Chapter 196: Plan Ahead
"Big brother, what about the industrial aspect? Are they also powerful? Wang Zhenyu still turned his mind back, industry is what he is most concerned about at the moment, after all, the outbreak of the European war, the original half-dead industry will soon become the most profitable industry. Therefore, although Liu Hongsheng was very unhappy, Wang Zhenyu still pressed him to engage in industry, and even half of the tobacco dividends in the second half of 1913 were smashed by Wang Zhenyu to the construction and development of Hongsheng Company's industrial projects, which was 10 million. In contrast, the financial support for the China Enterprise Bank project is a bit insufficient, and it is entirely Liu Hongsheng's capital operation, and Wang Zhenyu only provides business support.
Liu Hongsheng said angrily: "Matches, cement, plush textiles, there are only these three that have been established so far, I don't know what you think, Wenzheng, I insist that I set the production capacity so high, the market is not so big at all." Moreover, as far as I know, the Xiangxi Development Company, which is managed by your father-in-law, has also built a cement plant and a match factory in Anjiang, of which the maximum production capacity of the two cement plants in Jingzhou and Anjiang is about 2 million tons, and 80 percent of the construction has now been completed. The production capacity of the yarn factory built by the Rong brothers in Anjiang has automatically doubled the production capacity of cotton yarn in our country. I just calculated, just our Hongsheng company is worth almost three million, I feel a lot of pressure now, can you reduce the output? ”
Wang Zhenyu shook his head gently: "Big brother, you really have to believe me in this matter once, no matter how much you press, you must insist on pressing it." And according to my estimates, at most one year, this product will be sold out, and the price will be twice as high as the current market price, so don't worry, big brother, I have a plan in my heart. If your funds are at risk of being disconnected, you can withdraw them from my account at Warby Bank. Don't be afraid, I'm in all things! ”
Liu Hongsheng had no choice but to sigh and say, "Wenzheng, this is not doing things according to the rules of doing business." Anyway, the eldest brother believes in you, just listen to you. ”
Du Yuesheng also raised the red wine glass in his hand and said: "Big brother, we can have today thanks to the third brother, not to mention the backlog of three million, what about thirty million, come, do this glass." ”
Liu Hongsheng raised his wine glass with a wry smile and toasted......
Wang Zhenyu saw that the lights of the Yuanjiang Wharf in Anjiang City were already late at night on May 22, and at this moment his mood became very excited, he finally came back from Beijing without danger, and he also successfully laid his own intelligence network in Beijing, and then Lao Yuan let himself go to Beijing himself will not go. There were two additional gains, one was to get back a full 130 million oceans from the old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the people (in fact, himself). Please note that this is not the commercially available one, but the standard customs dollar. That's 150 million silver dollars in circulation. With these silver dollars as a guarantee, he can issue an additional 1.5 billion Chinese dollars......
Wang Zhenyu walked off the Yuanjiang, and a scene that surprised him extremely appeared. The civil and military officials of Hunan and Guizhou, including Ye Zuwen, Yang Wangui and others, as well as the high-level leaders of the National Socialist Party, including Chen Shao, Zeng Qi, Li Buyi, and Chen Gongbo, stood neatly on the Yuanjiang Grand Wharf and respectfully shouted to themselves: "Waiting for the return of the marshal!" ”
This is an attitude, a very clear attitude, the attitude of the entire Xianggui Group is still extremely loyal to itself, and this attitude makes Wang Zhenyu full of confidence in himself and the future of China.
Although the dock was densely packed with officials who greeted him, the first person to come up and hug him was his wife Ye Ziwen. Before Wang Zhenyu could sigh, he saw the tears on Ye Ziwen's angelic face, which had worried this little ancestor for half a year, and even reduced the number of people.
Wang Zhenyu hung Ye Ziwen's nose with a smile, wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, silly child, aren't I coming back?" ”
When Ye Ziwen heard this, she cried even more, and sobbed while crying: "Next time, no matter where you go, I will go with you, don't want to leave me and the child." ”
Wang Zhenyu felt very warm in his heart when he heard this, and at the same time he was ashamed. On the one hand, the wife at home is waiting, and on the other hand, he was happy when he was in Beijing, but now Zhao Yuting also has goods in her stomach, and she still doesn't know how to explain to Ye Ziwen, the little ancestor, along the way? Alas, annoying.
"What about dedication?" Wang Zhenyu hurriedly shook his head and changed the topic and asked.
Ye Ziwen wiped her tears and said: "My son is still young, he has already slept, and the wind is strong by the river, so I didn't bring him here." ”
Wang Zhenyu nodded and said: "Let's go, don't stand, Wang has thanked me here, everyone will go back early tonight, and I will talk to everyone tomorrow morning." As for now, go back to your own home, find your own mother, and disperse! ”
Everyone laughed and left. On the deck of the Yuanjiang, Zhao Yuting watched from a distance the scene of Wang Zhenyu helping Ye Ziwen to get into the car, and felt sad for a while. I saw her quietly touching her belly, which had not bulged for two months, and said: "Baby, don't worry, my mother will definitely fight for a bright future for you, because your father is Wang Zhenyu." ”
Nothing to say all night......
