being bombarded by Li Fuan's scourge, and finally being ousted by Shanxi villagers.

"Old Yan is too modest. You and I are divided into each other. ”

Yang Chao said with a smile.

Yan Xishan hit the snake and went down the pole, and immediately arrived: "I said the wrong thing, I should be punished!" ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Punishment, must be punished." A little banquet was prepared, and the governor of Yan Da appreciated the light. ”

After saying that for so many years, it is the first time to have dinner with Yan Xishan, because this product has offended the Alliance, for decades, it will not come out after taking root in Shanxi, and there are always huge guards around him, and he knows too well what the League is doing, he is afraid of being assassinated, of course, it may also be afraid of being detained by political forces in Beijing, Yuan Shikai's reputation is not good.

At the banquet, Yan Xishan cried vigorously about how the people of Shanxi were poor, how the place in Shanxi was poor, and said that in the end, he really cried and cried bitterly.

When the play came to this, Yang Chao didn't persuade him, but he left the play.

So he immediately sighed: "Shanxi is barren, but it is a large tax province, since the Ming Season, second only to Su Song." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi ranked second in terms of taxes, second only to Jiangnan, including the Susong area, and of course relied not on the output of acres of land, but on the income of salt merchants who were rich in the world.

Yan Xishan cried again: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, my old Yan is ashamed, Shanxi is the second in the world in terms of taxes in the Ming season, but now." It's just that it's not as good as Shandong, it's understandable that it's not as good as the Northeast, it's not as good as Shanghai, it's not as good as Jiangsu, it's not as good as Guangdong, and it's a shame to be ashamed. Shanxi is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, can it be sad to go to Shudao? ”

A mouthful of Shanxi dialect, around the Yang Chao is also a big head, this goods mentioned Sichuan, but it is really nonsense, Sichuan is Shu Road, but Sichuan also has the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River water transport plus the Sichuan-Han Railway, Sichuan's transportation is not necessarily worse than Shanxi, and Sichuan's current population is almost 80 million, talent is the primary productive force, why Shanxi compare?

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Although Shanxi's taxes are not as good as Sichuan's, Sichuan's three Shanxi are bigger, which is not a loss." ”

On average, Shanxi is nearly twice as per capita as Sichuan, and Sichuan, which is not separated from Chongqing, is now a really large province in China.

Yan Xishan didn't listen, and continued to borrow wine to go crazy: "Lord Yang, you have to help the elders of Shanxi, Shanxi people have been endlessly in their previous lives, and they have met my old Yan, if you meet Lord Yang, you will have a hard life." My old Yan Dai Shanxi father begs you, I kneel with you! Kowtow! ”

said that Yan Xishan was about to kowtow, this thing played a scoundrel, and he regarded himself as Zhang Zuolin.

Yang Chao couldn't be Yuan Shikai, so he hurriedly pulled him up.

"Lao Yan, if you have difficulties, just say, can I help you?"

After hearing this, Yan Xishan stopped crying and was not drunk.

Immediately said: "My old Yan has told those Germans in Bayer that as long as you agree, you will go to Shanxi to invest." Lord Yang, can't you watch the Shanxi fathers starve to death, the Shanxi fathers love Yang like a god. My old Yan is the first. ”

Yang Chao laughed.

The reason is very simple, Shanxi is an inland, chemical industry is a heavy polluting enterprise, in Shandong can be directly discharged to the sea, in Shanxi can not be discharged at all, and the rivers and mountains in that area, pollution is accumulated, even the air is difficult to circulate, and finally it becomes acid rain down.

But will Yan Xishan listen to these reasons, and will the people of Shanxi listen to them?

Yang Chao sighed: "It's not that I don't let them invest in Shanxi, but those factories are polluted, Shanxi is inland, and pollution is harmful to future generations." ”

Yang Chao explained, whether he listened or not, it was up to Yan Xishan himself.

Yan Xishan really frowned, and pretended to be drunk and cried again: "Lord Yang, if you don't rely on the sea, it's not the sin of Shanxi's fathers, don't you deserve to starve to death if you don't rely on the sea!" ”

Crying and fussing.

Yang Chao sighed: "You choose for yourself, if you want to let them go, let them go, I have no opinion here, I will call Bayer and them, you just go to them directly." ”

Yan Xishan didn't speak, he lay directly on the table, and the whirring sound sounded, sleeping, of course, pretending.

Yang Chao smiled bitterly and left the table. (To be continued.) )
