The resettlement list of the first batch of 2,000 new immigrants has been posted, and the newcomers who have been relatively close to each other have arrived in advance.

Hedong Guojia Guo Mansion.

"Master, why is there no definite news about the shipyard now, could it be that the Government Council has other plans?"

It was none other than Wang Xuan who spoke last time, it was the last time Wang Xuan went to Daxia, the peer steward arranged by the Guo family, surnamed Liu Mingxiang, is now the chief housekeeper of the Guo family, overseeing all matters of the Guo family, and has great authority.

"Whether there are other plans, it is not yet known, when I discussed with Minister Sun of the Ministry of Commerce today, I repeatedly mentioned this matter, and I talked about him left and right, and in the end, I could not bear the dialect and did not reach a conclusion, and the Ministry of Commerce should report to the Government Council after comprehensive consideration. ”

Guo Wei is also anxious, but in recent years, his qi cultivation and kung fu have improved, and his laughter and scolding are not obvious, but he can't hide it from Liu Xiang.

"Can you dredge the joints?" Liu Xiang was so anxious that he even made crooked moves.

"No, you have to know, this is auspicious, not Great Xia!" Guo Wei immediately rejected the housekeeper's proposal, no matter what, this road could not be taken.

At this time, the plate factory.

Wei Xing looked at the mountains of all kinds of wood, and his heart was also secretly bitter, only the piece of land opened up by the farm in the south of the city, the wood cut down for shipbuilding, was enough to fill half of the board factory.

These timbers are not very strong, and the shade dries relatively quickly, and after a period of time it can meet the needs of shipbuilding.

What do you need for shipbuilding? Timber, craftsmen, both of which are available in the panel mills.

Funds, technology, the Lord has made a clear statement, the government provides, so what is missing? No matter what angle is considered, the plate factory is a must.

At this time, Wei Xingwei was really depressed, and since the application was handed in, it has sunk like a stone in the sea, and there is no news.

Yongsheng and He'an don't make a lot of money, even Chengnan Farm has inputs, Wei Xing has long been salivating, can you not be blushing?

Although the new furniture has been exported, the plate factory has made unprecedented purchases, but who will be afraid of the money?

However, there is still no news, and Sun Xing is also silent, if it wasn't for the time when this outsider was there, he would have to ask the reason.

Sun Xing, who is in the midst of the wind and waves, is sorting out the qualifications of the shipyard declaration personnel, not only to achieve the purpose of supporting private enterprises, but also to grasp the direction of shipyard research and development.

According to this line of thinking, Sun Xing already has a plan.

The next day, Sun Xing found Zhang Yun and reported the construction plan of the shipyard.

"Committee member Zhang, since the Lord formally put forward the request to build a civilian shipyard, the Ministry of Commerce has received a lot of applications, private enterprises are represented by Guo Wei and Guo's family, and government enterprises are represented by plate factories. ”

"Oh, then how many companies are interested in marble mining and processing?" This is a matter that Wang Xuan mentioned at the beginning, and he can't favor one over the other, Zhang Yun had to ask this question.

"All are private enterprises, among which the Yao family is the strongest, the government provides technical and financial support, as long as the enterprise has enough labor, it can support the entire factory, large and small businesses are squeezed out. ”

After that, Sun Xing and Zhang Yun looked at each other and smiled, which is a good sign.

The two of them asked and answered, and continued to make tea, and Sun Xinggu answered them all fluently.

In the end, Zhang Yun brought the topic back to the construction of the shipyard, and Sun Xing said: "Member Zhang, although it is a civilian shipyard, and the ships built are also used for inland river transportation, this is the first shipyard in Jixiang after all, which is of great significance. ”

Sun Xing looked into Zhang Yun's eyes and said solemnly, "If it is just a simple civilian shipyard, as long as it provides ship construction technology, the Guo family in Hedong will be competent enough." But in fact, ordinary civilian shipyards will never let the Lord be so concerned. ”

Sun Xing's words were categorical, and Zhang Yun also understood the mystery, so he motioned for him to continue.

