Beiyang reactionaries

It is adjusted almost every few months.

"There won't be too many problems. The main reason is that my country's demand for oil is growing too fast. If we can't increase oil production, there will be a lack of oil in the market. Therefore, the Economic and Development Commission is going to adjust the original plan."

"How to adjust?"

"Further liberalize the coal industry, increase the power of local governments, and reduce the investment of the Economic and Development Commission. The funds that the Economic and Development Commission originally wanted to invest in the coal industry will be allocated to the oil industry to strengthen support for the oil industry. In the Second Five-Year Plan At the end, the output of Daqing Oilfield reached 1100 million tons, the output of Yumen Oilfield exceeded 100 million tons, the output of Yanchang Oilfield exceeded 50 tons, and the output of Zhungeer Basin exceeded 300 million tons. This is the end of the Second Five-Year Plan. At that time, my country's oil production reached nearly 1500 million tons."

"Liberate the coal industry?"

China's coal production has reached a certain scale.Although the demand is constantly increasing, it is no longer the most urgent.In fact, in addition to large coal bases, China also has many ordinary coal mines with mediocre reserves.Such coal mines can be handed over to local governments or private businessmen for investment.Further decentralization of power by the Economic and Development Commission will allow more local funds and private funds to enter the coal industry.This can replace the investment of the Economic and Development Commission.

"You have to make a detailed plan. Once this power is delegated, various small coal mines below will flock to you. You have to formulate regulatory regulations."

"Yes."

In 1931, the great construction in China continued.

More investment and more construction than in 1930. A large number of machinery and equipment ordered in 1930, in fact, a large part did not enter China in 1930.It takes at least half a year for these machines and equipment to enter China from the time of placing an order, and many of them take a year.Therefore, a lot of machinery and equipment began to flood into China in 1931.

Approved large projects are also started one after another.

Most of the major investment projects in the Second Five-Year Plan are concentrated in the north, with Xi'an, Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang, Shenyang, and Anshan as the centers.Especially Shenyang and Xi'an, one is defined by the government as the industrial center city of Northeast China, and the other is defined as the industrial center city of Northwest China.A large number of key government projects will fall in Shenyang and Xi'an.

Including aircraft manufacturing plants, tractor factories, automobile manufacturing plants, and cable factories, with the influx of machinery and equipment, construction has begun in full swing.

The machinery and equipment imported from the United States mainly use the port of Vladivostok, and a small amount of imported equipment passes through the port of Dalian, and finally enters the northeast by railway.As for the machinery and equipment imported from Europe and Japan, they mainly use Tianjin Port and Dalian Port to enter China.

The current Dalian Port is one of the most important ports in China, just like the Shanghai Port.

Resources from the Northeast are transported to the South, especially a large amount of coal, oil and timber, all through Dalian Port.A large number of resources in the Northeast are exported to Japan, including oil, coal, iron ore, and rice, all of which are exported to Japan, all of which choose Dalian Port.As well as the Northeast's soybean exports to European and American countries, in addition to using the Trans-Siberian Railway, most of them choose Dalian Port.As well as the construction of large-scale industries in the Northeast, many of the machinery and equipment needed also pass through Dalian Port.

Therefore, in terms of throughput, Dalian Port and Shanghai Port are neck and neck.On the basis of the previous construction by Tsarist Russia and Japan, Dalian Port has been constantly expanding in recent years.The population of Dalian is also growing continuously, rapidly growing into a big city in China.

And 1931 was the year when government investment and private investment went hand in hand. In 1930, investment by private businessmen in China was still lagging behind, but after 1931, investment by private businessmen became active.

A large amount of private capital poured into all walks of life.

Compared with government capital, private capital has a great advantage, that is, their investment is very flexible.Private businessmen can quickly discover and grasp business opportunities, and quickly find investment targets.

That's it right now.

The large-scale construction of several important cities in China, and the small expansion of some cities not planned by the central government, have rapidly increased the demand for cement, glass, cables, and timber.

Government-backed factories are completely unable to meet domestic demand.

So China can only import a large amount of these things from Japan.In order to improve the situation, the government has set up large-scale cement factories, glass factories, and cable factories in the Second Five-Year Plan.However, the construction of large-scale cement factories, glass factories, and cable factories requires a lot of investment and machinery and equipment that needs to be brought in.

If you want to complete the construction, it will take the second half of 1932 or the first half of 1933 to start production.

But private businessmen are different.

They do not have such a strong financial strength as the government, so it is impossible for them to invest in the construction of large factories.Therefore, they are investing in the construction of small cement factories, glass factories, and cable factories. Anyway, the current situation in China is that these building materials are in short supply.As long as you produce it, you can sell it.You can make money completely with your eyes closed.

Therefore, many private businessmen quickly imported machinery and equipment from European, American and Japanese countries.They all directly buy the complete sets of equipment from those small, bankrupt factories, and they can produce them after they are brought back.

