The East China Autonomous Government borrowed a loan equivalent to 150.9 billion yuan in a short period of time. With the previous 1.3 billion yuan loan, the total debt of the East China Autonomous Government and the East China Group has reached 280.9 billion yuan in Fuxing coins.

Such crazy debt borrowing has indeed caused heated discussions among people.

People even think that the chairman is too young and is very reckless in his work. This kind of remark is not very big in the newspaper industry of the three autonomous provinces of East China, but it is very big outside the three autonomous provinces of East China.

The warlords in various provinces in China felt a little scared about the three East China Autonomous provinces borrowing so much foreign debt, and even Yuan Shikai felt fear.

However, the stronger the East China Autonomous Government is, Yuan Shikai can only win over the East China Autonomous Government with greater efforts.

However, such large-scale loans as the East China Autonomous Government were indeed regarded as a very dangerous potential threat by the Chinese warlords. In public opinion, in addition to the three East China Autonomous Provinces, there was a tide of criticizing Xia Jun from the outside. Some of them criticized him for being reckless, and even more, some of them criticized him for selling his country.

Li Shiqing and Tana looked at the newspapers with interest. When they saw some of the wonderfully criticized newspapers, they would read them to Xia Jun. Xia Jun said indifferently: "These guys were probably scared, otherwise how could they have such a big reaction."

Of course, for those forces that are hostile to the three autonomous provinces of East China, Xia Jun naturally cannot let them continue to cause trouble in the public opinion circle, and immediately notify the newspapers of the three autonomous provinces of East China to fight back.

At this time, the newspapers in the three autonomous provinces of East China were basically controlled by Xia Jun, and even "Shen Bao" no longer found any fault. Regarding this large loan, he just complained that Xia Jun was too reckless and mortgaged the entire East China Group to bet.

The newspapers of the three East China Autonomous Provinces have spontaneously begun to counterattack and slander their chairman, which is really devastating.

Xia Jun already has plans for how to use these huge sums of money.

Xia Jun plans to use one-third to build domestic infrastructure. Although the infrastructure of the three provinces of Huayou Autonomous has begun to be built, transportation with other provinces is still a problem.

China is a huge source of raw materials, but without transportation, these raw materials cannot be transported to the three autonomous provinces of East China.

If there is transportation, then after the war breaks out, Xia Jun can transport raw materials from other provinces to process them into goods and sell them.

Take one-third to continue to strengthen the shipbuilding industry and use it to build merchant ships.

The remaining third continues to strengthen the military industry.

Xia Jun issued these tasks, and the departments below began to take action and began to look for what they wanted to buy. Wang Chengyi, who had just stopped for a while, began to contact shipyards in various countries again.

Wang Chengyi is famous internationally. When he said he wanted to buy a shipyard, the shipyards of various countries sent personnel to solicit business.

The shipyard wants to sell outdated docks, or make a profit by reselling advanced docks, while the shipyard manufacturer wants to recruit this business. Baidu Tieba Xiaoyi plays the game

However, Wang Chengyi basically does not buy docks from the dock manufacturing plant, because it takes time to build a dock. The chairman instructed him to not allow docks that cannot arrive by the end of next year.

Just kidding, World War I broke out in 1914, and the shipbuilding industry of each country was not enough, so the docks must have been detained at that time.

Therefore, all goods that cannot be arrived before the end of 1913 were cut off.

Moreover, this time Wang Chengyi mainly bought docks from the United States and the United Kingdom. Xia Jun was more willing to buy them for the United States' business competitors in this battle.

If they buy one of the Americans' docks, they will make less money in the silk war.

At the same time, Xia Jun also placed the main goal of buying military industry on the United States. The United States did not impose restrictions on the East China Autonomous Government in the military industry.

First of all, the United States in this year is not too powerful in military industry, and there are not many restrictive military technology. The East China Autonomous Government only purchases basic military industry.

Shipyards in Mawei, Xiamen, Ningde and Hangzhou also received a lot of orders with the arrival of loans. East China Ocean Shipping Transportation Company and East China Offshore Transportation Company are ordering a large number of merchant ships. Shipyards hire foreign shipbuilders with high salaries for this purpose, and at the same time vigorously cultivate their own shipbuilding technicians.

East China Transportation Manufacturing Company also used the loan to introduce two truck production lines. Xia Jun gave the truck produced by East China Transportation Manufacturing Company a cool name... Dongfeng Heavy Truck.

These trucks use engines that are made by themselves, so it doesn’t cost much to introduce production lines. Moreover, due to the advanced engines, Dongfeng Heavy Truck is much more advanced than trucks built by other countries.

In the steel industry, the steel industry in the three autonomous provinces of East China has also developed very rapidly. Due to the shipbuilding industry, railway construction, and other industries that require the use of steel, the production capacity of East China Steel Company has soared to an annual output of 500,000 tons of steel. Although it is extremely pitiful compared to the United States, it surpasses Japan.

