Chapter XXXVIII

Tungsten is a metallic element. The chemical element symbol of tungsten is W, the atomic number is 74, the relative atomic mass is 183.85, the atomic radius is 137 picometers, and the density is 19.35 grams per cubic centimeter.

Tungsten is less abundant in nature, it is a rare metal, but it has a wide range of uses, the most well-known is the tungsten wire in the bulb, and some high-temperature resistant materials, tungsten is one of the metals with the highest melting point among the metals.

I am very familiar with tungsten, but Yang Yuanzhao came to 1908 for so many days, it was the first encounter, and he did not expect that tungsten is a good thing, a certain amount of metal with the highest melting point on him, in many alloys, have a considerable effect, China is the country with the largest export volume of tungsten, but also one of the countries with the largest reserves, Jiangxi, has always been the origin of tungsten, tungsten in this era, just applied up, most of them are military applications, such as Germany developed tungsten containing cannon steel, the strength increasesAs for later generations, tungsten was also used in a large number of metal alloys, mainly in some alloys with high melting points and greater hardness.

Just refining gold and silver, along with the volume that the all-in-one machine can hold, is getting bigger and bigger, and the gold mine in Baotou will always run out of money, and some other precious metals have become his natural choice.

Yang Yuanzhao turned back to Yang Shixun and asked, "Uncle Shi, don't you know that our Yang Family Chamber of Commerce has a distribution in Jiangxi?" ”

"Of course, Jiangxi is an important town on the Yangtze River, and there must be a distribution there, responsible for purchasing local products from Jiangxi, and selling some of the products we purchased by the way, what's wrong, does Young Master Yang have anything to do?" Yang Shixun asked with a little confusion.

"I bought a batch of Blackstone mines, and I don't know if I can do it."

Yang Shixun recalled for a while, and asked with a little hesitation: "Blackstone mine, this is a specialty of Jiangxi, and many foreign commercial houses are buying it, and I don't know what to do with it." ”

In this era, the Chinese have not yet realized the importance of tungsten ore, the origin of tungsten ore in Jiangxi, has realized that this thing represents wealth, they began to control the entire mountain, relying on financial resources and fists, occupying the mining rights of minerals, from then on, every load of black stone exported from China, with heavy blood, I don't know how many people, so lost their lives.

This kind of occupation, at best, is to make a family rich, they understand the important role of tungsten ore, even if they raise a lot of prices, the overall price, is still very low, they finally do is to sell resources.

Jiangxi's tungsten ore, the first to be discovered is the British, but the real attention is still the Germans, tungsten alloy, in a lot of steel, has a huge role, since Germany noticed this ore, every year in China a large number of imports.

The important role of tungsten ore is also the use and use of the Germans, and then it is famous in the world, tungsten steel, tungsten sand, tungsten ore, a complete category, and the performance of the alloy steel system, thus formed.

"I need 10,000 tons of blackstone mines, I don't know if the shopkeeper can do it." Yang Yuanzhao said in the middle.

Yang Shixun said: "Although there are a lot of black stones, it is 10,000 tons, which is a little more!" ”

Yang Shixun said this, suddenly shut up and stopped talking, Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then understood, Yang Shixun is not not not not helping, but this amount is too large, if it is replaced 20 years ago, black stone is similar to ordinary stone, no one knows his use, as long as it is artificial, how many come and how much, after discovering that black stone is tungsten ore from foreign compradors, the price of black stone has surged, 10,000 tons of black stone, but a very large fortune, the Yang family and Yang Yuanzhao, but because of the business of the reclamation company, If you want to pay this fee in advance, it is absolutely impossible.

Yang Yuanzhao, who wanted to understand, suddenly said: "Money is not a problem!" ”

"Young Master Yang, do you know how much 10,000 tons of black stone cost?" Yang Shixun was taken aback and said subconsciously.

7 days, has let Yang Yuanzhao have 140,000 funds, 10,000 tons of tungsten ore, in this era, the price is still very low, this era, the cost of ore extraction, and the cost of extraction is very amazing, the price between tungsten ore concentrate powder and ordinary black stone, almost a thousand times, this is not to say that it is a waste of quantity, 1 load of black stone, will not exceed 5 cents, a ton is only 10 pieces, but 10,000 tons, almost 100,000 silver dollars, this is a lot of money.

