The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 2119: reduce manufacturing cost
"This." Ju Qi said with some embarrassment.
"Weapons and equipment must be provided to us." Li Ma said.
"But, in this case, I need to spend a lot of money, and I don't have enough money." Ju Qi said more embarrassingly. After all, if he did this, his money would be spent, so he was naturally unwilling. In doing so, he will spend more money. And the other party doesn't know if it can guarantee to occupy more land.
"We are willing to use more land in exchange for it." Li Ma said.
"This." Ju Qi looked at Li Ma in embarrassment, he was thinking carefully about the pros and cons.
"If you don't provide me with enough weapons and equipment, I won't be able to occupy all of these lands for you. I can guarantee that after occupying more land, I will give you more land. The price is absolutely right. ." Li Ma said.
Ju Qi still didn't speak, he felt that he would still suffer a lot if he did so.
Seeing Ju hesitated and didn't believe it, Li Ma was also very worried. After all, what the other party provides is weapons and equipment, and with such a large amount of weapons and equipment, it would be detrimental to the other party to deal with the other party in turn. Thought of this. Li Ma is eager to acquire weapons and equipment. Then made an amazing decision.
"I pledge my tribe to you." Li Ma said at this time.
"What?" Ju Qi said in surprise.
"I pledge my tribe to you, and you provide me with weapons. In this case, you can rest assured. If I can't provide you with land, you can deal with our tribes casually. This should always be possible. Come on." Li Ma said firmly. It seems that there is only such a way to achieve the possibility of getting equipment.
"This. What do I want your tribe to do? And, with the population of these tribes. This is really embarrassing for me." Ju Qi said.
"Your tribe has such a large population. They need to eat and wear, and I have to lose money. I can't do nothing." Ju Qi said with a wave of hands at this time.
"This. It's true." Li Ma said.
"Then what do you say? I have to think of a way. If there is no way, my tribe can't survive. It's better to sell all the tribes to you." Li Ma said embarrassingly.
"Okay. I also know that Mr. Li is in trouble." Ju Qi stepped back and said at this time.
"There are things you can't worry about. The more you worry, the less you can solve the problem. I will go back and think about this problem. If it can be solved, I will come to you to solve it, and you must also think about a solution. If it really doesn't work, Give it a try too." Ju Qi said.
"This. What Mr. Ju said is." Li Ma nodded and agreed. And Ju Ke said goodbye immediately, and Ju Ke was thinking about this matter carefully on the way back.
If you mortgage it to your own tribe, you will have to bear the living expenses of which tribe. This figure is definitely not small. Moreover, he didn't know how much favor the Huns had for their tribe. The most important thing was that after the other party got a lot of weapons and equipment, it would be bad for him to switch his guns to deal with him. These nomadic tribes will do everything for profit. At this point, Ju had to guard against.
But if you don't do this, the situation will be dead, and if you don't take a step back, no one will benefit. The Qin government has great demands for the northern land, but it will never use Qin’s military power to fight for it, because doing so will increase military expenditures and bring many problems, such as the disposal of prisoners of war, defense, and logistics materials. Road construction, and so on, these things are the thinking of those soldiers. The burden of military expenditure is very large.
However, the government clearly proposed a plan to purchase land. In other words, in the land purchase plan, the investment is fixed. Then, under such capital conditions, how to obtain these land to the maximum extent is what their businessmen should operate.
Use these tribes that are difficult to survive to capture these tribes, this plan is the best. Because if you provide a little material, you can use these troops to seize the land, and you can start more things with the land. But the problem is that after the land is provided to the other party, there will be great security risks. Such hidden dangers make him feel very embarrassed because he cannot control these Huns.
"Oh, let's go to the bank and see what the bank can do." Ju Qi said, shaking his head at this time. Thinking of this, he felt a very headache. For these problems, he didn't know how to solve them.
Inside the border bank of the eastern Mongolian state in the north of Qin State. There are very few people in the hall. They are all dealing with small business, and people with big business are waiting on the second floor. Ju Qi walked directly to the second floor.
