Chapter 1545 Central South Breakthrough
The fastest-growing Indo-South Asia, the Indo-South Peninsula, which originally belonged to the entire Indo-South Peninsula, is a huge peninsula in Southeast Asia. Such a place, long ago, was a vassal state of China and has always had a profound Chinese background. For example, among the top leaders, Chinese is the main text. When the vassal kings ascended the throne, they need to be recognized by the central government. Chinese culture almost penetrated them from top to bottom.
However, in modern times, with China's backwardness on the historical stage, these were the first to be eroded. After all, China's reputation is beyond the reach of 1840. Even around 1840, China's GDP was huge. Without being pulled down by Britain as a powerful country, few countries dared to challenge China directly.
Now, China has embarked on a completely different path from history. It not only forcibly expelled the great powers, but also accepted the colonies of these great powers. It can be said without hesitation that the Indochina Peninsula has received relatively smoothly. After expelling the colonists, there was almost no resistance. Facing the Celestial Kingdom and facing a more superior and stronger China, they are willing to be one of them.
For the Indochina Peninsula, its own means are not as fierce as Indonesia. Of course, isolation and dispersion are still necessary. China needs to have a stable land, not a time bomb that has the danger of explosion at any time. At present, only 27% of the indigenous people in the Indochina Peninsula are left, and more than twice as many Chinese people are filled. The total number of Chinese people currently accounts for more than 85%, which is relatively safe. As long as the development goes smoothly in the next few years, this land will naturally swallow it.
The infrastructure construction of the Indochina Peninsula is still more than one level away from Borneo. It can develop rapidly at the beginning, and even surpass Indonesian Province in 1915, becoming the province with the largest economic output and growth rate in Southeast Asia, not only thanks to its position, but also his leadership and the growth of Central and Southern Province.
The governor of Central and Southern Province, named Wang Rongmin, was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was also one of the first people in China to receive Western education. He received a complete Western education as early as 1890. Seven years later, in 1897, he studied in the United States, studied economy, and successfully stayed in the United States, becoming an employee of a joint-stock company. In 5 years, he went from being a general clerk to becoming the deputy general manager, and was also a young talent for a while.
The emergence of Yang Yuanzhao changed the path of Baotou. The eight great masters of Shanxi merchants gathered in Baotou to create the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, a loose and actually quite powerful economy. At the beginning of its establishment, the funds controlled by more than 10 million yuan were exceeded. Then, under Yang Yuanzhao's stones turned into gold, it grew higher and higher like sesame seeds blooming.
In the eyes of Shanxi merchants, tens of millions of funds were a little moved, but it was impossible to take a gamble. Shanxi merchants introduced many people at that time, most of them were from basic Western education education, and young students who had just graduated in the school, real elites, or those who were highly expected, were basically waiting and watching, but soon, these people couldn't sit still because the development speed of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce was surprisingly fast. Not to mention agriculture, the emergence of new seeds and fertilizers increased the output of agricultural output several times. The establishment of a series of factories such as cement factories and cotton textile mills made money every day, and the capital expanded in the first year, from a total capital of 10 million to 100 million, not long.
At this time, everyone could not sit still. A chamber of commerce that invested one or two million yuan was not taken seriously by the eight major merchants of Shanxi merchants. However, when the number rose to 10 million, or even continued to grow, even the most stubborn people could not sit still in the face of such a huge amount of wealth. They really invested in the Baotou Chamber of Commerce and brought back all the personnel.
This is how Wang Rongmin returned to China in 1909 and joined the Baotou Chamber of Commerce that year, responsible for business activities. Because he studied economy and studied in the United States, Wang Rongmin integrated into the development of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce and embarked on the political path from the Baotou Chamber of Commerce as the starting point.
As the earliest group to cooperate with Yang Yuanzhao, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Businessmen not only accumulated a large scale wealth in the development of the northwest, but also cultivated a large number of senior government officials, including Liu Shu, and 37 senior officials above the minister. Wang Rongmin was among them, which was not eye-catching. He only served in the Ministry of Finance at the beginning. When Lan Fang was established, he had already intervened in Lan Fang's finance and banking, and finally became the governor of Central and Southern Province.
Wang Rongmin, who is only 39 years old this year, is also a backbone cadre in China, where cadres are young. He has taken the position of governor and became a provincial senior. If he does not have a further idea, it is probably unreasonable. After Yang Yuanzhao's development, after China's development and prosperity, he will no longer rely on power tactics. Without a beautiful economic figure, even if the background is strong, no matter how powerful the power tactics are, he cannot be promoted.
