Chapter 44: Chinese Machinery Manufacturing Factory

On February 9, Feng Ru was "invited" to Hangzhou. The way was very special. Feng Ru's face was very strange and he couldn't say he felt it because the Nanjing government was gone.

Now the world belongs to Yuan Shikai, of course, the three provinces in East China belong to the temporary government of East China.

However, some southern provinces are still controlled by the revolutionary party. Jiangsu, Anhui and Guangdong are the territory of the revolutionary party. They can still stay in Guangdong and they can still contribute to the revolution.

Unfortunately, he was kidnapped.

The incident happened on the Lantern Festival. A group of people entered his home and forced him into a large box without saying a word. When he was released, he was already on a cargo ship.

However, Feng Ru met another person on this large cargo ship, that is Anthony Folk. Obviously, the cargo ship had just returned from Germany.

After the two found out that the other party was an aircraft designer, Anthony Folk and Feng Ru excitedly talked about the plane on the ship, and kept talking about Hangzhou.

Feng Ru and Folk are both mechanics and are keen on the flight industry, so they have a common topic and soon became good friends. Folk was deeply surprised by Feng Ru's kidnapped, but patted Feng Ru's shoulder to comfort him.

"What's wrong with serving East China's autonomous politics? Didn't you say that they are also China's revolutionary forces? And I saw in the newspaper that countries have recognized the status of East China's autonomous politics." Folk said to Feng Ru.

"Yes, but..." Feng Ru hesitated, and Folk interrupted him and said, "The only one in China can build engines and is willing to invest in a lot of money."

"Yeah!" Feng Ru nodded, and with complex emotions, Feng Ru came to the dock.

After a while, a car was immediately seen driving over, followed by a group of soldiers wearing Baath Party SS uniforms.

Xia Jun walked out of the car and stepped forward to welcome Folk and Feng Ru's arrival.

During the warm handshake, Xia Jun said to Feng Ru: "Brother Feng is really hard to invite! But I told you below that Brother Feng is the most capable mechanic in China and is also my pioneer in flying in China. We will invite him no matter what. If there is any negligence, I hope Brother Feng will forgive me!"

"The Chairman is serious." Feng Ru responded unnaturally. Looking at the very young chairman in front of him, he felt helpless, but he couldn't even be angry.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's get in the car first. I'll take you to a place." Xia Jun said to Feng Ru and Folk. The translator immediately translated for Folk, and Folk nodded with a smile.

The three of them got into the car, and Xia Jun asked to wait for an opportunity to go to the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant.

Feng Ru heard that he was going to an internal combustion engine manufacturing plant and couldn't help but improve his spirit. Xia Jun talked to Feng Ru about mechanical matters instead of aircraft.

Xia Jun felt that Feng Rushi's mechanical talents were obviously used to build aircraft. Compared with takeoff planes, Xia Jun paid more attention to machinery.

The machinery manufacturing industry in the three autonomous provinces of East China is still very large, and it can only make some simple machinery. Most of the machinery is either purchased in Europe and the United States or from redemption platforms.

Feng Ru was studying machine manufacturing in New York before. He studied very hard. In order to discuss a problem, he often studied it until late at night.

Despite his urgent life, in order to learn more about the development of Western science and technology, he often bought newspapers, books and magazines for the saved food and accommodation expenses.

In order to pay tuition, Feng Ru also had to use his spare time to work. Despite this, Feng Ru's academic performance is still among the best in the class.

Seeing that Feng Ru studied so hard and outstandingly performed, the school decided to waive his tuition. Five years later, Feng Guoran had extensive knowledge of mechanical manufacturing, he was well versed in 36 types of machines, and invented and manufactured water machines and pile drivers. The radio transceiver he designed and manufactured was very popular among users because it was good.

At this time, Feng Ru was already a famous mechanical manufacturer in the United States. Such a mechanic who is good at 36 kinds of machinery is indeed a big material for making machine tools.

If Feng Ru built airplanes, it was obvious that he became a monk halfway.

Before, Feng Ru wanted to build a warship and send it back to China to strengthen national defense. This idea really made people feel crazy. Later, he found that the plane was more useful and cheap, so he went to build the plane, which was also the plane that made him die.

"Building an airplane is like making an egg, but building a machine is making a ji. With this ji, you can lay a lot of eggs. That's the reason!" Xia Jun and Feng Ru said.

"What the Chairman said is good." Feng Ru nodded in agreement, and Xia Jun continued, "So! Brother Feng, don't just build airplanes. Just be a hobby. I plan to set up a machinery manufacturing factory so that China can build advanced equipment so that China can be strong, protect the interests of 40 million compatriots and overseas Chinese, and let us Chinese go abroad and be proud, and no one dares to bully us."

Xia Jun's words immediately resonated with Feng Ru. For a Chinese living overseas, what they most hope is to have a strong motherland to protect them.

"If the chairman has mature ideas, I would rather give it a try."

