Li Yunhao began to think about the plan to open a factory.
With the current conditions, the military factory was the first factory that needed to be built.
Li Yunhao still lacked many basic industries, such as steel plants, cement plants, sand mining fields, and quarries. However, since Li Yunhao did not have any geological experts, how could he explore them? In order to figure out the distribution of resources, Li Yunhao could only buy it from the system. However, he found that among the products that the system could buy and trade, there was a map of the distribution of resources in the Chahar region. This map was very expensive. Just the Duolun region alone cost 50,000 silver dollars.
He could only pinch his nose and admit it. Therefore, Li Yunhao spent 50,000 silver dollars to buy the Duolun Resource Map. It was a comprehensive exploration, and those hidden mines would be detected.
After getting the distribution map, Li Yunhao was pleasantly surprised to find that there were three small iron mines on the map. One was a medium-sized iron mine with a reserve of more than ten million tons, one was a large coal mine with a reserve of hundreds of millions of tons, one was a small phosphorous mine, and there was also a huge limestone vein.
There were also gold, silver, and copper mines, as well as rare metal veins. However, they were scattered and the reserves were relatively small.
If there was iron ore, a steel factory could be set up to produce steel bars. Limestone could be used to produce cement, coal could be used to produce carbolic acid (nitrogen fertilizer), and phosphorous ore could be used to produce phosphorous fertilizer. Unfortunately, there was no potash ore. China's potash reserves were not much, and future generations would need to import it.
With cement, steel bars, and sand, they could build many basic facilities. The most urgent thing was to build a fortress. First, they had to build the Li Fortress to ensure their safety. Then, they had to build roads. The roads in Duolun needed to be improved. Otherwise, how could they develop?
Agriculture had nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers, which could increase crop production.、
At the same time, Li Yunhao also needed an arsenal that could at least be self-sufficient in ammunition, grenades, and other things. Once the army expanded to a certain extent, ammunition would also cost a lot of money.
Li Yunhao had transmigrated for more than a month, so he had a general understanding of the system. Buying was not the way to go. Who knew that the system would be gone one day? What would he do? Moreover, the trading system did not directly exchange eggs, but chickens.
No matter how cheap something was, it was not as cost-effective as producing it himself. Moreover, the points were used to exchange for those key technologies and equipment.
He even needed to leave some points and money to deal with possible changes in the war.
What Li Yunhao needed was nothing more than three aspects. One was finance. With the paper mill and the estimated cigarette factory to earn profits for him, finance should not be a problem for the time being.
The second aspect was the basic industry. The traffic in Duolun was so bad that the infrastructure needed to be overhauled. At the very least, the roads needed to be improved. This required building materials, such as steel bars, cement, and sand. In addition, they also needed energy, which meant that they had to generate electricity.
The third aspect was the military industry. At the very least, they had to solve the problem of bullets, grenades, and other things that did not have any technical surnames. They could rely on production to satisfy the huge demand.
First of all, the paper mill was a huge treasure trove.
You have to have packaging for the goods, right? This required all kinds of wrapping paper, and cigarettes also required a large amount of paper. At the same time, paper was a popular commodity with a wide market. Duolun did not lack raw materials for paper making, and there were straws everywhere.
Li Yunhao opened the Taobao Money Buying System and selected the Industry column. He then selected the paper category.
A large number of paper factories appeared in front of Li Yunhao.
It was roughly divided into two categories, one was special paper, and the other was ordinary paper. The specialty paper and ordinary paper factories were further divided into five levels of technology: backward, average, leading, beyond the era, and ultimate.
Other than the 'backward' level of factories, which were very cheap to build, the normal to the ultimate level of factories were not cheap.
For example, the Ultimate Paper Mill could produce 100,000 tons of ordinary paper per year with 10 employees. It would cost 2 million silver dollars to build such a paper mill.
At the same time, paper factories were also divided according to production capacity. The higher the production capacity, the more cost-effective it was. For example, a paper factory with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons was more cost-effective than building ten paper factories with a production capacity of 10,000 tons.
In addition, the processing of raw materials in the paper mill was also divided according to the type of raw materials. The raw materials processed were all different. Wood, grass, and bast fibers were mostly the same, but there were still differences.
A 100,000-ton paper mill was too much. A 10,000-ton paper mill should be so-so.
A small ordinary paper mill with an annual output of 10,000 tons would use 'ordinary' grade equipment. One would cost 30000 silver dollars. The raw materials would be straw and wood from grass plants. All these processing equipment would cost 30000 silver dollars.
In addition, the paper mill had its own sewage treatment plant. This paper mill required an investment of 10000 silver dollars. The sewage produced by the paper mill was a lot. If it was discharged into the river, it would cause pollution and kill a large number of fish and prawns.
If the trees were cut down, they could be replanted, but if the water source was polluted, it would be troublesome.
This paper mill used paper making technology from the 1920s. The cost was 30% higher than the best paper mill in Europe and the United States. After all, the technology in Europe and the United States was definitely ahead of five years ago. After Li Yunhao considered it, he spent 30000 silver dollars and chose to build this paper mill.
The site of the factory was chosen to be a flat land full of sand and stones near Dragon Village. The paper mill was estimated to cover an area of 30 acres. It used his own land, so Li Yunhao used it directly.
Li Yunhao looked at the system's introduction. It actually provided employment services. Choosing to hire was faster than building it himself.
