New Warlords 1909

Of course, under the huge economic interests, there are also ulterior political and even military purposes!Once Hua Fei's economic system is destroyed, even if he cannot be completely eliminated, he will be seriously injured, and under the wave of public protests, he will withdraw from Suzhou and Shanghai.When he returned to the province, he didn't have a few years to recuperate, and it was difficult to recover.

"How about the goods we have on hand? Is the stock enough to stabilize prices?" Hua Fei walked out quickly, got into a car and drove.

"The people in the emergency team said that it can be stabilized. If it is only to stop the price from continuing to rise, it can last for about a week. If it is to reduce the price, I am afraid it can only last for three days!"

"Stabilize prices, go back and tell them to stabilize prices and allow prices to rise slowly! At the same time, expand orders for major factories, especially steel, coal, cement and other factories, and continue to raise the prices of these heavy industrial products! For cotton, cotton yarn, silk Wait, find a way to continue to expand the supply of goods, and we must not let the price continue to rise, otherwise, after a long time, I am afraid that many small factories will go bankrupt!"

"Go back immediately and tell the emergency team that everything will be carried out according to the original plan! I will go to the concession to find someone, and I will be back soon!"

The entire market is in chaos. Except for the basic quota prices of rice and flour, the prices of almost all commodities in the market are rising crazily.Especially for coal, steel, cement, and kerosene, there is one price in the morning, one price at noon, and another price in the evening.In particular, the price of kerosene has more than doubled in one day, causing crowds of people everywhere on the streets, outside shops, and in department stores.Silver dollars, eagles, new coins, British pounds, US dollars, and all kinds of currencies are all rushing to buy various materials.

Raw material suppliers everywhere are smiling, the rapid rise in prices has increased their profits rapidly, and almost all suppliers are frantically producing inventories.The soaring price of energy and heavy industrial products such as steel, coal, cement has stimulated a lot of private capital.

In just half a month, Shanghai Hexing Iron and Steel Plant, Hankou Yangzi Iron and Steel Plant, Daye Jihua Iron Ore Plant, Shanghai Longhua Cement Plant, Nanjing Longtan Cement Plant, Wuxi Taihu Cement Plant and many other private commercial capitals started construction .Many factories, including Hexing Iron and Steel Factory, have recruited part of the shares from Galaxy Investment Company.

Note, these factories are all real, and most of them were stimulated by the First World War. This novel borrows this economic war to make them all 'born' ahead of time. }

As for those light industries, especially the textile industry, due to the soaring prices of cotton and other products, although the price of cotton yarn is also rising at the same time, it has recently begun to fall.Compared with the two, the profit has been compressed to the limit space.If you don't pay attention to improving production and operation and saving costs, you will lose money.

Compared with light and heavy industries, coal mining requires a mining license, and all coal mines, regardless of size, must be mined by joint-stock companies, and private mining is not allowed.The coal industry also needs to pay a high mineral resource tax, that is, the net profit obtained from the mining of mineral resources in the autonomous region is calculated using an excess progressive tax rate, and a resource income tax of 10-40% is paid in turn.

152 plunge

As we all know, Shanghai is the birthplace of China's modern industry, and its industry and T7 account for a huge proportion in China as a whole!Among the total value of import and export trade, the total trade volume of Shanghai Port accounts for as much as [-]% of the country's total.

In addition to China's relatively developed light industry in Shanghai, some national heavy industries have also begun to develop.For example, power plants, electric light companies, tram companies, textile machinery, shipbuilding and repair shops, etc.Hua Fei also read from the newspaper not long ago that an industrialist named Lu Bohong founded Hexing Iron and Steel Factory in Zhoujiadu, Pudong.Hua Fei immediately ordered relevant information to be transferred, and unexpectedly found that Mr. Lu Bohong was also the director and general manager of the Mainland Electric Lamp Company and Shanghai Huashang Tram Company.The two companies are operating very well and making a lot of money.

