On the 25th of December, the auditorium of Far Eastern University gathered more than 200 core personnel of Xingye Industrial Company. On the rostrum of the auditorium hung the slogan "Steadily and steadily create a new situation in 1922".

Hu Wenkai looked back on the achievements of 1921 and changed his words: "Are you complacent after hearing the results of 1921? Let me tell you that the United States produced 20.1 million tons of steel in 1921 and Germany 9.99 million tons, and we are only a fraction of them. ”

"If you are satisfied with this little achievement, you will be drowned by the dust of history in less than two years, and you will retreat if you do not advance against the current. Now in the post-World War I recovery period, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development. The great powers stayed quietly at home and licked their wounds, and when their wounds healed, there was no food for us to eat. ”

"What is our task now is to make 1922 five years like five years, which means that each of us here is more efficient and time-invested than the Americans......

"What is our goal? I can give you a clear answer: to build an orderly and strong country, to give the people a fair and legal society, the country belongs to the people, the rulers are only the servants of the people. Some of you will ask us what is the reason why the country we have worked so hard to build has finally become a servant of the people. ”

"I'll give you the answer, a stable and in line with the national order is the best reward, the country you have won wants to be powerful and prosperous, it makes sense, then you think about who you overthrew and how you got this country, there will be another group of people doing the same thing as us, it is likely that your children and grandchildren will not be able to continue the incense than we are cruel and violent."

"We will establish a fair order in accordance with the national conditions, so that all people can freely exercise their talents in this country, and use fair laws to guide the people to live a stable and prosperous life."

"If a group does not represent the interests of more than one-third of the country's people, it will not be supported, so you ask who we represent?"

"We are a group of elites of the Chinese nation, representing the bourgeoisie, we develop industry to let the peasants leave the land to get a better life, we expand the market, accelerate the circulation of capital to create wealth, we provide reasonable wages to eliminate exploitation, our development represents the development requirements of the advanced productive forces, the direction of the advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the Chinese people ......."

Hu Wenkai suppressed the applause and continued: "I know that everyone has a question in their hearts, so let's talk about it today. ”

"You all know that we devastated and devastated the three brigades of Qi Xieyuan, and we must be thinking why we don't eat Jiangsu Province here, and then eat Zhejiang to unify the whole country within a few years." He paused.

The audience exchanged ears and discussed why they didn't do this.

"Then I ask you, what is the difference between unifying the whole country in this way and now? Permission to speak. Hu Wenkai pointed to the person in the middle and said.

"Boss, yes, we have the ability to eat these two provinces, so speeding up is conducive to the early unification of the country." The following echo is a piece of voice.

"The purpose of unifying the nation is to promote our ideas and build a prosperous and powerful nation, you know? How many of us have this idea? How many people can implement this idea? ”

"Now that we have a serious shortage of manpower in this area, what is the difference between occupying Zhejiang Province or using the previous managers and not occupying it?"

"Why was the Xinhai Revolution and the Beiyang government able to occupy a large area of land but could not rule effectively and was busy filling in the gaps?"

"To occupy a province, we need at least 5,000 managers with common ideas and ideals, and if we can't reach this number, even if we get a provincial political power, we will not be able to change the soup and medicine, and we will not be able to use it."

"So this year, we must train about 5,000 managers, and we need everyone to work together to achieve it. Next year we will train 20,000 people. If you want to occupy one place, you will get one place completely, otherwise you will not do thankless work. ”

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded, which was the first clear signal from the entire group to annex Zhejiang.

"I will make a rough guide to this stage of work, each county in the county within the county to select people with both ability and political integrity and common ideas to carry out training, teaching materials by the company uniformly printed. Within this year, all counties must keep the number of poor households below 10 percent, each township must have a school, and every village must elect and establish a village committee, so as to comprehensively change the style of work and turn the government into a service-oriented government....... ”

Hu Wenkai's eloquent speech was said all morning, after a light lunch at noon, followed by Yang Siliang's report on the development plan of the Tianfen base and Li Manqiang's report on army construction, and finally Wu Hongxia made a long speech on the company's report on the urgent issue of talent training and the decision to establish the Fujin Party School.

After the meeting, Hu Wenkai took Carrota and two children to inspect the textile mill and oil refinery non-stop, and the Tianfen base was orderly under the management of Yang Siliang and Zhou Haiquan, and he didn't need to worry about it, but the construction period of the textile mill and the quality of the refinery construction have been assured.

There are still a few days before the Spring Festival, and there are obviously fewer people in Yongan Town. Many small factories began to take annual leave at this time, and workers went home for the New Year. The expansion of the textile factory was extremely busy, Xu Shengfu led hundreds of people from the militia to carry textile machines, and Wang Xiuguo of the Chamber of Commerce led several people from the Chamber of Commerce to surround Zhou Haiquan.

