With Yu Huizu's approval, Yang Rui acted immediately, and in the afternoon he found Brown to go to Chanchen Foreign Bank to find Zheng Weigang, Zheng Weigang wondered what Yang Rui was looking for him, so anxious, haha laughed and asked: "Brother, you are in such a hurry, why are you doing it?" Bring a foreigner lawyer, you won't be here to smash the big brother's field, right? ”

Yang Rui was thinking about the question of when the order would arrive, and he laughed at it as a joke, and said: "Big brother, don't make fun of me, how dare I come to you to smash the field, this time I came to order again, it's really a bit urgent, I have to sign the contract now, big brother, you can help greet the German side today." ”

"Oh, my brother has a lot of money." Zheng Weigang was very surprised, he had never heard that he had to order the equipment as soon as he arrived, but he couldn't push it out if there was a business that came to the door, so he beckoned the servant to find out the last contract and draw up a new one.

Half an hour later, the contract was ready, nothing changed, Yang Rui signed it directly after Brown saw it without objection, and now ordered, and when the equipment arrives, it will be June, and the time from now to June is really difficult, but counting the responsiveness of this era, maybe more than two months is not a long time.

That night, all the shareholders gathered in the instrument hall, including Mr. Xu, who had not been seen, Mr. Xu had not spared no effort to support him, but he had never met but was grateful, but Mr. Xu also had a good impression of these young people, before because of all the things just sent someone to send four thousand yuan into the shares, the specific affairs were reported by Zhong Guanguan, today I heard that the factory started trial production and a qiē shun lì, and I couldn't bear to go around the factory with Brother Ade in the afternoon for a while, I am very satisfied with the management of factory operators.

There are five shareholders in total, so there is no pomp, just one person, a chair, a cup of hot tea, sitting together and chatting casually. First of all, Zhong Guanguan introduced the situation of market promotion: "At present, Japan's Osaka Expo MSG has caused a very big impact, the Japanese think they are Ming, now all the newspapers are introducing this great Ming, there have been many merchants who have indicated that they want to reach a distribution agreement with us, and some European and American businesses are also very interested, I asked Yu Zixun to turn around from Shanghai to talk, as for the Japanese side of the local talk, domestic propaganda has begun, the impact is also great, all newspapers are reprinting this news, There are already people in the store who have come to inquire about getting the goods, and they will be able to sell in the domestic market from this week, and the goods will also start in Japan. On the production side, after adjusting the production plan, the output this Sunday will reach 220 catties, and the monthly output will reach 4 tons. If the equipment is added as planned, the output will reach 16 tons from June and 32 tons in December. ”

"Can the production increase so fast? If you don't sell it, what if it's good? "After all, Adege is not in the chemical industry, and he doesn't know much about the energy of this kind of thing, so he asked.

Mr. Xu is not, he is a soap factory, he naturally knows the power of the chemical industry, don't want Yang Rui to explain his old man twisted his beard and said: "Mr. Yu don't have to worry too much, now I see that they have arranged it very well, this monosodium glutamate is basically no different from salt, does Mr. Yu know how much salt is needed every day in Shanghai?" Now we are making another kind of salt, and it is all over the world, we see that the output is still small, food, clothing, housing and transportation, as long as it is linked to this, there is no small amount, and now it is a unique business. "Mr. Xu is old and strong, and he has seen the exhibition of MSG very thoroughly.

After listening to Mr. Xu's words, Adege stopped talking and no longer had any objections to increasing the capital by 30,000 yuan to purchase equipment.

