The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Regarding the worries of the logistics staff, Li Xin believes that as long as he builds enough forward fortresses, such problems will be solved. The logistics staff are worried not only about the forward fortresses, but also about their front-line supplies and a large amount of logistics.

Regarding the forward delivery of supplies, you must know that Northern Xinjiang has to go through a mountain road to reach the Western Regions outside Northern Xinjiang, such as Da

Within the territory of Wan State. However, Qin State did not have any railways or roads to support such a huge transportation on this section of the road. This caused transportation difficulties. It was precisely based on this reality that the logistics staff were so worried, but

Li Xin also understood this situation, but he believed that the logistics problem could be solved with the highly mobile cavalry unit.

Sinjung, South Korea.

"We have already had results regarding the listing of Qiguo and the provision of loans and investments." Han Cai told Lou Jing on behalf of the Royal Bank of Korea. This is the largest commercial investment in South Korea, as well as commercial loans and loans.

The main target is the Tian Group of Qi State. This Tian Group is the business interest group established by Tian Heng and others in Qi State. They contracted the construction of railways in South Korea, Wei State, and Qi State. Among them, the Qi State section is owned by Tian Group

Come take responsibility.

"We agree to provide commercial loans to the Tian Group's commercial part. For the railway investment part, we can provide commercial investment worth 1.5 million gold." Han Cai said.

"However, the conditions for listing may have changed somewhat." Han Cai continued.

"As for loans and investments, these conditions are not very different from ours in Qi. The key is to go public. Only after we go public can we have sufficient funds to make profits." Lou Jing said worriedly. As long as Tian's Group

Going public can solve a part of the problem to a large extent

That’s a problem. Because with the conditions for listing, we can quickly get investment from Qin. This investment can continue to provide financial support, allowing Tian’s Group to develop rapidly. It is precisely because of this

Plan. Lou Jingcai pays great attention to the condition of going public.

"Mr. Lou, you should have noticed. According to the latest listing conditions, Tian's Group must produce an annual report for one year and have a profit of more than 500,000 gold on the book before it can be listed. Only if such conditions are met,

Only the Korean stock market can approve your report, and then it can be further listed." Han Cai explained.

"Judging from the time you provided for registering the group, I'm afraid it will take you about seven months to meet this requirement. Therefore, in terms of investment, we may consider avoiding some risks. The amount of investment will not be too much.

One and a half million gold, this is the maximum, and in terms of shareholding ratio, we still insist on our shareholding ratio of 87%." Han Cai said to Lou Jing.

Hearing Han Cai's conditions, Lou Jing squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair.

Speaking of which, the conditions in South Korea are much better than those of the people of Qin. Qin’s shareholding ratio has reached about 90%. Moreover, the funds provided by the people of Qin are not very sufficient. There are only about 1.2 million gold, which is

It was the best result of his negotiations in the past few days. The conditions offered by the Koreans already met Lou Jing's requirements. But Lou Jing thought this was not enough.

You must know that Qi State is building a railway, and the investment in the railway is at least two million gold. This does not include the investment in locomotives and railway technology. If these are added, the capital demand will be huge.

However, South Korea only provided so much funds, and the Tian Group still lacked sufficient funds to build railways. Compared with those for business, railway projects have great potential profits, and railways are of great significance, so Tian

The group, especially Tian Heng, hopes that Qi State can completely own projects such as railways.

"Can it be launched earlier? We can't wait that long." Lou Jing said to Han Cai.

"This is a bit difficult. After all, this requires very tough approval procedures." Han Cai said helplessly.

"In addition, Mr. Lou, according to my understanding, the Wei section of the railway has been laid very quickly. I think the railway will soon enter the Qi section." Han Cai reminded kindly. This was actually to let Lou

I hope you can find a way to solve this problem. After all, if the delay continues, the Royal Bank of Korea is also worried that things will change a lot.

"Okay. I need to think about this kind of thing. After all, the risks caused by a hasty decision are not something I can bear alone." Lou Jing still made a cautious decision. In this matter, Qi Guo also

Some initiative, that is, he can choose which investor is more favorable. If the investor can be more inclined to them, he is still willing to introduce the other party's funds.

