Wasted more than a year, almost two years, Yang Yuanzhao was more or less frustrated, but soon, he regrouped, he knew that there was a way to know earlier, and it was not too late to know now, there are still two years before the First World War, and the formation of a systematic warship production capacity is not shown, but the formation of an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of merchant ships, this should not be difficult, to the First World War, it is all money, and even now, he can make a layout in advance, no matter who produces, as long as before the First World War, the merchant ship is in his hands, That's the unimaginable benefit. ▲ ∴ top ▲ ∴ point ▲ ∴ small ▲ ∴ said,

From the number of the Investigation Bureau, Yang Yuanzhao carefully interpreted the changes in the Jiangnan Shipyard, this change started from Nie Yuntai's entry into the Jiangnan Shipyard, he is also considered to have some ability, after entering the Jiangnan Shipyard, he drastically changed the bad habits of the past, focusing on technology and production capacity, not only gathered a group of skilled workers from the original Jiangnan Shipyard, but also invited a lot from abroad, and now the Jiangnan Shipyard, all the docks have a shipbuilding plan, the reason for asking for loans, It is entirely for the purpose of expanding the scale of the dock, and at present, he is preparing to go on about 2 5,000-ton and 1 10,000-ton one.

That is to say, after a part of the adjustment, Jiangnan Shipyard has the ability to make 10,000-ton cargo ships, from the beginning of the 20th century, cargo ships have begun to exceed 10,000 tons, 10,000 tons of cargo ships, from all aspects. are the most suitable, and they are the mainstream of this world development.

Yang Yuanzhao sighed. It seems that he underestimated China's industrial achievements a little too much before, and overlooked this Jiangnan shipyard. Yang Yuanzhao is very clear. The 20th century is a maritime century, from 1900 to 2000, a hundred years, shipbuilding and technology have been greatly developed, from the beginning of the 20th century can barely produce 10,000-ton cargo ships, to the 21st century, various types of cargo ships, and even tens of thousands of tons of natural gas ships, refrigerated ships. With hundreds of thousands of tons of oil tankers, the sea provides unparalleled carrying capacity, and ocean-going cargo ships are not only more refined, but also have a continuously improved load capacity.

As a traverser, Yang Yuanzhao will certainly not let go of the navy and maritime shipping, but he only felt that China was relatively backward in this regard, and there was no fully controlled seaport in the northwest, so instead of investing in maritime shipping and shipbuilding, it was better to invest in other industries that were more suitable. When the time was ripe, after the outbreak of World War I, there was naturally a way to build China's shipbuilding industry.

Now, after knowing the current situation of the Jiangnan shipyard. Countless ideas popped up in Yang Yuanzhao's heart, and this was an opportunity. A real entry into the world shipping, and even the basis for the layout of the Navy in advance. Having a navy is not omnipotent, but today in the 21st century. If you don't have a navy, you really can't.

On the one hand, the construction of Basra was to support Germany, so that the Allies led by Germany could go further in World War I, and on the other hand, why not let the Northwest have a wedge in the Middle East, which seems to be easy now, but what about the future?

If there is no strong navy as support, this wedge will have no effect at all, and at the end of World War I, when the powers have recovered their strength, when the time comes, the possibility of Germany's defeat is very high, and if you take 10,000 steps back, Germany has won, and Germany, which has the status of the king of Europe, will definitely cast its eyes in this direction, the navy is weak, and even the country that has no navy at all will not be able to keep this port that has spent a lot of money, relying only on the army, no supplies, no increase in personnel, in addition to causing losses to the other side, I can't get a single qiē.

There are no fortresses that cannot be breached, even Gibraltar and Singapore, which the British have operated for many years, have a record of being breached, let alone the newly built port of Basra. Originally, Yang Yuanzhao was still preparing for a few years, especially when World War I broke out, to negotiate with Germany, to get Qingdao by means of both materials and money, and after inheriting the German dock in Qingdao, in the development of the navy, but a better opportunity was in front of him, and he even had the opportunity to intervene in the Jiangnan shipyard.

The Jiangnan Dock is a bit complicated, mixed with many families and the two major forces of the north and south, but Yang Yuanzhao values not the dock itself, but the skilled workers in it, these workers who are proficient in shipbuilding, it can be said that they are the greatest wealth.

If you can buy shares and occupy 7% of the shares, it is the best, even if you can't get it, with the help of loans and capital injections, you can also get a considerable right to speak, and when the time comes, get some skilled workers and engineers over, start anew, and build a new factory in a hidden location, maybe you can produce warships at the same time as the production of freighters, as for the other side of the cooperation, Germany has long been decided.