After careful investigation, Hua Fei was even more surprised to find that Lu Bohong actually came from Gujia Lane, South City, Shanghai.

They have a close relationship with the very famous Zhu family and Ma family in Shanghai, and they marry each other.The chairman of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce is Zhu Zhiyao, and Mr. Ma Xiangbo, who founded Aurora College and Fudan Public School, is a well-known figure in the Ma family.

Several companies formed a close alliance. It can be said that the success of Lu Bohong's company is not unrelated to the help and connections of several companies.When Hua Fei learned that Lu Bohong was raising funds to build the Hexing Iron and Steel Plant, he immediately ordered Yinhe Investment to take the initiative to come to Hexing Iron and Steel Plant with 30 silver dollars to purchase 50% of the shares of Hexing Iron and Steel Plant.

Of course the Lu family understands Yinhe's background, but they don't understand Yinhe's motivation for being so enthusiastic. One must know that their registered capital is only 10,000+ yuan taels of silver.When Hua Fei entered Shanghai, most of the chambers of commerce in Nanshi remained silent. It can be said that they neither offended Hua Fei nor tried to curry favor.So after a brief observation, it seems that Galaxy Investment does not have any malicious intentions, and only three months ago, it broke ground on a large scale.

The beginning of Shanghai's economic blockade led to a series of industrial raw material products such as steel coal, cement, wood, and rubber skyrocketing.The soaring price of coal has led to a soaring price of electricity and a sharp increase in various production costs.Especially the price of steel and coal, almost all heavy and light industries are related to them.

The market initially appeared chaotic. Some merchants saw the price soaring, and many people got violent in speculation. They could no longer hold back and threw themselves into this feast.But the industrialists in related industries are miserable and frowning one after another!

Zhu Zhiyao, general manager of Qiuxin Machinery Manufacturing Shipyard, sighed.Steel and coal prices remain high, making their factories' profits plummet.Coupled with the double pressure from the Jesson shipyard of the British company and the Ruirong shipyard of the German company, the shipyard has lost nearly 10 yuan in recent orders for several ships.The worst thing is that the bank's loan is about to come, and because of the skyrocketing price of steel, he can't successfully complete the delivery of the passenger ship, and he has to pay liquidated damages!Once the deadline expires, Qiuxin Shipyard will inevitably go bankrupt, and nearly a thousand employees will lose their jobs.

"Nephew Lu Xian's Hexing Iron and Steel Plant was too late to build, otherwise, it might have helped us get through this difficulty!" Zhu Zhiyao sighed, looking at the unfinished hull in the dock, extremely exhausted.

"Sir, why don't we... let's sell some of the shares!" an assistant said.

"Those French people are just what they wish for! Now we are in crisis. They don't dare to open their mouths. They eat us alive!" Yao Chong, who is in charge of production, roared angrily.

"Mr. Zhu. It is said that Mr. Lu's Hexing Iron and Steel Plant has received shares from Yinhe Investment. Yinhe Investment has also invited several technical personnel to assist in the construction of the steel plant! Why don't we go to Yinhe Investment. It can relieve us Secondly, it may be possible to form an alliance with the Jiangnan Shipyard. Shipyards that resist foreigners. I also heard that all factories run by ethnic businesses can buy cheap steel from Maanshan Iron and Steel Works!" Chang Jingxin, the accountant, said on his own. Sound Jian said.

"Don't mention that surname Huadi. If he hadn't come to Shanghai, how could the price of steel and other materials in Shanghai have soared to the current level! I said that at the beginning, our Nanshi Chamber of Commerce should not acquiesce to him..." Mention steel prices.The hot-tempered Yao Chong couldn't help being furious.

"Shut up!" Zhu Zhiyao snapped in a rare voice.Look to the financial constant net new.There was a little eagerness in his eyes. "You just said that any factory run by our ethnic group can buy cheap steel from the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant. Is it true or false?"