Speaking of machinery, Feng Ru was absolutely confident. Xia Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He asked Feng Ru to build a plane for great materials.

Moreover, Feng Ru is not a very professional aircraft designer. Xia Jun does not have much confidence in whether Feng Ru can make achievements on the plane. What he values ​​is Feng Ru's mechanical talent.

In addition, Feng Ru seems to be able to build design warships! He is such a talent! It would be strange if he doesn't tie him up.

Soon we arrived at the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant. Feng Ru and Folk entered the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant and were dazzled. This internal combustion engine manufacturing plant is definitely the most advanced on the earth. Then Xia Jun took them to visit the 450-horsepower diesel engine built more than half a month ago.

After watching the internal combustion engine manufacturer, Folk no longer had any doubts about the strength of East China Autonomous Government. This is indeed a place that can provide him with the best stage.

After seeing the internal combustion engine manufacturer, Feng Ru also changed her mind.

As Xia Jun said, building aircraft is for large materials, and building machines is the right way. When building aircraft, there is obviously no difficulty in the East China Autonomous Government, because not only can you make internal combustion engines themselves, but also invited Folk to serve as a designer.

Folk has already built the fastest and most sturdy monoplane in the world. Although the aircraft built by Feng Ru has successfully tested, it is obviously not as good as the aircraft built by Folk.

As the saying goes, you can see the whole leopard. Only when the environment of the East China Autonomous Political Department is truly suitable for its development, so Feng Ru quickly decided to stay in the three East China Autonomous Provinces to manufacture machinery.

What's more, if he stays here, he can get a high salary of 2,000 yuan a month.

...

Two days later, the East China Airlines Manufacturing Company and the East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory were established in Hangzhou. Journalists from major newspapers sent reporters to report, and even a group of foreign journalists came.

Because on the day of its establishment, Xia Jun personally went to the scene to cut the ribbon. Not only were the people in the autonomous provinces interested in this scary young chairman, but even countries around the world were curious about this unremarkable young chairman.

How did a twenty-two-year-old young man become the head of a political corporal ruler of three provinces?

East China Airlines Manufacturing Company is headed by Folk as the chief designer, Feng Ru is responsible for the production link of East China Aerospace Manufacturing Company and serves as the chief engineer. At the same time, Feng Ru is also headed by the chief engineer of East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory.

When Xia Jun cut the ribbon, the newspapers kept taking photos with their cameras. After the ribbon was cut, the reporters surrounded him. One of the reporters asked: "Chairman Xia, I am a reporter from the News News. What machinery will be mainly used for the East China Machinery Manufacturing Company after it is opened?"

Newspaper is an industrial and commercial newspaper with a large number of readers, and pays special attention to commercial reports.

Xia Jun replied with a smile: "We must build all machines that foreigners can build."

"What efforts will the East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory take to develop the machinery manufacturing industry? For example, how big will it be?" the reporter asked.

"This is a machinery manufacturing factory we have invested 150 million yuan to build. The scale is imaginable." Xia Jun replied with his mouth full of words.

After Xia Jun finished answering, he was shocked. This was actually a factory that was built with an investment of 150 million yuan.

Xia Jun really can't take out 150 million yuan.

However, Xia Jun spent 100 million points to purchase the equipment of the machinery manufacturing factory, and all of them were the most advanced equipment, so that Xia Jun only had 20 million points left.

Can Paopu trains increase their value! Then, take the machinery manufacturing factory as mortgage loans and get more loans. The current situation in China has stabilized on the surface, so it is time to borrow large-scale outbound loans.

Xia Jun's words shocked the people present, and he continued: "In the future, our East China Autonomous Government can produce many machinery by itself, and the quality is definitely not lower than that of foreigners."

It is still uncertain what machinery this machinery manufacturer can build, but machine tools are all available, all from the 1920s. However, these machines alone cost Xia Jun 100 million points.

This is not just building a machine tool by yourself, but buying a machine tool, which is so expensive. If you build a machine tool by yourself, even a machine tool of this level in 1912 would have to start with 1 billion points.

With these advanced machine tools, as long as there are excellent mechanical manufacturers and machine drawings and technicians, there is no problem in making them.

Therefore, in the future, Xia Jun can give the drawings to the machinery manufacturer when ordering equipment, and produce them at home, and there is no need to go abroad to invite foreigners to produce them.

However, the technician is still a problem, and Xia Jun must train the technician himself.

Technical technicians are currently very lacking in China. The Ministry of Education has opened technical schools in various places and trained various technical jobs in accordance with Xia Jun's instructions.

All those who go to technical schools for further study are free, and some jobs that are encouraged also have subsidies.

Feng Ru was the subject of the technician problem. He was a professional. Feng Ru's arrival solved a hidden concern that Xia Jun had always been unable to make machinery by himself.

Feng Ru was shocked by the various machine tools needed for mechanical manufacturing that were about to arrive. These brand new equipment were all very advanced, even more advanced than those used by foreigners.
