Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

"Currently, our Dafengtang has only been able to ship over twenty pistols and two submachine guns. We don't even have enough for our own use, let alone selling them to others for profit."

"Unless we cooperate with local gangs and use the secret transportation channels they have built over decades, we will have a chance to transport large quantities of supplies in."

"Regarding the medicine, it's easy to transport it, but we don't have the corresponding sales channels. Furthermore, there are many medicines for sale on the black market, and the quality is exactly the same as ours. It goes without saying who the manufacturer is."

After hearing this, Mr. Cui Si suddenly understood, but now there was another problem before him. The water in Shanghai was too muddy, and ordinary people really couldn't grasp it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. After getting permission, a middle-aged man walked in with a telegram.

"Master, our communications department just received a highly encrypted telegram. According to regulations, we are not authorized to decipher this level of telegram. You must do it yourself."

Mr. Cui Si was also stunned when he heard this. This kind of special encrypted telegram is very rare. According to the rules he set, only the telegrams used to communicate with Kong Hao were of this kind, and the code book was completely different from the others.

At the same time, Kong Hao was quite busy and rarely sent telegrams. The most recent one was about the handover of materials in Tianjin a few months ago.

Now that they received this kind of telegram, Mr. Cui Si was extremely excited. Once they received this kind of telegram, it would mean unlimited opportunities.

Kong Hao would not normally send a telegram, and he had specifically instructed that Dafengtang should not take the initiative to send a telegram to him, mainly because he was afraid of trouble.

Last time, in order to open up a material transportation line, Kong Hao sent a telegram to Mr. Cui Si, which brought huge benefits to Dafengtang.

The reason why the Tianjin Li family and the Sihai Gang were so polite to the Dafengtang, in addition to the threat from the mysterious force, was because the Dafengtang could bring enough benefits to the other two families.

Take the Li family for example. Their main business is to import various industrial products from abroad and then sell them back to the domestic market at high prices. However, since the Japanese invaded, this business has not been easy to do.

After all, those foreigners are very cunning. They want to make money but don't want to take more risks. Therefore, the goods imported from abroad are now half of what they were before, but the price is twice as high. They still have an arrogant look and don't care whether they buy or not, which makes the Li family very angry.

But the Li family had no choice. In the past, as long as they brought back supplies from abroad, no matter how backward and outdated the items were, they could find buyers in China and make a lot of money by reselling them.

But now the times have changed, and the Li family is also thinking about transformation. They cannot rely on one tree to survive, but it is too difficult to do this in Tianjin.

Just when everyone in the Li family was worried about the family's future, Dafengtang came to their rescue and brought them some great news.

In order to open up the material circulation of the base, Kong Hao specially built a number of factories along the coast of Kangaroo Country, and also recruited a large number of Chinese people from Southeast Asian countries. The wages he offered were quite high, about twice that of the local people in Kangaroo Country.

Although this move has also caused dissatisfaction among many local people, after all, the Chinese have always been a relatively weak existence. In the past, even if they were engaged in the same job, the salary, benefits and welfare of both parties were different.

But now it is completely different. Kong Hao has specially formulated standards to increase the wages and benefits of Chinese workers.

Of course, doing so would certainly cause strong dissatisfaction in the Kangaroo Country, and a special protest was held, with even the local city hall stepping in.

Originally, Kong Hao wanted to refuse firmly. After all, the salary offered by working in his factory was much higher than the local average. It was outrageous that these foreigners were still not satisfied.

The worst that could happen is to fire all these people and recruit a new group of obedient people, but in the end it was the old butler who came up with a good idea.

Chinese people and people from Kangaroo Country can get equal pay for equal work in their factories, but we can give an extra 50% of the wages as subsidies to Chinese employees, under the pretext that it is not easy for Chinese people to leave their hometowns and make a living outside, so it is reasonable to give them more compensation. Another 50% can be distributed as year-end bonuses, which is also reasonable.

Moreover, all senior management of the factory must be Chinese, and people from Kangaroo Country can only reach the level of production line leader at most.

At the beginning, most Chinese people had no management experience. After all, in the past hundred years, Chinese people in Southeast Asia had been doing the dirtiest and most tiring work and had no chance to enter the factory management level.

But in the factory opened by Kong Hao, there is no need to worry about this at all. If there is no management experience, it can be cultivated. All you need to do is learn more and observe more.

There are special night school training classes in the factory, and a lot of money is spent to hire local management talents to provide professional training for China's future factory managers.

The Chinese nation is the most outstanding nation in the world, and all Chinese people are the most diligent and studious. It’s just that they didn’t have the corresponding opportunities in the past. Now that the opportunity has come, the selected people will definitely study hard. It is not an exaggeration to say that they forget to eat and sleep at that time.

At first, the elites of the Kangaroo Country were unwilling to teach their unique skills to the Chinese, but we gave too much, and there were many people willing to teach, so they had no capital to refuse.

Of course, in order to conceal his tracks, Kong Hao appointed a person from Niu Niu Country as the general manager of the group, so that he could have an explanation to the outside world. However, this person was specially recruited by Kong Hao through the system, which means he is one of our own.

After this operation, basically all aspects were taken into consideration, and even the city councilors from Kangaroo Country had nothing to say.

After all, the factory is ours, and we just need to pay taxes according to the standard. If you keep complaining, Kangaroo Country is so big, and there are more than one place with ports and land. We can move to other places, and then we will lose everything.

He also worried a lot about the circulation of goods in the base. In addition to meeting the needs of the troops, our industry also sells various goods to the public as much as possible to recover various development funds.

However, many of our bases were established very recently, and the people's lives have just begun to improve. They basically have no savings and their purchasing power is limited.

As for other big cities, they do have the spending power, but that is not our territory. Even if we want to sell things at a low price, it will not have much effect in the short term.

So Kong Hao came up with a good idea, which was to let the housekeeper place a large order with the base in the name of the Kangaroo Country family, ordering a large number of mechanical parts, and then offset it by shipping back various materials.