Japan's steel production was still very small at this time. What really made Japan's industry develop was the First World War and the subsequent militarist system.

In addition to East China Steel Company, private enterprises have also opened more than a dozen steel plants. The scale of these steel plants is generally not too large, but the smelting equipment is relatively advanced.

Within the three East China Autonomous Provinces, about 500 mine sites have begun to be mined. After a long period of research, these mine sites can be mined without destroying groundwater.

If you are abroad, such as East China Mining Company, you can dig whatever you want, and it is a pity to waste resources. However, mining coal in China requires a very detailed study for a period of time.

For example, a certain mine site is accompanied by several types of minerals. The mining company must have the ability to utilize these minerals and cannot waste these associated mines. At the same time, it must also consider whether the factors that damage the water below, whether it will pollute the environment, and whether mining companies can ensure the safety of miners.

However, the administrative department is relatively efficient and has not been able to take too long. However, under the restrictions of various policies, the mining industry within the three East China Autonomous Provinces has not developed rapidly, and the main raw materials are still imported from overseas.

The progress of East China Mining Company is much faster. The mines in the Philippines, the chromium mines in South Africa, the copper mines in Australia and the large iron mines in the west are being excavated one after another, and raw materials are being continuously transported back to China.

In terms of railway construction, the railways in the three eastern autonomous provinces are basically built by every county in the railway branch line. At the same time, the Ministry of Construction has set up a railway trunk line to Jiangsu and several branch lines.

The iron ore production areas in East China are mainly mines such as Aoshan, Nanshan, Gushan, Taochong, Meishan, Fenghuangshan, etc. from Wuhu, Anhui Province to Nanjing, Jiangsu.

The iron ore in Wuning mining area is mainly hematite, followed by magnetite, and some sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite and pyrite. The iron ore is of high grade... Some rich ores (including 50%-60%) can be directly smelted into the furnace, and some poor ore must be selected by ore dressing and sintered and blocked for use in blast furnaces. The ore has good reduction properties. The gangue minerals are quartz, calcite, apatite and rutile, etc. The ore contains s and p impurities (generally 0.5%, up to 1.6%, and Meishan iron ore can contain s and s as an average of 2%-3%), and the ore has a certain solvent property (such as the average alkalinity in rich ores in Aoshan and Meishan can reach 0.7%-0.9%), and some ores contain nonferrous metals such as v, ti and cu.

The railway branch line in Jiangsu is built around the Wuning mining area. Although Xia Jun bought a large amount of iron ore overseas, there must be internal iron ore mining, otherwise it will be easy to be hit.

However, in internal iron ore mining, construction does not necessarily mean that large amounts of mining are needed.

If the market is good, for example, during World War I, you can naturally mine more. If the market is bad, it is naturally cost-effective to mine overseas iron ore.

China's iron ore are all poor mines. Judging from the current smelting technology, mining these iron ores does not make much profit. It is better to dig out the iron ore from other countries first.

With the explosive development of various industries, the time is October and the autumn harvest begins.

This autumn harvest is the real bumper harvest. The yield of sugarcane and cotton is very large, the corn production basket is very huge, and the rice is not accumulated much, but the grain is enough to eat within the three East China Autonomous Provinces until next autumn.

The harvest of 13 million mu of sugarcane is relatively large. Although the management of sugarcane grown in many areas is not very good, the yield is generally 2 tons, and the sugar content is basically maintained at 18%. On average, 1.5 to 1.6 tons of sugarcane can be squeezed out per mu of sugarcane.

After calculation of the sugarcane output in the three autonomous provinces of East China, it reached an astonishing 19.5 million tons. At the price of 35 yuan per ton, the output value reached 6.8 billion yuan.

Cotton is more powerful. The planting area of ​​18.5 million mu has an average yield of 370 kilograms and a total output of 6.845 million tons. Calculated at 150 yuan per ton of cotton, it has an output value of more than 1 billion yuan.

In the past, China had to import 150,000 tons of cotton yarn, 100,000 tons of cotton, and 100 million yuan of cotton cloth from abroad every year, and the Chinese cotton digested by foreign textile factories was even more unknown.

In addition, the corn planting has expanded to 20 million mu. During the autumn harvest, 15 million tons of corn kernels and 15 million tons of silage were harvested.

Soybeans also herded 1.8 million tons.

Xia Jun, who was rich and powerful, ate these corn and soybeans directly at low prices. The purchase price of these corn and soybeans is very cheap, but the problem is that the production cost is lower.

At present, corn is not too many merchants needing soybeans. The biggest merchants needing are Xia Jun’s East China Group, Zhongsheng and Huasheng Group. These three groups control the intensive breeding industry.

Therefore, no one can eat so much feed.

The price is naturally formulated by Xia Jun and Zhongsheng and Huasheng Group. Therefore, the purchase prices of corn and soybeans this year are relatively low, but those landlords made a little profit, but they were really very small.

