On the day of the auction, the auditorium of Shanxi University, which was the auction venue, was crowded with businessmen participating in the auction, and there were not enough chairs, so many people simply stood. The businessmen with different expressions have only one wish, that is, to photograph their favorite factories as soon as possible.

There are many businessmen, because they know that their strength is not enough, and it is difficult to win in the auction, these businessmen and their local business friends, as well as business partners who have close business contacts, jointly participate in the auction, and the largest group of joint bidders is the businessmen in the Wutai Yanbei area headed by Xu Yiqing.

As soon as the auction began, the auditorium became very enthusiastic, and it could even be said that it was fierce. Many of the final winners of the industry have gone through more than a dozen rounds of raising cards before they got their wish. And the success of each factory will attract a wave of excitement and admiration, congratulations and regrets and envy.

The final auction results were also very satisfactory, with dozens of enterprises such as Jinyu Fenjiu Co., Ltd., Shanxi Match Factory, Shanxi Flour Mill, Shanxi Textile Factory, Shanxi Woolen Weaving Factory, and Shanxi Mining Bureau, as well as dozens of enterprises such as power plants in Pingding, Xiangyuan, Changzhi, Jincheng, Pingyang, Yuncheng, Xinjiang, Lingshi, Xiangning, Fenyang, Qilan, Shuoxian, Laoxian, and Datong, as well as 35 percent of the shares of the Pujin Silver Mining Company, 25 percent of the shares of the Yujin Coal Mining Company, and 50 percent of the shares of the Tongbao Coal Mining Company. Fifty-one percent of the shares of the Shanxi civilian factory were successfully sold, and a total of more than 32 million yuan was obtained.

Among them, Jinyu Fenjiu Co., Ltd., after Fenjiu won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition, was instructed by Yan Xishan to make his adjutant, first by forcibly buying shares, merging dozens of distilleries in Xinghua Village, Fenyang into a company, and then, slowly, gradually squeezing out the rest of the shareholders, and now it is completely controlled by the Overseer's Government for profit.

The reason why Fenjiu is good is not only that the brewing process is unique, but also because later generations have been scientifically tested and proved that the key to the unique style of Fenjiu lies in the green liquor ecology in the Xinghua Village area, its air and soil contain a variety of substances that are very conducive to the growth of Fenjiu microorganisms, after more than 1,000 years of selection, elimination, optimization and reproduction, hundreds of microorganisms have "settled down" here, forming a unique "Fenjiu microbial system" that cannot be stolen or moved, and is the only one suitable for the growth of microorganisms in the production of FenjiuThis system has been passed down from generation to generation, which is the key to the mystery of Xinghua Village Fenjiu, and it is also the largest resource wealth of Xinghua Village in Fenyang, Shanxi.

For such an irreproducible enterprise, Song Zhewu feels that it is better to attribute it to the private sector, which can make Fenjiu better return to its true nature. Of course, he will also make positive efforts for the development of Fenjiu. Therefore, Song Zhewu ignored the opposition of some people in the Northern Construction and Development Committee this time and insisted on putting it up for auction and sale.

It's just that because of Fenjiu, which cannot be copied, its starting price is also extremely high, with an opening price of 6 million. This starting price Song Zhewu is still based on the actual situation and the strength of the businessmen, if it is in the future generations, it will be 600 million, and it will be squeezed out. But what surprised Song Zhewu was that because the starting price was too high, Jinyu Fenjiu Co., Ltd. did not auction it!

Among the companies auctioned, the bidding for more than a dozen large and small coal mines owned by the Pujin Silver Mining Company in Datong and the Shanxi Mining Bureau, as well as 25 percent of the shares of the Yujin Coal Mining Company, was the most intense.

At this time, people are very fond of mineral deposits, in their opinion, investing in coal mines, with little investment, quick results, and huge profits, is a profitable, profitable business. As long as you own the mineral, even if it is still buried in the ground, your property will be fully protected and there will be no danger of bankruptcy.

As a result, more than a dozen large and small coal mines of the Shanxi Mining Bureau were quickly snapped up by the powerful Fenyang Coal Company, which was jointly established by Fenyang capitalists Liu Gongheng, Feng Qingfu, Liu Zhaowen, Shi Beilan, and others, as well as wealthy people such as the capitalist Han Wenren, the landlord Jia Xuren of Liuzigou in the Jin Temple, the big landlord Kang Jia of the North Road, and the big capitalist Zhang Zizhang, who was called one of the "four rich men" in Shanxi.

Because Xu Yiqing has resigned as the manager of Shanxi Provincial Bank, and now he is back to do his business with peace of mind, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

He is the major shareholder of the Pujin Silver Mining Company, Jia Jiying before this, on the grounds that he wants to operate the Northern Investment and Development Bank with peace of mind, has sold his shares in the Jinyu Coal Mining Company to Xu Yiqing, Xu Yiqing is now the largest shareholder of the Jinyu Coal Mining Company, this time Xu Yiqing for insurance, and contacted more than a dozen large and small businesses, desperately bought back the shares of the Pujin Silver Mining Company and the Yujin Coal Mining Company, and he is still very confident in these two enterprises.

