Chapter 237: Invest 30 million
The arrival of Harpy not only brought a full set of design solutions for Williams's real room, from iron-making furnaces, to steel-making open hearths, to oxygen production, and even the design of all supporting equipment.
However, the price is also quite high, the price of the general 150-ton steel-making furnace is 450,000 US dollars, but after a series of transformations with the addition of oxygen blowing roof, the price of the steel-making furnace has increased to 600,000 US dollars, 10 150-ton oxygen blowing top steel-making furnaces, 10 300-ton iron-making blast furnaces, the two together, a total of 9.8 million US dollars, which is the price of all purchases, even including the price of special engineer installation.
4 million tons of annual production capacity of the steelmaking plant, the price of the basic main body of the facilities reached 9.8 million US dollars, this price is really not a lot, the follow-up supporting facilities, such as hot rolling, cold rolling, special steel production workshop, stainless steel and high-strength steel workshop, rail workshop, ordinary rebar, steel bar, steel column, three-dimensional support workshop, injection of this kind, relatively low technical difficulty, the powers have a complete set of solutions, so the overall price is not high, about 2.5 million, Together with some basic earthworks, as well as some roads, the purchase of excavators and mountain dump trucks totaled $15 million.
This figure is very staggering, but in the United States, for example, the same 4 million tons of annual production capacity of steel mills, the investment amount will be 30 million, and even from design to completion, it will cost a lot of investment.
4 million tons, looking at the numbers on paper, Yang Yuanzhao sighed slightly, even if it was Harpy standing behind him, Yang Yuanzhao's ambition never concealed him, with his full help, he purchased a large number of machine equipment from Germany and the United States, and even found Williams, the authority of the steelmaking industry, but he completed the design of a steelmaking plant so quickly, and even began preliminary preparations, which was more or less dreamy.
"The equipment has already been shipped, right?" Yang Yuanzhao asked.
"Yes, the equipment ordered from the United States has already been shipped!" Harpy nodded and said, Williams's strength lies in this, it seems huge, a complete set of solutions, in fact, most of the applications are mature places, and even before, the second-hand equipment obtained from Germany has undergone a certain process of design and modification, so that it is perfectly applied to the overall system, only oxygen blowing the roof, this new technology, the steelmaking furnace needs to be modified, this is also entrusted to the United States steelmaking mills responsible for production, a few days ago, all the production was completed, One after another, they hit ships on the American side.
20 blast furnaces of different grades, all the equipment of more than tens of thousands of tons, all of which are powerful creations made of steel, will be transported to Baotou through developed water transportation and railway, for Yang Yuanzhao, is it really ready now?
Preparation, far from being ready, whether it is transportation, or other environments, Baiyun Obo does not have, the only better thing is that in Baotou, the industrial zone has been initially running, can slowly train batches of workers, which is the biggest difference from starting from scratch.
"What about the personnel, how many people will Williams send over!"
The design cost of 500,000 yuan, as well as the follow-up 500,000 funds, almost occupies one-fifteenth of the investment in the entire steel plant, this fund is definitely not small, not only the need for Williams to blow the oxygen on the design and apply it to the steelmaking furnace, but also the follow-up technical guidance, in China, there are few steelmaking experts, the only Yang Yuanzhao knows, I am afraid that only the British expert of the Hanyang Iron Works, from the United States, the first country in steelmaking, recruited a group of experts to guide, although they may not be able to stay, But the most difficult preparatory work can be completed.
"They will send an expert group of 30 experts and 120 engineers, and their salaries will be paid by Baotou!"
"Yes, make the list!" Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, the problems that can be solved with money are not all problems, and the one who can be called an expert by Williams is definitely a senior researcher in his real room, plus 120 engineers, which is enough to complete the initial preparations for this small steel plant, although the annual output of the steel plant will reach 4 million tons, but the overall scale is only one-third of the 4 million ton level.
Briefly communicated with Harpy about the specific details, and then, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the time, it was already half past three in the afternoon, he asked Chang Sui to inform all the shareholders of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, to the largest conference room of the Baotou Guild Hall, there is something to discuss, think about it, it has almost arrived.
