Fengxian Jiangshan

Amanullah's body shook suddenly, and he asked hesitantly, "Mr. President, are you willing to support me?"

"Of course you can, but I suggest that you first accumulate strength on the border outside Afghanistan, and then reorganize your political views on governing the country. As long as the time is right, you can counterattack Afghanistan."

The so-called political views were of course drafted with the help of the Chinese side. This time, all the flashy things of Westernization were completely discarded.The main content is two, the first is to enrich the country, and the second is to eliminate hunger.

Rich countries want to make full use of Afghanistan's favorable terrain to launch trade.Especially after China and Iran reached an arms sales contract, the relationship between the two countries has become closer and closer. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan is going to start from xīn rape, pass through Afghanistan, and build a railway to Iran.

Later, Turkey can be pulled in, so that Chinese goods can be sent to Europe by land.It is a huge boost to the economy along the way, and it is also good news for China.

Once it is done, Afghan businessmen can benefit from it, and it is obvious that these people have been pulled over.

As for the problem of hunger, Zhang Tinglan suggested that China and Arab countries cooperate to exchange minerals for food.Although China has a large population, it can still be self-sufficient, and the population of Afghanistan is not too large, so it can be solved anyway.

However, Afghanistan's resource resources are quite astonishing. It has a large amount of rare metal resources, such as chrome ore, which is an important raw material for the production of alloys. China's gap has always been very large.Moreover, there is also a super-large terrace copper mine. As long as it is mined, China's defense industry will not have to worry about it.

In addition, the parts adjacent to Central Asia have been controlled by China at this time. These areas store a large amount of natural gas and oil. Once developed, they will be a great source of income.

It is not difficult for Afghanistan to become rich. In fact, just like a certain big country in later generations, if it is willing to spend [-]% of its war funds to invest in Afghanistan, it will definitely not end up in the ground.

This is also the difference between Western countries and the Eastern world. Zhang Tinglan has great ambitions for Afghanistan, but he does not want to conquer Afghanistan. Let us sit together and discuss how to make a fortune and become well-off!

Zhang Tinglan stayed in Dihua for half a month, deployed the action plan against Afghanistan in detail, and helped Amanullah regroup the team, and sent it to the Sino-Arab border for training and waited for the right time.

After the pawn fell, Zhang Tinglan returned to the capital slowly. In fact, he was not used for such things.But in order to hide from the quiet, he had no choice but to run away.

In fact, the capital was in chaos during Zhang Tinglan's departure.Both the stock market and enterprises have touched some people's sore spots. They are absolutely unwilling to change, but Zhang Tinglan has made up his mind, and they have nothing to do.

The army was the first to carry out reforms. The original military welfare company was completely disbanded, and all other things that soldiers only enjoyed official state treatment were eliminated.In addition, military officers at all levels are not allowed to participate in any business operations. Soldiers have only one mission and that is to be responsible for fighting wars.

The army is often the most difficult place to reform, but Zhang Tinglan has unparalleled prestige, and after the order is issued, it is quickly implemented.Hundreds of military officers who were suspected of violating laws and regulations and using power for personal gain were thoroughly investigated, and 11 of them were generals.

After the military dealt with it, the government also made detailed regulations and established an independent National Capital Management Committee. This committee is in charge of a deputy prime minister and is only responsible to the president.His mission is to manage all state-owned assets and ensure the effective operation of state-owned shares.

In addition, no one from any government can directly intervene in the operation of the enterprise.Enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel, Dalian Shipyard, Jiangnan Captain, Wuhan Aircraft Factory, etc., all state-owned shares are also clearly divided. They should belong to the government, and they must not be bad at all. They should not be owned by the government. power.

When the equity division is clear, the responsibilities are also clear. There are detailed boundaries for who should do what and who can control what.

Zhang Tinglan also issued two decrees, all administrative officials, immediate family members and spouses are not allowed to establish a company alone, nor are they allowed to form a joint stock or joint venture with other people.Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished, and may even be directly dismissed from office. If there is a problem of using power for personal gain, it should be lent to the judiciary to deal with it.

