The fifty-sixth act

After the Japanese Kwantung Army used a sudden attack to control the three northeastern provinces, the Japanese began to absolutely ban the transportation and sale of domestic products from the Republic of China to the Northeast. At the same time, they swallowed the original national enterprises in the Northeast in large gulps. The Northeast, which had lost the help of the state, had no way to resist it. The entire Northeast market was completely monopolized by Japanese goods. This meant that the Republic of China lost a large market, and Japan obtained a large market, and the business community of the Republic of China suffered heavy losses between gains and losses.

After that, the smoke from Songhu seriously affected the survival of national enterprises. Due to well-known reasons, a large number of factories in the Republic of China were concentrated in the Songhu area. The production of these enterprises was severely affected. They were either deliberately destroyed by the Japanese army during the war. Even if they survived, they would inevitably not be able to enter the raw materials and cannot be exported due to the war and the transportation, and they would not be able to go out. In the end, they had to face serious difficulties.

As for these companies in difficulties, the Wang and Jiang government not only did not rescue them, but instead forced them to pay various taxes to raise military expenses, which further led to the serious deterioration of the survival conditions of national enterprises. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Japanese goods quickly occupied the market where domestic goods had no choice but to withdraw.

For enterprises exporting products to the Republic of China, the Japanese government's attitude is to encourage and support, and will implement tax refunds, tax reductions, or even tax exemptions for such enterprises, which greatly reduces the burden on enterprises and reduces the price of exported products.

Moreover, the significance of the Japanese in obtaining the Northeast was not just as simple as occupying a piece of land. At the same time, it also opened up a huge gap in smuggling to China. Since the Republic of China government obtained tariff autonomy, the Japanese smuggling activities have become increasingly rampant. Relying on their military strength, they completely ignore the customs of the Republic of China. It can be said that Japanese goods above seven floors on the market are smuggled goods. Without such a big head of tariffs, the price of Japanese goods will be even lower.

Compared with the various conveniences of Japanese goods, the situation of national enterprises is not so easy. Although they still have some advantages over Japanese in terms of real costs, the problem is that Japanese people have tax refunds, tax cuts, tax cuts, and even smuggling and tax evasion. What about enterprises in the Republic of China? Business tax, income tax, management fees, public security fees, lamp oil donation, cleaning donation, manure donation, tea table donation, table donation, plus the lika charges along the way, bandits' money to buy roads, etc. It can be said that for these national enterprises, the Republic of China government has no intention of supporting them for half a cent. There is only pure blood sucking.

From this, the situation of the merchants in the Republic of China can be imagined. However, there was only one exception in the entire Republic of China, that is, the three provinces under Roger's rule.

First of all, Roger is very supportive of the companies under his command, whether it is his own company or not. He knows that the benefits he gets from training a company with low taxes are far more than those earned by various taxes. In order to cultivate local companies, his tax rate is quite low, without any taxes or taxes or blocked by Lika. If anyone is lucky enough to have an export order, he will also enjoy tax refund treatment. The overall living environment of the company is not worse than that of Japan.

Moreover, here you can see American goods, British goods, and even German goods with extremely embarrassing national conditions. But you can't see Japanese goods, because Roger has ordered unilateral economic sanctions against Japan, absolutely prohibiting the import of any Japanese goods and prohibiting any export of any goods to Japan.

Due to the existence of the Qiongya Navy, various anti-smuggling departments are always operating at full capacity, and the Japanese cannot smuggle large quantities of goods on a large scale to Roger's territory. Occasionally, smuggled goods will be reported quickly. There is no market for smuggling Japanese goods here. At the same time, compared with expensive European and American goods, domestic goods with high quality and low price are more popular, and the survival of national enterprises is very good. Nowadays, many national enterprises have given up their traditional intention of building factories in Shanghai area and are more willing to invest in and build factories on Roger's territory.

The extremely friendly attitude towards merchants and the tough attitude towards Japan during the Battle of Shanghai on board. No one of the merchants here doubted the authenticity of Roger's words. They all felt that if he could lead them to fight against the Japanese, then there would be hope for the future! For people like Wang and Jiang, they were despairing. Not to mention how much they had in fighting against Japan, even if they really fought against Japan, they would only treat them like merchants as fat sheep.

