Chapter 64 Mixing with sand?
Back at No. 78, Hamyi Road, the yard and living room were full of people.
Wu Lijun sat in the garden and talked with Chen Lichun. Wu Tingjie sat on the sofa in the living room like a master, talking to the same National Army officer and several middle-aged people wearing glasses. The ashtray was piled like a hill, and the beautiful home was chaotic because of them.
"For the people, Qiyuan hasn't made things difficult for you, right?"
"No, as you said the day before yesterday, they are now sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, just waiting to see us jokes."
Chen Lichun didn't ask anything else, pointed to the living room, signaling him to go in quickly. Professor Anderson regarded this as a real person and didn't like their way of doing things. He turned around and went to the embassy without even calling him.
Wu Ting-hung was busier than his brother and had no time to stay here for a long time. As soon as he met, he stood up and said, "For the people, let me introduce him. This is Captain Ruan Zhiren, who just arrived from Hue yesterday; this is Professor Chen Shiguo, and this is Mr. Wu Andong. Professor Guo is an economist and has been teaching at Indochina University. Mr. Dong is a legal expert and has studied in France."
It turned out that it was sent to someone. Li Weimin showed an extremely enthusiastic look and stretched out his right hand and said, "Li Weimin, I'm very happy to know the three of you."
"Hello Mr. Li."
Ruan Zhiren is a soldier. He first gave a French military salute before shook hands with him. Professor Chen Shiguo said excitedly: "Mr. Li, the Industrial Village Plan is not only huge but also great. I am very honored to be able to assist Mr. Li in his work and participate in such a great industrial development plan."
Wu Andong was also very excited. He looked at the more than 20 intellectuals behind him and in the yard and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, we can't wait and really want to start working now."
Nationalism gave birth to a large number of patriots, who were obviously part of them, but they were on the right side and did not choose the Vietnam League, but chose to support Diem.
Of course, support now does not mean support forever.
There were too many people in the living room and it was inconvenient to speak. Li Weimin smiled and suggested, "Mr. Wang, why don't we go upstairs and talk?"
Some things really need to be explained in front of him. Wu Ting-hung agreed, walked up the stairs, and came to the living room on the second floor. Wu Diem smiled and said, "For the people, you are the president of the Industrial Investment Company, the developer and executor of the Industrial Village Plan. You can talk about it first."
"OK."
Li Weimin took out a plan sketch from his study that was completely different from when financing the embankment, and spread it on the coffee table and introduced: "Everyone, the industrial village plan is not only a huge industrial development plan, but also a huge national defense plan. An industrial village is a military base. While secretly developing the national defense industry, secretly trains the reserve force. Our task is very heavy. We must ensure industrial development, take into account national defense needs, and find a balance between the two."
Ruan Zhiren was introduced by his second brother, Chen Shiguo was a middle school classmate, and Wu Andong was a devout Catholic, and they were the most reliable people they could find now.
Wu Ting-hung took over the conversation and said with a serious expression: "Three, there are too many pro-French factions in the national army, including organizations that have secretly developed by the Vietnam League, warlords, and a large number of corrupt officers. The nationalization of the army is difficult and takes a long time. During this period, the government must be prepared."
The main road on the planning sketch is actually an airplane runway, the land reserved on the south side of the main road is actually an apron, the gas station is a strategic oil depot, and the Industrial Investment Company Building is actually a command center and flight command tower... And more than a dozen such industrial villages have been planned from north to south.
Chen Shiguo was stunned for a while before whispering: "Mr. Wang, just developing industry requires a large amount of funds. If you develop so many military facilities and train so many shadow troops, where does the funds come from?"
Wu Ting-jeong and Li Weimin looked at each other and smiled proudly: "The construction of military facilities will be temporarily paid by the Industrial Investment Company. When all the factories in the industrial village develop, they will then pay from the operating income tax paid by the factory by sharing the share with the Co-Investment Company. As for weapons and equipment, I will think of other solutions."
No matter how good it is, it is a reserve. Since it is a reserve, it is not so easy to bring it to the battlefield.
More importantly, the Industrial Investment Company is just a platform equivalent to the "development zone management committee". After all, the one who can truly influence the reserve officers and soldiers is the factory owner, and after all, it is a real benefit.