If the expanded textile mill is not put into operation for a day, it will not be able to rest assured for a day, and the progress of the factory will be slowed down immediately after the year-end labor shortage. Wang Xiuguo's anxious Tuan Tuan turned to Nantong County and Haimen County to borrow the militia to carry machinery and simple construction, with one yuan per person per day plus two meals.

Xu Fusheng is now the chief responsible person of the militia groups in Nantong and Haimen, and has jurisdiction over nearly 2,000 members of the Nantong militia, Haimen militia, Tianfen militia, and Haiphong militia. The company is extremely relieved to use the locals of Tianfen, and all the residents of Tianfen Township seem to be grateful to the company, and there is no happy life for them without the company.

"Boss, you're here to inspect?" Xu Fusheng ran over from a good distance and saluted and asked.

"Chief Xu you have worked hard, but you can only work overtime until the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, and don't force yourself to come if you want to come after the third day of the new year." New Year's Eve everyone's going to have a family reunion. Hu Wenkai does not agree with overtime assault construction in his heart, which can easily cause quality problems.

Wang Xiuguo and Zhou Haiquan smiled bitterly on the side and said: "Boss, you can't release water, we have decided that it will be too late to put into production on the tenth day of the first month without overtime." ”

"You two, how is this schedule arranged? The first ten years of production are lost to the two of you who can come up with it. The commissioning of factory equipment is a technical activity, and the construction period cannot be rushed, and the production date can only be set if the conditions for production are met. This card in the year to pay more attention to the quality of the problem, I see that you put the production date after the sixteenth of the first month. He said as he walked around the factory with Carrotta.

"Boss, we have taken these factors into account, we could have put it into production a year ago, we considered that the workers would go home for the New Year, so it was postponed for ten days, and the cotton cloth has been sold, if it is postponed to the fifteenth, then we will lose a lot." Zhou Haiquan and Wang Xiuguo explained on the side.

"Boss, I can't help it, this year I was busy buying New Year's goods at home, and hundreds of cotton merchants blocked the door every day and forced me to come to Yongan to see the progress of the factory. It is no wonder that they are in a hurry to arrange sales to Sichuan, Beijing, South China and other places. Wang Xiuguo rubbed his hands anxiously on the side, he knew that the boss's words might not be put into production until the fifteenth day of the first month.

Since the controlled territory has been extended to Yangzhou, the shortage of labor has been alleviated. A large number of laborers were transported to Nantong, Haimen, and southern Jiangsu under the organization of the local government, and the factories that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain quickly swallowed up tens of thousands of laborers.

After watching the installation of the new plant and machines, and listening to Zhou Haiquan's introduction, Hu Wenkai finally agreed to their plan to put into production in the first ten years. From the construction of the textile mill, we can see the impact of private capital on the enterprise, and the Chamber of Commerce has really made great efforts to put it into production, and it has been involved from the beginning.

Wang Xiuguo was invited to Jiading to inspect the refinery, Wang Xiuguo was frightened, he didn't expect the boss to take the initiative to invite him to inspect the refinery, although he has always been interested in the refinery, but he also knows that the place is not something he can touch.

On the company's passenger ship, Hu Wenkai listened to Wang Xiuguo's introduction to the operation details of the Chamber of Commerce, and was shocked when he heard it, the businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce have begun to open up the Southeast Asian market, and the cranes and warehouses in Nantong Port were expanded again with 200,000 funds donated by the Chamber of Commerce. The company's "Kangfu" brand flour in Nantong Flour Mill occupies most of the northern market, and even the oil drums, a remote businessman, will sell more than 100,000 pieces in a few months.

"How's the flour selling?"

Wang Xiuguo said proudly: "The boss flour mill can not be satisfied with the 24-hour start-up, the north believes in our brand, our flour is white and delicate, and the steamed bun is snow-white and snow-white." The price is a little more expensive than others, but I still choose us, and now the output can't keep up. ”

Hu Wenkai took a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "President Wang, do you have any ideas to invest in flour mills?" ”

"Boss, we have been thinking about this for a long time, we only have funds, no technology, and no brand."

"This is easy to do, I put forward a suggestion for you to take back, the flour mill and the rice mill can expand production, you contribute capital to the company, equipment and technology and brand, the profit is divided in half, and the company can also take out half of the shares of the shipyard for you to invest." Hu Wenkai had a flash of inspiration in his head, and thought that some industries are still diversified, which can improve efficiency.

Wang Xiuguo was thundered today, and this great thing actually fell from the sky, and immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Boss, I can agree to your suggestion for them now, thank you boss." ”

"Don't thank me, I have long had an idea when you private capital comes in, but pay attention to one thing: businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, you must have an internal clamping mechanism to prevent profit-seeking and sacrificing quality and squeezing workers."

"Boss, I will go back to study the plan for the company to see, and ask the company to help us design a clamping mechanism."

"Okay, what do you think of the refinery?"

"After the boss refinery is put into operation, the annual output of 100,000 tons, our chamber of commerce wants to cover 50,000 tons."
