When Wang Jitong arrived, Yu Qiaqing's carriage also arrived - in order to win over Yu Qiaqing, the match factory let him occupy a large share, and together with this factory, Yu Daboss was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and the sedan chair was too slow to sit, so it was replaced by a Western carriage. But he was busy, but after half a year, he found that he had no way to manage the factory at all, and the more he managed it, the more chaotic it became. Different from monosodium glutamate and chlor-alkali factory, this match factory is a labor-intensive industry, there were more than 500 workers before the opening at first, and a lot of workers were recruited after the opening, and there were more than 1,000 workers. Within a few days, the factory area smelled of urine - because the factory was managed by piecework, the toilet was too far away, and the worker comrades solved it on the spot.

Later, there was really no way, so dozens of team leaders were transferred from the MSG factory and the training class, and it was slowly standardized after the five-day shutdown was reorganized. There is also the internal quality and cost control is not easy to grasp, the cost is far beyond the design standard, of course, this problem also takes time to solve, the contradiction between the quality and cost of any factory is existing. However, if these things can be improved slowly, then the problem of raw materials is very tricky. The chemical raw materials are okay, after all, Yang Rui has spent a lot of thought, and the red phosphorus that cannot be produced by himself has also bypassed the foreign industry, and the supplier has been selected from Germany, but he has calculated a lot, and he can't imagine that there is a problem with the match stalk, which is also the reason why Yang Rui comes from later generations and takes the match industry for granted.

In addition to the chemical raw materials of match heads, the raw materials of matches are extremely important. The source of the matchstem is also important. Although this match stalk is wood, it is not an ordinary tree that can be used, in addition to the cost, it also requires that the material is relatively soft, and the color is best to be snow white. There was no problem with these timber in the Northeast when there was no war, and the timber in the Northeast was confiscated by the Japanese and could not be transported to the army, and other places such as Shandong and Henan also had these kinds of timber, but no one received it at all, and even if it was collected, it could not be supplied because of inconvenient transportation, and it was tossed several times later. I got some local willow trees in the south of the Yangtze River to try, and finally lived up to the painstaking efforts and succeeded, which solved the big problem. With all this, Yu Qiaqing understands the taste of running an industry, and her head is thinner.

Seeing Yu Qiaqing get down from the carriage, Wang Jitong greeted him from afar. He said loudly: "Brother Ade, what's going on with the matches sold recently?" Wang Ji treated people a lot better than before in the same year, and knew that Yu Qiaqing liked to hear others say that he was the "match king", so he asked this question.

When Yu Qiaqing heard this, she saw that it was Wang Jitong, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiao Xu has just arrived." Matches. Pretty good, pretty good......"

Wang Jitong said with a smile: "What's pretty good, Brother Ade's matches are not only sold very well, some time ago the declaration said that you are the match king of my Qing Dynasty." ”

Through the foreshadowing in front of Guò, the sycophant was finally sent out smoothly, and sure enough, Yu Qiaqing laughed when he heard this, but said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." If it weren't for your help, the match factory wouldn't have been able to open. Although he knew that Wang Jitong was deliberately praising himself. But Yu Qiaqing's heart is still sweet, and this factory is pouring his hard work.

The two talked as they walked, until they entered the corner of the instrument hall, where Yu Huizu was already waiting. Everyone was polite again. In fact, Wang Jitong also looked for Yu Qiaqing this time in order to cooperate with the plan of the Northeast Bank, and there are a lot of good things in the Northeast. But when it comes to soybeans, some of the oil can be used to make soap, but only a small part, and more soybean oil and soybean cake are to be exported. Tongguò's previous sales channel based on MSG was a channel, but the soybean oil and soybean cake were all bulk trades, and the best way was to use the existing trading houses on top of this.

Just as the people of Shaoxing are basically famous for opening money houses, the people of Ningbo mainly started by opening commercial houses. Yu Qiaqing was originally in the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, only after Zhu Baosan and other old-timers, but now relying on the name of Tianzi and his own match king, he has faintly become the leader of the next generation of Ningbo merchants. Because his energy is mainly in the match factory, and he only symbolically participates in the business outside the customs, so this time Wang Jitong pulled Yu Huizu to negotiate with Yu Qiaqing, Yu Huizu as a partner and fellow villager, and Wang Jitong as Yang Rui's personal representative.

