The company had to come to negotiate with the East China Chemical Company and wanted to sign a cartel-style agreement with the East China Chemical Company.

That is, the two parties agree on the price, and then each occupies what percentage of the market, which is very much in line with the mainstream form of business in the current era - monopoly.

When the trust model cannot monopolize the market, they will still find ways to monopolize it, and the most common model is to unite competitors and work together for the benefit of both parties.

This is a kind of combination of two benefits and two injuries of the truth, the truth is very simple, but at this time East China Chemical Company occupies an absolute competitive advantage, there is no need to cooperate, because the competition will only crush the company, and East China Chemical Company will eventually gain the entire international market.

Therefore, the negotiations of the company were rejected, and the East China Chemical Company would not compromise.

The position of East China Chemical Company also represents the position of all enterprises in the three provinces of East China, and will not cooperate with foreigners in the Chinese market, but some commodities that do not have obvious competitive advantages in the world can be cooperated, but only internationally.

And those foreigners obviously haven't thought of international cooperation yet, most of them are the same as the internal door company, and what they throw out is only cooperation in the Chinese market.

In terms of freight, the ships of the East China Offshore Transport Company are not enough to transport all the goods, but the emergence of the East China Offshore Transport Company has triggered a price reduction competition between Swire and Jardine Matheson.

In the past, the freight rate per ton was about three yuan for carrying goods in the Yangtze River and offshore ports. At this time, as soon as the East China Offshore Transportation Company appeared, Swire & Co. and Jardine Matheson reduced the freight rate to 1 yuan per ton.

Previously, Jardine Matheson, Swire & Co., and Qichang & Co. had conducted such price cutting competition with China Merchants Steamship Co., Ltd., and as a result, U.S. Co., Ltd. Qichang & Co. suffered losses and went bankrupt. However, the capital of Jardine Matheson and Swire is much higher than that of Qichang and they can support it for a long time.

The price cuts of Jardine Matheson and Swire Matheson have allowed goods from the three autonomous provinces in East China to be transported to various markets, and it has also brought time for the development of East China Offshore Transportation Company.

In addition to the East China Offshore Transportation Company, there is also a steamship China Merchants Bureau is also involved in transportation, about 40% of the shares of the steamship China Merchants belong to the East China Autonomous Political Axe, which was later sold to the East China Offshore Transportation Company, so Shanghai Steamship China Merchants is also under the control of the East China Offshore Transportation Company, and its wharves and warehouses are also provided to the cargo ships of the East China Offshore Transportation Company.

However, the shareholders of Shanghai Steamship China Merchants obviously could not stand such price cutting competition, because in this case, the company was losing money.

Shanghai Steamship China Merchants did not have the blood transfusion support of the East China Group like the East China Offshore Transportation Company, so the stock price of China Merchants Steamship fell sharply.

Soon after, China Merchants went bankrupt due to poor management and fierce competition, and was acquired by the East China Offshore Company for 1.5 million yuan in cabbage.

Zheng Guanying, who presided over the East China Offshore Company, made drastic reforms after annexing the steamship China Merchants Bureau, an industry that had poured a lot of blood into him.

As for the old steamers of the China Merchants Steamship Bureau, Zheng Guan should all be eliminated and sold. In the current situation of fierce competition, those old steamers lose the most, and the more they are transported, the more they lose, so they are naturally dismantled.

At the same time, Zheng Guanying received the support of industrialists from the three provinces of East China, who handed over some commodities that had already gained a competitive advantage and would not lose their competitiveness due to the increase in transportation costs to the East China Offshore Transportation Company, and the transportation price was raised to 1.5 yuan per ton.

Although the transportation price has only increased by 0.5 yuan, it can get the East China Offshore Transportation Company out of the loss, because the cargo ships of the East China Offshore Transportation Company are very advanced.

The larger the cargo ship, the higher the transportation efficiency, because every 2 times the size of the ship, only 1.5 times the power can be pushed, so the larger the build, the smaller the space for storing fuel, so in the transportation of various ports, even if it is a transportation price of 1 yuan per ton, the East China offshore company still makes money, and the only loss is the transportation of the Yangtze River waterway.

The Yangtze River could not accommodate too large merchant ships, so it could not give full play to the tonnage advantage, and the small-tonnage cargo ships were more competitive because they were more economical in terms of fuel than those of foreign companies, but they still could not get rid of the losses.

Due to the unity and mutual support of the national capital of the three provinces of East China, all kinds of commodities in the three provinces of East China are like a sharp knife directly into the market.

On the other hand, although the commodities of the three provinces of East China Autonomous Province are blocked, they are generally loose, and most of the foreign banks only take care of their own fields and will not cooperate with other fields.

The markets of the three provinces of East China were rapidly collapsed, and the markets in Fujian were themselves in a semi-paralyzed state, and at this time they had been almost completely swept out of the door, and only those commodities that could not be produced in the three provinces of East China still existed in the market.

The markets in Zhejiang and Jiangxi also quickly collapsed, because Xia Jun began to collect tolls in the country, which were ostensibly levied on all goods, but after the tolls were collected, they were returned to the factories.