Lou Jing came out of the Korean Royal Bank cautiously. He still didn't know how to solve this problem. The amount of funds given to him was too large, and it would definitely be difficult to complete it in a short time.

In Wenyang Bank of Qin State, there is also a fierce debate on Wenyang Bank's next plan.

"Investment, there are so many investment projects now, including railways, trade, steel, cement, and arsenals. The demand for all kinds of things is very great. You said, there are so many projects, where do you want to invest?" A fat man

The middle-aged man stood up, clasped his fingers and said to everyone.

"Well, that's right. Manager Wen is right. There are so many investment projects now. We just discussed how many projects are worthy of investment." Ying Yu saw an investment project seminar and was so noisy.

It is very excessive. Some people suggest investing in steel, because the steel project is the largest project, and some people suggest investing in railways, because there are currently so many railway projects. But

Railway projects and steel projects are bundled together, which makes many people focus on it all at once. This has become the mainstream. On the other hand, some people collectively believe that investment in small projects, such as electricity, should not be relaxed.

, cement, etc., after all, the demand for these things is also strong, and they have great market prospects. These are one of the projects that are currently competitive.

"There are indeed many projects currently, but don't forget. Our funds are very limited. Moreover, the funds are not only limited, but the projects we can focus on are also very limited. This is just like fighting a war. In the Chang'an Military Academy of Qin State,

The first thing to learn is how to concentrate your troops. We do banking business for the same reason." Ying Yu stood up and walked around. Everyone listened patiently.

"You just said it. There are many investment projects now, and there are only a few projects that are suitable for our investment. For example, we must first satisfy them that they can control more resources, and the company must be large and powerful enough.

They have considerable resources to mobilize. Manpower, material resources, and huge financial resources." Ying Yu said.

"In this way, the projects available for us to choose from have been greatly reduced." Ying Yu said.

"If we blindly make random investments, the results will be unpredictable. We all know this," Ying Yu said.

“So, in this meeting, in order to solve this problem, I think our bank’s limited funds should be concentrated in one main direction. Based on the main intention discussed just now, I think there is one main investment direction.

We need to pay attention." Ying Yu said and returned to his seat.

"Steel and railways. These are our two main directions." Ying Yu said seriously.

"Practically speaking, there is actually only one direction, steel. The purpose of building railways is to be used in large quantities for consumption, and steel can continue to develop. Therefore, our main direction is actually only one, steel." Ying Yu further

explained.

"Well. In this way, there are many things we can solve." Manager Wen just nodded and said.

"Do you have any additional comments?" Ying Yu asked further at this time. Regarding some details, Ying Yu still hopes that someone can add them. After all, such a large-scale investment requires a lot of attention.

"Well, Chairman, I think we can focus on steel. In railway projects, we may not necessarily enter on a large scale. In this case, we can concentrate more of our superior funds on steel construction." Just now.

Manager Wen said.

"Yeah. Is there anything else?" Ying Yu nodded, thinking that the other party was right. This Manager Wen, whose full name is Wentai, comes from the south of Chu State. He is a scholar who is studying. He took the initiative one year after entering Wenyang College of Economics in Qin State.

Dropped out of school. Then he applied for a job at Wenyang Bank. In just half a year, he entered the management level with amazing results. This meeting was the first time he attended such a meeting.

"Also, I have learned about the steel industry. Many side industries also need to be built intensively. For example, industries such as mechanical processing, cement, and electricity. After all, they require a lot of integration. Moreover, steel

The demand for coal and steel is very large, mainly coal. If there is coal, a large steel plant can be built quickly." Wentai then added.

"Come here, we made a right decision by investing in steel." Ying Yu said with a smile after hearing this.

"Yes, Chairman." Wentai nodded.

"There is also railway construction. We control the shares as much as possible. We can seek cooperation to occupy favorable share resources, because the development of railways takes a long time. If the railways continue to develop, steel will continue to develop.

Continue to develop." Wentai talked about the relationship between steel and railways.

