Chapter 12: Around the World

Wang Maoru did not have the idea of coming to Japan to teach sincerely, but Yokohama University in Japan treated him very warmly. It's just that the Japanese are so humble and active in learning that makes Wang Maoru even more afraid, and the characteristics of the Japanese people to learn for all are the reason why they are strong.

Under the pretext of seeing Japanese ronins wantonly bullying Chinese on the street, Wang Maoru refused the invitation of Yokohama University, took a group of people and 50,000 pairs of stockings, and said that the Japanese ship Hinomaru went south to Shanghai. He did not stay in Shanghai, but went directly to Hong Kong by boat, and did not miss the prosperity of Hong Kong, and then passed through the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia, arrived in India, crossed the Indian Ocean to Europe, and finally arrived at the port of Marseille in France.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth, but after coming to Europe, the stocking storm was completely blown. Although the smell of gunpowder in Europe is strong at this stage, Wang Maoru and his group of Chinese businessmen who sell luxury goods are sought after. Especially the crazy pursuit of French women for trends and beauty, for a time, with France as the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info, the stockings storm swept Europe.

After making money, several people were going back to China, but Wang Maoru said that he would go to the United States to see if there was any chance to make a fortune, and this little money was only not enough, so he took these people to the United States to speculate. However, at this time, the United States set off the Chinese Exclusion Act, and Chinese were discriminated against in any work, and these people were entitled to travel in New York City, from the East Coast to the West Coast. However, New York is not without gains, Wang Maoru took out the only information in his arms and registered a patent for nylon fiber stockings at the U.S. Technology Patent Office.

In the eastern suburbs of the embassy area to sell stockings to the consul wife, someone here brought him the news, saying that stockings are popular in Europe, but he could not find stocking materials but could not develop them, which caused his sales of stockings in Europe to soar. The price of stockings, which was already a luxury item, has now become a bellwether for aristocratic women and high society, and the price of the only remaining stockings has also risen again and again.

Wang Maoru only has the nylon fiber making process of making stockings in his hands, and he thought that he would monopolize the production of stockings, but at this time, China's technology and technology simply did not meet the requirements, so he thought it would be better to go to the United States to find manufacturers to cooperate.

Historically, nylon fiber was invented in 1937, and Wang Maoru's doctrine made this invention nearly 20 years earlier.

The invention and registration of nylon fiber has allowed several American consortia to see a good opportunity and see the future prospects of the hosiery industry.

Soon, several American consortiums approached Wang Maoru to persuade him to cooperate, and Wang Maoru also knew that although the United States claimed to be democratic, it was not democratic in its bones, and it was okay to cooperate, but if it didn't cooperate, it might be assassinated somewhere. People even dare to assassinate the president of the United States, let alone a Chinese?

Wang Maoru refused to sell the patent in full, and he chose a company called DuPont to cooperate, asking for a stake in nylon stockings with patented technology, owning 65. DuPont doesn't do that and requires a stake of less than 10. Wang Maoru knew the prospect of stockings, naturally refused to agree, after several negotiations, DuPont also privately investigated, found that the sales prospects of stockings were unprecedented, so proposed to build yì, with money to buy out the shares, so that Wang Maoru's shares fell to less than 20, and finally at a price of 800,000 US dollars, Wang Maoru's nylon shares dropped.

After the negotiation was completed, Wang Maoru calculated that he had earned millions of dollars from this trip to Europe and the United States. However, after learning that Wang Maoru's patent was sold in the United States, some local gangsters and white associations in the United States came to blackmail, and Wang Maoru drove them away with more than 20 subordinates with guns, and one of the team members was shot dead when he was clashing with the gangsters. Wang Maoru has decided to return to China, and in the current situation (the United States strictly excludes China), it is safer to return to China.

Before preparing to return to China, Pu Ji found Wang Maoru and said, "Let's just go back to China empty-handed, and we can't do anything if we don't do anything." ”

"What do you think we're going to do to make money?" Wang Maoru found a few people back and asked.

