Chapter 106: Dasheng Company

Throughout the commercial operation of Seris, it may not be possible to find such a complete concept of large-scale industrial manufacturing except for the avalanche. With such a complete and exquisite industrial chain building, I have to say that Zhang Jian himself really has an excellent business strategic vision.

After that, Zhang Jian's Dasheng Company successively entered the peripheral industries such as garment, sewing, leather, real estate, papermaking and printing, and by the beginning of 1898, Dasheng Company had become a veritable light industry giant in China.

Of course, when it comes to the main business, silk reeling textile is still the top priority of Dasheng Company.

Standing in the southeast suburbs of Nantong City, the third yarn factory is one of the achievements of enterprise development in recent years, after more than a year of development, now the largest silk reeling textile factory under the name of Dasheng has more than 6,700 workers, plus its branch in Yancheng and Qidong, the number of industrial workers in several textile factories has reached an astonishing more than 35,500 people, the whole company now has 430,360 spindles of spinning machines, 6,352 weaving machines, Because of the technical support of Nanyang Avalanche Group, the whole yarn mill is now able to produce all kinds of high-quality white cotton and trendy colored cotton fabrics.

Compared with the conservative situation in the north, the people in the south of Seris, perhaps because of their greater exposure to foreign countries, are much more open, making it easy for local entrepreneurs to recruit more workers to expand their industries.

In addition to the Dasheng Yarn Factory in front of us, there are now large-scale local textile enterprises in the Yangtze River basin of Seris, including Wuhan in the upper reaches, Shanghai across the river, and Yancheng a little north. Some time ago, when Chen Zeyu inspected Baosteel in Shanghai, he inspected several private machine weaving enterprises in Shanghai, which may not be as large as Zhang Jian's Dasheng yarn factory in terms of scale, but the annual output of cloth should not be underestimated.

While walking, Zhang Jian pointed to the machines in front of him and said proudly, "Since last year, Dasheng Company has occupied forty percent of the domestic textile market, and the textiles of Britain and the United States and other countries are now becoming less and less popular in China......

"Yes, there is no disgrace to the domestic industry." Chen Zeyu heard his explanation and praised with relief.

Zhang Jian said with a smile, "Haha, the textile market is so big, if we don't intervene, the money will be earned by foreigners." The big students are more or less involved and earn a little money back......"

As early as the founding of the People's Republic of China, in exchange for tariff negotiations between the two sides, Chen Zeyu agreed to the British political axe's request to open factories along his own coast. As the main force in this, the British textile factories in China have not made less Chinese dollars in recent years. What the British did not expect was that after only two or three years of windfall profits, the share of their enterprises in the domestic trade of Seris began to shrink one after another, and the losses of British textile merchants were particularly serious.

After the gradual completion of light textile enterprises such as Dasheng yarn factory in Jiangsu, the British textile market in China has been fading at a visible speed, in addition to the United Kingdom, other countries are not much better, in a few years, the share of these foreign textile enterprises in the Seris textile market has fallen from 90% to 30%, and the trade volume of hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars in just a few years has been completely seized by the business community of Seris, not only that, In the past two years, Seris's domestic textile industry has begun to accelerate the pace of tightening towards the own markets of Western countries.

Cheaper worker costs, comparable or even superior textile equipment and technology, coupled with political axe subsidy measures, it is not difficult to imagine that in a few years, the textile market of various countries in Seris will be completely lost.

Compared with the domestic fledgling heavy industry, the return on investment of the textile industry is very fast, in fact, Zhang Jian and others built the textile industry in the early days to make money. Up to now, the annual sales of cotton textiles from the private sector alone have reached 150 million Chinese yuan, which is almost equivalent to the annual customs revenue of the Ceris political axe. As long as you can get a small piece of the market, you can imagine how amazing the wealth will be, knowing that the navy only spent more than 10 million yuan to build a Ryukyu-class battleship.

Unlike Chen Zeyu, who has both capital and technology in his hands, the national bourgeoisie in China does not have many projects for them to pick and choose at this time.

"The empty factory building on the east side has just been built...... I am going to buy another 200,000 spindles and 5,000 looms from Nanyang to double the scale of Dasheng Yarn Factory......" led Chen Zeyu and his party to visit the workshop, Zhang Jian looked quite proud as he pointed out.

