Chapter 0247 Restructuring ([-])

"Prime Minister, just look at this matter, it's like this, our proposition..."

Luo Yaoguo wore a stiff general uniform, bowed and followed Sun Yat-sen, walking step by step in the back garden of the Moshan mansion.Looking at the nose and nose, watching the heart, and not even looking at the unique rockery, rocks, flowers, plants and trees in the garden, he looks like a loyal minister and filial son.

Now Sun Yat-sen is obviously... a little fatter, and he looks like Sun Ke.The cheeks are also bulging, and the belly is protruding.Now with his hands behind his back and his head held high, he walked slowly ahead, looking like a great leader.

Now almost everyone in China can see that the Kuomintang's revolutionary revolution has already arrived at the wharf and the station.What about the Three People's Principles, except for nationalism, which is still the same thing, the others are simply changing the soup without changing the medicine.

What they have done is to establish a relatively strong government to control those lawless military leaders.For example, in the "disarmament" this time, the wronged teachers went to the gate of the Moshan mansion and cried for a while, but Sun Yat-sen didn't even let them in!It is estimated that Yuan Datou heard about this power from below, and even his eyes would have popped out. If he had such power and prestige back then, Emperor Hong Xian might have done it, right?

Sun Yat-sen listened to Luo Yaoguo's statement about the superiority of the capitalist system for a while, and frowned slightly.He is well aware of the benefits of the capitalist system, which has been tested by the practice of Western powers and Japanese imperialism.A relatively stable social environment, high tariffs protect the domestic market, export subsidies compete for the international market, and the government supports chaebols and key industries... When it grows bigger, go outside to grab colonies. With the resources and markets of the colonies, you can turn around. Improve the lives of the working people, lest they come to revolution.

But isn’t there the gunfire of the October Revolution now?It seems that there is a second way to go, right?It is said that this road is a universal truth, and the future will be a sea of ​​red flags... so where will the flag of blue sky and white sun hang?A trace of gloom flashed across Sun Yat-sen's face, he looked up at the blue sky and white sun flag fluttering in the spring breeze, and sighed softly: "Fuwen, do you know what communism advocates? Maybe they are the truth? Are you like this? In the future, when I die, I will almost be the target of other people's revolution, right?"

Hearing Sun Yat-sen's words, Luo Yaoguo was slightly taken aback, and then frowned.He doesn't know much about the Communist Party's propositions, and he doesn't know how to do it.But the memory of his previous life told him that it was indeed the truth, and it would never be wrong.In the era before his rebirth, international capitalism was already on the verge of collapse due to high social welfare, extravagance, and the bursting of the real estate bubble...Only mainland China, which insisted on the socialist system, was singing and dancing, with colorful flags fluttering everywhere. Property prices are rising steadily, and the government's finances are hitting new highs. This communism must be just around the corner.

But the question is...how should communism be implemented?Luo Yaoguo was an air force pilot in his previous life, and he had never studied economics, let alone such abstruse communist theory.And in this life, what kind of new economic policy is even the Soviet Union itself playing now, and the socialist construction of Father Si has not started yet?The Kuomintang has no one to refer to now.And those Marxist books only say that communism can only be started after inheriting all the material and spiritual civilizations of capitalism. .

Luo Yaoguo also sighed: "Prime Minister, we all know what you said, but there are examples to follow in the development path of the capitalist powers, as long as we copy it, the country will be able to protect itself for ten years of development. We may be able to become rich and powerful in ten years. The communist set of things has not been tested, and we don’t know how to do it. We only know that we need to run enterprises and restrict capitalism. The Ministry of Staff believes that this is not feasible. Now How can the big powers of various countries rely on this to make it big? Even Soviet Russia and the current Chinese Communist Party in the Soviet Area did not do this. They eliminated private ownership, fully implemented the public ownership system, and used state planning to lead the economy. However, Soviet Russia does not seem to be doing well. It didn’t work out, and now we’re going to engage in private ownership again. How can we do a good job of a system like this that even the Communist Party hasn’t figured out? Besides, we’re governing the country now, so we can’t use the country as an experiment, right? The Ministry believes that we should first follow the road taken by the capitalist powers, and we can change it when Soviet Russia finds the correct path to develop communism.”

