Humen Port has now become the entire Hualian cargo distribution base, backed by the sea and connected with the entire Guangdong, forming a lush marine trade pattern.

Before countries could form modern unified and standardized port construction, Hualian had designed and manufactured some forklifts, gantry cranes, yard bridges, stackers, front hoists, electric hoists and other port machinery under the guidance of Zhong Yang. The emergence of these tools greatly improved the working efficiency of the port.

This means that you have more throughput than others, and the birth of wealth is reflected in this little detail.

The clean and tidy port is paved with spacious and flat cement roads. Forklifts are carried forward with containers under the operation of dock workers, and the goods will be stacked neatly together.

Everything here is so orderly that the gantry crane that can lift 45 tons of cargo is like a giant steel arm, stacking the heavy cargo together with the container. Don’t underestimate this, this can increase the efficiency of space utilization of the port and allow more cargo to be stacked here in Humen Port.

Among them, the annual cargo throughput of the coal terminal in Shajiao Port District, Humen is expected to reach 10 million tons, while the design loading and unloading capacity of the container terminal in Shajiao Port District is 600 tons, and the annual throughput of the 5,000-ton berth terminal is 2 million tons, and two berths are planned to be developed with 35,000-ton berths.

Humen Port is connected to the three water networks of Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang, and is connected to Hong Kong, Macao and South China. The port facilities are complete. In addition to the joint inspection units such as customs, border inspection, inspection and quarantine, and port supervision, passenger and freighter terminals and waterway transportation routes can directly reach Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Guangxi, Wuzhou and other places.

It is precisely because of this that the importance of this place is becoming more and more important. Today, this harbor, which is obviously a private industry, has welcomed the first batch of foreign guests. The reason why it is said to be foreigners is because these people wearing well-dressed suits come from Nanjing under the ** government.

Among them were civilian businessmen and civilians with government civil servants. They were all shocked by the scene here. Huge steel figures were everywhere, and metal products appeared more than workers, and there were no noise and noisy scenes in other harbors and terminals in China.

The ground is obviously cleaned regularly, clean and tidy, which makes people feel comfortable. The inside of the dock is also quiet, with only the occasional stirring sound of large-scale engines when they are started and the sound of the engine passing by forklifts.

As far as you can see, there are no sweaty docks, nor are there ragged unemployed people. The management of the personnel here is obviously very effective. Idle people cannot enter. In such a large harbor, there are less than a hundred workers on duty. All physical work is basically done by cold mechanical equipment.

Occasionally, there are several ground staff on duty who are checking and registering with documents, or lead a few customers to come here to collect their goods based on the order of goods.

Song Ziwen, who accompanied him, was the highest-level official in this group. In terms of identity, he was an old minister who followed Jiang Ruiyuan when he started his career. In terms of position, he is now the Minister of Finance of the Nanjing ** Government, and also serves as a member of diplomacy, budget, capital construction, Yellow River water conservancy, national defense organization and other committee members, with great power.

With this background, Hualian official also gave him grand courtesy, because of the previous political statements, Hualian and the ** government have eased their conflicts.

Wearing a formal Han dress, Ning Chengdong was an official from the Foreign Affairs Ministry who came to receive Song Ziwen on behalf of the cabinet. His heroic posture really made people feel good about it.

"Cheng Dong, is this Humen Harbor? It's very different from my original memory." Song Ziwen was in her thirties and had no handsome face, but she was also extremely free and had a demeanor. As soon as she met her, she could get along with Ning Cheng Dong and show her unique diplomatic charm.

Ning Chengdong also felt something about Song Ziwen's feelings: "Indeed, more than a year ago, this was just a dilapidated fishing port. In a blink of an eye, it had become the largest port of Hualian, which is really amazing."

In 1924, Song Ziwen and Sun Yixian jointly established the Central Bank here, and were still familiar with the economic development of Guangzhou and Dongguan. But in a blink of an eye, five years have passed, and when I come back here again, I see a strange scene.

"Is this seaport a government industry?" Looking at the amazing Humen Port, Song Ziwen was also very confused in addition to feeling moved. He was always confused about the political power of Hualian. He did not think that Li Wansheng was a superior with such talent and could build such a place full of miracles.

"No, if you talk about the owner of the dock, it is naturally Mr. Liu Haoran. However, the current Hualian is in a unified planning for commercial matters. By the way, Mr. Liu Haoran is also the first president of the China Economic Union."

Song Ziwen also knew about Hualian's planned economic system reform. The light industry transferred in it was the ** government to take over a lot. Thinking back to the beginning, he was secretly happy, thinking that this was the beginning of Hualian's economic decline.

However, this time he came here, what he saw along the way made him irreversibly shaken and suspicious about his thoughts - will Hualian really collapse due to the withdrawal of the businessman?

