Thank you Mo Jin'an, Eat Big Shark, and Ali for your tips! Take a bow.

At the same time, after the autumn harvest, the entire autonomous towns and villages of Fujian were thrown into a road construction boom, and each autonomous council mobilized young men to participate in the road construction.

The construction machinery and reinforced concrete required for road construction are provided by the security team, but not every road is a cement road, and 80% of the roads are gravel roads.

The gravel road is very simple to repair, first use an excavator to widen the road, and then transport the sand and gravel to pave it, of course, there is also a little technical surname, the roadbed must be laid, otherwise it will not take long to pave the sand and gravel will become potholes. The roads between towns and villages have been greatly improved this winter.

Xia Jun has exchanged more than 10,000 construction machinery, and the daily fuel is a big burden, fortunately, the fuel price at this time is very cheap, and it can be exchanged from the exchange platform, but such a good day is estimated to not be long, because the price of oil will increase over time, and the same is true on the exchange platform.

At the same time, several engineering teams have also begun to build roads between major cities in Fujian, and the amount of construction is also very large, and the scale of steel and cement plants has been relatively large, which has met the needs of construction everywhere

However, this has made the financial expenses of the security corps very large. The road does not have to be repaired too well, as long as it can be opened to traffic, this is Xia Jun's initial requirement for land transportation.

The factories opened by Xia Jun have entered operation one after another, and smuggling is even more rampant, and basically every three days, a 10,000-ton cargo ship sails from Ningde to the United States.

Jeans, cotton cloth, sanitary napkins, as well as paper, lighters, and cigarettes manufactured by textile factories are the main products sold to the United States, and products such as kitchen knives and hacksaws from small hardware factories have also joined the ranks of sales to the United States.

However, the main market for cotton cloth is still in China, and the output of paper is relatively high, half of which is domestic and half is exported to the United States.

According to the news from the United States, Xia Jun's two brands of cigarettes have been extremely successful, and they were basically sold out as soon as they went on the market.

Sanitary napkins have also won the love of American women, lighters are like a whirlwind swept away, Xia Jun produced two kinds of lighters, one is a steel shell, can be refilled, the other is a discardable plastic lighter, both of which are extremely popular.

The first batch of sulfonamides that Xia Jun sold to the United States was all sent to those hospitals, and the trade team in the United States also contacted several newspapers to publish clinical trial reports on sulfonamides.

Only five days later, Tana sent an order for sulfonamides, and it was an order for 100,000 boxes of sulfonamides, and it was clear that the use of sulfonamides was discovered.

Sulfonamides are expensive, a box of sulfonamides costs $2 and costs less than 1 cent.

……

Tana waited in the United States for several days, and seeing that Xia Jun was not in a hurry to find a partner at all, she had to make a compromise and sent a telegram to inform Xia Jun and agree to his request.

In fact, Xia Jun has already begun to ask Chen Jiayi to set up trade groups in European countries, not only in European countries, but also in Southeast Asia, India, Australia and South America.

The establishment of these trade groups allows Xia Jun to buy the best and cheapest raw materials, and more importantly, Xia Jun can buy all kinds of equipment.

For example, if Xia Jun wants to buy a production line for the production of bullets, he does not have to buy it from the United States, many European countries have that industrial capacity, such as Sweden, the Czech Republic and other small countries, Xia Jun does not have to put his eggs in the United States This basket, and the European market is also very large, and his patents must be profitable in Europe.

Since Tana agreed to cooperate, Xia Jun asked the San Francisco trade team to negotiate with Tana about setting up a joint stock company.

The news came back a few days that Tana was going to set up a tampon company, a lighter company, and a cigarette company, and the only thing that needed Xia Jun's technology was the manufacturing method of acetate for filters.

So Xia Jun sent the information to Tana, anyway, the manufacturing method was given to her, how to operate it is her own business, although the manufacturing method of acetate is not available to others, but this thing is about to be invented.

It's one thing for Tana to run her own company, but the patent fees still have to be paid, and Xia Jun still exports these products to the United States.

With the profitability of sulfonamides and the production of other products reaching the maximum value of the factory's capacity, Xia Jun's financial revenue will soar to $10 million in October and is expected to soar to $12 million in November.

At the same time, with the successive granting of patents and the establishment of joint stock companies in various countries, Xia Jun's financial income will continue to grow.

……

After the imposition of tariffs in Fujian, the counties in northwest Fujian have also successively introduced preferential policies to stimulate industrial development, such as tax exemption for one year, free provision of land required for factory buildings, support for product packaging, and support for technology and equipment.

Li Shilin knew this policy, and was the first to get into the textile and paper industries, and as Xia Jun's father-in-law, he was naturally very well-informed.

Although he did not understand why Xia Jun's textile and paper mills did not expand their production scale, the output of cotton cloth and paper was seriously insufficient since the establishment of tariff protection.

A textile mill with an annual output of 30,000 tons is very big in China, but it is a big field in the world, and it is almost a Fujian market, and it also has to take into account exports, where is enough.

If you can set up a textile factory, that is, there is a local market in Fujian, obviously now the son-in-law is stimulating industrial development, then once a textile factory appears, the cotton cloth of the textile factory he opened will inevitably be sold to other places, such as the United States, and the local market will naturally be let out.

The profit of the paper mill is even greater, as far as Li Shilin knows, the annual output of the paper mill in Xia Jun's hand is 300,000 tons, which is not big in the world, and the 300,000 tons of paper are competitive, and they can also be used for export, and the local market can also be caught.

So Li Shilin planned to spend 500,000 silver dollars to set up a textile factory and a paper factory, Li Shilin drove the car given to him by Li Shijing to Li Shijing's office, planning to probe from his daughter, after all, the relationship between him and Xia Jun is still a little detached.

The first update is here! Don't forget the tickets! Yesterday I updated so many words, and today I don't have a manuscript at all, tragedy.
