Section 473 German Community

Yang Chao's prescription is that the public housing company will take out part of the land for commercial development, whether it is to build luxury villas or commercial real estate, anyway, real estate is a very profitable business in any era. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And public housing has an advantage that no one else has, he can get a piece of land cheaply from the government, once planned, not only can build a large number of cheap rental houses for the poor, but also easily drive the development of an area, just like before the demolition of Shanghai, the official seat is just a piece of moats and shacks, dirty and messy typical areas, but the construction of public housing has made it clean, the roads have been widened, and the urban area has expanded.

"The development of high-end housing is tantamount to letting the rich give profits to subsidize the poor; Engaging in commercial development can not only prosper the economy, but also improve the quality of the community, recover part of the benefits and continue to subsidize the poor; It is necessary to get the understanding of the local government, after all, the land you get is cheaply given by the local government, and some of them are even only lent to you for public housing. ”

After Yang Chao prescribed a prescription for Liang Qichao, he also reminded him of the difficulties.

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "This matter is easy, as long as the economy can prosper, is it still the local area that benefits?" The difficult thing is that there is no talent. If you Yang Chao don't solve this problem for the old man, the old man will arrest you. ”

Yang Chao laughed: "Qichao is embarrassed. If you are a doctor, you have to pay for yourself. ”

Of course, Yang Chao can't be arrested, but he can help introduce him.

"This talent, where can it be compared to Shanghai, the Chinese can't, aren't there foreigners?" As far as I know, the current architectural design industry in Shanghai is mainly dominated by foreigners, Chinese engaged in construction, and foreigners engaged in design. Shanghai is an open place, and Qi Chaogong's vision is not restrained, can he say his ideas for bidding? There is always someone who can give the right solution. ”

Liang Qichao nodded, he wouldn't really catch Yang Chao's strong man, but Yang Chao's support is indispensable, not to mention anything else, with the support of Yang Chao, a rich man, the driving force is huge, and it is more powerful than the genuine advertisements in the newspaper.

"I can build this house, if I can't sell it, I have to find a big family like you, Mr. Yang."

"Qi Chaogong, a big family, eats well, and he dares not to obey orders. At least I dare to guarantee that Shanghai's banking industry can move into the commercial real estate of Qichaogong, rent office buildings, and open branches. I also intend to do some new gadgets in the future, such as this movie theater, Qichao can leave me a good location. ”

With Liang Qichao again, Shanghai's current development can be described as changing with each passing day, a large number of factories grow savagely, from small workshop-style factories to capital-intensive large factories, there are both family-style oil mills, and there are modern large-scale manufacturing factories with Jiangnan Shipyard as the backbone, but mainly commercial, the Bund is already a well-deserved Asian financial center, comparable to Wall Street in the United States, all kinds of skyscrapers rise from the ground.

The ten counties of Shanghai have almost become one, with Shanghai County and Baoshan County as the center, and the other eight counties form eight satellite cities, which are connected to each other by trams, and the cities are rapidly encroaching on the rural land between the counties, and the development at the current speed will continue, and within ten years, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Shanghai to find rural areas, and the ten counties of Shanghai will probably be completely trained into a huge metropolis.

Along with the rapid expansion of the city, the population is growing rapidly, and this is the fastest growing region in the country, which has now reached the population level of 20 million, and is still increasing at a rate of more than 700,000 every year, and will certainly exceed 30 million in less than a decade.

Another characteristic is that the number of foreigners in Shanghai is extremely large, there are more than 1 million foreigners, according to statistics, the ethnic composition here is extremely complex, with more than 300 ethnic groups, even the Maori of New Zealand have appeared in Shanghai, not to mention the black people in Africa.

Obviously, this is the area with the largest proportion of foreigners outside of Qingdao, and Qingdao is mainly German expatriates, and Shanghai is obviously much more open than Qingdao, which is really an international metropolis.

Yang Chao is not worried about the problem of foreigners in Shanghai, foreigners come here to do business, as long as capital flows in Shanghai, foreigners will inevitably be here, what worries Yang Chao is the problem of Qingdao, where are the Germans in Qingdao, but really just to survive.

