The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"What, the king waited for me a long time last night?" Zhang Liang quickly got up after hearing the anxious report from the butler.

"How can you not report it, oh! That's all. Nothing. I'll get up as soon as possible." Zhang Liang said in a panic, put on his clothes and went to see Han Shu, even though it was a long time late. However, Zhang Liang still knows some sequence, and don't panic when encountering major events.

"The prime minister doesn't need to be polite." Zhang Liang hurriedly hurried to Han Shu when he was about to salute. Han Shu has stopped Zhang Liang.

"This time the widow came, it was to apologize to the prime minister, not to let the prime minister come to salute." Han Shu officially stood up and bowed to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was a little panicked.

"This." Zhang Liang didn't know what to do. He didn't understand why Han Shu saluted himself all of a sudden.

"The prime minister's idea is right, and the widow's idea is wrong. The further development of South Korea requires the assistance of the prime minister." Han Shu said after getting up.

"Wang Shang is serious." Zhang Liang said to Han Shu.

"No. The widow is wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong." Han Shu said.

"Come on, the prime minister sits here, there are still many things to discuss with the prime minister." Han Shu said to Zhang Liang. He also signaled Xiao He to prepare, and prepared some hot tea and snacks for Zhang Liang.

After Zhang Liang sat down, Han Shu ordered people to go down.

"I understand what the prime minister meant." Han Shu said.

"Before, I did not do the right thing. After I talked to the prime minister of Qin Guo on the phone. After discussing some ideas, I was the one who worried too much." Han Shu said.

"Before, I always wanted to increase the number of Korean companies, and if they were to increase the number of companies, it would increase the tax revenue of South Korea. However, the consequence of this is that Korean companies are not very competitive, or that they are really competitive. It's too low." Han Shu said.

"Qin's enterprises are very competitive because they also compete with each other internally. Under such a competitive relationship, they naturally become stronger. Although their quantity and quality exceed ours, we in South Korea cannot blindly look at it. The quantity, surpassing Qin in quantity, should surpass in quality. A wolf is more powerful than a herd of sheep, that's the truth. I was wrong before. It is wrong to think that the more the number of Korean companies, the better. Yes, a big mistake." Han Shu lowered his head and said.

"The King." Zhang Liang said.

"You and I know what the current situation of Korean companies is. They are dead and not stiff. It is a half-dead state, and there are many such companies. Although the tax is small, they can't be delayed." Han Shu said.

"Qin's companies are very dynamic and competitive, but South Korean companies are not." Han Shu said.

"Currently, the development of enterprises requires a lot of funds. Although we have many opportunities in front of us, this time, we have to make our enterprises competitive and let them make their own choices. We should not have more intervention. That's it." Han Shu said.

"Yeah." Zhang Liang nodded. He believes that Han Shu's reaction in this way is obviously because he wants to understand something. I understand that what South Korea needs is some competitive companies, not a group of companies, uncompetitive companies. "Han Shu said.

"During the telephone conversation with Prime Minister Qin Guo, we talked about such a thing." Han Shu said at this time.

"This may be able to provide us with a reference for the next step." Han Shu said.

"He said that Qin plans to transfer part of the military production from military enterprises to South Korea and Wei. South Korea may produce parts, such as springs, barrels, and firing devices. These things are produced in accordance with standardization. Then they are transported to Wei for assembly, because Wei’s labor costs are extremely low, and then they are shipped together and transported to the place where they are needed by train. In this way, as long as Qin sets up an office in Xianyang, it can be large-scale. Production." Han Shu said.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Liang couldn't believe that the people of Qin State would actually transfer military production to this, and still in this way. This is definitely shocking news for South Korea.

"Yes." Han Shu nodded.

"It's not just that, Qin Guo has already done so." Han Shu said.

"If this is the case, then this is indeed something that should be taken seriously for us in South Korea." Han Shu said.

"Qin people hope that we have such enterprises to cooperate with them, if possible, but multiple enterprises unite and cooperate, and multiple enterprises form a powerful enterprise, so that they can concentrate their concentrated resources to proceed." Han Shu said .

