Chapter 46 Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant

Tan Yixian passed this level, but Zhang Feng didn't know that Zhao Shuiquan hated him, and he still gritted his teeth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhao Shuiquan soon heard about the Xu family, the Xu family is one of the shareholders of the textile factory run by Zhao Shuiquan, and according to the agreement between the two parties, the Xu family will invest 30,000 taels of silver.

Of course, the 30,000 taels of silver are just an agreement, Xu Shunben only took 10,000 taels out before, and the later 20,000 taels said that after the Xu family moved to Hangzhou, that is to say, the 30,000 taels that were said to be good, Zhao Shuiquan only got 10,000 taels, and the subsequent 20,000 taels must be gone.

If it was just this one thing, Zhao Shuiquan might not hate Zhang Feng so much, after all, the Xu family is finished, and Zhao Shuiquan has to get 10,000 taels of silver for nothing.

But when Zhao Shuiquan learned that the Xu family was finished, all the property of the Xu family was taken by Zhang Feng. All the fixed assets of the Xu family, including the fields and shops, were all sold for silver, which amounted to tens of thousands of taels, and these tens of thousands of taels of silver naturally fell into Zhang Feng's pocket.

Zhao Shuiquan is not a good bird, in fact, he has been planning the Xu family's property for a long time, let the Xu family take a stake in their own textile factory, and let the Xu family move to Hangzhou, this is only the first step in Zhao Shuiquan's plan, and there are many plans in the follow-up, after these plans are implemented, the Xu family's family property will be swallowed up by Zhao Shuiquan, and now these silver have entered Zhang Feng's pocket, Zhao Shuiquan naturally hates Zhang Feng.

Zhao Shuiquan was upset, and Zhang Feng gritted his teeth with hatred, and one of Zhao Shuiquan's subordinates came over and reported another bad news.

The horse boy said: "Childe, our shuttle production has not been successful, and if this continues, our textile factory will not be able to start." ā€

Zhao Shuiquan asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ā€

The horse boy said with a sad face: "Son, the set of shuttles that the Xu family got is incomplete at all, it seems that there are a few parts missing, and we can't make it." ā€

That set of shuttles is indeed incomplete, there are several parts missing, and it is strange that it can be trial-produced. After this set of shuttles was lost, Zhang Feng quickly did an investigation, Zhang Feng had long known that this set of shuttles was missing parts, and the other party would definitely not be able to copy it, otherwise, where would Zhang Feng be so calm.

Even if he knew that the other party had built a large textile factory in Suzhou, which was at least twice as large as his Oriental Textile, Zhang Feng was not in a hurry, no matter how big your factory was, you didn't have a shuttle, and if you used that kind of old-fashioned loom, it would not be competitive for Zhang Feng at all.

In addition, even if you have a shuttle, you don't have a Jenny spinning machine, how to compete with Zhang Feng, the shuttle and Jenny spinning machine are indispensable, even if there is one, you can't compete with Zhang Feng.

Knowing this, Zhang Feng was very calm, completely in the mood to watch a good show.

Sadly, Zhao Shuiquan didn't know that in addition to the shuttle, there was also a Jenny spinning machine, even if the shuttle had only heard of it, until the Xu family got a set of shuttles over, Zhao Shuiquan didn't know that the shuttle was like this.

Zhao Shuiquan thought that with this set of shuttles, he would immediately be rich, and completely regarded his textile factory as a golden rooster that laid golden eggs, and placed great hopes on it, but he didn't think that Zhao Shuiquan was tragic.

With so much money invested and such a large textile factory established, at the critical moment, the shuttle could not be imitated.

Zhao Shuiquan's face changed, and he said sharply: "How can this be, what are you doing?" ā€

Ma Tsai muttered in his heart, how can we be blamed for this, this shuttle is missing a few parts at all, how can we imitate it. However, although he muttered so much in his heart, this horse boy definitely didn't dare to show it, just lowered his head and kept silent.

Zhao Shuiquan said: "Send someone to the Oriental Textile Factory to steal, and then steal a set of shuttles." ā€

The horse boy said: "Childe, this is not good, we have also thought so, but the Oriental Textile Factory has a security team on duty, and the management is also very strict, so there is no way to steal it out." ā€

Zhao Shuiquan's face was ugly, he walked around, thought for a long time and said: "The shuttle can't be imitated, this is only temporary, I will use the loom without the shuttle first, and when the shuttle is imitated later, we will install the shuttle on the loom." ā€

The use of looms without shuttles is very inefficient, and there is almost no difference from ordinary weaving mills, except that Zhao Shuiquan's textile factory is larger, and it is the same as ordinary weaving mills in terms of efficiency, and Zhang Feng's Oriental Textile Factory cannot be compared at all.

