Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 249 30 is too much, I only need 15 (Part [-])
"Huddle together for warmth? This is something I neglected before." Zhu Zhiyao's expression was a little dazed, his eyes full of reminiscence: "Shipbuilding, cotton making... Time is really a circle, going around and around, and unexpectedly it will come back again. "

Cheng Nuo was very worried that the other party would not be able to accept this process in a short time, especially after hearing the above words. Take it to the next level.

"Mr. Zhu, I know that there are some differences between shipbuilding and cotton spinning machines, and some technical aspects may need to be re-tackled, but I believe that since Qiuxin Machinery Factory can successfully build a thousand-ton ship, it must have sufficient background in mechanical technology. Cotton and iron cooperation The future is very bright." Cheng Nuo stepped forward and continued to persuade:
"Compared with the future, what is more important now is how to keep Qiuxin Machinery Factory alive safely, seeking innovation and seeking innovation, striving for innovation, innovation every day, and innovation every day!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiyao burst out laughing at this time: "Zhiyuan, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I have never worried about the technical aspects of cotton looms. To be honest, before the Manchu Dynasty perishes, we already have I have imitated the Japanese-style pedal loom, which can weave 100 feet of foreign cloth per day."

"Mr. Zhu, please sit down." Seeing that Zhu Zhiyao had been standing for a long time, Jiang Jiangzuo took the initiative to bring him a small horse, and said curiously: "Then later, such a high-efficiency pedal cloth machine must be very popular in the market. It’s well-received and profitable, right?”

"No and no." Zhu Zhiyao nodded his thanks, and after sitting down, his tone was a little proud: "No matter what machinery and equipment we make in Qiuxin Machinery Factory, the first consideration is never economic benefits, but social benefits. At that time, we directly produced With 170 planes, we are the only ones in Shanghai who have this strength!"

Jiang Jiangzuo didn't find the second small Maza, so he sat down on the floor: "170 machines, you can build a medium-sized spinning mill on the same site, Mr. Zhu, you are too powerful, and this spirit is really a model for our generation. Then what happened?"

At this time, Zhu Zhiyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Although the equipment looks good, it has not been put on the market before, and colleagues in the business world are skeptical about it. The market acceptance is not high, and it has not been sold at all. A few, and then I packed them all up in a fit of anger."

"This..." Jiang Jiangzuo opened his mouth, and finally stretched out a thumb: "Zhu Laozhen is a man of temperament."

Cheng Nuo on the side heard it and remembered it in his heart.

"For the current Qiuxin Machine Factory, even if it can manufacture the loom in a short period of time, it will take a certain amount of time to introduce it to the market. Even if we are very confident in our technology, the intermediate process is inevitable. Yes." After hesitating for a while, Cheng Nuo still threw out his point of view.

Jiang Jiangzuo pinched his nose: "What we lack the most right now is time. If we miss this point, the Qiuxin Machinery Factory will have to change its name completely. When the French come in, what we want to do will be as difficult as climbing the mountain." sky."

With that said, Jiang Jiangzuo and Zhu Zhiyao turned their attention to Cheng Nuo again.

Especially Zhu Zhiyao, it would be fine if he was simply disheartened at the beginning, but now Cheng Nuo gave him hope, if it was shattered again, that kind of blow would be enough to wipe out his little heart.

Cheng Nuo, who knew this well, did not continue to play tricks: "My point of view is to expand to downstream industries."

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know what the words meant, but after Cheng Nuo's detailed introduction, they finally understood what was going on.

"The so-called strategy of expanding to downstream industries is to establish a micro-protective market, directly obtain profits from terminal consumer goods, and then give back to the expansion of the machinery industry, a capital goods industry, which can also be called a vertical integration strategy. "Looking at the two of them, Cheng Nuo said to himself.

Jiang Jiangzuo was a little confused: "Zhiyuan, it means that the cotton and iron joint venture mentioned just now is our own completion of the upstream, midstream and downstream of the industry? Instead of cooperating with those cotton textile enterprises?"

Cheng Nuo nodded: "In the long run, if we want to achieve better development, we should try to get closer to this strategy. It doesn't mean that the more people who join in, the better. In that case, the investment subjects are too scattered, and it is difficult to coordinate interests. , the vision is also difficult to keep consistent, but it is a burden.

Holding on to the cotton and iron business to seek innovation is the essence of current development, not to lure or threaten, but only to go to the way of specialized manufacturing. "

Zhu Zhiyao thought about it for a while, and said: "I thought about it just now, Zhiyuan, what you said is very reasonable. At present, whether it is cotton textile industry or others, people are too superstitious about foreign products, and dare not try our own domestic products lightly. I was also very troubled by this problem before, blindly recruiting may disperse the strength.

