"Commander-in-Chief, the design ideas of the Harbin General Factory, the technology used, and the imported machines are basically all imported from France. In terms of technical level, it is also at the forefront in the Far East. There is no factory in China that can compare, even with
Compared with Japanese factories, they are not inferior, and even surpass them in some places, especially the foundation is very good. It can be seen that the Russians have put a lot of thought into it, and it will be very easy to expand in the future!"
"Since Mr. Kuang said so, there is nothing wrong. But I checked the Russian accounts and found that the number of locomotives repaired by the factory every year is very limited, and there have been some losses in the past few years. I am afraid that a lot of investment will be needed to rectify the factory.
"Funds"
Zhang Tinglan asked with some worry, while Kuang Jingyang smiled and shook his head: "Commander-in-Chief, I only know technology. With these equipments in the factory, I can guarantee that I can repair at least 100 locomotives and 80 passenger cars every year."
Above, 400 trucks. This estimate is similar to the production capacity originally designed by the Russians. Moreover, the Russians have introduced a lot of equipment in recent years. If you sort it out carefully, the factory's production capacity will exceed this number, and it will also produce locomotives on its own.
It’s not impossible, and it doesn’t cost much at all!”
Upon hearing Kuang Jingyang's words, Zhang Tinglan was immediately happy. Zhang Tinglan still believed in his judgment. Kuang Jingyang was also one of the first batch of young children to study in the United States. He and Kuang Rongguang were classmates, and their ancestral home was Taishan, Guangdong. They were still brothers.
When they were in the United States, Kuang Rongguang majored in geology, while Kuang Jingyang studied railway machinery, mainly building steam locomotives.
As a result, after returning to China, Kuang Jingyang sadly discovered that his skills were of no use. Although China began to have railways, and his old classmate Zhan Tianyou could also design and build railways, China's railway machinery was blank. All locomotives
They have to be imported from abroad, and repairs have to be done by foreigners.
What is even more sad and infuriating is that the management of most of China's railways is not in its own hands. The foreign powers have artificially divided these railways into sections, each with completely different standards. Under such conditions, China cannot even think of using its own railways.
There is no demand for the power to build motorcycles at the moment, and there is no prospect of them in the future.
Kuang Jingyang later simply went to the navy and became a first mate. It can be said that he was completely like a pearl in the dark. After leaving the army, he went to Hanyang Iron Works, which could produce rails after all and was a strategic hub in the Central Plains. Kuang Jingyang hoped to be able to achieve something
as.
But what followed was the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the chaos of the Republic of China. For more than ten years, not only did it not get better, but it also got worse and worse. Kuang Jingyang almost lost his confidence, and he became very depressed and could not go out.
.
Zhang Tinglan had arranged an industrial development plan at the beginning of the year. He wanted to build steel, metallurgy, coal and other industries in one go. The talent gap needed was really huge. Xia Han took the lead at that time. He specially recruited a group of people and went south together.
Kuang Rongguang also remembered his cousin, so he wrote a long letter, and Xia Han took it with him personally. He ran to Wuhan and visited him several times. At first, Kuang Jingyang had no idea of going north. He knew very well what virtues the Manchus had.
, Beiyang was born out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was not a place where we could really do anything.
Kuang Jingyang initially had some expectations for the Revolutionary Party, thinking that they could come up with some new ideas. However, as soon as Sun Wen became the interim president, he was planning to mortgage the Hanyang Iron Works to the Japanese in exchange for loans. After this incident, Kuang Jingyang was
The revolutionary party is also very cold-hearted, and they are old and unwilling to come out at all.
This old man was stubborn, but fortunately Xia Han was even more stubborn than him. He asked to see him three or four times in a row before Kuang Jingyang reluctantly agreed to meet him. Then he told him repeatedly, introducing the industrial development situation in Fengtian and introducing various policies, even to impress him.
Xia Han also revealed a bit about the origin of Fengtian Machine.
Kuang Jingyang was also stunned at once. He never imagined that there was a group of such audacious forces on the ground in China who would risk their lives in order to develop industry!
Kuang Jingyang finally made up his mind to go north to see the situation. After arriving in the three northeastern provinces, he happened to catch up with the operation to regain the Middle East Road. The Harbin General Factory in the hands of the Russians was actually in the hands of the Chinese. When he got the news, the old man couldn't believe it.
Now he walked around the factory several times and finally accepted the facts before him. He had been frustrated for many years, but now he regained his fighting spirit: "Commander-in-Chief, you mentioned the problem of the Russians.
In short, it means poor management and serious corruption. If a new management mechanism is introduced to stimulate the enthusiasm of workers, let alone repairing locomotives, with a little rectification, they can produce locomotives! As long as you give me 500,000 yuan
, I’m sure I can get things done.”
"Mr. Kuang, since you are so confident, I feel relieved. Please come up with a plan. I will arrange the manpower for the specific operations."
"What?" Kuang Jingyang raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Does the commander-in-chief think that I am old and useless? Don't look at me being idle these years. I have been keeping a close eye on this technical matter, and this
My brother Kuang Rongguang is also in good health. He is also investigating geology and training students. I can't let him compare. I promise that within two years, we will be able to produce our own motorcycle!"
Zhang Tinglan was indeed a little worried that Kuang Jingyang would not be able to withstand it, but seeing the old man's high fighting spirit, Zhang Tinglan was relieved a lot and said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Kuang, you are now the general office of the factory, and you have two main tasks to do.