Unless Zhao Shuiquan does not open this textile factory, but the construction of this textile is close to completion, and so much silver has been invested, how can Zhao Shuiquan not start work, so he uses a general loom.

Because of the use of general looms, there is no competitive advantage in production costs, Zhao Shuiquan lost a lot, of course, this is a matter of the future, the current Zhao Shuiquan did not expect this at all, Zhao Shuiquan also thought that the use of general looms is just a little less.

……… (Dividing Line)......

In the past few days, Zhang Feng has been in a good mood, not only took revenge and got tens of thousands of taels of silver for nothing, but Sun Houlin was arrested and put in prison, and what made Zhang Feng even happier was that through the high hall pillar, Zhang Feng got 2,000 catties of fine iron.

Last time it was 5,000 catties, this time it was 2,000 catties, a total of 7,000 catties of refined iron, which seems to be a lot, but Zhang Feng feels that it is far from enough.

Seven thousand catties of fine iron, only enough to build a thousand muskets, in addition to muskets, Zhang Feng also has to do a lot of things, such as simple lathes, drilling machines, future steam engines, etc., these all need steel.

In addition, this so-called refined iron, in terms of quality, Zhang Fengzhen is not eye-catching, it is estimated that crude steel with a carbon content of less than 2 percent, is just a little better than pig iron. It's just that there is no way, so I can only reluctantly match it for the time being.

There was no iron ore in Songjiang Prefecture, and Zhang Feng wanted a lot of steel, so the only way was to set up his own iron and steel factory and transport iron ore from outside.

In this era, there are no trains, no cars, only horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, which is not only inefficient, but also too costly.

If you need a boat for water transportation, Zhang Feng is very eager to build a shipyard, and after bringing down the Xu family, he made a small fortune, and Zhang Feng is ready to spend these tens of thousands of taels of silver as soon as possible.

Golconda.

Zhang Feng and Yang Shenghai, with a few guards, everyone rode here, in later generations, Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant can be described as famous, Zhang Feng is ready to build his first steel plant in Baoshan.

Of course, the factory that Zhang Feng wants to build naturally cannot be compared with the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant in later generations, according to Zhang Feng's plan, this is only a small steel plant, and it is estimated that it will produce tens of thousands of tons of steel per year.

However, even if it is such a small steel plant, how to really build it, it is incredible, it must be the largest and most advanced steel plant in the country at present, and the various types of steel produced in the future will definitely be much better than any refined iron.

Zhang Feng has this confidence and this technology, and Zhang Feng is ready to be responsible for all technical things in the construction of this steel plant, including factory site selection, plant planning and construction, blast furnace design, etc.

After staying in Baoshan for three days, Zhang Feng also explained a lot of things to Yang Shenghai, the construction of the steel plant, technically Zhang Feng was in charge, Yang Shenghai was loyal, and it was very easy to use, and all other affairs were naturally handed over to Yang Shenghai.

Zhang Feng's orders, Yang Shenghai remembered them one by one, thinking that a large steel plant would be built here, Yang Shenghai's heart was slightly excited.

The Dongfang Textile Factory was temporarily handed over to Deng Wanbao for management, the soap factory was in charge of Xu Liangyi, and Yang Shenghai's main energy would be on the construction of the steel plant.

In Yang Shenghai's mind, a grand blueprint emerged, and Yang Shenghai said: "Boss, if this steel plant is built, it is unimaginable, tens of thousands of tons per year, how much money will be made." ā€

Salt and iron are all things to make money, and the first thing Yang Shenghai thinks about is to make money, but Zhang Feng is not just to make money.

Zhang Feng nodded and said: "It's certain to make money, Lao Yang, do you have the confidence to refine the first molten iron within half a year." ā€

Yang Shenghai said: "Boss, I have this confidence, it's just that we don't have iron ore, and the coal has to be transported from afar, which ......"

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Yang Shenghai means this.

The capital construction of the iron and steel plant, after a lot of silver was smashed, under the guarantee of sufficient labor, the capital construction was completed within half a year, Yang Shenghai has this confidence, but Yang Shenghai knows that there is no iron mine nearby.

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Old Yang, you don't have to worry about the iron ore matter, there will definitely be enough iron ore by then." ā€

There is enough iron ore, Yang Shenghai is naturally relieved, Yang Shenghai has confidence in Zhang Feng, and it is unprecedented confidence, since Zhang Feng said that there will be iron ore, there will naturally be iron ore.

In Baoshan, Zhang Feng completed the planning of the steel plant on the spot, where to build a wharf, where to build a raw material yard, where is the workshop, where is the blast furnace, everything is clear, and even, Zhang Feng also drew a factory planning map to Yang Shenghai.

Yang Shenghai was not ambiguous, and immediately devoted himself to the construction of Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant.
