Chapter 144 The stinging pain of Fushun(2/2)

Ouyang Xi replied: "We are investigating Frederick Taylor's piece-rate wage system in the coal industry. In addition, we also need to examine the labor efficiency of workers. We hope to summarize workers' labor techniques, save physical energy, enhance efficiency, and thereby improve the unit price."

The goal of human productivity.”

Because this new management theory is now popular in the United States, Ouyang Xi, who has just completed a doctorate in economics from Yale University, can't wait to promote this new management theory in the country. Just as Fushun Coal Mine adopts a piece-rate wage system, he

Come here for an inspection, hoping to improve the current wage system implementation standards and further improve labor efficiency through reasonable distribution.

Song Biao nodded slightly, expressed support for Ouyang Xi's idea, and said: "I heard that you made a special trip to Japan to inspect the current situation of the Japanese economy before returning to China. When I met you last time, we didn't talk much because there were many things to do.

, I just have time now, can you briefly talk about your understanding and judgment of Japan’s current economic situation?”

Ouyang Xi let out a slightly surprised expression and sighed: "I am afraid that Mr. Zheng Guiting and Rong Xingqiao and I have different judgments on the Japanese economy. They both think that the Japanese economy will be relatively difficult in the next five years."

, I doubt it. From the current point of view, after all, there are two colonial markets that can be divided into

Under pressure, the Japanese economy has been recovering rapidly, and the Japanese government's state-owned investment and support scale has also reached a new height. Twenty years ago, Japan's total economic output value in 1885 was expected to be only 500 million yen, and the agricultural output value

75% of the total is produced, and the industrial output value is only about 130 million yen.

Right. Today, despite suffering relatively large trauma in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan’s total economic output remains at 2 billion yen, with industrial output accounting for about 40%. Based on only some information I know now, Qingdao

The total import and export volume of customs accounts for 70% of Shandong's total import and export volume. Qingdao Port last year

The total import volume of China is about 16 million taels of silver, of which textiles account for 60%, and Japanese textiles account for another 60%. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the total annual import volume of domestic textiles has increased by 87.24 million silver dollars from 44.9 million silver dollars according to customs statistics.

has doubled in 2016, and Japan has

The share of textiles in China has surged from less than 1% to half. Every year, nearly 40 million silver dollars of silver flow into the textile exports to my country alone. Although Japan itself also purchases cotton on a large scale from the coast of my country, it is still at least 1,000 yuan per year. Wan Yin Yuan is completely flowing into Japan's textile industry. I have seen Far East Textile

Textile Corporation's plan to compete with the Japanese textile industry. My personal view is that in the next five years, if there is no net investment of more than 50 million silver dollars, it will be difficult to reverse the competitive gap between the Chinese and Japanese textile industries. From this point of view

, I suggest that the Far East Consortium should focus its development on the coal industry.

.The demand for coal is still increasing rapidly around the world. The cost of coal in the three northeastern provinces is relatively low. As long as the domestic residents' demand for coal is appropriately increased and guided, as well as exports are expanded, labor efficiency is continuously improved in a scientific way, and increased

The proportion of mechanization in the coal industry in the three northeastern provinces is huge.

Yes. It is feasible to increase the annual coal output to 50 million tons in about ten years, and it will not have an impact on the international market, and sales will definitely not be a problem. Relatively speaking, the coal industry is easier to develop than the textile industry, and Japan

There is a lack of large-scale and open-pit coal deposits. It is completely impossible to compete with us in this area.”

Because he has never had the opportunity to formally talk to Song Biao after returning to China, and has been unable to prove his worth, Ouyang Xi met Song Biao by chance this time, and Ouyang Xi couldn't wait to seize the opportunity to express his views.

Song Biao could not say that what Ouyang Xi said was right or wrong. From different perspectives, the way of thinking about the problem must be different. It is normal to draw different conclusions. What's more, it is just a sensational theory, which will inevitably be exaggerated.

At least it sounds like it at first glance. Song Biao thought Ouyang Xi's words were quite good, and said: "It's true. The coal industry must be grasped, and the textile industry must not be let go. It's difficult to choose. You try to think more comprehensively, and give me some advice in the near future.

Submit a detailed report."

Ouyang Xi secretly agreed happily and said: "Yes."

Wu Yangzeng naturally hoped that the Far East Consortium would strengthen its support for the coal mining industry. He immediately persuaded Song Biao: "Your Excellency, we have such a good natural foundation. It would be a pity not to make full use of it. If you want to do it, just do it hard."

.”

Song Biao thought for a while, and asked Wu Yangzeng, Ouyang Xi and others: "How many tons of coal are mined in Japan currently?"

