Chapter 274 Japanese merchants
Chapter 274 Japanese merchants
In terms of attitude towards foreign investment, Hualian has always maintained a cautious and cold attitude, neither flattering nor rejecting. In addition to having certain trade deals with Britain and France, they have clearly shown strong vigilance and defense against other great powers.
Especially for Japanese merchants, many first-level commercial areas are not allowed to enter. Among these people, there is no idea how many of them are spies with foreign business names, and the ancient Chinese scriptures are too lazy to identify them one by one.
Hualian must try his best to stop everything that is good for the Japanese. This is the basic criterion and the unspoken rule of the entire Hualian industry and business community. Many businessmen who have begun to slowly integrate into the Hualian business community know this.
Japan's Ministry of Tripitaka did notice such hostility, so it sent a small-scale envoy to attend the tea party. Observation and testing were one of their main tasks.
Of course, it still claims to be a visit by a private merchant. After all, the current political status of Hualian has not been recognized by the world. Even the close-know Britain and France only acknowledge it, rather than publicly recognize Hualian as China's legal government agency.
In the long run, this is very unfavorable, but in terms of actual needs, it may not be a good thing for Hualian. Without the fame and power granted by righteousness, it also means that you do not have to make corresponding sacrifices. At least when facing invasions and diplomatic disputes between the great powers, you do not have to bear responsibility.
This is very important. Growing up in war is of course a good thing, but it is also likely that you will be consumed a lot of strength and then make wedding dresses for others.
The tragedy of the history of God Xin was such a tragedy. He was young and brave, and initiated the use of troops against the Dongyi, repelled the expansion of the Dongyi into the Central Plains, and expanded the Shang Dynasty's power to the Jianghuai area. However, he was rebelled by the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he was taken advantage of the situation and staged a scene of snake swallowing elephant.
The organizational form of the tea party is very relaxed and there is no strict regulation on etiquette. However, the dress is a secret definition. Chen Ze's gorgeous clothes are similar to the mysterious dome on Liu Haoran.
He also smiled brightly on his face, sat upright on the main seat, and launched the main topic of this tea party: "Thank you all for taking the time to participate in this tea party in your busy schedule. I would like to thank you here in advance."
He is gentle, gentle and polite. Chen Ze's every move attracts everyone's attention. He is the focus of the crowd. Tianyu Group is the most powerful economic organization in the entire Hualian. In addition, Chen Ze's own political influence can be said to be no one can surpass him.
Such a handsome man who has attracted much attention from the world naturally knows it and everyone knows it.
"After detailed discussion, I reached an agreement with the military that the management rights of the Iron and Steel Industry Company, a subsidiary of Liuzhou Heavy Industry Group, will be handed over to Xinghua News Agency, and will take effect immediately from now on." After saying that, he looked at Liu Haoran, who was sitting in the second seat with joy with confusing expressions.
Compared with the simple friendship relationships before, the two are now much more complicated, which involves cumbersome interests and political differences. The election dispute between the DPP and the DPP is no longer a secret in the Parliament of the China League of China.
However, in private, the two are still close friends who have worked together in the past, and this will not change at all.
Amid the warm applause, carrying everyone's praise and jealousy, Liu Haoran stood up with a free expression and decent manners. Even with a high spirit, it did not make people feel that it was arrogant, but a kind of true feelings from the heart.
The speech was memorized for a long time. Just a week ago, the delicious cake in Liuzhou Heavy Industry Zone was divided up by 80% internally. The remaining pieces are bait used to attract small and medium-sized capital groups in tea parties.
Even if it has a 20% share, it is actually quite a lot. These people are not core members of the Ancient Literature Society. Of course, Zhong Yang cannot provide help at a low price. Purchasing technology, cultivating workers, producing equipment, and studying technology all require massive funds. There is no certain capital, and there is not even the qualification to participate.
The atmosphere at the meeting was still warm. When everyone heard some details of the plan, they were thinking about the profits. Building a comprehensive large industrial area with such an amazing scale, even if they just drink a sip of soup in it, it would be very profitable.
