607 [The Nature of a Capitalist]
Hua Ge Zhen Road, Du Mansion.
Du Yuesheng, the terrifying Qinggang boss, is now tied to a Taishi chair by Wuhuada. When he saw Zhou Hexuan enter the house, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar, it's really rude!" ”
"Brother, where are you singing?" Zhou Hexuan asked funny.
Du Yuesheng explained: "Chairman Jiang launched the New Life Movement, and I also want to live a new life, so I must at least quit this opium." Otherwise, he looks like a sick man in East Asia, and he will embarrass the chairman when he goes out, don't you say? ”
"Courageous!" Zhou Hexuan gave a thumbs up.
A Qinggang boss took the initiative to quit opium, and he really quit in history, which is really admirable in this regard.
Du Yuesheng smiled bitterly: "It's hard to quit opium." I haven't been out for half a month, and I tie myself to my home every day, even eating like this. ”
Zhou Hexuan comforted: "Quit well, a manly man, how can you be at the mercy of a little opium." ”
"I love to hear this, Brother Zhou is arrogant enough!" Du Yuesheng laughed.
Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists and said: "I heard that my brother's Zhonghui building is about to be completed, and I sincerely wish you a wide range of financial resources!" ”
Du Yuesheng said proudly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." But when it comes to doing business, I can't compare to Brother Zhou, your sulfonamide is the daily money. ”
"It's just a good shopkeeper, and it's just a little red every year." Zhou Hexuan said.
Zhou Hexuan, a pharmaceutical company in the UK, really didn't make a lot of cash, so he used it to expand production scale and establish sales channels, and the rest of the money was also invested in drug research and development projects.
Vivien Leigh's father Annis is in charge of all the power of the company, and there must be many small actions, but Zhou Hexuan is too lazy to take it seriously. He holds the patent for sulfonamides in his hand, and the drug research and development laboratory is also wholly owned by him, strangling the source of the drug.
As long as Ernis isn't a fool, he won't play too far. Even if the two fall out one day, Zhou Hexuan can take various patents at any time and turn to others to cooperate.
Du Yuesheng chatted for a few words, and suddenly got down to business: "Brother Zhou, the matter you asked me to check has already been clarified." Someone sent money to the prison warden, so the sentence was commuted exceptionally, and Zhang Damin was released from prison legally. ”
"Can you find out who is stuffing the money?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Du Yuesheng said: "A middle-aged man surnamed Li said that he was a relative of Zhang Damin. The person can't be found anymore, it is estimated that it is a fake name and surname, this kind of thing is not easy to investigate. ”
Du Yuesheng is not deliberately perfunctory, it is true that he is the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, but he cannot fully control Shanghai. If you want to find someone who uses a fake name in the vast sea of people, the difficulty is undoubtedly equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhou Hexuan had actually guessed who was making trouble, and he asked, "Brother, if I have a holiday with Tang Jishan, how should I deal with him?" ”
"Tea King Tang Jishan?" Du Yuesheng was taken aback.
"That's him." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Du Yuesheng shook his head again and again: "This person can't move, it's too involved." ”
Zhou Hexuan asked: "He has a hard background?" ”
"It's not just a matter of background," Du Yuesheng said, "Brother Zhou, you know that most of our walks of life in China are controlled by foreigners. In the past, foreigners monopolized China's tea export trade, and it was Tang Jishan who broke this situation. For the Chinese people who are engaged in the tea business, Tang Jishan is a big hero, and at least hundreds of thousands of tea farmers and tea merchants across the country rely on Tang Jishan for food. If you bring down Tang Jishan, the foreigners will inevitably take the opportunity to bring down the Huacha Company, which is equivalent to smashing the jobs of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people! ”
"I really didn't expect this," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Of course, I didn't plan to bring down Tang Jishan, I just gave some color to see." ”
"That's good," Du Yuesheng said, "Actually, I can't get used to Tang Jishan, this person is really a little too carried away after becoming the king of tea." He used to be a hero in the tea industry, but now he has become a profiteer completely. He joined forces with foreigners to deliberately lower the purchase price of tea, which made tea merchants and tea farmers complain. He didn't even pay attention to me, thinking that he would be able to go to heaven if he fell in love with foreigners and high-ranking officials, and I wanted to clean up this guy for a long time. ”
Zhou Hexuan really didn't know anything about this, so he hurriedly inquired about the situation, and soon figured out Tang Jishan's background.
