With the passage of time, the turnover of Li's industrial base continued to increase, and the vaults were filled with gold and silver one after another.

"A reinforced concrete structure with a thickness of one meter, there is no need to worry about the theft of the vault, the vault with a length of one hundred and fifty meters, a width of one hundred meters, and a height of ten meters should be enough.

After getting some machinery and equipment from the modern world, Li Yunfeng selected more than 300 people from the factory affairs department and personally trained them for more than two weeks, more than 300 workers took up their posts one after another, and more than a dozen factories entered production in turn.

"The number of workers is too small, and the capacity of more than 30 factories has only reached 10 to 30 percent."

Let the security department send people to the southwest and northwest regions to recruit 5,000 young people back. After Li Yunfeng cleaned up, he took ten soldiers from the First Special Operations Regiment, followed Yu Dakai in a zombie suit, and went straight to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Three days ago, Li Hongzhang sent someone to send 200,000 oceans, but because he was busy producing immortal powder, he didn't leave immediately.

"Mr. Shandy, do you still have a bicycle?" Yu Dakai, who was riding a horse, asked expectantly.

"One hundred thousand oceans, how much do you want?" Li Yunfeng asked rhetorically, in order to facilitate the journey and not cause too much trouble, he got eleven titanium alloy bicycles from modern times, and because the technology content was too high, he deliberately offered 100,000 oceans.

Yu Da Kai was speechless, how many people can afford a bicycle for 100,000 oceans, and how many people are willing to buy it? Seeing that the other party didn't want to sell, he had to give up the idea of buying a bicycle, 100,000 oceans is not a small amount.

More than 100 officers and soldiers accompanied him to protect him, and the bandits along the way fled in despair, not giving Li Yunfeng the slightest chance to test the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is located in Shanghai, and Li's Industrial Base is located in Jiaxing, both of which are only more than 100 kilometers away.

After traveling more than 30 kilometers in a day, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, everyone successfully arrived in Shanghai.

"Lord Yu, Lord Zhongtang is at Paramount Gate, let you go directly." An officer and soldier ran over and said.

"Mr. Shangdi, Lord Zhongtang is picking up the wind and washing dust for you at Paramount Gate, you see?" Yu Dakai asked with a smile.

"Please lead the way in front of you." Li Yunfeng said.

Knowing that the boss of the Li Industrial Base was an earl of the Great Eagle Empire, and those foreigners in Zhili were particularly fond of drinking parties, Li Hongzhang specially chartered Paramount and dug into his heart to prepare a drinking party.

The people invited to the reception were not only the dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and celebrities, and stunning courtesans in Huhai and its vicinity, but also those who had the power or wealth of foreigners and widows, and those who were idle were not invited.

"Mr. Shandy has arrived!" Yu Dakai walked into Paramount and shouted loudly.

"Dakai?" An old man walked over quickly, his eyes signaling.

"My lord, this is Mr. Shandy." After Yu Dakai finished speaking, he introduced: "Mr. Shangdi, this is Lord Zhongtang. ”

"I've seen Mr. Shandy." Li Hongzhang called out politely.

"I've seen Nakado-sama." Li Yunfeng was in a very complicated mood, and stretched out his hand calmly.

Li Hongzhang hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it, and then said, "Mr. Shangdi, this reception is specially prepared for you. ”

"Nakado-sama bothered." Li Yunfeng said casually.

Li Hongzhang said a few words, walked to the stage, and spoke into the microphone for a while.

The music sounded, and a stunning singer came to the stage to sing, dance, and drink, as for the body that foreigners are keen on, it has not yet become popular abroad, let alone the late Qing Dynasty.

"Mr. Shangdi, how do you plan to renovate the steel mill of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?" Li Hongzhang put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.

"As far as I know, the steel mill under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhongtang can't smelt ten tons of steel a year." Li Yunfeng said.

"What Mr. Shandy said is very true, I don't know what to do?" Li Hongzhang nodded.

"The equipment of the steelmaking plant is all eliminated from abroad, which is already very backward, and you are not familiar with it, but as long as the open-hearth steelmaking is transformed into converter steelmaking, the production capacity can be increased at least tenfold." Li Yunfeng said.

"A tenfold increase in annual production, isn't it just a hundred tons?" Li Hongzhang asked depressedly.

"The steelmaking plant of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has an annual production capacity of 500 tons, and most of the production capacity is wasted, and it is absolutely no problem to transform the open-hearth steelmaking of the steelmaking plant into converter steelmaking, with an annual output of 5,000 tons of steel." Li Yunfeng said.

"Mr. Shangdi, how much money is needed to transform open-hearth steelmaking into converter steelmaking?" Li Hongzhang asked worriedly.

Li Yunfeng pretended to calculate, and then said: "It will take two million oceans to calculate." ”

"Mr. Shandy, do you really want so much?" Li Hongzhang asked in surprise.

"Lord Nakado, the converter steelmaking method is the most advanced thing at present, a steelmaking plant with an annual output of 5,000 tons of steel, do you know what it means?" Li Yunfeng said with a disdainful expression.

Li Hongzhang was stunned, he hadn't thought about this issue yet.

"At present, the annual steel output of Dongying Wakou is only 2,000 tons, and the steel output of one of your steelmaking plants is 1,000 tons more than the steel output of Wakou in two years, right?" Li Yunfeng asked rhetorically.

"Okay, this official will give you another two million oceans, and I hope that Mr. Shang Di will be true to his word and transform the steel mill of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau into a steel mill with an annual output of 5,000 tons." Li Hongzhang's heart moved, and he gritted his teeth and responded.

"No problem, we can sign a contract." Li Yunfeng nodded.

Li Hongzhang came to the stage and said a few words, under the pretext of old age and infirmity, he left Paramount with a group of subordinates.

Seeing Li Zhongtang and his men leaving, men, women, and children came over one by one.

"Mr. Shandy, may I ask you to do a dance?" A woman with a good figure and temperament, who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a pale green cheongsam, stretched out her small hand as white as jade, and asked softly.

"I'm sorry, I don't like to dance, and I can't dance." Li Yunfeng shook his head.

"Mr. Shandy, I'd like to buy some more fairy powder and stockings." Mark Wyn whispered.

"Okay, bring the gold and silver, and go directly to the Li Industrial Base." Li Yunfeng nodded.

"Mr. Shandy, do you have any new products there?" Hendry asked.

After dealing with everyone, Li Yunfeng left Paramount with ten soldiers and found a hotel to stay in.

The next morning, Yu Dakai rushed to the hotel and said politely: "Mr. Shangdi, Lord Zhongtang is waiting for you in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau." ”

"Please lead the way." Li Yunfeng said.

Seeing everyone coming, Li Hongzhang said: "Mr. Shangdi, this is the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the steel mill is over there. ”

Looking at the equipment of the steel mill, Li Yunfeng thought about it and said, "Lord Zhongtang, when will the renovation funds be in place?" ”

"Within three days." Li Hongzhang said.

"Okay, when the funds are in place, I'll start renovating the steel mill." Li Yunfeng said.

The two signed a contract, and Li Hongzhang left the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in a hurry, as the governor of Zhili, he had many affairs.

With two million oceans in hand, Li Yunfeng began to renovate the steelmaking plant, and it took him more than a week to transform it into a converter steelmaking plant.

"A group of turtles, the steelmaking plants that were not shut down in the Yanhuang Kingdom in later generations, except for the steelmaking plants that produce special steel, the rest of the steelmaking plants have an annual output of at least one million tons, and the steelmaking mills with an annual output of millions or tens of millions of tons are everywhere."
