On April 6, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Lingnan area was already looking like late spring. Above the lofty mountains of Lingnan, five airplanes were flying quietly like a group of huge birds. The Vietnam Ridge Mountains fly towards Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province.
These five planes are election support planes for the National Socialist Party. In the past twenty days, Li Zicheng has flown to major cities in Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and Hunan provinces. Just as Li Zicheng expected, every time the plane landed in a certain city, a strong wind would immediately set off in that city.
airplane!
As the freshest and most advanced means of transportation in this era, it has fully demonstrated its influence. In twenty days, these five planes rolled up a whirlwind in four provinces. With the creation of the whirlwind, the National Socialist Party , election support, and Li Zicheng have always occupied the front pages of domestic newspapers.
Now people in large and medium-sized cities in every province are looking forward to the arrival of the election support fleet. Of course, for the vast majority of people, what they are more looking forward to is seeing aircraft, especially the two escort aircraft of the aviation fleet. Aircraft aerial display. But even so, the National Socialist Party and Li Zicheng became familiar to people.
In the cabin, sunlight shines into the cabin through the huge square windows, making the cabin look very bright. Leaning on the soft chair, Li Zicheng flipped through the latest reports from time to time, with a hint of joy in his calm demeanor.
In twenty days, the effect of visiting twenty cities in four provinces was far better than he originally imagined. Those twenty cities were all by-elections, and voting in six of them had ended. In the Wuchang constituency, which had the best effect, , the National Socialist Party won more than 90% of by-election seats, and even in the worst cities, it won 70% of by-election seats.
If this situation continues, after this congressional by-election, the National Socialist Party is likely to become the largest party in Congress with about 30% of the seats, and may also win control of three provinces such as Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi Parliament, the mainstream of these three provincial parliaments was previously the Kuomintang. Its parliament members all lost their qualifications after the "Miner's Rebellion", and the provincial parliaments of the three provinces were almost re-elected.
Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi Li Zicheng's smile grew wider as he considered the provincial councils that the National Socialist Party might control after the by-elections. If he could control these six provincial councils, it would mean He will be able to control a small half of China, which will undoubtedly become another powerful bargaining chip for his political career in the capital.
"If we can win Guangdong and Fujian provinces"
Muttering in his heart, Li Zicheng saw in front of him a situation where half of the country was already established. The provincial councils of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian were all once controlled by the Kuomintang, so they were The top priority of this by-election is that if the eight provincial assemblies can be controlled by the National Socialist Party, it means that the National Socialist Party will control the eight provinces.
The provincial council may not be able to play a big role in the hands of the Kuomintang, but in the hands of Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng is confident that he can maximize the role of the provincial council. Of course, the most fundamental support is force and financial resources. Without force, Backed by financial resources, the National Socialist Party was just the second Kuomintang.
But what does it mean when the National Socialist Party has the backing of force and financial resources and can control the eight provincial councils? He smiled meaningfully. As the architect of the entire plan, Li Zicheng certainly knew what this meant. This meant that two months later, he would be qualified to "crack the earth" with Yuan Shikai.
"Guangdong¡¡"
But thinking of these two words, the smile on Li Zicheng's face slowly disappeared. Guangdong Province is the stronghold of the Kuomintang. Currently, there are only eleven remaining members of the Guangdong Provincial Council, and there are more than a hundred other members. They are all disqualified from competing because they are members of the Kuomintang, and those people are either "revolutionary meritorious deeds" or "local celebrities." If the National Socialist Party wants to win Guangdong, it is really
At this moment, Zhang Yilin walked over from the tail cabin, then bent down and said.
"After a brief envoy, Manager Mu sent a telegram."
Although the "" passenger plane is not large in size, in order to facilitate communication, a telegraph machine was still installed on the plane to maintain contact with Longhai and maintain communication with each other.
"Ouchu?"
Li Zicheng was stunned. Mu was not responsible for the affairs of the Office of the General Manager. He sent him a telegram, obviously for the company's affairs. Although he was the chairman of the company, Mu was still responsible for the main affairs of the company. I just grasp the general direction and guide the technology center when to release what technology.
"Yes, Jing Lue Envoy."
While Zhang Yilin was speaking, he handed over the telegram.
"It's estimated to be 10,000 words"
10,000 words?Telegram!
After taking the dozen or so pages of the telegraph newspaper, Li Zicheng really didn¡¯t know what big event would happen that would allow Mu to send such a long telegram. "Such a long telegram"
While talking to himself, he began to read the telegram,
"establish a chemical company?"
Looking at Mu's report, Li Zicheng didn't find it surprising. "One business, one enterprise" will be the focus of the company's development in the next four years. Through industry monopoly, it can reduce the company's management costs and promote industry development to a large extent. This is not only in the interests of the company, but also in the interests of the country. For China, which is "poor and white", if it wants to establish a complete industrial system, it must go through comprehensive planning to achieve this goal in the short term. However, China's economic environment makes it impossible for China to adopt a "planned economy". In this case, it can only be accomplished through administrative guidance, but administrative guidance has no legal basis.
