Chapter 157 Northeast Consortium and Foreman
There are many stories of getting rich overnight. There is a watershed before and after Li Changgeng was in charge of the Northeast. Before, there were stories of getting rich overnight. Some myths and legends in the northeast were circulating. For example, a certain mountain man rescued a injured sika deer in the mountains. Later, he was rescued and rescued the deer. After he was rescued, he found a valley full of hammers with the kindness of the mountain man who saved him. He went home. For example, a carpenter, one night, he got drunk in the shack of wood on the mountain. He encountered a ghost hitting the wall on the way home. While he was spinning in the mountains, he couldn't walk anymore. Finally, he was mixed up. After getting up, he found that it was already dawn. He looked down and saw that the competition that had been stirred up was a large piece of dog-head gold. So the lumberjack came to shovel and pickaxe to dig down the position of the dog-head gold, and finally dug a large gold mine.
People in Northeast China have taken root in this bitter and cold land with such legends. In fact, in Northeast China, whether it is ginseng pickers who dig hammers in the mountains or lumberjacks who go up the mountains and into the forest, they are high-risk occupations that lose their lives at any time.
Of course, the Northeast is not just a bitter and cold place. There is a proverb in the Northeast: "Beat a roe deer and scoop fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. This is a more optimistic description of the Northeast that is rich in natural resources, and the people are easy to survive. As long as you have the strength to survive in the Northeast, you can survive. However, the Northeast has a six-month freezing period a year, and it is very difficult for the people to live in winter."
Before Li Changgeng came to the Northeast, the economy of the Northeast was also quite good. Heilongjiang had the saying that gold was bordered by gold, and it also produced a lot of coal, iron, copper, graphite, wood, soybeans, and other economic industries. Before Li Changgeng managed the Northeast, many people made their fortunes with these resources, and even some big mine owners and big grain merchants had to look carefully at the faces of Japan.
Although Li Changgeng was in charge of Heilongjiang, he had long intervened in the economy of Northeast China. Since Li Changgeng was in charge of the economy of Northeast China, the development of these natural resources has been controlled by him by various means. In a word, mining resources cannot become a small scale and will also cause waste of resources. Private discussions are not allowed to enter these industries. It must be in the form of joint-stock companies, and the proportion of Chinese capital must not be less than 51%, and the industry deposit must also reach more than 5 million oceans. There must be a detailed mining plan report, mining construction plan, safety measures, etc. reported to the Mining Bureau, and only after review by the Mining Bureau Evaluation Committee can enter these industries.
Under these harsh restrictions, a mining trust began to emerge. That is Heilongjiang Mining Group Company, which is dominated by Li Changgeng and Zhang Zuolin. Trust industries such as this have broken down enterprises, as well as Northeast Asia Grain Trade Seed Company, Jiahe Wood Industry Company, Northeast Electric Power Group Corporation and other large capital monopoly consortiums with Northeast Bank as the core. Li Changgeng and Zhang Zuolin are the heads of the Northeast Consortium.
This industry-wide monopoly consortium-style business model is based on Li Changgeng's idea. In fact, the investment direction of the Northeast consortium is selectively concentrated in the capital operation industry with large amounts of capital investment. For example, in the power industry, the investment cost of a thermal power plant may take five to eight years to recover the investment cost. After operating for five to ten years, it will face equipment renewal. This kind of investment cannot be used by private capital.
Food trade is even more related to people's livelihood issues. Without the monopoly operation of the chaebol, it is difficult to effectively regulate the macro market. For example, soybeans are the main focus of exports every year, but the amount of flour swallowed in Northeast China every year is about 20% of the US flour production. With such a large-scale operation of grain capital, the benefits of trust-style operations are obvious.
The monopoly operation of the Northeast Consortium squeezed many former Northeast rich people into bankruptcy. Faced with this problem, Li Changgeng would not be so stupid as to let go, but instead forced these rich people to change their previous business ideas, develop deep processing and product outsourcing services, and capital investment. So a new term was born in Northeast China. That is - a contractor.
