The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"The tax reduction is affirmative. I have heard the Prime Minister say this many times." King Qin said at this time.

"The prime minister's difficulties, the minister only realizes now." Meng Yi said at this time.

"En. Bring it up if you have any difficulties." King Qin said.

"Xie Wang," Meng Yi thanked him.

Immediately, King Qin and Meng Yi began to discuss in detail Meng Yi's upcoming plan. This plan will bring great benefits to the State of Qin. This benefit is obvious.

The reason that Shangwen did not implement this plan prematurely was because the war cost was so expensive that he could not allow Qin to concentrate on such measures. It was not only the war cost, but also other things that prevented it from proceeding. However, with the disappearance of Shangwen and the delegation of many matters from the State of Qin, the Qin army withdrew from the southwest. Qin Guo now has the energy to solve domestic issues.

There is indeed the situation in Qin State mentioned by Shangwen. Although Qin State has an industrial base, the development of the industrial base is very uneven. Not only that, but also a considerable industrial gap. Qin State already has a complete machine tool factory. At the same time, there are some small hand-crafted workshops. These handicraft workshops process some handmade products for automobiles, airplanes, and other factory products. It can be said that Qin's factories in this period are in a period of rapid development, but the development is still uneven and imperfect. Compared with that kind of big industry, the gap is still very big.

With this in mind, Shang Wen hopes to speed up the upgrading of Qin's manufacturing level. Shangwen’s goal is to integrate resources first, and rapidly improve the coal and steel level of Qin State. Then, on this basis, quickly eliminate those small workshops, and build Qin State’s own production capacity on top of the huge steel production capacity. The industrial base of factories, these industrial bases are factories, that is to say, after Qin State, there will be factories instead of small workshops. Although such workshop enterprises have a certain degree of flexibility in solving employment and overcoming technical problems. But it lacks technical accumulation. At the same time, small workshops have great financial risks, and they have great security in terms of funding. It is precisely because of this that Shangwen is determined to eliminate this production method.

But the prerequisite must be to solve the stable production of steel. In this era when steel has just emerged, steel is the most urgent resource. This kind of resource is far more important than iron. If iron can produce farm tools and all kinds of products, then Qin's steel is the most important resource on the basis of iron. Because of Qin's large-scale use of coal resources, Qin's iron smelting ability surpassed the times. On this basis, Qin quickly gained the ability to produce steel. Qin's steel can make guns or cannons. Used to produce places with special needs, construction, trains and locomotives, etc.

Other countries have not mastered this skill. Qin State monopolized this important resource of steel.

In a sense, the production of steel requires more other resources to support, and mastering these resources requires intensive funds and at the same time more other resources. The concentration of these resources will inevitably require monopoly to maintain its huge scale. Only when the funds are concentrated can the resources be concentrated to generate enough profits to maintain its operation. And a series of measures taken by Meng Yi, especially banking measures, will trigger this kind of monopolistic behavior.

In the banking committee, the banking minister is sending such a signal.

"The Prime Minister's latest meaning is that Qin will stop providing loans to small steel, coal, coke, and pig iron smelting companies. At the same time, banks will provide differentiated loans for these companies," said the bank minister.

"En." The banking giants attending the meeting this time. Started to discuss in a low voice.

"In this way, our bank can participate in the real economy. However, it seems very important to focus on steel for the first time." A banker representative of the Banking Union told other bank representatives. Said.

"It seems so, but I believe that steel and railways are inseparable. Since we want to monopolize steel, we must monopolize railways in a timely manner. Only by monopolizing railways can we rapidly expand the demand for steel." Another bank representative Said.

"We can also use other methods, investment, holdings, and market operations. In this way, we can do the same." Another bank representative said.

"En." The bank representative nodded.

"The prime minister's meaning has been conveyed to you, and I need you to understand that the bank's actions will bring a powerful driving effect to physical enterprises." Meng Yi said.

"Okay. This is the end of the meeting. You can discuss measures." said the bank minister. Then the meeting disbanded.

"The banking industry has produced huge giants. It seems that the next industry, steel, and various important basic industries, will produce giants. Steel giants. Railway giants." An older banker said, waving his arms.

