Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 631

While Nanyang was using public opinion to resolve external pressure and avoid being involved in the Peninsular War, Li Yi'an himself was of course doing very important things, such as inspecting the south, and enjoying the sun and beach with Stana, Ji Li and the children. .

Of course, there is nothing more important than spending time with your family at this time.

Of course, there is also official business. Isn't he worried about the transfer of Nanyang's industries to Malaya?

"Industrial transfer is not really about moving industries out, but about phasing out backward production capacity."

After saying that, Li Yian turned his eyes to Zhang Yunlin who was standing aside.

"Director Zhang, you are in charge of the Textile Industry Department. Do you know about our equipment?"

In order to prevent Japan's economic recovery, he has already worried about it. He even sacrificed time with his family, and specially invited officials from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to learn some information from them.

Seeing that Your Excellency bypassed the chief and asked him directly, Zhang Yunlin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, this is the first time he has met Your Excellency.

Seeing this, Li Yian quickly comforted him.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to understand the basic data."

Making any decision is not just about making decisions, but also requires the support of data. After all, the economy is not about playing cards.

"Your Mightiness,"

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yunlin began to recall the data.

"This year's cotton yarn output will exceed 55 tons, of which only 25 tons are produced by new air-jet spinning. The equipment used in the remaining 70 tons is basically from Japan, which is the old equipment we demolished back from Japan. Equipment, 30% of that equipment is made in Japan, and the other 30% comes from European and American manufacturers. Its technical level is roughly equivalent to the level of the mid-s, and some equipment is the level of the s..."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunlin added.

"But in the weaving industry, although 70% of the production capacity is provided by Japanese machinery, those equipment are basically Toyota G-type looms. Although they were invented in the s, after many improvements, It remains a world-class loom.”

The Toyota G-type loom mentioned by Zhang Yunlin is the G-type automatic loom invented by Sakichi Toyoda, which provides many new functions such as automatic threading. In 27, the Toyota G-type automatic loom became popular in the entire Japanese textile industry once it was put into production. Before the invention of the Toyota G-type loom, a worker could only operate 2-3 power looms at the same time, but now he can operate 25 power looms at the same time. A Toyota G-type automatic loom. Two years later, he transferred the patented technology of Toyota's automatic loom to the British Pratt Company, which was a leader in the world's textile industry at that time, and received a transfer fee of up to 10 pounds.

After Japan surrendered, in order to avoid being liquidated, Toyota took the initiative to transfer technology to Tangshan, and sent technicians to assist China Textile Machinery Company in manufacturing Toyota G-type looms, while Nanyang... well, it was almost the same - they moved away directly. All the equipment of the factory was taken away, and 5071 drawings of Toyota looms were taken away. Then the Southern Textile Machinery Company and Nanyang Textile Machinery, which produced air-jet spinning machines, were established in Nanyang and became the two leaders in the Nanyang textile machinery industry. The loom currently produced by Nanyang is its D-type loom that has been improved many times, and after improvements by German and Japanese technicians, the new generation E-type loom has also been put into production.

"Keep the advanced ones and eliminate the backward ones. This is the Toyota G type, which has also been improved after several generations. The old ones can be transferred and the new ones can be kept. Of course, this transfer is slow. At the beginning, those can be Garment factories that use old sewing machines and other old equipment have been moved to Malaya. When recruiting shareholders, try to focus on Chinese businessmen..."

For Malaya, Li Nian has his own plans. Different from other regions, the mainstream population in Malaya is now Chinese - taking Malaysia as an example, of the total population of 500 million, Malays account for 50%, and Tang people Accounting for 38%, Indians accounted for 11%, but this statistics does not include Singapore, and the Tang people are generally relatively wealthy and have a high average education level. If Singapore is included, the Tang people accounted for nearly 45%, surpassing the Malays at that time As a proportion of people, Malays now account for only 42%. .

Historically, in order to prevent Malaya from falling under the control of the Tang Dynasty after independence, the British merged Sarawak and Sabah into Malaysia. This allowed the Malay population proportion to exceed 48%.

Now, in Malaya and Singapore, Tang people are definitely the mainstream, and because of the red wave in Siam, hundreds of thousands more Tangshan people have immigrated to the Malay Peninsula. Now the proportion of Tang people has reached 47%, so as long as there is a slight increase Adjustment can basically guarantee that Malaya will become another Chinese-speaking country!
In the past, in Siam, limited by its strength, Nanyang could only withdraw after intervening, but it is different now. Nanyang has enough strength and influence to intervene in Malaya. Historically, there are still 7 years before Malaya becomes independent. Years, what does Nanyang need in these 7 years?
The first step is to lay out the economic layout - to further enhance the economic strength of the people of Tangshan, Malaya. And this state is achieved through industrial transfer.

"Recruiting Chinese businessmen to participate in equity?"

Zuo Xiaohan said doubtfully.

"If we transfer industries to Malaya, there is no need to recruit local shares. In terms of capital, those companies can invest independently. After all, these are small companies with small investments."

Waving his hand, Li Yian took a puff of his cigar and said.

"General Manager Zuo, this is not about the amount of capital, but for the common interests of the entire Tang Society. What we are pursuing is not just the profit of capital, but that all Tang people can benefit from development, not just Not only the Tang people in Nanyang should include Malaya, Indonesia, Myanmar, and the Philippines. By improving their economic strength, they can further enhance the influence of the Tang people, and this influence should be in all aspects, not just economic. , also includes politics..."

After a pause, Li Yian thought of another era, when the influence of the Tang people was declining in Southeast Asia, and they were even massacred. Now that Nanyang is here, no one should dare to risk the world and infringe on the interests of the Tang people, but the Tang people still need to further expand their influence. The influence of the military and political circles is not just economic.

But economy is the basis of everything. By continuously improving the economic strength of Tang people's society, it is a mutually reinforcing thing to improve the entire social status of Tang people.

"Is your Excellency planning a strategy for Malaya and Singapore?"

Almost subconsciously, an idea suddenly came to Zuo Xiaohan's mind. After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively said.

"Your Excellency, when I visited the UK a few months ago, I had some discussions with the Colonial Secretary. The UK has already made corresponding plans for the future of the Straits Settlements. They believe that the future of Malaya should be decided by the local people. This means that within the next few years, Malayan independence will be inevitable,"

"It is precisely because of this that we need to increase the influence of the Tang people in the local area before they become independent. Although the Tang people now have a great influence on the local economy, they do not have a great impact on the local people. We need to employ people through factories Malays, increase their control and influence over the Malays!”
