Rise of the Argentine Empire

It has to be said that Massara of the brewery is indeed a talent. After Saint-Jose's "guidance," he has already created several versions of methods in the laboratory and is constantly experimenting.

And it must be said, this guy is also very stubborn. It's a pity Lucifer didn't go into human resources, the people he recruited in Rosario are all very useful.

"Boss, our pineapple beer will soon be in mass production. The taste of the No. 1 and No. 2 experimental products that are rapidly fermented is relatively poor, and I will continue to improve it. Tomorrow, the No. 3 and No. 4 fermented finished products will also mature soon," Massara said with some regret.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, keep up the good work. If you need any help, I will help. Whether it's money or raw materials, you don't need to worry about it. I'll arrange a bonus for you then."

Time is indeed a bit tight. Although there is Saint-Jose's guidance, it is a bit difficult to develop a new thing.

Creating miracles once or twice is okay, most people rely on accumulation.

During this period, with Saint-Jose's high-amount of capital injection, the six factories in Maria Town under his command have developed fairly well, taking a small step on the road to diversification.

Except for the garment textile factory, which is a relatively unexpected industry, the others are industries that he consciously entered, and the market competition is not too great. The fireworks factory is simply unique.

Of these 5 factories, except for the mold factory, the other factories have already made profits. This is great news. Saint-Jose looked at the production plan reports and financial statements they provided, and they were indeed doing well.

The sales revenue speed of each factory is also quite fast.

When the time comes, there will be funds to set up a mining company. Saint-Jose authorized Guerrero to start recruiting troops in Oran City to achieve self-expansion.

If the mining company can be successfully established, it will be able to support the expanded Viper Squad. Saint-Jose's goal for them is to break through one hundred members.

Thunder Cross controls the current small workshop production of the salt lake, and the purity of the raw materials produced is generally average.

It still needs to be refined, and this salt lake not only contains potassium chloride, but also other important mineral resources are being wasted in vain.

Black River Valley has already been firmly grasped, and the powerful Viper Squad has begun to attract people to join.

In order to better coordinate and take into account, so that it can develop steadily after he leaves, Saint-Jose plans to integrate the factories under his command.

… …

The current situation of each factory is as follows.

Sean, the person in charge of the explosives factory and fireworks factory located outside the town, has been much quieter recently. The growth rate of fireworks orders has stopped.

The total number of fireworks orders has exceeded 100,000 boxes, which is a very amazing achievement. Among them, government agencies have purchased nearly one-third, in order to celebrate the President's re-election ceremony, and also to pray for Mrs. Biron, which quickly drove the development of the factory's order quantity.

The original number of workers was not enough. The explosives factory still needs to be developed. The new fireworks factory must have its own employees.

Saint-Jose directly gave him the authority to recruit 150 new employees locally, one after another.

The total number of people in the two factories combined is almost 260. His main job every day is to work hard to train them, and complete the fireworks orders on the premise of safety and ensuring quality.

Saint-Jose should have equipped him with a few clever assistants and increased his salary, and he no longer clamored for a new factory director.

"Boss, I think it's not impossible for me to sit in the position of factory director, as long as the fertilizer plant is launched, I will definitely kill the Sequoia Fertilizer Plant."

"I wish you success soon."

Let the mold factory provide some simple production equipment, and finally the daily output has been increased.

Sean's long-awaited fertilizer plant is still under construction.

Various equipment is still being negotiated, purchased and shipped in Germany, taking the Brazilian transportation route, and then transshipped to the country.

This whole set of new equipment, costing a full 7 million US dollars, will be transported from the port of Germany.

It will take another month to send it to Rio de Janeiro, and then transport it to the country for installation. Sean's daily work is to look forward to the arrival of the fertilizer plant equipment.

Saint-Jose deeply understands Sean's nagging, but he really has nothing to say in terms of doing things, he is rigorous and pays attention to production safety.

… …

Philip, the person in charge of the mold factory, is also doing a good job. This descendant of an English gentleman manages the factory in an orderly manner, and the production tasks are also completed very well. If it weren't for his Spanish with a translator's accent, it would be a bit out of place, making Saint-Jose think he was a German-Argentine.

"Dear Mr. Saint-Jose, I believe that under your leadership, our mold factory will definitely develop better. Fortunately, our factory is currently developing well, thank you for your generosity."

