Volume Five The History of Heavy Trees Chapter 776 Sun and Wang Iron and Steel Agreement
Wang Maoru then said to Sun Liwen: "But last year, that is, in the ninth year of the Republic of China, Japan's steel production reached 810,000 tons. According to the data and estimates of my business survey company, although Japan has been affected by the workers' movement, it may reach 1 million to 1.2 million tons this year. The gap between us and Japan is very big."
Sun Liwenqi said: "Where does this data come from?"
Wang Maoru laughed. He didn't know where Sun Liwen's data came from, but his own data was a real investigation report. He publicly said: "In the early years of the Republic of China, I formed a commercial investigation agency, specializing in the investigation of domestic and foreign business information. Only by relying on information can we make judgments in the business community. You must know not only the Chief of Defense, but also a businessman, but also my own business group. If you want to defeat your opponent in business, you must first know the situation of your opponent. The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" will never be defeated. According to the company's investigation, last year, the United States' steel production was 42.81 million tons, the United Kingdom's 9.21 million tons, Germany's 8.54 million tons, France's 2.7 million tons, Russia's 100,000 tons, Mexico's 590,000 tons, Spain's 370,000 tons, China's 60,000 tons, China's 38th place in the world's steel production."
Sun Liwen smiled even more bitterly. The information of his president is actually not as good as that of the General Secretary of National Defense. Moreover, Wang Maoru's information source is not military intelligence, but the information of his own business investigation company. This information is more accurate and detailed.
Wang Maoru said: "I can understand the President's determination to save national industry, especially the steel industry, but nationalization is not a shortcut. It is a poison. Only when the industry is in the hands of merchants can it achieve the most active development and control it in the hands of politicians. It will definitely be managed by a rigid mechanism. Because enterprises must continue to develop, advance, and grow to survive, and in the hands of bureaucrats, they will not die if they develop. Greedy bureaucrats will embezzle and accept bribes from state-owned enterprises, and stupid bureaucrats will rashly decide that the country will lose tens of millions, and stupid bureaucrats will also hinder the development of state-owned enterprises. However, in private enterprises, greedy, stupid, and stupid cannot survive at all. As the chairman, I will never allow someone who makes me lose money to be the general manager."
The goal of nationalizing steel stock companies is to have a small background, preferably the private and the power behind it is small. The three major steel companies in the Northeast have a deep military background, especially Wang Maoru has an absolute stake. The other quarter of the shares are military personnel. The main generals under Wang Maoru, He Rufei, Li Deli, Ren Yuanxing, Gong Xiaoqi, Mao Ziping, Gai Tianjiu, Li Pinxian, etc. all own shares. Even Jiang Fangzhen owns 1% of the shares. If the three major steel companies in the Northeast are really nationalized, even if Wang Maoru reluctantly agrees, other officers will have to fight him.
Wang Maoru suggested that the most effective way to rectify the steel industry is to allow the private participation. The privatization of the steel industry in the Republic of China led to a large number of ***, which also made Sun Liwen's negative attitude towards privatization report. He concluded based on a conclusion based on the steel output of the official steel mills in the Qing Dynasty and the steel output after the intervention of private capital during the Republic of China, and believed that the centralized and nationalized steel system steel mills were suitable. However, he ignored an important reason, which was war. The main reason for the decline in steel production during the Republic of China was not because of technical problems. It was because of the war that people's hearts were not in their jobs.
However, Wang Maoru's persuasion did not seem to have much effect on Sun Liwen. He believed that China's steel production should be able to double next year after unification. This made Wang Maoru stunned. quadruple? Is it a big steelmaking? Sun Liwen said: "Recently, Zhili discovered an iron mine area, an iron mine area was also discovered in Anshan, and an iron mine area was also found in Guizhou Province. If these three mining areas were put into production, China's steel production would definitely increase. In addition, the three major steel companies in Northeast China will reach 60,000 tons this year, and strive to double next year to 240,000 tons, then China's steel industry will reach 300,000 tons next year. In the 11th year of the Republic of China, 300,000 tons, and strive to reach 500,000 tons in the 12th year of the Republic of China, 700,000 tons in the 13th year of the Republic of China, and 1 million tons in the 14th year of the Republic of China."
Wang Maoru opened his mouth wide, where did he start? One million tons of steel? President, are you kidding? Are you planning to surpass Japan during your last term? This plan is a bit too big, just like your 100,000-kilometer railway plan.
