On March 10, 1953, senior executives from major factories in St. Hesse gathered in Putrajaya for the belated 52nd annual meeting.
It is held once a year to summarize the development of the past year and formulate future development plans.
The number of people attending the conference this time more than doubled compared to last year, and there were several more factories and new faces.
Rennes Military Industry did not participate, Xin'a Media still did not participate, Thunder Cross, Delta, and Cohen Consulting did not participate.
The Coen Brothers and Prairie International also participated, as staffing firms and trading companies.
Most of the 52-year factory development goals set by St. Hesse last year were not achieved, and some sales even regressed. This was mainly affected by the economic crisis in Western Europe.
Fortunately, with continuous financial support, technical massage has made the fastest progress during the crisis.
The company with the fastest development and largest expansion in 52 years was Thunder Mining Company. In addition to the domestic market, it also entered the two major markets of Australia and Bolivia.
The ones with the highest profits are Rennes Military Industry and the smaller Andes Eagle Cigarette Factory, both exceeding US$10 million, which strongly supports the expansion and development of other companies.
The two companies that have a slight loss in break-even are Prali Food and Lanyun Shoes and Clothing Textiles. Fortunately, this is only a temporary phenomenon. Saint-Jesse plans to develop these two companies this year.
Despite the promotion of several new management teams, the current management of the two major companies will still develop with the factory mentality, which will only get worse.
Prali Foods and Lanyun Shoes, Clothing and Textiles can exert greater combat effectiveness and profitability, and can also develop a more complete supplier system.
Especially in terms of beverages, San Jose has planned to start a Brazilian beverage war with Antarctica Beverages and Coca-Cola. Otherwise, it will not be able to win the market at home, and Prali Food will not develop well. This is a tough nut.
So Prali Foods must evolve to cope with increasingly difficult competition.
The same is true for Lanyun Shoes, Clothing and Textiles. The old management personnel are no longer enough to adapt to international competitive trade. The equipment gap with Europe is not as big as before, but the personnel management is still the same old ideas and methods.
Sanhai Shipyard is still in the R&D and production stage, and the first sample fishing boat has been completed.
Maya Chemical continues to expand its production scale in accordance with Saint Jose's wishes, and also develops the production of chemical fertilizers, explosives, and pesticides. After spinning off the fireworks factory, the comprehensive chemical industry idea is getting smoother.
Shawntard made rapid progress and already had the qualities of a professional manager. He directly squeezed the Sequoia Fertilizer Factory into bankruptcy. This was helped by some public opinion from the "Xin'a Daily".
The Sequoia Fertilizer Factory itself has a lot of black material, which offended many farms. The "organic fertilizer" they produced had no effect, and they even mixed some soil into it. Under the impact of the Maya Fertilizer Factory, it closed down directly, and the boss also lost money because of the economy. Crime is sent in.
The Falcon Bureau has a very interesting report about Sean. When he learned about the collapse of the Sequoia Fertilizer Factory, Sean took three days off from the personnel headquarters. He first cut his iconic long hair into a short bob and took the train back. In his hometown, he shared the good news with his family and sat in silence in front of his father's cemetery for a whole day.
Sean realized that following his boss and becoming one of the largest chemical groups in the world might be a good piece of cake.
He is very talented and has completely transformed into a professional manager. He is no longer involved in explosives and other aspects. With the support and help of Saint Jose, he is the fastest progressing among the old employees.
To be honest, it was hard for him to imagine that selling oil could lead to losses and bankruptcy, especially since the Argentine Petroleum Company was still a national monopoly.
Leighton Industrial's tractor factory, machinery factory, and motorcycle factory have also basically completed construction, and have begun mass production. The first customer is Future Agriculture. There is a lot of new land in Future Agriculture, and there is a great need for these plants that do not eat grass and eat gasoline and diesel. Guy.
The cooperation with the Argentine state-owned oil company has also deepened. Fortunately, Argentina does not lack oil, and the Argentine oil company really suffers from the so-called state-owned enterprise disease. A good industry has little profit, and I don’t know whether it is because of too many employees or corruption. Too serious,
Oil and natural gas are one of the more abundant energy minerals in Argentina, which are particularly rich along with Colombia and Brazil.
For this hen that can lay golden eggs, it has now become a serious burden on Argentina's finances. Last year, Argentina's national oil company made no profit and lost almost 2 million US dollars, which is unimaginable to him.
For this reason, the Argentine Petroleum Company was sold to the Americans and companies from other countries in its previous life.
The direct reason is actually obvious. In December last year, Argentine Petroleum Company organized 14 strikes, which had seriously disrupted the company's operation and development.