Saint-Jose pays the employees of the mold factory much higher wages. These all require technology. Saint-Jose is not stingy in this regard, he is quite generous, otherwise he would not be able to recruit people at all.

Regarding Philip's two completely different impressions, this is actually a stereotype formed by Saint-Jose in his previous life. In his previous life, various propaganda, Germans are meticulous and conscientious, and the conscientious sewers have buried a package of colonial-era oil paper bags and other things, which is widely publicized.

There are also great power craftsmen and the like. In contrast, the British are too scattered and have too many frivolous operations. Saint-Jose feels that his dogmatic thinking has been subverted, which is completely different from what he imagined.

In fact, Germany's sewers are not very developed, and floods are quite common. This is what Kross told Saint-Jose. In the process of industrialization and urbanization,

The ground construction caused by rapid urbanization is much faster than the underground construction, but as long as the municipal government's financial investment is sufficient, remedial lessons can be done quickly. After all, that kind of urbanization and industrialization is really unique in human history, and it far exceeds the sewers of German cities, it can only be said that the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

Faced with the US trade blockade against Argentina, now only Western Europe has the ability to export equipment. Strictly speaking, only three countries are left, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Fourth Republic and the United Kingdom, of which the Federal Republic of Germany has developed the fastest after the war and is the most urgent for trade exports. France and the United Kingdom are undergoing nationalization, and the number of exported mechanical equipment is not large.

The employees of the beverage factory are the most in the Maria Town factory, and they are in the same large factory area as the brewery, with more than 1,300 people, of which the beverage factory has nearly 1,000 people, and the number of people in the brewery is still increasing.

The person in charge of the beverage factory has been decided, it is the current Kross of the Plari factory. He is loyal and flexible, and the Plari factory is indeed doing well.

Now Saint-Jose occasionally manages the beverage factory himself, and Massara is doing a great job in the brewery, and has a lot of insights.

Production has been on the right track, several production supervisors have been promoted, a quality inspection supervisor has been promoted, and the departments have been subdivided to achieve self-management.

Saint-Jose has decided to persuade Sean of the glass factory to open a branch in Maria Town when he returns to Coco. If the negotiation breaks down, he will open a glass bottle factory himself, otherwise it will be too troublesome to transport beer bottles every day, and it will also take time.

The Blue Cloud Textile Factory hasn't started operations yet. Textile equipment can be produced domestically, but it's a bit rough, and the procurement and production cycle is a bit long.

Coupled with the drought, cotton production has decreased, and the drought in the grasslands has also reduced sheep production, so it's quite troublesome. Saint Heth even doubts whether he should have ventured into this industry. Is he trying to do too much too soon?

Fortunately, there are enough funds now. If a suitable factory director can be recruited and new equipment is purchased, coupled with the country's abundant and cheap wool and cotton, it will definitely develop well. Maria Town also has a foundation in the textile industry and textile workers.

The orders for the Blue Cloud Garment Factory are already enough to support two factories. Saint Heth had Lin Yun and her older sister recruit several shop assistants to open a women's clothing store as a display.

Using memories from later generations, he specifically drew several classic 20th-century clothing styles, and also asked Sean to buy the most fashionable clothing from the United States, send it to Brazil, and then transport it back to the country, sending it once a month.

American fashion trends are still very powerful. Although this seems a bit like counterfeiting, it does sell quite well.

He also had Klose send the clothing style drawings he personally drew. After they arrived at the Blue Cloud Garment Factory, a batch of sample clothes were made and displayed in clothing stores in Ke City. Orders were taken, and it turned out to be developing well.

After all, these textile female workers still have skills. As soon as Saint Heth's large number of sewing machines landed at Maria Port, they were all arranged to be sent over.

Since the Maria Soda Factory went into production, the importance of the Pulaari Factory has decreased a lot. In addition, Qingyun Li and Klose have also promoted some people to be responsible for the factory there.

They are already able to adapt to production, so this time Klose is going to hand over the work. Maria Town needs more trustworthy people.

Klose has been conscientious in his work for the past six months and has indeed done a good job.

As for Thunder Cross, there is no need to worry even more. Silver Fox Guerrero will be stationed at the main base in Maria Town, and Aragon will lead the Viper Squad to expand in Oran City. Another person in charge of the mining company will be sent over, and everything should be fine.