"Mr. Ju." Ju Qi saw his business partner Chen Jun as soon as he arrived on the second floor.
"Oh. Mr. Chen. How is your railway business? Why are you free now?" Ju Qi smiled and walked over and said. Chen Jun is in the railway business, and he has invested in a railway company. The railway is currently under construction. The main section of the railway is extended to the north along the Monan Railway. The current military value of this section of the railway is very large, and the commercial value is also under development.
"Oh, it's not so good. Sit down. Sit down and talk about it together. Maybe we can find any business opportunities." Chen Jun pulled Ju Qi at once. The bank manager brought tea.
"What have you been up to now, buddy?" Chen Jun asked at this time.
"It's nothing. Just doing business with some tribes, they need a lot of things, some daily necessities, they can't make much money." Ju Qi said.
"Oh. Although this kind of business is small, it is very stable and makes a lot of money." Chen Jun said.
"Talk about your railway business, I want to hear it. After all, I heard that this railway business is very good." Ju Qi said.
"Not so good." Upon hearing this, Chen Jun immediately shook his head and said.
"Oh. Why is this." Ju Qi asked.
"This railway, the investment is too much, railroad tracks, sleepers, this is a piece of land, and the land is also a piece of land. The land in Monan is owned, and the land in Mobei is unowned. The government can only support you half, if not these The income from the railway land, our dividends are not very good." Chen Jun said.
"Oh. That's the way it turns out." Ju Qi nodded.
"What else?" Ju Qi asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Also, this railway requires a lot of labor. Although we have recruited some labor from the Wei and Chu states, it is still not enough. The labor cost we pay is not low, but the progress is slow. This section of the railway construction Many things do not have infrastructure, water sources, and places to live. In this way, the problem is really big. Many people can't bear the hardship and dare not dare. Those who do want us to pay more, we build the railway It hasn’t been completed yet, so I can’t make much money at all. No, let’s take a mortgage. Or come to see what the bank can do. I heard that recent banks have increased investment business. I’m here to give it a try." Chen Jun said to Ju.
"Investment business? What is this?" Ju Qi asked.
"Oh. It's the bank's capital contribution, no mortgage is needed. They occupy a certain amount of shares in proportion to the capital contribution. At the same time, your company must be listed within a certain period of time. If it is not listed, the rest of the shares are owned by other banks. This It is very beneficial to the bank. I have also heard about this. Shareholders asked me to ask and give it a try. After all, the railway needs too much capital. With such a large capital demand, I have to give it a try." Chen Jun said.
"Oh. It turned out to be such a thing." Ju Qi nodded and said.
"Anyway, for railway matters, the future profit will definitely be profit, but the current business is not good. There is still no way." Chen Jun said worriedly.
"You just said that labor is a problem for the construction of this railway?" Ju Qi asked at this time. Because he thought of a way, because there are a large number of adult men in the tribe that can be used, if it can, it is also possible to drive them to the railway, it is really impossible, if they expand northward, they can also capture a large number of slaves, this It is a vision of Ju Qi.
"Oh. This is indeed a problem." Chen Jun said.
"You also know that these slaves are very nervous. In recent years, there have been fewer wars. The slaves mainly rely on prisoners of war. Without them, the problem is very huge." Chen Jun said.
“Building a railway requires a lot of labor, and recruitment cannot solve the fundamental problem. This problem has never been solved. For this reason, we have already spent a large part of the cost. If this problem can be solved, it will be a problem for us. , Can be regarded as a great help." Chen Jun said.
"Yeah." Ju Qi listened patiently, but he recognized a business opportunity. The railway company needed a lot of cheap labor. Where cheap labor comes from, it is natural that the slaves constituted by prisoners of war are the most important thing. The problem is that there are few places to fight now. Without war, naturally there would be no prisoners of war. Ju and carefully thought about it. Since a large number of prisoners of war are needed, it is enough to find them. At this time, Ju Qi thought of what happened just now. If the Xiongnu tribe wants to occupy more land, they must expand northward, and the northward expansion is constantly robbing the northern population. In this case, part of the prisoner of war problem can be solved, but in this way, part of the funds will still be needed, and part of the risk will need to be transferred. After all, the other party has no collateral, and the risk after the Huns get the equipment is also very large. this point. Ju and very clear.
