Zhang Xiaoruo has just returned to Shanghai from Nanhua, and along the way, he also inspected the textile base of Dasheng Group in the south in Nanning, Guangzhou and other places, where factories are rumbling and tens of thousands of female workers are working intensively on the assembly line, and they have to work overtime to produce quilts, veils and military uniforms!
Zhang Xiaoruo disembarked from the dock and went directly to the Shanghai headquarters of the United States and China Bank to report to Lin Yimin on the production status of Dasheng Group.
After standing for a while, Lin Yimin didn't look back, and looked at Nanjing Road below with a twisted brow, a car with a foreign flag on his face honked its horn and rammed into it brutally, and the rickshaws and pedestrians around him fled to both sides?????
There was no danger, there was no accident, but the plaster flag that made people feel bloody was so dazzling in his eyes.
"You know what? Every day when I look at the people below, my heart gradually becomes numb, and I even think that if there is a big earthquake like Tokyo, this evil city will be destroyed! β
Lin Yimin took off his tie and turned back to his seat.
"I feel the same way. Coming back from the hot South China, it feels like two worlds. In fact, whether it is Nanhua or our factories in China, the production and treatment are actually similar, but the surrounding environment and the mental outlook of the workers always give me a depressed feeling. β
Zhang Xiaoruo said with emotion that he had joined the Zhi Gong Party, and generally knew that the Dasheng Group was serving the military industry. He sighed lightly and said calmly, "This is a broken country, and we have to mend her piece by piece." β
"Hmm." Lin Yimin nodded, his face looked much better, and asked about the production of Dasheng Group. The Dasheng Group is also an indispensable link in the armament of the Zhi Gong Party.
"Because of the cotton hoarded in Shanghai, it is enough to complete 300,000 sets of military uniforms, 100,000 military quilts, boots, hats, etc.
After more than half a year of preparation, the textile factory has completed 70% of the cotton yarn and cloth production, and the printing and dyeing factory is also working overtime, as of last week, our warehouse in Shanghai has completed 50,000 sets of military uniforms. 20,000 quilts, just waiting for Feng Zhang to pick up the goods. β
Zhang Xiaoruo said excitedly.
A year ago, the Dasheng Group suddenly received a commission from the warlords of the Feng family to produce 100,000 sets of military uniforms and 50,000 military quilts. as well as shoes, hats, and other equipment.
At that time, he was also greatly surprised, and he couldn't figure out how Feng Zhang came to Shanghai to order, and later learned that this was a secret agreement between Feng Zhang and the Guangzhou government.
In fact, Feng Zhang co-opted the Guangzhou government to wage war against Wu Peifu, and the Meihua Company handed over the order to Dasheng Company.
The Northeast region is very cold, but not to the south, it is no problem to wear a single shirt and short sleeves all year round, in the process of making military uniforms. Not only thick cotton is added, but also materials such as fur are also essential to keep out the cold.
"Make sure to deliver the goods to the north before winter comes."
Zhang Xiaoruo promised, handed the hat at hand to Lin Yimin, and said with a smile, "The soldier's big padded jacket and the officer's tweed coat are this kind of material." The best plush is used, and the raw materials are imported from Australia. Thanks to Mr. Huang's help. β
Mr. Huang is the Minister of Transport of China Huang Zhonghan, and the Huang Consortium and the American Chinese Company have invested a lot in Western Australia, and the extensive animal husbandry industry has become the best investment for the Chinese consortium to organize immigration to Western Australia. As a matter of fact. There are really not many people in Western Australia!
"I really didn't expect that Meihua Company was still operating animal husbandry in Australia? This has greatly facilitated the development of our Dasheng Group in the wool textile industry. β
Zhang Xiaoruo smiled a little happily.
"Seeing that you are in such a good mood, the supplies in the south are ready, right?" Lin Yimin nodded and said with concern. As a logistics supplier to the Guangzhou government, Dasheng Group can't afford to do anything.
"Don't worry! The production capacity of Dasheng's factory in the southern region is no worse than that of Shanghai, and our factory in New Tangshan is also working on this order! β
Zhang Xiaoruo smiled lightly, compared with Fengzhang, the Guangzhou government handed over to Dasheng Group much more orders, a full 1 million sets! Half in summer and half in winter!
If calculated according to two sets per soldier, the Guangzhou government should expand the army to 250,000 people!
Zhang Xiaoruo smacked his tongue secretly. Stared at Lin Yimin with some expectation, and asked in a mysterious tone, "Are you going to move the real thing this time?" Top dog! β
"I can't say! Probably in a warehouse for several years. Lin Yimin smiled mysteriously, and said to Zhang Xiaoruo, "By the way, I came to you today to sue you, and Dasheng Company wants to add 50,000 sets of military uniforms." β
"Isn't that enough? It's time for war! Zhang Xiaoruo touched his head. When I think of hundreds of thousands of people fighting, I feel strange, as if I have been hiding behind and watching this big battle.
"Don't get me wrong. Beiyang. Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan are about to fight, and it's another dog-eat-dog! However, I can think of placing an order from us, but I also know the goods! β
Lin Yimin said with a smile.
"Oh. So that's it! Zhang Xiaoruo was a little disappointed. But it's not bad to be able to add a business.
Lu Yongxiang is the overseer of Zhejiang, controlling the two fattest territories in Zhejiang and Shanghai, and the backstage is the Anhui system of the outdated politician Duan Qirui, but it seems to be colluding with Feng Zhang.
