In March at the beginning of this year, Daimler Suye Shipbuilding Company completed its fourth round of financing, officially established a large-scale manufacturing shipyard, and undertook the first order from a trading company in Shanghai, ordering a thousand-year ship.
A 500-ton offshore cargo ship. It is expected that this cargo ship will be ready for delivery at the end of this year or early next year.
Yuan Su has high hopes for this order. After all, it is the shipbuilding company's first order, and it is a ship with a tonnage of 1,500. As long as the order can be delivered smoothly, it will prove the shipbuilding company's manufacturing capabilities and allow Chinese workers to
Learn more shipbuilding technology. This is the first step towards the threshold of heavy industry manufacturing. You can build ships of 1,500 tons, and soon you can build ships of 2,000 tons, 3,000 tons or even larger, and you can build cargo ships.
Warships will also be built soon.
The laboratory set up by Dailem Company in Nandaihe is still working on a new generation of engines. The funds for the laboratory are shared by China and Germany, so once a new technology is born, China will also share in it. Of course, Germany
People will never take advantage of China. Even if China invests a lot of research funds in the early stage, it still has to accept extremely harsh and unfair terms in the contract. There is no way. If not, Daimler
The company will not come all the way to China to set up a research laboratory and share its scientific and technological results with China.
For Yuan Su, the greatest value of Daimler Suye Shipbuilding Company currently is to establish the industrial base of Nandaihe Seaport. In other words, he hopes to use the scale of the shipbuilding company to expand more peripheral industries. As for
The technology for manufacturing medium and large ships, as well as the new engines developed in laboratories, will take years to reap benefits.
Last year, Shanghai Suren Trading Company was established with Lin Boxen, and not long ago they jointly established Northern Suren Trading Company.
The Shanghai Company naturally relied on Shanghai International Port, and the Northern Company was established on the Nandaihe side. After visiting Daimler Suye Shipbuilding Company, Yuan Sushun came to the Northern Trading Company and met with the company's senior managers. He
The trading company is required to not only import the ordnance parts that have been ordered before, but also start preparing for large-volume export trade.
In fact, even without Yuan Su's suggestion, the international trade analyst hired by the trading company has already pointed out the opportunity to expand the European market. Since the outbreak of war is inevitable, due to the duel between the two camps, it is naturally impossible for the trading company to undertake
arms trade, but can undertake orders for some Japanese supplies.
After some preliminary market surveys, as well as contacts and negotiations with trading companies in various European countries, the Northern Trading Company decided to immediately start stocking up on some instant foods, military fabrics and various cowhide and pigskin.
Naturally, fast food is mainly canned food. Yuan Su came up with a lot of ideas in this regard. He asked trading companies to go to Mongolia to purchase cattle and sheep to make canned meat. These cattle and sheep should be used as fully as possible to ensure high quality.
High-quality cans use pure meat, ordinary cans use meat and offal mixed, and inferior cans are made directly from offal.
Anyway, these cans are for export, not to mention that no one can tell what is inside after they are made.
These cans must eventually be distributed to the front lines for soldiers to eat. It is good to have something to eat on the battlefield. Do you still expect to eat fried steak with a glass of red wine or coffee for every meal?
In addition to cans, Yuan Su also provided some other new ideas, such as grinding coffee beans into powder so that the front line can cook them directly. Of course, the shelf life of the coffee beans after grinding is a problem, or some preservatives must be added to it.
agent, or to accept quick orders. Anyway, there was no food hygiene system in this era. Another example is the cheaper protein meat, which tastes very similar to real meat, but is actually made of dough.
Military fabrics, cowhide, and pigskin are all commodities that can be stored for a long time. The key is the quantity of supply. In other words, for orders that are accepted now, the required quantity of the order needs to be purchased immediately. And even if the order is not accepted,
, we should also start preparations in advance based on an advance budget for the market.
For many people who do not understand the market, the war is about to begin, and it is too late to start preparing these export supplies at this stage. However, for those who really understand the market, it is most correct to prepare supplies at this time.
time. The preparation of supplies a few years ago was a matter for the Allied Powers, the Central Powers and other Western countries not participating in the war. The arms race in these years has made many countries fully prepared.
When the war officially starts, consumption begins to gradually increase, and the materials prepared by these countries in advance cannot keep up with the consumption rate. At that time, they will begin to seek overseas trade orders.
What the Northern Trading Company pursues is not the market in the pre-war preparation stage, but the market in which they panicked to make up for excessive consumption during the war.
Not only was the Northern Trading Company making preparations, Yuan Su also sent a special message to Shanghai, asking the Shanghai Trading Company to also start handling this matter. The two major Suren companies in the north and the south were actually one family, and they were nothing more than responsible for two markets.
That’s it. The market opened up after the outbreak of the European War is far from a market that the two Suren companies can handle. If you can get an extra piece of the pie, you can get an extra piece of the pie. Anyway, if both companies can make money, Yuan Su can get two shares of the profit.
, why not?
The Northern Trading Company and the Shanghai Trading Company began to reserve export materials, which brought a new round of development space to many national industries in the north and the south. Both companies were large trading companies supported by huge political forces and plutocratic forces, and
After forecasting, the amount of export materials that need to be reserved is another extremely huge number.
This round of acquisitions has greatly stimulated the prosperity of small downstream dependent industries. Animal husbandry, textile industry, metallurgy industry, by-product processing industry, and even the retail industry in some markets have been all the way since this summer.
Climbing. As these industries are fully developed, the industry has also brought about improvements in people's livelihood.
It was precisely because of this drive by the two major trading companies in the north and south that modern Chinese capitalism ushered in a golden age.
For other companies that are also engaged in import and export trade, Northern Trading Company and Shanghai Trading Company do not actually dominate the industry in terms of scale, but every trade strategy of the two companies can actually become a weathervane and guide national capitalism.
A timely turn in the market.
I'm afraid that in the history of capitalist development, this is an unprecedented phenomenon, and it is also the only period in which the trading industry controls the capitalist market. After the end of this period, in the next hundred years or so, there will be more
In order to be flexible and flexible, the capital is larger and the financial industry has more direct access to control the capital market.