The contractors initially succeeded in the civil construction industry. With the construction of a large number of construction in the Northeast, some capable, courageous and smart people began to accumulate wealth by relying on contracting projects. The rapid aggregation of this capital has made all economists dumbfounded.
Those rich people who were squeezed out of their original industries by the Li Consortium were attracted by the huge profits of this industry and worked hard to do their best. So the stories of those ginseng digging people and the gold miners suddenly lost the market and became legends of leading people to goodness, and they are not stories of Northeastern people relieving their depression.
The wealth stories that everyone in Northeast China are now concerned about are real, visible and tangible happiness. Every Northeast China person is concerned about who can take care of a project. At the beginning of the year, this person may still be a hard worker at the station and dock. As long as he can take care of a small project, then by the end of the year, he may be a rich man with an income of over 10,000 yuan. In one year, he may be a rich man with an asset of over 10,000 yuan. Under the influence of this social capital expansion, coupled with the influence of the big pot meal system developed from Heilongjiang to the whole Northeast, the rich man and the civilians eat the same meal and wear the same clothes, and the social expenditure is reduced to the maximum extent. All social wealth is guided into basic engineering construction.
Every Northeastern person is working hard. The turbulent strikes, classes, and market strikes in the country are like being careless and full. Seeing that, the wooden boxes beside the contractor are full of money, and the work is all done by piecework. After the same work, the contractor will hand over the money. Now no one in the Northeast is worried about food, clothing and housing. Didn’t the commander-in-chief say that the money will be praised first, and the big pot and rice will sometimes be in a while. When the Northeast does not need to exchange food and equipment for food, we will go back to our own kitchen, eat whatever we want, wear whatever we want, and repair the road to ensure that ordinary people can afford cars and live in buildings.
Civil construction is just one-sided by contractors. There are also many contractors around the trust enterprises under the Northeast Consortium. These people should be called contractors more accurately. These contractors are closely around these trust enterprises and form a symbiotic relationship. Most of these contractors are former Northeast tyrants, who value long-term interests and high added value of product profits.
The contractors of instant noodle factory contractors for printing under-the-spots and cartons for packaging in the outer packaging of instant noodle factories. In this way, the industry-monopolized instant noodle factory only needs to produce instant noodles. Everything else is left to the contractor. A contractor who also needs to print instant noodle pockets may also contract the printing of trademark stickers for canning manufacturers, cartons for packaging in the outer packaging of instant noodle boxes, and cartons for packaging in the outer packaging of light bulbs may also be the contractor for packaging in the outer packaging of the light bulb factory.
Due to the rapid expansion of wealth of these contractors and the fierce competitive environment, they are no longer satisfied with the Northeast market. Active contractors yearn for larger stage development and have begun to focus on the whole country. Even super contractors have invested their business in the international market. These Northeast contractors are ambitiously surrounding the Northeast chaebols in groups.
Take the tussaurus silk industry as an example. In the past, it was not valued in the Northeast and its production was not large in scale. It belonged to the wild breeding model. However, under the organization and planning of the Northeast Textile Group, from upstream centralized large-scale breeding to the production of reel textiles. In the production of finished products, dyed and garment, Li Changgeng, based on the experience of the development of the garment industry in later generations, and after a series of packaging operations, the Northeast Textile Group took tussaurus silk textiles and went directly south to traditional Chinese silk distribution centers such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, and took advantage of its price advantages to defeat the silk industry in Japan and the south.
Looking back, Northeast Textile Group took advantage of the victory to integrate the southern silk reeling industry. Northeast Textile Group first established silk reeling factories, printing and dyeing factories, garment factories and other enterprises in Shanghai as the leaders. Following the contractors around Northeast Textile Group, they began to tacitly divide the work and cooperate. Who is responsible for the acquisition of cocoons, who is responsible for transportation, and who is responsible for trade, is clear and clear.
