Chapter 336 Financial Issues!

This reward is not insignificant.

The so-called Friendship Medal of the Chinese Soviet Republic has a gold content so high that it is almost unimaginable. This is the highest honor awarded to Yu Hua and Zhuang Qianding at the official level of the organization.

The Chinese Soviet Republic was founded in 1931 and ended in 1937. According to historical development, it will be transformed into the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government along with the Red Army’s acceptance and adaptation, and it has become history.

The Medal of Friendship that Yu Hua and Zhuang Qianding received is truly an honor.

As for the performance of the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology buyout contract, the payment of 15 ocean technology buyout fees is also a huge expense for the entire organization.

It is the proper attitude to perform calmly and act according to the contract.

"Medal of Friendship..." Yu Hua was slightly taken aback when he heard the reward content of the red-headed document read out by Chen Kang. He looked back at the history and searched for information, but found no trace of the Medal of Friendship. For the Red Army in this period, The highest honor is the Red Star Medal, which is divided into first, second and third grades.

Darling, could it be that this is a special medal for me and Professor Zhuang?
It's a big deal.

Yu Hua knew that the theme of this meeting was to reward meritorious deeds, but he had no idea that in addition to the technology buyout fee, the organization also specially rewarded the Medal of Friendship.

Others don't understand, but Yu Hua fully understands the gold content of this medal. If he is lucky enough to live for decades, this medal as a special souvenir can be sold for tens of millions in money, and the value of honor is even more immeasurable. .

In the name of Soviet, forged with the reality of friendship, looking at the world, there are only two of them.

Professor Zhuang showed surprise on his face. He also did not expect the situation of the Medal of Friendship. While surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable touch...

He had never experienced this kind of feeling during his work in Nanjing. He not only gave him compliance with the contract rules, but also gave him spiritual recognition and affirmation. Compared with the intriguing environment and the superiors who robbed technological achievements, it was a thousand times better.

"Clap clap clap!"

When the two of them were in a daze, a loud and enthusiastic applause came out immediately, resounding through the conference room of the cave dwelling.

"Professor Zhuang, Mr. Yu Hua, congratulations. The Medal of Friendship was awarded after the meeting. This is a check for the technical buyout fee. It is currently stored in the border bank vault, and you can withdraw it at any time."

Chen Kang put down the red top-secret document with a smile on his face, and then solemnly took out two checks and placed them in front of the desks of the two of them: "The boss said, please don't do Zigong's work. Be sure to accept the money according to the contract."

Don't do Zigong's work in the matter of traveling Zilu!

The implication is self-evident, don't reject this technical buyout fee because of the objective factors of the financial difficulties in the border area, otherwise, the matter will turn into a redemption of Zigong, and many people who intend to go to the base area but live in difficulty Technical talents will be discouraged by this.

Now that a contract has been established, it must be done according to the contract, one is honesty, and the other is to let others see the real and effective benefits.

The check bank comes from the border area bank, with a total amount of 15 silver dollars, one piece of 12 silver dollars, and one piece of [-] silver dollars. For ordinary people, this amount of money is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Today, one dollar of legal currency can still buy a piglet. According to the exchange rate between silver dollars and legal currency, the purchasing power of an ocean is extremely high.

The conference room was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua.

The focus of the audience!

The voice came out, and upon hearing this, Zhuang Qianding was about to say something, and immediately understood what it meant, took a deep breath, and said solemnly and solemnly: "Thank you, Director Chen, and thank you boss."

After the words fell, I took the personal check for thirty thousand silver dollars.

According to the technology buyout contract, he enjoys 20% of the technology buyout fee.

The financial difficulties in the border area are obvious to all. Zhuang Qianding originally didn't want to accept this money, but when he heard the idiom Zigong redeeming people from Chen Kang, he immediately understood.

Whether it is for oneself or for the government, the money must be accepted.

"Thank you." With a smile on his face, Yu Hua calmly picked up the check and put it in his pocket while everyone was watching.

Collect the money, it's over.

Seeing this, Chen Kang showed a comfortable smile on his face, he was relieved in his heart, fortunately...

With Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua accepting the money, from now on, the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology officially belongs to the base.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing. At present, the base area's finances are seriously tight, and it has reached the point where it can't make ends meet. The main expenditure is in our Military Industry Bureau and the army. The superiors have instructed us whether we can manufacture some industrial products and sell them to the outside world to earn funds. "Chen Kang paused, sorted out his words, and continued, giving the second main thing of today's meeting.

