After Gao Fu was transferred, Gao Guoyan could no longer stay in Sanshenyuan. It was best to transfer him back to the capital to manage various financial matters of the three major factories in Kaiping, Qianxi, Sanshenyuan, Bailixia and other parts of the capital.
As a result, Sanshenyuan can only promote Shen Li'an, the former administrator of Shensiyuan, to take charge of the soap factory. Although the Jingxi Coal Mine is much smaller than the Kaiping Coal Mine, it is responsible for providing the briquettes needed by the Jingshi and is also very profitable. The property can be handed over to Peng Shaocong, the former steward of Shenxingyuan.
Peng Shaocong used to be mainly responsible for the Sanshenyuan militia, but now that Gao Pragmatic has gathered "military power", Gao Mo and Gao Jue are the chief and deputy commanders of the Jiading Guards, Peng Shaocong can be completely liberated.
Gao Yi and Gao Jiong are currently in charge of weapons research, but after the private military industry is completed, they will definitely not be able to just engage in research, but must also engage in production, so they will also consider moving to Kaiping and relying on Jinghua Iron and Steel. Start a weapons factory.
Gao Yi can still continue to be in charge of R&D, but Gao Jiong must switch to production, otherwise it will be impossible if no one is responsible for the production.
With such a hasty calculation, the talent list at hand is suddenly full. If he then enters other industries or opens up business elsewhere, he will fall into the dilemma of having no one available, which will be embarrassing.
But the Gao family can't find suitable talents to supplement them for a while - if it is ten years later, it will be easier, because there are several of his pragmatic brothers alone. Historically, the reading level of these boys is also In general, they are all students. The only difference is that some are tribute students, some are linshan students, and some are ordinary students. Anyway, they are not even mixed into one. They can all be arranged to be responsible for a part of their own industry.
The problem is that right now, there is no time to pick up the slack.
Several of his uncles, Gao Jie, Gao Duo and Gao Cai, all had only one son. The third uncle, Gao Gong, had no children at all.
Counting on the fingers: Gao Wuzi, the son of the uncle Gao Jie, is a dandy, unable to hold himself up, so let’s not talk about it; the second uncle’s only son, Gao Guoyan, is already working under him and is equivalent to the financial director of all the industries in the capital; Wu Bo Gaocai's only son, Gao Wuben, is about to enter the imperial court in Beijing, and there is no way he will come to mess with him. After these three, he is Gao Wuben...
No, I’m missing someone, my uncle’s adopted son Gao Mengnan!
Judging from Gao Mengnan's behavior when he had a conflict with Gao Wuzi that day, he was actually dissatisfied with Gao Wuzi, but because of his status, he had to defend Gao Wuzi. But overall, his attitude towards him was pretty good, and he came back on his own During this period, I learned from my mother and younger brothers and sisters that this person was relatively stable.
In addition, before his uncle became an official, Gao Mengnan obtained the status of a supervisor in Nanjing. The status of a supervisor is roughly equivalent to that of a student. Of course, since the Imperial College in the north and the south have varying degrees of corruption, everyone knows the level of the supervisor. Moisture, but Gao pragmatically feels that no matter how much moisture there is, logically speaking, cultural literacy should be passable.
After all, he is just looking for people to manage his own industry, and he is not asking them to take the imperial examination. Whether the eight-part essay is good or not has nothing to do with whether they can manage the industry.
Then, Gao Mengnan can still consider using it - of course, the premise is that he is willing to come.
Gao Pragmatic was slightly short-sighted in his previous life. In this life, he paid great attention to protecting his eyesight. He usually did not read after dark, so he found a night to meet Gao Mengnan.
Gao Mengnan was quite surprised by Gao Pragmatic's visit, and had always been somewhat suspicious of Gao Pragmatic's intention. However, Gao Pragmatic's attitude towards him was very friendly, and he did not dwell on the unpleasantness of that day, but took the initiative to avoid talking about Gao Wuzi.
Gao Pragmatic's conversational skills were pretty good. The topic quickly moved to his uncle Gao Jie, and then he naturally talked about the old events when Gao Jie was in Nanjing. Through those old events, Gao Mengnan was excited to talk.
After talking for more than an hour, Gao Pragmatic had a general understanding of Gao Mengnan.
Of course, a short conversation cannot give a deep understanding of a person's talents, but Gao Pragmatic found out from the conversation that Gao Mengnan is indeed a cautious person. He neither exaggerates nor is timid when speaking. He is just truthful about some of his past experiences.
statements, rarely even adding their own opinions.
In addition, he is not very taboo about mentioning his biological father. His biological father is from Dinghai County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. He was born in the Dinghai Guards family. He originally served in the Zhejiang Navy, but was later transferred around to suppress Japanese pirates.
, and finally ended up under the command of Gao Jie, the admiral Cao Jiang, until he died in battle.
According to Gao Mengnan, when he was a child, he also stayed on the ship with his biological father for two or three years - military households are all hereditary, and the naval division is different from the land division. If a person has never been to the sea, he will definitely not be able to directly
To become a member of the Navy, many children from Navy households were taken on board ships from an early age to become familiar with ships and understand hydrology.
For Gao Pragmatic, this was an unexpected surprise.
In his long-term plan, he will definitely push Ming Dynasty to "move towards the blue ocean" in the future, but his own understanding of the ocean is all based on books and the Internet, which is the kind of level where he has knowledge reserves but no practical experience.
In this life, he has never been able to touch the ocean. He was born in an inland province like Henan, and no one around him has even seen the sea, so he has been worried that when he goes to the ocean in the future, he will not have anyone available to him.
Need to be recruited on a temporary basis.
Things are different now. There is no living person in Gao Mengnan's family, and he is the adopted son of his uncle. He even changed his surname. Since he knows something about the ocean, no matter how deep his understanding is, he is at least a useful person.
.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic has no ability to go directly to the blue ocean at the moment. Let alone the blue ocean, the yellow ocean is difficult. However, this does not hinder the implementation of his consistent strategy - to lay the groundwork first.
Originally, he planned to ask Gao Mengnan to be a deputy to Cao Gan first, so as to prevent Cao Gan from being responsible for too many businesses after the tribute was completed, resulting in excessive concentration of power. But now that this happened, Gao Pragmatic immediately changed the plan and
Another plan that had been prepared for a long time but was not planned to be implemented so quickly was brought out and Gao Mengnan was asked to start slowly.
The plan is to buy land in Tianjin to build a port. Not only Tianjin, but also Laoting County south of Kaiping will build a port to serve as a future shipping base for Jinghua Steel products.
Needless to say, the value of Tianjin Port. He had already suggested to Gao Gong that water transport should be replaced by sea transport. Although Gao Gong said that it could not be implemented for the time being due to the political stability, Gao was pragmatic and was not in a hurry - water transport was not possible, and private freight transport could not be managed by the imperial court.
Bar?
The Yellow River burst its banks one after another and flooded several counties. It was a scam for goods south of the Yangtze River to take the canal. Gao Pragmatic had long wanted to switch to the sea route!
Now that I finally have someone to use, how can I waste it?
