Chapter 182: A New Partner
Boss Peng does know how to do things, since it is inconvenient for Xu Jie to meet so many business people, and he does not have the time to take care of these things, then Peng Lao naturally has to be considerate. So I directly found the representatives of the Nanxun silk merchants, the Zhang family and the Pang family in the four elephants. The person from the Zhang family is called Zhang Baoshan. This person doesn't have a name, but his son is really powerful, and his son is Zhang Jingchu. This person supported Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary movement and is known as one of the four elders of the Kuomintang. And the representative of the Pang family is Pang Yuancheng, who is also a bull. Not only is he a member of the League, but he also single-handedly founded Fudan University. The representative of the Chinese side is Chen Ming, the representative of Peng Haifeng and Zheng Zhenxun.
"Your ideas are very prescient. Xu is indeed very willing to contribute to the success of this matter. But at this stage, Xu is entangled in official business, and I am afraid that he does not have the time and ability to inquire into this matter. Xu Jie said after listening to Zhang Baoshan's introduction. However, this matter will not be solved in a while, Xu can provide an idea, and the specific way to do it depends on your operation. Seeing that everyone's faces were a little sunny and cloudy, Xu Jie hurriedly said.
"Listen up." Pang Yuancheng arched his hand and said.
"Xu does have some contacts in the European industry, mainly in the UK and Italy, and you can get in touch with Miss Garin in the UK and Mr. Vittorio and Miss Giulia in Italy. They will not refuse to make money, you can form a business purchasing group, set up offices in Italy and the United Kingdom, what products are needed here, directly notify the offices in Europe to purchase and buy. And my foreign friends can provide you with information and support. ”
"But I have heard that in today's Europe, Italy's industry is still inferior to that of Germany and France, and if the procurement is set in England and Italy, how can we contact France or Germany?" Pang Yuancheng's tone revealed some dissatisfaction, in his opinion, this Lord Xu was obviously a little biased towards Italian and British businessmen.
"It's good to learn from the best of others, but first you have to understand." Peng Haifeng was a little dissatisfied, and he said to Pang Yuancheng neither softly nor hard.
"What Mr. Pang said does make sense. However, Xu did not say that he would not go to France or Germany to purchase. It's just that the offices are located in Britain and Italy, and as the business gets bigger and bigger, it is natural to set up offices in France and Germany. Moreover, our procurement and tendering are open to the whole of Europe, and if France and Germany are interested, they can naturally come and talk. I'm just saying that in the initial stage, it's better to work in a place that is more familiar to the contemptible people, I stayed in Italy on and off for 4 years, England a few times, Germany only once, and France once. My contacts are concentrated in Italy and the United Kingdom. So from my point of view, it's better to start with Britain and Italy. Xu Jie was not angry at Pang Yuancheng's words, in Xu Jie's opinion, the businessman who would choose was a good businessman.
"We've thought about this as well, but the point is that we don't have the technical authority to give us a reference. We've been to Europe together, but it's a bit of a fuss at the sheer variety of products. Zhang Baoshan said with some shame.
"This technology must not be taken to the word of one family. In fact, we can hire special senior experts to form an evaluation team, of course, these evaluation teams are not able to judge domestic products, for example, the Italian evaluation team evaluates German products, and the Germans evaluate British products. And I also have some students who have studied abroad in the Qing Dynasty, and recruiting some people from them can also provide technical support for everyone. "Regarding the technical team, Xu Jie doesn't have any good way, although foreigners are not easy to use, but it's better than nothing, right? And it is undeniable that some people are still very professional ethics. For example, the foreigners of the Beiyang Fleet, otherwise, Xu Jie would not dare to hand over the biggest hole card in his hand to Lang Weili! …,
"At the same time, I would like to remind you of the following issues, first, not that the more advanced things are, the more suitable for you. Be sure to choose the best product according to your needs. Second, in addition to the equipment, personnel must also be placed at the same height as the equipment. Skilled technical workers, management talents, etc. must keep up, otherwise no one will use it, and there is no way to operate without an empty machine. Third, it is a good idea to pay attention to the connection of related industries, and want to start a factory, but with the purchase of a large amount of machinery, all kinds of maintenance and maintenance work will follow, so in order to make the factory run smoothly, everyone must also be prepared. Fourth, and most importantly, we can't just buy other people's machines to live, you are all ambitious people, and you don't plan to be restrained by others for the rest of your life to make that little bit of money, right? Speaking of this, Xu Jie's words changed.
To say that these merchants themselves were under the oppression of feudal bureaucracy and foreign capital is correct in the history books of those years. The national capitalists under the double pressure do have anti-imperialist and anti-feudal demands, but at the same time they have to rely on these feudal bureaucrats and foreign capital, and this two-sided problem is very strict, and what Xu Jie is doing now is to eliminate the servility of these national capitalist pioneers as much as possible! Although this is not something that can be solved in a single sentence, if the international situation can change with the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, I am afraid that the national capitalists who are really going to the world will change somewhat, right? The national capitalists as a class are very large, but in terms of the national fortunes of a country and the shape of the world, those pioneers in China are so lonely and weak. Therefore, Xu Jie is more concerned about how to change history from the fortunes of the country and the shape of the country.
"Well, you have to take your time. The road must be taken step by step. Pang Yuancheng said with flickering words.
"If we can, we will naturally go out into the world." On the contrary, Zhang Baoshan's confidence is very sufficient.
"If we can, I hope that after the war, we can go to Zhili, Liangguang, and even inland development. The territory of the Qing Dynasty is so vast that we can't just focus on the coast!! Peng Haifeng said.
"It's a great idea for you to go inland, but there's one thing, how do you get your products, raw materials and even equipment inland? Horses and ox carts? Xu Jie asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Xu means to build roads?" Chen Ming said.
"If you want to get rich, build roads." Xu Jie directly pirated a "famous saying" on his plane. "This can be seen from the foreigners' theft of the right to build roads in my Qing Dynasty, controlling the traffic line, controlling the lifeblood of a region, traffic is like the blood vessels on a person's body, only when the traffic line is in our own hands, we can be our own masters, and we don't have to be controlled by others."
"But in the current situation, it's difficult." Chen Ming said.
"It's hard right now, but there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Xu Jie said.
"You mean the current war?" Zhang Baoshan asked.
"That's right, you see, this war is an opportunity! I, Peng Haifeng, am an example! I think my Peng family is just a Nanyang businessman, a foreigner. And now, I think you still know some of the details of my Peng family, right? There is more room for development, and all the official positions and military power are available. As Xu Jie's ally, at this time, Peng Haifeng naturally wants to help Xu Jie speak, after all, only by pulling more people on this boat, the certainty of winning the war will be greater!
"We get it. Mr. Peng's great kindness, our Nanxun silk merchants will definitely repay Lord Xu's kindness. If there is a place that can be used for us, we have a duty to do it! Zhang Baoshan and Pang Yuancheng got up and said.
"The results are not bad, at least there is another help." Looking at Zhang Baoshan and the others who were far away, Xu Jie nodded with satisfaction.
"It's a good deal, at least we have a chance of winning the war. But what about after the end of the war? Peng Haifeng asked.
"Let's talk about it after the fight first, this war is not only to defeat Japan, but also to open people's eyes." Xu Jie returned.
