"Now that the stocks have risen so strongly, some small shareholders have already sold their stocks. It is a pity that the stock prices continue to rise." Zhao Guo, Handan, in the House of Lords, two middle-aged aristocratic members are discussing selling and buying The issue of entering stocks.

"I heard that part of the shares in Handan Iron Factory has been sold. It seems that a large sum of funds has been obtained. This funds seems to be used to purchase some equipment and some technical patents. The scale of steel seems to continue to expand. Maybe." said a middle-aged man with a long beard.

"Really? They are used to introduce technology, we are used to make money. I think the stock market is going to rise, you see, this Korean won the battle, they can make a lot of demands, that is Without asking for it, can Bangladesh withstand the crazy blow of the Central Plains countries? No." Another nobleman said.

"As long as the Koreans continue to build ships and continue to win battles, they will need a lot of iron, and the stock will continue to rise, let alone. It is not only South Korea, but also Chu. Reading the newspaper said that Chu Wuyue Shipyard itself They can also build ships. They need iron even more. The more iron the better, Handan Iron Works, I think, will be renamed soon.” Another nobleman continued.

"What's your name?" the long-bearded nobleman asked worriedly.

"Handan Steel." Another nobleman said unpredictably.

"This is still from the prime minister's house. Think about it. This time the stock market has made so much money and has mastered steel technology. Under such circumstances, can we not need to change our name?" Another aristocratic congressman said To. Mr. Long Beard nodded in agreement.

In the mansion of Prime Minister Li Mu.

"The situation is much better than we expected. Fortunately, during the downturn, we bought and sold the stocks in our hands because of huge losses. Your approach was also correct." Li Mu told the Minister of Finance and several factory directors present. To. These factory directors are all the directors of several factories controlled by the Zhao State government. When the Zhao State stock market fell sharply, they did not sell their own stocks, but took another extreme approach and bought a large number of them. stock. As a result, the number of their stocks increased a lot, and the final facts proved that they did the right thing. Although the pressure was very high at the time, they did so. It will also sell part of the stock today in exchange for a large amount of capital, laying the foundation.

"The Prime Minister, at present we have sufficient funds to introduce a large number of technical patents and talents from Qin State. Only in this way can our Zhao State's industry rise further. After all, we have sufficient funds." Said excitedly. He is eager to introduce all kinds of machinery to process parts, in that case. Their profits will be very large.

"Yeah. Tell me about it. Let me listen to your thoughts. In this regard, I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, I don't understand, and I mainly rely on your thoughts to make judgments." Li Mu waved to the other party to sit first for the time being. Come down.

"The prime minister, currently what we produce in the country of Zhao is mainly railroad tracks, iron beams, and various iron products, such as iron pots, and some iron wires, etc. We can easily produce these things, but It’s not worth much. If it weren’t for the low price of our coal, our cost would be very high, and our cost would not be able to make it back.” The plant manager stood up and said. Li Mu nodded.

Zhao State occupies the main coal-producing areas in the northern mountainous areas, where there are a large amount of high-quality raw coal. These raw coals are the main driving force for the development of Zhao State's industry. It is undeniable that without these raw coal, Zhao State is unlikely to develop its own industry.

"Go on." Li Mu said.

"These things are relatively low in value and we can't make much money. However, through some observations from the shipyard and some orders, we found that we can produce other things, such as gears, or gears, gears. Box-like things, if we can process such things, I think we can make more money. There is also bearing, which is needed on carriages. The transportation demand of carriages is also very large. If we can produce With such a thing, it is very easy for us to solve our problem of less money." said the machinery factory.

"The director said well, Prime Minister, the same is true of our second military factory. Artillery requires not only drilling, but also steel to make artillery, which will further reduce the production cost of artillery. In addition, we can provide Some pipes, or in other words. Our second military factory can expand a specialized production plant to produce pipes. Now the demand for pipes is also very large, not only for carriages, but also for bicycles, airships, and building materials. It is needed in other fields, as long as it is further processed, it will be more profitable than selling iron ingots at the Handan Iron Plant." The second military plant director stood up and said.

"Yeah." Li Mu just kept recording and didn't speak.

"It seems that your funding problems have been resolved?" The Minister of Finance said with a smile.

"Mr. Minister said that our problems have been solved very well. And after this time the stock rose, we sold some of the shares. These shares solved a lot of financial problems for us. Originally, it was impossible for us to do These matters are mainly technical matters, but now that we have funds, we can solve these technical and equipment matters. Many projects can be launched. As long as the equipment and personnel are available, we can start construction immediately." The director of the machinery factory said excitedly.

"Have your personnel problems been resolved?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"Well. The staff is easy to solve. We can import from Qin, and Qin can also contact us. They agreed to transfer technology patents, but the remuneration is high, but these are no problems. We have the funds, and we can not only start work. , You can also build more factory buildings." said the director of the machinery factory.

"Well. The technical problem is solved, it's good." Li Mu just said. Then he didn’t speak any more, he kept recording some problems himself, and let these problems give a good feedback about his future policy direction. Judging from the situation of the various factory directors, their situation is still very good, at least it is Very optimistic. positive. This is conducive to the sound development of the Zhaoguo factory.
