In view of the fact that he was not chatting with Da Yan in private, Cao Ji didn't want to talk about the situation in the capital, so he avoided it as a sensitive topic, took a sip of tea and said directly: "I heard that Lord Xiao Wang planned something called a railway, which can rely on mechanical power for efficient transportation?" ”

Ye Wushuang replied with a dark face: "That's not Lord Xiao Wang's, I invented it." ”

Cao Ji didn't want to offend her, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Ye is happy." ”

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Ye Wushuang also asked directly.

Cao Ji replied more directly, "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come and learn from the experience, and then participate in the construction of the railway." ”

"You ......" Ye Wushuang didn't know how to continue, although she was very emotional, she also knew that she couldn't stop Cao Ji, the Funing and Suide section of the railway had been finalized for the Northwest Investment Bank to build, but there was a fact that the Great Song Dynasty needed more than one railway, and a railway of this scale would eventually need more than 100,000.

In terms of industrial construction strength, Ye Wushuang also knows that Caoji's coal yard is only stronger than the Northwest Investment Bank, and he is in Tokyo, while the Northwest Investment Bank is Qiuba in the Northwest, and he has fallen into the bottleneck of insufficient manpower, and his uncle's manpower is almost inexhaustible.

These exist objectively.

It is true that the Ye family, due to the foresight of the old uncle, now monopolizes the steam engine, at least a few years longer than others, can go further in the application of the steam engine, and then use the steam engine to greatly replace the traditional labor force to make up for the shortcomings of manpower.

However, this also has many drawbacks, that is, the cost is high. The current steam engine is not mature, and from a purely commercial point of view, the cost is much higher than manpower.

That is to say, in the short term, the competition with Cao Ji will face the route of burning money and resisting.

The more he thought about it, the darker Ye Wushuang's face became, and he wanted to send guards to drag Cao Ji away and kill him, but unfortunately Cao Ji's guards didn't look cowardly?

Observing Ye Wushuang's wonderful and rich expression, Cao Ji was secretly amused in his heart, but he shook his hand very wrongly on the surface and said: "Miss Ye is angry, Cao Mou is not here to challenge you, you know and I know that I can't rob you of the northwest railway plan." I'm just here to learn from the experience, and in the future, I plan to start from the southeast. ”

"I don't want to learn from you." Ye Wushuang said rudely: "Why did you think of building a railway in Tokyo, you have enough to eat, what are you doing here?" ”

Cao Ji said curiously: "Tokyo is also facing transportation pressure, and all kinds of materials and ores need to enter Beijing in larger quantities to supply my industry. Little sister, now it's not just you who have transportation pressure, everyone has it, don't you see that the Ministry of Industry and the Cao Transportation Department are about to be crowded? ”

Ye Wushuang said: "But what's the use of you building a railway?" How do you solve political problems? By the way, do you have a steam engine? Do you have a train? ”

Cao Ji said with a smile: "The steam engine is not available for the time being, I don't admit it, I know about the exclusive agreement between you and Da Yan." But I know too well the character and execution of Dayan, the current production capacity is indeed a maximum of three machines a month, if you calculate it in this way, if you want to finish the production of 600 units of your Ye family, he Funing County will have to purchase it himself, and that will be at least thirty years later. However, there is one variable: the expansion rate of Dayan will be faster than you imagined, and now Funing County is only limited to manpower bottlenecks and cannot get production capacity. In terms of machinery manufacturing, in addition to Funing County, the world's top is our coal yard, assuming that he authorizes the steam engine technology, and our coal yard begins to use the skills accumulated by the first-mover technical school, as well as Tokyo's endless manpower advantage to start producing steam engines, your Ye family's exclusive steam engine order will be completed soon, not even five years. After that, wouldn't everyone have a steam engine? ”

"If you have the surname Cao, you just blow it, the Great Demon King, he will give you the steam engine technology?"

Ye Wushuang obviously didn't believe it, thinking about the young lady, I have such a good figure, and I haven't necessarily gotten a hair from him. You, Cao Jichang, are so ugly, even if the big demon king likes to do it, you definitely don't have a chance.

Cao Ji didn't know what her weird-looking YY was, and said: "I know it sounds a little difficult, but it's not impossible, in fact, there are many solutions." Da Yan is this person, he likes to sell things, his father and his wife may not be able to sell, but everything else should be negotiable, as long as the plan is suitable and the price is suitable, it will be faster than Miss Ye you think. ”

Ye Wushuang looked at Wang Yan worriedly.

Wang Yan nodded and intervened: "I don't rule out the possibility that Cao Ji said." Of course, he is not a good thing like you Miss Ye, and when he is not short of money, I intend to open a branch factory in Beijing. But there is one thing he said right, your Ye family's steam engine monopoly will not last as long as you think. I don't want to plunder the interests of your Ye family, but I think: Da Song doesn't have so many years to make money for you. ”

Cao Ji said in horror: "Brother, you won't be so pitiful, right?" Does the Beijing Coal Yard have half of your equity? Isn't it also in your interest to give steam engine technology to the coal yard? ”

Wang Yan pointed to his nose and said, "You think I'm a fool, because of this, I can't give you the steam engine to the Ye family." Do you think my dad won't overkill? Do you think Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang and those people will not use these reasons to attack my Wang family? ”

Cao Ji was depressed for a while. Ye Wushuang was proud.

