Chapter 138: Foundation Plan

The choice of the economic system directly affected the business model of the enterprise, and then affected Li Hui's choice of the derived chemical arms.

Regardless of special circumstances such as sailors can work in ship repair yards and armored troops can repair vehicles, the only two types of troops that can be qualified as factory managers and technical backbones are technicians and special agents.

The advantage of the former is professional, technicians, they must have excellent technology, and their leadership is mainly reflected in production management, so with them to manage the enterprise, product quality can be absolutely guaranteed, cost control will also be done well, but if they want to feel the pulse of the market, it is a little difficult.

The advantage of the latter is comprehensive, can manage, also understand technology, and even understand sales, but the technical ability is much worse than the technician, with them to manage the enterprise, the product will be more in line with the needs of the market, but the quality is not so trustworthy.

If it is a market-oriented enterprise for the purpose of profit, then the agent is obviously a more suitable choice for high-level positions such as factory director; But since Li Hui has chosen the planned economic system, then the advantage of technicians is overwhelming, not to mention that the Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant is to be built as a model for China's iron and steel industry in the future, and the tradition of focusing on efficiency and excellence is obviously easier to promote and replicate than keeping up with the market and pioneering thinking, and it is also more valuable at the national level.

Besides, the technician is a professional production manager, and the agent is only a half-tone business leader, and the price is more expensive than the former. In fact, Li Hui's choice of the industrialization route based on the planned economic system also has a lot to do with this.

The investment in Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant is huge, but she is actually only a small part of Li Hui's "foundation plan", only in Tangshan, not counting the Kaiping Coal Mine Expansion Project, the Qianxi Jinchangyu Gold Mine, one of the three major gold mines in China in the late Qing Dynasty, which has also begun to expand, and the Sijiaying Iron Mine, which is about to start construction, as well as Tangshan Machinery Factory, Tangshan No. 1 Chemical Plant (Coal Chemical Industry), Tangshan Fertilizer Plant, Tangshan Thermal Power Plant, Tangshan Cement Plant, Tangshan Refined Salt Factory, Tangshan No. 2 Chemical Plant (Salt Chemical Industry), Tangshan Brick and Tile Factory. In addition, there are Tangshan Port and several short-distance railways connecting Tangshan Port and Jiuda Factory, the total investment is equivalent to more than 80 million taels of silver, of which the silver spent on purchasing equipment and materials from the system is close to 30 million taels, and the total number of biochemical technicians recruited for this purpose is more than 5,000 people, and the recruitment fee and the monthly salary that needs to be paid continuously will naturally not be less.

As a result, Li Hui concentrated almost all of China's first heavy industries in Tangshan, which rose rapidly to become Asia's largest industrial center a few years later, and before World War I, its importance to China could even be compared to Shanghai's, but its neighboring Tianjin was somewhat paled in comparison.

As for Beijing, which is not close to the sea and has since failed to become the capital, it has long been supported by tourism and mining, let alone Tangshan's pivotal position in China's economy.

Fortunately, because of the intervention of Li Hui, a time-traveler, the research on earthquake prediction in this time and space is much earlier and more advanced than in history, otherwise with the scale of Tangshan, which is much larger than the same period in history, I don't know how many people will be killed in the catastrophe more than half a century later

Unlike the Soviet aid 156 project in history, the light industry in the "foundation plan" also has a large proportion, because there are not many light industry enterprises in China now, and there is also a need for a model for promotion and replication, although the coverage of the system's science and technology tree is limited, but at least the production of daily necessities can be solved, and the technical level is far from being comparable to today's domestic light industry enterprises.

Although it is likely that Li Hui will tear his face and fight with the Western powers in the near future, because the current level of science and technology and industry in the world is far from being compared with that during World War II, it is difficult for even the world hegemon Britain to invest too much power in the Far East, so the external threats facing China in the future are not a heavyweight at all after the liberation in history, at least there will be no risk of national destruction in any case, so it can take more care of people's livelihood.

This also prompted Li Hui to pay more attention to light industry, which is slightly more than that of heavy industry, including the military industry, in terms of investment alone.

It's just that the distribution of light industry is not as concentrated as heavy industry (only the two cities of Tangshan and Qingdao are built in the foundation plan), because Jiaodong is the starting site, it will be taken care of a little, and Laizhou has built a deep-water port, which accounts for the largest proportion, but some other coastal cities have also been more or less divided.

However, the largest investment in the "foundation plan" is the large-scale infrastructure of telephones, roads, railways and seaports (including naval bases and shipyards), especially railways and naval bases.

Fortunately, the goal of Li Hui's "foundation plan" is only to use the convenience of the system to create a most basic industrial system that can be self-contained and expanded as quickly as possible (that is, to build new factories in the future, it will all rely on the support of these old factories, and no longer rely on the system). The infrastructure is just to cooperate with the construction of those factories in the plan, and by the way, make a few models, otherwise even if the rebel army captures more after taking Beijing and Tianjin, it may not be able to bear it

Military enterprises are also a very key part of the "foundation plan", although the system products are of high quality and low price, but considering the irreversibility of precious metal consumption, Li Hui has already had a plan to develop the military industry as early as when he has not yet set up his own door. After opening up a base in Jiaodong, Li Hui immediately mobilized a large number of manpower, financial and material resources to build his first arsenal in the Daze Mountains near Pingdu.

However, to Li Hui's somewhat surprise, because the Dazeshan Arsenal could not be built in a short period of time, and he changed the revolutionary line halfway, the first military enterprise that Li Hui really took over turned out to be the starting point of his career -- the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. Because the progress of the rebel army was too fast, Li Hui had many acquaintances here to persuade him to surrender, and the Tianjin Bureau was not damaged, and the employees did not flee, and production could be resumed immediately, which is really good news.
