Chapter 5 The Beginning of Industry
Although the eaves structure and window paper had weakened most of the sunlight, the sun at nine o'clock in the morning was still extremely dazzling, and rubbing his stinging eyes, Yu Ling found that the bad habits he had developed at home before were really annoying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The weather in Chongqing is much better than in later generations, and the city allows Yuling to feel a natural tranquility if it weren't for those steamboats on the river.
It's been two weeks since the last conversation between the father and daughter of the Yu family, today is the time for Yu Ling to buy foreign machinery, as for why today, Yu Ling simply doesn't want to complain about her father, for the problem of funds actually used for three days, originally the next day after the conversation, Yu Ling wanted to find those British, but Yu Runsheng said seriously that it takes three days to mobilize funds, Yu Ling was as disgusting as eating flies, and Yu Ling realized what a great invention the bank card was. (There are more Britons in Sichuan)
Then it took a week to get from Chengdu to Yibin, in addition to hurrying, but also did a lot of necessary preparations, during this period, Yuling deeply realized what kind of bad habit lying in bed is.
Lying in bed led to getting up late the next day to deal with various things, leading to going to bed late the next day, and then lying in bed on the third day。。。。。 Vicious circle.
But no matter how hard he tried, this body didn't change the slightest bit as the rain spirit expected, and it still didn't lift the slightest bit like a lazy cat.
Just like today, the little lazy cat has lost a lot of time.
To be honest, Yu Ling really didn't want to buy those foreigners' machines.
At this time, most of the foreigners' machines were relatively expensive, and the rain spirit knew that those were the things they had eliminated, but what could they do? Machinery in your own country? No kidding, there are only a few blast furnaces for ironmaking, there are basically no steelmaking, and machinery is still produced... Unless God is crazy.
If the family is very rich, of course there is no need to do this, but because Yu Runsheng is a small landlord and his own property is not very much, it is impossible for industry to start from basic industry, and it must be from the perspective of profit from the beginning.
Speaking of profits, Yu Ling felt unhappy, the Qing Dynasty really deserved to be a famous corrupt court, all kinds of harsh taxes on merchants are really countless, most of the profits of merchants have been taken away by these officials, if they don't understand that they still have to leave some leftovers for these merchants, it is estimated that they will receive a loss from merchants.
Even if you make fake accounts like my father, more than half of the profits go out, the most important of which is the various taxes on the road.
Therefore, Yu Ling decided to secretly set up a factory in Panzhihua, and then hang the British flag, she will not be like other businessmen who are still a little stupid and loyal in this era, hanging the British flag in front and the dragon flag in the back.
But even so, after Yu Ling's calculations, his profit is still not very much, (of course, this is compared with foreigners, and compared with Chinese is a lot.) The British could not have sold themselves too many machines, which would threaten their interests, and while this might have been bypassed by some deceptive means, it was not a long-term solution.
This makes Yuling eager to develop his own basic industry, the most basic of which is the steel industry.
If you want to start your own steel industry, you must find iron ore, and fortunately, there is a super iron mine in Sichuan - Panzhihua Iron Mine.
The land in Panzhihua is not as expensive as in Chengdu, where most of the land has no water conservancy facilities, and much of the land is classified as low-class real estate, but many people are reluctant to sell their land.
This once put Yu Ling's acquisition plan in trouble, but his cousin is really a mascot, and one word woke up Yu Ling, who thinks from the perspective of a modern person.
The land in the future does need to be certified in various aspects, but this is the society of the late Qing Dynasty, and the most important thing here is wasteland, and now the guys at the bottom have established a small village in the approximate location of the Lanjia volcanic mining area in Yuling's memory.
However, after the establishment of the village, Yu Ling felt the difficulties in all aspects, if the machine was to be transported in, it would be necessary to build a road, and it was more than a hundred kilometers of road, otherwise, it would have to make a big detour.
Yuling, who had no choice, had to re-choose the address of the industrial zone, thinking about it, there was only near Chongqing, and now the government here is very underdeveloped, and it is in the sphere of influence of foreigners, and Chongqing also has a lot of wasteland (worthy of being called a mountain city), although the probability of being found is greater, but it will be found after all, and the officials here can't manage so much.
Soon, on a wasteland in Chongqing, a small red brick house was built, but because of these tosses, Yu Runsheng has been very distressed these days, and his family's savings for so many years have shrunk by nearly one percent so quickly.
