Chapter 596 National Day Ceremony
Tiananmen Square was already bustling with people. The golden sunlight shone on the Tiananmen Tower, gilding this ancient building that witnessed history with a layer of glory. In the square, people from all over the country surged like a tide, their faces filled with irrepressible smiles.
"Here they come! Finally here!" someone in the crowd shouted, causing a commotion. Everyone stood on tiptoe to see what was happening on the tower.
In the center of the square, a military band was tuning its instruments, and melodious music echoed over the square. Representatives from all walks of life, dressed in festive attire, sat in designated areas, their eyes all focused on the Tiananmen Tower. In the distance, the People's Liberation Army lined up neatly, waiting for the order to review the troops.
The entire square seemed to be paused and everyone held their breath.
Following that long-awaited announcement!
The square was immediately boiling with cheers, slogans and applause that merged into a sea of joy. Countless five-star red flags fluttered in the air, and the sound of salutes was deafening, as if they were celebrating this great moment.
At this moment, Tiananmen Square became a sea of joy. People hugged and cried, wished each other well, and celebrated this hard-won great victory.
Then, the People's Liberation Army parade troops marched in neat steps past Tiananmen Square, demonstrating the powerful strength of New China.
Seeing this moment, Yin Xinjun was already in tears.
On the ground, infantry formations from various units, tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery slowly passed through Tiananmen Square.
In the sky,
130 aircraft of various types from the Air Force roared past!
People were waving and cheering crazily towards the children of the People's Liberation Army. From today on, the Chinese people, who had suffered from the bullying of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucracy, overthrew the three mountains and finally stood up!
After the celebration,
Director Chen called Yin Xinjun to his office again. He was in a good mood today, with a big smile on his face. Not only was today a happy day, but this year's grain harvest was great. Due to the extensive use of chemical fertilizers in Northeast China and North China, this year's grain output has increased by 20% again.
For ordinary people, food is the most important thing. With food, everyone can have enough to eat and be motivated to build a new China. In addition, this year, the synthetic ammonia plant has been completed and put into production with a production capacity of 450 million tons. There are 10 synthetic ammonia fertilizer plants under construction.
The raw material for these fertilizer plants is coal, and China has abundant reserves of coal!
Director Chen personally made a cup of tea for Yin Xinjun.
"Thank you for the gift package you brought us!"
This time, Yin Xinjun was invited to observe the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, so naturally he would not come empty-handed. He directly brought a hundred cars, including 30 buses, 30 off-road vehicles, and 40 pickup trucks!
Yin Xinjun smiled.
"Leader, why are you being so polite to me? The property in Mulan Special Zone belongs to the country as well. If you need anything, just ask!"
Director Chen said with a smile,
"Before the National Day, a large number of factories were completed and put into production in Changchun, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Shijiazhuang and Jinan. The higher-ups are very satisfied!"
"Yes, in three years at most, all the industrial chains in Mulan Special Zone can be replicated here, and the supply of various commodities will become more and more abundant!"
Director Chen said happily,
"Now, our Economic Commission has also decided to make a big move. The Ministry of Railways has planned 17 new railway lines, and the Ministry of Transport has planned a five-year plan to build 1 kilometers of transportation trunk lines each year. The country also plans to build a number of heavy industries, steel mills, chemical plants, automobile factories, and power plants. All provinces are now gearing up to make big moves!
It's just that funds are tight. The central bank plans to issue another 10 trillion yuan of banknotes next month to increase liquidity. Do you feel any pressure?"
Every time banknotes are issued, Director Chen has to seek Yin Xinjun’s opinion, because the supply of goods in Mulan Special Zone will affect the prices across the country!
“Issuing banknotes will inevitably lead to rising prices, but appropriate inflation is good for economic development!”
Yin Xinjun recalled the deflation he had encountered in his previous life, and it was still fresh in his memory. Deflation is very destructive to economic development. Assets depreciate, people are unwilling to spend money, and companies cannot make profits, forming a vicious cycle!
Director Chen joked,
"I didn't realize you're quite knowledgeable about economics! I think the same thing. There must be moderate inflation! Considering that your Mulan Special District has contributed so much to the country, the leaders have specially instructed to allocate 500 billion yuan to your Special District as a subsidy!"
"Thank you for your concern!" Yin Xinjun said with a smile!
Director Chen added,
"We have too little gold reserves. Almost all of the gold was transported to Taiwan by the Kuomintang. Therefore, our RMB does not follow the gold standard policy and is not linked to gold. I think as long as our material supply is abundant, our RMB can also be strong. Don't you think so?"
When Yin Xinjun heard the word "gold", his heart moved, because he had a secret, there was a gold mine in his space, it was a reward mine, within three months, he chose a gold mine!
Every day, we can supply 500 gold bars, each weighing one pound! We have accumulated 70 bars so far.
In all these years, he has only used gold once!
That was when the Mulan Special Zone was just starting out, Yin Xinjun took out 5 gold bars and put them in the bank as capital to supplement the shortage of development funds!
He did not use the rest. The Mulan Special Zone soon got back on track. In addition, there was an abundant supply of other materials in the space, so there was no need to use gold at all!
Although he thought about it for a while, for some reason he didn't say it out loud, because he always felt that now was not the time to use the gold!
"You are right, Director Chen. There are thousands of factories of all kinds in Mulan Special Zone now. With the addition of a number of factories in North China, the supply of goods will become more and more abundant. The government may face the problem of liquidity depletion!"
Director Chen said,
"That's right. Last month we discussed the National Five-Year Economic Plan. After the first draft is out, you will have to help me with it!"
Yin Xinjun lit a cigarette, and suddenly he remembered something.
"Director Chen, the shipbuilding industry also needs to be developed. I have a batch of blueprints here. I suggest building shipyards along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi in South China. The transportation infrastructure must also be quickly developed. The shipyards should be directly connected to the train!"
The biggest advantage of South China is that the climate is mild and construction can be done all year round. Unlike the Northeast, when winter comes, only factories are in production and many things have to stop!
Yin Xinjun himself is considering buying a house in South China and moving there in the winter!
"Okay, your suggestion is very good. As far as I know, the troops are also preparing to cross the sea for battle, but the navy is too weak, so they have temporarily stopped!"
"Well, Director Chen can choose a coastal city in South China, and our Mulan Special Zone will be responsible for the construction and strive to build a second special zone!"
Director Chen also became interested!
"Okay, I'll report this to my boss tomorrow!"
Yin Xinjun said again,
"I suggest that we should actively develop foreign trade and exchange what we have with other countries. Now many of our industrial products can also be exported!"
Director Chen nodded.
"Today, more than 10 countries have recognized us, and I am considering establishing economic and trade relations with them!"
"Director, as long as the raw materials are usable, we will import them in large quantities, and then we will export industrial products in large quantities. This is the most cost-effective deal!"
The two chatted in the office until the evening, had a simple meal in the cafeteria, and continued chatting until 10 o'clock in the evening, when Yin Xinjun got up to say goodbye!
