Chapter 334 Anhui Economy

"Alright, it's time to get down to business, let's go back too..."

Although I really wanted to go into the water and swim with Eleno, but considering that Kaoru Otsuki and Fumiko were now here, they couldn't do something inappropriate in front of them, so Yan Shao could only say with a little regret.

However, when he was speaking, Yan Shao didn't glance at Otsuki Kaoru a few times.

Otsuki Kaoru usually wears a kimono Yan Shao has seen it many times, a snow-white kimono, and with Otsuki Kaoru's appearance is naturally quite moving, but now this look Yan Shao is the first time to see it, so naturally you have to look at it more and leave some impressionsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” but there are Eleno and them next to them, even if you look at it, you have to look at it more hidden.

On the other hand, after hearing Yan Shao's words, Elaline and Caterina smiled, wiped the water stains on their bodies with a towel, and took the clothes from the maid and put them on their bodies.

"Okay, in that case, let's go change our clothes first, and you can wait here." After saying that, Elano had already walked to Kaoru Otsuki's side, took Fumiko's hand, and led her to the direction of the dressing room, while Lu Ying and Caterina also accompanied Kaoru Otsuki on the side, leaving Yan Shao alone standing by the pool.

"Helpless..."Sighing, Yan Shao took two sips of juice.

It is very troublesome for women to change clothes, and I believe many people know this very well, so by the time Elinor and the others came out of the locker room, almost 20 minutes had passedβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” and it was already very fast.

After changing into their swimsuits, Elano and the others wore their usual civilian clothes. Such as Elano's long black dress. Katarina's white shirt and trousers, Lu Ying's dress, etc., even Kaoru Otsuki did not wear a kimono as usual. Instead, she came out wearing a dress similar to Lu Ying.

"Okay, let's go..."Maybe it's because he thinks Yan Shao has opened his mind, or maybe he thinks that the more than 200 million pounds finally has a way out, Elaline seems to be very energetic.

After returning to the hall, Yan Shao smiled slightly at the few people who had changed back into their daily clothes, and then lowered his head and continued to think about the private bank.

It's not surprising, although Kaoru Otsuki is wearing a swimsuit for the first time. But after all, he has experienced a lot of things in the past ten years, and it is enough to think about it a little, and it is impossible to really think about it all day like a young man who is just beginning to fall in love.

As for Elano and Katarina. The first two Yan Shao have been watching it for almost ten years, and the latter one has been watching it for two or three years, although saying this may make them a little angry (naturally, Yan Shao is absolutely impossible to say to them). But Yan Shao was also a little tired of seeing it.

But all three of them can be called extremely beautiful. So Yan Shaozhi won't get bored with certain things.

"Master, tea..."

Just when Yan Shao was still there to bow his head and ponder, a servant on the side came over and put a cup of tea in front of Yan Shao.

"Hmm..."Nodding, Yan Shao picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Although Yan Shao's favorite thing is still juice, he has always had to socialize on formal occasions over the years. Everyone knows that Yan Shao doesn't like to smoke and drink, so they won't force him to do so on formal occasions (when Yan Shao's current status comes, it's only when he forces others.) How can anyone force him? ), but I met some people who always had to socialize a few times. I always have to take a sip or two of tea or something...

Especially when you meet some people who even Yan Shao has to make some expressions, you can't even take a sip of tea.

So over the years, Yan Shao is no longer so resistant to things like tea.

After taking a small sip, Yan Shao put the teacup on the tea table, and seeing that Elinor and Otsuki Kaoru were still chatting about something, Yan Shao also came up and chatted a few words.

It's just that at this time, a person suddenly ran in outside, and then whispered in Yan Shao's ear.

At first, Yan Shao's face was nothing, but after a while, he smiled a little helplessly, and his hand involuntarily touched his chin.

"As for it..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yan Shao's appearance, Elaline and Caterina looked a little curious, and even Lu Ying and Otsuki Kaoru also looked over. It's just that maybe it's because she hasn't gotten used to it yet, so Kaoru Otsuki's expression still looks a little strange, but Elano didn't suspect anything at the time, they just thought that she was a little unaccustomed to being seen by Yan Shao in a swimsuit.

At this time, almost 2 months have passed since the assassination, and Elano and Caterina's bodies are already very healthy, although they have been living a pampered life all these years, and their original means have been much weaker, but they are still not comparable to ordinary people, so after two months of recuperation, the two are almost goodβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” at least they can do some less intense sports, such as swimming or something.

Even in recent times, the two have begun to return to work.

For example, Eleno has begun to take over the affairs of the group, and Caterina has begun to deal with some of the work related to the secret service at the estate.

As for Lu Ying, she was not injured in that assassination, let alone in that assassination.

