The rumor of "the world becoming a floating island" spread quickly, and people in the surrounding areas had heard about it. When the news was further away, the news was a little distorted, such as "the earth is going to fly" and so on.
Little people can only listen casually to such remarks about the "world" and mix up the topic.
Those who are more capable will either ignore it or send someone to trace the source.
The communicator behind the scenes didn't hide much, and it soon became known that the news came from the Social Investigation Agency.
"What's going on? Official rumors?"
"Let's find a fortune teller and ask."
"I asked, and the prophet almost died on the spot, and he didn't reply. There's something big going on inside."
"Maybe it means the truth?"
The group under discussion is the "Devil World Attack and Defense Interest Group" in Fenggu Industrial Zone.
It was said to be a hobby group, but the people sitting there were all business owners, as well as ordinary members, but they couldn't play with a group of people who play board games with dozens of decks of cards and put together a deck.
Speaking of "Demon World Attack and Defense", after more than two years of updates, the card format and game rules have become more perfect. There is also a competition sponsored by the card factory every year. The top three can get a bonus of 20,000 yuan in total, even though Feng Gu's basic monthly salary is now It has risen to almost 80, and 20,000 is also very impressive.
It’s just that when it comes to recent rumors today, no one is very interested in playing cards.
"If the kingdom turns into floating islands, how will we do business in the future?"
There are many knowledgeable people among entrepreneurs who realize that the rumors may be true and immediately think of logistics problems.
The entire production system of the Phoenix Kingdom is based on the transportation capacity advantage of the railway. Without transportation capacity, the amount of raw materials is not enough, and it is not clear how to ship the goods.
"I'm still thinking about business right now. I need to save some money quickly, otherwise I won't have anywhere to cry when the factory collapses."
"Yeah!"
"We have so many factories. If we all join together and invite masters to come, it shouldn't be a big problem to preserve the basic integrity of the industrial zone."
Some people plan to retreat bravely, while others want to continue to defend their gains. Both sides have reasons and methods.
Someone reminded: "But we don't know what will happen specifically. What if the industrial area faces the floor under the floating island after flying?"
"It is indeed a problem."
"How about being more conservative?"
Several people wanted to change their minds, but suddenly noticed that Didion was silent, so they asked: "Didion, give me an idea."
Didion, who was just a relatively wealthy man a few years ago, is now a big shot. Because the railway bureau's affordable passenger transport commission is well managed, he even recently obtained the exclusive right to use a Type IV steam locomotive.
Although steam locomotives seem a bit outdated nowadays, there are many people who are jealous of them.
Due to the huge carrying capacity of diesel locomotives, the relevant pneumatic braking technology has not kept up. Because the braking distance is too long, it has not yet obtained a passenger transport permit. In other words, even if it is entrusted with passenger compartment transportation, it cannot match the diesel locomotive head. The 500-horsepower Type IV steam locomotive is the best passenger locomotive now. It is better than the early models in every aspect. And everyone has heard from people at the Railway Bureau that Fatel has only purchased two units, and they are still early 400-horsepower models. .
The exclusive use rights are even more outrageous. It is actually equivalent to Didion buying three steam locomotives of this model, but they still have to obey the railway bureau's train timetable management.
The restriction for Type 4 vehicles is that the maximum load capacity of the twelve carriages is 200 tons, excluding the wheels of the frame. If the total transport capacity of the twelve carriages is less than 200 tons, three additional standard cargo boxes are allowed.
This means that Didion's passenger transport company actually obtained a license to transport passengers and cargo.
The point is that Didion quietly paid for it with his own money, and no one else even knew about it. This form means that even if the diesel locomotive gets the passenger transport license in the future, his passenger transport company will still be the preferred partner, and everyone else will. Gotta line up behind him.
Now everyone knows that he is a big shot who can spend hundreds of thousands to buy a car. Naturally, they have to admit his original vision, so some people will ask him what he thinks.
Didian looked at these people with a frown on his face: "If cities are separated in the future and the railways cannot be used, shouldn't we make more money now? Calculate carefully, how short is the current raw material and output cycle? , does it mean that if the money is turned around in it, it will turn over?"
In fact, Didian himself has no burden. Three locomotives are indeed not cheap, but he is in the transportation industry, not manufacturing. He can only make money by continuing to operate. As for those engaged in manufacturing, they will hoard a large amount of funds in the production of goods. If they want to withdraw, they will inevitably reduce their production capacity. Once the production capacity is reduced, won't they also make less money?
And he really didn’t mean to harm his friends. Everyone has seen the transportation capacity of diesel locomotives after they came online. Businessmen outside are urging the lords to expand roads. It is conceivable that the total demand for materials outside in the past year or two will continue. Climb, cut production at this time?
If you don't like the feeling of being rich, who will be a business owner? If you have ideals, you probably won't be able to find one in the entire industrial zone.
So after hearing Didion's logic, those who had been shaken before felt uncomfortable.
"That's right. If we all withdraw, won't the money be made by others?"
"Then...otherwise we should find a reliable prophet to find out when the accident will happen?"
The wavering without any attitude is not because of the outburst of the wallflower personality. Several of them are directors of Rainbow Group.
Gold Chemical has already achieved mass production of butyl rubber muggle equipment and is in the process of increasing production capacity. Rainbow Tire and Rainbow Chemical are affected by this and are about to enter a period of explosive business growth. At this time, it is difficult to find a way out. .
The main concern about money being made by others is butyl rubber. Its processing threshold is very low. In the so-called high-temperature and high-pressure vulcanization process, the temperature is less than 300 degrees and the pressure is very limited. It can be produced using many local methods. If Rainbow Tire does not take over the rubber from Golden Chemical, some people will use it to make tires. For sealing rings and shock absorbers, at most, there is no experience in the field of radial hollow tires. Most of them are tires for ordinary livestock trucks and tractors, and hollow tires are not the only choice.
Part of Rainbow Chemical's additional growth is linked to hollow tires. The company has achieved self-production of adhesives between cords and cord layers, which can effectively increase tire profit margins.
In addition, new progress has been made in the subsequent synthesis of ammonia and synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, which is the real weapon for making money.
The original intention of Caihong Chemical was to meet the official ammonia industry-related needs, such as nitric acid, mercury fulminate, etc. However, official procurement is actually a drag on a factory with such a huge investment, and it has to rely on other types of products to make money. The guidance document at that time mentioned the multi-line development of synthetic ammonia, including two paths for nitrogen fertilizer.
Caihong Chemical spent a lot of money on hiring alchemists and took both paths, and then truly obeyed the vague and general guidance.
The two lines are to produce nitrogen fertilizer from ammonia, and the other is to produce nitrogen fertilizer from asphalt. The former consumes a lot of energy and the conversion rate is not high, and the latter... Because asphalt is garbage that everyone is eager to get rid of in Quanquan City, those who build roads There is no charge for picking up goods from there, just travel expenses.
Now that the chemical industry has joined in, they pay fifty yuan a ton, and people are rushing to sell it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is free money.
Can Rainbow Tire and Rainbow Chemical be let go?
In any case, production capacity cannot be relaxed. At most, the expansion of facilities should be more stable.
