After the issuance of Fuxing coins, Xia Jun began to deal with the factories in his hands, and due to the capture of Fuzhou, the Mawei Ship Administration Bureau was also taken over by the East China Temporary Political Axe.

Mawei Shipyard was a large-scale, well-equipped shipyard invested by the Manchu Qing Dynasty during the First Sino-Japanese War, and the largest tonnage ship ever built was the Tongji practice cruiser of more than 1,900 tons, and there was no bigger one.

After inspecting the shipyard, Xie Baozhang reported to Xia Jun that the shipyard was in normal condition and that more than 1,000 shipbuilders were still in Mawei, that is, the shipyard had already owed them three months' wages.

"Immediately ask the Ministry of Finance to issue salaries and make up all the arrears." Xia Jun immediately made a phone call to go out, explained the matter clearly, and began to plan to revitalize the shipbuilding industry.

Shipbuilding requires mechanics, and the workers at the Mawei shipyard are obviously not capable of building larger ships, especially warships.

Xia Jun didn't want to buy shipbuilding equipment directly from the exchange platform, thinking that it was very expensive, and it was better to buy it from other countries.

In terms of mechanics, it is better to hire them from other countries and then train their own shipbuilding technicians.

Xia Jun called Xie Baozhang and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate to preside over shipbuilding?" ”

"Report to the chairman, there is a candidate, and I have been recruited into the navy." Xie Baozhang obviously had a plan for a long time, and he also recruited talents in this area and recruited them into the navy.

"Oh, then let him come to Jian'an to see me tomorrow." Xia Jun was surprised, and said to Xie Baozhang in surprise.

……

The next day, a man named Wang Chengyi entered Xia Jun's office, and he was the candidate recommended by Xie Baozhang to preside over the Mawei Shipyard.

Wang Chengyi looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, a native of Fuzhou, and a fellow villager with Xie Baozhang. He studied shipbuilding in the United Kingdom, and after graduation, he worked as a manager in a shipyard in the United Kingdom, and recently received a letter from Xie Baozhang, so he resigned from the preferential treatment of the British shipyard and resolutely returned to Fujian.

Xia Jun talked with Wang Chengyi in the office for a long time, although he didn't know how to build ships, but he could see that Wang Chengyi was very motivated, and he was full of longing for the future, but the premise was to ask for money.

"As long as there are enough funds, 10,000-ton warships can be built in three to five years." Wang Yifu said to Xia Jun that what he was most worried about at this time was still the problem of funds. You can buy these things, you can't buy them in this country, you can always buy them in other countries, but it all takes money.

"Funding is not a problem, I will allocate five million dollars to you in the early stage, and I will also ship you a 10,000-ton shipyard and merchant shipbuilding equipment." Xia Jun said to Wang Chengyi, "First of all, I want you to build a 10,000-ton merchant ship, first determine our competitive position in merchant ships, fishing boats, passenger ships, etc., and then use the funds accumulated in these projects to build warships." ”

"10,000-ton merchant ships! It's true? Wang Chengyi was shocked, you must know that among the German merchant ships at this time, there are only a few dozen 10,000-ton ships, and most of the merchant ships are seven or eight thousand tons.

The British merchant ships are not as new as those in Germany, and there are absolutely no merchant ships that have been used for thirty or forty years in the merchant ships of the Germans, while many of the merchant ships of the British have been used for many years, and many of them are only one or two thousand tons, but Britain also has merchant ships of 10,000 tons or 20,000 tons.

"The dockyard and equipment will be there in a few days." Xia Jun nodded and said, "In terms of skilled workers, I will also send people to European and American countries to dig corners, and then it's up to you." ”

Xia Jun is not blindly transfusing blood to the shipyard, but to let the shipyard generate profitable projects as soon as possible, and civilian ships such as manufacturer ships, fishing boats, and passenger ships are obviously the fastest to make money, and the profits of the manufacturer ships will be greater after the outbreak of World War I.

Wang Chengyi's face was excited, and he immediately assured, "Don't worry, chairman, I will definitely run the shipyard well." ”

"Okay, I'll give you full authority to manage the shipyard." Xia Jun nodded.

Wang Chengyi came out of Xia Jun's office, and the administration department sent a letter of appointment after a while, and also sent a cashier and an accountant to assist Wang Chengyi.

The Ministry of Finance will soon transfer the funds to the shipyard's East China bank account, and if the shipyard wants to use the money, the cashier, the accountant, and the factory director must go to the bank at the same time to withdraw the money.

After Wang Chengyi left, Xia Jun began to exchange docks and merchant ship manufacturing equipment, Xia Jun's exchange of equipment is mainly to build merchant ships, fishing boats, passenger ships, the exchange is ordinary level equipment, the current shipyard lacks technicians, these mechanics to invite from abroad, so advanced equipment exchange, manufacturing technology may leak.

The manufacturing equipment of these merchant ships, fishing boats, and passenger ships has reached 30 million points, and with this batch of equipment, Mawei Shipyard can have a displacement of 500,000 tons of ships.

Although it is more expensive, it is much more cost-effective than buying a ship directly, because Xia Jun will need 300,000 points to buy a 10,000-ton cargo ship, and after purchasing this batch of equipment, the shipbuilding capacity will be increased to 500,000 tons of displacement, as long as it takes two to three years to compare with direct exchange, and the cost of self-manufacturing, at most four or five years can pay off, and after four or five years, it is equivalent to earning these equipment and docks.

It's definitely a good deal, and of course Xia Jun has a new model for shipbuilding, which is to put the parts in inland factories and then transport them to the shipyard for assembly. This time, the shipyard was built, and this model was not adopted, because Xia Jun did not have a few factories in his hands.

Relatively speaking, Xia Jun was not too enthusiastic about building battleships, Xia Jun was more interested in building submarines, because the price of making submarines was cheaper, so he temporarily entrusted the task of building battleships to Wang Chengyi.

On the navy side, Xia Jun allocated 20 million yuan to Xie Baozhang after exchanging the equipment of the shipyard, and if Xie Baozhang wanted to build a battleship, he would go to the Mawei shipyard to coordinate, or go to a foreign shipyard to order.

Xia Jun has a naval development plan in his heart, mainly developing submarines and aircraft carriers in the future, and in terms of battleships, he only plans to build an 'ultimate senseless ship' with a marked surname, but now is not the time.

The workers of the Mawei Shipyard soon received the wages owed to them by the Qing court, and Xia Jun ordered their salaries to be raised.

Wang Chengyi rushed to the Mawei Shipyard overnight and began to take full charge of the Mawei Shipyard, and the first thing he did after taking office was to rectify the shipyard management system, select capable personnel to serve as the management class, and apply the management experience he had accumulated in the British shipyard to the Mawei Shipyard.

While Wang Chengyi was rectifying the Mawei shipyard, Xia Jun promised that his equipment and dockyard would arrive on the third day after he arrived in Mawei, which made Wang Chengyi have to be shocked by the efficiency of the young chairman.