"There will be no fakes. Look at the Kangmin grain store. Isn't it also selling grain at a low price! I just don't know if there is a limit to this steel. If you can also buy coal at a low price. That would be even better! You don't know. This Hua Fly. Now the popularity among the people is getting higher and higher! Some people say that he used to be on the street. He told those rickshaw drivers that he bought a limited amount of rice and sold it at the market price. He also said that the people had enough food and clothing. It's a big wish!" He mentioned these rumors.Chang Jingxin suddenly became very excited.You know he also tried to buy cheap rice yesterday.I never thought that the quality of the rice was very good.You can really buy it.

"The people have enough food and clothing. It's a great wish!" Zhu Zhiyao murmured this sentence that no one had tampered with.A glimmer of hope gradually lit up in his eyes.

He has heard about Galaxy Investment for a long time. It is said that hundreds of light factories of various types have been invested in Suzhou, Shanghai and other places. Several new-style bedding factories and shoe and hat factories have been stimulated by orders from the new army. The current scale of development is already very large. amazing.Originally, Zhu Zhi and others just thought that there was another greedy bureaucratic capital in the land of China. When the prices in the Shanghai market soared, he also subconsciously thought that this was Hua Fei's means to sweep away Shanghai's wealth.

But cheap rice, and now cheap steel, all of these have shaken Zhu Zhiyao's concept.If it was really for profiteering, why would you not do it!If Hua Fei really used his power to threaten him, I believe that with Lu Xian's temper, he would not agree!

Although Hexing Shipyard has grown slowly over the years, it is also struggling under the pressure of the two ocean merchant shipyards.If we can reach an alliance with Jiangnan Shipyard, the pressure on Hexing will be greatly relieved.Moreover, the Jiangnan factory has recently hired many technicians and workers from all over the country, and maybe they can get some technical support.

"Call Mr. Ma and Nephew Lu Xian and ask them for help. I want to visit this Commander Hua in person! At this moment of life and death, it's time for our Zhu family to make a statement!"

In the general office of Jiangnan Factory.

"Commander, the prices of raw materials such as steel, coal, cotton, dyes, iron sand, rubber, rice, and flour have risen again. Today is more than 20.00% higher than yesterday!"

"Prices of commanders, cotton yarn, cotton cloth, paper, soap, glass, food, cosmetics, and even matches all plummeted!"

"Also, many iron factories and spinning and knitting machine factories are in trouble due to rising raw material prices!"

"Crack!" Listening to each

When the information came, Hua Fei jumped up.He didn't understand why it took only a few T] to take a turn for the worse and become a mess. "How did this happen? Why did it plummet? Did they start selling?"

Huaxin wiped his sweat. These days, he hardly slept a good night's sleep, and his thin cheekbones were raised high. "Commander, we have calculated thousands of times, and they have already started planning before we calculated!"

"They did hoard rice and other raw materials quietly at the beginning. After sweeping the market, they almost swept away all the goods! And what we didn't know was that some of the funds placed orders with many factories in Suzhou, Shanghai and other places! Stimulated by demand , all the factories are running at full capacity and using loans to store goods. But who knows that raw materials will rise rapidly, and many orders will lose profits or even lose money."

"So in order to repay the loan, they sold the goods in the warehouse at a loss. But before them, those people lowered the price and sold light industrial products crazily, causing the prices of many products to plummet!"

"Currently, apart from the garment factories and shoe and hat factories under our control, which are struggling to survive under the maintenance of military orders, many companies invested by Galaxy are the focus of their attacks. The situation is very bad!"

"And!" Huaxin emphasized, "The people who attacked the factories invested by Yinhe are mostly from the north. It is believed that many foreign businessmen participated in the attacks on other national light industries!"

"The same is true of many iron factories and machine factories in Shanghai. They received a large number of orders in advance and produced on loan! Indeed, due to the soaring price of raw materials, they were unable to pay the orders, and they were in trouble!" added Bai Kaijun, the staff officer.

