Industrialization refers to the development process in which industrial production activities dominate the national economy of a country or region. nā
Even any junior high school student in the 21st century understands that the completion of industrialization is an indispensable foundation for a region or country to truly become rich and powerful. This point, as a later generation, Wang Mo naturally understands.
Nearly four months after taking office in Chongqing, Wang Mo finally cleared the obstacles and completely controlled the military and political power in Chongqing after a game with the Elders' Association. Therefore, Wang Mo also put the industrial layout of eastern Sichuan on the agenda.
However, the problem is that industrialization involves a wide range of industrial projects and involves a wide range of industries. With the current situation of the small-scale peasant economy in eastern Sichuan at this time, it is obviously impossible to become a fat man in one go. So, what industrial projects should be invested in the eastern Sichuan region first?
Wang Mo was just a soldier and really couldn't understand this, so he decided to learn from the development process of the Celestial Empire in later generations.
How did the Celestial Empire complete its initial industrialization? Wang Mo once heard an old-timer who had personally walked through the period of large-scale construction mention that at that time, the state formulated a plan to support almost every county in the country to build five types of industrial projects, including small coal mines, small iron and steel plants, small fertilizer plants, small cement factories and small machinery factories, thus forming a relatively independent industrial system that can independently solve the most basic needs of industrial and agricultural production.
For the eastern Sichuan region, the steel plant can not be considered for the time being, because there are no corresponding skilled workers. In the same way, even if the machinery factory is built, there is no way to produce industrial and agricultural machinery, at most it is to engage in the production and maintenance of mechanical workpieces, which is regarded as training and reserve skilled workers.
The other three types of industrial projects should not be much of a problem, Wang Mo values the fertilizer plant the most, but there is still a lack of a plant director with rich chemical knowledge to take care of the day-to-day affairs of the fertilizer plant. Where do you go to find this person?
Knock-knock-knock
While thinking about it, Wang Mo heard a knock on the door, so he responded: "Come in!" ā
Pushing the door in, it was a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner, who was the German Karl who wanted to come to Sichuan to mine but was fooled by Wang Mo to build a power plant in Luzhou.
Seeing that the person who came in was Carl, Wang Mo smiled and said, "How is it, Mr. Carl, did you bring me good news?" ā
"Of course, Gregory." Karl said with some excitement, "You may not know how rich the coal resources are in the area around Guang'an, God, I really want to dig up all this lovely black gold now!" ā
Wang Mo had a comrade-in-arms in his previous life, whose hometown was Guang'an, Sichuan, and he often heard this comrade-in-arms scold those coal bosses in Guang'an for how black-hearted and how many coal miners were killed. Since he knew about this situation, Wang Mo naturally had to take advantage of it, so he asked the German Karl to take people to the surrounding area of Guang'an to conduct detailed exploration.
Although the Luzhou power plant created a lot of income for Carl, this guy still remembered mining in Sichuan, and when he heard the news that Wang Mo asked him to take people to Guang'an to explore the coal mine, he went over with exploration equipment and personnel without saying a word.
"It's a beautiful job, Mr. Karl, and I'll have someone send you this commission for you and your exploration team." Wang Mo said.
Sensing that Wang Mo had the intention of issuing an eviction order, Carl immediately became anxious, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, no, no, the chief man, I don't want the exploration commission, but please allow me to invest in Guang'an Coal Mine." ā
"You want to invest in Guang'an Coal Mine?" Wang Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Karl, you may not understand the current situation in China, there is a lot of chaos in the local area, and Guang'an is not within the administrative jurisdiction of my eastern Sichuan. If you go there to invest in mining, it is still a small problem to lose all your money, and the safety of your life may not be guaranteed. ā
Carl is also a China expert, and understands that what Wang Mo said is true, so he looks very frustrated, but he still asks unwillingly: "Since Guang'an is not within the administrative jurisdiction of eastern Sichuan, then the people you sent over to open the mine will not be a problem, Chief?" ā
Wang Mo smiled coldly: "Of course not!" Even if you give the people over there in Guang'an 110,000 ambitious leopard galls, they will never dare to touch half a single hair of my people! ā
This is the confidence to hold a strong army, as long as someone has a gun in these years, power is also reasonable. Although Guang'an is only close to eastern Sichuan and is not within the administrative jurisdiction of eastern Sichuan Province, there is an independent division in Chongqing, and as long as Guang'an is not a fool, he will never dare to squeak at Wang Mo sending people to open coal mines.
"Then the chief, please allow me to take a stake in your coal mine, I just need to be a minority shareholder!" Karl pleaded again.