"So, how do you get the bank's investment, how does this work?" Ju Qi asked at this time.
"Oh. This, this is what we learned from Guanzhong. We sold 35 percent of the shares in exchange for financial support from the bank. This proportion of shares will become the largest shareholder. In this case, the bank will actually Become the leader of this company." Chen Jun said.
"This." Ju Qi said very worried.
"Don't worry, I know what you want to say, isn't this handing over the company to the bank?" Chen Jun said at this time.
"As long as we jointly hold 51% of the shares, the company will still be ours. Not only that, but we promised that our company must be listed within three years, so that the bank will do it as soon as possible. With the return of funds, they will quickly sell the shares in their hands, and at that time, we must have made money. With the money, we can buy back the shares, so that the bank can leave our company. Our ownership No big changes have taken place." Chen Jun said.
"Well. This method is very good. It is also very practical." Ju Qi said with a smile. In this case, in fact, it will solve a big funding problem for him. With sufficient funds, he can do even greater things. However, there is still no good way to solve the problem of the northern expansion of the Huns in the north. If these Huns cannot be effectively controlled, they can easily cause huge losses. At this point, there is really no confidence in my heart.
The next two people said a lot, but none of them were involved in larger business affairs. But Jue’s solution is still not a good solution.
Qin State Xianyang.
High-level meeting of Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company.
"The processing cost of some of our parts is too high. The transportation cost cannot be reduced, and these are causing our business conditions to be unsatisfactory." Cui Yi introduced.
"For example." Qin Jun looked at Cui Yi and asked him to give an example. Cui Yi is the production director, mainly responsible for some production issues. Qin Jun is the general manager. He is responsible for the entire processing plant. The Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company mainly produces various motor vehicles, engines, and related accessories. They are involved in all related production of automobiles.
"For example, the production of screws, gears, and some cylinders. These things can greatly reduce production costs." Cui Yi said.
"How to reduce production costs?" Qin Jun asked in detail. Pegasus Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Company encountered serious production problems. Because the stalls were too large, they needed to assemble various parts and components for a complete motor vehicle, which caused them to produce all parts and set up many production lines. The price of the final assembled product remains high and it is very difficult to sell. The income is not very optimistic. If it were not for the hot railway project and they processed some parts of the train, it might be difficult for their factory to operate. For this reason, Qin Jun visited many grass-roots units. He wanted to know, yes. There is no way to reduce costs and expand the profits of the factory. If this continues, their factory is likely to close down. This is definitely not a situation that everyone wants to see.
"Outsource some unnecessary parts, let them process them, and then ship them back, or set up a large-scale assembly plant in a certain place, and assemble and sell them locally. In this case, our processing costs and transportation costs It will reduce a lot." Cui Yi said.
"Oh." Qin Jun saw the feasibility.
"No. If you do this, it will cause big problems." At this moment, the product quality director on the side objected.
"Let him finish, maybe it is the problem we need to solve." Qin Jun said to the quality director.
"Okay. You can go on." Qin Jun said with a smile.
"Yes, manager, many of our products do not need to be produced by ourselves. For example, gears, operating rods, and load-bearing frames are very simple and can be processed with a little training, and we are still doing this. Our labor costs are very high, the space for improving processing efficiency is very limited, and the repeated transportation of materials, in this case, our costs will increase invisibly." Cui Yi said. Qin Jun nodded, he also recognized this, because in his opinion, this is indeed one of the main drawbacks of the current problem.
“I heard that the Li’s Arsenal put some parts in Wei, Korea to produce, they produce core parts, such as gun barrels, or other things. These things are standard, we only need to send a part of the technology The backbone, strictly controlling the technical indicators, can achieve the common use of these parts. After all, we are all standardized production. This is easy to do." Cui Yi said.