The second order is the property disclosure system, which is also a very important anti-corruption measure.The so-called property disclosure of officials does not mean that all civil servants' property must be disclosed, and there is no such thing in the world. It is the personal concealment of others and is sacred and inviolable.

In the Western world, only those officials who directly vote for election should be publicized. After all, if you want to be elected, you have to accept the test of the public.

The disclosure system formulated by Zhang Tinglan covers the president, prime minister, ministers, and deputy ministers. Only these people need to disclose their property and be subject to real-time supervision.Zhang Tinglan made a special request that if anyone is found to have assets abroad, they will be severely punished.

If other officials find overseas property, once verified, they will also be dealt with.These two regulations are equivalent to putting a curse on all officials.

The originally intricate relationship between politics and business was dismantled at once. Zhang Tinglan's attitude was very clear. If you want power, don't even think about having a representative. You can only choose one of the two. If you want to occupy both, there must be selfishness and problems. !

As the president, Zhang Tinglan also set an example. His property is completely disclosed, and the expenses of the presidential residence are also transparent.It's just that Zhang Tinglan and his family have a lot of property in their hands. If all these things are announced, the amount will be too scary.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan had already dealt with all the domestic property. As for the foreign part, he transferred it to the account of the National Development Fund. In name, Zhang Tinglan became a downright poor person.

Of course, when it comes to his status, money is just a symbol, whether it is present or not, it will not affect anything.But after all, in order to regulate the officialdom and the political and business circles, he must make a cut. This attitude is very important, at least not to leave any excuses for political opponents.

These measures undoubtedly violated the interests of the bureaucratic system. People from all walks of life rushed out from the political, business, and military forces to stop Zhang Tinglan's actions, but no one could find Zhang Tinglan.

After he returned to Beijing, all kinds of work had already started, the media had publicized it, and no one could object to it.

The reshuffle of domestic politics has begun, but Zhang Tinglan's attention has been put abroad again. After 30 years, the economic crisis has deepened, and the economy has shown no signs of recovery.Moreover, the Americans came up with an extremely stupid decree, that is, the "Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act". Commodities have been changed from duty-free to taxed in the past.

Since then, countries around the world have been caught in a tariff war. Every country is desperately raising tariffs and creating barriers, and a trade war has begun again.

It was already deeply in the economic crisis, and in the end, it also imposed trade barriers. The consequences can be imagined, that is, the international trade volume was directly cut in half, and the export of the United States, which first provoked the trade war, was cut by more than half.

This bill makes countries continue to sink in the midst of the economic crisis, making recovery more difficult.But the more this is the case, the more opportunities there are for China. After Zhang Tinglan returned to Beijing, he immediately arranged for a bottom-hunting operation.

The huge capital held by China has become the capital of Souwu's essence since the industrial revolution. Zhang Tinglan immediately sent a government procurement team led by Gu Weijun and Tao Jiping to the United States.

At the same time, headhunting companies and purchasing managers in private names quickly poured into the United States like a swarm of bees.His goal is very clear, people, equipment, technology, as long as they can be seen, they will all be brought back to China.

On the streets of major industrial cities in the United States, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and other areas, you can see the presence of Chinese leather bag companies. These people have a lot of money, and as long as they are suitable talents, they will be recruited immediately.

In addition to them, Tang Shaoyi, Kuang Rongguang and others who studied in the United States in the early years really drew up a list of top scientific research talents that needed to be recruited, and a huge bargain-hunting operation started like this.

Chapter 829 Double harvest of talents and equipment

Xia Han, who had experience in buying bottoms, once again acted as the commander in chief of this operation. Not long ago, the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant under his name underwent a complete transformation.

As the earliest and largest iron and steel enterprise in the three northeastern provinces, and even the whole country, Anshan Iron and Steel is also the only super-large enterprise with an annual output of over one million tons of steel, and its every move attracts everyone's attention.