Early the next morning, the official residence that had been renamed the Dashuaifu was immediately crowded, due to the development of the economy, more and more Ford cars in Anjiang, according to the latest statistics, has reached the scale of more than 460 vehicles, the city has surpassed Shanghai to become Ford's largest market in Asia. For this reason, Ford has also set up a special branch here for sales and maintenance.
However, at least 300 of the 460 vehicles were procured by the government, and this is not the entire Chenyuan Avenue full of cars that belong to the civil and military officials who will be summoned by Wang Zhenyu today.
The first person to be summoned by Wang Zhenyu was naturally his father-in-law Ye Zuwen, and no one dared to steal the limelight......
"In the first half of 1914, the Xiangxi Development Company, a subsidiary of the Xianggui Development Group, completed an industrial investment of 200 million yuan, involving ten fields such as electricity, clothing, bed sheets, bicycles, military industry, towels, soap, matches, and cement. Industrial production capacity has completed 75% of the growth rate of Jihua, and this year's task is expected to be exceeded. The subsidiaries of Hunan Development Company generated a total sales of 1.1 billion yuan, of which 300 million yuan were profits. The construction of the Xiangxi railway is expected to be completed in April next year, and the railways currently under construction are the Luyang to Fenghuang and Luyang to Chenzhou railways. The first half of this year was also a bumper harvest in the field of commercial circulation, generating a profit of 200 million yuan. In addition to shareholders, it directly generates 200 million yuan in taxes for the local government of Hunan and Guangxi......"
Wang Zhenyu propped his chin and listened to his father-in-law while holding this handwritten data, humming from time to time, but did not express his opinion.
Ye Zuwen took a sip of tea and continued: "The progress on the side of the Guangxi Development Corporation is also going well, especially with the help of the Luxembourgers, their first project, the Liuzhou Iron and Steel Plant, has been completed at the most astonishing speed. The railway from Liuzhou to the passage, to Laibin and to Luzhai was also urgently paved, but there were some production accidents and nearly 100 casualties. However, the issue of compensation has been implemented, and Laibin Coal Mine and Luzhai Iron Mine have begun to be mined. Our Jihua is Liuzhou Iron and Steel Plant officially put into operation in October this year, with an annual output of one million tons of steel. We are also building the railway to Fangchenggang, and this section of the terrain is relatively flat and progressing relatively smoothly. But Wenzheng, this annual output of one million tons of steel, in addition to our own construction and use, is it used up? Once the backlog is over, our financial pressure will be very great. As you know, we are engaged in modernization now, and there are many places where we can use money. ”
Wang Zhenyu is the second time to hear people say that the product backlog problem, in fact, it is not only steel, when the Rong brothers were deceived to come to Anjiang to open a factory, Wang Zhenyu asked Ye Zuwen to sign an agreement with them, all products that cannot be sold, as long as they are qualified, will be eaten by the development company according to the market price. This has ensured that many factories have always maintained their capacity at the highest level and have begun to expand themselves.
The Xiangxi Development Company only has a total of 1 billion yuan of plates, and it is engaged in urban construction, railway construction, and industrial development, and it has long run out of money, and the early military and political expenditures are also paid from this plate. If it weren't for Wang Zhenyu's overissuance of one billion Chinese dollars, the situation would have gone wrong a long time ago. And this time, Wang Zhenyu Jihua exchanged another 2.1 billion Chinese yuan, such a large sum, Ye Zuwen was naturally worried.
Wang Zhenyu seemed to guess Ye Zuwen's thoughts: "Father, I brought back 2.1 billion this time, but you don't have to worry about this money, I will give you a maximum of 500 million as a reserve for the purchase of overstock." I'll throw a lot of the rest into the youth army, and the chaos in the world has just begun. ”
When Ye Zuwen heard his son-in-law's words, he immediately became dumbfounded, did his son-in-law want to fight President Yuan?
Seriously, Ye Zuwen is really not optimistic about his son-in-law's side, after all, the performance of the Beiyang Army in the Second Revolution is very amazing, and the Southern People's Army claims to be 200,000, but it was beaten in less than two months, and it was defeated.
Wang Zhenyu didn't say much, but said: "Let's talk about the situation of Luxembourgers in Liuzhou!" ”
Ye Zuwen then retracted his thoughts, flipped through the information he carried with him, and said: "Due to the increasing tension in Europe, at present, almost 150,000 people in the Principality of Luxembourg have moved to Guangxi, of which 120,000 live in Liuzhou, in the past six months, we have mobilized a large number of farmers to participate in the construction of Liuzhou, to be honest, the city of Luxembourgers is very beautiful, and the speed is also very fast. At present, their employment problem has not been effectively solved, but there is no problem with food and housing. It is expected that by September this year, almost 100,000 Luxembourgers will be employed......"