There was a trace of solemnity in the words.

financial.

Still finances.

This is an unavoidable topic, just like the problem of limited capacity faced by the Military Industry Bureau.

Since the start of the entire pre-war large-scale production movement, financial funds in the base area have flowed out like flowing water. Millions of silver dollars and thousands of taels of gold have finally been exchanged for some of today's heavy industries. Liushugou Industrial Zone, Ansai Cement Factory and Explosives Factory, Yulin Iron and Steel Factory, two highway projects, etc., achieved remarkable results in the mass production movement, which greatly improved the comprehensive strength of the base area and the Red Army.

However, for the base area, the bomb-like funding problem hidden in the dark has not only failed to be resolved, but has become more serious and is about to explode.

The reason is simple. No matter which factory it is, it is currently in a state of investment, and the industrial products it produces have not been sold to earn money, and it is impossible to form a positive cycle industrial system.

Only input, no output, how to do it?
Now there are only two choices left for the base areas, either to stop all current industrial construction to ease financial pressure, or to manufacture industrial products and sell them to foreign countries in exchange for profits, forming a positive circular industrial system.

In fact, this kind of industrial economy is extremely unfamiliar to the organizations that have been in contact with the rural economic system for a long time. Inability to adapt and recognize to make effective judgments.

How did the previous financial funds of the base areas come from?

At the beginning, it was still the same old way. When I first entered northern Shaanxi, I beat local tyrants for money.

Although the wealthy landlords have a lot of money, this kind of thing is not like leeks that can grow within a few days after being cut. They can only last for a while and cannot be used for a long time.

Up to now, the base areas have basically abandoned the method of confiscating land from landlords and distributing it to poor and hired farmers, and instead adopt the strategy of "[-]-year rent reduction" to collect taxes.

The so-called 25% rent reduction means that regardless of the form of tenancy, the original rent will be reduced by [-]%, which is aimed at the large number of tenant farmers and poor farmers. This is an unavoidable solution.

The [-]th reduction of rent and tax provides a stable and long-term source of income and greatly relieves financial pressure. However, when faced with industrial construction, it exposes its own shortcomings.

what defect?
That is the economic basis of the [-]th reduction in rent and taxation. It is the rural stratum with the small peasant economy as the mainstay, not the richer urban industrial and commercial class. As far as the tax revenue of the area currently controlled by the base area is concerned, it is completely unable to support the ongoing industrial construction funds needed.

Small water pipes cannot irrigate thousands of acres of land, and a poor northern Shaanxi area cannot support industrial construction. Normally, if you want to realize the industrialization of a place, you need to gather the strength of the whole country.

But this condition was completely unrealistic for the base area in 1937.

In addition, in addition to its own weak economic foundation, the base area also faced the biggest external threat of the Japanese invaders.

The most urgent task at the moment is to produce industrial products through the existing factories, sell them to foreign countries to earn profits, and raise funds for the finance of the base area.

"Manufacturing industrial goods..."

When Zhuang Qianding heard about it, his mind fell into thinking: "Has the superior arranged any specific industrial products to be produced?"

"No, this is just an instruction. We need our Military Industry Bureau to discuss and determine the types of industrial products that can be produced before reporting." Chen Kang shook his head: "Everyone brainstorms and thinks about what industrial products can be produced to make money based on the current manufacturing capabilities of the Military Industry Bureau. I said a word, trying every means to make money."

Make money!

Make money!

Make money!

Having said the important thing three times, Chen Kang understands that the financial pressure of the base area is at a critical moment, and the solution to this problem lies in the Military Industry Bureau, which consumes the most funds.

The trouble should end it.

What industrial products are produced to make money?

Faced with this question, the conference room fell into silence, and everyone stared at each other.

They won't do this kind of thing.

"Old Lu, tell me your opinion." Chen Kang cast his eyes on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan stood up, got up with quite a headache, scratched his head, and said: "Uh...how about we make cigarette rolling machines to make cigarettes? The demand for cigarettes is very wide. If you want to buy tobacco leaves, you can go outside and cultivate them yourself. I heard that the profits are very high."

"Cigarettes, yes." Chen Kang nodded after hearing this, and wrote it down in the notebook with his right hand.
