Of course, it is to punish adultery and eliminate evil, but also to accumulate black gold, create your own career, and make your own reputation. And the greater the energy, the stronger the attraction, and the more willing the talent is to gather around you.

The effect is obvious, first of all, the financial problem has been temporarily solved, the factory can continue to build, the workers can receive the work, the hungry people have porridge to eat, and the poor children are not sold; The second is the surge in the power of the entire group, Hong Jiubao's gang is finished, Shen Guansheng and Zhang Chunbao withdraw from the docks they dominate, and these territories are silently controlled by Xingyitang, and the disbanded gangs are absorbed by Xingyitang.

Of course, this is only on the surface. The leadership core of Xingyitang has been transferred to Longxingtang, after investigation and selection, the best and the inferior, Xingyitang's manpower is gradually enriched to Longxingtang, and after a period of time, Xingyitang is only an empty shell or signboard. On the other side, the preparation of the trade union is also nearing completion, and after its establishment, it will become the new reserve force of Longxingtang.

To put it another way, such a consolidation change is very much like a backdoor listing of a joint-stock company, or an asset restructuring. The echelon structure of such an organization is clear, the action team is the elite, the shadow, and the action is also for quality rather than quantity; Longxingtang is the armed force of the trade union on the surface, responsible for some routine operations; Trade unions, on the other hand, are large and powerful, distributed in all walks of life, and openly show their strength.

Evil cannot be completely eliminated, and it is impossible for bad people to kill the light, but it can squeeze the space for their existence in both light and darkness, and limit their power to do evil.

Although the thieves are still a bit of a luxury for Chen Fa for the time being, the training of the action team is continuous, there is actual combat training, and with his planning, some actions will soon not have to be carried out by him personally. Now, Chen Fa has temporarily stopped, on the one hand, observing the effect and trying to achieve the goal effortlessly; On the one hand, it is necessary to sum up lessons and lessons, conduct reconnaissance and espionage to gather intelligence, and strengthen the quality and capability of the operational teams during training.

Every time it is planned and then acted, it seems that the target of the killing has no connection other than the death of the innocent. But in fact, it was the action after the reconnaissance and reconnaissance, and the death of some people was to expand the power and make a long-term layout.

For example, receiving the dock, although it is a common way for gangs to make money, has considerable benefits for future trade.

After the opening of the concession in Shanghai, many wharves for loading and unloading cargo of coastal and inland steamers were established along the Huangpu River, especially with 16 shops. Most of the wharves are operated by foreign businessmen, but the direct managers are some contractors. The contractor, that is, the overlord of the wharf, is mostly the green and red gang. Each piece of goods is moved from the ship to the wharf, or into the warehouse, the light one or two catties, the heaviest five or six catties, each freight foreman often has to extract fifty to sixty percent, and the porter who sells coolies only has four or five percent.

In addition, every New Year's festival or foreman's wedding and funeral, workers have to share the gifts. And these dock tyrants often belong to the same gang and communicate with each other. As long as one dock overlord does not use one dock worker, it will be difficult for other docks to enter.

A dock, when it is busy, you have to hire one or two people, and the income of the dock tyrant is quite considerable. Because of the considerable income, it often leads to violent and bloody conflicts over the docks.

In the eyes of Jin Ye and other old people of Xingyitang, it is certainly a happy thing to increase the income of the gang and expand the sphere of influence. Although under Ah Fa's order, the new boss He Zhaoxing reduced the commission of the two docks to two percent, Jin Ye didn't have much of an opinion, after all, this was also a new increase in income.

The signboard of Xingyitang is still there, but the style of acting has begun to change, Ah Fa thinks long-term, the power of the gang is very useful, but don't make a bad reputation, even if you stink yourself.

Fa's reputation and connections are still very lacking for Ah Fa, and the amount is obviously not enough to rely on a monosodium glutamate patent. And to wait for the factory to produce and sell business, and open the market, to increase the prestige of Ah Fa, the time will not be a year and a half to succeed. Therefore, he needs to take shortcuts, and he needs to use the knowledge in his head to take advantage of opportunism and make himself fame and fortune as soon as possible.

A bloody killing, expanding power, seizing funds, and the sensation in Shanghai also overshadowed the fact that the United States and France issued a patent certificate for MSG to Ah Fa. Of course, Ah Fa didn't care about this, because he had a more practical invention, which was the exclusive product that Charlie Song had guessed.

In 1869, celluloid was born, which led to the creation of the plastics industry, and over the decades, the corresponding development of molding and injection molding techniques. However, due to the lag of the polymer substructure theory, plastics have not formed an independent industry, and some chemists are completely empirical operations in the laboratory, which is coincidental, but it is difficult to make breakthroughs.

The exclusive production made by Ah Fa can be described as a breakthrough, but it is very easy, it can also be said to be opportunistic, taking advantage of other people's discoveries.

As early as 1872, the German chemist Adaobayr discovered that after the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde, there were some stubborn residues at the bottom of the glass tube. But Beyer's eyes were on synthetic dyes, not insulation, and for him, the slimy, insoluble substance was a dead end.

But for Ah Fa, this simplistic reaction product is something that can make him gain great fame and great benefits. As long as the appropriate filler is added to this reaction product, it can be made into molded laminate coatings and adhesives after hot pressing. This was the world's first fully synthetic plastic, phenolic plastic, which was the alchemy of the twentieth century in the soon-to-be-booming automotive, radio, and power industries.

It's easy to say, but if you don't know why, it will be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. You must know that the American chemist Beckland began his research in 1904 and did not succeed until 1909 and applied for a patent for phenolic plastics. Now, Ah Fa easily snatched this honor in his hands, or stole it.

The patent application was submitted to the embassies of Britain, the United States, France and Germany as quickly as possible through Neumann, and the chemical plant under construction in Lujiawan changed its plan from an acid-alkali plant to a coal-coking plant, and the acid-alkali plant was relocated to Chenjiadu (i.e., Bailinan-now Changning) in western Shanghai, so that the nearby American businessmen could use the power of the public concession to produce acid and alkali by electrolysis.
