Chapter 154: The Eight Great Jin Merchants
Liu Shu and Wei Ming left, they had to put down their work and report the news they got from Yang Yuanzhao to the family, Liu Shu was in charge of the daily affairs of the Baoken company, and knew a little more about the situation of the textile factory, especially mentioning that among the equipment in Taiyuan, there was a 120,000 spindle of all the equipment of the cotton textile factory, which attracted the attention of the family.
Textile factory, a textile factory located in the border, this matter is not a secret, Yang Yuanzhao spinning machine is really yàn, and he does not intend to hide from everyone's eyes, the next day, Baotou has been spread all over, and on the third day, through various channels, it has reached the eyes of some people who pay attention to Baotou.
Yang Yuanzhao didn't care so much, even if he knew, he didn't care, if it wasn't for the convenience of management, he wouldn't have occupied more than fifty percent of the amount in the cotton spinning factory.
Back to the warehouse, Yang Yuanzhao buried his head and continued to modify the loom, the spinning machine has been basically transformed, and the next step is to make further improvements in terms of stability and efficiency, which requires a long time to accumulate, and it takes a long time to observe and improve, at this point, Yang Yuanzhao handed him over to York, and he concentrated on the loom.
Different from the simplicity of the spinning machine, the loom, just the power, not yet, the power will make the efficiency of the weaving higher, when the efficiency is high to a certain extent, the speed is no longer the key to cloth production, but also the precise control and skills, on the basis of the original, Yang Yuanzhao added a large format, with accurate control to reduce the impact of man, reluctantly make a qualified loom, the speed is faster than before, basically reached the world's advanced level. The most critical thing is its width. It is almost twice as much as a normal loom.
In this era, the length of a batch of cotton cloth was fixed. The width also floats in a very small range, but the overall width is not high, which is because of the width of the loom, the special wide width of the cloth, not only the price is more expensive, but also a lot, that is, two together, so the quality is not good, the interface part is easy to break. It is also not possible to make something more wide.
Yang Yuanzhao designed this format, almost 2.5 meters wide, this width, almost more than 2 times that of most of the cloth, wide width, do not sacrifice the performance of the cotton cloth itself, but increase the width of the loom, with the help of auxiliary tools, the operation of the loom is simpler. Of course, the efficiency has been improved.
For the time being, there is no such thing as this, the loom needs to be improved slowly, and Yang Yuanzhao has some ideas and ideas from many existing machines. Cotton textile mills, cotton first, then spinning. Most of the cotton mills started from the cotton mills. In contrast to cotton, the mechanism of cotton yarn. It is the most profitable, and it also attracts the most attention.
Yang Yuanzhao didn't know, after he decided to build a cotton textile factory, almost alarmed most of the forces in Baotou, too, building a road, but a vision, within a few years to recover the cost, huge investment, it attracted a lot of people, Shanxi big landlord Houjia, as well as the eyes of the political envoy, not to mention the cotton textile industry, the whole of China, in addition to the government, because of too much corruption, poor management and bankruptcy, other cotton textile factories are thriving, who does not know, cotton textile can make money.
The Yang family, the Liu family, the head of the Wei family, and even the head of the Wang family all came to Baotou at the same time, as for Jiang Wenhou, Hou Jinsheng and others in Baotou, they had already connected a group of landlords, waiting for the final equity distribution, but this is not the final end, one after another, and people are coming.
Yang Yuanzhao set up and modified the loom for three days, these personnel were also in the process of gathering, when Yang Yuanzhao finally completed a modification, dragged his tired body, and came out of the room, but saw Yang Yue with an anxious face, obviously, he was waiting here for a long time.
Yang Yue, who was obsessed with the study of agriculture and rarely had contact with the outside world, was shocked, so to speak, the matter was a big deal, Yang Yuanzhao suppressed the doubts in his heart, put the anxious Yang Yue aside, and asked: "Say it slowly, don't worry!" ”
"Can I not be in a hurry, you see, almost the entire Jin merchants have moved, not only the four of us, but also the heads of the Ji family, the Qiao family, the Qu family, the Cao family, and the ten major families of the Jin merchants, just gathered in the eight families in Baotou, not to mention the original Hou family, and the political envoy behind Jiang Wenhou, the relationship is extremely complicated, and now the smell of gunpowder is full, and it is almost imminent." Yang Yuanzhao took a breath and said: "Now everyone is gathered in the Jin Chamber of Commerce Hall, when I just watched it, I almost didn't quarrel!" ”
After listening to Yang Yue's words, Yang Yuanzhao somewhat understood, why Yang Yue was so anxious, before the change, he cooperated with the four families, this time, the shares occupied by the four families will not be less, just compare the example of Baotou Highway Company, the proportion of the four families will definitely not be less. There are more monks and less porridge, and the investment in cotton textiles will be very huge, and these few companies are not easy to come up with millions, so the competition is extremely fierce, and even began to use the relationship behind them, and no one will push back lightly.
