Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

In 1948, China Resources' profit exceeded US$1400 million. In 1949, Tang Hua set the goal for China Resources to achieve an annual profit of US$2000 million. On June 6, China Resources sent a telegram stating that the profit in the first half of the year exceeded 30 million US dollars, and the total profit for the year should be able to meet the target.

Now China Resources has sufficient cash flow. Even to support the War of Liberation, it cost millions of dollars to buy a landing ship, and there are still tens of millions of funds on the books. Some are used for turnover, some are used for reserves, and some for pre-investment.

However, it's time to spend money.

"Qin Bangli, Zhang Ping, Zhao Kai: Please take out as much money as possible from China Resources' reserve funds and cash flow. It must be more than 1000 million US dollars. It is better if it can be more than 1000 million. The Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has become more and more acute. The blockade of technology and cutting-edge industrial equipment by Western countries against the Soviet Union and our side is already counting down. To save time, please get the funds in place quickly to purchase foreign industrial equipment and ship them to Shanghai and Dalian respectively. All industrial equipment must be completed in 1949 Complete the order before December 12, and have the product in your hands."

"The following is a list of industrial equipment that must be purchased, in order of priority from front to back:"

"200. Magnetron production and manufacturing facilities, and purchase of more than [-] sets of finished magnetron oscillators;"

"Second, the finished phase shifter and key equipment for manufacturing..."

There is not much time left, Tang Hua must rush to buy some industrial products and industrial equipment on the sensitive list before the establishment of Batumi, and transport them back to China.

Batumi, officially known as the "Export Control Coordinating Committee", because the agreement was signed in Paris, so it is also known as the Paris Coordinating Committee.

After the beginning of the Cold War, the United States gradually realized that its strategic advantage over the Soviet Union was largely derived from its technological superiority. In November 1949, under the proposal of the United States, the United States, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom met and decided to establish an international supervisory committee to prevent Western companies and countries from selling the "strategy" to the Warsaw Pact Group and other red countries. level" products and services.In the end, the number of participating countries in this committee increased to 11, basically NATO countries and Western developed countries outside NATO. In January 17, Batumi began to operate officially. Although the initial embargo restrictions on China were not particularly strict (a special China committee was established in 1950), it would already cause inconvenience and risks. posed a threat to overseas business activities.

Then, Tang Hua sent a suggestion to the central government by the way, about the operation and technical direction of Dalian Jianxin Company.Dalian Jianxin Company is a company proposed by Tang Hua in 1946 to be established in the Dalian Soviet-controlled area. It mainly produces weapons and ammunition. In the past three years, it has been the only factory in our army or in China that can produce trigger-fuze shells.By 1948, after the electric furnace was in place and the special steel was produced, Jianxin Company had begun to try out light howitzers.

After writing this long telegram, Tang Hua handed over the telegram to Secretary Gong and asked him to send it back to China in the shortest possible time.

Nothing will happen next. In Kiev, although he left early, there was no problem after the first test run of MESM. At present, it has been started for more than a dozen official calculations, and everything is normal, except for one explosion every few minutes. vacuum tube.

Deng Fa was going to visit the Soviet Union, and he was already on his way, arriving around July 7.Deng Fa came to change shifts, and Wang Ruofei returned. Around July 20, Tang Hua and Wang Ruofei will return to China.

So during these 10 days, I just wandered around Moscow.

Go to the opera.Watch a dance performance.Listen to the symphony.See a movie.And... shopping at street stalls.

There were really stalls on the streets of Moscow in 1949, and they were contiguous. At least in July 1949, no one cared about this kind of capitalist tail.When Tang Hua first arrived in the Soviet Union in 7, the streets were quite desolate. After all, the trauma of the war had not yet passed. Now several major cities in the Soviet Union were bustling with traffic and prosperous, and street stalls appeared in Moscow.Most of the stalls are aunts from various families, and the things they sell are also dazzling.The postwar Soviet Union once encouraged childbearing, allowing and even encouraging women to leave their jobs, become housewives, and have more children.If the children in this family are easier to raise, it is normal for housewives to come out to be small vendors.

From an ice cream vendor, Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan bought an ice cream, and walked down the street while eating.When they walked in front of a "stall" that pushed pianos out for street performances, Tang Hua had an extra bag of raisins in his hand, and Zhou Xuan had an extra beautiful rose in his hand.

"Tang Hua! Zhou Xuan!" Secretary Gong started to shout from a long distance away, and separated from the crowd to run to Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan. "Hey, I visited all the places you frequented, from the beginning to the end of this street, and only then did I discover you two."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Tang Hua asked.

"A telegram, urgent." Secretary Gong stuffed a sealed telegram into Tang Hua's hands, "You read it first, and if you rush back after reading it, the delegation's car is over there."

Tang Hua was full of suspicion and opened the telegram.

"What? Want me to return home early? Are you going to attend... the preparatory meeting?!"

"What? I became a representative of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?!"

"What? I became the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee?!"

Chapter 12, Oops, Dangerous!

From morning till night, trains ply across the deep green sea.The next day, the morning sun shone into the box, and outside the window was the endless birch forest.Running on the Trans-Siberian Railway, the only thing Tang Hua can feel this month is loneliness and broadness.

"You came from China, now is the time to return to China. Let's go! Young man." Before returning to China, Tang Hua and Vavilov drank the last meal of wine. "After a while, many of us will also go to China."

From 1950 to the end of the 50s, a total of 2 academicians and 6 corresponding academicians from the Soviet Union came to China, accompanied by a large number of technical experts.During this period, from the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the construction of universities, the establishment of scientific research units, to the direct guidance of the construction and operation of industrial projects, all the work related to science and technology and industrialization had the presence of Soviet experts.

