The situation at that time was that only the Soviet Union was the most forthright in the world.Dare to spend money to buy all kinds of machinery and equipment.The Soviet Union can have so much money, and the Soviet Union is rich in gold, and the Soviet government has a lot of gold reserves in its hands.And it has something to do with the fact that the Soviet Union exports a large amount of grain to the world every year in exchange for foreign exchange.

Therefore, those European and American capitalists sold the machinery, equipment and technology in their hands to the Soviet Union.They didn't even hide some military technology. As long as the Soviet Union dared to ask for a price, they dared to sell it.Because they were severely short of funds in the face of the Great Depression, Soviet funds were life-saving money for them.

The same is true for China.

China is poor, but for a country as big as China, as long as there is a strong government, fiscal revenue can increase rapidly.What's more, Duan Xun has collected so much gold from the people, and now he is considered a big gold master.In the current situation of the Great Depression, European and American capitalists are still counting on the Chinese market, and counting on China to save their lives.

So China cannot catch up.In addition to purchasing machinery and equipment in the United States, some machinery and equipment are also purchased in Europe.Even for the same machinery and equipment, the Chinese government still needs to see which one is better and which one is cheaper between the United States and European countries.

To shop around.

Save a little if you can.Although China is a big money maker, China itself does not have that much money.Compared with China's size and the need to import so much machinery and equipment, China's gold reserves are really nothing.So we still have to learn to save.

"Prime Minister, the result of our discussion is to let Shi Zhaoji take full responsibility, and Wei Chen's group is responsible for specific matters."

"kindness."

It's a good arrangement.

Shi Zhaoji is the Chinese Minister to the UK, but he also serves as the head of the European Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Wei Chen group is the Chinese ambassador to Germany. The cooperation between China and Germany in the past few years has been mediated by Wei Chen group in Germany.

The two of them worked really well together.

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Then this matter is settled. Minister Ren, when will we leave?"

"Prime Minister, as long as you approve, we will leave within three days."

"it is good."

535

End of the meeting.

The others left, and the five vice premiers Dai Kan, Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yongtai, Yan Huiqing, and Liang Huankui stayed.Dai Kan said: "Prime Minister, Mr. Tan Kah Kee's education donation of 20 US dollars has been transferred directly to the accounts of Xiamen University and Jimei University through OCBC Bank. Xiamen University and Jimei University have reported to the Ministry of Education that they have received the money." money."

"Mr. Tan Kah Kee is really high-spirited."

After Duan Xun finished listening, he couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

Speaking of Tan Kah Kee, he is really high-spirited and honest, and he is really a person worthy of admiration.He is from Fujian, so he has a deep affection for his hometown.Tan Kah Kee has donated a lot to the country, among which the most donated is education in Fujian.

At present, there are nearly 20 primary schools in Fujian, and more than [-] middle schools were established with donations from Tan Kah Kee.Not only these, Tan Kah Kee also established two universities in Xiamen.

One is Xiamen University and the other is Jimei University.

At present, these two universities are well-known in China.Because when these two universities were established, Tan Kah Kee spent a lot of money.After its establishment, Tan Kah Kee has a large sum of money to support their two universities every year.Although later when the universities were reformed, Tan Kah Kee voluntarily turned these two universities into public universities.

But even if it becomes a public university, Tan Kah Kee still donates 20 US dollars to their two universities every year.This has been the case since the establishment of the two universities.Regardless of whether his business is good or not, it has never been interrupted over the years.

So far, Tan Kah Kee has donated US$180 million to these two universities alone.Converted into domestic currency, that is about 600 million yuan.

At present, no one in China's public universities can match the funding of these two universities.And these two universities are not only donated by Tan Kah Kee alone, but also a large number of Nanyang businessmen from Fujian donated to the two universities.

It is precisely because of this that these two universities are currently popular among Chinese universities.Xiamen University's business and medical programs, and Jimei University's business programs are among the top departments in domestic universities.

After the Great Depression in the United States last year, the European economy was greatly affected. Even a big country like China needs to take precautions immediately.Businessmen such as Chen Jiageng are even more precarious.Every business has been greatly affected.

But Tan Kah Kee is very trustworthy.

The donation of 20 US dollars per year is given as promised, and it has not been broken at all.Let Duan Xun really admire.At this point in time, $20 is not a small sum.

"Yes."

Dai Kan nodded and continued: "It's not just Xiamen University and Jimei University. I know that Mr. Tan Kah Kee has been donating [-] US dollars to the Fujian Provincial Department of Education before, asking for the money to be used for primary education. This year the money is the same It has not been pulled down, and it has already reached the account of the Provincial Department of Education."

