.Chapter 299 Looking at the Future

The first meeting of the International Economic and Economic Union was finally completed. This is actually a joint task release plan for the development of heavy industry. It allocates its respective fields and then concentrates materials and manpower to carry out technical research. The entire plan will use all the current resources and time of Hualian.

This was a very difficult decision, but Zhong Yang still forced everyone to complete the plan. This kind of coercion was also helpless, making the businessman give up profits and pursue an unattainable dream. This was a fairy tale-like difficulty.

The emergence of the Industrial and Economic Union and the major adjustments to the government's economic development plan have led many businessmen to transfer funds and industries. Compared with the increasingly unfree Hualian, the ** government that is working hard to revitalize the light industry development is a very good choice.

After leaving the hotel, Zhong Yang took his own special car to return to the villa located in the southern suburbs of Guangzhou, where there was a small meeting to be held.

The newly built road woven a large net in Guangzhou city, which is the foundation of economic prosperity. But how long can all this last? Sitting in the back of the carriage, Zhong Yang also sighed quietly. The times are difficult, so where can we achieve the best of both worlds?

Over the years, Zhong Yang has been committed to technological development, and only then has realized the difficulties of the industrialization road. Indeed, with a smart factory, you can counterfeit other people's products and have an incomparable advantage in price.

But in fact, this is only an advantage that can be reflected in midstream and downstream products, especially in daily civil industrial products. The development of industrialization is not a smooth sailing as a matter of course, nor is it a way to climb to the top just by browsing products to make profits.

Industry involves various fields of knowledge, which requires scientific researchers to work hard to develop and accumulate experience. Smart factories can copy a product production line intact or imitate any mechanical processing equipment that Zhong Yang has seen. However, this advantage is not as unmatched as imagined.

The biggest thing that touched Zhong Yang was the assembly of a set of German metal processing equipment. When Chen Ze visited the UK, he bought a set of equipment needed to process automobile engines from there, which is the production tool confiscated after World War I in Germany.

Although it is a used product, its performance has not been greatly affected and can still be used. After purchasing it at the market price, Chen Ze also arranged for technicians to assemble it, hoping to make this production line come in handy.

But the result made Tianyu Group very embarrassed, that is, the machining accuracy of the lathe has been reduced by one level. This standard was tested at the UK at that time. After inquiry and analysis, I realized that it was a problem with machine tool assembly.

In fact, the error of parts installation is not large, but after so many parts are assembled, the error is amazing. In foreign countries, there are specialized machine tool installation personnel, which has only been accumulated in recent years. However, the technical workers in China lack this experience.

Finally, this problem was solved by seeking the help of German technicians. They also taught some of the skills to Chinese workers. In fact, it was very simple. When installing parts, they consciously deflected the error in the same direction, which reduced the difficulty of adjusting the error.

Although the problem has been solved, it reflects a very profound phenomenon, that is, Hualian's industrial reform process is actually just standing still.

Whether it is Tianyu Group or Xinghua News Agency, their business plans are always tilting towards profits. Technology research and development is mostly in areas with commercial benefits. Many technological developments in heavy industries rely heavily on Zhong Yang's support.

Even with a smart factory and a group of professional research teams, how could Zhong Yang lead the vast field of science and technology alone? What's more, Chen Ze and Liu Haoran did not follow closely.

Even Yi Zhongming is more concerned about the fields of commercial and civil chemistry, and the products he has developed are mostly in these two directions. He rarely pays attention to long-term technology investment projects.

If this machine tool assembly incident hadn't exposed the essence of this problem, Zhong Yang would have been intoxicated by the dream of industrial prosperity. After a long period of thinking, he finally made this painful decision. The development path of Western powers could be successful in China, but it was a dead end.

The great powers are already a major industrial product country, and the global market is becoming increasingly saturated, and China is also a major country. Even a political force like Hualian, which spans five provinces, has begun to affect the operation of the entire capital market.

Simply put, industrial production requires material circulation. This leads to a result. With Hualian's current industrial scale, whatever you buy is expensive, what you sell is cheap. In the long run, there will be no profit at all.

What is most worrying is that this phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious. World Wars are essentially international conflicts caused by economic crisis. At this time, a large amount of dumping of products to other countries will only lead to the accumulation of resentment, followed by hostility, and ultimately the outbreak of war.

While thinking about these problems, the car also reached its destination, and the electronic program control door slowly opened. It was still raining outside the car window, and violent thunder rolled down in the sky, and huge water droplets fell on the ground, splashing water.

There were servants in the mansion who hurried out from the room and held an umbrella. Zhong Yang's face was gentle and he had a faint smile, but there was still a cold light in his eyes, which was breathtaking.

When he entered the house, he first changed into casual clothes and then walked towards the study. At this time, Zhang Yinyin, wearing a lady's clothing, came forward and opened her red lips: "Yang, Mr. Wang is here, and she is waiting for you in the study."

