Chapter 519: Trouble Finally Came
On September 26, 51st year of Kangxi, the old man issued an edict to approve the invention and promotion plan of the Ministry of Industry played by Hongqing, and immediately, the huge machine of the Ministry of Industry was already running at high speed, first of all, Beijing, Tangshan, Wuhu three old smelting workshops began to upgrade, with the support of a huge amount of silver, the progress was extremely rapid, at the same time, two construction sites in the northern suburbs of Beijing are also under intense construction, the toothpaste factory and match factory to be built, as for the research institute to which the manufacturing library belongs, it has been expanded again, A huge mansion was built in the western suburbs, as the office location of the research institute, and on the third day of February in the 52nd year of Kangxi, through the newspaper to openly recruit talents interested in scientific research from all over the country, for a time the government and the opposition were sensational, but the sensation was a sensation, and there were very few people who went to the Ministry of Industry to register for the examination.
The recruitment notice of the research institute has not achieved much practical results, and there are inevitably some noises in the court, but Hongqing does not care at all, there is no side, just because this situation has long been expected by Hongqing, he did not expect that this recruitment notice can really recruit many talents, what he wants is just the sensational effect of this recruitment notice, in order to do some foreshadowing for the next step, after the light industrial products such as matches are successfully introduced to the market, Hongqing has its own means to let the world's talents to invest.
On the fifth day of March in the 52nd year of Kangxi, after more than half a year of intensified construction, the toothpaste factory was completed, and the trial production was successful the next day.
On the third day of May in the 52nd year of Kangxi, after nearly two months of preparation, the two factories affiliated to the Ministry of Industry finally started to list the goods, using the huge marketing network of "Kirin Firm", almost listed in large and medium-sized cities across the country at the same time, but not as soon as it came up to sell, but in the mode of on-site exhibition and sending small sample gifts, the three commodities were pushed to the market in a grand and heavy place, and at the same time, a large number of advertisements were published in the "Jingshi Times", and a large number of relevant reports, of course, did not forget to send refined tributes to the palace, and the propaganda offensive can be described as overwhelming.
Fire, fire! Under such a sharp propaganda offensive, the people who have never seen such a battle are all attracted by three small commodities, whether they get gifts or not, all they are talking about are this matter, the three small commodities have not been officially sold, they have become famous all over the world, all kinds of merchants have heard the wind and moved, the branches of the "Kirin Firm" are crowded, all of them are to inquire, and there are many people who propose to underwrite a place, but no matter how sincere these merchants are, the answer they get is the same, that is the "Kirin Firm" There is no right to decide these three commodities, and all those who want to invest in these three commodities must negotiate with the Ministry of Industry in person.
The Jingshi Lu Yao, the Yamen Sea is deep, obviously not ordinary people dare to touch, the merchants who are not strong enough in various places have basically extinguished the heart of competition, but there are still many businessmen who think that they are strong and confidently rush to the Beijing Division, in order to be able to grab the right to operate these small commodities as soon as possible, not to mention the big businessmen with backgrounds in Beijing, almost all the relationships that can be launched have been activated, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry has a rare idle time.
Under the changing situation, many officials of the Ministry of Industry are excited and can't help but be a little flustered, no side, who doesn't have three friends and four friends, this time for the management of these three small commodities, I don't know how many people have come to it, especially those high-ranking palm prints Lang Zhong is annoyed to be annoyed, but the person in charge is Hongqing, although the big guy is forced to be embarrassed by the world, but no one dares to openly intercede with Hongqing, under the hardship, complaints inevitably arise.
Although no one dared to complain in front of Hongqing, the chaotic situation in the Ministry of Industry was obvious, and Hongqing could not see it, but Hongqing was not in a hurry, and released a third fire - once again in the "Jingshi Times" published a large advertisement, announcing that it would be held on the first day of June in the manufacturing warehouse research institute in the western suburbs of Beijing. But all interested merchants can come to the scene to compete fairly, and there is only one requirement - bring enough silver tickets!
As soon as the advertisement came out, the world shook, and the big businessmen who were still waiting and watched couldn't sit still this time, you must know that this is nearly 30 inventions, not to mention the sensation caused by toothpaste and matches, it is said that the "Kirin Firm" of the year is just a soap, and it has developed into a giant that is now almost all over the country, if you can win an invention, you may not be able to reproduce the success of the "Kirin Firm", so the world's giants have set out, from all directions to the Beijing Division converged.
"Lord Wang, Qian Dagui, the shopkeeper of Anhui's 'Fengkai Firm', has rushed to Beijing!"
