Chapter 391 Competition
The New Year is a time of hope. The streets and alleys are full of festive Spring Festival couplets, big lanterns, and children running around the streets in new clothes and trousers, all of which show that the country is slowly on the right track.
Li Mo also had a happy New Year. The successive pregnancy of Fang Xianqi and Luo Sanniang indicates that the royal family is much more prosperous. Although the wedding for Thomas and Cindy was not announced to the public, many officials at all levels in Xinhua, including the Prime Minister, and George, were also invited to attend. Thomas was very proud of the celebration with so many heavyweights participating.
Although I don't know how much the words of that day affected Thomas, this guy provided himself with a list on the first day after the wedding, which not only lists many Jewish chaebols in the world today, but also covers the current excellent Jewish talents in various countries.
There is no doubt that I guessed it correctly. As a top elite, the Zionist Group did have contact with Thomas, otherwise it would not have quickly come up with such a list. How important it is for those who hide in the dark of the world to get the support of a national emperor who is destined to rise!
Looking at this valuable list, Li Mo also thought for a long time. No one is a fool, let alone a Jew. Their willingness to provide the list itself shows that they must pay a certain price!
The price is very simple, that is, what they can't get in other countries.Force!
After weighing for a long time and secretly discussing with Li Enfu, Chen Ping, Rong Kui and others for a long time, he finally agreed to help the Zionist Group train officers, because he knew that with the recovery of Tibet, Xinhua had actually been involved in a competition, a competition with time and the world!
Therefore, the Chinese nation, which is too far behind, can no longer catch up by self-reliance and hard work alone. It must speed up the pursuit of the great powers through some special means and narrow the gap with the world.
This news inspired the Zionist Group. As the first 500 Jewish young people quietly arrived in Xinhua from all over the world and secretly joined the Xinhua Army, thousands of Jewish scientists and outstanding students also came to Xinhua in the name of visiting or studying abroad. They began to gradually enter Xinhua's domestic universities. Either become teachers or receive education here, their arrival makes up for the biggest drawback of Xinhua's weak faculty.
And those scientists were also absorbed by the Academy of Sciences immediately after their arrival and gradually disappeared from people's vision under the cover of the powerful intelligence department and the newly formed Homeland Security Agency and the military.
The arrival of so many talents made Li Mo excited and happy. At the same time, he also began to think about whether it was worth it. It was worth using Jews to counterbalance the Islamic world, but would it make the planned Islamic world's hatred for Xinhua? In particular, he coveted the black gold under the land, otherwise he would not have bought a new battleship for Osman at half price.
After the Saudi family was dormant for a hundred years, it finally made efforts to occupy Riyadh not long ago. Relying on a large number of weapons in exchange, Li Mo not only won the favor of the Saudi family, but also took the opportunity to send a large number of surveyors to start looking for oil, but he did not plan to exploit it immediately, mainly because it was too far away. Before entering the Indian Ocean, he did not plan to do it on a large scale except for the oil wells deliberately slowed down by Kuwait and Huanya Oil Company, because it would attract the attention of Europe.
But will it affect his big oil plan after supporting the Zionist Group now? It's not a good idea to be hated by Islam as a whole!
But when a character appeared, all the things that troubled and tormented him disappeared. Mr. Einstein, who had just graduated in Switzerland, arrived in Shanghai and accepted the temporary job offered by Li Mo as a Tesla assistant!
Seducing another genius with one genius, the ideological resonance made the two quickly become friends, and his arrival also made the Xinhua Science and Technology Department suddenly climb to the top of the world, because the world can no longer find outstanding people like the two of them!
Perhaps their research has not yet provided substantial help to the current Xinhua, but their value is not in the present, but in the future! Since the two met and started working, Xinhua has mastered half of the future!
However, what surprised Thomas was that Li Mo almost excluded all the long economic figures on the list, which made him very puzzled. You know that Xinhua was not rich, but that the funds were overstretched, but why did Li Mo look at the huge funds indifferent?
