With more financial resources, Li Sheng's ultimate goal is to promote industrialization.
Then there is no doubt that it will naturally be bound to industry.
And industrial nature and technology are bound, then...
As the crystallization of technology in the steam age, and can even be said to be the totem of technology, clocks are of course the first choice!
Of course, Li Sheng's clock improvement plan cannot stop here.
certainly.
At this stage, Li Sheng is of course not very interested in making a pocket watch.
In fact, Li Sheng spent a lot of money this time to hire several of the best jewelry craftsmen to create fine pocket watch parts for himself, and finally pieced together one.
But this thing is what I will use in the next stage of going to sea, and it is a strictly needed item.
And then find a craftsman to continue making pocket watches...
Not to mention whether I would have the chance to spare so much time to assemble it.
Just asking a jewelry craftsman to make the parts is a huge investment.
The whole process is equivalent to opening an additional production line for pocket watches.
This is certainly conducive to the birth of precision industry, but if we really want to develop portable and miniaturized watch production lines, the investment is still too high.
Therefore, Li Sheng did not spend more time in this direction, but repeatedly modified the clock and continuously optimized the design.
In the end, he even made a clock that could chime to tell the time, which was simply a masterpiece.
However, this thing has not been listed at auction so far, and its future is unknown.
Li Sheng did not expand, and An Xin continued to strengthen.
Striving for excellence is the cornerstone of precision industry...
Snapped!
There was a clear sound of metal collision. Li Sheng looked at the time on his pocket watch and closed the cover.
Then he left the office and strolled out.
"By the way...it seems that the first batch of wood from southern Xinjiang has been delivered..."
…
the other side.
But he said...
Qi Wang, Wang Jing and others of the fifth surname, during this period...
From his hometown, he sold countless properties and collected a huge amount of liquidity.
In Hangzhou, it can be said that a room that originally looked quite large suddenly had several elephants squeezed into it.
And Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Pei Ji... and others are exactly the elephant cavalry riding elephants.
That’s called mighty!
Su Dashou saw Wang Jing and others every day, and now he became more and more respectful and respectful.
Wang Jing and others were naturally very proud.
This massive amount of land...
Although it has always produced a large amount of land rent in the past, it has also provided Wang Jing and others with delicious food, which is better than the luxurious life of the royal family.
But Wang Jing and others have always been bound by these properties.
This time, there was a large-scale sale of land.
The accumulated working capital is not comparable to the previous land rent, it is simply an astronomical figure.
How does it feel to hold astronomical numbers in your hands?
That's right, it's Wang Jing and others...
Life experience during this recent period.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand strings?"
"Yes, sir...is this a bit..."
The old housekeeper can't stand it anymore lately.
And since he is Wang Jing's retainer.
So after thinking about it for a while, the old housekeeper felt that it was still necessary to give Mr. Wang some advice.
So on this day, Wang Jing was drinking tea in the flower hall...
Suddenly, I saw the old housekeeper appear.
Speaking of which, Wang Jing used to be very comfortable with this old butler, but recently he has become more and more disgusted with him.
Mud, nothing good has happened this year.
Every time this hangman appears in a hurry, it's basically a bad thing, and it's all related to the evildoer Li Sheng.
Wang Jing couldn't help but suspect that this bastard thing had something to do with Li Sheng and was sent by that evildoer.
However, when the old housekeeper spoke now, Wang Jing was stunned.
"So? What do you want to say?"
"Well, Master, I have been doing the accounting for Master lately, and I see that the expenses are really quite high..."
The old housekeeper felt that this matter had to be said.
In less than a month, more than 200,000 yuan was spent.
Is this reasonable?
The old housekeeper couldn't explain clearly, but he felt that he had to mention this matter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jing's expression suddenly dropped.
"What's wrong?"
"what do you mean?"
"Are you saying that I, the master, spend money lavishly? Do you mean that I, the master, don't feel sorry for me if I betray you? Is that right?"
Wang Jing finished speaking with an unhappy face.
The old housekeeper was immediately frightened.
thump!
With a muffled sound, he knelt down to Wang Jing.
"Master, I don't dare!"
"The little one is just..."
"Haha. I'm sorry you don't dare to make irresponsible remarks to me, Master."
Wang Jing smiled proudly, but did not get angry.
Although this old butler is annoying, he is in a good mood recently and really has no intention of punishing him.
Compared with that, Wang Jing was in a comfortable mood at the moment, and wanted to educate the old housekeeper well.
"Since you asked the question sincerely... As for me, I will teach you with compassion."
"This matter is actually very simple. Master, I have plenty of money in my hands!"
"ah?"
The old housekeeper didn't understand for a moment.
I know that the master is rich - otherwise I wouldn't have come to be the housekeeper of the Wang family's house.
But...if you have money, you can't play like this...
But then, Wang Jing also told the truth.
"Sir, I said I have money. Do you think I'm so stupid that I start to treat money as money?"
"snort!"
"Do you think I can forget, sir? This is the inheritance accumulated by our ancestors?"
"hehe!"
Wang Jing is in high spirits!
Then, he said even more impassionedly.
"To tell you the truth, my master, when I said I was rich this time, I meant something completely different from the past. Do you still remember, my master, how many top-notch hardwoods I have collected in my house?"
"Good hardwood?"
The old housekeeper was startled, but then he came to his senses.
I am also one of the core people in charge of this matter. I have traveled countless miles to help the master. How could I not remember it?
But... doesn't this explain the problem even more?
"But...if the master wants to carry out large-scale construction, why did he buy so many clocks..."
The old housekeeper was very puzzled.
But when Wang Jing heard this, he laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Big construction project...you really want to laugh me to death."
"To tell you the truth, sir, I..."
Wang Jing was about to speak, but at this moment, a figure appeared from the door of the flower hall again.
It was none other than Pei Ji, who was smiling, leisurely, and elegant!
He directly took over Wang Jing's words, patted the old housekeeper on the shoulder and said.
"This time, your master and I are here... This time, the hoarding of wood is not for large-scale construction. As you can see, it is for shipbuilding!"
"shipbuilding?"
When the old housekeeper heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