"Cousin Ji, don't worry, it's all here, right?"
"All who should come are here, and the rest are some small businessmen, so you don't have to go to them!"
"In this case, let's get all the people, and we'll discuss the issue of equity now."
"Now, Yuan Zhao, if you think about it again, wouldn't it be too rash to discuss this at this time!" Yang Yue didn't expect Yang Yuanzhao to agree so neatly, suspecting that Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand the meaning of the Eight Great Jin Merchant Families, and asked again: "That's the Eight Great Families!" ”
"What's wrong with the Eight Great Families, it's not the same as you, don't worry, I'll deal with it!" Yang Yuanzhao patted Yang Yue on the shoulder, he understood what Yang Yue meant, these are all super-rich families, each of them will not be worse than the Yang family, everyone has tens of millions of family properties, and it is a little difficult to take out these at one time, but it is still okay to take out a few million at will, not to mention, these families who are engaged in ticket numbers themselves, the liquidity in their hands is very huge, and many times, they are having a headache to find a suitable project.
Such a rich and powerful family, with local powerful factions, and even central officials, are inextricably linked, if there is really a conflict, this is almost a fight that affects most of China's officialdom, if it really wants to fight, although the Yang family will not be afraid, but it will also be greatly damaged.
Yang Yuanzhao understands very well that a group of predators, staring at a piece of fat, who is a little more, who is a little less, will cause a huge backlash, and he as a person at that time, he can't solve it, but he is not, the cotton textile industry is a money printing machine, but not much in his eyes, only manufacturing and heavy industry are the key to determining a country, a group, can have huge power, the cake is not big, there are many people competing for it, for a cake to break the head and blood abounds, solve this problem, Generally speaking, it is to use strong suppression, not only to obtain the greatest benefits, but also to stabilize and manage these people.
At this point, Yang Yuanzhao can't get through directly, and he has fabricated the name of an overseas family, which is enough for the time being in Baotou, but if he really matches these real families, maybe he will show his original form, and when the time comes, not to mention this cotton textile factory, even if it is his own wealth, he can't keep it, and countless sharks that smell fishy will swarm here.
In this way, Yang Yuanzhao can only choose another way, with greater interests, to attract these people, to expand this cake, there are many people are not afraid, the background is complicated, and Yang Yuanzhao is also afraid that Baotou's influence is not big enough, and there are not enough areas to control zhì, so it is a big deal to expand this cake, and even move the wine pond meat forest to build a large industrial base, and the funds used are definitely astronomical.
Any one percent, or even one thousandth, will exceed the imagination of the rich in this era, and the value of creating zào is also a very terrible order of magnitude, in this case, he is still worried about the power of several families, when a huge wealth at their fingertips, these families, will they think of other things, they will be directly immersed in the pleasure of making money.
Jin Chamber of Commerce, this is a relatively large Jin merchant settlement in Baotou, come here big family, are Jin merchants, even a few in Baotou, and Jin merchants are also inextricably linked, if Zhangjiakou is there, will be affected by the capital, Baotou is almost under the control of Jin merchants, is the basic plate of Jin merchants.
8 families, each head of the family, in Shanxi is a pivotal big man, they are living in the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the Jin Chamber of Commerce, Zhulan Jumei four compounds, all of a sudden the Jin Chamber of Commerce is crowded, some occasionally in the Jin Chamber of Commerce to settle down small businessmen, small landlords, do not dare to come here, the fierce guard, luxury arrangement, prohibitive.
Yang Yuanzhao didn't see these at all, he strode forward with his head held high, Yang Yue's long-term entourage had already come to report the news, and the heads of each family did not come out, but the next generation of elites also appeared one by one, familiar with Liu Shu and Wei Ming, and the rest were a group of young and shrewd rising stars of Jin merchants.
Most of the people who sat down again had never seen Yang Yuanzhao, and Yang Yuanzhao had not seen them, Yang Yue was about to cross Yang Yuanzhao and help him make some introductions, since he invested in Shanxi, he also needed to strengthen ties with the next generation of these Jin merchants, and many times, they were representatives of this family.
Just took a step, but was stopped by Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao shook his head at him slightly, and then walked to the center of the patio, and said loudly: "Everyone is here for the textile factory, let's find a room, don't come here for the idle people, I want to be able to call the shots, everyone comes in to discuss the distribution of benefits, and the expiration date will not wait!"
