Chapter 110 Minsheng Automobile Factory
The two came down from Kunlun Mountain, traveled two thousand miles a day, and came to Xi'an.
The Qin family set up a "Ci'an Hospital" in the city of Xi'an, and also a branch of the "Cathay Pharmaceutical Factory", which specializes in the production of sulfonamide drugs and aspirin; in addition, the medical device factory also has a branch here, mainly producing surgical materials such as bandages and gauze.
Qin Di and Yan Xue took Yan Xue to inspect the situation of the three companies one by one.
Xi'an is an ancient city with a very glorious history, but with the changes of the times, it gradually became quiet.
After many renovations, what later generations saw was no longer the city walls of the Tang Dynasty, but mainly left behind during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Xi'an City has four city gates, originally there were gate towers, arrow towers and main towers.
During the Republic of China, all four gate towers were demolished, the main building of the north gate and the arrow tower of the south gate were destroyed by artillery fire, and many city walls were destroyed. Until the 21st century, some of the city walls were preserved and 18 doors were opened.
The circumference of Xi'an city wall is 13 kilometers, which is a big city.
Ci'an Hospital is built on "Shangren Road", a commercial area with people coming and going, and it is very prosperous.
The pharmaceutical factory and medical device factory were built in the northeast of the city, where there was originally a Manchu soldier stationed in Manchu city. It was burned down during the Revolution of 1911, thus becoming a blind spot in Xi'an city.
Qin Di visited here, talked to the factory manager and manager, and then increased the capital of each factory by 2 million to allow them to expand their production scale.
Moreover, he asked someone to build warehouses and air raid shelters here. If the products cannot be sold, they will be collected and stored. When wars are in the future, they will naturally come in handy.
Qin Di also wanted to build a "Qin Family Grain Train" here, but because of inconvenient transportation, Xi'an is 250 kilometers away from the Yellow River and the Qin family has no transportation convoy yet, so this matter cannot be done for the time being. If transported by train, it is necessary to establish a relationship. Large-scale grain transportation will cause a lot of noise.
Two days later, they left Xi'an and took a train to return to the Magic City.
The first thing that happened when he returned to the Magic City was that Qin Di asked Yan Xue to send a telegram to Old John in the United States to ask if there was a bankrupt truck company.
Soon, John Old John replied that the American automobile industry was monopolized by several established companies such as Ford, General Motors, and Chevrolet. These companies are very large in scale and there is no sign of bankruptcy for the time being. In 1930, the number of car ownership in the United States was very high, with 252 vehicles owning one thousand people! 60% of the families owning cars accounted for. With such a large demand, it is not easy to go bankrupt.
Qin Di asked about the truck again, but the result was not satisfactory. The truck load in this year was very small, only 1 ton and 2 tons.
The type of White 666 six-ton truck will not be available until 1940.
Qin Di naturally couldn't stand a truck with a load of 2 tons, and the load capacity was not enough to be stuck between the teeth. Even if there were 100 vehicles, it would only be 200 tons at a time! And the grain transported by an ocean-going ship was tens of thousands of tons.
So Qin Di had to put aside his intention to form a convoy.
However, he notified Old John and asked him to buy a batch of cars and send them over, preparing to provide them to the managers under Qin's family.
At this time, the price of a car was only over a thousand dollars. He bought thirty cars at once, but it didn't cost much.
A few days later, Zhang Naijing brought his children to Qin Mansion again.
Because Zhu Wan loves her two children very much, Zhang Naijing and Qin Ling have to come over often.
Qin Di and Zhang Naijing chatted and talked about the automobile industry, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Naijing smiled and said, "Actually you don't know that there are also automobile factories in China."
Qin Di asked: "Where is there?"
Zhang Naijing said: "It's in the Northeast! I heard from my uncle that since May last year, Zhang Xueshan allocated 740,000 yuan to the Liaoning Mortar Factory as the start-up capital for domestic cars. They hired Miles from the United States as chief engineer, and summoned a group of technical backbones from major domestic universities to form the "Minsheng Automobile Factory" with more than 200 employees. Moreover, their research has made progress, and part of the construction has been imported from the United States. Perhaps in another year, a truck with a load of 3 tons will be launched."
