Survive on a deserted island with the beautiful president

Chapter 118 A Meeting That Affects the Future

Chen Fan came this time, and there was another biggest task, which was to start a new project, which was steelmaking.

The people of the Li family are now in charge of mining, but the weapons made from the trained iron are not so easy to use. In many cases, they are not as good as bronze wares.

This method of making steel is still a secret now. As for iron smelting, it is no longer a secret. All eight countries can smelt iron, but steelmaking is not enough. These countries will also simply forge some, but the efficiency is very low. It doesn't work.

Under the guidance of Chen Fan and others, the staff of Xuanjing Division finally researched the method of large-scale steelmaking. This time, Chen Fan decided to build a steel factory in Yancheng to be responsible for steelmaking.

Rock city is very rich in ore, and there is coal nearby, so it is very convenient.

Then the Li family already had a mining business, so he was going to hand over the right to make steel to the Guo family.

Of course, this matter can only be done in secret, and the Li family cannot be known.

So after Chen Fan settled the matter of the Guo family, he prepared to open a bid.

He used the form of bidding. As for the bid price, he had already told Guo Laosan.

This time, a total of four families came to participate in the exceeding standard, namely the Guo family in Yancheng, the Li family, the Quan family in Wangdu, and the Shen family.

This is the first time that the term steelmaking has been brought up. In the past, it was a family business. This time, Chen Fan forcibly deprived it of it.

Today's county government is heavily guarded. Not only is Chen Fan borrowing [-] soldiers from the Yancheng frontier army, but also all the government servants in the county government are at work. Even a mosquito does not want to fly out.

This area has been tightly controlled.

Every time the bidding is like this, the main reason is that there are too many people here to participate in the bidding. These people who come to participate in the bidding recognize that they have money in their hands, and there are many officials here, so this place has become an important place for defense. .

But no one thought that the number of people who came to bid this time was only four.

Guo Laosan, the new head of the Guo family, has come here a long time ago. He got advice from Chen Fan this time, and he is confident. The middle-aged man felt a little guilty.

Naturally, the Li family and the Guo family were still at loggerheads. When seeing Laosan Guo, Li Songfeng choked on Laosan Guo unceremoniously.

"Guo Laosan, didn't you just die? Why are you still interested in participating in the bidding?" Li Songfeng's mouth is vicious, and he doesn't give Guo Laosan any face at all. In addition, the Guo family is originally a worker of the Li family. , Li Songfeng is really uncomfortable when he is on an equal footing with himself now.

Guo Laosan didn't even look at Li Songfeng. Now he feels that the pinnacle of his life is coming soon. With Mr. Chen's promotion, even if you, Li Songfeng, are making a fuss, you won't be able to catch his eyes.

The remaining two families greeted Guo Laosan in a friendly manner. In addition to expressing their condolences to Guo Laosan, they persuaded Guo Laosan a few more times to express their politeness.

They don't have to worry about someone coming out to disturb this time, and they don't have to worry about that force daring to interfere. In this place, even ordinary thieves have been driven to a place three miles outside the city.

As time passed by, the gates of the entire yamen were closed, and Chen Fan led people into the hall.

Behind Chen Fan, several people were carrying a cowhide box. This box seemed to be very heavy, and it took four people to lift it.

Chen Fan glanced at the next four people, and then said to everyone: "You are right to come today, those who don't come will definitely regret it!"

Chen Fan didn't expect that there were only four families who came. He originally thought that there should be more than a dozen families, but he didn't expect four people to come.

"Before the opening of the bid, let me tell you that this time the bidding is not for one item, but for four items. I originally planned to hand over the steelmaking to a family, but then I thought about it. It is unlikely to be eaten, so I split it into four items, since everyone is here, let’s divide it up, and as for the bidding, let’s just go through the motions, I don’t know what you think?"

Chen Fan's sudden idea made the four shopkeepers present at a loss. This is a pie that fell from the sky. I didn't expect to hit myself this time.

Guo Kai was also taken aback, this time he was thinking of making a life-and-death fight with the Li family, but he didn't expect Master Chen to sit in a row for everyone.

"I don't know which four items Mr. Chen is talking about?" The boss of the Quan family asked impatiently.

Chen Fan motioned for someone to open the big box!

In this box, there is actually a large box full of materials.

"Here are the materials needed for steelmaking, and there are some samples. It is made according to this standard. I think it is impossible for one family to complete it!"

These materials were circulated back and forth in the hands of the bosses of the four families. After knowing the truth, the people of the four families also secretly admired Xuan Jingsi's ability.

Although this steelmaking is not a secret, this kind of large-scale steelmaking cannot be realized under such conditions. Xuan Jingsi actually solved this problem perfectly, which made all the bosses admire. I understand what Chen Fan meant when he said that those who don't come will definitely regret it.

Among these materials, it is roughly mentioned that the most important thing about the usefulness of steel is that the armor made of this thing is several times harder than iron.

In the past, mechanical manufacturing was the Mohist's forte, but what they manufactured were all made of wood, which was solid and not practical at all.

However, if it is replaced by steel, it will be different.

This is a business that can easily drive people crazy, and they have to admire Xuan Jingsi's whimsy.

In this document, there is also a description of a specially made car. If this car can be realized, it will not be a problem at all. Even if it is a war, it can send the country's soldiers to the front line as soon as possible. any place.

"The four of you are all intelligent families, not the kind of families that rest on their laurels. If you dare to come today, it shows that you have the courage to change the world. You can choose for yourself. There are four items in total, one for each family. Don't dare It doesn't matter if you choose!"

The shopkeepers of these four families are all shrewd people. They immediately chose a business suitable for their own family. After paying Chen Fan a large amount of deposit, they all left satisfied.

Guo Laosan's wish finally came true, and Chen Fan handed over the steelmaking to him.
