Fengxian Jiangshan

In this era, the most advanced science and technology are still concentrated in Europe. In terms of technical equipment, in addition to Germany, there are Britain and France. At this time, the United States is actually similar to China in later generations. There is still a little gap.

Wang Tieshan was worried that Chinese workers would not be able to get these items, so he specially brought back a few Russian technicians and asked them to guide the handling.

"Take it easy, take it easy! Don't touch it!"

"Talking about you, why didn't you hear me, lightly!"

Xiong Mengyuan, Chen Qiming and others also joined in the command. They were obviously the ones who cared the most about this batch of things. They had the strictest requirements on those porters. The explanatory text must not be damaged at all, these are the best helpers for them to explore the performance of the machine.

Gradually, more and more things were shipped to Jilin, and some were also shipped to Fengtian. With the arrival of these machines, all the things that I had always wanted to do but couldn't do were now possible. Zhang Tinglan sent a letter to the industrial group At the invitation, Fengtian's main businessmen also rushed over.

Qiao Ruixuan, Liu Shucheng, Song Zhongyi, Fan Xudong, etc., also included Zhou Shutao, the representative of the Zhou family. Zhou Shutao was the eldest son of Zhou Xuexi's elder brother Zhang Xuehai, the grandson of the Zhou family, the leader of the younger generation, and Zhou Xinyao's cousin.

Since the relationship between Zhou Xinyao and Zhang Tinglan gradually became clear, the Zhou family has also formed two schools of thought. Some people support this marriage, and of course some people oppose it. The Zhou family and Beiyang share weal and woe. The traditional old-school figures hope to continue to deepen their relationship with Beiyang , Through continuous marriage, make each other inseparable.

However, there is also a group of people who believe that Fengjun's development momentum is fierce, and the business opportunities in the three eastern provinces are huge. They should use the opportunity of marriage to extend their hands to the northeast, which is conducive to the development of the family. In short, the two sides are arguing endlessly.

This time when Zhou Shutao came to Northeast China, he was also ordered to find out about the development of Fengjun, to see if he had any potential and whether it was worth marrying.

However, after Zhou Shutao arrived in Fengtian, he was hit hard. Don’t look at their family running a lot of factories, but because of the cooperation with Beiyang, they were naturally contaminated with bureaucracy. Financial power, their enterprises can only rely on the support of foreigners.

The situation in Fengtian is quite different. The independent status of Fengtian Bank has given great support to businesses, and these enterprises have generally adopted new management methods, and taking advantage of the precious opportunity of World War I, they sold their products overseas and exported them to foreigners. , in exchange for huge profits.

Then the production continued to expand and completely entered a virtuous circle. The industry grew bigger and bigger. In just a few years, there will definitely be a group of businessmen stronger than the Zhou family in Fengtian, let alone the actual control of the industrial group. Zhou Shutao also had a strong interest in Zhang Tinglan. This person who is much younger than himself has too much magical power.

After the people from the industrial group arrived, Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, we claim to be an industrial group, but we mainly focus on light industry, and the heavy industry is almost zero. Now there is a good opportunity in front of everyone. I am going to We are preparing to build a group of heavy industry enterprises, including coal, steel, metallurgy, power generation, machine manufacturing, etc. I wonder if you are interested?"

When these businessmen heard Zhang Tinglan's words, they also became interested. After this period of operation, they all hold a lot of capital in their hands. It can't last long, and when the war is over, they will face the pressure of the great powers to come back.

Therefore, some ambitious businessmen are ready to invest in heavy industry, but they have no clue, neither machine technology nor factory personnel, so they can only suppress their ideas, but Zhang Tinglan suddenly said that he wants to start heavy industry, and they all came to the spirit .

"Mr. Zhang, it's never wrong to follow you to do business. If you show us a way, the big guy will never frown!"

Zhou Shutao, who was watching from the side, was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to have such a great appeal. He was also very surprised, and wanted to see what kind of touch Zhang Tinglan had.

Chapter 292 Ownership of the Steel Plant

When the capital has accumulated to a certain level, it will naturally develop to the high end. Relying on making clothes and grinding flour, it will never become a huge consortium. It must focus on heavy industry to support the scene.

Zhang Tinglan has been instilling new concepts into these businessmen, so that they can focus on the long-term. From the perspective of the heart, the effect is still very good. These businessmen in the industrial group are already gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

"Everyone, to tell you the truth, this time we got a batch of machines from Russia, and we can set up a batch of factories. However, heavy industry is different from light industry. The investment is large and the payback period is long. Everyone may have a lot of money, but they want to take on such a big job. It is still very difficult to invest, so I made a list of the factories I plan to build and the required expenses. Everyone can take a look and compare their own strengths. Fengtian Bank's loan, but there is a premise that the government must rely on machines to occupy 30.00% of the shares, and usually send people to supervise everyone's operations!"

