Wu Zhili and other officials from the Northern Zhili and Baoding Prefecture tried to interview some big businessmen in the prefecture in order to open a steel plant in the factory area. As a result, these people pushed back and forth, and no one agreed.
Again, they are indeed not allowed to ask for money at the moment, but they have to bear the debt. Borrowing money from the court is not easy to default on. If the steel plant is not completed by then, what will happen if the family business is added to it?
The reason why they dare not accept this loan is, to put it bluntly, the bad influence left by the Ming Dynasty. Steel is definitely a profitable business, but doing it for the court may not be a profitable business. If it is the same as before, then the court will
What if Iron doesn’t give me money?
After nearly ten days of planning, there was still no businessman! The worried Wu Di had no choice but to take the rail car and run to the capital again. This idea came from the emperor, but now he can't push it forward, and he has to solve it.
"Is it really impossible to find a businessman in Baoding to take on this matter?" Zhu Youjian couldn't help but question when he saw Wu Zong's sad face! He couldn't even get a loan, and the businessmen in Baoding were too disappointed.
"It is true that there is no businessman to undertake this matter! Your Majesty, I think it is safest for the palace to open a steel factory in Baoding. Anyway, the money is actually provided by the palace, so why bother to cause such trouble?"
"That's it! Your Beizhi Governor's Office and Baoding Government Office will make a formal official document on the investment promotion policy for the factory area, including the steel plant, and post it in a notice! In addition, select capable officials to come with this official document.
Miyun, Tangshan, and the capital have announced daily allowances to attract business. If you can't recruit businessmen, I will find a way for you."
Baoding cannot attract businessmen. It should be because the place is full of old-style businessmen. They have no confidence in the court and government, do not know enough about large industry, and have fear in their hearts. This makes the business recruitment activities difficult. In this case, how can we
This opportunity is given to new business groups in Miyun, Tangshan, Beijing, Tianjin and other places.
"Your Majesty, since you want to recruit businessmen in Miyun and other places, why go to Baoding to post official documents?" Wu Di was heartbroken by the Baoding businessmen. He felt that since they didn't like to talk to them, why bother to cause such trouble again?
Posting an announcement has no meaning at all except to let those profiteers spread gossip.
"Everything must be done with words first, and trust is built on the ground! Regardless of whether they pay attention to it or not, the government must put things forward. Otherwise, if outside businessmen build up the Baoding factory area in the future, what should local businessmen do if they complain about the government? In order to deal with fairness,
The announcement must first be seen by local businessmen in Baoding. Whether they seize the opportunity or not is their own business, and they will not have the shame to blame the government!"
After receiving the instructions, Wu Di quickly returned to Baoding and continued to promote the matter. The development of the matter did not exceed his expectations. After the official announcement was posted, the situation remained the same as before. Wu Di, who did not receive a response, had to send someone to
Try again in Miyun and other places.

In the Miyun Factory District, Chunsheng Ordnance Factory, Wang Dachun was having a meeting with a few old guys to discuss the expansion of the factory. The war on the front lines was intense, and the arsenals in the rear were naturally getting rich! It turned out that they thought the factory district had given them
The factory building is a bit too big, but now I find that it is not enough. The problem is that if they want to expand the factory area, not to mention free land, even if they spend money to rent it, there is no good land to rent, unless they locate the new factory area in the factory area
Periphery.
"Director, there is no water outside the factory area and it is far from the iron factory. It is really not a good place for us to build a new factory."
"What should I do? Our old factory is too cramped right now. It's impossible to get on the gun barrel production line. We can't go to all the trouble of making gun barrels. In the end, we won't be able to make a few in a day, right? How can we make a living?
Money!" Wang Dachun's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and he really doesn't want to make a small fuss. In his plan, making gun barrels is just the beginning, and he might even make cannons in the future! The current factory area is really small.
There is no room for his ambition!
"Director, shopkeeper Luo has arrived at your office and said he has something important to discuss. Please come over quickly." The factory secretary hurried into the conference room and whispered to Wang Dachun about Luo Shihong's arrival.
Is there something important? Wang Dachun had to let other shareholders discuss the matter first and rush to the office to see Luo Shihong. He now has a very good relationship with Luo Shihong. Many business matters were given guidance by Luo Shihong, so he could handle them calmly.
When he arrived at the office, Luo Shihong, who was drinking tea, saw Wang Dachun come in and said quickly: "Brother Shi, I'm interrupting your meeting! If it weren't for something extremely important, I wouldn't let anyone interrupt your meeting."
"Brother Luo, it's something extremely important. Please tell me quickly."
"Early this morning, I was wandering around the bulletin wall in the factory area. I found an official from out of town posting a notice, so I quickly went over and took a look! It turned out that Baoding was opening a new factory area, and their company over there
People come to our place to post announcements to attract business. I didn’t dare to neglect after reading it, and came to find you quickly!” Luo Shihong is not just hanging around the factory area. He goes around the bulletin wall in the factory area every morning to learn about policies and information.
habit!
"A factory area is going to be opened in Baoding? It is too far away from Miyun. Besides, there is nothing in the newly opened factory area. If we locate the new factory there, I am afraid it will be very inconvenient. A few days ago, I went to Tangshan
I took a look at the situation in the factory area there. I always felt that it is not as good as our Miyun area, and the factory area in Baoding is probably even more unsatisfactory, right?" Wang Dachun thought Luo Shihong came over to tell him about opening the new factory area to Miyun. During this time, he was in
Luo Shihong knew where to find the new factory. He must have seen the news to remind him.
"Brother Shi, I'm not here to tell you about opening a new factory. Baoding's announcement said that they are planning to build a large-scale steel plant there. The funds for this steel plant will be loaned by the Royal Bank, but businessmen will be required to pledge investment in the joint venture to operate it.
Debt. As soon as I saw the news, I immediately thought of Brother Shi. Brother Shi, are you interested in taking your brothers to Baoding to buy some stocks in the steel plant?" Luo Shihong knew how profitable and promising the steel plant was, but he was alone.
He didn't dare to do this. First, because he didn't have much capital, and second, because he didn't know much about the steel industry and couldn't participate in the business. So he thought of Wang Dachun. Wang Dachun's industry had been dealing with steel plants and he had a lot of connections.
, he has all the technical aspects.
"Is this true? What are the specific regulations for preparing to build a steel plant in Baoding?" Wang Dachun became quite uneasy when he heard this.
"It must be true! I knew that Brother Shi would be interested. I have invited several gentlemen from Baoding to the factory, and they are drinking tea at my place right now. Brother Shi, let's go over and have a chat with them.
,How about it?"
"Okay, Brother Luo, you are really smart. Let's go over and talk to the gentleman from Baoding about this matter. Secretary Wu, hurry up and book a private room in Dingxiang Building. I will entertain the gentleman from Baoding at noon.
People, remember, the banquet must be of high quality."
