Liu Shu here, the process of negotiation with Nie Yuntai, reported to the northwest by telegram, from this meeting, both sides are more satisfied, 12,000 tons of special steel, the total price of the order exceeded 12 million yuan, which is also the first large-scale order after Taiyuan Special Steel was put into production.

Taiyuan Special Steel, also under the promotion of Yang Yuanzhao, although the total output is only one-sixth of Baiyun Obo Iron and Steel Plant, only half of another small steel mill in Taiyuan, but Taiyuan Special Steel's profits are amazing, in terms of engines, steam turbines, auto parts, spring steel and shock absorption, Taiyuan Special Steel's products have irreplaceable performance, profits are also maintained - excellent - excellent - small - said - more - new - the fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - ultra-high Cheng dù.

The same weight of steel, even if additives and quenching processing methods are added, the increased cost is not high, the key is in scientific research, really to add the cost of scientific research, the profit margin of special steel is not very high, but the northwest because of the all-in-one machine such an anti-heaven artifact, in the production of bulk commodities is very good, in the material, even better, special steel can produce 17 categories, 192 kinds of steel and metal materials, only 4 types of formula obtained by Guò Harpy abroad, 17 were brought by the Baotou Research Institute and scientists, and the remaining 171 were all brought by Yang Yuanzhao.

Yang Yuanzhao did not extract much of the cost of scientific research, but only extracted 5% of the total profit as a R&D cost. There is also 12% of the research fund, and the rest. All of them were handed over to Special Steel, which is the same as other special steel plants. 70-80% of the R&D cost of new products, and even only the production has reached a fairly large number of batches and types, which is too superior, several times, or even dozens of times the price of ordinary steel, so that the profit margin of special steel is maintained at a super high level, and because of the huge cash flow feed, so that the research institute of special steel is treated very well. Personnel are in short supply.

Finalized such the first order, special steel director Zhou Shuquan also urgently went back, temporary special steel products, very few external, are for Baotou large heavy industry enterprises, and even now, special steel is also shouldering the research and development of large cranes and gantry crane materials, marine steel is just one of the small items that are not particularly large. R&D work and production have already been carried out, and the next step is to gradually implement the construction of a dedicated production plant. This is not difficult for Baotou, which has a huge capital.

got Liu Shu's first-hand information, and Yang Yuanzhao also used the Investigation Bureau. Began an in-depth investigation of the Jiangnan Shipyard, the complex shareholder structure. In the investigation bureau's all-pervasive investigation, there is nothing to hide. The largest number is the shares headed by the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, which have 32.11% and 23.75% of the shares respectively, almost more than 50%, and the largest remaining is about 12% of the Nie family and the Zeng family combined, and the rest are scattered in the hands of large and small businessmen.

Yang Yuanzhao was uncomfortable for a while, it seems that the investigation bureau built with a lot of money is not really pervasive, at least, such a big movement, I didn't find it, although during this time, the things of the investigation bureau have been dragged down by the war between Russia and the north, but such a big thing has not been reported in advance, this should definitely not be, this is just a combination of ordinary shipyards, if it is the convergence of Beiyang and the revolutionary party, for the northwest, it can definitely not be called a good news.

The Northwest never wants to see the convergence of Beiyang and the revolutionary party, not to mention any deep hatred and hatred, the essence of politics lies in compromise, for the same goal, the political family can even let go of the great enemy of life and death, and the enemy who killed his father can face it calmly, not to mention the contradictions between Beiyang and the revolutionary party, this may become some kind of opportunity.

Continue to instruct the Investigation Bureau to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Jiangnan Shipyard, and by the way, to observe the signs of relations between Beiyang and the revolutionary party, to prevent the two factions from merging, and on the other hand, to assess what level China's shipbuilding strength has reached at present.

was reprimanded by Yang Yuanzhao, especially the Investigation Bureau this time, it was obvious that the contact between Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party was overlooked, in order to make up for the merits, even the generals around the Director of the Investigation Bureau Liang Er were sent out for most of the time, and personally sat in Shanghai, the entire Investigation Bureau, most of the essence of the power, all concentrated in Shanghai, not only the Jiangnan Shipyard behind the Qiē cat, but even the three generations of the ancestors of the person in charge, the maidservant and the maid have been investigated, and the context of the Jiangnan Shipyard is basically out, it should be the beginning of the Nie family, Push the snake to swallow the elephant game.

Nie Yuntai's father, before he became the county magistrate of Shanghai, has been in the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau for a long time, and is familiar with one of them, Nie Yuntai is back from studying in the United States, and has a very unique view of the world economy and shipping industry, plus several major actions in the northwest, foreign trade and the construction of the Basra port and the Baghdad railway, transported a large number of materials, so that Shanghai, one of the largest commercial ports in the Far East, has become more lively, and Nie Yuntai, who is located in Shanghai, has also become interested in Jiangnan Shipyard.