When the merchants of the southern silk reeling came back to their taste, the trend was already over. Northeast Textile Group won 60% of China's silk reeling market in the battle, and the silk reeling trade was monopolized by Northeast Textile Group. Japan's silk reeling exports decreased by 10% that year. The advantage of Northeast Textile Group's development of the silk reeling industry is that it uses machine production, replacing the original artificial silk reeling, which not only greatly reduces the cost of silk reeling, but also ensures the quality of silk. Northeast Textile Group purchased the most advanced printing and dyeing machines and technologies from Germany, and asked American designers to design the patterns that Americans like, including designing clothing styles, and producing good quality and low-cost costs. It directly entered the United States, the world's largest silk-sized market.
When the Japanese textile industry discovered that the Northeast Textile Group existed, it was already crushed by the Northeast Textile Group and could only compete with the Chinese behind the price. When they knew that Japan and Northeast Textile Group were competing for the price of raw silk, Li Changgeng was commanding the 7th Division to fight against the Russian army in Chita, and waved his hand heroically. He squeezed out a few words from his teeth and played with the little Japan to kill him. He refunded taxes to the raw silk export industry by 20%. Not only did he refund the tax but also freight, I would rather not make a penny in the raw silk industry for ten years.
Of course, Li Changgeng would not do a loss-making business. In fact, the export of raw silk raw materials belongs to a low-profit industry in the competitive environment of China and Japan. The real profit of the silk thickening industry is still in the finished product market. The clothing fabrics used in the world's top high-end clothing market are mostly fur and silk thick. The Japanese's ideas have not changed like those of the Chinese. Although they use machine silk reels and mechanical textiles, they lack understanding of the finished clothing market.
The profits obtained by the Northeast Textile Group utilizes the high-value-added industry of finished clothing are enough to supplement the export losses of the raw silk market. Of course, this cannot be said to be a loss. The Northeast Textile Group cannot make money, and the Japanese textile industry cannot make money. The Japanese silk reeling industry is a small-scale farmer business model, and even 30% of the raw silk is produced by hand. Once this industry has no profit for a long time, farmers who produce upstream raw materials will lose their enthusiasm for planting and raising silkworms. When the Japanese mulberry silk industry is low to the bottom, it is when the Northeast Textile Group monopolizes global silk products. At that time, the raw silk will be bought as much as you want, and even restrict the export of raw silk.
The Northeast Textile Group controls China's silk industry and Japan's trade war, which is only one aspect of the Li Consortium's control of trust enterprises. In the Northeast, there are many light industries related to people's livelihood, such as grain and oil, ceramics, furniture, tobacco and alcohol, and have grown into a huge profitable trust industry.
These contractors in the Northeast have begun to become active across the country. They may not have culture or understand the unspoken business rules, but they are really able to do everything with money. These people believe in what Li Changgeng said, and the problem that money can solve is not a problem. It is these contractors in the Northeast that have spread the wealth of the Northeast to the whole country. Many people in northern China have said that Northeast China does not have to worry about food and clothing, and makes a lot of money. In cities such as Beijing and Tianjin, the strong tickets of the tickets are already as strong as the ocean, the US dollar and the British pounds. Even some foreign merchants use the tickets for convenience of purchasing. Of course, there is a loud name called Falongyuan.
Although the Zhi-Anhui-Feng War is imminent, the contractors in the Northeast do not care at all. They believe that the Anhui faction cannot stop the Northeast Army from going south to unify the whole country, so they have to rush forward to the Northeast Army and conduct speculation in order to contract larger and more projects.
The Jingpu Railway was built in 1908 and opened to traffic in 1912. It is a north-south longitudinal railway line from Tianjin to Nanjing Pukou. Because this railway is convenient, it has been the main artery of north-south transportation since its completion. On that day, more than a dozen Northeast contractors wearing black standing collars and cowhide windbreakers took the train to Nanjing. The merchants who often take this train know that all those who come out of business in the Northeast have scored this picture. These people talk vulgar, barbaric, and are not gentle at all. They also carry guns and green skins at their waists. Thieves are afraid of them. They have no other offended these people and just do it. They just do it. I heard that there are some bullshit laws in the Northeast. As long as they think you are in danger, they can shoot first.