"Master Luo, everyone knows what you said, so you just want to say what to do. As long as it is done with the Japanese, everyone will definitely support you!"

I don’t know which businessman who had a good relationship with Roger spoke up at the bottom. In an instant, the entire hall echoed with various dialects, and the atmosphere was in full swing.

Roger smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone is willing to help me, that's great. Only when we unite can we truly usher in the rejuvenation of the nation! In fact, I, Luo, have something to ask for.

Although you may not have seen me, I believe everyone must have heard of our second batch of shipbuilding plans in Qiongya? In addition, you should also know how huge the funds we have invested in infrastructure construction in the three provinces?”

Although I can't see the expressions of everyone in the audience, Roger can still imagine the excitement on their faces, because the words he just said were simply the time-consuming routine of warlords slaughtering fat sheep and gathering the army! Ignoring what those people were thinking, Roger continued:

"Because of these huge projects, I, Roger, have no money on hand in your eyes, now, so I'm asking you to come here this time to ask you to help me."

"really"

Almost everyone in the venue had such a word in their minds. Even people from the three provinces under Roger ruled by him did not have such tricks in the early years.

"As a matter of fact, even the General Luo, who has always been praised by people, cannot avoid the vulgarity. The lion still has to eat meat..." After hearing Roger's words, Qian Liuye couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. He had experienced this kind of thing countless times. Although he was emotionally lost, he seemed quite calm. To be more precise, he should have been numb.

Originally, he had great expectations for Roger, after all, everyone was watching what he did. From the beginning, he wiped out bandit gangs, banned drugs and gambling, encouraged farming and sericulture, reduced taxes, and now invested a lot of money to build three provinces, and even fought with the Japanese in Songhu with the danger of being wiped out. All these show that Roger was a real anti-Japanese marshal who had the people in his heart and businessmen.

But now, it seems that this handsome man is good, but many things are not exempted from being vulgar. After all, the handsome man is still a handsome man, so he can't become the shopkeeper of a restaurant no matter how he is, right?

So he was already thinking about how much blood he would have to produce this time.

"This matter...is not right..."

Unlike Qian Liuye next to him, Boss Wang is not planning to avoid disasters by losing money. As a person who has been making a living under Roger, he knows Roger's style of acting. He never does this kind of blackmailing money. Moreover, more importantly, the people who have come here are not just from the three provinces, but also from other parts of the country!

If Roger was really short of money and was looking for someone to collect some military expenses, it should have been done within the three provinces he controlled. What is the matter of finding all the well-known businessmen in the country? It is obviously overtaken?

Qian Liuye, who had always been smart, shouldn't have not noticed such a big problem, but he has always been blackmailed by warlords and has gradually become accustomed to this kind of thing, so he did not realize the problem for a while.

While the two were thinking slowly, an old but full of breath was whispering in the venue.

"If Marshal Luo is short of money and turnover here, then I will donate one million oceans!"

The old man's voice was like a huge rock that crushed everyone's whispers. People turned their heads and looked at the "big celebrity" who spoke up with a million oceans. At this time, the value of one million oceans was very high! The purchasing power was only much greater than that of the billion yuan in later generations. Although the people in the venue were valuable, they did not dare to throw out all one million to the warlords, because their net worth over one million included fixed assets, and the money given to the warlords could only be a real ocean!

Just like in modern society, few people who are called billionaires have deposits of over 100 million yuan. Their money is all factories, companies, but not money!

If those people were asked to take out a million ocean of cash at once, it would be a life-threatening job! Needless to say, the capital chain would definitely be broken, not to mention that it is the most famous economic crisis and depression in world history? Who dares to withdraw one million to feed the wolf? Do you want to live?

"Old Chen! You can't do anything nonsense! Where do you go to get that million? Most of your factory is in the Northeast!"

"Yes, my factory in Northeast China is gone, but I can still make up for the rest by selling it for one million. Dashuai Luo is a person who can do real things. As long as he can help him, we will recognize it even if we put the coffin in it! As long as I can see the day when the Japanese are driven out of China, it will be worth it!"

Hearing someone said this, Roger's brow frowned. He knew that his confinement was too big this time. If someone really sold the coffin book, it would be a big deal. So he quickly lit up the things he was really going to sell. (To be continued...)
