The oil extraction industry is a traditional advantageous project in Northeast China. The original industrial center was in Yingkou. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan forcibly moved the oil extraction industry to Dalian, making Dalian the center of the new oil extraction industry. This can also be seen from this.
The profits in this field are so huge that the Japanese have already started to grab them directly. Not only do they want guns, but they also keep the oil pressing plants under their noses, for fear that others will get involved.
Zhang Tinglan estimated based on current data that Japan exported more than 150 million kilograms of soybean oil through Dalian. According to this trend, by 1920, it could exceed 200 million kilograms. More than 20 kilograms of soybean cakes could be exported in one year.
More than 15 million yuan.
The specific profits of the entire industry are difficult to estimate, but it is certain that at least more than 30 million profits flow into Japan's pockets every year, which is more than the fiscal revenue of the entire Fengtian. The cost of building the Japanese battleship Nagato is only more than 40 million days.
It’s only 1 yuan, which means that in the oil extraction industry, a super battleship can be built in almost one year.
The more he learned about this industry, the more tempted Zhang Tinglan was. He had done a lot of homework before, conducted a small number of trial plantings on the farm, and acquired many small oil mills. However, Zhang Tinglan knew that these small actions were not enough to sway the Japanese.
foundation, and Fengjun did not have the strength to compete with Japan in the oil extraction industry.
However, this time the Japanese openly engaged in war blackmail, and the two sides were on the verge of a quarrel. Moreover, Fengjun's military strength had been greatly improved. Normally two or three Japanese divisions would not be able to defeat Fengjun. With this confidence,
Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to attack the soybean industry.
Zhang Xueliang listened to Zhang Tinglan's introduction and his eyes widened. He calculated silently in his mind and was immediately frightened by the profit.
"As long as we hold this industry in our hands, we can support at least ten divisions of troops, and the equipment can be replaced with the best. If it is used for education, there is hope for primary and secondary schools in the three northeastern provinces. If it is used for immigration,
, we can accommodate at least three to five million people a year!"
While he was calculating this account, others were also calculating in their minds. Tens of millions of tax dollars were too tempting. If they could get it, Fengtian's fiscal revenue would more than double. This is simply
It's a windfall from heaven.
Zhang Tingshu also said loudly: "Brother, we must take the oil industry back from the hands of the Japanese. The worst we can do is fight with the Japanese again. With this money, we can train as many troops as we can and run as many factories as we can."
Brother, if you had told me earlier that there were so many profits, I would have led my men to Dalian and snatched back all the oil mills!"
"Grab your big-headed devil!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "Lushun Dalian is a fortress that the Japanese have run for many years. It has both land and sea capabilities. Not to mention the current strength of the Fengjun army. No matter how many times more troops are there, we can't take it down. Besides, we have
We cannot force the Japanese to go to war with us, so this matter must be done skillfully to shake the Japanese monopoly bit by bit."
"Tingshu, your brother is full of bad ideas, let's just listen to him. Don't bother with this!" Zhang Xueliang laughed at the side.
Zhang Tinglan looked at the endless black land again. How much wealth is contained in it. God is still favoring the Chinese people. The key is that the Chinese people have to live up to their own expectations and keep their own wealth, instead of being like history.
The Japanese occupied it in vain and turned it into a base where they used war to support war.
"If you want to seize food from a tiger's mouth, you must study the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. The Japanese have a monopoly on the oil extraction industry in the three northeastern provinces. They rely on two treasures. The first is the Dalian outlet, and the second is the advanced oil extraction technology. They
Using the chemical leaching method, the oil yield is high, the meal cake contains less residual oil, the processing cost is low, and the economic benefits are high. Moreover, the quality of the soybean meal is high and the feeding effect is good. Our manual oil mill has no competitiveness at all. "
"My humble opinion, according to what you said, the Japanese have monopolized technology and the market, so we have little chance of winning!" After all, Zhou Xinyao comes from a political and business family, and her vision is very unique, and she immediately pointed out the key to the matter.
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "That's true, but this is China. There is one thing that the Japanese cannot monopolize, and that is the production of soybeans. As long as we control the raw materials, the initiative will fall into our hands."
In later generations, commodity-producing countries often have monopoly on pricing power. For example, the United States can greatly influence international food prices. Australia also has iron ore giants and a specialized Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
However, China now does not even have basic sovereignty and independence, so it cannot quickly and effectively control the soybean trade in the hands of the government through administrative orders, so it can only use other means.
"This year, Jilin farms have planted more than one million acres of soybeans. Including the planting areas in Fengtian and Heilongjiang, the total has exceeded two million acres. It is estimated that the total output will be close to 300 million kilograms. This is no longer a small sum.
, can completely affect the purchase price of soybeans. By next year, if we double the planting quantity, we will have enough chips to influence the soybean market!"
