20世纪30年代,世界经济危机开始冲击国内经济,很多民族企业的经营陷入困境,地处南粤的广东士敏土厂也深受影响。在陈济棠的统治下,广东省政府为应对经营危机,打着“经济自卫”的口号,采取一系列水泥统制经营措施,通过限制甚至杜绝外国及外省水泥在广东市场销售的方式,达到垄断该市场并造成经济割据的局面,进而为政治和军事割据打下经济基础。 In the 1930s, the global economic crisis began to impact the domestic economy. Many national enterprises were in trouble and the Guangdong Shimin soil factory in southern Guangdong was also greatly affected. Under the leadership of Chen Jitang, the Guangdong provincial government, under the slogan of “economic self-defense”, adopted a series of measures to control cement business in order to cope with the operational crisis and achieved a monopoly by limiting or eliminating the sale of foreign and foreign cement in the Guangdong market This market has created a situation of economic secession, which in turn has laid the economic foundation for political and military separatism.
