Chapter 292 Ownership of the Iron and Steel Plant
When the accumulation of capital reaches a certain level, it will naturally develop to the high-end, relying on making clothes and grinding flour, it will never become a huge consortium, and it must be centered on heavy industry in order to support the scene.
Zhang Tinglan has been instilling new ideas in these businessmen, so that they can focus on the long-term, from the point of view of the heart, the effect is still very good, these businessmen of the industrial group have been gearing up and ready to do a big job.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be honest, this time we got a batch of machines from Russia, and we can set up a batch of factories. However, heavy industry is different from light industry, the investment is large, the return cycle is long, everyone may be very rich, but want to bear such a large investment, it is still very difficult, so I will prepare to build the factory, and the need for the cost, make a list, everyone take a look, compare their own strength, you can several people join forces to set up a factory, you can also borrow from Fengtian Bank, but there is a premise, that is, the government should rely on the machine, occupy 30% of the shares, usually send people to supervise everyone's operation! ”
Zhang Tinglan worked hard to get a large number of machines from Russia, and worked hard, which was already regarded as the seed of Fengtian's industrialization, how could he be completely assured and boldly handed over to these merchants, and the strength of heavy industry is closely related to the military industry, so it is necessary to maintain a strong control over these enterprises.
Otherwise, once these businessmen have problems in their operations, wouldn't they have wasted Zhang Tinglan's hard work! This is not the future of factories everywhere, it doesn't matter if one or two go bankrupt, this is the Republic of China, every factory is extremely important, and there must be no mistakes.
In fact, at first, Zhang Tinglan wanted to turn all the factories into the ownership of the government and the army, and adopt completely militarized management, but later he considered that the investment was too large and completely handed over to the government. Without a professional businessman in charge, it is easy to lose efficiency, which is also a loss for Mukden.
And once this happens, it is still a constraint on the next industrial development, so Zhang Tinglan chose a method of shareholding influence, 30 percent is just an average, and among the most important factories, such as steel mills, the proportion of shares must be increased to 45 percent, so as to ensure a relative controlling power.
These businessmen present were actually willing to cooperate with them. After all, with Zhang Tinglan dragging behind, they have a bottom in their business, and they don't have to be afraid of risks.
Everyone is carefully reading the list to find the items that interest them and are within their capabilities. The most important of these factories is the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. This is also the core of the core, there is no steel. There is no way to talk about industrialization.
In addition to Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. There is also the Jixi Coal Mine, the Jilin Power Plant, a machine manufacturing plant to be built in Mukden, and a metallurgical factory in Changchun.
These are the main large factories, and there are also a number of small factories that mainly produce some supporting parts. Such as cutters, nuts, wrenches, etc., in addition to diesel engine factories, ash factories, bicycle factories. Nail factories, there are a lot of lists.
In fact, the production of bicycles is not a heavy industry, the reason why Zhang Tinglan wants to get a bicycle factory, is also a military consideration, bicycles are much stronger than human load-bearing capacity, when necessary, can be used as a motor tool, especially in the Northeast Plain, when the bicycle is necessary, it can play a great role.
And the cost of bicycles is much cheaper than war horses, horses have to eat forage every day, a war horse is almost equivalent to the consumption of two soldiers, and bicycles don't have to worry at all, as long as they have a large number of bicycles, Zhang Tinglan is ready to promote them in the Feng army, so that everyone can ride.
These businessmen were still watching, and Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan found Zhang Tinglan together.
"Zhang Shao, we used to mainly run a business and never run a factory, but we can't lag behind, and now that we have some capital in hand, we are ready to enter heavy industry."
"Of course I'm very supportive, but I don't know what project you two have chosen?"
"Iron and steel plant, we are going to take down the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, don't dare to say anything else, now we can raise three million funds, and then invest one after another, we can come up with five million funds within a year, and then through bank loans, we can definitely run the factory!"
Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan were the first to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan, and in the past two years, their worth has doubled, especially after meddling in the smuggling trade, the capital is even more abundant, one mouth is five million, not to mention the businessmen of Fengtian, even Shanghai and other places may not have such a big hand, which shows that they are determined to win.
"I have different opinions, to run a factory can not only rely on strong capital, but also have new ideas, I also want to undertake this Anshan Iron and Steel Plant!"
Just when Zhang Tinglan was about to nod, suddenly a young man walked over quickly, he was in his early twenties, very delicate, but one sleeve was empty, and one arm was gone. But he didn't have any decadence on his body, but from the inside out, wrapped in a ball of spirit, he came to Zhang Tinglan, raised his hand and gave a military salute.
