Chapter 689
As mentioned earlier, in the face of such a huge scale, compared with it, although the cost and price of the aircraft are obviously much higher, but after all, an aircraft can bring a lot of profits, not to mention that during the entire European War, the Entente was destroyed by Germany A large number of planes, as well as those pilots with a lot of experience, most of the people who went up behind were some rookies.
Therefore, although they already had aircraft comparable to the Germans in terms of performance, in terms of actual records, compared with the Allies, the results of the Entente were still very ugly.
Having said that, the Entente countries still recognized the performance of the aircraft produced by the Yushi Group...
In the end, it wasn't just the amount stipulated in the agreement, but the Allies even bought more planes. And the large number of damage every year also makes this a very good business.
In addition, in the later period, the national government also specially produced some bombers, although they were only light, but the effect was also good. At least it looks like it can carry more than a ton of bombs ...
These bombers were also warmly welcomed by the Entente side, and the final result was that the aircraft manufacturing industry alone brought tens of millions of yuan in profits to the Yushi Group.
Due to the large number of patents owned by Yushi Group, other people who want to enter this industry are also unable to compete with Yushi Group.
In addition, there is shipbuilding, machine manufacturing, and even munitionsββββββ even today, the arsenal in Anhui is still the largest arsenal in the country. During the European War, this arsenal helped Yan Shao make a lot of money.
Plus the largest cotton textile mill in the country and so on and so forth...
There are also brands like Coca-Cola and Gillette...
For this carbonated drink. The Entente troops in Europe were still very welcome, after all, it was delicious, and it was not like wine. Easy to get banned. So this drink, which came from the United States, soon became popular throughout Europe.
In the end, not only the Entente side, but even the Allies were also obsessed with this drink, and privately reached an agreement with the Rainstone Group, and the Rainstone Group went to Germany to build a factory to specialize in the production of this kind of drink and supply it to the Allied troops on the front.
Although for a number of reasons. The production in the Allied countries was obviously not very good, but it still brought a lot of profits to the Yushi Group.
There are also Gillette razors.
In those days, when straight-handled razors were still the mainstay, almost every soldier had a headache with his beard. After all, it's too inconvenient to use a straight-handled razor, and compared to it, Gillette's razor seems to look very good in every way...
Historically, Gillette was during World War I. Started his own family history.
It's just because of Yan Shao's relationship. This time seems to be a few years in advanceββββββ originally this razor began with the entry of the American expeditionary force into Europe, but the time when the Chinese expeditionary force entered Europe was obviously faster than that of the United States...
And it is precisely because of this convenience that the razor has become one of the main military supplies exported to the Entente in the later period...
In addition to other miscellaneous products, by the way, Coca-Cola also developed products with flavors such as Sprite and Fanta, which were very popular.
On top of that, there's sporting goods and some luxury goods...
As the first sporting goods brand in China. At this time, the domestic economy was much stronger than the same period in history. In addition, there are various other reasons, such as the fact that there are many department stores in Japan. At present, Yushi, a sporting goods brand, has gotten rid of the loss state and is directly moving towards profitability. And because the advertising is good, the profit effect is still very good...
There are also some luxury goods, such as clothing, leather bags, etc., ββββββ how crazy a woman in later generations can be for a bag, compared to many people know...
In the case of e.g. cameras, etc...

In addition, although it was difficult to invest abroad in this colonial era, it was not impossible. At least in this world, there are still some places where you can invest, for example, in South America, in countries such as Iran...
With a large amount of money, Yushi Group has invested in a large number of mines in South America, especially the copper mine in Chile, which are resources that China urgently needs. Then there is the financial industry, in addition to the loans to domestic entrepreneurs, due to the European war, Rainstone Bank also gave a large amount of loans to the Entente countries, all of which are added together, I am afraid that there are hundreds of millions of pounds, which can bring huge profits to Rainstone Bank every year.
As Elaline said not long ago, it only takes a while for a while to earn back 100 million pounds of interest every yearββββββ of course, provided that Yan Shao has already borrowed at least a billion pounds of loans at that time...
