Section 442 Guangdong Iron and Steel Company
"Where can you just do business?"
Mi Qing was very dissatisfied, her appetite was not so easily satisfied, if she just built a few ports, Guangdong would do it herself, why bother to find Yang Chao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Chao said with a smile: "Guangdong is very important, and I have always attached great importance to it. ”
Mi Qing glanced at him, he didn't believe that Yang Chao attached importance to Guangdong, and he could make Guangdong always develop on his own with a wild child?
Yang Chao said: "Industry is naturally important, but don't underestimate shipping, control transportation is equivalent to control trade, trade is an indispensable part of economic activities." Although industrial production was important, it was impossible for Guangdong to control the entire industrial system, but it was able to occupy a unique trade channel in the southeast. ”
Adapt measures to local conditions, take advantage of the situation, and develop according to your own advantages, rather than blindly going on projects, otherwise it will be like North Korea.
"We want industry!"
Mi Qing insisted.
With the development of the country's industry, there is now an industrial-only argument, a large group of people believe that industry is the most important, and all other industries are doomed to decline, which is also related to the continuous decline of agriculture in recent years, Yang Chao has built farms all over the world, resulting in the continued low price of grain in China, and farmers do not go out to work now, and there is no way to maintain their lives.
At the same time, places with strong industry are more affluent, and the examples of Shandong and Shanghai are obvious to all.
Yang Chao said with a smile: "Of course, Guangdong wants to develop industry, but if you don't pay attention to transportation, where are your advantages?" Shandong has a developed industry, don't think it is blindly developed, do you know what I developed first in Shandong? It's not a factory, it's a port and railway in Yantai. ”
Mi Qing nodded, but was still unconvinced: "But what Guangdong lacks now is not transportation, didn't you say that the conditions of the Pearl River are very good, so what Guangdong lacks is industrial projects, especially large projects, and large projects have been divided between Shandong and Northeast China, so you must leave some for Guangdong." ”
Yang Chao said: "You little girl, what do you know?" ”
Mi Qing snorted, "You just said that I was old." ”
Yang Chao smiled: "Okay, old girl." I don't think I advocate using political power to promote big projects, because the sequelae are too great, and I will regret it in the future. The advice I can give you is to firmly control the traffic, actively communicate with Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou, Hunan, and Jiangxi, and give them preferential treatment, so that these places are used to going to sea from Guangdong. This is tantamount to controlling the products of these provinces, so that these provinces will become the resource production areas of Guangdong, and the foundation for your industrial development will be even stronger. If Jiangxi chooses to go to sea through Shanghai via the Yangtze River, and Hunan chooses to go to sea from Wuhan to Shanghai, Guangdong will go to the future. ”
Mi Qing snorted: "After today, there is no tomorrow, today is gone, what is the future." Master, Guangdong can't afford to wait. Don't you know, even Fujian has big projects, and the Hokkien Huay Kuan has now built a big shipyard in Fujian. Wasn't that the Hokkien Association a hall that you supported back then? But what about Guangdong, you never turn a blind eye, why do other places have big projects, but let Cantonese people do small business, isn't this looking down on people! ”
Mi Qing is indeed a little anxious, in recent years, all provinces that have a way out, are looking for relationships to find a way, you are in power, you can't do a good job in the economy, the people don't recognize you, the capitalists don't recognize you, and even the local landlords don't recognize you, so all the bureaucrats who want to develop politically have changed their ways to beg their grandfathers to sue their grandmothers for investment, especially big investment, whether there are economic benefits or not, at least the attention they get is off the charts, and they can win enough political achievements for themselves.
Fujianese people have built a huge education system in Xiamen through overseas Chinese and chambers of commerce, and the Jimei Village built by Chen Jiageng is a one-stop shop from primary school to university; The Fujian Association annexed the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, using the equipment here to expand a super-large shipyard, Jiangsu privatized the Jinling Machinery Bureau, and also developed a strong machine manufacturing base, Hubei is also building a large project based on the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.
But Guangdong now only has small enterprises, small projects, you don't have big projects, especially heavy industry projects, you can recruit thousands of workers, so that people near and far can come to work and earn money, you can't get support.
Mi Qing is no longer the president, obviously she will not be reconciled, she still wants to continue to compete, but there is no real achievements in her hands, she will fight in the future, and she has no confidence, so she hopes to develop Guangdong to the same level as Shandong, show her ability, and lay a good foundation for the future election.
"Shipyard?"
Yang Chao nodded, this is indeed a big project, Japan's development of shipbuilding is the power of the whole country, shipbuilding, railways, are all big projects in this era, and they are also big projects in later generations.
"Guangdong can also develop shipbuilding!"
Mi Qing said with certainty.
Where shipping can be developed, shipbuilding can be developed, which is an eternal truth, shipping is the market of shipbuilding.
In later generations, Guangdong was also a shipbuilding base in China, no smaller than the shipbuilding base in Shanghai.
Yang Chao nodded: "Then do you develop?" I didn't stop you. ”
Mi Qing snorted: "But you didn't support it. We can't do it ourselves. ”
She relied on Yang Chao to die, relying on sleeping with Yang Chao for so much.
Yang Chao smiled: "I can't do it either." ”
Mi Qing jumped up: "If you say something, let the Fujian Hall come to us to build a factory, they don't dare not give face." ”
Yang Chao sighed: "Your face is not small. ”
Mi Qing had a cold face: "Do you think I haven't gone to look for them?" Those Hokkien guys! ”
The feeling is that her own face is not good, and it seems that there are still local struggles mixed in it, Guangdong wants to develop the shipbuilding industry, and the local forces in Fujian seem to have stepped in to stop it.
