Five hundred and eleven chapters Pampa (thirty-six)
Hening Port was originally a quiet Spanish town called Rosario. There were only a few hundred white residents. It was a colonial town developed after the founding of the East Coast people. It was mainly based on grain planting and leather processing industries, and exported some wool to the East Coast in exchange for income.
After taking over the place, the East Coast people took over the good natural conditions and superior geographical location, and began to invest a lot of money to build. The first batch of Hening Port was the local port. The East Coast people demolished the temporary wharf built by the Spanish and seized a lot of land around them. Because the land along the river was dominated by the river, the East Coast people had to spend money to redeem. Fortunately, the Spanish were more aware of it, and the East Coast government did not spend much to build a modern Yonggu wharf.
The newly renovated Hening Port Wharf has been continuously dredged and treated by dredgers. It can now dock sea ships below 2,000 tons, and has opened routes to many cities in China. The radiation range of products has been greatly enhanced. Well, it seems that this city does not have much product yet.
But don't worry, in the planning of the Government Council, Hening Port is also positioned as the seventh category of city, namely other manufacturing cities, and focuses on the development of the sub-sectors of machining and transportation equipment manufacturing. Compared with Hening Port, its other three "sister cities" also have their own emphasis. Among them, Xinbian Port is defined as other manufacturing cities, focusing on the development of food processing industries. Xincao Port is the sixth category of city (mining and heavy industry cities), mainly developing chemical industries, and Mingfu Port is defined as the fifth category of city (textile industry cities), mainly focusing on the cotton textile industry.
This series of four cities lined up along the right bank of the Bian River to produce many products including grain, meat, wine, leather, chemicals, mechanical parts, cloth and clothing, and formed a relatively complete industrial chain. Although the headquarters or assembly departments of many enterprises are located in Shanghai County, the intermediate production departments are scattered in these counties, and have also created a large number of jobs with wages above the level, and the taxes paid to local governments will not be in a small number.
At present, there are about 6,000 immigrants who have settled here in Hening Port, and a prototype has been built in the urban area, and various construction work is proceeding in an orderly manner. It is worth mentioning that although most of the population of Hening Port is currently engaged in agricultural production, the proportion of workers and scholars is increasing rapidly. The main reason is that the Ministry of Railways has established its second Dahe Vehicle Factory, a company that produces transportation equipment.
The Dahe Vehicle Factory was built by the Southern Vehicle Factory located in Meilin County. In order to complete the tasks of the Ministry of Railways, the factory transferred many technicians and equipment from the factory and settled in Hening. Then the Dahe Vehicle Factory rack was set up.
However, although the Southern Vehicle Factory is a state-owned enterprise and is logically obeying the orders of the superiors, they also have their own interests. After arguing with the Ministry of Railways, this huge factory did not hand over the production business of the railway locomotives, but only stripped the heavy freight carriage business and handed over to the Dahe Vehicle Factory for production.
To be honest, there are many companies that are now run by private investors. The models of carriages are also varied. Although the quality is not as good as that of the old state-owned factories, it is still acceptable. The price is low enough and the sales are still very good. In other words, after the diffusion of heavy-duty carriage technology, this industry is now a fully competitive free market industry. Southern Vehicle Factory has no sincerity in handing over this business, because they themselves have begun to think that heavy-duty carriages are tasteless and a pity to abandon.
However, for the new Dahe Vehicle Factory, any business is valuable. Although heavy-duty freight carriages are already highly market-oriented products and their profits are not as good as before, they are still very important to them. For this reason, they will invest huge energy in research to support the company's early development.
Another good news is that Dahe Vehicle Factory has obtained a patent authorization from the Engineering and Technology Research Institute to enter the urban street car market. There is no doubt that this is a huge cake, because many cities are now planning to upgrade street car companies' horse-drawn rail cars and switch to light rail commuter trains driven by steamed car heads to meet the needs of urban residents to commute to and from get off work.
The leadership of Dahe Vehicle Factory has realized this. They sent people to inspect street car companies in more than 20 counties across the country and held discussions with the management of street car companies, and learned about the many limitations of horse-drawn track cars, such as feces pollution, slow speed, inefficient transportation, etc. Therefore, they were eager to upgrade and transform the system, especially in counties with relatively good fiscal revenue.
Dahe Vehicle Factory has basically decided to rely on the production and sales of heavy-duty freight carriages to maintain profits, and then invest the earned money into the research and development of street cars in small cities, striving to open a path in this market and allow the company to achieve greater development.
