"Huddle for warmth? I was negligent about that. Zhu Zhiyao's expression was a little dazed, and his eyes were full of reminiscence: "Shipbuilding, cotton...... Time is really a circle, going around and around, but I didn't expect it to come back again. ”

From a more high-end shipbuilding base to the outside world, "downgraded" to a factory for the production of machinery for the textile industry, Cheng Nuo was very worried that the other party would not be able to accept this process in a short period of time, especially after hearing the above words, the degree of worry was even higher.

"Zhu Lao, I know that there are some differences between shipbuilding and cotton-spinning machines, and some technical aspects may have to be re-tackled, but I believe that since the new machinery factory can successfully build a thousand-ton ship, there must be sufficient foundation in mechanical technology, and the prospect of cotton-iron cooperation is very bright." Cheng Nuo took a step forward and continued to persuade:

"Compared with the future, what is more important now is how to make the new machine factory live safely, seek new and new, new every day, new every day, and new every day!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiyao laughed at this time: "Zhiyuan, I'm afraid you misunderstood what I meant, I have never been worried about the technical aspect of the cotton loom, and I can't hide it, when the Manchu Dynasty was not destroyed, we had already imitated a Japanese-style pedal cloth machine, and we could weave 100 feet of foreign cloth every day." ”

"Elder Zhu, please take a seat." Jiang Jiangzuo saw that Zhu Zhiyao had been standing for a long time, and took the initiative to move him a small Mazha, and said curiously: "Then what about later, such a high-efficiency pedal cloth machine must be well received and profitable in the market, right?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhu Zhiyao nodded in thanks, and after sitting down, his tone was a little proud: "No matter what machinery and equipment we ask for new machinery and equipment, the primary consideration is never economic benefits, but social benefits, at that time, we directly produced 170 aircraft in one go, and we have this strength in the entire Shanghai Beach!" ”

didn't find the second little Maza, Jiang Jiang Zuo sat directly on the ground: "170 frames, you can build a medium-sized yarn factory directly on the spot, Zhu Lao, you are too powerful, this kind of spirit is really a model for my generation, so what about later?" ”

At this time, Zhu Zhiyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Although the equipment looks very good, it has not been put on the market before, and my business colleagues are skeptical about it, and the market acceptance is not high, and I haven't sold a few planes in total. ”

"This ......" Jiang Zuo opened his mouth, and finally stretched out a thumbs up: "Zhu Lao is really a man of temperament." ”

Cheng Nuo on the side listened to it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

"For the current innovation machine factory, even if the loom can be manufactured in a short time, it will take a certain amount of time to bring it to the market, even if we are very confident in our technology, the intermediate process is inevitable." After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Nuo still threw out his opinion.

Jiang Jiang Zuo pinched his nose: "What we lack most at the moment is time, if we miss this point in time, the new machine factory will be completely renamed, and when the time comes, when the French come in, what we want to do can be as difficult as the sky." ”

Saying that, Jiang Jiangzuo and Zhu Zhiyao shifted their eyes to Cheng Nuo again.

Especially Zhu Zhiyao, it would be fine if he was simply disheartened at first, but now Cheng Nuo gave him hope, if it was broken again, that kind of blow would be enough to completely wipe out what little heart he had left.

Cheng Nuo, who knew this, did not continue to sell Guanzi: "My view is to expand to the downstream industry. ”

The two of you, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what this means, but after waiting for Cheng Nuo to introduce it in detail, I finally understood what was going on.

"The so-called strategy of expansion to downstream industries, that is, the establishment of a micro protective market, directly from the end consumer goods to obtain profits, and then in turn to feed back the machinery industry, the expansion of the capital goods industry, can also be called a vertical integration strategy." Looking at the two, Cheng Nuo said confidently.

Jiang Jiang Zuo was a little confused: "Zhiyuan, it is equivalent to saying that the cotton-iron joint venture just mentioned is the upstream, middle and downstream of our own industry?" And not to cooperate with those cotton textile enterprises? ”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "In the long run, if we want to achieve better development, we should try to get closer to this strategy, not that the more people who join in, the better, in that case, the investment subject is too scattered, not only the interests are difficult to coordinate, but also the vision is difficult to align, but it is a burden."

Hold the cotton and iron industry to seek innovation as the essence of the current development, not for the temptation, not for the threat, only to the way of special manufacturing, in the long run, naturally from the thorns to kill a bloody road. ”

Zhu Zhiyao pondered carefully for a while, and said: "I thought about it just now, Zhiyuan, what you said is very reasonable, whether it is the cotton textile industry or others, it is too superstitious to buy foreign goods, and we dare not easily try our own domestic products.

