Chapter 17: Father and Son Talk
The seven brothers of the second generation of the Liang family all attended the wine, the old man Liang was too old to drink, and the young master Liang was only thirteen years old and could not drink, but the seven brothers of the Liang family were young and strong, and the seven people took turns to toast the two masters, and there were expressions of admiration and a toast, a toast to express gratitude, a toast to each other, a toast to each other, a toast to each other, a toast to the brothers, and then a toast to each other without speaking, the two martial arts masters naturally drank a lot, In the end, he drank so much that his tongue was a little big, and two of the seven brothers couldn't hold it anymore, so he gave up after a heavy drink, and Young Master Liang and others helped the two masters into the room to rest. Our Chinese tradition is like this, you must drink until you drink high and drink big and can't drink anymore before you call it good, it's really dizzy!
And the two masters will be very sincere to the Liang family's warm hospitality, and they feel very faced, and they will remember this unique apprenticeship banquet many years later.
The next morning, the two masters left Liangjiazhuang, and when they parted, they told Liang Sihan to take time to report to the master in the past few days.
Young Master Liang suddenly felt that time was running out, and the Hainan base began to be secretly activated, at least to build docks, roads, and warehouses before the arrival of American munitions. Others, such as barracks and training grounds, could be built later, and facilities such as steel and cement factories were at the bottom of the list. Therefore, a series of things such as purchasing materials, recruiting construction workers, arranging transportation, etc., have to be completed by Young Master Liang and his fifth uncle, and it is inconvenient to let others help out of confidentiality.
Now that he has worshiped the two masters at once, it will definitely take a lot of time to learn martial arts from the master in the future, does he have that much time?
After the Hainan base is built, he will personally participate in the training of the escort unit, and the training methods of the PLA in the future generations will be used to train the escort unit and train an elite soldier, and this elite soldier will become his seed unit, that is, the teaching unit of later generations, and he will be able to rapidly expand the army and let the seed unit train new recruits, which is the best way to quickly become an army; as for inviting the instructors of artillery, machine gunners, engineers, and communications troops of the US army to become his helpers, he will not let the American instructors lead the training of the troops.
There are also steel mills, cement factories in Hainan, and even military factories that he has not yet revealed, which must be led by him, and the fifth uncle can't do this job at all.
At the moment, the most anxious thing is to determine the location of the Hainan base, and he has to do this matter himself, and the fifth uncle's poor geographical knowledge is estimated to be enough. Today's most anxious thing is to say goodbye to his father and talk about something by the way, Liang Haoye is ready to leave for Shanghai tomorrow.
He found his father, who was preparing his luggage, and said seriously that he wanted to talk to his father, and he must have taught him a few words with his eyes in the past, and now Liang Haoye has already looked at his son differently.
Father and son sat in the study together. "Father, in the past two days, I have thought of a way that can help you open up the situation in Shanghai", Young Master Liang was in a hurry, so he went straight to the point.
"Oh, what's the best way"? Dad suddenly came to the spirit, it's good to have a genius son, and the son is genius because of his good seeds, and Dad praised himself lightly and happily.
"It's called contract farming. When you go to Shanghai to develop, the main reason is to purchase more high-quality and low-cost raw silk and tea, which is now the most important commodity in the export trade, and our Liang family is not short of customers in this area, what is lacking is these commodities. But you are not familiar with the place over there, it is difficult to open the situation, my method is to send people to the production area to sign a contract directly with the silk farmers and tea farmers, including the farmers' raw silk and tea, set the price of each quality grade, remember, set this price is very important, we must do a good job of investigation, to ensure that the farmers have a certain profit, this year's price is slightly higher than last year's market price. If you do these two things, the farmers will be relieved to sign a contract with you, because then the interests of the farmers are protected, and they will focus more on the quality of raw silk or tea, because the quality is improved, and their income will be more. ”
The so-called hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Only by driving with profit can we become a trend and be unstoppable.
His father savored these contents, and suddenly stood up for a long time: "Wonderful, wonderful, it's simply wonderful, you kid is amazing, you have figured out people's hearts thoroughly." Liang's father has a trace of admiration for his own son, this kid will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. This plan has thought through the psychology of farmers, farmers can only earn money, they are willing to sign this contract with you, slightly higher than last year's market price, he will feel that there is no loss, rest assured to sign a contract with you, and wait until the two sides are familiar and establish trust, then it will become a long-term stable source of goods. On the other hand, if the price is lowered, the farmer will not be able to make money, and next year he may switch to farming or other things, resulting in a decline in overall production. In addition, with a stable income, farmers want to increase their income, only by improving the quality, then, the overall quality will be improved, better quality raw silk and tea foreign merchants are more favored, the export price will be much higher, merchants and farmers can make a profit, this is a win-win way. Only if everyone is good, it is really good!
"Son, you can do me a great favor with this method, I should thank you well, well, reward you well, say, what reward do you want"?
Reward? Young Master Liang didn't expect that there would be benefits, what I want most is that you should be kind to my own mother and don't marry my aunt's wife again, but he didn't dare to say this, and he refused to agree to it.
"It doesn't matter what the reward is, as long as my father can develop smoothly in Shanghai, it is better than anything else", Young Master Liang has done enough to be a smart and sensible baby.
Liang Haoye was very moved when he heard this, and once again attributed these to his excellent seeds.
This order-based agriculture was very common in Liang Sihan's previous life, in the original history, the famous red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan in the Qing Dynasty invented this practice, he signed an underwriting agreement with silk farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, controlled most of the raw silk supply, and used this to improve the right to speak and price in the market, but in the end he also lost on this, because he wanted to monopolize the source of goods, raise the price, caused a boycott of foreign businessmen, and coincided with the European harvest of raw silk, the price of silk fell, coupled with the Sino-French war caused market panic, He failed to bet with foreign merchants and was forced to sell raw silk at a low price, losing more than 10 million taels of silver. Hu Xueyan's backer was the famous Zuo Zongtang, and Zuo Zongtang's political opponent Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to let people run out of Hu's bank, causing his bank to go bankrupt, and to make matters worse, Hu Xueyan completely failed and went bankrupt. China's internal friction is terrifying.
