It was two days after Duan Guoxue, who had a headache, returned to the security team. The headache of being drunk made Duan Guoxue swear that he would not drink so randomly in the future. He took the hot towel handed over by Peiliang and applied it to his forehead. After the swelling and pain disappeared, Duan Guoxue picked up the documents he had been waiting for his signature these days.

"1916 is about to pass, and Europe is now in a mess. The Germans can provide less and less. Moreover, the New Year is about to be held, so I have to get a batch of supplies in advance. If I wait until the source of supplies is cut, it will be a big fun." Duan Guoxue threw down a pile of documents and rubbed his temples.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Duan Guoxue's rest.

"Please come in!" Wang Shuilin, Sun Lida, Wei Xirong even had the little old man Huang Fangye who was buried in the steel mill and couldn't come out and pushed the door open and entered.

"You guys are here, please sit down! Please sit down!" These people are now in control of important institutions such as their economy, production, and sales. Duan Guoxue came to them to discuss next year's work plan.

"General Manager, I will report on the income and expenditure of this year first, so that everyone here can have a new number." After everyone sat down, Sun Lida spoke first.

"This year, the sales revenue is more than 587,000 yuan, more than 64,000 yuan in purchase of equipment, more than 183,000 yuan in construction of two schools, dormitories, and factory warehouses, more than 150,000 yuan in purchase of land, more than 94,000 yuan in purchase of student food and daily necessities. In addition, the total expenditure of other scattered expenses is 526,000 yuan in total. Although there is still 60,000 yuan left, based on the current consumption expenses and actual income, we will close down and go bankrupt next year." Sun Lida threw a bombshell to everyone first.

“What are we mainly selling in terms of revenue?”

"The transaction income of the general manager and the Germans accounted for the majority of 500,000 yuan, and the remaining 33,000 yuan is the income from soap and essence, and the sales income of agricultural machinery and equipment of 26,000 yuan is the income from scattered income."

"Are there any infrastructure expenditures next year?"

"Although it costs a lot of money to build factories and schools this year, the money will not be so much next year. The infrastructure has basically ended, so the cost of this item next year is expected to be less than 50,000 yuan."

"School spend less per month?"

"Except for items that have been purchased or need to be purchased, now we need about 8,000 yuan in school every month. This is just the most basic consumption, such as teacher salary, student food, etc., but textbooks, experimental materials, etc. are not included. Also, this does not include the security team's food and training costs, because the general manager requires this fee to be calculated independently."

"Xirong, tell everyone the average expenses of the security team." Duan Guoxue signaled that Xirong told him to tell this little secret. After all, the people who were sitting on his group were all core figures.

"After the expansion of the security team at the end of October, the number of people currently is 87. The salary and military pay are now paid 216 yuan per month. Although the salary is a little higher, the nature and danger of the security team work are different after all. The consumption of food and daily necessities is 177 yuan per month, mainly because the security team's training volume is large and the consumption is large, so food is the best among all units. But the biggest expense is not these two items, and the biggest expense is the consumables in training, such as ammunition, practice supplies, etc. According to the average of these two months

The average amount requires expenses of 1,000 to 1,500 yuan per month. Since the security team does not have any substantive production units, it can be said to be purely consumed units. Moreover, according to the teacher's plan, it will be expanded to about 160 people in May next year." Wei Xirong's next few words were a bit resentful tone. In the past, this kid was kicked out of the security team by Duan Guoxue for one sentence that was not suitable for him. This kid has always been resentful about losing such a good game, so he has always been unhappy with the security team's gaze.

"Don't report privately..." Duan Guoxue glanced at Wei Xirong, who was not a ghost, and saw the boy shrank his head.

"Everyone, although the expenses are very large this year, most of them are one-time payments such as land purchase and factory construction. By next year, this part of the expenses will be reduced a lot. However, the consumption expenses will increase next year because students will be added. However, the steel mill has been put into production, and the cement plant can also be put into production at the end of the month. With these two pillar industries, our income will be greatly increased. In addition, the first phase of the training for technical school students has basically ended, and the first batch of 280 people can work at the beginning of the year. This not only alleviates the current shortage of technical employees, but also allows the factory to produce at full capacity. However, in terms of raw materials and sales, Uncle Lida will immediately follow up on the implementation of sales and raw material purchases, so as to achieve both production and sales. Xirong will help you in the future, so I will have to take this kid with him."

"Okay general manager."

"I don't have to worry about Professor Huang's work. But at present, all we can produce is low-hard and low-cost cheap steel such as cast iron. We also need to develop and produce high-priced steel such as high-hardness. Only by producing such high-quality steel can we produce guns and cannons with higher profits and higher added value."

"You kid want to fight a civil war?" The old man who had been silent suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Duan Guoxuewen.

"Whether to fight a civil war is another matter, but the key is that you must have the ability to protect yourself now. For such a corrupt situation in China, I only believe who has the final say. Professor Huang, how long will it take for us to produce such steel?"

"If it's just a small-scale production, it can be produced on a small scale in October. If you want to mass production, you won't think about it in two or three years."

"It's going to be that long..."

"Don't be unsatisfied. There is nothing at present, especially high-tech personnel and advanced smelting equipment. The equipment can be put into production after half a year of buying it, but there is no one in one, and the one produced by two years of training is also a defective product."

"So... how much can a small-scale production be produced?"

"About 10 tons a month."

"10 tons, although it is a little less, it is enough to make some rifles and mortars."

"Hmph!" The old man stopped talking and continued to swim with his eyes narrowed.

"Uncle Shui Lin, how are the students now?"

"The overall situation is relatively good. As I said just now, the technical class can be hired at the end of the year. Not to mention the agricultural classes recruited by Chinese studies, we have enrolled a total of 3,766 students this year. Among them, 146 are technicians such as car, pliers, and planers, 42 are chemical engineering, 466 are apprentices in steel and cement factories, and the above are students in the first phase. The second phase requires training until June next year before the training is completed, and the third phase is to the end of next year. Also, 1,046 of these more than 3,000 students are trained according to the 3-year basic education. They will not enter the technical training course until the end of the year after that, depending on the situation of each person, that is, this group of people will not start training until at least early 2019."

"Uncle Shui Lin, please help me take care of this group of people, because I need a large number of workers or soldiers who have a solid foundation to study. After the income and food problems in the middle of this year are alleviated, we will continue to supplement such students. Now we are only raising children over 14 years old. In the middle of this year, I still need to start cultivating 12-year-old 5-year basic education students. In the future, the students we start to train will get younger and younger, and the basic knowledge we teach will be more and more. After the economy allows, we will also build schools in other places, or invest in cooperation to build schools. Only in this way, after 10 or 20 years, we will have enough basic talent reserves and cultivate senior talents to study high technology."

"It's a bit too large..." Wei Xirong was shocked by Duan Guoxue's amazing training plan.

"It's not big. For our country that is already behind a lot, it's not big, but too small. If we want our Chinese nation to stand tall in the world without enslavement, we will never catch up with the great powers without enough technical talents. Therefore, education is always the first priority."
