The aftermath of the third volume 83 eighty percent? Made in Medan!

In general, the economy of the Republic of China continued to develop after World War I. While the rural economy is gradually collapsing, coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin are developing rapidly.

The imbalance between urban and rural areas, as well as the development of industry, agriculture, and services, has become a part of the world market and has been subject to more and more foreign plundering and invasion, and on the other hand, it has also caused the abnormal development of large coastal cities.

The commercial real estate project of Meihua Road led by Meihua Company is aimed at the booming real estate industry in Guangzhou. Although the real estate industry cannot directly create labor value, it can drive the development of related industries, such as the building materials industry and the steel industry.

Unfortunately, Guangdong is not suitable for the development of heavy industry and lacks high-quality iron ore, although Situ Nan considered investing in steel mills in Guangdong, but finally gave up.

Guangdong is also a large steel consuming province, and Meihua Company is not willing to give up this market. The freight of importing steel from the United States is expensive, so Situ Nan still hopes to invest in the steel industry close to the Chinese market.

His first choice was the Hanyang Iron Works in Hankou, but unfortunately, from the information obtained from the investigation, the situation of the Hanyang Iron Works was not optimistic, and it was already a Japanese dish!

Long before Xinhai, the Japanese acquired a stake in the Hanyang Iron Works. The First World War was a godsend for Japan's expansion in China, and the dead Yuan Datou and the Beiyang government that inherited his mantle were unable to sustain it.

In this case, despite the short-lived glory of World War I, the Hanyang Iron Works, which had set a record of 190,000 tons of pig iron and 6,000 tons of steel, fell into the conspiracy of the Japanese after a flash in the pan and was eaten to death by the Japanese.

At present, the Hanyang Iron Works has completely become a leading role in the Japanese iron and steel industry, except for the production of pig iron and the provision of iron ore, there is no spare energy to carry out technological upgrades, that is to say, the Hanyang Iron Works cannot make steel, and it has to pay for its own martial arts.

The steel backbone that the Chinese were once proud of has not only since become a forbidden force for the Japanese.

It's a shame!

Well, the Japanese took most of the shares of the Hanyang Iron Works and restricted the development of the Hanyang Iron Works with contracts, and every year most of the pig iron and iron ore sand produced by the Hanyang Iron Works were shipped to Japan and became the raw materials for the Hachiman Iron Works, and finally became the steel produced by the Japanese!

The machines and weapons made of steel by the Japanese changed hands and sold to China, and the profits were ten times and a hundred times the profit between one entry and one exit.

Tongguò industrial scissors continue to plunder China's resources, seize the Chinese market, and advance by stepping on China's corpse. With the rapid development of Japan's heavy industry after World War I, the exploitation and plundering of China will gradually deepen.

After dominating the Northeast market, Japan is competing with British capital in North China, and then step by step south, across the Yangtze River, to carve up the Chinese market with British and American capital.

The great powers are not a good thing, and Situ Nan thinks that he is not a very good person, but he knows that only the Japanese cannot be allowed to succeed.

Situ Nan felt that the Japanese should not be cheapened by the Hanyang Iron Works, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Hearing that some of the Chinese shareholders of the Hanyang Iron Works were still fighting, Situ Nan was going to send someone to secretly contact the Chinese shareholders and try to buy back some shares of the Hanyang Iron Works from them.

I just don't know if this works in a razing way?

Well, if the United States and China do not appear in the face of Yi, it is estimated that they will not be able to fight the Japanese.

As for the debt owed by the Hanyang Iron Works to the Japanese, it is not difficult to deal with. As long as Meihua can call the shots, Situ Nan doesn't mind paying a little price to let the Japanese get out, and by the way, he will also clean up the lackeys of the Japanese.

"Yimin, you pay attention to this after I leave! Try to get the ironworks back! Situ Nan told Lin Yimin.

"Young Master, this is not necessary, right? We also have our own steel mill, and there is enough steel in Manila, so why bother fighting for a rotten shell? ”

Lin Yimin was a little unhappy when he heard Situ Nan's idea of attacking Hanyang Iron Works.

In his opinion, the technical equipment of Hanyang Iron Works is backward, and it is not worth the hard work to buy it, so it is better to invest in a new factory.

"It's not much worth it. But I just don't like the devil! If the scrap factory falls into our hands, at least we can do some technological upgrades or something, and we may not make any money, but we can leave a little industry for the country in the future.

If Japan continues to toss, in a few years, I don't think the factory will even have scrap iron. If you look at this country, there is no decent steel industry, and it is worth spending some money to keep it. Situ Nan sighed with emotion and looked at Lin Yimin with a firm face.

Although Situ Nan is not optimistic that he can beat the devil's aircraft cannon with hundreds of thousands of Hanyang-made, at least, the number of Hanyang-made is still enough.

"Alright! I'm not going to let the Japanese get their way. Lin Yimin said.

