Chapter 344 The Transformation of Nanyang (Third update, please subscribe)
What does the Earth look like?
The earth is actually a small broken ball.
If, after World War II, there were reconnaissance satellites looking at the earth from space, what would people see?
From Germany to Italy to Japan, cities on 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 after being devastated by war. There are piles of rubble everywhere. On the charred ruins, both the invaders who once 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 for a common goal...construction!
Yes, enough blood has been shed. After paying the price of tens of millions, what do humans need to do to turn this little broken ball into something beautiful? Some want to allow themselves and their families to leave the ruins of the past and have a roof over their heads so that they will not 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 were quickly installed. In standard factories, although it will take time for large-scale conglomerates to be completed and put into operation, small factories are being put into operation one after another. Nanyang, which once only had rubber gardens 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 With a slight smile on his lips, 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 was already the largest in Asia.
To some extent, this needs to be "thanked" to Japan. Before the war, Japan's textile industry was extremely developed, with more than 11 million cotton spindles and more than 1.7 million woolen spindles. There are hundreds of thousands of looms.
However, since its surrender, the occupying forces have dismantled 80% of its textile equipment, and Nanyang has dismantled almost 60% of its production capacity. In fact, many of them belong to friendly forces, but what about friendly forces? The demolition was not done professionally. Later, the two parties 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. road.
"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 car came. , when Yu Zhide and others crowded into the bus, the newspaper seller over there shouted again, vaguely seeming to be talking about the 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 really doesn't work, just take them all over. It's always more peaceful here. You see, ours is called Thai Binh Province, next to it is Vinh Ninh Province, and to the south is Vinh Binh Province. Listen, It sounds like peace and tranquility, that’s great.”
“Isn’t it just that we have peace here? How else can we say that the emperor has foresight?”
< br>As soon as the passenger wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt finished speaking, someone said something over there.
“Nonsense, Taiping, Yongning, and Yongping are the three provinces of Nanyang. There is only a president, so where 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, Living in a big house, in your eyes, he is the great president, in our eyes, he is the emperor who deserves to have a memorial tablet for immortality!”
The people in the carriage then started talking to me. He spoke softly, and Yu Zhide was not surprised by this. Although they were noisy, it was just talk. After all, everyone knew that the good days now were hard-won.
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 is no problem, you can leave. It is true that Borneo is short of people, but it is also not short of people. At the beginning of the year, Borneo had already exceeded 4 million. It has only been half a year. Europe's population has nearly doubled, exceeding 7.6 million, and hundreds of thousands of immigrants are now pouring in every month.
It is precisely because of the influx of large numbers of immigrants that the current situation in Nanyang has become more and more 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 is, the more immigrants will be..."
Thinking of the statement he saw in the newspaper, Yu Zhide couldn't help but sigh. For a moment, I can't even tell whether this is 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 words "PFAFF" on them. 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, so 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 excitement as soon as he saw him.
"Commissioner Yu, you are here at the right time. I have just received a quota order from Global Trading, 100,000 shirts,"
"Congratulations, Boss Sun. One hundred thousand shirts is a big order. How about it? There is no problem with production capacity, right?"
"There must be 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, I have tried many times to reduce costs by 60%, at least I can’t.”
“So?”
Yu Zhide thought for a while and asked.
“Are you looking for some technical staff?”
“Absolutely. We have a clothing major at Taiping University. There must be someone there who can help. I think, I think... ”
Sun Wei seemed a little hesitant. He is a businessman, and the threshold for university... is too high.
“So, Boss Sun wants the teachers and students of Taiping University to help you solve this problem?”
"Yes, yes, I can provide money, yes, I can provide money to support their research..."
The technical level in the university is high, and being able to pay them to help solve technical problems is definitely something that can only be earned. It's a loss, but their company is just a small company. Will the door of other universities be open 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 will contact them when I get back. I should give you news soon. Cooperation between companies and universities is also normal now. I will 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...
