The first update!A chapter of [-] words, and one more!

In 1916, the price of strategic materials was extremely unstable. Since the beginning of the year, the international supply of rubber has decreased sharply, causing the price to increase wildly.

Especially for Britain, France, and the United States, they found that rubber reserves were already very dangerous, while rubber supplies were dwindling.

These countries do not have synthetic rubber technology, and their industries such as automobile manufacturing rely entirely on natural rubber. [

"Damn it, the Chinese already control a lot of rubber plantations, and they don't even control any fewer rubber plantations than we do in America."

The Morgan Consortium of the United States could not help complaining.

Those rubber plantations were bought by Jiang Yu when the global rubber stock market crashed. At that time, Jiang Yu knew that if the price was very low, he would not be able to buy the Rothschild consortium and the American International Consortium. We started to buy those rubber plantations.

At the beginning, Jiang Yu’s move enabled him to acquire nearly half of the rubber companies in the world that have been put into production or are about to go into production. At the beginning, he only held shares in these rubber companies. With the increase of funds over the years, the shares of these rubber companies have gradually been lost. His control has become an absolute controlling degree.

When it comes to absolute control, the other shareholders will stand aside and have no say in who will sell the rubber in the rubber plantation.

This year, Jiangyu's oligarchic consortium began to make waves in the international market, and the first thing they hyped was the price of rubber.

China not only has synthetic rubber, but also controls nearly half of the world's rubber plantations that are in production. Coupled with the rapid development of the US automobile manufacturing industry at this time, the demand for rubber has indeed increased greatly.

But the output is only so small, and China directly raises the price of rubber.

The price of rubber has been nearly five times higher than in 1915, when the price of rubber was in 1915.It has been driven up by the price of the war, so the price of this rubber is simply sky-high.

In the past few months, Chinese rubber people were interested in these sky-high prices. However, when the rubber reserves of the Allies and the United States gradually ran out, they had to start buying Chinese rubber at sky-high prices.

In China, however, the price of rubber is very cheap, but the export tariff on rubber is frighteningly high.

For the consortium, raising the international price of the raw materials that they have control over the pricing power is equivalent to saying that the profit that can only be obtained by selling 5 shares of raw materials is now selling 1 share more than selling 5 shares, so the saved 4 shares raw materials.It can be supplied to the domestic market cheaply, provided that the production enthusiasm of this raw material is not discouraged.

In this way, first of all, related industries in other countries will increase the cost burden.The related industries in China have reduced the cost burden.

Under the soaring price of rubber, the price of international automobiles has also been continuously raised.

Only the prices of automobiles and related rubber products in China have maintained a stable situation. In fact, these industries are controlled by the consortium itself.

In this way, the production cost of the consortium itself is reduced.It is tantamount to this rubber price hype, just passing the cost on to the Allies and the United States.

Especially the United States.

The U.S. auto manufacturing industry is developing very fast. Of course, the U.S. auto manufacturing industry is mainly family cars produced by Ford factories.

In contrast, China's automobile manufacturing industry focuses on the production of transport trucks. The production scale of trucks is already the largest in the world, and the production scale of family cars is not as large as that of the United States.Because there is not enough steel in China, how can I have spare time to produce family cars. [

The high cost of rubber has indeed restricted the development of some industries in the United States.

At the same time, Jiang Yu's oligarch consortium also made a fortune.For this reason, the Allies and the United States can only pay the price.

"After the sky-high price of rubber, we can still produce sky-high prices of raw silk and sky-high soybeans. These are raw materials that China currently monopolizes."

The planning department of the consortium quickly came up with some hype projects based on the resources in the consortium's hands.

Today, China monopolizes the international supply of raw silk, and the revolutionary government of Kyushu Island in Japan is under the control of China.And signed a treaty with China to become a vassal state of China.

In addition, the scale of raw silk in China has surpassed that of Japan, so more than 95% of the raw silk in the international market is supplied by China.

Raw silk has industrial applications.At the same time, in terms of luxury goods, it is mainly silk, and China's own demand for silk is increasing.

Westerners are far less industrious than Easterners. Easterners think of getting rich through hard work, while Westerners feel that getting rich through hard work is too slow. Wouldn’t it be faster to grab it?

Therefore, after the emergence of raw silk at the same price, it is impossible for Westerners to develop their own raw silk industry so quickly. Even if it develops, China can restore the original raw silk price and then attack their raw silk industry.

This is a roller coaster model. When a consortium controls the pricing power of a certain commodity, it can use this roller coaster model to attack its opponents.

Those small industries that have just developed cannot withstand the toss of the roller coaster model.

This year I saw that this thing is easy to sell, so I will plant it next year, but next year the price will drop very badly, and the money invested in it will not be recovered, and those people will naturally be shaken, so the things that have been planted will be cut off. Go to plant something else.

