The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Qin's four major steel groups, government-set steel plants, have 65 percent of the shares. Four, only sold for 10 million gold. What price is this?" Meng Yi cried to Shang Wen with a heartbreak.

"This kind of price is too cheap. I think it's cheap, cheap. It's too cheap." Meng Yi said to Shangwen anxiously. But Shang Wen didn't feel at a loss, instead he stood up with a smile and said to Meng Yi.

"Yeah. Cheap, really cheap." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"But, I want to ask Prime Minister Meng, if you think it is cheap, then you can buy it with 10 million gold, and I can approve the sale to you." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"This." Meng Yi had nothing to say when he heard such a sentence, indeed. Ten million gold looks cheap, but no one can really come up with so much money at once. It was Qin's bank that suddenly took out such a large amount of funds, and on the spot, that bank would suddenly be short of funds.

"What? Can't get it out?" Shang Wen asked with a smile.

"Sure, ten million gold, the bank can't come up with so much capital, this, how many railways can be built, ten million gold, can be repaired to the Western Regions at once." Meng Yi said to Shangwen .

"Yes, not only can it be repaired to the Western Regions, but to Dawan, it is estimated that it will be repaired back." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"To be honest, this kind of price is indeed very cheap, but the bank that can really take out so much money at once is only Wenyang Bank. Moreover, they are controlled by them, I think, I think there are benefits, at least , Their Wenyang Iron and Steel can enter the production stage at once. This is of great benefit to Qin’s increase in steel production. The important thing is that he can meet Qin’s steel demand at once, and on the basis of this demand, he can quickly The expansion of production. Now there is a shortage of steel everywhere in Qin. Especially after the scale of the railway is expanded. Now the railway is being repaired. It is okay to say that the rails, but the rails, locomotives, and various parts and components, needless to say, cast iron, but some places must The use of steel is irreplaceable. Do we still want to see the high price of steel?" Shang Wen asked rhetorically.

"Before there was not much demand, this is not obvious enough, but now there is a lot of market, and demand has expanded a lot. And a series of by-products from steel companies, such as cement. Do you know?" Shang Wen said to Meng Yi at this time.

"I heard that Peking University is going to build the entire city. Most of the buildings are new-style buildings. The demand for cement has reached a large amount. However, our production has been unable to expand the demand. It is some factories in Zhao State. , It can only meet the needs of the State of Zhao, and we have nothing to do with the needs of the State of Wei." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"It can be said that now is the era of expanding demand, not the era of reducing production. If we don’t let the government’s immediate interests go, it will bring about a great lag effect. This is not what our government hopes to see. The most important point is that these steel companies will bring huge profits to the State of Qin, and the taxes and fees generated are definitely not what we currently give up. Moreover, at this price, the government's factories are already profitable. You must know that Qin was already profitable. It cost about one million gold, and now it has been recovered. It's okay." Shang Wen persuaded.

"It’s just that, at such a price, I’m worried that newspaper public opinion is not good for us. You must know that now we are out of the campaign period. If you do this, someone will accuse you of being beneficial to the development of Wenyang Bank. This is for you. The election of the People’s Republic of China will have a very negative impact.” Meng Yi said worriedly.

"I'm not worried about this." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"I think this can be the intensity of propaganda, because Qin now needs the development of steel to promote the development of the entire economy. If this is not done, the urban development and railway development of Qin will not be further developed." Shang Wen said disapprovingly.

"With one industry to promote the development of the entire economy, although the government suffers a loss, it is good for the economy. I think this is very feasible. Qin needs the support of steel. This is a need for long-term development. "Shang Wen said.

"Qin needs steel. Don't worry. This is a requirement of the times, and it doesn't make much sense to oppose it." Shang Wen smiled and patted Meng Yi's shoulder and said.

Meng Yi nodded. Perhaps what Shang Wen said is right, this is the demand of an era, and such demand is unstoppable. Meng Yi could also feel the existence of such a force.

"In addition to these steel bases, I think there are other places that should be paid attention to, such as the potential Qin State steel production base. For example, the Western Regions." Shang Wen thought about it.

"I heard that the Hexi Corridor also needs steel, and the Hexi Corridor is aimed at the Western Regions market. Only by operating the Western Regions can we further expand. If a large amount of steel needs to be produced domestically, this will still put a lot of pressure on Qin. If necessary, Qin still needs steel companies to expand abroad to meet the demand for steel in these areas." Shang Wen said.

"I agree with this." Meng Yi said.

"I heard that a coal field was discovered in the territory of Dawan. Although we don't know how large the reserves of this coal field are, such resources are still very tempting for us in Qin. But unfortunately, our railway cannot be extended to reach the limit. Going to that place, even if it is developed, it can’t be shipped. What about it? The local can’t bring out their value, and the loss would be too great.” Meng Yi said distressedly.

"Oh. Put it this way. We must speed up the construction of the railway, otherwise, this is a waste of resources." Shang Wen said.

"No. The speed of the railway can't be too fast." Meng Yi shook his head and said to Shang Wen.

"I have investigated the railway progress of these railway companies. Isn’t the funding problem very big, the materials? It’s not too big. After all, the current steel production can still be satisfied, and some places can be dealt with using railroad tracks. That is, the maintenance cost is higher. It is acceptable, but there is no manpower to lay it out. This problem is very big. Although the recruitment has solved some of the problems, the problem still cannot be solved. The amount of work is huge. Everywhere is trying to solve it." Meng Yi said.

"Yeah." Shang Wen nodded.

"The main problem is still the lack of labor. How to solve this problem. It's difficult." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Well. I hope that trade can solve this problem." Shang Wen said.
