"This. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Ju said with some embarrassment.

"Weapons and equipment must be supplied to us." Li Ma said.

"However, in this case, I will need to spend a lot of money, and I will not have enough of it." Ju said even more embarrassed. After all, if he did this, it would cost him money, and he naturally didn't want to. If he does so, he will spend more money. And the other side does not know if it can guarantee the occupation of more land.

"We're willing to trade more land for it." Li Ma said.

"This." Ju and looked at Li Ma in embarrassment, he was carefully thinking about the pros and cons.

"If you don't give me enough weapons and equipment, I won't be able to occupy all of these lands for you. I can guarantee that after taking more land, I will give you more land. The price is absolutely right, too. Li Ma said.

Ju still didn't speak, he felt that if he did this, he would still suffer a lot.

Seeing Ju and hesitant and disbelieving, Li Ma was also very worried. After all, what the other side provides is weapons and equipment, and with so many weapons and equipment, it is indeed detrimental to the other party if it is turned against the other party. Come to think of it. Lima was in a hurry to get weapons and equipment. An astonishing decision was made.

"I'll mortgage my tribe to you." That's when Li Ma said.

"What?" Ju said in surprise.

"I mortgaged my tribe to you, and you offered me weapons. In that case, you can rest assured. If I can't give you land, you can do whatever you want with our tribesmen. This should be fine. Li Ma said firmly. It seems that this is the only way to achieve the possibility of equipping at present.

"This. What do I want your tribe to do? Moreover, with the population of these tribes. This is really difficult for me. Ju said.

"Your tribe has so many people. They need to eat, they need to wear, and I have to lose money. I can't just do nothing. At this time, Ju and waved his hand and said.

"This. That's true. Li Ma said.

"Then you say, what should I do? I have to think of a way, if there is no way, my tribe will not survive, it is better to sell all the tribes to you. Li Ma said embarrassedly.

"Alright. I also know that Mr. Li has a dilemma. Ju took a step back and said.

"There are some things that can't be rushed. The more anxious you are, the less you can solve the problem. I'll go back and think about it, and if it can be solved, I'll come to you to solve it, and you have to think about how to solve it. If you really can't do it, you have to give it a try. Ju said.

"This. What Mr. Ju said is. Li Ma nodded in agreement. And Ju and then left, on the way back, Ju and was thinking carefully about this matter.

If you mortgage it to your own tribe, you will have to bear the living expenses of which tribes, this amount is definitely not small. And how much favor the Huns have for their tribe, he doesn't know, the most important thing is that after the other party gets a lot of weapons and equipment, he turns his gun against himself, which is not good. These nomadic tribes will do anything for profit. This has to be guarded against.

But if you don't, the situation will be deadlocked, and if you don't take a step back, no one will benefit. The Qin government has great demands for the northern land, but it will definitely not use Qin's military strength to fight for it, because if it does, it will increase military spending, and it will also bring many problems, such as the disposal of prisoners of war, defense, logistics materials, road construction, and so on, these things are the thinking of those soldiers. The burden of military spending is very large.

However, the government has made a clear plan to buy the land. In other words, in the land purchase plan, the capital contribution is certain. So under such financial conditions, how to get these lands to the maximum extent is what their businessmen should be operating.

This scheme is best to use these tribes that are struggling to survive to capture them. Because with a little supply, you can use these armies to seize land, and with land, you can do more things. But the problem is that after the land is provided to the other party, there will be a great security risk, and this hidden danger makes him feel very embarrassed, because he cannot control these Huns.

"Well, let's go to the bank and see if the bank can solve it." Ju shook his head at this time and said. Thinking of this, he felt a great headache. He didn't know how to solve these problems.

Inside the border bank of Dongmeng Prefecture in the north of the Qin State. There were very few people in the hall. They are all handling some small business, and the people who do big business are waiting on the second floor. Ju went straight to the second floor.

"Mr. Ju." As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw his business partner Chen Jun.

