Chapter 82: The Railway (5)
Thinking of Xiliang's face that had become gloomy due to hesitation just now, Yu Ling felt comfortable.
Xiliang agreed to write a letter of introduction to her, as for the matter of the railway company, the current railway company has long been out of his control, he can only guarantee that if Yu Ling has the ability to control the Chamber of Commerce, he will not do anything.
"That's a lot easier~"
If it's a chamber of commerce, there are many more ways to control.
The matter on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, Yu Ling does not feel that there is any difficulty, just with the power of the gentry in Sichuan, it is absolutely impossible to pose a threat to Yu Ling, during the Baolu Movement, these gentry mainly rely on the Pao Brother Society, and the Pao Brother Club is very clear about Yu Ling's strength.
As for Zhan Tianyou, according to historical records, Zhan Tianyou should not leave for Yichang until November, and now he is still in charge of the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which will take eight months to complete.
But now for Yuling, the demand for the railway is very tight, and the construction must start within three months, so he can only find Zhan Tianyou's deputy Yan Deqing, and now, Yan Deqing should have begun to survey.
Obviously, after the Chamber of Commerce is settled, it is better to go to Yan Deqing again.
"Let's go, go find those old guys."
Yu Ling said lightly, swallow the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, hehe~ She can't wait.
"You wait for me, just now you said that you want to solve the 50 million taels needed for the Sichuan-Han Railway, where are you going to solve it? Don't forget, our match business in the southwest has reached a critical value, and we can't get into the market in the east, where do you want to get money? ”
Clea floated out, and unlike the Rain Spirit's excitement, she was in a very bad mood right now.
She really didn't expect that this guy Yuling would be such a loser... I really took 100,000 taels and gave it to Xiliang... also directly covered the 50 million taels of funds needed by the Sichuan-Han Railway. . . Fifty million taels of silver! In this era, the construction of a national industrial zone in Germany is 40 million yuan.
Although Yuling's annual profit has now reached more than 10 million, this huge project is definitely not something that a businessman can afford.
"This problem~, first of all, the railway, especially the strategic project of the Sichuan-Han Railway, requires a construction period, even if the four sections are laid at the same time, the construction period will take five years, and we fully support the only section of Chengdu-Chongqing for the time being, and the Sichuan-Han Railway Company itself has 13 million taels in addition to being swallowed by the guy in Shanghai, as for the rest of the money, we can get it."
If she were alone, of course, there would be no way to afford a project of this magnitude, but with the 13 million taels made up by the taxes in Sichuan (originally 17 million taels, of which more than 3 million taels were embezzled by agents of the Shanghai stock market in 1909), this project is not impossible to follow.
"Secondly, the way to make money~~ I also came up with it in the carriage last night, we have always been too limited in our vision, what we have been thinking about is the business that can be fully mastered by us, but there are still many things that need to be cooperated with others, but they are also necessities."
Business doesn't have to be completely controlled by yourself, humans are selfish animals, and if you don't leave some of your profits behind, something will happen sooner or later.
"For example, wheat accounts for a large part of Sichuan's crops, and there is no mechanized agricultural production machinery in Sichuan."
Yu Ling explained seriously, she had memorized a lot of modern information in her mind, and she no longer needed to use the system to check it, in the past few months, she had not just drawn some drawings and studied some weapons.
One of the advantages of memorizing all of this information is that once you have an inspiration, you can immediately come up with some ideas that will work in your favor, although it is not perfect, but this ability of Klea is blocked, and the rain spirit can only rely on her own brain.
"So, flour mills? I calculate, Sichuan's current output is 3 million tons a year, a ton is about 16 stones, the price of wheat in the market is about 4,000 wen per stone, the price of flour is about 7,200 wen per stone, 10% of the profit as the wages of workers, machinery we can produce by ourselves, if there are drawings, a large production line... Well... Two thousand taels, the monthly output is about 500 tons, and we have to reduce the price by 10% to win the market. So, the limit profit is. Hey... 100,000,000 taels... Food processing is so profitable??? ”
Clea asked, surprised, she had never thought of anything about food.
"Okay, damn it."
If it was Cleya's full form, she would never have noticed this kind of thing, and it was that damn program.
"No, if you make a profit, you have to take into account the market situation, Sichuan here... It's not right, China's population is 400 million, even if there is competition from foreign companies along the coast, more than 2 million tons can be eaten in the inland areas... Other words... ”
Although it was limited by the program, Clea still tried her best to make her calculation reasonable, and she still felt that a profit of 100 million taels was unlikely.
But although some other factors were found, the result of the calculation was that even if those factors were affected, the profit was still more than 100 million taels... I'm just in a trance by this gold mine.
"So, I said that our vision was too limited before, the only problem is that it took about a year for the development of our match industry to the current extent, which is the result of our large-scale semi-automated production and the reduction of worker indicators... As for the flour mill, I don't know how long it will take to develop. ”
Although I thought of such a way to make money, the difficulty of this road is not much less than the establishment of a match factory, but the most critical part of the machine tool does not have too many difficulties.
"A production line, full laying, that is, a matter of three weeks, the machinery factory can now complete the laying of five production lines at the same time, and the fast class of vocational schools has also been expanded to two thousand per period, and there should be no problem in achieving a profit of 20 million taels this year."
Counting the available data, Claya made a more conservative estimate.
Although it is impossible to achieve a profit of 100 million taels a year, the figure of 20 million taels has already reassured Yu Ling, and these plus his own 17 million taels are enough.
"That's fine, tsk. Walk... Wait a minute... Where did the Sichuan-Han Railway Company come from? ”
