Take the mall to Datang

It was a month ago that Cheng Zhijie went back to Lanzhou Mansion last time, and now he came to Lanzhou again, bringing good news.

"Yuanshan, you said that you can buy shares in the investment in the steel plant. I found a few founders, and they are all willing to invest. You can't refuse." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Haha, Uncle Cheng is here to give money, so why not accept it, but the investment is very strict, and the princes need to make a decision after careful study. After all, this investment is a lot of money, and the risk is not small." Yuan Yuan kindness.

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Didn't His Majesty allow you to build the railway? If there is such a good thing, we would be fools if we came to participate in it. Don't worry, we brought 500 million yuan this time." Cheng Zhijie said.

"With so much money, I don't know who wants to participate. The Ministry of Economic Development will require everyone to check before investing. In principle, you must come forward in person, or we will visit and sign a contract." Yuan Shan said.

"Don't worry, Yuchi Jingde and others have already said that they will arrange a time to come to Lanzhou in the next few days. Isn't it all right then? Since I came first, can the matter of buying shares be handled first?" Cheng Zhijie said.

"Of course, I wonder how much Uncle Cheng can invest?" Yuan Shan asked.

"50 guan." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Uncle Cheng is good at writing. He invested so much at one time, so he should be optimistic about the profits of the steel factory." Yuan Shan said.

In his heart, he thought that so much money was a bit much, but the Cheng family had such a rich family before he got there. In fact, he overlooked one thing, that is, Mrs. Lu Guogong is from the Qinghe Cui family. It may be very nervous, but with the Qinghe Cui family, it seems that the money is not too difficult.

For Yuan Shan, it doesn't matter anyway, Cheng Zhijie's representative will do. He won't get involved in the specific interests of the Cheng family and the Qinghe Cui family.

"It's indeed a lot, but if all the money is invested in the steel plant, it will be a one-person investment. This makes me a little difficult." Yuan Shan said heartily.

A steel factory does not need so much investment. The ironmaking equipment is blast furnaces and iron pots. A million guan is enough. Cheng Zhijie alone can account for half of the investment. If the investment of 500 million guan is really what he said , wouldn't it be necessary to expand the steel plant several times.

But this is not a big deal, but the construction period will be extended, and a slightly more advanced iron-making furnace can be built, and the production capacity of the steel plant can't be increased.

"Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Economic Development to sign the registration book now." Yuan Shan was straightforward.

Cheng Zhijie was very happy, and the matter was resolved within half an hour.

"Congratulations to Lu Guogong for becoming a shareholder of Lanzhou Iron and Steel Plant." Gao Chunxing and other people from the Economic and Development Department came over to congratulate.

Yuan Shan stopped in front of a planning map, pointed at a building with a small wooden stick and said, "Uncle Cheng, this is the location of the steel plant, very close to Lanzhou Station. After repairing here, transportation will be convenient and fast in the future.”

Cheng Zhijie looked at it very carefully, and saw that the land area on the planning map was not small, and it looked like a county town, so he asked, "Why are there so many concrete buildings near the steel plant?"

"They're all staff dormitories." Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 913 Gao Shilian Wants to Plant Highland Barley

It is much more convenient to do things with money, and recruit from various state capitals if there is no one.

Zhang Wenyi, governor of Lanzhou, is busy with this matter. Lanzhou is ushering in the construction period again. The construction of a steel factory employee dormitory is a huge project. The 1000-person engineering team he convened before is obviously not enough. They are all practicing while working to improve the theory. Knowledge, the progress of the project is slower, but the construction according to the drawings can still be handled.

Gao Chunxing personally presided over the construction of the steel plant. In order to speed up the construction, he found the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce and the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, and asked them to transfer elite backbones to carry out the construction.

The sales volume of the Lanzhou Cement Plant once again broke through, and the interests of the merchant alliance have been greatly benefited. This is the unified purchase price of the Lanzhou Cement Plant suppressed by the Ministry of Economic Development, otherwise they would earn more.

But sometimes for the sake of building intelligence, businessmen have no complaints. After all, they can get so much cement money at one time.

The cement plant is the primary industry in Lanzhou, with the largest economic benefits and scale.

The matter of recruiting personnel from Lanzhou was once again spread to the Western Regions and the vicinity of Chang'an, and even the Tubo people did not refuse to come.

Everything is focused on the development of Lanzhou's economy and the construction of Lanzhou's economy. The business in the urban area is prosperous, and the factories in the suburbs are numerous. Coupled with the continuous influx of population, the hotel industry is very developed. When there are more people, there will be more demand. It became the highlight, and the merchants united to start renting stalls, storefronts, and now there are no more vacancies in the two reserved large shopping malls.

Half an hour later, the founding father's team headed by Changsun Wuji arrived.

Zhang Wenyi, the governor of Lanzhou, Li Junxian, the governor of Lanzhou, and Yuan Shan all came to greet him in person. A large group of people and many family representatives also came.

As soon as I arrived, I went directly to the Lanzhou Hotel to stay and have a banquet.

