Chapter 551 Industrial System

When Ouyang Shuo walked into the unique stone building of No. 7 Research Institute, he found that Liu Mo and others were already waiting.

"What, the three divisions will interrogate?" Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.

For these scientific researchers, Ouyang Shuo was rare to have no airs of a gentleman, talking and laughing casually.

Among the more than a dozen core members of the institute, except for Liu Mo who is an outlier, the others are all old men in their fifties or sixties. As for their students and assistants, they naturally did not have the opportunity to attend such a high-level meeting.

"I've been looking forward to your coming!"

Liu Mo took over the conversation with a smile and invited Ouyang Shuo to the front seat.

Ouyang Shuo sat down as he said, but his eyes casually glanced at a document placed on the tea table. I was taken aback. From this point of view, Liu Mo and the others really came prepared.

"Come on, what's the problem, do you need me to come forward?" Ouyang Shuo knew that these scientific researchers were not used to talking around corners, and they didn't whine about it, and they got straight to the point.

Liu Mo and the others smiled when they heard the words, but they were not embarrassed at all.

For them, efficiency is life.

"Look!"

Liu Mo stood up and handed the documents on the tea table to Ouyang Shuo with a rare solemn expression.

Ouyang Shuo took it, opened it, and saw the first page, with a huge title at the top - "Shanhai City Industrial System Planning Draft for the Next Two Years".

"Industrial system?" Ouyang Shuo asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Liu Mo looked frantic.

Ouyang Shuo nodded. The strategic idea put forward by No. 7 Research Institute coincided with his thinking. It seems that what the grandfather said is right, Shanhai City has no shortage of talents, and the collective wisdom will always be stronger than his own.

From now on, Ouyang Shuo still needs to be a "hands-off shopkeeper" properly.

In reality, the industrial system is not an unfamiliar term.

The so-called industrial system refers to the organic connection of industrial economic activities within a certain geographical range, and the whole of the resulting spatial flow, that is, the industrial system.

The composition of the industrial system, in addition to industrial production institutions, also includes: management institutions with decision-making and administrative functions and affiliated development research institutions; factories and mines engaged in raw material mining, processing or product repair; material transfer and product sales for production factories and mines Auxiliary services, etc.

Three elements are indispensable.

Take briefly the steel industry as an example.

To form a complete iron and steel industry, it must at least include iron mines, limestone mines, ironworks, steelmaking plants, rolling mills, coking plants, refractory material plants, machine repair plants and other production institutions, as well as those responsible for material procurement, transportation, and sales. As well as the auxiliary institutions for services and so on, and the management institutions themselves.

Going a little further, there are also affiliated design, research, analysis and testing, information and intelligence agencies.

All these institutions must be within a system and have close cooperation or subordination with each other, forming various material flows, personnel flows, and information flows.

As for a territory, apart from various basic mines, other institutions have to be dismantled into factories one by one, such as the steelmaking plant established now; various departments in the yamen, such as the Department of Finance, the Department of Industry, the Construction Department of the Administration Department, etc. companies, etc.; and scientific research institutions like No. 7 Research Institute, and educational institutions like Southwest University, thus forming an industrial system with intricate internal connections.

Comparing the two, the current system of Shanhai City is not enough to support an industrial system.

First, there are no iron mines with astonishing reserves in the territory, and iron ore is heavily dependent on imports. As for coal, it goes without saying that it is extremely scarce.

Only in the level of raw materials, the neck of the territorial industry is stuck. Although, in the past few months, the Department of Finance has used huge funds to purchase a large amount of iron ore and coal, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Second, the territory's technology has only developed to the stage of steelmaking. As for the subsequent steel rolling, it is only in the exploratory stage. As for the research on more high-end coking and refractory materials, it has not yet started.

As for the final machine repair, it is impossible to talk about it.

The only thing that is more gratifying is that the procurement, transportation and related services of iron ore and coal are all under the jurisdiction of the Finance Department, which is fairly coordinated.

Even so, there is a lack of relevant subdivisions within the Ministry of Finance, resulting in extensive management.

And this is just the iron and steel industry. The truly complete industrial system is even more complicated.

Covering coal, petroleum, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, food and pharmaceuticals, textiles, wood, chemical raw materials, chemical fibers, rubber, plastics, equipment, transportation, water, heat and other industries.

Therefore, if the territory really wants to establish a complete industrial system, it is really a long way to go, and it can even be said to be an extravagant hope. After all, there are too many restrictions from objective factors.

For the researchers of the No. 7 Research Institute, if they can truly establish this system in a wilderness with ancient China as the background, it will undoubtedly be a great sense of accomplishment.

In addition, I am afraid that there is also a potential sense of national pride in it. After all, the ancient Chinese never lacked great wisdom, but they missed the industrial revolution due to cultural differences.

If you can make up for this regret in the game, it will be well deserved!

Fortunately, Liu Mo and the others did not aim too high.

Ouyang Shuo took a look. The so-called two-year plan basically refers to related industries with the iron and steel industry as the core, and there is no ambition to establish a complete industrial system.

Even so, it is difficult.

The first one is the need for huge funds.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the final budget, and couldn't help trembling in his heart, he almost stood there in a daze.

Logically speaking, Ouyang Shuo has seen the world, even if it is a hundred thousand gold coins, in his eyes, it is no longer a big deal.

However, this time, Ouyang Shuo was still greatly shocked.

Because Liu Mo's funding requirement is a total of 1.2 million gold coins, which means that in the next two years, an average of 50,000 gold coins will be invested every month.

"Can't it be less?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"This is already the most conservative budget, not a single gold coin is missing." Liu Mo is still so stubborn.

"Ok!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly.

When the formation of the three major armies is completed, the military expenditure of the territory will inevitably double again.

Although it was said that they did not apply for additional financial aid from the Finance Department for the capture of Wuzhou County, Xunzhou County, and Zhen'an County, but Ouyang Shuo was still not optimistic about the budget for next year.

Coupled with the huge plan that Ouyang Shuo plans to implement, it really costs money everywhere, and it's not a small amount of money. Ouyang Shuo could have imagined Yingyou's cold face.