Although the more than 32 million raised is not much, there is still a big gap compared with the total reserve of 150 million in the Jin banknote, but this has basically achieved Song Zhewu's goal. In order to ensure the normal circulation of Jin banknotes, there are three percent of the ocean of all circulating Jin banknotes as a reserve, and it is enough to deal with the exchange, and he can slowly save up the remaining ocean.

Moreover, if the Jin banknotes under his auspices were reputable, they would require even less reserves.

There is another one, that is, Song Zhewu knew that because after the United States passed the silver bill in 34 years, the world silver price rose sharply, resulting in the outflow of silver from China, the sharp decline in the circulation of currency, and the shaking of China's silver standard monetary system. At that time, his money did not need to have reserves.

And then, these oceans can be at his disposal. Therefore, Song Zhewu's sorting out of Jin banknotes this time can be described as fame and fortune, and he has made a lot of money.

However, the Shanxi No. 1 Steelmaking Plant, Jinheng Paper Mill, Taiyuan Bone Meal Factory, Taiyuan Fertilizer Factory, Sericulture Factory, as well as several feeder factories and three ceramic factories, as well as 63 percent of the shares of Jinsheng Bank, were not interested.

This is because these enterprises either have large investments and do not make much profits, which is a thankless task.

This is the most typical of the first steelmaking plant in Shanxi, and these big businessmen are all shrewd and abnormal people, if you want to do a good job in the steelmaking plant, there is no knowledgeable person to manage and operate, it is absolutely not possible, when it comes to advanced technical problems, they are as far away as possible.

Either these companies are profitable, but they are small, and if they want to make money, they have to expand their scale. This is the case with several feeder factories and ceramic factories and sericulture factories.

The people who came to participate in the auction this time were all big businessmen with strong financial resources, especially businessmen from other provinces, and they couldn't look down on the smaller profits at all. The biggest loss of the Jin banknote was the local small and medium-sized businessmen in Shanxi, although these people wanted to win some small factories, but they suffered from lack of funds. Because of the recent turmoil, I don't dare to take out a loan.

There are also some companies that are simply chicken ribs in the eyes of the businessmen who come to the auction, and they don't even want to buy such companies and shares.

For example, Jinheng Paper Mill, Taiyuan Bone Meal Factory, Taiyuan Fertilizer Factory, and 63% of the shares of Jinsheng Bank are like this.

Not to mention the shares of Jinsheng Bank, now everyone can see it very clearly, because there is a strong Northern Investment and Development Bank, which performed very well during the depreciation of the Jin banknote and has an outstanding reputation. Didn't I see Xu Yiqing, one of the major shareholders of Jinsheng Bank, not buy back his own bank's shares today? That shows that he himself has no confidence in Jinsheng Bank.

As for the Jinheng Paper Mill, Taiyuan Bone Meal Factory, and Taiyuan Fertilizer Factory, no one buys them, Song Zhewu believes that these people have not really realized their value.

Song Zhewu has seen the information on the assets and operation of these factories, and it should be very good.

Jinheng Paper Mill is only relatively small in scale and has a small production capacity, only 400 kilograms per day. Moreover, the process technology is not up to par, and there is a gap in quality with Waifu paper. However, Song Zhewu believes that such a problem is easy to solve.

As for the Taiyuan Bone Meal Factory and Taiyuan Fertilizer Factory, no one bought them, which somewhat surprised Song Zhewu at first, but after Feng Rui and Zhao Chengxia's explanation, they understood.

At this time, the vast majority of farmers farmed their own farms, and few people would be extravagant enough to spend money on fertilizer.

The reason why Yan Xishan built a bone meal factory and a fertilizer factory for fertilizer was because Yan Xishan implemented the needs of his "Six Politics and Three Affairs" agricultural plan.

Yan Xishan believed: "The Jin people engaged in agriculture a lot, and the property occupied by agriculture was two-thirds of the full amount of Shanxi R&F." "The cultivated land in Jin Province was originally good, but only with many years of barren fertilizer, not enough to compensate for the place, resulting in the gradual deterioration of soil quality, production gradually decreased, and the harvest per mu was less than one-third of the eastern and western countries.

This plan aims to use scientific methods to make the soil fertilized, the products increased, the land is fully utilized, and the wealth is rich." "Emphasis on irrigation, the development of agriculture is the system, so the water conservancy plan is first used to remove pests and diseases, improve the soil, and increase the yield, so the plan of pesticides and fertilizers, the selection of seeds, the development of seedlings, and then the plan of agricultural experiments."

Yan Xishan's ideas and aspirations were good, but he ignored the actual situation and economic affordability of the peasants in Shanxi, and Yan Xishan could not force the peasants to buy their shares and fertilizer in the same way that he did the semi-forced planting of cotton and trees, unless he gave the peasants money to buy fertilizer.

Therefore, the bone meal factory and the fertilizer factory are now operating bleakly, but this is a supporting enterprise for the implementation of the "six policies and three things", no one dares to suggest stopping production, Yan Xishan himself insists on opening it, and he hopes that the people will accept it in the long run.

Deep Blue reiterates that everything in Shanxi in this book is based on real historical materials, and even the factory name, output, and personnel's educational qualifications, etc., are 90% true, and only a small number of names are really impossible to find. Deep Blue strives to bring the pig's feet back to the real and reliable 30s, and realize the ideal in the pig's feet by integrating the human and natural resources at that time, rather than pure illusory subjective fabrication.
