Chapter 288: Leaving Secretly
Huguang Governor's Mansion, Chen Kuilong has been paying attention to the affairs of the Persuasion Association, in the previous week, with Baotou as the core of the Persuasion Industry Exhibition Hall, sales have repeatedly hit new highs, he previously fancied the brocade cloth and color cloth, living up to expectations, aroused full applause, even under the deliberate control of Baotou, sales have reached more than 300,000, which can be said to be a good start, but then, the situation suddenly changed, and the industries he did not value, such as those machines, actually showed up at once with the situation of a dark horse, On the first day, it received tens of millions of orders, not to mention that this transaction volume is better than Tianjin's industry association, even compared to the Japanese industry association a few years ago, it is not much better, this is probably the most outstanding industry meeting in China.
At the level of Chen Kuilong, the official position has basically reached the top, the feudal official, the governor of Huguang, I am afraid that the next position is Liangjiang or Liangguang such a rich fiscal and tax area, even if it is ordinary, he can also do that position, he is more concerned about these real things, Zhang Zhidong's successor self-styled, although he remembers Zhang Zhidong, but he hopes that he can stand out, painstakingly, and finally opened the persuasion meeting, which also proves his vision.
Chen Kuilong never thought that Baotou would give him a bigger surprise, after the first day of orders of tens of millions, the next one, are millions, or even millions, faintly climbing towards a higher attitude, especially yesterday, he actually heard that Baotou has products exported, which is definitely an unexpected surprise, almost let Fuquan monitor the situation here day and night, this day, when the joint signing ceremony was completed, Fuquan trotted all the way back to the Governor's Palace. The Annunciation and the greater reduction were promulgated almost simultaneously.
Chen Kuilong almost reduced the taxes on the side of the Quanye Association to the minimum, and the support of the Qing court center for the Quanye Association was to reduce it by 30%, but now, Chen Kuilong demanded. All of a sudden, it has to be reduced by 60%, according to the tax rate, it is almost millions, the total output value of 70 million, and the tax of one million is not very high. The Qing Dynasty continued the Ming Dynasty, although it was higher than the Ming Dynasty, but it was still maintained at a relatively low level, and this time, it made Baotou extraordinarily profitable.
More than 70 million business. Among them, Baotou paid only a batch of raw materials, and some real research costs, of course, the help of the all-in-one machine is indispensable, although the cost is very large, but the total income of 70 million silver dollars still makes everyone a shot in the arm. Especially when the news reached Baotou, there was an uproar.
Many Jin merchants in Baotou didn't understand. Why did Yang Yuanzhao provide so much money to the institute, a certain amount of time, the input of the institute, I can't see any output, you know, from a year ago. Yang Yuanzhao has successively invested more than 20 million in the real yàn room. It was almost the same as building a steel mill, but it turned out. This is wrong, the previous research institute almost led the construction of the entire Baotou Industrial Zone, and the indirect benefits obtained directly made Baotou's industry rise to a new level.
It's a pity that this kind of indirectness, in this era, most of the Jin merchants can't understand it, after all, all industrial projects are led by Yang Yuanzhao, and they also transfer the ability of the research institute to Yang Yuanzhao.
This time is different, Smith Shi yàn room, is established in Shanghai, which with Baotou and some transactions and exchanges, but the product is shared by the two families, after that, Yang Yuanzhao more focused on highlighting the role of Smith Shi yàn room, in a certain way, the understanding of the Jin merchants is that Yang Yuanzhao took out a sum of money and handed it over to Smith Shi yàn room, so the results produced by this, and produced through Guò Baotou, and finally obtained the benefits of 70 million silver dollars.
As a member of the closed China, the Jin merchants may not understand that the so-called science and technology represent the productive forces, and science and technology change the foundation of fate, but they understand very well that the meaning of money, the investment in the real yàn room, which no one cares about, has suddenly been valued by everyone, and many families will send excellent disciples to enter the real yàn room.
Jin Shang as a veteran Chinese family, these years have also gone out, many people have studied abroad, after these people return to China, will become the backbone of the family or an important force, but because of age and many other reasons, they do not control the power, now the real yàn room, which they do not understand, suddenly let these people come in handy, more than 500 have a background of studying abroad and 3000 young talents with a background of new education, just like a rush to join the real yàn room, While allowing Yang Yuanzhao to accept a large number of talents, it also promoted the development of the real yàn room from the side.
