"Iron of Hanyang!"

As soon as the four words came out, Sheng Xuanhuai, who had just reached out to serve the teacup due to dry mouth, paused with his left hand, but it was only a moment, when he picked up the teacup with his left hand, Sheng Xuanhuai first sighed lightly, his action was only tight in Chen Moran's eyes, and he still understood the gift of serving tea to guests.

Sheng Xuanhuai pointed to Chen Moran's teacups on the table.

"Please tea!"

Hearing these two words, Chen Moran and Sun Mingjiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Sheng Xuanhuai didn't seem to be aware of it, he took a sip of tea, and when he was drinking tea, Chen Moran took a closer look and found that his mind didn't seem to be on the tea.

Sheng Xuanhuai's contemplation made Chen Moran feel confident in his heart, and his hands clenched his fists at him.

"My lord, now that Hanyang Iron Works is in a predicament, there is no need for the younger generations to say more! The adult has presided over Han Yeping for several years, and he must know better than the younger generation. ”

Although the language is respectful, but the words are not flattering, although he has been learning a word of etiquette, Chen Moran has always been unable to learn the polite and complicated etiquette of people in this era.

"Five years ago, the adult took over the Hanyang Iron Works, although the construction of the Pingxiang Coal Mine was carried out by virtue of the German business ceremony and the loan of the Ben Dalun, and the railway was opened, which solved the problem of fuel in Hanyang. It can be said that the current steel of Hanyang has decided the life and death of Hanyang! ”

When mentioning steel, Chen Moran noticed that Sheng Xuanhuai raised his eyebrows, and knew that he had hit the point, in the Shanghai market, imported steel was more than 30 taels per ton, but the Hanyang factory was 23 taels per ton.

"However, for several years, adults have been worried about the matter of Hanyang! What's more, now, if the steel problem is not resolved, I am afraid that Hanyang may eventually go bankrupt! ”

At this time when Chen Moran said this, Sheng Xuanhuai looked directly at Chen Moran, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"However, it seems that you are coming to the house today, and the picture is not small!"

Sheng Xuanhuai's words made Chen Moran smile slightly.

"As the adults say, there is no such thing, but there is still some financial resources! Before returning to China, he had asked experts abroad to test Daye's iron and Pingxiang's coal, both of which are of the highest grade, the coal of Pingkuang, less ash, light sulfur phosphorus, the most suitable for ironmaking, is a rare good coal in China. As for the iron ore ......"

Speaking of the key point, Chen Moran suddenly stopped talking, but picked up the teacup and drank the tea with some rudeness. His appearance made Sheng Xuanhuai's heart tighten, the steel of Hanyang Iron Works was brittle and easy to break, which has always been a problem for him, but seeing Chen Moran like this, Sheng Xuanhuai, who has been in business for a long time, did not know what he wanted, and smiled in his heart, he also picked up the cup and drank the tea, as if he didn't care at all.

This kind of change made Sun Mingjiu on the side see it in his eyes, and said in his heart that the two of them didn't get down to business, but they faced each other first, which was boring and inconvenient to interject, so he also picked up the cup, and the three of them took the cup, which only surprised the servants in the house.

Drinking tea and consuming time, Chen Moran, who was a little bored, hummed a tune in his heart, he was not in a hurry, Sheng Xuanhuai was more anxious than him, then the Hanyang Iron Works would not start, and it would cost him tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.

When I was in college, I read several papers about the Hanyang Iron Works, and the most famous Changzhidong stove is convenient to make, and I have all mines in China. As a result, Daye's iron phosphorus content was too high for the furnaces shipped from England to be suitable, and the steel produced by the Hanyang Iron Works was brittle and broken, and could not be used for forging or casting, and the steel rails manufactured could not be used. The poor quality of steel, brittleness and breakage, which is naturally the heart disease of Hanyang Iron Works and Sheng Xuanhuai's heart disease.

And this heart disease, in history, should be four years later, after Li Weige went abroad for an investigation, he invited experts in Britain to test Daye's iron and Pingxiang's coal, and found out the reason, so that Hanyang Iron Works could be brought back to life.

A bit of an ancient atmosphere is permeated in the hall, the hands of the table clock in the hall are turning, one minute, two minutes ......, the tea in the cup is cold, and the water is exhausted, Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Chen Moran with a calm look, and he didn't know how many times the thought of "serving tea and sending guests" arose, but every time he stopped, Hanyang Iron Works was a piece of his heart.

Product quality is the lifeline of the enterprise, and after the steel made from the Hanyang factory was unqualified, Sheng Xuanhuai was determined to find out the crux of the problem. He couldn't figure out why the products refined by foreigners were of high quality, but those made by himself were not.

Now the young man in front of him is holding what he is looking for, and the appearance of this picture has made Sheng Xuanhuai, a figure who has been up and down in the business world for decades, only feel a sense of blockage.

At the beginning, Sun Mingjiu, who seemed to be watching the two of them fighting, was in a hurry, and kept glancing at Chen Moran, seeing Chen Moran ignoring him, he was so anxious that he almost didn't jump.

This is not an ordinary businessman, but he has the brand of Master Li, and he is still a second-class member of the court, and you can provoke this "peddler pawn".

The reason why Chen Moran ignored it was very simple, officials and businessmen like Sheng Xuanhuai, many times, they would rather give it to outsiders than to the countrymen, and only when they had the initiative could they induce him to agree to his conditions.

