Chapter 52: Industrial Layout
The second is to thank the two classmates of 'so lonely' and 'Phoenix' for their rewards.
There are also more than a dozen 12,000 Cui Geng tickets to see the side dishes are very stressful, try to break out tomorrow night!
The number of words in the chapter has shrunk recently, it's not that the dishes are lazy, anyway, before the next list, 200,000 words will be fuller.
In addition, thank you again to the brothers, the new book list has risen to third, and next week's day is not expected to be very good, a lot of aunts have released new books, and they have caught up with the gods in a daze, which is depressing enough.
――――
In Shuixi, Jian'an County, a land full of crops, one-fifth of the land had been requisitioned by this time, and a sturdy temporary pontoon bridge was repaired before the battle against the Qing army.
A group of construction workers is building a new bridge, which is planned to be eight meters wide and 150 tons to bear, with a surplus of 50 tons and a limit of 200 tons.
The bridge directly from the platform to invite the engineering team to repair, there is absolutely no possibility of cutting corners, those who repair the project in later generations, often steal the surplus piece, some even do not even meet the standard, it is completely a tofu scum project.
At this time, all departments have successively moved to Shuixi, and the site of Jianzhou School has also been set in Shuixi, with a 500-acre plot of land encircled and 500 acres of land reserved behind.
Next to Konju University is the buildings of various departments, which are relatively simple to repair, and a small community will be built for the families of the members of various departments of the security corps.
It's just a very ordinary community, but it's not very ordinary in this era, but the community is still under construction.
After Li Shijing got married, in addition to taking care of Xia Jun's daily life, she also helped Xia Jun manage her finances and assisted Xia Jun in managing the operation of various factories.
At the same time, Li Shijing is also teaching at Jianzhou University and serving as the dean of the School of Industry and Business.
Xia Jun has already posted a notice to recruit female soldiers, and is ready to match Li Shijing with a platoon of female soldiers to protect her safety, if it weren't for the fact that the pomp of a platoon is already very exaggerated, Xia Jun even wants to get a company.
At the same time, the army expansion plan is also in progress, and after this expansion, the strength of the security regiment will increase to more than 7,000 people, and it will not be a problem to penetrate the whole of Fujian.
Expansion has become very important, if you want to have coal mines, iron mines, you must expand to the south, Fujian still has more coal and iron, but there are very few in northern Fujian.
At this time, Jianzhou University developed rapidly, and the number of teachers and students had grown to 1,200, and because of the development of the MLM model, many teachers and students came to Jianzhou University every month.
The expansion of the army and the growth of the number of teachers and students of Jianzhou University, although there is a financial income from agriculture, which is not a problem for the time being, but the development of industry requires funds, after all, the speed of capital return is not so fast as raw materials are imported and exported.
Of course, Xia Jun did not let go of buying raw materials from other provinces.
At this time, Li Shilin, as Xia Jun's father-in-law, Xia Jun also handed over the share of raw material procurement to him, but the price must be fair before he admits it.
As for Liu Jinshan, the funds have not been returned recently, and it is obvious that there is no way to provide more raw materials for a while.
Liu Jinshan is a businessman supported by Xia Jun, but his starting point is relatively low, so he has to be given a certain amount of time to accumulate capital to be able to get on the table.
In terms of raw material imports, the British, who had been contacted by the purchasing team sent to Fuzhou, had recently shipped 5,000 tons of cotton from India.
directly hollowed out the silver dollar in Xia Jun's hand.
Textile mills are the fastest-growing, because the raw materials are still relatively abundant, the textile mills are running almost all day long, and the price of finished cotton cloth is very cheap.
The wholesale price of a foot of cotton cloth is only 0.12 yuan, while the wholesale price of foreign cloth is 0.2 yuan, which is so cheap that the cotton cloth of the textile factory quickly spread to all parts of Fujian.
The profit of the textile mill can be said to be the largest, and the profit that can be made in a month is 500,000 silver dollars. The profits of the paper mill are also good, but only ordinary paper is made, and the profit is so much, Xia Jun wants to make the paper mill transform to high-grade paper, but it is not in line with the international market at present.
In order to deal with the shortage of funds and the problem of raw material imports, Xia Jun hurriedly asked his brother-in-law to set up a 'Jianzhou Bank' to absorb people's funds.
On the one hand, troops were dispatched to escort cotton cloth and three shifts of production were carried out in textile factories to convert the cotton in the warehouse into products and sell them as soon as possible to recover funds. Cotton cloth can be sold locally to collect funds, and at the same time, it can impact the market occupied by foreign cloth.
At the same time, Xia Jun set up a group to go to the United States to set up a trading company, led by Chen Jiayi, who had just returned from studying in the United States and was studying trade.
When this trading company is set up, it will be able to solve the import and export problems to a large extent.
At the same time, the purchasing team in Fuzhou was asked to continue to contact the Englishman named 'Edward', who had been trading between China, India and Britain for a long time.
Obviously, the Englishman could obviously buy him raw materials from India, which is very abundant.
At the same time, Li Shijing also wrote a letter to a good classmate at Yale University, offering her a salary of 600 silver dollars a month, that is, 300 US dollars.
The salary of an American soldier is only a dozen dollars, and $300 is indeed very high.
According to Li Shijing, the classmate she invited was named Tana, who was very familiar with the patent policies of various countries and could invite a full-time student to apply for patents in various countries.
Xia Jun now has a lot of patents to apply, zippers, cigarette filters, lighters, etc., these patents can be preemptively registered.
These patents are naturally meant to steal the light.
……
While arranging the trading company, Xia Jun directly invited two engineering teams from the exchange platform to build two roads.
One was from Jian'an to Ningde, and Xia Jun planned to turn Ningde into a smuggling port to reduce the cost of commodity exports.
One is from Jian'an to Pucheng, and Pucheng to Xianxiaguan. Out of Xianxia Pass, it is the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and after the completion of this highway, you can transport goods from the land to the mainland for sale.
Although Xianxia Pass is not in hand, the highway can be dug from the edge of Xianxia Pass, and a company can be sent to garrison it at that time.
Because the construction is relatively high-end, and the tunnel needs to be drilled at Xianxia Pass, these two roads directly cost Xia Jun 1 million points.
Coupled with the previous miscellaneous expenses, Xia Jun still has 5.2 million points left in his hands, and the people's income in July is almost there.