"Oh. Mr. Chen. How's your railroad business going? Why are you free now? At this time, Ju and smiled and walked over and said. Chen Jun is in the railway business, and he has a stake in a railway company. At present, the railway is under construction, and the main section of the railway extends to the north along the Monan Railway, which is currently of great military value and commercial value, and the main border trade is not very large.

"Well, it's not good. Sit down. Sit down, let's talk about it, maybe we can find some other business opportunities. Chen Jun pulled Ju over at once. The manager of the bank brought tea.

"Dude, what's you busy with lately?" Chen Jun asked at this time.

"Nothing. It's to do business with some tribes, they need a lot of things, some daily necessities, and they can't make much money. Ju said.

"Oh. Although this kind of business is small, it is very stable and profitable. Chen Jun said.

"Tell me about your railroad business, I'd like to hear about it. After all, I've heard that this railway business is very good. Ju said.

"Not so good." Hearing this, Chen Jun immediately shook his head and said.

"Oh. Here's why. Ju asked.

"This railway, the investment is too big, the rails, the sleepers, this is a piece, and the purchase of land is also a piece. The land in the south of the desert is ownerless, the land in the north of the desert is ownerless, the government can only support you half, if it is not for the income from these railway land, our dividends are not very good. Chen Jun said.

"Oh. I see. Ju and nodded.

"What else?" Ju took a sip of tea and asked.

"What's more, this railway requires a lot of labor, although we have collected some labor from Wei and Chu, but it is still not enough. The wages we pay for these laborers are not low, but the progress is slow, and many of the sections of the railway have no infrastructure, no water, no place to live. So. The problem is really big. Many people can't endure this hardship anymore. The people who do it want us to increase our salary, and the railway we built has not yet been completed, so we can't make much money at all. No, let's get a mortgage. Or let's see what the banks can do, I heard that the banks have recently increased their investment business. I'm here to give it a try. Chen Jun said to Ju.

"Investing in the business? What's going on?" Ju asked.

"Oh. It is a bank contribution, and there is no need for collateral. They occupy a certain amount of shares in proportion to their contributions. At the same time, your company will be listed within a certain period of time, and if it is not listed, the rest of the shares will be owned by other banks. It's good for the bank, and I've heard about it. The shareholders asked me to ask and give it a try, after all, the railroad needs too much money. With such a big financial need, I had to give it a try. Chen Jun said.

"Oh. That's what happened. Ju nodded and said.

"Anyway, the railway thing, the future profit will definitely be profitable, but the current business is not good. Still no way. Chen Jun said worriedly.

"You just said that labor is a problem for the construction of this railway?" Ju asked at this time. Because he thought of a way, because the tribe had a large number of adult men to use, if they could, it was also possible to drive them to the railroad, but it was really not possible, if they expanded north, they could also capture a large number of slaves, this is an idea of Ju Ji.

"Oh. This is indeed a problem. Chen Jun said.

"You know, this slave is very nervous, and in recent years, there has been less fighting. Slaves relied mainly on prisoners of war, and without prisoners of war the problem was very huge. Chen Jun said.

"Building a railway requires a lot of labor, and conscription does not solve the fundamental problem. This conundrum. It hasn't been solved. We've spent a lot of money on this, and if we can solve this problem, it will be a big help for us. Chen Jun said.

"Hmm." Ju listened patiently, but he heard that there was a business opportunity, and the railroad company needed a lot of cheap labor. Where does cheap labor come from, naturally slaves made up of prisoners of war are the main thing, the problem is that there are very few places where wars are fought now. Without war, there would naturally be no prisoners of war. I thought about it carefully. Since a large number of prisoners of war are needed, it is enough to look for them. At this time, Ju He thought of what happened just now, if the Xiongnu tribe wants to occupy more land, it will expand northward, and northward expansion is to constantly rob the northern population. In this way, part of the problem of prisoners of war can be solved, but in doing so, a part of the funds is still needed, and the risk needs to be transferred and borne part, after all, the other party has no collateral, and the risk of the Huns getting equipment is also very large. This. And very clear.

