People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Chapter 154 Macroeconomic Measures and Policy Directions

The information about the National Economic Construction Movement was delivered to Lin's residence early the next morning.

After having breakfast, Lin Yi went to the study to look through the books.

It was not much different from what he had expected, although nominally there were two core elements: revitalizing agriculture and developing industry.

However, the majority of the document focuses on industrial development.

One of the key focuses is to encourage private savings, financial transactions, and government guidance.

It was said in a very subtle way, but the meaning was that wealth was concentrated through banks and then released into industrial development.

And the interest rate should be low.

This is essentially a macro-level approach by the government.

This is definitely a huge boon for promoting industrial development.

But looking back through history, a good policy design is only the foundation; whether it can be effective depends most importantly on its implementation.

Lin Yi was not very optimistic about this.

Leaving aside how those bureaucratic capitalists would profit from it, even his drinking buddies in the financial world would skim off a feather from every passing goose.

With the Nationalist government advocating such policies, these guys were the first to reap the rewards.

It will definitely play a role eventually, but the extent of that role is hard to say.

Lin Yi casually tossed aside the documents in his hand and began to ponder them, resting his chin on his hand.

As a businessman, one must make effective use of policies.

For example, revitalizing agriculture and increasing grain production.

Yongli's fertilizer plant can play this card well.

Let's take out a loan first and build branch factories in various places.

As long as the main raw materials are controlled by the alkali plant, there's no need to worry about losing everything.

As for the textile industry, it can also follow the trend.

It would be best to obtain a loan openly and legitimately in the name of the association.

If we can't get it, then negotiating tariffs with the Nationalist government in the future will become a tool of public opinion.

The policies were not consolidated, and tariffs were repeatedly cut one after another. No matter how you look at it, the government is in the wrong.

As for his businesses in Sichuan and Guangdong provinces, he can take this opportunity to try and secure loans.

After all, this is a national document, and both Sichuan and Guangdong provinces are nominally under the jurisdiction of Nanjing.

When the time comes, we'll ask Liu Yuanfu and Chen Bonan to step in, and the banks will inevitably leak some money.

This is something that Song Wenchang and Kong Yongzhi could not stop.

Similarly, Sheng Laosi's troubles with Hanyeping could also be addressed with the help of this major policy.

For industry to develop, the demand for basic materials like steel will inevitably expand.

This is a huge market.

Hanyeping's production capacity is what it is. As long as it fully resumes production, and avoids tariffs and transportation costs, the profit margin will be huge.

Westerners can still figure this out clearly.

At that time, they will inevitably be able to obtain an even higher premium.

It will certainly be much easier for him to form an acquisition consortium.

We can then use this document to our advantage and gain the support of the Nationalist government.

Once a consensus is reached, the Japanese will have nothing to do with it.

With vested interests at stake, Westerners are not exactly saints either.

The Japanese always have to think twice before going against the whole world.

If in the end, Sheng Laosi's shares really do fall into the hands of the acquisition consortium, it will be a good thing for the country.

It's no big deal if he abandons the huge pit he prepared.

You could also take a stake and make some profit for yourself.

After figuring things out, Lin Yi tapped the documents on the table, picked up the phone, and called the Sheng Mansion.

"Seventh Miss, please arrange a meeting with Fourth Young Master."

"Any progress?"

The voice on the other end sounded a little surprised.

Lin Yi chuckled: "Pretty much. In short, the Fourth Young Master needs to hurry back to Hanyang. There are some things he needs to get done first. He should try to get the Japanese to agree first, so that things will be easier to handle later."

Lin Yi's explanation was brief, and Sheng Aiyi didn't quite understand it either.

However, she didn't ask any more questions, and said that she would send Sheng Lao Si to the Sheng Mansion immediately before hanging up the phone.

Just as someone was about to inform Sheng Lao Si, Wu Ma appeared again.

"Miss, the young master has arrived."

"not see."

Just an hour ago, Zhuang Jiutao was stripped of all his positions.

The specific reasons are not for outsiders to know.

Sheng Aiyi was too lazy to make an excuse.

In short, that's what I was told.

Zhuang Jiutao rushed to the door, just as she expected.

But she won't see anyone.

I have no interest in accusing the other party of being a traitor.

She was already showing consideration for family ties and his hard work over the years by allowing him to leave Shanghai with his savings.

"Miss, the young master is kneeling in front of the door."

Wu Ma said cautiously.

Sheng Aiyi's face immediately turned ugly: "Shameless! Despicable!"

She said something irritatingly, and was about to order someone to send him away, but the words didn't come out.

Zhuang Jiutao did this simply because success is always desirable.

Even if it can't be salvaged, it will still damage the Sheng family's reputation.

If you actually let someone teach him a lesson, you'll just be doing what he wants.

However, if it were Sheng Chengze, that scoundrel, who made the move, then there wouldn't be this problem.

Who in Shanghai doesn't know that their older brother has always been prone to acting recklessly?

Is he arrogant and reckless in his actions?

Thinking about it, she found herself both amused and exasperated.

He shook his head and said to Wu Ma, "Ignore him, let him kneel if he wants to."

……

Sheng Laosi and Lin Yi arrived one after the other.

When Lin Yi got out of the car, Sheng Lao Si, with the help of several bodyguards, was grabbing Zhuang Jiu Tao and beating him up.

While hitting him, he cursed, "You heartless bastard! How dare you try to break up the bond between us siblings?"

I'll beat you to death, you bastard!

He cursed and kicked Zhuang Jiutao hard in the crotch.

Standing in front of the car door, Lin Yi watched as Zhuang Jiutao's eyes widened like a bull's, his face turning a purplish-red.

"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Even Song Wenchang is no good enough for you, and you think you're worthy of even thinking about Seventh Girl?"

"Damn it, I'll beat you up every time I see you from now on!"

After uttering a harsh remark, Sheng Laosi straightened his clothes.

He took out a handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and walked towards Lin Yi.

"Brother Lin, do you know this guy?"

"I have met Mr. Zhuang a few times."

"Damn it, that bastard dares to make a move on Ai Yi, he's courting death."

Old Sheng cursed, then quickly changed the subject: "He doesn't even know what kind of person he is. To have even one of your little fingers, Brother Lin, is to think too highly of him!"

Lin Yi: "..."

There seems to be a hidden meaning in his words.

He made a subtle remark, knowing full well the importance of knowing when to stop, as he was a seasoned player in the game of love.

Regardless of whether Lin Yi understood or not, he waved to the bodyguards, signaling them to drag the man away, and changed the subject: "The weather is so hot, you're covered in sweat after just a little movement."

"Who says it isn't?"

Lin Yi echoed, and was about to get down to business with Sheng Lao Si when he heard him say, "Brother Lin, do you know that the United States has recently developed a machine that can blow out cold air?"

"My American friends say it's a summer essential, and it's extremely hard to find in the US."

"Fortunately, my American friend still has some status."

"I asked him to buy a few, and they'll arrive in Shanghai soon. I'll give you one then."

"...Hehe, then thank you, Brother Chengze."

"We're friends, saying thank you would be too formal."

Sheng Lao Si waved his hand generously: "If you ever go to the US, I'll have my friend arrange everything, it'll be absolutely thorough!"
