Chapter 119: The Union of Capitalists
The next day, the general process of this battle had already spread, although the major newspapers only made a report on this battle, but some well-informed people in Wang Bin.
Looking at the information about this naval battle in his hand, Wang Bin couldn't help but think, due to the limited intelligence Wang Bin only knew that this time both Japan and Russia were hit hard, but no one knew how big this blow was.
But the main fleet of the other side, which both sides claimed to have sunk to the outside world, did not say a word about their own losses, and God knows how much the two sides lost.
However, in the past few days, the two sides have been engaged in such a war of words, but the statement that the main forces of the two sides have been lost has been speculated by various countries, and it has to be said that this guess is correct, and this time the main fleets of Japan and Russia have been completely lost.
There is no doubt that the situation in this naval battle has had a great impact on the situation in the Far East.
And now it is up to us to see the outcome on land, even if the navy is traumatized, but as long as it wins a superior victory on land, the war can come to an end.
While speculation continued, Japan's naval ministry was gloomy, and this naval battle had put down the navy that had worked so hard to build up since the Meiji Restoration, although Togo Heihachiro had recovered some of its losses, and the Battle of Tsushima could barely be called a victory for its side.
Although this time the vitality of the navy was greatly damaged, and the main fleet suffered great damage and lost more than half of it, and it was impossible to recover in three or four years, but fortunately, there were still two battleships and three armored cruisers, two cruisers, twelve destroyers and a number of small ships left on their side.
However, fortunately, the "Satsuma" class large battleships are now being built in the country, but the remaining fleet before the completion can only barely maintain the safety of the coast, and can no longer carry out another campaign, after all, for the Japanese, this remaining navy can no longer withstand any toss.
However, in Wang Bin's view, the tone of this war has now fully reached what he needs, the navies of both sides have been greatly damaged, and the army is not much better, anyway, after the end of the war, the ability of both Japan and Russia to control the Far East will drop by a level.
After the ending has been decided, Wang Bin's attention to Japan and Russia is much smaller, but even if the attention is much smaller, Wang Bin is still very helpless, there is a big problem in front of him, after the Japanese Navy has been hit hard, there have been quite a big problem with the sea supply line, which almost caused the logistics of the front line to be unable to keep up, once the logistics can not keep up, it will be a huge blow to the Liaoyang battlefield that is in a stalemate, once the Japanese army has to pay a lot of money to buy a large amount of arms from Wang Bin, And it's a purchase at any cost.
In this case, the current output of the arsenal is somewhat dwarfed, and it will have to be expanded.
With this expansion of production, Wang Bin has a headache and has no money to expand wool! Before the relief funds from these provinces arrived, I encountered such a big difficulty, which was really heartbreaking.
However, just when Wang Bin was worried about the relief money, the relief money totaling 3.29 million yuan happened to be escorted to Jinzhou to solve Wang Bin's urgent need.
So Wang Bin began to expand the production capacity of the arsenal, but the cost of the expansion was distressed, the expansion is not to increase the production line can be solved, this to expand the output but to add another steel mill, this expansion, the money for relief is not enough, just when Wang Bin was troubled, Fu Bo's words made Wang Bin see another way.
Fu Bo suggested that some chambers of commerce should join this expansion, as well as a series of reforms in Jinzhou or join Wang Bin's factories at the cost of funds, such a temptation is not something that some chambers of commerce and big households can refuse, you only need to pay some money to be able to get into some relationship with the new General Shengjing, why not?
So soon Wang Bin let Fu Bo release the news, you must know that it was also this trick before, Wang Bin immediately attracted some big households and some businesses outside the gate to his side, with military support and the support of local big households, Wang Bin has no resistance to any action in the land of Liaoxi, after all, the relationship between the two is both prosperous and lossy.
As a result, the expansion of the Jinzhou Arsenal and its steelmaking mill and Jinzhou yarn mill and cement factory immediately received a lot of financial support, and the key is that through this financing, Wang Bin and some well-known large chambers of commerce in the north have set up contacts.
And this series of financing, although Wang Bin's shares have declined, the identity of the first shareholder is still held by Wang Bin, after all, Wang Bin does not want his factory financing to the end, but he is not a controlling shareholder, and he makes a wedding dress for others in vain.
The most noteworthy thing about this financing is that Wang Bin has obtained a lot of funds from the capital market in the north, and this indirectly shows that this is a union between capitalists, and many capitalists in the north have joined this financing, in Wang Bin's eyes, this financing is completely the initial scale of a capital interest body.
It can be said that in the future, Wang Bin's development will go further and further with the support of the giant beast of capital.
So after the initial formation of this capital interest body, Wang Bin used this capital interest body to open a new direction, first for the problem of steelmaking machinery that he currently needs, and then the problem of raw materials in Wang Bin's factory is not a problem, the most important thing is that Wang Bin's Jinzhou Yarn Factory was originally only established to provide medical gauze to Japan and Russia, but after the end of the war, the sales of this gauze will become Wang Bin's biggest problem, but after this financing, all these problems will not be a problem.
The capital market in the north has opened to Wang Bin, and behind the Jinzhou Yarn Mill there is Wang Bin, the general of Shengjing, and some capitalists in the north, so the sales of the yarn mill are naturally not a problem.
Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the initial development of the capital market was revealed, Wang Bin had already seized the opportunity and used financing again and again to form a huge capital interest body behind him, so that Wang Bin occupied an extremely important position in the capital market in the north.
After Wang Bin received the support of capital, the pace of reform began to unfold slowly, and the first was the reform of the army.
