Chapter 101 No Money? Where Did My Money Go?
"No money? Where did all the money we made go?"
When Executive Yuan President Chu Anshi and Finance Minister Meng Zhenhua came to the door and said they were out of money, Jiang Hua immediately asked in astonishment.
During the land reform in the past few months, the landlords' homes were searched and their property was confiscated. Not counting the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, house deeds and land deeds, the value of the money, silver and gold alone exceeded 100 million yuan.
In Jiang Hua's opinion, this money can last for at least a year or two.
But it's only been a few months and they said they had no money. This made Jiang Hua feel a little uneasy.
Being broke is no joke.
Meng Zhenhua smiled wryly and replied, "Chairman, we are not crying poor. Right now, there is less than 3000 million yuan left in our Finance Department's account.
The basic monthly expenses alone are around 10 million.
If we don’t increase revenue and cut costs, the funds in our account will only last for three months at most.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hua frowned.
We have indeed spent a lot of money recently, not to mention that we have been fighting all the time.
Although ammunition and supplies are borne by the base funds, the government also has to pay, but the proportion is relatively small.
If the government were to pay for the military expenditure, it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
The main areas of spending are still transportation, education, industry, agriculture and other aspects.
In terms of transportation, construction of multiple roads and railways is being carried out simultaneously.
Not to mention education, the expenditure on compulsory education is not a small amount.
There is some output in the industrial sector at present, but due to the short time, it has not yet formed an advantage in scale.
It is a stage where input exceeds output.
Only after these factory projects are completed and put into production will there be a wave of explosive growth.
For example, the previously established Dasong Investment Group cost 30 million yuan, and now it has spent more than 10 million yuan to invest in various industrial fields.
Dasong Investment Group's main investment is in the heavy industry sector.
As for agriculture, it goes without saying that fertilizer production basically operates at a loss and relies on government subsidies.
So even though more than 100 million yuan is a lot of money, you still can't help spending it on various aspects.
Just as Meng Zhenhua said, open source is needed.
As for cutting costs, that is definitely not an option, at least not at this stage.
We are currently in a stage of rapid development. If we reduce capital investment, development will inevitably slow down.
So we can only rely on open source.
Currently, the most profitable and fastest-growing products are undoubtedly arms, followed by medicines and other industrial products.
As for arms, it is definitely not possible in the country.
Therefore, there is a need to develop international arms business.
The Renaissance Army has become so popular recently that all countries have taken notice. We might as well try to make a fortune by selling arms.
The huge profits from pharmaceuticals will always be at the forefront, both now and in the future.
Moreover, compared with arms, the market for medicines is larger and not as sensitive as arms.
Therefore, if you want to open source, you should mainly look for solutions in the area of medicine.
The first thing that came to Jiang Hua’s mind was penicillin.
But now is not the time to take it out.
The main reason is that the foundation of the Renaissance Army is still too shallow, and taking out this miracle drug will only benefit Western capital.
It is impossible to maximize the profits from penicillin.
For example, if you want to sell penicillin internationally, you need other people's channels, and they can use this channel to lower the price.
So once the sales channels are opened up, there will be no such concern.
Although penicillin doesn't work, another blockbuster drug definitely can.
It is also an antibacterial drug, although its effect is not as miraculous as the panacea, such as penicillin.
But before penicillin came out, it was the best antibiotic.
This thing is sulfamethoxazole, also known as Prontocil.
Among them, Prontosil was not discovered until 32, and it was not until 35 that sulfonamides made from Prontosil were put into clinical trials.
And now Bailang Duoxi has just been discovered.
This is also an appropriate time to take out sulfonamides.
In terms of huge profits, sulfonamides are worth more than gold.
It can open up international pharmaceutical sales channels while making huge profits.
It is not a problem to sell a small piece of sulfa for three or five dollars.
In that era, you could buy a 100-kilogram pig for three or five dollars, and a sheep only cost two dollars.
So it is no exaggeration to say that sulfonamides are more expensive than gold.
First squeeze out the value of sulfonamides, and then take out penicillin when the profits are not so high, so as to maximize profits.
In fact, Jiang Hua had already made plans for this a long time ago.
Currently, Dasong Investment Group wholly controls a pharmaceutical factory named Minsheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
This factory specializes in the production of sulfonamides. All equipment has been installed and is waiting to recruit workers to start production.
As for raw materials, they are easy to obtain, and the cost will become very low as the output increases, so even if the price is very low, the profit is still not small.
Sulfonamides were also identified as one of the main channels for open source.
Subsequently, the Song Dynasty Investment Group invested 50 oceans to establish Guguo Medical Technology Co., Ltd., which is a superior department of Minsheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
This company specializes in drug sales, pricing, investment, research and development, etc.
Medical companies will open branches in the international market and sell products at high prices to pharmacies, hospitals, secondary distributors, etc., earning huge profits.
"Within a month, our drug can be put into clinical use. Once it passes the clinical trial, sulfonamide can be put on the market."
One month is already a fast time, as long as I can get the money within three months, it will be fine.
As for arms, Jiang Hua still has some concerns in this regard.
Weapons and medicines are only part of open source. There is also a major open source method that can make money very quickly.
