Chapter 8 Talents
Although the trouble was successfully solved, Qiao Yu couldn't help thinking in his heart, the textile factory had already attracted covetous eyes, looking at Yang Hongying's dress, it was very likely to be related to the students, in other words, it would be connected with the alliance, or it would be a member of the Brotherhood, otherwise other organizations would not think of threatening themselves with such a scoundrel method.
Of course, these two organizations are actually the same thing, they are very deeply connected, the surname Yang has made the purpose very clear, that is, it is to ask for money, is it that the alliance or the robe brother will be short of money, it is very likely that the alliance will not be rich, and the leader is still begging everywhere, but after all these years of failure, failure, and failure have almost consumed the character, and there is no money, the alliance will jump over the wall in a hurry, and it is very likely that the idea will hit itself.
The people of the alliance are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, the factory has not yet been officially produced, if they are so troubled by them in three days, don't do anything, it seems that it is time to take action, Qiao Yu invited his uncle Bai Kuan to the office, and there is no need for any polite words between him and his uncle, Qiao Yu went straight to the topic.
"Uncle, I've asked Brother Han to check, but I suspect that Yang Hongying is a member of the Elders' Association, obviously he instigated this time to make trouble, our factory is making a big move, and there are already people who want to fight our idea, I think we can't deal with it passively, who knows what means they can use, there are thousands of thieves, there is no reason to prevent thieves, so I want to expand our circle of interests, attract more people, form a greater force, so that those Xiaoxiao dare not covet!"
Bai Kuan had long heard Qiao Yu say that he wanted to give up some shares, and now when he heard Qiao Yu say this, he knew that his nephew had made up his mind, but Bai Kuan was a little unwilling, the money he had worked hard to invest, countless energy, and finally had eyebrows, selling shares at this time was tantamount to cutting meat from his body, Bai Kuan said: "Shunqing, the troublemakers are just a little small, I have the same opinion as you, that is, some people in the elder brotherhood are poor and crazy, so they want to fight our idea, I will talk to Fuzun, send a little more manpower, Absolutely safe, don't worry about that. ”
Qiao Yu saw that his uncle was unwilling to sell his shares, in fact, he was indeed a little distressed when he saw that he had given up his hard work, but the troubled times were coming, and he didn't try his best to win over his allies, and he didn't have the capital to protect himself at all, even if there was no current matter, Qiao Yu was ready to sell his shares when the first phase of the textile factory was completed, and now he made up his mind.
"Uncle, I know that you feel sorry for your own hard work, but the most taboo to do business and eat alone, and this world is not peaceful, the revolutionary party, the party will jump up and down, the court is also mediocre and incompetent, we can win over a large number of businessmen to stand on our side by selling shares, when the time comes, whoever wants to move the factory, we must consider the power of these people, and we can't just run such a factory, I am ready to wait for the output of cloth, and then build a garment factory, and then there are ash factories, nail factories, match factories and the like to be built, This is inseparable from the lives of ordinary people, lucrative, not under the textile factory, and the investment is not much, if our money is set on the textile factory, then other factories have no way to do, and our competitors are not these businessmen in Sichuan, but businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even foreign businessmen, as long as they form a group to survive, how can they be wrapped into a group, it is through these shares, everyone holds shares with each other, you have me, I have you, the interests are the same, in order to be consistent with the outside world, this is better than anything else! ”
Bai Kuan listened and became more and more surprised by Qiao Yu's ambition, he had already taken a textile factory very seriously, but he didn't expect Qiao Yu to see farther, think deeper, and depict a more attractive prospect, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Shunqing, I agreed, but now the factory has not spun cloth, although many people are interested, but they don't dare to put money into it, I can only contact first, I'm afraid I have to wait for the production to attract people!"
"Well, Uncle first pay attention to those businessmen with strong strength and good credit, and pull them all in when the time comes!"
After the discussion, Qiao Yu put his energy on the factory, the progress of the project is not slow, he hurriedly lived for a month, the large pattern has been built, just wait for the machine to come in, and then deal with some details to be able to produce, the first batch of weavers are also recruited, first recruited 200 people, most of them are weavers, innocent, hard-working, and the selected young men are also drawn out, unified study of the rules and regulations of the textile factory, just two days ago Busch sent a telegram, the first batch of 180 looms, and other machines have been loaded in Shanghai, and they can be transported to Yucheng within ten days, Qiao Yu's mind is mostly relaxed, and everything is easy to say with the machine.
Just when Qiao Yu was busy in the factory, he suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, and when he looked back, he saw that it was his eldest brother Qiao Cheng, and there was an old man and an old lady beside Qiao Cheng, it was his father and mother, Qiao Yu hurriedly ran over.
"Why are you here?"
"If we don't come, you won't be willing to go home!" The old lady was full of complaints, grabbed Qiao Yu, looked at it carefully, and then glared at Bai Kuan who was standing behind her.
"San'er has lost a lot of weight these days, and you, who are uncles, don't know how to hurt your nephew, so you can't do more!"
Bai Kuan had no status at all in front of his old sister, so he had to keep quiet, but he was also a little guilty, it was true that most of the things were handed over to Qiao Yu to deal with, and he originally wanted to set up a factory, if it wasn't for his nephew's help, he might not be able to do it in a few years.