When he saw this, he just sighed. As an important part of the national system, state-owned companies are now collapsing step by step due to some internal reasons. It is really sad.
Last year, factories and companies in San Jose continued to maintain a record of zero strikes. He is already relatively experienced in this regard, but the size of his employees is not comparable to that of Argentina's increasingly bloated state-owned companies.
Future agriculture can only continue to invest heavily, but it has also engaged in some side businesses, such as grain purchase and sales. Argentina has a bumper grain harvest this year, and Saint Jose has no shortage of foreign trade channels. Future Agriculture plans to establish a grain and oil company this year to engage in deep grain processing. , there is no great future for growing food exclusively.
This was Nola's suggestion. Nola did a good job in agriculture in the future, so he recruited many Indians.
The cigarette factory didn't need too many Indians, so some of them were diverted there.
The construction of industrial farms is also progressing well. Many peasant families have been recruited and men are encouraged to work on the farms. Women are responsible for childbirth and housework. This strange requirement has been supported by many poor farmers in the north.
San Jose even plans to organize awards for heroic mothers. Northern Argentina itself is feudal and closed, and the idea of having more children and more blessings is relatively prevalent.
Think about the fact that Arturo, the current Vice Chairman of the Radical Party, has more than ten brothers and sisters in his family. Now there are only two or three brothers and sisters in Argentina’s cities. For example, Commander Tomps’ family has two children. It can be seen that a generation only needs to move from the countryside to the city. , the fertility rate is in dire decline.
If you want to have more children, you should look to the north of Argentina, where land reform can develop in the future and sweep the Caudillos into the dustbin of history.
The land in the north has a population carrying capacity of more than 50 million people. He will not give up on the northern development strategy. If the Radical Party does not support it, then he will rely on his own methods to change the rule of the Caudillos over northern farmers.
With the military support of Thunder Cross, this goal will not be far away. At first, Saint Jose even planned to organize farmers to resist Caudillo. Anyway, he had guns and men, but this might cause national division and war, which was not appropriate.
The La Plata Steel Plant is still under construction, and San Jose is keeping a close eye on it, so it doesn't pay much attention to it. The good news is that it will definitely be able to produce steel and molten iron this year.
After his trip to the United States, Sanjesé began to plan to help each company and factory build a professional manager system, which has never happened in Argentina.
At present, various factories are severely emasculated, which also limits the rapid development of factories and companies to a certain extent.
After arranging the development goals of major factories this year, we are planning to acquire a bank as a small goal this year.
This will replace today's increasingly bloated and complex financial centers, which are San Jose's way of controlling major companies and factories.
In addition to financial and personnel rights, Saint Hesse also plans to upgrade and establish a consortium.
Otherwise, when the company becomes stronger and stronger, it will become a monster sooner or later.
This needs to be sorted out as soon as possible.
Don't rush, just take your time.
...
After the meeting, St. Jose continued to be busy non-stop. It was a dream that many things in the factory could develop on their own by just leaving the hands of the boss.
He has established his own control system, three major power systems of personnel, finance, and organization, as well as Falcon's intelligence construction for its companies, plus St. Hesse's development plan for the factory, so as to avoid detours.
Adding up more than a dozen factories, large and small, the number of people is close to more than 20,000. This is because the steel factory does not have enough workers.
As soon as the steel plant starts operation, 30,000 front-line employees will be prepared.
When Horst was transporting American tank parts to an industrial town called Rennes, he also followed the inventory of various parts. It occurred to him that there are currently no diesel tanks in the United States, and most of them use gasoline engines. , even Germany uses gasoline engines.
He thought that the tanks produced by the United States during World War II all used diesel engines, and the people in the tank design bureau did not realize that only diesel engines were the future development trend. This was a wonderful misunderstanding.
St. Hesse also found that he still underestimated the difficulty of designing the next generation of main battle tanks, at least for a backward country.
An excellent tank engine must have the characteristics of strong low torque, wide torque range, normal use under large temperature differences between hot and cold, and continuous high-load operation for a long time, which is a great test of a country's industrial level.
Most people now do not realize that diesel engines have a more important role than gasoline engines, and that is the application in the defense industry.
Fortunately, he now has a tractor factory and a shipyard that also need power systems, and they all use diesel engines.
A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses diesel as fuel. It is a compression ignition engine. It is often called a Diesel engine after its main inventor, Diesel.
For marine, locomotive, vehicle, agricultural machinery, and engineering machinery, the current diesel engines are actually not very popular, mainly because the technology is not in place.
