Chapter 133: Salary Raising Office

Chen Jingyun has not paid much attention to the commercial and economic affairs, he is more concerned about the military and financial affairs, and Chen Jingyun does not expect to rely on the development of the industrial and commercial economy as a fundamental development of his power. In the era of warlord warfare, even in the semi-colonial era when tariffs were controlled by foreigners, the development of industry and commerce was basically an empty word, even if great efforts were made to support industry and commerce, it could not be effective in a short period of time, whether Chen Jingyun was short-sighted or that Chen Jingyun was anxious, in short, he just did not think about honestly developing industry and commerce for decades, and then slowly going out of Fujian.

It is precisely because Chen Jingyun does not care about it that the affairs of industry and commerce are basically grasped by Hong Zitai and Zheng Zuyin and other military and political axes, and these people are also big capitalists, and some government decisions are naturally inclined to industry and commerce, not only formulating a series of policies to support industry and commerce, but also implementing some tax reduction policies. In this way, even if there is no personal attention from Chen Jingyun, Fujian's industrial and commercial industry has developed extremely rapidly.

When the Nationalist Army completely took Zhejiang, the rapid development of Fujian's industry and commerce after the unification of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Lijin will naturally have some competitive contradictions with Zhejiang's commerce.

This kind of competition is actually not a bad thing, although part of the Zhejiang capital swallowed up part of the Fujian market, but with the Chen family and Hong Zitai and others of the capital also swallowed part of the Zhejiang market, although there will be various conflicts in the early stage, but after a long time of integration, a new economic system will be formed.

Chen Jingyun doesn't pay much attention to these things, and he doesn't have any intuitive concept about them, but he only has a slight understanding after listening to Hong Zitai mention it a little now.

However, Chen Jingyun would not think that Hong Zitai came here today to explain to him the commercial conflict between Zhejiang and Fujian.

Sure enough, after the halfway through the wine, Hong Zitai spoke again: "Governor, a few months ago, I also acquired a silk reeling factory in Ningbo, I thought it was bigger and stronger, but I was powerless!" ”

Zhejiang is the largest province in the production of silkworm cocoons in China, but because of its proximity to Shanghai, due to transportation and other reasons, many merchants choose to purchase cocoons from Zhejiang and set up silk reeling factories in Shanghai, rather than directly setting up silk reeling factories in Hangzhou and other places. Local officials and business circles in Zhejiang have always wanted to change this situation, but on the whole, they have not been fundamentally resolved.

After seeing Fuding Textile Factory set up a branch in Ningbo, Hong Zitai and several other people also followed, trying to make a profit, but they didn't expect that the business was not good after setting up the factory, not only did they not make a profit, but they lost a lot of money. However, the branch of Fuding Textile Factory in Ningbo can still survive by relying on Chen Jingyun's personal name.

In this case, Hong Zitai and several others are thinking about production, and want to unite their respective silk reeling industries in Ningbo with Fuding Ningbo Branch Factory to develop and grow. But this matter is very important, these seven or eight are the top chaebols in Fujian, and their silk reeling industry in Zhejiang alone has added up to nearly 10 million, and Li Yanen of Fuding did not dare to be arbitrary, and reported to the Chen Mansion. However, since the winter coat turmoil in the Chen Mansion, Chen Huiyang, the foreign housekeeper in charge of the business, was dismissed by Chen Jingyun for a while, and he couldn't find anyone in charge of major affairs, so he could only fall on Chen Yu's family, Chen Yu's family can usually grasp the idea, but this time it is not easy for her to manage the business operation of millions of yuan, so she directly replied that they should go to Chen Jingyun.

After turning around like this, as soon as those people said peace, they let Hong Zitai go to see Chen Jingyun.

It can be said that Hong Zitai has nothing to do with business this time, and is completely for business.

"Governor, although there are many factories in Ningbo, Shaoxing and other places, our forces are too scattered, and we can't compete with Hangzhou and Shanghai! If we can join forces, we dare not say big words, but Zhejiang's raw silk business can win at least forty percent. Hong Zitai said with confidence.

Chen Jingyun also felt a little after hearing this, in the end, it was his own business, and the other companies were also big chaebols in Fujian, and they were all his own supporters, so he couldn't ignore it, but this matter was not easy to say for a while, and Chen Jingyun had to learn the details before making plans.

"In this way, I will ask Li Yanen about it, and I will have someone pass you on in two days!" Chen Jingyun did not agree, nor did he refuse.

Hearing Chen Jingyun's tone, Hong Zitai didn't look depressed, but said happily: "This is natural, then I will wait for the good news of the governor!" ”

Anwarin said: "Don't talk about those troubles, come on, let's have a drink first!" ”

Anwarin said with a smile, he is not like Hong Zitai, his business is mainly focused on wood, paper and tea, and the objects are mainly exported, and he does not want Hong Zitai and others to be involved in the textile industry, and there is no need to go to Zhejiang to set up a factory in order to expand the scale. This traditional industry basically has no competitors in Fujian and Zhejiang, especially in Anjia's main business tea, his main competitors are those cheap tea in India, which has nothing to do with the country, so when the business community in Fujian and Zhejiang is tense because of various trade conflicts, he can stay out of it.