This is the benefit of building a farm. The organizational efficiency is much better than the previous decentralized small-scale farmer economy. Originally, soybean cultivation in Fengtian was scattered and farmers had no sales channels. The Japanese only need to set up purchase points in certain places. After farmers harvest,
They can only walk dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles to deliver goods, suffer hardship, and endure the exploitation of compradors.
Just last year, the Japanese deliberately did not announce the time for purchasing soybeans. As a result, many old farmers had to wait for several days with soybeans, and some elderly farmers even froze to death at night.
This is also a common method used by great powers to monopolize Chinese agricultural products. At the beginning, they will offer higher purchase prices. After defeating Chinese competitors and confirming their monopoly status, they will collude with compradors and squeeze them desperately.
Chinese people.
Since there is no help from the government, the common people can only endure it. At least soybeans can earn a little more than other things, and can be directly converted into funds. No matter how many grievances they have suffered, the common people can only endure it. Not only soybeans, but also other economies such as cotton and tobacco
This is true for crops, but Chinese farmers have no other way out and have to sell their products to them.
Zhang Tinglan uses major farms to plant soybeans in large areas. He will also set up a large number of purchase points to directly compete with the Japanese, forcing them to raise the purchase price and pass the profits to the people.
"My humble opinion, your idea is good, but even if we control the raw materials of soybeans and can raise the price to a certain extent, as long as the Japanese monopolize the oil pressing plant, we will still be controlled by others!"
"That's right, but the mountain people have their own tricks, and little Japan will never take advantage of it!"
Zhang Tinglan was a little confused, and everyone was a little confused. But if Zhang Tinglan didn't say anything, they had no choice but to ask questions. They could only be full of suspicion.
Zhang Tinglan found a few more farmers and asked them about their planting conditions. Many of these farmers were immigrants from the pass, and they spoke with a different accent from the south to the north. But overall, everyone was very satisfied with the farm, and the government had given them very thorough consideration.
Sufficient loans were obtained and seeds and agricultural tools were provided, which was unimaginable in the past.
In addition, everyone has been organized, and it has become much easier to build canals and wells. With water sources and fertile land, everyone is full of expectations for a good harvest.
"Sir, it used to be said that low grain prices hurt farmers. We had a bumper harvest, and grain prices have come down. We need to repay the bank loan with oceans. We are afraid that after working hard for a whole year, we won't get anything, and our efforts will be in vain."
"Don't worry, everyone." Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to the old farmer who asked the question: "Folks, the so-called low price of grain and harm to farmers is the result of the collusion between a group of unscrupulous businessmen and a stupid government. Under Feng Jun's rule, this will never happen.
If there is no problem, we will ensure everyone has a bumper harvest, so that their granaries and pockets will be bulging!"
Zhang Tinglan paused and then said: "The government will implement the minimum purchase guide price of agricultural products within the three provinces. Simply put, the government will provide a bottom line for the purchase of grain. If the market price of grain is too low, everyone can buy all the grain.
If we sell it to the government, the government also needs enough food reserves, and we will definitely not let everyone suffer!"
After Zhang Tinglan said these words, these farmers all showed their sincere joy. For many years, the government has been plundering them in different ways, and now a government that can think about them suddenly appeared. These farmers were very happy, and everyone expressed their joy.
We must give priority to selling grain to the government. This is the simplicity of farmers. Since the government has helped the people, the people must also repay the favor.
Zhang Tinglan and the others visited several farms in succession and were very satisfied with the situation before returning to Harbin.
"Xin Yao, when will you invite your cousin over? I want to discuss some business with him."
"Business?" Zhou Xinyao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Is it about soybeans?"
"Yes, I want the Zhou family to participate in investment."
When Zhou Xinyao heard this, she lowered her head slightly, sent the brewed ginseng tea to Zhang Tinglan, and then said: "I'd like to say, in business matters, you don't have to look at my face and deliberately give any benefits to the Zhou family.
, otherwise the whole family will become lazy and wait for ready-made things. They also have their own way, and they should be allowed to go for it on their own. You also earned this career by yourself."
"My dear wife, you really understand the righteousness, but don't worry, this is not for your sake. I really need the Zhou family's network in Guan."
While talking, Zhang Tinglan cast doubt on Zhou Xinyao, gently sniffed the girl's unique fragrance, and said in her ear: "Daughter-in-law, people say that a good wife at home is better than a good prime minister in the country. I can marry you into the country."
I really don’t know which life brought this blessing to my family!”
"Guang will coax me!" Zhou Xinyao said with a blushing face: "You said you would marry me, but you didn't even think about making preparations. It turns out to be hypocritical!"
"Do you still need to prepare? I'll leave my whole life to you!" As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan was about to knock Zhou Xinyao down. At this time, the captain of the guard Shen Hua suddenly came to the door and whispered: "Sir, the American guests are here!"
