Young Master Liang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ordered two more warships.

Loew smiled and left with the contract and silver, leaving only Young Master Liang, whose purse was completely deflated, messy in the wind.

This loser man who had just returned to Guangzhou for a few days spent a lot of money in just a few days; Calculate the account: it cost 100,000 taels to order machinery and equipment, and it cost only 3,000 taels to order chemical raw materials, 1.3 million taels for the British battleships in Robin, 600,000 taels for two large equipment in Mauser Jr., 2,622,000 taels for the French to order six warships, and 760,000 taels for two warships in their own shipyard.

Young Master Liang silently calculated, and his face suddenly turned pale; Nima, the total total is actually 5.38 million taels! It's only been a few days, and I've tossed myself into bankruptcy; The speed of this loser is even more ferocious than Zhang Mouhui, who bought and bought her husband bankrupt in Hong Kong in her previous life.

You know, it is 1869, the purchasing power of silver is unprecedentedly powerful, now 1 pound is equivalent to 2.5 taels of silver, 1 tael of silver is equal to 2 US dollars, the original history of the end of the Qing Dynasty 1 pound is equal to 10 taels of silver, 1 US dollar is equal to 2 taels of silver, in just 40 years, silver has depreciated four times. The British can also play the Qing Dynasty by playing finance.

Fortunately, the order of battleships this time is all paid in installments, and only Luo Bin's 1.3 million taels need to be paid in a lump sum, so Young Master Liang has not gone bankrupt for the time being; It's just that if you don't have a large amount of income in the future, you will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Young Master Liang, who was full of thoughts about how to make money, thought hard, but fortunately, he had a sense of advancement, and immediately thought of an idea, the steel plant in Hainan was about to be put into operation, and he could provide steel to the factories in the Guangzhou Development Zone, and now he could provide exclusive business in the entire Qing Dynasty; There are many enterprises in the development zone that need steel, especially the two shipyards are large users of steel; Although this business can't make back the money of those warships in a short period of time, it is better than the exclusive operation of the water for a long time.

There is also a cement plant that is about to be put into operation, which is another good business with good sales, and when the Liang family's business network is completed, his cement can be sold to the whole of China.

There is also coal, the Manchu and Qing dynasties did not have a formal coal mining enterprise, his coal mines in Vietnam have been mined, this coal business is now an exclusive supply, there will be more and more steam ships in the future, as well as thermal power plants in the development zone, all of which are large coal users; I remember that the coal boss in his previous life was a top rich man.

Of course, the fastest money came in like the last time I played Vietnam; It's just that now the expansion of the army has not yet been completed, and it cannot be rushed into battle; It seems that it is better to hurry back to Hainan, get those factories in order, make four types of guns, and when the army expansion and training are completed, you can go to rob the Japanese of silver. Oh, I remember that Japan seems to have a high gold production, so next time I will call Japan to pay compensation for gold.

Young Master Liang, who was full of confidence in his own imagination, hurried back to Hainan, and happened to meet little Mauser coming to look for him, the equipment and personnel of Mauser's company had arrived in Hainan, and the two hurriedly went to Hainan together.

Young Master Liang, who got on the boat, suddenly realized that he had forgotten to send a telegram to his father-in-law Xu Shou, alas, it was a few days late to ask his brother-in-law Xu Jianyin to come over to help. I've spent so much money these days that I accidentally bought a fleet! In addition to the excitement, it is inevitable that something will be missed; Should I have a secretary? As soon as he thought of the secretary, Young Master Liang immediately thought of an S-shaped and upright figure, a charming melon seed face wearing a pair of rimless glasses, which was both endearing and intellectual;

Depend on! The soul of this uncle in his previous life has probably been held back for a long time, and even the object of his previous life has jumped out. Amitabha! Sins and sins, we have a marriage contract in this life, and there are two little Loli who are said to be like flowers waiting for me to marry.

Young Master Liang, who returned to the Hainan base, plunged headlong into the military factory under preparation, and he didn't remember the female secretary at all.

There are more than 70 European engineers and technicians in the steel plant, cement factory and military factory, more than 100 children of the Liang family and more than 500 workers found by Liang Haowen, more than 5,000 young and strong Vietnamese laborers, and even god-level figures such as Master Liang and Little Mauser. These factories began to run at high speed like a precision machine; Each plant was immediately put into production.

In fact, the steel plant and the cement plant have been basically installed, and only a few rolling workshops and special steel workshops required by Master Liang are still being installed and commissioned.

The military factory is very large-scale, with four branches: firearms factory, artillery factory, ammunition factory and explosives factory, and the firearms factory is divided into four workshops: rifle, submachine gun, light machine gun and heavy machine gun; The artillery branch is divided into two workshops: light artillery and heavy artillery; The ammunition branch is divided into a bullet workshop and an artillery shell workshop; The explosives branch is divided into two workshops: smokeless gunpowder and yellow explosives. The overall size of the military factories has surpassed that of the steel plants.

Master Liang, who devoted himself to the military industry, quickly found the feeling of his previous life, arranged various tasks in an orderly manner, and instructed everyone to install and debug the machinery and equipment in each workshop; His familiarity made little Mauser believe that he was a skilled military talent, but what puzzled him was how this young man could have such great ability at such a young age? Is it true that anyone is born with this talent? This mysterious oriental country is really incomprehensible.

The next processes were smooth and smooth, the blast furnace of the steel plant practiced molten iron, continued to return to the furnace to train steel, and then practiced special steel according to Master Liang's exclusive secret recipe, and the steel of the rifle came out endlessly. Since then, the blast furnace of the steel plant has been working continuously, and a large amount of steel raw materials have been produced.

Young Master Liang instructed the European technicians to operate the machine tools, and produced various spare parts for the rifle according to his drawings, and it took only three days for the first "Hanyang-made" to be launched, and then the European technicians were continuously producing.

Little Mauser is an expert, picked up this heavy rifle, carefully examined it, and picked up the bolt to operate, by feeling that this is a good gun, and the rifle used in Europe is not the same concept at all, but there is no bullet now, and it cannot be actually shot; At this time, Young Master Liang didn't have time to explain the superiority of this rifle to him, so he plunged into the ammunition factory to produce bullets.
