African Nationhood

Chapter 284 Internal Affairs Meeting-Finance and Transportation

Sansa Bruce has long been used to Boss Shi's teasing, "Boss, this can be done."

Shi Jintang chuckled, "What is the budget of their education department this year?"

"5.8 million yuan in military bills."

"This budget has more than doubled from a few years ago. Why are you so happy this time? This is a bit unlike you, Ms. Bruce."

Boss Shi's ridicule caused everyone in the venue to laugh. After all, they had to face Sansa Bruce's cold face when they asked her to submit a budget or increase the budget.

Now only Boss Shi can make fun of her. People like them don't dare to offend this grandma, the God of Wealth.

Sansa Bruce pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Shi, you are biased against me. If the company's financial revenue is sufficient, I will naturally not be stingy. It's just that the company's previous financial revenue was too tight."

Hearing what Sansa Bruce said, Shi Jintang looked at Cai Shaoji and said with a smile: "Grandma, the God of Wealth, has spoken. Your construction of the college has been approved. You will hand over the specific plan to me after the meeting."

Cai Shaoji nodded and smiled: "Well, okay, Mr. Shi, I'm done here."

Shi Jintang turned to Sansa Bruce: "Then come and cheer everyone up."

Sansa Bruce took out her notebook and began to speak.

“The company has gained tremendously from last year’s clean-up operation along the East African coast.

According to statistics from our financial department, we harvested 38 ounces of gold, 5.4 ivory, 4056 carats of diamonds, 3.6 pieces of cattle and sheep skins, more than 30 cattle and sheep in total, and 18 tons of various grains, with a total value of 55.17 billion. Yuan military ticket. "

After listening to Sansa Bruce's report, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This income has almost caught up with Nanhua Company's financial income for almost one and a half years.

No wonder Sansa Bruce is so generous, it turns out she really made a fortune.

Shi Jintang nodded slightly. The floating wealth in these cleaning harvests seemed more conspicuous, but the real value was the food crops.

These seizures contributed one-third of the strategic reserves Zhong Yaoxun mentioned before.

After everyone's voices fell silent, Sansa Bruce continued to speak: "In fiscal year 1890, the company's fiscal revenue totaled 98.25 billion yuan in military invoices. Excluding the seized income, the company's other industry and profit and tax income was 43.08 billion yuan in military invoices.

Among them, the company’s domestic tax revenue is 10.9 billion yuan, overseas companies’ dividends are 23.3 billion yuan, and indigenous taxes are 8.88 million yuan.

The indigenous population within the company has decreased significantly, and therefore the indigenous tax revenue has also decreased significantly.

However, the dividend profits of overseas companies have increased significantly, especially automobile and oil companies. The dividends of these two industries contributed more than 7% of the company's profits. "

After the savings period of more than two years, the automobile company finally exploded. As the production capacity of automobiles exploded, profit margins also increased greatly.

The annual profit of the German Mercedes-Benz car factory alone has reached a terrifying amount of more than 5000 million pounds.

In addition to the income from the factory, these incomes also include dividend income from foreign joint venture factories. Dividends from the United Kingdom, France and the United States have increased significantly.

The replacement of Model T cars is also proceeding normally, while the Crown series has entered the stage of increasing production capacity.

However, the efficiency of hand-built luxury cars is too low. Carl Benz and others are also studying how to further decompose the assembly process and improve the efficiency of the complete vehicle.

The motorcycle business of the Muller brothers has also begun to expand its production capacity. The outbreaks across Europe have caused the factory's profits to skyrocket again and again. They are a little overwhelmed. They have repeatedly complained to Boss Shi and asked them to recruit employees to help them share the burden. Boss Shi naturally Yes.

Oil companies have also entered a period of substantial profits due to the explosion of automobiles, and the oil refining industry has finally ushered in an explosion.

With the explosion of the oil industry, the shipping industry engaged in ocean transportation services also developed. The stock price and fleet size of the American Philadelphia International Shipping Company also increased significantly.