And they have a very good set of loans.

For foreign exchange, they first searched for gold in the country, and used them to quickly import a batch of machinery and equipment to expand the production capacity of the factory.Then contacted European and American financial institutions and obtained loans from them.These businessmen in China are very smart.

you could put it that way.

Government investment is in the most basic areas.Private investment can make up for some loopholes in government investment and make up for the lack of government investment.

The reason why New China restricts private investment is to concentrate all capital to develop heavy industry.However, China in Duan Xun's hands, because it has not experienced large-scale war damage, the folk wealth is still very sufficient.After Duan Xun entered Beijing, he used financial means to "loot" a lot of wealth from the people.In particular, the issuance of banknotes, the mandatory exchange of silver, and the subsequent "gold bills" are all disguised forms of plundering folk wealth.With these wealth at the bottom, the government funds are still relatively abundant.Coupled with the rare opportunity of the Great Depression, the government has enough funds to develop heavy industry by itself.That's why the government allows the development of private capital.

Moreover, the activeness of private capital has also benefited the government a lot.There are some fields that the government is planning to invest in, but because of the influx of private capital, the government does not need to invest.In this way, the government can save the money and focus on investing in other areas.For example, the investment in the coal field has been transferred to the construction of oil fields.

The combination of government investment and private investment allowed China's economy to flourish in 1931.The sequelae of overcapacity are all things to come later, and there is no time to think about this at this stage.So now, China's economy is very active.

Such a situation is unique in the world.

In a word, the scenery here is unique.Capital pursues profits, and they will go wherever they can make money. In 1931, a large amount of foreign capital also began to pour into China to invest and build factories in China.In 1931 alone, more than 6000 million US dollars of foreign capital entered China.

The prosperity of China's economy has driven the development of all walks of life.

Food, clothing and housing.

This is the most basic stuff.This contains a lot of business opportunities, especially under the current situation in China, the business opportunities are even more unlimited.Just like after the reform and opening up of New China, in the 80s, basically as long as you are brave, you can make money in any industry.The same is true of China now.

In addition, China is opening up more and more.

Therefore, a large amount of foreign capital is attracted.These foreign direct investments not only energized the Chinese economy, but also brought a large amount of foreign exchange to China.

In 1931, China spent US$14 billion on imports of machinery and equipment, and US$3.7 million on imports of industrial products.Created a history of Chinese imports.Among the global exports of machinery and equipment, China's imports accounted for 62%, causing a worldwide sensation.And China's crazy import of machinery and equipment has deeply affected the price of machinery and equipment in the world.

The same goes for exports.

In addition to the export of traditional raw materials, China increased grain exports in 1931, and the annual grain export volume exceeded 200 billion catties.And since this year, China has also become an oil exporting country. In 1931, China exported 186 million tons of oil to Japan.

When global trade is in a downturn and the world is in economic crisis, China's import and export volume is rising steadily.The total volume of trade is more than double what it was in 1929.

But overall, imports are far more than exports, and China's trade deficit is very serious. In 1931, China's import and export deficit exceeded one billion U.S. dollars.Excluding loans from European and American financial institutions, foreign direct investment, and overseas remittances, China itself still consumes nearly US$4 million in foreign exchange.As a result, China's gold reserves were depleted at an astonishing rate. After 1931, the gold reserves in the hands of the Chinese government had bottomed out. At present, the gold reserves in the hands of the Chinese government are only about 2 million U.S. dollars.

"Is it serious?"

After entering 1932, the Second Five-Year Plan continued.

The overall situation is still very good.Of course, there are many problems, but they are all technical aspects.At the macro level, the key projects formulated in the Second Five-Year Plan are steadily advancing.Many key projects have no experience in China, so the chief engineers hired are experienced experts from Europe and America.The salaries of these people are very high, more than double that of Duan Xun, the prime minister of the cabinet.The arrival of a large number of foreign experts and technicians has greatly made up for China's shortcomings in this area.

The situation is very good.

Some problems that arise, as long as they do not affect the overall plan, are resolved by each department.The slightly more serious ones are regulated by the Economic and Development Commission.

Only when something happens that affects the overall plan will the problem be fed back to the cabinet.Either the prime minister's office meeting, or the cabinet committee meeting to discuss and deal with it.

As the prime minister of the cabinet, Duan Xun mainly focuses on matters at a large level.

"178 people were killed, 339 were seriously injured, and 735 were slightly injured."

"so much?"

Duan Xun frowned.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Originally, all the construction was progressing steadily, but there was a large-scale fighting incident in Inner Mongolia.More than 4000 people participated in the fighting, and the casualties were so serious.

"This kind of fighting is very common in Inner Mongolia, and it has been like this since the end of the Qing Dynasty. But no one thought that the scale of the fighting this time was so large and the casualties were so serious."