But if we only want to eat alone, it is not in line with our original intention of industrial development. Moreover, we cannot survive on our own production and sales for the rest of our lives. The technology research and development of industrial enterprises is a systematic project that requires a suitable industrial ecology. It is difficult for an enterprise to fight alone to change the overall situation. "

"Clap clap~"

Hearing that Zhu Zhiyao had such a pattern, Cheng Nuo couldn't help applauding, and said in admiration, "Mr. Zhu's point of view is really convincing, but what I said is what I think, and what I want to say later."

Zhu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows: "Tell me."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "The most important thing for Qiuxin Machinery Factory right now is not only time, but also money, and the main reason for the current situation is also the word money.

So what I want to say is to fine-tune the original cotton-iron joint venture strategy, seek new machinery factories to produce technology and talents, and several large cotton textile mills such as Dasheng Spinning Mill, Hengfeng Spinning Mill and Dalong Spinning Mill and other large spinning mills Provide venues and funds, so that not only the problem of funds can be solved, but also the problem of their machine shortage can be overcome. "

In this way, it can not only avoid the waste of time caused by pulling with many small cotton textile enterprises, but also find some stable sources of customers for Qiuxin Machinery Factory, and also promote the development of the entire domestic cotton textile industry, which is a win-win situation.

The more he thought about it, the more maneuverable he felt. Zhu Zhiyao couldn't stay on the ponytail any longer. He stood up and turned around a few times, and finally couldn't help but come to Cheng Nuo: "Zhiyuan, my uncle Ma Xiangbo is chanting in front of me. It’s been a long time since you said that you promised to give a speech at Fu Jen Catholic University, and you are looking forward to it.”

Cheng Nuo was a little confused, and asked, "I've been busy recently, and I'll go there when I'm done. But why did Mr. Zhu mention this all of a sudden?"

Zhu Zhiyao chuckled: "I just want to say, Zhiyuan, you won't let down the trust of our uncle and nephew, right?"

Cheng Nuo patted his chest and repeatedly assured: "You can rest assured that I will never miss my promise."

After getting an accurate answer, Zhu Zhiyao was like a different person. He suddenly looked younger, and even felt a sense of high spirits.

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved. As long as the factory is still in the hands of our countrymen and shines for the national industry, even if I lose this old life, I will not hesitate!"

However, after finishing the testimonials and having a clear long-term and short-term plan for Qiuxin Machinery Factory, there is still a thorny problem in front of us.

That is the imminent debt. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, then it will still be difficult to escape the fate of being acquired. No matter how good or big the plan is, it will be in vain.

When he came to the office, Cheng Nuo looked at the ledger for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Zhu, tell me how much money you need to get through this crisis right now?"

Zhu Zhiyao made some calculations in his mind, slowly stretched out three fingers, but quickly retracted one: "30... no, 20 is enough, if there are 20, then I can have the confidence to take the French Let’s deal with it, as for the Beiyang government, they have people, and so do we.”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "Okay, I know what's going on."

After saying this, Cheng Nuo immediately pulled Jiang Jiangzuo aside, and asked in a low voice, "Lifu, how much liquidity can our Academy of Sciences provide without changing its main strategy and business model?"

Jiang Jiangzuo's face immediately showed a bitter gourd look: "I knew it was no good for you to take me, so you were waiting for me here."

Cheng Nuo patted his friend on the back: "Right now, saving people is like putting out a fire. You already know the situation of Qiuxin Machinery Factory. It's fine if the government doesn't save us. If we don't save people now, we may lose an important future." Partners, industrial development is more difficult, and we are under more firepower."

After a pause, Cheng Nuo looked back and said, "Do you still remember the important principles of our establishment of the Academy of Sciences?"

Following Cheng Nuo and looking back, Jiang Jiangzuo happened to meet Zhu Zhiyao's eyes. Looking back at the first time he saw him, he was all over his head, and now he is full of vigor, and he is like a different person. On the condition of turning danger into safety.

Pursing his lips, Jiang Jiangzuo said seriously: "Of course I remember, that is, there are many friends and few enemies."

Cheng Nuo hugged his friend hard: "There is one more thing we need to be clear about, no matter how powerful Jiangnan Shipbuilding is now, it is still managed by the public in essence, and you and I can't understand what kind of role the public is. One day we will be kicked away together with General Chen, and we will be weeping."

