Danji's green yarn tent is in the plains! Stretching for dozens of miles, the scenery was so well remembered that the passengers on the car woke up from their drowsiness and ran to the green gauze tent outside the window.

In the middle of the green gauze tent is a dusty avenue, and although only horse-drawn carts and mule carts usually pass from here, there is now a convoy of cars driving on this dirt road in the countryside. It is not fast, but it is convenient for the passengers of the train to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road.

"Column, column, look over there, that is the green yarn tent, think back then, the horse bandits in the three eastern provinces are hiding in the green yarn tent, every spring and summer, it is often the time when the horse bandits are active. At that time, the horse bandits relented. ”

Listening to the introduction of the officer in the same car, Liu Renxiang smiled, he had heard this kind of statement a long time ago. He had seen the green gauze tent a long time ago, actually. He had been to the Northeast this time last year. I also met a few locals who had been bandits back then, and that time Liu Renxiang went to Shenyang to inspect the real estate trade.

Last year, he returned empty-handed from Shenyang, because the land price was high at that time, Liu Renxiang was short of funds at hand, and he couldn't get so much money for a while, but this year, as soon as the Sino-Japanese war was fought, the land price in Shenyang fell straight down. Liu Renxiang began to pay close attention to the land in the northeast and was ready to do a big job, but he did not take advantage of the war to buy much land at a low price, because at that time he had to go to Tianjin to contact the Japanese side as a secret envoy to the peace talks of Mr. President. At that time, he stayed in Tianjin with the Ministry of Tingbi, the two of them were delayed in Tianjin for a lot of days, and after they left Tianjin, the war had almost been fought, and at that time, because the Chinese side was winning, the price of land in the northeast rose again, Liu Renxiang could only look at the soaring land price and stare dryly.

Since he is doing things for the president, the president will naturally not be treated badly, knowing Liu Renxiang's distress, Mr. President waved his pen and handed over a big deal to Liu Renxiang, so Liu Renxiang rushed to the northeast. Travel to Benxi, Liaoning.

The deal handed over to Liu Renxiang by the president is not a real estate business, but an industry, to be specific. It's a steel and coal business.

In the "four-year industrial exhibition total". The central government organized businessmen to establish a coal and steel complex in Benxi, Liaoning, considering that this is Japan's sphere of influence, therefore, the scale of this iron and steel enterprise is not large, and the capital is not much, so when the war began, the businessmen began to sell their shares in the iron and steel plant at a low price because they were worried that the Japanese army would attack Benxi, the central government instructed the Ministry of Finance to use reserve funds to buy all these private shares, so as to grasp 90% of the equity of the entire iron and steel enterprise, in fact, The current Benxi Iron and Steel Complex is already state-owned.

Although the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce both want to directly control the Benxi Iron and Steel Complex and control its management rights, the president has very stubbornly vetoed the proposal to nationalize the iron and steel plant, and he still adheres to the principle of private ownership unswervingly, so the Ministry of Finance has to prepare to transfer all the equity in its possession to the private sector in accordance with the president's order. As a transitional management, the company will be developed first. After the stock price rises, the equity held by the Ministry of Finance will be sold to Minbai

The president promised that during the operation period, half of the profits obtained after deducting the costs would be handed over to this custodian, so it was indeed a big deal for Liu Renxiang. A big deal that doesn't lose money.

The reason why Liu Renxiang thinks that it is a steady profit and no loss. It is because of the current situation in Europe that the price of steel has skyrocketed since the start of the war in Europe. At this time, investing in iron and steel enterprises is undoubtedly a very wise investment choice, but because the investment in iron and steel enterprises is too large, there are not many businessmen and consortia who have the ability to invest, even if they are real estate kings like Liu Renxiang, they cannot invest in any iron and steel enterprises alone.

In fact, Liu Renxiang was very happy to inject funds into the Benxi Iron and Steel Complex and buy some stocks, but the Ministry of Finance did not do it, and the Ministry of Finance's offer was too high, more than twice as high as the current opening price in the securities market, and the president also supported the Ministry of Finance's profiteer policy, so in the end, Liu Renxiang could only organize a custodian institution first, and use one or two years to develop the enterprise first.

According to the president's speculation, this war in Europe is likely to last for several years, and the price of steel in the international market will continue to rise, so. The president doesn't think the Treasury Department's offer is outrageous. However, in the face of the assurances of European governments that "the war will be ended in a short period of time", businessmen around the world generally have a wait-and-see mood, so no businessman dares to respond to the offer of the Ministry of Finance, and even the wealthy Ministry Tingbi is currently waiting.

Although the president agreed that Liu Renxiang would come forward to organize a trusteeship to manage the steel complex, this was not a trick of the white wolf with empty gloves. The president has the condition, that is, he demands that he be on par with the international advanced level in terms of technology and management. It is precisely because of this that Liu Renxiang finally brought in several American managers through his connections, all of whom had served as technical supervisors or managers in American steel companies, and were very good at managing steel companies. With their assistance, this Benxi Iron and Steel Complex will definitely not lose money.