"That's ......" Wang Mo pondered, looked at Carl who was full of anticipation, and thought that he might be used in the future, and he would always have to give some benefits, so he said, "Okay, for the sake of Mr. Carl's contribution to the development of my Sichuan, I can agree with you to take shares." You list the machinery and equipment needed for the excavation of a coal mine, and I will be responsible for procuring it. However, I have to make it clear to you that no matter where you want to mine mineral resources, you have to pay the local government for the extraction of mineral resources. So, this mining fee must be converted into a stake in Chongqing Zhenfufu, agree? ā
Karl thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "No problem, I agree, this is a reasonable share distribution." ā
Carl is also an understanding person, knowing that without Chongqing Zhenfu as a backer, this coal mine in Guang'an will definitely not be able to open, not to mention converting mining costs into shares, even if he directly takes dry shares, he has to admit it.
"Well, Mr. Karl, you will be the general manager of the coal mining company, and you will be fully responsible for the formation and specific operation of the coal mining company. I will only send someone to monitor the accounts and will not interfere in other matters. As for the specific distribution of shares, how about you find a professional accountant to calculate and then send it to me for review? Although what Wang Mo said was a question, the tone was unquestionable.
Carl didn't have a problem with this arrangement, and quickly agreed: "Yes, everything will be done according to what you say, Chief." ā
Subsequently, Carl left Wang Mo's company and went to recruit employees to form a coal mining company. I have to say that this guy has an almost obsessive passion for the management of mineral resources, which may be related to his many years of experience in mining enterprises.
In this way, the coal mine project can be regarded as a landing. As for the cement plant project, it is relatively simple, whether it is to support a few private cement factories or to set up a large military-managed cement plant, there is no problem. However, for Wang Mo, he is more inclined to support private cement factories, which is conducive to the development of national capital, and regain the local market that was encroached upon by foreigners after development and growth in the future.
As for the rest of the fertilizer plant, you still have to find a person in charge who is proficient in chemical knowledge, otherwise you will not be able to play.
Forget it, just look for this talent slowly, and implement a few other projects first.
Thinking of this, Wang Mo called Pang Hai from the Finance Department over and wanted to withdraw a sum of money from the treasury of Zhenfu Mansion to start those industrial projects. There is no way, the 800,000 oceans he dug up from Yin Changheng through arms sales have already been almost spent, and the remaining 100,000 oceans have to ensure the military salaries and rations of the independent division.
However, after Pang Hai came over, he gave Wang Mo an answer that he didn't want to hear the most - no money.
"What do you say, no money? How can there be no money! The financial secretary, you have rectified, and the tax group has also cleaned up for you, don't tell me that you still can't collect taxes! It's not like you're the guts of reaching out to the taxes, right? Wang Mo was so angry that he disregarded his identity, and grabbed Pang Hai's collar extremely roughly, almost not strangling the two-hundred-pound fat man to hold his breath on the spot.
Pang Hai, who was a little out of breath, argued with difficulty: "No...... Chief, it's really none of my business. After the abolition of the tax card, the financial secretary's biggest income was gone. The summer tax was divided by the various robes before the 'public mouth', and as for the rest of the miscellaneous fees and miscellaneous taxes that had just begun to be collected, there was not much at all, just barely enough for the salary expenses of the personnel of the various departments of the Zhenfu Mansion. Overall length...... I'm telling the truth, and if you don't believe me, you can send someone to check the accounts. ā
Wang Mo let go of Pang Hai, and when he calmed down, he already believed what Pang Hai said. He had only just taken back the power of the Zhenfu Mansion for less than a month, and it was already very good that the income of the Finance Department could maintain the normal operation of the Zhenfu Mansion, where could there be money to invest in industrial projects that cost a lot of money.
Coal mining companies, fertilizer plants, cement factories and simple machinery factories combined, even if the relevant industrial equipment can be purchased from the industrial machine at cost price, it will cost at least 100,000 oceans, plus a start-up capital, how to barely complete the investment and construction of these industrial projects.
Money, money, I really don't know that firewood and rice are expensive!
Sometimes, Wang Mo really wants to pull the independent division out of Sichuan to loot a lot, so that the money is so simple. Of course, this is impossible. Even if his head really exploded by the door, it would be impossible for him to do such a self-defeating thing.
Until he left Zhenfu Mansion in the afternoon, Wang Mo still couldn't think of any way to get at least 200,000 oceans in a short period of time.
Wang Mo, who was in an irritable mood, did not go back to the mansion to rest, but unconsciously walked downstairs to Huiquan, so he simply went upstairs to find a place to drink.
After ordering a few pots of wine and a few plates of beef, peanuts and other appetizers, Wang Mo found a private room near the window, pulled Erhu to sit down without saying anything, and said, "Erhu, sit down and drink with me!" ā
At this moment, Wang Mo can be regarded as somewhat understanding the difficulties of Yuan Shikai's people in high positions, they may not want to betray the country, but the country is poor and weak, and they can't do anything without money, and they can't even maintain their rule without money.
The word money is really sad, Wang Mo really wants to ask the great power who threw himself into this era: "Can you just do it, give Lao Tzu a golden rain, don't toss Lao Tzu so much, okay?" ā
