2609 The thoughts of the factory directors
"Now that the stock has risen so much, there are already some small shareholders who have sold their shares. Unfortunately, stock prices continue to rise. "Zhao Guo Handan, in the House of Lords, two middle-aged aristocratic parliamentarians are discussing the issue of selling and buying stocks.
"I heard that some of the shares of the Handan Iron Works have been sold. It seems that a lot of money has been obtained, and this money seems to be specially used to buy some equipment, as well as some technology patents. It seems that the scale of steel will continue to expand. A middle-aged man with a long beard said.
"Really? They are used to introduce technology, and we are used to make money. In my opinion, the stock market is going to rise, you see, the Koreans have won the war, they can make a lot of demands, but if they don't make demands, will Bangladesh be able to withstand the crazy blow of the Central Plains? No. Another nobleman said.
"As long as the Koreans continue to build ships and continue to win battles, they will need a lot of iron, and the stock will continue to rise, and that's it. Not only South Korea, but also the State of Chu, reading the newspaper, said that the Wuyue Shipyard of the State of Chu can also build ships by itself. They need iron even more. The more iron the better, Handan Iron Works, I think, it won't take long to change its name. Another nobleman continued.
"What's the name?" The bearded nobleman asked worriedly.
"Handan Iron and Steel." Another nobleman said inscrutablely.
"This is still from the Prime Minister's Mansion, think about it, this time the stock market has made so much money, and has mastered steel technology, in this case, can we not change our name?" Another noble councillor said. The bearded councillor nodded in agreement.
In Prime Minister Li Mucheng's house.
"The situation is much better than we expected. Fortunately, when it was down, we bought and sold the stock because of a huge loss, and you did the right thing. Li Mu said to the Minister of Finance and several factory directors present. These factory directors were all directors of several factories controlled by the Zhao government, and when the stock market of Zhao Guo fell sharply, they did not sell the stocks in their hands, but took another extreme approach and bought a large number of shares. In this way, the number of shares they had increased a lot, and in the end it turned out that they were doing the right thing, and they did it despite the pressure at the time. It will also sell some shares today in exchange for a large amount of money, laying the foundation.
"Prime Minister, at present, we have sufficient funds, and we can introduce a large number of technology patents and talents from Qin, and only in this way can the industry of our Zhao State further rise. After all, we have plenty of money. The director of the machinery factory said excitedly. He was eager to introduce all kinds of machinery to process parts, in that case. Their profits will be very large.
"Hmm. Let's talk about it. I listen to your thoughts, and I don't know anything about this, I don't understand anything, I don't understand anything, I mainly rely on your thoughts to judge. Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down for the time being.
"Prime Minister, at present, the main products produced by our Zhao State are railroad rails, iron beams, and all kinds of iron supplies, such as iron pots, and some iron wires, etc., these things, we can simply produce, but they are not worth much, if it is not for the low price of our coal, our cost may be very high, and our cost will not be able to earn back." The director of the machine factory stood up and said. Li Mu nodded.
Zhao occupies the main coal-producing area in the northern mountainous area, where there is a large amount of high-quality raw coal, which is the main driving force for Zhao's industrial development, and it is undeniable that without these raw coal, Zhao is unlikely to develop its own industry.
"Go on." Li Mu said.
"These things are of relatively low value, and we don't make much money, but through some observations from the shipyard, and some orders, we have found that we can produce other things, such as gears, or things like gears, or gearboxes, and if we can make such things, I think we can make more money. There are also bearings, which are needed on horse-drawn carriages. The demand for carriage transportation is also very large, and if we can produce such things, it will be very easy for us to solve the problem of making less money. Said the machine factory.
"The director of the factory said well, Prime Minister, our second military factory is also like this, artillery, not only need to drill, we also need steel to make artillery, to further reduce the production cost of artillery, in addition we can provide some pipes, or rather. Our Second Military Factory can expand a special production plant to produce pipes, and now the demand for pipes is also very large, not only in horse-drawn carriages, but also in bicycles, airships, building materials and other fields, as long as they are further processed, it is more profitable than Handan Iron Works selling iron ingots. The director of the Second Military Plant stood up and said.
"Hmm." Li Mu just kept recording and didn't speak.
"Looks like everyone's funding problems have been solved?" The Minister of Finance said with a smile.
"What Mr. Minister said is that our problems are well solved. And then the stock went up, we sold some of the shares, these shares gave us a lot of money problems, originally we couldn't do these things, mainly technical things, but now we have the funds, we can solve these technology, equipment things. A lot of projects can be launched. As long as the equipment and personnel are in place, we can start work immediately. The director of the machinery factory said excitedly.
"Is your personnel problem solved?" Li Mu then asked.
"Hmm. The personnel are very easy to solve, we can import from Qin, and we can also contact Qin. They agreed to transfer the technology patents, but the remuneration was high, but there was no problem with that, we had the money, and we could not only start the project, but also build more factories. The director of the machinery factory said.
"Hmm. If the problem of technology is solved, it is good. Li Mu just said so. Then he didn't speak again, he kept recording some problems, so that these questions could be well fed back, and his future policy direction, judging from the situation of each factory director, their situation is still very good, at least very optimistic. Positive. This is conducive to the healthy development of Zhaoguo factory enterprises.
