Chapter 631
While Nanyang was using public opinion to resolve external pressure and avoid being involved in the Peninsula War, Li Yi'an himself was of course doing very important things, such as inspecting the south, such as accompanying Stana, Ji Li and her children enjoyed the sun and the beach.
Of course there is nothing more important at this time than spending time with your family.
Of course there are also official matters. 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.
Zhang Yunlin couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw that Your Excellency went past the chief and asked him directly. 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 a game of cards. .
"Your Excellency,"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yunlin began to recall the data.
“This year’s cotton yarn output will exceed 550,000 tons, of which only 250,000 tons are produced by new air-jet spinning. The equipment used in the remaining 300,000 tons is basically from Japan. Among the old equipment demolished in Japan, 70% of the equipment is made in Japan, and the other 30% comes from European and American manufacturers. Its technical level is roughly equivalent to the level in the mid-1930s, and some equipment is at the level of the 1920s..."

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 1920s, After many improvements, it is still 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 automatic threading. and many new features. In 2027, 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 100,000 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, and Nanyang... well, it was almost the same. ——Directly moved all the equipment of the factory and took away 5071 drawings of Toyota looms, and then established the Southern Textile Machinery Company in Nanyang and Nanyang Textile Machinery, which produced air-jet spinning machines, and became the leader in the Nanyang textile machinery industry. Two faucets. 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 using old sewing machines and other old equipment were moved to Malaya. Pay attention to when recruiting shareholders, try to focus on Chinese businessmen..."
For Malaya, Li Nian has his own plans, and Not in other areas The same thing is that in Malaya now, the mainstream population is Chinese - taking Malaysia as an example, of the total population of 5 million, Malays account for 50%, Tang people account for 38%, and Indians account for 11%, but this statistic Excluding Singapore, and the Tang people are generally relatively wealthy and have a high average education level. If Singapore is included, the Tang people account for nearly 45%, exceeding the proportion of Malays at that time. Now the Malays only account for 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 with a little adjustment, you can basically guarantee that Malaya will become another Chinese-speaking country!
In the past, due to limited strength in Siam, Nanyang could only withdraw after intervening, but it is different now. Nanyang has enough strength and influence to intervene in Malaya. Historically speaking, it is far from Malaya. There are still 7 years left for Asia to become independent. 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.
“Invite Chinese businessmen to participate in the shares?”
Zuo Xiaohan asked 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, they should further enhance the influence of the Tang people by improving their economic strength, and this influence should be in all aspects, not just economic. , including politics..."
After a pause, Li Yian thought of another era, when the influence of the Tang Dynasty was declining in Southeast Asia, and they were even massacred. Now that Nanyang is here, no one should dare to risk the world. Infringing on the interests of the Tang people, but the Tang people also need to further expand their influence in the military and political circles, not just the economy.
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 to plot Malaya and Singapore?"
Almost subconsciously, Zuo Xiaohan suddenly had such an idea in his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he , said tentatively.
"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. In other words, Malaya’s independence will be inevitable in the next few years.”
“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 Now the Tang people have a great influence on the local economy, but they do not have a great impact on the local people. We need to employ Malays through factories to increase their control and influence over the Malays!”