"So, how do you get the bank's investment, how do you do this, how does it work?" Ju asked at this time.

"Oh. This, this is also what we learned from Guanzhong, and we sold 35 percent of our shares in exchange for financial support from the bank. This percentage of shares would become the largest shareholder, in which case the bank would effectively become the dominant player in the company. Chen Jun said.

"This." Ju said very worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know what you're trying to say, isn't this giving up the company to the bank?" At this time, Chen Jun said.

"As long as we jointly own 51 percent of the shares, the company will remain ours. Not only that, but we promised that within three years, our company must be listed, so that the bank will quickly sell their shares in order to return the funds as soon as possible, and at that time, we must have made money. With the money, we can buy back the shares, so that the bank can leave our company. Our ownership hasn't changed much. Chen Jun said.

"Hmm. It's a good idea. It's also very practical. Ju said with a smile. In this way, in fact, it solves a big financial problem for him. With ample funding, he can also do even bigger. However, there is still no good way to solve the matter of the northern expansion of the Xiongnu in the north. If they could not effectively control these Huns, they could easily cause huge losses. This point is really unconfident.

The next two men talked a lot, but none of them got involved in the bigger business matters. And Ju Ji's solution is still not well solved.

Xianyang, Qin State.

High-level meeting of Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company.

"Some of our parts are too expensive to machine. The cost of transportation cannot be reduced, which is causing our business to be not doing well. Cui Yi introduced.

"For example." Qin Jun looked at Cui Yi and asked the other party to give an example. Cui Yi is the production director, mainly responsible for some production matters. Qin Jun is the general manager, he is responsible for the entire processing plant, Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company mainly produces all kinds of motor vehicles, engines, and related accessories, and they are involved in all related production of automobiles.

"For example, the production of screws, gears, some cylinders, and so on. These things can greatly reduce the cost of production. Cui Yi said.

"How to reduce production costs?" Qin Jun asked in detail. Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company encountered serious production problems, because the stall was too large, and a complete motor vehicle they needed to assemble various parts, which caused them to produce each part of the product, and opened a lot of production lines, and finally the price of the assembled products remained high, and it was very difficult to sell. The income is not very optimistic, if it is not for the hot railway project, they process some train parts, maybe their factory will be difficult to operate, for this reason, Qin Jun visited a lot of grassroots units, he wants to understand, there is a way to reduce costs, expand the income of the factory, and if this continues, their factory is likely to go out of business, this is definitely not the situation that everyone wants to see.

"Outsourcing some unnecessary parts and letting them process them and then ship them back, or setting up a large-scale assembly plant in one place and assembling and selling them locally, in this way, our processing costs and transportation costs will be reduced a lot." Cui Yi said.

"Oh." Qin Jun saw the feasibility.

"No, I can't. If you do that, it's a big problem. At this time, the product quality director on the side objected.

"Let him finish, maybe it's exactly what we need to solve." Qin Jun said to the quality director.

"Alright. You can go on. Qin Jun said with a smile.

"Yes, manager, many of our products can be produced by ourselves, for example, gears, operating levers, load-bearing frames, these things are very simple, as long as a little training can be processed, and we are still doing this, our labor costs are very high, the processing efficiency is very limited, and the repeated transportation of materials, in this way, our costs are invisibly increased." Cui Yi said. Qin Jun nodded, he also recognized this, because in his opinion, this was indeed one of the main drawbacks of the current problem.

"I've heard that the Lee Arsenal put some parts and components in Wei and South Korea to produce, and they produce the core parts, such as gun barrels, or other things. These things are standardized, and we only need to send a part of the technical backbone to strictly control the technical indicators, so that these parts can be universal. After all, we all standardize production. It's easy to do. Cui Yi said.

"Where do you think it's appropriate to place these parts production plants?" At this time, Qin Jun asked.

