Section 390 The Age of Prosperity
There are still 30 steel mills in Northeast China, and the scale is still 10 million tons, accounting for half of China's steel production. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
These 30 were all built before the war, and they were put into operation during the war, catching up with the dividends of the war.
These 30 companies have another thing in common, that is, they are all capitalists in the Rich and Strong Party.
The capitalist clique in the Rich and Strong Party has formed a close alliance with Li Fu'an, becoming a small group, and it is not surprising that Li Fu'an lobbied for them.
Yang Chao didn't blame him, political lobbying is just a little unsightly, but it also proves that Li Fuan has matured, if he is still as high as before, he will not come, which shows that he has begun to learn the good quality of shamelessness of politicians.
Yang Chao didn't agree to him, and now the chief director of public housing is Liang Qichao, so he asked him to go to Liang Qichao.
Liang Qichao did not agree to him, even if Li Fuan said that he could supply steel bars at the lowest price, Liang Qichao insisted that public housing has its own set of systems, large-scale material procurement must be tendered, and public housing will form an evaluation committee to make selections according to the bids.
Not to mention Li Fuan's lobbying, even the Japanese have come to lobby, this wave of post-war economic crisis, Japan's impact is also very great, the economy has just improved, and it is really unlucky to encounter another crisis within a few days.
Japan values the supply of cement for public housing, and they have also offered great incentives to provide cement building materials for public housing construction.
Because Japan sent their minister, Yang Chao met with him, so naturally he would not agree to him, but he did not refuse, and also told him to go to Liang Qichao.
The Japanese competitors are not simple, not European and American cement companies, but China's local cement industry, especially Zhou Xuexi's Qixin Ash Company. The company's current cement output has reached 3 million barrels, accounting for more than 30% of China's cement output, but in recent years, the construction of various places is too fierce, since the beginning of the economic blockade of Japan eight years ago, the Chinese market has been monopolized by Chinese cement companies, all over the country have invested in the construction of cement plants, Qixin can not be like the original history, occupy ninety percent of the output.
The reason why Qixin is so powerful is not how good his products are and how advantageous the price is, but that Zhou Xuexi, who acquired this management company, has too much political energy, he is the son of Zhou Fu, and the Western-style officials in the past will give him face, even if a generation of old Western-style officials quit the political arena, but their second generation is still active.
The strength of Qixin is undoubted, the factory equipment is the latest, and the product quality is still guaranteed. Moreover, Zhou Xuexi has built his own industry into a larger group than Zhang Jian's Dasheng, covering the textile, mining and cement industries, which is already a large consortium in China, plus Zhou Xuexi's bureaucratic identity, this is a powerful bureaucratic consortium. It was Zhou Xuexi himself who replaced Zhang Jian as the chief of agriculture and commerce, and this power made his business run rampant.
However, Zhou Xuexi did not use political power to benefit himself, after all, he is a faceless person.
If Zhou Xuexi really used his bureaucratic status to lobby, the Japanese might not really be able to win him.
Yang Chao's non-interference is actually to give the Japanese a chance, a chance to bid fairly.
Yang Chao does not have much good impression of a highly polluting enterprise like cement, although she may be profitable, but only if she is profitable, she can not solve a large number of jobs like textile factories, as a chemical industry, this is a full capital and technology-intensive industry, there is no need to support too much.
Therefore, in recent years, under the preferential tariff provisions of East Asia, Japan's cement has opened up the Chinese market again, and the cement industry has once again become Japan's pillar industry.
After the Japanese communicated with Liang Qichao, they were full of confidence, because Liang Qichao assured them that they would be open and fair, and the Japanese had the confidence to compete with China's cement companies, although the scale of Japanese cement companies is generally relatively small, and there is no large-scale factory like Qixin, but their wages are low and raw materials are cheap, so they have a price advantage.
Even when necessary, their governments subsidize industries that can be exported on a large scale to earn foreign exchange.
Japan really needs to earn foreign exchange through exports, the economic crisis has almost destroyed their large number of family-owned machinery processing factories, after the loss of war orders, these family factories have no competitive products at all, and they can not compete with the large machinery factories in Shandong, Japan is currently China's largest machine market.
Especially large machine tools and precision machine tools, Japan can not manufacture at all, not machine tool production has any special secrets, in fact, it is a technology accumulation problem, the Japanese themselves production of machine tools, every part is the same as Shandong's, but their machine tools tremble severely, can not process slightly precision parts at all.
