"Chairman Shao, as long as Gansu gives the railway construction work to Jardine and Matheson, our bank is willing to offer 500,000 yuan as a thank you afterwards."
The person in charge of Jardine Matheson couldn't wait to pass the press conference before the press conference.
Guanxian first found Shao Lizi and negotiated with Shao Lizi alone.
The corner of Shao Lizi's mouth twitched.
Ever since Jiang Li instructed him to release the news about the large-scale railway construction in Gansu, these thousands of kilometers of railways include the purchase of railway tracks, trains, and the production of future trains and locomotives in Gansu.
They are closely related to each other.
With an investment of no less than 20 million US dollars, the cost of building a railway in Gansu, a backward and remote inland area, is even higher than in the southeastern coastal areas.
Although I have some doubts about Jiang Li's ambitious plan, after all, the funds consumed are too huge.
At present, the national crisis is facing us, and so much money is better spent on building railways than on military expansion and preparation for war.
Since Jiang Li and Huang Xiansheng took actual control of Gansu, Ning, and Qinghai, their investment in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, infrastructure, and education in the three provinces has been dozens of times higher than before.
It involves all areas of people's livelihood at this time.
Including those machinery purchases, the funds directly involved are hundreds of millions of dollars.
And Zang Shiyi still controls tens of millions of cash brought from Fengtian.
The scale of investment leveraged reached approximately US$145 million.
With such a huge cash flow, for countries at the peak of the economic crisis at this time, commercial investors rushed to Lanzhou like sharks smelling blood.
Shao Lizi was overwhelmed for a while.
Jiang Li, who was originally busy inspecting the military situation and expanding the formation of the special force, had to put down military affairs at this time to help Shao Lizi share the pressure.
I have tried to persuade him, but since the money comes from Jiang, Jiang Li can spend it however he wants.
Shao Lizi sighed.
His position as provincial chairman was jointly recognized by Yang Hucheng and Nanjing.
In terms of relationship, he favors Nanjing more.
At this time, Nanjing had heard some rumors, and Shao Lizi was asked to try his best to promote the flow of funds from the northwest to the industrial industry instead of using them to purchase ordnance.
Obviously in Nanjing's eyes, the 15th Route Army's use to purchase arms was far more harmful than its use to develop industry.
Following Jiang Li's idea can be regarded as satisfying all aspects.
If Jiang Li knew what was going on in Nanjing at this time, he would probably cover his mouth and snicker.
He spent all the money he had on buying ordnance.
Although he could be strong for a while, no matter how much ordnance he had, he couldn't transport it out because of lack of transportation.
Even if Jiang Li had a hundred King Tiger tanks, he still couldn't carry them out.
It is not much different from scrap metal.
First of all, there is not a sufficient technical team on hand to repair these precious big guys, and secondly, the Republic of China simply does not have enough bridges to support the transfer of this tank team.
For example, when we went to Shanghai this time, King Tiger couldn't move freely on the battlefield.
After all, the transportation foundation of the Republic of China at this time was not comparable to Europe.
No matter how many guys you have in hand, if they cannot be delivered to the battlefield in time, leaving them in a warehouse is no different from scrap metal.
Moreover, if you buy ready-made arms, once the transportation channels are blocked in the future, if the problem of self-sufficiency is not solved, where can the northwest go to buy arms?
Once the current investment in industry explodes with unprecedented power during the war, maybe Nanjing will be able to You will know how superficial your understanding is at this time.
"Chairman Shao, Chairman Shao" the staff next to him called several times.
It only took a moment for Shao Lizi to return to normal after wandering around the world.
Looking at the foreigner in front of him, Shao Lizi smiled lightly.
"Mr.
Johnson, our country is now in a period of extreme crisis.
Every penny comes from the blood and sweat of the people.
At this time, any idea of taking this money as your own is extremely sinful, so I would like to thank you."
Thank you for your kindness.
As for the railway construction throughout the northwest of the Republic of China, let’s open the bidding.”
"Really?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Chairman Shao, don't think about it anymore.
We can even increase the benefits to Chairman Shao."
Jason said in surprise.
According to the experience left by his predecessors, it is usually difficult to do business in the Republic of China without using part of the money as kickbacks.
After negotiating the business, these backward and greedy people refused just because the kickback was not strong enough.
"Mr.
Johnson.
My time is limited.
Let's meet at the bidding meeting later."
Shao Lizi didn't have the patience to wrangle with Jason anymore and directly issued an eviction order.
"I am very happy to have reached a cooperation agreement with your company.
I think this is great news for our country that is still unable to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Those who have survived because of the production of chemical fertilizers will appreciate your company's generosity.
And grateful.
Northwest will never forget your company’s friendship.”
Jiang Li stood up enthusiastically and shook hands with Witzenri in front of him.
While Shao Lizi was presiding over the bidding conference for the construction of the Northwest Railway, negotiations between Jiang Li and Wei Jiang Enli from Germany on purchasing equipment to build a large-scale fertilizer and chemical pesticide factory in Tianshui were also successfully completed.
Similar to the previous negotiations, Germany did not make many concessions on price, but it made relatively large concessions on talent input.
This time, the technical team guiding the construction of the Republic of China's fertilizer and pesticide factory included an unprecedented One person has a doctorate degree and two have a master's degree from the University of Berlin.
Two of them were Jewish.
"Helping the northwest establish a relatively complete agricultural system so that the poor people who have no food to eat will not collapse due to hunger.
This is what our company is happy to do, and our company is also happy to cooperate with people like the General."
After completing a large order worth more than four million U.S. dollars, Weitzenri felt relieved.
This time when he went back, the conservative and rigid old-timers in the company would probably have their eyes dropped.
No matter how poor the place is, there is no shortage of rich people.
Jiang Li's ambition to rectify the agriculture in the northwest is the first time he has seen it.
It is foreseeable that the investment in agriculture in the northwest will not stop at the moment.
There is quite a lot of room for cooperation.
"I wish that future cooperation will be as pleasant as ever."
Jiang Li nodded with a smile.
Although Gansu, Qinghai, and Xining are located inland, as long as they have a not too bad army, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to invade.
However, the population in these places is still relatively small.
The northwest has long been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and there will be a certain shortage of workers for a long time.
We can only rely on the large number of refugees and disaster victims who have fled from other provinces.
In the future, building a hydropower station will require hundreds of thousands of manpower, and a railway to Xinjiang will also require one to two hundred thousand people.
Most of the mineral deposits discovered in Gansu are in areas with inconvenient transportation, and a large coal mine often requires tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people
