The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 460: The Era of High-Tech (Thanks to book friends for slowly tipping)

When the Peking Kongming Lantern Incident was causing a stir.

The Great Ming General Business Conference was held.

The number of business firms eligible for invitations ranged from more than a hundred in the first session, to more than [-] in the second session, and even to more than [-] in the third session.

Same meeting place.

Under the solemn landing of the big red curtain, the businessmen were all sitting upright.

Zhang Dehui, Zhang Xiancai, Zhou Yourong, Chen Yu, Zhou Wen, Guo Song, Du Song, Ding Yingyong, Qi Sheng'an...

The businessmen were dressed in various costumes, and each of them held a notebook in a stylish manner.

Zhu Gaochi spoke on stage.

Same as ever.

There is a simple vertical podium on the high platform, and Zhu Gaochi's speech script is spread out on the vertical podium.

"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Civil Affairs, there are more than [-] employers in the eleven provinces and one region that have been counted by the Ministry of Industry and Civil Affairs."

"This is a gratifying achievement, but we cannot be satisfied with the results at this stage. In the next year, led by the Ministry of Industrial Planning, we will cooperate with the food stamp issuing bank, the other four food stamp banks, and China Heavy Industries to fully support the private sector. The great development of the business group."

Zhu Gaochi is not lying.

In Zhangjiakou at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 3 foreign trade firms, with an annual import trade volume of [-] million yuan.

The Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

There are hundreds of thousands of blacksmiths in the iron smelting industry in Fujian alone, not to mention the textile industry and porcelain industry in the Jianghuai area.

of course.

The more than [-] commercial banks engaged in foreign trade cannot be compared in size or capital with the commercial banks currently registered with the Ministry of Workers' and Civilian Union.

But from a numerical point of view, there are more than [-] businesses in one region. Although there are reasons for policy and industry environment, the number is still astonishing.

"In the next year, the Ministry of Industrial Planning and Development will focus on supporting private commercial banks to expand their scale, improve new technologies, and increase industrial production efficiency."

Everyone of the merchants below listened carefully.

Some smart businessmen have sensitively grasped the meaning contained in it.

New technologies increase industrial productivity.

in other words.

Next year, we will vigorously support high-tech commercial firms that use new technologies and greatly improve production efficiency.

Those commercial firms that invent new technologies and improve production efficiency will easily obtain loans from the food stamp bank.

With loans, production chains can be expanded.

really.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "Relying on large railway construction projects, large infrastructure projects, and the great development of shipping, military industry, textile industry, agricultural implement industry, porcelain industry, and even the pharmaceutical industry, people's livelihood industry, etc."

"There's a huge gap for all kinds of commodities, especially energy-based industries."

"In order to solve this problem, only the breakthrough of new technologies can double the production efficiency of factories to meet the needs of the market."

The businessmen couldn't help but smile while recording.

What a happy time.

There is no shortage of market for the merchants' goods.

In China Heavy Industry and China Heavy Industry system, upstream and downstream industrial chains, organizations and financial institutions at all levels.

Combining internal and external large and small commercial firms to create a benign internal resource allocation model of the trade circle.

The coal mines, iron ores, various ores produced by the merchants' factories, and even the timber industry, cloth industry, printing and dyeing industry, etc.

The biggest pain now is not that it cannot be sold, but that production cannot keep up with demand.

For example, the railway projects launched nationwide in the Ming Dynasty.

There are more than [-] railway workers, not counting the rest of the materials. The daily consumption of iron materials alone is astronomical.

These are the troubles of happiness.

So the businessmen are happy.

"The little prince is really the timely rain that is urgently needed." During the intermission, the businessmen communicated briefly in twos and threes.

The conference is not only a time to clarify the direction of next year, but also a good opportunity for big businessmen to reach cooperation or new business opportunities through conversations.

The commercial firms that can participate in the general business meeting are all powerful.

"Currently the biggest bottleneck is industrial production efficiency. We are having a headache. Unexpectedly, the little prince is ready."

Qi Shengan said with admiration.

Businessmen are generally grateful to Zhu Gaochi.

Not to mention Qi Sheng'an.

His father came to Beiping to start a business back then, and died of illness halfway through. If it wasn't for the instruction of the young prince, to put people first, including businessmen, it was only then that the Beiping Trade Center helped Qi Sheng'an.

Qi Shengan's family business has long since collapsed due to the collapse of funds due to his father's death, so how could he have the qualifications he has today.

“To expand production efficiency, we either need to recruit more workers or use more machines.”

"The cost of employing people in the north is getting higher and higher, and the use of machines is more profitable. With the current policy of the little prince, next year, factories that manufacture machines for various enterprises may be a dark horse."

A group of businessmen also gathered around Zhang Bo.

Circles are forming.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean by investing heavily in such factories next year?"

Zhang Bo nodded.

"The little prince has made it very clear."

