Subsequently, Qin Di called the general manager of Mingzhou Home Textiles.

The general manager's name is "Li Anqing", with a thin face, a peaked cap and a leather jacket.

He once studied in the United States, and after returning to China, he became the manager of the "Dasheng Textile Factory", and he was not very old, just over forty years old.

Qin Di said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I invited you here to ask you one thing: Is it possible to produce cashmere, flannel, tweed and linen and other suit fabrics in China?"

Li Anqing shook his head: "It's difficult, it's too difficult! These things all require special technology, and it costs a lot of money to purchase new machinery, and it may not be possible to get qualified products." ”

Qin Di said: "I have sufficient funds, and it is not a problem to purchase new machinery. ”

Li Anqing still shook his head: "No! Mr. Qin, now is not the time to put on a new machinery! If you have time, please listen to me, and I will tell you about the current predicament of the textile industry!"

"Okay, you say, I'll listen!"

"Mr. Qin, you may not know that in recent years, the textile business has not been doing well because it has been deliberately squeezed by Japan...... According to the information I have, there are currently 60 textile factories in the entire magic capital, and the Japanese account for half of the total! There are 30,000 looms, 8,700 Chinese factories, and 17,000 Japanese factories...... Of the 2.66 million spindles, the Japanese controlled 50%, and the Chinese accounted for only 30% of the Anglo-American and Russian merchants...... I think that the production of cashmere is not important, the most important thing is to protect the cotton textile industry, which is the key to the security of the country......"

Qin Di couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked, "The Japanese are so ignorant, why do they open so many yarn factories in the magic capital? What do they mean?"

Li Anqing explained: "Because Japan produces very little cotton, and China is a big cotton-producing country, Japan has built factories in the magic capital on a large scale, not only consuming our cotton, but also trying its best to exploit our workers! Whether it is the clothes of Japanese civilians or the clothes of the Japanese army, they are inseparable from the cotton textile ......factories in the magic capital."

Qin Di was a little depressed: "Except for the magic capital, is the domestic cotton textile industry very difficult?"

"Yes, the magic capital, Qingdao, and Tianjin, are the three major textile industry gathering cities in China, in addition, there are some small textile factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all of which are currently in trouble...... In the final analysis, the foreigners took control of the customs, the Japanese warships cruised in the Yangtze River, and the whole country was riddled with holes......"

Hearing this, Qin Di has lost interest in industrial upgrading! China can't even keep basic cotton textiles! What kind of high-end suit fabrics are there? Isn't that picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?

He chatted with Li Anqing for a while, thought about it seriously, and decided to move the textile factory as soon as possible, even if he didn't move the original factory, he would build another Mingzhou home textile in the western region!

Because once the war starts, the magic capital, Tianjin and Qingdao are all in the hands of the Japanese, and the common people in the Kuomintang will be very difficult, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to buy cotton cloth!

So, from this day on, Qin Di seriously considered preparing for war and preparing for famine.

It stands to reason that textiles involve national plans and should be considered by the government of the Republic of China, but Mr. Qing is powerless to control it, and no one in the Qingbai Party cares! Since Qin Di has robbed a lot of money, he should also contribute something to the country!

He assigned his subordinate Sun Sheng to Chengdu to build a large textile factory in Jinguancheng.

Why was it built in Chengdu? Because Chengdu has a large number of people, it is easy to recruit female workers with basic education. Moreover, during the war, Chengdu was not bombed by the Japanese, and Chongqing was bombed indiscriminately for several years.

Originally, Qin Di wanted to build a textile factory in Dukou City, but the ferry was located in Xikang, which was too remote. Moreover, there was a large steel mill there, which attracted the attention of the Japanese, and planes were sent to bomb it several times.

Qin Di couldn't eat the range of the Japanese plane and didn't want to put his eggs in one basket.

In addition, he also sent Zhou Ming to Chongqing, on the north side of the Cathay Pacific Pharmaceutical Factory, to build a large area of real estate in the mountains, and be sure to dig more air-raid shelters.

At the beginning, Guotai Pharmaceutical established a branch in Chongqing, and the location chosen was relatively remote, on the east side of Geyue Mountain in the west of the city, surrounded by many forests and green trees.

According to Qin Di's estimate, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, her mother Zhu Wan and sister Qin Ling would eventually go to Chongqing, because they both had official status and were outstanding representatives of Chinese women.

Just imagine, Zhu Wannai is the honorary president of the Academia Sinica, and Qin Ling is still the vice minister of health! If you say that the Japanese have called, if they have escaped without a trace, will it not be a disgrace to their personal image? In any case, they should also sit in Chongqing to boost the national spirit and make contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

Although it is said that Chongqing has endured the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Japanese planes, the main reason is that the losses in the first two years were very large, and the losses were greatly reduced when an early warning system was established in the later period.

Qin Di instructed Zhou Ming to build a large number of houses in Geyue Mountain at the same time, but also to build a few special houses, which look ordinary on the outside, comfortable and luxurious on the inside, especially the air-raid shelter should be repaired into the mountain rock, and the aerial bombs should not be blown through!

Soon, Zhou Ming arrived in Chongqing, and according to his requirements, hired more than 300 construction workers, bought a large area of mountainous land, and excavated quietly.

Because there are many workers doing the work, it has attracted people's attention.

The people around were surprised and came to inquire about what they were doing.

Some people thought they were digging ancient tombs, and rumors spread and made a fuss.

Warlord Janssen received the report and sent someone over to inquire about it.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to go and explain, saying that the Qin family wanted to build a large pharmaceutical factory here, and after it was put into production in the future, he would not forget the benefits of the general.

In fact, Yang Sen, as a Sichuan warlord, also had private contacts with the Qin family in order to buy medicine from Guotai Pharmaceutical, and they were not strangers to each other. In addition, the Qin family made great efforts to rescue the Sichuan earthquake, and the newspaper rated it very highly, so when he heard that the Qin family built a factory, he instructed his subordinates to give a green light all the way and no one stopped him.

While Qin Di was building a large number of buildings, he also purchased a large amount of cotton, flax, grain, sugar and edible oil from abroad.

The money he stole from the three eastern provinces, except for the gold bricks that were not used, silver and foreign currency were spent little by little and converted into reserve materials, which are bound to be returned to the people of the Kuomintang in the future.

He didn't want to make money at all when he did these things, and he couldn't spend all the money in his hand, so why should he exploit the people of his own country again? Wouldn't it be more interesting to have the ability to go to the international market and make money from foreigners?

And not only these materials, when New China is founded in the future, he will hand over all the gold he has robbed to the treasury!

He won't keep what he shouldn't enjoy.

And he has already possessed too much wealth by relying on the Cathay Pacific pharmaceutical factory, coupled with his investment in the United States.

As a cultivator, making money is equivalent to playing games. Even if he doesn't have a penny, he can make a lot of money by going to the Hong Kong Racecourse to bet on horses out of thin air.