Corn and soybeans are both in the mechanized farming area, so the production cost is also very low.

These corn and soybeans were stored by Xia Jun. Whoever wanted to buy them the original price and sell them to them, and then according to the consumption rate, calculate how much corn and soybeans would need to be planted next year to be sufficient for the consumption of the breeding industry.

The landlords who had no money to make money in autumn started to turn their attention to the breeding industry.

Feed is so cheap, you can earn anything you raise.

Moreover, by developing the breeding industry, you can borrow from East China Bank and Chinese Commercial Bank. Even if you cannot buy beef cattle and other varieties promoted by the government, raising ordinary varieties will also have huge profits.

The agricultural investment boom has gradually formed.

There is nothing more safer than investing in agriculture in the three autonomous provinces of East China. Of course, investing in industry is also a good choice, but the goal of agriculture is not as clear as that.

The most profitable thing in agriculture is to set up agricultural reclamation companies and breeding farms. If you don’t run an agricultural reclamation company or a breeding farm, growing fruits is also a good choice. Landlords in mountainous areas generally choose to plant fruits or mushrooms, fungus and other fungi projects.

For a bumper harvest in agriculture, six agricultural reclamation companies jointly organized a celebration dinner.

This autumn harvest has made them a lot. Needless to say, the sugar-squeezing industry is definitely going to be popular this year, let alone the Fang Weaving Industry. The cotton price of the Agricultural Reclamation Company is one-third lower than that in the market. Each weaving factory works overtime and three shifts to produce, and even the holidays every week have been cancelled.

During the celebration, senior executives of various agricultural reclamation companies gathered together in groups of three or three to talk, obviously planning next year's actions. After a while, Xia Jun brought Li Shifu, and Xia Jun, the leader of the alliance, came, and the banquet started.

"Chairman, this year we have a lot of cotton, and foreigners' foreign cloth will soon be out of China." Liu Jinshan said to Xia Jun happily.

"It is not enough to just roll out of China. Next year we will continue to expand the cotton planting area. We will let China's weaving industry occupy the entire international market." Xia Jun said to the people present.

"What the Chairman said is very true."

"Chairman, how should we plan next year?" The agricultural reclamation companies present are very concerned about agricultural planning issues, which directly affects what crops can be operated next year.

"This is not clear yet, but there is no limit to cotton and sugarcane." Xia Jun said... "The planning of other crops will take several months." The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm. Li Shishuang pulled Xia Jun aside and talked with Xia Jun about the breeding industry. Li Shishuang planned to buy calf from other countries to expand the scale of the breeding farm.

Li Shishuang's plan was supported by Xia Jun as soon as it was proposed. The beef cattle in the cultivation base are now reproductive at too slow, and it took many years to make people eat beef.

If heifers are purchased from countries, the breeding industry will develop. Li Shilin will also cross scalpers and foreign cattle next year to see how effective it is. At least these cattle will have a very market before the new breed of beef cattle is promoted.

In the past few months, the three films have been screened in cinemas one after another, triggering a technological revolution in the film festival.

The real color movie is on the big screen for the first time.

In terms of evaluation, the "The Legend of the Bandits" filmed by East China Film Company and the "Huo Yuanjia" filmed by Zhongsheng Film Company have received positive reviews, and the romance film "True Love" filmed by Huasheng Group has been criticized by all walks of life.

This movie in which a poor boy seduces the rich family's daughter has been criticized by many feudal forces.

However, the box office performance of all three movies is good, so there is no need to say that "The Legend of the Leftover Bandits" is a gunfight film, and the military's performance is so cool, although it lacks the elements of love.

Zhongsheng Group's "Huo Yuanjia" set a precedent for martial arts films in Chinese movies. Although it is still a bit immature, the fighting scenes are still very attractive.

The movie "True Love" is a movie full of joyful love and some fantasy, which is very popular among young people.

Of course, since the audience of the movie "True Love" is not that big, it has the lowest box office, but it has not been much lower, and the film company still makes a fortune.

Cinemas in the three eastern autonomous provinces have been opened one after another, while Xia Jun has also opened some cinemas in other provinces, most of which choose to be in cities like provincial capitals, mainly for publicity.

"The Legend of the Bandits" will be released in Jiangcheng City in various provinces in the future, and then two other movies will be followed.

The three film companies soon had new shooting plans. East China Film Company originally wanted to continue filming bandit films. The story is based on Xia Jun fighting alone in Xixiang to show the chairman's courage. This proposal once received support from many people, but was denied by Xia Jun.

He didn't want to learn from Grandpa Kim of North Korea, so he threw a stone and smashed the American satellite down.

Just be appropriate in personality worship, which can make Xia Jun sit in a more stable position, which will be bad if you are too much.

East China Film Company decided to make a nationalist film called "The North of the Frontier", which tells the story of a Han army breaking into the North of the Frontier and fighting against the Hu people in the Han Dynasty.
