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, No. 0 will be responsible for analyzing the company's performance and data, and giving some business suggestions to convey on your behalf.
What he does most is to open the system interface and enter the technology upgrade to see if any "ghosts" have recently developed any interesting new technology.
If so, 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, but also disadvantages.
But during this period of metal lament disaster, the most obvious thing is the improvement of creativity.
As the industry gradually picks up, 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 demands.
Or find a way to transport the goods to farther places, at least first to open up Qinggang City and the surrounding gathering areas.
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 the 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 mold.
Give up production. Employees you recruit cannot 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, adding two large households eager for supplies.
The flat beach shelter and the giant city shelter are less than 100,000 people.
Until 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 will collapse."
"But if we can build a vehicle that can transport goods to farther places, think about it, I really don't know how much money we can make back."
"And we don't need to invest all the money ourselves. Aren't the other factories in the territory also unable to sell goods recently? Let's let them jointly share the research and development pressure. When the time comes, we can produce something and everyone can use it together."
Spicy Iron Hammer is good at tempting and constantly throws temptations at the owner of the chariot factory.
If anyone in the territory knows the most about aircraft manufacturing, 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 heaven!"
"If Sunny Harbor Shelter sends those helicopters over next time, we will fly our own plane to shoot him down!"
The apocalyptic madman was shouting at the side, spitting stars flying around, and he almost wanted to say that I would be responsible for the weapons on the plane.
So irritating!
If we 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 the chemical plant has proved that if you do not open up the market and only focus on domestic demand, you will definitely embark on a road of no return.
If territorial planes, no, if alliance planes can fly to other places.
That propaganda weapon is not at your fingertips yet!
By then, Kuangren Weapons Factory will probably be able to receive as many orders as snowflakes, which would be really exciting!
only.
"You guys think building an airplane is too simple."
Midnight Plane gave a wry smile, picked up the design drawing on the table and looked through it a few times before shaking 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 manufacturing aircraft.
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 flight was that upon hearing his question, none of the bosses of the underworld factory next to me laughed better than me.
"Who said we don't have anyone to fly a plane? Just build one, and then someone will fly it."
"That won't work either. The tank factory's production lines have to wait until they return to normal to produce support vehicles."
"Fuck, 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 pay fifteen thousand?"
The midnight plane was a little stunned.
Although I have long heard that the owner of the steel factory is very wealthy 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 doesn't have much money now, but I'll cover all the weapons that will be installed on the aircraft after it's built, so you won't have to worry."
The two sang in harmony and continued to offer inducements.
And since no one understood it better than me, I took out a blank piece of paper from my chest and started reading.
"Imperial Building Materials Factory invested 5,000 copper and required: 5% of the shares and no participation in operations."
"The old iron recycling plant invests one thousand coppers and requires: 1% of the shares and sharing of information."
"The future cannery will invest 1,500 copper and require: transportation of goods at cost price."
"Xiangyun Chemical Factory, invested 2,000 copper, required: transportation of goods at cost price."
"."
"I hope the village committee will contribute 3,000 copper and ask for: Wartime signs."
Damn it?
Has the village contributed money?
If we say that 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? He just took this approach because he might not be successful?
The midnight plane was secretly speculating.
Now, before he even nods, the amount of funds raised has 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 it fails?"
"If you fail, you fail. If you lose, we all bear it together. Anyway, there will be no less food."
Spicy Iron Hammer didn't care.
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 countless thoughts in his mind.
The significance of glider manufacturing does not lie in how many items can be transported, but in broadening the almost dangerous "road" in the air and paving the way for continued development in the future.
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 that requires an investment of more than 20,000 copper coins.
"Master, based on the calculation of No. 0."
The small square swayed slightly, as if thinking.
"The success rate should be around 27.9%, which is much lower than the 61.45% of the airship!"
Somo sat down calmly and took a sip of the 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, Su Mo'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 two 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!
If you can build a sports car, who would be willing to build a tractor?
However, this is also the reason why Somo 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, and 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 lies with these investors.
The money lost 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."
I looked at my account and found that I had accumulated nearly one million copper coins without even realizing it.
Although Sumo was mentally prepared, he was also a little frightened by this number.
"What? We've given out so much money?"
According to the purchasing power exchange, the value of one million is equivalent to 100 million or more on the earth.
No. 0 said aggrieved without knowing why.
"Master, all the companies in the territory have your shares, and you also 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 we really want to recover it, the current number should at least double again."
One million times.
Or at least!
It doesn't matter if it doesn't count, 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 three months' labor output.
Calculated 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 certainly not calculated this way.
Sumo said anxiously, a little dumbfounded.
“What is the median savings of villagers now?”
"Fifteen copper coins!"
No. 0 gave the exact number, which made Somo breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, investing in aircraft research and development 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, the funds saved in the accounts are getting smaller and smaller, and there is no spare energy to develop externally.
This round of fundraising was 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 unemployment of workers.
At that time, it was difficult to save the situation!
"I was negligent. 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.
By taking some time to decide on the investment, he can at least 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 for investment."
"Are they all given to the aircraft factory?"
"right."
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 difficult points that cannot be overcome in the short term to waste time and resources.
When those basic technologies are effective, other basic industries will also be able to reap benefits and expand production.
"another half million"
"A large number of new people from the deep sea will join soon. Three hundred thousand will be used as working capital to develop the territory's infrastructure facilities."
"As for the remaining 200,000, they will be allocated to the Tianyuan Army and the Security Department."
