Chapter 146 Ming Light Factory
"Ming Light Factory!" Four streets across the Governor's Palace, near a not-so-large courtyard in the northern suburbs, a plaque written in ink hangs on the top of the gate. The courtyard is a little simple, the sky is beginning to be a little dim, but compared to the dimness of most other places, this small courtyard is exuding a relatively soft yellow halo, it looks very eye-catching from a distance, even now, there are not many people in the whole Fengtian City who can afford electric lights, Fengtian City is not the whole city power supply, a small motor, can not bring many households, at this time with kerosene and candles to save the use of the era, with incandescent lamp, is a very fashionable, a bit of a shameful thing.
In the courtyard, there were only four or five people, and near a clean table was a young man in a white-gray suit with a pair of tortoiseshell-colored glasses. Fiddling with the tungsten filament in your hand.
"Double helix tungsten filament, the luminous efficiency has indeed improved a lot, but as soon as the efficiency is high, the temperature also increases, and the light bulb is not very durable. Sun Mingyi frowned, looking at the incandescent lamp produced in Japan in his hand, as if he only had this electric lamp in his eyes, and he didn't seem to care much about some things next to him.
The few people next to him were no longer surprised by Sun Mingyi's expression, they were all workers hired by Sun Mingyi, and they were paid salaries, so it was difficult to say anything, in fact, the factory run by Sun Mingyi was not very profitable at this time. Sun Mingyi didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he was busy fiddling with a few light bulbs in his hand all day long, and he didn't let others touch them. I have to buy it from foreigners again, and the cost of going back and forth is a jaw-dropping figure. This owner has come back from school, everything is good, but there are more tricks, in the eyes of a few workers, isn't it just a few light bulbs. It's not the same when you install it, and it's better to find a way to produce a little more light bulbs and sell them all day long.
"May I ask Sun Mingyi, is Mr. Sun here?" Outside the house, a neutral, but also very polite voice sounded.
"Xiao Chen, go out and take a look." Being disturbed, Sun Mingyi looked a little unhappy, frowned and instructed a young man next to him.
"Alright, host." Chen Gang nodded and got up and walked out. When I went to the door, I glanced out, and saw a young man in military uniform, whose temperament looked much sharper than that of ordinary people, like an official.
"Boss, there's an official looking for you outside, it's an officer." Chen Gang just glanced at it, then hurriedly ran into the courtyard and shouted to Sun Mingyi. Usually, in addition to their production partners, they have come here a few times, where will officials come to the door.
"An officer?" Sun Mingyi was a little confused. However, since Qin Yu entered Fengtian City, there have been few cases of bullying and dominating the market, that is, some corrupt officials and officials, and several cases have been dealt with during this time, Sun Mingyi is not too afraid, he is a returnee anyway. Even if you can't get along in Fengtian City, you won't have to worry about having no way out when you go to Guannai.
"Hello, I'm Sun Mingyi, what's the matter?" Sun Mingyi put down the things in his hand and walked to the door. looked at the officer at the door and asked, but from the outside, this officer was still quite sunny, and people couldn't make a bad impression.
"It turns out that you are Mr. Sun, in Xia He Tong, fortunately, fortunately." He Tong shook hands with Sun Mingyi, "Can you take me inside to have a look?" ”
"Yes." Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, He Tong in front of him did not put on a domineering side, but was very enthusiastic, and turning people away is not hospitality.
He Tong walked into the small courtyard, there were only three not very big houses in the courtyard, a one-story old-fashioned building, similar to other courtyards in Fengtian City. The light inside was very bright, at least the candle was many times stronger than the kerosene lamp.
He Tong curiously looked at some scattered things in the room, as well as a few workers, this one in front of him can only be called a small workshop at best, and even the larger oil mills, flour mills, or sugar mills in other places are not comparable.
Even with some confusion in his heart, He Tong would not put on an arrogant posture, and said with a smile, "Mr. Sun, I am one of the temporary members of the Provincial Department of Education, responsible for some procurement of educational equipment in the provincial capital, I heard that Mr. Sun, you can produce light bulbs here, so I came to take a look, as long as the quality of the light bulbs provided by Mr. Sun is qualified, several schools under construction will buy electric lights from you, of course, in addition to the school, my boss has a deep influence in Fengtian City, as long as your skills can be in place, In the future, the lighting appliances in various urban construction aspects of Fengtian City will also give priority to Mr. Sun's products. ”
"I have a poor environment here, and my output is limited, so I'm afraid I can't meet your needs." Sun Mingyi was taken aback, this was undoubtedly a pie that fell from the sky, and soon Sun Mingyi said strangely, "The current foreign goods are cheap and good, why does Mr. He not consider foreign goods, but come to a dilapidated place like mine?" ”
If it were some former officials, I am afraid that when they saw his conditions here, they would have turned around and left.