As Du Yuesheng said, in the past, foreigners monopolized China's tea export trade. Tang Jishan's father united many tea merchants to establish the Huacha Company, hoping to completely break this situation, but their plan was soon declared bankrupt.
At that time, the old family of the Tang family was about to lose everything, but fortunately, Tang Jishan's father-in-law helped and finally got through the most difficult time.
Tang Jishan's father did not choose to give up, but rebuilt the Huacha Company as a sole proprietorship, and Tang Jishan served as the general manager of the company. With the help of the boycott of foreign goods at that time, the Huacha Company quickly gained a firm foothold in China, and adopted a low-price strategy to obtain a share of the tea supply of an American company, becoming the only Chinese tea company that could do export trade at that time.
The business of Huacha has snowballed, and now it is even sold on four continents: Asia, Europe, the United States and Africa. In China, Huacha Company ranks third, and the top two are foreigners; In the U.S., Huacha is the second-largest non-domestic tea supplier, behind only a Japanese company.
If you only look at these, Tang Jishan can definitely be regarded as a hero, a national entrepreneur who can grow a face for the Chinese.
But the great teacher Marx said it well: capitalism came into the world with blood and filth dripping from head to toe.
Huacha Company was able to get a share of tea exports at the beginning, relying on low prices, which were much lower than the supply prices of foreigners. In China, he bought tea at a high price, so that tea merchants were willing to sell tea to him, rather than to foreign companies.
Buying at a higher price than foreigners, selling at a lower price than foreigners, there are huge profits in the middle, you can imagine how black-hearted those foreign businessmen are.
When Tang Jishan's business became bigger and bigger, foreigners gradually recognized and accepted him. Thus, the nature of the capitalist is exposed, and he wants to grab more profits!
Foreigners naturally can't be offended, so Tang Jishan didn't dare to increase the supply price, and still exported overseas at a low price. But in terms of domestic acquisitions, then you can play tricks, Tang Jishan actually colluded with other foreign businessmen to jointly suppress the purchase price of tea.
Countless Chinese tea merchants and tea farmers were pitted by Tang Jishan. But there is no way, Tang Jishan has united with foreigners to monopolize the tea export trade, and the tea merchants and tea farmers can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they can't talk about their bitterness.
The funniest thing is that Tang Jishan can still be touted as a hero, because he is the only one who can compete with the foreign tea company, and he is a model and pride of national entrepreneurs.
After listening to what Du Yuesheng said, Zhou Hexuan suddenly laughed - it is very simple to bring down Tang Jishan, just find a few appealing Chinese tea merchants and take them to contact the American tea company.
Isn't Tang Jishan playing a low-price supply strategy? That's a lower price than him, and the American Tea Buyers Association is interested.
By that time, China's tea business will inevitably become more competitive, and it may be possible to raise the price of tea and generate income for the vast number of tea merchants and tea farmers.
Of course, there is also the possibility of another consequence - the new Chinese tea export company has once again reached a secret agreement with foreigners to continue to monopolize the tea market, and it is the low-level tea merchants and tea farmers who will suffer.
Capitalists, few of them are reliable.
Zhou Hexuan thought about it was still too complicated, and he was not ready to tear his face with Tang Jishan for the time being. As long as the other party doesn't make too much trouble, he will forget it, and everyone can sit down and have a meal to resolve the enmity.