There was a Qingpi in Tianjin who wanted to rob a Northeast contractor, but as soon as the knife was revealed, it was knocked out by the other party. The incident was very big at that time. The big boss of the Tianjin Qing Gang gathered more than 100 people to surround the Northeast contractor who shot. As a result, the contractor was not honest. He found more than a dozen partners. Seeing that more than 100 people came to the other party, the group of contractors did not shoot out the gun and killed more than 100 Qingpi. Afterwards, he reported to the official position, which made the Tianjin Police Director say that the more than 100 Qingpi deserved it. From then on, the Qingpi in Tianjin took a detour when he saw the Northeast contractor in dress. Tianjin Wei's Qingpi was aggressive and just wanted to give him some blood and blackmail him a few dollars to spend money, but he couldn't make it a loss, so he lost his life.
A middle-aged man with gray hair sat next to these Northeast Contractors, with two bodyguards and a maid accompanying him. The group of Northeast Contractors got into the car. Like mud legs, they took out white wine, roasted chicken and peanuts from their luggage, and yelled and drank. Although the sound was deliberately lowered, it was still annoying. The carriage was filled with roast chicken and white wine.
The middle-aged man glanced at the maid beside him. The maid was very eye-catching and stood up to the group of Northeast contractors and said, "My little sister has been polite to the old men. My husband is in a state of physical condition and can't hear the sound. I hope the old men can understand."
"Haha, big girl, if you don't say anything, you will feel comfortable to listen to. In the meantime, let's keep a little quiet and try not to disturb your husband."
The maid bowed the next time and returned to the middle-aged man and sat down quietly.
One of the contractors, who was slightly fat, said to another slightly fat man, "Sun Xueming, didn't you say that the trains in Northeast China are not allowed to make loud noises? Whatever it is, it's the same. The big girl came to give a greeting, and she looked embarrassed, right?"
"Go, go, you Zhang Fakui don't take advantage of it here. I just said that the local area does not stipulate that the train is not allowed to be loudly in the Northeast. It is your own understanding. Aren't these things all bought by you for money? Don't do to others if you don't want others to do to me. I'm wrong. We can't just be happy. When I returned to Nanjing, I'll treat you to a restaurant. We might as well take this opportunity to discuss what we are going to invest in Shanghai this time."
Zhang Fakui smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you only read a lot of books, and we are only at the level of literacy. Are you sure that we will invest in the construction of a dock in Shanghai this time?"
After hearing Zhang Fakui's words, the other contractors who accompanied him stretched their necks and waited to hear Sun Xueming confirm it. "You guys, didn't you all agree when we came together? Think about it, our commander-in-chief must unify the whole country."
Seeing everyone nodding, Sun Xueming said again: "Our Northeast Army unified the whole country. The two generals of Cao and Wu, who were in direct divisions, have lost sincerity. With the skills of our commander-in-chief and the strength of the Northeast Army, a small Anhui faction is worth mentioning. I haven't heard that the commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief commander-in-chief do what you want to do."
Another contractor in his forties nodded and said, "Xueming, you can't stand our test. Didn't the commander-in-chief say that our army will build it there when it fights."
Sun Xueming clapped his hands and chuckled, "That's right. Shanghai is right. It's the leader of the Yangtze River waterway. The commander-in-chief will definitely start with the construction of Shanghai. The essence of Shanghai is shipping. We must be ahead of the commander-in-chief and set the shipping terminal first. When the commander-in-chief bids, we will not be able to bypass our Wansheng Company. Brothers, think about how big a double berth piping docked with a 10,000-ton ship, which is a dock. According to the commander-in-chief's work, we will not do a project worth 10,000 ton oceans, and he will be able to see it. With only one dock, there will be so many projects to repair freight yards, warehouses, and railways behind. Our brothers Wansheng Company will definitely surpass those in the industry within three years."
When I heard this, the middle-aged man with the maid and bodyguard could not sit still. He walked up and said, "I am Sun Duosen!" (To be continued.
