Qin Chuan then explained to Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai: "The Japanese send money, that is, let my Aurora dyeing factory only enter their Japanese grey fabric, not into the Xinhua weaving factory, we Qing our own people's grey fabric, in the final analysis, we still have to crush the Xinhua weaving factory of Zhou Daren, including our two factories in Tianjin, if that is the case, your two factories collapse, the Japanese will definitely increase the price of grey cloth in the end, and may even cut off the source of my grey fabric, and finally collapse my Aurora dyeing factory, then we will all fall into the way of the Japanese."

"So the Japanese sent money, we accepted it, but we couldn't stop buying grey cloth from our own two weaving factories in Tianjin."

Seeing that Zhou Fu was about to speak with a puzzled expression, Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, two adults, I should enter the Japanese grey cloth or enter it, but I won't press their grey cloth in my warehouse, I will。。。。。。 ”

Sheng Xuanhuai, who was originally puzzled, suddenly clapped his hands in surprise and joy when Qin Chuan said this, and blurted out: "Okay!" Brilliant! ”

Sheng Xuanhuai leaned forward with a happy face and asked Qin Chuan happily.

"Minghong, do you mean to sell these Japanese grey fabrics again?"

Sheng Xuanhuai said this, Zhou Fu also understood, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Master Sheng is clever, that's what Ming Hong means. The Japanese are three pieces cheaper than a piece of grey cloth, so I will send his billet to the counties of Zhili, deliver it to the door and then sell it to the local cloth merchants, planing out the freight, I still have to make money, I also make a net profit of almost 100,000 yuan every year, two adults, you say, such a big windfall, can we not want it? ”

"Yes, how could not."

Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai replied almost in unison, and then the three of them laughed together.

Although he went to make tea, Li Mingfang had been listening to the conversation of the three people upstairs with his ears pricked up, and at the end, Li Mingfang was also so happy that he grinned. Seeing that the atmosphere upstairs was harmonious, Li Mingfang hurriedly went upstairs and sat beside Qin Chuan after instructing the Qin family to pour water and make tea.

Zhou Fu asked Qin Chuan with a smile: "Ming Hong, according to what you said, you promised the Japanese not to expand production capacity, the purpose is not to force the Japanese to be anxious, so that the Japanese will not take risks, and finally make a lose-lose situation with us, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is wise, that's what Ming Hong meant."

"You think, if Kondo's colored cloth can't be sold, then he won't be on the grey cloth to the death to squeeze your two factories, the Japanese grey cloth is produced in Japan, and the Japanese government subsidizes the export of grey fabric, so the actual cost of Kondo's grey cloth is much lower than your two factories, he really wants to gamble, that's really a trouble."

For the export of grey fabrics produced by domestic textile factories in Japan, Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai heard for the first time, for why the Japanese government will give merchants silver for nothing, the two did not understand very well at first, but these two people can be in a high position, naturally they are extremely smart people, after Qin Chuan's explanation, they immediately suddenly realized, inevitably let the two sigh for a while, but soon the eyes of the two of them dimmed.

Qin Chuan knew in his heart that this was something that the two of them would definitely be able to think of, and the benefits of the Japanese approach, but in the Qing Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible to do, but these two people were human spirits, not to mention that they would not show it in front of him, even on other ordinary occasions, neither of them would shed anything.

Sheng Xuanhuai reached into his arms, took out a delicate little Milky Way, and when he opened it, it turned out that the silver box contained ten cigarettes and a few matches. Sheng Xuanhuai took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and before he could get a match, with a "snort", Qin Chuan had already lit a match and reached over to light a cigarette for Sheng Xuanhuai. By the way, Qin Chuan himself took out a cigarette from under the coffee table, confessed to Zhou Fu, and then lit it himself.

Qin Chuan's actions made Zhou Fu not only bow slightly, but Sheng Xuanhuai's eyes were also full of appreciation.

Zhou Fu changed the topic: "Minghong, your factory protection team is doing a good job, looking at the spirit, it is not inferior to our Huai Army in Beiyang, I don't know what you are doing this factory protection team for." ”

Zhou Fu's question made Qin Chuan nervous for a while.

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "Lao Tzu set up this factory protection team, in the final analysis, in order to prepare a team for Lao Tzu himself to think about in the future, but how can this be confided in front of these two high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Fortunately, Qin Chuan was prepared, and said without thinking: "Back to Lord Zhou, Ming Hong can make this Aurora dyeing factory look like this in such a short period of time, in addition to having many chemical patents abroad, but also relying on Ming Hong in the printing and dyeing industry has a lot of unique skills, Aurora brand color cloth is now popular, for a long time I am afraid of being conspired against, in order to protect these unique skills, it is good to take some precautions, this is one of them; Second, when Ming Hung was abroad, he was also very interested in the military, and he also studied military affairs with a retired German army officer, and wanted to become a soldier, but now he returned to China to engage in business, and his wish was difficult to achieve. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but move in his heart, and said that it was better to test darts with Hannagan at the Li Shunde Hotel today, and the two sides agreed to test shooting when Li Hongzhang reviewed the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy.

Qin Chuan sighed and said angrily: "Don't say that Ming Hong dares to promise that he will not lose to a retired instructor in shooting, even in terms of training soldiers Benzo, Ming Hong does not dare to be too modest, if my factory protection team can have guns, I really want to take my factory protection team to compare with the students trained by these foreign instructors that day." ”

Qin Chuan's words couldn't help but surprise Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai, they never expected that Qin Chuan, a young business wizard, would attach so much importance to military affairs, and the two looked at each other without speaking.

Sheng Xuanhuai asked Qin Chuan: "Minghong, let's talk about your patents." ”

Qin Chuan could feel that Sheng Xuanhuai, Li Hongzhang's right-hand man in promoting foreign affairs, was very interested in his patents, or he was more interested in these things than others.

Qin Chuan also told Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhou Fu in detail about his patent projects, including the function of each patent, and even the country in which it was registered, as well as the agreement between him and BASF.

Qin Chuan's narration surprised Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhou Fu, and Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't help but ask Qin Chuan, why don't you produce these things yourself in China, wouldn't that be more profitable?

Qin Chuan shook his head regretfully and said: "Ming Hong also had this idea, but after returning to China, I found that although I have implemented Westernization in the Qing Dynasty for many years, the modern industry is still very weak, and the relevant talents are even more pitiful, not to mention that those chemical products cannot be produced, even if it is produced in China, there will not be many sales, it is a pity to think about it." ”

Although Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai are also very pity, if they think about it, it is indeed as Qin Chuan said, although these things are good, they either cannot be produced in China, or there is no market in China, and the two of them can't help but shake their heads frequently and regret it.

Zhou Fu sighed and said: "Ming Hong is good at foreign affairs, and he is also very proficient in the strange skills of foreigners, why don't you donate an official position first, and I and Lord Sheng will introduce you to Lord Zhongtang, and you will also come out to do something for Lord Zhongtang, so as not to bury Ming Hong's talent, what do you think?" ”

Today is really auspicious, there have been two groups of people who want to donate their own officials in the past half a day, Qin Chuan is secretly happy in his heart.

However, Qin Chuan thought about it again, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat。。。。。。
