The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

Spn Huaiyin was full of factories for a while, and many light industry factories opened in Jiangyu had already started construction.

These include textile mills, cigarette factories, refined salt factories, match factories, and paper mills.

The spinning mill uses motor power transmission, and the machine drawing was provided by Jiang Yu, who found a 60s textile machine drawing on the Internet.

However, this design is much more advanced than the spinning machines and weaving machines of these days. Not only is the efficiency nearly eight times higher than that of textile mills powered by steam engines, but the quality of the woven cloth is better.

The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry. Once the efficiency is improved, it means that workers can be reduced, or more cotton yarn and cotton cloth can be produced, so as to obtain high profits. [

The blueprint designed by Jiang Yu has become another revolution in the textile industry, and it has jumped too fast. It is a technology of the 60s.

Under the guidance of Jiang Yu, Huaiyin Textile Factory has spun several new types of cotton yarn. Jiang Yu understands that if the textile industry wants to obtain higher profits, it must seize low-level products with little technology and actively launch high-end products. Offensive, high-end products are the ones with high added value.

The technology of the factory is strictly confidential, and any casual personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching the factory.

Cigarette factories have produced filters filled with cotton and paper. This filter uses semi-crepe paper and cotton. Semi-crepe paper has the strongest filtering ability. Of course, it is not widely accepted by consumers. It's because it smells like paper.

Therefore, the cigarette factory produced two kinds of filters, one semi-blended and one pure cotton.

Patents for filter tips have been applied for in various countries, and the machines have already been manufactured in Germany. Jiang Yu built a cigarette factory soon after returning to China.

Cigarettes with filters look more beautiful, and will not smoke your mouth full of shredded tobacco, which can reduce the entry of various harmful substances into the human body.

The market effect is not bad, and it is relatively popular after being put into the market, but the export market has not yet been opened.

In addition, the refined salt factory is running very smoothly. Huaiyin has the largest reserves of rock salt in the world. The drilling team can easily drill brine, and it is high-concentration brine. The production cost is much lower than that of sea salt.

At this time, China was called a soil-eating nation by foreigners, because the Chinese people ate coarse salt with a sodium chloride content of less than 50%, and in Henan and other provinces that lacked salt, people ate nitrate salt, which had a bitter taste. kind of.In Western countries, they stipulate that salt with a sodium chloride content of less than 85% cannot be used to feed livestock.

There is no refined salt in China, and the refined salt sold by foreigners is relatively expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

The emergence of the Huaijing Salt Factory changed this historical situation. When the relatively cheap refined salt was put into the market, it was immediately welcomed by the common people.

At the same time, Jiang Yu and Zhang Binglong, the magistrate of Huaiyin County, also engaged in the smuggling salt business. In addition to the fine salt that had paid the salt tax on the surface, Jiang Yu was also secretly smuggling coarse salt.

Refined salt is not easy to smuggle, because only the refined salt factory in Huaiyin in China can produce refined salt, and others will know that you made it if they check it. If it is coarse salt, it is difficult to check.

Although the smuggled salt is coarse salt, the quality is very good, without any sand mixed in, the color is also white, and the sodium chloride content reaches 88%.

Jiang Yu colluded with the government to do this private salt business, obviously he was afraid.

He has a foreigner background, and the private salt business is not something no one does, so it's no big deal if he is discovered, at most he will make a fuss.

Of course, with salt, Jiang Yu began to develop the soda-making industry in Huaiyin, and soon he brought chemical experts from Germany to research the modern Hou Debang's soda-making method.

Soda making is a technology blocked by Westerners in this era. Even Japan cannot make soda ash, so it has to be imported from the British Bonaimen Company. [

Jiang Yu has now conquered a more advanced soda-making method, which means that the monopoly of British soda ash in the Asian market is gone forever.

Soda ash is the mother of industry, and with this foundation, many products can be manufactured, such as dyes.

The appearance of cheap dyes allowed Chinese people to wear colored clothes and made them more durable, and a dye factory was established accordingly.

It also went well in terms of oil, and because Jiang Yu provided the correct location, the oil was drilled out soon.

After the oil was drilled, Jiang Yu immediately set up an oil refinery, while using the most primitive oil refining technology still, which is a workshop technology.