"Why is this happening!" Hua Fei was furious. He only focused on maintaining the lives of the people, but ignored the industrial crisis.Once their plot succeeds, Galaxy Investment will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the many concessional loans issued by the Pacific Bank to stimulate industries will inevitably be difficult to recover.Through the crackdown, the national industry has been seriously damaged, and foreign enterprises will monopolize the Chinese market again.

"Didn't I say that all national industries can buy cheap coal and iron from us?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and it was still Huadao, "Commander, the price of pig iron has skyrocketed from about 40 yuan per ton to 100 yuan per ton. The price of coal has also skyrocketed from about 3 yuan per ton to 7 yuan per ton. After the order to open warehouses and sell them outside, except for the amount of self-needed consumption, the other stocks were all sold out within a week!"

"Bastard!" Hua Fei roared angrily, so angry that he really wanted to pull out the gun and kill the bastard in charge of sales. "What is Zhang Nanxun doing? Didn't I say that it's just a partial sale?"

Everyone was as silent as a cicada, silent.Only Cao Yuan half-closed his eyes and muttered, "Zhang Nanxun is in Nanyang, trying his best to raise supplies. You can't blame those people in the steel factory. With such a huge profit, they are also for the development of the factory!"

Hua Fei stared at Cao Yuan, like a beast that chooses someone to devour!After a long while, he gradually calmed down.

Patting his forehead, he tried to control his emotions and said, "Qin Man, send someone to secretly investigate the sales personnel in the coal and iron factory. I don't want to see that the problem is with them!"

"Let's sell the goods. If they raise the price, we will sell the goods to control the price. We can't let the price continue to rise indefinitely! In addition, we will mobilize funds. I will buy as much as I can for any industrial products that have plummeted, and try to keep the price at the level of the goods. The cost price level cannot fall below the cost price!"

"In addition, order to slow down the construction process of some of our non-emergency engineering projects, and find a way to mobilize some coal and iron to support the national heavy industry in Shanghai! In any case, we must let their production continue! If there is difficulty in funding, As long as the business status of the enterprise can pass the review of the Pacific Bank, an emergency loan will be issued to them! Remember, the profit index of the review standard can be canceled, mainly to review the importance and indispensability of this industry for the national industrial construction, from The Jiangnan factory has transferred some technicians to provide guidance on technical audits!"

"Commander!" Huaxin said immediately, "They are still continuing to raise the price of raw materials. Our funds must be transferred from various places to stabilize prices. Whoever fails first will be completely defeated! Now we are paying back Huaxin. Fly funds and disperse the money on industrial products. You know, the light factories in Shanghai and Jiangsu, especially the cotton yarn and cotton cloth factories, have a lot of products accumulated!"

Huaxin said worriedly, "If we don't buy the factory in which Galaxy Investment has a stake, the rest... just leave it alone!"

Hua Fei raised his head and saw that many people showed approval, and he became more and more serious.Immediately stood up and walked around, and then stood up and asked solemnly, "Everyone, do you know what our goal is since our revolution? Almost everyone has joined the Baath Party? But what is the ultimate way for the country's revival? You know that we have fought against them. What is the ultimate goal of this blocking war?"

Seeing that everyone was thinking, Hua Fei continued, "Rejuvenation requires industrial revitalization first! If the construction of the entire industrial base cannot be completed, there will never be a strong national power! Ladies and gentlemen, there are many calls to save the country by industry today. However, relying on one point alone will never achieve the goal of saving the country! We need to develop industries, develop agriculture, revitalize the economy, strengthen the army, and build and develop in an all-round way, so that we can realize my dream of rejuvenating the country! Therefore, even if I abandon all my property, We can't let our nation's fledgling industry just decline like this!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. The members of the temporary emergency team were either the staff of the headquarters staff or the leader of Huafei Industrial Construction.Although everyone is dedicated and working hard.But they couldn't find a clear goal in their minds!The Ba'ath Party put forward many slogans, but they were all written by Shen Xian and other students. They didn't know what Hua Fei really wanted.
