Chapter 754 Raw Material Problem
"The potential of Dongfang Machinery Factory is much greater than you think."

Feinan looked at them and said calmly, "The press is just the beginning. Dongfang's goal is to build a domestic basic industrial system, promote the economic center of coastal cities to shift to manufacturing, build an industrial powerhouse, and make China the factory of the world."

"laugh!"

Zheng Xingqiao couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

In his opinion, what Feinan said was nothing more than a fool's dream, and it was no different from a beggar who got drunk and boasted that he was going to be the emperor.

Although he was wary of the successful trial production of Dongfang's presses, it was just a precaution.

For this newly established Dongfang Machinery Factory, he still somewhat looked down upon it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let a manager find a few random people so easily and arrange to make trouble in the factory.

He is engaged in the import and resale of machinery and equipment, and he is well aware of how big the industrial gap between China and the West is.

The press is indeed the top priority of the basic industry, but that only makes the rapid development of the domestic industry possible.

The real domestic manufacturing strength is completely incomparable with the West.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the products of his Wanchang foreign company!

In addition to common machine tools, there are fire saws and iron bed machines used in hardware factories; various machines used in oil room fire grinding; machines for breaking stones and making foreign materials; various machines for loading and unloading goods; various agricultural applications machine.

In addition, you can also buy Dijieli brand steam and electric motors, and electric light machines with large and small horsepower in foreign companies.

If you are interested, you can also order various steam locomotive heads and engine heads, various passenger and freight vehicles; elevators for carrying people and goods; large and small boilers, various ships and small steamboat machines.

With so many machinery and equipment, less than one-third of them can be imitated in China. Even if they can be imitated, the raw materials and processing equipment are all foreign goods, and the cost is sometimes higher than foreign goods.

With such a manufacturing level, how can we compete with the West?

Returning to a powerful industrial country, the factory of the world, and not afraid of being heard, laughed out loud.

Xu Xingquan was afraid that Fei Nan would get angry, so he hurriedly answered, "With a talent like Mr. Fei, Dongfang Machinery Factory will surely thrive."

Feinan's face was calm, as if he didn't hear Zheng Xingqiao's sneer.

He looked at Xu Xingquan and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, believe it or not, within one year, Dongfang Machinery Factory can manufacture half of the equipment in Wanchang Yangxing Machinery Catalogue. , will surpass Wanchang Foreign Bank.”

Xu Xingquan glanced at Zheng Xingqiao, but did not rush to speak.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Xu family. After so many years of hard work, he has developed a keen observation ability and a strong psychological quality.

He sensed that behind Feinan's aggressive attitude, there was a real intention to seek cooperation.

After judging this, he quickly changed his attitude, changing his identity from what he thought was a blackmailed person to a businessman.

Then, he began to think about the authenticity of Feinan's words.

Even though he didn't know much about the mechanical equipment industry, he could still hear the arrogance of Feinan's words.

But in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little trust in these words.

It was as if the words were blowing too much, so that he had the illusion that "normal people dare not boast such a big cowhide, and those who dare to brag such a big cowhide must have some skills".

This delusion actually made him really start to think about what would happen if what Feinan said was true.

If all of Feinan's words come true, and China really becomes an industrial powerhouse, the factory of the world, then I am afraid that the money from all over the world will be brought into the country by the Chinese.

He has been a comprador for so many years, and he sees very clearly that when it comes to doing business, foreigners are really no match for the Chinese.

They are too rigid and completely inferior to the flexibility of Chinese businessmen.

The reason why they made a lot of money is entirely because their industrial level far exceeds that of the country, and their ships are strong and powerful.

If the industry of the Chinese people can really come from behind and no longer be coerced by the force of foreigners, then Chinese businessmen alone can eat up the dregs of those foreigners.

However, all of this must be based on what Feinan said is true.

Could his words be true?
If it was true, then why did he come to talk to himself?

After thinking about it, he finally judged that it might be because of the comprador industry itself.

Let's just say what he said is true!
Dongfang Machinery Factory has really mastered all the advanced industrial technologies of the West and can produce all the mechanical equipment that the West can produce, but the most fundamental problem is still in front of it.

What about the ingredients?
Is there so much steel for Dongfang Machinery Factory to produce machinery and equipment?

Hanyeping Company has basically been managed by businessmen from the Neon Country. During the European War, most of the iron ore produced by the Hanyang Iron Works was transported away by the Neon Country.

If domestic machinery factories want to buy steel, they have to buy it from overseas through compradors.

If Dongfang Machinery Factory wants to expand rapidly and develop rapidly, there must be no constraints on raw materials.

In a moment, he guessed Feinan's real intention.

As a result, Feinan, who had used the Sense of Words and Moods skill on him, couldn't help but sigh, after all, the young boss came from a business family, they were all smart, and their brains turned quickly.

But it's a pity that when I met him, no matter how fast my brain turned, it could only be used by him.

As soon as he entered the door, he used an air seat, just to create a huge psychological impact, so as to create favorable conditions for himself to hypnotize.

This information was originally intended to be instilled into the subconscious minds of the two of them after hypnosis, but Xu Xingquan did not expect that Xu Xingquan would deduce his intention based on some information he revealed.

Xu Xingquan's guess was right, the problem of raw materials is indeed the biggest problem of Dongfang Machinery Factory now.

The domestic steel output is really too small, and the several arsenals and machinery bureaus will divide their shares, and they will be completely divided, and there will be no leaks to the market.

Almost all the raw materials of Shanghai's machinery factory are bought from foreign firms or compradors, and they are paid one after another, so it is naturally difficult to reduce the cost.

This is the vicious means of the neon country trying to destroy our country.

Five years ago, when Commander Yuan was still alive, the Minister of the Neon Kingdom in China tried every means to force Beiyang to meet 21 unreasonable demands.

If agreed according to the requirements, the Neon Nation will firmly control China's core rights and interests such as territory, politics, military and finance in the hands of the Neon Nation.

Later, under the coercion and lure of the Neon Kingdom, Commander Yuan Da had to sign the unequal "Fourth Treaty of ***", which consolidated and expanded the power of the Neon Kingdom in Manchuria, Mongolia and Shandong, and also increased in South China. .

Among the subsidiary clauses of the treaty, there is a specific agreement on Hanyeping Company.

Since the signing of the treaty, Beiyang's loans to Neon Country have all been guaranteed by factory, mine property and iron ore, with a period of 30 years.

Except for the iron sand produced by Hanyang Iron Works for its own use, it must first be sold to Nihong people.

Although the selling price is negotiated by both parties, in fact, Neon Country purchases at cost price.

Since then, the domestic steel industry has been in a slump and has not been able to develop further until now.