"This is just the beginning, once the shipyard is running smoothly, the master's plan will be launched, and the target is ocean-going vessels. Jixiang earns gold coins by exporting foreign goods, subsidizing the construction of the territory, transportation channels are the top priority, and this lifeline is never allowed to be controlled by others for a long time. So, to put it simply, this civilian shipyard is just a toy of the Lord, an experimental product, to verify shipbuilding technology and train shipwrights, and the Lord's goal is the sea of stars. In view of this, the government must be involved in leading technological research and innovation to meet the main demand for experimentation. ”

Sun Xing's idea coincided with Zhang Yun's, that civilian shipyards were only used to accumulate experience and train skilled shipbuilders, and the government's involvement in them was the meaning of the topic.

On March 6, just after the hour, Zhang Yun came to ask Wang Xuan to meet.

After a salute, Zhang Yun Daoming came to prepare for the construction of a civilian shipyard.

"What does Commissioner Zhang think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Zhang Yun took the initiative to report, the number of times is really not much, and Wang Xuan is also full of expectations for this.

"Returning to the Lord, the minister (retainer) has been in charge of the three ministries of commerce, propaganda, and foreign affairs for more than a year, and the Ministry of Independent Commerce has rarely worried about it, because the lord has personally done it, and the achievements are eye-catching, and the minister is very frightened. Jixiang wants to build a civilian shipyard, many companies come to consult, and the minister is on the heart, and there are a lot of ideas, not vomiting unhappy!"

Zhang Yun, who is nearly forty years old, has always been low-key and rarely speaks, neither as old as Zhao Sheng, nor as sharp as Liu Quan, not as delicate as Wang Zhi and Zhao Xiaoshan, but now he can say such words, which is really surprising.

"Committee member Zhang was humble, and regardless of the rest, he only went to Daxia twice, and he worked hard and made great achievements, and since he was impressed by the shipyard construction plan, he spoke freely. ”

"Lord, the Guo family has been operating inland river shipping for nearly ten years, and the sailors under their command are not counted, and they also know the structure, characteristics and construction of various types of ships well, such as a number of treasures, and it is difficult to bypass the operation of civilian shipyards. And looking at what the Guo family has done recently, it can be called a model of auspicious enterprises, so the minister has been thinking for a long time, if the government and the Guo family run the shipyard together, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, and kill multiple birds with one stone!"

"Oh, then, according to Committee Member Zhang's opinion, is it intended to be a joint venture between the plate factory and the Guo family?"

"It is precisely in this way that the choice of Guojia is not only to support private enterprises, but also to care for the 'conscience' enterprises; at the same time, the plate factory to participate in the operation, can also better guide the shipbuilding direction and technology accumulation. ”

Indeed, as Zhang Yun said, the Guo family still has some capital in the shipbuilding industry, and it has a good reputation in the collar, and it deserves to be called a 'model'; the plate factory has been hoarding shipbuilding timber for more than a year, and there are skilled carpenters, whether it is the interior decoration of the ship or the external splicing, they can also exert their strength.

After pondering for a while, Wang Xuan asked Zhang Yun: "Are these two families taking the initiative to ask for help?"

"Yes, we've done some qualifications, and the combination of the two is the most appropriate. ”

"So so, how to divide the shares?" is the most important point, and I have to mention it.

"The plate factory is responsible for the design, construction and process improvement of the ship, accounting for 60% of the shares, and the Guo family is responsible for the operation and management of the shipyard, accounting for 40% of the shares. Zhang Yun replied.

"Fortunately, the funds for the construction of the shipyard will be disbursed from the Development and Construction Bank, tentatively 5,000 gold coins, and the money will be returned in two years, without interest. ”

Before the site was selected for construction, the Development and Construction Bank had its first business, which was also an auspicious precedent.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yun organized a shipyard preparation meeting, and the five giants and Sun Xing, Zheng San, Wei Xing, and Guo Wei all attended the meeting.

