The so-called Friendship Medal of the Chinese Soviet Republic is so valuable that it is almost unimaginable. This is the highest honor awarded to Yu Hua and Zhuang Qianding at the formal subject level of the organization.
The Soviet Republic of China was founded in 1931 and finally in 1937, according to historical development, it will be transformed into the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government along with the Red Army's takeover and reorganization, and this has become history.
The Friendship Medal received by Yu Hua and Zhuang Qian Ding is an honor.
As for the performance of the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology buyout contract, the payment of 150,000 yuan for the technology buyout is also a huge expense for the entire organization.
Perform calmly and act according to the contract. This is the proper attitude.
"Medal of Friendship..." Yu Hua was slightly stunned when he heard the reward content of the red-headed document read by Chen Kang. He looked back at history and searched for information in his mind, but did not find any trace of the Medal of Friendship. For the Red Army in this period,
The highest honor is the Red Star Medal, which is divided into first, second and third levels.
Darling, could it be that this is a specially designed medal for me and Professor Zhuang?
Things are getting serious.
Yu Hua knew that the theme of this meeting was to reward based on merit, but he never expected that in addition to the technical buyout fee, the organization also specially awarded the Medal of Friendship.
Others don't understand, but Yu Hua fully understands the gold content of this medal. If he is lucky enough to live for decades, this medal as a special souvenir will not be a problem in terms of money alone, and the value of honor is immeasurable.
.
In the name of the Soviet Union, with the reality of friendship, there are only two of them in the world.
Professor Zhuang had a look of surprise on his face. He also didn't expect the situation of the Friendship Medal. While he was surprised, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion...
He had never experienced this feeling while working in Nanjing. Not only was he given abide by the rules of the contract, but he was also given spiritual recognition and affirmation. It was thousands of times better than an environment of intrigue and superiors snatching technical achievements.
"Bah bang bang!"
While the two were stunned, a loud and warm applause suddenly erupted, resounding throughout the cave meeting room.
"Professor Zhuang, Mr. Yu Hua, congratulations to you. The Friendship Medal was awarded after the meeting. This is a check for the technology buyout fee. It is currently stored in the border bank's vault and you can withdraw it at any time."
Chen Kang put down the red top-secret document with a smile on his face, and then solemnly took out two checks and placed them in front of their desks: "The boss said, please don't do anything like Zigong.
Be sure to accept the money in compliance with the contract."
When traveling to Zilu, don’t do what Zigong did!
The implication is self-evident. Don’t refuse this technology buyout fee just because of the objective factors of the border area’s financial difficulties. Otherwise, things will turn into Zigong redeeming people. Many people who intend to defect to the base area but live in difficulty
Technical talents will be deterred by this.
Now that a contract has been made, you must act in accordance with the contract, firstly, with integrity, and secondly, let others see the real and effective benefits.
The check bank came from the Border Bank, with a total amount of 150,000 silver dollars, one check of 120,000 silver dollars, and one check of 30,000 silver dollars. For ordinary people, this amount of money is an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Today, one dollar of legal tender can still buy a piglet. According to the exchange rate between silver dollars and legal tender, the purchasing power of an ocean is extremely high.
The conference room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua.
The focus of the audience!
When the words came out, Zhuang Qianding was about to say something when he heard the words. He immediately understood what he meant. He took a deep breath and said with a solemn face, "Thank you, Director Chen, and thank you, boss."
After saying that, he collected the personal check of 30,000 silver dollars.
According to the technology buyout contract, he enjoys 20% of the technology buyout fee.
The financial difficulties in the border area were obvious to all. Zhuang Qianding originally did not want to accept the money, but when he heard the idiom Zigong redeems people from Chen Kang, he immediately understood.
Whether it is for yourself or the government, this money must be accepted.
"Thank you." Yu Hua smiled and did not refuse. He calmly picked up the check and put it in his pocket under the gaze of everyone.
Collect money and settle the matter.
When Chen Kang saw this, a comfortable smile appeared on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief, okay...
As Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua accepted the money, from now on, the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology officially belongs to the base area.
"Okay, let's talk about the second thing. Currently, the base area's finances are severely tight, and it has reached the point where it cannot make ends meet. The main expenses are in our military industry bureau and the army. Our superiors have instructed us whether we can manufacture some industrial products and sell them to foreign countries to earn funds.
"Chen Kang paused, compiled his words, and continued, giving the second main thing about today's meeting.