In the early days, Shandong's machine tool industry directly employed all old technicians from Germany or the United States, and then slowly trained Chinese workers. This kind of precision instrument is not something that you can use if you take it apart and imitate it. Involving thousands of parts, the accuracy of processing, the accuracy of installation, will affect the performance of the whole machine, a part of the accuracy is poor, after the formation of a machine tool, the error will be large.
The Japanese must slowly grope and accumulate slowly, and with the temperament of the Japanese, they will definitely be able to figure it out, but it will take more than ten or twenty years, and even under the competition from China, whether it can develop or not is two words. Therefore, the current industry is that Japan's light industry and China's machine manufacturing industry complement each other, so Yang Chao does not want to strangle Japan's light industry.
And it can't be choked to death, this round of economic crisis can pass in a year or two, and the great prosperity of the whole world makes no sense for the Japanese not to enjoy it, so it is better to let the Japanese feel that they can prosper only by relying on China's support, and they will only be more obedient in the future.
On the other hand, with the smooth progress of the loan with Britain and France, the negotiations between the two countries have also been successfully concluded, and after fierce negotiations, both sides have made some concessions, agreeing to reduce the current tariff barriers to normal levels, reduce taxes on major goods to less than 30%, and the two sides can only protect no more than three key products.
The British chose to protect their steel, coal, and dye industries, the French chose to protect their silk weaving, steel, and machine tool industries, and the Chinese protected the automobile, shipbuilding, and wool industries.
The strongest of the British were the textile industry and the chemical industry, both of which were exported on a large scale and therefore did not need protection; France's silk weaving, steel and machine tool industries are not weak, but they are not as good as these industries in China, so they need to be protected; China's automobile industry has just started, and this industry has a strong pulling ability, the protection of the automobile industry is equivalent to the protection of many related industries, the protection of shipbuilding is to prevent the competition of Britain's super shipbuilding capacity, and the wool textile industry has developed well in recent years, but it is far less than the British, the protection of wool spinning not only protects the textile industry that has just emerged in Tianjin, but also protects the thousands of herdsmen who began to raise sheep in the Mongolian steppe.
On the contrary, the textile industry Yang Chao did not protect, the first war in recent years China's textile industry has developed rapidly, the second is due to Wang Qiu's strength of the fiber factory scale reached 500,000 tons, China's blended is now the only one in the world.
Soon after the agreement between the three countries was reached, China reached trade treaties with the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Italy and other European countries to reduce tariff protection, and a huge market was connected, while the Americans used tariff barriers to isolate the whole world, and at the same time built a high wall to close themselves.
In September, Shanghai's planning was the first to be done, and at the same time, the bidding also came out of the results, more than a dozen Japanese cement factories formed a group to win the order of 3 million barrels of cement in Shanghai, these Japanese are still really ruthless, the price proposed is almost the cost price, their cost price, if the new cement plant is accepted, it will definitely lose money.
The 600,000 tons of steel were jointly won by the Northeast Iron and Steel Plant, for which the group of capitalists also merged their own steel mills to form a Northeast Iron and Steel Company, which was condensed into a rope.
The iron and steel industry in Northeast China is a large output, and it is much worse than Yantai Iron and Steel Company and Laiwu Iron and Steel Company in other aspects, because their products are mainly produced crude steel. Yantai's leading products are marine steel, and Laiwu has a large number of alloy steels, cylinders, and weapons steel.
However, due to the single product of this crude steel group, the cost of mass production is the lowest, and the cost of simple crude steel is very competitive in the world.
As soon as the order was placed, Shanghai's public housing program began, employing 30,000 workers alone.
In addition, the Shanghai Municipal Government's reconstruction and expansion project has also begun to start, this larger, the need for a variety of building materials, more labor, the total cost of a billion high injection into the market, like a shot in the arm, Shanghai's economy has suddenly improved, nearly a year of lifeless finally ended.
More than one Shanghai, other cities, north to Beijing, Tianjin, south to Guangzhou, Nanning, east to Suzhou, Wuxi, west to Chongqing, Chengdu, more than 50 large cities in the country have entered the reconstruction and expansion project, a large amount of investment almost spread out in various places at once, through the wages of workers, building materials released into the market, the market quickly started.
The depression was over, and the boom began.
And from the beginning, there was a lot of movement, and the growth momentum was very strong.
This is the result of Yang Chao's continuous release of all kinds of good news in the past few months, after the release of those good news, consumption cannot be stimulated temporarily, but there are some entrepreneurs with bright brains who will start to expand production, and they will expand production, and they will recruit workers.
So as soon as the order arrived, they immediately produced enough products, and some of them were even produced and sold in the warehouse at a price.
There is production, there are orders, there are jobs, and they burst out almost at the same time, so it is strange that this momentum is insufficient. (To be continued.) )