And Qi Xieyuan is the overseer of Jiangsu, entrenched in Nanjing, with Wu Peifu's support behind him, a central name, and another ambitious speculative warlord Sun Chuanfang, both of them pointed the finger at the wealthy Lu Yongxiang, and if they started, the sky would definitely fall apart.
"These bastards are all remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have plagued the north and the south! The wealthy Gangnam region may be smashed by them! β
Zhang Xiaoruo said angrily, and immediately became anxious, looking at Lin Yimin expectantly, "Can you stop them?" β
"What do you say?" Lin Yimin sneered.
Zhang Xiaoruo was a little embarrassed, thinking of the practice of the Meihua Company, for them, as long as you give the order to them and let them make money, even if other forces destroy the country, those people in Guangzhou will not be heartbroken, because they have to wait for themselves to become stronger, and clean up their opponents one by one.
But is it too late?
Zhang Xiaoruo sighed in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed: "It seems that the plan to invest in new factories in Suzhou and Nanjing has come to naught." β
Lin Yimin was unmoved, his face was indifferent, and he faintly looked forward to the war that was about to be staged in the south of the Yangtze River, and a large number of rich people would flee from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and flock to the Shanghai Concession.
If prepared and skillfully guided, most of the capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang that fled the war should be able to pour into the prosperous Liangguang region or South China.
The reason why Lin Yimin left Guangzhou and returned to Shanghai at this critical moment was for this matter. Zhang Xiaoruo, who is related to him, will not be able to understand Lin Yimin's hard work for a while.
Cluck!
Lin Yimin's secretary walked in, holding a pale yellow telegram in his hand. Interrupt the awkward atmosphere in the room. "Transferred from headquarters."
After saying that, the secretary Liso left.
Hearing that it was a telegram from the Nanhua headquarters, Lin Yimin didn't dare to slack off, picked up the telegram, and looked at it. Immediately laughed.
"You've got a job to do, maybe you're going to Africa!"
"Africa?" Zhang Xiaoruo's eyes widened and he took the telegram from Lin Yimin's hand.
"What do you think?" Lin Yimin asked with a smile, I haven't seen him for two years, and I miss Situ Nan a little. He knew that Situ Nan appeared in North Africa, there must be something important, and he could only sigh secretly if he knew the inside story.
"Cotton in the U.S. is too far away. The amount of cotton in China is limited, Japanese companies and Dasheng are fiercely competing, and in terms of the scale and development speed of Dasheng, in addition to India, we do want to open up new raw material markets, and I have to go to Egypt in person! β
Zhang Xiaoruo said briskly. He was a little puzzled in his heart, how could a telegram thousands of miles away make Lin Yimin have a deferential attitude?
If Zhang Xiaoruo has a strong enterprising spirit, Lin Yimin can rest assured. The Meihua consortium spent a lot of energy in the Dasheng Group, pinning on the Dasheng Group to be able to fight a bloody way out of the cracks between Japanese and British textile enterprises.
A strong competitor to the Dasheng Group is the British Pratt Company, the world's largest textile giant. Textile products and textile machinery sell well all over the world, reflecting the precipitation of the British textile industry for hundreds of years, and the cotton of India and Egypt is also the raw cotton origin of Pratt Company.
In East Asia, Japanese textile companies are almost in fierce competition with the Taisheng Group, almost to the point of hand-to-hand combat. The Mitsui Foundation has a strong interest in the Japanese textile industry, with not only a large number of textile factories, but also powerful textile machinery companies such as Toyota Industries.
Technology is the shortcoming of Dasheng Group, and it is also what Lin Yimin is more anxious about. Most of Dasheng's textile equipment in Shanghai is imported from Japan, and the new factory invested in Nanhua in the past two years is modified by purchasing the loom of the American Prince Company and the motor of Cummins Electric. The effect is good, due to the use of electric power, compared to the traditional steam power, the textile factory in New Tangshan is 10 times higher than that in Shanghai.
The introduction of these expensive machines cost more than 5 million South China dollars, and if there were no large number of orders supported by the state, Dasheng Group would not dare to spend a huge amount of money to invest in a new factory in South China. But only in South China, Dasheng Group's textile factories in China were either imported from Japan or purchased from British textile mills.
seemed to understand Lin Yimin's worries, Zhang Xiaoruo said a little bitterly: "Being controlled by others in terms of technology is not a way after all. Recently, Japan's Toyota Industries introduced a new type of automatic weaving technology, which is a new breakthrough that is more efficient than the equipment we cobbled together in Nanhua. If I could, I'd likeβ"
Toyota loom again? The Japanese who are annoying and have to be admired!
Lin Yimin muttered and looked at Zhang Xiaoruo encouragingly: "What do you want?" β
"Purchase a patent license." Zhang Xiaoruo gritted his teeth and said.
"It's not that easy. If you want to be as amazing as you say, you must know that the Japanese are notoriously stingy, and I don't think we will be given such an important technology. Lin Yimin shook his head and said.
During the Industrial Revolution, the British government, in order to restrict advanced textile technology from leaking abroad, ordered to prohibit any textile machine from going abroad, until a textile craftsman arrived in the United States and copied the textile machine with his memory, which began the textile industry in the United States.
The Japanese of today, like the British in the past, will never export the country's leading technology to foreign countries, just like Chrysler Japan assembles cars in Japan and does not move its engine factory to Japan.
"Then smash it with money! If it really doesn't work, we will steal it out, take it back to Nanhua to disassemble, imitate, and copy them. Zhang Xiaoruo said firmly.
"Hmm. That's fine! Lin Yimin nodded, he didn't care whether Dasheng Company was stealing or robbing. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )RQ
