Chapter 791: Li Yuanhong is dead

In addition to the funds on the stock market, the second part is the Green Gang bosses, the old men of the former dynasty, the old bureaucrats, and the problematic compradors, these people also have a lot of wealth in their hands, according to calculations, in the process of cleaning up, at least 130 million yuan in cash was seized, in addition to a large amount of gold and silver, antiques, jade, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, land and real estate, corporate bonds and shares, etc., adding up to no less than 500 million yuan.

Most of these people are insatiable, and the wealth in their hands is also ill-gotten gains, and the fat and anointment of the people are now taken back, and they deserve it.

The third part of the wealth is the concessions of the great powers, and the Chinese army rushed into the concessions, in fact, it has marked the disappearance of the imprint of this colonial era. In particular, the Chinese side has found a large amount of illegal evidence, and although the great powers have vigorously denied it, there has also been a strong wave of opposition within China.

If they still stubbornly defend the concession, they will only oppose all the Chinese, and it is inevitable that the foreign powers will make concessions, but surprisingly, the first to propose the return of the public concession was Japan, the former enemy of life and death, would make such an unexpected decision, which really surprised Zhang Tinglan.

However, with the beginning of the Japanese, the United States and Britain and other countries were not willing to look for trouble, and the result was that all countries jointly announced the abandonment of the concession, and the ten-mile ocean field in Shanghai finally returned to the embrace of China. In exchange, China decided to develop the Pudong New Area to provide policy facilitation and tax incentives for foreign investment, and Zhang Tinglan decided to set up a pilot free trade zone in Shanghai to provide duty-free treatment for some foreign goods.

In fact, Zhang Tinglan also has in-depth thinking about making these decisions, after all, a country as huge as China always needs a window for foreign contact. If the public concession of Zuihou was abolished, the foreign powers would be excluded, and it would only affect Shanghai's status as the center of the Far East. Hong Kong and other places were cheapened for nothing, so they simply left the most haode conditions to Shanghai, continue to maintain the glory of this Oriental Pearl, and let those foreign places have been marginalized.

This kind of exchange can be regarded as accountable to the great powers, although the concession has been lost, but the preferential conditions provided by the new area are also the most desired by the United States, a country that eagerly advocates free trade.

For China, the land of the concession was recovered, construction. These are also worth more than 200 million yuan. In addition, there are fines for violating companies, and the fines paid by some of the people involved in the case add up, and Zhang Tinglan has received nearly 2.5 billion yuan from Shanghai Tang, which is almost equivalent to China's fiscal revenue for a year. What is especially valuable is this money. There is 1.8 billion is real money, such a huge amount of money. There's so much you can do.

"The focus of the first five jihua is on national defense. It is heavy industry construction, so the focus of our investment is concentrated in the central and western regions, as well as in North China. In the second five-year period, investment in heavy industry should continue to increase, but the southeast coast and other places also need to accelerate the pace of development, the Yangtze River Delta. The Pearl River Delta, Fujian and other places have a good light industry base, and also have a tradition of foreign trade, and these areas need to strengthen support. ”

Zhang Tinglan walked around on the ground. Then he said: "We can mainly develop raw silk, textile, garment and other industries, and we must compete with the Japanese raw silk, and from the income from this time, 500 million yuan will be set aside to support these industries." ”

Wang Shuhan suddenly hahadaxiao: "Vice President, this hand is clever, raw silk is the most competitive commodity of the Japanese in the international market, once it is defeated, the Japanese government will reduce its income by hundreds of millions every year." ”

China has always dominated the silk industry, the famous Silk Road, witnessing China's former glory, in fact, until the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, China's silk still occupies the main share of shijie. However, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese began to catch up, and in addition to sending Japanese women to Nanyang to earn foreign exchange, there were two things: raw silk and tea.

The Japanese vigorously introduced machine production, improved the industrial jishu, promoted the cultivation of raw silk, cut down large areas of forest and planted mulberry trees instead. In fact, in later generations, these industrialized countries talked about environmental protection one by one, and the various practices of the Japanese to protect the environment were even worshiped by some people, but everyone did not know that everyone had a black history.

There is no Chinese model at all, and China is not a special case, but it is just that China has re-followed the path that all industrialized countries have taken. This road may not be perfect, and some people will also suggest that Weishenme China can't go out of a new way, sorry! So far, no country has succeeded, so it is better to believe in reality than in false illusions.

Having said that, after decades of unremitting efforts, in 1910, the Japanese accounted for three-quarters of the export of raw silk, leaving China far behind, losing this zuihou industry, and the finances of the Qing Dynasty also deteriorated rapidly, and soon collapsed completely.

