Chapter 187: The Wind Rises
On Tuesday, the dog had just offended the authorities because of Zu Jing's matter, and General Cai Tingkai sent someone from Hong Kong to contact him, planning to go to Harbin, hoping that the dog would arrange safety matters along the way. Harbin is an area occupied by the communist army, and Cai Tingkai's actions are undoubtedly an act of surrendering to the enemy in the eyes of the national government. Tuesday Dog did not hesitate, no matter what position he held, the old chief's choice had his own reasons, so Tuesday Dog decisively sent Shi Ji Lun to personally preside over the arrangement, and arranged for Zhong Limin's shipping brigade, Liu Maoer's Jiangyun brigade, and Liu Qinghe's Jiangbei Transportation Company to pick up Cai Tingkai and his party to go north.
With the cooperation and intervention of the mother of the country, Wu Mu Company's soft and hard measures helped Cai Tingkai and others break through layers of pipe cards and finally arrived in Harbin. On Tuesday, the dog also angered the chairman and other high-level bigwigs of the state government even more, and the government decided to give Wumu a little color to see.
Due to the departure of a large number of employees, the grassroots management has been weakened, the slack work of the Chinese people, the lazy surname of stealing tricks has appeared, and various quality problems have been constantly exposed, which has constituted a major obstacle to the industrialization of Wumu Company, which makes Tuesday Dog, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi and others miss the employees who work meticulously.
At this time, Lu Ao led a large number of employees to return to Wumu Company. It turned out that Lu Ao was doing well in Yueben, because he had extraordinary contacts with the high-level military circles in Yueben and had extensive contacts in China, so after the war, he relied on his dual identity in Yueben and mixed up with the identity of the chairman of the Zhongyue Non-governmental Liaison Association, and handled a large number of affairs such as searching for separated personnel, technical cooperation with enterprises, and handling property disputes in China. Due to the post-war depression in the local area of Wumu and the bullying of American soldiers, a large number of employees of Wumu Company who returned to Yueben found Lu Ao according to the prior instructions of Wumu Company and asked to return to Wumu Company to work.
Lu Ao justifiably arranged for these people to return to Wumu Company, and by the way, he mobilized a group of elites from the industrial and scientific research circles who could not bear the bullying of the Americans to return to China, and he also took them back to Wumu Company to save relatives.
With the strong support of Tuesday Dog, the employees returned to important positions such as quality management, implemented strict industrial management, and trained a group of strict Chinese management personnel by the employees, and the work of Wumu Company returned to normal progress.
On the other hand, the government also caught the hard handle of Wumu Company: the reason why the government gave Wumu Company tax exemption was to solve the employment and other living problems of Wumu Army personnel after the war, but it did not include the prisoners of war, Wumu Army Former Arsenal and other factory and mining enterprise staff and the staff recruited later, so Wumu Company should enjoy tax exemption according to the proportion of personnel enjoying tax exemption treatment, and the rest should pay taxes according to the regulations!
Paying taxes to the government of [***] is more painful than digging up the meat of the dog on Tuesday, so the dog held a board meeting on Tuesday to discuss how to deal with the government's demands.
Lu Yuxi and Tong Hai were already financial experts at this time, and they quickly came up with a countermeasure: the personnel who did not enjoy the tax exemption policy were transferred to the Wumu Technology Management Company and the Wumu Labor Service Company, and then the disabled servicemen of the Wu Mujun who enjoyed the greater tax exemption policy were incorporated into the two companies, and the tax amount of the two companies that should be taxed proportionally was reduced to a negligible amount, which made Kong Xiangxi, the planner of the government's tax forcing plan, happy.
In view of the sharp depreciation of the fiat currency, the refusal to accept fiat currency can be paid in hard currency such as gold, silver, US dollars, and pounds, or compensated with the materials required by Wumu Company.
On the issue of refusing to accept fiat currency, the government has caught the handle again: fiat currency is legal tender, and refusing to accept fiat currency is an act that disrupts the country's financial order.
Wu Mu Company replied that Wu Mu Company can accept fiat currency, but Wu Mu Company due to the shortage of goods, the order has been set to 50 years later, please place an order as soon as possible, pay a deposit in advance, and you can withdraw the required materials after 50 years!
As the manager of the printing plant, Wu Lei made a fool of the government again: he poured a sum of money in the name of accepting small fiat currency transactions, and then sent the small fiat currency to the paper mill for processing and reconstruction, and actually made a lot of profits!