Zhong Guanguan also talked about the expected income of this year and made a report: "The current net profit per ton is estimated to be 4,000 yuan, four tons per month is 16,000 yuan, March can only be counted as half a month, and at the end of May, the net profit for two and a half months is 40,000 yuan; After June, the output was 16 tons, the monthly net profit was 64,000 yuan, and it was planned to increase production again by the end of November, and the net profit for a total of five months by the end of November was 320,000, and the output was increased to 32 tons after December, and the monthly net profit was 128,000 yuan, and the total net profit in 19o3 was 520,000 yuan, minus the investment in land, plant and equipment, there should be a surplus of about 400,000 yuan. ”

Yang Rui and Yu Huizu are very familiar with this number, but every time they listen to it, they are happy in their hearts, but it is the first time for Mr. Xu and Brother Ade, after Zhong Guanguan finished speaking, Mr. Xu sighed: "This exclusive business is easy to do." ”

Yang Rui laughed, it seems that Mr. Xu's soap factory is very difficult to be squeezed by foreigners. After Zhong Guanguan's introduction, Yang Rui began to introduce the follow-up plan: "This year's profit of 400,000 yuan, if it is used for investment in the next year, it is completely much, and if it is divided, then the factory will have no value after the patent period." The best way is to invest, of course, not to expand the factory, but to invest in the relevant chlor-alkali plant, now the cost of hydrochloric acid is the largest, accounting for sixty percent, if we produce hydrochloric acid by ourselves then the cost of monosodium glutamate can be reduced by at least three percent, and the caustic soda from the chlor-alkali factory can be exported in addition to self-use, you can also run your own soap factory, but also be able to produce potassium chlorate by yourself, there is a cost advantage in the production of potassium chlorate, then the match project can be on the ......"

Mr. Xu and Adege are interested in the soap factory, and the other wants to invest in the match factory, and they agree with Yang Rui's statement that they will invest this year's profits in the chlor-alkali factory, but the salt used in the chlor-alkali factory is a problem. Mr. Xu asked: "The price of salt in China is higher than that of foreign countries, and the salt tax alone will be increased by one to two cents per catty, and the price will be four or five cents per catty of salt sold in small quantities, so the price is not cheap." ”

Yang Rui had also gone to see the price of salt before, and it was six cents for a loose sale, and it might be more expensive outside the concession, and said: "Then can we produce salt by ourselves, after all, this Shanghai is the seaside, and it seems that there are some salt farms on the other side of Jinshan?" ”

Mr. Xu shook his head: "Previously, colleagues from the Jiangnan Bureau also planned to set up a salt farm in Shanghai, but after calculation, the salinity of this seawater is lower than that of Jiangsu and Shandong, which is really expensive." ”

Yang Rui heard about this for the first time, and it seemed that the salt farm could not be done, but Brother Ade said: "I see, it is better to submit a document directly to the Governor of Liangjiang or the Ministry of Commerce to see if the salt tax can be reduced. ”

After hearing this, everyone felt that it was very feasible, as long as the imperial court could bypass it, then it would be easy to trade directly with the salt farm, but how to hand over this submission? Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Xu smiled and said: "Haha, you love it, then the old man will be reluctant to make it difficult, and after going back, he will write a submission and hand it over, and then find a few friends to help spread the word, it depends on how the governor decides, but how much salt is appropriate?" ”

Yang Rui thought of the synthetic ammonia to be made later, and the guy's salt consumption was large, and he immediately said: "Mr. Xu, don't talk about the amount of salt, as long as it is used for chemical production, please exempt from salt tax." In addition, this chlor-alkali plant is not available in China, can the Commerce Bureau reduce the centigold? ”

Mr. Xu said with a smile: "You want to avoid anything, okay, just try it when you are old, this has a lot to do with chlor-alkali, it depends on whether the court can understand." But has this electrolysis machine ever been optimistic? This foreigner will have a bad heart if he is not careful. ”

Adego also agreed: "Exactly, not to mention that this business is to compete with the foreign company of Bonemen, it is difficult to ensure that they do not collude to fight any ideas." ”

Yang Rui has no concept of Bu Neimen, Adege introduced: "This Bu Neimen has not been in Shanghai for two years, but it is in the limelight, mainly doing foreign alkali, they are looking for the missionary Li Deli to be the general office, with the help of his relationship to open many branches in China, there is a momentum of monopolizing the foreign alkali business." I'm afraid, this company and other foreign companies are online, and we will have problems when we buy the machine, or we can't use it even if we buy it. ”

Here Zhong Guanguan also said: "The concentrated hydrochloric acid used in the factory is from Bonemen." If there is a conflict......"

