Chapter 755: Raw Material Problem

The potential of the Eastern Machinery Plant is much greater than you think. ”

Feinan looked at them and said calmly: "The press is just the beginning, the goal of the East is to build a domestic basic industrial system, promote the shift of the economic center of gravity of coastal cities to manufacturing, build an industrial power, and make China the world's factory." ”

"Whew!"

Zheng Xingqiao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

In his opinion, Feinan's words were tantamount to a fool's dream, no different from telling Hanako to get drunk and boast that he wanted to be the emperor.

Although he was wary of the success of the trial production of the press in the East, it was only a precaution.

For this newly established Oriental Machinery Factory, he still looks down on it a little bit in his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let a manager find a few random people and arrange to go to the factory to make trouble.

He is engaged in the business of importing and reselling machinery and equipment, and he knows very well how big the industrial gap between China and the West is.

The press is indeed the top priority of the basic industry, but that only makes it possible for the rapid development of the domestic industry.

The real manufacturing strength of China is completely incomparable with that of the West.

Don't say anything else, let's talk about the goods of his Wanchang foreign company!

In addition to the common machine tools, there are also iron bed machines used in fire saws and hardware factories, various machines used in oil room fire grinding, machines for breaking stones and manufacturing foreign materials, various machines for loading and unloading goods, and machines for various agricultural applications.

In addition, you can also buy Dijie Li's steam and electric motors, large and small horsepower electric light machines.

If you are interested, you can also order all kinds of steam and locomotive and engine head, all kinds of passenger and freight cars, elevators carrying people and goods, large and small boilers, all kinds of steamers and small steamboat machines.

So much machinery and equipment, the domestic can be imitated even less than one-third, even if it can be imitated, raw materials and processing equipment are also used foreign goods, the cost is sometimes higher than foreign goods.

With such a level of manufacturing, how can you talk about competition with the West?

It is also an industrial powerhouse and a factory in the world, and it is not afraid of being heard, and it laughs off its big teeth.

Xu Xingquan was afraid that Fei Nan would be angry, so he hurriedly answered: "If Dongfang Machinery Factory can have a talent like Mr. Fei, it will definitely be able to prosper." ”

Fei Nan's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard Zheng Xingqiao's sneer.

He looked at Xu Xingquan and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, believe it or not, within one year, Dongfang Machinery Factory can make half of the equipment in the machinery catalog of Wanchang Foreign Company, and within ten years, the products of Dongfang Machinery Factory will surpass Wanchang Foreign Company in terms of number and quality." ”

Xu Xingquan glanced at Zheng Xingqiao and did not rush to speak.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Xu family, and so many years of hard work have made him exercise his keen observation and strong psychological quality.

He sensed that behind Feinan's aggressive attitude, there was a real intention to seek cooperation.

Having recognized this, he quickly changed his attitude and changed his identity from a self-proclaimed blackmailer to a businessman.

Then he began to ponder the truth of Feinan's words.

Even if he didn't know much about the machinery and equipment industry, he could hear the arrogance of Feinan's words.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but have a little trust in these words.

It's as if the cowhide was blown so big that he had the illusion that "ordinary people don't dare to blow such a big cowhide, and those who dare to blow such a big cowhide must be someone with some ability".

This delusion actually made him think about what would happen if what Fernand said was true.

If all of Feinan's words are realized, and China really becomes an industrial power and the world's factory, then I am afraid that the world's money will be earned by the Chinese people.

He has been a comprador for so many years, and he can see very clearly that when it comes to business, foreigners are really not opponents of the Chinese.

They are too one-size-fits-all to be as flexible as Chinese businessmen.

The reason why they made a lot of money was entirely because their industrial level far exceeded that of China, and their ships were strong and their guns were strong.

If the industry of the Chinese people can really catch up and no longer be coerced by the force of the foreigners, then the Chinese merchants alone can eat the dregs of those foreigners and there are not a few left.

But it's all based on what Fernande said is true.

Could his words be true?

If it was true, then why did he come to talk to himself?

After thinking about it, he finally judged that it might be because of the comprador industry itself.

Let's just say that what he said is true!

The Eastern Machinery Factory has really mastered all the advanced industrial technologies of the West and is able to produce all the machinery and equipment that the West can produce, but the most fundamental problem is still in front of us.

What about raw materials?

Is there so much steel for the Eastern Machinery Factory to produce machinery and equipment?

The company has been basically controlled by the merchants of the Neon Country, and during the European War, most of the iron sand produced by the Hanyang Iron Works was transported by the Neon State.

If domestic machinery factories want to buy steel, they have to buy it from overseas through compradors.

If the Oriental Machinery Factory wants to expand rapidly and develop rapidly, it must not be constrained in terms of raw materials.

In a matter of moments, he guessed Feinan's true intentions.

As a result, Fei Nan, who used the skill of observing words and colors to him, couldn't help but sigh that in the end, the young proprietors who came from a business family were all human spirits, and their brains turned fast.

But it's a pity that I ran into him, and no matter how fast my brain turned, it could only be used by him.

He came in with an air seat as soon as he entered the door, just to create a huge psychological impact, so as to create favorable conditions for his own hypnosis.

This information was originally intended to be instilled into the subconscious of the two of them after hypnosis, but he didn't expect Xu Xingquan to deduce his intentions based on some of the information he revealed.

Xu Xingquan guessed correctly, the problem of raw materials is indeed the biggest problem of Dongfang Machinery Factory now.

The domestic steel production is too small, and several arsenals and machine bureaus will divide the share of one point, and they will be clean, and they will not leak into the market at all.

The raw materials of almost all the machinery factories in Shanghai were bought from foreign firms or compradors, and they were made one after another, and the cost was naturally difficult to come down.

This is the neon nation's vicious attempt to destroy our country.

Five years ago, when Commander Yuan was still alive, the envoy of the Neon State to China tried every means to force Beiyang to meet the 21 unreasonable demands.

If agreed as required, the Neon State will firmly control China's core rights and interests such as territory, politics, military and finance.

Later, under the coercion and temptation of the Neon State, Yuan had to sign the unequal "Four Treaties", which made the power of the Neon State consolidate and expand in Manchuria, Mongolia and Shandong, and also increased in Central and South China.

Among the subsidiary clauses of the treaty, there is a special agreement on Hanyeping Company.

Since the signing of the treaty, the loans generated by Beiyang to the neon country have all been secured by factory and mineral properties and iron sand, with a term of 30 years.

In addition to the Hanyang Iron Works' own use, the iron sand produced must be sold to Neon people first.

Although the price is negotiated by both parties, in fact, Neon Country buys it at cost price.

Since then, the domestic steel industry has been in a slump and has not been able to develop again.