I thought: Hubei is the territory of the direct family, and the direct warlords have a close relationship with British and American capital, if they are willing to lose money to collect the Hanyang Iron Works, it is estimated that the direct warlords and the power of the United States will also be somewhat sure to recapture the Hanyang Iron Works from the Japanese.

In fact, don't the Japanese just want to get the raw materials for the iron works? This is definitely not lacking in Meihua Company.

Whether from the Americas, Australia, or even Nanyang, where iron ore resources are relatively sparse, Meihua Company can obtain a large amount of high-quality iron ore, and has also developed a certain iron and steel industry.

Long before He Wenxiu and other armed forces entered Nanyang, Situ Nan invested in a steel plant in Manila, Philippines, under the name of the American Chinese Company.

The steel plant, called Manila Steel Plant, is wholly owned by the Meihua Company, and after the fertilization of World War I, the annual output reached 100,000 tons, including 10,000 tons of steel.

Although the amount is smaller, the technology comes from the Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company, and through the Guò steel plant, the Meihua Company has mastered a lot of steel technology.

Some outstanding talents are selected from the Manila steel plant, and then sent to the United States, Germany, France and other steel companies with business in the United States and China companies to train for the future.

At present, the United States and China are building a large number of iron products in Sumatra, building ports, opening oil fields, shipyards, tin mining, growing rubber, logging and so on.

Except for some special high-quality steel products to be imported from the United States, the steel supplies under the US-China consortium are also prioritized for purchasing from the Manila steel plant.

Somewhat troublesomely, the Manila steel plant's output could not fully supply as many iron products, so the company had to increase its investment in the Manila steel plant.

Taking advantage of the post-war upgrade of the U.S. steel industry, the U.S. Chinese Company procured a 200,000-ton steel production line from Bethlehem.

At the same time, he secretly bought a set of special steel production lines from Germany, trying to absorb German technology and produce some key parts of machine equipment.

For example, the submarine base in the outer harbor of Medan requires the Manila steel plant to generate some parts that are not commonly used.

Although Situ Nan is in Guangzhou, he is well aware of both the William Consortium in the United States and the Nanyang Zhi Gong Party.

According to his plan, the Manila steel plant aims to expand its production capacity to 300,000 tons within three years.

For the sake of secrecy, the Manila steel plant has not disclosed its steel output, and some figures released to the public have judged the output of the Manila steel plant to be about 40,000 or 50,000 tons.

This is completely negligible for the huge steel production in the United States. Moreover, in the American colonies, the American Chinese Company had a close relationship with the Philippine Governor-General's Office, so it was not worried about foreign interference.

Due to the self-consumption of products, the Manila Iron and Steel Plant hardly made money, but absorbed a large amount of money from Meihua every year, so Lin Yimin thought that Situ Nan's intervention in the Hanyang Iron Works would not outweigh the losses.

At the same time, in order to turn steel into various machine components, Meihua invested in a Meihua metal company in Medan, specializing in machinery manufacturing, trying to produce some relatively bulky large mining machines and ship parts.

Undoubtedly, all the technical equipment of Meihua Metal Company was imported from the United States. In order to strengthen the armament, the Meihua Metal Company also secretly set up an arsenal to produce rifles, bullets, and mortars.

"Young master, this gun was sent by Nanyang! It is said that it has been made in Medan, and it has been successful. Lin Yimin excitedly handed a violin box to Situ Nan.

This is a rifle produced by the secret arsenal of the Medan Meihua Metal Company under the guidance of a German technician, and He Wenxiu knew that Situ Nan liked to collect this gun, so he sent someone to send it to Guangzhou secretly.

"Oh? Let me try! Situ Nan walked quickly to the result box, opened it and saw that it was full of parts.

Situ Nan assembled the parts in quantities, and immediately turned them into a rifle that was always brand new.

"Mauser 98! Looks good! Situ Nan stroked the barrel of the roasted blue gun, with some liking in his heart, and pulled the trigger to make an aiming motion.

Then I put a 2.5x scope on it, tried it, and could almost see the street corner a kilometer away from the window.

"This Zeiss lens is also okay, I guess it was also made by a German technician, right? I didn't expect Nanyang to really get a lot of good things from the Germans. Situ Nan praised.

The Medan is a little rough, naturally not as good as the original German products, but it is better than the Hanyang made by the Japanese.

"It is said that the performance has reached half of the German goods, and it is said that it can be increased to about 8% of the German goods." Lin Yimin said.

"8 percent?" Situ Nan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes! I heard that it is mainly a steel problem, and the quality of the barrels generated by our steel mill in Manila is not stable, 8 achievements are good! Lin Yimin explained.

It's remarkable that a product can be made more really.

The technology of Meihua's steel plant in Manila is much better than that of the Hanyang factory, so Lin Yimin looks down on Hanyang.

"Alright! Eight achievements are eighty percent! That guy Hans really contributed a lot this time, and the next time I see him, I'll have to thank him. ”

Situ Nan nodded. He and Lin Yimin continued to discuss the topic of real estate projects in Guangzhou.