After everyone sat down, Wang Jitong took the gift from Yu Ziyi, he handed the two boxes to Yu Huizu and Yu Qiaqing, and said: "This is the best Swiss foreign watch that I entrusted me to bring to the two of you." In the previously discussed lies, Yang Rui was still in Germany with Yu Zixun and Xu Huafeng at this time.

Yu Qiaqing took the box, but she was relieved. Since Su reported the case last year, although Yang Rui left Shanghai very early and said that he would go to Europe, he still suspected that Yang Rui was the leader of the Revival Association and "became a brother". Later, when the match factory was completed, he devoted his funds and energy to this, and he only symbolically participated in a small part of the Northeast industry. However, suspicion is suspicion, it is impossible for him to report it, after all, everyone is a fellow villager, if the matter he reported spreads, then his reputation will be completely ruined. The business field of this era is about unlimited responsibility, and faith is better than money; If his reputation is bad, no one will do business with him, no matter how much money he has. In line with the principle of self-preservation and trustworthiness, Yu Qiaqing has been very careful in the past year.

Now that he heard that Yu Zixun and Xu Huafeng had both proved that Yang Rui was in Germany, not in the revival army in the northeast that was in the limelight in the newspapers, his heart immediately relaxed. In his opinion, Yu Zixun may be a revolutionary party because he is a young man, but Xu Huafeng, who is old and tired of the emperor's favor, will definitely not be. His heart turned back and forth, but his face did not show any expression, and he only said: "It is true, it will be half a year after leaving, it would be good for him to come back early, he is not there, my match factory is almost finished, and he will not come back soon." What a gift? When people come back, it's the best gift. ”

Wang Jitong didn't know what Yu Qiaqing was thinking, so he only said: "Hey, there are many things in the Northeast, and I have to buy a machine and set up an iron factory." If you go to Guò foreign company, it will cost a lot of money. There is no way to do it, and then there is the soda ash and soap making in the real yàn room to find a way to go to Germany, and it is still impossible to do it here in Shanghai alone. ”

The affairs of the Northeast and the production of soda ash and soap Yu Qiaqing all know, after all, he is still the original shareholder of Tianzihao, but he is still very surprised and said: "Don't talk about this soap making." Can this soda ash really be made? That's not a big deal! Last time, it took a lot of effort to settle the matter with that caustic soda, but now the business of Bonemen Foreign Company is getting bigger and bigger, and if it really comes out, then the matter will be big. ”

Last time, he pulled Zhu Baosan to settle the Bu Neimen Foreign Company, this is still caustic soda, if it is soda ash, then it is not something he can settle. Even the official offices of the Qing Dynasty will definitely make those foreign hairs bad. It is said that this soda ash manufacturing has an international alliance, and several major powers are in it.

Wang Jitong said: "Brother Ade, don't worry." It will take several years for this technology to be produced. Besides, if you want to run a soda ash factory, you can't do it in Shanghai, and you should do it in the northeast. ”

Speaking of the Northeast, Grandpa Yu Hui spoke, "Xiao Xu." Who will win in the Northeast, everyone used to say that the Russians, but now it is estimated that the Japanese will win. ”

Although the Russian army was repulsed in the Battle of Shahe a few days ago, the Japanese army also killed more than 30,000 people, the supplies were completely exhausted, and there was no offensive ability at all. In order to attack again. Although the situation of the Japanese army was much worse than in the real history of later generations, such a result still made observers lose their glasses, so Yu Huizu, who often reads newspapers, asked this question.

Wang Jitong said: "According to our people in the Northeast, Japan still wants to win." But Japan wins or Russia wins, and this battle will always end next year. This time, Brother Ade was invited to come for the sake of the local products of the Northeast. Without mentioning the gossip, Wang Jitong continued: "As we all know, the Northeast produces soybeans and soybean oil and soybean cakes are exported in huge quantities every year. Tiantong Company has not been established for a long time, and the network is still incomplete, so I still have to ask Brother Ade for help in this matter. "In order to manage the sales channel, according to the convention of naming Tianzihao, this trading company is called Tiantong Commercial Bank.

