The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"350 million tons! Can there be so many?"

Most of the team members who participated in the meeting for the first time gasped for breath, and many expert committee members who hadn’t heard anything outside the window also stared at Weng Wenhao with rounded eyes in surprise. That means, you are right. !

"Can we consume so much steel domestically? After all, the purchasing power of the people is limited. Besides, there is also the import share of the big powers. It is impossible to reduce it, otherwise disputes will inevitably arise!"

The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Commission, Jianjun University President, Yang Jie, who is about to go to Europe to inspect the military, frowned and raised doubts. As one of the best staff members in the country, he has comprehensive control over the situation in the country. After a conflict with He Yingqin, he suffered a loss and was dismissed. , he kept holding back his displeasure, and simply concentrated on doing the work of the committee well.

Many people have the same question as him. All the people present are elite and handsome. No one thinks that 350 million tons is a lot compared to the population of a huge China, but they all know that the key lies in consumption capacity. The people have no money to consume steel. Can you It is useless to make more!And the import share of the big powers is indispensable, which is also one of the conditions for acquiescence in China's expansion of steel production. Otherwise, Britain and the United States will not be so happy, and they will definitely be stumbling.

Weng Wenhao looked at Zhu Bin with a smile and said, "I have to ask Deputy Secretary-General Zhu about this question."

Almost all the iron and steel plants and other basic industrial equipment were acquired by Zhu Bin. Although the country is happy to have such a strong industrial capacity, he must also own the shares of most of China's heavy industries. How to sell the product without losing money after it goes into production.The industrial leaders who cooperated with him have basically communicated with each other, but there are still a few people in the committee who know about it.

Zhu Bin had a plan for a long time ago, and he said confidently: "The main reason is that the people in our country are poor and their consumption capacity is weak. In addition, the blockade and oppression by the foreign powers have caused the development of basic industries to be slow. The overall revitalization is about to begin, and the demand for basic industrial products will inevitably increase tenfold. Leaving aside ordinary consumption, in the next five years, I believe that our country will vigorously build the national defense industry, build national defense fortifications, and vigorously build railways, roads, bridges, and weapons and equipment etc. This will inevitably drive a lot of consumption of steel, cement, etc. Taking a step back, even if there is no definite number for these, here are a few investment and construction plans for your reference."

Many people who were familiar with him were immediately refreshed. They knew that Zhu Bin was about to make a fool of himself again!Every time he comes up with a so-called plan, it looks earth-shattering, comparable to Dapao Sun back then, but the difference is that he will follow through on what he says. What kind of scene is this time?

Zhu Bin unhurriedly took out a form.After looking around the site for a week, he said with a smile: "In the next three years, based on the needs of industrial construction along the Yangtze River, we will build a natural gas pipeline from Chongqing to Nanjing, passing through important towns such as Wuhan, Jiujiang, Anqing, and Ma'anshan along the way. Add branches. The total length can reach 2200 kilometers. At the same time, it will communicate with parallel railways and high-grade highways, communication, power lines, etc. In addition, we will also build a bridge across the river in Nanjing. Thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of tons of cement. In addition, the Guzhenkou Naval Base we are building will consume more than 200 million tons of steel and cement. The affiliated scientific research base and university town may consume 500 million tons of steel and cement in total. Do the math, everyone, is 350 million tons a lot?"

"Boom!" The venue suddenly exploded!Including Secretary Weng Wenhao, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Zhu Bin as if looking at aliens, and there was an uproar in disbelief!

A pipe!a road!A railway!A bridge!A base!And a university town? !What's the matter with the university town!

No matter what it is, if they count with their fingers, they will come up with a terrifying figure, 1000 million tons!The plan in Zhu Bin's mouth requires at least 1000 million tons to be used!Even if the production capacity reaches 350 million tons now, it will take three years to fully invest in it. Is this guy crazy!

"Hanchen, you can't joke about things like this! Do you know how much money it needs to invest?!" <Qing natural gas field has proven reserves of nearly 1 million tons, and the natural gas plant, natural gas chemical industry, A series of projects such as natural gas to oil and natural gas power generation will bring huge efficiency, and the excess gas will be transported down the Yangtze River by pipeline, at least to power generation, steelmaking and other factories in Wuhan, Ma'anshan and Nanjing. Together, reduce domestic dependence on oil and foreign coal. -

But the bridge!Crossing the Yangtze River is no joke!

