Thirty-eight: If you want to get rich, the key is the second generation.

Nanjing Yunjin looms had more than 30,000 looms at the most, with more than 300,000 weavers. Nanjing Yunjin is the pride of Nanjing people, and it is also the cultural crystallization of all mankind.

Xizi said to Wang Mingming: "You and your mother often go to listen to the Nanjing Baiju, but you don't know that the Nanjing Baiju originated from the minor tunes usually sung by the brocade workers. ”

Wang Mingming was immediately interested when he heard this. She asked, "How?" Nanjing Baiju has a relationship with Yunjin. It is a minor tune sung by the tapestry weavers. That's weird. ”

The master said, "The third aunt is like this. In the earliest days, the brocade weavers sang their own tunes in the Nanjing dialect during their breaks.

"You sing a part, I sing a part, entertain yourself. Whoever wants to listen to it can listen to it, and no money is charged. That is to say, Bai sings a game for everyone to hear, so it is called Bai Bureau.

"The weavers here all sing, and when they are resting, they get together to sing their own white bureaus, which the general manager appreciates.

"Our ancestors included it in our corporate culture very early. Organized several young workers to set up a team to perform in various companies and factories. Very popular. Later you will have the opportunity to listen to them sing. ”

The master is an old man from the foreign bank, he knows his mother's corporate culture very well, and the foreign company has a night school, every Monday and Friday, two classes, each class is two hours.

There are literacy classes, calligraphy classes, performance teams, and martial arts classes in the evening school. There is no tuition fee. The teacher is a technician and teacher of a foreign bank. The master finished his literacy class here. I can read the newspaper now.

Employees and their families of foreign banks, residents of nearby neighborhoods, and workers of factories can come to study. Kiko and her mother-in-law also went to teach. The reputation of the school is great, and it is full of people.

The computer room here is the industry of a foreign company, and at the earliest time, my mother-in-law only bought one machine, and my mother-in-law was also crossing the river by feeling the stones. If you can't break out, the loss is not big.

Later, the business went smoothly and another one was added. By the time Xizi took over, the Yunjin produced here could no longer keep up with the sales situation. He decided to invest in what he is now.

After graduating from high school, Kiko worked as a salesman, ran in the marketing business, and worked as a production manager.

The mother-in-law is very strict with Kiko. She often said that there are no more than three generations of poverty, but no more than three generations of rich. If you want to get rich, the key is the second generation.

Xizi said to Wang Mingming, "The Yunjin we produce every year is not enough to sell, so we have to buy from the Yunjin produced by others." This requires us to be proficient in the craftsmanship of Yunjin.

"Only with a certain level of technology can you see the quality of the goods at a glance.

"You have to be prepared, in the future, the things in the computer room will be handed over to you to manage, and you have to learn from the master seriously. The masters here have rich production experience.

"Only when you understand the value of Yunjin and are proficient in its craftsmanship can you manage it well."

The master said in surprise: "The third aunt is too good to be able to manage the computer room, the third aunt is too knowledgeable, and she is smart, and she must be the authority of Nanjing brocade in the future." It must be a well-known figure at home and abroad. ”

Wang Mingming was very happy to see that these masters welcomed her very much, she knew that it was not easy to do a good job in the production of Yunjin, and she had to work hard.

Take that design drawing, for example, she had seen it, but she couldn't understand it at all. She was a little timid when she thought of this.

The meal was served on the table during the conversation, four dishes and one soup. Kiko said, "This is our working meal. Sign the menu after the meal, and they are so good that the foreign bank will reimburse them.

Drivers, attendants or other people come to eat in the kitchen, and the same as the staff, one dish and one soup with side dishes, it is better to eat full.

"The company manages the employees for a meal, and the company can't spend a few dollars, but it has a very good effect on mobilizing the enthusiasm of the employees."