While taking out the thermal cracking technology and sending the drawings to the equipment manufacturing plant of Yuanhua Group, Jiang Yu ordered 10 sets of 3000 cubic meter thermal cracking kettles this time.

And this year, the Qing court held the "Nanyang Encouragement Fair" in Nanjing, which opened on June 6. Jiang Yu asked workers to work overtime for construction, and must produce products by the end of May so that they could be exhibited at the exhibition.

The Nanyang Quanyehui is also a commercial expo. The reason why it was named Nanyang was because the Manchu Qing used to divide the north and the south into Beiyang and Nanyang, and set up Nanyang ministers and Beiyang ministers.

……

On June 1910, 6, the Nanyang Persuasion Association officially opened in Nanjing. The main venue was located in the area of ​​Dingjiaqiao and Sanpailou, covering an area of ​​more than 5 mu.There are exhibition halls in the three eastern provinces, Zhili, Shanshan, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Henan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces; and the Liangjiang Pavilion where the host is located is the largest, with crafts, agriculture, machinery, transportation, etc. Sports, education, health, fine arts, military equipment and other branches.

The special pavilions include three industrial pavilions: Porcelain Industry in Hunan, Glass in Boshan, and Jiangning Satin Industry in Nanjing; the Lan Pavilion of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai, the Education Production Pavilion in Guangdong, and the Aquatic Products Pavilion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Fishery Company; overseas Chinese participated in the exhibition Jinan Hall; a reference hall for displaying foreign commodities.Most of the exhibits are light industry, agricultural by-products, crafts, fine arts and other products.

Jiang Yu brought many products to the exhibition, including cotton yarn, cotton cloth, paper, matches, cigarettes, refined salt, soda ash, dyes, freshly distilled kerosene, and traditional raw silk, tea, and tung oil.

This is only the result of Jiang Yu's industrial development in half a year after returning to China, and those heavy industrial projects are still under construction, so it is obvious that they will not be put into operation so soon.

The Chinese produced their own kerosene, their own refined salt and soda ash, and invented new types of cigarettes, which hit the headlines the next day.

This is naturally operated by Jiang Yu, although some money has been stuffed.

However, these reports are indeed very exciting. Many students who visited the Quintessence Fair rushed to the booth of Huadong Group, and came to witness the kerosene, refined salt, and soda ash made by the Chinese.

There are also many people who are curious about the filter cigarettes reported in newspapers that can reduce toxic components, and many people experience them on the spot.

The result of the experience is good. Although people don't know how many toxic substances have been filtered, at least they won't smoke the most cut tobacco.

When the filter tip was thrown into the fish tank, the water soon turned yellow, and the fish were poisoned to death after a while.

Although the main cause of death is the turbidity of the water, people have the illusion that the fish were poisoned to death.

The products of Huadong Group caused a great sensation, followed by various orders from home and abroad. When the persuasion meeting ended, Huadong Group had received various orders of up to 3000 million yuan, which became the most important part of this persuasion. The exhibitor with the highest turnover in the industry association.

At the same time, it is accompanied by contacts with a large number of foreign companies. Filter cigarettes have become famous in one fell swoop, and businessmen from all over the world want to be agents. [

However, Jiang Yu didn't talk much about the agency issue.

Germany, France, and the United States all have their own companies, and are currently opening branches in the UK, so some things can be operated by themselves.

Filter cigarettes like this one can be managed by themselves. Tobacco itself is not a high-tech thing, and the core of the production process is tobacco fermentation, curing and other processes.

On the contrary, the British Pu Neimen Soda Manufacturing Company came to contact Huadong Group, claiming that it was willing to pay twice the investment price of Huaiyin Soda Factory to purchase the soda factory.

The Pu Nei Men Company is also an industry monopoly company, which monopolizes the production and sales of soda ash in the whole of Asia and most of the British colonies.

The monopoly of this raw material has the most profitable profits, because soda ash can produce a large number of products, and choking the source is equivalent to exploiting most of the commodities.

Seeing the emergence of a competitor capable of producing alkali in China, Pu Neimen naturally couldn't sit still.

