Chapter 30 The New Vision of Industry
"First of all, the steelmaking industry must make great strides, adopt new steelmaking technology to produce new materials, and drive innovation in machinery manufacturing and other industries."
"A comprehensive electronic factory that provides electronic equipment such as electronic equipment for industrial production will also be put into production in the future. After a few years, we have factories that produce electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, circuit boards, and industrial instruments. We can provide a large number of electronic equipment and equipment for industrial enterprises such as steelmaking plants and ship manufacturing and other mechanical equipment manufacturing factories. Industrial production will usher in new great development."
Li Tiancheng then discussed in detail the issues with the two about the development of industrial and agricultural production technology.
Although the knowledge of super education chips is extensive and detailed, it also relies on scientists to collect it. Some aspects of knowledge are restricted by confidentiality and cannot obtain key technologies. This is normal. Therefore, many industries still need talents to develop advanced technologies. In terms of already advanced aspects, they need to be more advanced.
For example, the issue of cigarette formulas, some formulas involve the interests of local enterprises, so they do not provide complete information because of confidentiality. Therefore, if they want to build cigarette factories in the future, it is impossible to produce cigarettes from later generations. In addition, especially those advanced technologies that foreigners keep secrets from the outside world cannot be introduced in detail, so they can only rely on their own development.
Therefore, as of 2011, the vast majority of all fields of technology and knowledge materials that China has known, of course, are still part of the unknown.
Industrial production requires a large amount of mineral resources. At present, the world's mining industry's output has not been discovered. Industrial production is still very backward and the total amount of ore required is not high.
Now the mining industry is developing under the leadership of Li Tiancheng. Several geological mining professionals trained by Zhenhua Technical School have graduated early. Since Li Tiancheng knew the address of the domestic mining in later generations very well, after sending technicians to explore on-site, he initially joined forces with local officials of the Qing government to form dozens of mining enterprises, but almost all of them were controlled by the Qing government. Li Tiancheng only provided them with exploration and production technology and sent technicians to guide production, but the price sold to him by the Qing government could be more favorable.
Subsequently, domestic enterprises' coal, copper, aluminum and other mineral resources were continuously transported to Zhenhua Group's factories, machinery, electronics, chemicals and other industries, the mineral resources needed for the industries such as machinery, electronics, and chemicals were basically complete. In the future, Li Tiancheng planned to exploit foreign mineral resources, but at present, due to factors such as colonial policies and various countries, he could only buy them back through procurement.
Li Tiancheng sent technical experts to Australia abroad to help them explore mineral resources. At first, foreigners did not believe that the Chinese who were still very backward two years ago could find minerals. However, after Zhenhua's technical expert group found iron mines in Australia, Zhenhua's expert group became the target of recruitment by countries around the world. For a time, a new wave appeared in the world's mining industry, and gradually various mineral resources began to increase their output.
Of course, Li Tiancheng did not find all the mines and oil storage areas, but only found a small part according to the needs of industrial production, because he still had to leave a part for future large-scale production, and it was possible that he would gain the right to mine himself, so that the things in his own hands would be safer.
With the increase of power plants, Zhenhua Group's industrial electricity consumption has been guaranteed, and all kinds of industries are quietly developing. Huayang Town, south of Songjiang County, has developed into a large-scale industrial zone, covering an area of about 20 square kilometers. The roads in the industrial zone are flat, connected in all directions, and there are many factories. A total of more than 300 factories of varying sizes have been born here. The production of cement in the Zhenhua Cement Plant in the industrial zone has played a huge role in road paving.
In addition, Li Tiancheng also built a new industrial zone in the southeast of Shanghai County near the Huangpu River, covering an area of ten square kilometers. Some of the land was originally merged by Zhu Wenshan from others. Part of the land used for industrial development was leased from other tyrants. New sole proprietorship and joint venture factories were launched one after another, and the scale needs to be continued to be expanded in the future. The location of this industrial zone is roughly one generation in the southeast of Luwan District, Shanghai, and it is still a little far from the prosperous city.
What Li Tiancheng lacks now is not technology, but time and money. Since industrial production requires a certain cycle and capital recovery also requires a certain cycle. Although their factories are increasing, they are currently mainly concentrated in Songjiang and surrounding areas. Of course, they include a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and small workshops with an annual output value of no more than 100,000 taels of silver. The number of large enterprises with an annual output value of more than 10 million taels of silver is still only one of Zhenhua Group.