San Jose in the United States has also established a connection with Spain. San Jose is about to develop Sanhai Shipbuilding and Thunder Shield Tractor Factory.
In fact, to this extent, the three things have come together.
Tractors and tanks both require more powerful diesel engines.
Shipyards can still outsource diesel engines now, but they will also need their own diesel engines in the future. In the future, developing their own heavy trucks and even missile launch vehicles will require very powerful diesel engine power systems.
Establishing a diesel engine production factory, as long as there is a power system, everything else is easy.
Sanhai Shipyard currently uses imported diesel engines, mainly importing the required previous-generation Perkins diesel engines from the UK. Not only are they expensive, but their quality and lifespan cannot be guaranteed.
But it is much better than the current Argentine fishing boats.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, San Jose decided to establish a diesel engine factory and introduce foreign technology and production lines.
Diesel engines are essential products for the development of heavy industry. At present, it is best for Argentina to introduce several new generation diesel engine production lines.
At present, the countries with better development of diesel technology in the world are still the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union.
In 1951, the German MAN F8 became an economic miracle for young West Germany with its V8 engine of 180 horsepower.
Japan's Mitsubishi and Sweden's Volvo, of which Volvo is a company in the emerging truck field, but currently mainly in the light truck field.
Why is St. Hesse so urgent? Because the diesel engine is not difficult to say. It has been around for a long time. Even many backward countries can develop it. Now is a good opportunity for development.
In the 1930s, diesel engines were already installed on cars, but it was heavy machinery and armored vehicles that really provided the stage for diesel engines.
Of course, the Americans are also aware of the potential of diesel engines. The two camps are engaged in a constant arms race in terms of tank power, which has invisibly accelerated the development of diesel engine technology.
.....
The current diesel engine industrial production line is not very advanced, but it is a major benefit for Saint-Jesse, which will help Saint-Jesse establish a catching-up advantage.
At least a small country like Sweden, with Volvo, can develop advanced diesel engine industry, heavy truck industry, and defense and military industry, proving that a country with a small population can be world-class.
Until the 21st century, Sweden's population was only about 10 million, so why not Argentina.
A more critical factor in the strength of Swedish military technology is that Sweden has top technologies in the military industry and related industries.
Although Sweden's total population is very small, almost the same as a city, Sweden is a world leader in metallurgy, materials, machinery, electronics, communications and other fields.
San Jose is not the president of Argentina now, and he does not have the ability to formulate various economic development plans.
To climb Argentina's technology tree, his development ideas are gradually evolving.
Now we have to start with the military industry. Compared with basic industries such as steel, mining, and textiles, the military industry involves higher technological content, and military-civilian integration is the future trend, which promotes and improves each other.
Argentina learns from Mexico and Brazil, and it is more about establishing appropriate systems, centralizing power, and developing science and technology ideas, and it requires multiple references.
There are not many ways to rise from a small country. The Nordic development model is an important reference. Mexico and Brazil are more negative examples and representatives of de-industrialization.
The Japanese model is also a good reference for development, as is the Soviet model, and the small country Sweden and Finland.
Now we are walking on two legs, and with sufficient external financial support, it will be easy to develop.
For example, small countries like Sweden and Finland have world-class advanced companies such as Volvo, Saab, Nokia, and Ericsson in later generations. This is something Argentina can learn from.
Sweden even developed its own nuclear industry and nuclear weapons. Later Sweden had its own aviation industry, nuclear industry, automobile manufacturing industry, and derived military industries. It was a top student in a small industrialized country.
For Europeans, a population of 50 million is the foundation of a big country, and Sweden really has no chance of becoming a big country.
This is a good partner for cooperation. It is a permanently neutral country without any conflicts. Introduction and cooperation are both negotiable.
This also proves that Argentina can sustainably develop and grow before it reaches a population of 50 million.
.....
Saint-Jesse summoned the managers of the Tractor Factory, Sanhai Shipyard, and Rennes Tank Factory to continue the meeting.
"Guys, we need to merge and build a diesel engine plant that belongs to us Argentines."
In order to reduce duplication of construction and adapt to future development, Saint-Jesse plans to build an independent diesel engine factory. It will not be affiliated to any company or factory, but there will be three factories that will jointly provide personnel for joint research and development.
"Boss, why don't we build a gasoline-fuel engine? Isn't it easier to use and easier to use? Moreover, diesel engines have many shortcomings. Apart from fishing boats, our tractor factory does not really need diesel engines."
"Yes, it is actually very suitable to use a fuel engine for a tank." Horst also said.
"Your ideas are limited. Let me tell you in detail why we need diesel engines."