Only when he knew that he found Li Enfu later did he understand that Li Mo didn't need money. On the contrary, he couldn't wait for the gold in the world to be Xinhua, but the problem was that he didn't dare to ask for that money!
Jewish rich people are rich and even swept the world, but the problem is that Xinhua's current domestic capital market is too small. A few months ago, Liang Dunyan picked up the Shanghai stock market. The small scale even respected Li Mo, because he knew that if he invested a little bit, it would be the consequence of the disaster. .
Xinhua's national industry has just emerged. Stimulated by the small loans of more than a dozen banks and the Ministry of Finance, various factories and workshops have sprung up, especially the light industry represented by the textile industry, which has been actively pursued by the Ministry of Finance and businessmen, but the problem is that Xinhua's largest textile group is also It was built by the rich Chinese businessmen in Honolulu who came back with Li Mo. They are rich, but only in China, if they put it in the huge international capital market, they can't even get blisters.
In the case that the national industry is still very weak, it is definitely impossible to let those tigers in. Even Li Mo is reluctant to intervene in the light industry, because once he intervenes, the amount of funds under Li Xiufeng's control may immediately crush the livelihood of many people.
So he only invests in heavy industries that are time-consuming and labor-consuming, with long cycles, slow results and need countless funds to fill in. Light industries have their own development laws. Mutual annexation and a large population base have provided good opportunities, but it takes time! If the Jewish group is allowed to enter the market at this time, it is unrealistic and impossible to stop so many wolves with his personal strength.
Another more important reason is that the family history of Jews is too greedy. These guys who first started by usury most like to do when they have money are to buy all kinds of resources, and then sell these resources to the countries that have these resources, which is equivalent to selling the things from other people's families. The family itself is completely empty-gloved white wolf, which is the opposite of Li Mo!
Protecting domestic resources and making reasonable use of them are Li Mo's greatest wish, so his biggest interest is to encircle land abroad and use other people's resources to enrich himself first. He doesn't want Xinhua to be restrained by later generations.
In the case of contradictory ideas and no means of containment and restraint, Li Mocai finally stopped the impulse to bring those funds back with great self-control. Instead, Liang Dunyan focused on strengthening the management of domestic funds, especially completely restricting foreign countries and even joint ventures. The company's open resource investment is a key project.
After understanding Li Mo's concerns, Thomas began to take another path, that is, to provide low-interest loans to Xinhua, and also persuaded the U.S. Congress through Morgan and others to approve Xinhua's plan to issue $200 million of treasury bonds in the United States.
In the eyes of outsiders, the super-rich who has changed from a resource tycoon to a financial tycoon is still greedy. He not only takes the initiative to underwrite Xinhua's treasury bonds, but also stares at Xinhua's weak financial system. However, in fact, these treasury bonds have turned into a clear spring under the operation of the Bank of America, which belongs to Li Mo, alleviating domestic construction. Set up a situation of tight funds.
For Li Mo, the cooperation with the Zionist Group has made a good start and has benefited a lot from the present, but he is not sure what the future will be, so he called the core members including Li Enfu, Chen Ping, Liang Dunyan and Duan Fei for the first time and held a high-secret meeting. The content of the meeting was unknown. However, it can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security suddenly strengthened the monitoring of famous Jewish activists and businessmen around the world.
There is only one way to solve this worry, that is, the growth of Xinhua itself. Only when the dragon really sings and soars above the nine heavens, it will be unfettered.
After the issuance of five-year treasury bonds with a total of 400 million blue coins in Italy, Germany and the United States, the financial pressure of the Prime Minister's Office can finally be relieved. The funds are guaranteed, and the acceleration of the road of industrialization is inevitable. The expansion of heavy industry in the south and the industrial grand plan of the northwest are also steadily advancing. The most critical traffic is in three. Millions of construction soldiers and millions of craftsmen recruited from China are moving forward like a bull!
