"heard about it."

Someone nodded.

But he quickly sneered and said: "The Shanghai Education Bureau is also a joke. They set up this publishing house, and they built an office building without paying a penny. Then they asked the partner to pay 200 million, and they still own 40.00% of the shares. .It’s a joke. Isn’t this just wanting to be a white wolf? There is no such good thing. Even when the Manchu Qing government was in place, they would not dare to fool us businessmen like this, and they would not steal money like this.”

How dare the Shanghai Municipal Government come up with such a ridiculous thing.

Recently, the Shanghai Bureau of Education announced the establishment of the Shanghai Publishing House, preparing for government-business supervision.But Shanghai Education Residence had no money, so they built an office building, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.Moreover, this building was returned to China by the Japanese police station in Hongkou in the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nanjing".After the Chinese government took over these Japanese properties, some were mortgaged to banks for loans, some were auctioned on a small scale, and some were handed over to the lower departments as office buildings.

The Shanghai Education Bureau is also allocated several office buildings.This time when the Shanghai Publishing House was established, the Shanghai Education Bureau took out the building on Wusong Road as the publishing house.

Just such a building was named Shanghai Publishing House.Then the publishing house hangs under the Shanghai education circle, and then wants to extract a huge sum of 200 million yuan from Shanghai businessmen.

Think beautiful.

Where is such a good thing.

"You think it's funny?"

"Of course it's funny. It's a money grab."

"You."

Yu Qiaqing shook her head.

I really want to scold short-sightedness.

Ningbo is really good at helping many people do business, and everyone is better than a monkey.Not to mention now, Ningbo merchants will be famous in China in decades or hundreds of years.

But in Yu Qiaqing's view, the young businessmen who have emerged in recent years are far inferior to the older generation of Ningbo businessmen who came to Shanghai to work hard in the late Qing Dynasty.The Ningbo businessmen who came to Shanghai to work hard in the early days really survived in the cracks, and many of them later became well-known bigwigs in Shanghai.But now these young Ningbo businessmen have grown up under the wings of the Ningbo bosses in the early years, lacking a big structure.

So he sighed and said, "Did you know that two new publishing houses have just been established recently?"

"heard."

"One is Chongqing Publishing House and the other is Shanghai Publishing House. Haven't you heard anything?"

"what?"

"The Ministry of Education has to implement a big plan. One is to prepare the unified use of one teaching material for primary schools across the country. All primary schools in the country will be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, and then a unified academic certificate will be issued to match the middle schools across the country. Another is Carry out a major literacy campaign. In order to cooperate with these two major plans, the Ministry of Education will rewrite primary school textbooks, and also compile a new dictionary and new literacy textbooks. Do you know how many copies will be printed? Tens of millions of copies. What a big business this is. Do you think the Chongqing Publishing House and Shanghai Publishing House established under the Ministry of Education are for their purpose? It is to print these things.”

In April, the Ministry of Education announced the Ministry of Education's work plan for the next stage.

One is to start the unification of primary school education across the country, and to carry out a national literacy campaign.From the plan of the Ministry of Education, we can judge the purpose of the Ministry of Education's establishment of the publishing house, that is, the ability of people.Yu Qiaqing saw it.

This is obviously for the Ministry of Education's next plan.

"There will be tens of millions of copies in the first batch of publications. Look, this is a big business for the government. Without government orders, which of the publishing houses across the country can have such a big business. Why did the Shanghai Publishing House dare to Shouting out such a price is because they can attract business from the government. This time, the Ministry of Education's publishing orders will definitely be distributed to Shanghai Publishing House. And not only this time, the textbooks needed by the Ministry of Education in the future will be Give it to their own publishing house. Just think about how many textbooks the Ministry of Education needs every year, how many schools and how many students we have in Shanghai alone. If it is nationwide, how many students are there now? There are as many students in school as there are textbooks that will be needed."

