Chapter 89 Economic Coordination Council (I)
On February 15th, the system was upgraded to the kingdom level, and the system unlocked research projects, with only 2 research options, 3200 points for the academician level and 1600 points for the professor level. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early morning of March 1, Zhang Wei received system points, with 1.25 million points for land, 3.85 million points for population, 340,000 points for colonization, and 110,000 points for killing enemies.
On March 15, the 10 million pounds paid by the Netherlands has arrived, which can temporarily meet the needs of domestic construction, machinery and equipment are exchanged for points, no funds are needed, the 10 million pounds are mainly enough to buy raw materials and pay workers' wages, there are hundreds of thousands of free labor, and a large part of the labor chooses to pay wages with food, so the actual use of funds is not much.
In order to cover up the existence of the system, Zhang Wei arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and Finance, the Ministry of Industry, the Red Triangle Investment Company, various royal companies, and private capitalists to form a huge procurement delegation to Germany to procure, and to spend 250 million yuan until the mark is exhausted, and if the funds are not enough, the funds in the commercial loan can also be embezzled.
Zhang Wei discussed with everyone for a long time before coming up with the list of this purchase.
Coal mining equipment, at least 10 sets to procure; At least 5 sets of medium-sized ammonia synthesis equipment; At least 10 sets of various industrial machine tools; All kinds of mechanical processing equipment, turning, milling, grinding, boring, drilling, punching, folding shear, etc., at least 30-100 sets of each variety; pharmaceutical equipment, at least 5 medium-sized pharmaceutical factories can be built; There should be at least 2 steel plants with an annual output of 500,000 tons; cement plant, with a production capacity of 300,000 tons, purchase more than 5 sets; For hydraulic presses of various specifications, more than 5 units of more than 3,000 tons should be bought; At least one set of petroleum refining equipment should be purchased; Alloy steel technology can buy a few and buy a few, as long as the technology is not too backward; optical technology and processing equipment; processing technology and processing equipment for alloy cutting tools and cutting tools; tri-acid equipment; 60 heavy rail and heavy rail processing equipment; Docks of various specifications and various welding equipment; Other civilian equipment should also be purchased in large quantities, textile equipment can be established at least 10 medium-sized factories, printing and dyeing equipment at least 5 sets; Hardware processing equipment, sewing machines, vacuum machines, fans, compressors, food machinery and other processing equipment and technology; Equipment that is not on the list can be purchased as long as you like it.
After sending off the German purchasing delegation, Zhang Wei's energy was again focused on economic construction.
This time, he is not going to go according to his own ideas, so he should convene everyone to discuss together, see what loopholes and deficiencies there are in these tasks that he arranged some time ago, improve the existing projects, and then continue to form new companies or develop new projects.
The meeting was attended by people from the military, the government, the Red Triangle Company, the Royal Company and various design institutes.
The first to speak was Zheng Daoyou, he said: "Your Majesty, now the whole country has become a big construction site, some are building factories, some are building roads, some are building schools, some are building residential houses, some are mining, and some are building ports, which has led to too much floating population, and the living conditions in each place are not good, and we can only live in tents. In addition, at the end of last month, did the use of warships to escort gold to Pontianak expose us, since this is the case, it is better to relocate the Bank of Asia to Shangjing, so that there is no need for His Majesty to run back and forth, and there is no need to transport gold and silver back and forth. ”
"It's not a big step, I'm still too slow, I can't wait to build it in one day. We are more than 100 years older than Britain, France, the United States and Germany, and if we don't work hard to develop, when will we be able to catch up with other countries? You must know that we are developing, other countries are also developing, if we do not catch up, the gap will be even greater in the future, no one will question the speed of development in the future, and you must also go all out to build your own division of labor projects. As for the Bank of Asia, it has just established its business reputation, and it is not a good move now, so I will discuss it with James. ”
The Minister of Industry said: "Your Majesty, I am really too busy, it is better to add some people to me, or I will separate some departments and be too busy, I am really afraid of delaying things." In addition, I hope that Your Majesty will make a decision early and make a positioning for each city, for example, Balikpapan and Samarinda, we will build according to the deep-water port and energy city, Surabaya will be built according to the steel city and building materials city, Semarang will be built according to the commercial city and shipyard, Shangjing can be built into a cultural city, a political city and a financial city, and other cities are still relatively vague. ”
"I know you're busy, so I'll add a few more people to you, and write me your request after the meeting. As for the city you are talking about, this should be developed according to the local strengths, such as Medan, in the future, the Sumatra Provincial Government and the Provincial Military District Staff Headquarters will be placed in Medan, Medan will be built into a comprehensive city in the west, and the outer port of Belao Bay will be built into the largest foreign port on Sumatra, and a military port will also be built; After Palembang, it will be a huge energy base, and there will be a lot of coal cargo ships in and out, and Bandung can be built into a tourist city and a cultural and educational city; Pontianak can focus on rubber planting and processing, and the service industry is also very promising; Ambon is the political, military, and educational center of the east, while Manado relies on cement and copper. In the future, it is necessary to gradually increase the investment in various places, and the professional characteristics still need time to precipitate. ”
Li Tie, general manager of the railway company, said: "Your Majesty, we have inspected this one month, and found that our kingdom is not suitable for the construction of railways at present, let's just say that the railway from Shangjing to Semarang to Surabaya, this is the first railway we planned, if this railway is built well, it will be able to link the three major cities of the kingdom together, but if the railway is built, it will inevitably cut off the north-south water transportation along the line, which only facilitates the east-west traffic, and the inland river traffic in the north-south direction is interrupted, and the loss will be very large, not cost-effective." ”
"Can't we just make the railway bridge higher? It can not only cross the train, but also under the bridge without affecting navigation. ”
"Your Majesty, at present, our conditions are not yet available, for example, to increase the height of the bridge, it is necessary to increase the span of the bridge, increase the length of the approach bridge at both ends of the bridge, it is inevitable to increase the use of steel and cement, and the amount of work will also increase by geometric multiples, which is not economically cost-effective."
