    Zhang Hanqing rested comfortably for a while.  This is a transparent hall facing the east. It is a unique experience to moisten your throat with fragrant tea while the breeze blows on your face and watch the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the river.

    After some meditation, Sheng Enyi finally came to the conclusion: "This is a serious matter and I need to make a decision after discussing it with the board of directors."

    The problem that Sheng Enyi is worried about does exist: According to the resolution of the first shareholders meeting of the company in the first year of Xuantong, the company started to build the Daye Iron Works and expand the company's production scale.  In order to raise funds for infrastructure construction, on December 2 of the same year, Sheng Xuanhuai signed five contracts with Japan Steel Works and Yokohama Shokin Bank.

    He pledged all the property of Hanyeping Company and borrowed 15 million yen, of which 9 million yen was used to build the Daye Iron Works, and 6 million yen was used to repay old Japanese debts; it was stipulated that 15 million tons of first-class minerals and 800 million tons of pig iron should be used  Ten thousand tons will be supplied to Japan as repayment for a period of 40 years; Japanese will be hired as the top engineering consultant and top accounting consultant.

    These contracts enabled Japan Steel to completely control the management rights of Han Yeping Company, causing Han Yeping Company to gradually decline.

    Han Yeping is a large joint-stock enterprise. The largest shareholder of Hankou Iron Works is Japanese and not the Sheng family. Although he is the chairman of Han Yeping, this is reasonable.

    It¡¯s just that you can¡¯t decide what to do with so much time!

    Zhang Hanqing spoke: "General Manager Sheng, if you are in trouble, you can think about it differently: Japan's domestic economy is currently in recession, and the probability that they will import a large amount of steel from Wuhan is extremely small, so the finished products produced by Hanyang Iron Works can be given priority to us.

    We can jointly build a new furnace. You provide the technical personnel and we purchase the equipment and start it as soon as possible to make up for the shortage before the demand is tight. Is this always feasible?

    As for Pingxiang Coal Mine, Governor Xia can also help you solve the problem of private mining first. We can also take a step back on the joint venture, but the first right to purchase its coke should be given to us.  Our purpose in doing this is to build the iron plant as soon as possible and have stable output. Several major arteries require a large amount of steel.  "

    According to the information Sheng Enyi has, what the young marshal said is true.  In the past two years, Japan has encountered the biggest recession since World War I. Not only has domestic demand fallen, many small and medium-sized banks have gone bankrupt, and industrial enterprises have gone bankrupt. It has been several months since the Japanese asked for steel.

    It would be much better if the Japanese were not in a hurry to get iron billets.  If there is no need to occupy the finished products of the Hankou Iron Works, there will be an explanation to the Japanese side.  As for technicians, this can be discussed.  As for coke, there was no agreement initially to give priority to supplying the Japanese. As long as the price is right, it will be sold to anyone!

    But after all, we are a business family, and it is still necessary to abide by the contract. Sheng Enyi nodded and said: "According to the market, the coke output can be given priority to sell the new iron plant, but we need cash!"

    The reason why Han Yeping was controlled by the Japanese was because of financial difficulties.  Two generations of Sheng family heads since Sheng Xuanhuai have suffered this loss, so they emphasize the use of cash.

    Zhang Hanqing has a lot of money. He also saved 300 tons of gold in Lanzhou. Except for a very small part, which is used for education and building railways and highways, there is still a lot left. It's just that the northwest is remote, and the gold can't be used out.

    He nodded: "Of course this is a cash transaction, the money and goods will be cleared."

    Sheng Enyi breathed a long sigh of relief: Fortunately, we are not here to beat the autumn wind.

    Solving the coal problem, or looking at the iron plant from the perspective of solving the coal problem, is not a problem at all: "The cost of hiring people at the Hanyang Iron Plant will be borne by the new iron plant, and Hanyang Iron Plant will also account for a certain proportion.  of shares.¡±

    Zhang Hanqing agreed: "This can be discussed, and we will leave it to Governor Xia. However, the purchase of equipment requires Mr. Sheng's reputation." After all, they are a century-old family. At their special events, you must respect the connections of the Sheng family, right?

    Sheng Enyi explained: "Before the new iron plant is put into operation, if the Japanese need steel, it must still be given priority."

    Zhang Hanqing nodded.  As long as the new iron plant can pump out production as scheduled, he doesn't care if the Hanyang Iron Plant continues to sell iron to the Japanese. There are already enough of this kind of thing in the Northeast.  Since we can't drive them away, let's each develop according to our own abilities. There will always be a critical point when the rising star surpasses himself. Now is the time to develop in a low-key manner.

    Thinking that he had not only stabilized the young marshal of the Feng clan, but also allowed himself to have contacts on the future board of directors, Sheng Enyi seemed very happy. He said to Zhang Hanqing and his party: "It is rare for the young marshal and governor Xia to come to this place in person, and there is no reward for the crude tea."  , please condescend to have a light meal later, I will set up a banquet at Deming Hotel, and treat you all very respectfully! Please be sure to show your respect!"

    Although Zhang Hanqing had never heard of Deming Hotel, but thinking of the dandy Sheng Enyi¡¯s style, he must be a good restaurant.bsp; Perhaps with the beauty by his side, Zhang Hanqing resumed his noble feelings of serving the country and the people.  He told the Sheng brothers and sisters about the attempts to build a bridge in Wuhan to connect Beijing and Guangdong since the Republic of China, and said that with the coalition of provincial governments led by the People's Party, it is very possible to build a bridge in Wuhan.

    Sheng Aiyi rarely "participated" in this big discussion that benefits the country and the people. She doubted whether Zhang Hanqing and the others could build it: "Young Marshal, as far as I know, the government hired British bridge expert John Wardle to design Wuhan last year.  The budgeted cost of the Yangtze River Bridge is 9.7 million yuan. Because this huge cost was ultimately ignored, can you guarantee to raise so much funds?"

    After Sheng Xuanhuai's death, Li Jingfang, the supervisor of the execution of Sheng's will and Li Hongzhang's eldest son, after two and a half years of sorting it out, concluded that the total amount was 13.48 million yuan in silver dollars. This amount of money has allowed the Sheng family to dominate Shanghai.  Can the young marshal raise so much money?  We also need to consider that he wants to build another iron factory, arsenal, and shipyardDoes he have so much money?

    Sheng Enyi is also waiting for Zhang Hanqing¡¯s reply.

    He didn't dare to say this, but Sheng Aiyi could say that at most it was just a woman's whim, and it would not affect the young marshal's mood. To be honest, he also had the attitude of "not resisting, not taking the initiative" in response to the young marshal's various actions.  " mentality: If you have money, I will help. If you don't have money, it's not that I won't help, it's that you can't help yourself!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