More than 2 million Germans live in Qingdao, and more than 800,000 German technicians work in Qingdao, making Qingdao's industrial manufacturing and even design capabilities a reputation in China and the world.

However, more than 2 million Germans have formed a complex and mature German society in Qingdao, and the Germans live in Qingdao, and half of Qingdao has been built into a pure German community.

After Yang Chao left Shanghai, the second stop was Qingdao, and he saw with his own eyes that around Jiaozhou Bay, a clear boundary was formed, and the old Qingdao centered on the port was basically inhabited by Germans, and the west around Jiaozhou Bay was an industrial area where Chinese and Germans mixed lived.

It can be said that the best and most prosperous area of Qingdao is inhabited by Germans.

On the bright side, the Germans have established a relatively advanced system such as postal services and schools here, and Qingdao is not only the first in China to popularize compulsory education, but also the quality of education is still the first in China, and now many wealthy people in Shanghai send their children to Qingdao to go to school, not only to primary and secondary schools, but also to receive university education.

But from a bad point of view, the Germans live in German communities on a large scale and densely, which will distinguish them from Chinese culture, if they have been mixed with the Chinese, let alone 2 million Germans, even 5 million Germans sprinkled in such a huge population of China, can only be assimilated, but they live together, it is difficult to assimilate, just as the reason why Chinese are difficult to assimilate in foreign countries has a lot to do with their likes to live together to build Chinatown.

Cultural misfit can lead to various social problems, such as ethnic conflicts.

"I've heard that German students and Chinese students often fight at school?"

Yang Chao asked about these social issues in front of the mayor of Qingdao, who received him.

The mayor of Qingdao replied truthfully: "There are indeed these problems, and they are all children messing around. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Then who won the battle?" It was the Chinese children who won, or the German children who won. ”

The earliest universal education in Qingdao was carried out by the Germans, because the Shandong authorities have always had close relations with Germany, so the Germans also welcome Chinese students to study in German schools, and the Germans did not use education to assimilate the idea of Chinese in it, so they insisted on German teaching, and a large number of Chinese students were proficient in German in the early years.

However, when World War I broke out, Yang Chao reclaimed Qingdao and reshaped Qingdao education based on the German education system, issuing strict education decrees, requiring all schools to teach in Chinese, and other languages could only be used as special language classes. However, the stubbornness of the German temperament, coupled with the wounded national pride after the defeat of the war, led them to take passive measures against it, and the German civil society raised its own funds to set up a large number of private schools, covering from primary schools to universities, and insisted on teaching in German.

"At the beginning, the German children were powerful, but after the European War, the Germans were no longer good, and they couldn't hold their heads up when they were beaten by Chinese children."

The mayor smiled and explained to Yang Chao that this phenomenon just reflects the contrast of national strength between China and Germany.

Yang Chao sighed: "Before the war, the Germans considered themselves the masters of Qingdao, and the German students regarded themselves as the masters, and regarded the Chinese students attending German schools as a gift to the natives. Later they were defeated, we took back Qingdao, and the German school became a Chinese school. The Chinese children raised their eyebrows, and the Germans had a kind of homesickness mentality in their hearts, and some of them couldn't raise their heads. It's not so arrogant, so naturally it can't beat Chinese children. ”

The mayor said: "Mr. Yang is high-minded, high-minded." ”

Yang Chao said: "It's not a high opinion, it's just that I care about it, but I've always cared about Qingdao." ”

"Qingdao has the favor of Mr. Yang, which is the well-being of the 5 million people of Qingdao."

The mayor patted his ass.

The mayor is a wealthy local businessman, who used to be a comprador of a German foreign firm, and later turned over and became the owner, but bought a foreign firm, and is still doing import and export business.

