Chapter 343: Nanyang Transformation (Third update, please subscribe)

Earth, what does it look like?

The earth is actually a little broken ball.

If, after World War II, there were reconnaissance satellites watching the earth from space, what would people see?

From Germany to Italy to Japan, cities across the vast Eurasian continent have turned into rubble fields. The high-rise buildings that were once turned into ruins and collapsed, streets and highways were filled with rubble and rubble, and the harbor was filled with the wreckage of submarines and warships. In the former industrial cities, almost all of the former steel plants, coal mines, power plants and related facilities have been reduced to rubble, with hundreds of millions of people walking among the rubble.

Some cities have been wiped off this planet, such as Hamburg, Dresden, Stalingrad, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo...

Everywhere is dilapidated and messy, ravaged by war. There are piles of rubble everywhere. On the charred ruins, both the invaders who have trampled on the dignity of others and the protectors who fiercely defended their dignity have thrown down their weapons. They are fighting for one in the rubble and ruins. Working hard towards a common goal...construction!

Yes, enough blood has been shed. After paying the price of tens of millions, humans need to do something to make this little broken ball more beautiful, so that they and their families can leave the ruins of the past and have a place to live. , so as not to live in hunger.

And Nanyang is just one of all the characters. Since time has entered 47 years, the construction of Nanyang can even be described as rapid. Machines demolished from Germany and Japan have been quickly installed in standard factories. Although large-scale It will take time for the joint enterprise to be completed and put into operation, but small factories are being put into operation one after another. Nanyang, which once only had rubber plantations and other tropical plantations, is becoming the largest industrialized country in Asia.

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper..."

In the early morning, while waiting for the bus at the platform, the sound of sales made Yu Zhide look towards the newsstand not far away.

"The number of cotton spinning spindles in our country has exceeded six million, and the number of wool spinning spindles has exceeded one million, ranking first in Asia!"

The newspaper seller's shout made Yu Zhide's lips curl up. As the affairs officer of the Textile Department of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, as early as half a month ago, with the start of production of Yongning Textile Group, the scale of Nanyang's textile industry had already reached No. 1 in Asia.

To a certain extent, this requires "thanks" to Japan. Before the war, Japan's textile industry was extremely developed, with more than 1.1 million cotton spindles, more than 1.7 million woolen spindles, and dozens of looms. Thousands of sheets.

However, after its surrender, the occupying forces dismantled 80% of its textile equipment. Nanyang dismantled almost 60% of its production capacity. In fact, many of them belonged to friendly forces. However, the friendly forces did not demolish them professionally. Later, The two sides negotiated privately, and some facilities belonging to friendly forces were also demolished by the expeditionary force.

Of course, the friendly forces also received part of the compensation - the Borneo Shipping Company transported more than one million tons of machinery and equipment for them.

"Fortunately, it's just transporting equipment...otherwise, all the garrison in Kyushu would really be lost on the battlefield."

Thinking of the changes in the situation in Tangshan, Yu Zhide couldn't help but sigh.

"Even if there are 100,000 pigs, it will take a few days to catch them. Hey, it's only been a few days..."

As soon as he sighed, the bus arrived. When Yu Zhide squeezed into the bus like everyone else, the newspaper seller over there shouted again, vaguely seeming to be talking about a military defeat.

However, for the passengers in the car, all this has nothing to do with them. Whether they are clerks in white shirts or factory workers in blue shirts, they are more concerned about their current work and life. But it is inevitable that they will still talk about some topics about Tangshan.

"...If it doesn't work, just take them all over. It's always more peaceful here. You see, our province is called Thai Binh, next to it is Vinh Ninh Province, and to the south is Vinh Binh Province. Listen, it sounds like Tai Binh is peaceful. It’s so nice to be in peace and quiet.”

"Isn't it just saying that we still have peace here? How else can we say it? The emperor still has foresight."

As soon as the passenger wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt finished speaking, someone said something over there.

"It's nonsense. Taiping, Yongning and Yongping are the three provinces of Nanyang. There is only a president. How can I be the emperor?"

"Same, same, anyway, I feel that no matter what, as long as we can live a good life, the emperor, what's wrong with the emperor, I even starved to death as a brother before the Chairman, the emperor not only gave me enough food, If you still live in a big house, in your eyes, he is the great president, but in our eyes, he is the emperor who deserves to have a memorial tablet for immortality!"