But if we only want to eat alone, it is not in line with our original intention of developing industry, and we cannot only rely on self-production and self-sale to survive for a lifetime, the technology research and development of industrial enterprises is a systematic project, which requires a suitable industrial ecology, and it is difficult for individual enterprises to change the overall situation alone. ”

"Papapa~"

Hearing that Zhu Zhiyao could have such a pattern, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but applaud and admired: "Zhu Lao's point of view is really convincing, but what I said is what I think, and that is what I want to say later." ”

Zhu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about it." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "In addition to time, the most important thing for the new machinery factory at the moment is that funds are also very scarce, and the main reason for the current situation is also in the word capital."

So what I want to say is that the original cotton-iron joint venture strategy will be fine-tuned, and the new machine factory will produce technology and talents, and several large cotton textile factories such as Dasheng Yarn Factory, Hengfeng Yarn Factory and Dalong Yarn Factory will provide sites and funds, so that the problem of funds can not only be solved, but also the problem of their machine shortage can be overcome. ”

In this way, it can not only avoid the waste of time caused by pulling with many small cotton textile enterprises, but also find some stable sources of customers for the new machinery factory, and also drive the development of the entire domestic cotton textile industry, a win-win situation.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was operable, Zhu Zhiyao couldn't stay on the pony anymore, stood up and turned back and forth a few times, and finally couldn't help but come to Cheng Nuo: "Zhiyuan, my uncle Ma Xiangbo has been talking about you in front of me for a long time, and you promised to give a speech at Fu Jen University before, and I am looking forward to it." ”

Cheng Nuo was a little confused, and asked: "I've been busy lately, and I'll go when I'm done, but why did Zhu Lao suddenly talk about this?" ”

Zhu Zhiyao smiled: "I want to say, Zhiyuan, you won't live up to the trust of our uncle and nephew, right?" ”

Cheng Nuo patted his chest and promised again and again: "You can rest assured, I will never miss what I promised." ”

After getting an accurate answer, Zhu Zhiyao was like a different person, and the whole person suddenly became a lot younger, and even had a feeling of high spirits.

"Good! I am relieved to have your words, as long as the factory is still in the hands of our people, shining for the national industry, even if I lose this old life, it is not hesitant! ”

However, after the testimonial, there is a clear plan for the long and short term of the new machine factory, and there is still a thorny problem in front of it.

That is the upcoming debt, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, then it is still difficult to escape the fate of being acquired, and no matter how good and big the plan is, it will be in vain.

When he came to the office, Cheng Nuo looked at the account book for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Elder Zhu, you give me a good word, how much money do you need to tide over this crisis right now?"

Zhu Zhiyao thought about it in his heart, and slowly stretched out three fingers, but quickly retracted one: "Three hundred thousand...... No, 200,000 is enough, if there are 200,000, then I can be confident that I can deal with the French, as for the Beiyang government, they have people, and we also have them. ”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "Okay, I have it in my heart." ”

After saying this, Cheng Nuo immediately pulled Jiang Jiang Zuo aside and asked quietly: "Lifu, how much liquidity can our Academy of Sciences come up with without changing the main strategy and business model." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo's face immediately showed a bitter melon look: "I knew that you didn't have a good thing to take me, so you were waiting for me here." ”

Cheng Nuo patted his friend on the back: "At present, saving people is like fighting fire, you also understand the situation of the new machinery factory, and it doesn't matter if the public doesn't save it, now we don't save it, then it is likely to lose an important partner in the future, industrial development is more difficult, and we will suffer more firepower." ”

After a pause, Cheng Nuo looked behind him and said, "Do you remember the important principles of our establishment of the Academy of Sciences?" ”

Following Cheng Nuo to look back, Jiang Jiang Zuo happened to meet Zhu Zhiyao's gaze, recalling that he was full of twilight at the beginning, and now he is full of spirit, which is simply like two people, and all this is based on the condition that the new machinery factory is about to turn the corner.