The consortium controls the pricing power, and the money I earned last year can be used to amortize the loss from low-price sales this year. In two years, I still make money.

Soybean pricing power is currently in the hands of China, and soybeans in the international market are basically exported from Northeast China.

There are no American soybeans these days. The Yankees only learned how to extract oil from soybeans a few years ago, and the technology was stolen from China.

Soybeans in Northeast China account for more than 90% of the world's soybean production, while commercial soybeans are basically monopolized by China.

The consortium has started building a soybean food processing base in Northeast China, which has developed a variety of soybean foods.

There are soy milk, soybean oil, and soybean meal as low as protein powder, and all kinds of soy foods are directly packaged and sold to countries all over the world.

The added value after processing is different, that is not the profit of soybean planting.

And China uses these renewable commodities to exchange those non-renewable resources such as iron ore and rare earth.

Moreover, the production efficiency of soybeans is also very high. Northeast soybeans are produced by mechanization, and the production that can be completed by one person is exchanged for raw materials that require ten or even dozens of people in other countries to mine.It is equivalent to saying that China discards most of those low-efficiency production industries, and then allows other countries to engage in these low-efficiency production, so that China can exploit the labor force of all countries in the world.

In this way, China will naturally become rich. [

After getting rich, China can spend more money on scientific research and build infrastructure.

In all parts of the world, Chinese businessmen are hoarding supplies and buying exotic goods to live in. Most of them can be found in Jiangyu's oligarch consortium, and at the same time, a group of ethnic capital businessmen are cooperating.

Since the First World War greatly increased the capital of Jiangyu's warlord oligarch consortia and Chinese ethnic businessmen, China's capital power has become stronger.

The hunting of capital also started.

When there is a lot of money.You can operate on some things and engage in huge profits.

At this time, American capital was affected by Germany's restrictions on submarine warfare, and there was no rapid development.At the same time, American capital is relatively weak in Asia, which is now dominated by Chinese capital.

In India and Australia, capital operations carried out by Chinese capital can be seen everywhere.

British capital seldom did this before, because the previous British capital was mainly based on usury.When British capital discovered that they could easily use that simple model to obtain profits, they began to ignore the construction of Britain's own industry, and some British industries that could have been developed had their capital invested in Germany and became the enemy's industry. Development momentum.

Chinese capital does not simply lend usury to make money like the UK, so it can only carry out more complicated market operations to grab benefits.

The benefits of this more complex market operation are not low.It just requires more brains and precise planning.

For the Chinese, the most indispensable thing is the brain.

If you can make money by using your brain.No matter which Chinese businessman is willing to use their brains.

In terms of industry, Jiangyu's consortium of warlords and oligarchs has many advantages. First of all, China has a huge domestic market and has a huge internal buffer like the United States.

And under the strict protection of strict tariffs, various national industries have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

At the same time, Chinese industry learns from Germany's high-end export model.It is actively engaged in precision processing and manufacturing, and hopes that one day it will be able to export a large number of mechanical equipment like Germany.

In terms of capital, it is different from the unskilled capital expansion of the United Kingdom.It is a complex and sophisticated market operation.

Generally speaking, China is a rising star among industrial countries, but the earlier it develops, the better it is.

Just like the United Kingdom, when the United Kingdom found that capital could easily grab profits, it would ignore its own industrial upgrading. Why upgrade when it has money to earn?

However, if other countries, such as Germany and the United States, want to rise, they must rely on technology to compete for the market.

When China rises, there will be markets in the world that have no technology like the United Kingdom, and countries like Germany and the United States that rely on technology and protect themselves with their own tariffs.

Then it needs to rely on technology even more so that it can develop.

At the same time, we must actively develop emerging industries and let emerging industries go ahead of other countries, so that we can make money, and only when we make money can we rise up.

At this time, China's emerging industries are suspected to be the largest in the world, and most of the emerging industries are also the largest in scale, while traditional industrial technologies also adopt a large number of advanced technologies.

At this time, the United States did not start to upgrade the industrial chain because of the money to make, and the equipment in a large number of factories was still a product of the first industrial revolution.

Although it was in the late period of the first industrial revolution, it was more advanced than Britain, but it was lagging behind Germany, and it was even more lagging behind China.

Early industrial development is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Countries that develop industries later have both disadvantages and advantages.

It depends on how each of them shows their magical powers.

China needs technology to rise, and at this time China is the most lacking in technology. After all, Jiang Yu has opened up plug-ins, and the concepts of various technologies have been proposed continuously. All are busy conducting continuous research according to the routes proposed by Jiang Yu.

Research efficiency is greatly improved.

And there will be no such phenomenon that the money is invested but the particles are collected.

For example, during World War II, Germany launched a research project to extract gold from seawater, but the result was a waste of money, and gold was extracted.However, before the study started, the gold content in the seawater was wrongly estimated. As a result, even a little gold could not be recovered.

