Chapter 637: The Great President's Suggestion
Just when Su Yulong was proud, he was suddenly secretly invited to a suite in the Lishunde Hotel in Tianjin.
Looking at the big men standing at the door, and the things that were obviously weapons bulging out of their waists, Su Yulong was suddenly scared.
In his opinion, he was kidnapped by his kidnappers.
But it's also strange, which bandit is so grand that he can live in a suite in Lishunde?
As soon as I entered, the door was shut.
Su Yulong saw a young man, reading a book in his hand.
The young man watched with relish and did not say a word.
Su Yulong was afraid of angering the other party, so he also stood there and didn't dare to speak.
After standing there for seven or eight minutes, the young man put down the book in his hand: "I just got this book, it's called 'Mandarin Duck with the Same Life', have you read it?" ”
"No, no" Su Yulong was a little scared: "I've been busy with business and don't read much." ”
"It's better to read more books, and those who do business read more books to learn more." The young man said lightly.
"Yes, yes" Su Yulong strengthened his courage: "I don't dare to ask you?" ”
"Oh, my name is Wang Hengyue."
"What's your name, King?"
"Wang Hengyue!"
Su Yulong gasped, the president is also called Wang Hengyue, and I heard that he is inspecting the whole country and will be in Tianjin in a few days, could it be that the current president Wang Hengyue is standing in front of him?
"Sit, sit, you're tired after standing for so long." Wang Hengyue asked Su Yulong to sit down: "Don't guess, I am Wang Hengyue, the manager of the Republic of China." ”
Su Yulong, who had just landed on the stool, was startled and quickly stood up again: "I don't know if it was summoned by the president, it's rude, it's rude." ”
Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "There is nothing rude, I want to see you temporarily, you are unprepared, this blames me"
The president spoke politely, and Su Yulong was slightly relieved.
Wang Hengyue said unhurriedly: "I heard that when you founded 'Xinglong'. There is a partner named Chu Xiaomao? ”
Su Yulong had a "sigh" in his heart, could it be that the president came out for Chu Xiaomao? But if you think about it, it's not right, how can a dignified president embarrass himself for this?
I have long heard that the president attaches great importance to the industrialists of the Chinese, takes special care of them, and almost responds to their needs, is it possible that there is a change in himself? And, how many years has it been?
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Do business and use your brains." It's okay to think of a way. But kicking someone away is a bit unkind. But since it's over, that's it. But you have to remember, don't fight with your own people, then you will win the fight. It's also disgraceful, and if you want to fight, you have to fight with foreigners. ”
"Yes, yes." Su Yulong was relieved: "If you think about it carefully, I did something wrong." ”
"Sit down, and don't be restrained with me." Wang Hengyue asked him to sit down again: "I just came back from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now I am in the countryside. In particular, in the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a new type of rich peasant economy is emerging. They want to use some small agricultural machinery to change the way they do farming. Such a demand must be not small, and the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again. ”
Su Yulong was stunned. Then I heard Wang Hengyue say:
"China is a big agricultural country with a vast market, and it is just in time to fill in the gaps. What's more, I heard that Hin Leong already has the ability to make machines? Taking this as an opportunity, I think we can also try to make textile machines. Xinglong cannot only rely on repairs to survive, Xinglong must develop, to fight against foreigners, the Chinese must have their own national machine manufacturing industry Xinglong already has the experience of manufacturing working machines, producing engines and small agricultural tools. I guess it's not that hard."
"Yes, yes." Su Yulong suddenly realized.
The big president is going to let himself develop engines and small farm tools!
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Don't be worried. Let go of your hands and feet to do it. I said this in Shanghai and Ningbo. I want to say the same when I arrived in Tianjin. If you are missing, just ask me, and if you need help, you can also tell me. In a word, no matter what aspect, we must surpass the foreigners"
Su Yulong's spirit was lifted up at once.
"Of course, before that, we must also learn from the advanced experience of foreigners." Wang Hengyue's words changed: "I heard that you have a good relationship with a foreigner named Frank Ling?" ”
Su Yulong hurriedly said: "Yes, he is Xiao'er's equestrian coach, and he has also brought a lot of business to Xinglong. ”…,
Frank Ling is a mechanical engineer specially appointed by the British company Hengfeng & Co., and a supernumerary technical consultant to Hin Leong. Since Yan Yutang and Chu Xiaomao parted ways, Chu Xiaomao led a group of people to set up a larger iron factory than Xinglong, called Faxing Iron Factory, originally wanted to compare with Xinglong, but he felt powerless to do it, and it took a lot of effort to support it for a while, but it still went out of business, and now he is poor. As soon as Chu Xiaomao left, Yan Yutang had problems in production technology, and Yan Yutang often asked Frank Ling to help solve some problems.