Qin Di was a little surprised, and then he thought that one year later, the incident would begin. At that time, Zhang Xueshan ran away and handed over the entire Northeast to Japan! Then this "Minsheng Automobile Factory" would become Japan!
Thinking of this, he felt very unhappy.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Your uncle is the chairman of the Construction Committee of the Republic of China. Can you let him think of a way to transfer the Minsheng Automobile Factory to the pass?"
Zhang Naijing shook his head: "After Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Xueshan took over the Northeast. He was young and energetic, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Not to mention my uncle, even Mr. Qing's words were useless!"
Qin Di sighed, "That's a pity."
"What a pity?"
"I told you last time that if the Japanese want to invade China, the first thing they covet is the Northeast. Perhaps it won't take long to complete the entire Northeast! All factories in the Northeast will be controlled by the Japanese."
Zhang Naijing was half-believing and half-doubted. He knew that Qin Di was very capable. Not only was helmsman of the Qin family's wealth, but he was also a Go master, but he didn't know that Qin Di had superpowers and memories of reincarnation.
Every time he heard Qin Di say what would happen to the Japanese, he doubted whether this guy was crazy about gaining or losing his heart.
Qin Di thought for a while and said, "I want to give you a fortune, but I don't know if you are willing to accept it? I will give you ten million yuan and ask your uncle to take action. I will discuss with Zhang Xueshan to buy his "Minsheng Automobile Factory". All the researchers, including all the researchers, will be transferred to the Magic City. If this matter can be done, I will let you be the chairman and give you half of the shares."
Zhang Naijing was surprised, looked up at him and said, "Are you serious? Ten million oceans, even if you build a factory from scratch, it's more than enough."
"The top of tens of millions of oceans is over. If the price can be reduced, all the money saved will be invested as working capital in the automobile factory. Half of the final income will be returned to the Zhang family and half of the Qin family."
Zhang Naijing blinked and smiled, "I'll ask my uncle if he has hope of doing it."
Qin Di directly wrote a check of 10 million yuan for him!
Since you want to accomplish great things, you must make a quick decision and not delay or hesitate.
Zhang Naijing took the check and was excited. He left the Demon City that afternoon and went to Jinling, where he saw his uncle Zhang Jinjiang.
After that, the matter was delayed for half a year before the final result was achieved.
Zhang Jinjiang, Qin Di and Zhang Xueshan reached a tripartite agreement, and Cathay Pharmaceutical sold 3,000 penicillin and fifty boxes of sulfonamide to the Northeast Army at 80% of the market price every year. On this basis, the Qin and Zhang families invested another 3 million oceans to buy the "Minsheng Automobile Factory", and all the data and researchers, together with more than a dozen machine tools, were packaged and transported to the south. A factory was rebuilt in Hongkou District of the public concession, to the north of the old tap water plant, and the name of "Minsheng Automobile Factory".
After the factory was completed, an experienced factory manager was hired, named "Wang Shouming", from "Huaihoutang" in Suzhou, graduated from Cambridge University. It is said that his ancestor was Wang Yang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Qin Di refused to show up, Zhang Naijing served as the chairman of Minsheng Automobile Factory.
Zhang Naijing has another company in charge. He is well-dressed and glamorous every day, and has become a celebrity in the business world of the Magic City. However, he knows very well that most of the wealth in his name comes from Qin Di. In the final analysis, he is benefiting from his wife Qin Ling.
Qin and Han Cheng had no intention of splitting up from beginning to end, and obviously regarded Qin Di as his only heir. In this year, men and women were not equal, and their daughter became an outsider when she got married.
Qin Ling and Qin Yue had no objection, because they both had their own pursuits, as long as they were not short of money, they didn’t need to look at the shining gold and silver every day. With the support of the huge Qin family and the support of powerful brothers, they felt safe in their hearts.
