In fact, after several large enterprises in the territory entered healthy and normal operation, Sumo rarely visited them anymore.
As the largest shareholder.
In addition to the daily work, Zero will be responsible for analyzing the company's performance and data, and giving some business suggestions to convey on your behalf.
The most common thing he does is to open the system interface and enter the technology upgrade to see if any "ghosts" have recently developed any interesting new technology.
If there is, then allocate a sum of money from the Tianyuan Dungeon account for corresponding support, and then invest some survival points to help depending on the importance.
If not, then continue to let them grow on their own without giving any unnecessary advice.
This method has many advantages and disadvantages.
But during this period of metal sigh disaster, the most obvious thing is the improvement of creativity.
As the industry gradually picks up, the internal supply reaches an upper limit that cannot be expanded.
A question faces all factory owners.
Or they go out to open up new markets, such as recruiting a group of new people to join the territory and generate new demand.
Either find a way to transport goods further away, at least to get through Qingang City and the surrounding gathering areas first.
Take soap as an example.
With the surge in output of the chemical plant, it can now produce three hundred bars of soap every day. If it is operated around the clock, this production capacity can even be doubled to six hundred or even seven hundred bars.
But what about demand?
Counting the aborigines of Blue Star, there are now less than 13,000 people in Tianyuan Territory.
When these people first needed soap, the chemical factory was making a lot of money, and they even engaged in rush buying to collect money.
The good times did not last long, less than a month.
When everyone in the territory had a piece of soap, it immediately became a slow-selling item.
A large amount of soap production can only be piled up in the warehouse to become moldy.
Give up production. Employees you recruit can't be fired right away. You only need to sign a contract before joining.
The owner of the chemical plant almost turned his hair gray from worry.
Fortunately, the Western Suburbs Alliance suddenly appeared during this period, and there were two more large households hungry for supplies.
The flat beach shelter and the giant city shelter are less than 100,000 people.
Before the needs of these people are not met for the time being, the chemical factory will not declare bankruptcy immediately.
"There is no point in making money from our own people. In the end, it will only make the goods severely unsalable and the internal economic cycle collapses."
"But if we can build a vehicle to transport goods to farther places, I think I think, I really don’t know how much money we can make back.”
“And we don’t need to invest all of it ourselves. Haven’t the other factories in the territory been unable to sell goods recently? Let’s let them share the cost through joint ventures. The pressure is on research and development, and when things are produced, everyone can use them together.”
Spicy Iron Hammer is good at tempting, and constantly throws temptations at the boss of the tank factory.
To say who knows the most about aircraft manufacturing in the territory, it has to be the veteran aircraft repairman ‘Midnight Aircraft’.
"Yes, isn't this your dream? Let's build a big one that can really go to the sky!"
"If Sunny Harbor Shelter sends those helicopters over next time, we will drive our own Shoot down the plane for him!”
The doomsday madman was shouting at the side, spitting stars flying around, and almost wanted to say that I would be responsible for the weapons on the plane.
So irritating!
If you want to say which factory is in the worst situation right now, it must be his weapons factory that ranks first.
Not only were all the weapons produced turned into scrap metal, but the machine tools produced were also dismantled into parts.
Although it is said that a large number of orders will come in after the metal sigh disaster, the experience of chemical plants has proved that not opening up the market and focusing only on domestic demand will definitely lead to a road of no return.
If the territorial planes, no, if the alliance planes can fly to other places.
The propaganda weapon is not at hand yet!
The Kuangren Weapons Factory will probably receive as many orders as snowflakes by then, which will be so exciting!
only.
"You guys think building an airplane is too simple."
Midnight Plane gave a wry smile, picked up the design drawings on the table, looked through them a few times, and shook his head frequently.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen an aircraft that is not designed to separate the crew compartment. Are you going to stand on the ground and fly this thing remotely? What if the signal is cut off?"
Just talking about the industrial level, not to mention the Tianyuan Territory, even the Qinggang Shelter does not have a complete production line for aircraft manufacturing.
In other words, there is a level of production but no conditions for production.
In a normal aircraft, there are hundreds or thousands of parts alone, involving all aspects.
Even in modern society, if you want to build an airplane, you need to go to various factories to purchase it in order to keep the manufacturing cost down.
With the current size of the territory of 10,000 people, they want to fly out, even if it is just a castrated version of a glider.
This is not what the current production level can achieve.
However, what surprised me on the midnight plane was that upon hearing his question, no one from the factory boss next to me laughed better than me.
“Who said we don’t have anyone to fly the plane? Just build it and someone will fly it.”
“That won’t work either. The tank factory’s production line has to wait to be restored. Once normal, production will be guaranteed. "
"Why, 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 matter, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will personally contribute 15,000 copper coins on behalf of the iron smelting plant!"
