Chapter 117: Control (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The confidential conference room is a conference room that can accommodate more than 20 people in the unified supervision office, and all the people who can participate in the meeting here are the important members of the central government and the company, but the guards outside the conference room today seem a little strange, because today's meeting is a little different. The dignitaries of the entire departments and companies of the Unified Supervision Office all sat in the conference room with solemn expressions, which was something that had never happened before.

In the past, this meeting was either a government official and a small number of company executives, or the other way around, and that kind of meeting was just a coordination meeting, but what is going on today?

The guards outside the conference room were sensitively aware that this was an important meeting, and there was hardly a sound to be heard in the conference hall at this time, and the atmosphere was so tense that people couldn't breathe.

Not only did the guards have this awareness, but even the participants realized that this was the prelude to an important decision to be made in the house. However, no one knew what kind of decision it was, and everyone seemed a little dazed, and it was not until the adults came that everyone realized that Yiqiē was about to find out!

"The content of today's meeting is very simple, just about North Korea and the next step of the company's development!"

While sitting down, Tang Haoran spit out a sentence, and then looked at everyone, his expression seemed a little dignified, is it simple?

It's not easy!

If this qiē is implemented, the entire history of East Asia will be changed as a result.

In the past period of time, Tang Haoran has been thinking about two issues - stabbing Louzi and development, these two seemingly unrelated issues eventually overlap and become a problem. Ultimately. History gave him the answer to the problem.

"Your Excellency. I wonder what the adults command? ”

Song Yuxin asked tentatively. As the company's chairman of the board of supervisors, although he has invested a lot of energy in education, he is a senior executive of the company after all, although most of the time, he will not ask about the affairs of the branch, but when he hears the word "company", his brow still jumps slightly.

Tang Haoran did not answer his words, but signaled the confidential secretary to pass the text to everyone one by one. While everyone was looking at the text, he cleared his throat and said:

"Now, as we all know, the interests of Fuchung and the company are aligned when it comes to North Korea's development, and unlike any other company in history, Fuchung is also the main shareholder of the company, and the company is not only responsible for ensuring the interests of investors and the profits of the company, but more often than not, the company must take into account the development of North Korea."

Staring at the crowd. Tang Haoran explained the difference between the company, and 30% of the shares of Beiyang Company are held by Fuzhong. 20% is held by Huayang, another 25% is held by itself, and the rest of the shares are scattered in the hands of thousands of private shareholders, who range from Fuzhong officials to company executives, including almost all the managers above the level of section chief of Fuzhong Company. It is precisely this kind of shareholding that makes the interests of everyone tied together for a long time.

"So, after thinking about it for the sake of North Korea and the company, we must break the old way of development and implement a new economic model, and promote the development of the North Korea and the company based on it."

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran spit out a sentence.

"That is, economic control!"

Looking at the people who seemed to be a little confused, Tang Haoran then explained:

"What is economic control? It is a kind of "planned economy", that is, an economic system in which production, resource distribution, and product consumption are planned in advance. It is the government that solves the three basic economic problems, and the so-called three economic problems are: what to produce, how to produce, and for whom. Most of these resources are owned by the government, and the allocation of resources by the government's directives is not influenced by the market. ”

When explaining the "economic control" like everyone, Tang Haoran's face showed more and more solemn expressions. The introduction of a planned economy, or a controlled economy, is aimed at speeding up economic development, and on the other hand, of course, it is also for the purpose of "stabbing Lou Zi."

Compared with the radical promotion of the New Deal, which caused chaos and "drinking water to quench thirst", economic control that is more conducive to development and construction is undoubtedly a better choice, and this can also cause a certain amount of chaos in a certain way, but this kind of chaos is controllable and acceptable, and what the government needs to do is to exaggerate the chaos.

"My lord, what my lord means is not affected by the market, does it mean that the price of goods is controlled by the government, not by the market?"

Although he was not a competent businessman, Song Yuxin was the first to realize the meaning of "not being influenced by the market".

