Chapter 326: A Banquet for a New Era

Railway Engineering Headquarters.

It consists of Shaanxi Railway Engineering Department and Shanxi Railway Engineering Department.

It is the largest core department of China Heavy Industries, and its scale and number of employees account for half of China Heavy Industries.

Because of the expansion of the scale, and full consideration of the employment and scheduling environment, etc., the railway engineering headquarters office area was built in Zhendingfu.

After a one-year construction period of the engineering department, the railway engineering headquarters has entered the handover ceremony.

Some departments have been relocated to the headquarters area ahead of schedule and are functioning well.

Today.

It was a day when the head of China Heavy Industry came to participate in the handover ceremony of the Engineering Department and the Railway Engineering Department.

Xu Ning, the veteran of China Heavy Industries, has grown a beard on his face and wears the overalls of China Heavy Industries, which is the case every day.

Although he is still young, not even thirty years old, no one dares to snub him, even if he goes to the prince to speak.

Because of all the employees inside and outside the Ministry of Railway Engineering, the total number is close to 60,000.

The 60,000 numbers are huge.

It can be spread over millions of square kilometers of land, and it is like pepper sprinkled on the surface, and there is not much movement in sight.

But the monthly wages are real.

Ninety thousand taels a month, up to one million taels of silver a year.

The reform of grain stamps within China Heavy Industry has long been completed, and the workers have accepted food stamps instead of copper coins.

Nor do they go to the food stamp bank to exchange gold and silver as soon as they receive the food stamps, or go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to spend them.

According to Zhu Gaochi's words, in the pool of grain stamps, the workers of the Railway Engineering Department alone settle hundreds of thousands of taels of grain stamps every month.

As people's wealth grows, this interest will increase more and more.

In the short term, it is good, but in the long term, it is better to make this interest settlement even less.

Ma Lin, the boss of the engineering department, led the managers of the engineering department and welcomed Xu Ning and the managers behind him.

Both sides bowed their hands.

As important guests, Zhang Dehui and Zhou Yourong were also there, as well as some officials from Beiping, from Su Guan of the Political Department to officials from Zhending Mansion.

The scene was very large.

The headquarters building of the Ministry of Railway Engineering is a reinforced concrete structure, and it is also the largest building in Beiping.

There are nine floors and more than 300 large and small offices.

It is taller than the tallest pagoda in the temple of Peiping.

The design scheme of the headquarters building of China Heavy Industries is adopted, and the hollow shape is also used.

The railway engineering department, which had deep pockets, paid 17,000 taels of silver to the engineering department that also had deep pockets.

After the handover ceremony is completed, the final balance will be settled.

This is only the cost of building structure, construction and management, construction equipment, and does not include interior decoration costs, as well as other expenses.

In the process of turning the left hand to the right hand, only one building gave birth to the productivity of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and consumed all kinds of mineral resources from the land.

People are still eating three meals a day, but food consumption is not increasing.

It can be simply described as the essence of economic development and productivity improvement.

This kind of project, in the traditional agricultural era, is an act of labor and money, and even the payment transaction is not good for society.

Because of the essential difference between an agrarian society and an industrial society.

The era of firewood.

The more fuel consumed, the more scarce and expensive it becomes, which not only fails to support industrial development, but also makes people unable to afford fuel, or even have money.

But the era of coal is different.

The more fuel consumed, the more fuel is produced, and the lower the cost, which is not only conducive to the development of industry, but also allows the people to buy cheap fuel.

Whether it's called the First Industrial Revolution, or the Age of Steam, or the Second Industrial Revolution, or the Electric Age.

It's similar in nature.

Therefore, when the energy problem is not solved, the development of industry will bring harm to the people of the firewood energy society.

It's like a country in the Hereafter.

When it is blocked, it loses the energy needed for industrialization, and industrialization will enter a total regression, and no solution can be solved.

The first industrial revolution was marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power engine, rather than the textile machine.

The textile industry was at the core, one of the main reasons for the success of Britain's first Industrial Revolution, but it was not a hallmark.

In terms of the scale and market of the textile industry, even Britain after the first industrial revolution is not as good as the Jianghuai region.

The relocation of the headquarters of the Ministry of Railway Engineering was not a big deal in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, because although he was invited, he did not agree to participate, and only asked the clerical office to send someone to congratulate him.

Although it is just an ordinary document, it represents that the little prince is not ordinary.

On the platform that was erected, the clerk gave a congratulatory speech.

"Knowing that the headquarters of the Ministry of Railway Engineering has moved from the headquarters of Daxing China Heavy Industry to Zhending Mansion, I am entrusted by the little prince to congratulate the Ministry of Railway Engineering on the joy of relocation, and on behalf of all the workers of China Heavy Industry, I send the warmest congratulations to the headquarters of the Ministry of Railway Engineering."

Wait for the paperwork to finish.

Xu Ning and Ma Lin were polite, and Xu Ning was the second to speak.

"Thank you for your congratulations, thank you from all walks of life, and thank you to all my colleagues in the engineering department for their full support......"

As the big treasurer who manages 60,000 railway workers, and even the department that uses the most military households in China Heavy Industry.

Xu Ning is no longer the apprentice he used to be, going out with hope in mind.

You're welcome.

Which of the commanders of the guard post in Jeonbeiping has not cooperated, although there is no grade, but the network maintained with the help of the platform is already very large.

