Beiyang reactionaries

But the current output is not stable. The designed output of the two cable factories should be 4.4 tons a year.However, the output of the two cable factories was only [-] tons.

"These are the top ten key investment projects in the power industry formulated by the cabinet in the second five-year plan. However, during the second five-year plan, due to changes in the situation, the Economic and Development Commission increased some investment projects. Three power plant expansion projects, one Cable factory construction projects. During the Second Five-Year Plan period, the cabinet directly invested in the expansion of Beijing Power Plant, Shijiazhuang Power Plant, and Jinling Power Plant (Nanjing Power Plant). In addition, a cable factory with an annual output of [-] tons was built in Chongqing."

“扩建后的北京发电厂，总装机容量12.7万千瓦，1933年的发电量是5.8亿度。石家庄发电厂总装机容量4.3万千瓦，1933年的发电量是1.2亿度。金陵发电厂的总装机容量是7.7万千瓦，1933年的发电量是2.8亿度。重庆电缆厂在1933年2月落成，1933年的产量是1.6万吨。”

The second five-year plan was really a great leap forward.

When the plan was first formulated in 1929, the Economic and Development Commission identified 23 key investment projects.When the economic crisis broke out in the United States, an additional plan was drawn up, which resulted in 43 key investment projects.However, after Ren Hongjun arrived in the United States, according to the economic situation in the United States at that time, he proposed to increase investment in key projects and import more low-cost machinery and equipment.Therefore, the construction of key projects has been increasing, and it has become more than 70 projects after one year.

This is not over yet.

China has chosen to borrow from European and American financial institutions, and the loan amount has exceeded 20 billion US dollars so far.With so many loans, there are more than 130 key projects in the Second Five-Year Plan.

The number of supporting factories around these key projects is very clear.When the Second Five-Year Plan was formulated, the government planned to build more than 400 factories in total.But in the end, it increased again and again, resulting in the construction of more than 2000 factories, more than five times the initial number.

The power industry alone can see that.

Increase step by step, and finally there are 14 key investment projects by the Economic and Development Commission.

"In addition to these key projects directly invested by the Economic and Development Commission, local investment in the power industry has also increased a lot. In the Second Five-Year Plan, local provincial governments invested in new power plants and expanded power plant projects. There are 26 projects. The most typical The most famous is the Shenyang Thermal Power Plant and Fushun Power Plant project led by the Fengtian Provincial Government in July 1932. After two years of construction, the Fushun Power Plant was expanded to a power plant with a total installed capacity of 7 kilowatts and an annual power generation of 24 billion kWh. It has become the factory with the highest power generation among thermal power plants in my country. The total installed capacity of Shenyang Thermal Power Plant is 11 kilowatts, and the annual power generation is 18 million kWh."

"In addition to the investment projects of the Economic and Development Commission and local governments, many power plants in my country have used their own funds to carry out self-expansion projects. Many large power plants in major cities in my country have implemented their own projects during the second five-year period. Expansion was carried out. Power plants in big cities such as Chongqing Power Plant, Wuchang Power Plant, Hanyang Power Plant, and Tianjin Power Plant.”

Fan Xudong almost followed through on the power industry in the Second Five-Year Plan.

Finally, in the midst of everyone's attention: "After five years of hard work, my country's power industry has made great progress. In 1933, my country's power generation was 203 billion kWh, and my country's cable output was 1934 tons. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Electric Power, In 220, my country's power generation capacity will reach [-] billion kWh."

Quietly.

Many people stared straight at Fan Xudong.Power generation, like coal production and steel production, is the hardest data in the industry.China's power generation capacity exceeds 200 billion kilowatt-hours, which is impossible no matter how you think about it.This kind of power generation cannot be consumed without strong industrial strength.

Coal production, oil production, steel production, and power generation up to now, if the data is correct, then everyone needs to re-statistic the scale of China's industry.So all of a sudden there was complete silence below.

Fan Xudong waited for a while, and after everyone had digested it, he said, "The production of cars will be announced next."

"In 1933, my country produced a total of 37.9 vehicles of various types. Among them, the output of cars was 26.8, the output of trucks was 7.7, and the output of buses was 3.4."