The people in the carriage started talking to each other one after another. Yu Zhide was not surprised by this. Although they were noisy, it was just talk. After all, everyone knew that what was going on at the moment was Good times don't come easily.

Borneo has its own national conditions. There are special company zones, kingdoms, and the three provinces of Nanyang. There will inevitably be some disputes.

If you don’t accept it, there’s no problem, you can leave. It’s true that Borneo is short of people, but it’s also true that there’s no shortage of people. At the beginning of the year, Borneo’s population had already exceeded 400 million. In just half a year, Borneo’s population is already close to The number has doubled to more than 760 million, and hundreds of thousands of immigrants are now arriving every month.

It is precisely because of the influx of large numbers of immigrants that the current situation in Nanyang has become increasingly stable. Even the Javanese who once clamored that "Borneo is ours" no longer clamor.

Nothing more than that they suffered many bombings and they felt the gap in strength. More importantly, more than 90% of the population here are Tang people. Whose is Borneo?

Of course it belongs to the Tang Dynasty.

"The more tense the situation in Tangshan, the more immigrants there will be..."

Thinking of what he saw in the newspaper, Yu Zhide couldn't help but sigh. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, the influx of a large number of immigrants also means that countless people in Tangshan have been displaced...

At this time, the bus arrived. After Yu Zhide got off the bus, he walked straight towards a nearby clothing company. This was a clothing company that specialized in processing ready-made garments. As soon as he entered the factory, he heard the sound of the electric sewing machine. Roaring, those electric sewing machines with paint shining under the lights have the word "PFAFF" on their bodies. These are sewing machines produced by PFAFF Sewing Machine Company. This company was once a German company, and not only the machines were moved to Nanyang , and later the brand was acquired. Today's PFAFF sewing machines are not only used for personal use, but also exported to other countries. After all, before the war, "PFAFF" was already a famous brand that was not inferior to the American Singer. However, the current "PFAFF" is from Nanyang, and "BMW" "Likewise, these brands all hide the story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich.

Most of the female workers who work hard at the sewing machines are from Japan. In this way, the "trainees" have to work 12 hours a day, and their wages are only a pitiful two yuan.

But even so, a steady stream of Japanese female workers come to Borneo to dig for gold every day.

When Yu Zhide walked into the manager's office, the company manager Sun Wei said with joy as soon as he saw him.

"Commissioner Yu, you came just in time. I just received a quota order from Global Trading, 10 shirts,"

"Congratulations, Boss Sun. One hundred thousand shirts is a big order. How about it? There is no problem with production capacity, right?"

"There is definitely no problem with production capacity."

However, Sun Wei still hesitated.

"The problem is that the company hopes that I can reduce the cost of the shirts by more than 60%, saying that these are cheap shirts sold to workers. According to the current cost, they are not cheap, but you know, reducing the cost by 60%, I tried many times but it didn’t work, at least I couldn’t do it.”

"so what?"

Yu Zhide thought for a while and asked.

"Are you looking for some technicians?"

"Absolutely. Our Taiping University has a clothing department. There must be someone there who can help. I think, I think..."

Sun Wei seemed a little hesitant. He was a businessman, and the threshold for university... was too high.

"So, Boss Sun wants the teachers and students of Taiping University to help you solve this problem, right?"

"Yes, yes, I can provide money, yes, I can provide money to fund their research..."

The technical level in the university is high, and being able to pay them to help solve technical problems is definitely a matter of making money but not losing money. However, their company is a small company. Will the door of other universities be opened to him?

At this time, of course we have to rely on the help of these specialists from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

Yu Zhide's answer was quite refreshing.

"Okay, I'll contact them when I get back. I should give you news soon. Cooperation between companies and universities is also normal now. I'll contact them for you, and then you can communicate with each other."

What are the real changes in Nanyang? In fact, cooperation between schools and enterprises is becoming a very common thing now. In the past, universities were universities and enterprises were enterprises. What kind of connection is there between them?

But now, under the leadership of the government, things are changing. In the future, entrepreneurs will become more and more accustomed to cooperating with universities and corresponding professional institutions to improve their technical level.

This change will eventually contribute to the rise of the entire Nanyang...