… ˆ ˆ The oil exploration in Sumatra finally yielded results. As expected, they finally discovered the Minas Oil Field, which is the largest and best oil field in Asia.

Today's British Southeast Asia Petroleum Company, under the operation of Prince Leopold, has been named the "Royal British Petroleum Company".

London's rich and aristocratic people are queuing up to buy shares in the "Royal British Petroleum Company". Nanhua Company's shares have been reduced repeatedly, and now only 25% of the shares are left.

Prince Leopold's shareholding remains at 15%, and both parties still have control over the company's operations.

The investment of so many nobles has made Nanhua Company more popular among London's elite circles, and more and more nobles are favoring Nanhua Company's kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac Chinese patent medicines.

They found that although the ingredients of the medicines produced by Nanhua Company were unknown, after taking them, they felt that they had a long-lasting warming and tonic effect and were very good for the body.

This also helped Nanhua Company's pharmaceutical brand to build a brand in disguise, which made Boss Shi dumbfounded when he learned the truth.

……

"The actual expenditure of various departments of the company last year was 30.59 billion yuan, which was the fiscal surplus of 67.66 billion yuan in the previous fiscal year.

Although I know that financial harvest years like this don't come often, I can't help but feel happy about the company's steady growth. "

Sansa Bruce's words resonated with everyone, and everyone applauded.

Shi Jintang also clapped. When the applause stopped, Shi Jintang looked at James Lister and said, "Director Lister, let's talk about it."

James List nodded and stood up to speak, "At present, the most critical aspect of the company's transportation is the 'three vertical and three horizontal' railways we have planned.

As of January this year, 1% of the Wen (Hot Springs)-Xin (Xin Orange Town) line has been completed, and the railway line from the Central Plains Region to the Pingshan Region has been connected. This has greatly accelerated the logistics flow in the Namib region. .

Because most of the new (New Orange Town)-Bu (Bulawayo) line was built with local funds, the remaining part of our line became the New (New Orange Town)-Harbin (Harbin City) line. We have already A budget was made and the order was handed over to the newly established South West African Railway Company.

Because of local investment, British businessmen recently established a motorcycle manufacturing plant within the company's territory, using pig iron and steel billets produced by our company's two steel plants in Shuangkui Town (now Kweikwe City, Zimbabwe).

This also greatly speeds up our company's railway laying speed.

Nowadays, 70% of the locally invested Bu (Bulawayo)-Lusa (Lusa Town) line has been completed, connecting many inland urban nodes, making Bulawayo the most prosperous railway hub city within the company's territory.

In addition, the railway line from Harbin Town (now Gaborone, the capital of Botswana) to Bulawayo (now Bulawayo City, Zimbabwe) has been fully completed.

It only takes less than 20 hours to get from Harbin to Bulawayo, which greatly speeds up the company's logistics and personnel traffic efficiency.

The Wen (Hot Springs)-Lousa (Lousa Town) line is currently 15% complete.

At present, some inland cities from Tongcheng Region to Fushui Region are connected. It is expected that it will take about two years for the entire line to be opened. The laborers used for this railway line are black indigenous people captured from Portuguese West Africa.

The construction of the Ma (Mapu Port)-Bu (Bulawayo) line has also begun, and the construction period is expected to be three years.

In addition to the above-mentioned railway lines, only the Wen (Hot Springs)-Bu (Bulawayo) line has not yet started construction. Mr. Shi means to wait for this line until the construction of other important lines is completed. Start construction.

Therefore, the start date set by our department for this line is 1893. In addition, in order to strengthen the connection with the East African Administrative Office, the company plans to build a direct line from Beira Port (today's Beira City, Mozambique) on the coast of the East African Administrative Office to Jianye City ( Railway line in present-day Harare, Zimbabwe.

This plan has received strong support from the Dutch. They hope that we will start construction of this railway early, and even suggested that they can advance the construction funds in advance. "

Hearing this, Shi Jintang couldn't help but laugh. The Dutch are really good at digging into camps.