Since then, Japan has been dominating the raw silk industry, and their raw silk exports have reached eighty or ninety percent of Shijie, accounting for more than one-third of their total exports, and 90 percent of the raw silk in the American market is provided by the Japanese. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the stockings that American women love the most suddenly became a hot commodity. They can even be sold for thousands of dollars a pair on the black market, and a large number of women flock to them.

According to the survey at the time, two-thirds of women chose stockings as the most important thing, while only one-third chose a boyfriend, which shows that women are crazy about stockings.

The Japanese monopolize the export of raw silk, which can bring nearly one billion yuan in exports every year, and it can be said that Japan's industrialization is largely supported by raw silk, which is also one of Japan's most important fist products.

Zhang Tinglan started in the three eastern provinces, not a traditional raw silk production area, and the Japanese raw silk industry has become a general trend, and it is very difficult to compete, so Zhang Tinglan has not started the life and death industry.

However, after the land reform, the traditional silk production areas in the south have also been integrated, and the sangnong is no longer a plate of loose sand, and the professional plantations have begun to emerge, so it can be said that China's raw silk has the basis for competing with Japan for the shijie market, and with China's existing strength, there is no need to care about Japan's protests.

The time is fully ripe for the development of the raw silk industry, so Zhang Tinglan will come up with a lot of funds to support it at this time. The Chinese earn one more dollar on silk, and the Japanese earn one dollar less, which is like the Northern Hades Divine Skill, I absorb your internal strength, turn around and hit you again, and it has twice the effect at once.

Before World War II, the main income of the Japanese was raw silk exports to the United States on the one hand, and industrial exports to China on the other. At this time, the Chinese market has been occupied by domestic products, and if the North American market is in the hands of China, Japan, an island country, is waiting to be completely marginalized!

Zhang Tinglan's decision to enter the raw silk industry also made Wang Shuhan very excited, and said with a smile: "Vice President, China has opened up the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty. It's just that the Japanese have just relented on the issue of the public concession, and they can be regarded as helping us, and they will go and dig their corners, which is probably not good. ”

There was a sneer on the corner of Zhang Tinglan's mouth: "President Wang, the little devils are shrewd, will they help in vain?" ”

"What do the Japanese want?"

"Just now, Gu Weijun sent me a telegram, saying that Japan proposes to let Taiwan become an independent state, and this new country is open to both China and Japan."

"Bastard!" As soon as Wang Shuhan heard this, he suddenly stood up, Taiwan was forcibly taken by the Japanese in the First Sino-Japanese War, and this has also become the most difficult knot between China and Japan.

Powerful China must recapture Taiwan, and Japan, as an island country, lacks the most strategic depth, so they also defend Taiwan to the death, and there will be irreconcilable contradictions between the two, which will sooner or later become the fuse for the outbreak of conflict between China and Japan.

Japan, on the other hand, is under tremendous pressure in the face of an increasingly powerful China. In this era, the Japanese high-level leaders were not all elm heads, and they thought about it and put forward the idea of establishing a state in Taiwan and being managed by China and Japan. After more than 30 years of imperial education, there are already a large number of pro-Japanese elements on the island, and there are also a large number of mixed races. A new generation of islanders has been inscribed with the imprint of the Yamato nation.

Even if they were truly independent, the Japanese would have the upper hand, and in this way they would be able to throw off the biggest time bomb between China and Japan. In addition, through the founding of South China, the Japanese also saw the decline of the West. They also set their sights on Nanyang and wanted to make a profit.

In particular, Hirohito, who had just ascended the throne, coveted the wealth of the South Seas, so the Japanese government made the decision to ease up with China.

"When the Japanese do this, they are undoubtedly giving gifts of things that belong to us, and I will never let the Japanese dream come true. At present, only by speeding up its own development and striking at Japan can it be possible to regain Taiwan. ”

Zhang Tinglan determined the development of Jihua, but still needs to implement the candidates, so Zhang Tinglan decided to convene a conference of industrialists and businessmen in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to discuss the future development of the Yangtze River Delta and determine the industrial policy.

This conference can also be regarded as a summary of the chaos in Shanghai, Zhang Tinglan also attaches great importance to it, and the businessmen invited are also industrial representatives in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the most important of which are Rongjia, Zhang Jingjiang, Yu Qiaqing and others. These celebrities in the business world were also sincerely afraid, and after receiving the invitation, they immediately came.

But just as Zhang Tinglan was about to meet them and have a good talk, news suddenly came from Beijing that President Li Yuanhong had passed away.

Usually Li Yuanhong is a tablet and is useless, but he died suddenly, and there was a major vacuum in China's political arena. Originally, it was logical for Zhang Tinglan to take over as president, but there was a problem, Zhang Tinglan was not yet in the year of establishment, and he was ten years younger than the legal age of president.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tinglan also had to return to Beijing immediately and decide on the next move. (To be continued......)