As for what to do at the beginning, Yuling also thought about it, just make matches, Chinese society has a great demand for it, but foreign fire is expensive, and the use of foreign drugs by domestic manufacturers has led to its higher cost, and the price has also risen, and the main business direction of foreigners is now on the cloth, and there is not much attention to this aspect of matches.
And by the time they notice the profiteering of the industry, it's too late.
Most of the light industry naturally has Zhang Qian and these people to compete, and if they go to mix up the peace by themselves, they may affect some history, and it will not be good for the world to attack China again.
If you want to make money, you can't buy gunpowder from foreigners, and the price will be about the same as that of foreigners, so you have to have your own gunpowder.
Fortunately, that technology includes all the technology from 1918, otherwise, the problem of making money is enough to bother Yu Ling.
Yu Ling carefully recalled the memories in his mind, antimony sulfide, ******, alum, red lead, manganese dioxide, red phosphorus, glass powder, it seems that this matter can also strengthen the chemical industry.
However, these things can only be manufactured on a small scale, and it is not possible for Yuling to establish a large-scale chemical manufacturing industry at this time.
Just thinking about it, Yu Ling saw the German, the German in the British sphere of influence, I heard that it was an agent of Siemens, Yu Ling learned that he was on vacation these days, so he decided to go to this German to buy machine tools, it is impossible to buy weapons, small-scale transportation, and the money earned is not even enough for freight. (I prefer Siemens, and if you do travel into the British sphere of influence, I recommend finding Horod.) )
The German guy was coming out of his hotel in Chongqing.
"Sir, can you talk?" (The Iron Ambition system also solves the language library)
Horner was in a very good mood today, the yellow woman was very good at kung fu, and served him very comfortably, and when he walked out of the hotel, he heard the purest Berlin accent, and quickly turned his head, but instead of seeing his own compatriots, he saw a little yellow girl.
"Sir, can you talk?"
It was still the same voice, but it was faster than before, and Horner was sure which little yellow girl was making the sound.
Oh, my God. This was the truest thought in Horner's heart, he never thought that a little yellow girl of a few years old would have a pure Berlin accent, and still wanted to talk to himself.
"What's the matter?"
Instead of treating Rain Spirit as a yellow person, Horner directly regarded her as his own compatriot.
"Sir, I heard that you are the agent of Siemens in this area?"
My God. Horner's heart called out to God for the second time, and Horner felt that this must be his own adult compatriot, not a little yellow girl.
"No, although it is true that I am an agent of Siemens, it is not in this area, I am in charge of Shanghai."
Rain nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Horner.
"I have a business I need to talk to you about, can you change places?"
Yu Ling asked the guys to wait for her at the hotel, and then took her cousin and Horner to a western restaurant.
"Sir, we are interested in purchasing some machinery and equipment from Siemens."
Hearing that it is a business matter, no matter how strange things are, they are not cared about, this is the self-cultivation of a businessman.
"What do you call Miss?"
Horner embodies the temperament of a businessman, after all, it is business.
"What do you call you, sir?"
"Haydem, what kind of machinery is Miss Rain going to buy?"
"These."
Yu Ling pulled out the list she had been thinking about for a long time last night, and the price was about three times the amount she had spent now.
"With all due respect, miss, the value of these machines is great, but not so great that it is worth an ocean voyage."
Yu Ling's brows furrowed, if that was the case, there would be no way to do a lot of things after that.
"However, there is still some stock in Shanghai, and Miss Yu should be able to pay for inland river transportation."
"Can't I get rid of my shipping costs? It's possible for us to work together for a long time. ”
Yu Lingwan said with a smile, in fact, the biggest problem has been solved, and this is just to strive for the greatest benefits.
"I'm sorry, Miss Rain."
Horner. Mr. Haydem straightened his face, and the rain spirit looked amused.
"This is the regulation of the head office, and there is no way for a salesperson like me to modify the regulations of the head office."
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is because Yu Ling has no way to bring him enough benefits for the time being, if he can bring him a lot of benefits, even if it is an ocean voyage, he will be exempted.
"Okay, I won't force it, I hope I can see this shipment in two weeks, happy cooperation."
Rain Ling took Horner's big hand, and his cousin pulled out a German bank check, something he'd been tinkering with for days.
"These are deposits, and the cash on delivery is the full amount, no problem."
Horner also held Rain Spirit's hand tightly.
"Of course, no problem, it's a pleasure to work with."
Of course, no one knows what the two people who shook hands were thinking.