Zhu Bin nodded calmly: "The funds for these plans have almost been prepared. The US Pacific Group will invest in natural gas pipelines and parallel roads, railways, communications, and power projects. I have a certain share in it, and it does not involve any I believe the Ministry of Communications can approve the rights of way, minerals, exploration and other clauses on both sides, purely for the return of funds from operations.”

The Pacific Group is actually the Pacific Ocean exploration that Zhu Bin started with Lawrence Rockefeller. At first, it was just a drilling platform, but it got out of control and quickly expanded to offshore exploration, oil and gas field drilling, production, transportation, and oil and gas chemical industry. And other equipment manufacturing, and now there are shipbuilding and other businesses, and the scale has expanded tenfold. Basically, the shipyards and steel mills on the entire west coast of the United States have been drawn out.Right now, the natural gas drilling and mining equipment in the Chong Qing base, the purification treatment and storage equipment of the natural gas station, and the subsequent chemical and transportation equipment all come from this company, and the rich water does not flow to outsiders!

The chemical machinery factory established by the chemical industry headed by Fan Xudong is also in full swing. It is expected that by this time next year, a series of related equipment will be able to be manufactured. Instead of relying solely on outsourcing, various small pressure storage tanks using natural gas, natural gas Stoves and civilian products have already started production and participated in the World Expo. It is said that there are quite a lot of orders!

There are no special provisions for using foreign capital to build roads and pipelines. This is not a problem.Lao Jiang was influenced by his family.I also really want to climb the high branches of the Americans and get more American money to stimulate the economy to support the rule. I definitely welcome this!

Furthermore, the construction plan proposed by Zhu Bin and the others, except for himself, is estimated that no one in other countries will do it. The number of ditches, holes, and bridges along the entire railway line can make people collapse!

Weng Wenhao, Qian Changzhao, Chen Yi, Yang Jie and others looked at each other.Each nodded in approval.

Zhu Bin added: "The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge can pass through the natural moat and connect the north and the south of China. The railway runs directly from Beiping to Guangzhou. I don't need to say more about the convenience it brings. We have invited experts from the United States and Germany to do a demonstration. It will not exceed 30 million U.S. dollars. And we will use the [-]-year operating right, that is, the tolls of roads and bridges, to withdraw funds. For this purpose, we will establish a foundation. We welcome all domestic sectors to purchase shares first and issue construction bonds. I believe investment will not be a problem The key is that the steel, cement, construction machinery, and professional talents required for bridge construction are open to bidding from all over the world, and all countries must be interested.”

"Hiss! It sounds very feasible!"

$[-] million is a lot!Equivalent to [-] million silver dollars, to China.This is a lot of money. The annual tax revenue of the whole country is only a few hundred million!

But it is not enough to spread it across the whole country and the whole world. Nowadays, there are at least hundreds of millions of billions of hidden funds accumulated in the country. With such a project, with people like Zhu Bin taking the lead, it is impossible to achieve it. Difficult!

What's up.It depends on whether you dare to think about it or not.Can it be done, do you have the courage!Looking around the government, there are many people who can become officials and can do this kind of thing.Very few!

The tolls charged for crossing the road are nothing more than likin.This is as it should be. The key is that after the bridge is completed, the efficiency of north-south traffic will increase tenfold. The railway and highway will be connected, and the benefits will be immeasurable!

"Okay! This is good! I will personally report this to the chairman, Hanchen, do you have a detailed plan? Bring it here!"

After Qian Changzhao figured it out, he was overjoyed immediately. I believe the chairman would be happy to see such a great thing. Such a project can attract worldwide attention, and it will be very helpful to his reputation as an old man!Lao Jiang must be happy to have the opportunity to shine in front of the whole world!

"Yes." Zhu Bin took out a thick stack of materials from his big briefcase and handed it to him, and dozens of briefings were distributed to several team leaders and committee heads.

