readx; The late January of 1931 in the Western calendar coincided with the Great Cold Festival, which was the coldest time of the year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the winter in Nanjing cannot be compared with the northern region, it is still extremely cold, and most of the people walking on the streets are wearing heavy clothes, and some of the rich and noble people are wearing fur and other warm clothes at home, and even ordinary people mostly wear thick cotton clothes.

Since the national army led by Chen Jingyun unified China, there is no time for the country to recover from the war, even though there will be natural disasters of varying degrees in some places in the country every year, and after the reunification of China, it is also because of the intervention in the Russian civil war and the war to recover Arthur and Ben, but in these wars, except for the battle of Arthur, the others are all in Siberia and Korea, which does not have much impact on domestic production activities.

After the reunification, several wars gave China a great international status, not to mention, and the world war of that year gave China's economy a chance to take off, although it experienced nearly two years of post-war economic crisis, but after 1923, China because of the victory in the Sino-Chinese war and thanks to the Coolidge boom between 1924 and 1929 in the United States, China once again achieved rapid development.

And at the beginning of 1929, China's economic development reached a peak in the past 100 years.

In 1929, the world economic crisis that broke out from the United States made China's industry and commerce, which was heavily dependent on foreign trade, especially the new electrical industry and the export of traditional raw silk, tea and other agricultural products suffered a heavy blow, but in 1930, after Chen Jingyun made a high-profile comeback and was elected president, a series of policies to stimulate the economy made China's economy begin to come out of the trough, although it is said that it is necessary to continue to work hard to return to the peak state at the beginning of 1929, but compared with the economic situation of other countries in the world, But if only it were much better.

After the political axe invested heavily in the construction of a large number of projects, the domestic infrastructure construction has entered a new round of development, and China's steel, cement, chemical and other basic industries have obtained sufficient consumer markets and have been able to develop rapidly.

When these basic industries can continue to develop, they will also bring markets to other domestic industries, thus truly stimulating the market for domestic consumer goods.

The people also began to dispel all their previous worries, and there was no longer a run, and they would not say that they had hidden their money as tightly as they did in 1929 and did not dare to spend.

Overall, China's current economic situation has not seen the same rapid growth as during World War I and 1923-1929, but it has maintained a relatively stable growth rate.

However, in a series of economic pull policies, the political axe issued a large number of banknotes as collateral for investment with government bonds as collateral. Under such circumstances, the GDP of domestic products has not increased much, and the incremental issuance of paper money will inevitably cause prices to rise, although the depreciation of the Chinese dollar is very small, but it still arouses the vigilance of some economists.

However, this is not without its benefits, at least the value of a large number of domestic agricultural products has remained at a relatively normal level. You must know that when the economic crisis broke out in 1929, the prices of domestic agricultural products generally fell, among which rice and other grains were better, but some value-added agricultural products, such as soybeans in Northeast China, such as raw silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the price plummeted, which brought extremely heavy pressure to local farmers, and many farmers went bankrupt as a result.

After the serious contraction of the international market, the political axe is also to guide domestic raw silk enterprises to develop the domestic market, instead of relying heavily on the United States and European markets as before.

In the past ten years, China's raw silk production has risen sharply, but it has always been export-oriented, in fact, domestic consumption has been extremely suppressed. This situation was not the will of the businessmen, but a deliberate suppression by the Department of Economic Development.

Because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China continues to have a large amount of foreign exchange, can be used to export in exchange for foreign exchange products will almost all be used for export, raw silk, tea, porcelain and other traditional export products, there are a large number of mineral resources, such as tungsten ore has always been China's main export rare minerals, more than 90% of the tungsten ore in the international market is provided by China. In addition, pharmaceutical products and electrical products are also China's emerging export commodities, especially pharmaceutical products are the world's exclusive advantages, and electrical products also occupy a small share of the international market, the radio and electric fan produced by Fule Electric's subsidiaries are sold to the global market, and occupy a major market share in this and Southeast Asia.

In the past, in order to stimulate exports to obtain valuable foreign exchange, the domestic sales of these export commodities were subject to certain restrictions.

For example, the sales of raw silk products in China have been greatly restricted, and the taxes paid are extremely heavy, resulting in the price of raw silk products such as silk and stockings in China being higher than that in the United States, and the raw silk products in the United States are transported from China, and they have to pay freight and import duties, and then the cost of workers making finished products such as stockings in the United States is much higher than that in China.

In order to save the domestic raw silk industry, the political axe has relaxed the restrictions on domestic raw silk products, and guided domestic raw silk enterprises to develop the domestic private market by reducing a part of the tax.

Although the profits are far less than in the past, it is still possible to keep the factories running, pay the wages of the workers, and more importantly, they also have money to pay for the purchase of silkworm cocoons for silkworm farmers. This enables sericulture farmers to make a living.