Qiao Guangyuan coughed on the side: "Now is not the time to talk about family affairs, San'er, I will introduce you to two talents, both of whom have returned from studying abroad, this is Mr. Tang Yisheng Tang, this is Mr. Zhao Baoxuan Zhao, both of whom studied in the United States, Mr. Tang studied civil engineering, Mr. Zhao studied factory management, you should learn from the two gentlemen." Saying that, the old man introduced the two to Qiao Yu, only to see that Tang Yisheng was not tall, with glasses, Si Swen, and Zhao Baoxuan next to him was not tall, and he was also black, both of them were a little malnourished, but Qiao Yu did not dare to slack off, the person that Dad could introduce to himself was definitely not a mediocre person.
"Two gentlemen, Qiao Yu is polite!"
"Brother Qiao Xian is polite, the boss has a cultivation for us, some time ago the boss wrote to us, saying that Brother Xian wants to set up a factory, let's take a look!" It was Tang Yisheng who spoke.
It seems that my father still hurts himself, although he didn't say anything, he secretly brought two talents to himself, you must know that the quality of students studying in the United States is definitely very high, the largest number of students in modern history, but most of them are not successful, they can't learn any real skills, and the most enthusiastic is rebellion, and students in the United States such as Zhan Tianyou, Tang Shaoyi, etc. are all famous figures, and the quality is obviously not comparable to the students, but these two are very young, not those young children who study in the United States, But to be able to study in the most advanced countries in this era, the ability cannot be bad.
Qiao Yu brought everyone into his office, but the office was very simple, there were only four or five chairs, Qiao Cheng said when he saw it: "Dad, third brother, I think we should go directly to my uncle's house, and give the two gentlemen the wind first, this is really not the place to talk, and the two gentlemen have been wronged." ”
"Don't be aggrieved, I have some questions I want to ask Mr. Qiao for advice, time is of the essence!"
Zhao Baoxuan, who had been silent, spoke, but his tone was not very polite, at first glance, this is a doer, but this kind of person must be unsatisfactory in the current world, Qiao Yu knew in his heart, why these two were willing to come to Sichuan to help him, Tang Yisheng on the side smiled slightly bitterly: "Boss, you always know that Baoxuan is not very good at talking, and please don't blame you, I think you should go back and rest first, I have some questions about Brother Qiao Xian, who is building such a big factory, like Baoxuan." ”
Qiao Guangyuan also knew that these capable people had a strange temper, so he didn't see it strangely, although he could invite people to come, but whether he could keep it depended on whether his son's true ability could suppress these two people, so the old man and the old lady left along with Bai Kuan and Qiao Chengcheng.
Qiao Yu and Tang Zhao sat opposite each other, and Zhao Baoxuan first asked: "Mr. Qiao, how do you think we should change the backward face of China's industry?" ”
"Mr. Zhao's question is too big, it is too difficult to answer, since the Qing Dynasty China has begun to lag behind, it has been three hundred years, China is not only backward in industry, but more importantly, economically, culturally, politically, military, organizational all backward, if you want to become strong again, it will take decades, or even several generations of efforts to have hope, but after all, there is Western industrialization as a reference, China wants to establish its own industrial system, there is still hope, but there must be an overall plan, Start with light industry, then heavy industry, first introduce, then imitate, and finally innovate, factories are easy to build, but the people's hearts are reversed but not so simple, the key is not to say, but to do, starting from the reform of the law, China said too many people, too few people to do, such as the current New Deal, if the content of the New Deal can really be implemented, the country is enough to undergo earth-shaking changes, not the current immortal appearance. ”
Zhao Baokun and Tang Yisheng both studied in the United States, came back from study, and were full of ambition to show their skills, but they really couldn't stand the yamen style of the Qing court, and the efficiency made them desperate, and they stumbled for several years, and they didn't do anything at all, so Qiao Guangyuan sent a letter hoping that they would come to help their son run a factory, and the two of them came to Yucheng.
But now that I heard Qiao Yu's words, I began to admire this young man, how many people in China can clearly see the way to develop industry? Who can say, "There are too many people talking in China, and too few people doing practical things." ”? This sentence just says how they feel in the yamen, and they just don't do practical things.
The two of them were immediately impressed by Qiao Yu, and Zhao Baoxuan asked again: "Which country's industrial path does Mr. Qiao think we can emulate?" ”
"Whether it is the Western powers, or I am very different from our national conditions, so if China wants to develop industry, it must follow China's own path, if you have to say who to learn, I think the United States can follow suit, but the United States has no historical baggage, compared to us much easier, especially the Americas is a virgin land, the most abundant resources, enough to support the development of industry in the United States, but China also has the most adequate population in the world, as long as it can mobilize the creativity of these people, it is enough to surpass any country."
"So how to harness the creativity of the Chinese?" This time it was Tang Yisheng who asked questions, and Qiao Yu took a sip of tea.
"Education! A century-old plan, education-oriented, only education is the best prescription for China's problems! ”
Centennial plan, education-oriented! Tang Yisheng and Zhao Baoxuan both fell into contemplation, they naturally knew the importance of education, and they were even more shocked when they heard Qiao Yu's words, it seems that the young man in front of him is absolutely extraordinary, and he is also impressed from the bottom of his heart, and he chatted with each other a little, Qiao Yuxin said that just you tested me, I, the boss should also look at your level.
"Mr. Zhao, since you studied factory management, I don't know how you can manage a factory well?"