Sun Yat-sen smiled faintly, and turned his head back: "Change it again?...by then the chaebol will have controlled the lifeline of the country, and I'm afraid you will be up to you if you change it or not? Maybe you, Luo Fuwen, will become a chaebol yourself at that time. But you said It’s quite reasonable, I have also studied Marx’s works, and I don’t understand them very well, they are like heavenly scriptures, and it may be difficult to govern the country according to them.”

Luo Yaoguo saw that Sun Yat-sen had the intention of compromising, so he quickly took over the conversation and said with a slight smile: "The Prime Minister is talking about this public enterprise, and managing it with Marxist ideas can greatly liberate the productivity. But we don't have it at all now. I know how to manage it, and I don't understand other people's doctrines. I still use the way of Manchu government-run enterprises and manage enterprises as government offices. It would be better to support chaebols and let businessmen and capitalists manage them. For example, now Among our public enterprises, the railway company controlled by the newly established Ministry of Communications has introduced a large number of commercial shares, established a joint-stock system, changed the enterprise into a commercial operation, and is managed by Mr. Tan Kah Kee himself, and the benefits are very good.”

Tan Kah Kee finally stopped working as an official, and changed back to his old business to become a capitalist.What is interlaced like a mountain?It is not good for a capitalist to become an official, and it is also not good for an official to do capitalist work, unless it is the Communist Party, which is another way of development.How did the Kuomintang learn to manage the entire economy by planning instructions?

Sun Yat-sen remained calm, just stood down and listened quietly.

"...Our Armament Department now has two steel plants, both of which have been partially put into operation. One is a Sino-German joint venture, the Hainan Iron and Steel Plant operated by Krupp. The other is the Shaoguan plant directly managed by our Armament Department .Now the Hainan factory exceeds the Shaoguan factory by more than [-]% in terms of economic efficiency and product quality. The production cost of the products of the Shaoguan factory is also much higher than that of the Hainan factory..."

Hearing the economic benefit and cost, Sun Yat-sen frowned again.Revolutionaries and businessmen are separated from each other like a mountain. It is rare for Luo Yaoguo to understand this kind of thing, so let's just listen to him.

Regarding the subtle expression changes on Sun Yat-sen's face, Luo Yaoguo pretended not to notice, and went on to say in a hurry: "Under the protection of our high tariffs, and the settled south has a lot of infrastructure that consumes steel, So now the steelmaking plant has become a lucrative business. The gross profit of the Hainan plant is 40%, and even the less efficient Shaoguan plant has 25%. Then the profitable trading of those Nanyang capitals and Jiangsu and Zhejiang capitals, even from the north to the south All the Beiyang capitals want to invest in steel plants. Why don't we form a joint-stock company with some of the shares in the Shaoguan plant and the Hainan plant, and let them invest, and the capital raised will be used to build the 100 million-ton project of the Daye plant. And we should also Hire professionals with experience in steel plant management to manage, even foreigners... Of course, except for Orientals."

"What?" Sun Yat-sen raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Yaoguo with strange eyes: "The capital from Beiyang has also come to us? Fuwen, the Military Intelligence Bureau didn't do anything..."

Didn't you hold a gun to someone's forehead and force them to invest?Speaking of Nanyang Capital, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Capital, even if it is Chinese capital from the United States who wants to invest in Sun Yat-sen, he believes that those are all his own people!But this Beiyang capital is all Beiyang warlords!How could it be possible for them to come to the territory of the Kuomintang?It must be that chubby Wu Ziliang playing tricks.

Luo Yaoguo hurriedly explained with a smile: "Nothing, it has nothing to do with the Military Intelligence Bureau. In fact, this capital is risk-averse. The north is not peaceful, there is a war between warlords, and the Communist Red Army. You may invest because of these unexpected events. So the capital in the north gradually concentrated in the Beijing and Tianjin regions, which more than doubled the housing prices there. Now we have to find a way out, and a lot of funds are flowing to our side, the railway A lot of stocks in the company and the power company were sold to them. The Ministry of Finance also wants to reorganize the steel company and the arms company into a joint-stock company to raise shares from various capitals, including Beiyang Capital. In this way, we can invest our limited funds in The losers are gone."

