The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 170: Synthetic Materials in China

.

spn In 1916, China's urbanization process had reached a certain scale, half of the population had entered the cities, and China's urbanization at this time was still very successful.

Since the country has advanced industrial technology and is actively learning the precision manufacturing technology of Westerners, China's industrial technology is not far behind in the world.

After the rural population leaves the countryside, they can get a stable job in the city.

China in later generations is also pursuing urbanization. If it succeeds, it will be North America, and if it fails, it will be South America and India.

The consequences of urbanization failure are more serious, that is, large areas of slums are created, just like India and North America.Because the law of India and North America is like that of China in the later generations. As long as you are not superborn, every rural population has land. This is something that no country can do. Chinese people can’t live in the city anymore. Bar?When the economy is in recession, it is okay for children not to study, and those few acres of land are enough to support a family.But India and South American countries can't, so they are played by the Yankees and have slums everywhere. [

At this time, China's urbanization was still relatively successful, and the Yankees were not strong enough to stifle China's urbanization at this time and eventually evolved into India and South America.

However, China at this time was different from later generations. The agrarian revolution in China at this time was not complete. At the beginning, Jiangyu launched an agrarian revolution movement in Lianghuai and confiscated the land of many landlords, but later gave up because of too much resistance.

However, the land issue has gradually become a headache for Jiang Yu.

Because I started to find that the Yankee style is a bit unworkable in China.

If it is like in the United States, Americans will sell land and factories to buy stocks when stocks are easy to sell, but Chinese people seldom do this.

The Chinese invest their spare money in stocks. If they lose money, they lose it. The most important land and factories are still in their hands.It is equivalent to saying that the Chinese people are very clear about what is right and what is wrong, and they are not as foolish as the American people.

This is also the reason why Yankees of later generations have been trying to destroy China through the stock market but failed. Chinese people feel that stocks are too empty, invisible and intangible. It is more practical to operate land and factories, which they can see .

Because the land revolution could not go on before, Jiangyu changed to engage in the land enclosure movement, that is, all the valuable land was concentrated under the consortium for management, so that no one would have land, and the consortium would not squander money to show off its wealth The latest chapter of Wuji Tianxia.Naturally, there is not much conflict between the rich and the poor.

But now Jiang Yu finds that the stock market is a bit ineffective in dealing with those landlords. Those landlords have learned to be shrewd after being screwed by rubber stocks and railway stocks once or twice.

Landlords don't buy stocks now.They simply started their own factories.

"Is it necessary to use gangsters to violently enclose land?" Jiang Yu pondered this question, hesitant in his heart, if the action was too big, it would definitely cause rebellion from the people.

The consortium's land enclosure movement has only reached a relatively early stage, but the land reclaimed in the northeast and northwest is currently owned by the consortium.However, the enclosure of land in the North China Plain is still insufficient. Although a lot of land in the enclosure south of the Yangtze River has already been controlled by the consortium, the landowners are still everywhere.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt a little envious of European and American countries. The people of European and American countries are too stupid, while the Chinese people are too smart.

"It seems that the consortium should change its strategy as soon as possible, otherwise the harvesting effect will not be very good." Jiang Yu thought to himself.Then let the consortium hold a high-level meeting.

"On the one hand, we can use the means of the United States to stir up the stock market, and then let the stock price fall sharply to lock up private funds. In this way, we can make a lot of money. At the same time, we should not take steps at every step in the already monopolized industries. Attack the positions of private capital and gradually strangle private capital." Zhou Ziyue suggested to Jiang Yu.

"As long as we occupy the real economy and we can print money, we can spend money directly to buy those lands, and those landowners get the money. But they don't have land, and they can only invest in anything domestically. Investing in emerging industries, if we create bubbles in emerging industries, we will still kill them.” Chen Guangfu went on to speak on the sidelines, “The more consortia monopolize the real economy, the money used by the consortium to purchase real estate will actually flow back into the consortium’s pockets. "

"When the time comes, we will create a big bubble economy and then burst the bubble economy. It will be the most efficient if we do it once."

"I know that is very efficient, but the cost is also high. If you don't suffer from labor pains for a few years, you don't want to recover." Jiang Yu said.

"We also use the government and the gangs to jointly encircle and suppress private capital. Private capital will never be able to consume us. As long as we continue to encircle and suppress them, all valuable real estate in the country will be owned by consortiums in the future." [

The meeting ended in a dull manner. At this time, the consortium has not yet reached the time to reap the fruits.

At this time, while the consortia and national capitalists are expanding domestically, they are also uniting together to increase market plunder overseas.

For example, in the markets of India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia, Chinese capital has rushed into it and has mastered many raw material production bases. At the same time, Chinese capital can also be seen in finance, sales, and medical care.

The main problem of China's occupation of the external commodity market is output. If the output of scarce materials such as steel cannot be increased before the end of World War I, then when the Europeans make a comeback, they may not be able to compete with others in terms of price.

It is normal for the country itself to export more when the price is high. When the price is low, domestic demand will be guaranteed first, and exports will naturally decrease.

Only when domestic demand can be guaranteed and a large amount of exports can be guaranteed, can prices be competitive.