"Mr. Chen, I wonder if this development plan allows foreign investors to invest?" In a fluent Cantonese language, an uninvited Japanese "customer" asked loudly, wearing a straight suit, with a kind appearance, not annoying.
"In principle, this is a large-scale comprehensive investment plan of Hualian Ministry of Industry. I am only one of the participants and cannot answer your question on behalf of government functional departments. However, I believe this is a paradise for a free economy. In principle, we do not object to any foreign businessmen coming to invest."
He replied with a soft and hard sentence. Chen Ze's expression was as usual. He didn't have to pay attention to the Japanese's plans. The construction of Liuzhou Heavy Industrial Zone is a crucial strategic plan for the entire Hualian. It is impossible for the great powers to take control and dominate. Even if they want to participate, it is probably difficult.
Seeing that Japanese merchants wanted to say something, Li Quanwang, who is now promoted to Deputy Director of the Commerce Department, stood up and asked: "Hello, this distinguished merchant, if you want to participate in any investment in industrial and commercial fields under the rule of Hualian, you must first go to the Commerce Department to report. There, we will provide you with professional consulting and do your best to solve your problems."
This is neither humble nor arrogant, but he is also humble and polite. Although it seems to be a sign of weakness, the firmness and coldness in it are enough to make the Japanese merchant who asked the question understand the choice. It is meaningless to make trouble, and he does not continue to ask questions, but stops when he sees it is better.
Other foreign businessmen are mostly here to wait and see and be familiar with each other, so naturally they won’t cause trouble in such occasions.
A shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is good to be intrigue, but when it comes to essence, it is still a choice of strength, connections, and interests. Lies, deception and exploitation alone cannot be managed in the long run. Only institutionalized management, balanced distribution of interests, and correct path choices are the major strategic plans of any organization.
The current Hualian has little fame and appeal in the minds of middle and lower-class people in other regions due to political propaganda factors. However, it is different in the minds of businessmen. These economic professionals with sensitive information are best at communication and communication, and obtaining information that others cannot get.
More importantly, compared with poor people who have no spare time, businessmen are naturally mobile and vote with their feet.
The prosperous and prosperous economic situation will inevitably attract a large number of businessmen to invest. For them, the relaxed and free Hualian is a good place to settle down and buy property. Compared to being exploited by warlords and bandits in various places, the Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong area has at least fertile soil suitable for the growth of national capital.
After the main topic ended, the episodes of Japanese merchants did not have any bad effects on the tea party. Some enthusiastic businessmen have begun to contact Liu Haoran and discuss investment matters in the steel field.
They gathered together in groups of three or three, chatting and laughing with familiar people in the social circle where they belong, but it was also interesting. Occasionally, young waiters passed by and saw someone ordering tea and pastries.
On the other hand, the Japanese merchants who left early did not attract the attention of others, but no one wanted to pay attention to them now, and they were busy discussing how much share they could account for in the future heavy industry.
"Ikeda, why don't you stay and watch?" A Japanese man who was with the team frowned and looked a little ugly, it must be for the matter at the tea party just now.
"Takahashi, why are you going to stay here and ask? Isn't the other party's attitude already very obvious?" This person is the young Japanese merchant who asked at the tea party just now. His identity is actually the head of the Japanese secret service agency in central China, Hiroyo Ikeda.
Standing beside him were officials sent from Japan's Tripitaka Province. This time, as a merchant, he came to Hualian to get some information. From his rise to his current dominance in the southeast and his eyes on the Central Plains, Hualian has shocked the world too much.
Moreover, unlike other regime forces, this place is not an agent supported by any great powers. Although there is a shadow of the British behind it, Japan can see its past appearance from here. It is vigorous and motivated, revitalized industry and developed education. Even though it is still very weak, it has full potential and has great development potential.