When Yang Yuanzhao came to the room of Tianzi No. 1 with a large number of texts, everyone arrived, and when Yang Yuanzhao announced the topic of the entire meeting and distributed the texts to everyone, everyone was stunned, I thought that I was going to talk about the expansion of the textile mill, and the textile mill had already begun to expand, but the preliminary expansion plan of 240,000 spindles had already begun, and everyone knew that as long as the problem of cotton source was solved, the expansion of the second step would also begin, through Guò Demei Foreign Firm, in the United States and India, A large amount of cotton has been purchased, and a contract for 600,000 tons has been signed, and the price is even a little cheaper than what China has bought.
When these cotton from abroad, one after another, the production capacity of the entire cotton textile mill will not be affected by the output of cotton, and then the cotton textile mill will burst out of a stronger light, take the current daily output of about 20,000 horses, the daily profit is about 40,000 yuan, if you add the income of printing and dyeing, it will reach about 5-60,000, and the annual income will reach 20 million, which is definitely a cornucopia.
But no one thought that Yang Yuanzhao regarded this shareholders' meeting as a promotion meeting, and when a copy of the text was handed to everyone, everyone couldn't help but be stunned by his thoughts.
"Yuan Zhao, can I call you that?"
"Yes!" Yang Yue's father, Yang Shitang, who spoke officially, was able to overcome public opinion and rank his beloved son to the United States, thousands of miles away, without even giving much support, Yang Yue's living expenses in the United States were basically earned by himself, which was enough to prove his foresight.
"Can I know what the total amount of these investments is?"
"With the last steel complex, the total investment is about 30 million." Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.
Even if everyone is extremely rich, when they heard this number at first glance, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, they thought that Yang Yuanzhao would have a great appetite, but they didn't expect that the appetite would be so big, a huge investment of 30 million, not to mention a small Baotou, even a big city like Taiyuan can't provide so much investment.
China's largest investment in foreign affairs, is the Hanyang Iron Works, Zhang Zhidong using a tough hand and Hubei's developed economy, lasting 20 years, the investment is as high as tens of millions, resulting in huge losses, at its peak, may reach 120,000 production capacity, but now, only 40,000 tons of steel and 80,000 tons of iron.
Hou Jinsheng carefully flipped through the text, he personally watched Yang Yuanzhao complete one project after another, from the very beginning of the flour mill, brick and tile factory, to the cement factory, as if Yang Yuanzhao had a golden hand, every investment project has obtained enough benefits, starting from an ordinary cement factory, to a daily necessities factory, and even a factory of some basic raw materials.
Now he finally set his sights on steel, as a big landowner, Hou Jinsheng does not know about steel, but with the construction of a large number of factories, he still figured out the price of steel, ordinary iron, in this era of industrial mass production, is not valuable, but steel, especially all kinds of finished steel, they are very valuable, and they are not too worried about sales.
The reason why Hanyang Iron Works is currently the largest iron plant in China, is still on the verge of loss, the fundamental reason is that his quality is extremely not up to par, you can see the Yellow River Railway Bridge, a can only pass one carriage at a time, can only use 5 kilometers per hour to pass Guò slowly, a train to cross a bridge, it takes several hours of steel, its quality can be imagined, in China, perhaps because of the relationship and network, can be sold, in foreign countries, there is no market at all.
"Yang Shao, as mentioned in your report, is this design capacity of 4 million tons?" Hou Jinsheng pointed to a part of the text and asked in surprise.
"Yes, the design capacity is 4 million tons of steel and 8 million tons of iron per year!"
"4 million tons?" Other people who have been shocked by the steel plant project have discovered this problem, 4 million tons, which is a hundred times that of Hanyang Iron Works, although the expansion of a hundred times does not mean that the investment will rise to a hundred times, but only 30 million investment can reach a hundred times that of Hanyang Iron Works, what is the value of this steel plant, as long as his steel output reaches the average of ordinary times, this steel plant is definitely a daily progress.
Jin Shang is not ignorant of the science and technology of the whole world, a huge steel plant, in a sense, also represents a complex of interests, if it can really use 30 million investment, in exchange for 4 million tons of steel and 8 million tons of iron per year, this represents what a huge benefit.
Even the well-informed leaders of the Jin merchants, their breathing began to be short, even if they had seen the textile mills, but compared with the large steel complex, it was definitely a grade lower. R1152