"President Yu, even so, it shouldn't be so expensive. Who can be sure that Shanghai Publishing House will be responsible for all textbooks in the future? Once everyone finds out that there are huge benefits in it, someone will definitely follow."

That person is not convinced.

So what if we can get big orders from the Ministry of Education every year?

With so many textbooks, it is impossible for all of them to be designated by the Ministry of Education.It is those schools that buy those textbooks, and it is not the Ministry of Education that pays directly.You can't specify which schools all use textbooks from Shanghai Publishing House.

Every place has its own interests.

Like the Hunan provincial government, they also need to make money.They will definitely support their own publishing houses, and for the first time may have to follow the words of the Ministry of Education.However, the subsequent publications will definitely be handed over to the local publishing houses in Hunan.

Keep the money in Hunan.

The same goes for other provinces.For the economic benefit of their own province, they must support the enterprises in their own province.

"You see that."

Yu Qiaqing sighed.

a bunch of idiots.

So Yu Qiaqing continued: "The publishing house, accept the government's orders from above, and then hand over the orders to the units below. Don't you have a printing factory in your hands? Don't you have a paper mill? If we become a shareholder of Shanghai Publishing House, then these businesses will Can it be handed over to the printing factory and paper mill in our hands. This is an important industry that can support a large number of people. It can make money up and down."

Don't understand something so obvious.

As long as this publishing house starts to develop, how much business will it give Ningbo businessmen.

At that time, the printing factory designated by the publishing house can be the printing factory of Ningbo merchants, and the designated paper can be the paper mill of Ningbo merchants.How much money can businessmen in Ningbo earn by then.

Up and down can develop.

"And we have a good relationship with the Ministry of Education. Is it a good business to build a new school in the future? Do school desks and chairs cost money? Can we win such a business? And school uniforms, right? It’s also a business. The education sector alone has a lot of business for us.”

"President Yu is very correct..."

Liu Hongsheng nodded.

I agree with Yu Qiaqing's statement.

China is a big country, and no businessman has the ability to control the Chinese economy.Because the size of the Chinese government is there.Although the current Chinese government runs a fiscal deficit every year, the Chinese government's annual fiscal revenue exceeds one billion silver dollars, and in 1923 it received 13 billion silver dollars.

It's just central finance.

And the locality also has its own fiscal revenue.

If the central and local finances are combined, the current national annual fiscal revenue is more than 20 billion silver dollars.With so much fiscal revenue, the annual purchase amount is very amazing.

Casually leaking out between the fingers is enough for those businessmen to develop.

Needless to say, the government's control of the Chinese economy is not limited to fiscal revenue.Because the banks controlled by the government control China's finance.The mining industry, steel industry, railway, highway, telephone and telegraph, power plant, and shipping that are controlled by the government are amazing.These government-controlled enterprises hand over as much business to the outside world every year.

"The Shanghai Publishing House I mentioned is just an example. Let me show you how much profit you can make by cooperating with the government. Not to mention the current Chinese banks, which are all government-controlled banks. Dealing well with the government is tantamount to Deal well with these banks. In fact, we were the first to contact Prime Minister Duan in the cabinet, but now? Missed the opportunity, missed the opportunity.”

Yu Qiaqing shook her head again and again.

wrong selection.

As early as six years ago, when Duan Xun was still serving as a border supervisor, their Ningbo Gang had a relationship with Duan Xun.It should be said that the relationship between the Ningbo Gang and the Duan Xun regime should be second only to the Southwest Commercial Gang.

It's a pity that the Ningbo Gang swayed from side to side several times.

Because Duan Xun's economic policy conflicted with the interests of the Ningbo Gang, they cooperated with others several times.Including cooperation with Lu Yongxiang.

As a result, the relationship between the Ningbo Gang and the Duan Xun regime has become increasingly distant.

Thinking about it now, Yu Qiaqing felt like a failure.

If they have been following Duan Xun and posted government business early, the current Ningbo Gang will be able to call the wind and rain like those businessmen in the southwest, and their strength will increase greatly.