Sun Liwen instructed: "The most important difficulty at the moment is not the production of pig iron, but the production of steel. How many tons of pig iron produced by Anshan Iron and Steel Company last year?" Wang Maoru said 220,000 tons of pure iron. Sun Liwen immediately said: "Yes, if all these pure irons are refined into steel, they will be able to achieve their goals in one go next year. It doesn't take four years, and two years will surpass Japan." Wang Maoru had to say that I try my best. Sun Liwen said: "Steel is the life of the country. I will apply to Congress to pass a bill to support the development of the Northeast steel industry, expand the scale of steel, and support your factory."
Wang Maoru smiled bitterly and said: "It is certainly gratifying that national support is, but the most difficult problem facing Northeast Sangang is that there are few mature steel workers and backward steelmaking technology. Even if the scale is expanded, it will be useless. At most, it is to practice more pig iron."
Sun Liwen immediately said: "It's good to practice more pig iron. The steel industry cannot only have steel, but also pig iron. Isn't the iron pots of the people pig iron? Hoes and plows are all pig iron. So, you can expand production and I support you."
After leaving the Presidential Palace, Wang Maoru felt a little dizzy. What does the president mean? Why was he so wild? At first, he vowed to acquire the three major steel mills in Northeast China, but later he became supportive of the three major steel mills. Of course, Wang Maoru considers it from his own perspective. Sun Liwen's Presidential Palace secret office also has his own intelligence system. They also investigated and learned who the person in charge behind the three major steel mills in Northeast China. In addition to Wang Maoru, there are also generals and lieutenant generals of the National Defense Forces.
In this way, Wang Maoru used the wealth he owned to win over his subordinates' military affairs. If Wang Mao was in power, then who would protect everyone's property? In ancient China, there was a tradition of a family in the world, so the soldiers were defeated by the emperor, while what Wang Maoru did was defeated by everyone, and everyone owned the land. If the Russian workers' movement was the working people expecting more welfare benefits, then in China, Wang Maoru and others were the targets of revolution.
Wang Maoru's approach of capturing the land and distributing it to the soldiers also won the morale of the army. This year's military pay was even used to subsidize land coupons. The land coupons obtained for three yuan and three yuan were forced to support Wang Maoru from another perspective, because if Wang Mao was in power, who would admit the land coupon?
It is impossible for Sun Liwen to not know the importance of Wang Maoru to the army, but he underestimated the actual value of the three major steel plants in Northeast China, but his mind changed very quickly. After the acquisition was hopeless, he immediately chose to support him and unconditionally supported him to obtain another support from Wang Maoru. On the other side, the country will integrate steel plants outside the Northeast, such as Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. It is obvious that Wang Maoru showed a cooperative attitude towards Sun Liwen's win over, and the two sides reached a consensus on this.
Unexpectedly, Wang Maoru just arrived at the Ministry of National Defense the next day and heard an interesting news. President Sun Liwen gave a speech at the evening congressional constitutional dinner, claiming that China's steel production will exceed the 120,000 tons mark this year and will exceed the 300,000 tons mark next year. He was even more amused and crying. Our President is too big a mouth?
President Sun Liwen also proposed at the dinner to integrate the national steel industry, among which official factories and semi-official factories will be re-run, and the state will provide subsidies for losses. Individual steel plants will not be affected by this, and the steel industry will be encouraged to support the national steel plants. Especially for Northeast Sangang, which has the latest factory construction but has the highest technological content, the country will allocate 10 million silver dollars to support its expansion.
Yang Du ran over and laughed and said, "Sun Dapao is firing again. This year, 120,000 steel will be released, and next year, 300,000 tons? The country has just been unified, so how can it be such a scale? There are still 10 million, so where can it get 10 million?"
Wang Maoru also smiled and said, "Wishes are good, President Sun is an idealist, and we allow him to express his wishes."
Yang Du said disdainfully: "I said at the beginning that this president will definitely make some trouble." Wang Maoru also rejected Sun Liwen's idea of officializing all steel plants by himself and told him. Yang Du sneered and contemptuously: "It must be the people of the Democratic Party who are making trouble. They are jealous of the Northeast steel plants. People of the Democratic Party cannot govern the country, but they have a good way to mess with their own people. Xiusheng should be worried that they will not be able to find another plan."
Wang Maoru nodded and said, "Of course, but I'll ask Brother Xizi to take care of him."
Yang Du rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, I, Yang Xizi, are not easy to mess with."