And a young banker in his thirties smiled slightly. This old banker really explained the current situation. Qin Guo is rapidly developing towards a monopoly industry.

If Qin wants to increase steel production, he must monopolize. A monopoly will form a huge power, but doing so will be detrimental to those small and medium-sized enterprises, and Shangwen has not implemented this policy for a long time because he wants to solve the small and medium-sized enterprises reasonably, but Meng Yi believes that Shangwen only Because of time, the state of Qin was not going forward, so Qin was moving towards a monopoly stage, and at this time, other countries had not yet started their national economic development.

However, it is followed by South Korea, which is also actively carrying out its own economic development.

"The disappearance of Qin's prime minister is a loss for Qin, but it is an opportunity for South Korea. Therefore, South Korea must speed up its development progress. South Korea must speed up its own industrial production." Han Shu held a meeting. The prime minister's cabinet meeting, because compared to the ministerial meeting. Cabinet meetings are much more efficient than ministerial meetings. Many policies can be immediately implemented as long as they are communicated and discussed and formulated. Therefore, Han Shu is willing to convene a cabinet meeting, but is not willing to convene a ministerial meeting because the efficiency of the ministerial meeting is not very high.

"Although our industrial production capacity has started a lot, don’t forget. There are many factories in Korea and the production capacity is very large. However, I don’t know why the demand and supply are continuously decreasing. Although our products are cheap, they are Our products cannot be exported to countries where they need them. Our products are turning to military use instead of civilian use. Many companies will shrink quickly if they don’t cooperate with the military. Therefore, we have to reduce the size of our huge factories.” Han Shu took one. The data report said.

Not only Qin Guo discovered the problem of shrinking demand, but even South Korea, which began to develop light industrial production, began to notice this problem. South Korea’s light industry is mainly concentrated in the production of cloth, leather, leather shoes and other light industrial products. However, with the rapid increase in production capacity, demand has not increased rapidly. Instead, some domestic needs have digested some industrial products, but the demand in other countries has not increased. Fall back. This made Han Shu very annoyed.

"In view of the decrease in demand. We should take some actions. This is not only a requirement of demand, but also a requirement of banks. Korean banks cannot provide so much funds to those companies. You must know that companies produce a lot of goods and cannot If you sell it, it will cause a product backlog. The consequence of the backlog is that it takes up more funds, and South Korean companies need more funds. As a result, the Korean Royal Bank will release more funds. If the funds are too large, they will let them. South Korean companies produce more products, which creates a vicious circle." Han Shu said.

"This situation cannot happen." Han Shu said.

"Go on like this. It's really bad for South Korea." The Minister of Economy said.

"And it is extremely detrimental to our industrial production. It is indeed detrimental to continue this way, but we don't know how to solve it." said the Minister of Industry.

"However, we can continue to cooperate with Qi State. The State Council of Qi needs industrial products to do this. After all, they are fighting. We can provide it to the Army of Qi." The Minister of Industry said at this time.

"But doing so will involve the banks and increase their disadvantages." The Minister of Economy continued.

"Such an approach is also very undesirable." The Minister of Economy refused.

"We now need demand and supply. Not production and supply. The capital situation can be solved by paper money, but the demand cannot be solved. I think our most fundamental problem is to solve the export situation of South Korea’s industrial products and fight wars. After all, it is not a long-term strategy." said the bank minister.

"The fundamental problem is still the problem of solving demand. But looking at it, the market share is getting smaller and smaller." said the bank minister.

"Qin State itself has huge production capacity, if Qin State increases production capacity, it will be very unfavorable to us." said the bank minister.

"So, we should look for another market. It is best that this market can quickly fill the current situation. Because Korean companies produce a lot of industrial products, only after these industrial products are eliminated. Korean factories can be further upgraded. Those. Only small workshops can disappear. Only Korean factories can be formalized." The bank minister said with an industry report.

South Korea is also facing the same problem, and small workshops must be upgraded. However, South Korea does not seem to have such a demand. Because of shrinking demand, South Korea needs to solve these problems in order to solve other problems.