"Then let this matter go first, you first train personnel, such as bridge design, road exploration, construction supervision, budgeting, traction locomotive and carriage design, manufacturing, materials, security checks, drivers and other professional and technical personnel. Or build some short-distance railways and convert railways within the factory area, etc., which can be regarded as training the team first. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Lu Sifu said: "Your Majesty, now that a number of royal companies have been established, isn't it good to let me take charge of the grain business now, I feel that it should be divided like a shipping company, and a separate royal grain company should be set up and let someone run it, which is definitely better than my part-time job, or I will do the grain trade full-time and hand over the business and finance bureau." “
"What would you do if you were put in charge of the grain trade?"
"Your Majesty, in that case, I will dump our grain to the world at a low price, squeeze the grain production of most countries in the world to no profit at all, and even lose money, let them stop producing grain, buy all grain from us, and wait for a few years, under the pretext of natural disasters and other excuses, greatly increase the price of grain, then our profits will be unimaginably high, but we must have strong armed protection."
"Your point of view is good, but you should continue to serve as your director, I will form a grain company, and I can hand over to you when the time comes."
The manager of the chemical plant then asked: "Your Majesty, other companies have already chosen a location and built a plant, but our chemical plant has not yet set a location, where do you want to build?" ”
"Do you have any good options?"
"Our advice is to use electricity and coal in Balikpapan or in Samarinda, and you already have a plant for ammonia there, so it's easy to use ammonia."
"I was worried about pollution, since you are willing to put it there, let's build a factory there, but you control the pollution well, we are an island country, the ocean is the source of our wealth, polluting the ocean, it is equivalent to destroying our home, you must be cautious."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will control it."
"Your Majesty, now the two cement factories in Sumatra Province have started, but the calorific value of coal around Palembang is too low and the ash content is too high to be used."
"The coal in Sumatra province is mainly lignite, it is difficult to find suitable coal, even if it is found, it is difficult to transport, I see you import it from India or transport it from Balikpapan, you can solve this problem yourself."
"Your Majesty, our steel mill is also experiencing coal problems, and now the coking coal produced in Balikpaban is suitable for sulfur and ash, the volatilization is too high, the bonding is not high, and the Y value is a bit low, and we also need to import main coking coal, lean coal and fertile coal."
"You don't have to import it, the coking coal of Balikpaban will definitely meet your requirements, you look for it, there must be main coking coal there, I dare not guarantee that there is fertile coal, but there is main coking coal on it, by the way, I remember that there is a lot of gas fertilizer coal over there, if there is no fat coal, use gas fertilizer coal instead, the big deal is that the lumping rate is lower, and the remaining coke particles are used by the foundry, and they can't be wasted."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Zhang Wei continued: "My personal opinion is that the power plant should use lignite from Palembang as much as possible, which is cheap and suitable for transportation, and can be loaded from Palembang to the nearest port of the coastal power plant. Balikpapan mainly supplies high-calorific value, low-sulfur, low-ash and high-volatile coal required by cement plants and coking coal needed by steel plants, and relatively poor coal is used for power generation; In addition, I would suggest that it would be better for the steel company to build the coking plant directly in Balikpapan, and it would be much easier to transport a single coke than several types of coking coal. In addition, I plan to build an oil refinery in Balikpapan or Samarinda in the future, and I want to build it into a chemical city or chemical zone, which can effectively reduce pollution in other places and give full play to the resource advantages. Railway companies can consider building a dedicated coal line from the coal terminal to the power plant, as well as a coal conversion line from the coal mine to the Palembang terminal. What other questions do you have? Let's put it all forward together and solve it together. “
