Lin Sanqi said to Commander Wang frankly:
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll give you a note later. Go to the Tuyang warehouse and get 10,000 tons of grain. With grain in hand, you won't be panicked, haha.
In addition, you can go to the Tuyang warehouse to get pork every day. The weather in Bao'an County is quite hot, so we can't give you too much at once, otherwise it will go bad."
As soon as Lin Sanqi finished speaking, the officers of the 6th Iron Division in the tent all looked surprised.
Leaders all like to paint a rosy picture, even those in the 1960s.
Now that Lin Sanqi has actually taken out food and pork, everyone feels relieved.
At the same time, Lin Sanqi kept his word and established his reputation as a trustworthy person.
Wang Changtian also felt relieved, thinking that as long as no one starved to death, otherwise he would be ashamed to face his soldiers.
"Commissioner Lin, let's talk about work. We've already prepared a sand table during these few days of waiting. Take a look. This is the sand table for the entire Bao'an County, and this is the sand table for Shatoujiao and Yantian.
We will absolutely obey Commissioner Lin's plan for which new area to build and how to build it, without any objections."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, after all, this is our army. They are so decisive and efficient in doing things. They do things as soon as they say they will, and they have brought the army's fine style with them.
"Alright, these two sand tables have really given me a new perspective on the Sixth Iron Division. Li Yujie, bring me my information as well."
Li Yujie brought over a box of blueprints, while Bai Ruli brought over a color bird's-eye view panoramic view.
"Commander Wang, everyone, please look at this map. This is Phoenix Mountain, right here on the sand table. This is Sha Tau Kok, and this is the salt pan.
First of all, I need you to build Sha Tau Kok into a drug production park as quickly as possible.
Look at the blueprints. Everything has been designed there. The roads, factory buildings, employee dormitories, including a new cinema, etc., are all planned in detail. You just need to follow the blueprints completely.
In addition, we need to build a raw material factory by the sea, which will have higher requirements, so you need to understand the drawings thoroughly.
You guys take care of the infrastructure. Engineers will come and help with the installation of the machines. I've given you two months to complete this task. Do you think that's enough time, Commander Wang?"
Lin Sanqi needs to produce medicines as quickly as possible so that he can recover his funds as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will not be able to support tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of thousands of people in the future.
Drug production requires a clean room, but this standard, which was decades later, was simply impossible to achieve in the 1960s.
Therefore, the pharmaceutical factory building that Lin Sanqi needs only needs to be clean and tidy, made entirely of cement to ensure that there is no dust.
Besides, even if a little dust gets into the drug during production, what's the problem? It won't kill you. The key is to ensure that you have the medicine to take and stay alive.
As for the toxic wastewater from the raw material factory, there is no way to build a new sewage treatment plant for the time being, otherwise the project will become larger and larger and Lin Sanqi will not be able to handle it.
Sewage can only be discharged directly into the sea.
There is an advantage here that is not an advantage, that is, there are no fishing boats in the entire Bao'an County and Huiyang County. Maybe it is because they are afraid that someone will sneak across the country by boat. As a result, the coastal residents of Bao'an have no sea fish to eat.
As for the main fishing port for Hong Kong people, it is also in Stanley Port in the south, so the impact of sea water pollution is not too great.
Commander Wang discussed with his subordinates and felt that building 5 square kilometers of roads and factories for 20,000 to 30,000 people would not be a big problem.
Lin Sanqi does not have very high requirements for construction standards, as long as it can be used.
After a few years when the industrial park is fully developed, we can slowly demolish and rebuild it bit by bit. It’s not a big deal.
"Commissioner Lin, rest assured, as long as diesel, cement, steel bars and other construction materials are available, we guarantee that the infrastructure will be completed within two months."
"I've already prepared 100,000 tons of rebar and cement. I haven't prepared any diesel yet, but don't worry, it will be there soon. I also have an urgent task, which is to build a new power plant. I need you to allocate a team of several thousand people to me."
Commander Wang laughed heartily: "Don't worry, these 30,000 of us are under your command. We will fight wherever you say and will absolutely obey your orders."
After returning to the county from Sha Tau Kok, Lin Sanqi rushed to the guesthouse without stopping.