In order to maintain the raw silk of domestic sericulture farmers, it is actually the goal of relaxing the control of raw silk in China. The number of sericulture farmers in China is quite large, and others can ignore their life or death, but the political axe cannot be ignored, and Chen Jingyun cannot be ignored.

Chen Jingyun can't let them sell their sons and daughters like the silkworm farmers who said, 'Ben'.

The economy is slowly recovering, and China still has the foundation for the rapid economic growth of the previous ten years, so this year's national life is still good.

Without the fear of the economic crisis, the steps of the people on the streets of Nanjing are not as urgent as they were in the previous year or two, on the contrary, many people are still full of joy.

"Did you hear that, we won a big battle on the North Korean side!" In a teahouse on the streets of Nanjing, the radio came from the melodious Peking Opera, but in this era, the radio is not a new thing, any slightly passable teahouse will be placed on one, and many middle-class families also have radios and electric fans These electrical products, and electric lights have long begun to enter the homes of urban residents. Electrification in China was so rapid that in 1915 only some large cities had electricity, and ordinary city dwellers could not afford it. After more than ten years of development, the power grids of the southern and northern electric power have been laid in ordinary counties, which is naturally inseparable from the deliberate guidance of the political axe.

Among them, the north and south power is the most direct product, because at the beginning of the stage of China only one Fule Electric, and the domestic power supply formed a monopoly, in order to make electricity rapid popularization, at the same time the domestic super monopoly enterprises also hold a certain opposition, so the political axe is dominant, Fule Electric will be subordinate to the power sector to read out, and respectively set up the south power and the north power.

Despite the diversification and cross-shareholding, Huaxia Bank still controls about 30% of the shares of Föhler Power and 35% of the shares of North and South Power.

Although the power supply department has been divested, Fule Electric is still the number one electrical enterprise in China and even in the world, and it still has a large number of core enterprises: China Telegraph Company, Fule Radio Company, and Gumei Electric Company

The China Telegraph Company controls almost half of China's telegraph offices and cable telephone networks.

Gumei electrical appliances occupy almost half of the domestic household appliances market, and its electric fans and radios are exported to the global market.

Fule Radio is the only radio equipment supplier in China, which not only provides the Navy with warship telegraphs, but also provides the army with radio communication command systems, and also improves the telegraph and radio real-time communication systems for fighters.

In this era, Föhler Electric is actually a veritable electrical giant, except that it may be inferior to Siemens of Germany and General Electric of the United States in terms of technology, and the overall scale is not inferior to similar domestic enterprises.

In fact, most of the electrical companies in this era were monopolistic enterprises, and General Electric of the United States occupied almost most of the radio market in the United States, and Siemens in Germany was also a similar monopoly enterprise.

Although we may not be able to compare with them because of the technological gap in the world, in China, we are indeed a veritable electrification monopoly. This degree of monopoly even exceeds the monopoly of South China Bank on raw silk and the monopoly of Southeast Iron and Steel on the domestic steel industry.

However, the business of Fule Electric is divided into many subsidiaries, and Fule Electric itself is only a group company, although the public is a little unfamiliar with them, but it is a fact that Fule Electric monopolizes China's electrical industry.

The reason why Fule Electric can monopolize the domestic market is that it cannot be done with financial resources alone, after all, other domestic consortia are not short of money, and it is not necessarily much worse if they fight for money, and what really makes Fule Electric monopolize the domestic electrical industry is their technology. In order to solve the problem of talents, and even several top universities in China jointly set up a scholarship fund, the successful opening of the electronics department of Southeast University is inseparable from the strong support of Fule Electric, and even Fule Electric also spends a huge amount of money every year to support these high-quality students to study in famous foreign universities.

Of course, with the corporate surname of Fule Electric, it is natural to sign a long-term work contract before providing them to study abroad, so as to avoid the flow of talents trained by spending money to other companies.

In the teahouses on the streets of Nanjing, many teahouses have radios produced by Gumei Electric Company, a subsidiary of Fule Electric, but this thing was still very new in the past few years, but now most people are used to it.

At the moment, I didn't listen to the Peking Opera on the radio, but drank tea and chatted in twos and threes.

Nanjing is the capital of China, and as the old saying goes, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the political atmosphere is extremely strong, and a random person on the street can say a few words about national affairs.

At this time, in the teahouse, several people were obviously talking about national affairs.

"But no, I've heard that General Li's army wrapped up the Korean people, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought for more than a month before they killed the hundreds of thousands!" The person who spoke was also a little old, and the person who was about fifty years old touched his short beard and sighed: "That General Li Lianyang is the head of the four brigades who followed the president in the Fuzhou uprising in the early years, and the founding hero of the country. If it weren't for the fact that the republic is now a king and is not prosperous, then General Li is at least a king with a different surname! ”
