After wasting more than a year, almost two years, Yang Yuanzhao was more or less depressed, but soon, he regrouped. He had known that he had known earlier, and it was not too late to know now. There was still two years before World War I. This was somewhat unremarkable. However, it should not be difficult to form a merchant ship production capacity with an annual output of 1 million tons. In World War I, it was all money. Even now, he could make arrangements in advance. No matter who produced it, as long as he took the merchant ship into his hands before World War I, it would be an unimaginable benefit.
Based on the data from the Bureau of Investigation, Yang Yuanzhao carefully interpreted the changes in Jiangnan Shipyard. This change started from Nie Yuntai entering Jiangnan Shipyard. He was also quite capable. After entering Jiangnan Shipyard, he drastically changed his previous bad habits, focusing on technology and production capacity. Not only did he gather a group of technical workers from the original Jiangnan Shipyard, but he also invited a lot from abroad. Now, all the docks of Jiangnan Shipyard have shipbuilding plans. The reason why he asked for loans was entirely to expand the scale of the docks. What he is currently preparing to use is about 2 5,000-ton and 1 10,000-ton.
In other words, after some adjustments, Jiangnan Shipyard has the ability to produce 10,000-ton cargo ships. From the beginning of the 20th century, cargo ships have begun to exceed 10,000-ton cargo ships, 10,000-ton cargo ships, are the most suitable in all aspects, and are the mainstream of the development of this world.
Yang Yuanzhao sighed. It seemed that he had underestimated China's industrial achievements before and omitted the Jiangnan Shipyard. Yang Yuanzhao knew very well. The 20th century was an ocean century. From 1900 to 2000, in a hundred years, ship manufacturing and technology had developed tremendously. From the early 20th century, it could barely produce 10,000-ton cargo ships to the 21st century, various cargo ships in different categories, and even tens of thousands of tons of natural gas ships and refrigerated ships. Tens of thousands of tons of oil tankers provide unparalleled carrying capacity. Ocean freight ships not only have more refined categories, but also have continuous improvement in load capacity.
As a time traveler, Yang Yuanzhao certainly would not let the navy and maritime shipping go unspoken. He had just felt that China was relatively backward in this regard, and there was no fully controlled seaport in the northwest. Instead of investing in maritime shipping and shipbuilding, it was better to invest in other industries that were more suitable. The time was ripe, and after the war began, there was naturally a way to build China's shipbuilding industry.
Now, after knowing the current situation of Jiangnan Shipyards, countless ideas emerged in Yang Yuanzhao's mind. This is an opportunity. A foundation for truly entering the world shipping and even laying out the navy in advance. Having a navy is not omnipotent, but today in the 21st century, without a navy, it is really impossible.
The construction of the port of Basra is to support Germany, and to allow the German-led allies to go further in the war. On the other hand, does it also allow the Northwest to have a wedge in the Middle East? Everything seems to be easy now, but what about the future?
Without a strong navy as support, this wedge would have no effect at all. By the end of World War I and the great powers had recovered their strength, then there would be a high possibility of Germany's failure. If Germany took a step back, Germany would win. Germany, which has the status of the king of Europe, would definitely turn its attention to this direction. The navy was weak and even a country without a navy could not protect this port that had spent huge amounts of money. It only relies on the army, no supplies, and no increase in personnel, except to cause losses to the other party.
There is no fortress that cannot be defeated. Even Gibraltar and Singapore, which have been operated for many years in Britain, have records of being defeated, not to mention Basra, the newly built port. Basra is a huge harbor or a military port in the Northwest people's plan, but it is useless to have no warships in the military port. Originally, Yang Yuanzhao was planning to go through a few years, especially when World War I broke out, through negotiations with Germany, using both materials and money. After inheriting the German dock in Qingdao, he was developing the navy, but better opportunities were placed in front of him. He even had the opportunity to intervene in the Jiangnan Shipyard.
The Jiangnan dock is a bit complicated, mixed with many families and two major forces in the north and south. However, what Yang Yuanzhao values is not the dock itself, but the technical workers in it. These workers who are skilled in shipbuilding can be said to be the greatest wealth.
If you can invest and occupy 70% of the shares, it is the best. Even if you can't get it, you can get a considerable say with the help of loans and capital injections. At that time, you will bring some skilled workers and engineers over, start a new factory, and build a new factory in a hidden location. Maybe you can produce warships while producing freighters. As for the other party that cooperates, Germany has long been decided.