With more factories, talents have become a big problem. Currently, there are only two or three hundred technicians available to the factory in a year. Each factory needs no small number of technicians. Even for small workshops with low production capacity, they need at least one or two technicians to guide the production.
Therefore, the factory's technicians have adopted the method of introducing and recruiting from abroad. Since the number of domestic factories is very small, the number of workers and engineers who understand technology is much smaller than that of Japan, Europe and the United States and other powerful countries. The domestic education is also very backward. They have been to high school and have very few young students who understand natural sciences. Most Chinese people are illiterate. Those who can recognize a few big words and can settle accounts are already considered educated people.
Therefore, the current enrollment scale of Zhenhua Technical School has encountered a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to expand it. In the future, we have to consider expanding the scale of basic education. Basic education is another long-term process. If the free education system can be implemented, the proportion of suitable adolescents and children in China to go to school is naturally high. However, the large amount of funds required for free education cannot be afforded by Li Tiancheng. Moreover, there are many difficulties such as policies to establish new schools. At least our super education system cannot be promoted on a large scale. It is temporarily still my own private property. At present, we can only rely on a school in Zhenhua to expand the scale of teaching. The construction of primary and secondary schools and universities across the country is still far away.
In addition, the Qing government's support for private enterprises is far less than that of Japan and other countries. The Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of suppressing private enterprises to a certain extent. Most enterprises implemented official and joint operation by the government and the government has increased the state's control over enterprises, while Japan has vigorously promoted the development of private enterprises without any obstacles.
This made Li Tiancheng encounter policy resistance when setting up a new factory. The Qing government now believed that the enterprises under his name were too large and gradually adopted a suppressive attitude towards him. However, most of the enterprises established by Li Tiancheng now were jointly organized with government funds, or with local tyrants, gentry, and merchants. Many enterprises were placed on the official or other names, and they only provided production technology to obtain certain shares and profits. However, even so, their financial resources grew stronger and stronger, which has attracted the high attention of local governments.
At present, Li Tiancheng can only rely on the relationship between the Zhu family and spend more money to clear the relationship, vigorously support the development of official enterprises, donate generously, and invest funds in the government's responsibility for local water conservancy, roads and other facilities construction, so as to obtain the official relaxation of its suppression. These measures have also achieved certain results. Driven by a large amount of interests, at least after the local government gets benefits, there will be someone in the court to protect themselves and say good things. If they could have been careless, the Qing government will open the door and relax the control of Li Tiancheng's expansion of the scale of the enterprise.
According to Li Tiancheng's plan, to develop various undertakings such as industry, commerce and education without scrupulously, you must obtain local rule. Now, a few years have left before the Xinhai Revolution, and I dare not rely on relatively weak force to seize the power of a local government. That would inevitably be like the revolutionaries frequently launched uprisings of different scales in various places, and were strangled by the Qing government invisibly. I still need to endure it for a while.
Although Li Tiancheng has been suppressed to a certain extent now, more and more people in the local area need to rely on him to make a fortune. These people all need the technicians and technical drawings in Li Tiancheng's hands. Naturally, they don't want him to be too restricted. They will take the initiative to unite, stand on Li Tiancheng's side, mediate with local governments, and prompt them to make certain concessions in policies. There are many people and the power is great, and the effect is relatively obvious.
Not long ago, Li Tiancheng was elected by many merchants as the chairman of the Songjiang Huayang Industrial Zone Industrial Association for major contributions to the development of the industrial zone, and was responsible for mutual communication and liaison between enterprises in the industrial zone. This also facilitated his control of the industrial zone and facilitated the future development of Zhenhua.
At present, a number of new technology products are emerging one after another, mainly new industrial machine tools, mining equipment, smelting equipment, etc. in the mechanical field, which are closely related to his further development of military industry. Other industries have just started soon, and these are far from enough. His next goal will be to build industrial parks in Jiaxing, Huzhou, Suzhou and other places.
Time flies, and Li Tiancheng has been in this world for three years, and it has reached 1909.
"It's been three years since I came to this century." Li Tiancheng was lying alone on the lounge chair in the company to review what he had done in the past two years.
"Chairman Li, the first batch of Australian iron ore arrived at the new workshop of Zhenhua Steelmaking Group Corporation, preparing to start production. Sun Daming, Chairman of Zhenhua Steel Company and Jia Ping, General Manager, asked the chairman to go over and preside over the ribbon cutting and groundbreaking ceremony." Li Tiancheng was siping fragrant tea with nourishing spirit, thinking about his future plans, and secretary Xiao Wang suddenly came in to report.