The established committee does not have the most famous figures in the education field, but almost every committee member has the concern for education. Shi Liang, one of the leading figures in the Chinese geology field, has directly ignored the naval base or something. It seems that a large-scale construction project can be carried out with money, grasping Zhu Bin's last key word and asking: "Hanchen, what is the university town you are talking about? A university is a university, can it still be a city? "

yes!People who are tired of building a university are vomiting blood, a city... who do you think you are!There are only more than 7000 college students across the country, and only [-] college students. Can it fill a town?

Zhu Bin nodded decisively: "It is Chengcheng! After the completion of the Guzhenkou Base, the various departments of the Naval Equipment Technology Research Institute scattered throughout the country will gather there to form the largest experimental center in the country. The comprehensive university city of science and engineering that accommodates 10 college students will provide targeted training for industry and technology across the country, and will recruit excellent teachers and students from all over the world."

There was another commotion in the venue! 10 people, a serious county town of [-]!The key is that it is a new construction, and there are still students and teachers. With such a construction scale, what is millions of tons of reinforced concrete!The construction of laboratories, teaching equipment, living environment, and assistance in all aspects is an astonishing astronomical figure!

Nobody can sit still!For those present and those who did not come, the dozens and hundreds of members of the National Defense Design Committee are almost all connected and cooperated with the research office of the Haizhuang Institute, and are also linked with hundreds of factories and enterprises all over the country. Such a huge institutional support There seems to be no problem with a university, but is this really something you can do alone?

There is a strange phenomenon in the Republic of China. There are only 5000 to 1000 college students a year, and an extra 10 million people are just a drop in the bucket, and there are still unemployed!Not less than [-] people every year!There are [-] people when Zhu Bin opens his mouth... Nima, one school of yours is worth more than [-] schools in the whole country.

Weng Wenhao and the others felt that their heads were a bit big, so they beat their foreheads hard, and sighed: "Han Chen, I won't ask you where you got the money, but why did you build the school there? Guzhenkou...if it wasn't He also participated in the geological survey for the construction of the military port. He is the top geologist in the country, and most people can't even find out where that place is.

Yes, why put it there?Everyone knows how close Shandong Peninsula is to small Japan. Isn't education such a key facility placed in big places like Beipinghai and Nanjing?So remote, who goes, how to go!

Zhu Bin gritted his teeth, with a bit of sternness in his eyes, and said lightly: "My purpose is to build a pure academic environment, where every student and teacher can study and work with peace of mind, without messing around with those messy things. thing!"

Needless to say, everyone already understood what he was talking about.In the past two years, students all over the country have not read much with peace of mind. They either go on strike or march all day long. Noisy and noisy has become a habit. It seems that China will be completely destroyed without shouting a few times in the street. They completely forget their mission and task. Learning is to apply what you have learned, and you don’t do what you should do. If such people get into factories and institutions, they are the roots of disasters.

The committee members from the industrial world understand Zhu Bin's mood very well. As a big boss, an exploiting class, and a capitalist, who would like the backbone of his subordinates to go on strike every now and then, causing trouble for the government and foreigners?

However, if he does this, isn't he going to make enemies of many people who are used to talking about propaganda?This courage is big enough!

As long as Zhu Bin can build the school and complete the facilities, there is no need to worry about the absence of teachers and students.There are a lot of unemployed university teachers all over the world. The United States and Germany alone are enough to squeeze out a little. From last year to now, the Germans have rushed to China with tens of thousands of scholars, experts and students, second only to the Americans. Pick and choose It is not difficult to have thousands of people!

Besides, Zhu Bin has always been generous in his work, and there is a mysterious gd laboratory behind him, which will definitely attract many scholars who are dedicated to research.

With such a large population base in China, there are plenty of people who want to find a good job in college, and they can make up one hundred and eighty thousand, just for fun.

Chen Yi frowned and reminded him: "You must think clearly, that side is on the coast, if Japan himself stirs up trouble, he will face the threat of its giant ship artillery and air force, what about security?"

Zhu Bin pursed his lips confidently and said, "I'm already saving face by not messing with them. If Ri himself dares to find fault, I will let him come and die as much as he wants!"

As soon as the murderous declaration came out, all the people in the audience felt chills all over the place, only then did they realize that this fellow seems to have never held back against Ri himself since his debut! Ri himself has never taken advantage of him!Maybe, he really has the capital to be crazy!To be continued. .