The train is not only slow (40 kilometers per hour, which was a normal speed in 1949, but compared with Tang Hua's original era, it can only be regarded as a tortoise speed), and when it arrives at the transportation hub, it will stop for six or seven hours at a time.Fortunately, since the train has slowed down so much, it doesn’t matter if it stops for another six or seven hours. Just get off the train and take a walk. Not only can you visit the town at the station, but you can even go to a place one or two kilometers away from the train.

Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan walked out of the nearby pine forest with a small basket of mushrooms.He also booked out the only restaurant in the railway town, and asked the cook to make two cans of Russian mushroom soup with the mushrooms he picked.

"Zhou Xuan," Tang Hua said, "remember what we said in the small attic?"

"Um"

"After the founding of New China, public ownership of the means of production will be implemented, such as land, mines, factories, and companies, which must be nationalized, because these means of production are necessities for the survival of laborers. It is not a particularly large private property, and it will not be forced to be owned by the state. So...in the future, my own factories and companies will be handed over, but your own savings will not be affected.”

"Understood, so you want me to support you in the future?"

"Uh, this..." Tang Hua scratched his head, "Actually, I may not need money much in the future. What I want to say is that you may still have a lot of money in the future, not only in deposits, but also in income compared to ordinary people. The property is dozens or hundreds of times more, but at that time you must keep roughly the same as ordinary people in terms of daily expenses, and not exceed too much. At least it looks like this to outsiders.”

Zhou Xuan nodded.

……

August 8.Peking.

"Uncle Li! Uncle Cai!"

After a long journey, the train arrives at the end.There was actually a crowd welcoming Tang Hua at the station.Of course, it was not as grand as welcoming the mother of the country, Mr. Song, two days ago, but Tang Hua saw Li Jichen and Cai Tingkai, two veterans of the Kuomintang Revolution, as soon as he got out of the car.Lao Cai went to the Northeast in 48, and came to Beiping from Harbin after the liberation of Beiping. Lao Li went north in June this year and participated in the preparation of the first CPPCC together.

"Tang Hua," Lao Cai held Tang Hua's hand first, "I haven't seen you for three years, nephew, you are famous all over the world. Oh, Miss Zhou, hello, hello."

"Little Tang... now is Academician Tang," Lao Li said, "it is a great blessing for the Kuomintang to have such young talents... You two have been working hard all the way, so let's stay here to clean up the dust first. Secretary Zhou, send Academician Tang went to the Liuguo Hotel and prepared the car."

"Uncle Li, um...why didn't you see Secretary Sima?" Tang Hua remembered that Sima Mianqun was the secretary who followed Lao Li before.

Lao Li was silent for a while. "In February this year, Mian Qun launched the Bobai Uprising and failed..."

In May 48, after the Kuomintang responded to the May 5st slogan, it felt that it could not just shout 666 behind the Communist Party, so it launched several small uprisings in the south, usually because the regiment and battalion officers who instigated the rebellion against the national army were abnormal.As a result, Chiang Kai-shek turned around and punched one monster, ah no, one punched a little friend, and suppressed the uprising of the Kuomintang.For a while, Zhazidong and the prisons of the Kuomintang provinces added many inmates of the Kuomintang.Since Sima Mianqun's uprising failed, there has been no news. He is probably locked in some prison.Later, under the suggestion of our party, the Kuomintang changed to lobbying and mobilizing the national army units fighting on the front line to revolt on the battlefield, and the PLA responded on the battlefield, and it really succeeded a few times.

……

Six Nations Hotel.

After washing and changing clothes in the restaurant, the waiter knocked on the door and said that the visitor was coming soon.Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan walked to the small meeting hall, and soon four visitors appeared.Three old acquaintances, Lao Li, Lao Cai, and Dong Lao; there is also a person who Tang Hua has never met but definitely remembers deeply.

"Vice Chairman Zhou!"

Tang Hua took the first two steps and held Vice Chairman Zhou's hand, "Hello!"

"Hello Tang Hua. We have been in business together for three years, and we just met today for the first time. It's not easy." After Vice Chairman Zhou finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Business matters are free some other day. Let's talk again."

"Mr. Dong, I haven't seen you for three years. Your body has become stronger." Tang Hua said.Elder Dong laughed and came over to shake hands.

"Uncle Cai, Uncle Li."

……

"Tang Hua, now there are two groups that want to elect you as a representative. Mr. Li and Mr. Cai elected you as the representative of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; I also elected you as their representative." Vice-Chairman Zhou said, "After we discussed it, we decided that you had better attend the meeting as a representative of the Kuomintang, because firstly, you are indeed a member of the Kuomintang, and secondly, you are on the side of the Kuomintang. You know and know more people.”

No, no, I know people on both sides, Li Siguang, Hou Debang, Mao Yisheng... I know everyone.

I thought so in my heart, but Tang Hua replied: "Well, I will participate in the meeting as a member of the Kuomintang."

Hearing what Tang Hua said, Lao Li and Lao Cai were very happy.Since the establishment of the Kuomintang, the loss of senior members has been very serious. The uprisings have lost a large number of key members. Another member of the Kuomintang, Lao Feng, returned to China to attend the CPPCC preparatory meeting when the cruise ship caught fire and died.It is of course a good thing to have one more Tang Hua as a representative of the CPPCC. What's more, Tang Hua is not only a member of the "ancestral" Kuomintang of the township party type, but also has a good relationship with the chairman, commander-in-chief and other high-level ZG. The gold medal candidate of the CPPCC.
