Chapter 486: Chongren's Restructuring (Medium)
For this reason, Chongren did not keep it secret, nor did he use the military's liliang to regulate the market, but adopted the practice of interviewing big entrepreneurs, and he knew very well how common the Japanese people's herd mentality is, as long as these big entrepreneurs are willing to spend time with the government, others will definitely choose to stay. And when they see that the economic situation at home is improving, or even just not worsening, they will be even more inclined to flee to foreign countries. After all, for those capitalists, if they decide to go abroad, they will not only have to sell their assets at a low price, and then get to exchange them for foreign exchange on the black market, both of which will cause them to suffer a lot of losses, and the net worth will shrink by half is light, as long as the domestic situation in Japan is acceptable, everyone will definitely be willing to continue to stay in China and develop.
It is no wonder that after the misappropriation of reserves, it is difficult to ensure that the yen will not depreciate sharply, and their net worth will shrink sharply at that time. However, cutting-edge entrepreneurs, including Kiyogen Kato and Konosuke Matsushita, have generally expressed support, on the one hand, because young people are more receptive to new ideas, and patriotic enthusiasm is often stronger than that of old people; On the other hand, it is because they all want to take the opportunity to gain the trust of the government, so as to win some preferential policies for their enterprises, and even replace the four major chaebols and become the new masters of the Japanese economy. Seeing this, the heads of the four major chaebols had no choice but to express their support, after all, although Japan is also a capitalist country, unlike the Western government, which is subject to the big capitalists, power in Japan has always been more powerful than money. Now Chongren's politeness to them is just a salute before a soldier, so these leading figures in the corporate and financial circles are really not tough in front of the emperor, not to mention that if you look closely, which of the four major chaebols did not catch the line of the government many years ago to develop to today's level? In case these up-and-coming entrepreneurs follow their example and replace them
Of course, with the connections accumulated by the four chaebols in Japan for many years, it is still easy to let the core members of the family flee to foreign countries, but the four chaebols have a big business and complex equity relations, where can they be sorted out for a while? If it is said that the flight of small and medium-sized business owners will lose at least half of their net worth. If they are oligarchic capitalists who do not have enough time to buffer and flee in a hurry. I'm afraid that I won't be able to take out even one-tenth of my family property. Rather than losing his fortune and being accused of treason, it is better to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman to gamble with Emperor Noshihito, and if he succeeds, he will not only become a hero of Japan, but also the consortium will definitely get rich rewards.
Chongren really didn't intend to let them pay in vain. His thinking is a bit left-leaning, though. However, it is also well aware of the inherent shortcomings of Japan's heavy dependence on external resources and markets. It is impossible to carry out socialist industrialization under the long-term blockade of the Western powers like the Soviet Union, so he naturally will not be stupid to "kill the rich and help the poor", even if he hates these profit-seeking capitalists in his heart. However, they still have to rely on them for economic construction.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Chongren still gave everyone a surprise, he sent representatives to attend a total of 10 consortiums and super enterprises into a special list, in the future, these 10 can not only give priority to the government's orders, but also once there is a problem in the operation, the government will also directly lend a hand, which is equivalent to saying that these 10 consortiums and super enterprises will never collapse in the future, which is absolutely a generous gift even in Japan, where class solidification has been very serious since ancient times. Although free competition is one of the advantages of the capitalist market economy, it is naturally better for the capitalists themselves who sell commodities to be free from competition
However, Chongren naturally also put forward two important conditions: first, in the future, these 10 consortia and enterprise groups must be in step with the government at all times, which is easy for everyone to understand; However, the second condition immediately aroused deep thought, and Takahito asked them to "devote themselves to the industrialization of Japan." If necessary, they may even have to sacrifice immediate profits (although if the business can't afford it, the government will lend a hand.) ), because the direction of scientific and technological development is often not in line with the direction of economic development. And this is not just a requirement for the business community, Chonghito also selected some Japanese universities with strong teaching and scientific research strength, such as Tokyo Imperial University, for key support, while the government is bridging enterprises and universities, so that the three links of "industry, education and research" are closely linked, so as to accelerate Japan's scientific and technological progress as much as possible. After that, "everything that is conducive to industrialization will be supported, and everything that hinders industrialization will be eradicated by us!" Historically, the "Federation of Industry and Economic Affairs", which played a key role in the rise of Japan's economy after the war, appeared on the stage of history in advance
In fact, the reason why Chongren has this idea is, in the final analysis, because he read an article about industrialization by Hu Weidong when he was studying at Kang University, and the "responsibilities and obligations that enterprises, scientific research institutions and the government should bear" mentioned in Hu Weidong's article are derived from the lessons of the Japanese Federation of Industry and Economics in history. If Chongren learned that the set he had engaged in was actually invented by the later Japanese in history, I don't know how he would feel in his heart
But in any case, after the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Economic Affairs, Japan's industrialization and scientific and technological progress did play a huge role in promoting, so that although Japan lost a lot of talent after the armistice with China, the speed of scientific and technological development was faster than the same period in history, which of course has the help of US aid, but foreign aid alone can not complete industrialization, the Federation of Industry and Economics for the general direction of the grasp and efficient allocation of the country's limited resources is the greatest hero.
However, in the short term, the Federation of Industry and Economics is not making money, but is a terrifying black hole of gold absorption, and Japan's biggest difficulty now is the lack of money, so the emergence of the Federation of Industry and Economics will not only not help Japan get out of the predicament, but may make it more serious. For this reason, Chongren almost tried all kinds of ways to get as much foreign exchange as possible, even if it would be in the long-term interests of Japan, because he had read an article by Taizu when he was in Kang Da, which talked about the inevitability of the outbreak of the European war (Taizu was interviewed by Snow in history about the outbreak of the European war, but many historical celebrities on this issue have already seen yujian, which can be regarded as a hero. He is now also pinning his hopes for Japan's revival entirely on the European war, but he has not yet made up his mind about what Japan should do then, but there is no doubt about one thing, the stronger Japan's strength, the greater the benefits that may be obtained after the outbreak of the European war, no matter which side Japan ultimately chooses to stand on.