There was a hint of solemnity in his words.
financial.
Or finance.
This is a topic that cannot be avoided, just like the capacity limitation problem faced by the Military Industry Bureau.
Since the launch of the entire pre-war large-scale production movement, financial funds from the base area have continued to flow out like water. Millions of silver dollars and thousands of taels of gold were eventually exchanged for part of today's heavy industry. From a performance perspective, the Yancheng Sulfuric Acid Plant,
Liushugou Industrial Zone, Ansai Cement Factory and Explosives Factory, Yulin Iron and Steel Factory, two highway projects, etc., the large-scale production movement has achieved remarkable results, which has greatly improved the overall strength of the base area and the Red Army troops.
However, for the base area, the financial problem lurking in the dark like a bomb has not only failed to be solved, but has become more serious and is about to explode.
The reason is very simple. No matter which factory it is, all are currently in a state of investment. The industrial products they produce are not sold externally to earn funds, and a positive cycle industrial system cannot be formed.
There is only input but no output, so what should we do?
Now there are only two choices left for the base area, either to stop all current industrial construction and relieve financial pressure, or to manufacture industrial products and sell them externally in exchange for profits, forming a positive cycle industrial system.
In fact, this kind of industrial economy is extremely unfamiliar to organizations that have been in contact with the rural economic system for a long time. The various achievements of the large-scale production movement have come so quickly that they have reversed the situation and made many people in the base areas fundamentally
Unable to adapt and recognize, and then make effective judgments.
Where did the base area’s previous financial funds come from?
In the beginning, it was the same old routine. When I first entered northern Shaanxi, I beat local tycoons for money.
Although the wealthy landowners have a lot of money, this kind of thing is not like leeks that can grow in a few days after being cut. It can only be used for a short time and cannot be used for a long time.
Nowadays, the base areas have basically abandoned the method of confiscating land from landlords and distributing it to poor peasants and laborers, and instead adopted the "Two-Five-Year Rent Reduction" strategy to collect taxes.
The so-called 25% rent reduction means that regardless of the form of tenancy, 25% of the original rent will be reduced. This is a no-brainer for the large number of tenant farmers and poor peasants.
The Second Five-Year Plan rent reduction and tax collection provide stable and long-term economic sources and greatly alleviate financial pressure. However, when faced with industrial construction, their own shortcomings are exposed.
What flaw?
That is the economic foundation of the Second Five-Year Plan rent reduction and tax collection. It is the rural class with the small-scale farmer economy as the main body, rather than the relatively wealthy urban industrial and commercial class. In terms of the tax revenue currently controlled by the base area, it is completely unable to support the ongoing industrial construction funds.
required.
Small water pipes cannot irrigate thousands of acres of land. A poor northern Shaanxi region cannot support industrial construction. Under normal circumstances, if you want to realize the industrial development of a place, you need to pool the efforts of the whole country.
But this condition was completely unrealistic for the base area in 1937.
In addition, in addition to its own weak economic foundation, the base area also faces the biggest external threat of the Japanese invaders invading China.
The top priority is to produce industrial products through existing factories and sell them to other countries to earn profits and raise funds for the base area.
"Manufacturing industrial products..."
When Zhuang Qianding heard this, he thought: "Has your superiors arranged for specific industrial products to be produced?"
"No, this is just an instruction. We need our Military Industry Bureau to discuss and determine the types of industrial products that can be produced before reporting it to the superior." Chen Kang shook his head: "Everyone brainstormed and thought about what industrial products can be produced to make money based on the current manufacturing capabilities of the Military Industry Bureau. The boss is right
I said one thing, I will try my best to make money."
Make money!
Make money!
Make money!
After saying important things three times, Chen Kang understood that the base area's financial pressure had reached a critical moment, and the solution to this problem lay with the Military Industry Bureau, which consumed the most funds.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell.
What industrial products can you make money from?
Faced with this problem, the conference room fell into silence, and everyone stared.
They don't do this kind of thing.
"Old Lu, tell me what you think." Chen Kang looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan stood up with a headache, scratched his head, and said: "Uh... how about we build a cigarette rolling machine to make cigarettes? The demand for cigarettes is very wide. If you want tobacco leaves, you can buy them outside and farm them yourself. I
I heard the profits are extremely high.”
"Cigarettes, okay." Chen Kang nodded when he heard this, and wrote it down in his notebook with a pen in his right hand.