Here live 50 engineers and technical workers who came from the Shijingshan Power Plant in the capital to support the border areas.
Although the superiors did not openly support Lin Sanqi's economic development in Bao'an County, they tried their best to meet any requests made by Lin Sanqi.
Because the superiors also knew that if the Bao'an County Industrial Zone was really successful, the biggest beneficiary would not be the Lin family, but the country.
As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the guesthouse, Xiong Guoyuan, deputy director of Shijingshan Power Plant, was already waiting there.
Xiong Guoyuan is also fifty years old, but his current rank is only department level, far inferior to Lin Sanqi, so his attitude is very humble.
Lin Sanqi walked hurriedly and apologized before even shaking hands:
"Director Xiong, I'm sorry, I was on a business trip to Hong Kong a few days ago and was unable to meet you. Please forgive me."
Xiong Guoyuan didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he politely shook Lin Sanqi's hand:
"Commissioner Lin, no, no, you are busy with work, unlike us, who just read books in the guesthouse and have not made any contribution to Bao'an County.
As soon as we arrived in Bao'an, you not only treated us to delicious food and wine, but also gave us three sets of clothes and shoes. This, this makes us feel so embarrassed. We should not accept gifts without doing anything."
In order to retain talents in Bao'an County, Lin Sanqi's approach is to throw money at them, oh, or rather, throw materials at them.
You don't have enough food or meat to eat in the mainland? Okay, I'll fill you up.
You can't afford clothes in your hometown, can't get cloth coupons? Well, each person will be given three sets of clothes, each with different styles, so you can wear whatever you want.
Are you worried that your skills won't be put to good use once you reach the Bao'an frontier? Come, let us show you our grand plan.
If we satisfy them materially, give these intellectuals the greatest respect, and even provide personal protection to some special people, we will not believe that they will not stay.
Lin Sanqi looked at the dozens of other engineers and technical workers present and quickly clasped his hands together.
"I'm sorry for neglecting you all. You've all come from far away, so I'll treat you all to lunch today. Let's eat and drink well, and then we'll need your help. I brought back a few generators from abroad, and I'm an outsider who can't handle them, so I'll rely on you all."
Director Xiong is a pure technical engineer, and he was tempted when he heard about foreign engines:
"Commissioner Lin, can I ask what the power of the generators Bao'an County has prepared?"
Lin Sanqi pulled everyone to sit down and replied:
"Some are 300,000 kilowatts, and some are 600,000 kilowatts. My idea is that since we don't have experience with large generator sets in China, we should first assemble two 300,000-kilowatt generators to gain some experience.
I calculated that the 600,000-kilowatt generators can generate 15 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, which translates to 5.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, more than enough to power the Bao'an County Industrial Zone and the entire Dongguang Province power grid.
The engineers on the scene were all stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
Director Xiong's voice was trembling:
"Commissioner Lin, did I hear correctly? How much power is that? 300,000 kilowatts per unit? And they installed two at once?"
You know that our Shijingshan Power Plant supplies electricity to the entire capital. Currently, we have only installed five 12,000-kilowatt units made in Germany and three 30,000-kilowatt units made in Sweden.
The total capacity is only 150,000 kilowatts, and yet, it's already the largest power plant in China. You said your Bao'an County power plant is planning to install a 600,000-kilowatt generator set?
Oh my god, it feels like a dream. How is this possible? How much electricity does Baoan County use in a year? I'm afraid the entire Dongguang Province can't use that much electricity."
Lin Sanqi said calmly:
"Power supply is the foundation of the industrial zone's construction. Of course, I have to prepare for capacity expansion from the outset. Otherwise, if power runs out later, it will be too much trouble to expand. It's not like I can't get generators."
In the 1950s and 1960s, China was not able to manufacture generators on its own and all had to be imported from abroad. Each one was very precious.
However, the country is poor and cannot afford high-power generators, which leads to low industrial efficiency.
Industrial efficiency is low and no money can be made, which means there is even less money to buy generators, forming a vicious cycle.
If machine tools are the hens of industry, then electricity is the feed. Without electricity, there would be no industry. This is why Lin Sanqi bought the generator first and then the production line. (End of this chapter)