"I will deposit 100,000 yuan in the ticket number of the Wei family, which will be specially used to acquire Blackstone, the more the merrier, and when the time comes, the shopkeeper will try to send him to Shanghai." Yang Yuanzhao said.

"That's fine!" Yang Shixun nodded and said, not to mention that Yang Yuanzhao was specifically mentioned by Yang Shitang to offer shares, let's just say that it is a business of 100,000 yuan, a similar bulk ore business, the profit is not high, but it is a big business, which is good for the Wuhan branch. Between Jiangxi and Shanghai, there is the Yangtze River waterway, a certain distance above, can be very easy to transport things over, even if it is an ordinary flat-bottomed boat, it does not cost much, so the freight, he didn't even mention it.

"I'll go and do it for Young Master Yang."

"Don't worry, okay, when we arrive in Shanghai, the ore will be delivered." Yang Shixun said proudly.

Yang Shixun has the ability to be proud, for the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, Yang Yuanzhao does not know much, but under Yang Yue's introduction, he understands a little that the Yang Family will be a behemoth in China in the late Qing Dynasty.

In fact, throughout the Qing Dynasty, many things are very strange, the chamber of commerce and the business group has developed to a very terrible point, with the joint efforts of many businessmen, one by one, the business group, I am afraid that it will not be much worse than the large central state-owned enterprises in later generations, the scale is huge, and the profits are high.

The Yang Family Chamber of Commerce is one of them, a behemoth that is far beyond imagination, not to mention his assets, but also to say that the annual turnover is at least in tens of millions of taels, and it is not ten million or twenty million. The business of the Yang family, concentrated in the market, receiving stores, logistics sales, and retail as a whole, the annual cash flow, up to tens of millions, from the south to the north, the profits are amazing, if someone points a little bit, for its modernization, the efficiency of this behemoth will inevitably be greatly improved, and his profits and turnover will be even more amazing.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao will not be stupid enough to do this, in the old times, whether it was a businessman or a family, there were intricate relationships in it, it looked huge, but it was like a castle on the beach, as soon as the tide rushed, it would be washed away, not to mention, he was an outsider, whether he could be in power in this family, even if he was in power, so what, the intricate relationship, as well as the backward industrial structure, will make people brainless, internal friction is far greater than output, it is better to start a new stove, with the help of an all-in-one machine, In addition, in cooperation with several major families, with the help of the four major forces, to develop their own industries, when the heavy industry is formed, it will be a long river that will sweep the world.

New industry, new machines, and even a large number of workers who have been carefully trained by him, all of which are complete, and he has such a forward-looking vision of a traverser, with all-in-one machines and more advanced design, increasing efficiency and reducing costs, such products such as those will be popular in the world, and what can not be successful.

Found another good decomposition product, Yang Yuanzhao was extremely excited in his heart, staggered the eyes of Wu San and Yang Shixun, he quietly put away some waste residue, his movements were very small, plus the chaotic waste residue was thrown here, layer by layer, no one would think about it, Yang Yuanzhao quietly took away a large piece.

Now the all-in-one machine, at most can only accommodate 8000 cubic meters, this is a 20 long, wide and high cube, compared to tens of meters high slag mountain, it is simply very inconspicuous, Yang Yuanzhao did not dig a lot at a time, he just took away a little here, there took away a little, as far as possible not abrupt, around the slag mountain, wandered around, almost less than 10 minutes of time, to complete the collection of materials.

In the all-in-one machine that has been empty, it is once again full of materials, ordinary granite and soil that have been decomposed for more than a day, these decomposed things, nothing more than some copper and iron, these things, the value is not high, and it is relatively heavy, there is nowhere to put it, Yang Yuanzhao is often burned as fuel for the all-in-one machine, among these slag mountains, most of the iron has been used, and the rest is other mineral deposits, in addition to the very small content of tungsten, rare metals such as rare earth elements, and some precious metals, these, Yang Yuanzhao carefully left, these are important additives for future alloys, 21st century optoelectronics, electromagnetics, and new materials, all related to rare earths and other trace elements, these treasures, can not be wasted casually.
