As soon as Zhang Shiheng's words came out, Qin Chuan immediately seized the opportunity and followed Zhang Shiheng's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Zhang, you see that my salt regiment is about to be set up, there are hundreds of guns in this battalion, how can there be any guns that are not damaged, and the younger brother can't all spend money to buy them, he always has to repair them, can you ask Brother Zhang to help him help the younger brother set up this repair facility?"
Zhang Shiheng called him a brother and a brother, and Qin Chuan naturally didn't be polite with him, not to mention that he had just been forced to give this Zhang Shiheng a great benefit, he couldn't be cheaper, and he had to get some back.
Qin Chuan wants to set up a repair institute, machinery and equipment is not a problem, the key is to understand the military technicians, such talents are scarce resources in the current Qing Dynasty, a few people, most of them are like Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau This kind of military enterprises are cultivated, and these people are also the backbone of these machine bureaus, the main force is not bad, he has just established a group training, it is not easy to find these people.
After talking about the repair station, I originally only thought about asking Zhang Shiheng to help find a few technicians, but I didn't want to see Zhang Shiheng clapping his hands happily and said: "This thing is easy to do, there is just a set of repair equipment idle in the Machinery Bureau, which was still moved from the Jinling Machinery Bureau at that time, and it will be rusted away in a few more days, and it is also heart-wrenching to watch." In this way, I will have someone move Ming Hung tomorrow. β
As soon as Zhang Shiheng's voice fell, Qin Chuan was suddenly surprised, and took out 20% of the shares of the canning factory, in exchange for 20,000 Yingyang plus a set of repair equipment, although Qin Chuan still felt a little painful, but it was worth it.
It's just that this Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau's set of repair equipment, although it is idle, but it is always public property, even if this Zhang Shiheng is the general office, he has to avoid people's eyes and ears when he does it for personal gain, but Sheng Xuanhuai around him is a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty, this Zhang Shiheng is soγγγγγγ
Qin Chuan, who was worried in his heart, peeked at Sheng Xuanhuai, but saw that Sheng Xuanhuai had already set his eyes elsewhere, looking like he was casually watching the scenery. Seeing Sheng Xuanhuai like this, Qin Chuan settled down. It's just that he was still a little unwilling, and asked Zhang Shiheng tentatively: "I want to build an iron-hulled pleasure boat, I don't know if the Manufacturing Bureau can build it?" β
Hearing that Qinchuan was going to build a ship, Zhang Shiheng nodded and said: "Yes, the current dock of the Manufacturing Bureau is idle, there are no ships from the Beiyang Navy to be repaired this year, don't say a cruise ship, we can build smaller warships, Minghong, you can bring the drawings, as for the price?" We'll talk about it then. β
The dock of Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has always been only used for military purposes, and Zhang Shiheng dared to promise to give it down, thinking that the proceeds would probably go into his own pocket.
Qin Chuan secretly said in his heart: "This Zhang Shiheng is so greedy for money, it is inevitable that he will be planted on this in the future." β
Qin Chuan was thinking about how to ask Zhang Shiheng to help find someone, and he didn't want Sheng Xuanhuai to suddenly interject.
Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, Minghong's salt group, although it is just a group practice, but this is a matter that Lord Zhou and Zhongtang personally discussed, and the salt group is directly subordinate to the Yamen, so it can be regarded as our Beiyang people, since everyone is their own people, if you want to help, you will help to the end, you only gave him the machine but did not give it to people, don't you let Minghong just watch those machines all day long?" β
Zhang Shiheng slapped his forehead happily and said with a smile: "Thank you Sheng Daren for reminding me, Ming Hong, you look at me as a person, and I forgot about it when I was happy." In this way, I will also help you solve the human affairs, so I will first lend you ten technicians from the machine bureau to help you train personnel. β
After saying that, Zhang Shiheng looked at Qin Chuan with a sly laugh a few more and said: "Minghong, the treatment of these people and equipment is very average, and I haven't seen much development in their careers, as for whether they can stay with you in the future, that's your business." β
Although Zhang Shiheng said that he was borrowing, this was obviously to push these people to his side, which made Qin Chuan unhappy, and couldn't help but be excited and hurriedly thanked him again and again.
Zhang Shiheng's words were too explicit, unlike the high-sounding Sheng Xuanhuai said, Sheng Xuanhuai's brows wrinkled slightly imperceptibly, and he smiled to stop Qin Chuan, who was a little fascinated.
"That's right, Minghong. The matter of your jousting with Hannagan spread in the concession early this morning, and in the past, the horse racing club De Trilin in the concession had to open a gambling plate, and the people of Tianjin Wei liked these, and every gambling plate was crowded with ants, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. I heard that Detrilyn has already opened a betting market for the competition, and the odds between Hannagan and you are 2:1, so you are not very optimistic about you, so you have to be careful. β
Qin Chuan didn't pay much attention to whether he was offered a gambling plate or not, and said with a smile: "What kind of gambling plate is not a gambling plate, and you don't want me to pay a penny." β
Sheng Xuanhuai smiled slightly: "Minghong, I still have something to do, so I'll go." β
Sheng Xuanhuai turned around and was about to take a step, when he suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Ming Hong, Lord Zhongtang said that although the salt group is small, it can bear the burden of seizing illegal salt and public security in Tianjin, and the responsibility is heavy, so it must be done as soon as possible. The salt group has just been established, and there are many affairs, and the adults in the middle hall sympathize with your difficulties, so you don't want to go to the audience to ask for peace from him. β
Last night, I talked to Li Mingfang about Wu Tiaoqing, Zhou Fu and others who wanted to donate officials to him, and Li Mingfang really told Qin Chuan about the joints. Just after the donation of officials, as a by-election official, you have to go to the yamen at all levels in the by-election place to meet and walk around, one is to mix up the face, and then to give some gifts to pull the relationship, as for the top boss, it will be even more expensive. Li Hongzhang, as the biggest official in Zhili, although he personally came forward to help him donate his official position, he refused to see himself, and he couldn't help but make Qin Chuan confused, and wanted to ask Sheng Xuanhuai again, but saw that Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Shiheng, who was in turmoil, had already walked more than a dozen steps away, and it was worth hurrying to follow.
Seeing off Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Shiheng, who was happy, Qin Chuan was satisfied and handed over the tray with official uniforms to Chu Yunfei, who had already run out of the small canteen. Originally, Qin Chuan, who had something to tell him, was angry and really wanted to catch up and kick Chu Yunfei.
When Qin Chuan came in with the salt group document in his hand, Du Baozhong, Li Yutian, Xu Tong and Chu Yunfei were looking at Qin Chuan's official uniform with great interest, and when they saw Qin Chuan coming in, Chu Yunfei shouted Qin Chuan happily.
"Big brother, come and try it to see if it fits, and then I'll accompany my big brother to go around the workshop, and the workers who keep it will be so scared that they will kneel down for you."
The angry Xu Tong glared at Chu Yunfei and muttered, "Your father is in the workshop." β
Xu Tong's words made Chu Yunfei suddenly embarrassedγγγγγγ