Germany is probably the only country with insufficient production capacity before World War I, if Germany's dockyard is sufficient, perhaps, the strategic form of the North Sea will change, and as long as there is a dock, it is natural to be able to get the support of Germany, and at that time, with the help of Germany, with the shortest time, to train China's military shipbuilding industry, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Gently knocking on the table and sorting out your own thoughts, this is not only the foundation for the northwest to go to the ocean, but also the foundation for the northwest to step into a broader field, and you must not miss it.

Yang Yuanzhao made up his mind here and wanted to invest in Jiangnan Shipyard, and Nie Yuntai, who returned to Shanghai by steamboat, came to Tianjin as if in a dream, and signed an order in only a few days, 12,000 tons of special steel, enough for a year's production of Jiangnan Shipyard, and I heard that a loan of 30 million may come down, and even Yang Yuanzhao wants to use 200 million to buy shares.

A series of good news made Nie Yuntai feel a little dizzy, he found for the first time that it was the right choice to leave Hengfeng and come to Jiangnan Shipyard, how much is Hengfeng Factory worth, even after several expansions, it is only about 1.5 million plates, but Jiangnan Shipyard is 40 million plates. If Yang Yuanzhao buys shares, he will be at a premium of 50% all of a sudden. Their Nie family accounts for a little more than 5% of them, that is, about 2 million. The premium is 50%, but it is a direct income of 1 million, as for the future, as long as the things guaranteed by Yang Yuanzhao arrive, this Jiangnan shipyard that has been reduced in equity will definitely become a cash monster, and the annual profit may be astronomical.

Nie Yuntai secretly decided that he must insist on the success of this agreement. With his understanding of the shareholders, it is a bastard to have money or not, whether it is Beiyang or the revolutionary party, it is not forced to buy and sell, and buying at a premium is a normal business behavior, besides, Jiangnan Shipyard is in Shanghai, which is where their Nie family has been operating for more than 20 years. Not afraid of problems at all.

On the steamboat, I thought about a qiē Nie Yuntai, and I was very eager to return to Shanghai, and the steamboat was very fast. In more than a day, he arrived in Shanghai from Tianjin and handed over the order from the northwest to his subordinates. He didn't need to do these little things, and he brought in most of the shareholders.

Many shareholders hold larger shares. They themselves are not here, but the agents are. When he was in Tianjin, he reported by telegram that he had come in person as much as possible, and although not all the people who held the meeting, but the number of shares was more than 2%, they had all arrived.

When Nie Yuntai informed everyone of the trip to Tianjin, and said that Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest was optimistic about this project and wanted to invest, there was an uproar, Yang Yuanzhao's northwest has become a pivotal force in China, and it is even able to resist the Russian army, but for businessmen, the most envious thing is his gold hand, every industry in the northwest has something to do with him, just find an industry, that is, a money-making industry, one after another, and now I heard that he is already rich and rivals the country, this is not, casually took out 200 million funds to inject.

However, generally speaking, Yang Yuanzhao only injected capital into the northwest industry, and rarely participated in other industries, which more or less disappointed businessmen in other places.

The heated discussion among the shareholders, of course, is not the question of whether Yang Yuanzhao intervenes, Yang Yuanzhao's involvement is simply unwanted, and now the key lies in its own valuation, people's greed, especially in such a huge industry as Jiangnan Shipyard, whether to use cash and physical combination, or all physical goods, the shareholders are fiercely competing.

Nie Yuntai has basically lost his control, even if he is the general manager, even if he has the background of the Nie family and the Zeng family, in front of the interests of the first class, he is nothing, and every minute must be investigated, under the big plate of 40 million, a little change is hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of interests.

Fortunately, there is no end, under the premise of letting Yang Yuanzhao intervene, there is still a bottom limit, and in the end, they discussed a unified result, Yang Yuanzhao can inject 200 million yuan into Jiangnan Shipyard, but there must be 20 million cash, according to their respective shareholding ratios, handed over to the shareholders, to put it bluntly, this 5% premium, Yang Yuanzhao needs to take it out to buy.

The conditions are not excessive, after sending a telegram in the name of Nie Yuntai to ask, Yang Yuanzhao immediately agreed, he even considered whether to increase the amount, now it seems that it is just on the basis of 200 million, pay 20 million in cash, and what he got is the control of a civil shipbuilding enterprise that may be the largest in China, how to calculate how cost-effective this account, he didn't even notify others, he agreed directly, and the telegram even followed the draft of the Northwest Bank, this equity plan, In less than a week, the conversion process was completed, and the speed was beyond anyone's expectations.

When the person in charge of the Shanghai branch of the Northwest Bank, who was in charge of the agency, signed a series of documents, Yang Yuanzhao's heart was in his stomach, and he thought that he had not yet informed the shareholders that since the beginning of the war against Russia, the Northwest has made a lot of adjustments, and this shipyard may be the biggest step among the many adjustments, and it is time for everyone to sit down and discuss it together.
