Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 446 The Core of the Gloria Territory
Today, it has been almost three years since Huang Jiang became the lord of Jialan Territory. Even for an ordinary person, three years is not too long in his entire life, let alone a territory.Although Huang Jiang tried his best and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to promote the industrialization of Jialanling, until now, the entire industry of Jialanling has only built a framework.

There is still so much to fill.

However, after all, industrialization is the representative of the advancement of this era. Even in Huangjiang's previous life, there were very few countries that had truly completed industrialization. Therefore, even if it is a framework, placed in the entire federation, the industrial group built by Huangjiang It is also a very powerful existence. Even the merchant alliance, which has gathered almost all the capital in the federation, has to look at it with suspicion.

Most of them are named after Jialan.

Most of the properties named after Jialan in the Jialan Territory are properties under the name of Huangjiang. However, under Lexington's operation, everything is in compliance with the regulations of the parliament.

Among them, Jialan Steel Group is the main body.The Jiagang here does not refer to the Jiagang that is still producing steel today, but the Jiagang that was originally established by Huang Jiang with the help of the business alliance and was officially split by Huang Jiang more than a year ago.

Among them, Jialan Steel Group, Jialan Materials Group, and Jialan Chemical Group are the core of Jialan Heavy Industry. The latter two are still in a state of preparation. Although some products have begun production, they have not yet officially entered the public eye. The Jialan Research Institute, which was separated from the Jiagang Laboratory and is the research institute in Stan's hands, is also a project that Huang Jiang attaches great importance to.

In addition, Jialan Automobile, which holds federal automobile patents, and Jialan Energy, which was established with initial capital from AC power station patent fees, are also development projects after Jialan Ling.In a sense, these industries are the industries of the Deacon House, and most of them are industries that must be controlled by themselves.

Compared with these fundamentals, the light industries on Iris Island are completely the result of investment promotion. Apart from the government office and the port, Huangjiang has no other industries on the entire island, and even the residential areas for employees are completely destroyed after that. It was handed over to the management of the Factory Owners Committee.Jialan only sent a few regular staff to supervise.

During this visit to the Huangjiang River, all of the above industries will naturally be visited.Among them, in addition to Jiagang, those located on Jialan Island are Jialan Research Institute, which is located at the original AC test site, Jialan Materials and Jialan Energy, which are anchored there and are waiting for the completion of the smelting plant on Yuanluo Island. , by then, Jialanling will gradually begin the industrialization of its own petrochemical industry.

Thinking of this, Huang Jiang paused.

"What's wrong?" Shengsheng stopped and asked.

"Ah, I was just wondering whether it was the right choice to sell the control of AC in order to fund the development of the territory." Huang Jiang said with some distress, because the more he controlled, the more he wanted to control. This is Human selfish desires can only be restrained but cannot be eliminated.

When Huangjiang merged Jialan General Electric into Morgan's company, there were indeed pros and cons. The most obvious benefit was that it obtained a large amount of liquid funds, which relieved the pressure on infrastructure at the time for Jialan and also summoned ships for Huangjiang. His mother provided a large sum of money, but what Huang Jiang valued most was the popularization of electricity.

There is no doubt that Jialan did not have the financial resources or connections to promote alternating current. Even with the help of the Secretary of the Merchant Alliance, he could not compare to a director of the Merchant Alliance who had great hands and eyes.In order to activate the potential of the entire federation, the popularization of alternating current is necessary. He has missed the changes in the steam age, so the changes in the electrical age are an opportunity for his territory to take off.

The price he paid for this was the right to speak in AC. Fortunately, Huangjiang did not choose to sell it at that time, but merged, retaining a certain degree of autonomy. At least Huangjiang still had the final say in the power of Jialanling. of.

"Everything is not perfect." Sheng Yuan said, "All actions are just to measure the gains and losses of interests."

"That's right." Huang Jiang smiled, turned to look at Miller, and said, "Let's go. Jiagang has nothing to see, it's just a building. Let's go to the research institute."

Jialan Iron and Steel Group, the money bag of Huangjiang River, although the central building of the group is located in Beigang on Jialan Island, everyone knows that its real core, that is, the group of advanced iron smelting plants are all concentrated in Sutie island.If you really want to inspect Jialan Steel, it is completely meaningless to just visit a Jialan Steel Building. You must go to Cycad Island to find out.

However, Huang Jiang saw this very clearly. In fact, he and Milton were silent about the ownership of Cycad Island. There was no need for Huang Jiang to provoke Milton at this stage, at least until he occupied enough energy islands. , Huang Jiang didn’t want the governor of Tulip to have a reason to sanction him. No matter how ridiculous or double-standard the reason was, it would put Huang Jiang in a passive situation. In the final analysis, even the public opinion within the Gloria Territory was not completely controlled by him. Control, not to mention the outside world, a governor is enough to confuse right and wrong, he only needs an excuse.

North Port is as quiet as ever, and the unloaders at the port are busy carrying cargo from ships that have just entered the port.

The weather is still cool today, but most of the workers have taken off their shirts.

Huang Jiang's eyes did not stay at Beigang for too long. Instead, he looked past the moored ships and looked in the direction of Cycad Island.

It's not enough, the current strength is not enough.Huang Jiang muttered in his heart and looked away.

"Let's go to the laboratory." Huang Jiang got into the car, followed by Shengsheng.

"What did you seem to be worrying about just now?" Shengfu asked with concern.

Huang Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about all the unrealistic things you have thought about."

"There are also levels of unreality." He looked at Huang Jiang with a deep look, "I think your unreality should be described as ambition."

"No, no, no, no." Huang Jiang quickly shook his hand, "That makes me think he is some kind of careerist. I'm just trying my best to build my territory."

Sheng Sheng looked at Huang Jiang, her eyes drooping, as if she was trying to form words. Finally, she said, "Would you like some coffee?"

"Is there any black tea?" Huang Jiang said looking at the reputation.

"This is a must-have drink for every Royal Navy shipgirl." Shengsheng smiled, "But the car is not a place for tea."

"Then let's wait until we get to the research institute." Huang Jiang said, "I often drink Hu De's black tea, but I have forgotten the taste of you."

Sheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Huang Jiang didn't care at all about the ambiguity in the sentence just now. He just leaned against the car window and watched the scenery speeding by on the roadside.They have left the city and entered the grassland, where there are a large number of pastures.

In the distance, the chimneys and cooling towers of the Jialan Power Station are faintly visible.

"Is there anything, madam, recently?" Huang Jiang suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Shengsheng asked.

"I think my wife has been acting weird lately." Huang Jiang muttered, "I think you should know."

"I know." Reputation nodded.

"Really?" Huang Jiang looked at Shengsheng with a hint of surprise.

Shengsheng Wanran smiled, put his index finger on his lips, squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"But this matter only makes sense if my wife tells you it herself, right? You will know by then."
