Chapter 550: Capital export

Qin State is intensively upgrading its equipment in the country, and many central enterprises are actively researching and developing electricity-related things. Although there are no products available immediately, these primary products have already existed in laboratories on a large scale.

The power plants of this period were also very irregular, and first of all, there was no uniform standard voltage. The electricity used is only direct current. Not only that, but manufacturers have set up their own power plants for their own use.

Electricity development. After the voltage is found. Resistance is also recognized. Mainly, some people have begun to invent some heating devices using the thermal effect of resistance, and these are related to Qin's understanding of metals. Researchers have invented the existence of a variety of metals, especially metals such as chromium and nickel. These metal mines are located in the north.

The knowledge of metals is also stimulating geology. Geology is intersecting with chemistry. They use earth-boring technology to find some undiscovered minerals. For example, the demand for copper ore is great. Bullets use brass on a large scale. This has caused the price of brass to rise very sharply. Another important metal, aluminum, has become more aware of metals. Electrolytic aluminum produced the lightweight metal that Qin people wanted. But this metal cannot yet be used on a large scale. In addition to aluminum, there is steel. The use of electricity, as well as the emergence of electric heating effects, has caused some researchers to move to this area. They hope to use electricity to dissolve molten iron. Or rely on chemical methods to achieve what they want.

These are paving the way for the next step of Qin's development. But now Shangwen has to wait patiently.

But before, Shang Wen has to deal with Korean affairs. Koreans also began to flood into Qin like Zhao. These people are much luckier than Zhao. As long as the soldiers of the Qin Army don't pay attention to climb onto the train in the dark night. Following the train, they came to Qin State.

Came to Qin State. They were looking for work, or they were taken to the government of Qin State or the embassy of South Korea when they got off the train. There will need to apply for a certificate, and then find a job to earn taxes.

But a large part of the Koreans did not leave. They instead entered the Qin concession.

With the development of foreign trade. Especially in the arms trade, there is a war between Yan and Qi. Both sides lack everything. Especially Qi State. Qi Guo has gold, salt, salted fish, etc. in his hands. People in Qi are very rich. But they don't have anything produced by Qin State in their hands.

Binoculars, warm leather boots, belts, leather bags. These things are specially used to preserve gunpowder and bullets. The most important thing is the musket. artillery. Barbed wire, food. South Korea and Wei have a short border next to Qi. This laid a foundation for South Korea's trade.

Those nobles who lost their patrons began to engage in the arms business. And some Qin people also began to participate. In order to reduce costs. They put the business in the Qin concession in South Korea.

In the beginning, the concession was just an office place. But as Qin's domestic large and small companies were established, competition began to become extremely fierce. In particular, some factories opened well at the beginning, but they turned into another factory without knowing why. The changes are very fast. This has caused some factory owners to leave this place of right and wrong.

The appearance of the concession made these people shine. If the factory is set up in a concession. So close to the market has the convenience of the market. At the same time, Xinzheng has a well-developed road network, and a railway will be built in the next year. This has convenient transportation. It's not just these. South Korea also has a dense population. The wages for work there are very small. I don't want Qin, if the salary is less, the government will take people. But not in South Korea. The Koreans are used, and the Koreans cannot sue the Qin. With this idea. Some bold factory owners began to move away some equipment. But it involves equipment issues. The government has no choice but to take care of it.

The State of Qin exercised extremely strict technical control over the six countries. Even harsh. The reason is because Shang Wen is an official born in the technical sect. He knows exactly what technology brings. Not only Shangwen, but even King Qin gradually realized the tremendous changes brought about by technology. King Qin, who used to disdain craftsmen, began to become respectful. Even some princes studied architecture, medicine, finance and other disciplines.

At this time, someone actually wanted to set up the factory in the Korean concession area. This involves the outflow of some technologies. The simplest textile machine and sewing machine. These are a complete set of machine tools. It's not just these. There are also electrical equipment. These are the latest technologies of Qin State.

But if you don't use it, or don't let go of the technical thresholds of these industries, then problems will arise. What they can do is to make high profits. After all, this is the requirement of capital.

Capital has already requested to start exporting certain technological equipment, using local human resources, and being close to market demand to accomplish the purpose of capital export. But Shangwen needs to consider the overall situation.

First of all, the industries that are transferred are those. This must be carefully considered, the region with rich human resources is in South Korea. In addition to the Guanzhong area, Qin State currently rarely has a densely populated area.

A wide range of industries can be entered in densely populated areas. Heavy industry is excluded. Then the rest is light industry. At present, the light industry is mainly composed of two important sectors, textiles and leather.

Textiles are mainly blended textiles. Leather mainly produces some leather goods. But Qin Guo just signed an economic cooperation agreement with Zhao Guo. A large number of female workers from Zhao are entering Qin's textile and leather manufacturing plants. The number of these female workers is very large. If the capital export is achieved. These factories in Qin will be greatly affected. In South Korea, Qin people only need to pay Koreans less than half of the money to allow them to do this, while in Qin, the factory owner has to pay two and a half. The huge cost advantage will make this industry all go to the concession area of ​​South Korea.

But if you don't do it. So although Qin State still maintains this technological advantage, it is burdened with a heavier cost advantage, which makes the female workers of Zhao State who have just arrived suddenly become unemployed. Then the trouble will be big.

But the export of capital is a trend, a fact that cannot be changed. This is still incapable of changing. To a certain extent, South Korea’s economy is more advantageous than Zhao’s. Their geographical location is superior. The population is relatively dense. It is very suitable to set up some specialized labor-intensive industries, and they are facing the Qi market and the Chu market with huge potential. But Zhao Guo has to face huge challenges. Shang Wen has some headaches about this problem.