Yang Rui was taken aback, Zhong Guanguan and Brother Ade were all questions, and asked, "Are there any other suppliers besides Bu Neimen?" ”

"Yes, yes," Zhong Guanguan replied: "There are also American foreign companies, but the condition is not good, and the concentration is not up to it, so I didn't consider it, and the German Qianhe foreign company also has it, but the price is too high, and I don't consider it." ”

Yang Rui felt that this hydrochloric acid was really a problem, once the factory was stuck, it would have to stop, but there was no way but to find a few more suppliers, and said to him: "The amount has increased since May, we will set a quantity and negotiate with foreign banks, it is best to sign the contract, we will set a contract for half a year or a year, and then make arrangements when we can produce hydrochloric acid ourselves." ”

Adege said: "It seems that the matter of running a chlor-alkali plant is still going to be faster, how much does this machine cost?" Is it fully staffed? ”

Yang Rui asked Rutte earlier and said: "Last time I asked the Germans, they said that it was about 300,000 marks, that is, 140,000 foreign dollars, plus supporting electrical equipment, a total of 450,000 foreign dollars can be done." As for the personnel, the training of the physics and chemistry workshop should not be a problem by the end of the year. ”

"What if it's the middle of the year, are you fully staffed?" Adego asked.

"I'm nervous in the middle of the year," although I don't understand what Adego means, but he still imagines the situation in the middle of the year, "In this case, the foreign engineers will have to train for one to two more months, and Mr. Xu's Chemical Association will send someone to assist, so as not to delay the business." "Although Zhong Guan is involved in the affairs of the Chemical Industry Association, Yang Rui doesn't mind pulling them out to help if he is really in a hurry.

Brother Ade listened to Yang Rui's words and pondered for a moment and said: "I have changed banks, and now in the Dutch Bank, if the sales of MSG are really booming, we can take out a loan from the bank first, and then repay the loan at the end of the year, so that we can order in advance in case there is a change." ”

These words have brought up everyone's spirit, it seems that the chlor-alkali equipment is a little ahead of schedule, but if the sales of monosodium glutamate are hot, it is a rainy day, now it is not a buyer's market like the future generations, now it is a seller's market, the larger the volume, the more others are required, once the supplier has a problem, then the whole line is suspended, and the loss is huge, which is why so many trusts appear in this era, if the chlor-alkali plant can be built as soon as possible, then there is no need to worry about it, as for wheat, where is this thing not.

After the discussion, a consensus was reached, so the following is busy, Yang Rui is mainly responsible for equipment negotiation, not only the equipment of the chlor-alkali factory, according to Adege's meaning, the equipment of the match factory can also be taken a look at first; Zhong Guanguan is mainly in charge of the monosodium glutamate factory, so it is necessary to stabilize the production of monosodium glutamate and continue to open up the market, and then to pay close attention to the construction of the plant, including the expansion of the monosodium glutamate factory and the chlor-alkali factory. There is also personnel, MSG here as long as the formation of operating specifications then the average person can be competent, chlor-alkali side is not, need specialized talents, this can only be reported for recruitment and their own training, and then Mr. Xu came forward from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in the Cantonese dialect school to pull some students over, in addition to Mr. Xu also has a task is to write a submission to the Liangjiang Governor and the Bureau of Commerce; Adego is to contact the salt works and prepare for the loan; As for Yu Huizu, he is the easiest, he takes over the work of the cashier of Zhong Sightseeing, in addition to checking the accounts, he sits in the factory store next to the instrument hall every day to collect money and issue invoices.
