Chapter 163: Iron Kingdom (2)

"How so? What has your education department been doing for more than a year, and what are you HR departments doing who are responsible for recruiting jishu people? "It was very difficult for Wang Zhenyu to get the third floor of the administrative building to do it once, and as a result, the whole building heard his roar. The personnel of all departments were silent, and basically did not dare to speak, for fear of touching the mold.

It's no wonder that Wang Zhenyu is so angry, recently he himself feels that he is very smooth, whether politically or militarily, both the Kuomintang and the SS have determined the direction of development. The financial problems are about to be alleviated, but at this time, there are problems in the economic aspects that Wang Zhenyu has high hopes for.

Specifically, there is a problem with industrial construction, and Wang Zhenyu now finally understands what it means that things are not transferred by human will.

A large number of industrial projects planned in the second half of the first year of the Republic of China were not satisfactory after a year, so that Wang Zhenyu wanted to shoot all the relevant responsible persons. Now these unfortunate people are in the conference room on the third floor of the administration building, praying that the gods and Buddhas in the sky will bless them from the disaster.

Looking at the debriefing material in front of me, it's really bad.

The entire industrial construction jihua, in addition to the two million-ton cement plant progressed smoothly and completed the construction target half a year ahead of schedule, and the Rong brothers' Anjiang yarn factory also completed the overall construction, through the help of the Xiangxi Development Company, the problem of raw materials has also been effectively solved, it is expected that by 1914, the cement factory and the yarn factory can provide Wang Zhenyu with an annual return of up to 20 million silver dollars and 200 million Chinese yuan, and Wang Zhenyu himself knows in his heart that once the European war breaks out, I am afraid that this figure will automatically double without expanding production, and if I take back the customs in the future, this number will reach 50 million oceans, but it is estimated that it will not rely on this income when it really comes to that point.

The good news ends here, and the next is the steel mill project that Wang Zhenyu has high hopes for, which is really hurtful, the original Jihua has an annual output of one million tons, so that China's steel output suddenly surpassed Japan's. But when I got to the ground, I realized how easy it was to scold the Qing government for corruption and incompetence in later generations. Industrial development is a problem of supporting the construction of a system, and the construction of industry is like playing football, and it must abide by the basic laws of the development of things themselves, and many problems can not be solved by funds. Otherwise, with the fourth GDP of the Qing Dynasty, the weishenme could not become an industrial power through the Westernization Movement?

The most important thing to engage in industry is to rely on people, engineers and industrial workers with qualified jishu and experience. And these people need time to educate and cultivate, not automatically generated by a brave man under a lot of money to play a heavy reward.

But the officials of the Qing Dynasty are the same as the officials of the Football Association of later generations, oh I'm sorry, I said the opposite.

Anyway, they don't care about doing things, what kind of youth training, education, they won't bother to do this kind of thing that doesn't work, and they will pursue the finished product and the result. Well, they built the house, and then they were promoted and made a fortune, but the house was not inhabitable, weishenme, and the foundation was not dug.

Wang Zhenyu's Anjiang Iron and Steel Plant project and other projects that are a little more jishu, such as automobile manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, have all stalled. The steel project is okay, a large number of jishu backbones have been dug from the Hanyang Iron Works, but I'm sorry, the annual output over there turned out to be 40,000 tons, so with the Luxembourgers, 200,000 tons, it will be 200,000 tons. Wang Zhenyu zoned such a large piece of land and smashed so much money into it, but the production capacity did not even reach one-fifth of the original Jihua, to say that he had no intention of killing people, it would be nonsense. But thinking about the 200,000 tons in front of you is not bad, the lack of jishu personnel, and the supply of coal and iron cannot keep up. In this year's Second Revolution, Jiangxi was destroyed, the coal in Pingxiang could not be transported, and it was useless to transport more pig iron from Hanyang on his side; Besides, the problem of this jishu personnel, in fact, is also a problem left over from history, although he has set up a special vocational jishu school in Anjiang, but because of the lack of teachers, it can not play an effective role at all, and the current factory technicians are still taking the old road of the master with new apprentices. And not only Jishu school, but also its own nine-year compulsory education, Weishenme will repeatedly shrink into Zuihou's four-year compulsory education, and one of the main factors is the lack of teachers. Wang Zhenyu looked at the managers standing in front of him in a proper manner, and knew that he was a little wrong to blame them, after all, they also tried their best.

"I was a little angry just now, to you daoqian, I know you all did your best" Wang Zhenyu's daoqian made everyone look at him in shock.

"Look at it, I said you like to be scolded" Wang Zhenyu was anxious again.

"Marshal, there is a Luxembourger outside the door, claiming to be the consul of the Principality of Luxembourg in our Hankou, called Paul Phillips, saying that he has an urgent matter to ask to see you, and it seems that he is in a hurry." Wang Chenhao knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Phillips, a little impression, how many people are coming?" Wang Zhenyu asked.

