From Helan Mountain to Yinchuan, Lanzhou can be traced upstream. After the Yellow River has iced, it is quite convenient. After the railway is built later, it can completely solve the problem of energy demand. Jiang Li planned to take three steps to water, railway and highway. Extend the railway to the north as much as possible. First, to meet the needs of the subsequent anti-Japanese war, and second, once the conditions are ripe, Baotou iron ore can be developed as quickly as possible. Some iron ore in Gansu and Xinjiang can temporarily meet the existing equipment production capacity. Once production is expanded, you must find a way to iron ore.

"Of course, this is just the first step. In addition, I need to build a tractor factory and a transportation truck factory in Lanzhou, including the engine manufacturing. Of course, I need to buy two hundred Mark A Bulldog tractors first. The two factories are expected to invest about 8 million US dollars in the first phase. In addition, I need a batch of medical equipment worth 1.3 million US dollars, and I will write it to you later. Then I have to order some drilling, copper and aluminum non-ferrous metal smelting equipment from your country, and a set of 7,000-ton hydraulic forging machines. In addition, I am preparing a railway construction plan of more than 1,500 kilometers, and I need to order some railway tracks and locomotives. You know, there is nothing in the northwest and it is too backward. I need to change the status quo here."

Jiang Li said roughly that there is no need to build large-tonnage warships in the northwest at this time, and a 7,000-ton hydraulic press can solve all the equipment production problems that Jiang Li needs at the moment.

"Oh, Jiang, have you robbed God's vault? These things add up to a rough sum of at least about 40 to 50 million US dollars. Has a war of 100,000 people consumed your last money yet?"

Charlie exaggeratedly said that if he was the one who led the negotiation of such a big business, it would be a sensation in the American business world. After all, he is still at the forefront of the economic crisis in 1929. Bankruptcy and bankruptcy have become the most commonly used words in the United States nowadays. Even if the Soviet Union purchased a large amount of equipment, Western Europe still snatched food from the American manufacturing industry. If this business could be achieved, Charlie could even imagine how ugly the arrogant guys would flatter him with an ugly face.

"Not yet. The last war used Fengtian's reserves. The gold funds were not used. I planned to use more than 60 million US dollars in my hand, except for a part of the spare, to build the Northwest. Of course, if there are second-hand equipment or directly purchase the equipment of a bankrupt company, I would be even happier. If you can save funds in this regard, I will not be stingy with you, an old friend. You can help me put this news in the United States and publish it in the newspaper. Of course, the most important point is that the factories built must come with technical input and I will pay. The cooperative companies must send technicians to help me train employees so that the factories built in the Northwest can actually operate."

Jiang Li thought for a while and said. After a while, Jiang Li asked those international students to help set up special overseas offices to contact some local bankrupt companies and factories. This can save a lot of money, but at present, this money must be spent. Money cannot buy back time. Jiang Li must try his best to build the industrial shelf in the northwest as quickly as possible. As for the extra money spent, he can earn it back from the later. When the 9/18 Incident broke out, Jiang Li was competing for time with the Japanese. Now in the northwest, Jiang Li is still competing for time with the Japanese.

One day before the initial industrialization of the northwest was completed, thousands of soldiers would die in vain on the battlefield. Of course, this is not the most important thing. Once the full war of resistance broke out, the channel for purchasing machinery from the east of the northwest would be cut off by the Japanese. At that time, there would be no place to buy it. Although the Soviets could provide some help, they would always get more technology. There is another reason. Now it is the peak period of the outbreak of the economic crisis. Whether it is introducing talents or purchasing equipment, it is relatively easier and the price is also low. Now it is hard to bear the price. When the time passes, the money in hand will increase later, but it may not be possible to easily get things done through this good time. There are also reasonable people among foreigners. Now, the business relationship with them is also laying a good foundation for later cooperation. No one trusts each other from the beginning.

"Okay, I will definitely try my best to save you valuable funds for Jiang. So I'm going to go back to the United States again?" Charlie's eyes lit up, and then said with a bitter look on his face, "It's really a fatal matter. The transportation in the northwest of your country is too backward. Next time Jiang, you'd better send me a telegram. It's really a fatal life to run around."

"I haven't had such a big cooperation yet. Will you believe a telegram sent to you?" Jiang Li asked back.

"That's true. If you don't come here to meet in person, and see the fact that you took down the Northwest, it's really hard to believe that you have achieved such great military success in the Northwest. It seems that there is still a lot of room for cooperation in the future." Charlie said with great agreement.

"Of course it's big. In the latest two years, I will build one or two large hydropower stations in the Yellow River section on the west side of Lanzhou. The funds required are tens of millions of dollars. This is just an early investment." Jiang Li smiled indifferently and used all the remaining half of the US dollar to buy silver this year and next year, and then used the silver as collateral to borrow from foreign banks in the United States and then purchase them. This revolving mortgage loan is enough to make a big profit in the Silver Act. In addition, penicillin is also in hand, and there is another kind of medicine that can be made. However, if you really make a big profit, you have to set up a pharmaceutical company in the United States, otherwise you will not be able to sell it in the Northwest and cannot be converted into a large dollar.

"Well, Jiang, your ambition is amazing. If the rulers of your country have Jiang, you will probably not be humiliated by the Japanese like this. I also hate those arrogant and ignorant guys in Japan. One day they will be taught enough lessons." Charlie said disdainfully.

Jiang Li smiled when he heard this. Before the United States could teach the Japanese enough lessons, Japan first slapped the other party hard in the Pacific.