Although the policies formulated by forward-looking elites are not only beneficial to the development of the industry, but also beneficial to individual enterprises. Coupled with preferential induction policies, the policies can be recognized by enterprises, but this process is complicated, especially in the With China's shortage of technical personnel, technocrats are even rarer.
However, it is possible to formulate industry guidance through the company to guide the operation of the enterprise and the flow of social resources. However, the most fundamental premise is that a monopoly enterprise of "one enterprise, one enterprise" must be established. Corporate binding force to achieve the same purpose, and the company in turn, to a certain extent, accepts "guidance" from the government.
Although this was originally a company development strategy formulated by Taylor, the reason why Li Zicheng agreed with this idea was because during World War II, Germany used monopoly organizations to fully control the country's industrial and commercial economy, and then used its support for monopoly organizations in exchange for its colleagues. The cooperation of the government thus ensured the normal operation of the German wartime economy and achieved the purpose of comprehensively intervening in the national economy and promoting militarization of the national economy.
Although the goals are different, one thing is ultimately the same, which is to maximize the development of the country's industrial economy through control of the national economy.
For Li Zicheng, to a large extent, although it is difficult to devote 100% of energy to corporate exhibitions as in the past, he does not dare to underestimate corporate exhibitions. After all, for a long time in the future, * The company, as well as hundreds of independent operating companies controlled by the *, will assume the mission and responsibility of the entire country's industrialization. In the future, the company will be closely linked to the fate of the country, so it must not be ignored.
Chemistry Concern!
This happened so suddenly that Li Zicheng could hardly believe it, because according to the plan, China's first Concern Company would be formed by Lianyungang Iron and Steel Company and Han Yeping Company into China's first large-scale Concern Company. monopoly in the steel industry, and then plan the development of the steel industry across China.
The reason why I chose the steel industry is not only because of the huge profits in this industry, but also because Li Zicheng controls the equity of Han Yeping Company, and Han Yeping Company recently applied for a huge loan from the Industrial Savings Bank for Iron-making blast furnaces, steel-making furnaces and rolling mills were built. Now the merger of the two companies has been put on the agenda, but at this moment, Yongli Chemical, which was formed by the merger of Jiuda Refined Salt and Fengshou Fertilizer, tried to merge with Gonghe Dyestuff.
"Fan Xudong!"
While astonished, Li Zicheng was no stranger to this man. In fact, no one in later generations would be familiar with him. It was for this reason that when Fan Xudong set up a factory in Lianyungang, he would bring soda ash to the market. The manufacturing patent was handed over to Jiuda in exchange for Jiuda's shares.
"Yongli Chemical and Gonghe Dyestuff merged into one company!"
Looking at the contents of the telegram, Li Zicheng muttered to himself.
"The company can control more than 70% of the shares of Xinxin Enterprise. The company hired Fan Xudong as the general manager of the new enterprise to be responsible for the company's operations"
Seeing this, Li Zicheng nodded. There has always been a saying in China, "It's better to be a chicken than an oxtail." Fan Xudong was able to sacrifice corporate autonomy in exchange for the emergence of a chemical monopoly. This kind of courage is really a bit difficult in China. Rarely, according to the "one enterprise, one enterprise" plan, the biggest difficulty is not to own the company, but the Chinese people's mentality of "rather being a chicken than an oxtail".
¡°By reducing exports to Britain and France, increasing exports to the United States, and suppressing the U.S. chemical industry, the ultimate goal is to occupy the U.S. market¡±
So ambitious! While sighing in his heart, Li Zicheng looked down again, his face becoming more serious the more he looked at it.
¡°¡through control of the U.S. and Asian markets, after the war, we reached an international market segmentation with British and German chemical companies to ensure that ChinaThe chemical industry industry will not fall into vicious price competition after the war, and the company's interests will be protected to the maximum extent"
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Li Zicheng, with a serious expression, fell into deep thought. While admiring Fan Xudong's insight, he was thinking about the possibility of realizing the "one industry, one enterprise" policy. The reason is very simple. In Mu's telegram Although he agreed with the merger of the company, he was somewhat wary of Fan Xudong.
This is true even when faced with corporate mergers with the strong power of the Communist Party, not to mention other companies. However, corporate mergers are the only way for China's industrial and industrial economic development. Otherwise, China's industrial world will be in disarray. The experience of later generations makes it clear. Tell Li Zicheng that if there is no core in the industry and no group is formed, it will be easy for foreigners to defeat each other. For many business owners, they value personal interests more than the overall interests, especially when the overall interests are When interests conflict with personal interests.
"Jing Lue Envoy, are you thinking about something?"
Zhang Binglin¡¯s question made Li Zicheng spread his hands with a wry smile, and then whispered with emotion:
"There is no way. I have to get involved in the company's affairs, the public office's affairs, everything"
At this time, the plane was flying through the clouds and fog over the Nanling Mountains with green waters and green mountains. As he flipped through his notes and recorded the problems faced by the company, waves of annoyance flashed through Li Zicheng's heart from time to time.