"The first is to appease the workers and resume production as soon as possible, and the second is to repair all the locomotives and carriages damaged by the war, so that the railway can resume operations as soon as possible."
"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
Zhang Tinglan and Kuang Jingyang looked at the situation in the factory again. In this battle, the workers played a considerable role in helping the Feng army transport supplies and wounded people, and they also made considerable sacrifices. A total of fifty
Many workers died and many others were injured.
However, after this test, all the workers have changed completely. And just after Feng Jun took over, Zhang Tinglan asked people to draw up a new management system and determine new rewards and punishments. The more work, the more reward.
And the treatment of workers has been greatly improved.
Every worker must re-sign a labor contract to ensure their rights and interests. Seeing these real changes, all the workers were refreshed. If they originally helped Fengjun out of hatred for the Russians, it was
They wanted to repay their gratitude, but now, these workers have completely supported Fengjun wholeheartedly.
They are now in the factory. They first cleaned up all the corpses, bullet casings and other things, and then temporarily erected the damaged door. Then everyone cleaned the entire factory and sorted out their former work sheds.
, originally they were just asking for food, and they couldn't care less about how dirty and messy the factory was. But now these workers finally have a sense of belonging, and they work extremely seriously.
If it weren't for the scattered bullet holes on the walls, everyone might have thought this place was a new factory. Seeing that the workers were very motivated to work, both Zhang Tinglan and Kuang Jingyang were very satisfied.
"Mr. Kuang, in this factory, Chinese workers account for 80% and Russian technicians account for 20%. I have controlled these Russians. We lack talents and have to use them, but you must also pay more attention to these Russians.
If you don't work honestly, you must be dealt with seriously, and you can be killed if necessary. In addition, we must cultivate more talents and let our workers master more skills. In troubled times, you must not have a wife.
Such kindness!"
Kuang Jingyang nodded: "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. I know what I know and will carefully screen these Russians. In addition, I will write to some friends and students in the customs and ask them to come outside the customs as soon as possible, especially the Hanyang Iron Works.
There are a lot of workers and technicians there, and I asked them to come over, but it will probably cost a lot of money to relocate so many workers."
"I've taken care of everything. In fact, I've long been interested in going to Hanyang to find a corner, but I just don't have the connections and I can't reach there. Now that you're here, everything will be easier!"
Kuang Jingyang also showed a trace of emotion on his face, and sighed: "When Hanyang Iron Works was established, it was known as the No. 1 factory in Asia. If used properly, China's steel industry may not be able to overwhelm Japan, but now,
This factory is already half-dead, and most of the shares are owned by the Japanese, which is sad and deplorable."
Having said this, Kuang Jingyang also showed a look of sadness and indignation. He said excitedly: "It's all because of ** that the country's development is so precarious. Seeing that Fengtian cares so much about industrial development, it gave everyone a stage to display their talents. I
It is true that I am old, but the older I get, the more I have to do more things to make up for the lost time. If I can develop the Harbin General Factory and build it into the largest motorcycle factory in China and even Asia, I will die in this life.
No regrets!”
Zhang Tinglan also deeply understands Kuang Jingyang’s grief and indignation of having no way to serve the country and seeing the country decline. Industrial development does not happen overnight, especially heavy industry. It requires long-term investment, care, and care, as well as those skilled workers.
Cultivated over a long period of time, these are the foundation for the prosperity of a country.
Even in later generations, the level of industrial development has been very high, but the role of people cannot be ignored. In some factories, the probability of defective products will suddenly increase a lot. As a result, when the reason is investigated, it is that an unknown old worker has retired. He may
I have mastered an extremely simple skill and process, which is usually not noticed by everyone. As a result, no one knows how valuable it is until people leave.
Up to now, neither Beiyang nor the later Republic of China government knew how to pay attention to industry, and all the little wealth they had was ruined. In the end, we can't help but lament the tragedy of every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, but precisely because of this
It is so tragic and helpless that we must hold those incompetent leaders accountable. Half of the tragedy is caused by the enemy, and the other half is caused by ourselves. As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.
"Mr. Kuang, there is not only the Harbin General Factory along the Middle East Road, but also many factories, including two weapons maintenance factories. I plan to integrate them together to form the Harbin arsenal. The factory also seems to have a supporting cast iron workshop. You see
Can it be used?"
Kuang Jingyang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly: "I'll go check it out right away. If it can be used, we can produce the motorcycle much earlier!"
After Zhang Tinglan left the Harbin General Factory, he intensified his inspection of several other factories. The Russians had indeed put a lot of effort into the Middle East Road. They built two firearms repair factories, both of which could repair Mosin Nagan rifles and also
Produce some simple parts.
In addition, there are supporting thermal power plants that can provide sufficient electricity. With these integrated, the prototypes of a locomotive factory and an arsenal will be ready. Moreover, the Russians also built a small mechanical parts factory to support the Middle East Road.
In addition, there are dozens of mines along the way, mainly mining coal and iron, as well as limestone, gold, graphite, lead, zinc, etc.
In short, with the greed of the Russians, they want almost anything they see. But now all these things have fallen into Zhang Tinglan's hands. After taking over the Middle East Road, Zhang Tinglan tried his best to clean up these industrial and mining enterprises. The management level of the Russians is not good enough.
I dare to compliment, so the production is limited, but as long as it is in the hands of Feng Jun, the production will increase rapidly. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
