The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 74 Consolidation of Shares
As China Heavy Industry is on the right track, Zhang Dehui's role is getting smaller and smaller.

That's the good thing about business.

Why don't you want to cooperate with the government?Because it can be achieved that workers are workers and business is business, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

He, Zhu Gaochi, loves workers and abides by business rules for businessmen, but he doesn't need to take care of them like workers.

Profit maximization is the normal state of business.

Unless Zhang Dehui can bring him more benefits, why should Zhang Dehui earn such a lot of money?
In just half a year, Zhang Dehui made at least 1 taels of silver, not to mention that he took a huge advantage by relying on his own power.

In the competition of many coal bosses, he snatched up two mines that had been abandoned due to groundwater.

Zhang Dehui is an old man who does not understand human nature.

If the steam engine factory didn't earn so much money, he could still stay there, but it was too profitable. The unique business in the world was still necessary in the mining area.

He made preliminary calculations. With the expansion of the production capacity of the steam engine factory and the availability of personnel, it will continue to develop in the current situation.

In the second half of the year, he can earn tens of thousands of taels, or even 10 taels of silver, which is starting to become hot.

Because of his role in it, he has gradually been unable to help the eldest son, which means that the money is given to himself for nothing.

If he was an ordinary person, then Zhang Dehui would not back off, he would have already resorted to various means, even taking advantage of it.

But it is also because the people in front of him are extraordinary, they are the most powerful people in the world, a business that outsiders cannot learn.

After thinking about it, it is better to retreat.

Give up the shares in the steam engine factory, but keep the friendship in front of the nobles.

More and more people are buying honeycomb coal, which has exceeded four or five times that of previous years in just six months, and the momentum is still growing rapidly.

I have three mines, but my wealth has more than tripled. If I can maintain the relationship with the nobles, wouldn't I be able to sit back and relax.

The two have similar ideas, and the topic becomes relaxed and happy.

Before Zhu Gaochi could speak, Zhang Dehui took the initiative to give up his shares and leave the steam engine factory, which made Zhu Gaochi feel embarrassed.

"Although the shares have been cancelled, you are still the owner of China Heavy Industry." After thinking for a while, Zhu Gaochi gave a big reward.

Zhang Dehui was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Didn't he just want to maintain the relationship with the nobleman, keep the position of the owner of China Heavy Industry, and report this name outside in the future, who dares to neglect himself?

The name of the owner of China Heavy Industry is a hundred times stronger than that of the main coal yard.They never say that they are owners of coal mines outside, they only regard themselves as scholars.

"Students will never forget the love of noble people."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhu Gaochi smiled, and said seriously: "You and I will travel together, and we will come to Japan for a long time. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"As long as the nobles call, the students will go through fire and water and die." Zhang Dehui categorically promised.

What this person said may be cliché, or it may be a little sincere, but it is a good start after all, and the two get together and part ways.

Zhang Dehui left, but all the people he recruited and promoted were left behind.

that day.

Zhou Shifeng was appointed as the big treasurer of China Heavy Industry, not only the steam engine factory, but also responsible for building the management team of the coke refinery.

After the shares of China Heavy Industry were cleared, Zhu Gaochi immediately merged the engineering team and the coke refinery into China Heavy Industry.

He can ignore the business rules and merge together early in the morning, resulting in unclear shares, without worrying about Zhang Dehui.

But what's the difference between that and the nobles who took advantage of others, but ran counter to his path, getting together with Zhang Dehui, he thought he hadn't made any mistakes, and relied on his business skills to speak.

The research and development team of the steam engine was brought out by him. If Zhang Dehui was only given [-]% of the shares, I am afraid he would not like it.

This person's thoughts have already flown to the mine, and the current mine is not the same as before.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't be satisfied with the helm of the factory who couldn't devote himself wholeheartedly.

Zhou Shifeng's recent performance is very good.

If there is a result, I can consider giving him some dry shares.

……

Although Zhou Shifeng is not from a technical background, the majority of China Heavy Industry is craftsmen, and many people are called masters when they are placed outside.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, I have some understanding of craftsmen.

Wan San and his apprentices were busy improving the steam engine. When they heard that it was going to be applied to the new factory, Xiao Jiu, who was busy designing the railway, was also called back.

Zhou Shifeng didn't dare to interrupt, so he called two other sixth-level craftsmen in the factory, and the three of them took a carriage together to visit coke workshops in various places.

I was not satisfied after going to seven or eight houses in a row, and the distance was like a mountain. Although the two sixth-level blacksmiths did not know coking, they could provide some ideas.

"Those masters didn't have their own insights, they just abided by the techniques passed down from the previous generation."

"Yes, just like us, he can be evaluated as a sixth-level worker, not to mention Master Wansan, even a seventh-level worker is not qualified."

"Sigh." Zhou Shifeng sighed, "Master Wansan is rare, and where can we find it?"

"There will always be, but it depends on luck. Maybe the next family will meet them, or maybe they don't exist in the whole of Beiping. You need to go to another place to find them."

Sure enough, the man had a crow's mouth.

After several days of returning empty-handed, Zhou Shifeng finally asked around and learned that there was a very famous master in Shanxi.

After informing Zhu Gaochi, he got approval and hurriedly led the team to Shanxi.

Datong, Shanxi.

"It's strange to say that I planned to go to Shandong to look for it, but many people recommended this master from Shanxi."

"Shandong's coal and iron are well-known throughout the country, but people recommend this master from Shanxi more, which shows his ability."

"I hope so." Zhou Shifeng felt numb to the number of recent disappointments, so he didn't have too much hope during this trip, lest disappointment be more uncomfortable.

Ask for directions and stay overnight.

"The coal yards here haven't used steam engines yet."

The craftsmen who followed were shocked. He thought that steam engines had been used everywhere.

"You don't know something." Zhou Shifeng and several craftsmen traveled all the way, and their friendship became deeper and deeper. "You all say that Shandong is famous for its coal and iron production throughout the country, and the province with the largest output. Naturally, people from outside the cabinet put all their energy here. They haven't sent anyone to Shanxi to open up the market yet."

"But the steam engine is so good, wouldn't they take the initiative to buy it?"

"The smell of wine is also afraid that the alley is deep. How many people outside know about steam engines, even if they know, if they are not engaged in coal, they will not care."

"It seems to be here, it should be here."

Seeing a flat kiln in the distance, Zhou Shifeng asked politely.

"Excuse me, is it Master Wang's house?"

"Who are you?" A young man came out, looked at everyone, and asked in an unhappy tone.

"We are from Peking."

"Peking? Didn't they come from Shandong?" The young man's tone became better.

Zhou Shifeng and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Does this person have prejudices?
