Since the central government classified the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau as a subordinate of the Central Bank, some people in the manufacturing bureau seem to be unstable. Everyone is familiar with Fang Zida. Nanjing is not far from Shanghai, and in addition to the news that has been making waves some time ago

Reports include killing Lin Hu, seizing military power, fighting Zhang Xun, beating Chen Qimei, the son-in-law of President Yuan Da, the general manager of the Central Bank... etc. This news has spread long ago.

Some time ago, news came from Nanjing that Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, and Zhao Hengti, the commander of the Eighth Division, conspired to seize power. Unexpectedly, Fang Zida suddenly took action and decisively captured them on the spot. The entire Eighth Division fell into Fang Zida's control in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the Eighth Division is intensively beginning the reorganization of the National Defense Force these days. It is said that Fang Zida will come to Shanghai after handling the affairs of the Eighth Division.

Today, the supervisor of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is Army Major General Chen Fu. He graduated from the Ordnance Department of Tokyo Imperial University in Japan and is proficient in mathematics and physics. He was a famous ordnance expert in the Republic of China. After the founding of the Republic of China, Chen Fu was specially assigned by the central government to Jiangnan Manufacturing

He served as the supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau and fully presided over the work of the Manufacturing Bureau. Although he had the ambition to revitalize the Chinese labor force, he was constantly troubled by problems such as funding, personnel, equipment, etc., and the overall work of the Manufacturing Bureau did not improve much in the past year.

Chen Fu, as the supervisor, did not react much to the fact that Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was now placed under the central bank and directly under Fang Zida. In his heart, he even thought it was a good thing. One of the biggest problems plaguing the manufacturing bureau was its people.

The second is funding. If he can get financial support from the central bank in the future, Chen Fu doesn't care whether Fang Zida or Yuan Zida comes.

However, although Chen Fu knew about Fang Zida, he had never been in contact with him, and he was even less clear about Fang Zida’s attitude towards the manufacturing bureau. Regarding Fang Zida’s upcoming arrival, Chen Fu even felt a little complicated. He hoped that Fang Zida’s

His arrival could bring changes to the manufacturing bureau, but he was worried that Fang Zida, like those bureaucrats who didn't understand shit, would bring down the manufacturing bureau in order to seize power.

"Sir, there is a gentleman named Fang who wants to see you." Chen Fu's secretary knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that Chen Fu was concentrating on checking a rifle drawing, he approached and said softly.

"Fang? What's your name?" Chen Fu asked without raising his head, his eyes still on the drawing, and he was still making modifications with a pencil in his hand.

"The other party has not signed up, but..." the secretary hesitated: "I guess it is General Manager Fang of the Central Bank?"

"General Manager Fang? You mean Fang Zida?" Chen Fu asked in surprise, and put down the drawing in his hand involuntarily.

The secretary shook his head and indicated that he was just guessing. After thinking for a moment, Chen Fu nodded and asked him to bring the guest. As expected, when the visitor entered the office, he approached Chen Fu with a smile, shook hands, and introduced himself. This person was indeed

It was Chen Fu's new superior, Fang Zida and Fang Zhangming.

Chen Fu was a little surprised that Fang Zida came to the manufacturing bureau in such a low-key manner. He quickly greeted Fang Zida to take a seat and asked his secretary to serve tea quickly.

"Mr. Le Shu, you don't have to be polite. Zida is being reckless, so please don't worry about it, Mr. Le Shu." Fang Zida said with a smile after taking the tea.

Listening to Fang Zida calling himself sir, Chen Fu suddenly felt an inexplicable fondness for Fang Zida. As a supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau and an army major general, Chen Fu usually did not take these two prominent identities to heart, but instead paid more attention to them.

Like to let others call him "sir", perhaps this is Chen Fu's special mentality as a technical expert. It seems that Fang Zida had already inquired about this habit of his before coming.

"Mr. Fang, when did you arrive in Shanghai?" Chen Fu took out two cigarettes from the chimney and handed one to Fang Zida, asking in a calm manner.

"Mr. Le Shu, you don't need to call me that, just call me Zhang Ming." After taking the cigarette, Fang Zida struck a match and helped Chen Fu light it first, and said with a smile: "I've been here for a few days, because there are some things at hand that need to be dealt with first, so I'm here to visit.

It's a little late, Mr. Le Shu, don't you blame me?"

"Haha, how could it be?" Chen Fu waved his hand and smiled, and then asked politely: "Brother Zhangming, this time the central government placed the manufacturing bureau under the Central Bank. I would like to first ask the central bank about the work of the manufacturing bureau.

Are there any plans? In other words, how much funding can the central bank allocate to the manufacturing bureau every year?”

"What? Mr. Le Shu asked for money when he saw me?" Fang Zida didn't expect that this would be the case when he met Chen Fang, and he laughed a little unexpectedly.

