Chapter 5 Governing Southwest China Section 4 Economic Reform (8)

※Shukaiya hurriedly poured Chiang Kai-shek's official residence... He studied at Yale University in his early years, returned to China to compensate Baiyuan to teach at the university, and served as the director of the Nankai Institute of Economics. After September 18, he joined the Resources Committee at the invitation of Qian Changzhao as a member of the Economics Committee, and last year he became the newly established Deputy Director of the Ministry of Economics.

Today, Chiang Kai-shek's sudden summons were very surprised. After a strange guard took him to the small conference room, he handed him a document, and then left silently.

"Brother Quelian, you are here too

He Lian looked up but it turned out to be Fang Xianting, a colleague from Nankai. He hurriedly asked, "You are here too, what's wrong?"

Fang Xianting Yangyang's document: "You, Kong Yongzhi's big move is really a great creation

He Lian ignored the sarcasm in his tone and quickly sat beside him, let go of the document and read it carefully. The document was not very long, only a short five-page paper, and it was finished in a short while.

After closing the document, He Lian closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. As soon as he opened his eyes, Fang Xianting's voice came: "I've finished reading it, what do you think?"

"Once this strategy is implemented, Yunchu and the others will complain, He Lian said lightly that Yunchu is Wu Yunchu, chairman of Shanghai Tianyuan Chemical Factory.

"How could he come up with such a plan to fish in the waters?" Fang Xianting asked strangely.

He Lian shook his head. He noticed that a hint of disdain flashed quickly on the man in the suit opposite him. Seeing that the same document was placed in front of the other party, he knew that it must have been for the same thing, so he asked with a smile: "What is this gentleman called? My name is He Lian, who works in the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Xiao.

The man in the suit was very polite. He bowed and said, "Zhang Lisheng, he works for the Materials Bureau. He has long been revered by Professor He's name. He has wanted to know Mr. He for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the chance.

Only then did He Lian and Fang Xianting realize that Ji Lai was the director of the Materials Bureau who had been talking a lot recently. He Lian asked politely: "What does Mr. Zhang think of Dean Kong's plan?"

Zhang Lisheng calmly said: "Since the Anti-Japanese War, it is necessary to implement control of materials. However, too much is too much, there should be a degree here.

"Mr. Zhang is right," Fang Xianting said: "Director Kong's plan is to kill chickens and get eggs. According to this plan, the import power of all industrial factories and mines will be banned. Whether it is to produce raw materials or consume goods, if this continues, it will take a few years for the relocation of factories and mines to fall into trouble and even stop.

He Lian quickly introduced: "This is the director of Fang Xianting of the Institute of Economics."

Zhang Lisheng bowed to Fang Xianting again, and then said ambiguously: "Mr. Fang's concerns are not unreasonable. So I said there should be a small degree here, no matter whether it is not enough, or not to be too serious."

He Lian and Fang Xianting are more scholars and focus on academic fields. Zhang Lisheng is different. After reading the documents, his first reaction was that Kong Xiangxi wanted to take back the things he had lost in the Materials Bureau through this. If this plan is implemented, the Materials Bureau will be subject to the Ministry of Finance or his newly established company to a certain extent.

Even though he understood, Zhang Lisheng didn't know how to stop him. He got the director of the Materials Bureau from Kong Xiangxi. Although it was not his own intention, Kong Xiangxi could not take revenge on Chiang Kai-shek, so he could only bear it himself. If he offended Kong Xiangxi again in this matter, he would offend him a lot, and the director of the Materials Bureau would not be able to do it for a long time.

He Lianzheng wanted to further discuss with Zhang Lisheng that the door of the small conference room opened. Chiang Kai-shek was in front, Chen Bulei and Chen Cheng were behind. The three of them came in together. The three of them stood up immediately and waited for Chiang Kai-shek to sit down before they sat down.

"Everyone has seen this plan." Chiang Kai-shek picked up the document in front of him and asked. Everyone nodded, and Chiang Kai-shek said again: "What is the war? Money and materials, the country's finances are tight now, and various materials are in short supply. President Kong proposed this plan. Please discuss this. Is the plan feasible?

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, a silence appeared in the conference room. Everyone looked at Chen Cheng and Zhang Lisheng, and Chen Bulei looked straight at Shuibo without being surprised. In fact, he knew in his heart that it would be a problem that this would not require Kong Xiangxi to participate, but this did not indicate that Chiang Kai-shek had not yet decided to take Kong Xiangxi down.

"I'll say a few words" Fang Xianting couldn't hold it in: "I always thought that the economy should be regulated and strengthened government intervention. Especially during the war, during the European war, both Britain, France and Germany, economic controls were implemented." Fang Xianting grabbed the documents on the table, raised them and threw them on the table: "But it is not such a control. This is killing chickens and getting eggs. The country's finances have been declining in the past two years. The Ministry of Finance's method is to issue more banknotes and implement the policy of currency depreciation. This has led to a sharp rise in prices. Now, using this as an excuse to control imports. Chairman, this will make most companies go bankrupt and go against our goals.