Seeing Cheng Nuo's serious face, Jiang Jiangzuo suddenly laughed, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, I don't want to do wedding dresses for others. But I said it before, I didn't refuse!"

Cheng Nuo said happily, "You agreed?"

Jiang Jiangzuo sighed helplessly: "It's really not easy to be your financial supervisor. As you said, we can safely take out 50 funds, which are basically added by several factories such as our fertilizer, electrical appliances, and matches. The numbers together can be enough in a short time."

"Hey, I just trust you, Lifu." Cheng Nuo hugged his friend's neck with a smile, and then asked: "If we really take out so much money, our ability to resist risks will be greatly reduced. Development is also unfavorable, how much can you get for the safer ones?"

Jiang Jiangzuo frowned and thought for a while, and said firmly: "30, if it is not higher than this figure, we can deal with most difficulties calmly."

Cheng Nuo said decisively: "Okay, then take out 30 yuan and use it for Zhiyuan Qiuxin Machinery Factory, not only for us to manufacture high-quality steel plates, but also to keep a bunch of fire for our national industry!"

Jiang Jiangzuo echoed: "I, I support your decision!"

After the two had a general discussion about the transfer of funds, Cheng Nuo came to Zhu Zhiyao again.

"Old Zhu..."

Just as Cheng Nuo opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the eager Zhu Zhiyao, with a bit of nervousness in his words:
"Zhiyuan, I just thought about it. In fact, I don't need 20 yuan. I only need 15 yuan. I can take Qiuxin Machinery Factory through this crisis. After that, we can develop steadily according to our plan."

The amount changed so quickly that Cheng Nuo was momentarily taken aback.

However, after seeing Mr. Zhu Zhiyao's Adam's apple surging from time to time, and the sweat on his head, he must have been engaged in a fierce psychological struggle just now.

He has been busy for most of his life for the rise of national industry, isn't he the "Second Master Qin" in real life?

"Mr. Zhu, we are talking about business. Business is business. 15 yuan is definitely not enough." Under the earnest eyes of the other party, Cheng Nuo slowly stretched out three fingers: "I'll give you 30 yuan, is it enough?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiyao did not accept this aid: "30, that's too much. If it's just my factory, it will go bankrupt, but now you have to invest so much money in it, in case it ends up It's still yellow, and I'm dead to blame."

Cheng Nuo insisted: "Although 15 yuan seems like a lot, it is still a bit difficult in front of such a large factory. If we really rely on such a sum of money to save the market, there is a high possibility that the new machinery factory will not be able to save it, nor will we get the money back. , it’s better to invest more at the beginning and catch the opponent by surprise, if it’s not enough, I’ll continue to think of a way.”

Zhu Zhiyao refused: "Zhiyuan, I know that you are also in the industry, and it is not easy to achieve today's industry. I don't want you to end up like me, wasting half your life and ending up with nothing. It tastes good, let’s get the money back.”

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "I haven't finished my words yet. The money is not for free for Qiuxin Machinery Factory. It needs to be exchanged for 49% of the shares. After Mr. Zhu earns money, I can also have a bite to eat."

Although Zhu Zhiyao was a little moved, he still refused: "You don't need to give me 30, I will give you that many shares for 15..."

One can't give money out, and the other can't take too much money.

After a few rounds of back and forth, a cooperation agreement was finally reached.

That is to say, Cheng Nuo spent 20 yuan to acquire 49% of the shares of Qiuxin Machinery Factory, leaving 51% for Zhu Zhiyao.

With this money, Qiuxin Machinery Factory can completely tide over this difficulty.

In the future, according to the previous plan, we can cooperate with Zhang Jian, the Rong brothers and others to set up factories to form a miniature business ecology, so that all national industrial enterprises that join in can benefit.

At the same time, restart the previous steelmaking plant, put Krupp steel into production as soon as possible, and plug the raw material gap of Jiangnan Shipyard.

"Manufacturing advanced machines, constructing convenient docks, and researching excellent steel materials, if you can do these three things, you will get your long-cherished wish. No matter what kind of machines, such as steel rails, steel wheels, etc., you can build them one by one without relying on others. Now Hope is still alive, and I have this friend again, so happy!

Zhiyuan, let's drink [-] cups tonight, we won't return if we don't get drunk! "

It was late at night, and under the guidance of Venus, the stars began to twinkle after a while, and then the sky was full of splendor.

Holding the wine glass, Cheng Nuo looked up at the sky and seemed to be drunk too.