Germany is probably the only country before World War I, which lacks production capacity. If Germany's dock is sufficient, the strategic form of the North Sea might change. As long as there is a dock, it will naturally be able to get support from Germany. At that time, with the help of Germany, it will be possible to train China's military shipbuilding industry in the shortest time. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Gently knocking on the table and sorting out your own ideas, this is not only the basis for moving to the northwest towards the ocean, but also the basis for intervening in a wider field in the northwest. You must not miss it.
Yang Yuanzhao made up his mind to invest in Jiangnan Shipyard. Nie Yuntai, who was on a steamboat, came to Tianjin in a dream and signed an order in just a few days. 12,000 tons of special steel was enough for Jiangnan Shipyard to produce a year. He also heard that a loan of 30 million might come back, and even Yang Yuanzhao wanted to invest 200 million.
A series of good news made Nie Yuntai feel dizzy. For the first time, he discovered that it was the right choice to leave Hengfeng and come to Jiangnan Shipyard. How much is Hengfeng Factory worth? Even after several expansions, it is only about 1.5 million yuan now. However, Jiangnan Shipyard has a plate of 40 million yuan. If Yang Yuanzhao invests in the shares, it will be a 50% premium. Their Nie family accounts for a little more than 5%, which is about 2 million yuan. The premium is 50%, but it has a direct profit of 1 million yuan. As for the future, as long as Yang Yuanzhao guarantees things arrive, this Jiangnan Shipyard with reduced equity will definitely become a cash monster, and its annual profit may be astronomical.
Nie Yuntai secretly decided to insist that the agreement was successful. Based on his understanding of shareholders, it is a bastard who has money but not earns money. Whether it is in the Beiyang or the Revolutionary Party, it is not forced to buy and sell, and buying at a premium is a normal business behavior. Besides, the Jiangnan Shipyard is in Shanghai, where their Nie family has been operating for more than 20 years. There is no need to worry about any problems at all.
On the steamer, Nie Yuntai thought about everything and was eager to return to Shanghai. The steamer quickly arrived in Shanghai from Tianjin in more than a day and handed over the orders from the northwest to his subordinates. He didn't need these small things, but he found most of the shareholders.
Many shareholders who occupy larger shares are not here, but their agents are in Tianjin. When he was in Tianjin, he learned through a telegram that he would come as much as possible. Although not all the people holding the meeting, the number of shares above 2% has arrived.
When Nie Yuntai told everyone about the trip to Tianjin and said that Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest was optimistic about this project and wanted to invest in it, it was in an uproar. Yang Yuanzhao's northwest had become an important force in China, and the strongest one could even resist the Russian army. However, for businessmen, the most envious thing was his golden hand. Every industry in the northwest had something to do with him. Just find an industry, which was a profitable industry, one after another. Now I heard that he was already rich enough to compete with the country, so I just took out 200 million yuan in funds.
But generally speaking, Yang Yuanzhao only invests in the northwest industries and rarely participates in other industries, which more or less disappoints the merchants in other places. Now, he has broken his original habit and actively invests in shares. Does this prove that the shipyard has a future?
The fierce discussions among shareholders are certainly not about whether Yang Yuanzhao intervened. Yang Yuanzhao's intervention is simply a matter of undesirable. The key now lies in the valuation of people, especially the huge industry of Jiangnan Shipyard, whether it is a fierce competition between cash and physical objects, or all physical objects, by shareholders.
Nie Yuntai has basically lost control. Even if he is the general manager, even if he has the background of the Nie family and Zeng family, he is nothing in front of the interests of ** and will be punished at all. Under the large plate of 40 million, a little change will be made in hundreds, even tens of thousands.
Fortunately, there is no end to **. Under the premise of letting Yang Yuanzhao intervene, ** still has a bottom line. In the end, they discussed a unified result. Yang Yuanzhao could inject 200 million yuan to enter the Jiangnan Shipyard, but he had to have 20 million yuan in cash and hand it over to all shareholders according to their respective shareholding ratios. To put it bluntly, this 50% premium needs to be purchased by Yang Yuanzhao.
The conditions were not too much. After sending a telegram in the name of Nie Yuntai to inquire, Yang Yuanzhao immediately agreed. He even considered whether to increase the amount. Now it seems that he paid 20 million yuan in cash on the basis of 200 million yuan. What he got was the control of a possible largest civil shipbuilding company in China. How to calculate the account is cost-effective? He agreed directly without even notifying others. The telegram even followed the bill of exchange from Northwest Bank. This equity plan completed the conversion process in less than a week. The speed was so fast that it was beyond anyone's expectations.
After signing a series of documents, Yang Yuanzhao's heart was in his stomach. He thought that he had not yet informed all the shareholders that since the war against Russia, Northwest had made many adjustments. This shipyard may be the biggest among the many adjustments, and it is time for everyone to sit down and discuss together.