"Well" Before Chiang Kai-shek could speak, Chen Cheng spoke first: "Mr. Fang, I don't know much about the economy, but wasn't Zhuang Wenge also controlling food? Why do you support him when he did this?"

"The regulation of Zhuang-shaped rod and spoon are different concepts of Zongjin". Fang Xian is a small New Year's Eve daily necessities controlled by the Cultural Revolution. President Kong's plan controls the capital chain of production raw materials and enterprises. Please see, all foreign exchange is controlled by the central bank, and the import power is only available in the Ministry of Finance. Only these two items will cause most imitation weaving factories to fall into trouble. my country's cotton production areas are in Jiangnan, North China, and Shandong. Most of these places have fallen. After the factory moved to Sichuan, the means of production are insufficient and must be imported from abroad. In addition, rubber, steel, gasoline, and diesel are small.

.

In addition, fiscal policy must be changed, and no longer endless issuance of money."

Chen Cheng looked carefully at Chiang Kai-shek's face and found nothing abnormal. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, don't be excited. Are we abandoning the discussion? Mr. Fang, your concerns are actually unnecessary. Why? If it is really a means of production, you can apply for an import license from the Ministry of Finance. I believe the Ministry of Finance will not approve it."

He Lian reached out to stop Fang Xianting and said calmly: "General Chen, such a highly quarantine method, can be seen everywhere in the industry. The purpose of controlling the economy and planned economy is to maximize the use of the state's administrative power to allocate resources. This method requires the state to have extremely high control over production and consumption capacity. We do not have such ability now, let alone such a high degree of quarantine may have another side effect, which is."

After getting this plan, Chen Cheng knew what Kong Xiangxi wanted to do. He was very dissatisfied. You, Kong Xiangxi, have too much appetite. If you want to swallow the entire Chinese industry and bank in one go, you will be in charge of import rights. He knew with his toes who Kong Xiangxi would send to control the company. Isn’t his son in the Ministry of Finance? Now that He Lian has said what he wants to say, he will stop when he sees it.

"Mr. Weilei. What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek frowned. He was not unaware of some of the behaviors of the Kong family and was also disgusted. However, He Lian's hint made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he wanted Chen Bulei to come forward to help.

Chen Bulei's natural spiritual association: "Mr. He was worried that if this method was adopted, the government would naturally take measures. This should be another question. The current question is whether this plan can be implemented. Mr. Fang has already put forward reasons, but our current difficulty is that there are not many supplies and must be planned and managed."

"Financial is the engine of the economy. If the engine is controlled, how can this car run? Xiao Yixianting asked back, and then changed his tone and said, "On the contrary, Zhuang Wenge's method is very good. Our materials are like a basin of water. There is only so much water in this basin, and there is less for small troops for civilian use. Now Zhuang Wenge's method is to control civilian use and make the army use more as much as possible. This is the control. President Kong's method is to control production, which is completely two ways.

He Lian also interrupted: "Chairman, once this plan is implemented, it will increase national supplies in the short term, but in the long term, the harm to the industry will be unparalleled. This is drinking poison to quench thirst."

"In fact, it cannot increase materials, only foreign exchange." Fang Xianting was a little calmer now. He calmly analyzed: "Chairman, the purpose of controlling the economy is to let the economy consume resources in the most reasonable way, rather than control the input of resources. The bigger crisis is that financial control will lead to the tight capital chain of enterprises, intensified inflation, and even worse. Loan interest rates, raw materials in the production process, workers' demand for increased wages, etc. will crush the company. At that time, social problems will become more acute, leading to a decline in government prestige, and the chairman will have endless troubles."

Chiang Kai-shek didn't know why. He used to be arbitrary, but now before making a decision, he wanted to listen to opinions from all parties more and more. Even he didn't think about why this was. He also didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua did so many shocking things, as if he was criticized by the political parties for news control, while others were absolutely supported by them. Is it because he had to discuss with these scholars every time he made a decision?

Chen Cheng quietly gave Zhang Lisheng a wink. Zhang Lisheng knew it was time to come forward, so he gently cleared his throat: "Mr. He, Mr. Fang, how do you think it should be controlled?

Zhang Lisheng's meaning is very clear. If you can't come up with a solution, then Chiang Kai-shek will have to adopt Kong Xiangxi's plan. So today you have to come up with an effective plan, or you can adopt Kong Xiangxi's plan.

He Lian was obviously stunned. He glared at Zhang Lisheng with some anger. He thought to himself that he called me in a hurry. How could I come up with a plan? He was about to speak up and play with time. But Fang Xianting opened the briefcase beside him and took out a document: "This document is a plan drafted by our Institute of Economics. He originally planned to hand it over to the chairman after a while. Since that's the case, I'll ask the chairman to read it. Xiao.
Chapter completed!