The railway construction in this era is not as detailed as that of future generations. We should pay attention to environmental protection, farmland and so on. Because the tide of urbanization is only emerging these days, design and surveyors should be more difficult to construct, minimize farmland and take care of economically underdeveloped areas and resource areas as much as possible. .
So railway construction can only be described as drilling holes in the mountains and building bridges in the water.
Li Mo did not interfere with this kind of construction with a barbaric surname, nor did he stop the wasteful behavior of those bastards carrying tons of explosives, because compared with the benefits brought by the construction, this kind of destruction is insignificant, not to mention that he still has the only synthetic ammonia factory in the world, so civilian explosives are not asked at all. Question.
They are not stopped because of the prosperous construction**, which has greatly promoted related industries. Taking cement as an example, although the ordinary model technology is not complicated, there are only two large cement factories that need to be imported when they first entered the northeast, but they have developed to more than a dozen in just three years, and the lowest annual output of private factories is also 50,000 tons. .
At the beginning, even Li Mo did not believe this number. Although the technology of ordinary cement is not complicated, it requires a lot of equipment and investment. Some of them have not even been successfully imitated, but he really underestimated the ability of the workers to do local operations. The experts of the Ministry of Equipment and Security abruptly took out one. The recommended cement processing method similar to that of burning bricks reduces the dependence on large machinery.
As a result, he was stunned. Fortunately, there are no dozens of high-rise buildings these days. Otherwise, he would not use this kind of primitive cement, but he had to admit that his thinking inevitably fell into the misunderstanding of modern industrial concepts and completely forgot. This is an era of great power.
With the continuous extension of the railway, small towns began to appear along the railway, which greatly promoted the local economic development. However, another trouble also appeared. Xinhua's own locomotive manufacturing factory is still in low-speed production, which is seriously lagging behind the speed of rail laying and opening.
This is not caused by the lack of resources and manpower. It is still a processing problem. Although it has long been imitating the front of the locomotive and has also made a breakthrough, the problem is that the processing capacity does not meet the requirements. In order to ensure quality, the annual output is only a few. According to Tang Xiao, his current workers are all novices. Most of the skilled workers trained in the past have been taken away by the three major heavy industry groups. If they only build carriages, they can still be reluctant, but if they want to quickly expand their production capacity, even if they shoot him, they really can't do anything. It will take at least three years to catch up. The speed of railway expansion.
Domestic capacity cannot be reached, and only external procurement is left. Fortunately, this is the last tail of free trade. Even the British political axe can't control domestic manufacturers to sell locomotives to Xinhua, not to mention the more looser United States, so the Prime Minister's Office finally has to deal with it by purchasing bulk parts and assembling in China, but Instead of stopping the purchase of domestic locomotives, orders have been increased.
Just as Xinhua accelerated its domestic construction, Nicholas II was not idle. Since Li Mo had already stared on Siberia, he recruited 100,000 people again to learn from Li Mo's advantages in the sea of people to accelerate the construction of the Siberian Railway.
For this northeast artery, everyone including Chen Ping suggested blowing up or destroying it, delaying the construction speed, but Li Mo did not adopt it, and even scolded these guys who wanted to destroy it.
"If we don't allow the Russians to repair it, do we have to pay for it ourselves and invest a huge investment in the vast cold land of Siberia?"
Dare that Master Li fell in love with this railway and was ready to occupy it. Everyone sighed that the emperor was still powerful. If such a major artery was repaired by himself, not to mention how much it would cost, at least it could not be done in five or six years. It would be better to let the Russians use it directly after repairing it. Although the system is different, it is cheaper than building. It saves a lot of time. When Eastern Siberia is recovered in the future, the railway will be connected to the domestic railway network, and the Siberian development problem will be solved in half.
With the deliberate or unintentional railway construction competition between Xinhua and Russia, the haze over Siberia and the Far East began to gradually surge, especially when Britain announced the end of the war in South Africa, and Europe's eyes turned to the Far East again after nearly two years of calm.