"What? Can you contribute 15,000 copper coins?"
Midnight The plane was a little stunned.
Although I have long heard that the boss of the steel factory is very rich and is one of the top tycoons in the entire territory.
But this 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 has little money now, but the aircraft will be installed later. I've got the weapon ready for you, so you won't have to worry about it."
The two of them sang along and continued to offer inducements.
It was more sincere that no one understood it better than me, so I took out a piece of white paper from my chest and started reading.
"Imperial Building Materials Factory, invested 5,000 copper, required: 5% of the shares, not involved in the operation."
"Laotie Recycling Factory, invested 1,000 copper, required: 1% of the shares, Share information. "
"Future cannery, investment of 1,500 coppers, requirements: cost price for transportation of goods."
"Xiangyun Chemical Factory, investment of 2,000 coppers, requirements: cost price. Cargo transportation."
"."
"I hope that the village committee will contribute 3,000 copper and request: wartime signs."
What the hell?
Has the village contributed money?
If the previous investment by large and small companies 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 speculates.
Now, before he even nods, the funds raised have 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 I fail?" "If you fail, you fail. If you lose, we will 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 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 a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The significance of glider manufacturing does not lie in how many items can be transported, but in broadening the "road" in the air, which is almost without danger, and paving the way for future development.
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 promote 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 calculation of No. 0."
The small square shook slightly, as if thinking.
"The success rate should be around 27.9%, which is much lower than the 61.45% of the airship!"
Sumo sat down calmly and took a sip of 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, Sumo'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 one of the most important things.
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 he could build a sports car?
But this is also the reason why Sumo 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. Technical research on discursive management often leads to surprising and unexpected breakthroughs.
However, in those areas that focus on research, progress is often difficult to advance.
The choice is in the hands of these investors.
The money we are losing now is just 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!
"Invest in my name."
Looking at the account, I realized that nearly one million copper coins had been accumulated without knowing it.
Although Sumo was mentally prepared, he was also a little frightened by this number.
“What? We have already sent out so much money?”
According to the purchasing power, the value of one million is equivalent to 100 million or more on the earth.
No. 0 said aggrievedly without knowing why.
“Master, all the companies in the territory have your shares, and you took 90% of them!”
"The operating income of several other villages also includes shares in the underground city, and they are all deposited in your personal account."
"A lot of money has been invested by No. 0 according to your wishes. If you really want to recover it, , the current number should be at least doubled.”
One million times.
Or at least!
It doesn’t matter, just calculate it carefully.
Calculated based on the territory's average output of 1.8 copper coins per person per day, two million is approximately equal to the territory's labor output for three months.
Based on the current food prices in the territory, this money is enough to empty the granary several times.
A total of 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 accounts are definitely not calculated this way.
Sumo said anxiously, dumbfounded.
"What is the median savings of villagers now?"
"Fifteen copper coins!"
No. 0 gave the exact number, which made Sumo slightly relieved.
Fortunately, investing in the research and development of aircraft allowed him to discover the shortcomings of current development in time.
Logically speaking, having taken away 90% of the company's profits, he, the largest shareholder, should be responsible for opening up the market to ensure normal production.
But the reality is that the situation has been tense recently, and he has no mind or time to deal with it.
The factory has no orders, and the funds saved in the accounts are getting smaller and smaller, leaving no room for external development.
This fundraising is also a last resort decision made by a group of factory owners.
Otherwise, if we continue to develop and cannot open up a larger market, there will be batches of business closures and worker unemployment.
At that time, it was difficult to save it!
"It was my neglect that I only thought about centralized management to prevent the emergence of moths." Sumo scratched his head and wanted to return the shares, but after a second thought, he gave up the idea.
Compared with delegating power to factory owners to develop technology and scale, uncontrollable risks may arise.
He takes some time to decide on the investment, at least to ensure that the success rate of the investment will not be low.
Even if there are occasional failures, they can be saved through technological upgrades on the system panel.
“In this way, since there are one million copper coins in the account, let’s use half a million copper coins for investment.”
"Give it all to the aircraft factory?"
"Yes."
Sumo nodded slightly, not worried that these people would burn all the money.
Building an airplane does not mean producing a complete airplane directly from the production line.
Instead, we need to start with different small parts and create various complex materials to meet the needs.
Moreover, in terms of the basic technologies required to manufacture aircraft, there will not be any difficulties that cannot be overcome in the short term, which will waste time and resources.
When those basic technologies are effective, other basic industries can also benefit and expand production.
"Another five hundred thousand"
"A large number of new people from the deep sea will join soon. Three hundred thousand will be used as working capital to provide relief for work and develop territorial infrastructure facilities. "
"The remaining two hundred thousand will be allocated to the Tianyuan Army and the Security Department."
