Chapter 44 Site Construction

Now the Zhao family has taken out 150,000 taels of silver. Although this 150,000 is not much, it is also the largest figure that the Zhao family can raise in a short time. If you want to take out more, you really have to sell fixed industries such as farms and shops.

"In addition to the 150,000 taels I brought from my home, plus the 10,000 taels of cash you took out from Baoding House, a total of 160,000 taels of silver were invested in the Fuyuan yarn factory, so that the equity of the Fuyuan yarn factory is divided into four rooms of my Zhao family!" Zhao Chenliang said, "Of course, the big head is still your third house, accounting for 70% of the shares, the big house accounts for 1third share, my third house accounts for 7 shares, and the fourth house accounts for 1 share."

With the investment of other houses of the Zhao family, Fuyuan Yarn Factory has become the share of the Zhao family. Although the previous stock price of 200,000 taels of Fuyuan Yarn Factory has been much higher, in the share distribution of Fuyuan Yarn Factory, the share distribution of Zhao Family Sifang did not strictly according to their respective capital. , but favoring Zhao Dongyun's side, the reason is very simple, because Zhao Dongyun is the guarantee for the development and expansion of Fuyuan Yarn Factory and the greatest guarantee established by Fuyuan Machinery Factory, while the investment in other houses can only take out money, which can be regarded as a ride.

When Fuyuan Yarn Factory absorbed up to 160,000 taels of cash, it was still far from controlling the controlling stake of Fuyuan Machine Factory, so Zhao Dongyun directly mortgaged many equipment and factories in Fuyuan Yarn Factory, and loaned 80,000 taels from Hong Xuwei's Dingsheng ticket number respectively, and then to Zhou Xuexi's Tianjin official bank number. Loan of 70,000 taels.

In this way, Fuyuan yarn factory has collected 310,000 taels of cash. Although this number is less than half of the expected total share capital, it can't be calculated in this way, because it is Fuyuan Machinery Factory first run by Fuyuan yarn factory. If future generations want to invest, it is not about how many shares as they give, but one by one, and When absorbing investment, it is premium absorption.

For example, when the total share capital is only 1 million taels, you can only get 40% or less of the shares of 500,000 taels of silver, and you can't get 50% of the shares.

In this way, after Fuyuan Machinery Factory absorbed 530,000 cash investment, Fuyuan Yarn Factory only paid 97% of the shares, and Fuyuan Yarn Factory still controls 43 percent of the shares. Although less than half of the shares retained, Fuyuan Yarn Factory is still the largest shareholder of Fuyuan Machinery Factory. .

The second largest shareholder is the Dingsheng ticket number under the name of Hong Xuwei, who has invested 100,000 shares and occupies 10% of the shares, while the remaining shares held by other shareholders are in single digits. In addition, it is worth noting that although more than 20 senior officials in Beiyang only take thousands or tens of thousands, they also invest together. There are more than 80,000 taels. Although the investment is much less than that of Dingsheng Ticket, it also accounts for 10% of the shares.

So in less than a month, Fuyuan Machinery Factory has collected more than 800,000 cash, and at this time, they have not even determined the address of the factory!

The fund-raising of Fuyuan Machinery Factory can be said to be the fastest fund-raising in China in recent years. In less than a month, it has pulled down more than 800,000 taels of cash, and sufficient cash has also greatly increased the construction speed of Fuyuan Machinery Factory.

Before the capital was fully in place, that is, when the Fuyuan Machinery Factory was just established, Zhao Chenbin had signed a contract with Li and Yanghang to order machinery and equipment. The first contract included a complete set of production equipment of 50 88 rifles and 20,000 yuan per day. Five thousand 7.92mm round warhead Mauser bullet production line, the above two sets of equipment are old, in addition to a new 300-pound daily smokeless gunpowder production line. In addition to these large-head equipment, the raw materials needed to make guns and bullets were also purchased.

In addition to the introduction of materials, in fact, the employment of technical personnel is also a big project. In order to enable the smooth installation and production of these equipment after arriving in China, Lihe Yanghang promised to hire relevant technical experts to work in China for a certain period of time. Of course, the high salary will be paid by Fuyuan Machinery Factory.

The machine has been set, but the site has not been selected at this time, and this is not something that Zhao Dongyun can decide by himself, because in essence, this Fuyuan machine factory is a collective enterprise in Beiyang and must serve Beiyang Group militarily and politically, so the problem of site selection has to be examined from the height of the whole Beiyang. I'm worried.

At the beginning, Yuan Shikai said that it could be built in Texas, saying that the deep interior of Texas could avoid military strikes by great powers. At the same time, due to the existence of canals, transportation was also more convenient.