The meeting clarified the equity distribution, the provision of construction funds, the rights and responsibilities of all parties, etc., and required that the construction plan be carried out on this basis.

Since the funds come from the Development and Construction Bank, the meeting also passed a resolution on the establishment of a temporary bank management group, with Wang Zhi, who is in charge of finance and taxation, as the team leader, and the members of the committee as the deputy leader, to prepare for the establishment of the bank's leading group; and it was decided that the area located at the intersection of Fenghuang Avenue and Xianglin Avenue in the 12th District, east to Zhengbei Road, will be the construction site of the new bank, covering an area of about 20 acres, and the construction will start on a scheduled date.

In the evening, Hedong Guo Mansion.

"The lord is back. The housekeeper Liu Xiang came to open the door to greet him.

"Master, can this matter be done?" Liu Xiang couldn't wait to ask after welcoming Guo Wei into the courtyard.

"It's done!" Guo Wei was also happy.

"Great, in this way, my Guo family will be as stable as Mount Tai in the auspicious river. Liu Xiang listened to the affirmative answer of the head of the family and clapped his hands.

The two of them walked into the study and sat down as guests.

Guo Wei said: "Since my Guo family inherited the position of lord independently, I have kept to myself and obeyed the law, and never opportunistically harmed the public and private interests. ”

Guo Wei is feeling a lot, since Wang Xuan succeeded to the throne, a series of dazzling, maverick means are to see him dumbfounded, especially the ability to earn gold coins, but also let him throw himself to the ground, so he firmly hugged Wang Xuan's thighs, a desperate road to the black, now it seems that the harvest is very expensive.

Look at the Du family on the negative side of the textbook, the Lord also took care of it more when he was in the first phase of the new city, but unfortunately the steward named Du Chun broke the rules, the fine was small, and when he could gain the trust of the Lord again, it was a big deal.

It is true that it is said that the Lord is merciful, but there is also a bottom line for mercy. Liu Xiang also had some feelings, "In order to support private enterprises, the government has invested a lot, but there are always some people who are pampered and arrogant, and deliberately do things that harm the public and private interests, which is also a desire for profit and covers their eyes." ”

"My Guo family must recognize a truth, that is, to do things in a down-to-earth manner, to be an honest man, to go down step by step, and everything has its own justice. ”

"Yes, all words and deeds are based on this standard, and they dare not violate it. Liu Xiang replied.

"That's good, with the development and growth of the family, it is inevitable that there will be one or two people who are not successful, do that insulting thing, once discovered, severely punished, do not condone and cover, otherwise, today's Du family is my tomorrow's Guo family. ”

This can be regarded as setting family rules for the Guo family.

Early the next morning, Guo Wei took Liu Xiang and several entourages to the plate factory to discuss the construction of the shipyard.

Wei Xing is well aware of the intention of the Guo family and his entourage, although the Government Council has set a strategy, but the specific matters still have to be discussed in detail by the two sides and reach an agreement.

"Brother Wei, the matter of the shipyard has been decided, and we will check one or two more in various subsections. ”

Immediately, the two sides explained their respective responsibilities one by one, and finally reached an agreement at noon.

Workers and technology are provided by the sheet metal factory, which is the premise.

The most carpenters in the panel factory are currently working in the panel factory, and the drawings of the new ships provided by Wang Xuan and the carpenter skills provided by the two masters make it not difficult to design, build and improve the ships.

The existing marine timber of the board factory is counted as a shareholding investment, and the subsequent timber procurement will also give priority to the board factory.

The construction funds are funded by the Development and Construction Bank, and the Guo family is directly connected to the Secretariat of the Government Council.

The shipyard was built on the west bank of the Liuyin River, downstream of the plate factory, and the two were less than 500 meters apart. The shipyard is also named "Jixiang Liuyin River Civil Shipyard" because it is located on the bank of the Lyuin River. ”

After many details were finalized, the two companies jointly set up a shipyard supervision team to take full responsibility for the construction of the shipyard.

Finally, the auspicious shipbuilding industry began to take off.
