Chapter 53: Dreams

"Believe it or not!"

Turning his head to look at Xiao Xinren, Chen Moran pointed to a wasteland along the Huangpu River in front of him, yesterday, this was still an ownerless official land, but today, his surname is Chen, this is Chen Moran's first real property in this era, except for the mansion, 266 acres of land, although it is a wasteland, but after all, from then on, in this era, he can be regarded as a place to stand, or rather, a place to start.

"Ten years later, the financial empire I once talked about started here!"

Facing this wasteland, Chen Moran looked satisfied, where did the financial empire start? Obviously, it won't be here, the real start should be the factory five miles away from here, everything starts from there, as for here, it's just a disguise.

Although he has a lot of trust in Xiao Xinren, this trust has a bottom line, he only needs to know the industrial company, as for the "Federal Reserve Shanghai Banknote Printing Factory", forget it, as for the first factory of the industrial company, it is the wasteland in front of him, in Chen Moran's view, no matter how the printing factory develops in the future, he is just a disguise.

"It's just a printing shop!"

Although he said so, but Xiao Xinren also has a sense of achievement, in the past few weeks, he was busy with this factory, first Tongdi Lao Qi Chang Yang Company is negotiating with the United States Miraben Company to negotiate the design of the factory, and the old Qi Chang Yang Company is responsible for the purchase of universal engraving machine, steel plate passing machine, hand lever gravure printing machine and lithographic printing machine, lead printing machine, disc machine, printing machine, camera and other plate printing equipment and generators and other corresponding power equipment, just yesterday, he also discussed plant matters with several construction companies. After the completion of this factory, its complete equipment, advanced technology, can be called the only one in China, and the most important thing is that he will be the first factory in China that can print money.

"This is just the beginning!"

Chen Moran grinned, the wasteland in front of him was the beginning, the beginning of his financial and industrial empire. According to the price now discussed, the huge amount of money spent on 600,000 US dollars is nothing more than to cover up the existence of that factory, after all, in front of the world, Chen Moran needs a place to start, and this printing house is where he started.

"Just tell the truth!"

Compared with Chen Moran's hesitation, Xiao Xinren was still pale at this time, and he had his worries.

"Although it is said that there is no company that prints money in the Great Qing Dynasty now, there is indeed a market where foreign banks, our money bank, all need to print banknotes, but if one day, the imperial court itself sets up a printing bureau to print money, I am afraid that when the time comes, the investment of 600,000 huge funds will not be wasted!"

In fact, from the day he accepted the appointment, Xiao Xinren has been muttering in his heart about the "first banknote printing company" that Chen Moran said, how to think about it, and how to feel that it is risky.

"600,000 US dollars, 600,000 yuan is enough to run a machinery factory with a good scale, however, compared with printing, the profit of production machinery is greater."

Xiao Xinren said with pity.

"And running a machinery factory, you can train talents for the future, and even when you really run that factory, you can also produce some of the machines yourself, and yet, you are still from a mechanical background."

"Minzhi!"

Chen Moran spit out two words.

"The opening of a printing plant is conducive to opening up the wisdom of the people, if the wisdom of the people is not opened, even if we open a large factory, in the end it will be a bamboo basket for nothing."

As he spoke, Chen Moran pointed to the wasteland in front of him.

"Set up a printing shop here, and then set up a school next to it."

"Academy?"

"That's right, not only to run the school, but also the school tuition, room and board are all free, and even send some pocket money every month, to work to make up for the study, students here to learn engineering, business, finance, usually go to the factory to help, subsidize tuition, room and board, first recruit a thousand hundreds of students, the way of self-improvement, the first depends on talents, whether we are running a printing plant now or a machinery factory in the future, a bank, we need talents, external recruitment, Western learning for decades is not prosperous, how many talents can be selected? So let's run our own school, only in this way, can we build that financial empire in the future. ”

As he spoke, Chen Moran took out a few pieces of paper from his coat pocket.

"This is the charter of a school that I have racked my brains to write these days, the pen determines the gun, and the same is true for the financial industry, whether the pen can succeed or not, directly determines whether our financial empire can succeed in the future!"