At that time, if it was necessary to fight for prices, China was not afraid of Europeans at all.

China has advanced industrial production technology and cheap labor. How can Europe compare?

However, before the Europeans made a comeback, it was indeed a very dreamy golden age. The price of western medicines generally increased by 20-30 times, and some even increased by more than 50 times.

These Western medicine markets are also occupied by Chinese companies, and there are also medicines sent to North and South to compete with Canada and the United States.

The amount of pharmaceutical production in the United States is not large, and the industry was mainly dominated by the Germans before.

China, which had already been prepared, imported medicines to South America and Canada before the United States reacted, and swallowed the markets of Australia, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and Russia at the same time.

Drugs that were originally worth one yuan can now be sold for two to thirty yuan, and one can imagine the huge profits.

The price of steel rails has also risen to eighty Yanhuang coins per ton.Before the First World War, only [-] Yanhuang coins were needed to buy a ton of steel rails. Now the consortium has so much money that they have no place to spend it, so they build a lot of railways.

A large number of ethnic businessmen took money to go overseas to open up markets, especially those veterans. They were disciplined and could endure hardships. Many even went to Africa, South America and other places to open up overseas markets.

They sell Chinese goods to all over the world, and they are sending raw materials from all over the world back to China.

Before 1914, Germany invested 9 million U.S. dollars in South America, and all of these 9 million U.S. dollars in assets have now been sold to China.

Except for investments in South America.Germany also sold its investments in Asia and parts of Africa to Jiangyu's consortium of warlords and oligarchs.

Because the Allies do not have as much gold as the Allies, overseas assets are naturally sold.China does not buy directly with money, but exports various combat materials to Germany.

After the Allies obtained these supplies.At least in 1916, the German Army won one victory after another. It seemed that apart from the fact that the navy had no advantage, it had already achieved a huge advantage on land.

China has also obtained a large amount of overseas assets from Germany, and the Allies are also selling overseas assets.However, the overseas assets of the British are mainly railways.

Almost the majority of British overseas investment is railway investment, accounting for three-quarters. Chinese capital is often not interested in these railways. [

On the contrary, I am very interested in things like those minerals.

France also has some overseas assets, but not as many as Germany, but if it is directly counted as a colony.France's overseas assets are naturally more.

Britain, France, and Russia basically began to sell their assets in China, and the consortium of warlords and oligarchs in Jiangyu also took over all of them, and then exchanged them for materials.

After this battle.There are almost no assets of the great powers in China.

However, China has seized a lot of assets overseas. In addition to the assets bought by spending a lot of money, and those ethnic businessmen began to invest heavily overseas, China's overseas assets are surging.

The number of Chinese who went abroad to run small businesses also began to increase, and those Chinese went abroad before going abroad.They will join a project in China now, and then go overseas to develop markets.

Such as Australia, Canada is now a good place to go.

Jiang Yu formed and began to form Chinese gangster forces in various countries.To ensure that the Chinese who go abroad are not oppressed by the gangsters, as for the official ones, there will naturally be officials to deal with it.

These immigrants organized by the government are running some good small businesses, and these small businesses can also grow bigger.

Such as opening various shops, bars, and the three traditional Chinese knives for overseas survival, kitchen knives, razors, and scissors. However, times have changed after all. Barbershops must open high-end, fashion-leading ones, and restaurants must also be open. It's decent, but you can also open a fast food restaurant for food.

KFC and McDonald's have been pirated by China, but now they are genuine. These fast food restaurants are constantly expanding to countries around the world.

Forget about scissors, Chinese clothing has already led the world in fashion, and it is good to open a clothing store.

There are also wholesale markets in foreign countries, specializing in wholesale Chinese goods to those ghosts.

It is as small as a fruit shop or something.

Although these small businesses are small, but the Chinese occupy a lot of other countries, and the capital earned is a huge sum of money.

The consortium of warlords and oligarchs in Jiangyu is investing in electricity, large mines, and large plantations, while opening banks, department stores, and fast food restaurants to other countries.

Those ethnic businessmen operate small and medium-sized mines, plantations, and some medium-sized shops overseas.

As a result, an overseas investment pattern in which there are Chinese people in the upper, middle and lower levels has been formed.

These overseas investments will bring back a lot of profits for China every year.

There is no doubt that many fields in this era are a blank sheet of paper. You can graffiti on any blank sheet of paper. As long as you are willing to graffiti, you can earn some money.

……

After Jiang Yu held the high-level meeting of the consortium, he went to inspect the consortium's industry. This time he inspected the consortium's synthetic material factory.

In China this year, synthetic materials were manufactured in large quantities.

Three major synthetic materials: plastic, rayon, and synthetic rubber.

Among the three major types of synthetic materials, later generations of plastics have the highest output, up to 6000 million tons per year.It is equivalent to the output of cement and wood.

The annual output of man-made fibers is as high as 1500 million tons, surpassing the cotton output in later generations.

The output of artificial rubber has reached 600 million tons, and its quality exceeds that of natural rubber.

