    The chat among the women in Ping'an may only represent some differences in life experience between Northeasterners and Shanghainese. Then, at this time, a group of Northeastern tycoons sitting in Shanghai Oriental Building may have conflicts of interest with local businessmen in Shanghai.  [][].[23][wx].[]The core issue in the collision between the two business gangs is the expansion project of the Shanghai Port Terminal.  Back then, a group of Northeastern tycoons spent their fortunes to build a 10,000-ton cargo terminal in Shanghai. After several years of development, they have captured 70% of the Shanghai port's cargo throughput.  This made the Shanghai business gang, who had originally laughed at the Northeastern tycoon's stupidity, look straight at him.  This not only allowed them to see the power of capital operation, but also caused them to suffer large losses, especially the loss of great development opportunities.  Now the government of the Republic of China is planning to build a terminal in Shanghai to increase the annual throughput of Shanghai Port to tens of millions of tons. The anxious Shanghai business gangs have mobilized all their efforts to win the bid for the construction of this terminal.  Tender for this terminal.  At the same time, the Northeastern tycoons, who have tasted the sweetness, naturally hope to get the top spot in this bidding.  Both parties are working hard to compete for this multi-billion-dollar large-scale project.  It can be said that whoever gets this super project will be able to secure the top position in the domestic industry in the future.  This temptation is far more important than the direct benefits of terminal construction. It means that the country will have priority in building port terminals in the future. Not to mention how much wealth the terminal can create, the benefits generated by the ancillary facilities around the terminal are enough to attract them.  the vision of these national capitalists.  In this competition, the Northeastern tycoons are more confident because they not only have previous experience, but more importantly, they have very convenient funding channels.  The Shanghai Business Gang also has its own advantages, that is, the Shanghai Business Gang is based in Shanghai for development and has unique connections. Of course, in terms of capital, it is not inferior to the Northeast tycoons.  So the consortiums of both sides showed their talents across the sea, and the wharf designers.  We invited the best in the world, the strongest construction team, and the best in the country for financial management, and each formed a lobbying group to operate the relationship in Chang'an.  This invisibly generated operating model suddenly allowed Chinese companies to gain experience in integrating and upgrading the industrial chain.  It has enhanced the internal strength of Chinese enterprises for further development.  Among the tycoons in the Northeast, those who have the most say in this construction project are Zhang Fakui, Sun Xueming and others who were the first to come to Shanghai to build a 10,000-ton wharf. They came to Shanghai to work hard in the world, and it took only a few years to rely on Shanghai Port to build a  Founded a Yuanhua company with annual revenue of tens of millions of dollars.  Because the scale of the Shanghai Port expansion is much larger than the last terminal they invested in.  Faced with competition from Shanghai business gangs, Watson Company attracted many powerful Northeastern tycoons in Shanghai to join.  Shanghai is a city that developed based on port trade, and the companies developing here are more or less related to shipping.  They saw the rapid development of Watson Company in Shanghai in recent years and the huge benefits it had gained. These Northeastern tycoons joined Watson's camp without hesitation.  Today, these tycoons are sitting together to discuss how to defeat the Shanghai business gang and successfully win this project tender.  Sun Xueming, the chairman of this is Huasheng, was the first to speak: "Today I invite you all to come out of your busy schedule to discuss how to deal with the competition from the Shanghai Commercial Gang. This is our most mature bidding plan so far.  . Everyone, take a look. What do you think?" Everyone picked up the bid documents that had been placed in front of them and read them carefully.  Most of these people have industrial backgrounds, and reading bids is not unfamiliar to them.  Soon everyone had a rough look.  Zhang Fakui, the major shareholder of Watson Company, said: "According to the information we got from there, their design plan was designed by the French, which can be said to be comparable to ours. Now our advantage is our construction  The team is experienced and the financing channels are open. "At this time, Yu Pinzhen Dahao, who opened an electrical distribution factory in Shanghai, said: "I have received some news from above that the president will implement a monetary tightening policy this year, but will relax infrastructure accordingly.  construction investment, which means that we can successfully obtain financing from banks, and those in Shanghai can also obtain financing from banks. Our previous advantages in financing are likely to be offset by changes in national financial policies.  