Unless the company is ready to take advantage of technological advantages and suppress industry organizations, only in this way can an industry monopoly be quickly established. However, this is not what Li Zicheng wants to see, because more or less, for industrialists of this era, , Li Zicheng has a deep affection for him.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Chinese society was experiencing unprecedented suffering. Externally, there are great powers that are devouring and encroaching on us, while internally, there is political corruption, warlords fighting, people's livelihood is in ruins, and the people are in dire straits. However, since the Chinese people strived to become stronger at the end of the 19th century, batches of Chinese industrialists have thrived and created one Chinese enterprise after another that is famous both at home and abroad. These industrialists took saving the country through industry as their own duty, serving the society as their purpose, and striving for strength as their motivation. Zhang Jian, Zhou Xuexi, Lu Zuofu, the Rong brothers, the Jian family these names appeared one after another in the history of national salvation. They set up industries, study science and technology, donate money for charity, or support education They worked hard to revitalize China and help the people. The legendary experiences of these people and the huge impact of these events have left an indelible mark on Chinese history.
Reading their biographies in later generations always makes people feel soul-stirring. On the other hand, looking back at the so-called "entrepreneurs" and the so-called "national businessmen" of later generations has only disappointed people to the extreme. Apart from sighing that "there is no businessman without treachery", I am afraid that the only thing left in my heart is to treat those who suffer from internal and external worries. The rising "industrialists" yearned for it.
For such people, in addition to providing support, Li Zicheng really can't bear to be cruel to them, defeat their companies with technological advantages, and shatter their beliefs. If he does that
At this moment, he walked over and said bluntly:
"Sir, we are almost arriving in Guangzhou!"
His reminder was for a reason. Now Li Zicheng has been on a "blacklist" of the Revolutionary Party, and Guangzhou is the "base camp" of the Revolutionary Party. Maybe someone there will try to harm him, so he will do it again. Verbal reminder.
¡°Oh, we¡¯re almost here in Guangzhou!¡±
"Sir, I suggest you cancel your speech at the airport"
Speeches at the airport are a change that Li Zicheng made after Wuchang. Speeches directly to the people at the airport are more effective than speeches to members and celebrities in parliament, but this increases security risks.
"Are you saying I should run away because of that warning?"
Asked in return, Li Zicheng shook his head and said.
"What's the use of hiding? If someone wants to kill me, there's no way I can escape!"
Just like in the past, Li Zicheng still rejected the advice of his security captain. He could only hide for a while, but not for a lifetime. It was difficult to prevent hidden arrows!
"But sir, as your safety captain, I must be responsible for your safety!"
Still trying to argue, even though all ten security guards under him are the best in the security department, and there are security personnel from the branch in Guangzhou, for safety reasons, he still hopes that the manager can "hide" .
"Your duty is to protect my safety, and my duty is to ensure the victory of this election! We each have our own responsibilities"
Facing the safety captain¡¯s argument, Li Zicheng said loudly.
Fan was stunned by Jing Suushi's attitude. He opened his mouth wide and looked at him in confusion and astonishment. He didn't say anything for a long time, and finally??, he took another serious look at the commander.
"I still hope you"
"First in the election!"
Li Zicheng closed the notebook in his hand and rested his head on the soft-backed seat for a while.
Alas, no matter how stubborn his security captain's personality is, he knows clearly in his heart why he is so insistent - bulletproof vest. He has a bulletproof vest on his body, which is made of high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. The bulletproof vest is a 3a level bulletproof vest ordered by the Brazilian military police on the plane. It is not difficult to do so. There is also a bulletproof ceramic insert on the chest. Even a rifle cannot penetrate this bulletproof vest. Therefore, for myself Li Zicheng wouldn't worry about his safety.
Even, to a certain extent, Li Zicheng was looking forward to an attempted assassination, because Song Yufu died of an assassination at the end of the congressional election. If the same thing happened to him, then Yuan Shikai would immediately It will be criticized by thousands of people. Under this situation, in the future "decentralization", I can take more advantages
"I hope"
While thinking about this in his mind, Li Zicheng suddenly felt the plane shake, and then he felt like it was falling: the plane began to descend. He opened the plane window and looked out, and saw a city flashing on the ground. Silhouette, and beside the city, there is a river.
That¡¯s Guangzhou!
At this time, an Army Air Force soldier came from the cockpit. When he walked in front of Li Zicheng, he saluted and then said:
"The envoy has arrived in Guangzhou, and the formation is preparing to land"
Guangzhou has arrived!
Looking at the city on the ground outside the window, the atmosphere in the entire cabin changed subtly. That was the base camp of the Revolutionary Party. What would be waiting for them there? At the same time, everyone turned their attention to the manager, as if they wanted to remind him of something.
Facing everyone¡¯s gaze, Li Zicheng smiled slightly.
"Okay, this is not a tiger's mouth, there is nothing to worry about!"