In the Central Plains War, the ** government has already gained the upper hand, and this is also supported by the Hualian. Song Ziwen came this time to receive a batch of weapons and materials and carry out political interactions between the two sides at the top of the board. Hualian expressed enough kindness to the central government, and Jiang Ruiyuan also wanted to give a reply.

It is most appropriate to have Song Ziwen as the head of the visiting group. However, in the name of economic and trade cooperation, we have conducted a friendly visit in Guangdong for a month. As for what kind of kindness you want to achieve through such actions, it is unknown.

As early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Humen was already a well-known commodity distribution center. After recent years of economic construction, Humen has formed a large-scale, serialized market and a strong sales network that can be used at home and abroad.

At present, there are 36 professional markets of various types in the town, with a total construction area of ​​300,000 square meters. The Fumin Commercial City is under planning and construction, with a construction area of ​​470,000 square meters and more than 10,000 shops.

The annual throughput of the container terminal reaches 180,000 containers and nearly 1.4 million tons of freight. Humen is about to be a hot commercial and logistics center in the Pearl River Delta region.

Listening to Ning Chengdong's proud introduction, Song Ziwen couldn't explain clearly what he felt in his heart. His mood at this time was really complicated. The ** government led by Sun Yixian ruled here for three years, but it turned out that it left a mess all over the place.

After spending the same time, Hualian built this place into a place of economic prosperity and stability in people's livelihood. In contrast, Jinling and Shanghai, which are staggeringly developing local light industry, were ashamed of their previous complacency.

Full of ambition, he was overshadowed in the face of this huge harbor that condensed the strength of Hualian's mechanization industry. He didn't know how to catch up with such a huge technological gap.

Ning Chengdong did not see Song Ziwen's bitter mood at the moment, and was still talking about some general situations in the harbor: "Minister Song, the land area of ​​the entire port has reached 6,000 hectares, which is equivalent to more than 5,600 standard football fields, and the waterway has also been rectified. Ships with a draft of 9 meters can enter the port."

Many officials accompanied him were also very interested in what Ning Chengdong introduced. The port was very large, and the group also took a specially arranged sightseeing bus and did not walk into the hotel.

Everyone was listening to Ning Chengdong's words attentively, trying to analyze useful information and information from it. This was also their main job this time. After hearing such words and in conjunction with Ning Chengdong's supplementary explanation, these officials and businessmen from the Party came from the ** Party were all over the hearts of the five flavor bottles.

Whether happy or sad, or resentful or sad, all kinds of moods flow like colorful colors on their faces.

In terms of the dock, there is no preferential treatment for this group of visitors with special identities. This is a private industry and is not affected by government departments. In fact, the ground staff working here do not have much conception for the central government far away from several provinces.

"Container No. 18, 2053 to 2068." After taking the payment receipt handed over by Song Ziwen, the foreman on duty today notified the control room through the walkie-talkie.

There, specialized technical workers will operate the huge gantry spreader, and transfer the required containers and place them on the ground. Then they will be sent to the freighter by a forklift or loaded directly onto the truck and transported into the city.

The huge gantry, as its name is, is like a tall door frame beam, and its main function is to support it. An electric hoist is installed on it: a lifting mechanism composed of chains, ratchets, and gears. Through the principle of moving pulleys, the electric hoist is very labor-saving when lifting heavy objects.

If the dock workers alone have the physical strength, the port's cargo throughput efficiency will inevitably be low, and the public security is chaotic and the hygiene situation will become quite bad. How can it be like Humen Harbour, with a professional technical team and powerful metal equipment, which only requires a few people, but can achieve achievements that others cannot achieve.

"Master, how much heavy can you lift up with this set of tools? How much does it cost in daily maintenance?" Song Ziwen asked the foreman who was responsible for contacting and commanding. Although he was respectful in his identity, he was actually not arrogant and had a calm tone.

"Well, simply put, there is no problem with goods below 16 tons. However, this electric hoist is really not very useful. Not only does it increase the weight, it also needs to be inspected frequently. I heard that the new gantry crane has been developed, so I don't know when it will be put into use, so that our work can be easier."

This foreman is also a real person, and he has no intention of saying his true feelings directly. However, this made the ** party members around him curse in their hearts: "You are not relaxed even if you are like this, so dock workers should live? And what electric hoist, I even dislike such a useful thing. Just don't want it, I can give it to us."

Song Ziwen didn't understand some professional stress calculation problems, but he still understood the concept of sixteen tons. It was almost something that only 160 strong men could lift. It only took a few minutes to cooperate with three ground staff. Moreover, the maintenance cost of the gantry and electric hoist was not high, which was cheaper than hiring workers.

It is not as troublesome as hiring a coolie to transport it, and it saves a lot of public security risks.