"Zhao Guo. Especially in the Handan area, there are a large number of iron factories there, and they produce quite a lot of cast iron, pig iron, which can be processed into what we want as long as there is a certain amount of processing equipment. Cui Yi said.

"Hmm. Not bad. Qin Jun nodded and said.

"In doing so, you can also save a lot of money on transportation. We produce locally, close to the origin of raw materials, and Zhao Guo's labor salary is very cheap, as long as we hire them, they can solve our labor problems to a large extent, and the cost of processing has dropped a lot. Cui Yi said.

"Hmm. It's just that a lot of money is needed. Our current financial situation is not enough to support us to expand some more factories, and if we do expand factories, it will be very unfavorable to our financial situation. The quality director on the side said.

"Although we are implementing standardized production, we don't know if Zhao Guoren can do it, and if they can't do it, what will be the result? Our investment was in vain. The quality director said worriedly.

"But I think it's a big help for us to reduce costs, and our factories are not very efficient at the moment. It's just that there are too many stalls. These stalls are too big, and many of them are useless, which will greatly hinder our profits, which is very detrimental to us. Qin Jun said.

"It's okay if we have our own strengths in some key areas. There is no need to spend too much energy, manpower, material resources, and a lot of financial resources on projects that we do not have advantages in, if we can save such an expense, I think a factory is not a problem for us. If the workers of Zhao Guo are unable to make such powerful parts, we will lose a lot. After all, our money has already been invested. The quality director on the side was very skeptical about the production level of the Zhao Guo factory.

"That's it. I don't think there's any need to worry, because the products and parts we give them have a certain level of technology, and we will never let them do anything other than their strength. Cui Yi said.

"Not only that, but we also train them, and only after that they can they go to work, and we test the products so that their products meet our production standards." Cui Yi said.

"That's right, if Zhao Guo introduces foreign capital at this time, or gives great preferential treatment to our factories, I think we can easily make up for our previous losses. That's not something we're worried about. Qin Jun said at this time.

"Hmm." The quality director just nodded.

"It's just, it's a matter of funding." The quality director said worriedly.

"There are banks to be responsible, I want to make a problem can be solved, we can let the bank to invest, they are very interested in such a project, as long as we do it, the current bank has a lot of investment banks, they are very interested in such a project, and we produce some important general parts, I think, Zhao Guo will give us a lot of concessions, these problems can be well solved." Qin Jun said without worrying at all.

He studied the characteristics of Qin's factories during this period, as well as policies, and found that Qin's factories generally had high production costs, especially in terms of labor costs, and the salaries paid by Qin's factories were very high, but the technical content of the technical products produced was not high, and if you continue to develop new technologies for reproduction, the cost would be very large. This is very detrimental to further production. As a result, factories have to find other ways to reduce production of these low-end parts. At this time, the Qin state's arsenal took the lead in solving the example of the production of a large number of parts, and they put some unimportant parts in Korea, Wei, where cheap labor reduced a considerable amount of labor costs, and in addition, some assembly was also carried out there, so that these civilian commodity factories were provided with a good example.

In addition, there is also the financial support of the bank, if the construction of factories, especially in South Korea, Wei, Zhao to build factories, there will be a certain tax policy support, the introduction of foreign capital, he gives certain incentives, if they can cooperate to carry out factory production, they are absolutely advantageous, in such considerations. Qin Jun already planned to do so. Only this time he was just telling everyone.

And in the Qin State, there are still many entrepreneurs like Qin Jun who have such ideas, they see a good way to reduce production costs, and at the same time, if they do this, they can also expand their profits, so many benefits, which naturally makes them very satisfied, and they are naturally willing to do so. The Qin State also achieved a certain technological output in this way. On the one hand, the factory expands production, and on the other hand, some factories with high production costs are put into advantageous areas for production. It's a step forward. This kind of progress will greatly promote the development of science and technology, which is conducive to socialized mass production.
