040 Oil Politics
"Commander, Professor Li Siguang just sent a telegram." Just as he was thinking about it, Fourteen walked in quickly. Those who know Huang Ke know that he doesn't pay much attention to some red tape, and sometimes he goes into his office to report urgent matters, sometimes without knocking on the door.
Hearing this, Huang Ke's spirit was lifted, Li Siguang went out to investigate, but there was no news for a long time, and it seemed that he had found something in the telegram at this time.
"Quick, hand it to me."
Fourteen Tsai handed over the translated telegram, and after reading it, Huang Ke couldn't help but smile on his face, Li Siguang really lived up to expectations, in the telegram, he explained four places where oil reserves were found, Karamay in Xinjiang, the Shandong Peninsula, Puyang in Henan, and the Songnen Plain in Northeast China.
Because of the secrecy, the specific geographical location was not indicated in the telegram, but Huang Ke believed that Li Siguang must have explored well, because these were the later Karamay, Shengli, Zhongyuan and Daqing oil fields. However, now these major oil fields cannot be fully exploited, the northeast is under the management of the old Zhang family, and there is the Japanese Kwantung Army that is eyeing it; Xinjiang is even more not, although Wang Maocai's army is about to expel the warlords, but the Soviets not far away are not fuel-efficient lamps; The Shandong Peninsula is too close to the coast, and it will inevitably be affected as soon as the war starts...... After thinking about it, Huang Ke felt that only Puyang was more suitable, but was just an oil field enough?
"Go and get the oil demand report from the statistics department." Huang Ke put these things aside and set about dealing with oil and gas resources.
The statistical report was sent in a short time. These statistical reports are provided by the statistical department set up by Huang Ke, in which a group of think tanks collate and analyze various data on the national economy, people's livelihood and military strategy, and then summarize and report them, and provide solutions.
Huang Ke took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised after reading it. At present, the annual output of crude oil production in the country is less than 100,000 tons, and with the continuous development of industrialization, the annual demand is more than 10 million tons.
Oil, 10% is economic, 90% is political. Huang Ke deeply understands that industrial construction must be based on the petroleum industry, and without oil, it means that airplanes cannot fly, tanks cannot move, cars cannot run, and Luanchuan cannot work...... Almost all industries are going to be paralyzed.
Without further ado, Huang Ke decided to make a decision to build the first large-scale oil field in Puyang. Soon, he asked people to draw up a telegram to reply to Li Siguang, and asked Zhu Jiahua to contact the German side to speed up the purchase of industrial equipment.
Strictly speaking, oil exploitation is not in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but the original Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry have been cancelled and merged into the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Land has not yet been established, so the area of industrial exploitation is also a blank area.
With this kind of power to govern, it will naturally be much more convenient. Huang Ke did not need to report to the Wuhan government, so he used the resources of the Ministry of Industry to start an oil conference war.
After dealing with the oil matter, Huang Ke began to worry about the construction of Shenzhen, and no one came to invest in such favorable conditions here, is it the wrong time?
While thinking about this, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the office, and Huang Ke raised his head to see that it was Fu Jin and Fu Guoqiang, brother and sister.
"Report to the commander, Guoqiang is here to report." Fu Guoqiang was wearing a jacket-style pilot's uniform, with a big-brimmed hat crooked on his head, although he looked a little unruly, but in front of Huang Ke, he still stood upright, like a clay sculpture.
"Take a break! How did you guys get here? Huang Ke still tried his best to maintain a little majesty in front of his subordinates, and then Fu Guoqiang, who was tense, relaxed.
"Commander, during this time, our air force happened to be in turn in Guangzhou, and I heard that you are engaged in industrial construction here, so I will come over after the rest of these two days."
Fu Guoqiang maintained the playfulness and casualness characteristic of pilots, but the former members of the pre-cadre department made him still full of respect for Huang Ke. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he no longer calls Huang Ke "Comrade Xinghua", but has changed to call Huang Ke "commander".
Fu Jin, who was standing on the side, smiled and said: "Actually, our sister and brother came this time, firstly, to visit you here, and secondly, to inspect the environment of Shenzhen. If possible, we can contact some overseas Chinese to come and invest too. ”
Huang Ke nodded, why didn't he think of the trick of contacting overseas Chinese? It seems that this Fu Jin's head is really unusual, but Huang Ke feels that not all kinds of investment can enter here, what he needs is not those heavy industries.
With that, Huang Ke invited someone to sit down in the office, and asked Fourteen to bring the freshly brewed green tea. Although it was only early spring, the weather in Shenzhen had already begun to get hot, so Huang Ke simply rolled up his sleeves and sat on his desk.