Yang Yuanzhao spared no effort to promote the development of the real room, but many times, he also controlled the speed and left a hand, after all, now the leader of the real room is a foreigner, although foreigners may not betray him, but when the interests are large enough to a certain extent, he still can't believe it, not insurance, just like the power that has always wanted to devote himself to, the engine has always been controlled by himself, and he will not even build a real room to develop, after all, this piece is for the whole world, is a huge progress, and this group of young people with overseas backgrounds, as long as they are systematically trained, maybe within a year or two, they will be able to become his good helpers.
Overall, the whole Baotou in this Wuhan industry will be above the table, enough amazing, not to mention the rubber close to 80 million silver dollars, not to mention stainless steel and welding equipment 7 million, just to say that in the domestic orders, the Northwest Machinery Company has many categories, including the most popular daily necessities of more than 100 kinds of machines, almost everything, and many contracts have been signed continuously.
In the end, the contract amount was determined to be 34 million, of which the down payment reached 10 million, it can be said that the Northwest Machinery Company not only sold out the inventory produced in the past three months, but also sold out, even if it was an order, it has been lined up for three or four months, some popular products, such as textile machinery, printing and dyeing machinery, as well as matches and flour processing machinery, these are the most popular in the whole Baotou, these orders are scheduled at least half a year later, which is the result of Baotou Machinery Qì Company expanding production.
The whole trip to Wuhan has been a huge success, the most gratifying thing for Yang Yuanzhao is that there are more than 200 enterprises, which will be set up in the next three or four months, which represents an emerging force, Yang Yuanzhao took out, are the most profitable machines in this world, take the textile industry as an example, basically have a machine and skilled workers, a few months to recover costs, this is definitely not a problem, this is the charm of light industry, according to this development, China's light industry, Definitely going to rise from this fall.
The expo in Wuhan was still in full swing, and the orders of the machine qì bureau were received every day, but Yang Yuanzhao did not return to Baotou, but took a boat down the river and rushed to Shanghai at the fastest speed, for no other reason, he received an encrypted telegram from Harpy, which did not say anything, just an agreed emergency symbol.
Entering this era, feeling the passion of this era, but even more lamented by the backwardness of this era, the cable telegraph, which can allow people thousands of miles away to communicate with each other, is accused of being in the hands of foreigners, to be precise, in the hands of the British, with the help of the cable telegraph laid along the railway, a certain way, is the tentacles of the powers to control China.
With the development of Baotou getting faster and faster, with the situation in Baotou getting better and better, a lot of secrets, in fact, it is inconvenient for others to know, so some information must be sent by a special person, but the backward transportation, so that the communication between Shanghai and Baotou is not smooth, Yang Yuanzhao and Harpy agreed on a preliminary password, with the help of a book, to send some more ordinary, or sensitive news, but the most important news, a certain Cheng dù, the telegram can not bear, need to be interviewed, but also agreed on a few special symbols, Divided into several orders of magnitude.
Among them, Yang Yuanzhao received the highest order of magnitude, that is, 100,000 urgent signals, seeing this signal, or Yang Yuanzhao, or Harpy, will meet at the fastest speed, and Yang Yuanzhao is in Wuhan, there is just a clipper going to Shanghai, only a little more than a day to arrive, such a speed, is already this era, in addition to flying, the fastest, the Yangtze River with a natural channel, unparalleled traffic tonnage, has become a natural transportation channel in this backward era.
The whistle sounded, Yang Yuanzhao secretly left the three towns of Wuhan, no one notified, including many people who participated in the persuasion meeting, only among the high-level, slightly informed, this time Baotou in the persuasion meeting, it can be said that enough results have been achieved, The total transaction amount exceeded 120 million silver dollars, this number, enough to make everyone look sideways, Yang Yuanzhao is not short of money, a certain amount of dù above, with gold as a backing, he can exchange all the hard currency, whether it is US dollars, or pounds, it is easy, this time for Yang Yuanzhao, money is secondary, the key is a large number of rich people united around him, he believes that as long as Baotou's technology and industry are gradually upgraded, relying on steel, a number of light industries are released, handed over to these rich people to operate, under sufficient interests, it will inevitably achieve great development, China's national industry, will develop at a faster pace than that era, and even in the First World War a few years later, get enough war dividends.
But Harpy's telegram, like a layer of gloom, shrouded in his heart, what happened, according to the agreement, 100,000 urgent, I am afraid it is enough to shake the foundation of the entire Baotou, what will it be? Could it be that the secret of Baotou was discovered by the great powers or the center of the Qing court, and they wanted to do something to Baotou?
In contemplation, the steamboat slowly left Wuhan, and Yang Yuanzhao also relaxed, no matter what, a day later, when he saw Harpy, he would know a qiē. (To be continued) R580