Moreover, since becoming the chief of the finance department, Anwarin's mind has shifted from business to politics, and he is not busy with his own business while busy with political and official affairs like Hong Zitai, he Anwarin has handed over the family's business to his eldest son last year, although the process is a little twists and turns, but it is a necessary process of running-in, and it will be smooth after a long time, which is also the reason why Anwarin can take care of political axe and official affairs with peace of mind.

After eating this lunch, Hong Zitai quickly said goodbye first, and then Chen Jingyun and An Warlin talked about financial matters, mainly asking how Anwarin's third phase of the recovery bonds were bought.

Among the recovery bonds issued by the Fujian military and political axe, the first two issues were about 17 million, of which 15 million were secretly bought by Yue himself, and most of the remaining more than 2 million were purchased by the Fujian military and political axe, and not many were purchased by ordinary people.

Then the Fujian military and political axe relied on the Bank of Fuzhou to issue the third tranche of recovery bonds, with a total of 5 million. At the beginning, it was still bought by people who served as political axes, for example, Hong Zitai bought 300,000 yuan, and An Hualin also bought 300,000 yuan, Chen Jingyun bought 500,000 yuan himself, and then the other two houses of the Chen family also paid 100,000 yuan each, plus several other rich people in Fujian almost subscribed half of the five million, and the rest were sold through Fuzhou Bank. It's not a worker or anything like that.

"The sales of the third phase of the Guangfu bonds are much better than the previous ones, especially after the victory of the war in Hangzhou, more than 500,000 yuan were sold in a few days, and the buyers are all small and medium-sized businesses, I think it will not take half a month, and the remaining more than 1 million yuan can be sold out." Anwarin continued: "Now the Finance Department is ready to release the fourth issue! ”

Chen Jingyun was also a little surprised to hear that the Guangfu bonds were sold so well, you must know that in addition to the fifteen million bonds sold by himself, the rest of the bonds were basically taken over by various families. Now I hear that the civilian class has also begun to buy the recovery bonds, which shows that the ordinary people in Fujian have confidence in the military and political axes.

As long as they have enough confidence in the military and political axe to believe that they will be able to pay the recovery bonds in the future, they will buy it. After all, the minimum face value of a republican bond is 50 yuan, and if the military and political axes cannot guarantee solvency, even ordinary middle-class people will not buy republican bonds simply to support the republic or something. It is only when they see the benefits and the ability to preserve value that they strike a balance between interests and support for the revolution.

The purchase of recovery bonds can support the revolution, and if their interests can be guaranteed in the future, then the number of supporters will definitely increase.

Hearing the news, Chen Jingyun smiled and said, "Okay, Chief An, as long as you handle this matter of recovering bonds, you will already be considered competent." ”

An Hualin also said with a smile: "This is all where the National Army fought well in Hangzhou, now people are shrewd and shrewd, after seeing that our National Army has taken Zhejiang, no matter how stupid people are, they know how to choose!" ”

"Haha!" Chen Jingyun also laughed: "After all, if you want them to take out the money, they must buy some strength!" ”

Now that the financial situation of the National Army is running well, An Hualin and Chen Jingyun are in a good mood, and after Hong Zitai left, the two drank a few glasses of wine, but then Chen Jingyun said: "Chief An, you also know that I have set up a salary raising office under the headquarters. I have already included the anti-smoking department and the military salaries of Zhejiang. ”

When Anwarin heard this, he was also a little puzzled, he knew about the salary office in the national army, and he still had a lot of resentment about it. He thought that he was helping Chen Jingyun manage his money bags, but after the headquarters had this fund-raising office, he not only managed the financial affairs of Zhejiang, but also managed the income of the anti-smoking department. However, since Chen Jingyun talked about it today, An Hualin secretly thought that he had to complain a few words.

"Governor, this fund-raising office is really ......"

However, before An Hualin could speak, Chen Jingyun had already spoken: "That's the case, now Zhuang Nan, the director of the fundraising department, has gone to Zhejiang to serve as the deputy director of the finance department, and now there is no one in charge of the fundraising department, so I want you to serve as the director of this fundraising department!" ”

When An Hualin heard this, his heart jumped suddenly: "Concurrently serving as the director of the fundraising department? ”

Chen Jingyun nodded.

The reason why Anwarin complained about the fund-raising office was that he thought that this fund-raising office controlled the anti-smoking department and Zhejiang's finances, which was to divide most of his power, but if you look at it from another angle, it will be different to let him be in charge of this fund-raising office.

"Now we don't have two provinces under our hands, and it is definitely inappropriate to openly include Zhejiang's finances into Fujian, so I got a fundraising office, but now the finances are divided into many parties, and many things are difficult to sort out thoroughly, so I plan to let you concurrently serve as the director of the fundraising department, and then let Zhuang Nan serve as the deputy director of the fundraising department." Chen Jingyun originally wanted to separate the three aspects of the financial system, but it didn't take a few days to get into a lot of trouble, and he found that there was still no way to have a unified financial system, so he had today's thoughts, in fact, the main reason for calling Anwarin over today is for this matter.

Although An Hualin was secretly happy in his heart, he still asked with some apprehension: "After serving as the director of the salary department, is he considered a soldier?" ”

Chen Jingyun shook his head: "The salary department is a special department, and there is no military rank, so Zhuang Nan has no military rank!" ”

After thinking for a while, Anwarin said: "What does the governor mean is to set up a financial system under the headquarters, and then take charge of the finances of Fujian and Zhejiang?" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded!
