Chapter 214: The Search for Carbon
"General An Zhonglang, do we really want to give up the big fat piece of cement?"
Wang Yusheng asked unwillingly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After eating and drinking, An He was stopped by Wang Yusheng and proposed to set up a cement factory, but An He refused.
"Hehe, Brother Yusheng, the overall prospect of cement is indeed very broad, but it is not suitable for us, the early investment in the factory is too large, we do not have so much money in our hands now, and cement is destined to be a small profit and quick turnover product, the cost recovery is a little slow, and so many people open a cement plant, the competition in the future must be very fierce, I don't want to put all my energy into this, so even if the prospect of cement is good, I will not participate."
An He said with a smile.
The sales of roasted tea in the first quarter did not bring him some income, but after paying off the previous arrears plus the daily expenses of Anfu, there was not much left, and the summer tea had just started to be sold, and the money had not yet been obtained. Not to mention the distillery, there are a lot of wines, and there are even more orders, but those newly brewed wines can only be sold after blending, and it is estimated that it will take a few days. Therefore, there is basically no capital that Anhe can use, let alone invest in cement plants.
Hearing An He's words, Wang Yusheng was also deflated, in fact, not only An He had no money in his hands, but even he didn't have any money in his hands, and the money he earned some time ago was invested in the restaurant, and the restaurant had just opened.
"Hehe, Brother Yusheng, don't be too discouraged, the cement factory Anhe can't do it, but you can do some other business, I dare to promise, it will definitely not be worse than the profit of selling cement."
An He suddenly laughed wickedly, his eyes full of triumph that the conspiracy had succeeded.
Wang Yusheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said very excitedly:
"Haha, I know that with the wisdom and martial arts of General An Zhonglang, there must be a back-up move!"
"Where, where, I just thought of it by chance."
An He laughed proudly, in fact, when he decided to use cement to attract investment, he already had a way to make money in his heart.
After laughing. An He then asked Wang Yusheng again:
"Brother Yusheng, do you know that there is a kind of black stone in this world, which is generally produced underground, and its texture is very brittle, but it can be burned. The flame is yellow and blue. ”
Anhe is actually talking about coal, the calcination of cement consumes fuel, and now charcoal is used, and the price of charcoal is not cheap, and nearly half of the cost of cement is charcoal consumption. Anhe has long wanted to use coal instead of charcoal. One is that the combustion value of coal is high, and the other is that coal has not yet been used on a large scale, and the price must be cheap. If you can find a coal mine and develop it, you are not afraid that those who open cement factories will not buy it.
You must know that digging coal is a huge profit, you don't see those Shanxi coal bosses in later generations, all of them are eager to spend money every day to play, in the previous life, An He only had a red eye, and now he can travel to the Tang Dynasty, of course he will not let go of such a profiteering industry.
"What Anzhongro is going to say is charcoal, right?"
Wang Yusheng was a little unsure, listening to An He's description. The first thing that came to his mind was coal.
"Yes, yes, it's coal."
An He said with great joy, he just asked casually, the original intention was just to let Wang Yusheng remember the characteristics of coal, and then inquire more about others, after all, coal was already used in the Han Dynasty, and many people must know, but I didn't expect Wang Yusheng to be one of them. 、
"Brother Yusheng, since you have heard of it, do you know where the coal is produced?"
Although Anhe had let Lin Yishan, ****** them to mine coal in Yongcheng County. But after all, Yongcheng County is too far away from here, and the traffic is inconvenient in the Tang Dynasty, so if it is transported to Chang'an, the freight is a large amount of money, and it is too cost-effective. So he wanted to inquire if there was any coal nearby.
Wang Yusheng thought for a while and replied:
"General An Zhonglang. Coal is not rare, there is a black stone mountain in the northwest of Chang'an, the mountain is full of charcoal you said, there are some poor people around Chang'an, winter is to use charcoal for heating, but this thing is difficult to ignite. It is easy to be poisoned by charcoal, so there are very few people who use it, most people still like to use firewood or charcoal, and I have not heard of anyone using charcoal to sell it for money. ”
"Hahaha~, that's great! Blackstone Mountain!
This is simply a golden mountain from heaven to Anhe! ”
Anhe has obtained the mining rights of Yongcheng County Coal Mine in Li Xiaojiu, after all, it is too far away from Yongcheng County, and if you want to transport coal to Chang'an, it will cost a lot of money just to transport the freight, and Anhe laughed happily after listening to Wang Yusheng's introduction. I didn't expect that there was a coal mine in the local area, and he was still worried that the coal seam was buried too deep, which would cause the mining cost to be too high, but listening to Wang Yusheng's description, it turned out to be an open-pit coal mine, as long as it was loaded into a car and transported to Chang'an, this is not what Jinshan is?
"General An Zhonglang, can this charcoal really be sold for money?"
Wang Yusheng still didn't believe it, he had also seen the charcoal, it was black and inconspicuous, and it was useless except that it was difficult to burn, but there were many trees around Chang'an, and the firewood alone could not be used up, who would have nothing to use those very inconvenient coal?
"Of course!"
An He was still immersed in excitement, and then instructed Wang Yusheng:
"Brother Yusheng, tomorrow I will let Li Hui come to you, you take him to the Black Stone Mountain, buy all the surrounding land, and you can inquire again, see where there are other places around Chang'an where charcoal is produced, and buy them together, if the money is not enough, you can embezzle the deposit of the winery's order first, and the emperor will send someone to say hello."
"Yes, the villain obeys!"
Although Wang Yusheng couldn't understand why An He valued the coal so much, since An He had already made up his mind, he couldn't object anymore, so he could only agree.
An He asked some more about the situation of the Chamber of Commerce, Wang Yusheng answered one by one, and Anhe was very satisfied in all aspects, especially when they received millions of orders alone, and now the Chamber of Commerce has to receive many businessmen from all over the world every day, and the transaction volume is also continuing to rise, but Wang Yusheng is a little worried that the output of the distillery cannot cope with so many orders.
An He was overjoyed when he heard this, and told Wang Yusheng to let go of his hands and feet boldly to pick it up, the winery will ship in the next two days, and then you can pay for those more urgent orders first, and the others can be slowed down, anyway, there are several people such as him and Li Daozong, Cheng Zhijie and other people are pressing, and they are not afraid of others to make trouble.
After An He finished telling the matter, he left Dengxian Tower. After sending Anhe away, Wang Yusheng ordered the restaurant to close, checked again that there were no hidden dangers, and then got up and went home. It's already midnight, the curfew has already begun, and the door has been closed, but Wang Yusheng has the sign of the Supervision Institute sent by Anhe, so it is unimpeded. (To be continued.) )
