Chapter 1082 The Impoverished Factory Owner and the Wealthy Lord!

In fact, after several large enterprises in the territory entered a healthy and normal operation, Su Mo rarely visited them again.

As the largest shareholder.

In addition to the daily analysis of the company's performance and data by Zero, and the delivery of some business suggestions.

The most he did was to open the system interface and enter the technology upgrade to see if there were any "geniuses" who had recently developed new technologies that people were interested in.

If there were, he would allocate a sum of money from the account of Tianyuan Dungeon for corresponding support, and then invest some survival points to help according to the importance.

If not, he would continue to let them grow on their own without giving any extra opinions.

This method has many advantages and disadvantages.

But during the period of the Metal Sigh disaster, the most obvious improvement was the improvement of creativity.

As the industry gradually recovered, the internal supply reached an upper limit that could not be expanded.

A problem was placed in front of all factory owners.

Either they went out to open up new markets, such as recruiting a group of new people to join the territory and generate new demands.

Or they would find a way to transport the goods to a farther place, at least to open up Qinggang City and the surrounding gathering places first.

Take soap as an example.

With the surge in production at the chemical plant, it can now produce 300 bars of soap every day. If it is running all day, this capacity can even double to 600 or even 700 bars.

But what about the demand?

There are less than 13,000 people in Tianyuan Territory, including the natives of Blue Star.

When these people first needed soap, the chemical plant made a lot of money and even bought it to make money.

The good times didn't last long, less than a month.

When everyone in the territory had a bar of soap, this thing immediately became a slow-selling product.

A large amount of soap production can only be piled up in the warehouse to mold.

Give up production, and don't fire the recruited employees immediately, because they have to sign a contract when they join the company.

The boss of the chemical plant almost turned gray with worry.

Fortunately, the Western Suburbs Alliance suddenly appeared during this period, and there were two more big households that were eager for supplies.

There are nearly 100,000 people in the Pingtan Shelter and the Giant City Shelter.

Before the needs of these people are met, the chemical plant will not declare bankruptcy immediately.

"It is meaningless to make money from our own people. In the end, it will only cause the goods to be seriously unsalable and the internal economic cycle to collapse."

"But if we can build a vehicle to transport goods to farther places, think about it, I really don’t know how much money we can make back."

"And we don’t need to invest all of it ourselves. Other factories in the territory have not been able to sell goods recently. Let them form a joint venture to share the pressure of research and development. When the products are produced, everyone can use them together."

Spicy Hammer persuaded and tempted the owner of the tank factory.

If you want to say who knows the most about aircraft manufacturing in the territory, it has to be the old mechanic "Midnight Plane".

"Yes, isn't this your dream? Let's build a big guy that can really fly into the sky!"

"If the Qinggang Shelter sends those helicopters over next time, we will drive our own plane to shoot them down!"

The doomsday madman shouted at the side, spitting everywhere, and almost wanted to say that I will take charge of the weapons on the plane.

It's so annoying!

If you want to say which factory is the worst now, it must be his weapons factory that ranks first.

Not only did all the weapons produced become scrap metal, but the machine tools they produced were also dismantled into parts.

Although there will be a large number of orders after the Metal Sigh disaster, the experience of the chemical plant has proved that if you don't expand the market and only focus on the meat of domestic demand, you will definitely go down a road of no return.

If the aircraft of the territory, no, if the aircraft of the alliance can fly to other places.

Then the propaganda weapons will be easy to get!

By then, the Madman Weapons Factory may receive a lot of orders like snowflakes, which is awesome!

But.

"You think that building an airplane is too simple."

Midnight Airplane smiled bitterly, picked up the design drawing on the table, flipped through it a few times, and shook his head frequently.

"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen an airplane that does not have a separate crew cabin. Do you want to stand on the ground and fly this thing remotely? What if the signal is cut off?"

Just talking about the industrial level, let alone Tianyuan Territory, even the Sunny Harbor Shelter does not have a complete production line for building airplanes.

Or in other words, there is the level of production, but no conditions for production.

In a normal airplane, there are hundreds or thousands of parts, involving all aspects.