"Sir, this is indeed an opportunity. For us in Korea, it is definitely an opportunity to grasp. At present, our company only manufactures some light industrial products. For example, clothes, shoes and hats, such things, at most are leather. , But these things are cheap things. Although they can bring great taxes, they are not competitive in the competition between countries. If such military enterprises are introduced to produce, they will only produce parts and components. This can also make great changes to our enterprise. What we process and produce is no longer simple things like shoes and hats, but can process and produce some mechanical things, which are more valuable than shoes and hats. , And can form a strong competitiveness. This is a very challenging project for South Korea." Zhang Liang said.

"Indeed, I think so too." Han Shu said.

"However, specific cooperation also requires financial help. After all, multiple companies must unite, how much capital they contribute, and how much they allocate. These all need to be deployed. Perhaps finance can solve this problem. In addition to these. I. I also thought of some things." Han Shu paused.

"We cooperate with the people of Qin. Perhaps the people of Qin also hope that our company can be listed, or to be able to trade shares. Such things as controlling shares, or investing in capital, etc., Qin people are still willing to do, as long as the people of Qin are willing to do this in finance. If we do, we can gather a lot of funds, introduce technology and equipment, and these problems can be solved." Han Shu said.

"Chen's idea is like this." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. It seems that the prime minister thought about me before, but I did think wrong before," Han Shu said.

"The king. I'm overwhelmed." Zhang Liang said.

"No, no. What the Prime Minister said is indeed such a fact." Han Shu said.

"Furthermore, the prime minister was the first to think of using finance. I can't." Han Shu shook his head and said.

"My lord, the minister also heard that the state of Qin was going to start business in finance, so the minister thought about it. Before, the minister's behavior was really disrespectful to the king." Zhang Liang said.

"Okay. These are all over. These are my faults." Han Shu said.

"Tell us what Qin people think next?" Han Shu asked at this time.

"Your Majesty, Chen thinks this way. Qin currently needs to transfer some enterprises or production lines with higher production costs. In this case, we in South Korea can get these things from the people of Qin. We think that the high-tech can imitate and learn. If the technology is not high, we can go to Wei State." Zhang Liang said.

"But how will specific financial cooperation be carried out?" Han Shu asked a key question.

"The minister believes that this matter should not be interfered too much. The minister heard that the state of Qin is now practising liberalism, that is, the government is under control and the enterprises do it themselves. Such things, the minister believes, should be handed over to businessmen. Enterprise organizations let them go by themselves." Zhang Liang said.

"In other words, in the future, I will have less control, only guidance, not pressure testing." Han Shu said.

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded.

"Yes, just do it, and let our company do it on its own." Han Shu said.

"I don't care about things like this in the future," Han Shu said.

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Liang said.

"Prime Minister, can I go to court tomorrow?" Han Shu then asked with a smile.

"This. Chen." Zhang Liang lowered his head.

"Haha. The prime minister can't do this in the future. If there is any problem, you can directly report it to me. This matter is still my fault. If there is a mistake, the prime minister can tell it directly, and I will definitely not be angry anymore." Han Shu Speaking to Zhang Liang.

"Thanks to the king." Zhang Liang saluted.

"I want to thank the prime minister." Han Shu said. Zhang Liang saluted again.

Inside the office building of the Li's Armory in Xianyang, Qin State.

"The government has approved our request. We can put the flintlock production line in South Korea, the country of Wei, and if necessary, we can also put it in the country of Zhao." A director of the Xianyang arsenal under Li You told Li. By the report.

"En." Li You nodded.

"Is the production of bullets like this?" Li You asked.

"Yes, the Prime Minister's Mansion has already issued the order. It is a direct order, and the documents from the Ministry of National Defense can be taken down today." The director told Li You.

"En." Li You nodded.

"In this matter, where do you think our flintlock production is more appropriate?" Li You asked.

"This." The director glanced at Li You.

"Go ahead, say it boldly." Li You encouraged.

"My suggestion is to separate the production lines." The director said at this time.

"En. Go on." Li You continued.