"Among them, Wuchang General Motors Factory produced 8.8 cars, Wuchang Ford Motor Factory produced 13.7 cars, Wuchang Automobile Factory produced 2.1 cars, Chongqing Automobile Factory produced 0.9 cars, Xi'an Automobile Factory produced 0.7 cars, and Shenyang Automobile Factory produced 0.6 cars. The automobile factory produces [-] cars."

"Wuchang General Motors Factory produces 1.6 trucks, Wuchang Ford Motor Factory produces 2.8 trucks, Wuchang Automobile Factory produces 1.9 trucks, Chongqing Automobile Factory, Xi'an Automobile Factory, and Shenyang Automobile Factory produce a total of 1.4 trucks. truck."

"Wuchang Ford Automobile Factory produces 2.2 passenger cars, Wuchang Automobile Factory produces 0.9 passenger cars, and Chongqing Automobile Factory produces 0.3 passenger cars."

At present, the number of automobile factories in China is limited, so the data is also very simple.

There are currently six car factories in China.The automobile factories with the strongest production capacity are all in Wuhan.In particular, the Wuhan General Motors Factory and the Wuhan Ford Motor Factory have been in China for many years.

General Motors and Ford, their Asian factories are located in Wuhan.The two of them built factories with a designed output of [-] vehicles.However, in terms of later development, the development of Wuchang Ford Motor Factory was far better than that of Wuhan General Motors Factory.

Regardless of output or sales, Ford has defeated GM in China.In particular, Ford's various models are cheaper than General Motors, and they work better than General Motors.

And Ford makes all kinds of cars.China needs trucks, so it produces trucks.China needs passenger cars, so it produces passenger cars.It is completely developed according to market demand.

In comparison, GM's decision-making is somewhat rigid.

Moreover, the major shareholder of the Wuchang General Motors Plant has changed from General Motors to the Chinese government.During the Great Depression, General Motors withdrew from the global front because it was facing bankruptcy.Sold a large share of his own factory in China.At present, the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Wuhan Municipal Government, and Wuchang Automobile Factory own 79% of the shares of Wuchang General Motors Factory.

However, the factory can still continue to produce GM series cars, of course, only limited to the models previously licensed by GM.So it is still called Wuchang General Motors Factory.

Because Wuhan has Wuchang General Motors Factory, Wuchang Ford Motor Factory, and China's first car factory, the Wuchang Automobile Factory built in cooperation with Germany after World War I, so Wuhan is a well-deserved car city in China.

The Wuchang Automobile Factory, like the Wuchang Tractor Factory, was built with machines and equipment imported from Germany after World War I.It has been more than ten years now.

Strength is still available.

Just because there are three of China's largest automobile factories in Wuhan, more than 80% of China's automobiles are currently produced in Wuhan.

In addition to their three car factories, China also built three new car factories in the Second Five-Year Plan.They are Chongqing Automobile Factory, Xi'an Automobile Factory and Shenyang Automobile Factory.

Both the Xi'an Automobile Factory and the Shenyang Automobile Factory imported American machinery and equipment, especially the Shenyang Automobile Factory was a product of cooperation with the Ford Motor Factory.The machinery and equipment were imported from the United States, and then several models of complete vehicle technology were purchased directly from Ford.That is to say, Ford Motor sold the design drawings and parameters of several models of their cars to China.In the future, the Shenyang Automobile Factory can directly produce several models of Ford Motors, as long as the name is changed.On the contrary, the Chongqing Automobile Factory is a factory built with machinery and equipment imported from the UK.Produced is a British model car.

The design output of these three automobile factories is still very high.Several factories are designed to produce more than [-] vehicles, which belong to large automobile factories.However, these three automobile factories, like the Soviet Union, have not yet been able to fully release their automobile production, and their annual output is only a few thousand vehicles.

"Minister Fan."

"Minister Fan, Minister Fan."

Many reporters who were shocked by the amount of power generation before, this time they reacted.So immediately raise your hand to ask a question.Fan Xudong saw the reporters below and nodded to Chen Bulei.Chen Bulei immediately pointed to a person in the back row.