This thing is a bond!
To put it simply, it means issuing short-term, medium-term, medium-term or long-term bonds in the name of the Renaissance Army.
其中短期债券一般是1年以内、中短期是2-3年，中期是3-5年，中长期为10年。
The corresponding interest rates to be paid are also different.
Issuing bonds is also one of the main ways to solve the fiscal revenue crisis.
If the previously unknown Renaissance Army had issued bonds, no one would have paid any attention.
The reason is simple: the risk is too high.
Because this requires endorsement with credit.
If the issuer does not keep its promise, then the bonds you buy will be no different from a piece of waste paper.
But the current Renaissance Army is different. It has established the United Self-Government Army and has a solid ruling foundation.
He showed his might and beat Northern Xinjiang and Fuso, and his territory was expanded in a short period of time.
The strength of the Fuxing Army is obvious to all, and the future is promising.
In terms of credit, the Renaissance Army has not been exposed to any scandals in the financial field.
The materials used in the currency produced and issued domestically are also sufficient.
Therefore, if bonds are issued at this time, I think there will still be many people willing to claim them.
I can’t say how high it will be, but around 50 million should be no problem.
With these 50 million, we can temporarily solve the problem of the Lianzi government's lack of funds for development, and even accelerate development.
Once taxes on industry and agriculture are collected, the problem of fiscal imbalance can be solved.
How do the warlords in various places solve the problem of fiscal revenue now?
The most important way is actually just one thing - opium!
The increasing area of opium cultivation has also become the main source of income for warlords in various places.
Take the Southwest Army for example. Their fiscal revenue last year was 80 million oceans, half of which came from opium cultivation.
Jiang Hua would never touch this aspect and he hated it deeply.
Otherwise, it would be very easy for the Fuxing Army to solve its financial revenue and expenditure problems.
As time passed, the Saibei Army began to become turbulent.
The main reason is that the Japanese added fuel to the fire.
In mid-April, Yang Changhui, a veteran of the Saibei Army, had a big quarrel with Saibei King Jiang Yulin in the Marshal's Mansion.
Although Yang Changhui's reputation in the Saibei Army is not as good as Jiang Yulin's, he controls the Saibei Army's Third Army, an elite force with a strength of more than 8.
This quarrel was also seen as the beginning of the two people's breakup.
But Jiang Yulin doesn't think so.
The two are sworn brothers who have been through life and death for many years, and quarrels will not affect their relationship.
So Jiang Yulin could only focus on comforting her.
But what Jiang Yulin didn't know was that at this time Yang Changhui had completely defected to the Fuso people.
Jiang Hua also noticed the changes in the situation in the northern border.
He felt that the outbreak of civil unrest might not be far away.
Moreover, in the Zhili region, the Japanese were also quite active.
According to the intelligence collected by the intelligence department, the Japanese are constantly sending reinforcements to Zhili.
Since Yuan Shicheng had already suspected Yang Kaitai, he kept a close eye on him.
Therefore, no information came out from Yang Kaitai.
However, judging from the intensity of the enemy's troop mobilization, I'm afraid there are quite a few Fuso troops stationed in Zhili.
All these signs indicate that the Japanese are likely to take action in the near future.
And the target is their Renaissance Army.
"Looks like it's time to expand our army again!"
This military expansion mainly focuses on the army.
The Air Force already has enough fighter jets and cannot afford to maintain any more.
You should know that the fuel needed for these planes alone costs 50,000 yuan a day.
In order to operate the entire army, about 200,000 yuan of funds are needed every day.
If he didn't have more than one million in funds every day, he really wouldn't be able to support this army.
Currently, the main forces of the army are the First Corps and the Second Corps.
The First Corps is composed of the First Army and the Second Army.
The subordinate division-level units are the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division, the 4th Motorized Infantry Division, the 8th Mountain Division, and the 10th Mechanized Infantry Division.
The Second Corps is composed of the Third Army and the Fourth Army.
The subordinate division-level units are the 5th Motorized Infantry Division, the 6th Motorized Infantry Division, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 8th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 9th Motorized Infantry Division.
Excluding the independent units directly under the corps and the second-line units, the army currently has ten main divisions.
Two mechanized infantry divisions, one mountain division and seven motorized infantry divisions.
The second-line troops have now expanded to six divisions, from the 6th to the 100th Divisions.
The troops of these six divisions belong to the second-line garrison.
Among these six divisions, four belong to the First Corps and two belong to the Second Corps.
The next direction of the Fuxing Army's expansion is likely to be the northern frontier and Zhili, so the number of garrison troops will continue to increase.
The initial plan is to increase the size to 10 divisions, numbered from 100 to 109.
That means increasing the size of the force by another four divisions.
Considering the population of the current area under its jurisdiction, there is absolutely no pressure to increase the size of the division by four more.
Then comes the expansion of the main force.
Jiang Hua decided to further strengthen the strength of the First Corps, including adding an armored division for advancing on the northern plains.
The next step is to expand the size of the artillery force, expand the independent heavy artillery brigade into an artillery division, and strengthen the unit's medium and long-range support firepower.
In addition, certain adjustments will be made to the artillery models and specifications of the troops.