Wang Chenhao immediately replied: "Just one, and I also brought a translator." ”

Wang Zhenyu looked at these people in the industrial sector and the education department, waved his hand: "I want to see a foreign devil here, later, I will talk to you again, if the problem of industrial development is not solved, next year this handsome will go to drink the northwest wind, you can think about it yourself......"

"Dear General, our country needs your help" Phillips was indeed the consul on duty, which was quite unprofessional, and he unconsciously betrayed his country in the first sentence......

"So, your dear uncle has agreed to bring the citizens of your country and all kinds of industries into my territory?" Wang Zhenyu's mood is very complicated now, after listening to the words of Phillips, a guy who has not been seen for more than half a year, he first doubts the authenticity of this matter, and secondly, he is thinking about how to place it and where to place it?

Phillips' next words dispelled his doubts: "I am joined by our Minister in Luxembourg and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of Health and Education of the Duchy, and Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, who is the sister of our Grand Duchess. As my dear Uncle Paul meant, he wants you to set aside a piece of land, preferably a city large enough for our subjects to settle in China. He is willing to provide a 5 million pound interest-free loan as a guarantee, and if this is a yellow matter, the 5 million will belong to you and will not have to be repaid, and if it does, my uncle wants you to use the money to build the infrastructure first. As for the relocation of Jihua and cooperation, it is not for me to discuss, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the ministers of the Principality will discuss it with you in detail. ”

In fact, Phillips was also very surprised along the way, he never thought that Wang Zhenyu, the Chinese warlord, would expand so quickly, and even after more than a month of crawling, they learned in Vietnam that they did not need to go to Shanghai to walk the Yangtze River, but could directly go up the river from Guangzhou along the beautiful right river to Laibin. The reason is that the damned warlord ** in Phillips's mouth had just started a war in Guangxi, and won the war in mid-October, gaining this province by the sea. Due to the short time of victory, Phillips and the others found that this road was a little difficult to walk when they arrived in Guangxi. According to Mr. Huang Xuchu, the secretary general of the provincial government in Guangxi, who was in charge of the reception, if it was really necessary to ride a horse-drawn carriage all the way to the territory of the passage to get on the train, it would take at least four or five days, and this was the result of the frenzied repair of the old post road by the engineering troops. Phillips had no choice but to ride his own horse and stand up for the princesses and ministers of the Principality, and God knows if the already grown Chinese warlord would still need the friendship of the Duchy of Luxembourg a year later.

Wang Zhenyu obviously still needs it, not to mention the issue of five million pounds as a deposit, if half of the 300,000 Luxembourgers can move over, it will be of great help to Wang Zhenyu, who has suffered from talent and labor.

You must know that Luxembourg has a large number of workers in the steel industry, a large number of educated talents in various industries, and more importantly, the problem of lack of talents in many basic industries for people's livelihood will also be solved. As for whether this will allow the Luxembourgers to control their own economic lifeline, it doesn't matter, Wang Zhenyu's calculation is very loud, the European war will be fought for at least four years, and he will use the way of employment to attract Luxembourgers to work in various industries in China, and then arrange Chinese apprentices to follow and learn, then when the war is over, a large number of Chinese technicians may be trained, and the number may be three to four times that of the Luxembourgers. Even its own government can hire Luxembourg employees to improve various systems, especially the law, this damn Qin Zhen has not been able to establish and implement the judicial system until now, and the judicial personnel sent down in the early stage, according to Zhou Li's report, have basically been corroded by the local tycoons with sugar-coated shells.

Then the most attractive point for Wang Zhenyu is the relocation of the entire Luxembourg steel industry and military industry led by Albert Company. The current Anjiang Military Factory is in charge of its own big brother, and the output is almost the best in China, but unfortunately, the products are limited to copying, and there is no innovation at all. In this way, in the future battle for national unification, the SS that it had just created was estimated to have only a quantitative advantage in weapons and equipment, but no qualitative advantage.

The more he thought about the benefits, Wang Zhenyu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, but a more realistic question was in front of him, where should he put these Luxembourgers who were not far away, not to the more powerful United States and Japan, but chose to settle in China that was still in turmoil?

The Luxembourger's abacus, as soon as Phillips opened his mouth, Wang Zhenyu was clear, it was nothing more than a desire to reduce the cost of immigration, and at the same time obtain sufficient coal and iron resources to continue to make money, after all, the kingdom's 300,000 subjects depended on the steel industry for their survival.

Wang Zhenyu stood up and walked to the wall in Phillips's surprised eyes, and the alert adjutant Wang Chenhao immediately opened the curtain covering the wall, and then handed the wooden pole to Wang Zhenyu in reverse.

Wang Zhenyu took the wooden pole and gently touched the center of the map of the jurisdiction displayed in front of him: "My dear friend, this is it, Liuzhou ......"