Pursing his lips, Jiang Jiang Zuo said seriously: "Of course I remember, that is, there are many friends and few enemies." ”

Cheng Nuo hugged his friend hard: "There is another point that we must also be clear, no matter how powerful Jiangnan Shipbuilding is now, it is essentially managed by the government, and what kind of role the public family is, you and I can't be clearer, in case one day we and General Chen are kicked away together, it will be when we want to cry without tears." ”

Looking at Cheng Nuo's serious face, Jiang Jiang Zuo suddenly laughed, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Cunning rabbit three holes, I don't want to do this thing of making wedding dresses for people." But then again, I didn't refuse! ”

Cheng Nuo said happily: "You agreed?" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo sighed helplessly: "It's really not easy to be your financial director, as you said, we can safely take out 500,000 funds, which are basically the numbers of our fertilizers, electrical appliances, matches and other factories combined, and we can make up this number in a short time." ”

"Hehe, I believe in you." Cheng Nuo smiled and hugged his friend's neck, and then asked: "With so much money, it is estimated that if we really take it out, our ability to resist risks will be greatly reduced, and it will also be detrimental to our development, how much can we take if we are safer?" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo frowned and thought for a while, and said firmly: "Three hundred thousand, if it is not higher than this number, we can deal with most difficulties calmly." ”

Cheng Nuo said decisively: "Okay, then take out 300,000 yuan and use it to seek new machinery factories in Zhiyuan, not only so that we can make high-quality steel plates, but also to retain a bunch of fire for our national industry!" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo echoed: "I, I support your decision!" ”

After the two communicated roughly about the transfer of funds, Cheng Nuo came to Zhu Zhiyao again.

"Zhu Lao ......"

As soon as Cheng Nuo opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the heartfelt Zhu Zhiyao, and there was a little nervousness in his words:

"Zhiyuan, I just thought about it, in fact, I don't need 200,000, I only need 150,000, I can take the new machine factory to get through this crisis, and then we can develop steadily according to our plan."

The amount changed so quickly that Cheng Nuo was a little stunned for a while.

However, when he saw the old man Zhu Zhiyao's surging Adam's apple from time to time and sweating on his head, he must have been doing a fierce psychological struggle just now.

has been busy for most of his life, for the rise of the national industry, isn't he the "second master Qin" who is alive and well.

"Old Zhu, we are talking about business, business is business, 150,000 is definitely not enough." Under the other party's eager gaze, Cheng Nuo slowly stretched out three fingers: "I'll give you 300,000 yuan, is it enough?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiyao did not accept this aid: "300,000 yuan, that's too much, if it's just my own factory, it will go bankrupt, but now I want you to invest so much money into it, in case it is still yellow in the end, I will be to blame." ”

Cheng Nuo insisted: "Although 150,000 looks like a lot, but in front of such a big factory, it is still a little difficult, really relying on such a sum of money to save the market, it is very likely that the new machine factory can't be saved, and the money can't be recovered, it's better to invest more at the beginning, hit the other party by surprise, if it's not enough, I will continue to think of a way." ”

Zhu Zhiyao refused: "Zhiyuan, I know that you are also in business, and it is not easy to do today's industry, I don't want you to end up like me, waste half your life, and finally end up with nothing, I understand the taste of tea and cold tea too well, so take back the money." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet, this money is not for nothing, I need to replace 49% of the shares back, so that in the future, when Zhu Lao earns money, I can also have a bite to eat." ”

Although Zhu Zhiyao was a little moved, he still refused: "I don't need you to give me 300,000, I will give you so many shares for 150,000......"

One can't give money, and the other doesn't collect much.

After several back and forth, a cooperation agreement was finally reached.

That is, Cheng Nuo took out 200,000 yuan to acquire 49% of the shares of Qiuxin Machinery Factory, leaving 51% to Zhu Zhiyao.

With this money, Qiuxin Machinery Factory can tide over this difficulty.

Later, according to the previous plan, we can cooperate with Zhang Jian, Rong Brothers and others to set up factories to form a micro business ecology, so that the national industrial enterprises that join in can get benefits.

At the same time, the former steelmaking plant will be restarted, and Krupp steel will be put into production as soon as possible, so as to plug the raw material gap of Jiangnan Shipyard.

"The manufacture of advanced machines, the construction of convenient docks and the study of excellent steel, can do these three, then the long-cherished wish to be rewarded, no matter what kind of machine, such as rails, steel wheels, etc. can be made one by one, no need to rely on others, now hope is still there, and get this friend, hurry up!

Zhiyuan, tonight we drink 300 cups, and we won't return home if we don't get drunk! ”

Late at night, under the guidance of Venus, the stars began to twinkle in a short time, and then the sky was full of brilliance.

Holding a wine glass, Cheng Nuo looked up at the sky and seemed to be drunk.
