When Zhang Tie's father was in Huaiyuan County, he also started a small airship company. It could be considered a second venture. However, after arriving in Taixia, the airship company could not continue. And the reason was, There is only one, and that is that Taixia's airship manufacturing level and technology are far ahead of the airship manufacturing technology in the Hawaii subcontinent. Not only is it technologically advanced, but it is also in places like Youzhou, within Lingfeng County and Chaoyang County. Due to its scale effect, the production cost of airships produced by centralized large-scale airship production bases and factories is much cheaper than the airships produced by Zhang Tie's father's small company.
The quality cannot be compared with others, and the price has no advantage. Naturally, there is no market for such products. The small airship company owned by Zhang Tie's father has no choice but to close down.
In fact, among the entire Yanghe County of Youzhou, only the Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory under Huaiyuantang is barely competitive in Youzhou in terms of scale and technical strength. The other small and medium-sized airships moved from Huaiyuan County Manufacturing companies cannot compete with the local airship manufacturing companies in Taixia. Those small and medium-sized enterprises have only three options: either be merged by the Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory, or they can join forces and concentrate on becoming the downstream suppliers of the Huaiyuan Airship Manufacturing Factory. Or just close.
Huaiyuan Tang's power moved from the Hawaiian subcontinent to Taixia, and it also faced the pain of integration brought about by adapting to Taixia's various development needs. This pain is caused by overcapacity and excess labor in some industries on the one hand, and the lack of competitive advantages in the products produced in Taixia on the other hand. Lack of products with core competitiveness.
In addition to airship manufacturing companies, the entire Huaiyuantang manufacturing industry is experiencing such pain.
Huaiyuantang's method of facing the pain was actually to build a city. Through the huge domestic demand generated by city construction, the overall strength of the manufacturing industry in Yanghe County will be stimulated, digested and gradually integrated.
Only when he was in the position of a family elder, and at the same time his family was preparing to build a city, could Zhang Tie really stand on another level and pay attention to these internal family affairs in Huaiyuantang.
Zhang Tie bought land to build the city this time, in addition to considering the needs of his own family. Another intention is to give a helping hand when the family is facing difficulties. Under the current structure of Yanghe County. The addition of one more city will give a huge boost to Yanghe County in all aspects. Of course, if a city is built. You can make the "unemployed at home" dad become the city owner, find something for him to do, make dad's life more fun and more motivation to fight, make dad's life more exciting, and let mom have a better life. The life of Mrs. Xia City Lord would be even better.
As for the reason why the old man chose this time to get closer, in addition to Zhang Tie's reason, there was also an objective reason, that is, the original Galaxy Shipyard also faced such a problem. Whether it is from within the Zhang Tie family or from the overall environment of the Taixia shipbuilding industry, if Galaxy Shipyard wants to continue to survive and develop, it must also complete an upgrade and resource integration. Neither Galaxy Shipyard nor the old man has such strength. Only with the protection and support of Zhang Tie and closer to the two Zhang brothers can Galaxy Shipyard have a future.
A family cannot survive without the support of a strong economic lifeline, and now the entire Huaiyuantang, which has just settled in Taixia, has the only thing it can offer. There are two things that Youzhou and Taixia are somewhat competitive about - one is the manufacturing of rune weapons and equipment. One is Zhang Tie's full potion.
Rune weapons and equipment are a trump card of Huaiyuantang, and rune weapons and equipment, whether in Taixia or the Weiyi subcontinent, are in short supply on the market. No matter how much is produced, they are very affordable within the market price range. popular. The current problem of Huaiyuantang is that even if it is facing a small Youzhou, the rune weapons and equipment produced by Huaiyuantang are just a drop in the bucket, and the quantity is too small.
The most critical manufacturing process for the production of rune weapons relies on manual labor. To put it bluntly, they are rune weapon refiners of all levels. This rune weapon refiner is a high-end profession in this era, and it is also the most precious resource of Huaiyuantang. Huaiyuantang cultivates it. The increase in the number of rune refiners serving the family is limited. Therefore, relying on the rune equipment and weapons produced by the rune refiners in Huaiyuan Hall, it is naturally impossible to have as many as you want like an industrial assembly line. .
Under this situation, as the full-effect potion gradually opened up the market in Taixia, even without Zhang Tie, the Zhang family's weight in Huaiyuantang suddenly became more important. The full-effect potion was like an endless mine. Like a golden mountain, its value is becoming more and more obvious.
Others don't know that Zhang Tie invented the full-effect potion, and its output is completely controlled by Zhang Tie, but a group of high-level officials in Huaiyuantang are well aware of this. During Zhang Tie's more than two months in Jinguang City, Elder Mu En, who has become the governor of Yanghe County, personally visited Zhang Tie twice. On these two occasions, Elder Mu En and Zhang Tie talked about the Zhang family's city construction and the issue of full-effect medicine.
