Chapter 106 Technical Analysis Bureau
The sun shines brightly on the tall branches and leaves of tall trees on May morning. Those pine trees, locust trees and willow trees stand arrogantly beside the lively road leading to Xiaguan Wharf. The road to Xiaguan Wharf has always been the most prosperous road in Nanjing. Whether it is Guangfu Avenue or Minzu Street, the development of Xiaguan Wharf in just ten months has far exceeded the development of the past few hundred years. It is even slowly becoming the most prosperous business district in Nanjing, which is obviously different from the official area in the city.
Although Nanjing, as the capital of the empire, adopts the most modern plan in planning, it does not mean that there is no commercial area in the official area, and there is no official area in the commercial area. In fact, the two are only the main and auxiliary relationship. It is located at the Technical Analysis Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Empire, which is located at No. 32 Minzu Street, Xiaguan New District, Nanjing.
On the surface, this Western-style stone wall with a Baroque-style building is not uncommon in Nanjing. In China, which promotes "Chinese modern architecture", pure Western-style buildings are not popular with architects, political axes and the public, but this still does not prevent some Western-style buildings adopted by political axe institutions, such as The Imperial Navy Department is not only a building, but the officers have a kind of British in their bones, and they are even proud of it. The Imperial Navy Department is also the only political axe institution that provides Western-style working meals.
And the Technical Analysis Bureau has not been very conspicuous in Nanjing, and even if no one has noticed the eight-paper-sized bronze medal on its side, almost no one will notice this political axe institution, which is called the "secondary institution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce", not to mention ordinary people, and even the vast majority of employees of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, do not know. The existence of the Technical Analysis Bureau.
The faint light gently swayed in the glass of brandy on the table, flashed on the dark surface of the antique furniture, strangely refracted in the crystal glass of the chandelier, and disappeared on the gorgeous carpet wrapped back in Xinjiang. The carpet is very big, exaggerated - it's huge. This carpet is like a ripe wheat field, stretching throughout the office.
Several famous landscape oil paintings are hung on the wall, and the wall skirt is inlaid with soaked cyber, all of which are successfully in harmony with the exquisite bar with Western style. Padded low stools, comfort chairs, sofas - all of which are wrapped in the finest red leather with gold embossing.
It is true that the overall style of this office is indeed a little incongruous with the "simple" style emphasized by the imperial political axe. Such a magnificent office is somewhat incongruous with the name of the "political axe institution", but sometimes some things are like this, which is far more luxurious than your majesty's office. Although it exists, it is almost difficult to attract the attention of the outside world.
In fact, the owner of this room is, to some extent, a cronies of His Majesty the Emperor.
After sitting on the gorgeous desk, Shi Si took out a document from the file box and opened it. A few seconds later, he began to reply in the document. To some extent, Shi Si, who has several positions, now spend most of the time in this office, resting next to the office. The room is his home.
And the position of the director of the Bureau of Technical Analysis is his most important position. Only those who work in this "no show" institution know that this technical bureau, which is ostensibly a secondary institution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, is actually no less than "judicial, education, army, navy" Finance, diplomacy, agriculture and commerce, and most of them, and even to some extent, his powers and responsibilities are far more important than other departments.
"Negotiate directly with Kryp Steel Company to set the introduction price of 3.5 million marks..."
After reading the first report, Shi Si picked up the water pen and gave instructions on the document, and this was his job. When the Technical Analysis Bureau was established last year, its purpose was to use "technical exploration" and "optimizing cutting-edge" measures, in the name of the country rather than in the name of the enterprise, and with the support of the political axe, Absorb the hundreds of years of technology accumulation in European and American countries with low cost and extremely high efficiency, and then transfer the patented technology to capable domestic companies and enterprises.
At the same time, the Technical Analysis Bureau is also the only institution in China that has a machine import license. When the Imperial Consultative Council approved the proposal that "whether official or private enterprises import machines, they must go through the Technical Analysis Bureau", foreign banks once cheered for it. They saw "oil and water", and only half a year later, in There are only "0" foreign companies in China that are still engaged in machine trade.
The reason for unified procurement is to achieve "large-scale" in the process of introducing machinery. It uses the offices of the Technical Analysis Bureau of embassies and consulates abroad to negotiate directly with foreign businessmen. While lowering the purchase price of the machine, it also divides and evaluates the technical quantity, equipment samples and process routes of foreign products. At the same time, the machine introduces its technology.