"There is also the construction industry, which is also a potential market. We should not only focus on steel and railways, but also on the construction industry. After all, judging from the current environment, Qin

In the future, they will not take the initiative to attack the Six Kingdoms of Kanto. In this way, the Six Kingdoms of Kanto will

A relatively long-term peaceful environment has been achieved. In such a peaceful environment, the construction industry will definitely develop, because if you have money, everyone is still willing to spend on real estate. For example, if you have several properties of your own, if the real estate is possible,

There will be room for appreciation in the next few years." Wentai analyzed.

"Yeah. Your analytical skills are pretty good." Ying Yu praised Wentai.

"Okay. In the next few years, everyone's investment plans should be clear." At this time, Ying Yu said to everyone.

"I understand, Chairman." Everyone nodded.

"Okay. Everyone, go back and sort it out and come up with a few good investment plans. We Wenyang Bank will reach a higher level." Ying Yu encouraged morale.

"Go to the next level." Everyone shouted in unison. The morale of Wenyang Bank immediately increased a lot. Xiao He, who had not expressed any opinions during the entire meeting, laughed. This was what he wanted to see.

In Ying Yu's office, Ying Yu personally cooked a pot of good tea for Xiao He.

"If it weren't for Mr. Xiao's reminder, I really wouldn't have noticed this." Ying Yu thanked Xiao He. The reason why Ying Yu held such a meeting was largely due to Xiao He's reminder, especially in investment.

In terms of main directions, Xiao He found that Wenyang Bank's recent investment project reports were particularly scattered and did not focus on a general direction. Ying Yu did not raise alarm about this. She believed that everything at Wenyang Bank was on track and there was no

There was nothing to worry about. So she let her guard down.

However, Xiao He believed that there was a great danger approaching. After a summary and analysis, Xiao He believed that Wenyang Bank could not continue like this. At least it could not continue to develop with such momentum. There were many investment projects, but

Without a major project, funds cannot be concentrated, and dispersed investment can indeed reduce

There are risks, but the returns will not be too high. Moreover, Wenyang Bank is at the forefront of all banks. If they miss such an important opportunity for development, it will be an important opportunity for others. Think of this

, Xiao He took the initiative to find Ying Yu and put forward his opinion. After a series of discussions, the two decided on today's meeting.

"Chairman, you're welcome. This is what I, the director, must do within the scope of my responsibilities. This is where my responsibilities lie." Xiao He said modestly.

"Haha. Director Xiao is a trustworthy person." Ying Yu said with a smile. Hearing such an evaluation, Xiao He nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted such an evaluation.

"Speaking of it, this station is a talent. I think such a talent will be of great help to us. The goals of steel and railway development he proposed are of great help to our strategic choices." Xiao He

Speaking of.

"Well. This is indeed a talent. The railway does require a lot of iron and steel. Not only that, but also a large amount of construction industry. It is not only being built in Guanzhong of Qin State, Xinzheng of South Korea, but also Wei State and Zhao State.

Handan, these places need development. If they develop, the demand for steel will increase. It seems that we provide sufficient steel. This is indeed the focus we should pay attention to." Ying Yu nodded.

"Chairman, we need to pay attention to the development of the steel industry next. We need to concentrate on the layout and form several important steel production areas. With the demand for these steels, we can quickly expand our capital. In addition, for

For railways, if we focus on steel, there will be a considerable lack of funds for railway projects. I think we can cooperate with other banks on this issue. After all, our energy is very limited." Xiao He continued.

arrive.

"Yes. You are right. Our energy is very limited. The steel industry is a huge industry and the capital expenditure required is far beyond our imagination. Once we focus on steel, it will be difficult to withdraw funds in a short time.

Therefore, our funds for railway projects will be much weaker, not only for trade investors," Ying Yu said.

"Seeking cooperation and cooperating with those Qin Guanzhong banks is indeed a good way." Ying Yu nodded.

"Chairman, I think it is not limited to the Guanzhong Bank of Qin, but also many local banks, such as the Korean Royal Bank in Xinzheng, South Korea, and the Royal Bank of Zhao. These banks can all cooperate.

If we cooperate with them, we only need to provide a small part of the funds to solve this problem. We don't need most of the equity, but we only need to earn what we should earn from future railway investments." Xiao He suggested.

"Yes." Ying Yu nodded and agreed. After all, the purpose of Wenyang Bank's investment in the railway is actually to expand the demand for steel, because only when the demand for steel is opened up can the demand be further increased.