Fu Jin observed his words and looks, and when he saw the mountains of documents on Huang Ke's desk, he knew that he must be busy with official business. She said with a very good look: "The commander is still busy with official business? It seems that the construction of Shenzhen is busy with you, the big minister. Our brothers and sisters won't bother, just go around by yourself, you better get busy with official business first. ”
Huang Ke took out the Luzon cigar, minus the cigar head, handed one to Fu Guoqiang, and then lit one himself. Accompanied by the light smoke, Huang Ke sighed, and said with some self-care: "To tell you, the current situation is very different from my previous estimate, and no one has come to invest in construction at all, I am wondering which link is wrong?" ”
Fu Guoqiang was not interested in these economic constructions, he simply smoked an authentic cigar and tasted the green tea in Huang Ke's office.
Fu Jin is different, after listening to Huang Ke's words, she frowned and said: "Don't hide it from the commander, in fact, I also decided not to invest in Shenzhen after the inspection." ”
"Oh?" Huang Ke was a little surprised, just now he said that he was going to mobilize overseas Chinese to come to invest, why did it change in a while?
Seeing Huang Ke's doubts, Fu Jin simply said without reservation: "Now that the economy of European and American countries is in a recession, most factories are on the verge of suspending or semi-suspending production, and this situation is still spreading. Even if you are too busy to take care of yourself at home, how can you still come to invest? ”
Huang Ke bowed slightly, the economic crisis that swept the world in history was at this time, how could he forget this stubble?
"In addition to that, there is something wrong with the site for development here, at least not right now. Along the coast of Shenzhen, across the sea from Hong Kong, theoretically speaking, this is the ideal choice for opening the port and building a port, but now China's coastal defense can not guarantee its safety, Japan is eyeing the tiger, and the war will become the primary target of the Japanese attack as soon as the war starts, and any investment will be hopeless at that time, so the businessmen have seen this, and dare not invest here rashly, after all, no one wants their money to go down the drain. ”
Fu Jin talked eloquently, Huang Ke was surprised and a little relieved at the same time, if there were more such a think-tank figure around, it would be good to be able to share his worries.
Although Fu Jin said the truth, Huang Ke had already expected this, and his purpose was not to build Shenzhen into an industrial base, but to build it into a commercial city.
Huang Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, what you analyzed is very reasonable. The economic environment in foreign countries is unbearable to encounter economic crises, which is both a danger and an opportunity for us, because in this way, we can buy many machines at a low price and better introduce production equipment. ”
"As for the security you mentioned, it's a real problem right now. It is important to know that there is a saying in the construction of the army, '10 years of army, 100 years navy', and to build a strong navy, it is not only necessary to build ships and artillery, but also to have talents and technical reserves. Japan has been doing this since the Meiji Restoration, and we are now catching up, and we will not be able to catch up in a short time, so I have decided to postpone the idea of building a strong navy, and as for the security of Shenzhen and even our country's 10,000-mile sea frontier, another mysterious force needs to be responsible. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Ke smiled heartily.
Fu Guoqiang pulled Fu Jin and motioned her not to ask again, he was a soldier and naturally knew military secrets. How could such a smart person as Fu Jin not comprehend, and before Huang Ke could speak, she diverted the topic and said: "Since the commander is so confident, then on behalf of the Fu family, we can announce that investment in Shenzhen can begin, and we will put a batch of heavy industries here in the near future." ”
I thought that these words would be praised by Huang Ke, but I didn't expect Huang Ke to shake his head and say, "What you said just now inspired me." In Shenzhen, there is no need for any heavy industry. Shenzhen wants to build a commercial city, there must be ample entertainment facilities here, and there must be bustling commercial districts, just like Hong Kong on the other side, no! She will be a combination of Hong Kong and Macau. ”
Huang Ke's words made Fu Jin a little confused, and Fu Guoqiang couldn't understand what he was saying, but it was a little certain, that is, Huang Ke had already set the tone here, and this place should be a business-centric city.
After a few simple greetings, Huang Ke took their brothers and sisters to Shenzhen under construction, which is simply a big construction site, accompanied by the hustle and bustle of the sky and the sound of machines, asphalt roads are being paved, and buildings are also rising from the ground, countless dark workers with upper bodies form silhouettes in the sun, and Huang Ke is standing there pointing out the country.
Fu Jin sighed, the eldest husband should be like this.
(Some readers said that it is not permissible to establish a special economic zone in Shenzhen at this time, thank you for the reminder!) Some changes have also been made in the text. )