After listening to Zhang Jian's words, Chen Zeyu nodded, "Don't just think about expanding the scale, but also keep up with the management of the enterprise." ”

Compared with the ever-changing machines, excellent business managers are really plaguing the Ceris industry today. Chen Zeyu has no choice in this regard, and the entrepreneurs of Seris can only step out of the way step by step.

Zhang Jian sighed, "Yes, after the scale of the enterprise has become larger, I myself often feel powerless, and the original large class in the factory is now used by one person as two...... After all, this is not the way, but to train some people. ”

After seeing this Dasheng yarn factory, Chen Zeyu followed Zhang Jian to visit the Nantong shipping company under his name.

Compared with the large shipping companies in Zhejiang and Shanghai, the Nantong shipping company in front of you may be much smaller, and the whole company has only more than ten steam ships, and the displacement is not very large, but Nantong shipping was originally the Yangtze River route, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Before leaving, Chen Zeyu was invited by Zhang Jian to inspect the Nantong Medical College under his personal name.

The School of Medicine is located on the bank of the beautiful Hao River in the center of Nantong, leaning on the Wenfeng Pagoda in the east and adjacent to the Sanyuan Bridge in the north. The campus is full of greenery and birds. The 6.6 hectares of water inside are truly luxurious, sparkling and rippling blue waters. More than 1,000 meters long tree-lined paths surround the water's edge, and the white walls and red roofs of the building**, forming a beautiful and quiet campus environment, not so much a school, but a garden of humanities.

"Ji Zhi, it's too much...... Chen Zeyu shook his head and said.

Zhang Jian sighed and said, "Hey...... It's not a waste of money, I and all the celebrities in Nantong are still too young, so I have to compare the two schools in Shanghai. Besides, with a good environment, students can study with peace of mind......"

Looking at the well-established teaching and experimental facilities in the school, Chen Zeyu smiled bitterly in his heart while listening to Zhang Jian's introduction in his ear. When they set up eight institutions of higher learning in China, Zhang Jian and other industrialists from Jiangsu were dissatisfied with the fact that the government had only set up one Jinling University in Jiangsu, where there were many humanities, so they pooled their financial resources to set up a private medical school in Nantong.

Strictly speaking, Chen Zeyu was not selfish at all, and he set up a large-scale university of science and technology in his hometown of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, when the educational resources of the domestic elite were extremely limited. Clear-eyed people know what is going on at the original 866 plan, but who doesn't have a little selfishness, Chen Zeyu is not taboo about other people's private remarks, doing something for his hometown, and leaning in policy, he himself is at ease.

In the medical school, Chen Zeyu was also surprised to see many young female students with beautiful faces, and immediately looked at the founder Zhang Jian beside him dumbly.

Zhang Jian was embarrassed by him, and said in a low voice, "It was really inconsiderate for the inferior people to disagree with the Führer's education equality policy, not to mention anything else, the gynecology education in this medical school will never recruit students with male surnames......"

"You" Chen Zeyu shook his head and smiled, after a long time, it was actually this reason for crying and laughing that stumped Zhang Jizhi in front of him.

Along the way, many female students from schools greeted Chen Zeyu and his party generously, looking at these prospective doctors wearing medical school uniforms, and everyone nodded in return.

"How's the school doing?" Chen Zeyu asked while walking.

Because the eight public institutions of higher learning in China are all regularly funded by the political axe every year, there is no shortage of funds, and the school's teachers and scientific research needs are guaranteed, so as long as the students who can be admitted to these universities only need to pay a small amount of room and board, and the tuition fees are completely reduced.

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly, "It's not as good as public schools, that is, try your best to raise it!" Originally, we wanted to set up a few more majors in the school, but later we found that there were many difficulties in implementing them, and we had to give up one by one. Ji Zhi now knows how huge the political axe's annual investment in education is...... Now I just hope that this medical school can be maintained. ”

"Institutions of higher learning are not established overnight, your Nantong Medical College is just a junior college, if you set up a few more majors, I will see how you can support ......" Looking at Zhang Jian and others who were looking at him in front of him, Chen Zeyu said with a smile.

"Well, by next autumn, Mr. Ouyang Geng of the Ministry of Education will introduce the next batch of school construction plans, and I will help you Nantong fight for it then."

"Great!"

Hearing this, the Nantong political and business people present immediately cheered one by one.

Chen Zeyu shook his head and smiled, after all, Jiangsu is his other hometown, so take care of it if you can.