"Where do you think it is more appropriate to put these parts production plants?" Qin Jun asked at this time.
"Zhao country. Especially in Handan area, where there are a lot of iron factories, they produce quite a lot of cast iron, pig iron, these iron can be processed into what we want with certain processing equipment." Cui Yi said .
"Yeah. Not bad." Qin Jun nodded and said.
"If you do this, you can also save a lot of transportation costs. We produce on-site, close to the source of raw materials, and Zhao Guo’s labor pay is very cheap. As long as we hire them, they can solve our labor to a large extent. The problem is that the cost of processing has dropped a lot at once." Cui Yi said.
"Well. It's just that, it will require a lot of funds. Our current financial situation cannot support us to expand some more factories. If we expand the factory, it will be very unfavorable to our financial situation." The quality director on the side said.
"Although we are implementing standardized production, we don't know if Zhao Guoren can do it. If they can't, what will be the result? Our investment was wasted." The quality director said worriedly.
"But I think this is a great help for us to reduce costs. At present, our factory is not efficient. It is because there are too many stalls. These stalls are too large and many of them are useless, which will greatly hinder our profitability. In this case, it is very unfavorable to us." Qin Jun said.
“It’s okay for us to have our own advantages in some key areas. There is no need to spend too much energy, manpower, material resources, and a lot of financial resources on projects where we do not have advantages. If we can save such a cost, I Thinking of a factory is not a problem for us. If Zhao Guo workers cannot make such powerful parts, we will lose a lot. After all, our funds have been invested." The quality director on the side told Zhao Guo factory I feel very skeptical about the level of production.
"This point. I don't think we need to worry about it, because the products and parts we give them have a certain level of technology, and we will never let them do anything other than their strength." Cui Yi said.
"Not only that, we also train them. Only after the training can they be employed. We test the products. In this way, their products can meet our production standards." Cui Yi said.
"That's right. If at this time, Zhao Guo introduces foreign investment again, or gives us factories a great deal, I think we can easily make up for our previous losses. This should not be our concern." Qin Speaking at this time.
"Yeah." The quality director just nodded.
"It's just a matter of funding." The quality director said worriedly.
"The bank is responsible. I want to solve a problem. We can let the bank invest. They are very interested in such a project. As long as we do it, there are many investment banks in the bank. They are very interested in such a project. And we produce some important general-purpose parts. I think Zhao Guo will give us a big discount, and these problems can be solved very well.” Qin Jun is not worried at all. Speaking of.
He studied the characteristics and policies of Qin State's factory during this period, and he found that Qin State's factory production costs are generally high, especially in terms of labor costs. Qin State paid very high salaries, but produced technical products. The technical content is not high, and if we continue to develop new technologies for reproduction, the cost will be very high. This is very unfavorable for further production. As a result, the factory has to find other ways to reduce the production of these low-end parts. At this time, Qin’s arsenal took the lead in solving the production of a large number of parts and components. They put some unimportant parts in South Korea and Wei, where cheap labor reduced a lot of labor costs. In addition, some The assembly is also carried out there. In this case, it provides a good example for these civilian commodity factories.
In addition, there is financial support from the bank. If factories are built, especially in South Korea, Wei Guo, and Zhao Guo, there will be a certain tax policy support. In terms of attracting foreign capital, he will give certain preferential treatment. If cooperation can be carried out. If the factory produces, they are absolutely advantageous and are in this consideration. Qin Jun had already planned to do this. It's just that this time he just told everyone.
In Qin, there are many entrepreneurs like Xiang Qin Jun who have this idea. They see a good way to reduce production costs. At the same time, if they do this, they can also expand their profits. There are so many benefits. They are naturally satisfied, and they are naturally willing to do so. In doing so, Qin State achieved a certain level of technical output. On the one hand, the factory expanded production, and on the other hand, some factories with high production costs were placed in advantageous areas for production. This is an improvement. This kind of progress will greatly promote the development of science and technology, which is beneficial to socialized mass production.
