From Helan Mountain to Yinchuan, Lanzhou can go straight upstream.
After the Yellow River freezes, coal can be transported by ship.
It is quite convenient.
After the railway is built later, the problem of energy demand can be completely solved.
Jiang Li planned a three-step process of waterway, railway and highway.
Extend the railway as far north as possible, firstly, to meet the needs of the subsequent Anti-Japanese War, and secondly, once conditions are mature, Baotou Iron Mine can be developed as quickly as possible.
Some iron ore mines in Gansu and Xinjiang can temporarily meet the existing equipment production capacity.
Once production is expanded, we must find another way to iron ore.
"Of course, this is just the first step.
In addition, I need to build a tractor factory and a transport truck factory in Lanzhou, including engine manufacturing.
Of course, I need to purchase two hundred Mark AC Bulldog tractors first, and two factories The first phase investment is expected to be around US$8 million.
In addition, I need a batch of medical equipment worth US$1.3 million.
I will write to you later. .
Then I need to order some drilling equipment for copper and aluminum and other non-ferrous metals from your country.
I also need a set of 7,000-ton hydraulic forging machine.
In addition, I am preparing a railway construction plan of more than 1,500 kilometers.
Order some rails and locomotives, you know, there is nothing in the northwest, it is too backward, I need to change the status quo here.”
Jiang Li briefly said that there was no need to build large-tonnage warships in the northwest at this time.
A 7,000-ton hydraulic press could solve all the equipment production problems Jiang Li needed.
"Oh, Jiang, have you robbed God's treasury?
The total of these things, roughly added up, is at least about 40 to 50 million US dollars.
Could it be that a war of 100,000 people hasn't depleted all your last funds?"
Charlie exaggeratedly said that if he took the lead in negotiating such a big deal, it would be a sensation in the American business community.
After all, we are still on the cusp of the 1929 economic crisis.
Bankruptcy and bankruptcy have become the most commonly used words in the United States nowadays, even though the Soviet Union purchased a large amount of equipment.
But there is also Western Europe taking food from American manufacturing.
If he could win this business, Charlie could even imagine what ugly faces those arrogant guys in the past would use to flatter him.
"Not yet.
The last war used Fengtian's reserves, and the gold funds were not used.
The more than 60 million US dollars in my hand, except for some spare parts, are all planned to be used to build the northwest.
Of course, if there is Second-hand equipment.
Or directly purchase equipment from bankrupt companies.
I would be more happy if you could help me save money in this regard.
Funds, I will not be stingy with you, an old friend.
You first help me put this news in the United States and publish it in newspapers.
Of course, the most important point is that these factories built must have technical input.
I will provide Money.
The cooperative company must send technicians to help me train employees so that the northwest construction factory can actually operate.”
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said.
After a while, Jiang Li asked those international students to help set up special overseas offices to contact some bankrupt local companies and factories.
A lot of money can be saved, but the money must be spent now.
Money cannot buy time.
Jiang Li must build up the industrial structure in the northwest as quickly as possible.
As for the extra money spent, you can earn it back later.
When the September 18th Incident broke out, Jiang Li was competing for time with the Japanese.

Now in the northwest, Jiang Li is still competing for time with the Japanese.
If the preliminary industrialization of the northwest had been completed one day earlier, thousands of soldiers would have been spared in vain on the battlefield. certainly.
This is not the most important thing.
Once the all-out war of resistance breaks out, the northwest's access to purchase machinery from the east will be cut off by the Japanese.
When the time comes, there will be no place to buy them if you have money.
Although the Soviets will be able to provide some help then, but now when you shop around, you will always get more technology.
There is another reason.
Now is the peak period of the economic crisis.
It is relatively easier to introduce talents and purchase equipment, and the prices are also low.
Now I can’t bear to pay the price.
When the time passes, I will have more money later.
Get up, but you may not be able to get things done easily by taking advantage of this good season.
There are also reasonable people among foreigners.
Forming a business relationship with them now will also lay a good foundation for future cooperation.
No one trusts each other from the beginning.
"Okay, I will definitely try my best to help you save precious funds.
So I'm going back to the United States again."
Charlie's eyes lit up, and then he said with a bitter look on his face, "It's really terrible.
The traffic in the northwest of your country is really bad."
It's too backward.
Next time, Jiang, you should send me a telegram.
Running back and forth is really killing people. " "There has never been such a big cooperation.
If a telegram is sent to you, would you believe it?"
Jiang Li asked back.
"That's true.
If I didn't come over to meet you in person, and see the fact that you captured the northwest, it's really hard to believe that you have achieved such a great military success in the northwest.
It seems that there is still a lot of room for our cooperation in the future."
Charlie Said with great agreement.
"Of course it's big.
In two years at the latest, I will build one or two large hydroelectric power stations in the Yellow River section west of Lanzhou.
The investment required is tens of millions of dollars.
This is just an initial investment."
Jiang Li smiled calmly, and this year and next he will use the remaining half of the US dollars to buy silver, and then use the silver as collateral to borrow money from foreign banks in the United States, and then buy it again, and so on.
Enough to make a killing on the silver bill.
In addition, there is penicillin in his hand, and there is another medicine that can be obtained.
But if you really want to make a lot of money, you have to set up a pharmaceutical company in the United States.
Otherwise, if you produce too much in the northwest, you won't be able to sell it and convert it into large amounts of dollars.
"Well, Jiang, your ambition is really amazing.
If the rulers of your country had such determination as Jiang, I'm afraid your country wouldn't be humiliated like this by the Japanese.
I also hate those arrogant and ignorant guys in Japan.
One day they will be taught a lesson," Charlie said disdainfully.
Jiang Li smiled when he heard this.
Before the United States could teach the Japanese a sufficient lesson, Japan first slapped the other side hard in the Pacific Ocean.
Looking at Charlie's hurried away figure, Jiang Li smiled.
Although this guy was greedy for money, he still had some moral principles.

At least working with him can be a bit more humane, which is why Jiang Li chose to partner with him again.
Although the northwest is now in ruins and has a poor geographical location, this is relative.
Those densely populated and wealthy coastal provinces will have their advantages turned into disadvantages once the Anti-Japanese War breaks out in full force.
However, because the northwest is located inland, it can become a stable rear area.
As long as the machinery brought from Fengtian is put into production smoothly, the economy and industry of the northwest will reach a higher level.
And when this batch of purchased machinery arrives, there will undoubtedly be further progress.
Less than six years is really urgent
