Chapter 66 Get! Get it!
"The Iron of Hanyang!"
As soon as the four words came out, Sheng Xuanhuai, who had just reached out to hold the teacup because of his dry mouth, had a meal with his left hand, but only a moment. When he picked up the teacup with his left hand, Sheng Xuanhuai first said softly. His action was tight in Chen Moran's eyes. He still knew the gift of delivering tea to the guests. Could it be that Chen Moran was thinking about it in his heart.
Sheng Xuanhuai pointed to Chen Moran's tea cups on the table.
"Please have tea!"
Hearing these two words, Chen Moran and Sun Mingjiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Sheng Xuanhuai did not seem to notice it. He tasted a sip of tea. When he drank tea, Chen Moran observed it carefully and found that his mind did not seem to be on the tea.
Sheng Xuanhuai's meditation gave Chen Moran confidence in his heart and punched him with both hands.
"Your Excellency, now Hanyang Iron Factory is in a predicament, and there is no need for the younger generation to say more! The adult has presided over Han Yeping for several years, and it must be clearer than the younger generation. Today, the younger generation visits the adult, one is to solve the adult's worries, and the other is for the selfishness.
Although the language is respectful, it is not respectful. Although he has been learning the word of etiquette, Chen Moran always can't learn the politeness and complicated etiquette of people in this era.
"Five years ago, the adult took over the Hanyang Iron Factory. Although he relied on the construction of Pingxiang Coal Mine by virtue, Shangli and the Borrowing style of Yiben Dalun, and opened a railway to solve the worry of Hanyang's fuel. Now there is no shortage of coal coke. I think we can expand the steel plant, but now the problem is steel! It can be said that the current steel of Hanyang has determined the life and death of Hanyang!"
When it came to steel, Chen Moran noticed that Sheng Xuanhuai raised his eyebrows and knew that he had come to the point. In the Shanghai market, imported steel is more than 30 taels per ton, but no one has paid attention to it to Hanyang Factory.
"Yes, for several years, adults have been afraid that they have been worried about Hanyang! What's more, if the steel problem is not solved now, I'm afraid that Hanyang will eventually go bankrupt!"
At the moment when Chen Moran said this, Sheng Xuanhuai looked directly at Chen Moran and raised his eyebrows to speak.
"Yes, it seems that when you come to the house today, what you want is not small!"
Sheng Xuanhuai's words made Chen Moran smile.
"as the adults said, there is no it, but there is still some financial resources! This time, I returned to China to show my skills. Before returning to China, I asked experts abroad to test the iron of Daye and the coal of Pingxiang, both of which are of the best. The coal of Ping Mine has less ash and light sulfon and phosphorus. It is the most suitable for ironmaking. It is a rare good coal in China. As for the iron ore..."
When it came to the key point, Chen Moran suddenly stopped talking. On the contrary, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea by himself. His appearance made Sheng Xuan feel nervous. The steel of Hanyang Iron Factory is easy to be brittle and easy to break, which has always been a problem for him. However, seeing Chen Moran's appearance, Sheng Xuanhuai, who has been in business for a long time, will not know what he wants. With a smile in his heart, he also picked up a cup and drank tea, as if he didn't care at all. The same.
This change made Sun Mingjiu, who was beside him, look at him. He thought that the two of them were not on the right time, but they were right first. They were bored and inconvenient to interrupt. So he also picked up the cup, and the three of them held the cup, which only surprised the servants in the room.
Drinking tea and wasting time, Chen Moran, who was a little bored, hummed the song in his heart. He was not in a hurry. Sheng Xuanhuai was more anxious than him. Even if the Hanyang Iron Factory did not start work, he had to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.
When I was in college, I read several papers about Hanyang Iron Factory. The most famous Zhang Zhidong's stove is convenient to make, and I have all kinds of mines in China. As a result, Daye's iron contains too much phosphorus, and the furnace shipped from the United Kingdom is not suitable. The steel produced by Hanyang Iron Factory is fragile and broken, which cannot be used for forging or casting, and the manufactured rails cannot be used. The quality of steel is poor, brittle and easy to break. Naturally, it is the heart disease of Hanyang Iron Factory, and it is also the heart disease of Sheng Xuanhuai.
And this heart disease, in history, should be four years later, after Li Weige went abroad for investigation, he invited experts in the United Kingdom to test the iron of Daye and the coal in Pingxiang, and found out the cause, which was considered to bring Hanyang Iron Factory back to life.
A little ancient atmosphere permeated the hall. The pointer of the clock in the hall rotated, one minute, two minutes... The tea in the cup was cold, and the water was exhausted. Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Chen Moran with calm eyes. He didn't know how many times he raised the idea of "delivering tea to the guests", but every time he stopped, Hanyang Tie The factory is one of his heart problems.
Product quality is actually the lifeline of the enterprise. After the steel refined from the Hanyang factory was not qualified, Sheng Xuanhuai was determined to find out the crux of the problem. He couldn't figure out that coal is iron sand, and it's just foreign technology and Western-style machinery and equipment. Why are the products refined by foreigners of high quality, but not?
Now the young man in front of him doesn't say what it is. The appearance of this picture has asked for makes Sheng Xuanhuai, a figure in the business world who has been floating for decades, feel blocked for a while.
At the beginning, he seemed to be watching Sun Mingjiu, who was still fighting between the two. At this time, he was in a hurry and kept wink at Chen Moran. Seeing that Chen Moran looked ignored, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
This is not an ordinary businessman. He has the brand of Lord Li, and he is still a second-grade member in the court. The enterprise can be provoked by you as a "peddler".
The reason why Chen Moran ignored it is very simple. Many times, officials and businessmen such as Sheng Xuanhuai would rather give it to outsiders than to the Chinese people. Only when they have the initiative can they induce him to agree to their conditions.
