Chapter 243 Woe to the East and Draw Two

Public opinion can be guided, and the powerful propaganda means of the Celestial Empire in later generations are the best textbooks, and Gao Hongsheng is not at all effortless to operate.

In order to fill in the gap for Kaiser Wilhelm and block Gao Hongsheng from running back to modern times, a large number of personnel were mobilized to search for information, and a series of tempting meals were directly prepared for the Germans at the end of the first seven years.

The rubber industry is a big industry, but also a system of industrial industry, but not from the rubber tree to cut the rubber to get the end of the matter, then followed by a series of industrial processing industry, and finally become a variety of finished products presented in front of everyone.

After three years of planting period, rubber trees can be tapped, and the collected glue is the most primitive natural rubber, but this thing wants to cross the ocean to reach Europe, but also to carry out preliminary processing locally, generally speaking, it is processed into tobacco glue and granular glue, wrinkle glue and ru glue, the most important of which is processed into granular glue and tobacco glue.

This is only the formation of primary raw materials suitable for long-distance transportation and storage, followed by plasticizing, mixing, rolling or extrusion, molding and vulcanization and other basic processes, and each process for the different requirements of the product, but also with a number of paving operations, and a variety of compounding agents added to the rubber, so that different products are suitable for different working occasions.

Take the simplest raincoat as an example, it is necessary to combine the configured glue with the textile by calendering, hanging glue or glue to produce a semi-finished product, and finally after vulcanization, the semi-finished product will be turned into a waterproof cloth and then bonded into a rain-proof raincoat.

In the first seven years, the world is still in a stage of exploration for the application of rubber, but many processing methods and processing methods in later generations have been preemptively patented, such as the production method of waterproof fabric was invented as early as 1823, and later added vulcanization, basically the same as the modern production method, Gao Hongsheng wants to find some patented technology in this area is still a little difficult, unless he gets the synthetic rubber out.

At that time, basically the utilization and processing methods of rubber raw materials have been invented, but natural rubber to add a variety of compounding agents has not been made much, natural rubber to add a variety of compounding agents to achieve various economic and technical indicators of its products.

How many rubber formulas are there, so let's say that there are more than 10,000 kinds of rubber formulas at present, which are roughly classified according to performance, that is, wear resistance is the first index, followed by oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance and so on.

Rubber formula plays a decisive role in the value and benefit of rubber industry products, and the formula with low cost and superior performance plays a vital role in the competition of the rubber industry.

To take the simplest example, the rubber formula used in the sole of the slipper heel rubber shoes is different, and this is the difference between the simplest rubber formula.

But according to the current chemical capacity, there are really not many rubber formulas that can be used, but there are also a lot, looking at the pile of patent application materials on the table, he is worried about how much it will cost to get the patents.

The patent thing is easy to solve, but how to get those chemical raw materials is a problem, fortunately, there is no special problem around the rubber industry, although it takes a little effort in one or seven years but it is not impossible to solve, but some of the formula of raw materials are only stored in the real room, and there is no large-scale production, but throw away those things that cannot be reached, and the rest are not old and young, enough for him to increase the application range of rubber to a very high level.

So how big is the amount of rubber products, let's put it this way, an old liberation needs more than 200 kilograms of rubber products, a train passenger car needs more than 300 kilograms, a 10,000-ton giant ship needs nearly 10 tons of rubber products, and a warship is more than twice as much as a freighter.

In a month and a half, Gao Hongsheng even handed over the matter of ordering artillery from the Skoda Arsenal to Albert, and he has been busy in Berlin with the development and application of new rubber formulas.

The total number of new rubber formulas reached more than 1,000 copies was gradually applied for by him from various countries, and as long as one application was published, it was published in German newspapers, marking the direction of the application of the patented rubber formula and the application of the processed products.

It also makes him the world's largest patentee on rubber formulations, and also the person with the largest number of patent applications and patent fees in the world in one year.

The whole rubber industry is presented in front of the eyes of the Germans little by little with his continuous efforts, and the German people have gradually learned about rubber in the bombardment of newspapers, from the source of rubber to the application and production methods of rubber, and also understand the high profits of the rubber industry.

A month and a half later, a Qiē in the Philippine Islands was published in the headlines of German newspapers, and the rich, beautiful, and pleasant climate of the Philippines was presented in the eyes of the German people, and the poor, backward, conservative, and ignorant Qing Dynasty directly retreated to the second line and became a symbol of German force.

People's enthusiasm was touched by the beautiful opportunity to make a fortune, no one would have thought that the profit of a rubber plantation is so big, an acre of rubber plantation planted more than 30 clover rubber trees, the yield per mu is close to hundreds of kilograms, and the price of the whole ru rubber is soaring with the industrial application of rubber, and more importantly, the arrival of the future automobile industry, will inevitably give birth to a huge rubber industry, the demand for rubber will be hundreds of times the current time, the huge demand determines the future of the glory of the rubber industry, In the future, the rubber industry is expected to become the most lucrative industry comparable to digging a gold mine.

Of course, Gao Hongsheng is not really fooling the German public, the rubber industry before World War II can really be called a liquid gold industry, even in the modern era of synthetic rubber mass application, the profits of the rubber industry are enough to attract everyone's investment.

At the same time, these patents were concentrated in a newly established company, and they were directly thrown to Bo Caiyun to be responsible, and he was responsible for digging the pit, that is, responsible for the patent application, but on the issue of licensing, he handed it over to Bo Caiyun.

That's right, it is patent licensing, not patent sales, patent licensing can firmly grasp the patent in hand, how big the rubber industry is, people in this era may not be clear to him, a latecomer, so he will not be stupid to sell the patent.

However, under the pressure of other large enterprises and large companies, his rubber formula patent authorization can be described as the price of cabbage, when those foreigners finally learned about the huge sales of the rubber industry, only to understand that his patent licensing is simply too much money compared to the sale of patents, so that later by several multinational enterprises formed a rubber trust forced him to invalidate the patent license, but at that time he had already earned a few money to count the hand cramps.

When Gao Hongsheng kept throwing out various cakes about rubber, Kaiser Wilhelm had to face a very headache. A large number of factories in Europe use new rubber formulas to produce rubber products suitable for various situations, which makes the proportion of rubber products in the industry continue to rise, and the rubber industry has ushered in an explosive period.

Suddenly, people seem to have fallen into the world of rubber, all kinds of rubber products have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and suddenly they have popped up, these rubber products are all products that can earn high profits, and a new industry like a gold mine has emerged in a short period of time, and that practical rubber products have suddenly opened a window for people, an opportunity to make a fortune, and no one can refuse the attractive profits.

As Gao Hongsheng continues to throw out new rubber formulas, the greater the application direction of rubber products, the greater the demand, which makes the price of natural rubber in the international market rise like a rocket, which is really sesame blossoming, and the most painful of which is Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Originally, the application of natural rubber was not too much in this era, but with the high Hongsheng low price of a large number of rubber formulas for authorized production, the application of rubber products directly expanded several times, and the demand for natural rubber also increased several times, so that the natural rubber production that was not rich was immediately stretched, and it was simply unable to cope with the growing strong demand. However, Germany and Austria-Hungary did not have a single source of natural rubber raw materials, and if they wanted to obtain as much natural rubber as they wanted, they had to buy it at a high price on the international market.

The rise of international natural rubber has also pushed up the assets of those who own rubber plantations, making their assets continue to hit new highs.

Gao Hongsheng casually found a few cases, which made the German public's attention on the rubber industry, and naturally everyone began to pay attention to the Philippines, which is suitable for planting rubber.