At this time, China has already reached the level of using polyethylene in the synthesis of plastics. The quality of plastics is much better than that of Westerners, and it has an annual output of 300 million tons.

The emergence of plastic has always solved the problem of lack of steel in many industries in China. In other words, the products produced in many industries no longer need to use heavy steel, but can use light plastic to produce goods, and at the same time, they are more beautiful.

Plastic films are also widely used in agriculture to increase agricultural production and harvest.Vegetable greenhouses have also appeared.

All kinds of plastic products are manufactured in large quantities and sold not only domestically but also all over the world.But it also created a lot of foreign exchange for China.

The foreign exchange these days is gold.

In terms of man-made fibers, China has successively synthesized five major synthetic fibers. Among them, the annual output of nylon has reached 30 tons, and the output of the other four synthetic fibers has reached 60 tons. The total output of synthetic fibers is 90 tons. tons.Greatly made up for the lack of cotton production.

Moreover, the new fiber materials make China's clothing more room for change. Some types of fibers can be mass-produced and blended with cotton, which also reduces the problem of insufficient cotton supply.

In terms of synthetic rubber, the consortium's factory chlorinated and polymerized acetylene to obtain monochloro-1-butadiene monomer, which was then polymerized into chloroprene rubber.The synthetic rubber produced has the advantages of oxygen resistance, shock resistance and heat resistance.The performance has surpassed that of natural rubber, and the output has reached 3 tons.

Of course, many of these materials are synthesized by the by-products of petroleum. At this time, China's oil production continues to increase.Oil production has surpassed that of the United States.

Thus breaking the US monopoly on oil.

Nowadays, both the Allies and the Allies import gasoline and other materials from China.And the colonies were flooded with kerosene produced in China.

Chinese kerosene is bound to be cheaper than American kerosene, which can be verified in any country on the planet.

Because China has completely surpassed the United States in terms of oil refining technology, and the United States has to spend a lot of money on oil refining, but China's oil refining efficiency is much higher than that of the United States.

At this time, when China has no money, the rich and powerful are wanted, and women should not run. The latest chapter.It's perfectly fine to dig up more oil and sell it.

Of course, China's oil production is shifting to Iran.

The emergence of these synthetic materials, and the many innovations China has adopted in everyday products.It also brought a lot of wealth to China at this time.

This is another income that is different from the US.

At this time, the United States' exports mainly depended on steel. Even China had to import steel from the United States, but the Americans did not have synthetic materials.

The Germans have obtained some synthetic material technology, such as rubber synthesis technology, but their technology is backward compared with that used by China. The rubber synthesis technology that China gave Germany is outdated in China. Although the quality of the synthetic rubber is almost the same as that of natural rubber, it is still The cost is higher.

Moreover, when China handed over this technology to Germany, it was handed over to Yuanhua Group for production, and it did not directly give the technology to the Germans.

The advent of the war also caused China's production of synthetic materials to skyrocket.

Producing these synthetic materials is much simpler than producing steel, and they can be put into production quickly as long as there is demand.

"Now the consortium's laboratories are researching new products of these synthetic materials every day. The number of plastic products is the largest. Textile factories are also ordering blending equipment. Synthetic rubber is also widely used in industry and automobile manufacturing, and it has begun to be exported. In each country, this year, the output of plastics can increase to 500 million tons, the output of synthetic fibers can increase to 200 million tons, and the output of synthetic rubber can increase to 30 tons."

The managers responsible for the production of synthetic materials reported the construction plan to Jiang Yu.

Regardless of whether it is plastic, synthetic fiber, or synthetic rubber, these are all emerging industries, and they are all within the scope of consortium monopoly. Therefore, the output can be accurately predicted at any time, because the factory is built according to that standard.

"Well! Give this material to the Commodity Research Institute." Jiang Yu said and took out a stack of materials. These materials are new products that can be developed by plastics and synthetic fibers.

There are so many plastic and fiber products in the future, Jiang Yu naturally hopes to research these products as soon as possible, so that these Chinese products can occupy overseas markets earlier.

With more overseas markets, the common people will naturally become richer.

After all, it would be a good deal if something produced in one day could be exchanged for something produced in other countries in two or even ten days.

At that time, China will import as much as it can export.

In this way, the Chinese people will get better and better no matter what they eat, use, or live in.

It is actually relatively stupid to store foreign exchange.

This year, no one is forcing China to do something, China produces, and the United States consumes.The Chinese can consume as much as they export.

Moreover, foreign capital is almost wiped out in China now, and there is no need for part of the Chinese people's money to be taken away by foreign capital.

As long as the export of high-end commodities and ordinary commodities with high production efficiency is done well, China will become richer and richer.

Naturally, these synthetic materials will not be exported directly, but processed into higher value-added commodities, such as stockings and ropes, which can be made from synthetic fibers.

Other fibers also have their uses.

Synthetic rubber can be applied to various industrial fields. The demand for rubber in the industrial field is actually very high. Many industries cannot develop, which is largely hindered by rubber output.

The current global natural rubber production is still relatively low. There are too many cars, and there is not enough rubber to make tires. China has synthetic rubber technology, so naturally there is no such restriction.