"Yes!"
Finally, after nearly half an hour of fighting, Sheng Xuanhuai took the initiative to break the silence.
"How are the test results!"
After it became clear that he had the initiative, Chen Moran smiled.
"Sir, Daye iron ore, the iron content is of the highest quality, reaching 60, but the phosphorus content is too high!"
"The phosphorus content is too high!"
"Is the phosphorus content too high?"
Sheng Xuanhuai and Sun Mingjiu were both surprised, while Chen Moran just nodded.
"Sir, in fact, the root cause of Hanyang steel is that it is easy to brittle and break. The fundamental reason is that the ore contains too much phosphorus, so the phosphorus removal method should be adopted in the process of smelting. When Zhang Zhidong set up the factory, he ignored the technical problem of such a key surname. The stoves used were all using the acid method. In this way, not only could not remove phosphorus, but the situation was even worse.
Chen Moran's words are easy to say, but it is this technical error that has caused China's steel industry to spend more than ten years, deplete more than tens of thousands of costs, and the loss is extremely painful. Finally, even Han Yeping, the largest steel conglomerate in the Far East, actually consumed a lot of money because of one person's arbitrary mistake at the beginning. After the capital, it is still held by the enemy country.
"That! However, how to get rid of this phosphorus!"
At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai seems to be quite eager.
"It's very simple. If you abandon the acid-name converter, if you change to the alkaline Martin furnace, you can refine high-quality steel."
Simple! The method is very simple, just change the stove. But when Sheng Xuanhuai heard this method, he frowned more tightly.
It's not easy to replace the steelmaking furnace. The losses of Hanyang Iron Factory over the years have already made Hanye Pingtai high. To get rid of this dilemma, there is no other way out than to expand production and sales. The machine furnace in Hanchang is old and few, not to mention that the steel produced has no market. If you want to expand the market, you must change the machine furnace.
But now Hanyang Iron Factory has no official funds, no commercial stocks, and no foreign debt. Now the fundamental problem of the iron factory finally falls on the silver. Everything is empty, and only silver is the most real thing.
Silver... Thinking of this thing, Sheng Xuanhuai looked at this "lame hero Chen" and asked foreign experts to test coal and iron first. He thought it was like himself a few years ago. I'm afraid he had been plotting against Han Yeping for a long time. This son's financial resources were beyond his imagination, but he was ambitious. If he is attracted to add Hanyang, I'm afraid... Sheng Xuanhuai will value his own interests more.
When he frowned and thought about it, Chen Moran had been observing Sheng Xuanhuai. Seeing that he was first relaxed and tight again, he occasionally looked at his eyes, which made him suddenly clear why Sheng Xuanhuai was like this.
Self-interest. It was Sheng Xuanhuai who destroyed Han Yeping for personal gain. According to the historical development track, Sheng Xuanhuai has repeatedly used harsh conditions to develop Han Yeping, and even turned Han Yeping into a vassal Japanese loan. He said that his purpose is so sinister. Doesn't the shrewd Sheng Xuanhuai understand?
Of course he understood, but he actively found ways and ideas for the Japanese side. His starting point was how to protect his huge family property from being plotted by the Qing court. Xinhai later borrowed many times to accept more stringent loan conditions. In order to keep his family property, he did not hesitate to attract wolves into the house and take care of himself.
Yuan Shikai once thought about nationalizing Han Yeping, but Sheng Xuanhuai firmly opposed it. For this reason, he couldn't wait to send a secret telegram to the party, hoping to hand over Han Yeping to the party as soon as possible. He was very concerned about Sheng Xuanhuai's health. It is estimated that he had lung disease and hemoptysis. In the future, he can only live five years later. I'm afraid that after five years, don't replace it. With the sudden change, the purchase of iron ore will fail.
So I strive to finalize the loan one by one when Sheng Xuanhuai still has a breath. Out of self-interest, Sheng Xuanhuai also threw himself into the trap step by step, so that Han Yeping was trapped in the debt of the saying and could not extricate himself. Finally, he was completely controlled by himself. Under the leadership of himself, Han Yeping first stopped the furnace and completely reduced to his own mineral coke supply base. So far, Han Yeping took the supply of the original as his primary task. It is said that I have supervised and mastered the production and financial rights, and there is a military stationed there. Han Yeping, who spent tens of millions, was destroyed in his hands. It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that the Chinese political axe had to control Han Yeping again. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, it was taken back by the political axe.
Since he is worried, he will make everything clear. He is full of official habits from the construction to the order of Han Yeping. The people who use [***] and the people who use are not greedy, and no one is not greedy for what he does. Chen Moran is not very interested in it. It is, Zhang Zhidong and Sheng Xuanhuai, who can't cure Han Yeping. Swollen [***], not to mention him.
The reason why Chen Moran came here today is very simple. The reason is to let Sheng Xuanhuai drink the financial poison milk in history, but the milk supplier is Chen Moran, not the Japanese capital bank. The fighting with him in the front is all because this person's name is cunning. If he is not forced, he will never accept his "suggestion".
"Your Excellency, you still have some financial resources to help. If you are willing, you are willing to provide a lot of loans of 8 million taels to Han Zhiping in three years!"
"Oh!"
Maybe Sheng Xuanhuai's family has a big career and tens of millions of people, but he can't help but be shocked when he hears this. Sun Mingjiu looked at Chen Moran with an incredible look. He never thought that Chen slitt was so rich, but he wanted to provide 8 million taels in three years. He thought that Chen slitt had his own way of financing.
"I'm afraid, but I dare not take these eight million taels lightly!"
"Get, get, but you need nothing else. Adults only need to use Han Zhiping's pig iron and coke to repay!"
