The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"At present, our main purpose is to expand the demand for iron products. The demand for iron beams from Korean shipyards has given us a great reminder that in the future, the demand for iron beams will definitely be even greater, because it is conservatively estimated that South Korea and Chu The number of ships needed by the shipyard will exceed 10,000. Our Handan Iron Works needs to be constructed continuously, and it also takes about two years to complete. This is a very promising market." Li Mu at the Economic Conference Speaking of.

Although Handan Iron Works and a series of small iron plants have received related orders, in addition to some orders for rails, these orders do not allow Handan Iron Works to meet the status quo. Li Mu thinks the same way. In his opinion, Zhao Guo should do more, such as increasing unprecedented demand. These are all things Zhao Guo must do in the current economy, but how to tap demand makes Li Mu a little embarrassed. Because he doesn't know where a lot of iron will be needed.

The demand for iron beams came from South Korea’s shipyards, which came as a surprise. In other words, Zhao Guo didn't know the plan of the South Korean shipyard at first, after such a thing happened. Li Mu decided to let Zhao's economic department study related issues in order to further expand the demand for iron products.

"After the beginning of the spring, all our problems will be resolved. Now our iron factory has received relevant orders. This is a very good thing for us." The Minister of Finance said with satisfaction. With the passing of winter, domestic construction expectations in the future are getting bigger and bigger, and Korea has decided to build Jiaozhou Railway. The State of Chu also needs to build a railway directly to Pengcheng. If possible, they will further extend to the coastal areas. Qin State is also considering these things, but they can meet such demand domestically. Obviously they cannot get such orders, because Qin State's Wenyang Steel can get such orders and face absolute competitors. Wenyang Iron and Steel and Handan Iron Works are also trying to solve their own problems, such as reducing costs as much as possible, which brings high energy-consuming iron plants and investment in processing methods. This is something that cannot be avoided. Fortunately, Zhao Guo has sufficient coal resources to consume. Otherwise they simply cannot accomplish such a thing.

"We can't just wait for the beginning of spring to come, and then wait until winter, when we shut down again, the factories can stop, but the blast furnaces can't be stopped, we should find a way to solve these problems." The Minister of Economy said.

"Prime Minister, I have a solution that is worth considering." The Minister of Economy said at this time.

"Talk about it." Li Mu asked at this time. His biggest goal now is to increase the production of Zhao Guo’s iron products, because only in this way, Zhao Guo’s enterprises can survive. Qin Guo Bank is quickly solving their financial problems. The Zhao Guo government is in order to enable the enterprise to have better development. Encourage enterprise production through government support to buy shares.

The method is that Zhao Guo issued bonds through Qin State Bank, and the bonds were directly absorbed by Qin State Bank in exchange for a large amount of funds, and then these funds were directly invested in business operations through Zhao State Government’s fiscal expenditure method, and the government’s shareholding was not occupied. The absolute share quota is only about 30%. The more share capital, the more funds entered. As the largest state-owned enterprise in the country of Zhao, Handan Iron Works received more than 40% of the financial funds. This greatly allowed Handan Iron Works to expand. All of a sudden, The Handan Iron Works solved the employment problem of more than 15,000 people. And as the scale of the factory expands, this number will increase further.

"War." The Minister of Economy said a word at this time. The people present were taken aback. Li Mu looked up at the Minister of Economy.

"Qin people’s industrial system is built on the basis of military industrial enterprises, and their military industrial enterprises relied on military orders from the beginning. Military orders are hard demand. As long as we have military orders, our factories can also produce these weapons. Come. For example, I personally think that if South Korea needs it, we can provide them with a series of artillery. Of course, we need better smelting technology for these artillery. After all, they have built a series of ships. There must be navy ships. We need artillery, and there is also the Chu State. This is the biggest demand. It can also stimulate the production of our military enterprises. This is the best way." The Minister of Economy said at this time.

"Yes. That's right." The other ministers nodded in agreement.

"Wait, South Korea also has its own arsenal. Can they let us produce weapons?" the Finance Minister asked. The military industry enterprise is an enterprise with a high level of strictness. Moreover, because of the special products processed by such enterprises, they cannot operate in the same way as other enterprises.

"Of course not, but they can export weapons and sell them to other places. We can process cheap goods, OEM, provide various raw materials, and parts." The Minister of Economy said.

"Not only that, but also Chu State. In case of a fight somewhere, the consumption of ammunition supplies is also a very huge thing. Have you not seen it? The people of Qin are making war fortune every time. War money, and the Wei people who followed were a lot richer. The canned food that our army ate was processed from these Wei people. There were also those bullets. Although the flintlock bullets were already behind, they were still There are many places where there is great demand. The people of Wei can sell a lot of money even if they process bullets. What is the reason for people from Qin and South Korea to open up their markets in a hurry, and not for their bullets. We Zhao Guo also This can be done, and our military industry enterprises in the country of Zhao should also develop." The Minister of Economy said.

"That's right. We should follow in the footsteps of the war and make money in the war. But for now, there are very few places to fight. At present, the biggest movement is the people of Chu. We can consider this aspect. After all, Chu The demand for Chinese people is also very large. If they build their own shipyards, I think they also need iron beams. This is our largest order and our current large customer base." Li Mu nodded and said.

Just when Li Mu finished this. Li Zuoche came in quietly, then walked to Li Mu's side and leaned down and said a few words in a low voice.

"Is it true?" Li Mu asked.
