Chapter 1169: Yang Cheng's Business (1)
For the current Shanghai, the four words of gold everywhere are absolutely right, as long as you have the courage and ability, it is a high probability to make a fortune, if there is a little luck, then it is not impossible to become a rich man.
Such a Shanghai naturally attracts countless people to go, there are people like Yang Cheng who have a lot of money and are ready to come to Shanghai to build factories, businessmen from other places come here to do business, and similarly, there are all kinds of speculators, swindlers and even all kinds of criminals.
Although Shanghai's development is quite permitted, the size of the urban area is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the foreign population is huge, and many of these people who come to Shanghai to seek a living belong to the floating population, which is very difficult to manage.
This has also led to the fact that in recent years, Shanghai has developed more and more rapidly, but the problem of public security has also become more and more prominent.
This kind of public security problem naturally does not mean that there is a big right or wrong, riots, or the like, but that it refers to ordinary crimes, such as robbery, theft, fraud, and so on.
For ordinary businessmen and even ordinary workers, Shanghai is full of gold, and for these criminals, Shanghai is also full of opportunities to make a fortune.
Yang Cheng, it was in this kind of big back' that he was cheated of more than 8,000 taels of silver, although he reported the case as soon as possible, and the patrol police also filed a case for investigation as soon as possible, but those patrol police also told him very clearly that although they would have the energy to investigate, they still advised Yang Cheng not to have too much hope, and to be careful in doing business in the future, and not to be gullible.
Why did he not have too much hope for solving the case, it was because this kind of case is really difficult to solve.
In this year's case solving, no matter what the case, the means are very primitive and backward, don't expect to be able to use all kinds of surveillance to investigate and solve the case like later generations.
There are 200,000 or 300,000 floating people in Shanghai and its surroundings, and it is not easy to find out these scammers.
Yang Cheng was also very helpless when he heard such words, except for lamenting that the shopping mall was sinister, there was no other way, the money was cheated, what else could he do.
But although it was deceived, the factory still has to continue.
What he is going to set up is a glass factory, and now the domestic glass manufacturing process is very mature, and as a royal institute of technology with glass manufacturing technology, they are not engaged in production themselves, and the technology developed will be licensed.
They have authorized several patents related to glass manufacturing technology in China, and the Jiujiang Glass Company, which was jointly established by their Yang family and several other local families in Jiujiang, is one of the companies with technology authorization.
In order to win the technology authorization, the Jiujiang glass company spent a high price to compete for the relevant authorization of glass manufacturing technology, because the Royal Institute of Technology in order to maintain its own patent licensing income, but also to ensure that the manufacturing process is not leaked on a large scale, the technology authorization of glass manufacturing is a relatively strict model.
At present, only five companies in China have obtained relevant technology authorizations, and Jiujiang Glass Company, which is controlled by the Yang family, is one of them.
Interestingly, this Jiujiang glass company was still united by several large families at the beginning, but after a few years, it became the Yang family holdings, and there is naturally no shortage of various businesses and equity competitions.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with him!
Although Yang Cheng came to Shanghai to build a factory, it was operated by a branch of Jiujiang Glass Company, but his father had already given him full authorization: only 10,000 taels of silver was given to establish the principal of the share, and you can do the rest yourself.
And told him very clearly: if you succeed, you will come back to take over the family business in the future, and if you don't succeed, you will come back to take over the family business.
It's just that if it is successful, the family business that will be taken over is Jiujiang Glass Company, and if it is not successful, it is estimated that the takeover will be a grange, a shop and the like.
In this case, in the eyes of outsiders, it may seem strange that the Yang family has a total of two descendants, the eldest son of the Yang family is already in the Ministry of Rites, it is impossible to take over the family business and do business, only Yang Cheng can take over the family business, even if Yang Cheng does not do well, in the end, there is a high probability that he will take over the family business, and it is impossible to just give a little grange and send it away.
Here, we have to focus on the Yang family, as a gentry family, even if they control a profitable company like Jiujiang Glass Company, they still don't pay much attention to business.
The current head of the Yang family, that is, Yang Cheng's father, has never cared about the operation of the company, because their main business of the Yang family is to study, become an official, and become a prestigious gentry.
How could he participate in such a copper-smelling thing as opening a company and building a factory, these things were all taken care of by the side clansmen and servants before.
And Yang Cheng can be regarded as the only descendant of the Yang family who is really engaged in business.
Yang Cheng's situation is still very rare in the current Tang Dynasty.
Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, and has always supported industry and commerce, and the domestic gentry families are also actively involved in industrial and commercial affairs to open companies and build factories, the official-oriented thinking formed for thousands of years has still not been changed.
A gentry family can own a large number of industries, but it cannot regard business as the foundation for maintaining the prosperity of the family, and if you want to maintain the prosperity of the family, you have to study and become an official.
Otherwise, this family would not be a prestigious gentry family as ordinary people say, but a merchant family with no social status.
Shinong industry and commerce, these four words have almost run through thousands of years in China, from ancient times to the present and even in later generations, and the current Tang Empire is also not exempt from vulgarity.
Therefore, the social status of a pure merchant family is not too high, as for saying that the merchant family is rich, and if there is money, there is status.
It seems that those gentry have no money, look at the current Songjiang Mansion Tongzhi Chen Lifu, people's cellars are stocked with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver all year round.
I don't know if this social situation will change in the future, but at least for now, many social conditions in the Tang Dynasty have continued the tradition of thousands of years and have not changed much.
As a result, today's powerful medium and large private enterprises in China are actually controlled by the traditional gentry and landlord class in the past, but their descendants, especially those with potential, generally do not participate in these commercial affairs, but let the side children or housekeepers, or simply hire professional managers, well, that is, the former shopkeepers to deal with it.
And if the descendants are in business, they basically belong to the kind of people who have been abandoned, well, just like Yang Cheng!