However, there is a hidden danger of doing this, that is, what to do in case you encounter a situation where you do not pay your debts. After all, it's not a friend, neighbor, relative, or gambler's debt, it's a country...
If it's the previous ones, calling the police may be a solution, but if it's between countries...
Of course, if you don't consider the option of calling the police, in fact, the means of solving it are all the same. That is to beat the other party until the money is repaid!
It's just that the first one is just a fight between people, and the latter is a war between countries...
This is also one of the reasons why Elaline wants to work hard, after all, it is not only some small countries that owe money now, but also powerful countries such as Britain and France. If people really don't pay their debts, then you have to have the strength to knock out these two countries. Although the possibility of the other party not paying off the debt is very small, after all, this is related to the credibility of a country, but this is something that Yan Shao has to consider...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
From the above, it can be seen how many people's financial paths are blocked by a rain stone group.
The reason why those people are dissatisfied with Yan Shao is that in addition to political interests, I am afraid that it also has a lot to do with this. After all, if the Yushi Group can be overthrown, everyone can get a lot of benefits, and even ......... Is it simply state-owned?
It's not that no one has thought of this idea, it's just that because Yan Shao is there, they don't dare to say anything.
But after Yan Shao left for a long time, their mentality also changed somewhat.
And...
In addition to these people, there are many people in the Kuomintang who are somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Shao.
Some people feel that Yan Shao's current status in China is not reasonable, while some people feel that Yan Shao's position should be replaced by his own ββββββ which is not surprising, after all, people's ambitions are unlimited. In the same way, you can't expect everyone to be extremely loyal to Yan Shao.
When Yan Shao was there, they naturally didn't have the courage to say anything, but now that Yan Shao is gone, they...
Of course, they are not stupid, they know very well that with Yan Shao's current status, even if he is still abroad, if they dare to stand up against Yan Shao blatantly, they only need one sentence, and it will definitely be them and not Yan Shao who will die at that time.
So they didn't stand up against Yan Shao directly, but used another name, a smarter way...
Tenure...
Since the establishment of the Nationalist Government in 1913 to the present, with a term of office every 5 years, Yan Shao has ended his first term and has begun his second term, and they are making a fuss about this matter...
As mentioned earlier, at least during this period, the constitutional monarchy was still the mainstream of the world, but the presidential system and the cabinet system were non-mainstream. Contrary to what many people think, in fact, the US presidential system during this period did not have a term limitββββββ at least not explicitly stipulated in the law.
The reason for this was that on September 17, 1796, the first president, George, who was about to serve two terms. Washington famously delivered a farewell speech, announcing that he would not run for re-election, thus setting a precedent for a presidential term of no more than two terms. Subsequent presidents have basically formed an unwritten rule in this way, but in law, he does have no restrictions.
The 22nd amendment to the Constitution, which came into force until March 1951, stipulates: "No one shall serve more than two terms as President, and no one shall serve more than one term in office if he succeeds or acts for more than two years while another person is elected President." "That's what makes it official.
Even if you look for it on a global scale, I'm afraid no country has ever limited the term of officeββββββ especially in some countries with a chaotic political situation, I'm afraid you've been ousted before you finish your term, and this kind of thing is not uncommon today, especially in South America today.
Still, they argue that the US example should be followed to limit term limits.
For example, the term of office is limited to two terms, so that after completing this term, in 1923, Yan Shao needs to obediently step down from his current position.
Of course, you can also say that the emperor is like that, but the emperor is not the emperor after all...
It's like the emperor and the crown prince...
If the emperor wanted to depose or kill the crown prince, usually no one would say anything. On the other hand, if the crown prince wants to do what the emperor wants to do, it is a great rebellion.
But if it is the emperor and the emperor, there is no doubt that the emperor will receive some criticism, but not much, on the contrary, the emperor's words will probably be a little ...... What's more, the emperor can also act in his own right.
Maybe in the first few years, being an emperor needs to be fearful, but after a long time, it will naturally have his own power, after all, he is the emperor, which is normal.
Right now, what those people want to do is to turn Yan Shao into the emperor first, and then become the emperor themselves... (To be continued......)