Even in modern society, if you want to build an airplane, you need to go to different factories to purchase them in order to reduce the manufacturing cost.

According to the current size of 10,000 people in the territory, you want to take a plane, even if it is just a castrated version of a glider.

This is not the level that the current production level can do.

However, what surprised Midnight Airplane was that when he heard his question, the boss of the underworld factory next to him laughed.

"Who said that we don't have anyone to fly a plane? Just build it, and someone will naturally fly it when the time comes."

"That won't work either. The production line of the tank factory has to wait until it returns to normal to produce vehicles for support."

"Fuck, can't you expand the production line? Let's raise funds!"

Spicy Iron Hammer coughed lightly and immediately set an example.

"If you agree to this, whether it succeeds in the end or not, I will personally contribute 15,000 copper coins on behalf of the iron smelting plant!"

"What? Can you contribute 15,000?"

Midnight Plane was a little stunned.

Although I have long heard that the owner of the steel factory is very wealthy and is one of the top tycoons in the entire territory.

But the number still frightened him.

According to the current normal salary of eighteen iron coins in the market, fifteen thousand copper coins is enough to hire one hundred people to work for eighty days!

"In addition, I will also give you an unprofitable factory price for the metal materials used in production, which is absolutely affordable."

"My weapons factory doesn't have much money right now, but I'll take care of the weapons that will be installed on the aircraft after it's built, so you won't have to worry."

The two sang in harmony and continued to offer inducements.

And since no one understands it better than me, it’s more real. I took out a piece of white paper from my chest and started reading.

"Imperial Building Materials Factory, invest 5,000 copper, requirements: 5% of the shares, not involved in the operation."

"Laotie Recycling Plant invests 1,000 copper and requires: 1% of the shares and sharing of information."

"The future cannery will invest 1,500 copper and require: transportation of goods at cost price."

"Xiangyun Chemical Factory, invested 2,000 copper, and requested: transportation of goods at cost price."

""

"I hope the village committee will contribute 3,000 coppers and request: wartime signs."

Damn it?

Did the village contribute the money?

If we say that the previous investment by companies of all sizes was because the market had entered a cold winter during this period, it was a helpless move.

Then the village's investment is somewhat interesting.

Is this what the lord meant? Just take this approach because it may not be successful?

Midnight Plane secretly speculated.

Now, before he even nods, the amount of funds raised has exceeded 50,000 copper coins, and the assets are comparable to the entire chariot factory.

It is no exaggeration to say that this money is enough to open another factory specializing in manufacturing aircraft in the village.

And these people came to him

"Well, are you sure you want me to take responsibility? What if it fails?"

"If you fail, you fail. If you lose, we all bear it together. Anyway, there will be no less food."

Spicy Iron Hammer said nonchalantly.

This is true.

For ordinary people living in the wasteland, just one bite of food is enough.

The so-called remuneration from productive labor is gone, then it is gone.

It’s impossible to go back to the time when you first traveled through time and was completely broke, right?

"Okay, let me try."

Midnight Plane nodded heavily, with many thoughts in his mind.

The significance of glider manufacturing does not lie in how many items can be transported, but in broadening the almost dangerous "road" in the air and paving the way for continued development in the future.

If it was a small or even medium-sized territory, the lord there would definitely not let his companies mess around like this.

After all, this is not a small investment. If it is transferred to ground development, it will definitely advance several orders of magnitude iteration.

But this is Tianyuan territory.

Just as they had just finished discussing the details, Sumo, who returned to the territory from the Pumpkin Bunker, also received this surprising news.

The eavesdropping monster Zero doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

In his programming, Sumo must be notified immediately for any technology with an investment of more than 20,000 copper coins.

"Master, based on the calculations of No. 0."

The small square shook slightly, as if thinking.

"The success rate should be around 9%, which is far lower than the 45% of the airship!"

Somo sat down calmly and took a sip of the cold tea from the thermos cup to refresh himself.

"But they don't want to make an airship, do they?"

When discussing with Su Deben before, Su Mo's first thought was to build an airship for transportation.