More than 20 people arranged two large tables. Yuan Shan knew only a few princes of the state, and they were all familiar with him. He was really confused about the rest of the people, and learned a little bit during the meal.

"What kind of Lanzhou will Lanzhou make this time, can it surpass Chang'an City?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Some people are very formal in terms of titles. Yuan Shan knew that he was about to start asking questions, so he immediately said: "I dare not say beyond Chang'an, I can only say that the construction of Lanzhou will be more prominent in certain aspects, such as in the industry. In terms of development, the current scale of the steel plant is several times larger than the one in Chang'an. His Majesty has agreed to let the Ministry of Economic Development take charge of the expansion plan of the Lanzhou Railway. From the current point of view, it will be connected with Jiannan Road, and the railway line will start from The road in Chang'an will continue to be repaired, and the Lanzhou side will join Tuyuhun, Shancheng, Taozhou, Minzhou, Songzhou and other places, and then continue to expand in the northeast direction."

Changsun Wuji was astonished, could the economic and development department bear such a project?

But it is certain that the steel plant will make money right now. Changsun Wuji said softly with a smile on his face: "This time I will also come with the clan elders of the Changsun family. We want to invest in the steel plant. We are willing to sell 50 coins."

Yuan Shan was indifferent, feeling a little uneasy. He suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of rich people in the Tang Dynasty. The eldest grandson's family received 50 guan, and he thought that it looked like he really had to invest 500 million guan.

"No problem, let's go to the Ministry of Economic Development to register tomorrow morning, but it's better to be cautious before investing in this investment, because once the registration is made and the contract is signed, it becomes a fact and you can't go back on it, so it's important to be cautious. Necessary." Yuan Shan said.

The same rhetoric is repeated confirmation, explaining the risks of investment.

"We've already figured it out. The Cheng family dared to invest so much, so why would we care about such a small amount of money?" Changsun Wuji said.

The eldest grandson's family has a rich family property, which is not enviable. Since the family insists on this, Yuan Shan will naturally accept it.

"Okay, I hope the signing will go well tomorrow," Yuan Shan said.

Gao Shilian came over and said, "Let's have a drink, this highland barley wine is pretty good."

"Haha, as long as Shen Guogong likes it, drinking highland barley wine here is good for your health, but wine is wine after all, so you shouldn't drink too much." Yuan Shan said.

The two gulped down their drinks and looked at each other with a smile. Gao Shilian continued: "I've heard about the iron and steel factory. I don't know if my [-] yuan can be used as a share."

Yuan Shan thought for a while and said, "Looking at the current situation, 50 guan is not enough to buy [-]% of the shares, at least [-] guan is needed."

Yuan Shan didn't plan to split the shares again. Originally, Cheng Zhijie's Qian family's Economic and Development Department and the Lanzhou Yamen were enough. Now that Changsun Wuji's 50 yuan was added, it would be much more abundant, but absorbing [-] yuan would not be enough. Forget it, but troublesome.

"That would be a pity. I don't want to join forces with others to purchase shares. When the time comes, things will become unclear. However, I heard that Tuyuhun is going to plant highland barley. I don't know if I can invest in farming." Gao Shilian said.

Yuan Shanxin said that he really has bright eyes, and after thinking about it, he said frankly: "What does Shen Guogong want so much barley for? People in the Tang Dynasty are not used to this kind of grain."

"Haha, if you can't get used to it, you can still make wine. Highland barley wine is sold well in Chang'an. It is said that there is a market in the Western Regions, and the old man does not use highland barley to make wine, but sells highland barley to Lanzhou distillery. What do you think?" , as long as Lan Guogong nods and agrees to purchase the full amount every year, this transaction will be done." Gao Shilian said.

Yuan Shan felt more and more that this Gao Shilian was interesting, and if he didn't have enough funds, he would find another way. Lanzhou's development really wanted to make money not only by investing in steel factories, but also by doing some shop business.

Developing agriculture is a good idea, but the risks are still great.

"Of course there is no problem. It's just that the investment in farming is very risky. Shen Guogong should not invest too much. Of course, these are just some suggestions. It depends on your own decision." Yuan Shan said.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I don't invest a lot here. I just make a small fuss, and just make a small profit every year." Gao Shilian said directly.

"It's really a joke to invest [-] guan in farming or to make a fuss." Yuan Shan said inwardly.

However, highland barley is also food, and the planting area is near Tuyuhun, and most of them are purchased directly from Tubo. We are currently discussing this matter, and Tubo still has a quantity limit on the sale of highland barley. After all, these grains are from Tubo. staple food.

Gao Shilian and Yuan Shan drank several glasses of wine in a row, both of them were able to drink, but Yuan Shan felt a little dizzy. He didn't drink often and faced a table of people, no matter how good his drinking capacity was, he couldn't stand it.

"Ah...hehe...hehe, Uncle Gao is a good drinker, who are you so dark." Yuan Shan drank too much, walked around in the crowd with a flagon, and got closer to communicate with everyone he saw. .