I have seen this engineering design. The frame should have been designed by German engineers, but our country¡¯s designers must have been involved. On the basis of the pragmatic design of the Germans, we Chinese designers also added in the practical considerations during the construction.  The cost control is also quite good! The only trouble now is that the big shot will finalize this project. "Yes, who will finalize this bidding plan has become an uneasy feeling among everyone here.  With the fall of the Zhili clique of warlords, most of the presidents, prime ministers, and heads of major ministries are officials from the northeastern clique, and their bidding plans will be more complex.It is easy to get the recognition of these big shots.  However, with the current high-level struggle between the Liang and Yang factions at the upper level, the Shanghai Business Gang has received support from the Liang faction, and its strength is not weak. The president and prime minister must balance the forces of the two factions.  It can only be balanced by a bowl of water!  Members of the Shanghai merchant gang, who were as worried as the Northeastern tycoons, also gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Yu Qiaqing, known as the God of Wealth in Shanghai, became the leader of this meeting. He glanced at the people present, who were at least a thousand.  Wan Wenjia felt proud for a moment, "This time our Minsheng Company competes with the Northeasterners for the Shanghai Port Terminal Expansion Project. We all risk our wealth and lives to compete for it. As long as we win the bid successfully, then  It means that we people not only regain control of the freight share of the Shanghai Port Terminal, but also allow us to obtain part of the national port construction projects that will follow. However, compared with the people in the Northeast, we firstly lack the actual construction experience of the port terminal.  , and the second is the lack of broad financing channels for Northeasterners. I just got a piece of news from a friend in Chang'an that our president will implement a five-year monetary tightening in the near future, but will not provide sufficient funds for various infrastructure projects.  This leaves a big hole, which means that we will soon have sufficient financing sources for the port expansion project. In addition, we hired French designers for the design of the Shanghai port expansion project. This means that we will work with Northeast China to design the project.  People are competing for bids, and the difference in all aspects is not obvious. Now at the last moment, the president and prime minister want to avoid this suspicion, and they will try their best to save this bowl of water even if they don¡¯t know which big shot will be chosen.  Duan Ping. Let¡¯s see if the Liang Rengong and his family who support us can defeat Yang Xizi and his family.¡± As soon as Yu Qiaqing finished speaking, the big businessmen in Shanghai came up.  They all fell silent. Everything they had to do before was done. What they were waiting for now was the outcome of the struggle between Liang and Yang.  This involuntary feeling makes these people who have the power to control the situation on Shanghai Beach feel even more uncomfortable.  At this time, two bid documents from the Northeastern Watson Company and the Shanghainese Minsheng Company were placed on Li Changgeng's desk. Li Changgeng only briefly glanced at the two bid documents. He was not interested in this. He was interested in this.  These two tender documents represent that Chinese companies have learned to integrate their strengths to pursue corporate development. This is the most valuable leap for Chinese companies.  Judging from the efforts to compete for the bid this time.  Jingran attracted the attention of both Liang and Yang cliques, and they even did not hesitate to use their political power.  This was a bit unexpected for Li Changgeng. He did not expect that he had only helped the political forces on both sides. He did not expect that they could integrate such a large political force in such a short period of time and extend their hands to control the business.  It is both a good thing and a bad thing for enterprises to be attached to political forces, but it is a good thing at present. This is more conducive to the concentration of personal power and the rapid development of China's large enterprises.  But should I let the third force reach out?  Li Changgeng quickly made up his mind. He wanted the third force to emerge at this time and threaten the Yang and Liang factions.  So the bidding plan was withheld by Li Changgeng.  In less than a week, the third tender document was placed on Li Changgeng's desk.  This tender document was submitted by the Steamship Merchants Bureau. It was the Steamship Merchants Bureau that Yang Shiqi handed over to Li Changgeng. It has been in Li Changgeng's hands for more than ten years. In these more than ten years.  China Merchants Shipbuilding Group has long since grown into a super tractor. With China Merchants Bank as its core business, it controls 90% of China¡¯s ship passenger transportation business and 90% of China¡¯s shipbuilding ocean freight business. It also controls a large number of railways and mines.  , ports, heavy port machinery manufacturing, shipyards and other industries.  The unexpected appearance of the Steamship Merchants Bureau.  The Northeastern Business Gang and the Shanghai Business Gang were immediately frightened. This Tyrannosaurus Rex was so scary that it was incomparable in terms of financial resources.  There is no comparison with strength, and there is no comparison with connections.  That is the direct descendant of the president!  When the Yang and Liang factions heard the news about the Steamship Merchants Company's move, they both fell silent. There was nothing to argue about. Both groups were speculating on Li Changgeng's intentions suspiciously.  But as a representative of a political faction, you cannot give up what you want to do so easily.  At this time, the two factions also discovered that there was another faction outside them, and this faction was Li Changgeng's trump card to check and balance their power.  For example, the Steamship Merchants Company suddenly appeared this time!  It would definitely be unwise to directly suppress the centrist card played by Li Changgeng.  Both Yang and Liang were still very afraid of Li Changgeng's political skills.  At this time, Yang Du had an incomparable advantage over Liang Qichao, that is, Yang Du had been working beside Li Changgeng for too long, and his grasp of Li Changgeng's thinking was much stronger than that of Liang Qichao.  So Yang Du found representatives of Northeastern tycoons. Sun Xueming, chairman of Watson Company, asked them to submit a project plan this time. This plan should not invite any foreign designers, but should give full play to their previous accumulated experience and draw from the latest Chinese port  This terminal expansion plan was designed from a practical perspective.  and make sureConfidence will make Watson's corporate influence even greater in the future.  After receiving the advice, Sun Xuedong returned to Shanghai and gathered a group of engineers and veteran technicians who had participated in the construction of the wharf to jointly study the new wharf design plan. These people were all actual workers. They did not understand what kind of wharf design was world-class, but they  They know what kind of wharf is suitable for the waterway of the Yangtze River estuary, they know what kind of wharf layout is more conducive to fast loading and unloading of goods, where the warehouse is most suitable, and where the shipyard for ship maintenance is best placed, which is more conducive to the operation of the port.  Seafarers need those dockside facilities even more.  Maybe this kind of terminal design is not the best, but it is definitely the most beneficial to Shanghai Port.  An engineer even considered the next step of Shanghai Port expansion and wrote it in the plan.  This plan not only saves a lot of construction costs, but also greatly enhances the efficiency of the terminal.  Sure enough, when Yang Du placed the port terminal expansion plan on Li Changgeng¡¯s desk, Li Changgeng saw the sincerity of Chinese enterprises.  He signed his name on the tender document without hesitation and wrote an instruction: For any project in China, there is no need to pursue the best design plan in the world, but we must find out from it  The solution that suits us best and benefits us the most.  This kind of design is the best for us!  With Li Changgeng drawing an end to this epoch-making competition among Chinese enterprises, Watson Company won the Shanghai Port Terminal Expansion Project with the final word.  The winning bid plan and Li Changgeng's instructions were subsequently released to the whole society through newspapers.  Both the Shanghai Merchant Gang and the Steamship Merchants Group, which retreated, expressed no objection to the winning bid of this plan.  However, this incident seemed to have ended perfectly.  Its impact is far from over.  After suffering this setback, the Shanghai merchant gang did not regain their composure. They saw benefits from the cooperation in expanding the industrial chain of enterprises.  So the Shanghai Business Gang established the Minsheng Consortium with Minsheng Bank as the core.  The Northeastern Business Gang also established the Watson Group in Shanghai with Watson Bank as its core.  What followed was that each province set up its own consortium.  These consortiums are attached to the political systems of each province, some are strong and some are weak.  But they have caught up with this era of development, and Li Changgeng is also very willing to see the birth of this kind of regional consortium, because in the future, he will need these large, medium and small consortiums to stabilize the country's economy amid the world economic crisis.  And for super projects like the Shanghai Port Terminal Expansion Project, there are projects in various important economic nodes across the country that are enough to excite these consortiums. The country will invest nearly 100 billion yuan in large-scale infrastructure construction in the next five years.  Among them, there are 500 large-scale thermal and water conservancy power plants, as well as large-scale Yellow River hydropower hub projects.  