The cost is low, the technology is relatively simple, and it can be manufactured on a large scale. There is no need to prepare the take-off and landing sites.

The disadvantages are insufficient safety, uncontrollable routes, and the upper limit is too low.

Sounds like a good fit for the current territory.

But Sumo forgot the most important thing.

enthusiasm.

Build airships, build airplanes.

This seems to be the same track that conquers the sky, and both have the ability to allow humans to soar into the blue sky.

But the reality is that these are completely different things.

In the eyes of these people, building an airship is like building a tractor or farm machinery, a tool purely for production.

And airplanes are like sports cars, off-road vehicles, and sedans!

Who would be willing to build a tractor if they can build a sports car?

However, this is also the reason why Somo did not have strict requirements. He did not force these people to study according to his own wishes.

This has been verified many times in the past, and technical research on discursive management often yields surprising and unexpected breakthroughs.

However, in those areas that focus on research, progress is often difficult to advance.

The choice lies with these investors.

The money lost now is only the productivity of more than 10,000 people in the past six months. The territory can afford to lose, and he, the lord, can also afford to lose!

"In my name, invest"

After checking the account, I found that I had accumulated nearly one million copper coins without even realizing it.

Although Sumo was mentally prepared, he was also a little frightened by this number.

"What? We've already given out so much money?"

According to the purchasing power exchange, the value of one million is equivalent to 100 million or more on the earth.

No. 0 said aggrieved without knowing why.

"Master, all the companies in the territory have your shares, and you also took 90% of them!"

"The operating income of several other villages also has shares in the underground city, and they are all deposited in your personal account."

"A lot of money has been invested by Zero according to your wishes. If you really want to recover it, the current number should be at least doubled."

One times of one million

Or at least!

It doesn't matter if it's not counted.

According to the average output of 8 copper coins per person per day in the territory, two million is about equal to the labor output of the territory for three months.

According to the current grain price in the territory, this money is enough to empty the granary several times.

In total, more than 10,000 people worked hard for half a year, but in the end they got nothing and still owed a debt?

Of course, the real account is definitely not calculated in this way.

Su Mo was a little dumbfounded and anxious.

"What is the median savings of the villagers now?"

"Fifteen copper coins!"

Zero gave the exact number, which made Su Mo slightly relieved.

Fortunately, investing in the development of aircraft allowed him to discover the drawbacks of the current development in time.

It stands to reason that he, as the largest shareholder, should be responsible for market development to ensure normal production after taking away 90% of the company's profits.

But the reality is that the situation has been tense recently, and he has no mind or time to deal with these.

The factory has no orders, and the funds saved in the account are getting less and less, and there is no spare energy to expand externally.

This fundraising is also a decision made by a group of factory owners out of necessity.

Otherwise, if they continue to develop, they will not be able to open up a larger market, and a large number of companies will go bankrupt and workers will lose their jobs.

It will be difficult to recover at that time!

"I neglected to think about centralized management to prevent the emergence of termites." Su Mo scratched his head and wanted to return the shares, but he changed his mind and gave up the idea.

Compared with giving power to factory owners to develop technology and scale, there may be uncontrollable risks.

He spent some time deciding on the investment, at least he could guarantee that the success rate of the investment would not be low.

Even if there are occasional failures, they can be saved by the technology upgrade on the system panel.

"So, since there are one million copper coins in the account, take out 500,000 for investment."

"All for the aircraft factory?"

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded slightly, not worried that these people would burn all the money.

To build an airplane, it is not necessary to produce a complete airplane directly from the production line.

Instead, it is necessary to start with various small parts and manufacture various complex materials to meet the needs.

Moreover, according to the basic technology required for manufacturing airplanes, there will be no key and difficult points that cannot be broken through in the short term to waste time and resources.

When those basic technologies have achieved results, other basic industries can also benefit and expand production.

"Another 500,000"

"A large number of new people from the deep sea will join soon. Take out 300,000 as working capital to develop territory infrastructure."

"As for the remaining 200,000, they will be allocated to the Tianyuan Army and the Guard Department."