"Ikeda, you have to understand that our mission this time cannot be missed. With your current negligence attitude, this is absolutely inappropriate." He called his surname directly and accused Hiroyao Ikeda, who was from the military department in a stern tone. Kazuya Takahashi was very rude. Because they were of different factions, their relationship had always been bad.
"That is your task, not mine. I am only interested in whether Hualian is related to the rebellion in Kaohsiung. As for carrying out commercial activities, it is your responsibility."
Hiroya Ikeda sneered disdainfully. He was originally a calm and calm person, not as arrogant and domineering as Kazuka Takahashi. Or he had seen too many flatteries in other parts of China and did not know how to examine current affairs at all.
As a professionally trained spy, he was shocked by what he saw and felt in Guangzhou. This place is different from anywhere else in China. In terms of capital, Guangzhou is not as good as Shanghai at this time, but the industrial and commercial development here is almost another Japan.
Hiroya Ikeda was concerned about the industrial production capacity of some Hualian. Looking at the various cars coming and going on the spacious road, he felt as if he was hit by a giant hammer and felt stuffy and depressed.
There is usually a conversion method in the arms industry. Usually, every 350 automobile production capacity can be converted into the production capacity of a combat aircraft, and every 45 automobile production capacity can be converted into the production capacity of an armored vehicle.
The production capacity of warships can also be referred to as their commercial ship production capacity. In other words, Hualian now has the potential to start a war.
Even though there is no possibility of challenging Japan's hegemony in East Asia, what will happen in five years? What will happen in ten years? A strong China that completes industrialization construction will be an existence that Japan will never reach. Reform and reforms over half a century may become meaningless.
This is something Hiroyao Ikeda absolutely cannot accept and has nothing to do with his temperament. As a Japanese soldier, his patriotic way is to put China in poverty, numbness and division.
Comprehensive data obtained from various investigations show that Ikeda has an objective understanding of Hualian's industrial capabilities. Among them, Tianyu Group, Xinghua News Agency and Qingzhu Chemical are the most powerful, covering the entire Hualian's political, economic and technological fields.
You can produce any necessary products for industrial development by yourself, such as automobiles, fuel, automobile manufacturing machines, and various lathes. Because the time is still short, there are many imperfections, but the most complete industrial production system has been established.
This is hard to see elsewhere in China. Even the Westernization Movement in the past did not achieve the achievements made by Chen Ze and others today. Hualian has achieved amazing achievements in warships, tanks, aircraft, guns, ammunition, any key product field related to national national strategy.
Especially in recent years, Xinghua News Agency has made every effort to produce warships, and with the orders delivered from the UK, Hualian has actually owned a combat-effective naval fleet. As an offensive force, this is naturally not good, but it is still very good for defense.
The West Sea Fleet led by Taniguchi Nakama soon quelled the rebellion that occurred in Kaohsiung, confiscated the weapons from the rebels, and shifted the military's attention to Hualian.
Although all German-style equipment is significantly different from the British weapons exported by the Hualian to domestic warlords, some evidence shows that the Hualian and the German side also have a very ambiguous relationship. This naturally makes Japan suspicious. After all, there are only a few forces that can have the strength to export weapons to Kaohsiung.
Britain, the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union and the emerging Hualian. Britain and Japan are still in alliance, so they can be excluded first. As for Americans, it is impossible to do such things across the region half of the earth. On the contrary, Germany, which is using arms to exchange money and the Soviet Union, which has always had disputes with Japan, are most likely.
Hualian is also on the list because it can mass-produce arms on a large scale.
Because of this rebellion, the Political Association was questioned by the people in Japan, because Taiwan's colonial rule policy seemed too "moderate" in the minds of many people. In fact, the main reason is that Taiwan failed to pay for Japan's economic crisis.
In order to win the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese government sacrificed the interests of two generations of citizens. But now it is still in a difficult life, which naturally leads to complaints from the domestic people and begins to accumulate resentment towards the Japanese government agencies.
If there was no such resentment, how could a group of fanatical army radicals seize power in a rough way of "being inferior to superiors"?