Yu Qiaqing didn't expect this to be the case. He also knew that Zhong Guanguan was doing a lot over there, especially the railway company, and making the whole country famous, he thought for a while and said: "If it is a wholesale trading house, but it is okay, even the old customers before these commercial houses will be offended, although I have a friendship with everyone, but if this business is trustworthy, I can only go and talk to you, I can't be sure." Also, didn't Tiantong Company build some points in the provincial capitals, so wouldn't it compete with the wholesale firms? ”

In fact, Wang Jitong means to walk on two legs, because he is not very familiar with the soybean cake and soybean oil markets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he has to borrow from the firm, otherwise there is no way to guarantee the shipment. But it is not so simple to use the firm, one is like the hypermarket of later generations, the suppliers are fixed, rashly enter is to grab the business of other suppliers, Northeast soybean marketing in Shanghai for many years, most of the firm are and do the Northeast soybean business of the merchant friendship is not shallow, the second is the Tianzi brand finally has outlets in Jiangnan, now their own outlets are not enough, to use the firm, if the network ability is strong, then it is not to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Wang Jitong knew Yu Qiaqing's worries, and said: "The business bank is not only selling our goods, the merchants of the business bank still stayed earlier, and we just competed with those merchants; Then there is the matter of Tiantong and the competition of the commercial bank, this is also safe, the northeast will begin to immigrate next year, the output of soybeans will be larger and larger year by year, and finally Tiantong and the commercial bank together to carry the goods, actually said that this is a long-term business, will not cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Hearing that Wang Jitong understood his worries, Yu Qiaqing smiled, he understood that this plan must be from Yang Rui's hand, this guy never looks at the surface of things, and always focuses on the roots, which is very similar to the taste of foreigners' big trusts. In this era of prevalent commercial banks, if you change someone, Yu Qiaqing must be sneering in her heart, and at the same time, she will persuade the other party to move bricks properly, don't think crookedly. Because it is completely impossible to build such a big trust, which not only requires a huge amount of money, but also huge government resources and technical support, but the monosodium glutamate industry has been made into a trust by Yang Rui, behind this monosodium glutamate is not only a chlor-alkali factory, but now there is a soap factory, and now it has reached out to the soybeans, and it is estimated that it intends to use soybean oil to make soap like the real yàn room.

Although Yu Qiaqing doesn't know what resource integration is called to reduce costs. But he understands that once such a big trust is made, it will be difficult for ordinary companies to compete with it, and only another trust company of the same level can beat him. However, this is also another reason why Yu Qiaqing shifted his energy to the match factory, if it is really such a big deal, then the government will be concerned.

Wang Jitong's question, Yu Qiaqing thought for a moment and said, "If the goods are sold in two houses and the prices are different." I think it is better to have two companies, one is to sell goods through the compradors of the Tiantong Company in various places, and the other is specialized in the sales of goods through the Guò Commercial Bank, one company, two brands. In this way, it is difficult for everyone to say anything. ”

Yu Huizu said: "Okay." That's a good idea. No wonder it is said that Ade is the barefoot God of Wealth. "Yu Huizu has obviously changed the soil of the ocean, and the sycophants are completely outdated, I don't know what Yu Qiaqing likes to listen to recently." In this way, the comptoir still needs Ade's help in contacting you. Do you know that I ...... now" Yu Huizu looked unspeakable.

Yu Huizu is now China's MSG king, and at the same time he is also a well-known entrepreneur and Ming family in China, and has also invested in the Antongfeng Railway. Such a rich but no backer is an outlier in my Qing Dynasty, if it weren't for his whole family hiding in the concession, and the factory has foreigners' shares, he would have been robbed and killed. The tenth day of the tenth lunar month is the birthday of the current queen mother, in order to show filial piety and respect, under Yang Rui's construction, he went abroad last time to buy a lot of Western auspicious rui - kangaroos, koalas, giraffes and the like back. At the same time, he also offered 100,000 taels of silver to the queen mother to celebrate her birthday, and Li Lianying's side also made 50,000 taels of Zhang Huanrong's relationship. At the moment of the sunset in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his actions attracted a lot of scolding, and he was a bit of a situation where everyone shouted and beaten, and he didn't dare to go to Beijing to see the birthday ceremony, so he obediently hid in a small building in the concession.