"How is Mr. Tan Kah Kee's business?"

Duan Xun sighed.

Duan Xun was a little embarrassed by Chen Jiageng's behavior.At such a difficult time, he still did not forget his promise and donated 25 US dollars to domestic education.

So Duan Xun asked about Tan Kah Kee's business.Dai Kandao: "Mr. Tan Kah Kee is the richest overseas Chinese, and he owns a lot of industries. This time, the US economy has problems, and most of Mr. Tan Kah Kee's industries have been greatly affected. In particular, the global price of rubber has plummeted, and the demand has plummeted. Mr. Tan Kah Kee lost a lot of business. I heard that some of Mr. Tan Kah Kee’s industries have already suffered serious losses. If Mr. Tan Kah Kee’s profound background, many of his industries would not be able to persist.”

"What about other Chinese businessmen?"

"It's the same, it's all very bad. Prime Minister, you also know that Nanyang Chinese businessmen are mainly engaged in the raw material business of rubber, sugar, and pineapple. The current world economy is not good, the price of raw materials has dropped sharply, and the demand has also dropped greatly. Let them suppress There are a lot of goods. So their business is not very good. Some Chinese businessmen who are short of funds are already facing bankruptcy."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Yes.

This is an economic crisis, the most serious economic crisis in history. Many countries are in danger, and many countries have suffered heavy economic casualties.Even the top powers such as Britain, the United States and France are in trouble.These businessmen, how can they resist the general trend.

Duan Xun thought quietly.

Nanyang, this is Duan Xun's sphere of influence in his future plans.Duan Xun can allow anything, but in the future, European and American countries will never be allowed to intervene in Nanyang affairs.

Because Nanyang should be China's sphere of influence.And as long as China controls Nanyang, the entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even South Asia will depend on China's face.

It's the same as when the United States first controlled the Americas, and then slowly extended its fangs into the world.China should also stabilize East Asia and Southeast Asia first, and then stretch out its fangs.If China cannot even control East Asia and Southeast Asia, then China can only stay on land.

So Nanyang is not a trivial matter.

Duan Xun raised his head and said to Yang Yongtai: "How many people have migrated to Nanyang in recent years?"

"a lot of."

Since Duan Xun formed the cabinet this time and clearly confirmed the position of Dai Kan as the first deputy prime minister for the first time, Yang Yongtai's mood dropped a lot.Originally, Yang Yongtai had been competing with Dai Kan for the position of first deputy prime minister. He hoped to take over the position of prime minister in Duan Xun's cabinet in the future, and hoped to become the second in command of Duan Xun's political group.For this, the competition between Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai is still fierce.

Before, Duan Xun was laissez-faire with their competition, allowing them to continue the competition.

But now it's clear.

Duan Xun has completely established Dai Kan's position as the second-in-command, and made Dai Kan the first deputy prime minister.When Duan Xun is unable to exercise his power as prime minister due to other reasons, Dai Kan can act as the prime minister of the cabinet.This made Yang Yongtai lose his original hope, and of course he lost his previous motivation.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Now that Duan Xun asked, Yang Yongtai said mechanically: "In 1928 and 1929, the number of people from our country going to the Nanyang region continued to increase. Chinese businessmen owned more and more manors in Nanyang, as well as cultivated land, mines, and There are also many companies. Therefore, more and more workers are needed, so many people go to Nanyang. In the past two years or so, about 70 people have migrated to Nanyang. And there are about 20 people who migrate temporarily every year. They worked in Nanyang for half a year, and then returned to China for half a year."

Nanyang Chinese businessmen, they controlled the economic lifeline of Nanyang.

Even the colonial countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France and the Netherlands have been suppressing the development of Chinese businessmen openly and secretly, but they cannot stop the rise of Chinese businessmen.The Chinese businessmen in Nanyang are extremely wealthy. There are several super rich with a net worth of tens of millions of pounds, and there are a lot of rich people with a net worth of more than one million pounds.

If it is history, they certainly cannot have so many top rich people.

But in this time and space, these rich Nanyang merchants have a very good relationship with China.The development of China's economy in recent years has also given these Nanyang Chinese businessmen a great opportunity.Because they have abundant funds, and domestic policies are very good for these Nanyang Chinese businessmen.Even in terms of taxation, it is much more favorable than domestic companies and foreign companies.Therefore, many Nanyang Chinese businessmen own many factories and a large number of industries in China.