"Sure, you can understand that, but it's not just about the price!"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran continued to explain:

"As you have seen, there are two basic principles in the Outline for the Economic Construction of the DPRK: First, important undertakings of a national defense or public interest nature should be operated by public or chartered companies, and second, other economic matters such as industries and resources should be entrusted to the private sector to operate freely, but necessary adjustments should be made to both production and consumption. According to these two basic principles, there are 22 types of departments under control: special banks, postal services, railways, telegraphs, telephones, mining, iron and steel, smelting, and electric power, 24 types of semi-controlled departments, such as ordinary banks, insurance, local railways, textiles, shipping, fisheries, and tobacco, and 20 types of industries that are allowed to operate freely, such as agriculture and animal husbandry, agricultural product processing industry, rice making, oil and fat, leather, and machinery industry......

with the later generations of red countries to implement; In terms of the form of economic operation, a social center allocates social resources with a unified national economic plan, and organizes the production, distribution, and consumption of the whole society.

Compared with the problems of the planned economy, which cannot solve the problem of resource allocation and low efficiency (1), it is undoubtedly more flexible and more in line with the laws of the market, and it also has the advantages of the planned economy -- with a pair of tangible hands, it can rationally use the existing human, material and financial resources within the entire national economy, and save resources to the greatest extent and avoid waste while developing the economy; Ability to actively adopt and disseminate the results of contemporary science and technology in a planned and step-by-step manner; It can adapt to the requirements of socialized large-scale production, so that the distribution of productive forces is coordinated.

Next, Tang Haoran explained the necessity of implementing economic control one by one, but of course, in the end, economic control returned to another issue -- the suppression of North Korea.

“…… Generally speaking, one of the prerequisites for the establishment of a controlled economy is to implement the control of the industries under control, such as the unified purchase and sale of agricultural and animal husbandry products in the DPRK, such as rice, wheat, cowhides, and other agricultural and sideline products, which are purchased at the prices set by the government......

After saying this, Tang Haoran deliberately emphasized again.

"At present, the rice monopoly in the south of Korea is in the hands of Japanese merchants, and their purchase of cheap rice has even affected the demand for rice in the special zones and mining areas, so that we have to rely on the import of Vietnamese rice, which is the necessity of implementing economic control.

Fuzhong had a plan for North Korea's rice production, which produced more than 4 million tons, and Tang Haoran's goal was 1.5 million to 2 million tons, that is, in addition to the rations of the North Korean people, the rest of the rice should be mainly exported in exchange for industrial funds, and Tianjin, Shanghai and other places close at hand are the export markets of North Korean rice, and its profits are as high as millions of taels.

"Not to mention rice, it's this 180,000 pieces of cowhide, if you calculate it carefully, the profit of more than 400,000 taels is almost 400,000 taels for unified purchase......"

As the vice president of the Beiyang Trading Company, Li Yumin looked at the control of cowhide mentioned in the text, and began to calculate the profits in his heart, even if those local Korean and Japanese businessmen were standing opposite him now, he would support the implementation of the control economy without pity, which would make the company more profitable.

"It is also possible to order officials to plant mulberry trees, promote silkworm raising, and develop the silk industry while controlling silk ......"

Because of his engagement in international trade, Li Yumin is more aware of the benefits of economic control than others, and it is a monopoly in the market, and through the monopoly of the market, the company can set a lower price to purchase all kinds of raw materials, and then export them abroad at a cheap price to compete with foreign products.

It is also possible to monopolize foreign trade, raise the price of imported goods in addition to the agreed tariffs, and force businessmen to buy relatively cheap domestic goods.

If this method had been implemented as early as last year, how could Fuzhong have suffered from a lack of funds in the early days? Apparently for Li Yumin, he did not realize that the basis for economic control had not been introduced last year, and now was the right time - the authority of the government had been established in Fuchu, and Japan was unable to provide diplomatic protection to its own merchants, as far as domestic merchants were concerned......

"My lord, this economic control is certainly beneficial to the government and the company, but, my lord, what about the state-owned businessmen in various places? The imposition of economic control will also infringe on their interests......"

One of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Local Affairs is to protect state business, and the current economic control will undoubtedly harm their interests.

"You know, we used promises to attract them to North Korea! Isn't the implementation of economic control a breach of trust that harms the interests of state business? (To be continued......)