Song Ziwen was born in economics. He was not sure about such efficiency, wealth and interests, and he blurted out immediately: "Cheng Dong, are you going to use such a machine?". His expression was obviously very excited, and he didn't even care about the other party's lion's mouth.

It is worth it to get such a powerful tool.

Ning Chengdong could only smile bitterly at Song Ziwen's enthusiasm: "Minister Song, I'm afraid you can't afford these things."

"Money is not a problem, you can just speak up." After receiving a lot of financial assistance from the United States, Song Ziwen also seemed a little rich and generous.

"This is not a matter of money. In Hualian, there is no authority value, so there may not be many things you can buy."

"Permission Value?" has been busy with market economy reform and light industry development plans. The details of Hualian's economic system changes are indeed not clear, so this question is.

"Yes, in big cities, almost all goods are supplied by tickets. Even in rural areas, without permission, farmers are increasingly reluctant to sell their agricultural products. Gantry cranes are high-end products in the industrial field and require a large amount of permissions to be exchanged for purchase qualifications. Even if you have a government special approval, it is useless if it is rejected by the China Economic Union."

Ning Chengdong is a secretary of the cabinet and is very familiar with these policies and strategies. When explaining to Song Ziwen, his expression was also dry. In China, government departments are so frustrated, and I am afraid that only Hualian is here.

This is the first time that Song Ziwen knows that the distribution of power within Hualian is actually in this state. It is a bit like the American government system, and the fundamental power is in the hands of the big capitalists in Congress.

"Is there really no way?" Song Ziwen still didn't give up. He knew that after obtaining such a set of technical and personnel management solutions, he could turn Shanghai into the world's largest freight terminal, and the economic benefits and political capital here are very attractive.

"In this matter, you can only ask the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry to help, or go directly to Mr. Liu Haoran, which will be more effective." Ning Chengdong could only say that he could not help.

Song Ziwen had no choice but to accept this result. This time, he led the delegation to come, mainly to be familiar with the industrial strength of Hualian, and by the way, he was here to be a student, intending to learn from some valuable industrial development experience from here.

**The government now has a stable base and has begun to consider the development of industry and commerce to expand fiscal revenue and enrich the treasury that is extremely empty due to frequent wars. Jiang Ruiyuan himself is also very envious of Hualian's advanced weapons and technology equipment. He urgently hopes to introduce corresponding production technology from Hualian.

Even if the production line is not available, we hope to obtain the right to purchase various military supplies, which has great practical significance for the construction of the national defense industry.

The grand manor, beautiful and exquisite garden pavilions, lifelike statues, and the decoration inlaid with gems, highlights the wealth of the owner of the manor.

In this manor, a grand and luxurious banquet was opened, and emerging business nobles walked through the banquet, smiling, chatting with each other, whether real or fake. When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its highest level, people raised their wine glasses and toasted the owner of the manor with a glass of Chinese wine.

Zhong Yang, those who were able to participate in this gathering were all real core members of the Ancient Chinese Association. There were also real power figures from the Cabinet and the International Economic Union. Among them, some of them may understand Zhong Yang's power and status, and of course some are unclear.

As a foreign guest, Song Ziwen was also invited to this banquet, and due to the rules of Hualian, he wore finely crafted clothes. He was really puzzled. As a Christian family, he had no yearning for ancient Chinese culture. He was also very unaware of why the economy could flourish in this place where retroism was everywhere.

Because he saw with his own eyes that he had a different view on the planned economic system reform that the Hualian is implementing than before. This is not stupid. On the contrary, this economic concept is not unfamiliar with this kind of economic concept. Song Ziwen himself has also argued with political leaders from all walks of life within the party. He even proposed to Jiang Ruiyuan several times as a threat, but never passed.

After some consultation and personal inspection, he finally understood the principle of setting the authority value of Hualian. In fact, the purpose is very simple, that is, the settlement of efforts and income, and does not simply use currency as the standard, but adds the authority value setting.

Simply put, if you want to open a printing and dyeing factory under Hualian's rule, then the first thing you have to do is to report copywriting to obtain business qualifications. In fact, this is far from enough. Without the help of the Industrial and Economic Union, your raw material procurement and machine procurement are all problems.

Even if you can successfully run a printing and dyeing factory, if you don’t handle pollution well, the money you earn cannot offset the deduction of the authority value. Not to mention that materials and equipment must be used as purchase certificates, but after the authority value is cleared, your factory will be confiscated by the government and transferred to the China Economic Union at a low price.

In all these things, the Industrial and Economic Union has set up many obstacles in industrial development, and it seems that it does not want capital to invest here. Such things make Song Ziwen very puzzled, and it is simply a struggle with money.

However, in the development of heavy industry, he had to admit that Hualian had approached or even reached the level of the great powers. This is why he obtained some equipment and technology at all costs.