"As mentioned above, if you can support domestic products, try not to use foreign goods. If you have money to make, of course, you should give priority to satisfying the Chinese people. He Tong smiled, "Mr. Sun, this is a rare opportunity for you, the current small stall does not mean that there will be no action in the future, the question is whether Mr. Sun can meet the quality of the current electric light." ”
"There will be no problem with the electric light, but at the moment I have limited funds in my hands, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet your order for the time being." A few schools don't use much electric lights, and Fengtian City is indeed backward at this time, but no matter how backward it is, it is also a city, and now the construction speed of Fengtian City is much faster than before, and Sun Mingyi does not have the confidence to do it for the time being.
"This is simple, if there is financial pressure, Mr. He can borrow a sum of money from Huaxing Bank, or Huaxing Bank can invest in shares." He Tong said.
"Huaxing Qianzhuang?" Sun Mingyi was stunned for a moment, he had not been back to China for a long time, and he had heard less about Huaxing Qianzhuang, but he had heard from others that his reputation was not bad. "I'll think about it."
"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Sun about your work, this is my contact address, if Mr. Sun has anything in the future, you can come here to contact me." He Tong took out a note with the address written and handed it to Sun Mingyi.
"It seems that this Fengtian official still has some human feelings." Sun Mingyi pinched the note in his hand and glanced at it, supporting domestic products and boycotting foreign goods, in the current situation of strong and pervasive economic power of foreigners, there are still officials who have this kind of idea and can put it into practice, which is even more commendable, and it can also resonate more and more in the hearts of people like Sun Mingyi.

"Second uncle, the front is Fengtian City, great, Fengtian Overseer, that is the biggest official in Fengtian City, and more than 10 million people in the entire Fengtian Province have to listen to the second uncle." Zhang Biao is Zhang Xiluan's nephew, Zhang Xiluan used to be an official in Fengtian, Zhang Biao and Zhang Xiluan, and did not think that Fengtian City had anything particularly attractive, but now I look at the green fields outside the car window, the farmers who can occasionally be reached on the roadside, and the ploughing cattle and horses that look for grass to eat on the fields. The earth dog running on the ridge of the field felt very cordial, his second uncle will be the supervisor of Fengtian in the future, and this Fengtian is not his Zhang family has the final say.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, the current Fengtian Province is not as good as the previous Fengtian Province, some people from the old army have become arrogant generals, I'm afraid it's not so easy to manage, even Governor Zhao was coaxed out of power, this position of the overseer is not so easy to sit on." Zhang Xiluan has crossed more bridges than Zhang Biao has walked, and his knowledge is naturally deeper.
"The second uncle doesn't have to worry too much, can Zhao Erxun be compared with the second uncle, he is just an outdated governor of the three eastern provinces, and his allegiance is to the previous imperial court. The second uncle is now loyal to the president, the entire Republic of China, is there anyone who can be bigger than the president? I think this Qin Yu is no matter how arrogant he is, I'm afraid that he won't have the courage to sing against the central government. "His second uncle was personally met by Yuan Shikai, he has no hair on his mouth, he can't handle things well, Qin Yu is just a hairy boy, how many years younger than him, how capable can he be?
"I have my own measure of these, the situation in Fengtian is not what it used to be, you will listen to my arrangement after you arrive in the provincial capital, don't make your own opinions, and make plans after a while." Zhang Xiluan used to be a figure who dared to fight, during the First Sino-Japanese War, he also fought hard battles with the Japanese, but the years are long, nearly 20 years have passed, Zhang Xiluan has lost the courage of the year, a little more forbearance, and the world is sleek.
"Yes, Second Uncle." Zhang Biao knew Zhang Xiluan's temper, and didn't dare to contradict him in this kind of realization, but he was quite unconvinced by Qin Yu in his heart, and he didn't need to count the entire Fengtian Province, and he also knew that Qin Yu was powerful at this time, but what if he had power, Zhang Xiluan was the Fengtian overseer appointed by the central government, and if he couldn't pass the central level, Qin Yu would inevitably be pressed under Zhang Xiluan.
"Hurry up Ma Zhang, speaking of which, this Zhang Xiluan is also a man of the hour, and his qualifications in Fengtian Province are only a little worse than Zhao Erxun's outdated governor." Qin Yu pinched the point and came to the Fengtian City Railway Station.
The Jingfeng Railway has just been opened to traffic, Zhang Xiluan went to Beijing, as a provincial overseer and Lao Yuan should meet, at this time there are not many wagons of the Jingfeng Railway, the weather is not bad, the time of the train arrival is quite accurate, Qin Yu just appeared at the railway station surrounded by guards, and the sound of the train whining in the distance came, and the sound of the wheels rolling on the tracks became clearer and clearer.
The long train carried the first Overseer of Mukden Province. (To be continued......)
