But even so, Hu Weidong still feels that the money in his hand is not enough to spend, you must know that even the 12 million pounds (equivalent to 60 million US dollars) brought when he went abroad, the cash on hand reached 120 million US dollars at the most, this huge amount of money has exceeded the financial revenue of the Nanjing government for a quarter, but when it is spent, Hu Weidong still deeply feels that "the money is used when it is used

Just to get a group of high-end talents, including Tesla, Hu Weidong spent more than 15 million US dollars, and there will be continuous expenditures in the future, of which Tesla spends the most, but it is also worth the money, and the major backbone industries spend the most (including power, power generation, power transmission and transformation, as well as the production and maintenance of corresponding equipment, the investment required is greater than that of any department.) It was a big surprise that the power industry needed only $15 million to build a complete system.

It must be noted that Tesla's emergency plan for the explosion of permanent magnet generators has become of great practical significance after combining rare earth permanent magnet materials beyond the times, so Hu Weidong can mainly purchase small and medium-sized generators with an installed capacity of less than 3000 kilowatts and corresponding steam turbines and hydro turbines (Jishu reserves are the main, hydropower construction is slow, and it is not the focus for the time being. So in this economic crisis picked up a lot of bargains (in this era, even during the economic crisis, it is difficult for companies that can produce large equipment to go out of business, with small and medium-sized equipment as the main target, you can pick those bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy to start, the price will be much cheaper. However, he must additionally purchase the necessary equipment for rare earth mining, smelting, sorting and purification, etc., and the short-term investment has not been reduced, and Tesla's help Hu Weidong save money is mainly reflected in the targeted enhancement of procurement, thereby reducing waste

Oil production, oil refining, petrochemical industry and its upstream petroleum machinery manufacturing, the United States is the undisputed shijie first, so the relevant equipment Hu Weidong naturally gives priority to the purchase of the United States, and in order to develop and utilize the Nanyang Oilfield as soon as possible, this aspect must not only ensure the quality and category, but also the quantity can not be shortage. So the cost is staggering, and it even greatly exceeds the cost of electricity. It is worth mentioning that among the purchased equipment. The ratio of oil refining and petrochemical is much higher than that of oil production, because there is not enough crude oil and shale oil, coal oil and other tillers, and the surplus of crude oil is purely wasteful, and the difficulty of localization of oil production equipment is far less than that of oil refining and petrochemical equipment. In fact, Hu Weidong also hired some jishu personnel in the United States. Let these people develop the "double donkey head" oil extraction machine that gradually replaced the current main oil production machinery "kowtow machine" according to the design ideas he explained, and because Jishu is not very difficult, it was quickly successful and applied for a patent. The mining efficiency of the "double donkey" oil extractor is nearly twice as high as that of the "kowtow machine", while the energy consumption is almost half, and the advantages are obvious. However, due to the more expensive equipment, some supporting equipment must be replaced, those old oil wells may not be cost-effective to replace the "double donkey" oil production machine, especially in the case of having to pay patent fees for this, so the direct benefit of this patent in a short period of time is not very large, but China's current oil industry is almost a blank, but there is no such burden, so it can stand on a higher platform than those advanced countries at the beginning

In addition to this mainly self-use jishu. Hu Weidong also spent money to hire people in the United States to study some jishu and inventions that he knew better but China did not have the conditions to study. Although DuPont has a patent for nylon, they have not yet developed a method of industrial production, and they have only found nylon 66 (polyadipylhexanediamine), Hu Weidong asked researchers to engage in more comfortable nylon 6 (polycaprolactam), so there is no infringement problem. When nylon 6 solved the difficulties of industrial production in the following year. Nylon and its products (especially stockings) have made extremely rich profits, so that Zhongfu shares, which were originally just leather bag companies, have developed at an unbelievable speed. But to Hu Weidong's pity. Ford had to share 40% of the profits, but that couldn't be helped. If there is no big tree covered by Ford, even if Zhongfu International is a real American company, under the temptation of huge interests of more than a billion US dollars, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no big consortium to take risks, let alone just a Chinese-funded enterprise? …,

In addition to electricity and oil, steel and fertilizer are also the focus of Hu Weidong's introduction of equipment, but Hu Weidong is only a little bit of each category for the time being, first solve the problem of "have" and "no", in addition, unless the price is really attractive, he will not choose to buy in the United States, because most of the units of measurement used in the United States are American rather than metric, and they have to be changed after introduction, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also reduces accuracy.

It is also worth mentioning that Hu Weidong also bought a lot of pumpkin seeds and potato seeds in the United States, with the aim of rapidly increasing grain production in the Central Plains base areas. It should be known that the same is pumpkin, China's general is only a few catties to a dozen catties, dozens of catties is very large, and the pumpkin in the United States can generally grow to dozens of catties, the largest even more than a thousand catties, and the situation of potatoes is similar, we are generally more than a few taels or smaller, and it is not uncommon for American potatoes to be a few catties a little. Obviously, the yield of pumpkin and potato varieties in the United States is significantly higher than that of China, although the taste is worse, but during the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Henan were almost always under the threat of famine, and during the 1942 severe drought that starved 3 million people to death, so that the people in the base area are fed, or even just not starved to death is the primary task. Hu Weidong has always attached great importance to the construction of farmland and water conservancy in the base area, but after all, it takes a long time and the effect is slow, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, not only will the demand for military food continue to increase, but the influx of refugees will also be a matter of time.

In addition, Hu Weidong also purchased a large number of important industrial raw materials and strategic resources that could not be produced in China, among which a large amount of high-grade uranium purchased at a low price at the Scoop and US radium refineries (Note 1) will undoubtedly be of great help to China's future development of depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs and nuclear energy research

Note 1: The specific gravity of uranium and uranium compounds is generally very large, so it is easy to estimate the approximate grade (but not many people know this, and Zhou Gong has almost been deceived in history.) Hu Weidong bought the residue left after the radium refinery extracted radium, the price was unusually low, plus the one he bought later in Europe, a total of several hundred tons, containing more than 40 tons of uranium, but it only cost more than 10,000 US dollars, and by the way, it also delayed the pace of the development of the atomic bomb by the United States, which was really a big profit (to be continued).
