Chapter 60: The Port (Part 8)

The eighth shift, do you give it any power?

In the new week, tickets and collections are urgently needed for the list!

Brothers, give me some strength, too!

Thanks!

――――

Li Shijing has gradually entered the state recently, and most of the factories opened by Xia Jun are taken care of by her, which saves Xia Jun a lot of effort.

Moreover, Li Shijing studied business administration, and was much more proficient in the operation and management of the factory than Xia Jun. Xia Jun used to open this factory, and then catch the factory director by lot, and then leave the factory director to manage. Then the next indicator goes down, you have to complete this indicator, and I don't care about the rest.

Now Li Shijing helps him take care of these factories, and the management of each factory has been optimized a lot.

As far as a factory is concerned, talent is more important than equipment, and Xia Jun runs a factory at this time, which is the advantage of using advanced equipment, but it is not excellent in management.

Marrying this lady can be said to be Xia Jun's biggest help, no matter how good other talents are, they are not as good as their own wife, after all, their own wife will not mess around, he can be absolutely assured.

At this time, the autumn harvest was approaching, and Xia Jun didn't have much to focus on the construction of the factory.

On September 6, Xia Jun transferred the nine battalions and districts that had been organized, and at the same time, Xia Jun held an administrative meeting and asked the administrative personnel in various localities to do a good job in the autumn harvest work.

After a month of training, the nine battalions formed by Xia Jun were also so-so, but it was still far from being said to be very combative, and Xia Jun transferred them out, and they could also be trained locally.

There are quite a lot of townships and towns that have been newly included in the administrative scope, so this autumn harvest will be carried out to resist taxes with armed force, so these nine battalions must be dispatched. At the same time, Xia Jun was also preparing to occupy the whole of Fujian, and once the Xinhai Revolution started, the nine battalions immediately occupied all the county towns in the region.

At this time, although Xia Jun's development seems to be very fast, in fact, Xia Jun's strength has not broken through the development of the surname, and in terms of industry, the basic industry has not been completely built at all.

At the same time, Xia Jun relied on exchanging production lines to set up factories, and he did not have any ability to manufacture production lines.

The arsenal has not landed at all, and some of the projects Xia Jun has invested in before are basic industries, and some are used to make money.

Nothing has actually changed.

The biggest change is the infrastructure, the roads in northwest Fujian will basically be able to be unblocked by the end of this year, and he has built a steel plant, but he can't build a second, unless it is to continue to exchange.

Now Xia Jun is in a dilemma for the development of the next period of time, it is obviously not possible to build an arsenal, that thing is too expensive, it is not cost-effective, and it must rely on the purchase of the arsenals of the great powers.

The purchase of precision machine tools is even more expensive, and the price of some machine tools is even tens of billions, even with these machine tools, Xia Jun also lacks the talents to make these machine tools.

The most important thing is that Xia Jun currently does not have the ability to independently develop.

These are the most fundamental things, but Xia Jun has no ability to solve them at this time, he can only solve low-level things now, build roads, and set up a few factories.

This is the main reason why Xia Jun feels that he is in a dilemma.

Then Xia Jun simply didn't want to, since there was no way to run an arsenal or anything for the time being, then continue to increase investment in infrastructure, continue to improve people's livelihood, expand the territory to a certain extent, people's livelihood and education to a certain extent, and those problems will naturally be solved.

Xia Jun still has 7.2 million points in his hand, enough to repair many roads, at this time Xia Jun already has six engineering teams in his hands, these six engineering teams have projects to repair all the time, and they can't be repaired at all, and Fujian's infrastructure is basically poor and white.

However, for Xia Jun, the most urgent problem at present is not the problem of the road, but the problem of the port.

On September 8, Xia Jun personally rushed to Ningde to investigate, and he wanted to build a smuggling port in Ningde, so as to avoid customs.

Ningde Port is an excellent deep-water port, Xia Jun visited here and originally planned to build a container terminal, but considering that other countries do not use containers, this thing seems to be useless.

The benefit of containers is to reduce transportation costs, but other ports must have facilities for container loading and unloading, otherwise it will become more inconvenient.

Xia Jun feels that it is necessary to promote containers in the world, but think about it, China is currently an importer, not an exporter, and the promotion of containers is not conducive to the Chinese market.

Once containers are introduced, the price of foreign goods will fall, which will further impact the Chinese market. It is necessary to promote containers after China has squeezed out foreign goods, so that the price of Chinese goods can be lowered when exported.

Since there are no prerequisites for the construction of a container terminal, Xia Jun can only build a bulk terminal.

The bulk terminal does not cost anything, and 100,000 points can repair a very luxurious terminal, so Xia Jun built two bulk terminals in Ningde Port.

Smuggling ships naturally have to buy their own, buy cargo ships in the system, divided into several levels of cargo ships, the current era of cargo ships pricing is 10,000 points for cargo ships with a displacement of 10,000 tons and below, 300,000 points for the purchase of a cargo ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons.

The price of a cargo ship with a displacement of 2~50,000 tons is 40 points per ton, and 50 points a ton for 5~70,000 tons.

The exchange of more advanced cargo ships, the tonnage price doubled up.

The more advanced the more expensive, and the bigger the more expensive.

Big also has big benefits, because the bigger the ship, the smaller the proportion of power required to move forward, which Xia Jun vaguely remembers, as if every time the ship expands several times, the power required to expand is less than the multiple of the ship's expansion.

Therefore, in order to transport more things, people build larger and larger ships, and the larger the proportion of fuel storage space will be reduced, so it will be more cost-effective.
