"The potential of Oriental Machinery Factory is much greater than you think."

Fernan looked at them and said calmly: "The press is just the beginning. The goal of the East is to build a basic industrial system in China, promote the shift of the economic center of coastal cities to manufacturing, build an industrial power, and make China the world's factory."

"laugh!"

Zheng Xingqiao couldn't help but laughed.

In his opinion, Fernan's words were like a fool, which was no different from beggars getting drunk and bragging about being the emperor.

Although he was wary of the successful trial production of the East's press, it was just a rainy day.

He still looked down on this newly established Oriental Machinery Factory.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let a manager find a few people so easily and arrange to go to the factory to make trouble.

He is engaged in the business of importing and reselling machinery and equipment, and he is very clear about the industrial gap between China and the West.

Presses are indeed the top priority of basic industries, but that only makes the domestic industry develop rapidly.

The real manufacturing strength in China is completely incomparable to that in the West.

If you don’t talk about anything else, just talk about his products from Wanchang Foreign Company!

In addition to common machine tools, there are iron bed machines used in fire saws and hardware factories; various machines used in oil room fire mills; machines used in stone drilling and manufacturing foreign materials; machines used in loading and unloading goods; machines used in various agricultural applications.

In addition, foreign companies can also buy Dijieli brand electric motors, large and small horsepower electric light machines.

If you are interested, you can also order various motor locomotive heads and engine locomotive heads, various passenger and freight trucks; elevators for manned cargo; boilers, various steamers and small steamboat machines.

With so many mechanical equipment, less than one-third of the ones that can be imitated in China. Even if it can be imitated, the raw materials and processing equipment are all used for foreign goods, and the cost is sometimes higher than that of foreign goods.

With such a manufacturing level, how can you talk about competition with the West?

It is also a powerful industrial country and a world factory. It is not afraid of being heard and laughing out loud.

Xu Xingquan was afraid that Fei Nan would be angry, so he hurriedly answered: "If the Oriental Machinery Factory has talents like Mr. Fei, it will definitely be able to flourish."

Fei Nan's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard Zheng Xingqiao's sneer.

He looked at Xu Xingquan and said calmly: "Mr. Xu, do you believe it or not, Oriental Machinery Factory can make half of the equipment in the Wanchang Foreign Store machinery catalog. Within ten years, the products of Oriental Machinery Factory will exceed Wanchang Foreign Store in terms of criticism and quality."

Xu Xingquan glanced at Zheng Xingqiao and did not rush to speak.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Xu family. After so many years of hard work, he has trained his keen observation and strong psychological qualities.

He noticed Fernan's aggressive attitude and truly wanted to seek cooperation.

After judging this, he quickly changed his attitude and changed his identity from a self-deprecated blackmailer to a businessman.

Then he began to think about the authenticity of Fernan's words.

Even though he didn't understand the mechanical equipment industry very much, he could still hear the arrogance of Fernan's words.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little trust in these words.

It was as if these words were so sarcastic that he had the illusion that "the average person dared not brag such a big coquettish, and those who dared to brag such a big coquettish must be someone with some ability."

This illusion made him really start thinking about what consequences would be if Fernan said was true.

If Fernan is fully realized, China will really become an industrial power and a world-wide factory, then I am afraid that the money from the whole world will be earned by Chinese people into the country.

He has been a comprador for so many years and can see clearly that if he is doing business, foreigners are really no match for the Chinese.

They are too stern and are completely inferior to the flexibility of Chinese businessmen.

The reason why they earned a lot of money was entirely because their industrial level was far beyond that of the domestic industry, and the ships were strong and the cannons were profitable.

If the Chinese people's industry can really come from behind and no longer be coerced by foreigners' force, then Chinese businessmen alone can eat the foreigners without a few pieces of waste.

However, all this must be based on what Fernan said is true.

Could his words be true?

If it is true, why should he talk to him?

After thinking about it, he finally judged that perhaps it was because of the comprador industry itself.

Let's just count what he said is true!

Oriental Machinery Factory has really mastered all the advanced industrial technologies in the West and can produce all the mechanical equipment that the West can produce, but the most fundamental problem is still in front of us.

What about the raw materials?

Are there so much steel for Oriental Machinery Factory to produce machinery and equipment?

Hanyeping Company has been basically managed by Neon Kingdom merchants. During the European War, most of the iron sand produced by Hanyang Iron Factory was transported by Neon Kingdom.

If domestic machinery factories want to buy steel, they have to purchase it from overseas through compradors.

If Oriental Machinery Factory wants to expand rapidly and develop rapidly, there will be no constraints on raw materials.

In a moment, he guessed Fernan's true intention.

Therefore, Fernan, who used his skill in observing words and expressions, couldn't help but sigh that he was a young boss from a business family. He was all human and his brain was quick.

Unfortunately, when I met him, no matter how fast my mind was, I could only use it for him.

He came in the door with a move to the air seat, in order to create huge psychological impact and create favorable conditions for his own hypnosis.

This information was originally planned to instill into the subconscious of the two of them after hypnosis, but unexpectedly, Xu Xingquan deduced his intentions based on some information he revealed.

Xu Xingquan's guess was right, and the raw material problem was indeed the biggest problem for Oriental Machinery Factory now.

The domestic steel production is too small. The Machinery Bureau will share the share of a few arsenals and it will be cleaned up, and it will not leak to the market at all.

Almost all the raw materials of Shanghai's machinery factories are bought from foreign companies or compradors. They are earned one after another, so the cost is naturally difficult to reduce.

This is a vicious means by the Neon Kingdom to vainly destroy our country.

Five years ago, when Commander Yuan was still alive, the Minister of Neon Kingdom to China tried every means to force Beiyang to reach twenty-one unreasonable demands.

If agreed in accordance with the requirements, the Neon Kingdom will firmly control China's core rights and interests such as territorial, political, military and financial affairs in the hands of the Neon Kingdom.

Later, under the coercion and temptation of the Neon Kingdom, Commander Yuan had to sign the unequal "Four Treaties of ***", which allowed the Neon Kingdom's power to be consolidated and expanded in Manchuria and Mongolia, Shandong, and also increased in Central and South China.

Among the terms of the treaty, there is a special agreement regarding Hanyeping Company.

Since the signing of the treaty, all the loans generated by Beiyang from the Neon Kingdom were guaranteed by factory and mine property and iron sand, with a period of 30 years.

Except for the self-used iron sand in Hanyang Iron Factory, the iron sand produced must be sold to Neon people first.

Although the selling price was agreed upon by both parties, it was actually purchased at a cost price in Neon Country.
