Chapter 376 The main business direction of the Baoding factory area!
"Your Majesty, there is no participation from the palace! I'm afraid it won't be enough to set up a factory area in Baoding, right?" Different from the previous ministers who had strong resistance to palace affairs, now all the prefectures and prefectures are eager to have the palace under their control.
How can we set up factories and establish districts on the land? How can we engage in industry in a factory district without palace property? How can an industry of three melons and two jujubes developed by private and commercial businesses support a large factory district? Don’t look at Miyun and Tangshan.
There are few private-sector factories, but to be honest, few of them can survive independently without giving birth.
"There are difficulties! But they may not be insurmountable! First of all, we have to find the correct positioning and advantages. If it is too similar to Miyun and Tangshan, even if the palace is involved, it may not be possible to build the factory area. Miyun has trade routes with foreign countries and the capital.
Even the maritime trade market has formed a basic system since it started relatively early. Tangshan has various minerals and is close to Tianjin Port, and it is now booming. What is the advantage of Baoding? I think it is close.
In the hinterland of the Central Plains, although the Jin region, the Central Plains and Shandong are still in chaos, overall, it is still better than in previous years. Moreover, the construction of the factory area must be appropriately advanced, and preparations must be made for the future restoration of this area by the imperial court.
Good preparation. Therefore, when determining the main industry of the Baoding factory area, we should consider the needs of the Central Plains market."
"The demand of the Central Plains market? What the people of the Central Plains need should not be much different from other places, right?" Wu Di didn't understand what Zhu Youjian meant! Whether it was Miyun or the factory area of Tangshan, what they produced
When things are put on the Central Plains market, aren't there still a lot of people selling them? Don't the people of the Central Plains still want these things? Don't they have any special needs? I really haven't discovered this!
"Demand is two-way! When building a factory area, you must consider not only what to sell, but also what to buy from them! For example, in Miyun, wool can be purchased from outside the country. With wool, two-way interoperability can be achieved, and the market can be more open.
Make it bigger. What can Baoding get from the Central Plains? You can't just rely on money to realize commercial and property exchanges, right? In this way, won't the money in the Central Plains become less and less?"
"The Central Plains has so many natural products that I can't think of anything that can be regarded as the main product!" What Wu Di actually wanted to say is that Baoding in the Central Plains is basically useless. Why should we go further?
"Since Guangbo, how can we make a fuss from Guangbo? Can cotton spinning, vehicle parts, building materials, agricultural tools and related machinery manufacturing be the main industries of Baoding Factory Area?"
"Cotton! This is indeed an industry that can benefit both parties!"
"Baoding is building a factory area! I and the imperial court must not sit idly by, but the way we do it this time is different from before. I asked the Royal Bank to give you a low-interest loan of two million silver dollars. One million silver dollars will be used to build steel.
factory and related factories, and the other one million you use to build related infrastructure in the factory area. You find the management of the steel plant from big businessmen in Baoding and nearby, and let them jointly build a large steel plant with bank loans.
, the imperial court will direct some of the railway track orders to them! In addition, the investment and construction of the factory area will be all done by you! The success or failure depends entirely on you!"
Steel is the basis of industry. There should be iron mines in Baoding. Building a steel base can solve the supply problems of a series of industrial chains. Baoding is close to the Central Plains farming area. Even if it does not produce machinery, it should rely on making rails and agricultural tools.
Can solve most of the production capacity.
The development of the cotton spinning industry in Baoding should be a good option. Beizhili itself is a major cotton planting province. Cotton is also widely grown in the Central Plains, Shandong, and Taiyuan Valleys. Of course, the current textile machinery is still too inefficient, and it should not be able to meet the large-scale absorption of surrounding materials.
The demand for provincial cotton production capacity. Zhu Youjian remembers that in later generations, Japan produced a foot-operated loom, which produced good-quality cloth and high efficiency. After it was imported to China in the 1920s and 1930s,
, deeply loved by the Chinese people, and even had an impact on the Japanese cotton spinning industry. For this reason, Japan also banned sales to China. If similar looms can be produced, there will be no problem in Baoding becoming a textile center.
The so-called vehicle equipment is actually wheels and axles! In the future, the demand for standard wheels, frames, and axles should increase significantly. There is no convenient water transportation in the Central Plains, Shandong, and Shanxi valleys, but the original transportation conditions are not bad.
.If there is a choice, there should be no problem in choosing newer wheels and axles with higher efficiency. These vehicles currently used in Beijing and other places have obvious advantages in improving traffic efficiency. They are not only used in urban transportation, but also in rural areas.
Also began to replace cars on a large scale.
Building materials are mainly cement and red bricks. After the world returns to normal, people should have a demand for the stability of their houses out of fear of the war they have just experienced. Although these building materials are still high-priced commodities, some wealthy people will still
Use. As the social economy slowly improves, the demand of ordinary people will also increase. The improvement of production efficiency will correspondingly reduce the price of building materials. In the next three to fifty years, the demand for this business will be strong!
Anyway, the road has been pointed out to them. Whether the factory area can be built well depends on whether the government here in Baoding can give it a try. Now it is not like in previous years, when building an industrial area, only success is allowed and failure is not allowed.
, even if it is unsuccessful, it will not affect the overall situation. At worst, it can be done in another place! The only thing that will affect is the future of the officials in charge of the establishment of the factory area, including Wu Zong. If the Baoding factory area does not do a good job this time, Zhu
You Jian will definitely not use them for serious work again.
After leaving the palace, Wu Di did not stay in the capital anymore, or even returned home, so he rushed to Baoding. After entering the capital, his gains were not small, and the burden he took on was not light. Baoding was about to implement the policy of opening a factory area.
, but this time except for a loan of two million silver dollars, other support was quite limited, and he had no idea whether he could accomplish this.
It stands to reason that in terms of financial support, the factory service area in Baoding is the richest. When the factory service area was established in Miyun, it only had a start-up capital of several hundred thousand silver, and the start-up capital in Tangshan was also not much!
But Wu Di still feels that the policies provided by the Baoding Factory District are not very good. The other two factory districts have uterine support, so people have confidence. The factory district to be opened in Baoding does not have any backers and can only rely on itself.
, is this possible?
Wu Zong, who was confused, rushed to Baoding in a hurry and told the officials of Baoding about the matter. Like him, these people were in a state of confusion and had no confidence at all. If they didn't say anything else, they just wanted to find someone.
It is quite a headache for a large businessman to be able to undertake the construction of a steel plant. Even though the funds for building the steel plant were loaned by the Royal Bank, the debts have to be borne by the shareholders themselves. Does anyone dare to risk hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt?