"Don't be too busy with sycophants, more than 2 million Germans live in Qingdao, on the ground in China, and that's not always a problem. Among them, the only ones who really benefit us are about 300,000 high-level technical personnel and high-level talents such as university professors, and the remaining nearly 2 million ordinary workers and their families are not of any benefit to the country. How do you think you can get these Germans to leave? ”

The mayor was puzzled: "If you drive them away, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." ”

Yang Chao said: "Of course you can't drive it away." This kind of thing is inherently troublesome. The Germans have made their own country like that, and if we drive these Germans away now, it will have too much impact on the image of the country. Do you think that if the German economy gets better, will the Germans go, and how many will go? ”

The mayor said: "I will definitely go, and it's hard to say how many people will go, but it's no problem for almost half of them to go." ”

"And how many people are sure to stay?"

"About 200,000 people will never leave, because there are 200,000 Germans and Chinese families."

Yang Chao nodded, such a large number of Germans and Chinese live in a city, even if the two sides are distinct and have their own communities, but transnational marriage is inevitable, and the power of love is beyond everything, so Qingdao has nearly 200,000 such families, which has more than 200,000 mixed-race descendants.

"The Germans are doing well in the German-speaking community, and they have a lot of talent. For those Germans who are unlikely to stay in China, you don't have to be polite, you should collect heavy taxes and heavy taxes, as long as you don't drive them away, find a suitable reason, I believe it will not cause too much negative publicity. But for those senior German talents who are likely to integrate into China, especially those of mixed race second generation, who have undergone a well-established systematic education and have the advantage of being bilingual in Chinese and German, all those who have gone to university will default to them as Chinese and apply for household registration for them. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The mayor hurriedly agreed that it would not be easy to raise taxes on German expatriates, and that they would not refuse to introduce a special construction fee if they had not contributed to Qingdao's municipal construction and wanted to enjoy Qingdao's various infrastructures.

But it is not easy to let high-end talents join Chinese nationality, those mixed-race children are better, now Germany's national strength is weak, China's national strength is strong, their feelings are more on the Chinese side, but for those who grew up in Germany and received education in Germany, it is difficult for these people's national identity cannot be Chinese.

"And the Jews, the Germans in Qingdao have a bad opinion of the Jews lately, and the newspapers have scolded the Jews every day."

The mayor raised another conundrum.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The disease of the Germans has infected Qingdao. This is a disease, and it must be cured. The Jews are not popular anywhere, because they are indeed greedy, and they are rarely engaged in business, they are all engaged in business, business does not require much professional knowledge, but it is difficult to do well, and the Jews have more business knowledge, so they can always squeeze the local market, and naturally they are hated. But we can't learn from the Germans and just exclude them. And you can use this card to suppress the Germans, after all, the number of Jews is really insignificant compared to the Germans. If they're just swearing in the newspapers, forget it. If it is done, it will be possible to expel a large number of young Germans who have nothing to do but like to make trouble for reasons of public order. ”

Those who are the most anti-Semitic are often not successful people, often those who are not happy with their lives, these people are the bottom, and they have made little contribution to Qingdao, and the expulsion of these people is Yang Chao's goal, once the Germans in Qingdao stand with the German Nazis, Yang Chao believes that he will still be able to drive many people away.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, a German ballet company recently came to Qingdao, and under your banner, it was said that you invited them to come."

When the business was almost done, the mayor quickly changed the subject, he felt that Yang Chao's concern on the German issue would make it difficult for him to do, because this matter was really difficult to do.

Yang Chao smiled: "Isn't this exactly what I'm here for, you see, I don't even dare to bring my wife, don't I just want to see how these German beauties dance." If you have time, why don't you go down and have a look? ”

The mayor hurriedly said: "It's an honor, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it!" ”

Riefenstahl really came to Qingdao at the invitation of Yang Chao, but they still took a lot of work, because Yang Chao did not have an official identity, they confirmed it through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not know at all, and in the end they came at their own expense.

This matter was Yang Chao's negligence, when he sent an invitation to Riefenstahl, he forgot to go through the normal procedure, and Zhang Nian was not present and did not write it down, which led to forgetting later, so this time Yang Chao came to remedy it, although he wanted to exclude the Germans, but talents like Riefenstahl were not among them.