At the same time, seeing the curious looks of several people, Yan Shao smiled bitterly.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is news from below, saying that Li Liang and they seem to be very happy, and they are now drinking in Jubin Building..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but sigh. "As for it..."This sigh contains many things, both helplessness and other...

On the other side, after hearing Yan Shao's words, Elaline and Caterina couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, they thought a lot, but they definitely didn't expect Li Liang that they would actually drink and celebrate for this kind of thing. However, after thinking about it carefully, several people still figured out the real meaning behind Li Liang...

"......" shook his head, Lu Ying didn't say anything, obviously not planning to express any opinions.

Eleno and Caterina's faces changed slightly, and only Kaoru Otsuki and Fumiko were still sitting there. Nothing is clear ...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Li Liang and they will go to Jubin Building to drink, in a sense, they are actually celebrating this incident, that is, Yan Shao's plan to build a private bank.

In order for Yan Shao to plan a private bank, he had to get together for a drink. Something inexplicable? Exaggerated?

On the surface, this is the case, but in reality?

In fact, since the establishment of the military government, Li Liang and other government officials have been worried about one thing. That's what this junta really became Yan Shao alone after the most reluctance...

At least for now, it's not out of the question.

In fact, far from impossible, it is developing rapidly in this direction.

That's right, Yan Shao did put forward a three-step plan of 'military administration, training administration, and constitutionalism', but who knows what will happen in the end. Even when he first came up with the three-step plan. There are also people who worry that in the end, the three-step plan will be artificially stuck in the stage of 'discipline and administration'.

The reason is simple, because power is confusing...

Just like drugs are to addicts, many people scoff at drugs. I thought that if it was my own, there would be no problem, but after they tried it, it was impossible to quit it...

And power. Apparently one of the drugs...

Even if Yan Shao won't be like this now. But who knows if he will be like this in 10 years?

You must know that the economy of Anhui is almost all in the hands of Yan Shao.

There is also the army, which is also loyal to Yan Shao alone, if Yan Shao really intends to do that, even if someone is afraid of it, it is useless.

Although some people in the military government felt that if Yan Shao could run China as well as Anhui now, it would be impossible to establish a constitutional monarchy, but Li Liang and the others all came back from the United States. Naturally, I don't want to put in a lot of hard work for a career, but in the end, it will become like that...

The economy of Anhui today. It can basically be divided into two parts.

One part is the Yushi Group, which is now under the management of Elaino, and the other part is other enterprises and factories other than the Yushi Group.

The two major parts, from the fact that the Yushi Group accounts for half of them, it can be seen how strong the position of the Yushi Group is now.

And the situation is not only that, in addition to the Yushi Group, the other part is mainly composed of three parts, one is the current Anhui Bank, one is after the recovery of Anhui, the local gentry spontaneously set up some factories related to people's livelihood, such as cotton textile mills, spinning mills, flour mills, etc., from Anhui to the present, there are hundreds of such factories, and because of the very low tax in Anhui, there are many factories under construction. It's just that although it seems to be a lot, the scale of such factories in the world is very small, so although there are hundreds of them combined, they are the smallest part of this part.

In addition to these two, the rest is a factory that has cooperated with Yushi Automobile Company.

This part is even bigger than the Anhui Bank and those small factories combined...

These factories basically need to rely on the snort of the Yushi Group, if Yan Shao doesn't need them one day, I'm afraid that they will close down the next day. Coupled with the fact that the shareholders behind these factories have made a lot of money these days, it is naturally impossible to oppose Yan Shao.

And those small factories, although they look like a lot, are still too small in scale. In this way, it is unlikely to have any influence.

In other words, the only pure land of Anhui's economy today is the China Construction Bank...

If that's really the case...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

As an official bank, theoretically speaking, CCB should be regarded as the only one in Anhui that belongs to the military government.

It is precisely because of this that CCB is regarded by many in the military government as the only pure land in Anhui.

However, this is only theoretical, in practice it is completely different...

It takes money to build a bank, especially the construction bank opened by the military government, because this bank is very different from other banks, that is, it implements the gold bar standard...

Ordinary banks, basically, just put up the shelves of the bank, and then get a few money printing machines to print those banknotes that fool the people, so the investment required is not very much. It even only takes tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. But Anhui's China Construction Bank, in addition to minting silver coins, also prints paper moneyβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” which sounds no different from other banks?

Don't forget. The bank implements the gold bar standard, and those silver coins are counted, and as long as a certain amount of paper money is collected, you can go to the bank to exchange for the equivalent amount of gold.

Naturally, gold or something must not be exchanged at will, there must be an upper limit, that is, 10,000 yuan. It's about 100 years of salary for an ordinary soldier in the National Social Army, well, almost 100 years. Not really.

Ordinary people can't afford to spend such a large sum of money, but even then you have to leave a part of the gold in the bank as a reserve.

