Jagged Warlord

Chen Shouting was the first to raise his hand in the audience. He stood up and said loudly: "Master Overseer is right, and those of us who do business sound good too. But it may be difficult to do it. Let's dye it with us." Let’s talk about the factory, the dyes are bought from Germany, and the gray cloths are bought from Japan. It can be said that we are controlled by others. If we really have business conflicts with German or Japanese businessmen, and they pinch the dyes and gray cloths, we Wouldn't it be nice to die?"

"Yes, yes, what Boss Chen said is reasonable." Other business people in the audience nodded in agreement with Chen Shouting's point of view.

Li Mohan replied: "Boss Chen's question is very good. Since this is the case, we must rely on ourselves and use our own dyes and gray cloth. This will not only revitalize domestic products, but also resist foreign captives economically. What is this called? This It’s called domestic substitution.”

Chen Shouting thought for a while and said, "We in Shandong's printing and dyeing industry need a lot of gray cloth, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find a substitute for it in the country."

Li Mohan said: "Since I said that textile printing and dyeing should be the leading industry in Shandong at this stage, I will not and cannot just talk about it. I am here to announce that from today onwards, as long as the textile printing and dyeing related industries are opened Factories can get two tax exemptions and three tax reductions. In addition, they can also enjoy the support of the leading industry support fund. Every time you produce a domestic gray cloth, every barrel of domestic dyes, you will be paid You can get the subsidy from the Governor's Mansion, and there is no upper limit."

"Is this true?" People from the industrial and commercial circles in the audience buzzed and whispered to each other.

Li Mohan straightened his face, and said loudly: "Why do you still want me to write a guarantee? What I, Li Mohan, say is like an arrow shot out, and there is no turning back. Today, all the top figures in industry and commerce in Shandong and even the whole country are here. Everyone make this for me." Forensics. I prepared a batch of German dyes for everyone in Shanghai and Tianjin, which is enough for everyone to use for a year. During this period, everyone should resist the expensive and poor quality Japanese dyes together, and give the little Japanese a little color."

Chen Shouting raised his head and raised his arms and shouted, "Governor Li is doing well~"

"Okay~" Others in the audience were mobilized by Chen Shouting, and they also raised their arms and shouted together

At this time, a few young men wearing peaked caps at the edge of the venue looked on coldly and quickly took notes in the small notebooks in their hands.And this scene was always seen by the intelligence agents who were mixed in the crowd.

After the meeting was over, everyone dispersed. Chen Shouting made a big circle outside, then turned back and got into Li Mohan's stingy car.

"Is there any news from Mr. Miao?" Li Mohan took out a Hardemen and handed it to Chen Shouting.

Chen Shouting took it with both hands, carefully put it in his pocket, took out his own cigarette, and said: "Thank you, Governor, I'm still only used to smoking my local cigarette." After finishing speaking, Chen Shouting replied: "Brother Miao hasn't received a telegram yet." , but Brother Miao and Boss Yu Qiaqing from Shanghai are old friends, so Boss Yu will not refuse such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, right?"

Li Mohan nodded and signaled the driver to drive.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked.

"Turn around the city."

Li Mohan himself lit a cigarette and asked Chen Shouting, "Boss Chen, have you ever thought about making your Hongju dyeing factory bigger and stronger?"

Chen Shouting smiled and said, "Guardian, don't think that I, Chen Liuzi, come from a beggar background, but my ambition is bigger than the sky. If it weren't for the Beiyang government being too aggressive, and if it was a prosperous age like the Tang and Han dynasties, I, Chen Liuzi, could pat my chest, I can make Hongju Dye Factory bigger than Jinan City."

Chen Shouting thought that Li Mohan would say that he had great ambitions, but he didn't know that Li Mohan just said lightly: "It's so small?"

Chen Shouting was taken aback, and asked back: "A dyeing factory that is bigger than Jinan City, isn't that big enough?"

Li Mohan smiled and said, "You know Germany, right? Do you know how big a large coal and iron company in Germany is?"

Chen Shouting smiled and said, "I never stayed abroad, how would I know?"

Li Mohan said: "He has 25 employees alone."

"25?" Chen Shouting's eyes widened, "Then a lot of people will be exhausted just to eat and drink." Then he said: "If my dyeing factory is so big, half of Jinan's Everyone is my buddy."

"So, that's the size of a big company in Germany." Li Mohan said, "How else can I say that your ambition is small."

Chen Shouting laughed again, and said, "I'm a beggar, and I haven't seen the big world. Don't be as knowledgeable as I am, Governor."

Li Mohan smiled, and said: "You said you were a beggar, why did you have such a future? One is that you are capable, and the other is that you are courageous. I need the help of such a person right now."

Chen Shouting patted his chest, and said: "It is said in the play that a scholar dies for his confidant. Since the warlord thinks highly of me, then I, Chen Liuzi, promise that one day, sooner or later, the Hongju Dyeing Factory will be built into a large factory with 25 workers."

Li Mohan said: "Okay, since you also have such ambition and ideas, I will do my best to support you and make your Hongju Dyeing Factory a trust for Shandong's printing and dyeing industry."