"... They can refuse and notify the customs to find an excuse to stop the German dye import license. The temporary difficulties in factory production can be overcome, but the Germans need the market, and we need technology..."
Finally, after nearly an hour of work, Shi Si put the file box in the file basket with the "signed" label, and then drank the tea on the table in one go.
Power!
In the short-term official business processing, those signatures and words involved in the institutions are close to the tone of orders. To some extent, they represent the power of the "Technical Analysis Bureau" as the host of this special authority. Whether in Nanjing or Shanghai, hundreds of kilometers away, people often call him with the nickname "old old board": some people have flattery, some have subconscious fear, and some have public hatred.
For the Technical Analysis Bureau, some people like it and some people hate it! However, for Shi Si, he knows the important surname of this institution. Whether he likes it or hates it, what he has to do is to do it as well as possible.
At this time, thinking of another thing, Shi Si picked up the phone.
"Get your car ready, I'm going to see your majesty!"
While putting down the phone, Shi Si got up and left the office. Whether as a "dragon minister" or as the director of the "Technical Analysis Bureau", he could give him a "privilege" that outsiders could not get, and he could see His Majesty whenever he needed it.
"When can I have a good holiday!"
Lazily leaned against the circle chair, rubbing his sour right hand, Chen Moran said to himself. Although it will take a month to avoid the summer heat in Bieyuan, this government affairs did not stop because I was in Bieyuan.
Although there is no "power to live and kill" of the old emperor, there is no one in China who doubts the fundamental theory that "I am the country", and no one will doubt that "I am the country". It is the fundamental fact in China. Because of this, Chen Moran, as the emperor, has far more power than the three [* **] The kings of the country, whether it is the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or even the Ottoman Empire, the power of their emperors, to a certain extent, is inferior to Chen Moran. The tsar needs to consider the opinions of the ministers' meeting, the Austro-Hungarian Empire needs to consider the opinions of the parliament, and the supreme sultan's power is only "to "The highest."
Chen Moran, who rules one of the four empires in the world, knows what kind of power he has, the supreme power... Uh-huh! It's very tempting, but... it's also very tired.
"If it really doesn't work, I will make a constitution in the future! Throw this pile of things to others..."
He said so, but Chen Moran knew that if he gave up his power, he would really... be reluctant. A man can't be said to be powerless, let alone supreme power?
Tired is tired, and things always have to be done. The mistakes of officials will harm the people, but the mistakes of the emperor may destroy the whole country. I can still distinguish the importance of this.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shi, please see me!"
The report of the attendant made Chen Moran smile on his face. Compared with boring government instructions, he still likes to listen to other people's reports. On the one hand, it is more detailed when others explain it, but on the most important hand, it is easy for anyone to immerse himself in other people's compliments.
"Please let him in!"
When he said this, Chen Moran straightened his chest slightly, and even deliberately buttoned the originally loosened military uniform. The Chinese emperor did not need a dragon robe, but only a military uniform.
"I have met your majesty!"
Entering this Western-style study, Shi Si gave a respectful salute. He had repeatedly criticized others for his disrespectful words. Of course, he would not make the same mistake.
"Free gift, give me a seat!"
As soon as he stretched out his right hand, he took a white Western-style soft chair near the wall of the servant's bookstore and tilted it 15 to 25 degrees on the left in front of His Majesty's desk. As a minister, he could not sit face to his Majesty.
"Sui Bo, what can I do for you?"
After signaling to the waiter to retreat, Chen Moran smiled and looked at his majesty who was sitting. He had always liked this person very much. In addition to his talent and learning, there was another point of his respect for himself. Sometimes, it was their cautious respect that made him, the emperor who did not have the "three palaces and six courtyards", a little experience a Some "imperial" feeling.
"Your Majesty, I have a "Recommendation on Imperial Industrial Planning" drafted by experts from the Technical Bureau. Please take a look at it!"
Standing up respectfully, Shi Si held a document with both hands. The thickness of the document was about two centimeters, almost one or two hundred pages. Looking only at the thickness of the document, Chen Muran suddenly felt a scalp numb. Although his scalp was numb, he said it.
"Oh? Is that so? Imperial Industrial Planning Suggestions? Sui Bo, you are overpowering!"
Taking over the thick plan with a smile, Chen Moran did not look at it at the first time.
"Your Majesty, I'm just a little loyalty to be a minister!"
"Hmm! OK, Suibo, anyway, I can't finish it for a while. I'm not in a hurry to watch it for the time being. Just tell me about this imperial industrial planning advice!"