"At present, the main cost of flintlock production cannot be reduced, mainly because our production speed is suppressed in manual assembly. The assembly of triggers and some parts is manual. And I heard that there are many people in the Wei country because of the war. The reason for this is that many Wei people have fled their homes, and they have nothing. In the Wei refugee camp, they need a job, but the number of jobs that South Korea can provide is very limited, so they need work, as long as we give For a certain salary, they will do it. I think it’s possible to do 16 hours a day. Moreover, there are temporary railway operations in Wei. We can completely put the parts production in South Korea. Ship it directly to the country of Wei, let the people of the country of Wei assemble, and then after the assembly is completed, it can be directly transported to the Western Regions. Currently, guns are mainly needed in the Western Regions." said the director.

"En." Li You nodded.

"You are right, we only need to put the office or the trading station on the market." Li You said.

"Moreover, we should not put the musket market in one place in the Western Regions. It used to be Chu’s market. Chu needed a lot of muskets. Now the market situation in Chu is a bit bad. We can move to another aspect. For example, the Western Regions. , But if the market in the Western Regions does not work in the future, you must know that the biggest enemy of our Li’s arsenal is not Chu people, nor are they Koreans, but the Wei people, but Wenyang arsenal. This Wenyang arsenal, they have extremely complicated The company’s operating system has many means. If they intervene in this matter, our situation will be very bad. Their production capacity can be expanded quickly, and we are just an arsenal. It’s just an arsenal." Li You Speaking of.

"Yes. Chairman." said the factory director.

"We are just an arsenal. We produce weapons, weapons, food, and clothes. These things are not the same. Who fights every day, and there is very little demand. Not only that, but we have a terrible opponent, the Wenyang arsenal. The scale of production is ten times that of ours. If they produce at full capacity, the market will soon be saturated. If we cannot occupy the market as soon as possible, the situation will be very dangerous. Our Li's arsenal will be in a state of affairs. Very dangerous situation." The factory director continued.

"Yes." Li You said worriedly.

"We will free up the funds as soon as possible and transfer to South Korea, Wei Guo." Li You said.

"However, we still lack a lot of funds. If we want to obtain more funds, we can only mortgage our shares to the bank to obtain sufficient funds." The director suggested.

"Yes." Li You said.

"Not only that, but we must also actively develop some markets. Our eyes should not only focus on one direction, such as the East. The Qi State in the East, there are unexpected places in Qi State, and in addition, there is also Chu In the unexpected place of Chu Kingdom, we should not only give them guns, but also provide them with some artillery, so that the craftsmanship of the artillery can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and the artillery can be made lighter. Give more artillery. The other is to increase New gunpowder, or ignition device." Li You said.

"We have to find a way to increase the potential of our current products. If this is not possible, our situation will be very dangerous in the future. We do this, Wenyang Bank will do this soon, and their products will expand rapidly. ." Li You said.

"We will not be able to resist it at all in the future," said the director.

"So, we will find a way as soon as possible to expand our production scale. We should increase the research on some new weapons, such as heavy artillery, and new rifles. The production scale is still a weakness for us. "Li You said.

Compared with Wenyang Arsenal, Li You Arsenal always lags behind Wenyang Bank in the scale of the Arsenal. In addition, Wenyang Bank has a series of factories to support, such as chemical, steel, automobile, machinery manufacturing, etc., the comprehensive capabilities of these factories It has reduced a lot of production costs, and its scale is much larger than that of Li’s Arsenal. Wenyang Bank has sufficient funds for development. Unlike Li You’s Li’s Arsenal, when doing a project, it often encounters lack of funds. Under the circumstances, the shares of Li’s Arsenal are often mortgaged, and funding gaps often appear, which keeps the situation of Li’s Arsenal in a tense state.

"Chairman, I think that in the future we'd better be able to buy several factories, such as automobiles, or other industries. We will adopt a joint development path, so that we can have a way out." The director continued.

"I understand what you mean. In the future, weapons may be combined with artillery and cars, or combined with tractors, or combined with ships, or combined with airplanes and so on. In this way, our weapons can be produced. Many." Li You said.

"However, we lack a large amount of capital, and the capital gap simply cannot merge these companies." Li You said.