Wang Rongmin was able to seize the opportunity to come to Lan Fang and took advantage of the opportunity to draw the province to become the governor of Central and Southern Province. His ambition was great. When Lan Fang was drawing the province, Indonesia was the most important of the four provinces. After all, based on Borneo, it was once the capital of Lan Fang. It was the best place to develop in all aspects. Not only did it basically complete industrialization, it also undertakes steel and petrochemical production capacity from China.
But Wang Rongmin saw it very clearly that China will always be based on its original territory, that is, only places close to its original territory can they develop better, not to mention that the Indochina Peninsula and mainland China are integrated, and railways and other modes of transportation can connect it. Borneo is still a little bit short of it and needs to cross the sea.
In fact, Wang Rongmin's choice was very correct. In the first year he entered the Indochina Peninsula, the extension of four domestic trunk railways began to be completed in the Indochina Peninsula, one leads to the original Myanmar, two leads to the original Thailand, and one leads to Vietnam. The passage of these four railways made the Indochina Peninsula an extension of the Chinese trunk railway in Indochina, assisting a batch of basic railway construction. The railway network of the Indochina Peninsula was officially established. Not only could the massive amount of grain produced by the Indochina Peninsula be transported to the country quickly through railways, some tropical unique fruits, off-season vegetables, etc., but also, not to mention a large number of mechanical equipment, from steel to petrochemicals, to some sporadic systems of light and heavy industries. In the Indochina Peninsula, it took a year to catch up with the development of Borneo for several years, and in 1915 it surpassed Indonesian Province and became the fastest-growing province with the largest economic output in Southeast Asia.
If Wang Rongmin's expectations were only the leader in Southeast Asia, he had already obtained. In three years, all the evaluations were excellent Wang Rongmin, who had been on the inspection list of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. However, there were still some concerns in the promotion. The Indochina Peninsula is the Indochina Peninsula. In a sense, it is a newly built province, and many economic activities have been supported by the central government. Whether it is Borneo or Central South Province, many of their projects are under the direct support of the country. Among them, Wang Rongmin played a lot of roles. No one can say whether this role is decisive. From this perspective, Wang Rongmin's achievements are more or less discounted.
Wang Rongmin is also an old man from the Baotou Chamber of Commerce. He can reach this level and have a certain relationship in the government. Although this relationship cannot be directly supported by Wang Rongmin, among the eight major merchants of Shanxi, Liu Shu has the highest position among the eight major merchants. He is not a direct disciple of the eight major merchants, and supports Yang Yuanzhao more. As for Yang Yue, he cares more about scientific research, so most of the highest positions are ministers and governors. However, the omnipresent relationship network can tell Wang Rongmin where the ship is bend and let him adjust according to the situation. This is a preferential treatment that others cannot enjoy, which will save a lot of time.
The returnees in this era are different from those in later generations. Many of the rich second generations went to work in literary employment, and there was not much value in the mud and sand. In this era, children studying in the United States were the best among students. In addition, the United States used the Boxer Indemnity as a guarantee. As long as they could stay in the United States, they could basically concentrate on studying. This objectively created a higher achievement in studying in the United States. They did not have to worry about life issues other than learning. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would definitely learn a lot.
Wang Rongmin is such a person. In terms of personal abilities, he is quite outstanding. He has done a very good job in the Ministry of Finance. He has successively held positions in many different departments. After the establishment of Central and Southern Province, he took advantage of the opportunity to promote several large-scale construction and negotiated some investments, which made Central and Southern Province stand out. Now, after knowing the doubts of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, he knew that it is necessary to have greater development on the original basis, so that it is possible to re-enter the sequence of the Organization Department of the Central Committee.
To be honest, Central South Province is located in Southeast Asia. Although it is connected to China, it is a bit remote. Several railways come here, but only to allow the Indochina Peninsula to join the mainland railway network. It is just a sweeping corners. Several industrial investments are also the transfer of backward production capacity in China. Although Wang Rongmin can promote and complete more industrial settlement plans, these are not high for the economic improvement of Central South Province. At most, one to two percentage points will be raised on the original basis, making the economic figures more beautiful and the increase is not high, which is not enough to change the impression of the Organization Department of the Central Committee.
Wang Rongmin thought hard and didn't understand what he wanted to do. In the end, he decided not to think about it and look at the current internal reference from the central government. Perhaps there will be an answer to this internal reference to solve his current problem. (To be continued.)