Wang Yan said again: "Of course, this is just an analogy, it will not be given to the Cao family, and it will not be given to the Ye family." In short, anyway, I can't take advantage of this matter myself, so why should I cheapen you two profiteers? My rule is that I can't eat it, and I don't allow anyone else to eat it. Funing County is the government, and the core strategic technology and industry are in the hands of the government, which is the least politically stressful and quite conducive to my image building, so this is my political interest. Anyway, I'm afraid of it, so don't talk about it, none of you can get it, let's talk about something else. ”

Mu Guiying and Lu Huiqing, who accompanied the banquet, were shocked, this is said to be the big demon king to get his own political interests, but it is a big yang scheme, and he looks very wise and powerful.

Ye Wushuang looked at Cao Ji proudly and said, "Hear no, you won't have a steam engine, even if the monopoly time won't be too long, it's only me, so what are you going to do?" ”

Cao Ji thought for a while and said, "Okay, count you ruthless." I don't have a steam engine, but I can make a locomotive, and it's definitely cheaper than the one from the Funing Machinery Factory, so I guarantee that it works. I'll help your Ye family build a locomotive, and you can give me some of your exclusive steam engines, so that we both will be less dependent on Da Yan together, and we won't be pitted by him casually, what do you think, girl? ”

Ye Wushuang thought about it reasonably, when the locomotive was manufactured, Xu Langshan's turtle son's offer had many pits, and the little uncle's proposal might really be an idea?

Wang Yan looked at Cao Ji with ill intentions and said, "You came to the northwest...... It turned out that he robbed me of the business of Funing County Machinery Factory in person? ”

Cao Ji said embarrassedly: "Brother, it's really bad to have a monopoly. In line with the principle of fairness and justice, now that you have limited manpower, you can't eat so many industries, I am thinking about the benefits of your and my common coal yard, and give the Ye family a different choice, maintain the bottom line of my Da Song Dynasty's justice, so that they will not be stuck by your machinery factory in everything, you are doing this, it is really bad. ”

"......" Wang Yan didn't want to speak for the time being.

At this point, Ye Wushuang's mouth smiled crookedly, it is foreseeable that he will soon need to order more than a dozen locomotives in the first phase, and match the steam engine in his hand. Now that the little uncle has jumped out, it will be perfect, so that the quotations on both sides will slowly become reasonable, and the two sides will produce and supply together, which is also the most stable output for the Ye family to purchase the front of the car, and the ability to resist risks has increased.

There is no doubt that the quality of the car made by the little uncle is definitely not as good as that of Funing Machinery Factory, but observing the urine properties of his coal yard, the things they sell can also be used, and they will be much cheaper than Funing Machinery Factory.

If from the perspective of the gentleman's son, Ye Wushuang will definitely choose Funing County Machinery Factory, but from the perspective of the enterprise he operates, as long as it can be used, two-thirds of the locomotive orders will be handed over to the coal yard in the future.

The reason why he plans to leave one-third to Funing County Machinery Factory is not that Ye Wushuang wants to give Funing County a bargain, but that nothing can really be overdone, the government is like Wang Yan said Although there is a pit, there is a bottom line, as for Cao Ji, think about the traditional coal bosses who were washed in blood in the capital at that time, Cao Ji usually looks harmless to people and animals, but when it really comes to biting people, he will never show mercy, he will bite how heavy he is, and the so-called bottom line does not exist.

So this simple negotiation, although there are no specific rules, but it is foreseeable that the pattern of the future period of time has been formed, the northwest investment bank will build roads from the northwest, and Cao Ji will start in the southeast, the manufacture of locomotives is mainly based on Cao Ji, and the manufacturing of transmission systems is mainly in Funing County.

It is worth mentioning that although Cao Ji is crazy, he really has some ability and skills under his command, he has seen the rise of Funing County and the emergence of steam engines, and he has long been developing various transmission systems, pumping systems and this kind of pumping system is also engaged in, the old rules, what he made is synonymous with the copycat version, not as good as Funing County, but it can really be used, and the special thief is cheaper, much better than the various application systems developed by Ye Qinghua himself. After all, where is the skill of the thousands of skilled industrial workers in the coal yard.

As for the steam engine, the most core machine, there is no way, now only the machinery factory in Funing County can build it, known as the strongest on the surface, and the entire surface is stuck by his neck.

Now for the time being, only this pattern has been formed, and at the same time, the Ye family is also stepping up the research and development of its own various technologies, not to mention that the Ye family wants to surpass these core technologies controlled by the two of them, and they must always have some of their own technologies as soon as possible, so as to cross-authorize them in the future, so as not to be pinched by the neck and killed.

The competition has begun, and the time left for the Ye family will be shorter than imagined, and when these two big sharks are specialized in their own fields, they have an irreplaceable advantage over others, if the Ye family does not have some black technology in their hands to exchange, it is basically waiting for the fate of being ransacked. He won't die, but he will never be at the top of the food chain.

This is not Ye Wushuang's train of thought, it is Ye Qinghua who has repeatedly reminded him.

Ye Qinghua also specially explained: Don't believe Wang Yan's kid's "It's better to buy than to build", he is the most pitiful person in the world. Especially Cao Ji bites people more ruthlessly than bad boys, the era of great change has come, and if you can't keep up with this trend, you will definitely be washed out of the core club. The most successful operation of your uncle and I in this life is not the Fanlou cultural circle, but to buy Wang Yan when everyone is not optimistic about him, bite it tightly, and do this trend with mechanical power as the core......