Wu Yangzeng said: "Last year it was about 15 million tons. If the production capacity of coal mines in North Korea and Taiwan is included, the total coal mining volume last year was close to 20 million tons."

Song Biao said: "Do you think Japan's coal industry will develop faster and bigger in the future, or will the textile industry develop faster and bigger?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

Song Biao continued: "The coal industry must develop, and the entire mining industry must also develop. However, the problem of the textile industry will become particularly urgent in the next five to ten years. Therefore, I think the current funds and policies should give priority to ensuring the textile industry."

The development of the industry. What about the coal industry? Its development generally depends on your natural resource base. When

They all have time to develop, and it may not matter if they delay it for a year or two. For some accounts, I am afraid that it is not just about whether it is easy to make money or whether it is easy to develop, but about the long term. If the three northeastern provinces want to develop, they will compete with Japanese industry.

, It is destined to start an economic and trade war with Japan, so everything must be considered in the long term based on this!"

When Wu Yang heard these words, he could only sigh and admire him: "What the Governor said is true, we have learned a lesson."

At this time, the accompanying officials and military adjutants following Song Biao also praised the "Military Seat" and the "Governor" for their cleverness. Song Biao seemed very indifferent, as if he didn't like listening to these flattery words, and instead ordered Ouyang Xi to

Said: "You still have to write what you should, maybe you can let us

Seeing other omissions that have not been taken into account, or there are special reasons, such as taxation, it is a matter of comprehensive weighing. If there is a way to develop vigorously at the same time, it will naturally be the best.

Good thing. Mr. Ouyang, do you think this is true?"

Ouyang Xi cautiously agreed: "That's what the Governor said!"

Deep in his heart, he silently shouted: Bullshit, what are you talking about? Taxes, taxes. What else can a government talk about without taxes? You really don’t understand!

Wu Yangzeng continued to praise Song Biao behind him, and introduced the advantages of the coal and iron industry in the three eastern provinces, as well as the development prospects of various other mining industries. Although like Ouyang Xi, he always praised Song Biao, but he did not really destroy the textile industry.

Keeping the matter in mind, he and Rong Xingqiao calculated it. No matter how they calculated it, investing in coal would have a higher rate of return than investing in the textile industry, and it was easy. As long as you were a man, you could become a miner.

Therefore, within the Far East Consortium, it has always used its own capital and loans to invest in the mining industry, especially the coal industry, and basically operates jointly with companies outside the consortium. The textile industry has always been based on joint ventures, selling bonds and stocks as much as possible.

Raise capital and use external forces to develop the textile industry.

Although we can't go against Song Biao's wishes, there are still some tricks that can be used both covertly and covertly. Even though everyone knows that the textile industry is really important and can make a lot of money in the future, they have been making long-term plans and proceeding steadily, but running a business is always the same.

It is evil. It is the last word to make cash and easy money first. When you are not making money, you will recruit others to work together. When you are making money, you will kick others out and go it alone.

As for whether Song Biao understood or knew about it, Wu Yangzeng couldn't tell. Anyway, Song Biao had no habit of directly managing the Far East Consortium.

Making money is the last word. Everyone is greedy. Everyone has to wait for dividends and buy shares based on each other's performance.

Wu Yangzeng didn't know Song Biao's true thoughts deep inside. Song Biao didn't care what others thought, because he knew that it was impossible for him to control everyone's inner world. Therefore, he rarely interfered with the actual affairs of various companies in the Far East Consortium.

Business.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, even more insidious than battlefields.

Song Biao chose to stay away from them. His consistent policy was to keep the ugly talk in front of others. No matter what others did, whoever made a mistake would get out. The power of life and death was in his hands, so he was calmer and more tolerant than anyone else.

As for whether Japan's economy can recover quickly, Song Biao doesn't care much. After all, Japan is now at a stage where the labor force is extremely abundant. It has two colonial markets, North Korea and Taiwan, China has such a large market space, and there are a lot of cheap goods.

With its labor force, as well as good talent and technology reserves, it is not difficult for the Japanese economy to get back on the road to rapid development. The difficulty lies in whether Japan can find more funds.

Song Biao really didn't care. No matter how strong or weak Japan was, no matter how strong it was, what could it do? No matter how weak it could be, what could it do?

In Song Biao's view, in his era, as long as Japan chooses to confront China, the end result will be the same. If it has a navy, it will take turns to fight. If it doesn't have a navy, it will build aircraft and blow it up.

Song Biao just stood so indifferently on the clouds, overlooking all the changes in the overall situation, calmly deciding his own countermeasures, as well as the prosperity, life and death of others, and even the honor and disgrace of other countries.

He is indifferent because not many things can really affect his destiny. (To be continued)