"Lord Yu, Wan Shunhe, the shopkeeper of Liangjiang's 'Yuanfeng Firm', has set off to come to Beijing!"
"Lord Yu, the rich merchant of Jinling's Shunyuan firm; The shopkeeper Qi Dakai has left Jinling and is rushing to Beijing! ”
……
With the existence of "sharp knife" and "unicorn firm", Hongqing's ears and eyes can be said to be all over the country, it can be said that the movements of those famous and famous businessmen in the shopping mall are all in Hongqing's grasp, with the "Beijing Times" issued to various places, the vast majority of giant businessmen are unable to stabilize their minds, regardless of whether they really intend to invest, all of them rushed to Beijing, and the good news came one after another, which was really exciting.
"Lord Wang, Kang Wanming, the shopkeeper of Shanxi's 'Risheng Qianzhuang', Xiao Lufeng, the shopkeeper of 'Huicun Qianzhuang', and Wang Dayou, the shopkeeper of Jinan's Heshun Qianzhuang in Shandong, have all secretly arrived in Beijing.
The world can't be smooth sailing, often after the good news comes, the bad news follows, no, early this morning, Hongqing just arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Liu Size has already come in disguise, but this time it is not good news.
"Oh? Is the news true? ”
As soon as he heard Liu Size's words, Hongqing's heart immediately sank, no side, the funds that this gang of money bank treasurers can call are too huge, and the relationship network is also amazingly large, if they really join forces to rig bids, no one can really rob them, the problem is that after these guys win these projects, they may not be in a hurry to put into production, at least not all of them will be put into production, so that Hongqing's idea of obtaining funds for water control and road construction from investment promotion is bound to have the possibility of bankruptcy. Thinking of the role of the central bank in it, it can't help but give Hongqing a headache, but fortunately, the city government is deep, but it will not be brought to his face, so he just asked quietly.
"Back to the prince's words, the news should be true, but it is said by Xiao Lufeng, the shopkeeper of the 'Hui Deposit Bank', that Xiao Yifeng, the account manager who was waiting in front of him, is a member of my gang, and his subordinates have sent more people to keep an eye on the money rats."
The stakes were so high that Liu Ize didn't dare to be ambiguous, so he hurriedly reported the source.
"Well, keep a watchful eye on it, don't startle the snake, go."
Liu Size is Hongqing's absolute confidant, his words, Hongqing can be trusted, and he will no longer chatter and ask questions, so he waved his hand and commanded calmly.
"Wow!"
Liu Ize has been following Hongqing for many years, and he knows that this matter is important, how dare he delay it, so he hurriedly responded, and left in a hurry.
Things are tricky!
Don't look at Hongqing's face seems to be calm as usual, but in fact, in his heart, he has already boiled the pot, and there is nothing to do, just because he knows very well that the reason why the bosses of the money bank act like this is of course driven by interests, but more I am afraid that Hongli is playing ghosts in it, as for whether the eighth master's side is also involved, it is still difficult to reverse, but no matter what the situation of the eighth master is, the current situation alone is enough for Hongqing to have a headache - although Hongli has never gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry, but after all, he is the identity of the assistant, I have been in the Ministry of Industry for a few years, although there are few subordinates, but it is not nothing, plus there are several palm prints of Chen Busi and other eight masters, and the movements in the Ministry of Industry can be categorically concealed, obviously, the bidding documents have been known to Hongqing, otherwise, it will not be such a bid-rigging conspiracy.
What to do?
The enemy is in the dark, I'm in the light, the situation is obviously not very favorable, the boss of the gang of money banks is not only rich, but also has a wide range of people, and they can't be easily touched, besides, these guys haven't broken the law, and there is no excuse for arresting people, and if you want to refuse this gang of money rats to be shortlisted, there must be a reason, right? Hard blocking is definitely not good, if you really refuse the entry of these people, I am afraid that the bullet will fly all over the sky, and it can't be stopped - those money bank bosses only need to find some spokespersons to be shortlisted, which is enough to completely mess up the investment promotion!
"Someone!"
Hongqing walked back and forth in the office for a while, but still couldn't come up with a clue, just when he was upset and irritable, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and his body suddenly slammed down, he already had an idea, but when he saw the corner of Hongqing's mouth, he already showed a playful smile.
"The last general!"
Hongqing said this, Li Minxing, who was waiting outside the door, didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly turned in from behind the screen, and answered the promise loudly.
"Go, please come here immediately."
Hongqing didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order straightforwardly.
"Wow!"
Li Minxing responded respectfully, then turned around and walked out of the office, asking no one to mention it.