The question is, where does the gold come from?

Generally speaking. How many banknotes are printed. Just how much gold you have to make a reserve.

Of course, it won't be the case, but at least you have the equivalent of one-fifth of the gold to set aside, right?

This means that if you print 10,000 pieces of paper, you should give at least 2,000 pieces of gold in your hands. If you issue 100,000, that's 20,000, and if you issue 1,000,000, it's 200,000. If you issue 10 million...... You need two million gold.

Then the question arises to the current financial situation of the military junta. Can you afford two million worth of gold? Obviously, he can't afford it, not to mention that the so-called two million gold is only less than a ton, and it is impossible for the dignified Anhui military government to issue only 10 million banknotes...

Therefore, the money that CCB needs to buy gold is also in the hands of Yan Shao...

Naturally, Yan Shao didn't feel anything strange about this, after all, the entire military government was established by him, but Li Liang didn't think so.

Now that the reserves used by the bank are all bought by Yan Shao, Yan Shao will naturally have a lot more say in matters related to the bankβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although it is also his word now.

If Yan Shao is in a bank with a large amount of deposits, then this bank, according to an official who is more disgusted with Yan Shao, is this bank 'Is the fucking surname Guoshe or surname Yan?!' β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”By the way, now this official has been assigned to Xikang Province, without Yan Shao's knowledge...

This is also because of the relationship between Li Liang and his colleagues who drank to celebrate after learning the news.

Since Yan Shao has decided to set up a private bank, he obviously does not intend to attack the Construction Bank, so that the only pure land of the military government is equivalent to being preserved, how can this make Li Liang and them unhappy?

Of course, just because they will celebrate doesn't mean they are against Yan Shao, after all, they have seen the changes in Anhui over the years.

Let's talk about income first, in the past, the average daily wage of workers in Anhui was only 5 to 8 cents, which was two or three times worse than that of 1 to 1 jiao and 5 cents in Shanghai. Now the average wage of workers in Anhui has reached the point of 1 dime and 5 cents, and the employees in Yushi Group have reached a minimum of 2 dimes...

In addition, there are a large number of railways, tens of millions invested in the past, and with the efforts of Zhan Tianyou, it has become nearly 1,000 kilometers of railways, connecting almost all important cities in Anhui.

The expressway, which is still very rare abroad, has also begun to be paved in a large area in Anhui.

In addition, at the request of the Ministry of Education, Yan Shao allocated 1 million for the construction of schools, and personally donated 10 million to build 300 primary and secondary schools in Anhui that are exempt from tuition and miscellaneous feesβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” high schools and universities are not under his control, at least Yan Shao thinks so...

Today, the number of school-going children in Anhui has reached nearly 400,000, which can be said to be earth-shattering compared with less than 10,000 in the previous Qing Dynasty.

And a lot of hospitals and so on, all of this is in the eyes of the people.

This is also the reason why public opinion does not support the war, but when the war really starts, the people of Anhui have few objections.

People always have to repay their kindness, and the more simple people are, the more so.

Today's Anhui people are simple and simple, and Yan Shao treats them so well, now that Yan Shao has been bombed, how can they not be willing to avenge Yan Shao?

On the other hand, it is also because of these reasons that Li Liang and the others will not oppose Yan Shao.

Not only because the current Kuomintang was founded by Yan Shao, not only because they have followed Yan Shao for many years, but more importantly, because they simply do not have this ability.

There are no soldiers, no power, not even the will of the people, even if they want to do something, what can they do?

It's just that there are some things that have to be done all the time, so they will do their best to ensure the independence of CCBβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” even though the bank has little independence to speak of.

On the other hand, it is not that no one has thought about the harm that Yan Shao's private bank may bring.

In these years, there are still a lot of private banks, even those money banks are more or less, but their capital is not as strong as Yan Shao, and the harm caused is not much, but Yan Shao's words...

With Yan Shao's current net worth, he can even buy the whole of China, and if it is a bank he runs, there is almost no problem in controlling China's finance.

However, on this issue, Li Liang and the others also think very clearly.

"If you don't let Du supervise the bank, then he will definitely attack the Construction Bank, in this case, it is better to let him run his bank, even if there is any problem, it is much better than letting the surname of the Construction Bank be Yan now..."

When he said this, Li Liang's hearts were also full of helplessness.

Especially Li Liang and the other two, they even knew very well that the matter of their current drinking had been told by Yan Shao, because of that damn secret service...

But their current gesture of drinking and celebrating, isn't it for Yan Shao to see?

In this way, at least Yan Shao can understand their thoughts, and let Yan Shao know that they still hope that the military government can have some independence, instead of completely becoming a place where Yan Shao alone has the final say...

There is always some difference between autocracy and dictatorship... (To be continued......)
