Mi Qing won. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This result is not unexpected, but the process is quite unexpected.

It's normal for these three people to win and lose.

What is not normal is the number of votes.

Mi Qing actually won half of the votes in the first vote, got 53%, although he did not get an absolute majority, and held a second runoff election with Pan Xun, and this time he was elected with 65% of the votes.

In China, there is a celebratory dinner after the victory, and the ministers of various countries and the current president will come to congratulate them.

Of course, celebrities from all walks of life will also be invited, and Yang Chao, of course, is also a celebrity, and he also participated.

Yang Chao saw that although the ministers of various countries had different purposes and different interests, they were all flying and quite calm.

It's clear that they're having a good time.

Britain, France, and Germany have the best reason to maintain friendly relations with China, and the cooperation between Britain and China in Guangdong has already received tremendous benefits.

Guangdong has built a 50,000-ton super port in Xin'an County (Shenzhen), Xiangshan County (Zhongshan), Panyu County (Nansha), and Dongguan County (Humen), expanded the Victoria Port in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and a series of small and medium-sized ports in the Pearl River system such as Huangpu and Foshan, Guangdong has built a huge port group.

These infrastructure projects require a huge amount of funds, totaling 80 million, of which the British provide 50 million funds, not because the Chinese market cannot raise such funds, but because the British have won benefits for themselves through various means.

There are ports, of course, shipyards, and every port has a large shipyard that builds all kinds of ships and also provides maintenance services for passing merchant ships. If there is a shipyard, there must be a steel plant, and Panyu has built a large-scale steel industrial zone, and now the scale has reached a production capacity of 20 million tons.

The shipyard and steel plant project is another 50 million taels of investment, which is also provided by the British.

However, the British provided the funds, and most of the money went back to the UK, because many of the equipment used British equipment, such as marine steel smelting, was a full set of British equipment. The technical and even management personnel of the port are also British, and a complete set of British port management and operation methods have been fully introduced, after all, the United Kingdom is still the world's largest trading country, and its port operation and construction experience is still the best in the world.

But the decisive reason is that in order to pull Britain into his carriage, Yang Chao took the initiative to cooperate with Britain, which gave Britain so much benefit. In order to develop Guangdong's economy, Guangdong is eager to introduce a number of advanced large-scale projects, and Britain is the best choice.

The French have benefited greatly from Yunnan and Guangxi, and they have promoted the development of the silkworm industry in Guangxi, which has directly brought a pillar industry to this backward region. The climatic conditions of Guangxi are indeed very suitable for the development of the silkworm industry. The French are still one of the most developed countries in the world in terms of silkworm breeding and high-end silk industry.

Through the expansion in Guangxi and the cooperation with Guangxi, a large amount of raw silk has been produced for export to France, maintaining the competitiveness of French silk. In Guangxi, a relatively vast and sparsely populated area, landlords planted cash crops such as mulberry trees on their land and set up large-scale modern sericulture farms. The capitalists set up a large number of modern factories such as silk reeling factories. This project is of great significance to the development of Guangxi in both industry and agriculture.

In Yunnan, the French established a joint venture with Chinese capital to establish a copper smelting, wire and cable production plant, and in this remote area, established a cutting-edge power industry.

Not to mention Germany, although the current situation in Qingdao is better than in the past, there are still 1.8 million Germans, and Germany's increasingly prosperous economy has only made more than 200,000 people leave China and return to China, because the Germans have settled in Qingdao, and many people regard it as their hometown.

Compared with Britain in Guangdong, which only concentrates on port terminals, shipbuilding and shipping industries, France expands around copper mines in Yunnan, and operates around silkworms in Guangxi, Germany's interests in Qingdao are all-round, and German interests are infiltrated in the entire economic chain of light and heavy industry and commercial transportation.

The French minister was very interested in building a hydropower plant in Yunnan, and he said that once Yunnan's hydropower is developed, it will be enough to supply electricity to most of the southeastern region, enough for the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, and even have spare power to support the consumption of Sichuan Province.

The British want to cooperate with China in the Yangtze River Basin, compared to Guangdong, the British historically paid more attention to the Yangtze River Basin, which is their sphere of influence, but now of course not, the British very much hope to get monopoly interests in this region again, they have knowledge reserves for this region, once the Chinese allow, they think they have the ability to quickly recover the lost interests in the past.

Of course, the British believe that if the two sides cooperate, it is easy to achieve a win-win situation. It's just that there is no need to think about Shanghai, which is now an international metropolis, where all countries can seek their own interests. The British were very interested in Hankou, and the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge greatly stimulated the potential of Hankou, which used to be a large commercial port in the Yangtze River basin after Shanghai, but now it is even more attractive.