Dongjiao Village on the outskirts of the east city of Handan, Zhao State.

"Congratulations. Congratulations. Your flour mill has expanded a lot." An old man smiled and congratulated a middle-aged man.

"Uncle Yu, you are too polite." The middle-aged man hurriedly saluted.

"Haha, I watched you come here step by step, well done." Uncle Yu kept praising you.

"Uncle Yu thinks highly of me, Mao Yang, so let me grind some flour for everyone for free today." Mao Yang said happily.

"Okay." Everyone cheered when they heard this.

With the promotion of wheat and stone mills, flour has been widely accepted by various countries in the Kanto region. The fields that were previously cultivated for millet have also been replaced by wheat. In addition, the price of wheat in Qin is very cheap. You can buy it for less than two and a half taels.

One stone, this price is very cheap. Although the price of flour is a bit more expensive, the price of wheat has not increased much. There is a large amount of wheat accumulation on the farms of Qin State, while the land annexation of Zhao State is very serious, and a large amount of land

noble

The annexation became their land. The wheat grown on these lands was not as good as Qin's farms. If sold, it was not as good as Qin's wheat. This caused a lot of land to become barren, because if the nobles planted wheat, they could not sell it.

Zhao State imports wheat from Qin State with zero tariff. The price of wheat grown on the land of nobles in Zhao State is much higher than the price of wheat in Qin State. Therefore, most of Zhao State's land is barren, but no wheat is grown.

Faced with the low-priced wheat from Qin, Zhao continued to import it to meet domestic food needs. However, wheat could only be further processed into flour. Zhao accepted most of Qin's wheat, and some remote farms could use stone.

Grinding is used to complete the processing of flour, but close to towns, especially large towns like Handan, most people do not have time to grind into flour. This has formed a new industry in the suburbs.

Industry, flour mills, Zhao people continued to import wheat from Qin, and then transported it to these mills for processing into wheat. At first, these mills also used manpower, but the demand was very strong and the manpower could not be met, and then donkeys were used. This is

The donkeys imported from the Qin State gradually could not meet the demand, because there were many people grinding flour every day. Wheat noodles had become the staple food of the Zhao people, and millet had been eliminated.

Mao Yang developed under such conditions. He saw that many people had no time to grind flour because they were rushing to work, especially in some textile factories, which mainly made blended fabrics. After the shoe factories recruited female workers, they

There is an even greater shortage of labor. Before, women could grind flour at home, but as factories opened and female workers were recruited,

, women walked out of the house and became an important labor force, because the wages paid by factories were much better than grinding flour at home. As a result, a large number of mills were needed in the city to grind flour. But based on the current grinding capacity of mills

In terms of efficiency, there is still a big gap. Because most mills still use manpower, after all, manpower costs nothing.

Only a small number of mills use donkeys. Although the efficiency of using donkeys has improved a lot, feeding donkeys also costs money. After many mills have calculated the cost, they still use manpower. After all, manpower is more cost-effective.

It was under such circumstances that Mao Yang developed. He relied on manpower to grind noodles at the beginning. The couple grinded noodles non-stop all day long. Even the children who were still fifteen or sixteen years old also participated, but they still could not satisfy the grinding requirements.

The demand for noodles was still huge. Mao Yang later saw someone using a donkey to grind noodles, and he also bought it.

He bought a donkey, and his efficiency improved a lot. After a period of accumulation, one donkey turned into several donkeys, and his mill merged with several nearby mills. This gave him some money on hand. With this money,

He went to Guanzhong of Qin State and planned to buy more donkeys to expand his mill, but he saw

When he arrived at the flour mill that used machines to process flour. The amount of flour processed in one day was the workload of hundreds of donkeys for several days. He was shocked when he saw such a machine. So after he went back, he got rid of several of his mills.

, and then borrowed the rest from the bank to buy a flour-grinding machine. He believed that the machine would eventually fight

Better than those donkeys. So he opened the first flour mill in Zhao. In this way, he occupied a larger share of the flour milling market. This is definitely a result that other mills have never thought of. This is also

An important process for Mao Yang's personal development. Although this process is difficult, it is enough to convince everyone.
