Moreover, Chinese businessmen invest in the country, and the policy is also more open.

China's financial control is very strict. Many foreign banks want to develop in China, but they are rejected by the Bank of China, and they are not granted banking licenses.But Nanyang Chinese businessmen are different. They set up banks or financial institutions in China, and they have great flexibility in policy.

Just like the rapidly developing OCBC Bank.

This is currently the top bank in Asia, and it is a big bank that can enter the top ten in Asia.What did he rely on to rise, that is, relying on the connection between the Nanyang Chinese and the country.When OCBC Bank was developing, more than 20 top Chinese businessmen in Nanyang had invested in it, plus they owned shares in several Chinese government banks and the Shanghai Municipal Government.

Start the main business.

The business of overseas remittances.

Overseas Chinese around the world send money to China, mostly through OCBC Bank.At present, the annual remittances of overseas Chinese in Nanyang have reached 500 million U.S. dollars. When those Nanyang Chinese businessmen return to China to invest, their funds also go to the accounts of OCBC Bank.In addition, the Chinese government handed over some foreign exchange transactions to OCBC Bank, which allowed OCBC Bank to develop rapidly.

Moreover, the reputation of OCBC Bank is getting bigger and bigger, and their deposits are also getting more and more.Chinese working in Nanyang deposit their money in OCBC Bank.Similarly, Chinese businessmen earn money in China, and their funds are also stored in OCBC Bank.In addition, the government also takes care of the business of OCBC Bank, and a lot of funds entering and leaving the country are placed in OCBC Bank.

Therefore, OCBC Bank's current deposits rank seventh among Asian banks.It is precisely because of the close relationship between Nanyang Chinese merchants and the country that Nanyang Chinese merchants are much stronger in this time and space than in history.

What do these people do after they have strength?

buy land.

This is a Chinese businessman. It should be said that the Chinese people like to do the most. If they have money, they buy land and houses.Although the British, American, French and Dutch colonial countries had many restrictions on land, they could not resist the purchase of land by Chinese businessmen.In order to circumvent those bans, Chinese businessmen have tried everything.Even for more investment, it is very common to marry a local woman.

Therefore, at present, a large area of ​​cultivated land in Nanyang has fallen into the hands of Chinese businessmen, and many minerals in Nanyang are also in the hands of Chinese businessmen.Not to mention sugar, rubber, pineapple and other products.

Some top Chinese business tycoons have rubber plantations with a scale of more than [-] mu.Including cane sugar orchards, pineapple orchards, etc., with tens of thousands of acres, not just one or two people.

And farming, growing food.

Nanyang aborigines talk about farming, where is the opponent of the Chinese.Therefore, many Chinese businessmen bought land after earning money, and then cultivated it.You can also make a fortune by farming and selling food.

And to operate these, you need people.

The Chinese like to hug groups the most, and compared to the natives of Nanyang, the Chinese are much more diligent.The diligence of East Asians ranks first in the world.So they invite a large number of Chinese to work there, and the Chinese government encourages these people to go.Therefore, in just five years, 150 million Chinese have traveled south to Nanyang.

And after these people stabilize their foothold in Nanyang, their family members will follow them south.At that time, the number of Chinese in Nanyang will increase sharply.

"When these Chinese businessmen needed funds in our country, many of them returned to China to invest, which drove the domestic economy. When I served as a border defense supervisor, many Nanyang Chinese businessmen supported us. And they began to support the revolution in the late Qing Dynasty. Many people They also generously supported domestic education. Now that they are in trouble, we should give them a hand. Premier Dai, what do you think?"

"should."

Dai Kan nodded.

Dao: "That's why I told the Prime Minister. At present, the industries of many Chinese businessmen in Nanyang have been hit hard and their liquidity is insufficient. If we can't help them, many of them will not be able to survive. Now we help them, It can strengthen the relationship between us and Nanyang Chinese merchants. Moreover, all merchants in Nanyang are in a bad situation. If we help the Chinese merchants at this time, the strength of Nanyang Chinese merchants in Nanyang will be further strengthened. This will be of great benefit to our country in Nanyang benefit."

"kindness."

It's time to help.

Nanyang Chinese businessmen are an important bridge for China to increase its political and economic influence in Nanyang.Duan Xun can't watch them have something happen.And if you help them now, these people will return to China in the future.

Especially as Dai Kan said.

Now the Nanyang region is not only affected by Chinese merchants, but the entire Nanyang merchants, including British, American, French and Dutch merchants, have also suffered heavy losses.At this time, if China helps Chinese businessmen tide over the difficulties, they will soon be able to defeat those British, American, French and Dutch businessmen.Completely became the overlord of the Nanyang economic circle.