History always finds reasons and excuses for the people. In fact, as long as people live, they are choosing. The will of the country is gathered together under the deception and incitement of ambitious people, but don’t forget that this is the acquiescence or helplessness of the people, or even indulgence.
Going with the flow, following the crowd, short-sighted, fanatical and ignorant, this is the people. A good system will guide them and regulate the lunar morality and people's will of the whole society. However, if it is a distorted ruling concept, it will cause social disorder, cause the country to fall into chaos, and the people will become indifferent and crazy.
Become a group of wild beasts, ignore other people's pain, rob and kill at will.
Just like the Soviet Union, Japan, and the Hongmen and the ** Party in China after the completion of the redification, they wantonly deprived others of their rights and interests in the name of righteousness under the banner of revival and salvation.
The Cangqiong Hall is an attached garden area behind the hotel. In the spacious outdoor environment, there are small garden scenery formed by rockery, fountains, and low indoor plants. Listening to the gurgling spring water flowing and melodious and elegant music, it is indeed a perfect enjoyment.
While walking, Zhong Yang was wearing a light summer clothes and walking on the deep bluestone path, his expression calmly.
"President, Zhou Feihuo is looking for a meeting." Zu Jie said with a bow, still wearing the dark black suit, looking tall and cold.
"Let him in."
"yes."
After a while, Zhou Feihuo, who was exhausted, entered it and was summoned by Zhong Yang. He just took a submarine back to Nansha yesterday. This morning, he dressed neatly and came to Cangqiong Hall to report the situation to Zhong Yang.
"President." As soon as we met, Zhou Feihuo first gave a greeting. Zhong Yang was not the emperor, and there was no need to kneel down and bow down. He just bowed and clasped his fists to show his respect to the superiors.
"I have read all the information I sent back, but I still want to hear your opinions." Zhou Feihuo participated in the entire plan throughout the whole process. His opinions were the most intuitive and appropriate. Zhong Yang's question was actually taking the exam for the other party's talent.
"President, the foundation of the autonomous front is too poor and it is difficult to accomplish anything, but it is still feasible to deal with the Japanese army for three years." After this training, Zhou Feihuo's aura became deeper and more sophisticated. Although he still had a passionate and arrogant attitude, he no longer had the frivolous spirit of the past.
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Without a stable base and a solid economic foundation, the autonomous front will always be bandits and it is difficult to become a climate. However, with our support, it is not difficult to start a tug-of-war with the Japanese army. Taitung is full of mountains and forests, and large-scale corps cannot be implemented. Moreover, with Japan's current national strength, it is not realistic to use a large army to clear it out."
"So do you have any specific strategies?"
"President, let me say something."
"Tell me, look."
"The model of funding the autonomous front can be maintained at the level of arms sales and drug support. At most, it is unnecessary to help them build simple handicraft workshops and help them cultivate industry."
Zhou Feihuo put forward his own opinions on the plan that Zhong Yang originally planned to implement. What he saw with Feng Zhixi made him deeply understand that Taiwan has no corresponding room for industrial and commercial development. What's more, this cultivation model can easily cause the raising of tigers.
"Why?" Zhong Yang was not angry, but looked faint, intending to listen to the other party's opinions first.
"First, the war situation is turbulent, and there is no basis for industry and commerce to survive; but once this plan is implemented, the Japanese military will definitely find clues and find us, which means war; third, maintaining a disadvantage, the autonomous front must be dependent on us and not have a second heart."
"Okay, if you can have such insights, you are indeed very talented. Since that's the case, if you write a plan and hand it over to the underground palace, I will supervise it." Zhong Yang saw Zhou Feihuo's growth and was even more stingy in his praise.
The chess piece that provoked Japan had been buried, and was waiting for the other party to completely complete the redification and turn into an irrational beast. In China, after more than a year of restoring energy and the ** Army ended the battle for northern hegemony with the Fengtian army, China was temporarily trapped in a strange peace.
I just don't know how long can this situation last...
