After turning his eyes on the map, Yan Guang refocused his eyes on Sichuan.

"Sichuan does not seem to have only one iron ore." As he said that, Yan Guang moved his finger to a little below Chongqing, Sichuan.

"Qijiang..."

Yan Guang remembers that Qijiang's iron ore has about 100 million tons and coal mines have more than 2 billion tons. Although the reserves of more than 100 million tons of iron ore are not as often as other iron ore areas, it is enough to be used as the initial base.

The most important thing is…

Qijiang is very close to Chongqing, and the distance between Chongqing and Chengdu is not very far. If you invest money to develop with all your strength, it will not be very difficult to build a steel plant with an annual output similar to Hanyang in the short term. As long as Panzhihua invests its strength, it will be OK to solve the smelting problem of high-titanium vanadium titanium magnetite within ten years. After all, it was 1965 when Panzhihua Special Zone was established...

"So? I decided it was Sichuan?" I checked around the map and confirmed that there was no province that was more suitable than Sichuan. Later, I carefully recalled the Sichuan Revolution of my memory.

There is no need to mention the road protection movement. Sichuan's new army seems to be the seventeenth town, but this town was barely formed until the 1911 period due to financial problems, and there was a lack of light and heavy weapons...

Moreover, since the governor of Sichuan does not trust the new army in the 17th Town, the main force guarding Chengdu is the patrol battalion...

"Hey? Wouldn't that be easy to deal with?" Yan Guang smiled as he touched his chin.

――――――――――――

In the next few days, Yan Guang was recuperating and walking around, preparing to experience Shanghai in the early 20th century. But for some reason, Yan Guang walked onto a street where many technical workers with both virtue and art lived.

but…

"Strange, there is no greenhouse effect yet, why does it feel so hot? The weather is so hot, forget it, let's go back to the hotel." After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead due to guilt, Yan Guang was unable to step in and greet the technical workers with both virtue and skills...

After having a meal outside, Yan Guang walked around other places in Shanghai and returned to the hotel.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, there were three most profitable transactions, one was opium. Yan Guang could not do it, and he could not do it even if he was beaten to death. The other was arms. Yan Guang had no capital and could not do it even if he wanted to do it. In the end, it was textile.

Textiles are not only very profitable, but also easy to develop. Yan Guang has no foundation in China, so the first step is to open a textile factory in China.

However, after all, the textile factory cannot be transformed into a textile factory in a short time. If I set off for Sichuan now, it would be great to build the textile factory at the end of the year. So Yan Guang planned to ask about the price of the machine and how long it would take to arrive in Shanghai if I ordered. After all, the distance between Sichuan and Chengdu is not close, so it would be too troublesome to run around between the two places.

The next morning, after eating breakfast, Yan Guang ran to an American foreign company.

After arriving at the foreign company, the staff of the foreign company heard that Yan Guang was here to buy textile machines, and immediately ran to call the senior team.

At first, the senior class heard that Yan Guang was going to buy a textile machine and his face was full of enthusiasm, but when he learned that Yan Guang was just going to buy a machine worth 100,000 silver dollars, and he had just had this intention, the expression on his face immediately became cold.

"The amount of 100,000 yuan is not very large. Our foreign company also has some inventory in the warehouse, so if you want to buy it, you can come at any time." The expression was much colder than when you first met Yan Guang.

Then Yan Guang said that he wanted to see the style of the machine, so the senior team asked the staff to accompany Yan Guang to take a look.

"This is a ginning machine, this is a spinning machine, and this is a loom machine. All of these machines are the latest in the current style. The work efficiency is much higher than that of old machines, and there are fewer operators, which can increase your profits and reduce costs as much as possible." Although it is known that Yan Guang only asked about the price first, the foreign company employee was still explaining it very hard.

"Then if I buy machines from you, will you be responsible for transporting them?" This is a question that Yan Guang is more concerned about. Shanghai is thousands of miles away from Chengdu, and now it is the end of the Qing Dynasty and it is very chaotic everywhere. What if the machine he bought himself encounters on the way back...

The employee who was introducing there was stunned for a moment, but he replied quickly. "In principle, we will not be responsible for transportation, but we can help you introduce the company responsible for transportation. Please rest assured that this company has been working with our foreign company for many years and has a guaranteed reputation, and our foreign company will also come forward to provide guarantees." The meaning is that even if something happens, they will also compensate.

Although it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not yet time for the sky to collapse, so foreign companies would still provide guarantees. If it were in the Republic of China, it would be really robbers everywhere...

"Of course, it's best not to be too far away from where you want to deliver..."

"That's good..." Yan Guang nodded. "Sichuan is not far away, right?"

Sichuan or Chengdu? The staff wiped their cold sweat. "It's not close..."

The distance from Shanghai to Chengdu exceeds 1,500 kilometers, which is 3,000 miles, and the road to Shu is difficult...

Yan Guang nodded understandingly. He remembered that he had taken a long-distance bus a few months before coming to this world. He took a journey of more than 380 kilometers for six hours. Yan Guang was not as good as death as he was tortured, so he ran on the highway. Now China's infrastructure, coupled with Shu Road...

Fortunately, there is also a great mother river in China called the Yangtze River, so goods can be transported from Shanghai to Wuhan, transferred from Wuhan to Chongqing, and finally arrived from Chongqing to Chengdu. Although the journey is also very long, it is at least much faster than taking land.

Since he already knew that foreign companies would be available in stock at any time, Yan Guang did not intend to waste time and was preparing to go directly to Sichuan to build a factory. After packing up his things the next morning, Yan Guang booked a ticket to Wuhan, and then prepared to take a boat from Wuhan to Chongqing.

Although Yan Guang was almost vomiting when he was on a boat in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, he thought about the difficulty of walking from Shanghai to Sichuan...

"Forget it, grit your teeth, and you will arrive in a while..." Yan Guang walked up to the passenger ship more than 70 meters long, pressing down the feeling of vomiting.

When others saw Yan Guang's behavior, they thought he was seasick, but they didn't know that Yan Guang was just sitting on the boat until he wanted to vomit.

"No matter what, Sichuan, I'm here!"
