This section of the Suzhou Ring River is not wide, only five or six meters wide and narrow, Guo Yu sits in the hall, only seven or eight meters away from the stage, the two sides are highly parallel, it is an excellent position to listen to the opera and watch the music, the surroundings are silent, these women are singing by their side, it is a hundred times stronger than the modern theater, it seems that this ancient people will enjoy it more than modern people.

The singing of Kunqu Opera is melodious and tactful, and the voice is neither high nor low, which is most suitable for calming down and savoring it, of course, if you are not afraid of being said to be unable to appreciate such elegant things without artistic accomplishment, you can also use it as a soundtrack for chatting, because Guo Yu did this.

Wang Zhaoxiang approached Guo Yu and said: "The Suzhou Chamber of Commerce was established in the late Qing Dynasty during the Xianfeng period, this hall was built 50 years ago, and later a private house was purchased across the river and a stage was built, and now the house opposite has become the headquarters of the Kunqu Opera Artists' Guild." ”

At this time on the Suzhou River, the original passing ships have stopped, the boatman will moor the boat on the bank of the river, the small wooden boat carrying goods, the canopy boat carrying people, one by one stretches out their heads to watch, the audience is not noisy, at this time I feel much quieter than when I was sailing just now, it may be the reason why there are often opera performances here, these boatmen have been accustomed to seeing such a scene, and have formed a tacit understanding.

"President Wang, I read in the newspaper this morning that a large spinning mill has been established in Changzhou and more than 100 yarn looms have been purchased. Guo Yu asked.

Naturally, Jiang Panfa, Liu Guojun and Liu Baosen raised 90,000 yuan to establish Dalun Textile Co., Ltd., purchasing 160 wooden machines and 80 British Manchester looms. A steam engine was introduced, power traction and iron weaving were realized. Wang Zhaoxiang said.

"What is the scale of the silk spinning mill here in Suzhou?" Guo Yu asked.

"In the early years of the Republic of China, Jiangsu Provincial Second Factory was established in Suzhou, and its products include Jiang silk, jacquard mercerized cloth, etc. In the third year of the Republic of China, Xie Shouxiang and others founded the Sujing Textile Factory on Qimen Road, and improved the wood machine into a hand-drawn iron machine factory, I built the factory at the end of last year 'Yifeng Silk Weaving Workshop', and the other is mainly the old workshop-style production, but we have always had a very prosperous silk weaving industry in Suzhou, so we have 57 silk enterprises in the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce alone, of course, there are large and small. ”

"It seems that there are a lot, is the silk industry easy to do now?" Guo Yu asked.

"My lord, the tax burden of the silk industry is heavy, and now the satin tax has been increased, and the raw silk has been added to the 'silk tax' and 'silk tax', the raw silk to Fu is more expensive than other places, the cost has increased greatly, and now there are foreign silk 'Taixi silk' on the market, plus Japan, Russia, Britain, and France continue to levy heavy taxes on silk, making the silk profits exported to Japan, Europe, North Korea and the South Seas very thin, and now the silk industry in Suzhou is also struggling.

And now the machine qì spinning and weaving, fast speed, good quality and new colors, the impact on the original wooden satin yarn production of silk is very large, people produce a day, our workers have to use half a month, the cost gap is too big, so we do not hesitate to spend, buy iron looms. ”

Nowadays, Japan dragged on the thigh of the British, vigorously developed industrial construction, the number of silk cotton production increased by multiples, seized the original domestic and foreign markets, national sovereignty was weak, Japan used tariffs and other ways to restrict the export of the silk weaving industry of the Republic of China, increase the sales of its own goods, and now Japan's silk weaving industry has become the country's economic pillar industry. And this money is the source of their financing for the purchase of weapons for battleships.

The main purpose of the British and French powers is to collect high tariffs in order to increase the speed at which their countries absorb the interests of the Republic of China, and all their actions are to squeeze every penny of this country and squeeze out the last drop of blood.

Guo Yu suddenly thought that there are a large number of machinery and equipment in his space, including a complete set of textile enterprise factory production machines, although these equipment are eliminated in modern times, but the Republic of China is definitely beyond the times of technology and equipment, "President Wang, I have a batch of silk looms in my hands, which are definitely the most advanced in the world now, dozens of times faster than the textile speed of iron looms in Britain today, I think we can unite these silk weaving merchants now, form a joint enterprise, increase the number of production, Hit the market with quantity and quality, and grab back the market that originally belonged to us. ”

Wang Zhaoxiang was a little skeptical of Guo Yu's words, now the British iron loom is already the most advanced equipment, dozens of times faster than them, isn't this a fantasy, it won't be that this town guard wants to deceive everyone into shares, and then cheat everyone's money.

Although Guo Yu has a reputation as a philanthropist, but after all, he has not had much contact, Guo Yu said that the establishment of a large textile enterprise, must be a lot of investment, how can he rest assured that his net worth is entrusted to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu saw that Wang Zhaoxiang hesitated a little, and then understood his thoughts, "I am out of the machine and the equipment is counted as a share, in the early stage, a few of us took out a part of the funds as raw materials, according to the total investment of the shares, I don't have time to manage the company now, when the time comes, I will send someone to join the company's management, the operation and production of this factory depends on those of you who have a business to do, I will be a hands-off shopkeeper." ”

An embarrassed look flashed on Wang Zhaoxiang's face, he knew that Guo Yu could see his thoughts, "The adults have arranged carefully, since this is the case, then Zhaoxiang will contact the silk bosses when he turns around and do his best to set up the factory." Wang Zhaoxiang also figured it out, Guo Yu only takes money and does not manage, naturally will not harm them silk merchants, if those textile machines are really as Guo Yu said, it is dozens of times the production speed of British iron looms, in fact, it is not dozens of times, it is a few times that it will make a lot of money, of course I can't miss this opportunity. With the support of Guo Yu on the outside, and the joint operation of all the silk merchants in Suzhou, it will definitely greatly strengthen the voice of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Wang Zhaoxiang was no longer accompanied by Guo Yu, and he sued him, so he went to discuss with other businessmen Guo Yu's proposal to establish a joint enterprise, these people are all experienced and experienced in the business world for decades, and they naturally know the benefits of this, monopoly is the biggest means of making profits, they can also see that Guo Yu is preparing to unify the silk industry in Suzhou, there are pros and cons in this, I am afraid that Guo Yu, the big shark, will slowly devour these small shareholders, and the advantage is that there can be more say in silk. In the future, the waist board will be straight, and there is no need to worry about others crushing your small factory all day long.

Doing business is sometimes like this, large enterprises squeeze the living space of small enterprises, and finally swallow up small enterprises is already a habitual drama in the business sea, they are not strangers, now there is only one road in front of them, since Guo Yu decided to meddle in the Suzhou silk business, they can only follow, otherwise they will be slapped by the big waves, their small business is like a small sampan, and it may capsize at any time.

Guo Yu doesn't care about the minds of these businessmen, he concentrates on listening to the drama there, he can have such an opportunity to get close to these quintessences, and this is a special show, he is full of comfort, the smile on the stage, every move and style are beautiful, which is not easy to see in modern times.
