With the opening of railways in various coastal port cities, along with the construction of shipyards, Fuzhou Mawei is the center of shipbuilding, and at this time it is expanding to various ports.

As a result of the large amount of money borrowed, as soon as the shipyards were completed, a large number of orders were immediately received.

Now the shipbuilding industry in several coastal provinces in East China is that gringos do not place orders, they place orders themselves, and they need ships anyway.

Fishing boats, passenger ships, cargo ships, coal carriers, oil tankers and other vessels can be built, and the newly established East China Fishery Company and the East China Ocean Fishing Company need a large number of fishing boats.

The East China Ocean Shipping Company also needs a large number of cargo ships.

The cargo ships of the East China Ocean Shipping Company are not mainly used to carry various international transportation, but are mainly used for the transportation of raw materials required by factories in the East China Autonomous Provinces, as well as the transportation of China's export goods.

Wang Chengyi, who presided over the East China Shipbuilding Company, actually had some hidden worries in his heart, would there be huge losses when building so many ships?

His concerns are not unreasonable, after all, with such rapid development at any cost, with the current market environment, there is no way to recover the investment.

Although it is said that the boat built was bought by himself, it is clear that it will soon reach its limit. When the capital chain is broken, the consequences will be very terrifying.

It's just that at the insistence of the chairman, Wang Chengyi can only do it.

Wang Chengyi was not only happy about the chairman's enthusiasm for developing the shipbuilding industry, but also felt that his enthusiasm was excessive.

Of course, if Wang Chengyi had known about the situation after the outbreak of World War I, he would not have thought so.

The reason why Xia Jun allocated a large amount of money to maintain the operation of his shipbuilding industry was to prepare for the First World War, as long as the current shipbuilding industry can maintain the operation, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money during the First World War.

Since the beginning of the year, shipbuilders in various shipyards have been working late at night, and many small-tonnage ships have been released early.

The best-selling of these small-tonnage ships made Wang Chengyi slightly relieved, because these small-tonnage ships are very advanced, and the cost is not higher than that of foreigners, so the sales volume in the international market is very good.

On small-tonnage ships, China's shipbuilding industry has gradually moved towards the position of the boss and has become the dominant industry of China's shipbuilding industry, and more and more orders have been sent from various countries around the world.

As for the large-tonnage cargo ships, they have just been built now, and their fame has not yet begun, so they have not received any orders internationally, only a bunch of orders from the East China Ocean Shipping Company.

Shipbuilding and navigation schools are also flourishing, both of which have invited foreigners from abroad to teach, and many students have been enrolled.

In the context of huge capital injections and Xia Jun's purchase of technology on the exchange platform, China's shipbuilding industry began to show rapid growth and development.

This kind of development made Wang Chengyi a little frightened, after all, the higher he climbed, the worse he fell. At Xia Jun's insistence, this rapid growth continues.

Wang Chengyi opened the account book and calculated, based on the current shipbuilding of 30 million pounds, according to this overtime manufacturing speed, the long can only be maintained until September, and then the funds will almost bottom out.

After a while, Wang Chengyi wrote a report suggesting that the shipbuilding speed should be slowed down, and even if there is a loan support from the East China Bank, I am afraid it can only be supported until the end of next year.

This report was quickly handed over to Xia Jun, who smiled after reading it, it is enough to hold out until the end of next year, and then the first war will break out.

At that time, the transportation industry will definitely develop, and now there will be no problem in building more ships, especially after the Germans have obtained advanced submarine technology, their submarine warfare will obviously be carried out in advance.

Before the outbreak of this war, in the first half of the industrial development, the textile industry achieved brilliant results, due to the low price of cotton, so the textile industry has obvious competitive advantages.

The rise of the textile industry has led to the garment industry.

The garment industry is facing those countries in Europe and the United States, after all, few people in those countries make their own clothes, while other poor countries basically buy their own cloth to make clothes.

At the same time, the apparel market in China has also expanded.

As people gradually become richer, people sometimes choose to buy clothes in clothing stores, and because the wages of female surnames at work have also risen, it is more cost-effective for female surnames to go out to work, so fewer and fewer people will make their own clothes.

The textile market of Britain and Ben in China has basically collapsed, and there are very few cotton cloths on the market that can be seen produced in Britain and Ben.

This is especially true of steel, where China's steel market has been dominated by the East China Autonomous Axe, and the UK has lost its interest in this regard.

In terms of coal mining, Britain still occupies a certain market, but the problem is that after the coal mining in Anhui and Shanxi, as long as the railway is opened, there is basically nothing to do with the British.