However, it was collectively rejected by several executives of the machine factory. Their reason is that the new transportation factory must be selected in an area with convenient transportation, sea transportation and railway, preferably in Tianjin. Of course, if Tianjin does not work, Beijing and Tangshan can barely do it, otherwise they will simply choose Baoding or Shijiazhuang. Anyway, I don't want to go to Texas.

To be honest, there is no geographical advantage in running large-scale military enterprises in that small place in Texas. Even if it will be better to open railway transportation in the future, it will be many years later, and it is not yet that time. A large part of Yuan Shikai chose here because it is located in the middle of Shandong and Zhili, and Shandong and Zhili are his nests. Texas is his old territory, which can reassure him.

Finally, after arguing for a few days, he saw that the machinery and equipment had begun to be shipped in Germany. Naturally, it was impossible not to choose the factory site, so in the end, Yuan Shikai still considered the commercialization practice and said that it could be set up in Tangshan.

In fact, for Zhao Dongyun, there is no problem to set up in Tianjin or Tangshan. He knows that the landing of the Eight-nation Alliance in Tianjin will not happen again, at least until history has not changed much. If China does not go to war with all major powers, then the arsenal Safety can still be guaranteed.

However, Tianjin has too many concessions, so I finally chose Tangshan, which has convenient transportation. Relying on the Tangjin Railway, it can efficiently import equipment and raw materials and transport finished arms out at the same time.

In addition, Tangshan has a lot of coal, which is better for arsenals that consume more coal. In addition, Zhao Dongyun is also considering establishing an affiliated steel mill, which will be more convenient to be close to the coal-producing area.

After selecting the site of the factory, the things on the other side of Fuyuan Machinery Factory are almost finished. Although the rest of the factory construction matters are cumbersome, there is no need for Zhao Dongyun to worry about anything. Naturally, a group of people from Fuyuan Machinery Factory will deal with it, otherwise they will spend so much money to hire them to do.

"You don't care if you invest so much money, don't you have to worry?" Fang Ruolian said as she cut the iced watermelon into pieces, and then forked a piece of watermelon meat to Zhao Dongyun's hand.

Zhao Dongyun was like an old man. He lay on the lounge chair, took a bite of the iced watermelon and said, "This summer is really hot!"

Fang Ruolian annoyed him to change the topic, so she did not pass the watermelon to him, but ate it by herself. The watermelon meat cut into small pieces entered her mouth one by one after another. After a while, Zhao Dongyun, who was about to finish eating the table and lying on it, quickly turned over and sat up. The last few pieces of watermelon meat fork As he ate, he said, "You are so unnatural. Why are you eating so fast?"

Fang Ruolian laughed!

Since Zhao Dongyun broke into her room on a dark and windy night a month ago, she didn't know what was wrong. She seemed to forget to resist and forget the God she had been talking about in her heart. As if everything came so natural, she seemed to live with him unconsciously.

Is this like falling in love? She didn't know, but she was sure that it was definitely not the kind of love in the book, because he didn't even say a gentle word to her, let alone those likes, love or not, and she didn't have the feelings or blushes mentioned in the book.

So she was confused by the relationship between herself and Zhao Dongyun, but although she was a little confused about the relationship between the two, she still likes the current feeling.

"It's dark. Let's go back to the house!" Although the summer night comes late, it will still come. Although it is cool in the yard, there are many mosquitoes and it is not good to stay for a long time.

As he spoke, he had already stood up, then bent down to Fang Ruolian, and then picked her up, which attracted her screams. However, Zhao Dongyun ignored her struggle, took her directly back to the room, and then went straight to the bedroom upstairs, and then there were bursts of laughter upstairs, only It didn't take long for the laughter to turn into a moan.

Housekeeper Xu downstairs closed the door while sighing and said for a long time, "It's not okay to always fool around like this. It seems that we have to send a telegram to the old lady of Xuzhou!"

Butler Xu's action was still fast. The next day, he sent a telegram to his hometown in Xuzhou. Then Zhao's mother heard that her son was messing with other wild women who came out of nowhere in Baoding, and they lived together without a name. She immediately sent a very harsh telegram to Baoding.

Zhao Dongyun was severely reprimanded, but Zhao's mother did not learn from those traditional parents to directly give him an engagement or something, but sent a telegram to Zhao Chenliang, who was in Baoding, to find a suitable woman to marry.

It's just that Zhao Dongyun is now a middle and senior official in Beiyang, and his marriage is often equivalent to another word: marriage. In fact, there are really few people who are qualified to marry Zhao Dongyun, and there are fewer people who have suitable daughters among these few people. Anyway, after asking about Baoding, Zhao Chenliang found that there were really few choices. He had no choice but to expand the scope of choices. Finally, in the case of looking for a needle in the big net, he really found a few A suitable marriage partner.
