Chapter 61: , Plans to build a steel plant

　　 Ferdinand calculated that it was time to start the steel plant. It can be expected that for a long time in the future, this will be money-losing goods.
　　This kind of big project related to the people's livelihood of the country, of course, requires the government to take part in it. How else can it be called nationalism?
　　 "Alice, tell Constantine to come over!" Ferdinand
　　 The steel plant cannot be built overnight. If you don’t see the Hanyang Steel Plant, it is a lesson of blood.
　　 "A little difference is a thousand miles away"!
　　 In 1890, Zhang Zhidong sent an engineer to Daye to investigate and discovered a large-scale open-pit iron ore, and he began preparations for the construction of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.
　　 Due to lack of professional knowledge, they ignored the engineers’ requirement that
to build a steel plant, the quality of iron and coal must be tested
before determining what kind of steel to make.
　　 I bought the equipment from the start of the horse, imitating the British steel plant. The factory was placed in Hanyang, as a result, the raw material transportation distance was greatly increased, the cost was greatly increased, and the product lost its competitiveness.
　　 When Ferdinand saw this place, he shook his head and sighed. The first steel plant in Asia was just crippled by bureaucrats.
　　 Oh, in this time and space, the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has also been launched, which is still the same. Ferdinand was also prepared to remind, but found that the Big Apple is still very arrogant, except for the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia, they still do not care about other countries.
　　 Bulgarian or something, the treatment is not as good as that of North Korea, and it has no status. Talking is like farting, and Ferdinand doesn't bother to care about it.
　　The specific rules are not clear to Ferdinand. However, he still knows six points that are well-known to the future generations.
　　 1. As close as possible to the origin of raw materials.
　　2. There is ample water source nearby (preferably close to the river). Of course, based on this point, the location of the steel plant needs to be built in the downstream and downwind direction of the city where it is located. It should be far away from residential areas.
　　3. There must be convenient transportation (ports, railways, etc.).
　　 4. The local area must have sufficient supply of resources (such as iron ore, coal, etc.).
　　5. The processing plant should save land, not occupy or occupy less fertile land.
6. The plant selection should take into account the local natural geographical environment. Avoid building plants in the following areas: a. Seismic fault zone; b. Three-level self-weight collapsible loess area with large soil thickness; c. Prone to floods, mudslides, Mountain areas prone to natural disasters such as landslides.
　　 A large range, Ferdinand can be locked, the location of the later Bulgarian steel plant is not bad. It is definitely not possible to copy it mechanically. Productivity is different, and what is suitable in the future may not be suitable now.
　　The specific location still depends on the engineer to select the location, and the layman will direct the insider, and most of it will not have any good results.
　　 "Dear Lord, Constantine greets you!" Constantine held his chest with his left hand and bowed to Ferdinand.
　　 "Well, how are Constantine negotiations going?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
　　 "Your Excellency, everything is going well!" Constantine replied happily, seeing that he was very satisfied.
　　 "Well, we still have to hurry up, sign a treaty as soon as possible, and get what we want! If you encounter difficulties, just use the money to feed the cost of a few officials, we still have to pay!" Ferdinand
　　 "Yes, Lord, we will sign the treaty as soon as possible!" Constantine promised
　　 Ferdinand looked at the energetic Constantine and said: "I am looking for you today, mainly to discuss the issue of the steel plant!"
Constantine was surprised, and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, is it really great that someone wants to invest in a steel plant? There are currently only a few steel workshops in Bulgaria, which are imported from abroad every year, wasting our precious Foreign exchange resources! You can rest assured that our government will definitely provide the most favorable terms. The land is free and tax-free!"
　　Ferdinand looked at Constantine who was spitting, and some did not know him. When did I say that someone wants to invest in a steel plant? Which idiot capitalist will invest in a Bulgarian steel plant at this moment? It's completely Hetiankeng, even if all the government tax exemption, it will not recover the cost!
　　 "Mr. Constantine, calm down! No one wants to work in the Bulgarian steel plant, capitalists are not philanthropists!" Ferdinand said dissatisfied
　　 Hearing Ferdinand’s words, Constantine knew that he had misunderstood, and explained embarrassingly:
Oh, sorry! Your Excellency, I’m gaffe, I just thought it was an idiot who was going to invest in a steel plant, so I was a little too excited!

Ferdinand smiled and said, "Yes! Mr. Constantine, you think too much! The steel plant must be built. As for the land and taxes, it is the same! I plan to be the government this time. !"
Constantine was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your Excellency, is it too much for our government to fund the establishment? At present, steel plants all over the world are built by capitalists. I am afraid that it will destroy the free market economy and cause unnecessary mess!"
Ferdinand seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "What is a free market economy? That's not the case! If we don't invest, it is estimated that in 20 years, Bulgaria will not have a decent steel plant. As for the precedent, isn't UU reading www.uukanshu.com all come out of people? And in today's world, state-owned steel plants are not only being built by us, but the Big Apple Empire in the East is also being built?"
　　 Constantine was a little confused, so he was convinced? He had heard of the Big Apple Empire in the East. It was said to be a food empire, and even its name brought food. He didn't even build a steel plant, he didn't know, since the Grand Duke said there was one!
　　 "Oh, your Excellency, the establishment of a state-owned steel plant will disrupt the free competition in the market. I am afraid that many people will oppose it!"
"It's easy! The government can release this news first. Then announce that if there is a capitalist who can build a large steel plant with an annual output of one million tons of steel within five years, the plan will be cancelled. Interested capitalists are welcome to sign up! We can also give them tax exemption. By the way, if the task is not fulfilled, then Bulgaria’s industrialization process will be delayed, and it will be responsible!
Ferdinand took a damaging note
　　 If someone from the outside world sees Ferdinand’s conspiracy, they will say: "Crazy!"
　　 If it is the 21st century, with an annual output of one million steel, it is a township enterprise, a small and micro enterprise that has been shut down! But here is the 19th century, in 1891, the only countries that produced more than one million steel annually were France, Germany, Britain, the United States, and Russia, which had just over one million.
　　 Is this possible? Ferdinand can say with certainty, impossible! Even if he invests himself, he can't do it!
　　 Come if you want to object, don’t be afraid of being scolded as shit, you can come out and try! With an annual output of one million tons of steel, it can also be ranked sixth in the world. Can the public object to such a big temptation?
　　 If it is done, if Ferdinand can be shameless, Bulgaria can still be an industrial country and get a hat of a great power on the way.