"Yes!"

Finally, after nearly half an hour of heart fighting, Sheng Xuanhuai took the initiative to break the silence.

"What are the test results?"

After realizing that he had the initiative, Chen smiled silently.

"My lord, Daye iron ore, the iron content is of the highest grade, up to sixty high, but the phosphorus content is too high!"

"Too high phosphorus!"

"Too high in phosphorus?"

Sheng Xuanhuai and Sun Mingjiu both looked surprised, but Chen Moran just nodded.

"My lord, in fact, the fundamental reason why Hanyang steel is brittle and easy to break is that the ore contains too much phosphorus, so in the process of smelting, it is natural to adopt the phosphorus removal method. When Zhang Zhidong set up the factory, he ignored such a key technical problem, and the furnaces used were all using the acid method, so that not only could not remove phosphorus, but the situation was worse. ”

Chen Moran said it easily, but it was this technical mistake that caused China's iron and steel industry to lose more than ten years of time, exhausted more than 10 million costs, and suffered extremely painful losses.

"That! However, how to get rid of this phosphorus! ”

This will Sheng Xuanhuai seems quite eager.

"It's very simple, abandon the acid surname converter, if you change to the alkali surname Martin furnace, you can smelt high-quality steel."

Simple! The solution is very simple, just change the stove. But when Sheng Xuanhuai heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Replacing a steelmaking furnace is easier said than done. The loss of Hanyang Iron Works over the years has already made Hanye Pingtai high. To get out of this predicament, there is no other way out than to expand production and expand sales. The Hanchang machine furnace is old and few, not to mention that the steel smelted is completely unmarketable, if you want to expand the market, you must change the machine furnace.

At present, however, the Hanyang Iron Works has no official funds, no commercial stocks, and no foreign debts. Now the fundamental problem of the ironworks has finally fallen on the silver, everything is false, and only silver is the most real thing.

Silver...... Thinking of this thing, Sheng Xuanhuai looked towards this "lame Hao Chen", and first invited foreign experts to test coal and iron, thinking that it was like himself a few years ago, I am afraid that he has been plotting against Han Yeping for a long time, and this son's financial resources are beyond his imagination, but his ambition is not small. If you lead him to add shares of Hanyang, I'm afraid that ...... This will Sheng Xuanhuai pay more attention to his own interests.

While he was frowning and thinking, Sheng Xuanhuai, who Chen Moran had been observing, saw that his expression was first relaxed, then tightened, and the look in his eyes when he occasionally looked at himself, so that he suddenly understood why Sheng Xuanhuai was like this.

Gain. It was Sheng Xuanhuai who ruined Han Yeping for his own selfishness. According to the historical development track, Sheng Xuanhuai used harsh conditions many times to develop Han Yeping, and even turned Han Yeping into a vassal loan, saying that his purpose was so sinister, didn't the shrewd Sheng Xuanhuai understand?

Of course he understood, but he helped the party to actively think of ways and ideas. His starting point was how to protect his huge family business from being sought by the Qing court, and Xinhai later borrowed many times to accept more stringent loan conditions, and in order to keep his family property, he did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house and hold foreign self-respect.

Yuan Shikai once thought about nationalizing Han Yeping, Sheng Xuanhuai resolutely opposed, so he couldn't wait to send a secret telegram to Fang, hoping to hand Han Yeping into the hands of Fang as soon as possible, and said that he was very "concerned" about Sheng Xuanhuai's health, and it was estimated that he had hemoptysis in lung disease, and he could only live five years in the future.

Therefore, we strive to finalize the loans one by one when Sheng Xuanhuai still has a breath. Sheng Xuanhuai, out of selfish interests, also threw himself into the trap step by step, so that Han Yeping fell into the debt and could not extricate himself, and finally was completely controlled by himself, under the leadership of himself, Han Yeping first stopped the furnace, and completely became the coke supply base of himself. Han Yeping, which cost tens of millions, was destroyed in his hands like this, and it was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that the Chinese political axe had to control Han Yeping again, and it was only after the end of the Anti-Japanese War that it was taken back by the political axe.

Since he is worried, then he will make everything clear, for Han Yeping's enterprise that has been filled with official habits from construction to order, employing people [***], using people and using people, and doing things that no one is not greedy, Chen Moran is not much interested, that is, he Zhang Zhidong and Sheng Xuanhuai can't cure Han Yeping's bloated [***], let alone him.

The reason why Chen Moran came here today is very simple, that is, he wanted Sheng Xuanhuai to drink the mouthful of financial poisoned milk in history, but the milk provider was him Chen Moran, not Benzheng Gold Bank. The reason for fighting with him in the previous place is because this person is cunning, and if he is not forced to do it, he will never accept his "advice".

"My lord, however, there is still a little financial resources to help him, if the adult is willing, he is willing to provide Han Zhiping with a loan of 8 million taels within three years!"

"Oh!"

Xu is Sheng Xuan's family is big, and his net worth is tens of millions, but when he hears this, he can't help but be surprised. And Sun Mingjiu looked at Chen Moran with an incredible look, he never thought that this Chen Cripple would be so rich, but he thought of providing 8 million taels within three years, and thought that he Chen Cripple had his own way of financing.

"I'm afraid, then, these eight million taels, people don't dare to take it lightly!"

"Obtain, obtain, but there is nothing else you need, adults only need to use Han Zhiping's pig iron and coke to repay!"