"I know that many companies are reluctant to spend this money. Some companies keep the wages of their employees low. Hard to squeeze oil and water from employees. ”

"These companies are in a period of capital accumulation," Kiko said. The banner of their company is forever dripping with the blood and tears of the employees. ”

After the meal, Xizi and Wang Mingming inspected the production situation on the spot. When they came out of the computer room, Xizi said, "Let's enter the city from Yuhuamen to the Confucius Temple." The driver said, "Got it." ”

The car made a turn and headed east. Xizi pointed to a row of factories on the side of the Qinhuai River and said to Wang Mingming: "Look at those factories, there is the Jinling Arsenal. Have you been here in the past?

"It was founded here in 1865 by Li Hongzhang, and it was called the Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau at that time, which was the gun factory, and now it is called the arsenal."

Wang Mingming said: "I haven't been here before, I know a little bit about it in books." I've also heard from my teacher. The mention of the arsenal always feels very mysterious.

Today I saw the arsenal, although it looks nothing special from the outside, but it is very fresh. I was scared to see the gun-wielding sentries. Don't dare to look.

Xizi said: "In those years, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, and Zuo Zongtang engaged in the Westernization Movement together, and in 1861, Zeng Guofan first founded the Anqing Ordnance Institute in Anqing.

"They advocate learning from the advanced technology of the West to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Whether the Westernization Movement was patriotic or traitorous was fiercely debated in academic circles in the past. Many people scolded them as foreign slaves.

"It's the Republic of China now, and there's still a lot of debate about their Westernization movement. Looking back, I think they should be sure that they are engaged in Westernization movements.

"If a country wants to progress and develop, it must learn from advanced countries. Take my mother as an example, she came back from studying in France. She started business later than others and developed faster than others. What is the reason.

"It's because she has an advanced mind and accepts Western business models and management methods."

As he spoke, the car entered the city from Yuhuamen. Xizi said: "Yuhuamen was opened in 1935 to facilitate transportation, and the pace of construction in Nanjing can be seen from the newly opened city gates in Nanjing.

"Nanjing has developed and prospered. Our company will do bigger. By the time you take over, you'll have a heavy load. ”

The car entered Yuhuamen and arrived at Wuyi Lane in a blink of an eye, and Xizi asked, "Mingzi, have you been here?" ”

Wang Mingming said, "No." The teacher wouldn't let us come to this brought. Say it's a bright place, we're students, and it's not for us. ”

Kiko said, "What the teacher said is right. This place has all kinds of religions. It is a place where gangsters, gamblers, drunkards, prostitutes and prostitutes gather.

"You're going to be dazzled and your mind will be messed up when you get here. It's easy to learn bad, but it's hard to learn well. Look over there, the flamboyant women in front of the door are prostitutes. They're soliciting customers. ”

Wang Ming was very scared when he saw those prostitutes soliciting customers, how could these women not be shy at all, and when they saw the men going up, they dragged them into the house with their arms in their arms.

Some men broke free and ran away, and some men were pushed into the house by several prostitutes. Wang Mingming was so frightened that his head shrank. I'm afraid they'll come and pull themselves in.

Kiko said, "You see the girl on the boat here is singing. Some of them specialize in singing, called singers. There is also a type called geisha. Their business is mainly at night.

"But this is also a place where literati and scholars, dignitaries and nobles gather. Merchants drink tea and talk about business here, and tourists taste snacks here.

"Bird lovers, flower lovers, there is a flower and bird market. Those who love to listen to books have a bookstore, and those who love to listen to dramas have a theater. There is also a casino.

"Those who like to listen to cross talk are not here, in Xinjiekou. The people listening to cross talk there are full every day. There are also small goods that the girl's family likes, and antiques that collectors like. In short, everything you need. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I have heard what you said very freshly. But not interested, what I like is not available here. Let's go. ”

Kiko said, "Don't worry. Something you like is also available here. Like this inconspicuous alley in front of you is called Wuyi Lane, which is the location of the barracks of the Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period.

"At that time, the sergeants were wearing black uniforms, so it was named 'Wuyi Battalion', and later the army left, and this place was renamed Wuyi Lane.

"Do you still remember the weeds and flowers by the Suzaku Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley.' verses. It is very vivid to write about the prosperous scene here at that time.