"Rabbit shit?" Chen Shouting was stunned

Li Mohan couldn't help smiling, and immediately explained: "Trust is a foreign language. It is an organizational form. It is formed by the merger of many companies that produce similar commodities or companies with closely related products. It aims to monopolize the sales market, compete for raw material origin and investment scope, Strengthen the power of competition to obtain high monopoly profits. Participating enterprises lose their independence in production, business and law. The board of directors of the trust unifies all production, sales and financial activities, and the leadership is in the hands of the largest capitalists , the original business owner becomes a shareholder, and gets dividends according to his shares. In short, it is to let you Hongju Dyeing Factory handle all the flower cloth business in Jinan and even Shandong by yourself."

After hearing this, Chen Shouting frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't that going to squeeze out a group of small dyeing workshops and small dyeing factories? Then what about their bosses and buddies?"

Li Mohan replied: "There are two ways, one is that they voluntarily take their dyeing factory as a share in your Hongju Dyeing Factory and become a shareholder of Hongju Dyeing Factory; the other is that you buy their dyeing factory, Make them your buddies, they get paid; and third, if they don't want both, they're going to go out of business or fend for themselves."

Chen Shouting still did not loosen his brows, and asked, "Is this a little ruthless?"

"There is no way. Those who do great things will always need to be sacrificed." Li Mohan said: "Besides, we didn't kill them all. Didn't we give them two ways to survive?"

Chen Shouting frowned again and thought about it for a while, and seemed to have finally figured it out, and said: "The governor is right. Kindness does not control soldiers and righteousness does not control wealth, sometimes you can only be ruthless."

After the car circled around, Li Mohan ordered the driver to drive the car to the gate of Hongju Dyeing Factory.The workers at the gate of the dyeing factory were amazed when they saw Chen Shouting getting out of the car and Li Mohan coming out to say goodbye to him.

"Our boss is really capable, and he will take a car with Lord Overseer."

As soon as Chen Shouting arrived at the gate of the factory, he saw Lao Wu from the accounting room coming out, "Hey, boss, are you back? Mr. Miao sent a telegram from Shanghai."

"How to say?" Chen Shouting asked hurriedly

Old Wu took out the telegram and read in a low voice: "Everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed."

At this moment, Li Mohan hadn't left yet, so Chen Shouting hurried over with a telegram, "Military Warden. Brother Miao has sent a telegram."

Li Mohan read the telegram, laughed, and said: "Okay, the east wind blows, the drums of war beat, who is afraid of anyone in this world. Let's start to act now and send a telegram to Mr. Miao immediately."

"Okay." Chen Shouting was overjoyed.

……Dividing line……

In the office of the commander of the Qingdao Japanese Garrison Command, the commander is listening to the meeting of the chief of staff and others.Right now, the commander of Japan's Qingdao garrison has been replaced by Kamio Mitsuomi to Otani Kikuzo, and the chief of staff has also been replaced by Morioka Morinari from Johoji Goro.Also attending the meeting were Manager Kotaro Komiyayama, Senior Staff Officer Shigetaro Kawachi, and Senior Adjutant Koizumi Rokuichi.

Morioka Shoucheng held a small notebook in his hand, and said: "The newly appointed Shandong Governor of China, Li Mohan, is a nationalist and is very hostile to the Japanese Empire. If this person is in charge of the military and political power in Shandong, it will be a huge blow to the empire's rights and interests in Shandong." Recently, he also proposed to develop Shandong’s textile printing and dyeing industry as a leading industry, and to strive to develop China’s own chemical dye industry, which will also have a great impact on the empire’s exports to China.”

The commander, Kikuzo Otani, was of Chinese origin, the seventh son of Masatoku Otani, a member of the Obama feudal clan, a professor at the "Shunzokan" of the feudal school, and a sinologist.He had a slender face and a Bismarck beard.

"Finding the problem is not the key, but finding the solution to the problem is the key." Kikuzo Otani said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Manager Kotaro Komiyayama said: "After the outbreak of the European War, Germany's sea routes were blocked by the Allied Powers, and the German dyes left in China before the war are running out. We can take away these dyes at a high price in advance, and just sit and watch that Li Mohan can't Keep our promise, and then we will sell these dyes to Chinese merchants at a higher price, which not only makes money, but also damages Li Mohan's prestige in Shandong's industrial and commercial circles."

Senior Staff Adviser Kawachi Motaro said: "I don't think Minister Komiyayama's method is cruel enough. We should not sell these dyes to the Chinese people at all, forcing the Chinese people's dyeing factories to stop production, and we will directly buy them at a low price. A factory, isn't it better?"

Otani Kikuzo thought for a while and said, "But will the Chinese people sell us this precious dye?"

Kotaro Komiyayama said: "Chinese businessmen are different from our Japanese businessmen. Most of them forget righteousness for profit."

Morioka Morinari closed the notebook in his hand, and said: "Li Mohan knows that there are very few German dyes in China, but he brazenly said that he can get dyes that can last for one year for the printing and dyeing industry in Shandong. Is there any conspiracy here?"

Kotaro Komiyayama smiled, and he said, "Conspiracy? Can he wait for us to buy dyes at a high price, and then conjure up more dyes to dump at a lower price?"