And Liu Renxiang must also be responsible for providing funds for the expansion of iron and steel enterprises, which is also a considerable amount of money. Moreover, several peers of the Fierce Voyage Stock are also involved in this investment project

Now Liu Renxiang seems to be changing from a speculative businessman to an industrialist and industrialist, not because of his personality, but purely because of the current situation, because the president himself told him. After a while, the central government will formulate a new law, according to this law, real estate, especially real estate, will begin to be subject to progressive taxes, the more real estate you own, the more taxes you need to pay, as a real estate speculator, it is impossible for Liu Renxiang not to understand what this means, so. He made a rational decision to get out of the real estate business immediately. so as not to become a victim of the central killer chicken and monkey in the future.

Liu Renxiang's emotions are complicated for the president's kind reminder, and he is grateful for the president's preferential treatment. But at the same time, he is also worried about this progressive tax on real estate, and he knows very well that this progressive tax on real estate is not specifically aimed at real estate speculators like him, in fact, the president really wants to hit those landlords who own large real estate.

In the past, it has been said that sooner or later the president will go after the big estate, but how to do it. No one can say clearly, but now, at least Liu Renxiang is clear.

It is conceivable that once this policy is implemented, the impact on the whole society will be far-reaching, perhaps the owners of those large real estate can take advantage of loopholes to disperse the real estate, but as long as the real estate is dispersed, the purpose of the center will basically be achieved.

This method of progressive taxation of real estate alone is not enough to change the social structure and economic outlook of the countryside, Liu Renxiang has been speculating, he believes that the center should have some supporting policies, as for what it is, the president did not tell him, he really can't guess.

In any case, it is necessary to withdraw from the real estate and devote himself to industrial construction, which is not only a wise choice for Liu Renxiang, but also what the center has been encouraging, in the center's view, businessmen put money into the speculative industry, not only will damage the interests of the people at the bottom of the society, but also make the country's industry unable to get enough development funds, so the introduction of a progressive tax on this real estate. Liu Renxiang is not surprised at all, this can indeed play a role in curbing land speculation.

It is with this sentiment that Liu Renxiang came to Liaoning, if it was placed in the past, he came to buy land, but now, he is here to invest in industrial construction.

In addition to the American technical experts and professional managers, Liu Renxiang was accompanied by a group of industrialists who came from all over the country, who, like Liu Renxiang, were all ready to invest in industrial projects in Liaoning, some of whom would invest in coal mines, and some of whom would invest in railways, highways, hydropower stations, and logging industries.

Now that the Sino-Japanese war has ended, and throughout the war, China's local forces have fully taken over Japanese-funded enterprises in the northeast, from railways to butterfly mines, from match factories to imitation weaving factories, almost all the enterprises invested by Japanese consortia and businessmen have been controlled by the Chinese Ministry of Finance, and now. The Ministry of Finance intends to auction off these Japanese-funded enterprises, and these Chinese industrialists also came to Liaoning for inspection.

The convoy was arranged by the provincial government. There are also guards with the car, the convoy is from Liaoyang, the destination is Benxi, the reason why the highway instead of the railway, is mainly to facilitate the industrialists to inspect the water conservancy situation of the Taizi River, in the future here to build several small hydropower stations, to provide a strong impetus for Liaoning's industry, according to the central planning, the current water conservancy construction gives priority to small water conservancy facilities, as for the large-scale water conservancy construction, mainly concentrated on the Yellow River.

By noon, the convoy finally drove into Benxi City, and to the surprise of the industrialists, it was not the mayor who came to welcome them, but the vice president of the Republic of China, Zhang Mu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang has officially assumed the post of vice president, and now, Zhang is the director of the Water Resources Administration, and the future water conservancy undertaking will be under Zhang's control.

This time, for the sake of Liaoning's water conservancy construction, I took the train network to Benxi yesterday. Today, I heard that all the industrialists who invested in water conservancy construction came to investigate, and Zhang came to take a look. It is also good to discuss the future water conservancy construction exhibition in Liaoning. ”

Zhang Xiao explained, and everyone was stunned.

The Vice President stepped down because his term had expired. But it would be a mistake to think that the president should also leave office.

Not only did the president not leave office, but according to Zhang Liao. The Preparatory Committee for the Seven Politics has been formally formed, and in a few days, the President will officially announce his policy.

In fact, Zhang Han's visit to Liaoning this time also shouldered the task of waving the flag and shouting for the government, and he is now the president of the Liaoning Provincial Political Promotion Association.

Regarding Zhang Han's appointment as the president of the Political Promotion Association, Liu Renxiang felt very incredible. He knew the details of Vice President Zhang, who was the leader of the National League, a person who was the president's political opponent, and who had been fighting openly and secretly with each other in the past few years. But now, Vice President Zhang has suddenly changed his sex. It's time to raise the flag for the president's government. Although the politics are unpredictable, the current situation has inevitably become too fast, Liu Renxiang is a little uncomfortable, and he is even looking forward to the president officially announcing the government, in that case. Perhaps he will see more political vagitude.

This era is indeed full of variables and opportunities.