……

Saint Heth's method of integrating the factories is to establish a new headquarters in Maria Town to coordinate the development of the factories in Maria Town. The headquarters will be regarded as a planning department to coordinate from within. The department management is composed of these factory directors to achieve self-management.

Every Saturday, the factory directors and deputy factory directors will come to Maria Town for a meeting to form a fixed meeting system to discuss work and formulate plans. The location will be temporarily arranged in Saint Heth's villa in Maria Town.

With Thunder Cross people responsible for armed protection, it will be very safe here.

With Mayor Ke Wo protecting it, it will be very peaceful.

The specific situation must be summarized, and then a unified financial settlement center will be established to firmly grasp the financial power, including the Blue Cloud Garment Factory and the Pulaari Factory in Ke City.

The financial work of the Pulaari Factory is doing well. There are detailed reports every month, and there have been no mistakes. Saint Heth promoted her to be the financial manager of the entire planning department and specially arranged a house for her in Maria Town.

Maria High School has been reopened and many students have returned.

Of course, it is impossible for the finance department to have only one person now. So many factories need more and more powerful financial accounting personnel to form a finance team, and also to contain other departments to prevent the concentration of power.

Personnel power is also one of the most important powers and will not be delegated to the factory. This work can only be applied for by the factory directors before recruitment. Saint Heth established a unified personnel center to be responsible for the recruitment and management of each factory.

Lucifer is a very suitable candidate. He has greater roles and talents. Saint Heth also inserted the remaining intelligence personnel of Thunder Cross into it to be responsible for the control and intelligence work of the entire planning department.

The entire Maria Town is also developing rapidly in a good direction.

……

The production of pineapple beer has not yet started. Saint Heth is more worried about the market for beverages, beer, and fruit beer. There is no other reason, the market is indeed a bit small.

In the future, if he wants to produce fruit wine and white wine, he must talk to Masala properly. The production and brewing of fruit beer is relatively simple, while fruit wine and white wine are different from fruit beer. They require brewing technology. Fruit wine also has a name called cider, a rather awkward name.

Argentina's domestic market is somewhat saturated and needs to find a larger market. Uruguay's market has been taken over by Little Nix, and the development of the three southern states of Brazil has also been put on the agenda. The three southern states of Brazil are a bit special, in that there are still some separatist forces in some places.

Saint Heth's relationship with Brazil is not shallow. Many of the original industrial equipment were transshipped through Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Saint Heth also registered shell companies through intermediaries, and now is the time to turn shell companies into physical companies.

Brazil, as a country with similar strength to Argentina, is now in the era of a military government. Although Bilon is also from the military, he can be regarded as a legitimate elected government.

Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul are places suppressed by Brazil and are somewhat alienated from the central government in Rio de Janeiro. With a large population of ten million, it is a huge market comparable to Argentina, even Paraguay and Bolivia cannot compare. Most importantly, it is very close, and Uruguay has a good relationship with Brazil, so it can be transported directly. The development of southern Brazil is also quite good.

The climate conditions are also quite good. It is a subtropical monsoon climate, similar to Uruguay, and belongs to the Portuguese-speaking region.

Therefore, when Little Nix took over most of the Uruguayan market, Saint Heth was already considering the market in southern Brazil.

Argentina's market is small. If it does not follow an export-oriented industrial development, there is only a dead end. Now Saint Heth cannot expand Argentina's scale by himself. In order to earn the funds to open a steel factory in the future, he must internationalize.

Europe is too far away, and Bolivia and Paraguay are still very poor. Saint Heth's goal is to sell soda to Colombia, which is even further away.

The relationship between the Argentine government and the Brazilian government is average, neither good nor bad.

To sell beer and pineapple beer in Brazil, it must be localized. If the conditions are right, it is best to open a brewery locally.

Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country, so it is best to take a local name so that Saint Heth's beer can be sold better. After all, ethnic beer has a sales boost.

Of course, this still needs to be verified more deeply. Brazil's local breweries are also quite powerful, unlike the useless ones in Argentina. Further competition is also a problem, and these need to be planned well.

Of course, these are too far away. Saint Heth has only nibbled off a small piece of the market in Argentina, but dreams are still necessary.

After arranging the affairs of the factory, Saint Heth also plans to go back to Ke City to visit the commander's house and return the rented pickup truck by the way.

It's been rented for too long, and I don't know how much the rental fee will be.