Refers to another foreign reporter.

it's actually really easy.

This time the press conference was originally aimed at those foreign reporters.The Chinese government is using this opportunity to let foreign governments know the current industrial situation in China.Let them not look at China in the usual light.

So from the very beginning, foreign journalists were called to ask questions.

"I am Robert Lee, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao. I would like to ask Minister Fan, are all the cars produced in China bought by China itself? Are they all digested in China? How much is China's annual car sales?"

Fan Xudong was a little surprised at first.

Because "Ta Kung Pao" was founded by some Catholics and French ministers in the early years, it had French influence from the beginning.At that time, the "Ta Kung Pao" was most famous for its verbal fight with Yuan Shikai every day, which was a sensation.From the time when Yuan Shikai was the Minister of Beiyang in the late Qing Dynasty, he was at odds with Yuan Shikai until Yuan Shikai became the president.But that was all in the early days.

After Yuan Shikai died, the famous "Ta Kung Pao" was sold to others.Later, "Ta Kung Pao" became a newspaper controlled by Duan Qirui's "Anfu Department".After the decline of the "Anfu Department", the "Ta Kung Pao" began to decline, and the boss went back and forth several times.

It has long lost the prestige of the year.

"Ta Kung Pao" does not have much influence in China at present. I did not expect the reporter from "Ta Kung Pao" to be a foreigner.Fan Xudong was a little surprised because he knew the prestige of "Ta Kung Pao" in the early years.How can such a declining newspaper hire foreign journalists?Could it be that "Ta Kung Pao" has changed its boss recently?

Fan Xudong really guessed right.

Not so long ago, Ta Kung Pao was controlled by the People's Party.The People's Party plans to turn "Ta Kung Pao" into a party newspaper, and it is a party newspaper facing the world.

Just like the overseas edition of "People's Daily" in history.It's just that Fan Xudong is the Minister of Industry, and the "Ta Kung Pao" changed its boss recently, so Fan Xudong doesn't know.

"For the specific figures of China's auto sales, you can look at the data released by the Ministry of Commerce in the future. But I can briefly introduce it. China is the largest auto producer in Asia, and more than 90% of Asian autos are produced in China, so China's autos are still Many of them were exported. As for the specific export data, the customs will announce it later. I will talk about the approximate data. In 1933, more than 4 cars were exported to Japan, and about 7000 cars were exported to Southeast Asia. Some sporadic cars were exported to the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and this part accounted for about 1933. In [-], China exported about [-] cars, and the rest of the cars were purchased domestically. These are just General data and more accurate data will be announced later by the General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Commerce."

Data is just beautiful.

China produces nearly 40 cars a year.Although it cannot be compared with the United States, which produced more than 200 million cars seven or eight years ago, compared with other countries, the car production is already quite high.And it actually looks like a lot, but not much at all.Especially for trucks and buses, the demand in China is very strong.

In several surrounding cities centered on Shanghai, the current number of passenger cars exceeds [-], and the demand is still increasing.Because at present, private cars are still a luxury in China, and there are very few people who can own private cars.The population movement between cities is mainly by trains and long-distance buses, and the population movement within cities is by passenger cars and rickshaws, so China has a great demand for passenger cars.Several urban agglomerations in China, such as the Guangzhou area, Wuhan area, Chengdu-Chongqing area, Beijing-Tianjin area, Shenyang Industrial Zone, and Harbin area, purchase a large number of passenger cars every year.

And trucks.With the construction of China's highways and the activeness of China's economy, the domestic transportation volume is increasing rapidly.Although the railway has developed greatly in recent years, compared with the vast land, the railway coverage is limited after all.Passenger transport has become the most effective supplement to rail freight.In addition to civilian passenger transport, government agencies and the military purchase a large number of trucks every year.

This is the advantage of a big country.

China's urban population alone has more than 1 million people, which is already larger than the population of most countries.And the main consumption force in this era is the urban population.Therefore, even if China is a little poorer, with such a large urban population, the market is very large.After Fan Xudong answered, he looked at the reporters below.