Of course, Dahe Vehicle Factory also competed for some train parts production business from the Ministry of Railways. Although they are all production of ordinary parts with low profits, they are quite good. The Southern Vehicle Factory is not willing to give up these things.
In short, under the key concern of the Ministry of Railways, the growth of Dahe Vehicle Factory has been unstoppable, and this is actually in line with the central industrial layout plan. The two industrial production systems, one south and one north, are led by leading enterprises to compete with each other. From a social perspective, this is actually very reasonable, and monopoly is not a good thing.
Today, the North Korean East Expedition Park Se-tang and his group visited Hening Port. The factory's train parts production workshop was actually the factory's train parts production workshop. The workshop ordered a large number of equipment from companies such as Heishan Industrial Company, East Coast Precision Instrument Company, Haicheng Instrument Factory, Tieling Heavy Industry Consortium and other companies, and began to process various parts needed on the railway, and then either sold it to the Southern Vehicle Factory to assemble the train, or sold it to two major railway companies to repair the trains, and even some were exported to the Far East, and the business was developing quite well.
Park Se-tang and others walked from beginning to end in the workshop, and walked around and around, sometimes even ignored the staff's dissuasion and touched the machine tools full of industrial beauty. They turned a deaf ear to the noise filled the workshop, and there were only parts with metallic luster between their eyes, as if they had reached a new world.
If Zhao Chuyan visited the East Coast last time and paid more attention to the customs and customs of the East Coast society, then the Park Se-Tang mission would have to go deeper. They have basically touched the ultimate source of the strong national strength of the East Coast, which has superb industrial manufacturing capabilities.
They recalled that North Korea was not dominated by the East Coast people. It was not shameful to be dominated by the Tianzu Kingdom. At that time, it took a lot of effort to buy all weapons for the soldiers of the Imperial Camp Hall. The national finance even had to prepare for it for several years. But now? The iron production has soared dozens of times, and the cost of building a handy knife has dropped to one-tenth of the previous one. They were once proud and excited about it, but now they look at the craftsmen of Tianzu Kingdom efficiently cut, polish the iron material, and process it into various shapes with the help of steam machine tools. I don’t know how many times more efficient than the North Korean craftsmen!
Last year, North Korea introduced a production line for light freight carriages, but the core components such as shock absorbing springs are still unmade and can only buy them from the east coast. Why? They lack the most basic materials, heat treatment and machining capabilities, so they can only buy parts to assemble them in the end. The gap in technology is more than ten thousand miles!
Fortunately, today the motherland has gradually relaxed the export restrictions on some steam engines and low-end machine tools. If North Korea continues to follow the footsteps of Tianmaguo in its major policies and performs well, it should be possible to transfer some technology in the future? This is crucial for the development of the Kingdom of Korea! Well, it may also be necessary to transfer some of the shares of some companies to Tianmaguo merchants, but so what? Improving its own technical level is the most important!
Of course, Park Se-tang thinks this way, but it does not mean that both the monarch and ministers of the North Korean kings think so. In fact, even though they have been dominated by the East Bank for decades, the upper class in North Korea still has a bad view of the East Bank people. Many conservatives have a negative attitude towards the East Bank, but many of these people are still in high positions, making the modernization reform of the North Korean Kingdom extremely difficult.
Fortunately, one day the motherland supervised, and even if the conservatives were in power in the court, they could not reverse history. Busan County, which was rented on the east coast, gathered a large number of sympathetic elements of reform. They actually have no say in politics and public opinion. In addition, the eastern Gangwon Domain ruled the Quan family, which was divided into three counties, and if the rulers of Hanyang City were against the will of the country, then the motherland might have to exert influence on themselves and force them to reform from both political and military aspects, so that everyone's face would be unfavorable.
Although Park Se-tang is a North Korean, he still supports Tian’s motherland to put greater pressure on the royal family on the issue of reform. Although this will make him difficult in the court, so what? With the level of social and economic activity, more and more people sympathize with the reformists, and the conservatives will only lose their power. Sooner or later, they will clear out all the old and stubborn people who are not aware of the current affairs and clear them out of the court.
Of course, in this process, relying on Yu Tian’s motherland to gain benefits for the family is tacit. Look at the iron smelting and coal mining industries in Ping'an, Huanghai and other roads in the north, the speed of profits being made by these industries is unimaginable to the old-fashioned figures who live by traditional rents. With money, there is naturally a right to speak! Under the suppression of Tian’s motherland, do those diehards dare to use force? They dare not use him with a hundred courage! The future of North Korea is ultimately in their hands!