After all, Ma Xiaoshui and Cui Zhou have worked in a foreign bank, Ma Xiaoshui said: "I work in a foreign bank, but I also know what we lack in China, what foreign nails, foreign fires, foreign lamps, light bulbs or something, it is better for us to pour this." Cui Zhou added: "There is also foreign oil, and foreign lamps can be sold once, but foreign oil can flow for a long time." ”

Wang Maoru suddenly asked: "Is it a huge profit to dump arms?" ”

Frightened, several people sat on the ground, and Pu Ji said with a bitter smile: "This arms trade is not something that ordinary people can do, and the arms business from foreign countries to China is controlled by major foreign companies, and I have never heard that the Chinese can still do this." ”

Ma Xiaoshui shook his head and said: "If you do this job, Ming'er foreigners will send someone to blow up your ship, and the arms trade is a monopoly of the major central banks." ”

"That's right." Wang Maoru was helpless, "Then let's pour some commonly used goods." However, his horizons are broader than those of this world, and he bought a few sets of machines for making matches and foreign lanterns, and is ready to return to China to open a match factory and a foreign lamp factory.

In the blink of an eye, half a year after leaving China, Wang Maoru and others returned to China by boat in Los Angeles. When he was in Tianjin, Wang Maoru went to visit former Premier Tang Shaoyi, but it was not a coincidence that Tang Shaoyi went to Japan, and Tang Baoqi also returned to Beijing to continue his studies, so he returned to Beijing.

After returning from Europe and the United States in half a year, Beijing has spring, but the old Beijing has not changed, and it is still full of historical vicissitudes and the smell of cow and horse dung in the air.

Something has happened in the Pu family in the past few months, and Pu Na, the boss of the Pu family, was arrested for privately participating in the restoration of the clan. Old Baylor went bankrupt and rescued the bastard. Puna quit drug addiction because he was locked up for these days, but the Pu family was completely degenerate, and the servants in the family were dismissed and dismissed, and only a few old servants in their fifties were left who grew up in Baylor Mansion and were used to the old master's unbearable departure.

Old Baylor sat alone at home, very desolate, Puji couldn't believe it when he came home, the home that was bustling years ago was now so lonely and cold.

Because of doing business with Wang Maoru, this trip around the world was divided into 80,000 US dollars, so that the family life was comfortable, and some items were added, and a few old people who left returned to Baylor Mansion, and the family became popular.

After this battle, the Pu family finally understood their position, what is called a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and old Baylor finally mixed the thirty oceans of monthly money every day in the Advisory Bureau, and used it as his wine money. He didn't even go to the old and old gatherings, and when his family was in trouble, these people fled faster than rabbits.

After the stockings point was closed, Wang Maoru came back and did not let Ma Xiaoshui and Cui Zhou be idle, he consulted the two people's opinions, how much does it cost to open a foreign fire factory and oil lamp field in Beijing, and where is it. Hearing what the two people said, Wang Maoru felt that both of them were very good and suitable for being a manager, so he opened two factories in Beijing, one to produce fireworks and the other to produce oil lamps, and the two were managers and factory directors respectively.

It was named Huaxing Match Factory and Huaxing Oil Lamp Factory. The production of matches and oil lamps is simple, manual mechanical stamping and assembly, and the production cycle is short and there is no time limit. Wang Maoru personally sat in the factory and hired 20 workers for four yuan. However, what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Maoru found more than a dozen salespeople and asked these people to carry out door-to-door sales and door-to-door sales to customers. This was the main means of modern sales, and at this time in early 1913, anyone would use this method to display their goods at the exposition and wait for people to come to their door. At this time, the businessmen are adhering to a principle, the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, integrity-based, everyone is this model. And Wang Maoru's sales model has made these salespeople suffer and sweeten. It's true that there is no way to sell people four oceans a month, but it does not include carriage and horse expenses, and the salesperson has a commission. There is a salesman who went to Shanxi to get an order for 1,000 oil lamps and 100,000 boxes of matches, and this income is 20 taels of silver, how can you not let everyone be motivated.