Capital averse to risk?Sun Yat-sen squinted his eyes and pondered for a while. Didn't Marx say that he would not be afraid of the risk of decapitation if he had three times the profit?Uh, I want to ask Tan Kah Kee and Deng Zeru, are they afraid of killing their heads with three times the profit?And... a loss-making deal?Hand over the profitable business to the capitalists and do the losing business yourself?There is nothing wrong with this Luo Yaoguo, right?

Luo Yaoguo wrung his fingers and began to introduce "losing business" to Sun Yat-sen: "Some industrial projects are related to our national security and must be invested, but there is no economic benefit. So we can't expect capitalists to do it. We are the only ones who come here. For example, building an airplane may not be profitable for ten years. We have to invest continuously, but we still have to invest, not only to invest but also to invest on a large scale. Not only to invest in aircraft manufacturing , we also need to invest in synthetic fuels, aluminum alloys, special steel and other raw materials, as well as engines, airborne weapons... Similarly, cars also require a lot of investment, and maybe tanks will also be invested in the future... It depends on our armaments department for a year It is impossible to invest in all projects with a budget of less than 2 million yuan. Therefore, the idea of ​​the staff department is to hand over projects that can make profits and attract commercial shares to commercial offices or government-business joint ventures. Part of the concentrated financial investment is currently unprofitable. It is also a company that requires a large amount of investment. Only in this way can we ensure that we will have the strength to fight against the great powers in ten years’ time.”

Sun Yat-sen interrupted abruptly: "What did you say? A war with the great powers? Ten years later..."

Chapter 0248 Restructuring ([-])

Sun Yat-sen sighed and was finally persuaded.Agree that the Ministry of Armaments has been to the single-plank bridge of capitalism.In fact, there is nothing he can do unless he is persuaded. Luo Yaoguo also knows that communism is a good doctrine and the truth, but... people don't know it?Sun Yat-sen himself knew only a little about it, so how can we carry out construction like this?This is probably the weakness and compromise of Chinese national capital, right?

In Wuhan, the weather in March is still cold.Zhang Naiqi, a national capitalist who has been an official for a year, also has a heart full of justice.Behind the desk of the Secretary-General of the Armament Department, a noble and glamorous big sister who is both beautiful and intelligent is looking at him coldly with a pair of bright eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

After a year of checking accounts in the Accounting Office of the Supervisory Yuan, dozens of major cases of embezzlement of public funds were uncovered, many important party and state officials lost their official titles, and some even went to jail... Now they are finally being retaliated Come on!Zhang Naiqi sighed in his heart, he really shouldn't touch the tiger's butt!There are so many corrupt officials in the Kuomintang, why did I go to investigate the Military Intelligence Bureau?Although their books are fake at first glance, although their annual funds of more than 2000 million yuan are all gone, although they secretly operate a large trading company behind the scenes and engage in many illegal activities, although... But in the end, they lost it by themselves The work of the beloved Comptroller's Office can no longer fight corruption.Moreover, she was transferred to the Armament Department controlled by the corrupt Luo Yaoguo, and had to face such a terrifyingly beautiful big sister.

Song Meiling was also carefully observing this upright young man, and she always felt that this man was full of a sour and pedantic air of a scholar, not at all like a businessman full of copper stink.Can he do a good job in the restructuring and reorganization of the steel plant?This Luo Yaoguo didn't know what was going on, but he actually got into the eyes of money, wholeheartedly trying to make the factories managed by the Ministry of Armaments maximize their economic benefits.Not only is the iron and steel factory going to be a government-business joint venture to raise business shares, but the second step is that even the military factory is also going to be a government-business joint venture. Isn't this too shocking?

Song Meiling smiled faintly, trying to make herself seem a little friendly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang Ziwei, right?" Zhang Naiqi's character is Ziwei, uh, not Ziyi.