The shareholding transformation just carried out also had a huge impact. During this transformation, Zhang Tinglan completely merged his private shares, the original government shares, army shares, and some bank shares together and became state-owned. The shares accounted for a total of 40.00% of the steel plant. Among the other 60.00%, Xia Han accounted for 20.00%, and the rest were held by various shareholders and companies.

After this reform, Anshan Iron and Steel's shares have been completely clarified, and the problem of multi-management has also been solved. Both the government and the military have withdrawn from the management field.The businessman manages it himself, and the risks and benefits are also borne by the businessman. The government also looks at the business operation as a shareholder.

Xia Han also knew at this time that the burden on his shoulders was heavier and he had to be responsible for more things, but at the same time, his degree of freedom had also increased unprecedentedly, and he could flex his fists as he wished.Therefore, before the reform was completely over, they went to the United States with a huge purchasing group.

The steel industry is always an important indicator to measure a country's industrial strength and war potential, and it is also the focus of this procurement.

Xia Han's first stop was Pittsburgh, which is the headquarters of the famous American Steel Corporation.As an industrial city, the main theme of Pittsburgh is always the rumble and the smoke and dust all over the sky.

Every winter, when heavy snow falls, if you grab a handful and melt it in the palm of your hand, it will all be black water.Thousands of workers are working hard in this kind of air, and they don't know how much pm2.5 will be...

It's just that the winter that has just passed has been extraordinarily cold.It is even said that until spring, the coldness has not dissipated, on the contrary, it has become more serious.Factories that had been rumbling had stopped functioning.The black smoke all over the sky has also disappeared, and I can finally breathe a breath of fresh air.

But the people of Pittsburgh no longer have such thoughts.The factories stopped, they lost their jobs, tens of thousands of people lost their source of livelihood, slept on the streets, and in the cold winter, I don’t know how many homeless people died of freezing and starving.

They tried every means to keep warm, even stuffing newspapers under their shirts.In order to block a trace of cold wind.For Xia Han, Pittsburgh, the U.S. Steel Company, is a giant like a myth.

U.S. Steel was founded in 1901.The age is not very long, but there are two behemoths behind it, one is the Carnegie Steel Company, and the other is the Morgan family.

It is relying on advanced management experience and sufficient capital supply.The U.S. Steel Corporation is like blowing up a balloon, rapidly inflating.Especially during World War I, it was the golden time for U.S. Steel Corporation. In 1916, the annual output of U.S. Steel Corporation reached 1900 million tons!

What kind of number is this?You must know that Germany was before World War I.The national steel output is only 1760 million tons, which means that a company in the United States can overwhelm Germany!It's no wonder that Germany lost the war. It is too difficult to challenge a behemoth like the United States.

As for China just cheering for its annual steel output exceeding 500 million tons, compared with the United States, the difference is more than an order of magnitude!

When Xia Han and the others saw the continuous factory area and the numerous factory buildings, it was such a huge scale that people couldn't help but exclaimed, and the accompanying personnel were even more dumbfounded.This is not a factory, it is clearly a huge city!

"Don't be stupid, act separately immediately, show me which factories are worth buying, and be sure to get them back for me."

Seeing these attendants running over like hungry tigers, Xia Han also clenched his fists secretly: "Ten years, in just ten years, I can also build a steel kingdom, a steel kingdom bigger than U.S. Steel Corporation !"

It took Xia Han and the others a week to figure out the U.S. Steel Corporation. This time, all the equipment they chose were [-]% new and large-scale.General small and medium-sized equipment can already be produced domestically. Although American products are better, China's industry also needs to develop and cannot blindly rely on American equipment.

Therefore, the standard set by Xia Han is very clear. The blast furnace must be more than 500 cubic meters, preferably 1000 cubic meters, and the open hearth furnace must be 50 tons or 100 tons.As long as these large-scale equipment are shipped back to the country, China's steel industry will be able to make a leap forward.

A 1000-cubic-meter blast furnace can produce 15 to 20 tons of pig iron once a year at full capacity. As long as more than 10 can be purchased, the domestic iron and steel industry will break through the [-] million-ton mark.
