Chapter 1362 Strength and Fear of Challenges (II)

As early as the end of the Central Plains War in the 30s, Jiangnan Group began to consciously sell the industry located in the old Nanchang Industrial Center, and slowly faded out of the industry, and all the funds obtained were used for the technical upgrading of machinery and equipment and the construction of Xiangxi, South Sichuan and other places. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 For example, at present, tungsten ore in Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other places are mostly monopolized by Jiangnan Group, and the grain produced in Lianghu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also purchased by Jiangnan Group at a price one percent higher than the market price. In addition, the products produced by the factories and enterprises of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebols before and after the westward relocation were generally classified by the Jiangnan Group and transported to all parts of the country by water and land for reproduction or sales.

What organically connects all of this is the Jiangnan Group's road and waterway transportation systems throughout the country. As early as the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Transportation Company was established, at that time only had 16 trucks and buses, to September 27 Jiangnan Group was established, Nanchang to Jiujiang, Nanchang to Hukou, Nanchang to Qingjiang regular passenger and cargo ship routes opened, Nanchang to Fuzhou and other surrounding eight counties of highway passenger and freight transport declared business, the number of trucks and buses of the transport company exceeded 100, and there were more than 20 passenger and cargo ships each. In September 28, the highway passenger and freight transportation lines from Nanchang to Yingtan, Nanchang to Fuzhou, and Nanchang to Zhangshu were opened, and the number of trucks and buses doubled again.

In the years that followed, due to the encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area by the Nationalist Government, the transportation lines of the Jiangnan Group were destroyed, and the frequent requisition of the army made the transportation company unbearable. Yu Qiaqing's poor management, coupled with the shortage of drivers and maintenance workers, by the end of March or April, the transportation company was no longer sustainable.

On the eve of the transportation company's bankruptcy, Zhou Chongan appeared like an angel, took over the dying transportation company from Yu Qiaqing at the price at the time of sale, ordered 1,500 passenger trucks from the South Sichuan Automobile Factory in one go, and recruited tens of thousands of veterans from the dismantled guard and engineering units to join the transportation company, and the company's business suddenly showed an explosive increase.

In line with the road construction plan of the national government, Jiangnan Group has opened the transportation company to Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other provinces and towns, and about 30 percent of the vehicles on the national highways are mostly owned by Jiangnan Group. At the same time, in the past ten years, the number of passenger and cargo ships of the water transport company has also increased significantly, and more than 400 large and small ships shuttle through the port cities along the Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River and Grand Canal, becoming an important link and bridge connecting the east and west, north and south. Due to the An Jiajun's style of retribution, he successively cleared more than 10 cases of car bandits, road blockers and water thieves who killed people and overstepped goods, and no one dared to attack the idea of the Jiangnan Transportation Company after that, and the business became more and more prosperous.

It is with the support of a huge passenger and freight system, Syria, Xiangxi, Yunnan, Yunnan production of various commodities will not be long before the people all over the country around, Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium products, also by the Jiangnan Group to transport to various places, soon appeared in a department store, electrical firms, machinery firms, clothing stores, watch stores, grain and oil stores, hardware stores, people can easily buy such as cigarettes, matches, monosodium glutamate, flour, biscuits, candy, clocks, canned food, clothing, instant noodles, plastic products and other products, and the local products and various minerals from all over the country are also transported to all parts of the country through logistics channels.

"In general, today's Jiangnan Group is more of a lubricant and bridge in the national economy, more like a professional commercial organization, and most of the previous industrial functions are inherited by the South Sichuan Group. However, in the current situation, this is precisely the most in line with the positioning of Jiangnan Group. For those enterprises that moved west, Jiangnan Group once shared weal and woe with them, and even left a meager stake in many enterprises, compared with the unfamiliar South Sichuan Group, they are more willing to believe in Jiangnan Group, and there is not so much resistance to Jiangnan Group's suggestions and requirements. For mine owners and landlords, for a long time, Jiangnan Group's products are the guarantee of quality and reputation, and their mineral products and agricultural and sideline products are also willing to sell to Jiangnan Group, which has a good reputation. For foreign foreign companies, Jiangnan Group is a long-term collaborator, mutual trust between each other, and the opportunity to encounter difficulties in trade is minimal, which is also one of the reasons why orders for motorcycles, electrical appliances, bicycles, monosodium glutamate, cigarettes, clothing, pesticides and other products have multiplied in foreign trade over the years. ”