"The staff department is Zhang Naiqi." Zhang Naiqi also responded lightly, still standing in front of Song Meiling with his hands down.In my heart, I was planning to resign. I am not an official, and I feel uncomfortable when I am an official!Thinking of working under Sister Song Yujie in the future, Zhang Naiqi made up his mind to be a businessman again, and no longer associate with you bureaucratic bourgeoisie.What has this country done to you!Hmph, anyway, business is doing well now, and I can realize the value of life without being an official.

Seeing the other party's stiff look, Song Meiling couldn't help but burst out laughing in her heart, is she that scary?What a kind and kind person!Why does everyone look trembling when they see themselves?Luo Yaoguo is like this, and this Zhang Naiqi is known in the Accounting and Accounting Office as being tough, how come he is like this when he sees him?

"Ziwei, sit down." Sister Song Yu raised her hand slightly, motioning for Zhang Naiqi to sit down, and then said in a slightly more amiable tone: "This time I have invited you from the Accounting Office to our Armaments Department. Yes. As you know, our Armament Department is full of officers and engineers, but they run factories and run enterprises. Basically, there is no one who knows how to run a business. You have studied business and worked in banking. You must have a business sense, right? So, we want you to be in charge of the restructuring of the iron and steel enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of Armaments."

Restructuring and reorganization?Zhang Naiqi was taken aback, hearing a new term today.Could it be that the Ministry of Armaments wants to turn the steel plant into a government-business joint venture, and the introduction of commercial shares will not work?But those two steel mills are doing well, right?It's a good public enterprise, but it's changed to a commercial one. Isn't it taking the road of capitalism?Thinking of this, Zhang Naiqi frowned slightly, and remained silent without saying a word.

Sister Song Yu frowned slightly, and sighed in her heart, mi... oh, I don't understand this restructuring and reorganization, but soldiers take obedience as their duty. I am also a soldier now, and I am a beautiful colonel, so I only Can execute the order.

"Comrade Ziwei." Soong Meiling stood up, left the desk, walked to Zhang Naiqi, and smiled kindly: "Now the government has limited financial resources, and there are many places to invest, so we can only do something or not. Like The iron and steel industry is very profitable now, and businessmen are also interested in investing in industries that plan to implement government-business cooperation. This time, you are in charge of restructuring and reorganization. It is because of your business talent that I hope you can do a good job in this job. Will be government-run The factory has been reorganized into a commercial enterprise, and then it is also responsible for raising commercial shares and the... employee stock ownership plan, which is to let ordinary employees also hold a little stock and let them share the results of the company's operations. Can you do these tasks well? "

Sure enough, it is going to turn the steel factory into a government-business joint venture.Zhang Naiqi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought, if such an important matter is entrusted to me, wouldn't it be greatly reused?Hmph, you really saw my ability!

A smile finally appeared on Zhang Naiqi's face: "Since General Fuwen and the Secretary-General entrusted Naiqi with such an important job, Naiqi should do his best to do a good job in the transformation of the steel mill."

Song Meiling let out a sigh of relief, this "Qingtian Stone" finally nodded, this is her first task!At last it wasn't messed up.She smiled and nodded, picked up a large stack of documents from her desk, and handed them all to Zhang Naiqi: "This is the financial report of Zhongde Iron and Steel Company and Shaoguan Iron and Steel Company. You should take it and study it carefully. Tomorrow Just report to the Metallurgical Bureau, Director Lu will arrange everything for you."

……

Inside the Beilu study at the foot of Moshan Mountain.

Luo Yaoguo also looked at Chen Guangfu with a smile.It was the most outstanding banker in the Republic of China era, who was already the general manager of China Commercial Bank, one of China's top ten banks in this time and space.This time he was invited from Shanghai to Wuhan by the backstage boss Luo Yaoguo, and lived in Beilu.