Asking about the fragrance on his wife, Zhong Yang was also much happier: "Well, I'll go now. I'll have dinner at home tonight, you can arrange it." He opened his arms and hugged Zhang Yinyin, said the warm words between the couple, and then continued walking towards the study.

When Zhang Yinyin learned that her husband was having meals at home tonight, she was also happy and hurriedly asked the kitchen to arrange it. She could cook herself, of course she would cook herself.

When I entered the study, I saw a burly man with a big face, thick waist and thick limbs. At first glance, I thought he was a heroic officer, but in fact, he was a gentleman with a university degree. This man was Wang Shicong, who had always been a low-key person, but he was undoubtedly the core veteran of the Ancient Literature Society.

The two were already familiar with each other and were not polite. After Zhong Yang sat down, he went straight to the topic: "Shicong, how are the things going?"

"The planning and adjustment plan has been completed. This is the first book. Do you see if there are any problems?" Wang Shicong carefully took out a stack of thick documents from his briefcase and handed them to Zhong Yang.

The snow-white cover is printed with the words "Report on the Joint Planning of Industrial Operations" and it turns out that it is the letter of intent for the reform of the planned economic system. Although it is not the original version of the plan, I still want to go far. As long as Zhong Yang nods his head to agree, the plan will be finalized.

"Yang, do you really need to implement this plan according to this plan? Many people have expressed doubts about this plan, and recently a lot of funds have begun to withdraw. I am worried that it will cause large-scale economic turmoil." Seeing Zhong Yang looking at the information, Wang Shicong was also a little worried. The trend of businessmen's withdrawal has a great impact on Hualian's economy and must be taken seriously.

While looking roughly at the strategy of the plan, he also responded to Wang Shicong's reminder: "Shicong, although it is difficult to adjust now, it will not be difficult to make a comeback. No matter how much the loss is, this is a grand strategy related to the future, and there is no way to sacrifice it."

"Oh, I hope your decision is right. It is still worth paying to exchange the pain of three generations for an infinitely bright future." Looking at Zhong Yang's unwavering determination, Wang Shicong also calmed down. The man sitting in front of him always did things that others could not imagine, and was always right.

Zhong Yang's industrial development strategy is very simple, and it is also the same with the adjustment of the social system. He focuses on efficiency, and this efficiency has nothing to do with economic benefits, but rather the accumulation speed in industrial technology development.

The first step is actually the establishment of a large scientific research base. The ancient Chinese will use the Industrial and Economic Union as a bridge to control the entire Hualian political system and industrial and commercial community, forming a huge organization that shrouds society.

Then most of the intellectuals gathered together to research and development without considering results in the technical field, completely abandoning economic benefits, but paying attention to the development of the technology itself. The enterprise organizations under the jurisdiction of the Federation of Industry and Economics are also part of the entire huge research team, with their own tasks and points system.

These scores are related to how much resource allocation quota you can get, and the company is also its own, so there will be no laziness in eating and doing things.

The planned economy, which was originally just a wartime means, has also been maintained, and reforms did not adopt macro-control policies, and are basically based on direct administrative intervention.

Through the war, Gu Yuejun commanded two major funds to forcibly get fed up with many industries from many capital merchants who were unwilling to cooperate with the actions, and cooperated with Hualian government departments to redeem various assets with paper money in the violent inflation after the war.

In April, most of the shares of all major enterprises not of the three major chaebol groups were concentrated in the hands of the Guwen Club. By the end of the restructuring, Hualian's large enterprises had state and individual shares, and the companies also held high proportions of shares, and were entangled.

The operators of the three major groups formed a joint business association, such as Chen Ze of Tianyu Group, Liu Haoran of Xinghua News Agency, Yi Zhongming of Qingzhu Chemical, and Duan Yitian of Guangdong-hailing Business Association. They used the Federation of Industry and Economics as the coordination agency to conduct intelligence exchange and coordinate actions, unify and adjust the group's will, and possess all operating power.

Under this system, individuals cannot be expected to influence the business activities of the company by buying and selling equity or participating in shareholder meetings.

In fact, ancient Chinese language manipulates the Industrial and Economic Union, which manipulates the government and industrial and commercial systems, forming a pyramid-shaped guided layer by layer. This is a stable form of power and is also very conducive to concentrating the country's manpower and material resources to explore technologies with long-term strategic significance.

The birth of the China Economic Union made it difficult for the chaebol family to be born, which owned most of the industrial assets. The Chen, Liu, Yi and other families, who already had similar signs, also lost the opportunity under the impact of this wave of reform. The entire Hualian has become an enterprise, and under such a system, it is impossible to rely on capital accumulation to form a clan.

However, due to the close division of labor and coordination among these enterprises under the chaebol family, most of the equity was taken over to the China Economic Union. In a short period of time, the three major enterprise groups still maintained their leadership position within the China Economic Union, and Hualian's economy was again controlled by large enterprise groups.