Since the recognition of counterfeit banknotes is not a long-term solution, Chen Moran began to go all out to plan his own "commercial and financial empire", in addition to banks, factories, the most important thing is to be afraid of all kinds of schools, although I don't know much about this era, but from Xiao Xinren when preparing the printing house, it is necessary to hire more than a dozen foreign technicians through foreign banks, it can be seen that the most scarce fear in this era is all kinds of talents, always blindly hiring from abroad is not a long-term solution.

"In the future, every time our bank invests in a factory, we not only need to send management personnel, but also need to send technicians, we need technicians, we don't have our own technology, in the end we just follow other people's butts to learn to walk, technology lags behind people, and will eventually be eliminated by outsiders, only technology-ahead of people, can we develop!"

At this time, Chen Moran turned around and looked at the rice fields behind him and the buildings by the river.

"In Shanghai, the Bund and the concession are the most prosperous, but what about Pudong? Although there are several warehouses and factories of foreign foreign companies here, compared with the concession, this is a barbaric place at all, and those foreign devils, one by one, stand in the high-rise buildings of the concession, look at us from above, they drink wine, dance, and after they are full of wine and food, they go to the balcony, stretch out their arms to the Chinese downstairs, wave left and right like God treats sinners on earth, and then shout there.

"You Chinese, poor Chinese! Since you have the concession, you have been saved, and our scientific civilization in the West has brought you to heaven! It seems like a savior. ”

At this time, the expression on Chen Moran's face changed.

"Shit! What the hell are these foreign devils, they actually put on a savior appearance, from here, not Yang, I dare to bet with you! In less than ten years, ten years later, Pudong will be surrounded by factories, one after another, in addition to factories, there is also a large commercial area, which will be more prosperous than the concession in Puxi! The land price must be higher, and the compradors of the foreign bank will also compete to buy a house in Pudong at that time, and all this must be driven by us! It's our factory! It's the industrial company and our bank! ”

Looking back at Xiao Xinren's stunned and almost unbelievable appearance, Chen Moran laughed, this is exactly the effect he wanted.

If you say that when you worked in the political axe organ, what you learned the most, I am afraid is to look at the blueprint, to see the grand plan that makes people excited, rejoicing, but the ghost knows, those grand plans are paved one by one, and there are a few that can be realized, and in the end, everyone also summed up a sentence "It is better to look at the blueprint than to look at the yellow map", but the grand plan can indeed make people excited, make people rejoice, and even be willing to suffer for it.

The reason why this blueprint is being drawn is not only to show Xiao Xinren, but to show it to those old people in the future, and use their money to spread out this blueprint and spread out the financial and industrial empire that belongs to him Chen Moran!

"Weiyang! Let's go! No matter how late it is, there will be no boat back! ”

After ordering Xiao Xinren, who was still immersed in Chen Moran's blueprint, Chen Moran turned around and walked towards the ferry in the distance, there was no bridge on the Huangpu River, and he needed to take a ferry to and fro. And then, he had to go to see a guest, and the letter from that person made it impossible for him not to meet that person.

(About the protagonist, speechless wants to explain, after all, for the protagonist, the protagonist who starts from the perspective of self-interest, his changes are imperceptible changes, for the protagonist, speechless has been thinking about it for a long time, he can't be a full patriot, more often, he is a mortal who seeks to maximize his own interests, as for patriotism in his heart, at least now in his heart, has been suppressed in a corner, he can't become a saint, the only thing that can become is a mortal, But even if this person is not patriotic, self-professing bad things, he occasionally reveals a little national emotion, whether it is the Yongle Grand Ceremony or killing, it is just a performance, of course, his idea is very simple, it is not a patriotic purpose, it can only be said to be a manifestation of emotional words mixed with personal surname and national emotions, I personally think, whether it is Sima in the small citizen, or Chen Moran now, in fact, it is a kind of performance of ordinary people, Sima in the small citizen, you can only hold your own state of mind by self-reflection, and what about Chen Moran? All I can say is that he is another manifestation of ordinary people, **intertwined performance.

In short, Speechless will do everything possible to present a wonderful story to the big guys, as for the early development, it is impossible to point to Chen Moran becoming a big hero overnight, Speechless believes that heroes are instantaneous, and there is no eternity, only dead heroes are eternal, as for Chen Moran, let him go step by step...... Hehe! Don't say it.,It's a spoiler if you say it.,In addition,It's more today.,Ask for a collection! Ask for recommendations! )