Zhou Chongan's words attracted An Yi's affirmation: "Well said, this is also the reason why we still maintain the normal operation of Jiangnan Group after we sell all the industries under the name of Jiangnan Group." Now all our domestic and foreign trade, are carried out through the Jiangnan Group, only in the first half of this year, the Jiangnan Group's trade volume is as high as one billion, although after deducting costs and expenses, the profit is less than 50 million, but the role can not be replaced. In the future, with the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiangnan Group will assume greater responsibilities and play a more important role. ”

He Jing spoke next. He Jing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Unlike the previous brother group, our Eastern Group mainly plays a leading role, so we do not pursue it in terms of profit. Originally, our Oriental Film Company and record company still had a profit of one or two million per year, but now that the film company has moved to Syria, everything has to start from scratch, it is estimated that there will be no films and records launched in a month or two, plus the war in North China is in full swing, and the people are in danger, who still has the heart to watch movies and buy records? However, the sales of "Oriental News" and "Oriental Outlook" have reached a new high, and it is expected that this is the only hope for future profitability. ”

An Yi just wanted to comfort him, but Lao Shoudao had already spoken: "Profit is not the only indicator of the survival of an enterprise, it is more important than anything else to be able to orient itself, and the reason why our An Jiajun can have a good reputation is due to the propaganda and agitation of the Eastern Group." Moreover, precisely because the Eastern Bloc is not utilitarian, news commentary and reporting are more impartial and more acceptable to the people.

"Think about it, if the Eastern Bloc has too much contact with interest groups, and there are many industries under its name, who can trust its news and comments at a critical moment? Over the years, "Oriental News" and "Oriental Outlook" have been accepted by all social strata because of their fairness and objectivity, and I have heard Mr. Yongzhi say that even the first newspaper Chairman Chiang reads every day is "Oriental News" and then "Central Daily." And your propaganda reports on the kid belong to the type of subtle and silent moisturizing, Xiao Yi was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee at the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in March this year, and you have made great contributions. For the current situation, the Eastern Bloc does not need to make more money, but the impact must be big enough, and if it can affect the decision-making and judgment of the people at the critical moment, you will be considered successful. ”

The room was buzzing and there was a round of applause.

"Yes, Uncle makes a lot of sense." After the applause stopped, An Yi took over the conversation and encouraged: "He Jing, you don't have a burden of thoughts, now you just need to stick to the current business policy, as before, we will quietly support you behind the scenes, ask for money for money, and ask people to give people."

"By the way, now you have an extremely important task, the audio and video data of the Japanese army firing poison gas bombs in eastern Hebei have been filmed by the officers of our Fifth Army Corps. At that time, this officer and his assistant were filming the situation of the wounded and sick by the Chaobai River, and after seeing the Japanese soldiers dropping bombs, they immediately recorded them on film and film. The filming continued until the poisonous fog cleared, and everything the little devil did was faithfully recorded by the movie camera. There was also a scene where the Air Force threw incendiary bombs and set fire to the mountain in Jixian County, and our political workers also recorded it, and all the audio-visual materials were about eleven hours. You Eastern Group must immediately take over the heavy responsibility of editing, soundtrack, commentary, and distribution, and newspapers and movies cooperate with each other to expose the ugly faces of *** people. Didn't the Americans say that *** was a 'victim'? And didn't the United Kingdom, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries threaten to impose sanctions on us? We took this opportunity to slap them in the face, so that the people of Britain and the United States and other countries could have a good look at the tragic situation of our people who were injured by poison gas bombs. Then people will understand who is lying. If it is done well this time, it may not be possible to make the governments of Britain, the United States, and other countries that have been deceived and lose face wake up and impose economic sanctions on the United States, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield. ”

He Jing's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again. If this news can be grasped well, the sales of the newspaper will definitely increase significantly, and the impact among the people will be even greater.