Huaiyuantang hopes that Zhang Tie can further liberalize the production of full-effect pharmaceuticals.
Currently, half of the more than two million full-effect medicines produced by the Jinwu Business Group every year are sold through the Changfeng Business Group's network according to the agreement. Once the production of these full-effect medicines is liberalized, those who will benefit are The business groups and business networks under Huaiyuantang.
In the Hawaiian subcontinent, Huaiyuantang's Changfeng Merchant Group is famous, but after arriving in Taixia, the Changfeng Merchant Group also "disappeared from everyone" and became ordinary, wanting to expand the family's business and business network. , what the Changfeng Business Group needs most is a unique and powerful product that can conquer cities and territories. However, this flagship product is now in Zhang Tie's hands. Zhang Tie has the final say on how many full-effect potions to produce every year. This forced the elders in Huaiyuan Hall to come and talk to Zhang Tie and test Zhang Tie's tone.
Zhang Tie has never responded clearly to Elder Mu En's request, because many things in Huaiyuan Hall cannot be decided by Elder Mu En alone, and within a family, it involves the transfer of benefits worth tens of millions of gold coins every year. There are some things and joints that need to be explained clearly and thoroughly. Not to mention a family as big as Huaiyuantang with such complicated members, even within some families, two brothers would have to settle accounts for a few gold coins, let alone such a huge amount of money.
When he came to Youzhou City this time, Zhang Tie guessed that Zhang Taixuan probably wanted to have a good talk with him about this matter.
It’s no wonder that Zhang Taixuan only came to talk to him about this matter at this time, because Zhang Taixuan has been busy from the beginning of October to now. When he was in Jinguang City, Zhang Tie heard that the governor of Youzhou had not walked out of the White Tiger for three months. Taiwan, and have to work almost 20 hours a day.
It is precisely because of Zhang Taixuan's busy work that in just three months, everything in Youzhou has slowly been on the right track, and government agencies at all levels have slowly begun to operate. This Youzhou has officially become a little Taixia. The weather of a state.
For other lower states that have just been established in Tige, even if the governor is elected, it will take at least a year to get everything in the state on track. Not to mention other things, just selecting and appointing officials will not take more than half a year. , it was difficult for Xiazhou, which had just been established in Tige, to recruit all the officials, let alone get everything on track. However, Zhang Taixuan only took three months to do it. People can't help but admire his strong ability. Hearing this He said that even the governor was surprised and praised Zhang Taixuan for his effectiveness.
It can be said that only at this time can Youzhou truly become Taixia's Youzhou.
From the sky, the majestic Youzhou City seems to be no different from three months ago, except that the snow outside the city is several feet high, but there is no snow on the entire Youzhou City wall. Zhang Tie also knew that in the past few months, Huaiyuantang had truly taken control of the city. Without the strong commanding ability to order and prohibit the entire Youzhou City Guards, the walls of Youzhou City would not be so clean at dawn amid a night of heavy snow.
Zhang Tie's figure followed the clusters of snowflakes falling on the road in the no-man's land outside Youzhou City, and then he walked towards Youzhou City easily with his legs.
Unless in time of war or due to official business, generally speaking, knights are prohibited from flying directly into Taixia's Class A cities or flying in without permission. As long as they cross the city wall, they may be attacked and intercepted by the city guards' anti-air weapons. In order not to cause any trouble or jokes, Zhang Tie settled down outside the city and walked into the city.
Revisiting this old place and visiting Youzhou City again was a special experience for Zhang Tie.
The last time he came to Youzhou City, Zhang Tie didn't even have a quick tour. He entered the city and took his parents to the Huaiyuan Guild Hall. Then his parents left and went into seclusion to prepare. After they came out, they went to Baihu Terrace to participate in the competition. The governor of Youzhou, and later, the governor drank a jar of dragon marrow wine and got himself drunk for a week. After waking up, he took over the responsibility of the Youzhou court captain, got a little familiar with the official duties, and then left - from front to back, I actually don’t have much impression of what Youzhou City, which has a radius of more than 1,600 kilometers, looks like.
At this moment, just after six o'clock in the morning, when Zhang Tie walked to a city gate in the east of Youzhou, the city gate that could allow more than ten trucks to enter side by side was already busy with traffic...
Under each city wall of Youzhou City, there are several city gates, and different city gates bear different responsibilities. The entire Youzhou City also uses different city gates to control the flow of logistics and people in and out of Youzhou City. Diversion, the city gate he sees now, the main people entering and exiting here are mainly vehicles transporting supplies - these materials, in winter, entering this city gate are mainly produced in the farms outside the city. Grain, meat and vegetables... ()