In the face of the fact that the fiat currency had no credit, the government had no choice but to agree to trade with the Wumu Company in the form of material exchange: second-hand cars, bulldozers, tractors, landing craft, repair boats, and patrol boats that had been scrapped several times in the US-aided materials, and scrapped combat vehicles, tanks, and Wumu Company were exchanged for grain at a ratio of 1:2-5 times their weight, and cloth, steel, machinery, and other materials at a ratio of 1:5-20.
Through intelligence analysis, Dog and others found that the United States had accumulated a large amount of military supplies due to the end of the war, which had become a burden, and had also set up a special unit called the "War Weapons Management Agency". Leto? Major General John contacted and exchanged Penicillium powder and high-speed steel produced by Wumu Company for a large number of "garbage materials": flashlights, candles, medical bandages, interference aluminum belts, sewing machines, medical equipment, military blankets, meat grinders, repair tools, tracked combat vehicles that are better and cheaper than tractors, convenient and fast cargo lifts, waste tires, and obsolete equipment......
The import of industrial products and industrial equipment made the Wumu Company make a fortune, which made the government salivate, so it planned to take the opportunity of issuing gold yuan bills to let the Wumu Company make some blood.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the state government did not actively carry out political reforms, develop production and restore the national economy and people's livelihood, but instead started a civil war in a big way, so the backward and stagnant productive forces could not bear the huge war consumption, and the state government's finances were no longer overstretched and full of holes. As a result, at the suggestion of certain "masters", the government carried out a monetary reform and replaced the extremely inflated fiat currency with gold yuan bills, in an attempt to stabilize the people's hearts with a superficial article that changed the soup but not the medicine.
The government issued the "Fiscal and Economic Emergency Punishment Order" by presidential order, stipulating that the total issuance limit of gold yuan bills is 2 billion yuan of gold yuan bills, and the ratio of 3 million yuan of legal tender to 1 yuan of alloy round bills and 300,000 yuan of Northeast circulation bills to 1 yuan of alloy round bills is limited to the exchange of issued legal tender and Northeast circulation bills. Redemption of all gold, silver, silver coins and foreign currency bills of the people within a time limit; Register and manage the foreign exchange assets deposited abroad by the people of the country within a time limit. In accordance with the above gist, the "Measures for the Issuance of Gold Yuan Bills," "Measures for the Handling of Foreign Currencies for All Gold and Silver Owned by the People," "Measures for the Registration and Administration of Foreign Exchange Assets Deposited by the People of the Republic of China," and "Measures for Reorganizing the Fiscal Situation and Strengthening Economic Control" were promulgated at the same time, and at the same time prices were frozen.
Lu Yuxi immediately took advantage of this opportunity to exchange the fiat currency at hand for gold yuan coupons, and then the so-called state-owned companies bought a large number of materials that could be bought or settle debts, and as for the gold and silver and foreign currencies, they did not move a penny, and at the same time carried out large-scale black market transactions.
This kind of reform can only deceive the middle and lower classes of society and the petty bourgeoisie, and those big capitalists and financial speculators who are well versed in the way of management are not fooled, and they all cling to hard currencies such as gold, silver, and foreign currencies. As a result, the state government sent economic supervisors to major cities to supervise the issuance of gold yuan bills, and Shanghai, as the country's financial center, was supervised by the prince of the chairman's family as the deputy supervisor, who actually had a good grasp of Shanghai's economic situation, and forcibly implemented gold yuan bills and confiscated gold, silver, and foreign currency.
The "prince" relied on a tough backstage to punish those wealthy businessmen who did not buy the state accounts, including Du Yuesheng's son, Du Weiping, who was the manager of Zhonghui Bank at the time. The prince "iron-faced and selfless" sentenced Du Weiping, who hoarded goods and speculated in stocks, to six months in prison.
Tuesday, the dog was indignant when he learned about it, and declared in public: Isn't it just killing chickens and scaring monkeys, and it can't be committed to attacking Uncle Du, who has made great contributions to your father and son, right?
The prince heard the disrespectful words of the dog on Tuesday, and decided to shoot the first bird and take the dog on Tuesday to shoot again!
The crown prince had a businesslike posture, and actually sent a team of heavily armed policemen to "invite" Tuesday Dog to the office to "talk", which was much more iron-faced and selfless than his father!
The Prince's way of doing so disgusted Tuesday Dog was also a hint of banter.
"Commander-in-Chief Zhou, Chairman Zhou, it's been a long time!" The prince's semi-official, half-acquaintance attitude was very decent.