But Chen Fu said seriously: "Of course, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The funds of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau have always been insufficient. Taking last year as an example, the annual funding was only 150,000 taels of silver. With such a small amount of money, let alone expanding production, even

I can barely maintain it. I used to reach out to the central government for this money, but now that you are my superior, who can I turn to if I don’t ask you?"

"Mr. Le Shu is quite frank." Fang Zida nodded. He knew about the lack of funds in the manufacturing bureau. However, Fang Zida did not directly agree to Chen Fu's funding issue. Instead, he asked: "From what Mr. Le Shu has seen, what is the manufacturing bureau's lack of funds?"

Is the bureau’s problem just a funding issue?”

Chen Fu was slightly stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Of course not!" Fang Zida answered for him and said straightforwardly: "I also know a little bit about the situation of the manufacturing bureau. In addition to funding, there are also personnel, structure, efficiency, etc. If these problems are not solved, Le Shu

Do you think that as long as you have money, you can run the manufacturing bureau? If this is the case, the investment and expectations for the manufacturing bureau during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were much higher than today. Why is the manufacturing bureau still like this?

"

"How can this be generalized?" After hearing what Fang Zida said, Chen Fu retorted: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now it is the Republic of China!"

"Actually, they are all the same..." Waving his hand, Fang Zida said pleasantly: "State-owned enterprises, no matter how state-owned they are, are all the same at heart. Mr. Le Shu's professional achievements have always been admired by younger generations, but when it comes to business methods,

Come, I’m afraid things will be different.”

After briefly talking about the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, Fang Zida pointed out the various problems faced by the manufacturing bureau. He presented examples one by one, which left Chen Fu speechless. To be fair, Chen Fu also knew some of the situations, but similarly

It's something he can't change.

"After the manufacturing bureau belongs to the central bank, it is certain that the central bank will allocate funds. However, the future operations of the manufacturing bureau must not be as normal as before, otherwise it will never become a success." Fang Zida said at the end, Chen Fu's eyes lit up and he asked quickly

: "Brother Zhang Ming, what do you think?"

"I can't talk about it, Gao Jian, but I just want to discuss something with Mr. Le Shu first to see if it's feasible."

"Please tell me." At this point, Chen Fu felt that Fang Zida was actually quite talented and learned. He was not just a bureaucrat who only competed for power and profit as imagined. He couldn't help but adjust his mentality and made a gesture of listening.

Fang Zida's idea was very practical. He ignored other parts of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and started with the ordnance factory. He planned to separate the Jinling Ordnance Institute from the Nanjing Manufacturing Bureau and merge it with the Shanghai Naval Ordnance Factory to reorganize a new ordnance factory.

The factory is mainly engaged in the R&D and manufacturing of basic weapons such as firearms, artillery, and ammunition. As for other parts, we will leave them as they are for the time being and will talk about them later.

As soon as Fang Zida finished speaking about his plan, Chen Fu became anxious: "Where are the steel mills and shipyards? Should we just leave them alone? You must know that these are the two most important parts of the manufacturing bureau?"

"Mr. Le Shu, you have to eat one bite at a time and do things bit by bit. The central bank was just established and the country's finances were not abundant, so it is impossible for investment in the manufacturing bureau to fully bloom. Besides, if we don't solve it,

Under the premise of the questions raised above, how much of the invested funds do you think can be used for practical purposes?"

"This..." Chen Fu frowned, how could this method be possible? The manufacturing bureau is one, and a single move can affect the whole body. It would be strange if it doesn't cause trouble down below. Why can some people eat meat while others can only drink it?

Soup?

Fang Zida took a sip of tea and smiled when he saw Chen Fu's expression: "Actually, the investment in the ordnance factory will not be very large, and the future operations will be different from before. If Mr. Le Shu is worried that some people will cause trouble, he can

No, I think they will be eager to ask to leave the ordnance factory soon."

Fang Zida's words made Chen Fu confused at all. How could Fang Zida be so sure? But a few days later, he understood why Fang Zida said this.

On the second day after visiting Chen Fu, Fang Zida officially took over the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in the name of the general manager of the Central Bank. Subsequently, the Manufacturing Bureau Management Office was established, and Chen Fu concurrently served as the director of the Management Bureau as the former Supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau. Then, Fang Zida

He convened the management of various factories, shipyards and enterprises under the Manufacturing Bureau to start his state-owned enterprise restructuring work. The first target of the restructuring was the ordnance factory. Fang Zida announced that from now on, the Shanghai Naval Ordnance Factory and Jinling Ordnance Factory would be merged into one

After the reorganization is completed within the month and separated from the Manufacturing Bureau, from now on, the new ordnance factory will be self-financing and will no longer be funded by the Manufacturing Bureau Administration. As for the other factories, they will remain as they are, with funds allocated by the Central Bank from the management.

, the normal operation system remains unchanged for the time being.

After the news was announced, there was a huge uproar on the spot. Except for a few officers from the ordnance station who were like eggplants beaten by frost, those who were originally worried were all happy and relieved at last.