Zhang Tinglan has worked hard to get a large number of machines from Russia, and he has exhausted his mind. This has been regarded as the seed of Fengtian's industrialization. How could he give it to these businessmen with complete confidence and boldness? Moreover, the strength of heavy industry is closely related to military industry, so we must Maintain a strong grip on these businesses.

Otherwise, if these businessmen have problems in their operations, wouldn't Zhang Tinglan's hard work be wasted in vain!This is not a generation where factories are everywhere, and it doesn't matter if one or two close down. This is the Republic of China, and every factory is extremely important, and there must be no mistakes.

In fact, at first Zhang Tinglan wanted to turn all the factories into government and military ownership, and adopt complete militarized management, but later he considered that the investment was too large, and he completely handed over to the government.Without a professional businessman in charge, it is easy to lose efficiency, which is also a loss for Fengtian.

And once this happens, it will still be a constraint on the next industrial development, so Zhang Tinglan chose a compromise method of shareholding influence. 30.00% is just an average value. Among the most important factories, such as steel plants, the shareholding ratio It is necessary to increase it to 40.00% five, so as to ensure a relative holding power.

The businessmen present were also willing to cooperate with Feng Jun.After all, with Zhang Tinglan behind them, they will have a bottom line in their operations, and they don't have to be afraid of risks.

Everyone is reading the list carefully, looking for projects that interest them and are within their own capabilities.Chief among these factories was the Anshan Iron and Steel Works.This is also the core in the core, without the steel.There is no way to talk about industrialization.

In addition to Anshan Iron and Steel Works.There are also Jixi Coal Mine and Jilin Power Plant. A machine manufacturing plant is to be established in Fengtian, and a metallurgical plant is selected in Changchun.

These are the main large factories, and there are also a number of small factories that mainly produce some supporting parts.Such as tools, nuts, wrenches, etc., in addition to diesel engine factories, cement factories, bicycle factories.There are many nail factories, and the list has a lot.

In fact, the production of bicycles is not a heavy industry. The reason why Zhang Tinglan wants to build a bicycle factory is also due to military considerations. Bicycles are much stronger than humans in carrying weight. When necessary, they can be used as mobile tools, especially in the Northeast Plain. , when the bicycle is necessary, it can play a big role.

Moreover, the cost of bicycles is much cheaper than that of war horses. Horses have to eat grass every day, and one war horse is almost equivalent to the consumption of two soldiers, but there is no need to worry about bicycles. As long as you have a large number of bicycles, Zhang Tinglan is ready Promote it among the Feng army so that everyone can ride a bicycle.

These businessmen were still watching, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan found Zhang Tinglan together.

"Young Master Zhang, in the past we were mainly engaged in business, and we had never set up a factory. However, we are thinking about not falling behind. Now that we have some capital in hand, we are ready to enter heavy industry."

"Of course I support it very much, but I don't know what project you two chose?"

"The iron and steel plant, we are going to take down the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. We dare not say anything else. Now we can raise 300 million yuan of funds, and then invest in it one after another. We can take out 500 million yuan of funds within a year, and then borrow from the bank. , can definitely take down the factory!"

Both Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan were the first to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan. In the past two years, their net worth has doubled, especially after getting involved in the smuggling trade, the capital is even more abundant, and each mouth is 500 million, let alone It is a businessman from Fengtian, and even Shanghai and other places may not have such a big hand, which shows that they are determined to win.

"I have a different opinion. To set up a factory, you can't just rely on strong capital, but also have a new idea. I also want to undertake this Anshan Iron and Steel Factory!"

Just when Zhang Tinglan was about to nod, suddenly a young man walked over quickly. He was in his early twenties, very handsome, but one sleeve was empty and one arm was gone.But he didn't show any signs of depression. On the contrary, he came up to Zhang Tinglan in a state of energy from the inside out, and raised his hand as a military salute.

"Old sir, Xia Han, former soldier of the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, salutes you!"

When Zhang Tinglan saw this young man, he seemed to have a little impression. This was his old subordinate, so he also smiled on his face, patted Xia Han on the shoulder, and said with great emotion: "I still remember you, fighting is very important." Brave, you left the army, and I approved it. Last time you tricked the Japanese and fooled them with scrap copper and iron, you made a great contribution. You must know that this incident was an excuse for us to drive Meng Enyuan away. The development is of great significance. Now that I have mixed into the industrial group, it seems that the business is doing well, and my soldiers are doing well wherever they go!"

When Xia Han heard that Zhang Tinglan remembered everything clearly, he was also very moved, his face flushed, and he hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to the cultivation of the old officer. When I lost an arm, I thought this life was over. It was you who helped me to save my life." I arranged for Xingye Trading Company, how could I be where I am today. Since the last operation, I used a little money in my hand to open a machine repair shop, and now the scale has expanded several times."

"The idea is good. Fengtian has built a lot of factories and some machines, but there is no maintenance factory yet. We have to rely on foreigners for everything. The cost is too high, so it won't work. You have identified a business opportunity!"