The Germans are interested in deepening trade between the two sides, and they are very interested in the free trade agreements signed by China with small European countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, and are very willing to join it.

Yang Chao greeted these people politely, either in favor or in favor of their proposals, and he was quite emotional in his heart.

At this time, these people are still so optimistic.

The Germans, in particular, did not know that they would soon be plunged into the abyss.

These people are very optimistic, and in their eyes, the world is full of opportunities, just waiting for them to discover and obtain.

Britain quickly returned to the gold standard after the war, and the strong pound sterling made the British economy dead, and although it maintained their international position, it put British industry on a path of no return.

The price of trying to save face and support the gold content of the pound is that the British domestic economy is almost in a state of stagnation, and in the six years since the ****** meeting, British industrial production has only grown by 12%, while the United States has grown by more than 80%, and China has grown by 120%. Britain's traditional industries such as coal, steel, and textiles are in deep trouble, and although the automobile, electrical, and chemical industries are developing rapidly, they are not as fast as those of China and the United States.

The only thing that retained the advantage was Britain's trade, the British Empire's trade volume was still the largest in the world, and the annual trade volume after the war was more than 9 billion US dollars, but its share in international trade also fell, from 13% before the war to 10%, because the share of industrial exports in the world fell sharply, from 26% to 22%, and at the same time the trade turned from a surplus to a deficit, often reaching 400 million pounds.

Fortunately, Britain has a huge overseas assets, and they repatriate 500 million pounds of domestic profits every year, which can offset the balance of payments and maintain the international currency status of the British pound, but it also proves that the British economy has really become a capital rentier economy.

Although the French economy is not comparable to the great prosperity of China and the United States, compared with Britain, France's economic performance is too good, France has received more than 8 billion gold marks of war reparations from Germany, which was used to restore the damaged cities and infrastructure, and also obtained Germany's coal and steel producing areas of Alsace and Lorraine, obtained the custody of the Saarland coal-producing areas for 15 years, and seized the domination of Germany's colonies in Togo, Cameroon, Syria, Lebanon and other colonies.

After the war, through the ****** conference, France restored the gold standard, stabilized the franc exchange rate, implemented a trade protection policy, and French industry and agriculture developed rapidly in recent years. Compared with the deindustrialized Britain, France's heavy industry development is particularly eye-catching, with pig iron production increasing from more than 1.3 million tons to more than 10 million tons, and steel production from 1.29 million tons to more than 9 million tons. Emerging industries such as automobiles, electric power, and chemicals have developed faster, and the production of automobiles has grown from less than 40,000 to more than 200,000.

Unlike Britain, which insisted on the status of the pound, France devalued the franc, and the undervalued franc caused French exports to soar by more than five times the value of imports, and the total value of imports and exports increased from 27 billion francs to 100 billion francs. The huge trade surplus combined with the repatriation of investment profits led to a massive inflow of gold into France. France already has gold reserves second only to the United States.

France's share of the world's industrial production increased from 5% to 8%, completely throwing off a series of catch-ups, and establishing their status as the world's top four industrial powers.

Although the German economy was dragged down by huge foreign debt, which did not recover until the Dawes plan took effect, the recovered German economy immediately showed strong growth. The biggest impetus was that after the Dawes plan, the international capital that poured into Germany was all British and American, each accounting for about half.

The total amount of foreign investment was as high as 32 billion gold marks, and the compensation paid was only 21 billion gold marks, and after obtaining these capitals, one of the most significant effects was that the German industrial equipment was generally renewed, the most advanced machinery and equipment after the war were obtained, and the most advanced production technology was applied, which immediately made Germany's production technology level jump to the forefront of the world.

However, it was the powerful German monopoly industrial groups that received foreign capital, such as Thyssen, Krupp, Siemens, Mannesmann, Flick and other industrial giants, which almost controlled the national economy.

But these Germans don't care, they are more than happy to talk about how they have once again surpassed France and Great Britain to become the number one industrial power in Europe. Talking about their joining the League of Nations and becoming permanent members of the Executive Yuan like France, Britain and other powers, both de facto and nominally, Germany feels that it has restored its status as an international power, so Adolf's approval rating has dropped rapidly, because his banner is always to revive Germany's international status and make Germany a world power again, and the Germans feel that they are already a world power, so they are less willing to deal with Adolf, and are more willing to seize the time to live a small life.

It's just that the Germans are not happy in their small life, because they are still very poor, in fact, no matter how good their economy is, as long as they do not pay off the reparations, they will not be able to be happy for a day, and the current prosperity is more like a bomb that may explode at any moment.