In addition, the nationalism of the three provinces of East China began to sprout rapidly, and foreign goods were quickly squeezed out, and the markets of the three provinces of East China were firmly controlled by national capital.

At this point, Xia Jun is already invincible.

If the territory of the three autonomous provinces of East China is won, no matter how much it competes with the Yankees, at least it will not suffer.

However, its own market has been won, and it is very important to regulate business, Xia Jun doesn't want to see businesses without any moral bottom line like in later generations, as well as messy food safety problems.

In later generations, it was a collapse of morality and faith, but it was different in this era, when businessmen focused on integrity and valued reputation.

What Xia Jun has to do is to strengthen this atmosphere, so that businesses regard integrity as fundamental, so Xia Jun began to establish a credit mechanism, any enterprise wants to borrow from the bank, the consideration of integrity will increase.

At the same time, Xia Jun made many requirements for the quality of goods, and the political axe of later generations was to help merchants bully consumers, but they didn't know that this method would only outweigh the losses.

Xia Jun supports those national capitals, but not blindly support, at least they must be worthy of consumers, and consumers cannot be allowed to suffer.

Therefore, Xia Jun asked the Ministry of Justice to issue a new "Commercial Management Regulations", which stipulates the minimum quality requirements for various commodities, and stipulates that if there is a quality problem with the product, the merchant must recall it and compensate the consumer.

At the same time, it is stipulated that businesses cannot mess with concepts and cannot counterfeit. For example, what this product uses xxx space technology, such advertisements are popular on TV in later generations, and they are all deceiving consumers.

In terms of food safety, Xia Jun began to set up food testing stations in various places, and all food entering the market must go through strict spot checks, and the testing equipment is relatively advanced.

Xia Jun bought a copy of various indicators of Western food testing in later generations, and any food that exceeds these indicators will not be allowed to enter the market for sale.

The Food Safety Law stipulates that in addition to the additives that have been allowed, no chemicals shall be added to the goods, and no chemicals shall be used to treat the food in production.

There are many additives in the food of later generations, and many of the purposes of their addition are just to make the food look better, nothing more.

The Food Safety Law stipulates that any food sold in China shall not be processed with any substance that is not within the scope of consumption, even if the substance is harmless to the human body.

Isn't it good to be ugly? At least don't you have to eat at ease.

However, the exception of export products, there are no such strict requirements for exported food, as long as it meets the testing laws of the importing country, all kinds of additives can be used casually, as long as they can be sold well.

For businesses that violate the "Food Safety Law", they will face extremely high penalties, and the punishment is divided into conscious and unconscious.

If a merchant only unknowingly violates the Food Safety Law, then he will only face a fine, albeit a higher fine. However, if it is found to be a conscious act, then it will face criminal prosecution, and the death penalty can be imposed in the aggravating circumstances.

In this era, there are many food additives, and Xia Jun asked the Ministry of Justice to introduce the "Food Safety Law" to curb the disorderly spread in this regard.

However, there are very few additives allowed to be added in the Food Safety Law, only 13 kinds, while other additives have been completely banned.

Anyway, I'd rather kill the wrong three thousand than let go of one.

Why add messy things to good food? It's not the market that is noisy, no one can add it, and as for some of the inconveniences caused, it's good not to eat it.

In addition, the blow to gutter oil is very severe, whoever uses gutter oil in catering, will face the danger of 3 years in prison to the death penalty, and the punishment standard only depends on how large the amount is.

On March 18, the first aircraft of the East China Aviation Factory was built, this prototype is in the style of a biplane, with a power of 150 horsepower engines, which can seat two people.

This is a bomber, designed to drop 500 kg of bombs.

On the 19th, the biplane began to fly test, and Xia Jun took Li Shijing to the scene to watch it that day.

Anthony Fogk was very excited, but he didn't have much hope for the bomber that flew this time, and he said to Xia Jun: "Boss, this plane should have no problem flying, but the design obviously does not give full play to the maximum engine potential, and this is only a 150 horsepower engine." ”

"Although the Air Force will not adopt this aircraft, it is good to use it for export." Xia Jun smiled, "You guys should step up their design!" Earlier design a bomber that satisfies the Air Force. ”

"No problem." Anthony Fork replied confidently.

The test flight soon began, the pilot got on the plane, after starting the aircraft engine, the plane slowly accelerated on the runway, and in the roaring engine noise, the plane ran to the top and flew steadily after a certain distance.

The whole test flight went smoothly, the pilot flew in the sky for about two hours before landing due to lack of fuel, and in terms of operation, this bomber obviously did not have any problems, thanks to Xia Jun's team of designers.

Many of Xia Jun's designer team have been exposed to various principles of aircraft design at East China University, although they may still be relatively immature in terms of design ability, but they rarely make mistakes that should not be made, and they can roughly analyze whether an aircraft can fly normally from the drawings.

The second test flight will soon begin, which will test the aircraft's maximum speed, as well as its maximum range, and will also drop bombs during the flight.