"Old sir, in fact, the maintenance factory is mainly targeting foreign technicians!" Xia Han blushed a little, lowered his voice, and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Old sir, I kidnapped two senior technicians in Russia and brought them back to China , Let these two guys work for me, without them, my repair shop can't run, you won't hold me accountable?"

Zhang Tinglan also nodded, with a gratified smile on his face, Xia Han is indeed a bit bold, and he coaxed and deceived a lot of Russian technicians, but every time he planned carefully and arranged everything well Only then dare to do it.

This Xia Han relied on his own ability to abduct two technicians here. This is indeed a bit courageous, but Zhang Tinglan appreciates it very much. In this era, any successful entrepreneur is daring, and he also brings There was a lot of bloodshed. Take Rockefeller, Morgan and other consortiums as examples. At the beginning of their business, they also did all kinds of bad things, specializing in some unfair competition, and only pretended to be dogs when they developed.

"Forget it, but Russia is about to mess up now, and those two technicians may thank you!" Zhang Tinglan said, "You are planning to grab the right to undertake the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant."

"That's right!" Xia Han showed a firm look in his eyes, and he said, "Old sir, during this period of time, I have traveled a lot, and even went to Japan to inspect the situation of many factories. I think that if we want to build our own steel factory, the first thing we have to face is the pressure from the Japanese. They will definitely try their best to destroy it. Therefore, I think that to set up a factory, we must not only have strong financial resources, but also have Indomitable will, daring to work hard, and modern business philosophy, in these two aspects, I think they have advantages over Mr. Liu and Mr. Qiao, and the right to undertake the steel plant should be handed over to me!"

Xia Han stepped in and caught Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan, who were already full of confidence, by surprise. When they set up a factory, they mostly considered investment issues, how to compete, and how to fight their way out under heavy pressure. Indeed, they didn't think about it. Yes, and before that, they had no experience in running a factory, which was also a major weakness.

Xia Han seized their weakness and launched a fierce attack: "Old sir, after I set up the maintenance factory, I plan to develop it into a machine manufacturing factory in the next step. If I take down the steel factory, a complete chain will be formed. And for this reason, I also traveled to the Beijing-Tianjin area several times and contacted a few overseas students. They are all Japanese students studying in industry. It’s just that there is no place for them in our country, and these people can’t be like Like those slickers, they can find a job casually, and they are all ready to go to work in Japan. I have kept them all, and I just pointed at them to do a big job!"

In Xia Han's words, a key message was revealed. China is extremely short of science and engineering talents, but there is no room for them to display their talents in the country. Many international students want to serve the country, but there is no way out. In the end, everyone will live. Therefore, I have to work for the Japanese to make a living. Many Japanese companies have Chinese skilled workers.

This has also become a tragedy in Chinese society. On the one hand, there is an extreme shortage of talents, and on the other hand, limited talents are still being lost. Once caught in this vicious circle, the country really has no hope.

"Xia Han, you are doing the right thing. I will immediately set up a special entrepreneurship support fund to try to retain our talents!"

When Zhang Tinglan said this, he looked at Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan, and said with a smile: "I don't think you need to compete, you can just join hands to run this steel plant. You two are shareholders and are responsible for paying the money. Xia Han is the general manager and is responsible for In terms of specific operations, Anshan Iron and Steel Works will continue to expand in the future, and it is not something that one or two companies can handle, what do you think?"

Chapter 293 It Comes Down

A factory with an annual output of more than 3 tons of steel needs about 300 million yuan if all the investment is taken into account. The biggest investment is machinery and equipment, but the price is high, and because of the blockade of the rising countries by the big powers, even the Japanese Can't get advanced equipment, let alone China.

However, at this time, the machinery and equipment have been obtained, and they have been included in the shares. The investment in the steel plant will be reduced by a large amount, and the cost is not that big. But Xia Han made some calculations, and then said: "I think we can't just focus on the factory. For this cost, we need to control all the mines in our hands, and the more we control, the better. The price is still cheap now. When large-scale construction is started in the future, the demand for steel will increase, and the price of the mine will rise. Now invest more. Lost!"

After talking with everyone, we have agreed to Zhang Tinglan's suggestion that Xia Han will hold 40.00% of the factory's shares and act as the general manager. In addition, Fengtian will hold [-]% of the shares and become the largest shareholder, while Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan will divide up the remaining shares. shares under.

After the plan was finalized, Xia Han proposed to purchase a large number of mines, and Zhang Tinglan also agreed very much. The Japanese had been watching the iron mines in Anshan for a long time. On the one hand, Zhang Tinglan also suppressed the Japanese, forcing them to highlight part of their coal and iron resources.

Now that I want to set up a steel factory, I will use all these resources. In the future, the scale of the steel factory will continue to expand, and the more resources I have, the better.