The better you do now, the more "legacy" you can inherit in the future. Unless your brothers in the Wu family do not intend to be dictatorial, they will not cause grudges from heaven. But this possibility is slim, because this plan is to secretly develop the private army of your Wu family while developing Vietnamese industry and revitalizing the Vietnamese economy, and has nothing to do with the nationalization of the army.
As for finding a group of intellectuals to get sand, I don’t know how to make this wishful thinking!
The Chinese are really not as good as the armed forces, but they are more than the educated young people who have received systematic education. Not to mention the more than 10 million people in South Vietnam, even if the more than 10 million people in North Vietnam are added, the number of middle school students in schools is not as high as that in the Chaozhou Gang and Fujian Gang.
The French regarded Indochina as a development colony, and its focus was on the production and export of raw materials and agricultural products, such as rice, rubber, tea, coffee, pepper, coal, etc.
The French in Indochina had a peak of only 34,000 at its peak (in 1940). Algeria, also a French colony, immigrated more than 1 million this year alone, while the local Muslim population was only 9 million.
There were not many French people and had never thought about industrializing the Indochina colony, so they were not very enthusiastic about education.
From 1939 to 1940, it was the best period for colonial education to develop. At that time, there were only 3 million primary school students, only 5,000 middle school students, and only 700 college students.
After returning to Vietnam after World War II, in order to ease relations with the Vietnamese, and to cultivate more pro-French intellectuals and consolidate French colonial rule in Vietnam, Indochina University in Hanoi began to expand its enrollment scale.
However, the anti-French movement has become increasingly fierce, and primary and secondary education has been seriously affected.
There are more college students, but fewer elementary and middle school students than before, and a large part of them are influenced by nationalist thoughts and all go to the Vietnam League.
With the efforts of the Wugang Guild Hall, the embankment is like a paradise, and the education of primary and secondary schools has almost not been affected. There are more than 6,000 students in Guangyi'an Middle School, and the number of Chinese students in the embankment, including primary schools, is no less than 100,000! As long as they are from Cantonese, Chaozhou, Hakka, Fujian and Hainan, no matter how difficult the family background is, as long as the children are willing to study, they basically all have their studies.
If Chinese schools in other provinces are included, there will be more students in school. The literary atmosphere of the embankment bank is becoming more and more intense. More than a dozen Chinese newspapers don’t know how many submissions they will receive every day, either new style or old style poems, making them look like they are all poets.
Although Chinese people do not have higher education institutions, as long as they are capable, they will send their children to Hong Kong, France or Singapore to study for college, and the vocational education is very good. For example, in Asian vocational schools, teachers teach students the principles of diesel engines, and more than a dozen diesel engines of various types are disassembled. The students listened and started to do it. All the drivers of the Li family fleet were trained there.
The industrial village plan requires Chinese capital, and a large number of Chinese bosses will emerge and accept a large number of Chinese intellectual youths.
The interests are tied together, and with the guidance of the Chinese Youth Federation, it is better to Vietnamese workers and create an atmosphere of family life in China and Vietnam. Not to mention 20 to 30 people, even if it is 20 to 30 or 20,000 or 30,000, even if it is a major change in the industrial investment company, it will not affect the overall situation of the actual control of the industrial village of Chinese people.
But since you are here, and you are so passionate and patriotic, let’s help you do some serious things first.
Li Weimin coughed twice and said extremely serious: "Three, I'm not sure about it. There is indeed a big gap in funds. Professor Anderson and I just returned from the embankment. In order to allow the Chinese on the embankment to invest with confidence, I made a military order to ensure that we will raise 10 million US dollars overseas by the end of the year. They were deeply encouraged and successively promised to underwrite some of the industrial investment bonds.
The issue of refugee relief and resettlement is imminent. In order to make the plan implemented as soon as possible, I plan to wait until the company staff is in place to make the sales of industrial investment bonds the top priority of all work. At that time, a meeting will be held to study and formulate a scientific and reasonable bond sales plan, and the responsibility will be given to everyone, with rewards and punishments.
Rewards for completing bond sales tasks within the specified time, heavy rewards for completing tasks, salary reductions for not completing tasks, and those with problems with work attitudes. In short, the Industrial Investment Company does not support mediocre people, and will not support idle people. Only in this way can the Industrial Village Plan be implemented smoothly and succeed."