"If possible, I think, in the future, I also want to do a lot of such things, but it is not enough. In the future, in the future, maybe we will have a chance in the future." Li You said.

"Chairman, I think that at present, the Ministry of National Defense is thinking of ways to increase the mobility of the Qin Army. Now, I think this is an opportunity for us to cooperate with those auto manufacturers. If the cooperation can be produced, this will be for us. Great influence." The director suggested.

"En." Li You nodded.

"That's right. You are right. Alright. You make a plan." Li You said.

At the request of the Ministry of National Defense, the State of Qin is thinking of ways to improve the overall mobility of the Qin army. However, if this is really done, the fiscal budget will be greatly expanded. In this case, the finances will definitely not be able to support it. Therefore, The Ministry of National Defense can only shift the goal to the construction of small units, that is, to improve the special operations capabilities of small units, especially special teams, and improve their projection capabilities, such as the use of aircraft with greater range and speed, airships, or Yes, the use of automobiles, armored vehicles, etc. that can continue to maneuver combat operations are the research directions of Qin's military.

But these are some experimental projects, and a lot of things need to be done for the real popularization, for example, the power of the engine is improved. Because the power of the engine can never rise to a high level, the stability and durability of the machine are still poor. In addition, because there is no rubber, the speed cannot be increased. The speed of the locomotive using crawlers cannot be increased, and the speed is not as good. Some ethnic minority cavalry units, therefore, Qin needs to study a lot.

Wenyang Bank headquarters.

"How's the Zhao State noble side?" Yingyu asked Lu Fei.

"The nobles are still waiting and watching, but the price of gold has fallen a lot, and it is basically stable at around 100 gold, but from the future trend, it will fall." Lu said.

"En. The nobles wait and see, it is a good thing for us. They continue to wait like this, but it is beneficial to us. The price of gold will fall in the future. They will hold it like this." Yingyu said.

"It's just the future, how should we invest?" Yingyu said at this time.

"In the future, there are many things we need to do. However, the next investment direction is those. We can enter steel and cement industries, and other factories and enterprises will also enter. After all, cement, steel, and technical thresholds are not very high. Big. We can build factories in these countries. So can they.” Yingyu looks at it from a long-term perspective.

"Chairman, I think that we can do other industries in the future, not necessarily focusing on steel and cement. Although the development needs of these two industries are great at present, we can expand without limit, but the threshold of this industry Relatively low, we can do it, and others can do it too." Lu Fei said.

"En." Yingyu nodded.

"You are right about this." Yingyu said.

"Just, what do you think is the direction of our future development?" Yingyu asked.

"Well, I think it should be electricity. At present, only one place in the central area has electricity. There is no electricity in other places. Electricity must be widely used, and a lot of new metal materials, such as aluminum, are needed. Light and thin. To make various pots and other utensils, aluminum is also widely used anyway." Lu said.

"En." Yingyu nodded.

"At this point, you are right." Yingyu said.

"Study these things. On the one hand, we are starting from the present and in the future. We must also prepare for the benefits of early preparation. If we do not have a long-term view to look at future problems, we will not be able to develop. That's it." Yingyu said.

"Okay. Just get ready to prepare." Yingyu said.

"En." Lu Fei nodded.

Yingyu thought about the future. I think I should go to Shangwen to talk about ideas.

The Palace of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.

"Wei hopes that we can give more investment in the future and build a large number of factories to go to Wei." Meng Yi said.

"There has been no movement from Chu State, mainly because the communication situation is not good yet." Meng Yi continued.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Isn't Zhao Guo moving yet?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"No." Meng Yi said.

"The nobles still hold a large amount of gold in their hands, and the price of gold is still falling, but it has fallen less." Meng Yi said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"It seems that it's not bad." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that we still have many opportunities to make a fortune in the future." Shang Wen said.

"At present, Qin needs a lot of development, and there are many opportunities. If there is no sufficient liquidity in hand, I think the nobles will be dispatched sooner or later." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Wait patiently. Look at the actions of the royal family. If there are new actions on the royal family's side, I think the nobles will be dispatched all at once, wait a minute. Before the storm comes, it is very quiet." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi. To.