Yu Qiaqing has no contempt for Yu Huizu, he is really rich enough to be in such a situation that if he doesn't hug Cixi's thigh, he has to hug the thigh of a foreigner, there is nothing to say, even if Hu Xueyan is such a bull, he must have a backer. Merchants. It looks very beautiful, but it is actually a pig raised by the imperial court.

"Okay, Brother Hanzhang, I'll go find someone in the next two days." Yu Qiaqing said briskly.

After Yu Qiaqing left, Yu Huizu pulled Wang Jitong to leave. asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Wang Ji was calm and said with a smile: "Brother Hanzhang, what can I do to keep you busy?" Don't you know everything? As always, he wanted to walk over with a few simple words.

Yu Huizu said: "I heard that the railway is about to start, is it true?" He actually heard the rumors, but it had nothing to do with Yang Rui, "If we start building, how can we have so much money?" ”

Wang Jitong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Isn't Xian Feng in charge, didn't he tell you?" ”

Yu Huizu said: "Niang Xi, when did that little coffin tell me the truth." "It's all in the same place, and the two of them are familiar with each other, so that Yu Huizu can't care about Sven, "Let me ask you, is the railway really repaired next year?" Is this money enough? ”

Wang Jitong also asked Yang Rui this question, but Yang Rui replied that there was no need to worry, if there was really no money raised, then it would be slower, but looking at the current posture of Tonghua, he could not be busy at all, and Xian Feng didn't know how to go crazy with Xian Feng.

"Brother Hanzhang, Xian Feng said that he can repair if he can repair it, so don't worry. I went to Germany for so long, as if I was talking to the Germans about borrowing. Wang Jitong was afraid that he would be worried, so he comforted.

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said Yu Huizu, he was excited, stood up and said, "What? It turned out to be a loan to build a road? Let him come back immediately, this is a matter of selling his ancestors. Get him back right away. Even if we sell the coal mines, we don't want to borrow money from foreigners to build roads. ”

Wang Jitong didn't expect his mouth to become like this for a while, he said: "Okay, okay, I'll send a telegram to Jingcheng immediately." Brother Hanzhang, let's fix it slowly. Don't be in a hurry, we'll open a section and earn money for a section. Don't ask foreigners to borrow money. ”

"Don't ask foreigners for loans, those foreign hairs, eat people and don't spit out bones. As long as it is stained, there is absolutely no good thing. You see, isn't there no draw now? also went to the UK to fight a lawsuit, and the calls were all family, who would turn their elbows outward? Yu Hui Zu said. In order to recapture the Kaiping mine from the British, the Qing court recently published in the newspapers that it had ordered people to send people to Britain to fight the lawsuit, but all Chinese newspapers were not optimistic about this prosecution. Yu Huizu thought that if the railway he invested in was a loan from a foreigner, it was estimated that the result would not be better than that of Kaiping Mine.

Wang Jitong said the wrong thing, so he had to smile bitterly in his heart, and repeatedly promised: "Brother Hanzhang, don't worry." It turned out that last time it was just a simple mention, and it wasn't really to be discussed. Besides, he has a lot of things to do in Germany, which is fortunate that Zixun and Mr. Hua Feng are here and can help. ”

Wang Jitong chatted with Yu Huizu for a while before leaving, and as soon as he went out, Yu Ziyi gave him the two pieces of information he had just received. Wang Jitong read one and then another, and was dumbfounded when he saw it, and asked, "Is the news accurate?" ”

Yu Ziyi nodded and said, "Sir, it's true." Our men came through the patrol room. Cai Yi Cai Songpo, who came back from Tokyo, is waiting for Mr. in Guiyuan Spring Teahouse for this matter. ”

Wang Jitong originally had other things to do, so he didn't speak when he heard the words, and only said after a while: "Let's go, go to the teahouse." ”
