The annual output of more than 10 million kilograms of pig iron, which is 5,000 tons of pig iron. In Yan Liqiang's previous life, this amount may be the daily output of a small steel mill in a local area. However, in this world, in the Han Empire, it is already a large iron ore production scale. In the entire Ganzhou and even the entire Han Empire, the Kangshan iron ore given by the Zhong family is a large iron ore of considerable scale. If a iron ore is used for production costs, the annual profit of such an iron ore is estimated to be more than 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver.

The Manufacturing Bureau and the blacksmith workshops at home are both large consumers of pig iron and iron ore. Especially after the invention of the water and lighter, Yan Liqiang had long wanted to acquire a suitable iron ore to make up for the industrial chain layout of the Manufacturing Bureau and prepare for the future troubled times. This iron ore is an indispensable raw material for the production of machinery and sword weapons. However, there are only a few scattered small iron ore in Pingxi County, and there are no iron ore of scale at all. Yan Liqiang looked down on it a little, so he could only temporarily suppress his own idea. Unexpectedly, the Zhong family was so generous this time, and the things they sent were delivered to Yan Liqiang's heart at once. It seems that the Zhong family has indeed put some effort into studying what they give him to bring closer to their relationship.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhong, you're polite. To be honest, this Kangshan iron ore is indeed of great use to me. My manufacturing bureau and the industry at home are inseparable from iron ore pig iron. I have long wanted to buy one or two large mines. Since this is the Zhong family's wishes, I'm disrespectful!" Yan Liqiang laughed loudly, and when he reached out, he took the box that Zhong Hongzhang put on the coffee table and pulled it in front of him without any hesitation.

Zhong Hongzhang still smiled, "There are thousands of workers and craftsmen in Kangshan Iron Mine, and they are still in production. Everything has not changed. Just send someone to take over. The manager and shopkeeper of the Zhong family at Kangshan Iron Mine will cooperate with the handover. After the handover, all personnel can be arranged by the handover!"

"There is no need to hand over!" Yan Li smiled strongly, "Since the Zhong family's people have managed this iron ore smoothly, I don't need to disturb it anymore. The arrangements of the managers and managers of the iron ore are as usual. Although Mr. Zhong gave me this iron ore, I only have 60% of the iron ore shares and the remaining 40% of the iron ore. Even if the Zhong family uses the current manpower and management of the iron ore, this iron ore is considered to be jointly operated with the Zhong family. In the future, the iron ore consumption in Pingxi County may be very large. As long as the Kangshan Iron Mine is given priority to meet the supply in Pingxi County, the iron ore is responsible for its own profit and loss, so the price of iron ore such as pig iron supplied to Pingxi County is also at the market price, and there is no need to make special discounts!"

Yan Liqiang's words made the three people of the Zhong family look at him again. The Zhong family's actions were indeed generous, but Yan Liqiang was not vague. As soon as he opened his mouth, he returned 40% of the Zhong family's iron ore income. At the same time, he did not move half of the person on the iron ore and still handed over to the Zhong family to manage, showing his trust in the Zhong family, which made Zhong Hongzhang feel very helpful and secretly praised Yan Liqiang for his agingness.

For Yan Liqiang, although the iron ore is important, it is not his top priority now. Since the ownership of the iron ore has been obtained, it is the same for everyone to manage it. He does not need to take care of everything in detail and hold it in his hands. If there is no problem with the iron ore, everything will be the same. If there is really a problem, Kangcheng County is next to Pingxi County. He will be able to kill the Kangshan Iron Mine in two days without his men. Who can make waves? The iron ore is placed there. No one can move the mine away. Why should he worry?

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Mr. Yan was also a cheerful person..." Zhong Hongzhang laughed in a good mood. Even for the Zhong family, in order to get closer to Yan Liqiang, it was a bit painful to smash a Kangshan iron ore. When discussing at home, several elders in the family were reluctant to let go. In the end, the main force of the Zhong family disagreed with the public and took out the Kangshan iron ore. Now Yan Liqiang regards Kangshan iron ore as a joint venture with the Zhong family. The interests of the Zhong family in Kangshan iron ore can be guaranteed, which is the best result beyond the expectations of everyone in the Zhong family.

With the opening of the iron ore, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became lively and enthusiastic, just like the people at the table after the warm-up began to toast each other.

"I am actually very simple. I rarely interfere in the specific details of business. For me, I only look at people. As long as people are right, everything is right. If people are not right, then it will be useless for you to worry about it. All the problems in this world are all human problems!"

"This is even a famous saying. My brother often says at home that if you want to do things, you must first learn to be a human being and be a good person in order to do things!"

"Haha, if there is a world in the future, I would like to go to Lanzhou to visit Zhong Dajia in person, ask Zhong Dajia in person for advice and listen to the advice!"

"The Zhong family is always welcome. If Young Master Yan comes, the Zhong family is full of glory!" Zhong Hongzhang smiled, "By the way, Young Master Yan, if there is anything in the iron ore in the future, Young Master Yan only needs to find my niece Ruolan. Our Zhong family will open a business in Pingxi City this year and invest in some business. Ruolan will stay in Pingxi City in the future and be responsible for the various industries of our Zhong family in Pingxi County. If we cooperate with the Zhong family's business, Ruolan can make the decision..."

"Miss Ruolan is a man who can stand alone in Pingxi County. I admire him, admire him!" Yan Liqiang said to the picturesque Zhong Ruolan.

Zhong Ruolan's eyes fluttered and she smiled softly, "Ruolan is a woman who is not familiar with Pingxi County. She will have many places to rely on Mr. Yan to ask Mr. Yan in the future. Then please don't refuse!"

"If Miss Ruolan encounters any place that needs help, she will come to me, and as long as I can, I will never refuse!" Yan Liqiang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile. "Did you go to Yan'anbao today? Have you ever been around the town?"

"Of course, we took a walk around Yan'anbao today, which was a great eye-opener. With the Yan'anbao pattern, I don't think it will take much time to be more prosperous than Qinghe County!" Zhong Ruolan took the conversation with a smile, her beautiful eyes flashing brightly, "But I also saw many wool-pulling cars in the town. I heard that Mr. Yan is buying useless wool everywhere now, which is really puzzling!"

Yan Liqiang made a quick decision and decided to pull the Zhong family over first and tie it to the wool chariot. He smiled and looked at the three of the Zhong family, "It is of course useful for me to buy wool. There is a big business in front of me. I don't know if the Zhong family wants to try it..."

Zhong Hongzhang's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "I guess the business that can make Mr. Yan say is really big, but I don't know how big it is?"

"This business is comparable to salt. If you really want to do it, you can earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, it's no problem!" Yan Liqiang said lightly.

A business that makes tens of millions of taels of silver a year? Even though Zhong Hongzhang is the second leader of the Zhong family, he was shocked by Yan Liqiang's words. You should know that although the Zhong family is now known as the number one family in the northwest, the total of all the Zhong family's family businesses may be just more than 20 million taels of silver. What kind of business can make half the Zhong family a year?