Not long ago, Frankling contracted a business for Xinglong, which was to manufacture transmission devices for Hengfeng Foreign Company. He is specifically responsible for supervising the production. In this way, he has truly become Xinglong's technical advisor.
Hengfeng & Co. specializes in the ordering of machines, mainly flour machines and textile machines. In order to reduce freight costs and make huge profits, the British decided to contract some of their parts to Chinese manufacturers, and of course used Hengfeng's signboard in the name.
Frankling recommended Xinglong.
Yan Yutang got this big and stable business, and he was very grateful to Frank Ling. What makes Yan Yutang even more happy is that the transmission device is an accessory component of the entire machine system, which is relatively easy to manufacture, and the manufacturing drawings and technical guidance are provided by Hengfeng Foreign Company, and Xinglong can learn more advanced production technology.
Xinglong really lives up to expectations. A few months later, Hengfeng was very satisfied, and the reputation of Xinglong spread
"To use good foreigners, there is a Japanese named Kawamura Chiyama who has been helping you by your side?" Wang Hengyue said slowly.
Su Yulong became more and more surprised in his heart, what else did the president not know?
After Xinglong's reputation spread, Kawamura Chiyama was skeptical, but he did not break his promise, and after he took office as the senior class of inner and outer cotton, he transferred the machine repair of inner and outer cotton to Xinglong one after another, but he did not dare to give all the work to Xinglong, lest there be a problem and it would be difficult to explain. Yan Yutang knew this matter in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it.
The power equipment of the inner and outer cotton is its own steam boiler generator. Once, the S-shaped pipe on the generator was corroded, and the inner and outer cotton went to Ruirong Machinery Shipbuilding Company to undertake the construction. This is a well-known British shipbuilding enterprise, but because the repair did not meet the requirements, it was out of the foreign phase, and the rework did not solve the problem several times. Kawamura was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and came to Xinglong.
According to common sense, Yan Yutang should have made it difficult for him, but Yan Yutang did not do it. He thought: This matter is not to help Kawamura, but to help himself, if the trial assembly of the S-shaped steam pipe is successful, foreigners will understand that the Chinese are not all a small race. What foreigners can't do, Chinese can do. Let the foreign adults know the strength of Xinglong.
Since then, Kawamura Qianshan has been convinced and admired. The repair works of the factories that were established successively inside and outside the cotton were contracted to Xinglong. Xinglong's reputation spread, and other Japanese manufacturers coincidentally corresponded with Xinglong.
"Japanese businessmen have to deal with each other, but the friendship should not be too deep." Wang Hengyue had something to say: "Qingdao has been making a lot of trouble recently, I think you know it, right?" ”
"Yes, yes." Su Yulong hurriedly replied.
Wang Hengyue stood up, and his voice was not loud: "The Japanese are ambitious for China, and the same is true for Japanese businessmen, in the early stage of your industrial development, the Japanese will deal with you and even help you, but their purpose is nothing more than to hold your industry so that they can serve them and obey their orders, once you can't meet their requirements, then they will tear their masks and eventually become your enemies!" ”
Su Yulong was a little shocked when he heard this.
In fact, I have heard of it before, but when it comes out of the mouth of the president, the effect is very different!
"What kind of person Chiyama Kawamura is, you'll soon know." Wang Hengyue's tone softened a lot: "But let's set up the machine factory first." The outside world says that the Su family specializes in eating foreigners' food, can this bowl of rice last a long time? Hengfeng's business is also said to stop, unreliable. The law of fact before us is the survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle is the strong. No one can change that. Only by embarking on the expansion of Xinglong and strengthening one's own strength can one be invincible. I don't know your business experience, but it seems to me that the most urgent thing is to build more factories, buy more machinery, recruit workers and apprentices, not only to maintain old relationships, but also to attract new customers, so that Xinglong can completely gain a foothold."
Wang Hengyue paused there:
"As for what I just told you, the engine can be modeled after the international brand of Shenchang & Co. of the United States, and the engine can be made into two and a half horsepower, and the fuel will be changed from kerosene to diesel. Don't underestimate it, this improvement will be of great significance. The main foreign oil companies that dumped foreign oil into China were 'Mobil,' 'Texaco,' and 'Asia', and the New York Mobil Oil Company, which was subordinate to the US Rockefeller consortium system, was the largest of them, and it was mainly engaged in the sale of kerosene. With the widespread use of machines, Mobil focused more on the marketing of gasoline, diesel and lubricants. This compliance did not reduce the number of processes and costs in engine manufacturing, but also because diesel was cheaper than kerosene, it was bound to be very popular. ”
Su Yulong said boldly: "The president also said that he doesn't understand business economics, but in fact, what you said is simply an expert. ”
Wang Hengyue smiled and waved his hand: "I am also what my experts told me, don't take credit for me!" ”