At this time, it is obviously impossible for China to make such a major mistake in research projects. Even if there are similar mistakes, it is only a small project, and Jiang Yu will not allocate much money to those projects that he has never heard of.

First of all, China's military technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and one military technology after another has been continuously developed. This kind of research and development is purposeful research and development.

Unlike other countries, who don't know about radar, they don't know anything about research, and it took a long time to find the route first.At the same time, I also paid a lot of tuition fees.

China has a clear purpose and direction in the research and development of military technology, basically there is no tuition fee, and a large number of resources are concentrated to overcome a certain technology.It didn't take much time to find the route.

In this way, not only the efficiency is improved, but also the good steel is used wisely in terms of resource utilization.

Materials research is also the country with the greatest efforts. Engine materials, high-temperature-resistant materials, fuselage materials, and even semiconductor materials have begun to be studied.

China is not only vigorously studying the second industrial revolution stuff.Still working on the third industrial revolution stuff.

For example, atomic energy, that is, atoms. In this regard, China has secretly established a research institute in Northwest China. Even the central government does not know the existence of this research project.

Although there are many people involved in this research project, its model is very simple. People at the upper level tell the next level what to do.The next level tells the next level what to do.

Every level does not know that what is being studied is an atom. Only the people at the highest level and the core scientists in the research institute know what they are studying.

In the entire consortium, only Jiang Yu knew what the research institute was researching.The people below have no idea what the research institute does, or even the existence of the institute.

The simpler things are, the more confidential they are.

After all, it is impossible for the people at the lower level to know about the affairs of the people at the upper level. After going down from level to level, there will be too many people.But don't know what the big picture is.

This is why the United States did not leak information when studying atoms in history.

China has also begun research on electronic computers. In 1916, the first electronic computer was built, which was a behemoth composed of electronic tubes.

This thing is bulky, slow, and power-hungry.

The practical performance is relatively poor, but this kind of thing has appeared after all.According to Taoism, when something appears, it will inevitably spread like a dike.

This is why the social crime rate began to rise after the popularization of television.

When a person sees the plot of robbing a bank wearing stockings on TV, this makes him have that kind of consciousness in his mind, and also adds a kind of variable.

China is continuing to conduct in-depth research on computers, and this kind of in-depth research has been completely at the forefront of the world.

These technologies are not used for commercial purposes as soon as they are researched, but are stored as military technology. When you use a military technology, other countries will inevitably get ideas, and they will start researching it immediately, and will eventually be quickly adopted. catch up.

Therefore, those military technologies will not be used until a full-scale war breaks out.

China in the future will surely get rich rewards from these technologies.

This year, China's railway construction was faster than in 15. Nearly [-] kilometers of railways were built throughout the year, and the total length of China's railways has reached [-] kilometers.

This year also because of the overhaul of the railway, a large amount of steel was imported from the United States.

With the completion of these railways, China's steel production began to increase rapidly, and by the end of the year there had been 1000 million tons of steel production.

And the railway is also enough, providing the basic conditions for the large increase in steel production in 17.

The war against the United States to compete for the Philippines is almost ready, and the United States is increasingly inclined to declare war on the allies due to restrictions on submarine warfare.

It's just that the United States is still worried about China, because China is now continuously exporting materials to its allies.

Since the failure of the Battle of the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Allied Powers had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​cutting off Turkey's connection with Germany, and China could not offend them.

China launched 1916 million tons of merchant ships in 100, sold half of these merchant ships to Britain, and kept half for its own use.

The tonnage of China's merchant ships has risen to 160 million tons. Most of these merchant ships are used to transport combat materials to the allies. A large amount of combat materials produced in China are transported to Kuwait by merchant ships, and then traded with the allies on land.

The number of China's giant bird transport aircraft reached 400 at the end of the year, and it can transport 4000 tons of materials to the allies every day. Although the transportation cost is relatively high, China still enjoys building transport aircraft.

The so-called cost refers to the problem of fuel oil. China does not lack oil, and the production cost of fuel oil is actually relatively low.

Although the daily transportation volume of these transport aircraft is much lower than that of merchant ships, they can also transport about 140 million tons of materials in a year.

Most of China's merchant ships are 200-ton merchant ships, and the total number is only more than 20. It takes about 8 days for a container ship to travel from China to the Arabian Peninsula. Including the port detention time, it is no problem to go back and forth [-] times a year.

A 500-ton Chinese annual container ship can hold 175 containers, each container has a gross weight of 8500 tons, and each ship can transport [-] tons of goods.

A 68-ton merchant ship can transport [-] tons of materials to Kuwait a year.

Among China's 160 million tons of merchant ships, there are also small ships and non-container cargo ships. Based on the calculation of 130 884-ton merchant ships, they can transport [-] million tons of materials to the Arabian Peninsula a year.

In general, this year, China formed the transportation capacity to export 1000 million tons of materials to the allies every year.
