Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 85 Cooperation reached

Chaozhou Ocean Trading Company was established five days after the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce was established.

The Song family, represented by Xiaohuan, and seven powerful major shareholders will hold different proportions of the shares according to the amount of capital contributed by each party.

The safety and interests of Chaozhou Ocean Trading Company's overseas trade are guaranteed by the Shunfeng Escort, so [-]% of the dividends are given to the Shunfeng Escort every year, and the rest is divided according to the proportion of each shareholder.

The purchase list of Franc Robot was handed over, and Chaozhou Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. made a quotation.

After the two parties reach an agreement, Chaozhou Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. will place an order for the members of the chamber of commerce according to the list and deliver the goods within a time limit.

In this way, members of the Chamber of Commerce will have stable orders, and their enthusiasm will naturally be high.

In order to complete the production tasks as soon as possible and expand the production scale, they will recruit a large number of workers and build new factories and workshops.

Under this impetus, the form of capitalism will naturally take shape.

This was Tangning's original plan. If there were any deviations, he would ask Xiaohuan to take the lead and set a good example.

Everyone knew that the person behind Xiaohuan was the unpredictable Tang Ning, Master Tang.

Mr. Tang predicts things like a god and turns clouds and rains upside down, so following him is definitely not wrong.

So everyone is instinctively willing to imitate and learn, and the new workshops are also called factories or companies.

For example, the largest textile factory in Chaozhou, the management and production process of the factory are also very different from the traditional ones.

Tang Ning also planned to let those members of the chamber of commerce visit and study. He was not afraid that these experiences would be learned and affect the business of his factory.

After all, his best interests are behind him.

If the business of these members becomes bigger and stronger, more people will be attracted to join.

The influence of the chamber of commerce and even the areas controlled by the new army will increase, and the dividends he will receive will gradually increase. This is a virtuous circle.

In just a few days, the temporary artillery factory located in the west of the city has been rebuilt. Wannu Bugarao took a brief tour and was very satisfied.

He and the other seven were the first batch of technicians, and they were also a very good group of technicians in the gun factory. As the current manager of the Bugarao Cannon Foundry, he really hoped to see the gun factory restored to its former glory.

Bugarao Cannon Factory was established by Peter Bugarao, Wannu Bugarao's father, and it was also his father who created the splendor of the cannon factory.

Twenty years ago, Bugarao Cannon Factory even dared to be called the No. 20 artillery factory in the Far East and the best artillery factory in the world.

Even the British ordered their artillery from thousands of miles away, and won the battle with the French, becoming famous.

However, with the death of old Bugarao, Wannu Bugarao failed to inherit his father's excellent cannon-casting technology, and the artillery factory began to decline slowly with the money accumulated by old Bugarao.

Wannu Bogarao, who devoted all his life to the gun factory, was very frustrated, but he was powerless.

Until he suddenly saw this new type of powerful artillery from the New Army, he seemed to have gained a new life.

Even though he is over 60 years old, he is full of passion in an instant.

He wanted to understand this new type of artillery at all costs, so he accepted so many harsh conditions without much hesitation.

After returning to Haojing, he even spared no effort to persuade Governor Shi Luobao and other officials in charge of local government affairs.

If you get the support of these people, it is equivalent to getting the support of the Kingdom of Portugal.

In the end, Wannu Bugarao succeeded. He hastily arranged the affairs of Bukalau Cannon Factory and Wannuhang, and then visited Chaozhou in person again.

Now, seeing three brand-new and different types of artillery in front of him, Wannu Bugarao was very excited. As a Catholic, he kept praying and thanking God.

The three guns Tang Ning took out were the GrW34 mortar, the Le.FH18 howitzer and the Type 40 anti-tank gun.

On this point, Tangning had no secrets. These types of guns almost covered the main guns.

Tangning also personally explained the working principles and operation methods of several cannons to Wannu Bugarao, which made Wannu Bugarao very grateful and changed his impression of Tangning even more.

Of course, the shells were not provided, he only provided a few empty shell cases, explained the construction of the shells, and let them figure it out for themselves.

Even so, Tangning was already very generous. He was so generous that Wannu Bugarao couldn't be stingy.

He did not refuse the Ming craftsmen that Tang Ning arranged to come in, and he was willing to discuss some techniques of the Bugarao Cannon Factory with these craftsmen.

Because in his mind, some of the technologies of the Bugarao Cannon Foundry have gradually fallen behind the times.

Instead of keeping these obsolete technologies, it's better to exchange them for Tangning's greater support.

If you can master this new type of cannon-casting technology, you can get it back no matter how much you pay.

But Wannu Bugarao was only happy for two days, because on the third day, the Dutch came.

The Dutch also agreed to Tangning's conditions and showed their sincerity with more silver.

According to the latest news, Tangning has promised the Dutch to build a temporary gun factory in the east of the city.

In this way, things are irreparable, and the Dutch have acquired the same rights as their Portuguese.

The only thing that pleased Wannu Bugarao was that the Portuguese had a great advantage in the Far East in terms of casting cannons.

After all, the Bugarao Cannon Foundry has existed in Oyster Mirror for more than half a century, and even once achieved brilliant achievements.

The most influential Dutch in the Far East was the Dutch East India Company, but it was only a trading company and was not good at casting cannons.

Therefore, the Dutch should not have excellent cannon casting technicians in the Far East. If they are transferred from China, it will take at least a few months or even longer.

And these times are very important to Wannu Bugarao, so he almost forgot to eat and sleep and began to study these new types of artillery.

The list of the first batch of goods needed by the Portuguese has been distributed to the factories and workshops by the Chaozhou Ocean Trading Company, and overtime production has begun.

But even so, there are still not enough manpower, after all, all this happened too suddenly, and the delivery deadline is very tight.

Therefore, recruitment notices were posted everywhere in Chaozhou Prefecture, and even spread to Zhangzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture and even Guangzhou Prefecture.

Apart from workers, the most urgent thing in Chaozhou Prefecture is land, especially the land for building factories. As soon as new factories and workshops are planned, construction starts immediately.

The shortage of land has naturally led to an increase in prices.

Tang Ning had expected it a long time ago, so as soon as he got the loan money, he immediately invested 100 million taels to expand the Fucheng, which won the unanimous support of the people in the city.

Fucheng, which had just escaped from the flames of war, was quickly put into intense construction, just like Huanggang City back then.

The recruiting of recruits started again, and the whole Chaozhou Prefecture, and even the aspiring young people who poured into Chaozhou Prefecture, all enthusiastically joined.

However, whether it was the expansion of the prefecture, the recruitment and training of recruits, or the affairs of the chamber of commerce, Tangning did not interfere much, nor did he have the energy.

However, that doesn't mean he's idle.

On this day, Xiao Wu hurriedly came to report, "My lord, a man named Song Yingxing appeared. I personally inquired about it. The recruiter from Yuanzhou Mansion in Jiangxi..."

Hearing this, Tangning couldn't sit still anymore. He had basically confirmed that this Song Yingxing was the person he was looking for.
