Chapter 58: Basic Investment (Sixth Update)
After Xu Chongzhi took Sun Daoren's place, he completely ignored Xia Jun's expansion everywhere in Fujian, especially Xia Jun's infiltration into the Ningde region.
The strength of the new army in the Ningde area has not been damaged, and there are still more than 5,000 people.
Xu Chongzhi also knew that the strength of the Jianzhou Security Corps was not something that could be provoked by the provisional tenth town, and at the same time, as a revolutionary party, he had no reason to provoke the Jianzhou Security Corps.
In this way, the two sides are at peace.
Within a month, the population of Xia Jun's territory had skyrocketed to 4.3 million, and the popular sentiment index in northwest Fujian had increased to 4.99, while the overall average was only 3.6.
In August, the people's heart points can increase by 15.78 million points, while the points on the territory have increased by 6 million points, and the fight against bandits has increased by another 800,000 points, and Xia Jun's points have become very rich.
On September 1, Xia Jun's points soared to 23 million points.
Xia Jun is very skilled in squandering points, and 23 million points are enough for him to build many factories.
Just when Xia Jun was about to build a factory, Chen Jiayi sent a telegram back from the United States saying that he couldn't buy oil.
This doesn't make sense!
Soon Chen Jiayi sent back a telegram, which said that Mobil had controlled the extraction, transportation, and sale of American oil, and that they did not sell oil.
As for why he didn't sell oil, Rockefeller discovered in his early years as a worker that the profit generated by selling one gallon of kerosene could be compared to selling two barrels of crude oil, which is why Rockefeller entered the oil industry.
Because the oil in the United States is monopolized by Mobil, the trading companies do not want to buy cheap oil at all, and if the price is higher, they can buy it, but it is not cost-effective.
The world's oil exploitation was monopolized by the United States and Tsarist Russia, which accounted for 98% and 92% of the world's oil exploitation from the 20s of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The oil in the United States was monopolized by the Mobil Oil Company, and the oil in Tsarist Russia was monopolized by the 'Baku Kerosene Owners Alliance'.
Xia Jun's plan to purchase oil couldn't help but come to naught, and he didn't spend 100,000 points to buy information about the development of the oil industry in the system data block.
Through reading materials, it is found that the oil companies controlled by the Rockefeller consortium will be forcibly split by the new president next year, although Rockefeller still controls more than 200,000 of the more than 800,000 shares, but the monopoly position is not as good as before.
But this will have to wait until next year, and this year is considered a no-show.
Xia Jun had no choice but to consider getting crude oil from other countries, or going to other countries to start oil companies, after all, oil extraction in other countries is very low.
Xia Jun's plan to start a petrochemical plant fell through, so he had to build a coal-based chemical plant instead.
However, in terms of oil, Mobil Oil Company does not sell to them, which does not mean that other countries do not sell it, but it takes a certain amount of time to contact, and this is done slowly.
The lighter manufacturer is according to the original plan, although there is no crude oil, but the refined oil can still be bought, the refined oil in this year is not very expensive, the lighter has a good profit, and after the invention of the lighter, the match market will be squeezed out to a large extent, thus hitting the foreign fire market.
A small hardware manufacturing plant will also be built to produce zippers and other small hardware.
After these factories were built, Xia Jun had a textile factory, a paper factory, a cigarette factory, a canning factory, a lighter manufacturing factory, a small hardware manufacturing factory, and a coal chemical factory.
The profits generated by these seven factories should be enough to support fiscal expenditure.
These factories have purchased advanced equipment, and a total of nearly 500 points have been spent on Xia Jun, and the equipment of these factories has been exchanged by Xia Jun, but the exchange platform has not yet been delivered.
After all, Xia Jun has not yet planned the site of many factories.
After increasing the investment in the for-profit factory, Xia Jun began to invest in basic industries, this time he was rich, and exchanged for a level 4 Fujian resource distribution map, spending nearly 1.5 million points.
The 1.5 million points were worth spent, and Xia Jun soon discovered many iron mines and coal mines.
Fujian iron ore is distributed in 20 counties, including Longyan, Zhangping, Anxi, Datian, Dehua, Hua'an, Nanjing, Yongding, Shanghang, Liancheng, Changting, Yong'an, Sanming, Youxi, Jiangle, Nanping, Shunchang, Shaowu, Zhenghe and Zhouning.
Due to the different geological structure characteristics and metallogenic conditions, they are mainly distributed in Longyan, Zhangping, Anxi, Datian, Dehua and other counties (cities). Its proven reserves account for 97.25% of the total proven reserves in the province.
The mining of iron ore in Fujian Province is mainly open-pit, and the main production mines are: Panluo Iron Mine, Yangshan Iron Mine in Yangshan Province, Tangquan Iron Mine in Datian County, Qianfeng Iron Mine, Yindingge Iron Mine, Taihua Iron Mine, Zhongjia Iron Mine in Longyan City, Makeng Iron Mine Surface Mine, Jiaoshan Iron Mine in Zhangping City, Zhenmetro Mine in Anxi County, Hongdun Iron Mine in Shaowu City, etc.
The proven reserves in the Tier 4 resource distribution map are 680 million tonnes.
There is a difference between proven reserves and mineable reserves, and some iron ore is buried too deep to be mined.
Among them, Pantian and Luoyang mining areas have the largest reserves, and Luoyang mining area is located in Dashen Village, Luzhi Township, Zhangping City; Pantian Mining Area is located in Pantian Village, Gande Township, Anxi County.
Xia Jun decided to build a mining area here to mine 1 million tons of iron ore per year, and the steel plant is directly located in the local area, with an annual output of 200,000 tons of steel.
In terms of coal, Xia Jun plans to build two mining areas, a Zhangping coal mine, which is close to the steel plant, and the distance between iron ore and coal can reduce costs.
The Zhangping Coal Mine will be built with an annual output of 1 million tons of coal.
Another coal mine is the Shaowu Coal Mine, which is in the autonomous region, which is more convenient to mine and has large reserves.
The mine is designed to produce 1.5 million tonnes of coal per annum, which will supply the coal chemical plant and the market.
Most of the equipment in these mining areas is of the leading level, and some of them are ahead of the times. A total of 4 million points need to be invested, which is equivalent to 200 million yuan in the future.
Coking plants, ironworks, and steelmaking plants need to invest 6 million points, equivalent to 300 million yuan in later generations, and at the same time as opening a steel plant in Zhangping, a steel plant with an annual steelmaking capacity of 100,000 tons will be opened in Ningde, mainly smelting imported ore.
At the same time, Xia Jun also wants to expand the cement plant, with an annual output of 5 million tons, but the cement plant is relatively cheap, and it only costs Xia Jun 800,000 points.
Just by building these things, Xia Jun spent 15.8 million points.
However, these investments are basic investments, which are essential, coal, iron, steel, cement, which are very basic things in themselves.
Although the cost is huge, Xia Jun still has 7.2 million points in his hand.

The sixth update! Powerful enough, right?