"Since the establishment of the Ministry of Railway Engineering, a railway of 800 miles from north to south and 600 miles from east to west has been built in Beiping."

"The nearly 1,000-mile railway plan from Beiping to Daning, from Beiping to Shaanxi through Shanxi to Shaanxi Xingdusi 3,000-mile railway."

"The main lines are planned to be completed smoothly and are about to be completed, as well as the local branch railway ...... up to 6,000 miles high"

"When the mountains are opened, the water is bridged, all the railway colleagues are fighting day and night, and they are making every effort to complete the goals of the headquarters."

"To live up to the expectations of the prince and the little prince, the achievements of the Ministry of Railway Engineering today are undoubtedly great, and the results are gratifying."

"But the footsteps of railway workers will never stop, will not be satisfied with the present, the next stage of the railway plan, will be larger, paving the way for industrialization."

"Shaanxi has a vast land and abundant resources, and the land area is nearly four times that of Beiping and three times that of Shanxi, and it is also a tough battle to be fought by the Ministry of Railway Engineering in the next stage."

"The railway north of Kaiping is the most urgent need and the most concerned railway section at the moment, and the three railways with a total of 2,000 miles here will also be the most urgent battlefield for the Ministry of Railway Engineering."

……

The Shaanxi Buzheng Division, together with the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, included Ningxia, Gansu in later generations, although the population was far less than that of Shanxi, but the area was much larger.

It is also one of the main reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang divided the first vassal king here.

According to Zhu Gaochi's requirements, Shaanxi is also the most urgent place to invest at present, and the level is higher than that of Shanxi.

Because there is also a Jin king in Shanxi.

It took a whole hour for the handover ceremony to officially land.

In the afternoon.

A restaurant hosted the banquet.

As new demands were born and more and more of this behavior grew, restaurants developed accordingly and began to offer large venues.

More than 300 people attended the banquet, most of whom were outsiders.

at the tail end of the field.

Eight people sat at the large round table.

These eight people all know each other and have the same identity, the former apprentice of the steam engine cabinet of China Heavy Industries, and even the manager.

"Let's go, there's no one at that table now."

No one cared about the food on the table, and the people who ate looked elsewhere.

Someone hurriedly stood up with a glass of wine and walked in the direction of the middle area.

In front of you is the area where the bigwigs are located, as well as important guests, such as officials, or big businessmen like Zhang Dehui.

The central region is the management level within the Ministry of Railways, as well as important partners.

At the tail end is the internal team leader level of the railway, and their small partners, they can't even talk about cooperation.

Eight people came here with wine glasses in their hands to toast others.

Through conversations on both sides.

It turned out that these eight people were engaged in the decoration industry, and during the construction of the railway headquarters plant, they contracted a lot of small projects.

For example, painting walls, laying floors, installing doors and windows, installing lamps, providing equipment and projects such as tables and chairs.

The steam engine is the first factory of China Heavy Industry, and the first steam engine cabinet department was born, which has cultivated many talents with a broad vision.

With the rise of the Chung Hwa Heavy Industry Factory, the staff of the steam engine outer cabinet have more directions.

It's like when the computer industry was just emerging.

Those who were the first to invest in the computer industry were undoubtedly blown by the wind, and the first batch to eat the dividends of industry expansion.

This is the case with the staff of the outer cabinet of the steam engine.

There are Zhang Bo and other businessmen who break the restrictions, and now the most popular businessman in Beiping, as well as Xu Ning, a veteran of China Heavy Industry.

These people are all from the outer cabinet of the steam engine.

Most of the people have risen, and a small number of people have left the department, and with the help of these years, they have become a part of the countless downstream industrial chains of China Heavy Industries.

Zhang Bo is a "monster" cultivated in this environment.

More people don't have the whimsical and bold courage of Zhang Bo, and they mainly follow China Heavy Industry to eat, which can be regarded as supplementing the ecological chain of China Heavy Industry.

"I regret it very much now, I shouldn't have been blinded back then, why did I decide to leave China Heavy Industry."

The man made a toast to his former colleague.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've been working with you for three years, and I don't know you yet, from the time you failed to compete for the factory director, I knew that you would have to leave sooner or later."

The steward patted the man on the shoulder.

"Haha, you still know me, I'm a person with heavy desires, and I can't stand the rules, and there are too many temptations outside."

"Everyone's pursuit is different, and you live a lot now."

"Everything is good, but I am worried that one day China Heavy Industry will change the direction of development, and our group of people will not be able to keep up."

"Don't worry, the development situation of our headquarters, people outside don't understand, don't you know, the little prince is supportive of the downstream industry."

"Okay, there are many people who come to toast to you, so I won't provoke the people waiting behind me to scold in their hearts, I have dried this glass of wine, you are free."

A banquet hall with forty countertops.

Bright glass windows, floor-to-ceiling curtains opened, let the evening afterglow into the room, and the guys in the restaurant lit the candlesticks.

Others took down the lantern with a fine chisel and hung it high.

Red lights, yellow lights, white lights, illuminating the hall like a day.

Now China Heavy Industry has strict rules and a positive atmosphere.

The dishes on the table are exquisite but not extravagant, and they are delicious and not wasteful.

Wasting food is avoided.

There is no appearance of a wine girl, which is expressly forbidden by China Heavy Industry, and no China Heavy Industry personnel shall be accompanied by a wine girl.

If you find it, you will deal with it together, and you will be severely punished.

Because with the appearance of color, it must be corruption.