"Old sir, Xia Han, a soldier of the second regiment of the former Independent Brigade, salutes you!"
Zhang Tinglan looked at this young man, and seemed to have a little impression that this was his old subordinate, so he also showed a smile on his face, patted Xia Han's shoulder, and then said with great emotion: "I still remember you, you fought very bravely, and I approved your departure from the army." The last time you deceived the Japanese and fooled them with scrap copper and rotten iron, you also made a great contribution, you must know that this incident created an excuse for us to drive away Meng Enyuan, which is of great significance to the development of the Feng army. Now that I'm in the industrial regiment again, it seems that the business is doing well, and my soldiers are doing well everywhere! ”
Xia Han was also very moved when he heard that Zhang Tinglan remembered everything clearly, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "It's all up to the old chief's cultivation, I lost an arm at the beginning, I thought this life was over, it was you who helped arrange me to Xingye Trading Company, how could I have today." Since the last operation, with the little money I have, I have opened a machine repair shop, which has now expanded several times in size. ”
"The idea is good, Fengtian has established a lot of factories and some machines, but there are no maintenance factories yet, everything has to rely on foreigners, the cost is too high, it will definitely not work, you have found the right business opportunity!"
"Old sir, in fact, the current maintenance factory also mainly refers to foreign technicians!" Xia Han blushed a little, lowered his voice, and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Old sir, I kidnapped two senior technicians in Russia, brought them back to China, and let these two guys work for me, if it weren't for them, my repair shop wouldn't be able to do it, you won't hold me accountable, right?" ”
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, with a pleased smile on his face, Xia Han is indeed a bit bold, and he is also coaxing and deceiving, and he has made a lot of Russian technicians, but every time he plans carefully and arranges everything before he dares to do it.
This Xia Han relied on his own ability, and he kidnapped two technicians over, this courage is indeed a bit big, but Zhang Tinglan appreciates it very much, in this era, any successful entrepreneur is bold, and there is a lot of blood, take Rockefeller, Morgan and other consortia as an example, at the beginning of their business, they also did all the bad things, specializing in some unfair competition, but they developed up, and they pretended to be dogs.
"Forget it, but Russia is going to mess up now, and those two technicians might thank you!" Zhang Tinglan said: "You are ready to grab the right to undertake the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant." ”
"That's right!" Xia Han's eyes showed a determined look, and he said: "Old sir, during this time, I have traveled to many places, and even went to Japan once, and inspected the situation of many factories. I think if we want to build our own steel plant, the first thing we have to face is the pressure of the Japanese, they will definitely try their best to sabotage, so I think to run a factory, not only have strong financial resources, but also have a tenacious will, dare to work hard, but also have a modern business philosophy, in these two aspects, I think it is better than Mr. Liu and Mr. Qiao, the right to undertake the steel plant, should be handed over to me! ”
Xia Han came out and inserted a lever, which caught Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan, who were originally full of confidence, a little unprepared, they set up a factory, the most they considered was the issue of investment, how to compete, how to fight a bloody way under heavy pressure, it was indeed something they did not consider, and before that, they had no experience in running a factory, which was also a major weakness.
Xia Han seized their weakness and attacked: "Old sir, after I established the maintenance plant, the next step is to plan to develop into a machine manufacturing factory, if I take the steel plant again, a complete chain can be formed." And for this reason, I also traveled to the Beijing-Tianjin area several times and contacted several overseas students, all of whom were Japanese students studying industrial things. It's just that we don't have a place in our country, and these people can't just find jobs like those who dance and write, and they are all ready to work in Japan. ”
In Xia Han's words, a key information was revealed, China is extremely short of science and engineering talents, but there is no room for them to display their talents in China, many international students are interested in serving the country, but there is no way, zuihou everyone has to live, so they have to work for the Japanese to make a living, many Japanese enterprises, there are Chinese jishu workers.
This has also become a tragedy in Chinese society, on the one hand, there is an extreme shortage of talents, on the other hand, there is a limited number of talents are still lost, once caught in this vicious circle, the country really has no hope.
"Xia Han, you did the right thing, I will immediately set out to establish a special entrepreneurial support fund to try to retain our talents!"
Zhang Tinglan said this, looked at Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan, and said with a smile: "I don't think you have to compete, just join hands to set up this steel plant, you two are shareholders, responsible for paying money, Xia Han is the general manager, responsible for specific operations, Anshan Iron and Steel Plant will continue to expand in the future, and it is not a family or two can eat, what do you think?"