Li Deli, general manager of Pu Neimen Company in China, proposed this acquisition intention, obviously to annex the Huaiyin Soda Plant, following the trust route.

It is naturally impossible for Jiang Yu to sell the soda factory. His soda making technology is more than this amount of money. When the First World War breaks out, the British soda making industry will just wait to get out of Asia!

Fu Neimen Company, which was rejected, became furious, and quickly transferred a large amount of soda ash from the UK, brazenly launching a price war. However, they obviously lacked investigation and did not understand Jiang Yu's background and financial resources.

Jiang Yu is not afraid of them if they want to fight a price war, but Jiang Yu doesn't need to lose money to compete with them, so a disaster came and brought the war to Japan.

The soda ash sales volume of Huadong Group in Japan is not high, and the Japanese still habitually use British soda ash. Once the price of Huadong Group's soda ash is reduced in Japan, Puneimen has no choice but to follow suit.

However, Puneimen Company accounts for 90% of the sales volume, and Huadong Group only accounts for 10%. Compared with the Huadong Group, the technology has fallen behind, and the soda ash was shipped from the UK.

In order to fight this price war, Puneimen Company transferred a large amount of soda ash from the UK. According to the prediction of Puneimen Company, the dumping of this batch of soda ash on the market should make Huaiyin Soda Plant compromise.

However, the result was that after Dangpu Neimen Company sold out all the soda ash, the Huaiyin Soda Plant was still running smoothly, and the factory was still in full-time production.However, Pu Neimen Company paid a heavy price to block Chinese soda ash in Japan.

If it is not blocked, it means that it will be broken through in Japan, and the Huaiyin Soda Plant can still pass through the soil of the Japanese market, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

However, in order to contain Chinese soda ash in the Japanese market, Puneimen Company paid a loss more than ten times heavier than that of Huadong Group, and Japan's demand for soda ash is relatively large among Asian countries.

The Pu Nei Men Company is facing a serious problem, and they can't hold on anymore.

Shareholders obviously found that it was a ridiculous luxury to monopolize the alkali manufacturing in Asia given the long distance of the UK, and the cost of freight alone would put them at a disadvantage in the competition.

But Pu Neimen, who didn't want to give up the Asian market, quickly sent someone to contact Huaiyin Soda Plant. This time it was not a trust model, but a cartel model with Huaiyin Soda Plant.

That is, the two parties sign the market share and price.

This time it was Li Deli who went out in person, and Jiang Yu met him in his busy schedule. Li Deli couldn't help being surprised when he looked at the young man in front of him.

Isn't this the Chinese who the French call the "Little Prince of Far East Piano"?

I heard that this guy is the boss of Estee Lauder Company, and Li Deli was in a cold sweat thinking of this. If he had known that this soda factory was actually opened by this guy, he would not have launched a price war like a fool.

As a result, the price war ended, the company lost a lot of money, and it has not received any effect.

Just when they met, Li Deli was already at an absolute disadvantage.

"Mr. Li Deli, tell me about your plan!" Jiang Yu asked unhurriedly, with a faint smile on his face, but this smile made Li Deli feel great pressure.

"It's like this. Our company plans to share the Chinese market with your company equally. Both parties will have 50% of the market share. However, if you want to change the price, you must obtain the consent of Pu Nei Men Company." Li Deli said Pu Nei Men The conditions set out by the company, once fulfilled, will be able to limit this competitor within the territory of China.

Jiang Yu smiled and spread his hands, shook his head and said, "I don't think we need to talk anymore. Your sincerity is really doubtful. I really don't understand that a company that can't win in vicious competition still wants to continue to monopolize the market. .”

"Wait, wait, I'll give you 55% of the share, and our Pu Neimen Company only needs 45%." Li Deli immediately made a concession, Jiang Yu shook his head with a smile, and said, "I don't think you are fully awake yet. First of all, our soda-making technology is more advanced than yours. Second, our company sells soda ash in Asia, and the shipping cost is lower than yours. Third, our labor costs are also lower than yours. Fourth, this competition we There is not even a little loss, but some profit. Don’t mention the Chinese market to me, if you mention the global market to me, you can still talk about it.”

After saying that, Jiang Yu got up and walked out, ending the contact.

sweat!Don't have a vote to support it?