Compared with the pre-war period, the degree of monopoly has become increasingly severe, and corporate equity is mostly concentrated in the government or held by enterprises by each other, and the economic system is getting further and further away from the ideal free market economy.

Various banks have also begun to appear one after another, corresponding to their respective groups, such as Tianyu Bank, Xinghua Bank and Qingzhu Bank. The establishment of these large groups is not the respective choice of each constituent enterprise, but the unified planning of the Hualian economic department under the guidance of the Industrial and Economic Union.

This series of changes is expected to be completed and will begin operation in September.

After the industrial adjustment, Hualian's internal market implemented a commodity rationing system. Basic consumer goods were only maintained at about twice the population base, and there would not be a large amount of overproduction of products, nor would it take much effort to consider the issue of export and foreign exchange earnings.

Simply put, it is to maintain the basic living needs of the people, and then think of controlling market supply and investing all materials and manpower in the development of heavy industrial technology.

Many of the original light industry industries would be transferred to the ** government, including various production equipment and technologies, and sold them to the Jinling regime, which is undergoing market economic reform at a suitable price.

The Industrial and Economic Union is a large enterprise group that has mastered Hualian's core assets and can also interfere with the activities of a large number of enterprises outside the group, thereby mastering the pulse of the entire Hualian economy. According to the economic model set by Zhong Yang, there are two main control methods:

The first is to use finance to control investment and technology advantages for control. Financial control refers to banks controlled by large enterprise groups providing funds to external enterprises. Before the war, various chaebol banks mainly raised funds for the group's enterprises. Now, each large enterprise bank only has about 20 loans provided to subordinate enterprises.

This has made a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises obey the orders of large groups and enhanced the control capabilities of large groups. In the near future, individual major shareholders will inevitably disappear, and the remaining equity will be mainly concentrated in the hands of legal persons centered on financial institutions.

The Industrial and Economic Union governments are in charge of governments, and they use a unified plan to guide the investment direction of loans to achieve the goal of controlling all enterprises in Hualian. Because it is not aimed at economic benefits, it is inevitable that banks will have a large number of bad debts. In order to cope with this situation, the government is ready to purchase large amounts of bank shares or inject funds into banks at any time, and in fact nationalize private enterprises.

Of course, this country does not refer to the government, but to the ancient Chinese Society.

The group heads of large enterprises basically do not own shares, but managers who are gradually promoted by practitioners, and their ownership and management rights are completely separated. Those who truly own shares are gradually separated from the specific business process and accept unified arrangements.

Technical advantage control refers to controlling a large number of small and medium-sized enterprise groups such as parts factories, cooperative factories, etc. Large enterprises constantly select small and medium-sized enterprises for indirect control, and provide business guidance through shareholding, financial aid, personnel dispatch, etc.

In particular, technical guidance such as quality management is provided, and they are included in their own business plans. That is, the group refines various subordinate enterprises or business associations, but it is not responsible for this type of industry division.

Of course, given the close integration of financial capital and industrial capital, the two control methods are not strictly distinguished. For example, the subsidiaries of large groups adopt a unique investment policy called "series of unilateral domination" to conduct integrated and supporting investments in emerging industries, which facilitates systematic use of foreign technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises only enjoy operating integrity in name only.

This system has three obvious characteristics: one is overall coordination, the second is price control, and the third is import and export control, which completely abandons the competition and elimination mechanism of the free market. In addition to internal monopoly or oligopolistic operations, Hualian has also set up strict foreign trade controls, and plans to continue until fifty years later, especially because of the introduction of technology.

Hualian enterprises need to apply for technology introduction individually, and only after the foreign investment review meeting can they obtain foreign exchange and introduction licenses. The main purpose is not to save foreign exchange, but to look at the long-term and prevent the introduction of complete sets of technologies to combat domestic independent research and development capabilities. For this reason, the China Economic and Economic Union also prompted Hualian Business Department to formulate the following review benchmarks.

It can only promote the development of independent technologies that cannot damage; technology introduction cannot cause chaos in the existing industrial order; technology introduction cannot cause small and medium-sized enterprises to fall into trouble; technology introduction enterprises have other related technologies and financial support, and can flexibly use the imported technologies.

Introducing technology, or frequently using the technology provided by Zhong Yang, is actually not a good thing. Industrial technology research and development must rely on the joint efforts of the entire society to make a wider expansion in the infinitely broad scientific field. It is completely insufficient to rely solely on the efforts of a few people.

Moreover, independent research and development capabilities and habits are also a crucial link. From the beginning of research to the achievement of results, with the help of smart factories, Zhong Yang's R&D team has indeed avoided many detours. But because of this, he missed more opportunities.

In scientific research, mistakes are not worthless. In history, many great inventions have come from a small mistake. And it is precisely because of the huge base of the scientific research team that the field of science and technology has been flourishing.

If you pay too much attention to economic benefits and only develop technologies and products with market prospects, then what Hualian loses will be its own future. Zhong Yang feels that this is not the way China should take, and the Chinese should be able to go further...