The wealthier and richer the Nanyang Chinese are, the more beneficial it is to China.Not to mention anything else, the richer they are, the more money they remit to the country every year.The entry of these funds into China has a very obvious role in promoting the local economy.After those Chinese businessmen have money, they return to China to invest, which will drive China's economy.

"How to help, have you ever thought about it?"

"I have communicated with Premier Wang, let Premier Wang talk about it."

"it is good."

Duan Xun looked at Wang Yongjiang.

Wang Yongjiang immediately said: "Prime Minister, there are two ways to help Nanyang Chinese businessmen. One is that many of them have insufficient liquidity because of a backlog of products. A company with insufficient liquidity is in danger of going bankrupt. So the best way is to Give them financial support."

"Financial support? How to do it."

"Use the bank. Prime Minister, between us and Nanyang Chinese businessmen, there is the Overseas Chinese Committee in politics to build a bridge, and the Overseas Chinese Bank as a bridge in the economy. We will use the Overseas Chinese Bank to help them this time. Let the Overseas Chinese Bank borrow from other banks in our country. A sum of money, and then use this money to support Chinese businessmen. Some Chinese businessmen can survive as long as they have a little liquidity. Many Chinese businessmen are still very strong. As long as they survive the most difficult time, they will soon be able to rise again .”

"Borrow money?"

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Indeed, the bank's support is very important at this time.Merchants who can get bank support can survive, and those who cannot get bank support will go bankrupt due to insufficient liquidity.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How much money do you think is more appropriate to borrow from OCBC Bank?"

"One hundred tons of gold."

535

"One hundred tons of gold."

Duan Xun frowned slightly.

At present, China's gold reserves are only limited to more than 1000 tons.Wang Yongjiang wants to take out [-] tons to rescue those Nanyang Chinese businessmen.This number is simply too large.

[-] tons of gold, about [-] million US dollars.

Such a large amount is also a large sum of money for a big country like China.In the just-concluded meeting, China needs to complete so many projects, and the funds needed to import machinery, equipment and technology are only [-] million U.S. dollars.

Now we have to spend [-] million US dollars to help Nanyang Chinese businessmen.So much money is thrown out at this time, and any country is flocking to it.

Big money.

But seeing Wang Yongjiang speaking very calmly, Duan Xun didn't say anything.It's better to listen to what Wang Yongjiang means first.Wang Yongjiang continued: "Prime Minister, the Chinese merchants in Nanyang are economically advantageous. In particular, sugar, rubber, pineapple, and even a lot of food in Nanyang are controlled by these Chinese merchants. But it does not mean that all Nanyang All industries are under the control of Chinese businessmen. After all, Nanyang is a colony of countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France and the Netherlands, and their industrial products are to be sold to Nanyang. Therefore, there are many factories established by the United Kingdom, the United States, France and the Netherlands in Nanyang to produce daily-use products. And These businessmen own many mines in the Nanyang area, control a lot of energy in Nanyang, and plunder a lot of cultivated land in Nanyang, and own a large area of ​​fertile land resources. But now their business is in big trouble, and it is estimated that those businessmen in the Nanyang area will soon going bankrupt.”

"kindness."

Duan Xun agrees with Wang Yongjiang.

The Great Depression came too suddenly and violently.European and American countries have not actively thought of a way, or they have no way at all.Even their coping methods work very differently.

For example, in the face of a sudden crisis in Germany, the measures taken are to reduce government spending and give those large enterprises a comprehensive tax cut, so as to reduce the burden on enterprises.

But the effect of this approach is completely negative.In the face of such a crisis, the government should actively respond and adopt a proactive fiscal policy.Let's get over the difficulties first, and the sequelae that appear can be resolved slowly.But not Germany, and while the government actively intervened in the economic crisis, they did just the opposite.As a result, not only did the crisis fail to be resolved, but the crisis became more and more serious.

Germany solved the crisis in this way, while France adopted a non-intervention strategy and let the market solve itself.Therefore, the most serious European economic crisis in history is France. France did not solve its domestic economic crisis until World War II.On the contrary, the United Kingdom has strong strength, and the development speed after World War I is very stable.In addition, after the gold standard was abolished, the price of the British pound dropped sharply, which made their industrial products very competitive, so they were least affected by the crisis.

But in any case, the current attitudes of European and American governments towards the crisis are not correct, because they have no experience.As a result, their domestic economy has suffered a big blow, and domestic affairs have made them burnt out.

As for these merchants in the colonies?

Where do they have time.For them, the colony serves only one purpose.That is to sell resources to the suzerain country, and then they produce industrial products and sell them to the colonies.That's what colonies do.

As for the life and death of these merchants in the colonies, they have no control over them.It should be said that the economic crisis this time is caused by overproduction and lack of market.The same is true of the British and French countries.After all, their colonies are backward and poor countries, and their markets are limited.The industrial products produced by Britain and France have been indigested by those colonies.