A series of super water conservancy projects such as the Yangtze River Hydropower Project and the Huaihe River Management Project.  Further expansion of the national railway and highway network.  50,000-ton hydraulic press project.  New urbanization expansion project.  With the launch of a series of nationwide large-scale projects, capitalists across the country are frantically participating in this capital feast.  However, what does not correspond to this is that the stock market in the Republic of China became increasingly deserted.  ¡°Then the National Reserve Bank of the Republic of China suddenly issued a policy, that is, the Hua Yuan would implement a gold standard free convertibility policy with a fixed exchange rate, but the outflow of gold and silver was strictly prohibited.  This inexplicable policy was ridiculed by international economists. In the view of these economists, the economic policy of the Republic of China was too conservative, so conservative that it was impossible to evaluate.  The Republic of China has been a foreign trade country in recent years, and the currency value of the Chinese Yuan has been excessively underestimated by the market. The Republic of China should adapt to this economic form. Proper opening of the Hua Yuan exchange rate is the most beneficial direction for China's financial industry.  However, China has gone in the opposite direction. It is obviously a very good export-oriented economy, but it has been forcibly transformed into an inward-oriented economy by the will of the country.  Of course, the people of the Republic of China welcomed this policy, and gold and silver implemented fixed exchange rates in the country.  This allows the Huayuan in their hands to have more stable purchasing power.  Chinese companies have also remained silent on this policy with the release of a series of projects and smooth financing channels.  Some countries ridiculed this economic policy of the Republic of China.  They even offered to export gold and silver to China.  Naturally, the more good things the Republic of China government does, the better.  So much so that China owed tens of billions of dollars in foreign debt in a very short period of time.  At this time, the value of the Chinese dollar was stable at an exchange rate of two to one with the U.S. dollar.  A large amount of gold and silver flowed into the underground vault of the National Reserve Bank of the Republic of China. With these gold and silver as collateral, the National Reserve Bank began to issue Chinese dollars at a ratio of ten to one, and these Chinese dollars would be used for national foundations.  Engineering construction investment.  China¡¯s huge population market, stimulated by the issuance of large amounts of Hua Yuan with a stable currency value, the consumption of Hua Yuan began to suddenly increase.  The consumer market has begun to rise all the way. Home appliances, automobiles, clothing and other products that China could only export for foreign exchange in the past have begun to enter the homes of ordinary people.  Cars and motorcycles began to mature??The first choice of family transportation; installing a telephone at home has become a hot topic among relatives and friends; electric rice cookers and electric woks have become popular kitchen supplies for the people, and refrigerators and radios have become essential appliances for young families.  The sudden and explosive growth of the commercial market in the Republic of China dumbfounded economic experts who once laughed at China's currency reform. In fact, this sudden change in the domestic market also confused Li Changgeng.  In fact, the seeds of this explosive growth have long been planted. In the past few years of the Republic of China, the economy has been stable and has continued to grow. The people have long had a willingness to consume, but the traditional Chinese concept of saving is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.  Everyone is afraid of that day when the world will go back to the past, when you still have to have money in your hands and not panic.  However, with the introduction of the fixed exchange rate policy for the exchange of the Chinese dollar and gold and silver issued by the National Reserve Bank, this is equivalent to a shot in the arm for the Chinese people. Coupled with a series of infrastructure project construction, the people from top to bottom across the country have  Real benefits were obtained.  People think that money is easier to make. As long as you work hard, it is not a dream for two people to earn a full set of home appliances in one year. It is not a dream to buy a national car with one year's salary. It is not a dream to buy a 100-square-meter building with five years' salary.  It¡¯s not a dream either.  When the Chinese government violated economic laws to stimulate the market, resulting in China's rapid economic growth, which was arousing heated discussions among economists and political leaders around the world, the time came in October 1929.  At this time, the U.S. stock market is several times crazier than when Li Changgeng arrived a year ago. Americans are snapping up Chinese-made goods in shopping malls and supermarkets to prepare for Christmas in advance.  (To be continued)