Before the big banker could catch his breath, Luo Yaoguo invited him into the study, and a table full of financial statements was piled up in front of him.Uh, these are top-secret internal materials. These are the financial statements of Zhongde Iron and Steel Company, Shaoguan Iron and Steel Company, and Ishii Arsenal.Afterwards, Luo Yaoguo went out to work, and ordered Chen Guangfu to stay alone in the study, and asked him to study these reports carefully to see... if he could do some insider trading or something.

As a result, Chen Guangfu's buttocks did not leave the chair for a whole day, even the servants brought lunch into the study.After reading the report for the day, the two eyebrows were slightly frowned at the beginning, then gradually stretched, and finally became beaming.

Now, when Luo Yaoguo returned home, he saw a big banker beaming with joy.Chen Guangfu originally thought that these government-run heavy industrial enterprises would be very successful if they didn't lose money.From the Qing Dynasty to the present, is there such a heavy industrial enterprise that does not lose money?I actually met him today, not only did I not lose money, but also made a lot of money!Not only is the relatively easy-to-operate arsenal making a lot of money, but even the extremely difficult steel factory is actually making a very good profit, especially the Sino-German steel factory, which has a gross profit of [-]%!Where is this steel factory?It's a gold mine!It seems that this stable social environment coupled with high tariff protection is really a magic weapon for the development of the capitalist economy!Is it... China Commercial Bank is also going to set up a steel factory?

In the era of the Republic of China, banks were able to directly invest in industrial and commercial enterprises!Not afraid of bad debts or anything.And it seems to be an international practice, no wonder it caused the big crisis on Wall Street.

Luo Yaoguo approached Chen Guangfu and smiled slightly: "How about it, brother Guangfu, what price can you estimate?"

Valuation?Chen Guangfu was startled when he heard the words, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Luo Yaoguo with piercing eyes and asked back: "What do you mean? Is this to raise business shares? There... there is an arsenal here! You won't even The arsenal must be jointly run by the government and the businessman, right?"

Chapter 0249 restructuring (three)

"Darling, is this arsenal... making money?"

Soong Meiling's beautiful eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, she was wearing a nightgown, leaning on the sofa in the bedroom, clutching a small booklet tightly in her hand.There was still a cup of steaming milk on the tea table, and the fragrant milk smell filled the whole bedroom.

There was silence in the bedroom, and Lao Jiang was already lying on the spacious mahogany bed, with his head hanging down, in a drowsy state.Suddenly I heard my wife ask if the arsenal makes money?His drowsy head didn't react for a while, and he reluctantly replied after a while: "It should be... to make money, right? This matter has always been in the hands of the Luo family. How do I know so much? Anyway, as long as I can give my army a steady stream Just keep sending guns and ammunition.”

Should make money?Uh, can this answer be used as a basis for investment?Soong Meiling opened her eyes and looked at the little notebook in her hand.It was her passbook for saving private money, and it looked like hundreds of thousands of private money, most of which were gift money from the "century wedding"!

"Well! Darling, why are you asking this question?" Lao Jiang finally realized, his eyes suddenly shot at his wife, and asked: "Could it be that Luo Fuwen wants to change the arsenal into a government-business joint venture? Are you messing around?"

"Is it reckless?" Soong Meiling glanced at Lao Jiang and said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that you just need to send guns and ammunition to your army continuously? By the way, how much does your army spend a year?" guns and ammunition?"

Lao Jiang frowned, and after thinking hard for a while, he finally remembered: "This year's arms procurement budget is 3000 million yuan, and next year's 105mm heavy artillery will definitely exceed [-] million yuan. More. Speaking of which, the purchase of arms is really expensive!"

Song Meiling nodded, and murmured: "2000 to [-] million to [-] million, this seems like a huge deal! I'll go to the report tomorrow and study it carefully. You still need to be cautious when investing, because it's all the family's possessions."

……

Of course, the arsenal makes money. There is no more profitable business in the world than selling arms, not even drug trafficking.The current Ishii Arsenal is the cash cow of the Armament Department, and its annual profit is still growing at a high speed. It is a high-quality asset with both stability and high growth!Why does such a good asset need to raise commercial shares?

Chen Guangfu just shook his head: "I don't understand, I really don't understand..."
