The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

For nearly a year and a half from last year to now, the entire Chinese and German fleets have been desperately transporting goods to each other. What they pulled out was 450 million tons of gold ore, and what they pulled back were millions of tons of various machinery and equipment. , laboratory equipment, munitions, production lines, etc. Those that are not enough have either become ships or are still being produced by the Germans day and night. The entire production plan can last until 5 years later

Among the 450 million tons of ore, nearly 8000 million grams of the most critical gold were produced. Converted into US dollars, before Roosevelt depreciated, it was equivalent to about 1.4 million US dollars, and 9000 tons of silver, converted into the current Chinese silver, has 3.3333 million yuan per dollar. The silver dollar weighs 27 grams and contains 88% silver. In addition to the output of zinc, copper and a small amount of other minerals, the total value of these ores is close to 4 million US dollars.

In this era, this amount of money is enough to leverage the economic circulation of half the country. Roosevelt only issued 7 million U.S. dollars when he came to power, and opened half of the more than 1 banks in the United States. much less

Up to now, Germany has basically solved the unemployment problem of most of the population. Apart from Hitler's advocacy, Zhu Bin's contribution is the biggest

But business belongs to business. At the national level, personal gains and losses are not so worthy of attention. At least for Hitler, seeing countless high-quality machinery and equipment produced by German workers being pulled away one by one, he felt distressed at the time. I made a lot of money, but I don’t know when I think about it later, I feel that I’m at a loss, and I start to think about it

In addition to the initial exchange agreement, in the later two transactions, is the price of strong alloys overestimated?In particular, the people from the Krupp company finally concluded that it is a pity that this alloy is used to make warships and aircraft. Unless it is the car used by the head of state, use a little less

Smelting it yourself?Raw materials alone can cause death. Look at the formulas listed by Zhu Bin. There are metal elements that have not been discovered or have just been discovered. There are not many such things that can be produced in the laboratory. You need to find the mine first for your own synthesis.

One year later, the production of titanium alloys is still in a small-scale stage. Although Zhu Bin claimed that titanium is the seventh most abundant deposit on the earth, there is a lot of it in the earth, but in fact, who can give the titanium oxide in the soil to the earth? Get it out?How much silicon and aluminum are there in the soil? Try it out.

This is where Mr. Zhu cheated. He has a molecular melting furnace. You can break down all the molecular structures and chemical components into the original elemental structure and separate them out. However, the smelting technology these days is unimaginable.

Then you have to look for high-content ilmenite, rutile, or several other special minerals. Germany has not found this thing so far. But someone from Soviet Russia found it. Later, Zhu Bin felt embarrassed to tell them about Australia. There are also, but from discovery to mining to smelting, none of them cannot be completed in a year or two. That is to say, until now, the Germans can only produce a little titanium on a small scale, which is far from the industrial output they expected. nose up

All raw materials have to be imported, this deal is definitely a loss

That's why Hitler was upset. Germany now needs to quickly rebuild industry, rebuild the military, and restore the economy and national confidence. Short, quick and direct things like gold ore are the most valuable. Technology and the like are really not in urgent need. Buying and selling, you have to have a good talk with the Chinese

Then at the Chicago World Expo in the United States, the appearance of nylon, spandex and Kevlar attracted the attention of the Germans

These are chemical synthesis technologies, which can bring about changes in the entire industrial chain. The construction of a whole production line of polymers and chemical fibers can almost drive and change the entire German chemical industry, textile industry, metallurgical building materials, automobiles, etc. There are countless industries, which are much better than the cheating titanium alloys and high-strength alloys. The most important thing is that it can be directly connected with the developed coal chemical industry in Germany and the petrochemical industry that is under intensive construction to form an upper and lower chain. The benefits are great.

This is what Germany needs.

At that time, I proposed the matter of patent authorization to Zhu Bin. In view of the friendly cooperation between the two parties, why should you give it a priority?