Then Zhang Hongluan, the king of Xiangxi, spoke: "We are rich in resources in Xiangxi, and have discovered almost all metal, non-ferrous and non-metallic mineral resources such as coal, iron, manganese, chromium, antimony, tungsten, bismuth, lead, zinc, mercury, etc. Since 27 years An Xian's nephew has done his best to help our department take root in Xiangxi, our changes can be described as changing with each passing day, thermal power plants, cement factories, agricultural machinery factories, wood factories, metal smelters, oil mills, food factories, non-ferrous metal smelters, foundries, machinery factories, gunpowder factories, hardware factories, Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory and Xiangxi Arsenal have been established successively, and the industrial and commercial base centered on Qiancheng, where the headquarters is stationed, has gradually taken shape. The Xiangjiang River has also been fully utilized and has become an important waterway transportation channel for us. We seized the opportunity, and when the Nationalist Government and the German Government signed a loan agreement for the construction of the Hunan-Guizhou Railway in three or four years, we vigorously promoted it behind the scenes, and promised to give the green light to the construction of the railway, and to contribute money and efforts, and the project was soon approved. Up to now, this railway through Yiyang, Changde, Taoyuan, Qiancheng, Huaihua, through most of the western part of our Hunan Province, has been repaired to Kaili in Guizhou, if everything goes well, we can communicate with Guiyang at the beginning of next year, then we will build the railway from Liupanshui to Guizhou, then the entire southwest will be completely connected.

"At the same time, in order to change the backward agricultural situation in Xiangxi, we have greatly developed water conservancy, dredged rivers, built 28 reservoirs and five hydroelectric power plants, and basically solved the problems of agricultural irrigation and power supply in Xiangxi. In terms of education, due to the foresight of An Xian's nephew, we established Xiangxi Normal College, Qiancheng Institute of Technology, Xiangxi Vocational and Technical College, and Qiancheng Medical College ahead of schedule, and at the same time popularized compulsory primary and secondary education, thus raising the cultural level of our people. Before the overall sale of the old Nanchang universities, some teachers were transferred to enrich our teaching team, realizing the leapfrog development of education.

"Up to now, Qiancheng has developed into an industrial and commercial center city with influence radiating Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou and Hubei, after insisting on accepting the resettlement of disaster victims for many years, the total population of Xiangxi has exceeded 8 million, and the light and heavy industries are complete, Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Research Institute is one of the pharmaceutical research institutions with the highest level of medical research in China, and Xiangxi Pharmaceutical Factory has been able to produce most of the Chinese and Western medicines at home and abroad.

"Especially our Xiangxi Arsenal, in order to meet the needs of the future Anti-Japanese War nearby supplement, the weapons we produce are the most complete of all the arsenals in the southwest, with a monthly output of 20,000 Zhongzheng one, two, and three pistols and rifles, 5 million 7.62 caliber bullets, 50,000 grenades, 20,000 grenades, 50,000 mines, 5,000 Zhongzheng one, two, and three submachine guns, 5 million 9mm Mauser pistol bullets, 1,000 20 mm cannons, 50,000 matching bullets, and Zhongzheng 1 shotgun rifles. 10,000 rounds of ammunition, 2,000 Zhongzheng 5 general-purpose machine guns, 500 Zhongzheng 5 air-cooled heavy machine guns and Makqin heavy machine guns, 1,000 50 caliber smoothbore mortars, 5,000 matching shells, 1,000 60 mortars, 5,000 matching shells, 500 imitation 81 mortars, 2,000 matching shells, 200 120 mortars, 1,000 matching shells, 200 37 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 matching shells, 200 75 field artillery and 200 mountain artillery, It was equipped with 5,000 rounds of artillery shells of various types, 200 120 heavy howitzers and 2,000 shells, and 200 88-mm anti-aircraft guns with 2,000 shells. If it weren't for the extreme constraints on the supply of steel and the need for strict production plans, I believe that production could have at least doubled. It can be said that the Xiangxi Arsenal has become a center for the production of various types of weapons for the Anjia Army, which will certainly greatly enhance the strength of our army and deal a blow to the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhang Hongluan's words caused a heated discussion.

Once the Hunan-Guizhou Railway is fully completed, the geographical location of Xiangxi will become more important, and it will become the bridgehead of the Southwest Alliance to resist Japan in Sichuan and the most important military base to support the War of Resistance.

An Yi made up his mind, and immediately after the meeting ended, he exchanged views with Zhang Hongluan to improve the security and anti-infiltration level of Xiangxi, with the full outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiangxi will become a thorn in the eye of all princes and *** forces coveted by the fat and *** people, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks will follow.