Any change starts from interest, Nie Yuntai has this vision, and also has this ability, the Zeng family chose Mingzhe to protect himself because of Zeng Guofan, and withdrew from the power layer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it does not mean that the Zeng family will sink, whether it is Nie Yuntai's second uncle, or the ethnicity of the Zeng family, they have begun to develop horizontally, and the Zeng family has become a behemoth across Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and after his idea was supported by the Nie family and the Zeng family, he immediately began to put it into practice.

In this regard, the Zeng family is responsible for liaison with the head of the Zeng family who stayed in the capital, even if Yuan Shikai is currently tantamount to starting again, but he has to give the Zeng family some face, Li Hongzhang, the founder of Beiyang, that is the Zeng family's support, as for Yuan Shikai, when the power of the Zeng State was in all directions, he was still an envoy in North Korea, a petty official who did not enter the stream.

Beiyang has entered the bureau, basically has cleared a qiē obstacle to eat up the Jiangnan shipyard, whether it is in origin, or in fact, the Jiangnan shipyard belongs to Beiyang, as for the revolutionary party to enter the game, it is because the Jiangnan shipyard is in the south of the Yangtze River, to shipbuilding, you can not let go of the shipping industry, the Yangtze River waterway, a golden waterway, is the foundation for the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry.

After straightening out the situation in the Jiangnan shipyard, the Investigation Bureau continued to conduct an in-depth investigation, this time, mainly on the workers and the level, there are no shipbuilding enterprises in the northwest, even if it is the Yellow River patrol battalion, it is only with the support of Yang Yuanzhao, there are more than a dozen gunboats, at most set up a maintenance base, when the workers were recruited from all over the country before, there may have been engaged in shipbuilding, after coming, they all became ordinary workers, and did not investigate their previous place of work.

The investigation bureau analyzed quite deeply, and even asked some experts, who wrote that China already has the capacity of more than 5,000 tons, and even, after receiving the necessary support, can have the ability to produce more than 10,000 tons of cargo ships. When he saw this, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the final evaluation above in disbelief, Jiangnan Shipyard already has the ability to manufacture 10,000-ton cargo ships.

In history, in 1918 (the 7th year of the Republic of China), in the later stage of World War I, the U.S. government lacked ships and was not enough to help the war, and Han Li, the general office of the U.S. shipping department, and Gu Weijun, the Chinese government's minister to the United States, signed a contract on behalf of both parties, agreeing that Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute would manufacture four transport ships with a deadweight of 10,000 tons and a displacement of 14,750 tons on behalf of the United States, all of which were fully covered deck steam freighters. It is driven by a three-cylinder steam engine manufactured by Jiangnan, with an indicated power of 3670 horsepower, and the first ship is required to be completed within six months.

When the war first began, it was over, so it was suspended. In 1920, the U.S. government demanded the continuation of the contract, and on June 3, 1920 (the 9th year of the Republic of China), the first "Guanfu" (M Brusinov ND Brusinov) was launched. The vessel is 131 meters long, 16.7 meters wide, 14.3 meters high, with a draft of 8.3 meters and a speed of 10.5 knots. Liu Guanxiong, chief of the Beiyang Government's navy, and the US minister to China attended the launching ceremony. The second Celesti Brusinov was launched on August 3; The third, the Orient Brusinov, was launched on February 23 of the following year; The fourth Aurora (C Brusinov th Brusinov Y) was launched on May 26. This was a major project that had never been seen before in China's shipbuilding industry at that time, and it was also the first time that a foreign ship was ordered from a Chinese shipyard. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of all sectors of society, and Chinese and foreign newspapers and periodicals have reported it one after another, saying that it is "the largest ship ever built in the Far East, excluding Japan."

According to the trajectory of the development of the Republic of China, whether it is the trajectory of science and technology or shipbuilding, there should be no obvious difference between the second year of the Republic of China and the seventh year of the Republic of China, and there is no large-scale production equipment.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that he has made a subjective mistake, if he had known the capabilities of the Jiangnan Shipyard, he might have started it a year ago, or even two years ago, even if it was 2 years ago, the Jiangnan Shipyard was still in the hands of the Qing court, it was the same, the 20th century was the maritime century, and any insignificant accumulation and promotion was precious to China, not to mention the shipbuilding industry, the shipbuilding industry of this era, the technical level was not high, as long as there were enough machinery and skilled workers, it was not difficult to catch up with the powers.