Zhu Bin's answer at the time was very straightforward, there is no problem with this, and after we complete the industrialized production research, we will be the first to provide relevant technologies and equipment to Germany

The Germans were very happy at first, but then they realized that something was wrong. Hasn't the so-called industrial production equipment been researched since summer?After inquiring from the consultant group, the first phase of the chemical fiber project of Yongli Chemical Co., Ltd. by Fan Xudong and his group is almost completed. Adipic acid is produced from phenol extracted from coal and petrochemicals, and then hexamethylenediamine is produced from adipic acid. , and then grafted the hot-melt drawing technology for manufacturing "basalt fiber" to produce qualified high-strength nylon fiber

The first production line is expected to be put into use at the end of the year or early next year

The Germans suddenly became furious. If you don’t bring such a thing, can’t your family make a fortune in silence?How profitable synthetic fibers are, just look at those crazy girls on the streets of Chicago. scalper

This is a revolutionary material, and the economic value brought by mass production is definitely calculated in billions of dollars

But you can't turn against Zhu Bin or come hard. Germany doesn't have that kind of capital at present, and the strength shown by the gd laboratory is also very taboo. This might be the next Rockefeller or DuPont, or even Rothschild It’s all possible. The rise of Germany needs friends, not enemies. There’s no need to be ugly. In addition, so far, other countries in the world have not obtained patent authorization and production equipment from China. The Germans are still ranked first. , deliberate, or talk patiently

Little Krupp, who seems to be very sincere, was sent as a representative. If people like Kelan or Liu Lishi open their mouths, they will definitely be slaughtered by Zhu Bin. For Little Krupp, they see each other very well. Zhu Bin seems to be more merciful

After talking round and round for a long time, Zhu Bin finally understood: "Oh, you mean that Germany wants to return the batch of silver, and then first help Germany build the polymer polymerization laboratory and nylon and Kevlar production lines as soon as possible. , and full technical cooperation in this regard, is that it?"

Little Krupp nodded embarrassingly. He felt shameful about this kind of thing. The silver was also provided by Zhu Bin. You just return it, and you have to replace it with promising technology and equipment. Isn’t that a bit shameless? ?

In a general sense, people who come up with ideas are absolutely shameless. In this era, there are only a few places in the world such as China and Mexico that adopt the silver standard, and the price of silver has fallen to the lowest price in history due to the impact of the economic crisis. At the beginning of this year, the worst silver price was only 25 cents an ounce, which made several major silver producers in the United States lose money. However, China’s passive devaluation has mitigated the impact of the economic crisis.

Now, the market still hasn’t seen a good start, and the Germans can’t use so much silver in their own industries. Gold is enough for hard currency. It’s better to replace it with other metal minerals, such as tungsten, manganese, cobalt, etc. All of them are useful to keep in their own hands and take up space, so some people came up with an idea to give back to the Chinese. After they abolished the two yuan and changed the yuan, with the commissioning of German factory equipment, the total economic output will definitely double in the next few years. The demand for silver dollars will definitely increase. With so many factories under Zhu Bin's hands, they have to pay a lot of wages.

It seems that it is a business that has only advantages and no disadvantages for Germany, but Zhu Bin does not see it that way. It is true that China is a silver standard, and a large amount of silver dollars needs a lot of silver turnover. The billions of dollars accumulated from the Ming Dynasty to the present Silver can still be supported at present, but with the full-scale start of the country's heavy industry this year, it will inevitably bring about a sharply inflated demand, coupled with the sharp increase in its own export products, it will inevitably require a large amount of silver swaps, and imports are inevitable

In addition, after these days of tempering, his economic knowledge and macro-strategic vision have improved, and he is no longer just thinking like a trash guy, and he has drawn up a big plan that also requires a lot of silver. People come to return the goods at this time, it is considered sleepy and met the pillow

Little Krupp felt that his proposal was too much, but for the sake of Germany, he had to try his best to do things well and return the silver. He was greatly relieved, but the technology and equipment of three kinds of fibers were needed immediately, which was difficult for others.

Zhu Bin frowned, but it was not an act

In the half a year since the introduction of nylon and other three kinds of polymer composites, he had never expected the turmoil and world-class shock caused by it, and olive branches from various countries, crazy polymer laboratory equipment orders, waiting in line The number of orders, and even the advance payment for the packaged order of the entire production line, are completely inconsistent with the current situation of the economic crisis, indicating that the market is not generally large.

After digging and sorting out Serena's data, I found out that this thing is enough to make him rich and rich, and can replace a considerable proportion of natural products, including steel, plastic, cotton, linen, rare elements, special materials, etc. etc., the wide range of uses and the huge market are beyond imagination

According to the original plan, it was an excuse to complete the transformation from the laboratory to industrial production, monopolize the market for at least three years, and then slowly open it to the big powers, but it was only half a year, and the Germans couldn't help it. Isn't it to lure wolves into the house? (to be continued)