Tuesday Dog slammed the prince to the ground: "Supervisor Xie showed mercy to his subordinates and didn't handcuff and shackle Tuesday Dog, which preserved the dignity of the Zhou family and Wu Mu Company!" ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, savoring the words in the words of the dog on Tuesday, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of the dog on Tuesday for a while, so he had to wave his hand casually: "Brother Zhou's words are serious, it's not so serious!" ”
"Not that serious?" On Tuesday, the dog's face sank, "The police took away the chairman of Wumu Company, what does the society think?" What does the business community think? Who would dare to do business with Wumu Company? What do hundreds of thousands of people in Wumu Company eat plus hundreds of thousands of people in their families and partners? ”
Seeing that the dog questioned himself unabashedly on Tuesday, the prince also turned his heart and hardened his attitude: "Sending the police to invite you is naturally for a reason!" According to investigation, Wu Mu Company has resisted the reform of the Golden Yuan Bill! ”
"I want to hear about it!" Tuesday the dog was calm.
"Wu Mu Company hoarded a large amount of gold, silver and foreign currency, hoarded materials, participated in black market transactions, and resisted the political axe financial reform! Do you want me to show you some specific investigation reports and evidence? "The prince thinks that the evidence is conclusive, so he is justified.
"Lord Qingtian, Wu Mu Company immediately exchanged a large amount of fiat currency for gold yuan coupons after the political axe issued an order, and participated in market circulation, and used gold yuan coupons to purchase a lot of materials, how can Wu Mu company sabotage financial reform?"
"Yes, the policy that is beneficial to Wu Mu Company Wu Mu Company has not wasted it at all, it is not enough to exchange the depreciated fiat currency for strong gold yuan coupons, and it is also taking advantage of the price limit to immediately exchange gold yuan coupons from state-owned companies into materials, which makes a lot of profits, right? Fame and fortune are both gained, and all the faces are occupied! Brilliant! The prince was not stupid, and coldly revealed the mystery of the dog on Tuesday, "But what's the matter with hoarding gold, silver, and foreign currency?" What about hoarding supplies? What about black market trading? ”
"Let's break it one by one," Tuesday Dog was unhurried, "The deadline for the exchange of gold and silver foreign currencies has not yet arrived, how can it be said that Wu Mu Company is hoarding gold and silver foreign currency?" It's not a side! As for hoarding materials and black market transactions, it is the duty of businessmen to pursue profits, and materials are mine, of course I have the power to decide on buying and selling, black market transactions are a last resort, who let the bastard government issue a bastard price limit order, doesn't this make us bankrupt? Do you want our people to live? ”
"Are you admitting that Wu Mu Company has violated the law?" The prince got the handle.
"What would you choose between breaking the law and starving to death?" On Tuesday, the dog asked rhetorically, and then openly stated: "This kind of bastard law that makes ordinary people starve to death is illegal, how about it?" ”
"You..."The prince was furious, but he really didn't dare to do anything to the dog on Tuesday, so he had to change to a consultative tone, "Chairman Zhou, at present, the national disaster is at hand, everyone still has to work together in the same boat!" Focus on the big picture! ”
"Bad! The government is a boat, and we people are water, so how can we help each other in the same boat? What's the use of starving people? On Tuesday, the surname Gou Suo opened the skylight and said brightly, "What does this broken ship of the national government have to do with Lao Tzu?" Lao Tzu just wants hundreds of thousands of brothers to have something to eat! ”
"In fact, I also understand that Chairman Zhou is also worried about the country and the people, and he is compassionate and compassionate!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince hurriedly changed his tone, "But after all, you have to cooperate with the political axe to make a difference!" ”
"Well, let's make it clear today! I think that at the beginning, thousands of sons and daughters of my Wumu Chamber of Commerce did not ask for one person and one gun from the country, and they joined the War of Resistance one after another, fighting devils, rescuing defeated soldiers, robbing materials, grabbing land, building factories, and cultivating fields, how much credit did they make to the government and [***]? How much material, personnel and equipment have been provided? Even you have received a lot of equipment from my Wu Mu Army, right? ”
"Yes, Wu Mujun has made a lot of contributions to the country, but didn't the state exempt Wu Mu Company from taxes for 20 years? This is also worthy of Wu Mujun, right? The prince caught the reason again.