Yang Chao sighed: "My face may be good." But are you ready, to whom will your ship be built and sold? Fujian people build ships and they themselves guarantee that there is a market, what about you? A large shipyard, millions of dollars are invested, and a large ship costs millions, and you can't sell it without losing money? ”
Yang Chao's words made Mi Qing feel a blow.
"Do you think you're going to do shipping?"
Yang Chao said with a smile.
"When your shipping industry develops, you will naturally be able to carry out such a big project as shipbuilding. But do you think steel is a big deal? ”
Yang Chao asked again.
Mi Qing nodded.
"You can develop the steel industry."
Yang Chao suggested.
This is deliberate, Guangzhou's development of shipbuilding is a matter of time, but not now, because after suddenly swallowing Japan's shipbuilding industry, China's shipbuilding capacity is now somewhat saturated, Fujian Gang and ****** are now fighting each other fiercely, the price war is very fierce, Shanghai also provides loan concessions, and Fujian Gang only uses its own ships, but externally, it is too much to give up profits to the Japanese fleet and the Ryukyu fleet.
Yang Chao wants to interfere in this situation, and letting Guangdong join the shipbuilding industry is tantamount to intensifying competition, and even it cannot be adjusted.
But the steel industry does not have this problem, but the shipbuilding industry is booming, so that the production capacity of the steel industry is far from enough, the whole East Asia is using Chinese steel, Japan and North Korea basically do not have their own steel industry, Japan wants to recover, but do not master the iron ore resources, so that their steel production is destined to lose money, the rebuilt Yawata Iron Works only provide military steel to the arsenal, so Japan and North Korea are using Chinese steel, especially Japan's economic development is quite good, the demand for steel is great, The production capacity of China's iron and steel enterprises is somewhat insufficient, and the expansion is very strong.
"But there are no iron mines in Guangdong?"
Mi Qing was a little hesitant, she knew that the reason why there was a large steel industry in the Northeast was because there were coal and iron resources in the Northeast.
Yang Chao waved his hand and smiled: "Do you think you have to use your own resources now, needless to say, Shandong, in addition to coal, iron ore is purchased, and more than 30 million tons of iron ore are imported from Brazil every year; Even the Northeast did not exploit its own iron ore too much, and the taste of iron ore in the Northeast made the Northeast Iron and Steel Company prefer to use iron ore from Tomsk directly. ”
Mi Qing said: "There are not many coking coal suitable for ironmaking in Guangdong. And to develop the steel industry, wouldn't it be necessary to compete with Shandong for iron ore? ”
Yang Chao sighed: "Coal is not a problem at all. The Jin merchants sold Shanxi's coal as cheaply as soil. It is naturally unrealistic to compete with the Shandong iron and steel industry, and even the Northeast is still producing crude steel, and high-end steel such as marine and military steel companies cannot compete with Shandong Iron and Steel Company. So you'll have to use iron ore from other places. ”
Mi Qing nodded, and suddenly said, "Vietnamese? ”
She knew that Yang Chao had obtained the mining rights in Vietnam from the French a few years ago, but she always held it in her hands, anyway, if the French did not pay off the loan, the prospecting rights would be in her own hands. It has even won the mining rights of several important iron mines, but it has not been mined.
Yang Chao said with a smile: "What is the value of that bit of iron ore in Vietnam?" Australian. Guangdong faces the South Seas, and iron ore transported by sea and land can be closer to Guangdong than to Shandong. So your conditions are actually much better than Shandong. ”
Mi Qing nodded, if the steel industry can be developed, it will be no smaller than the shipbuilding industry, and the profits will be huge.
It's just that she wants to compete with Shandong and the Northeast, so she has some pressure, and the Fujian Gang will not hesitate to compete with Guangdong, anyway, the neighbor is the enemy, Fujian and Guangdong have been competitors since ancient times, but to compete with Shandong and the Northeast, this is not what Mi Qing wants to see, she considers not only economic interests, but also political interests, these are the two largest political forces, offended the local forces in Shandong and the Northeast, how to run for president in the future.
"Will Shandong and the Northeast agree?"
Mi Qing hesitated.
Yang Chao said with a smile: "In business, don't get involved in too much politics. Besides, why don't you run it yourself, why do you want to pull Shandong and Northeast China? ”
Mi Qing was puzzled: "The problem of money is easy to solve, but we don't have the technology." ”
Why did she come forward to persuade Fujian to help Guangdong invest in the shipbuilding industry, it is because there is no technology, the steel industry is the same as the shipbuilding industry, it is a technology-intensive industry, and it is impossible to develop without technology accumulation, Hanyang Iron Works is the best example, after so many years, how many ups and downs have been encountered, and there has been no quality steel in the hands of Zhang Zhidong.
Yang Chao sighed: "Guangdong wants to face the sea and the world, you don't have it in your hands, but foreigners have it." ”
Mi Qing frowned: "Cooperate with foreigners? Looking for Germans? Germany's economy is not good at the moment, and their technology is good, so they should be willing to cooperate with us. ”
Yang Chao shook his head: "No, Germany has no use value, look for the British!" ”
Mi Qing was stunned, she really didn't expect it. (To be continued.) )
