The extremely lively economic development conference only received some disapproval in the aspect of education. Although the Republic of China had been influenced by the New Culture Movement and various new ideas had changed, the importance of education by the people was clearly not as high as the level of enlightenment in the Omi countries!!
However, the other aspects of the meeting received everyone's support. Whether it was military or economic, the future development plan of the Zaozhuang autonomous government had clearly taken shape. What they needed to do was to thoroughly implement these industrial plans!
Starting from July 1st, the roads, factories, and various construction sites near Zaozhuang seemed to have gone crazy, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. The captives captured from Tang De Train Station were also used by Gu Weiming. For example, the mines, the work at heights, and all the extremely dangerous construction sites were completed by these Japanese captives.
In Gu Weiming's words, the lives of the Japanese were worthless. Even if they died, it was none of his business. After all, the Japanese still had so many people in the Jiaozhou Peninsula. However, the Japanese had never asked about the disappearance of the infantry brigade at Tangde railway station. This made Gu Weiming feel strange. Could it be that the Japanese were so extravagant that they ignored the strength of an infantry brigade?
Or was it because the puppet Manchurian government had not been established for long, so the focus of China's work was placed on the northeast, causing Shandong to be in a free-for-all mode? After thinking about it, this was the only result.
Gu Weiming happened to be here today to inspect the Zaozhuang textile factory. The first, second, and third textile factories were currently the most profitable industries under the Iron Blood Army, and had already earned a huge amount of money for Gu Weiming. As for the third textile factory, it had also been producing the stockings designed by Gu Weiming in a hurry for the past half a month!!
Ma Dexian, the factory manager of the No. 3 textile mill, kept praising Gu Weiming when he spoke of him. Gu Weiming was their God of Fortune. The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 factories had absorbed more than 1,000 workers. As peasant women, they were usually very good at needlework. Now that they had changed to textile machines, they were even better. Coupled with the implementation of the piece-rate wage system, these female workers were all crazy!
"Weiming, why don't we build a new factory? There are a few villages nearby. After hearing about our textile factory, they all want to work here. We have no choice.”
Ma Dexian led Gu Weiming to tour the entire factory. Although the exterior of the factory was simple and crude, and some parts were even a little worn out, the machines were brand new. Gu Weiming naturally knew that once the enthusiasm of the workers was mobilized, it would be a huge storm that would destroy the world!!
"The fourth textile mill in Tangde is already under construction, and it's on a larger scale. There's no need to expand the Zaozhuang area anymore. Let's make some supper for them tonight, even if it's tortillas!!”
Gu Weiming seemed to always put the interests of the workers first, which really made people look at him in a different light. Therefore, not only the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, but also all the villagers admired him greatly. Moreover, he was a national hero. A telegram on the Songhu battlefield made Gu Weiming's reputation extremely outstanding, so he did not reject the arrival of the Iron Blood Army!
"Alright, Wei Ming, I'll do as you say!!”
"By the way, Factory Manager Ma, is the first batch of stockings ready?”
Gu Weiming asked. He was also very tempted by the 200,000 pairs of stockings. As long as he opened up the market in Europe and America, the ocean would really surge in. Women in Europe and America would go crazy for stockings!!
Now, Gu Weiming was only worried that the 200,000 pairs of silk stockings would not be enough to be distributed. Therefore, the textile factory in Tang De was also under construction. The huge profits from the military uniforms, new clothes, and silk stockings of the textile factory encouraged Gu Weiming to continue expanding production.
"We will load the truck at night and head south. From Lianyungang in Jiangsu, we will transport it to the US through the merchant ships of the Ying people. All the procedures have been arranged.!”
Gu Weiming nodded. During this period of time, Gu Weiming had spent quite a bit of money on the nearby government offices. He had to be flexible. There was nothing he could do about it. In every dynasty, which dynasty wasn't like this…In the Republic of China, it was just that things had gotten worse!
The port that Gu Weiming chose was not in Jiaozhou or Shanghai, but Lianyungang. The first port was not far away. The second port was in a remote area. There was no big city like Shanghai nearby, so it became a three-way street. Whether it was the Nanjing National Government or the European and American powers, their influence in Lianyungang was extremely limited, so Gu Weiming could have more room to play!
However, to Gu Weiming, it was an excellent port. More importantly, Gu Weiming could send a secret army into Lianyungang Port and occupy it completely!
In the future, the export goods from Zaozhuang could be transported to the Omi country through this port!!
Gu Weiming returned to his office in Zaozhuang and summoned Liu Dingguo. This time, he was not just selling the stockings to Omi Country…
"Dingguo, for this trip to Europe and the United States, pick a few people who can speak foreign languages. Moreover, they must be able to bluff and try their best to fool people. The European countries have not completely emerged from the economic crisis. A large number of factories and shipyards are still in the stage of waiting for jobs, so we need to buy the machines of these large factories from them at a low price!!”
"Do you understand?"
Gu Weiming thought for a moment and said. If it wasn't for the economic crisis, the September 18th Incident would definitely be delayed by a few years. However, this economic crisis had also given Gu Weiming an opportunity. Many private shipyards in the United States had gone bankrupt. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would be punished by the heavens. Therefore, the first large amount of foreign exchange reserves earned from the stockings would be used by Gu Weiming to buy all foreign industrial machinery. The hundred years of industrial revolution in the European countries would definitely start from scratch. Much easier!
Liu Dingguo nodded. To put it simply, it was to sell stockings at a high price and purchase industrial machinery at a low price. This trip to Europe and America was for this purpose!!
"Alright, then go down and do your work first. Keep an eye on what happens tonight!!!”