Zhang Bo said with a smile: "Actually, when I was in charge of China Heavy Industry, I already knew this concept very well."

"Replacing manpower with machines is an inevitable trend in the future. In my opinion, when the future develops to the extreme, when machines replace manpower in the factories of the whole society, it is inevitable that machines will produce machines."

Zhang Bo's words shocked many people.

Many people had enlightenment in their hearts, and many people did not understand Zhang Bo's words.

"Little lord."

"Little lord."

People exclaimed.Zhu Gaochi came to the conference room with a smile. When people found Zhu Gaochi, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

People spontaneously moved out of the way, and Zhu Gaochi nodded to the businessmen on both sides.

The first half is about saying good things, and the second half is about saying bad things.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi came to show his face and appease people's hearts.

Zhang Bo stepped forward excitedly.

"Little lord."

"Zhang Bo, we meet again."

Zhu Gaochi had a profound memory of the person in front of him.

There is no way not to be profound.

Although this person's assets are not among the top ones, his business model cannot be underestimated.

From Zhu Gaochi's point of view, the model of this person's firm is the future of the development of Beiping's private business model.

Factory scale improves production efficiency.

The same is true.

The scale of funds can leverage higher benefits.

In the future, whoever can attract the most investment and unite more people can develop the fastest business.

You make a hundred dollars a year.

Others earn 1000 yuan a year.

After a few years, it is a different size.

It is the same as the common people. With the income of traditional farmers a few yuan a year, the income of workers is more than ten yuan a year, and it is increasing year by year.

Then the traditional farmers must take the initiative or be forced to join the factory labor.

The stomach is also full.

However, the gap between the rich and the poor will lead to a change in the concept of traditional farmers, and gradually ignore the fields that were originally regarded as the lifeline.

"Always remember the teachings of the little prince." Zhang Bo smiled.

"Good job."

Zhu Gaochi patted Zhang Bo's shoulder.

Zhang Bo was very excited.

With the approval of the young prince, the anxiety in his heart disappeared. He was also afraid of stepping on China Heavy Industries to promote his reputation every day.

soon.

Under the excited atmosphere of the businessmen, Zhu Gaochi returned to the stage, and the meeting started again.

The second half.

It revolves around people-oriented requirements and punishments.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't make those tiny firms strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Workers and People's Union, and adopted a semi-laissez-faire attitude of not raising officials and not investigating.

These small businesses that have just emerged are usually a joint effort of the family, or the way of making big cakes, so Zhu Gaochi did not take the initiative to suppress them.

But the big business houses present are different.

"The people-centered concept is an unwavering governance phalanx. It is not only a commitment to businessmen, but also a commitment to the people."

"Create the market, maintain the market, and expand the market."

Zhu Gaochi said seriously.

"The business houses here are all those who have benefited from this."

"Workers have higher wages and a stable working environment, which has played a decisive role in promoting the development of various commercial banks."

"The employment costs of various commercial banks have increased, so the commercial price system created by China Heavy Industries has satisfied the profits of each commercial bank."

"It is absolutely not allowed for any business bank to gain benefits while maximizing its own interests, disregarding long-term social interests and destroying the foundation of the market."

"For such commercial firms, the Ministry of Industrial Planning, the United Bank, and the Ministry of Workers and Civilians will impose the most severe punishment."

The merchants listened carefully.

From the very beginning of the development of the Beiping model, businessmen have started playing according to this rule, and people have accepted this rule.

But as the little prince said.

Bad money drives out good money.

What I am most afraid of is that if someone does not abide by this rule and maximize his interests, then other peers will not be able to compete with him.

And the government does not impose corresponding punishment, which is tantamount to indulging their behavior.

If such a thing happened, the rest of the firms would definitely stop abiding by the rules, not because they were unwilling to abide by morality, let alone because they could not see the harm in the future, but because it was about the competition among firms and the issue of life and death at the moment.

Issues of life and death now are far more important than future harm.

If the trading houses can no longer survive, who cares about the future?

Therefore, upon hearing the thoughts of the meeting in the second half, the businessmen did not show much rejection, but hoped that the government would severely punish those who broke the rules of the game.

For this.

The merchants were skeptical.

Private commercial firms like them can abide by the rules of the game, but what about those commercial firms with strong relationships, even China Heavy Industries.

For example, China Heavy Industry itself is not people-oriented, and if it wants to eliminate middle-aged and elderly workers, then these private commercial firms will certainly not abide by it.

"The United Workers' and Civilian Ministry will be upgraded to an organizational agency directly led by the cabinet and separated from the original China Heavy Industries system."

Zhu Gaochi said.

"Sure enough, I have made up my mind and put in a lot of effort."

Hearing this, Zhang Bo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With the great development of industry, the rights of China Heavy Industry were getting smaller and smaller.

The businessmen had a realization.

People-oriented is real.