"Yes, the government is worthy of Wu Mujun at this point!" Tuesday Dog did not deny it, but there were more reasons, "During the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Mujun's military exploits are not mentioned for the time being, how many times has Wu Mujun been plotted and excluded by the state government and [***], do we need to count it?" It is true that the government has exempted Wu Mu Company from taxes for 20 years, but how many times have corrupt officials and corrupt officials of all sizes deliberately exploited Wu Mu Company for extortion, do we need to calculate it? How many times have corrupt officials and bureaucrats at all levels made things difficult and set up obstacles for Wumu Company, do we need to count them? You say, do I want to be grateful to the government? ”
"Chairman Zhou, don't hit a boatload of people with a rod! At the very least, I didn't ask for half a cent from Wumu Company! The prince hurried to find an opportunity to clear himself.
"You're tougher than them! As soon as this bastard policy is introduced, my Wumu company will have to go bankrupt and dig up the pots and pans that the brothers of Wumu company eat! ”
"I'm the duty too!" The prince defended himself.
"To tell you the truth, I'm already very chilled by the government, but I just want to lead the brothers to eat, and I don't want to cause trouble, so don't force me!" On Tuesday, the dog ** warned the prince nakedly, "If you provoke me, Lao Tzu will pull the pole and occupy the mountain as the king!" ”
"How does Chairman Zhou want to solve this problem?" The prince tested Tuesday's dog's bottom line.
"Wu Mu Company will never hand over gold and silver and foreign currency! The devil knows what credit the Golden Yuan Coupon has, and he can't let the brothers' hard-earned money go down the drain! "The dog made a clear statement on Tuesday.
"Chairman Zhou is bad, the government is determined to rectify the financial order, and the golden yuan coupon will definitely guarantee credit! I dare to take the head guarantee! The prince swore an oath.
Tuesday Dog looked at the prince's head with disdain, "Your head doesn't have such a high credit, you can't afford to guarantee it!" You are just an executor, I want all decision-makers to guarantee in writing with a head guarantee, if the issuance of the golden yuan coupon fails, they will hang their heads in the country and ask the people for their guilt! ”
"That's a good idea, but I don't have the power to decide!" The prince was still a little personable, "However, regarding the credit issue of the Golden Yuan Coupon, please also ask Chairman Zhou to observe for a period of time before making a decision, I am waiting for your good news!" The prince finally took his steps to retract what he had said.
However, on Tuesday, the dog was not finished, "Do you think I should hold a press conference to clarify the matter of the police taking me away today?" If it doesn't have a big impact on Wumu Company! ”
"No need, I'll send you home in person, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating!" The prince had to deign to send the dog back to the company to end the game.
During this period, on Tuesday, the dog raised the question of Du Weiping again, and the prince explained that in order to protect the prestige of the national government, the verdict should not be changed, and afterwards he personally went to the prison or court to pick up Du Weiping and send him back to the Du Mansion, where he was executed outside of prison and apologized to Mr. Du.
Back at the company, on Tuesday the dog ordered Shu Jintang to hurry up the production of steel grain chips and prepare for the failure of the issuance of golden yuan bonds.
Sure enough, within a few days, the crown prince resigned in anger from all sides of the government, especially the old man and the first lady, and the government was forced to announce that it would abandon the price limit policy, allow the people to hold gold and silver foreign currency, and increase the exchange rate with the gold yuan. As soon as the price limit policy was canceled, prices soared again, and the value of the golden yuan bonds depreciated sharply.
Not only that, Tong Hai also joined forces with Du Weiping, Kong Lingkan and others to take advantage of the difference between the official price of the US dollar and the black market to smuggle all kinds of American goods, such as automobiles, flour, kerosene, cigarettes, horse lanterns, soap, matches, coffee, condensed milk, milk powder, cameras, and shotguns、...... Purchasing from Europe and the United States at the official price of US dollars, selling them at the price of black market US dollars or gold and silver, making a fortune, obtaining a large amount of foreign currency for Wu Mu Company, and bringing strong support to Wu Mu Company's international trade.
With the rapid depreciation of the Golden Yuan Bills, the situation of [***] has also plummeted, and the Battle of Western Liaoning (Liaoshen Campaign), the Battle of Xu Beng (Huaihai Campaign), and the Battle of Pingjin (Pingjin Campaign) have been lost one after another, losing their troops and losing their land, and the chairman of the committee has also been forced to step down from the presidential throne.
The communist army was also officially named the Chinese People's Liberation Army
On Tuesday, the dog has been deaf to the world's affairs, just like falling into the eyes of money, just take the brothers of Wumu Company to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and with the change of the situation, he had to convene all the cadres again to judge the situation and re-evaluate and judge the direction of Wumu Company.