These commodities are not limited to domestic, East China's textiles began to be exported to foreign countries in large quantities, and the Southeast Asian market can basically see Chinese and British textiles fighting fiercely. In the United States, which has implemented a zero-tariff policy, garment factories in East China sell their products very well, and cotton cloth sales are also good.

Papermaking has become stronger, and now the paper made in East China provinces has gained a firm foothold in the world, and the market share is further expanding.

Especially for special paper, the special paper produced by East China Group has occupied most of the international market, and the profit of special paper is very high.

Plastic products are even more emerging, due to a large amount of oil extracted from the world's largest oil field in Rashid Arabia, East China Petrochemical Company has refined a large number of plastic materials, which are made into a variety of products, among which the packaging industry is the most widely used, and many factories use these plastics to make a variety of daily necessities.

The products packaged with plastic film are obviously very good in appearance, and many goods in East China provinces can suppress competitors by packaging at this time.

In the soda industry, the soda ash and caustic soda of the East China Chemical Company basically occupy most of the international market, and the United States has been beaten a big blow because of the zero-tariff policy with China, and the American soda industry has lost the protection of tariffs, and a large number of factories have been shut down by the menacing Chinese alkali. The paper industry also closed down in large numbers, and specialty paper mills were almost all killed.

What is even more tragic is that the breeding industry in the United States has suffered the worst shock in history in terms of chicken raising, and chicken farms have closed down one after another.

In addition, the bicycles and motorcycles manufactured by Huadong Group have also entered the American market and the European market in large numbers, and the performance is extremely eye-catching.

A new type of electrical appliance like a tape recorder has set off a trend in the world, and people have begun to abandon outdated discs and begin to use tape recorders with clear sound quality and low cost, and East China Group has become the world's largest manufacturer of tape recorders and tapes.

The most unfortunate is the American company Mobil, which has been squeezed out of China's kerosene market by nearly 50%, although it can still be supported because of zero tariffs on both sides, but it is relatively reluctant.

In the international kerosene market, the kerosene of the East China Petroleum Company has also gained a place, and the market of the Baku Kerosene Plant Owners Alliance has been embezzled a lot, and the Mobil Oil Company is better.

The private capital is just as strong, and all kinds of goods are constantly emerging, and because of the beautiful packaging, they are selling well.

In the first half of the year, the industry completed an output value of 2.2 billion yuan, and this year's industrial output value is expected to exceed 5 billion, most of which are contributed by advantageous industries.

The rapid rise of China's industry has naturally attracted some attention in the international market, but compared with Britain and the United States, this export is still a little small.

U.S. products in China have begun to drive straight into China because of the abolition of toll levies by the East China Autonomous Government, but as long as you count the trade balance, you will find that the trade volume is still only 2/3 of East China's goods exported to the United States, and there is still a one-third of the difference.

Although the sales of American goods in the Chinese market have increased after the abolition of tolls, the problem is that the sales of East China goods have also increased in the United States, and they have increased a lot.

This was unexpected by the Americans, who underestimated the ability of the East China Autonomous Axe to develop industry.

...... "The approximate output value of our industry is 2.2 billion, and in terms of agricultural output value, the output value of aquaculture, forestry and fishery in the first half of the year is nearly 1.3 billion, and the profit of East China Group has been 300 million yuan. Li Shengguo handed over the data from the first half of the year to Xia Jun, and the industrial development in the first half of the year was affected by the second revolution and was slightly hindered, but the impact was very small.

"What about overseas assets?" Xia Jun asked.

"Overseas assets have not been counted so far, but there are almost 200 million!" Li Shengguo said, Xia Jun nodded, although he said that the profit of 200 million is ten times different from the British overseas assets of nearly 200 million pounds, but as long as this growth rate is maintained, then it will inevitably surpass the United Kingdom.

"Recently, we found that the economy of Yueben has shown a downward trend, and the decline is relatively obvious." Li Shengguo said with a smile: "The current monetary tightening, so there is a phenomenon of many peasant workers going bankrupt, and their newly appointed cabinet has increased the military spending of the navy, so the economy has deteriorated even more. In addition, our industry has a very great impact on the industry, because they are operating in industries that do not require any technical surname, which is the first advantageous industry we develop. At the current rate, their situation will continue to deteriorate. ”

"As soon as the Europeans start fighting, the economy will come up, and it is unlikely that it will continue to deteriorate." Xia Jun shook his head and said, Xia Jun is very happy about the increase in the military expenditure of the navy, now there are ships to fight, and those are all points!

Li Shengguo thought for a while and said, "Brother-in-law, where are we going to put the money next?" ”
