Chapter 813 The Spring of Industrialists (Second Update, please subscribe)
As usual, when the whistle sounded to start work, Taichang Shipyard was in full swing again. Amidst the whistle and shouts of the foreman, when the workers were busy in the dock, they were in the office in the distance. In the factory east office on the second floor, thick smoke filled the air.

Although the smoke from the cigarette was a bit choking, Wang Pengju still took out two cigars from the exquisite wooden cigarette case and handed them to manager Qin Shaohua and accountant Li Li respectively.

"This cigar was given to me by Lieutenant Colonel Fang Dezhi of the Navy. At the beginning of the year, he visited our factory. He said that with our factory's technology, there must be no problem in building warships!"

"There is no problem with the technology, but it doesn't work on the equipment!"

Qin Shaohua said directly.

"Our equipment is all equipment for building merchant ships. Our dock is only 30 meters away, and the lifting capacity of the crane on the outfitting dock is only 50 tons. If you want to build a warship, you need at least a [-]-ton crane. Add more equipment, otherwise it would be impossible to build a warship. Moreover, the Navy has higher requirements for the construction period..."

As the factory manager, Qin Shaohua is responsible for the specific management of the shipyard, so he naturally knows where the shipyard's disadvantages lie.

After he raised the many shortcomings of the factory one by one, Wang Pengju said directly.

"These are just minor problems!"

Waving his hand, Wang Peng held the document and said.

"Manager Qin, didn't you say that with this incentive, we can directly obtain loans from the bank to expand the factory. We can use the loans to expand the factory if we need it. Anyway, it's either an interest-free loan or a low-interest loan. "

What he held in his hand was the "Shipbuilding Encouragement Measures" just formulated by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. In addition to giving a subsidy of 10 yuan per ton to domestic ships, the measures also encourage shipyards.

"Every time a new dock over 150 meters is built and corresponding equipment is added, the government will provide a 50% interest-free loan. For docks over 200 meters..."

Once again, Wang Pengju began to calculate there.

"A 50% interest-free loan is almost equivalent to using government money to set up a shipyard. As long as the bill is guaranteed, this business can definitely be done!"

"But the premise is that there must be enough orders. Our factory has no surplus orders right now!"

"If there is no spare, think of a way!"

Wang Pengju looked at Qin Shaohua and said.

"I went back to talk to Manager Fang of Dadong Shipping. They have bought large ships in the past two years. I'll see if I can receive orders for two ships, and the Immigration Department. They also have orders for immigration ships. In a word, we just want to seize the present opportunity and make Taichang stronger as soon as possible!"

After deciding on the development strategy of the shipyard, he discussed with Manager Qin and the others for a while. After they left the office, Wang Pengju stood up from his desk, walked across the room, walked to the flower window on the south wall, and stared at Looking at the shipyard downstairs and the workers wriggling around the ship in the dock.

This shipyard has been his painstaking effort for thirteen years!

Thirteen years!
He has been in Daming for thirteen years!
Almost twenty years ago, Wang Pengju never imagined that one day he would be able to live the life he is now. At that time, he was just a school boy of the Wang family. Although he was deeply trusted by the young master, that was it.

When the long-haired soldiers entered Nanjing that year, the master and young master loaded a boat full of gold and silver and wanted to escape from Nanjing. Five or six boats fled in all directions. Although Wang Pengju was desperately rowing the boat to escape down the river, the young master and the boatman were shot to death one after another, and they finally rowed the boat into the reed marshes by the river and died. .

But apart from the young mistress who just passed the door and the young mistress' personal maid, there was no living person on board.In troubled times, people's fate will always change inadvertently.Wang Pengju protected the young mistress and the others, and fled all the way to Suzhou, and then fled to Shanghai.

Later, the young mistress became his wife. After all, in troubled times, weak women always have someone to rely on.Relying on the gold and silver left on the ship, Wang Pengju set up Taichang Commercial Bank in Shanghai and started business. Later, the business of Taichangji Commercial Bank was booming, and he made a lot of money in various aspects. The young grandmother and Xiaoping both gave birth to him. .

But in troubled times, no one knows what will happen to them.Just when Wang Pengju thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, his dream was almost shattered. It wasn't Chang Mao who came to Shanghai, but the second young master of the Wang family who came to his door. The second young master was still alive, and even brought him to the government—— Killing the Lord and humiliating the Lord, and setting aside the Great Qing Dynasty, this is a serious crime of losing one's head.

In order to survive, he spent several thousand taels of silver to manage the government, and then fled to Daming by boat. Although he left his business in Shanghai and lost tens of thousands of taels, with the two hundred thousand taels he saved in HSBC back then For two silver coins, Wang Pengju started again on Daming's side.

Thirteen years ago, when his family fled to Daming, Wang Pengju had no idea what kind of business he wanted to do. When he first arrived in Linhai, looking at the ships passing by in the bay, he thought of the ship repair yard with constant business along the Huangpu River in Shanghai. At that time, there was only one ship repair yard in Linhai, so he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to set up a ship repair yard. In the past thirteen years, Taichang Ship Repair Yard, which had only one stone dock, became Taichang Shipyard step by step.

However, he always felt that something was missing?
Almost what?
Money, status!
He needs to use his success to make up for some of the lack of heart.

Wang Pengju has his ambitions in his heart. He hopes that one day, Taichang can become a famous shipyard in Ming Dynasty, at least Linhai. Only then can Wang Pengju really get rid of the shadow of the past.

Although Wang Pengju has long been a well-known wealthy gentry in Linhai, no one here will care about his past, and no Wang family will come to tell him that he killed the master and took his wife. The young mistress and Xiaoping are willing to marry him. Duo fled when he fled to Suzhou that year, why wait two years later?

And this is where his knot lies. Perhaps no one will come here again, but there is always something in his heart that he can't let go of. He wants to use his achievements to prove something.
"The opportunity is right now!..."

Pursing his lips, Wang Pengju was thinking in his heart that he had made a fortune in these years, but he was only one step away.

"Just take this opportunity,"

With such calculations in mind, Wang Pengju picked up the phone and called Manager Fang of Dadong Shipping Company, and soon made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.

When he put down the phone again, a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, it's done!"
